1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 345 Culture and Education
"You don't want to teach in the school, do you want to come out to do things?" Qi Tian looked at the dozen or so young people in front of him, and couldn't help frowning.

They are some teenagers who have studied with me. In more than three years, they have learned a lot from simple reading and recognition, to mechanical theory, and even political, economic and cultural concepts.Although their knowledge may not be as good as ordinary Ming scholars, the knowledge they have been instilled is very broad, and their horizons and thinking have also been opened. The only thing they lack is probably practical experience.

Fifty or sixty teenagers had gradually grown up. Except for a few older ones who were assigned to the Military and Civil Affairs and Navy and Army Officer Schools, most of them still stayed in the Jianye City Academy, learning more and deeper knowledge while working part-time Teaching children in elementary schools to read and write.

"General Manager, I have been studying for three years. Although I can't make any profound knowledge, I am barely qualified as a small civil affairs official." Cao Deming said: "Recently, a large number of immigrants will come one after another. The civil affairs departments and counties There is a great shortage of auxiliary administrative personnel in the town. At this time, we can apply what we have learned, educate and guide new immigrants, so as to consolidate the foundation of our Hanzhou."

"However, I want you to continue to study, and your part-time professorship is also the most critical." Qi Tian said: "I have emphasized to you several times that the development of a country is the most important thing. At the same time, there is a more The key factor is that we need a large number of people who share a common philosophy and values. Our Hanzhou has only been established for four years, and most of the residents are from Ming Dynasty, and they are poor and hungry people, or down-and-out literati and craftsmen."

"Although these people need our Hanzhou support and settlement at the beginning, they are our best public foundation. Everything they have is provided by our Hanzhou, and they are naturally our supporters and advocates. However, we The future development and strength of Hanzhou will fall on their next generation. You have followed me to study and observe politics for many years, and you may also feel that the development path of our Hanzhou is already different from the Ming model."

"Although most of the people in Hanzhou are still engaged in agricultural planting, we have invested more resources and energy in the development of the industrial and mining machinery industry. In the future, we will continue to increase investment, perhaps in a certain period of time. During the period, we even sacrificed and occupied the interests of agricultural planting to cultivate and promote the development of industrial and mining industries. In the future, the strength of our Hanzhou, the expansion of the country, and the increase of people's livelihood and well-being will all depend on this."

"In order to promote the development of industrial and mining industries and the advancement of science and technology, it is inseparable from the cultivation of talents. You may be the first batch of students in Hanzhou who have preliminary comprehensive knowledge and forward-looking ideas. I hope you can continue to study Learn more profound knowledge, whether it is mathematics, physics, chemistry, or mechanical engineering. Every bit of your research results will promote the technological progress of our Hanzhou."

"I might as well tell you that I put those students who have no intention of further studies, or even unable to master newer and deeper knowledge, into the military and civilian affairs as officials and subordinates. You are the seeds of my Hanzhou. When you multiply and reproduce a large number, you have something to do with us. Students with common beliefs. If we only rely on those literati recruited from Ming Dynasty to teach our next generation, how can we know that Hanzhou will not be turned into a second Ming Dynasty?"

Cao Deming and the others were a little excited after hearing what Qi Tian said. It turns out that each of them will play such a great role in Hanzhou in the future.Qitian has never let them come out to do things, not because they don't pay attention to them, but because they want to let them take on the burden of disseminating professors, reinstilling some thoughts and concepts with Hanzhou's new development model to those children, and accumulating more Fans with the same values ​​will lay the ideological foundation and technical foundation for the future development of Hanzhou.

"Although we have compiled books that conform to the Hanzhou model for the children in the school. But among them, the former Daming scholar, who is working as a professor, will more or less teach the children based on his own understanding or his fixed thinking. , it is inevitable to substitute some dross and unrealistic useless knowledge. You must correct it in time, and forcefully instill ideas that are in line with the development of our Hanzhou. Urgently needed talent." Qi Tian continued.

"Don't worry, Chief Manager. When I return to the school, I will definitely study hard and study more profound knowledge, so as to lay the foundation for the development of Hanzhou and the advancement of technology."

Looking at the many students leaving the classroom, Qi Tian was quite relieved.Now, some of them have already begun to learn some of the knowledge of junior and senior high schools that Qi Tian recalled, and they have carried out in-depth practice and summary of various books on medicine, hundred crafts, agricultural planting, mining and smelting collected from Daming, and learned about Han Dynasty. Europe's industrial development has played a considerable role in promoting.

In the future, these outstanding students must not all enter the military and civilian affairs and become an officer or a politician.They may be the first batch of "high-end" talents in Hanzhou, and more talents must be incubated.

"Director, how did you persuade them to continue studying safely?" Song Yingxing asked curiously.

He also appreciates these students very much.Not only open-minded, but also knowledgeable.You know, these people used to be just lonely teenagers from Ming Dynasty, or ordinary peasant children from Luzon.It is because of studying, discussing and practicing together with Qi Tian in the past three years, he can draw inferences about many things and master them quickly.

Now, Song Yingxing has lived in Hanzhou for more than a year, and feels that he has received unprecedented attention. No matter what tools he wants or scientific experiments, the Hanzhou government will try his best to provide them.At present, he is in charge of hosting and managing the Tiangong Institute in Hanzhou, which is more scientific and theoretical research, and the Black Mountain Research Institute, which is more experimental.

For a scholar who devoted himself to scientific research in the early stage and turned to scientific research in the later stage due to his unsatisfactory career, this is an environment that is no better than Hanzhou. Material, human, and financial resources are all-round support and promotion .Here, he got a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that he never had in Daming.

"I just advised them to study for the rise of Hanzhou, for the spread of Chinese civilization all over the world, and for the Han people to stand on top of the world." Qi Tian said with a smile.

Song Yingxing heard the words, couldn't help but looked at each other with Wang Zheng who came with him, Qi Tian has great ambitions!
"Masters, I'm here to talk to you about Hanzhou's primary and secondary education." Qi Tian said seriously: "I think the teaching content of Hanzhou's school still needs to be revised. "

"How to change it again?" Wang Zheng said with some dissatisfaction.As the head of the cultural and educational department of the civil government, he is very concerned about this and is more sensitive.The old man has been studying all his life, don't he know how to teach and educate people?

"I want to delete the elementary and intermediate Confucian classics again, and the writing of the documents, that... try not to follow the ancients, don't imitate stereotypes, and it's better to be easy to understand." Qi Tian thought about the language and said: "In this way, the elementary And intermediate Chinese education will become a little simpler, which will make it easier for students to learn.”

"Don't we in Hanzhou boast that we want to inherit Chinese civilization and traditional culture?" Wang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Last year, you have eliminated most of the Confucian classics from the teaching content, and now you have to delete them again, and even have to Teach students rough and crude Chinese! How dare you talk about inheritance in Hanzhou with such an education?"

"Mr. Liangfu, I would like to ask, what is the purpose of teaching and educating people?" Qi Tian asked.

"The purpose of teaching and educating people is naturally to obtain enough useful talents for Hanzhou." Wang Zheng said: "Of course, for individuals, it may be possible to cultivate one's morality, regulate the family, govern the country and the world. A person who reads can understand the truth, distinguish the truth from the false, recognize loyalty and villainy, and take care of the general situation."

"Cultivating one's morality, regulating one's family, governing one's country and bringing peace to the world, how many years can one study?" Qi Tian asked.

"... Ten years, maybe it can be done." Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Ten years, have we waited in Hanzhou for a large number of Confucian scholars who are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics? Can so many Confucians promote the development of Hanzhou? Mr. Liangfu, whether it is in a country or a region, the development of all personal It all depends on the society. For the government or a local force, education has no other purpose except to meet the needs of the society. Moreover, the results or effects of education are measured by the degree to which its social functions are played. We Hanzhou currently need It is a large number of ordinary craftsmen, entertainers, officials and military officers who can read and write. They don’t need to have very advanced knowledge, and they don’t need to write colorful articles. The main purpose of reading and knowing is to be able to accurately and effectively to communicate.”

"In any dynasty, in any country, there must be only a few people with advanced knowledge. Or, we can put it bluntly, education and learning are only the rights enjoyed by a few people. Those who can complete systematic education and have profound knowledge People at the lower level are always very individual. According to the plan, the primary and secondary education in our Hanzhou is only about six years. If they have learned too many obscure Four Books and Five Classics, how much energy do they have to study other Professional knowledge and learning? How many people do you think in Hanzhou can become great Confucians?"

"Then Hanzhou doesn't need to teach traditional Confucian classics?" Song Yingxing asked when Wang Zheng was silent and seemed to be thinking about what Qi Tian said.

"Of course the Confucian classics can't be completely discarded." Qi Tian said: "After five or six years of study, there will be more or less students who like to study Confucian classics and can master them. In this way, they can continue to study Confucianism intensively to cultivate themselves Regulate the family, and even rule the country and the world.”

"You Hanzhou don't use Confucian classics for the imperial examination to select scholars, who would be willing to study them?" Wang Zheng sighed.

"You two elders, the ancients have a very good saying, the granary is real, you know the etiquette, and you know the honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing. Similarly, once the country of Hanzhou grows, the products are abundant, and the people's living standards improve, there will naturally be spiritual improvement. Pursuit, at that time, in terms of culture and education in Hanzhou, not only the traditional Confucian culture, but also other such as Legalism, Strategists, Mohism, and even Western literature will present a flourishing scene, forming a cultural event where a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers bloom.”

"You Hanzhou don't only respect Confucianism?"

"Tolerance is great!"
