Chapter 31 Non-Confucian Education? ? ?
"Yes, it's not Confucianism, this is the law I want to implement!"

"Xia Yuanji, take it back and take a look. You can formulate a strategy for me in the next few days!"

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Xia Yuanji was a little puzzled, he still agreed.

He is not a traditional Confucian official, and he does not have much resistance to promoting non-Confucianism. In contrast, he is more curious about the teaching method that Zhu Di wants to promote.

And the meeting ended quickly.

There was a little eunuch who delivered the textbooks for elementary and middle school students to Xia Yuanji's home.

As soon as Xia Yuanji returned home, he couldn't wait to look at the books given by Zhu Di.

Seeing this, Xia Yuanji was a little fascinated.

Textbooks used by middle school students in nine-year compulsory education, including Chinese, mathematics, English, science, history and society, geography, morality and the rule of law, biology, history, physics, chemistry, art, music, physical education and health, information technology and other subjects .

Of course, Jiang Chen didn't have everything he sent, including English, information technology, and history.

However, even so, the books in it are still extremely large, with hundreds of them.

What shocked Xia Yuanji even more was the content and division of subjects.

Chinese, history and society, morality and the legal system are okay, and even mathematics did not surprise him much, but geography, biology, history, physics, and chemistry seemed to open up a whole new world for him.

Especially when the geography was opened, the huge world map made Xia Yuanji shake violently.

Even with the opening of the era of great voyages, Xia Yuanji has already felt that the world is much bigger than he imagined, but he never thought that the world would be so huge.

"It turns out this is the world!"

Xia Yuanji murmured to himself. At this moment, he finally understood why Zhu Di was so determined to go overseas. He also understood why His Majesty the Emperor had an endless supply of gold and silver in his private treasury, and he had the confidence to support the huge education plan.

And if it is said that geography has given Xia Yuanji a shock to his vision.

Even biology, physics, and chemistry seem to have opened up completely new doors for him.

He never imagined that the world would be like this.

Everything around me ended up like this.

Even Chinese and mathematics shocked Xia Yuanji.

Because compared with the current books, these books given by His Majesty the Emperor are more suitable for children's books and more suitable for popularization.

Often simple language describes extremely complex processes.

Simply incredible.

And at this sight, Xia Yuanji was completely silent.

It was not until seven days later that Xia Yuanji gradually came back to his senses from this vast sea of ​​books.

Of course, this does not mean that he has read all the books in these seven days.

Seven days was only enough for him to take a rough look. The reason why he did not continue to look at it was also very simple. Zhu Di needed him to come up with a plan in a short time.

Originally, after reading the book, Xia Yuanji was prepared to object.

Although he is not a traditional Confucian scholar, he believes that Confucianism is the most suitable for popularizing education and is more suitable for the stability of the country.

In contrast, neither Huang-Lao's school nor other schools of thought are suitable for popularization.

However, no one expected that the books Zhu Di gave him were not from other schools of thought. Although traces of Mohism and Taoism could be seen vaguely in the books, these books were not about Taoism and Mohism, but about practical application of the world. books.

Compared with Confucianism, these books seem to be more suitable, at least not to mention others, the titles of Chinese and Mathematics are very appropriate.

And in this way, the original objection will undoubtedly be much less.

He began to think about His Majesty the Emperor's words.

And this thought took almost three days.

It was not until three days later that Xia Yuanji met Zhu Di again.

Seeing Xia Yuanji's arrival, Zhu Di couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, it should be possible to educate the people based on these books, but I feel that only Chinese, mathematics, and history are needed. As for the others, they can be left in the Imperial College."

"As for how to implement it, Your Majesty only needs to publish this book to the world. This year's imperial examination will use this book to select test questions. Those who pass the boy style can be given the post of edict and teach the world."

After Xia Yuanji saluted, he murmured slightly and opened his mouth.

In his opinion, the other books were too important, especially the techniques described in them, which made his scalp numb. It would not be a good thing to release them directly to the public.

As for how to promote the world, Xia Yuanji has also thought of a way these days.

The biggest problem for the Ming Dynasty today is not money. Since His Majesty the Emperor said that there is a private treasury, then there is no need to worry about it. The only problem is the teacher.

If you want to popularize education, you naturally need enough teachers.

It is obviously inappropriate to use Confucian scholars as teachers, but without them, there are not so many scholars in the world.

The way Xia Yuanji came up with was to directly screen people through the imperial examination.

Now the entire Ming Dynasty has gradually stabilized, and the number of people taking the imperial examination has reached tens of thousands. With such a huge crowd, it is not too easy to select enough available talents.

As for changing the mode of the imperial examination, that is not a problem.

After all, it has only been a few years since Lao Zhu resumed the imperial examination. No one knows what the imperial examination was like before.

If you add a few more things, there won't be any problems with the prestige of Emperor Yongle.

And listening to Xia Yuanji's words, Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

He has been thinking about this problem for a while, and he has not thought of any solution. He wanted to ask the husband, but the husband is no longer online, but he did not think that Xia Yuanji really had a solution.

And even after listening to it for a while, Zhu Di felt that it was very feasible.

"It's just my love, hahaha!"

"This method is indeed feasible, but just stay in the Imperial College. What I, the Ming Dynasty, need is an eternal foundation. Why should I care about this little thing?"

"When the common people are prosperous and strong, I am prosperous and strong in Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Di laughed.

Listening to Zhu Di's words, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but be shocked, and looked at Zhu Di with a somewhat surprised expression.

But Zhu Di didn't care about these things. Jiang Chen's words undoubtedly opened up a new world for him. He naturally understood that self-preservation would only lead to backwardness, so it goes without saying how to choose.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Xia Yuanji bowed, with a somewhat emotional expression.

"Okay, I will leave the matter of Aiqing to you, and you must start as soon as possible!"

Zhu Di waved his hand, and then spoke solemnly to Xia Yuanji.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xia Yuanji nodded and agreed directly.
