back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 689
The little emperor wanted to start the elementary school, but Huangzhuang invested in it. As soon as the news came out, it caused a thousand waves with one stone. Some people were happy and some were worried.

The people who are happy are naturally ordinary people. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, it takes three generations of self-cultivation farmers to cultivate a scholar.It can be seen that reading at this time is not an easy task.Even the "Disciples Regulations" of later generations also said, "If you have spare energy, study literature."The usual explanation is that only when family conditions permit can one study literature.The original text is what Confucius said. He said: "When students enter, they will be filial; If you really fulfill all the requirements, it is really not easy. If you still have enough energy to do it, you need to learn some other cultural knowledge.The ancients paid more attention to literature, but more to moral character, which can be seen.

And elementary school, naturally also cultivates a person's moral character.Whether Mencius believes that human nature is inherently good or Xunzi believes that human nature is inherently evil, they all have one thing in common, that is, they can be guided by learning.It's just that Mencius advocated that through education, foster and cultivate the buds of goodness, so that goodness can be carried forward; Xunzi advocated that through education, limit the tendency of evil, so that the evil of human nature can be transformed into goodness.

Lu Chengqi knew that 90.00% of the people in Dashun were unable to touch books, so it was impossible to talk about teaching and enlightenment.Therefore, it is logical to invest in Huangzhuang and start Mengxue.It's just that in this way, it will inevitably touch official schools and many private schools.

The highest school of the Dashun court is naturally Guozijian.Under the Guozijian, the imperial court set up Guozixue and Taixue to teach Confucian classics, and martial arts, law, medicine, arithmetic, calligraphy, and painting to teach various specialized knowledge and skills.The official school has sent a lot of talents to the imperial examination, but they are all increasingly mediocre talents.After these candidates entered the Imperial College, their thinking became more and more rigid, and they did not know how to be flexible.Of course, this also has a lot to do with teaching methods.

The Taixue under the Imperial College is better.Because Hu Yuan, Mr. Anding, once gave lectures for Taixue, Hu Yuan's "Fenzhai Teaching" (also known as "Suhu Teaching Method") was promoted in Taixue.It is characterized by the equal emphasis on classics and practical learning, and the combination of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and learning from each other.The students taught are indeed great talents in the country.

In addition to Guozijian and Taixue, local state capitals also have government schools.Established the establishment and support system of various schools in the prefecture, state, county, and commune (specifying the name of the instructor, responsibilities, and the number of students and treatment), teaching system, examination system, reward and punishment system, and tributes to the Central Imperial College for supervising students systems, etc., are quite detailed.A chief executive in charge of local education was also specially set up, such as the Zhulu Xueguan and the Zhulu Education Department.The imperial court will also award school land as a fixed fund for local schools. All local government schools have a corresponding quota of school land, and the land rent income and expenditure are managed by the school manager.In addition to various disciplines, there are also martial arts, medicine, etc., but due to the influence of the imperial examinations, martial arts is declining day by day.

Some people said, since there are so many official schools, why set up elementary schools? Isn't this a conflict!
In fact, it is not the case. As I said earlier, it takes three generations of self-cultivation farmers to cultivate a scholar.When I was in elementary school, I had to hire a private school teacher, which cost a lot of money.The official school of the imperial court is not free, and it has to be completed.Shuxiu means that when students and teachers meet for the first time, they must first present gifts to show respect. It is called "Shuxiu", which has been practiced as early as Confucius' time.The tuition fee is "a few pieces of Shuxiu", and Shuxiu is salted pork. Later, it basically means apprenticeship fee, which can be understood as tuition fee.The ceremony of Shuxiu is still used in the official school of the imperial court, and the court has clearly stipulated that "Shuxiu" should be paid.It's just that the weight of this gift varies with the nature of the school.When the teacher accepts the "shuxiu", he must also observe considerable etiquette.Shu Xiu's sending off shows the students' respect for the teachers.

When a disciple wants to learn from a teacher, he must show it. "Ten strips of bacon" is the teacher's ceremony stipulated by Confucius.In Dashun, the material conditions are much better than those in the pre-Qin period, and the "ten pieces of bacon" are nothing.This bunch of repairs changed suddenly and became money.The local official school stipulates that the "tuition fee" for one year is five guan, the imperial school is eight guan, and the Guozijian is ten guan.Don't underestimate the five pennies, which is already a year's expenditure for a family of three in Dashun.Only the native Chang'an people feel that the tuition fee is not expensive.It can be seen how difficult it is to train a scholar.And this is still a huge gamble. It is not an exaggeration to describe the imperial examination as a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. How many people can really win the gold list?The rest are mediocre, but they are reduced to the country private school teacher, the person who writes the letter, and the account manager...

No matter which dynasty you are in, it is always difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and natural resources will not be inclined to you, unless you are really a genius, a genius like Fan Zhongyan, hard work plus opportunities.The official school is so expensive, and many Zhonglingyuxiu children are delayed, which is a kind of sadness.

No, as soon as Mengxue came out, it robbed the "business" of private schools, private schools, and government schools. Many people scolded angrily, saying that there are some who are "unnecessary", some who are "worrisome", and what is more, Lu Chengqi "" Blind worry".Because they know that according to the temperament of the Han people who are greedy for small things, how could it be possible to leave the free ones and go to the money-seeking ones?Maybe the family of merchants will choose private schools and government schools, but more students are snatched away by Meng School.

However, they scolded and scolded, but their actions would not be too big.Because Mengxue finally entered the Royal University.Where is Royal University?According to scholars, it is a place to train craftsmen.Except for studying medicine, it is better to be an official.Don't you see, the students of the Royal University have been studying for two years, what is the way out?So if you want to be an official, you should choose private school or government school; if you want to work, you should choose Mongolian school!

If the most anxious person in Dashun is Kong Lin.

Everyone knows that Kong Lin is the 47th grandson of Confucius. How can the little emperor miss him when he wants to get others?Although he is not from the main house, he is also a member of the Kong family!He is the second son of Kong Ruoyu, and he is quite famous.

As soon as he got the "Dashun Min Bao" in the morning, he glanced at it, and then he was "filled with righteous indignation" and went straight to the palace without even going to the palace.

At this time, Lu Chengqi hadn't woken up yet, and was still soundly asleep.This Kong Lin was the one who didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back, so he waited for half a day outside the Xuande Gate, and then outside the Chui Gong Hall, carrying the dew on his shoulders, before he saw Lu Chengqi walking slowly.

"Chen Konglin, see Your Majesty!"

In the morning of late autumn, it was still dark at this moment, and Gao Hao still had to hold a lantern, fearing that Lu Chengqi would fall.This sudden sound startled Lu Chengqi unpreparedly, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses: "Why did Kong Qing come to ask for an interview so early, could it be that there is something important to announce?"

Kong Lin took a deep breath: "I come to ask His Majesty for an official position!"

Lu Chengqi was even more confused: "Ask for an official? What kind of official?"
