Ancient Rome: From Slaveholder to Supreme Emperor

Chapter 241 Planning to Build a School

Indeed, in Rome, and even in the entire Mediterranean, the illiteracy rate in each country is at least 99.9%. Those who can understand words, that is, nobles, or rich people, civilians are basically literate, and at most they can simply be able to read. Do arithmetic, settle accounts, or know your name and nothing more.

Because the civilization and culture of this continent were not very developed, and with years of wars, military skills and force became the primary pursuit of the Romans. Reading and literacy were regarded as useless by many people.

In fact, from 146 BC, the Romans conquered Greece, a large number of Greek teachers came to Rome to run schools, and Rome gradually formed an education system based on the Greek school model.

However, although educational schools have appeared, how many civilians are willing to spend money to let their children go to school to receive “April 17” education.

The education in Rome during this period was divided into three stages.

Elementary education. Boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 12 enter private elementary schools for primary education. Primary school buildings are poorly equipped, teachers’ social status is low, and income is low. The teaching content is also very simple, only reading, writing and counting.

The nobles and other upper classes hire tutors instead of sending their children to elementary school.

Secondary education is no longer accessible to the children of ordinary people.

After the children of the nobles and the wealthy had received family education, they entered grammar school. Teachers are called grammarians or writers. Teachers are well-paid and have a higher social status. The school focuses on learning grammar (including literature and language). At first, the grammar school was completely presided over by Greeks, teaching Greek and Greek literature, so it was also called the Greek grammar school.

The first Latin grammar school only appeared in 100 BC.

Higher education is due to the establishment of the republic. Speeches become an important tool for participating in public events. People engaged in official activities must not only have rhetoric and eloquence, but also be proficient in literature and have extensive knowledge.

The higher education in the later period of the Republic was mainly the education of orators. After the youth completed the grammar school, the children of the nobles who were going to take up public positions entered the rhetoric school. The teaching subjects of the rhetoric school include rhetoric, dialectics, law, mathematics, astronomy, geometry, ethics and music.

The education system in Rome during this period did develop well, but education was aimed at the nobles and had little to do with commoners.

Moreover, although they study many subjects, their purpose is to be a better official.

However, it is only for the purpose of campaigning and grandstanding. It is not like China. To study for the sake of being an official, in addition to mastering a wealth of knowledge and dialectics, you must also have a skill, or governance, or internal affairs, or strategy. , Or calculation.

Otherwise, in ancient China, how could there be such a brilliant culture, so many scholars’ thoughts, so many strategic books and military books.

“Master, what are you thinking about?”

Caroline came over and asked softly.

“I want to start a school!”

Ye Tian said softly.

Yes, he already has a private domain. He wants to set up a school in his domain, and it is compulsory education. All school-age children must be sent to school to receive education in subjects designated by Ye Tian.

There are too few talents, and the methods and subjects of education in Rome are not him.

To restore the monarchy, it is not enough to rely on a group of illiterate people or people who can only speak and dialectical support.

The thoughts and doctrines of Confucianism must be moved to textbooks, so that the next generation in Rome can accept the thoughts of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, anger, loyalty, filial piety, and timidity. After learning these, they can start learning. Various subjects, astronomy, geography, literature, poetry, music, mathematics.

This is the content of compulsory education.

Management, governance, planning, military administration, and science will also have these subjects, but they will never appear in compulsory education schools, but in special military schools.

In addition to compulsory education schools, Ye Tian also plans to host a special military school. Only students with talent can enter the school. Those who can enter this school must be loyal to Ye Tian, ​​and the loyalty must reach at least eighty. His slave.

Management, governance, planning, military administration, science, after learning these, they are no different from the elites of the entire society.Ye Tian must control them in his own hands, use them for himself, and govern the empire for himself in the future.

If people who are not loyal enough and who have learned military strategy betray him, it will be a headache.

Therefore, if you want to become the elite of the society, you must become Ye Tian’s slave.

The culture of this continent is indeed very backward, there are few books, and there are even fewer famous books.

After a generation of Ye Tian builds education, it will not take long for this continent to usher in the violent impact of Chinese culture. Even at the right time, even at the right time, Ye Tian can make Chinese characters become the mainstream culture of this continent. one.

Perhaps more than ten years later, Ye Tian will become the world’s teacher of this era.

After all, all the books will come from his hands.

Of course, what freedom, democracy and lovesickness, Ye Tian will not let them appear, and Ye Tian will use education to obliterate these ideas.

All are free and democratic, how can Ye Tian become a slave owner and create a monarchy like this!

The monopoly of wealth, the deterrence of armed forces, and ideological slavery will become Ye Tian’s three-pronged approach to control the world in the future.

Everything waits until he harvests enough attribute points and becomes a god.

“Host a school?

Caroline was very curious, but she didn’t want to bother about these trivial matters, and squatted in front of Ye Tian on her own, to please Ye Tian.

1.7

“Damn Caroline!

Ye Tian took a deep breath and said slowly, then the document he translated was thrown aside.

The Latin text above is impressively Confucianism.

There is no way, Ye Tian must translate it himself, because no one knows the Chinese characters of the square in this continent, which is why Ye Tian wants to make Chinese characters become the mainstream culture of this continent immediately.

Although with the help of the system, he has mastered the Latin script, but it is really not an easy task to translate it. It is a lot of work and a headache.

Therefore, Ye Tian plans to let his people learn Hanzi as soon as the time comes, so that they will have a headache.

Chinese characters must be learned by someone, because he will definitely bring people back to that land in the future.
