Scroll B: Morning Dew Waiting for the Sun, Section 10: Teaching Students in Accordance with Their Aptitude

According to the study regulations of Qingtan Academy, there is a half-hour teaching time in the morning and afternoon, and there are professors and teaching assistants who are responsible for teaching Jingyi to teach in separate classrooms, and the evening is mainly for the study and discussion of policy theories.

The fourth, fourteenth, and twenty-fourth of each month are routine self-examination and cultivation of moral cultivation, and every student must write a reflection on the self-cultivation of a literati, which is also a major difference between Qingtan Academy and other academies.

With the late reign of Emperor Taishang, it gradually began to evolve from the examination to the original scriptures and meanings as the main policy theory.

Twenty-six years after the Yuan Dynasty, the proportion of Jingyi and policy theory in the examination has been divided, changing the style of the eight-strand text in the early Ming Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty.

Since the thirty-second year of Yuanxi, that is, the thirty-fifth year of Yuanxi, the proportion of policy theory has become more and more obvious, and this change has also extended to the Qiufu Township Test.

That is to say, even the township test, in which the original Jingyi was absolutely dominant, has changed, and the policy theory has begun to gain the upper hand.

Of course, the policy theory of the township examination is more inclined to the social conditions, public opinion, and political opinions of the province as the policy examination questions, while the general examination is generally covering the national political theory as the examination question point.

This change also directly affected the study of Qingtan Academy.

Especially in the autumn of the first year of Yonglong and the spring of the second year of Yonglong, the new emperor made it clear that the cabinet should pay more attention to the timeliness and effectiveness of the policy in the scientific examination, and the policy articles of the scholars should be to the point of the times.

The new emperor also reversed the usual practice that the emperor would no longer mark the papers after the fourteenth year of Yuanxi, and he had to mark the papers of every student who passed the Jinshi examination.

Needless to say, the first-class jinshi were all hand-picked by the emperor, and the second-class jinshi emperor had to read them in person, and the third-class jinshi test papers had to be selected, but in fact, in the spring test paper of the second year of Yonglong, the new emperor almost read all the jinshi papers one by one.

"Dongxian, Dongyuan is so enthusiastic, it seems that I thought badly." Motioning for the other party to take a seat, Qi Yongtai's face was warm, but his eyes were very calm.

"Brother Chengfeng, Brother Chengfeng has also thought about this matter, since Brother Chengfeng can rest assured that Yuxuan, Zhonglun and Ziying are responsible for this kind of matter, and take out the text within five days, I think that Brother Chengfeng is also optimistic about the students of Dongyuan, since this is the case, we might as well give them more opportunities, so that they can let go more,......

Guan Yingzhen has become accustomed to this kind of dialogue and confrontation with Qi Yongtai, and it should be said that this is not actually a confrontation, but more like a kind of exchange.

Qi Yongtai and him must have differences and emphasises about the teaching activities of the college, which is also normal.

In Guan Yingzhen's view, Qi Yongtai's focus is still more on the DPRK.

Qi Yongtai's purpose of valuing the sons of the West Garden is very simple, more than two years later, there are many talents in the West Garden, according to Qi Yongtai's estimates, among more than 20 people, there may be a relatively large breakthrough, and more than 10 people in the examination are not known.

And the most poor Jinshi in this batch of exams can also have a few people become Shu Jishi, and it is very likely that they will enter the Hanlin Academy in the future, and this group of people will soon become the mainstay of the imperial court in the future, which is the most useful for Qi Yongtai, who may be resurrected next year.

In contrast, like Dongyuan Zhusheng, you still need to pass the autumn pass in the year after tomorrow, even after the examination is lifted, in the spring of the year after the year, there are only a handful of people who can directly pass the Jinshi, that is, one or two people are already commendable.

The vast majority of people still need to hone one or two subjects, or even three or four subjects before they can be admitted to the Jinshi, and many of them can't even persevere, but can only go out as a person.

If you focus on different points, then the way you look at problems and deal with them will naturally be different.

However, Qi Yongtai is not the kind of person who is stubborn and self-serving, and when the premise is the same, he and Guan Yingzhen get along well, so although there are differences on this issue, it is not a matter of principle, and it can be agreed upon.

"Well, since Dongxian trusts them so much, it's not a bad thing for them to get in touch with these contents earlier and cut into a deeper way, and it is also beneficial for them to mature earlier." Qi Yongtai nodded, "Next year, the next year's township test, Brother Yu estimates that the imperial court may have further changes on the basis of last year's autumn, and more attention should be paid to the current policy theory, and the academy will need to be adjusted in this regard." ”

"Brother Chengfeng means that our academy still needs to adjust the curriculum?" Guan Yingzhen frowned slightly.

If the foundation of the scriptures is not solid, even the policy theory also needs to be explained and exerted on the basis of the scriptures.

In Guan Yingzhen's view, Qingtan Academy has attached great importance to the issue of current policy theory, and the discussion on current policy theory often lasts until the time of the day every night, which can be described as serious and intense, and sometimes even professors and teaching assistants will be attracted to it and argue red-faced.

This is also the most attractive class for students, but if you ignore the foundation of scripture and righteousness, resulting in the lack of support for the interpretation and narration in the township examination, it will be a bit of a waste of time.

"I know Dongxian's concerns, but have you noticed, in the past two or three years, with the growing fame of our academy, although the students who come to our academy are young, most of them are talents in one province and one province, many of them have been familiar with the four books and five classics since childhood, and even have the teaching of famous teachers in the province and the government, and they are among the best in the county and government examinations, what does this mean? It shows that their foundation in the area of scripture and righteousness is not bad. ”

Qi Yongtai patiently explained: "What many of them lack now is to further refine and sublimate the scriptures, form some of their own ideas, and then use this viewpoint to analyze and interpret various aspects of current politics, which they are the most lacking, and they also need time and a large number of examples to temper and sharpen." ”

"That's why Brother Chengfeng wants to use Feng Keng's trip to Shandong to do a pilot?" The official should shake his head.

In fact, the academy has also tried to do this, but most of them are explained from the news obtained from some imperial court newspapers, because it is too far away from itself, and there is a lack of effective understanding and grasp of its detailed details, so many interpretations and analyses seem to be a bit vain and cannot achieve the best effect.

In this regard, there is a gap between Qingtan Academy and Tonghui Academy and Chongzheng Academy, because there are many Guozi supervisors in Tonghui Academy, and many of them have experience in the past and can provide some examples for teaching.

In Chongzheng Academy, there are the most children of the eunuchs and gentry, and many of these children can be used as teaching examples through some things experienced by their fathers and brothers, which is similar to the history of the Guozi Prison Supervisor.

"Yes, such a rare opportunity is very meaningful to both the East Park and the West Garden, and the students of our college are exactly what they need the most in this regard." Qi Yongtai smiled, "But Dongxian, your worries are also reasonable, we need to teach students according to their aptitude, some of them are relatively weak in terms of scripture and righteousness, so they need to make up for it in a targeted manner, such as Feng Ziying, this son is particularly good in terms of current affairs, but it can only be said that it is unsatisfactory in terms of scripture and righteousness,......

Guan Yingzhen pondered Qi Yongtai's point of view carefully, and felt that it was acceptable, and the other party was also aware of some changes in the imperial court at the township examination meeting, so he made such a suggestion, which was also beneficial to the entire academy.

"Well, if Feng Keng performs well in this teaching task, he can be regarded as passing the entrance exam."

"Dongxian is too harsh." Qi Yongtai shook his head with a smile, "In my opinion, if you can do this well, it will not be too much to pass the monthly and quarterly exams." ”

For newcomers like Feng Ziying, Qiao Yingjia also mentioned in the letter that this son may not have enough skills in economic righteousness, and the monthly and quarterly examinations of this academy are quite strict, and they will never deliberately release water, so it is really not easy for Feng Ziying to pass this hurdle.

Qi Yongtai also hoped to give Feng Ziying more time to make up for his shortcomings.

Guan Yingzhen thought about it and felt that it was okay, after all, such a teaching task could be done, which would be of great benefit to the entire academy student group, and Feng Ziying's role in it was irreplaceable.
