Chapter 1237

Anyone is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and scholars will not be an exception, teaching in a county with superior conditions, no matter which aspect of life is not too bad, and the treatment is naturally not low, the most important thing is that the body of the scholar is generally not strong enough, and it is difficult to persevere if there is not enough physical fitness to teach in a mountain village with difficult conditions.

In addition, because the population of many remote mountain villages is too small, there are only a dozen school-age children, it is obviously very wasteful to set up a school for these dozen students, if only one gentleman is sent, it is necessary to educate children of different ages at the same time, this pressure is not something that any gentleman can bear, one day to talk about the same content and tell different content, the pressure is naturally different, and because the children involved in basic education are too young, they can't be too far from home, so, The implementation of basic education in these remote mountainous areas is the most difficult thing to do, and it is a major problem that must be solved.

There are only a few ways that Li An can come up with, the first is to increase the remuneration of teaching staff in these areas, and use higher incomes to motivate some students to devote themselves to education in remote mountain villages.

The second is to concentrate as much as possible, and gather children from several villages that are not too far away to teach in one village, so as to increase the scale a little and reduce the waste of teachers.

There is also the possibility of appropriately reducing the time of education, the formation of a mobile school, this mobile school in several teaching points back and forth, a location teaching for five days, in this way, a month can popularize six teaching points, if it is three locations, then each teaching point can be held twice a month, increase the intensity of education.

The last solution is to move people from remote mountainous areas to live together, so that the problem of overly dispersed schoolchildren is well solved.

Among these methods, the simplest is to increase the income of teaching staff, but if there are too many people, this pressure can also be imagined, unless the power of merchants can relieve the financial pressure of the imperial court.

The most difficult way, naturally is the last way, forcibly let the people live together, just for the so-called school education, it is difficult to convince ordinary people, if it is really forced, it may cause more serious chaos, so it was just put forward by the doctors to shake their heads and veto, as for the simplest increase in the income of teaching staff, these doctors are more recognized, the increase is limited, it is unlikely to increase too much, in addition, Because the demand for teaching personnel in universal education is too great, a person with a little salary, that is a lot of money, if there are businessmen to help it is better, if there are no businessmen willing to fund, the pressure on the court is too great, so whether it can be successfully implemented mainly depends on how much support businessmen can provide, how much money the court can allocate funds.

As much as possible, the concentration of schoolchildren and the formation of rural mobile schools have been unanimously approved by the doctors, they all think that this idea is very good, popularize educational knowledge to learn some simple things, not for the sake of fame, so, there is no urgency, and there is no need to go to school every day, it is almost the same to be able to go to school for ten or five days a month, so it is quite appropriate to form a mobile school and teach in turn at several teaching points.

In addition, it is better to combine these two, first select a teaching point in several adjacent villages, use it as one of the circular teaching points, and then find such teaching points in other villages, these mobile schools, only need to arrive at these teaching points on time, and the location of these teaching points is naturally located in the geographical center of several villages, so that it can be more convenient for schoolchildren to go to school, so as not to run too far.

If a teaching point is set up in five villages, and a cycle is set up in five days, then a mobile school can radiate 30 villages, and the resource saving is still very large.

Of course, only these very remote, very backward mountainous areas need to be so, in many plain areas, even if it is a village, the population is a lot, and the distance between the villages is not very far, more than a dozen village schoolchildren can get together hundreds of thousands, which is enough to form a small school, not to mention the county, not to mention, it is easy to make a school reach the scale of more than 1,000 people, and the utilization rate of resources is still very high.

That is to say, in the county and state towns, the investment in education seems to be very large, but the efficiency is very high, while in the remote mountainous areas, it seems that the investment is very small, but the efficiency is not very high, and the waste is relatively large.

This is like the later generations of individual farmers were banned by the imperial court, the reason is to pollute the environment, these farmers will be very unconvinced, they will feel that the pollution of their pig raising is not big at all, compared with some stinky large farms, their pollution is negligible, so they feel very wronged.

But the imperial court considers the comprehensive benefit, is the average to each pig pollution of how big, not the overall pollution of the whole is not big, but the number of breeding is too small, a single pig pollution is too big, so the comprehensive benefit is too poor, so, naturally to be banned.

According to the principle of efficiency, the popularization of education in these remote mountain villages should also be banned, but education is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and it cannot be considered with interests, no matter how big the price is, it must be carried out unswervingly, even if the efficiency is very low, it cannot be implemented, since it is universal education, it is necessary not to let go of any corner, not to let go of any child, as long as it is the people of Datang, they must accept the education of Datang, and no child can be an exception.

In other words, the universal education mentioned by Ang Li has a certain degree of compulsion, which is only a welfare for ordinary children, and it is a welfare that must be accepted, especially in the years of basic education, it is necessary to participate in learning, and the larger professional schools in the back can let the children decide for themselves.

After a rigorous and long discussion, Ang Lee instilled all his ideas into these knowledgeable doctors, so that these sour Confucians had nothing to say, and had to support Ang Lee's decision, and most of the sour Confucians really felt that what Ang Lee said was reasonable, so that most people could learn some of the most basic common sense, which is indeed not a bad thing, it is absolutely good for the whole country, as long as these people don't go to the test for fame, in this way, it will not have too much impact on the elite class, This is a great thing to kill multiple birds with one stone, so why not promote it?

After convincing these doctors, Ang Lee asked these doctors to persuade their peers and spread the purpose and necessity of their own promotion and education, so that more people could recognize Ang Lee's decision.

As long as most of the doctoral assistants in the capital agree, then it is only natural to carry out the promotion of comprehensive universal education, and there will be no hindrance in this matter in the slightest, and as long as the leaders hold a few meetings, this policy can be finalized.

At the same time that the doctors of Guozixue promoted Li An's thoughts, Li An was not idle, he wanted to personally donate money to support a poor school, which was subordinate to the imperial court and under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but it did not need to spend a penny from the imperial court, and all the teaching expenses would be fully responsible for Li An, and the name of this school would also be decided by Li An, which was Ang Lee's prerogative.

Of course, it is impossible to call Ang Li Academy, it is very impolite to call the name directly in ancient society, and it must be used honorific, and Ang Lee feels that the honorific title of his name and official position is not very good, and his subordinates said a few in a row, and Ang Lee shook his head again and again, which was very disapproving of it.

"Li Shilang, the plaques of this school have been prepared, but the name of the school has not been determined for a long time, how can this be good, the craftsmen are waiting?"

One of the subordinates spoke.

Li An frowned and thought for a long time, and then said, "It's called the Transsin Academy." ”

"Transsonic Academy, this is ......"

The subordinate officials didn't react for a while, and asked suspiciously.

Li An said with a smile: "The so-called Transsonic Academy, is to wish the official's Wanli Transsion plan can be successfully completed, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, what is more important than Wanli Transsion, it is called Transsonic Academy, the plaque should be completed as soon as possible, and the school should open as soon as possible, by the way, have all the newly recruited gentlemen been recruited?" ”

"Li Shilang rest assured, everyone has been summoned, the first batch of a total of fifty people, young scholars, respected seniors, and middle-aged down-and-out scholars, all have passed the test, and there is no abuse of filling."

The subordinate spoke.

Li An nodded with satisfaction, and said: "You remember, although the Transsonic School is only a poor school, and it recruits poor schoolchildren from around the capital, but the education of the school must not be despised for this reason, gentlemen still have to teach well, and never allow the situation of corpse vegetarian meals to happen." ”

"Li Shilang, don't worry, his subordinates will come over and keep an eye on it, and nothing like this will happen."

The subordinate swore an oath.

However, Ang Lee feels that the best way to get teachers to do their best to educate children is to use incentives, which is the most effective way.

And the so-called incentive is to divide the class competition, to see who educates the children to achieve better grades, teach well to give a certain reward, and teach badly to give a certain punishment, to take such measures, will be able to greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of these teaching staff, so that they have a sense of urgency, so as to fight hard to teach, who wants to get rewarded and unwilling to be punished, the most important thing is to face can not pass.

"You go and tell these newly recruited gentlemen first, the Transsonic Academy will adopt a reward and punishment system, and the detailed system will come out soon, if they don't agree, they can leave at any time."

Li An said.

"Yes, Li Shilang, my subordinates will go and tell them."

The subordinate spoke.

This newly formed school, located in the south of the capital, not far from Li An's residence, is an abandoned mansion, here was originally a businessman's residence, but the businessman went to Luoyang to develop, and moved the whole family away, but the house is fixed, and it can't be moved at all, so it was sold, and Li An is very optimistic about this location, so he bought this house, such a large-scale house, as long as it is slightly repaired, and then expanded, it can accommodate thousands of schoolchildren, And even more.

Because there is a large courtyard at the back of this house, this courtyard can be built with four or five storey cement buildings, so that it can accommodate more children, as for the activities of students, there is a large vacant land outside the house, as long as Li An proposes to establish a school fully funded by himself, the court will allocate the land next to the school to Li An's school, it is also a logical thing.

After all, for the safety of teaching, the school still has to be closed for management, only in this way can the safety of the children be ensured, and this vacant land will also become a place for children's activities, and even, in the future, you can plant some dishes or something, so that the children can relax after they are tired of studying.

Li An proposed to comprehensively popularize basic education in Datang, and thought about all the details clearly, and this matter naturally quickly made the headlines of Datang Daily, so that the people of the entire capital soon knew about this matter and began to talk about it in the streets and alleys.

In a teahouse, several idle and bored businessmen discussed the matter of universal education while reading the Datang newspaper.

"Comprehensively popularize the school and let all children go to school, only Li Shilang dares to think like this and dare to do this!"

"Yes! There are many things in our Datang now, such as the glass wrench in my hand, aren't they all invented by Li Shilang, and it is nothing to promote the popularization school. ”

"Is it really necessary to let everyone go to school? I think it's a waste, a great waste. ”

"In my opinion! From now on, everyone is a scholar, we businessmen are also scholars, and Shinong businessmen are all scholars, so what else is there to score, anyway, everyone is a scholar. ”

"If they are really all scholars, then who will farm the land and who will open the teahouse in the future!"

The audience chatted, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse also came over.

"You can't forget to open a teahouse, and in the future, everyone will be a scholar, naturally the reader will farm the land, and the scholar will open a teahouse, does this need to be said?"

"Scholars farm the land, and scholars open teahouses, and it feels funny and funny when you think about it! They can pull down this face. ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse said with a smile.
