Chapter 284: Zhang Dai in the Imperial Capital 13
Zhang Dai's impression of Yu Qian Primary School is very good.
His original idea, according to some people, was that such a school was dedicated to teaching the children of some peddlers and pawns, writing and arithmetic, and some craftsmen.
In such a comparison, Zhang Dai was not as angry as those said, but very indifferent, in his opinion, this is simply the best education system in the world.
After a long time, Zhang Dai also found that if everyone in the world has read the books of sages and talents, it is not realistic for everyone to go to the imperial examination.
In fact, many commoner children have long been desperate to let their sons go to school, but knowing a few words is already great luck.
In Zhang Dai's opinion, it is perfect for a child like him to go to his own private school, and the children of these peddlers and pawns to go to this kind of school.
At this time, Zhang Dai did not understand what kind of happy education and quota system were used by European and American countries in later generations to imprison people, and formed those ideas that were deeply rooted in the minds of the people, but in essence, the ruling classes of the two countries were very keen to discover that education was in fact a means of crossing classes.
Therefore, unlike those other scholars who were dissatisfied with the fact that the Four Books and Five Classics were not taught here, Zhang Dai, who saw things more thoroughly, still liked the businessman or agricultural school opened by the elders.
"Odd and even unchanged, symbols look at the quadrant ......"
"The area of the outer circle and the inner circle are subtracted to find the ring, the sector area is multiplied by the central angle of the circle, and the area of the cylindrical side is the circumference of the bottom surface multiplied by the height ......"
On the day they arrived, just on the day of the exam, Zhang Dai entered from the main gate and found a team of students queuing, thinking that his identity was exposed.
But then it turned out that these children seemed to be living well, and although the school uniforms they wore were simple, they were very suitable if they were to be held by the standards of the peddlers' pawns, and to be honest, it would be the most terrible if they were to wear silk clothes specially worn by the students.
However, he soon discovered that these children around the age of ten had a very different complexion from the children of poor families in his cognition, and even small dolls in this era could not eat well, and they had to work to support themselves from a few years old, so it was strange that they could look good.
Of course, he naturally thought that these were the children of the wealthy families in the imperial capital.
"Even if the lotus root remains the same, the rich and good-looking villagers?"
"The machine becomes the same, and the husband looks good?"
Zhang Dai has been to many places, and he is not sure whether he has misunderstood the poem that the nervous child is reading because of the dialect problem, but such poems seem to be interpreted differently.
A young student with short hair looked at it, waved his hand, and shouted: "Don't make noise in the monthly exam, say you, the exam is serious!" ”
Under his command, the students lined up into the classrooms and began their exams.
Zhang Dai watched from the side, as if he felt very wrong, and the young man said: "Today is the day of the monthly exam, as long as the exam starts." ”
"Oh, what's the test?"
In fact, on this earth, the Celestial Empire, that is, the big families in Jiangnan, have special means to study how to take the imperial examination.
As a means of greatly boosting GDP, the examination economy was very popular in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, these people went even more too far under the rule of the elders, and the Mr. of the organization has studied the tricks of the Shen Lun Xing test almost.
As a big family, the Zhang Dai family is even more excessive, and even has a list of provincial scholars and examiners over the years, their preferences and literary styles are also under study.
"It's the monthly exam."
Zhang Dai knows that one thing about the imperial capital's exam is very fair, that is, something that has been thoroughly studied, that is, the argument test has the least impact on the examiner's personal situation, that is to say, whoever is the examiner is almost the same, the test is a multiple-choice question, you choose A, you can't choose B, and there is only one answer in the end.
Although the Celestial Empire scholars have a strong rote memorization ability, the test test is a learned generalist, which is difficult for many people, after all, many people can't afford books.
Fortunately, although there are as many as 100 books sold by the elders, they are not unbearable, and although the various geography and historical knowledge points in them are scattered, they are the direction for people to study.
As for the arguments, it was even more clear at the beginning that many scholars could not even write official documents, and would only pretend to be the master, and it was natural that the governance would be corrupt.
This thing is also very accurate, which Zhang Dai admitted.
Historically, the Fushe and the Donglin Party cheated in the imperial examination for profit, which was more of a kind of sharing of spoils and doing bad things together with everyone, and then they trusted each other and shared benefits.
In the West, all kinds of institutions such as the Skull and Bones Society are actually more murderous, and there are even legends that some politicians in order to get the support of the gold owner, the gold owner will ask you to fly to a certain "Lori Island" before confirming that he supports you, and the Lori on the island lets you use it at will, but the criminal process is naturally under the watchful eye of the gold owner, and from then on, the gold owner lets you go east and you dare not go west, which is naturally very powerful.
Regarding the judging work of the imperial capital, Zhang Dai knows that it has always been difficult to reach out, which is very uncomfortable, but it is naturally very exciting to be able to take a closer look at the judging papers.
However, he noticed that the students in the school were actually men and women in and out of the team, although he had already known that the defense of men and women in the imperial capital had been reduced to the lowest in history, you know, the Ming Dynasty is known as the so-called dynasty with the most women, and its historical reasons are naturally diverse, several times the number of previous dynasties, first of all, in terms of ideology, the Ming Dynasty followed Cheng Zhu Lixue, and paid attention to your human desires, kept my human desires, and was strict with others, and treated yourself leniently.
The scholars of the Ming Dynasty liked to demand others with high standards of sages and themselves with the lowest level, which blocked the possibility of any woman remarrying.
Secondly, there are economic reasons.
The bottom is completely law-of-jungle, which makes the clan rise, and the clan is basically an economic purpose group, and a policy has completely driven the Ming women into the abyss.
This is the festival-keeping, martyrdom women can get a chastity archway, this thing is of course not only to look at the scenery, but also an opportunity to take the opportunity to get tax exemption.
So it will appear, after the death of the woman, the family property is naturally taken by the clan to do the ancestral property, and the woman, the better clan will be half raised, take the opportunity to save enough years to get the chastity archway, with a woman's second half of life in exchange for the archway.
The other is to directly let you "be killed", and martyrdom is naturally even more beneficial.
This is an absolute evil.
In this social climate, it is not uncommon for a young girl who is talking to a strange man to be killed by her father.
Although Europe is not much better in this era, it is not a good choice to be worse than bad.
Seeing that there were men and women walking in mixed teams, Zhang Dai remembered that there were men and women in this so-called school, and even he carefully recalled that the imperial examination in the imperial capital was specially marked on the information that women were welcome to take the exam!
originally thought that this was a nondescript and lustful thing after the mud legs turned over, but he didn't expect that the imperial capital really preached the equality of men and women, and women can hold up half the sky!
Of course, what he immediately thought of was a woman in history who brought disaster to the country and the people, isn't this a chaotic government!
"These people really do anything for their own insatiable desires!"
I heard earlier that these elders occupied the palace, and the palace maids inside were divided, but they were also said to be like Dong Zhuo was alive, An Lushan was reborn, and when I saw it today, it was even more so.
However, Zhang Dai did not show it, today he reluctantly pretended to be a master's account room, and came to see how the school in the imperial capital was arranged, in fact, the purpose of the school for the children of Zhejiang merchants was to teach his own sons or servants to have children, and he did not plan to recruit girls.
The exam started quickly, and everyone sent out several test papers, which were not small, Zhang Dai suddenly felt a move in his heart, wanting to see what the test was.
After begging for a few extra papers, Zhang Dai looked at the words "Gonghe 3 Imperial Capital Primary School Monthly Examination Joint Examination", there are three test papers, one is Chinese, the second is mathematics, and the third is nature.
At the beginning of the Chinese test paper, there are a lot of blanks, some words and new words that are similar to the letters of those Western red-haired people, and then there are all kinds of words and fill in the blanks and find mistakes.
Mathematics is how many arithmetic problems, what "Xiao Ming went to buy fruits, bought 1 catty of apples, 3 catties of bananas, and asked Xiao Ming how old he ......" and other questions, and naturally in it, there are also various problems, although simple, but it is not something that Zhang Dai can do by himself.
He frowned, this is what he wants to learn, and it really has nothing to do with the study of saints.
Although he knew this, he was barely supported, looking at the appearance of those students, he didn't say much, as for the carbon pens they use in China, it is not uncommon, there are always people at the bottom who need carbon pens, and splashing ink is a very luxurious thing, which is also in line with Zhang Dai's mind, the noble children study private schools, and the poor children study agriculture and engineering.
The classroom is very simple, but the world map is the standard configuration of the imperial capital, and the elders try their best to hope that the common people will open their eyes to the world, and the children will naturally not let go.
However, when I left the classroom, there were a lot of stickers on the walls.
"Yuan Longping, a generation of agricultural scientists in my Celestial Dynasty, with the name of the Great Druid, has been rooted in agriculture all his life, and has created countless hybrid rice living people, and thousands of Buddhas have ......"
"Zhang Zhaozhong, my Celestial Dynasty generation of warlords, with the chrysanthemum as the number, the best of his life is the battle of thaumaturgy, comparable to Zhang Yi and Su Qin, with the weapon of cause and effect between the tongue to destroy countless countries."
……
There are all kinds of people below, but they are all people that Zhang Dai doesn't know, and they haven't heard of their various exploits, but they vaguely understand that they are hanging these people here in the hope that these students will follow these predecessors and become some kind of agronomists.
Zhang Dai felt that it was wrong, even if it was this kind of school, but since he was literate and literate, at least he should hang the portraits of Confucius and several sages.
Wrong! Isn't this going to be in line with these agronomists and warlords, who should be higher than them?
It should be like official learning, to give a statue of Confucius, what 72 sages, what holy teachers, are indispensable.
But it doesn't seem to be good for this majesty.
However, the speed of the exam is still very fast, and it is not so simple for those students to complete three papers in two hours, write those answers well, and fill out the answer sheets.
This month's exam is very important, even the children who should be very lively are silent one by one.
Zhang Dai felt that it didn't matter, because the children of his family were also this virtue when they were almost studying.
After the exam, those papers were collected, eye-catching, and sealed, but they were done at a level similar to the imperial examination, which also made Zhang Dai's eyes shine, this is almost a small imperial examination.
In the private school when I was in my hometown, the exam was very arbitrary, and Mr. would sometimes give this year's imperial examination questions, so that you could try to do it, and if you didn't make sense of bullshit in the middle of the writing, Mr. saw it when he was on patrol, and it was also the right thing to scold directly.
Such a so-called monthly exam is also so formal, which Zhang Dai couldn't imagine.
The exam was fast, but the papers were sent to a room where a group of young students were waiting, and the exam room started the next class as fast as possible, and everything was almost not delayed.
Zhang Dai noticed this time that many of the teachers were also young women, which made him even more surprised.
He pointed to the students who were judging the papers and said, "This ......."
"They are all senior students, so it is actually very fast for them to judge the papers."
The young male teacher did not shy away from it, this learning task is very heavy, and all kinds of teacher pressure are not imaginable in later generations.
"Oh? The senior students are just afraid that they will be much more profound. ”
Zhang Dai is very interested in these.
"Yes, those who study are different, they study physics, chemistry, and some study civil servants."
"Civil servants?"
"Yes, the children who are admitted to the examination are not the same, after finishing middle school, they can take the civil service examination, that is, the imperial examination, and some can go to university, that is all one step at a time."
Entering the legendary university, that is the real person from the dragon, and the elders are teaching, which is envied to death.
"It's not ...... Isn't it possible to take the exam only if you are talented? ”
"Before, it was just a fool, let them not fight against the central government, Xiucai is full of moral articles, and he is vicious in his bones, and the elders naturally trust me more and wait for me to cultivate by themselves!"
Guo Jiefang's indescribable pride, he is different from others, he is the "own person" taught by the elders himself, and he has long regarded himself as a slave who is more loyal than the children of the family, of course, people do not accept it, in essence, he is a grade director's messenger, of course, Guo Jiefang also studies weekdays, hoping to take the civil service exam in the future, or be admitted to the university, that day will be different.
Zhang Dai's hands and feet were cold, and he said: "You mean to say that if you learn from this school, you can take the civil service exam!" ”
"yes."
