"The so-called five-year plan for education is also very simple, in the first year, we first carried out a pilot project in Chang'an City, recruiting school-age students to enroll, and the tuition fee was fully borne by the state, and in the second year, on the basis of the first year, we expanded enrollment and faced the whole country. If the first or second year of the academy is running well, then it can be promoted to the whole country, and as for the location, we will discuss it again. In the fourth and fifth years, it is necessary to ensure that the first batch of enrolled children successfully graduate from primary school and successfully pass the primary school entrance examination. Zhang Nan said with a smile.

The exam that Zhang Nan hated in later generations, Zhang Nan decided to double it back and bring it back to the Tang Dynasty, of course, there were still imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty.

"This, dare to ask Lord Zhang, what is the purpose of this?" Kong Yingda was a little puzzled.

"As the saying goes, there is no end to learning from a cliff, what we cultivate is not only children who can read and write, we want compound talents, and there are many talents." Zhang Nan proposed two new words, and this time Li Er couldn't understand it.

"Qingquan, don't say it so hard, say something simple and easy to understand, everyone can understand." Li Er's words won the hearts of the ministers present, after all, Zhang Nan's professional vocabulary that popped up from time to time made this group of officials feel like a mountain cannon.

"Well, well, the so-called compound talent is a person who has a certain ability in all aspects and can excel in a specific aspect. One specialization and multiple talents means that the students or in-service personnel trained by the school must not only have professional knowledge, but also have the ability to adapt to the multi-faceted work of the society. Can you understand what I mean? Zhang Nan asked.

Everyone nodded in confusion.

"What is the difference between these two types of talents?" Li Er asked with a frown.

The biggest difference between compound talents and multi-functional talents is that they are "specialized", a multi-functional talent is an outstanding top talent in a certain field, and at the same time has a considerable degree of attainment in other fields, while compound talents are all-round development, the overall quality is very high, although it is not particularly top-notch, but the ability to adapt is strong, and can be competent in many aspects of work. But the two have a considerable degree of overlap, and they are both very good talents. Let's just say that, the adults present are compound talents, no matter what kind of official position the emperor gave you, you can also complete it perfectly, such as the scientific researchers of the Ministry of Heavenly Engineering, they are a specialized and multi-talented, because some of their professional things others can't do. Zhang Nan explained.

As soon as Zhang Nan said this, everyone looked like they suddenly realized.

"In this way, these two talents are really indispensable." Li Er said thoughtfully.

"That's nature, Your Majesty, what is Datang lacking the most now? Talent! Now the adults who can stand here, as long as they can use people, but like the county prefects in various places, isn't it that simple, if there is a natural disaster in the place under their jurisdiction, they must come up with a set of practical plans for the first time, if they don't even have some basic knowledge reserves, then what is there to talk about governing the people? Zhang Nan said.

"Qingquan's words are reasonable, old man, I still remember that when it rained a few years ago, the county order in one place only knew to notify and report to the court for assistance, and did not even do simple prevention and control work, which is really surprising." Fang Xuanling stood up and said.

"And this kind of thing?" Zhang Nan also echoed.

"Yes, it is a disaster for the people that such people can also become the officials of one of the parents." Fang Xuanling said regretfully.

"But when this academy is established, it will be good, because what this academy gives to the children is not only those in the books, but also to teach them to be human beings and teach them to do things." Zhang Nan said.

"Your Majesty, the minister deeply agrees with what Qingquan said. You can't read dead books when you read books, otherwise you won't become a person who doesn't eat minced meat. Kong Yingda also stood up and said.

Although the old man Kong Yingda is sometimes quite annoying, in the face of great rights and wrongs, this old man is still very good at standing in line.

"That's right, the emperor, the minister also thinks so, let the children of the poor people read books, recognize the words, let them miss the emperor's grace, and can also open the wisdom, the minister thinks that this move is very good, and the minister reconsiders." Cui Shao also stood up for Zhang Nan at this time, after all, he was his own family.

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

"Reconsideration."

All the ministers stood up and said, now what Zhang Nan proposed is only about the enlightenment of the Mengxue stage, so the people of the family are also happy to be good people, after all, they don't know Zhang Nan's follow-up plan, but this is okay, Zhang Nan is also happy to be idle, so that there will be no resistance to the establishment of the academy on the court, and by the time those people react, the academy has already sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in all parts of the Tang Dynasty.

"Okay, I have such a sensible courtier, why don't I worry about the Tang Dynasty." Li Er also said enthusiastically at this time.

"But Qingquan, I don't know something, what does this so-called junior high school exam mean?" Li Er asked.

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, this small junior high school exam is a separate examination of the academy, through five years of primary school study, there will be a big exam, the exam-passing person will go to the junior high school of the academy to continue studying, after three years of junior high school study, there will be a big exam, called the high school entrance examination, the examination will enter the high school of the academy to continue further study, and finally after three years of study, that is, the final exam, the college entrance examination, the person who passes the exam will enter the university to study, of course, we can pick a time to talk about the problems of this university." ”

"What is the relationship between this college entrance examination and the imperial examination?" Wang Mozhi frowned and said, Wang Mozhi doesn't care about anything else, as long as it doesn't involve the interests of the family.

"It doesn't matter, the two are separate, the imperial examination is for the selection of officials, and the college entrance examination is for the selection of talents." Zhang Nan said with a slight smile.

Zhang Nan actually thought very clearly, the disadvantages of the imperial examination system are obvious, not to mention that the people of the family control the learning resources of the entire upper class, just the things of the imperial examination, Zhang Nan feels that it has nothing to do with being an official, so Zhang Nan wants to cultivate a group of compound talents, so as to slowly replace the position of the children of the family in the court.

When comparing the officials of those families with those trained by the university, Zhang Nan believes that the result must be obvious. In the end, the talents trained by the university will certainly slowly replace those who have been selected for the imperial examination.

And Zhang Nan will not kill all the people of the family with a stick, as long as it is an individual, he has the right to learn, as long as he can graduate from the university smoothly, no matter what his identity is, he should have a chance to be an official, after all, talents are rare.
