Chapter 374: A New Discipline

Hearing Zhang Nan say that the college entrance examination and the imperial examination system are separated, Wang Mozhi's heart immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because the family sent talents to the royal family, most of them still had to take the route of the imperial examination, if Zhang Nan wanted to find another way to find an official election system, then Wang Mozhi would definitely not agree, not only Wang Mozhi, but even the entire family would not agree, after all, this involves their fundamental interests.

"In that case, the emperor and the minister also seconded it." Wang Mozhi arched his hand at Li Er and said.

Li Er squinted his eyes and looked at Wang Mozhi, what was Wang Mozhi thinking in his heart, how could Li Er not be clear? However, even if Wang Mozhi disagrees, Li Er will still enforce the academy.

"Your Majesty, since the affairs of the academy have been established, who should the gentleman of this academy find to teach?" Kong Yingda stood up and said.

When Li Eryi heard Kong Yingda say this, he also thought about it in his heart, yes, since the academy has opened its doors to recruit students, where did this gentleman come from? It's okay to learn, as long as you are literate and understand etiquette, you can teach children, but this literacy alone is not enough.

Kong Yingda didn't mean anything else when he stood up, since Momen could get a Heavenly Ministry of Works, then why couldn't they Confucians get a college job? As the grandson of Confucius, Kong Yingda is not only famous, but also has many protégés. In this way, not only can the power of Confucianism be strengthened, but also the prestige of Confucianism among the people.

Li Er pinched his chin, and thought in his heart, although Li Er didn't want to directly give all the teaching work in the academy to Kong Yingda's protégé, but it seemed that it would not work if he didn't do it, after all, there were not so many people on Li Er.

"Master Kong, don't be so anxious, this gentleman's work is not something that can be done if you want to, I think, a person should be able to teach and educate people, not only to teach students, but also to teachers, a teacher, if there is no teacher morality, then how can you teach good students?" Zhang Nan said with a smile, Zhang Nan will not give all the work of Mr. Academy to Kong Yingda, of course, they still have to teach the first subject of Chinese, but other courses are not good.

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Kong Yingda thought that Zhang Nan was mocking herself, so she retorted: "Lord Zhang, is this saying that the old man's protégés have no teacher ethics and are not enough to teach and educate people?" ”

"No, no, no, I didn't say that, it's just that the teachers of this academy have to pass the assessment before they can take up their posts, not Master Kong, you said that whoever you want to teach can teach, after all, the position of this principal is not yours of Lord Kong, but the emperor." Could it be that Master Kong wants to compete with the Emperor Taishang for the position of principal? Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Kong Yingda immediately defended: "Naturally not, but the old man agrees with what you say, you say the assessment, then the assessment is enough, the old man has confidence." ”

"Well, but Master Kong, your protégé, it is estimated that he can only teach one language." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Kong Yingda was puzzled.

"Master Kong, don't you think that this newly established Royal Academy is just a simple way to learn something." Zhang Nan pretended to be surprised and said.

"Don't learn the words of the saints? So what to learn? Do you want to learn the doctrine that you have traversed? By the way, until now, the old man doesn't know if you have any ideas for crossing a door. Kong Yingda glanced at Zhang Nan.

Indeed, Zhang Nan has been in Datang for so long, and he has always claimed that he is the heir of the traversing family, and even accepted apprentices, but until now there is no systematic doctrine to come out.

"Regarding the doctrine of crossing the first door, we will leave aside for the time being, and we will only round the course offered by this academy today." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"The old man listened."

"This newly established Royal Academy, unlike other academies, is not just a simple study of scriptures." Zhang Nan said.

The teaching content of the Tang Dynasty's official schools was mainly Confucian classics and historical books, which were divided into the so-called "Great Classics", "Middle Classics" and "Small Classics" according to their difficulty and weight. "The Book of Rites" and "Zuo Chuan" are the great scriptures; "The Book of Songs", "Zhou Li" and "Rites" are the middle classics; "I Ching", "Book of Changes", "Ram Biography" and "Hub Liang Biography" are minor classics. There is a distinction between "passing through the Second Classics", "Passing the Third Classics" and "Passing the Five Classics".

The so-called two classics must be able to learn one major, one minor two classics, or two middle classics; Those who pass through the three classics should each pass one meridian for the large, medium, and small ones; The major scriptures of the five classics are all passed, and the medium and small scriptures can be passed separately. In addition, all students must be able to understand both the Book of Filial Piety and the Analects.

These things are too complicated, and Zhang Nan feels that there is no need to learn so many Confucian classics, and he can take a long-term view.

"In addition to Mongolian studies, after the primary school, the college will teach Chinese, mathematics two, and junior high school will teach six subjects: Chinese, mathematics, history, geography, chemistry, and physics. In high school, it is divided into arts and sciences, history and geography are classified as liberal arts, chemistry and physics are classified as science, and Chinese and mathematics are general education courses, and both arts and sciences must be studied. The content taught will be increased in order according to the grade level. Zhang Nan smiled, Zhang Nan thought very simply, since God let him come to Datang, then the students of Datang should not think about it.

Kong Yingda didn't know what Zhang Nan said about chemistry and physics, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he had to pick a subject that he felt he could talk about and said, "What is this language?" ”

"Mr. Confucius's question is a good question, then I will explain to Mr. Confucius, the word language, just look at the literal, the language of "language", which means "one's own and others' speech", in layman's terms, is the language you use when speaking, "wen" means "words", "written speech". The meaning of the word "language" together is the speech and writing of oneself and others. Zhang Nan said.

Isn't that learning the words of the saints? Kong Yingda rolled her eyes in her heart and said.

"This is a job that cannot be completed by non-Confucian disciples." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

Kong Yingda didn't speak, but when he heard Zhang Nan say this, Kong Yingda's heart was still quite happy, so he arched his hand at Zhang Nan.

"Well, I understand this language, this math is not arithmetic?" Li Er sat on the dragon chair and asked.

"That's right, this arithmetic is closely related to our lives, so this course is also set up to cultivate students' logical thinking and analytical skills." Although Zhang Nan is a scumbag of mathematics, Zhang Nan also knows that mathematics is not as useless as it seems, and the branch of mathematics involves many things, but what Zhang Nan can do is to lead Datang into the door, as for how far to go, it depends on the will of God.
