Chapter 590: Educational Reform

Zhao Xin signed such a document, and then rang the bell to let the secretary in, the secretariat did not rest, but also waited for this document, they also knew the importance of this document, after confirming that it was Zhao Xin personally signed, they immediately took the document out.

Watching the secretaries leave, Zhao Xin knew that the secretaries would hand over this document to various executive departments in the shortest possible time, and then start a new plan in the entire Dinghai Navy.

Zhao Xin knew that from the moment he signed this order, it was likely that an extremely fierce conflict would occur, which was a collision of ideas and a collision of the times, and in this collision, there would inevitably be losers, and these losers were those stubborn old masters.

However, Zhao Xin does not regret that the important role of education is not just talking, it is something that has been proven by later generations after countless histories.

Learning is still learning, but knowledge is not the kind of Confucian classics, but has become something that the navy needs, and this thing is different from the previous one.

After the signing of this document, knowledge is not only knowledge itself, but also a kind of power, the power of knowledge to change fate, as long as you master knowledge, you will change fate, and this knowledge can really make him get rid of poverty and become rich.

Before that, there was also knowledge to change fate, learn some Confucian classics, take the road of the imperial examination, and also change the fate, even if it is just an ordinary peasant, as long as he can pass the imperial examination, he can become an official, and even become a high-ranking official in the imperial court all the way.

Even if it is the Northern Song Dynasty, which has the most prosperous literary name, it is completely from the lowest level of the peasant family, not that there are none, but there are very few.

In the absence of advanced printing, books were basically copied, and good paper was also expensive, and the price of books was quite expensive.

Reading and taking the imperial examination, not only books, but also the four books and five classics must always be there, and there are some poems and poems, and some of the experiences of the predecessors of the imperial examination.

A peasant who comes from a completely poor background simply cannot support the consumption of such a study, unless someone helps himself.

That is to say, although the imperial examination has opened up a mouth, from the bottom to the top, but this road, the opening is not wide, 3 years of dozens of jinshi, this is already the limit, sometimes, for some reason, the imperial examination has not been held for several years also abound.

Before there is no Zhongjinshi, there is no talk of changing fate, because there is no major change in identity, even if it is to lift people, it is also included, how many can be every other year, this proportion is far less than the number of beckoning people in later generations, Tsinghua University and Peking University.

These two universities are the top in China in the future, and in every place, only the top talents can go to it, but the two universities together, the annual enrollment plan will exceed 6,000, plus others, the number of students will be about 7,000 per year.

Not to mention the comparability of the two eras, the road of the imperial examination is far more difficult than later generations think, and talent is needed, which is certain, only those with outstanding talent can be officials, but talent is only a part.

Family, funds, teachers, and many other reasons, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, where there were more imperial examinations, there were very few real grassroots officials, so there was similar propaganda, and there was Yan Ruyu in the book, and there was a golden house in the book.

Zhao Xin knows that some of them have been publicized as models of low-level officials, Hai Rui is one, Wang Gongchen is one, Hai Rui is just his father died early, but there are still dozens of acres of land in the family, Wang Gongchen does not have too many records, and he only said that his family was poor and lost his father at an early age, but he did not say his background.

There is history to be studied, perhaps among the talents, there is a certain proportion of the lowest level, when it comes to lifting people, there are a lot less, and those who really embark on the Jinshi, the history of the thousand-year-old imperial examination, in addition to propaganda, there are really not many.

In the 21st century, even from the 20th century onwards, the mainstream education in the whole world is completely different from the imperial examination in the feudal era.

Under this educational condition, these students are no longer walking on a single-plank bridge, but a fixed, completely similar selection process.

In the education of primary and secondary schools, lay a solid foundation, so that some basic knowledge related to the industry, are involved and learned, through 12 years of study, so that these students have mastered the knowledge, and mastered the method of learning, and the biggest selection is at this level.

In basic education, the best of the best, the final classification, into different colleges and universities, to the university education is the real sub-major, if not admitted to the university, in the primary and junior high school of basic education, can also be in the work, to learn and improve.

Knowledge changes fate, in this era, can appear, many people who do not understand a certain knowledge, after a certain amount of study, mastered the basic knowledge and learning skills, no longer from scratch, they can use the method of learning, through lectures, through reading some popular science books and professional books, master this technology, and finally succeed in getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

This is a collision of different ideas, and the imperial examination is not bad, and this imperial examination system has its own unique usefulness and advanced nature for a long time.

After China had the imperial examination, it gave the people at the bottom a way up, no matter how narrow this road is, but it is finally a road, from penniless to promoted and rich, with theoretical possibilities, in this regard, it is more sound than the European system.

For Zhao Xin, this road is too slow, what he asks for is rapid development, what he asks for is halfway overtaking, waiting for the imperial examination, training dozens of people every year, or even hundreds of people, for the large-scale production of the Dinghai Navy, it is a drop in the bucket, only the combination of universal education and elite education in later generations is the real appropriate method, because he is not to pick out the top one, but large-scale training, such talents, can be filled into the needs of the Dinghai.

Zhao Xin believes that as long as he is given 10 years of hard work, after 10 years, these students who have been trained by the Dinghai system will become a very developed city after they have laid a strong theoretical foundation.

It will be much better than now, maybe in terms of talent, these students, students who have been trained for 10 years, are not as talented as Niu Dali, Niu Dali, who may take hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years to be born masters, their ability is enough to change an industry, or even a system development path.

Zhao Xin needs such a master very much, but unfortunately he also knows that masters are not cultivated, and cultivation cannot create masters, so it would be good if he could cultivate qualified talents at most.

After 10 years of investment, countless financial and material resources have been invested, and the final training is definitely qualified talents.

It's not that Niu Dali is not strong, he is already very strong, in the past few decades, relying on talent, relying on groping, to the level of a blacksmith, after Zhao Xin appeared, there was a magical effect.

But Niu Dali's foundation is not good, the current talent and inspiration are on the ferroalloy, to be exact, it should be on the alloy with more iron, and the others are ignorant.

Once it is less, for example, it contains less iron, mainly on the alloys of other materials, it will not play a role, in fact, similar to the characteristics of metals, some characteristics of alloys, many things are the same, and the summary of the card system, even if it is lucky, you can also hit some, but it is not good, not only is there no inspiration, but there will be mistakes.

These students are the backbone of the future, and with them, the development of the Navy will definitely be given wings.

This is the difference in time, for Zhao Xin, if he doesn't cross, holding the card system, flexibly applying everything in the card system, not to say that it is to unlock the card system, it is said that with the help of the card system's replication and synthesis function, to solve some high-tech products, there is still not much of a problem.

Under the scientific and technological environment of the 21st century, the power of such a system is also completely different, the same is Zhao Xin, the same card system, why there is such a big difference, the reason is very simple, the difference in the social system, as well as the difference in the degree of civilization of the whole society, and finally under the same advanced card system, the final result is also different.

The strength of one person, compared with the whole society, and the entire scientific research force, three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, this sentence is a bit exaggerated, but a hundred, a thousand basic researchers, under the premise that the development of science and technology is not high, more than one master, this is also normal.

When this new group of students with solid roots grows up, their final burst of strength is far higher than the current one.

At that time, Zhao Xin only needs to review the direction of development every year, for example, the funding provided for new projects, for example, some research problems in basic science, these will be fine, and now, when the basic mountain opens a certain topic, you have to keep an eye on it, and nothing else can be done

For example, in the glass and the public relations of sea vessels, these are all under Zhao Xin's personal care, under his understanding and efforts, which are opened and achieved results.

In the future, the division of science and technology will become more and more subtle, and the depth of research will become higher and higher, after all, Zhao Xin is a liberal arts student, a study of history, once the depth of this research exceeds the degree of Zhao Xin's mastery, when the time comes, science and technology will form a stagnation, and then there will be a big problem.

It's a pity that this time is a little longer, for Dingjun, to say less, it takes 5 years, through five years of systematic learning, some of the more talented will stand out in some projects, become some project researchers, really to systematize, regularization, at least 10 years.

10 years, for a person, really can't be regarded as a very short time, but for a country, an extraordinary period, 10 years, for an emerging country, may not be able to completely establish an industrial system, but 10 years, but can make that little child, grow into an adult, can really shoulder his destiny.

Zhao Xin understands all this, and he also knows that as long as the transformation is carried out in accordance with Germany's current level of development, there is no need to tighten the belt at all.

Dingjun has enough profits, not to mention Dinghai currency, it is almost a money-grabbing thing, and his profits may not be much less than credit currency and paper currency.

A profit point of dozens or hundreds of times is definitely a huge profit.

If Zhao Xin really wants to roll wool, do nothing else, simply mass production of stainless steel, although its technical difficulty is a little greater, it is not impossible to produce, plus some stamping technology, it is not impossible to get a simpler currency.

It's just that there is no point in that, Zhao Xin used stainless steel, not to let him depreciate and collect it, but to let him help the Northern Song Dynasty and form a unique system, this system, has a complete economic environment.

Although the Dinghai Navy was involved in the steel field of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was only involved at the level of the Privy Council, and such an intervention was relatively high, and it was not easy to have an impact on the below.

Many years of tradition, the general fine iron, can only be smelted occasionally by the blacksmith to get, and then is not the meteorite in the sky, the scarcity is expensive, plus the relationship of consumption, the best fine iron is a divine weapon, are many times more expensive than iron, such a cognition, so that Dinghai currency naturally has a certain value of precious metal currency, this is a key reason for the seamless integration of Dinghai currency into the Northern Song Dynasty.

Ordinary copper coins are very recognized by the people, but if they are really made out to be five or ten, they are purely looted, and not many people recognize them.

The natural value is only one aspect, and the other reason is that the Northern Song Dynasty itself is in a money shortage, and even paper currencies such as Jiaozi have come out, so that they are valuable, recognized by everyone, and not easy to imitate, and there are highly recognizable things, which soon circulated in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The addition of Dinghai coins, several times more than ordinary copper coins, but also to a certain extent, to promote the development of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, those economic officials in the center, such as Ye Qingchen, they may not know, monetary tightening or inflation such a theory, but when Dinghai coins into the circulation field, in essence, is for the Northern Song Dynasty has a stabilizing effect, this, is quite obvious, they still welcome the access of Dinghai currency.

In addition to Dinghai currency, the income of other factories is also very high, in this case, Dingjun has this foundation, so too much investment in education, even a little waste, is acceptable, this series, have promoted the entire education reform, and contributed to Zhao Xin to sign this document.
