Xia Hongsheng, Yan Xiangshi, Gai Wenda, and Yu Zhining, together with a few people from Letai, walked through the corridor outside, and looked inside through the glass window from time to time. Or maybe it's walking into a big classroom and going around and around.

"Teaching children to sit together is also a way to check their character." Walking through a window in the corridor, Yan Xiangshi smiled and said to the others: "If he is trustworthy, he will never peek at others." And if he is upright, he will not be seen by others. ”

"Yes, it's just that the topic is also novel and tight." Yu Zhining said: "I haven't even seen the question on the old man, but I'm afraid that most students can't answer it." ”

Xia Hongsheng explained: "When you review it, it will naturally be looser. However, these questions do not test their knowledge of the scriptures, but their ability to think about problems and see things from different perspectives, which is especially important for Gewu. ”

"I see, among these students, it will not be easy for them to stay three or four out of ten." Gavenda shook her head regretfully.

Xia Hongsheng looked at the students inside through the window, they all frowned, their faces were serious, and it seemed that they were also suffering.

In fact, Xia Hongsheng's topics have nothing to do with the scriptures that these students come into contact with, and the only knowledge they learn on weekdays that can come in handy is arithmetic and some strategic knowledge.

There is not much time for the exam, only one hour, so these candidates are doubly nervous.

An hour is too fast, and for those exam gates, it is almost a blink of an eye. The invigilator didn't leave any affection, and as soon as the time came, he immediately accepted it, and he didn't let him write a word.

Xia Hongsheng originally adhered to the wide entry and strict exit, so he would not deliberately lower the pass rate when grading, and would also relax appropriately.

When they came out of the examination room, the students were not immediately kicked out of the academy, but were allowed to visit everywhere. And those who visited the academy no longer felt that the exam questions were harsh. After all, for such a college, it is inevitable and normal that the threshold is high. If it's easy to get in, that's not normal.

Like at the beginning of the military academy, Jingyang Academy also faced the problem of insufficient lecturers. Therefore, to review the test papers, Xia Hongsheng had to temporarily borrow the initial batch of instructors from the military academy to help with correction. Under the influence of Xia Hongsheng, they have changed a lot. After passing the exam, the approximate number of students enrolled is estimated to be about 100, plus it is estimated that some children will be sent by those noble families in Chang'an, and together, this first batch of students is only about 200 people. Because there are only more than 900 people who signed up this time.

Again, this is the result of a whole year of publicity.

However, Xia Hongsheng also knew that for a new, unfamous, and scripture-based academy, it was already very good to receive more than 200 people in the first year.

"This is the first year, and the academy has no name yet, and no one can see what the academy teaches is like. It is normal that there are fewer people. It seemed that Xia Hongsheng was unhappy when he saw that there were few people, so Yan Xiangshi said to Xia Hongsheng: "It is already good to have more than 200 people enrolled in the first year." At that time, the elder brother opened a academy in Luanzhou, and there were only about 100 people in the name of the elder brother. At the beginning of that year, the saint was only 3,000 disciples. But there is no need to worry about this, and there will be more people in the future. ”

"Yes, Jingshi doesn't have to be sad about this." Gavinda also said.

Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said, "I'm not minding the number of people, thank you gentlemen!" I'm just thinking about what kind of homework to give to this first group of people. ”

"Oh? Is there a conclusive conclusion? Letai asked.

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "Yes." All! The first batch of these people, everything has to be learned! Moreover, I will ask them what they mean, and then put all of them who are willing into one academy under Jingyang Academy! ”

After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, everyone didn't understand very well, and asked: "Since students are studying, the schoolwork of the academy should be learned by themselves." What is a college under Jingyang Academy? ”

"Jingyang Academy has a Normal College!" Xia Hongsheng's smile was meaningful.

"Teachers' College?" Everyone was stunned.

Xia Hongsheng smiled, stretched out his finger to take up his spit, and wrote the word "teacher" on the ground.

"Teacher?" Yan Xiangshi looked down at the two words written by Xia Hongsheng, and said: "If I am not mistaken, the combination of these two words should be from the "Yangtze Fayan" compiled by Yangxiong in the Han Dynasty. Whether? ”

Gavinda nodded, "Yes, that's where it comes from." "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Zhao Yi" also has a cloud: Jun learns to become a teacher, and the gentleman returns to admire. And Yiyun in "Wenxin Carving Dragon: A Brief Commentary on Talents": Like a good book, Normal Qu Song. It means that Sima Xiangru learned to write, so he took Qu Yuan and Song Yu as teachers - this is the meaning of learning from examples. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, that's it." My so-called 'teacher' is an example for the world to learn. To put it simply, it is a college that specializes in teaching people who are role models! ”

"Oh? What Xiahou means is that this normal college is a college for specialized teachers. The people who are taught in it are the people who can be teachers after they come out. Yu Zhining said suddenly.

"Exactly!" Xia Hongsheng said to everyone: "In the academy today, what is lacking is not the students, but the teachers. There are many ways to learn from things, from the principles of heaven and earth, to the ways of nature, to the principles of life, to the food, clothing, food, clothing, and even medical care...... Not many people know these things, and even if there are students who are willing to learn, no one teaches them. This normal school is to train a group of teachers who meet my requirements, and then teach them to the students in the academy. ”

"Being a teacher is not something that ordinary people can do. Even if they have sufficient knowledge, their personality and character need to be considered, and they cannot be appointed arbitrarily. Yan Xiangshi said to Xia Hongsheng quite solemnly.

Everyone also nodded, and also looked at Xia Hongsheng very solemnly.

"What the gentleman said is very true! Under the requirements of the Normal College, before learning, one thing must be done first, that is, the word normal. Xia Hongsheng solemnly said to everyone: "My so-called teacher, although it has the meaning of what Mr. Fang Caigai said, it also has another meaning. And this meaning is the most basic thing that a teacher must do. ”

"Oh? What does that mean? Yan Xiangshi asked.

Xia Hongsheng looked at those candidates and said in a deep voice: "Learn to be a teacher and behave in the world!" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were happily moved and nodded in agreement. (To be continued.) )
