Chapter 49: The Japanese use the textbook of the Ming Dynasty
"The rule of saints is far from enough. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhu Cihong swirled with the four big words of compulsory education in his mind.
Only citizens who have undergone compulsory education can be said to be truly nationals who can be counted in the overall national strength. Without education, I don't know the concept of family and country in my mind, and if I am bound to the fields by the wealthy family, it will be more like a burden and a burden.
However, the cost of education is simply too high. Not to mention the cost of building a school, the cost of subsidizing official textbooks alone is an astronomical amount. Not to mention the new teachers who are robbed of all the normal schools in Beijing and 13 provinces every year as soon as they graduate. These are all to eat the financial meal, accounting for a royal grain establishment.
Zhu Cihong was able to build a new 8,000 primary school, but he still used tax incentives, merging village schools and private schools to create a situation by exhausting methods. In particular, several major wars have been won, laying the most important material foundation. After the war, many lands have long since lost their owners in the war, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry. Although everyone is vying for the return of the land, it is too difficult to determine the original owner, and the court is unwilling.
So, with a stroke of his pen, Zhu Cihong threw all these trophies with unknown ownership into the cause of education.
Engage in education, even the most stubborn courtiers have no objection.
That's when we stumbled and got into the current educational situation.
To get back to the point, although the reality is difficult, there must always be ideals. Compulsory education will continue to be implemented, and there will be more and more schools and students.
If Zhu Cihong didn't mention the data of 4 million young children, Lin Luoshan would only think that Zhu Cihong was making grand wishes, bragging, and talking about dreams.
But now that Daming has such brilliant achievements, it is far from enough to say at this time, but it is ambitious and worthy of admiration.
"The work of educating the country is really enviable." Lin Luoshan said this, but he was really willing: "If you can learn one or two true transmissions in your life, you will live up to it in this life." ”
Zhu Cihong's heart moved: I'm afraid you won't be tempted!
Since ancient times, there has not been an educator who has not aspired to make education even more extensive. Especially in ancient times, when this education was costly.
"Since ancient times, there have been saints and clouds: there is no class in teaching. Now that I have come to Japan, I also want the Japanese people to educate and civilize. Zhu Cihong looked at Lin Luoshan with a smile.
Lin Luoshan's eyes lit up, what a smart person he was, and he immediately understood Zhu Cihong's thoughts: "Your Majesty...... Willing to fund education in Japan? ”
"Of course." Zhu Cihong laughed: "I know how difficult it is to run a school, one is a house, the second is a meal, and the third is a book. Meals in the house are not taken into account for the time being. However, when it comes to books, I can promise it first. As long as Mr. Luo Shan is interested in using my Ming textbooks, I can now order a total of 1 million textbooks for the two basic subjects of Chinese and mathematics to be imported from China! ”
"A million copies!" Lin Luoshan's breathing suddenly became heavy.
He's probably never seen so many books in his life.
You know, these days, the collection of 10,000 books is the scale that a top private library has pursued all his life, and it is even more difficult to expand. At a time when printing costs are high, even with movable type printing, the price of a book is often as high as one or two pieces of silver.
Millions of textbooks, for Lin Luoshan, is a million taels of money.
Moreover, even with all the printing capacity of the whole of Japan in a year, I am afraid that it will not be possible to print so many books.
If there are so many books, the cost of education can indeed be greatly reduced. Originally able to teach only 80 students, the Hayashi private school was able to expand its teaching capacity tenfold at once, not to mention the promotion of education in Japan as a whole.
"This courtesy...... It's too heavy......" Lin Luoshan didn't wait for Zhu Cihong to continue to slide his hand, and his voice almost trembled.
It's really too heavy, and if he sells Lin Luoshan, he can't even take out a million taels of silver.
"Am I such a money-grubbing layman?" Zhu Cihong stiffened his face.
"Student...... That's not what it means...... Lin Luoshan's head shook like a rattle: "It's too heavy." Millions of books, even if the ministers turn out the library of books they have heard of, I am afraid that they will not see so many books. If this batch of books is brought in, I am afraid that the kingdom will also delay the cause of culture and education. Furthermore, the way of the capital is useless, and students cannot do such things that harm others and benefit themselves. ”
"I was still worried about it." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "It turns out that you think that this little book will affect my education career in the Ming Dynasty." Hahaha......"
Nowadays, there are tens of millions of printing workshops in Daming, and the cost has been greatly reduced. In particular, textbooks have special subsidies, and a full set of hardcover editions of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms may cost one or two silver, but the price of a Chinese textbook will be as low as 20 wen when it is printed.
In particular, the printing volume is huge all over the country, and the cost can also be reduced with the increase of printing volume, and the actual cost is much smaller than Lin Luoshan's estimate.
"Could it be...... Isn't it? Lin Luoshan felt that what he saw and heard today was beyond his understanding.
"Of course not!" Zhu Cihong said proudly: "How can I be the kind of person who slaps a swollen face and becomes fat? If you don't believe me, I'll have your name printed on the textbook. As for...... Reactive power is not subject to failure......"
Zhu Cihong leisurely threw Wang Fuyi a look.
Lin Luoshan suddenly realized: "Student...... Student ......"
Zhu Cihong knew that Lin Luoshan was entangled, and Wang Fuzhi also showed a kind smile, trying not to make the well-known Japanese educator in front of him feel nervous.
"Student...... It's disrespectful! After all, Lin Luoshan couldn't resist the temptation of millions of textbooks. He wasn't worried at all that there would be patriotic education articles about China in it, and he didn't think that Japanese people all learned Chinese characters and spoke Chinese.
After all, the most advanced culture in these years came from the Ming Dynasty.
If you don't learn Chinese, you don't use Chinese characters, do you use Japanese behind closed doors?
Perhaps, according to the original history, there is still this opportunity and opportunity.
But now...... Apparently there will be no more.
Leaving these aside, Zhu Cihong patted Lin Luoshan and Wang Fuzhi on the shoulders and handed over the private school to the two of them.
They're going to negotiate.
And the result is obviously the plan that Zhu Cihong expected to attack Japan.
He wants to control ...... Or influence the shogunate and make Japan a divine weapon of the Ming Dynasty to conquer the world. And this point, naturally, involves the most critical point: military power.
Like North Korea, Zhu Cihong also set his sights on the Japanese army.
However, trying to achieve this point in North Korea has already provoked a backlash against the mutiny. When he arrived in Japan, Zhu Cihong naturally had to repeatedly seek a safe way.
