Chapter 1033: Bian Yujing is going to be a teacher

（1033）

[Today's second update is delivered! ] 】

Nanjing, Forbidden City,.

The sun hadn't come out yet, and Zhang Zhun, who had just finished breakfast, walked around the courtyard alone. From time to time, he would stop and do some stretching exercises, leg presses, bending over, which was considered a workout. At the same time, keep your spirits in the best shape to start the day. According to the work schedule, he has a lot of things to be busy today. From schools to chambers of commerce, from law to foreign relations, everything has to be taken care of.

The weather in September is quite cool. The cool wind, blowing in gusts, makes people feel very comfortable. Walking under the big trees and enjoying the cool breeze is indeed a pleasure. Unfortunately, these are not fruit trees. Otherwise, the melons and fruits are fragrant and feasted, which will be even more wonderful.

In fact, in the past, the entire area of the Forbidden City, including the surrounding Taimiao, Taisheji and other places, was without trees, only bare buildings. The goal was to prevent the Assassins from hiding in the trees. Later, after Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, the Forbidden City of Nanjing began to plant trees. Therefore, in the Forbidden City of Nanjing, the oldest tree is more than 200 years old.

"My teacher, my teacher, is here."

Wang Shide came in to report.

"Please."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said.

He returned to the side hall and waited for He Fengsheng's arrival.

"Lord Governor, the officials are polite."

Soon, He Fengsheng came in.

This old man's health has always been quite good, probably due to his long-term fasting. Since resigning and returning to his hometown, He Fengsheng has insisted on eating only vegetarian dishes at every meal to take good care of his body. Therefore, although he traveled to many places and had a lot of things to do, he never saw any tired look.

This is indeed rare for an old man in his fifties. At that time, the average age of the population was in their thirties. This is also the basic reason why Zhang Zhun invited him to come and prepare to give him a heavy responsibility. The affairs he is about to arrange for He Fengsheng will need to be handled with great effort in order to be effective. If you don't have a little spirit, the effect will be greatly reduced.

After Beizhili helped Mu Mo deal with some local affairs, He Fengsheng was soon promoted to the central government and became familiar with national government affairs in the Ministry of Government Affairs for a period of time. In many aspects, He Fengsheng has shown good ability and is capable of multi-faceted work.

However, what Zhang Zhun values most about him is his ability to teach and educate people. When Hu Guangfu was at home, He Fengsheng taught many disciples. Wang Shide is one of He Fengsheng's proud disciples. The work he is going to hand over to He Fengsheng is closely related to his strengths.

"Mr. Keqiu, hard work."

Zhang Zhun took the initiative to stand up and greeted respectfully.

"Lord Governor has every opportunity, and it is really hard."

He Fengsheng said sincerely.

"You may be seated!"

Zhang Zhun made a gesture and asked He Fengsheng to sit down.

Wang Shide supported his teacher and sat down next to Zhang Zhun's main seat. Later, he went to bring the tea himself. The teacher is in front of him, and he, as a disciple, naturally has to be cared for and not leaky.

Zhang Zhun sat down, looked at He Fengsheng, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Kexuan, I came to you today for the sake of the national education system. ”

He Fengsheng had basically learned what Zhang Zhun meant from Wang Shide, so he didn't feel any surprise when he heard Zhang Zhun say this. He just listened quietly. He knew that what Zhang Zhun was going to say to himself would definitely be a lot.

Zhang Zhun meant that he was ready to let He Fengsheng serve as the Minister of Education and oversee school education across the country. This school, of course, is a new type of school, including kindergartens, preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, universities, and so on. At that time, these were basically blanks, and it was not easy to establish a perfect system.

In the past, matters related to private schools, schools, public schools, etc., were all in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and their status was obviously not important enough. The number of people who can get an education is indeed too small. Out of a hundred school-age children, only fifteen at most are able to receive education. Others, can only be illiterate. Zhang Zhun decided to set up a first-class department under the Ministry of Political Affairs, that is, the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education's primary task is to eradicate illiteracy in all aspects.

Although the new empire had not yet been formally established, the Tiger Ben Army was nominally part of the Ming Kingdom. However, the Tiger Ben Army already has the strength to form a systematic cultural education throughout the country. In fact, in Qingdao and surrounding areas in Shandong Province, a large number of new schools have been established in a small area, which has greatly increased the enrollment rate of children.

Zhang Zhun hopes that in the first five years, more than 30 percent of school-age children will be able to receive education. In the next five years, it can be increased to 50%. Since then, the education popularization rate has gradually increased. Eventually, it will take about 20 years to reach the state of perfection in which every school-age child has a book to read.

For the time being, Zhang Zhun has not yet put forward the concept of nine-year compulsory education. The main reason is that the conditions at that time were not yet in place. Among them, the biggest constraint is that the number of teachers is too small. With such a large number of school-age children, it is necessary to have a large number of supporting teachers. Even if you can't have one teacher for 30 children, you need at least one teacher for 100 children.

However, at that time, the number of people who knew how to read and write was indeed too small, basically one radish and one pit, and it was impossible to draw out a lot. This question really gave Zhang Zhun a headache. If you don't have enough teachers, even if you have the money to build a lot of new schools, it's useless!

Fortunately, Zhang Zhun's workarounds are also eclectic. If the readers in a radish and a pit can't be adjusted, then they will be transferred from the idle readers in society. As long as there is a little bit of culture, they are within the search range of the Tiger Army. Who are the people in society who can be drawn out? Of course.

One, it is the former official lady, the aunt's wife, *** milk or something, as long as they know how to read and write, they can be asked to come out to do things. These people, more or less understand some culture, and there are quite a few of them, who are responsible for helping to educate children in Chinese classes, and there is no problem at all.

The second is to tune from the inside of the green building. As long as you know how to read and write, you will also be drawn out. In the past, Zhang Zhun had done such a thing, but now it is just a system. Of course, when doing this, there must be *** force to publicize it, beautify it, what to save the poor woman from fire and water and so on.

Another solution to the shortage of teachers is to find someone to work part-time. As long as they are incumbents of the Tiger Army, as long as they are educated, they must work part-time in a school. Every week, attend at least half a day of class. As for the specific schedule, it's up to you. Even high-level officials such as Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan have to teach part-time for half a day. If they don't take the lead, they won't be able to get it down.

After being trumpeted by Zhang Zhun like this, the teacher's problem can be regarded as a solution. However, Zhang Zhun did not care about how to plan the curriculum, how to arrange the enrollment of students, and how to set up the distribution of schools. This is the matter of He Fengsheng, the new Minister of Education, and he will naturally deal with it.

In order to achieve the goal of literacy, young people and adults should be taken into account in addition to school-age children. For the time being, Zhang Zhun is not able to pay special attention to these two groups. Therefore, the education of young people and adults is mainly dependent on evening schools. The education of school-age children should take the form of compulsion. Adult education is voluntary.

Of course, the content of education has also changed a lot. The original private school only studied the four books and five classics, of course, no. Zhang Zhun should be set up according to the primary school of later generations. Chinese and mathematics must be learned. When children grow up, they will have to learn physics, chemistry, and the like when they reach junior high school. The future inhabitants of the new empire must have a considerable culture.

"Mathematical ......"

Physical ......

"Chemical ......"

He Fengsheng felt a lot of pressure,

language, that's no problem. This is the most relaxing class. As long as you are a scholar, as long as you are a cultural person, all the books you have studied before are the Four Books and the Five Classics. If you extract a paragraph casually, you can memorize it well, and you can memorize it like a stream.

Mathematics is a big problem. At that time, the private school also had arithmetic classes. However, this course is generally passed through the classroom, and there are not many people who really study seriously, and even fewer people who teach seriously. The imperial examination does not test arithmetic, what do you learn to do? As for settling accounts, as long as you follow the old gentleman in the accounting room and specialize in how to plan the plan.

As for physics and chemistry, that's the bigger problem. Don't talk about others, even He Fengsheng himself, he still can't figure out what these two lessons are learning. To be honest, no matter how rich He Fengsheng's teaching experience is, he still has no bottom in his heart. There is no way, the education that Zhang Zhun needs seems to be too different from the education in his cognition.

Many of the things Zhang Zhun mentioned were things he never knew. What is the nine-year compulsory education, what kindergarten, what preschool, what primary, secondary, and university ...... All of them are new terms. You have to listen carefully to Zhang Zhun's explanation before you can understand the meaning. Sometimes, you have to ask several times to get an accurate grasp of the main idea.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhun did not mean to achieve it overnight. It is impossible for such a big stall of education to be spread out all at once. Therefore, Zhang Zhun meant that in the Jiangnan region, where the educational foundation is relatively good, to be precise, it is Yingtianfu, Zhenjiang Mansion, Suzhou Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Songjiang Mansion and other places, the experiment will be started first. If the results of the trial are good, then it will be rolled out nationwide. If the results of the experiment are not good, then continue to improve.

In the above-mentioned areas, commerce and trade are relatively developed, and the average family is relatively well-off and can afford to provide for their children to go to school. More importantly, the people in this part of the region are more open-minded and more likely to accept new types of education. After all, some of the knowledge imparted in the new school is contrary to the traditional perception of the people. If the idea is too deep-rooted, it will not be able to be taught.

In Zhang Zhun's future imperial plan, the Yangtze River estuary area will be the most economically developed and the people's minds will be the most developed in the new empire. They were the first to participate in the foreign trade of the Ming Kingdom. Their perception of the world and their exploration of the world should also be the strongest. In the future struggle for world domination, this region will play a decisive role.

"Mr. Keqiu, you can come to me at any time if you need anything."

At the end of the negotiation, Zhang Zhun once again showed his true colors of taking care of everything.

"Then I'll ask the Governor to bother more."

He Fengsheng said in a slightly old voice.

The old man whispered in his heart, I don't bother you, it's really not good!

Wang Shide helped He Fengsheng out and sent him away. Not long after the two left, Wang Junyu quietly came in and said in a low voice: "My lord, Miss Bian Yujing is here." ”

Zhang Zhun said a little strangely: "Bian Yujing? What did she come to do? ”

He had just greeted Bian Yujing in Yanyu Building before, and at that time, Bian Yujing did not react. Well, it won't be her own money to help Bian Yujing redeem herself, she wants to be crooked, and she wants to make a promise with her body, right? Ah, that doesn't seem like a bad thing......

"Please!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said quietly.

A moment later, Bian Yujing came in.

Today, she seems to dress herself up with a little jasper. In fact, the smell of Qinglou on her body is indeed not very strong. She is only registered in the Qinglou, and she rarely stores it there. On the contrary, she has a little more taste of a woman in the rivers and lakes. It is estimated that they were all trained when they were running errands for the Zheng family.

Zhang Zhun asked curiously, "Miss Bian, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Bian Yujing's face turned slightly red, and then he tried his best to control his emotions, and said in as natural a tone as possible: "I'm here to thank Lord Dudu." Thank you, Lord Governor, for giving me back my freedom. I know the Governor doesn't care about such trivial matters. It's just that for me, it's a big thing in life. The Zheng family treated me well, but they never thought of giving me back their freedom. ”

Zhang Zhun said casually: "This is nothing, don't take it to heart." ”

Bian Yujing nodded, and then said with a smile: "I heard that adults want to run a school, so I recommended myself to be a teacher, I don't know if Lord Governor will allow it?" ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Of course! Can't ask for it! ”

Bian Yujing smiled faintly. After a while, she said softly: "Originally, I should have thanked you on behalf of Sister Gu Mei, but she still seems to have some prejudices against you, I will persuade her first, and let her come to thank you in person when the time comes!" ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head disapprerovingly, and said lightly: "I ransomed her body to give her more opportunities to walk the world." Thank you, it doesn't matter if you have it or not. I'm sure she'll change her mind over time. ”

Bian Yujing smiled slightly, then stood up to say goodbye and went out gracefully.
