Chapter 1107: Intent

***

"In a word, it is to check your energy consumption, you can roughly infer your output, if the difference between energy consumption and output is too large, no matter how beautiful your account is, there must be a suspicion of making false accounts." The top "dot" said,

And all of this needs to be known by quite professional people, and even only those who are engaged in that industry know the inside story, so in the process of training, I feel the need to hire such people as instructors. ”

Interlaced like a melting mountain, the department officials involved in some professional knowledge are, of course, trained by the top talents of this specialty, and the top talents in the industry are often not officials, but people engaged in this industry.

For example, when it comes to accounting, the top talents are definitely not the officials of the household department who read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but may be the account offices of major merchants, and only they know the way best.

These Sima An, Lu Zhenfei and others knew it well, so Qin Mu proposed to hire these top talents as teachers to train officials in charge of this area, and several cabinet ministers felt that it was reasonable, so they also agreed.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that Qin Mu proposed to train and assess the officials of these departments, and at the same time hire top talents from all walks of life to serve as training teachers. In addition to improving the professional knowledge of officials and improving their management capabilities, so as to improve the administrative efficiency of the entire department, Qin Mu also concealed deeper intentions.

Just imagine, once the court officials must also learn, will the status of the corresponding discipline also be improved accordingly?

For example, household officials must participate in the knowledge of mathematics, geometry and other disciplines, which can be subdivided into finance, auditing, warehouse management, accounting, and so on. Departments such as the Ministry of Industry, the Ordnance Supervisor, the Metropolitan Water Supervisor, the Sinong Temple, the Taifu Temple, and the Qintianjian should learn professional knowledge in physics, chemistry, machinery, agriculture, animal husbandry, and other related fields.

After the training, if the assessment is not passed, even if it is not immediately dismissed. also basically lost the opportunity for promotion. In such a situation, officials will pay attention to these subjects spontaneously, and even those who aspire to become officials will take the initiative to learn the knowledge of these subjects in advance.

In fact, the status of mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, geography, agriculture, livestock and other related disciplines will be greatly improved unconsciously.

The imperial court did not explicitly stipulate that scholars must learn these, but do you want to be an official? Do you want to be promoted as an official? Do you want to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister and glorify your ancestors?

If you want, then please learn more! Otherwise, even if you pass the Jinshi examination, you may only be an eight-rank petty official for the rest of your life, and you will not get the opportunity to be promoted.

And the talents of the corresponding disciplines, professors who have been training officers for a long time. Of course, the status will also rise. As representatives of various disciplines, they also have the influence to promote and improve the status of various disciplines.

In this way, do you still have to worry about no one studying natural science, and you still need to worry about the social deformities caused by Confucianism?

Of course, a big country like China, with its vast territory and complicated situation, cannot rush everything. As Lu Zhenfei said. Even if you want to train, you have to come from one department at a time, and you can't swarm at once, otherwise it will be chaotic.

Officials in these departments have implemented vocational training and assessment. The status of the related disciplines has also been basically raised.

In addition, although Song Huizong was the king of the fallen country, some of his practices can also be used for reference. Qin Mu remembered that the deceased monarch had set up a painting academy and other places to recruit top talents in the industry for exchange and creation. As a result, many first-class paintings and calligraphy works appeared in that era, such as Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" and so on.

Then, Song Huizong was able to set up a painting academy. Why can't he, the founding emperor, set up an academy of sciences to support a large number of academicians?

The palaces of the past dynasties can support tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids, but they can't afford to raise hundreds of academicians?

What's more, just like the Internal Supervision R&D Department, not only does it not need to be supported by Qin, on the contrary, the research results of the Internal Supervision R&D Department have become one of the main sources of royal income.

By analogy, what does it matter if you raise more academicians, the benefits they create may far outweigh the cost of supporting them.

The title of "Academician Supported by the Royal Family" alone is estimated to be enough for many people to squeeze their heads and compete for it, and there is no need to forcibly incorporate it into the current system of the imperial court.

There is no need to be restricted by the court officials, I will raise as many academicians as I like, you can't control it.

Taking a step back, who doesn't have a hobby, Qin Mu, as the founding monarch, forcibly incorporated the Academy of Sciences into the imperial court system, and who can forcibly oppose it?

With the Royal Academy of Sciences, with the Royal Prize for Science. Coupled with the above-mentioned measures to train officials in related professions, I believe that the status of each natural discipline is enough to be improved. With hope, there will be a large number of people who like natural sciences to devote themselves to learning and studying.

As for the imperial examination, let it continue to follow its old path and continue to drill its dead end, because if it can't walk, it will naturally be banned, and it will not lead to the abnormal development of the whole society.

Of course, there is no need to disclose these thoughts to the cabinet ministers present, and it is enough to arrange them step by step and guide the general trend in this direction.

Qin Mu's movements were relatively small, and the discussion with the six cabinet ministers in the Huagai Hall was also going smoothly. Sima An finally muttered: "Your Majesty, when conducting training and assessment of officials, it is necessary to consider them carefully. Some of the older officials have limited energy and a relatively small chance of promotion, and if they are forced to participate in training and evaluation, it will inevitably cause these officials to complain and be unfair. ”

He Liang said: "Sima Ge's concern is not unreasonable, but as the saying goes, it is not unequal to the outnumber. If some officials participate in the training and assessment, and some officials do not have to participate, then the part that participates will inevitably complain.

Your Majesty, the minister suggested that it is advisable to declare in advance that all the officials of the corresponding departments must participate in the training and assessment, as the so-called life to old age, to learn, even if they are older, to participate in the training and assessment, can always increase some professional knowledge, improve their ability to govern.

Even if an official who has not passed the examination does not have to make serious mistakes in his or her own work, he or she can still be transferred to another post or remain in his original post without fear of being dismissed.

The results of the assessment are only used as the basis for promotion, and only officials who have passed the training and assessment will have the opportunity to be promoted. This can not only motivate those officials who are interested in serving the imperial court to study hard, but also avoid causing resistance and backlash from all officials. ”

Lu Zhenfei, Yang Tinglin, and even Sima An echoed when they heard this: "What He Shangshu said is very good, Your Majesty, the ministers and others seconded it. ”

Qin Mu thought about it and felt that this would be fine, so he nodded and said, "Well, then do what He Shangshu said, let's do it, let's start the training and assessment with the officials of the Ordnance Supervision and the Capital Water Supervision Supervisor, what do you pavilion elders think?" ”

As soon as Qin Mu asked, everyone agreed, the ordnance prison is actually very large, there are many officials, and the professionalism is very prominent, involving almost all disciplines such as mathematics, geometry, physics, and chemistry.

The water superintendent is in charge of water conservancy, and the subjects involved include mathematics, geometry, mechanics and other disciplines. Although there are many disciplines involved in these two divisions, in terms of system, these two divisions do not belong to the core departments of the imperial court.

In some dynasties, these two divisions were even just a supervision department under the Ministry of Industry, and the officials of the two departments were also relatively low.

After reaching a consensus on this matter, Qin Mu said again: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people." All dynasties and dynasties have attached great importance to education, Taixue, Fuxue, Zhouxue, and County Schools, and students are not only exempted from education funds when they are enrolled, but also receive corresponding rations for each student every month.

These systems of supporting education can be said to be unique to China, and they have been passed down from generation to generation with Chinese culture. However, I have noticed that the past generations have only paid attention to the cultivation of talents, but not to the cultivation of teachers.

Teachers are responsible for the dissemination of knowledge, and a good teacher can cultivate a lot of outstanding talents, but on the contrary, it is a matter of misleading people's children, which is very important.

Moreover, there is a big difference between teaching and research, and a person with very high knowledge may not be good at educating and guiding students.

In view of this, I feel that it is very necessary to set up some teacher training colleges to train professional teachers, and to give them corresponding treatment through the evaluation of some professional titles, so as to encourage those excellent teachers to teach and educate people better. ”
