573 Principal Kong
Since ancient times, there are no more than two kinds of people who are teachers, one is the world-famous Confucian, the university scholar, which is also divided into two kinds, one is the love of the landscape, unwilling to participate in court disputes, at the beginning of the great sage who took it as his responsibility to be a teacher and educate students, represented by Guiguzi Wang Xu; One is determined to be an official, but forced by reality, and determined to teach and educate people after seeing through a qiē, but there are also some people who are disappointed in reality, unable to realize their political ambitions and escape from reality, represented by a large number of people such as Confucius, Zheng Xuan, and Xun Shuang, but they are still a minority.
The second kind of people just know some words, only know how to read books, but no matter how they can't read the famous hall, there was no way before the Song Dynasty, and after the Song Dynasty, the lack of academic ability could not be admitted to the imperial examination, and they went to a small Mongolian school to be a literacy enlightenment teacher in the discouragement, and this kind of people accounted for the majority.
The imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty is only a prototype, and the local education system is basically zero, so the second type of people is also extremely minority, and most of them are in the family as family enlightenment teachers, teaching the children of the family to read and learn words, mix a bite of food, maybe a family member, but there is no great talent, can only be an enlightenment teacher.
Similar to Wang Xu and Zheng Xuan, there are very few great sages who are teachers, because generally speaking, scholars and sages with great fame, in this era when the imperial examination system has not established norms, and there are still some remnants of the inspection system, they will be recruited by the imperial court to be officials in the court with special courtesy, and eight or nine times out of ten are willing, and the remaining tenths are only rare, and Suning rarely knows what kind of great sages of this type were willing to teach and educate people in the early Tang Dynasty, and left a big reputation. Kong Yingda is known as the emperor, but he is also an official, and he has always been.
As soon as the establishment of the education system in Datang began, it encountered unsolvable problems, it could not find teachers, could not find the enlightenment teachers needed to establish a Mongolian learning system in the local area, and could not find an enlightenment teacher who could educate children to read and learn characters, and even if he could find it, he was also a great sage with great ambitions, suitable for teaching and educating people in the University of Political Science and Law, the highest literati school in Datang that was about to be built. And not in a small township. Hundreds of families teach and educate people.
The current situation in the Tang Dynasty should establish an education system from the top down and then to the middle, not from the bottom up, either literati or Bai Ding who is illiterate at all. There is hardly anyone in the middle of the zài. Not to mention junior high school students and high school students. Elementary school students are not qualified, don't think about kindergarten or anything, the only one suitable for immediate establishment and handling. On the contrary, it is the highest institution of political science and law.
Then, in order to return to the most basic level, in the Tang Dynasty to establish the most basic early childhood literacy classes, that is, Mengxue, Mengxue can not only let young children go to school, but also let adults who are willing to be aware of words to join, the improvement of national literacy can not only rely on children, all adults in the world today can not say that they can read, can be literate, that is also a huge leap, the basic sign of the completion of the national education system is that everyone is literate, the first task of the establishment of the education system is to eliminate illiteracy.
According to the delineation of the modern education system, starting from the age of six to enter the primary school, Mengxue can be limited to two years, that is, four to six years old, the mind is beginning to form, full of curiosity and desire to learn, is the best age.
As for the division of primary and secondary schools and universities, there are no clear regulations, and according to their own experience in receiving education at an early age, ministers generally start studying at the age of five and become officials at the age of 20, which is a total of 15 years of study, study and study tours, and there is not much time to study after becoming officials, which is a common situation.
Generally speaking, families with books to read are from the age of four or five to educate children to read and learn words, twenty years old and crown, but with the establishment of the imperial examination system, from Xiucai to the champion under the system, there is no prescribed year, Yan Shu can be admitted to the champion in his teens, and more people in their seventies and eighties can not be admitted to a Xiucai, which is the problem caused by the lack of a normative demarcation of the number of years, and naturally there are some people who are stupid and dull, and they are really unable to be admitted.
The most basic literacy and literacy reading enlightenment books, it is estimated that two years is enough, so the enrollment time and learning scope of Mengxue are the earliest, four years old, six years old, mainly literacy, literacy after reading some enlightenment books, 100% admission rate, no test.
The county-level county school, the students of a county get together to study, called the county school, also called the primary school according to the concept of the university, the age of six starts, when it ends but is not determined, but with the gradual popularization of the concept of marriage between men and women and fifteen, more and more ministers unify their thoughts, seventeen years old, limited to seventeen years old, from six to seventeen years old, is a year, the primary and secondary school learning tasks stipulated by the imperial court are completed, you can refer to the highest university University of Political Science and Law, and then become an official.
Suning's obsessive-compulsive disorder is committed again, saying that it is better to be eighteen years old than seventeen years old, many people must be in a hurry to get married at the age of seventeen, if you still have to consider the university entrance examination at this time, how to do it? It is better to postpone it for a year, eighteen years old, from six to eighteen years old is the study time of primary and secondary schools, the imperial court must make regulations, as soon as the age of eighteen arrives, the status of middle school students is officially lifted, and it is necessary to refer to the university.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't pass the exam, you can take the exam for a lifetime, and you can always take the exam, but if you meet some prodigies and the like who are too awesome, you can't let him take the university entrance exam too early, it's not a good thing to pull out the seedlings to help grow, and the age limit is fifteen years old as the minimum age standard for admission to the university, less than fifteen years old, you are not allowed to refer to the university, and there is no cap, even if you are one hundred and fifty years old, you can also take the university exam.
The ministers nodded yes, the division of this academic year was determined in this way, and then it was the imminent preparation of the Tang University of Political Science and Law, and the semester system was in accordance with the system of the military university, but Suning Jianyi was one year longer than the military university, and it was changed to a four-year system, from eighteen to twenty-two years old, which is the most standard study period, and at the age of twenty-two, you can participate in the imperial examination for the completion of the university, as long as you have a university graduation certificate. You can take the imperial examination.
The imperial examination should also be standardized, and there are some positions that can only be applied for by college graduates, while for some positions, anyone who is literate and has read books and meets the examination standards can apply for the examination, and the limited number of college students studying the military university system cannot be more than 1,000 people a year. Scarcity is expensive. Educational outcomes also need to be protected, and of course with an increase in the number of students and an increase in the population, sooner or later, every state can have universities.
Even now. The weight of a thousand reserve officers a year. It's enough for Li Ermaxi to wake up laughing even from a dream. The successful examples of military universities are vivid, and the significance of the University of Political Science and Law is more to break the monopoly of the family, compared to the military university. The establishment and success of the University of Political Science and Law can better demonstrate the achievements of Datang Wenzhi.
But then came a strict question, that is, where to find the teacher......
Military universities are easy, as long as you are a general, you can enter, to train officers as their own responsibility, the army in the army is endless, the army is a professor of the military academy, the army and the military school hang together, never have to worry about the source of students and teachers, this is why the family can not do anything to the military university, but the University of Political Science and Law is different, as the name suggests, the University of Administration and Justice, administration, need administrative talents, justice, also need to understand the law of talents, but also need to know how to teach talents.
There are administrative talents in Datang, judicial talents, and Datang also have them, but there are too few people who understand administration, justice and teaching, and the teaching subjects of the University of Political Science and Law are definitely not only administration and justice, this is just a name, not to mention justice, how much content does one administration contain? Persuasion of agriculture, persuasion of learning, trial of cases, handling of civil disputes, management of agricultural production, commercial development and industrial construction under the rule of law, restoration of civilization and etiquette, all kinds of things are very specific.
Of course, he doesn't have to do it himself, and the incumbents in the county are also professionals who have passed the imperial examination, but he can't be ignorant, he must at least know, understand, and then assist professionals to deal with these things, and can't let professionals play because they don't understand, causing a tragedy.
There are no shortage of such examples.
Therefore, the educational task of the University of Political Science and Law is quite severe, related to the safety of the entire administrative system of the Tang Dynasty in the future, all the ministers have solemn faces, and there should be no slackness, Kong Yingda's old man's eyes are red, tears are not stopping, kneeling in front of Li Ermaxi à and asking Li Erma Xià to let him make this University of Political Science and Law sacrificial wine, with the example of the Military University, the minister thinks that the students of the University of Political Science and Law should also be the protégé of the Son of Heaven, but at this time Suning raised objections.
"Military universities have their particularity, students are generals in the army, command the army, the army is the important weapon of the country, must be given to the hand of His Majesty, stable commander, must not be chaotic, is to ask His Majesty to serve as the president of the military university, so that his students are the protégés of the Son of Heaven, strengthen the unity in the army, mutual trust between the top and bottom, and the country is safe; On the other hand, in the University of Political Science and Law, students are teachers, and they are court officials, big or small, from all over the world, and they need to assert themselves and assume self-responsibility for what they do and do.
Administration is not better than fighting, which is more dangerous than marching to fight, the army will be the protégé of the Son of Heaven, which can consolidate the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and stabilize the Tang Dynasty, and the officials around the country are the protégés of the Son of Heaven, what is this? The protégé of the Son of Heaven should be an honor, not a habit, and things are scarce and expensive, and if they are used too much, who will be proud and proud of the title of the protégé of the Son of Heaven?
Moreover, the emperors of the past dynasties have been the principals, in case the former emperor entrusted the minister to graduate from the university, and the current emperor is only more than ten years old, can the teachers and students be reversed, and the young and the old reversed? Isn't it ridiculous? It is something that can be done by generals in the army, but not by officials in the world. ”
After Su Ning's words, the ministers nodded again and again, and after thinking deeply, Li Er also felt that this was indeed a bit of a lack of consideration, but one can be two or three, the military university is already an exception to do this, if the University of Political Science and Law also does this, sooner or later there will be chaos, the protégé of the Son of Heaven is a privilege, definitely not all students can get it, in case a scum comes out, isn't it the Son of Heaven who also has to apologize?
Even so, it is better to throw out this burden and grasp the military power, and then you can control the political power, Li Ermajesty thought about it and said: "What Su Qing said is very true, the protégé of the Son of Heaven is by no means an ordinary title, how can it be awarded at will?" This move undermined the majesty of the emperor, because I decided that if the University of Political Science and Law was successful, I would not hold the position of president, but give the position of president to Kong Qing, and reproduce the grand occasion of Confucius to Kong Qing, and the peach and plum will be all over the world. ”
Anyway, the emperors of all dynasties have held the Confucian family as a literary saint, Kong Yingda himself is also a learned Confucian, rich teaching experience, is really the best candidate for the position of principal in the current court, and Kong Yingda has also made great contributions before, thanks to the power of the Qingliu literati and the Hanmen scholars to fight against the power of the family, so that the court will not fall behind in the literary world, this is the time to repay the peach, Kong Yingda's lifelong wish is to reproduce the feat of the old master Kong, three thousand disciples, and now if it is the heyday, the four thousand disciples are unknown.
Kong Yingda couldn't be happier...... (To be continued......)
