Chapter 478 Science, Education, Culture and Health Department

Is Ouyang Shuo's idea good?

Of course, this is good, because this is simply a copy of the modern education system, there is no need to pass the imperial examination, as long as you go through rounds of entrance examinations, you can select qualified talents. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, it is difficult to realize this vision.

First, there is a shortage of teachers.

The main map of the game is still based on Confucian culture, and the talents brushed out among the displaced people are also dominated by Confucian students. In order to add other subjects in the county school, it is necessary to have corresponding teachers.

Now, the only one that can train teachers is the Southwest University Hall.

First, a group of existing faculty members can be transferred from various colleges to the county school to preside over teaching. Second, some of the graduating students can be selected to become teachers.

The two work together to set up the framework of the county school.

At present, it is not easy to set up various subjects at the county school level. Further down the prefectural and county schools, there are no such conditions at all.

Ouyang Shuo is anxious, but he will not help the seedlings.

After the promotion of county schools, the graduates of county schools can be delegated to government schools. And so on, until it is advanced to the prefectural school, and even the most basic private school.

In short, top-down.

Therefore, this is destined to be a relatively long-term process. Ouyang Shuo expects that it will take at least two years to complete this cycle.

Second, the increase in subjects has led to a sharp increase in education spending.

Educational expenditures are public financial expenditures. In the territory, whether it is a private school, a school, or a southwest university hall, the implementation of free education. First, the education expenses shall be borne by the territorial finance.

As the number of subjects increases, so does the number of students.

This is followed by an exponential or even several times increase in education funds, including the expansion of the school, the payment of teachers, the maintenance cost of the school, the daily expenses of students, the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and so on.

Therefore, if it weren't for the improvement of the territory's finances, Ouyang Shuo would not have dared to implement this change at all.

Third, how to ensure fairness.

Equity in education has always been a difficult problem. The fairness of recruiting students, the fairness of evaluation, the fairness of recommendation and so on are all difficult problems.

The three major problems are very thorny, but once they are solved, it will not only affect the imperial examination system, but also the entire officialdom ecology of the territory, which will have an unpredictable impact.

Why?

Ancient Chinese officialdom, officials, officials, officials and officials, in fact, are two completely different classes, the two cannot communicate at all, no matter how the officials are degraded, they will not be demoted to officials; No matter how much an official is promoted, he can't be an official. Officials and officials have jointly built a complete bureaucratic ecology.

An official is a master, a superior person, a servant is an inferior person, and he serves the officials, such as those team leaders, clerks, account book masters, masters, and so on.

As the saying goes, the iron-beaten official of the yamen flowing water.

Officials serve a three-year term, while officials are not, and can even be hereditary. The official is foreign, the official is local, the official bench is not hot, and the official is rooted here, and Lao Tzu is done by his son.

The advantage of this different fate is that it is impossible for an official to form his network of power in one place. The officials, on the other hand, are familiar with the local customs and conditions because they are local, so they are also conducive to the implementation of the policy.

However, at the implementation level, there will be problems, such as: officials coerce officials to paralyze government affairs, and so on.

The complicated relationship between officials and officials cannot be explained clearly after three days and three nights.

The basic public education that Ouyang Shuo is preparing to implement is trying to blur the boundaries between officials and officials, which can be said to have touched the taboo of officialdom.

The additional departments, including arithmetic and law, are aimed at cultivating technical officials.

In ancient times, officials and officials were two completely different selection channels. Now, Ouyang Shuo has placed the officials under the same academy framework, which can be described as an earth-shattering move.

What kind of changes will be caused after that, to be honest, Ouyang Shuo can't make a clear judgment.

Fortunately, this is just a game world, if it was in the real ancient times, Ouyang Shuo dared to propose such a change, I am afraid that he would be kicked off the throne of the monarch by the gentry and bureaucracy in minutes.

In the game, the basic education promoted by Ouyang Shuo is at least very beneficial to promoting the professionalization of territorial government affairs, which is equivalent to the civil service system in the real world.

In this way, Ouyang Shuo does not have to worry that the local officials can hold officials hostage and affect the implementation of government affairs. Because the future officials do not need to be locals, let alone hereditary.

At that time, the various changes implemented by Ouyang Shuo will not be easily deformed at the implementation level. It cannot be said that there is no resistance, at least the difficulties encountered will be much smaller than the changes in history.

It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Shuo made up his mind to firmly promote this change. If it was just to open up the people's wisdom, he wouldn't have to make such a big fanfare.

The implementation of basic education is to lay the foundation for Ouyang Shuo's countless changes in the future.

The three major thorny issues in education must be promoted by a strong department. The current Department of Culture and Education is barely able to take on this heavy responsibility. The crux of the matter is that Ouyang Shuo's ambitions are far more than that.

In addition to education, technology, culture, and health all need to change.

With the entry of the Mo family and the gathering of real experts, Shanhai City is a leader in the field of high-end scientific research. Even so, Ouyang Shuo was not satisfied.

His goal is to advance the level of science and technology at the county level.

In the field of culture, there is no need for change for the time being. The title of "Hundred Holy Lands" has made Shanhai City the leader in the cultural field. What is needed is just proper guidance and control.

The field of health is Ouyang Shuo's second key point after the field of education. The establishment of a sound public medical and health system is the goal set by Ouyang Shuo.

In ancient times, whether it was a doctor or a doctor, it was private in nature. The only one who really belongs to the official family is the imperial doctor who serves the heavenly family.

Therefore, the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment in ancient times is still more than that in modern society.

You don't see, how many ordinary people, because they have no money to treat diseases, either sell their children and daughters, or go bankrupt, or simply wait for death. The misery of his situation cannot be summarized.

Basically, having a serious illness can plunge a family into the abyss.

Ouyang Shuo wants to build a public medical system to solve this problem. He is ready to transform the government medical office, a non-governmental institution, into a semi-official organization.

Unlike the lack of teachers in basic education, there is no shortage of doctors in the territory. The development of the official medical department is still very rapid, and there are hundreds of doctors in it. Everywhere, there are also Lang Zhong or doctors.

As long as all these wandering doctors are hired into the local government medical office, the problem of doctors can be solved.

The problem of medical reform is not doctors, but funding.

In order to realize the universal medical care envisioned by Ouyang Shuo, the operating expenses of the official medical office and the doctor's salary must be borne by the territorial finance.

Even in terms of the price of medicinal materials, it is necessary to be preferential, and it is not possible to seek profits.

As a result, the burden of public health expenditure on the territory's finances is astronomical. In other words, in the area of medical treatment, it is impossible to study for free.

Otherwise, no matter how healthy the territorial finances are, they will not be able to bear it.

It is foreseeable that education and health care will become the bulk of the territory's financial expenditure.

How to charge for medical treatment, how to ensure the supply of medicinal materials, how to ensure the rights and interests of doctors in the official medical department, how to negotiate with major suppliers of medicinal materials, etc., are all problems that need to be solved.

Without a dedicated department to control it, it can't be implemented at all.

Based on the above considerations, Ouyang Shuo is ready to implement a structural change to the Department of Culture and Education. What he can do is to plan the blueprint in the top-level design.

Ouyang Shuo planned to change the name of the Department of Culture and Education to the Department of Science, Education, Culture and Health, which was responsible for the territory's basic public undertakings such as science and technology, education, culture and health. After the name change, it remained under the jurisdiction of the Administration Department.

The Science, Education, Culture and Health Department has four departments, namely the Department of Science and Technology, the Department of Education, the Department of Culture, and the Department of Health.

Xu Shuda, director of the Department of Culture, Culture and Education, if he is to take charge of the Science, Education, Culture and Health Department, I am afraid that it will be difficult for some strong people. After all, the newly established Science, Education, Culture and Health Administration is facing all kinds of difficult changes, involving all aspects of the territory.

Xu Shuda, whether it is ability or qualifications, is not enough to take on this great responsibility. Ouyang Shuo plans to let Xu Shuda serve as the director of the Department of Education and continue to work in the field of education.

The first director of science, education, culture and health had to be a powerful man at the helm.

It stands to reason that Fan Zhongyan, the current director of administration, is a good candidate. In terms of qualifications, Fan Zhongyan is the old minister of the territory; In terms of ability, Fan Gong is also enough to take on this great responsibility.

Ouyang Shuo's original arrangement was also to let Xiao He replace Fan Zhongyan as the director of administration at the right time. Helplessly, Fan Zhongyan is taking the lead in implementing the evaluation of territorial officials, and it is not appropriate to transfer at this time.

Besides, Ouyang Shuo is now absent from Shanhai City for a long time, and he also needs a person like Xiao He who operates in an all-round way to replace him and handle the daily government affairs of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate.

Therefore, now is not the right time for Ouyang Shuo to expect.

After thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to temporarily let Xiao He serve as the first director of science, education, culture and health. This appointment can be regarded as paving the way for Xiao He to follow further in the future.

After all, the impact of this change on the territory is too far-reaching to be assessed. Once Xiao He completes this important task, his seniority in the territory will not be inferior to that of any minister.

It just so happens that Xiao He is now in charge of the daily government affairs of the Metropolitan Protectorate and concurrently serves as the director of science, education, culture and health, which is also helpful for him to carry out reforms in the two major fields of education and medical care.

As a result, it also once again exposed the dilemma of Shanhai City in the civil and official field. Ouyang Shuo is now treating Xiao He as a universal treasure, and where there is a need, let him nail him.

Other than that, there is no one available. (To be continued.) )
