Great Blue Night Watchman

Chapter 204 Haining New Learning

When the people in Jiangtan heard the news, they were even more excited. Who would have thought that the precarious refugees could actually have their own school? Can refugee children actually study? What I didn’t say, tighten your belt and fight to death!

Two hundred thousand people left the half-finished houses unfinished and concentrated on building the school. It only took a month. The school was basically completed, with hundreds of large classrooms, hundreds of staff dormitories, platform integration, and complete greening. , a huge stone was erected in front of the door, waiting for the number one scholar to inscribe the name of the school in his own hand.

Teachers were also in place one after another, running around mountains and mountains, Hongyan passed the message as if it was free of charge, and finally attracted seven like-minded friends (translation: doing nothing). Jiangtan itself also has teacher resources, such as Zeng Shigui Former teacher Li Ping'an, although his academic qualifications were nothing but a failure, which made people look down upon him, but the news that Zeng Shigui passed the imperial examination made old Li feel proud - what happened to me if I didn't pass the examination? My disciple is ranked third in the imperial examination! You Jinshi and great scholars, let’s compare...

The new school was completed, and Duke Zhuangyuan also returned.

Today, we must take advantage of this trend to really promote the school and enroll students immediately...

Lin Su came to the gate of the college and looked around. Haha, they really made fun of this cement. The school's cement applications are everywhere, in houses, land, rockeries, ditches, pavilions, everything!

It's a bit modern.

At the gate of the school, Baoshan and several great scholars were waiting for him. As soon as Lin Su arrived, Baoshan took a step forward and said, Third Young Master, I spent ten thousand taels of silver on your old lady, let's see if it's worth it.

Lin Su laughed loudly: Ten thousand taels is nothing. Sir, you are so kind to me, and I won't exchange it for millions of dollars! I will also be a family, and all the professors and teachers who work in the college will be paid.

Baoshan's eyes widened: How much?

Virtue!

Lin Sudao: Let's compare it with Qiankun Academy. I'll triple whatever he gives me!

The expressions of those calm professors all changed.

Those who come to Jiangtan to teach the refugees actually have some mental disorders and do things with emotion. Many people just can't resist Baoshan's lobbying and plan to come and work for a few days before running away. However, When I came to this river beach, I was stimulated by the new appearance of the river beach. I was in the dilemma of whether to do it or not, whether to do it for a short period of time or for a long time. Let’s not do it. I’m a bit reluctant to live in such a novel place. Let’s do it. The great scholar also needs money. Yes, you need to know that a scholar is a symbol of status. He must have a family and servants. To support a large family, you can't be too tough (Baoshan is an exception. He is a humble man with only one son and no children. If he has money, he can buy it. liquor).

The salary of a professor at the Confucian level is very high. At Qiankun Academy, the salary of a professor at the Confucian level is 30 taels per month. Only with such a high salary can the detached independence of a Confucian scholar be maintained.

When Lin Su opened his mouth, it was three times?

If Jiang Tan invites ten great scholars, it will be 1,000 taels per month. Can you really afford it?

Lin Su dispelled everyone's concerns with one sentence: I don't know much about Da Ru's salary. Let's do this. I will give the college 5,000 taels of silver per month as the salary of the faculty and staff, and Dean Baoshan will allocate it by himself.

5,000 taels per month?

Everyone was stunned.

Including mountain climbing.

Baoshan's eyes were full of suspicion: You said 5,000 taels a month?

Yes! In addition, the college has to charge some tuition fees for enrollment. This part of the tuition fees is used as the daily maintenance of the college.

When this point of view was raised, everyone was shocked again. Charges?

This is not consistent with the purpose of the establishment of the college. This is a homeless river beach. Since it is a charity, shouldn't it be free? If we talk about money, wouldn't we trample all the noble scholars into the mud? The feelings are gone...

Sister Chen saw everyone's expressions were wrong and quickly stood up to explain.

Dear gentlemen, my son-in-law is also based on long-term considerations. Anything that is free will not last long. For example, the coal on the river beach could have been given to the refugees for free, but based on long-term considerations, he still set a very low price. Price, it turns out that this method is the truly effective method...

Several great scholars looked at each other and slowly changed.

Lin Sudao: With the payment mechanism, the villagers will consider for themselves which children are suitable for studying and which children do not need to. After spending money, they are more concerned about whether their children have learned real things. The students themselves, Only then can you really work hard. As for the tuition, it doesn’t need to be too much. Half a tael of silver a year is enough. With this little money, it will not be a difficult thing for the homeless people on the riverbank in the near future.

An old man beside Baoshan nodded slowly: The Number One Scholar is right! If you don't pay the money, the villagers will definitely put all their sons into the school. There are too many people to manage...

A new consensus was reached in this way.

The funding problem has been solved, and the initial ideas about the operation of the college have become clear.

Next is the issue of curriculum.

For Baoshan and those great scholars, there is basically no room for discussion. Private schools and colleges all over the world have the same template. The teachers use the Four Books and Five Classics to teach. Over a long period of time, they can always make some gold out of the garbage. After you come out, even if one of the 100 students you teach gets a Jinshi, this life will be worth it.

But no one thought that the topics that needed the least discussion were the ones that were the most heatedly discussed.

Lin Su insisted on teaching by category.

What is classified teaching? For students who have a future in scientific examinations, they should be educated according to the traditional education model.

But for the vast majority of people, teaching them arithmetic and literacy is enough.

Ding Chengru, the great scholar who had just stood up to support Lin Su, was angry: Zhuangyuanlang, if you study, you don't follow the holy way but follow the evil way. This is misleading your children! If the Number One Scholar insists on doing this, he will stop teaching and go back to Doufang Mountain!

This great Confucian was a highly respected senior, impeccable both academically and as a person. Baoshan went to great lengths to invite him down from the mountain. Afterwards, when Baoshan invited other people around, they all treated him as his own. Benchmark, you see Ding Chengru is here, why would he come if the place is not good? He's already gone, so it's not shameful for you to go...

Therefore, he is basically the backbone of the Daru team.

As soon as he left, Daru's team fell apart on the spot.

I am anxious to hold the mountain...

Lin Sudao: Ding Daru, you have also participated in the palace examination, but I don't know how many people took part in the palace examination and how many people were accepted?

Which session?

There were 45,000 applicants, and 441 were admitted! How?

Ding Chengru stiffened his neck and responded coldly to him.

Lin Sudao: This is just a level in the palace examination! Let's talk about the county examination, township examination, and general examination... The county examination will get five out of 100, the township examination will get three out of 100, the general examination will get two out of 100, and the palace examination will get one out of 100, that's it. Let's take passing the imperial examination as a criterion for being a useful talent to the country. Can you tell me, if millions of children enter school, how many of them will eventually become useful to the country? And how many will be able to pass the imperial examination and become a pillar of the country?

Ding Chengru was completely numb. Millions of children?

Five out of 100 are awarded in the county examination, three are awarded out of 100 in the township examination, two are awarded out of 100 in the general examination, one is awarded out of 100 in the palace examination...

How to calculate the number of people in between?

Is this an arithmetic test question?

No one can calculate such a big number!

A clear voice came: Millions of children enter the school, and five out of 100 are chosen in the county examination, 50,000! Three out of 100 are chosen in the township examination, 1,500 people; 2 out of 100 are chosen in the provincial examination, 30 people; One is chosen out of 100 in the palace examination, Not a single person arrived.”

Lin Su raised his eyes and saw Lu Yi.

Everyone was stunned.

This woman can actually tell such a complicated arithmetic answer?

Is that right?

Lin Su smiled: That's right! There are 200,000 refugees in Haining Riverside, and only 50,000 of them are suitable for school. If we run a school purely based on the standards of the imperial court, we will end up spending so much money on a school with high hopes. , can only train one and a half people who are useful to the country, don’t you think it’s a waste?”

Ding Daru said: Nonsense! Reading sages' books, reading one point will bring you one point of benefit, reading ten points will bring ten points of benefit, how can there be such a thing as waste?

If Lin Su didn't argue with him, he was worried that the old antique would get angry and run away, so he could only use some strategies to explain the truth to everyone...

What is the fundamental purpose of running a school in Jiangtan? In order to enable the children of refugees to study.

It's good to be a pillar of the country, but after all, this is a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses. There are too few people who can break out of the siege, and we can't put all the refugee children on this road.

Ding Daru just said it right. Reading is useful. Even if you can't pass the science examination, you can write your own name, write letters, understand other people's letters, settle accounts and do business, and be able to talk things through. Truth, it’s good to know some principles of life, right? Ding Daru?

This is true! Ding Daru's expression softened slightly.

Lin Su strikes while the iron is hot, let's do this. Our college is divided into two parts. There are several great scholars who specialize in students who are responsible for scientific examinations. The classes you offer are called scientific classes.

And I recruit some additional teachers to teach students some practical skills, such as arithmetic, literacy, and craftsmanship skills. They are called art classes.

The academic class and the art class are connected horizontally. As for some great scholars, if they find good talents in the art class, they can also choose to go to the academic class to further their studies. If some students in the academic class are really not material for the scientific examination, they are willing to learn some practical skills, and You can transfer to the surgery class...

Several great scholars looked at each other, this seemed to work.

Those who are useful are chosen to participate in the scientific examination. It is indeed not for this material. You can also learn some practical skills without delay. And the most important thing is that Lin Su, the number one scholar, pays more attention to the scientific examination because he said , entering a technical class is called further study, which means that a technical class is better than a technical class...

Baoshan took a long breath: Old man Ding, if it were in the past, I, Baoshan, might have thought that the scientific examination was the only way out for students, but now, I have been a little shaken. Look at the land under your feet. This place was originally It was a cemetery for 100,000 refugees, but today it has become a place of hope for 200,000 refugees. How did this transformation come about? Is it based on scientific research? No, it is precisely based on the technology that we have always looked down on. '!

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Yes, as a scholar, you can look down on the low-level life skills, but why can this college be built? Just because of Lin Su's three factories, just because of his skillful transformation, just because his skills made money...

People can't eat the food of shu and throw away the pot of shu with their backhand, right?

Ding Daru's eyes slowly moved over. This glance seemed to have gone through ten years of mental journey, and it was firmly fixed on Lin Su's face: Mr. Lin, when I come to the river beach, I hug the mountain to invite you. On the one hand, on the other hand, On the one hand, I am also attracted by Third Young Master’s ambition to have the world in mind. Now that Third Young Master has determined the route, I am also willing to give it a try!”

Lin Su bowed deeply: Seniors can have such a big heart. Su admires them so much. It is a great blessing for the people of Jiangtan.

Ding Daru smiled: They say that Third Young Master is deviant. Third Young Master, you have to be more relaxed. Some of us old men can't keep up with you.

Lin Su smiled and said: When it comes to being deviant, I do have one thing that I'm going to tell you about in detail...

Everyone's faces froze slightly, is it really true? Tell me……

Lin Su said every word: Since Haining Academy has an unprecedented 'surgery' class, the rules are a little different. There is no distinction between men and women in the skills class!

Sister Chen, Lu Yi and other women next to them began to listen to their husband arguing with a few old men, and they listened with great interest. When they suddenly heard this, they were all shocked.

Women's admission?

My husband, are you...are you crazy?

There has never been any precedent in the world for women to enter school, never!

Learning is sacred in this world, and women are not close to the sacred school!

This is almost an age-old practice!

Ding Chengru was also shocked and shook his head violently: No! Never! Absolutely not! The holy way cannot tolerate women entering school...

Baoshan also shook his head violently. It is absolutely forbidden for a girl to enter school with her eyes wandering wildly!

Several other great scholars also shook their heads at the same time. This move is absolutely unacceptable. If the Third Young Master insists on pursuing this evil path, then the old man and others will say goodbye collectively...

Lin Su's enthusiasm was met with a bucket of ice water in his head. His eyes moved to Lu Yi and Sister Chen, and the two women shook their heads gently at him.

Lin Su let out a long sigh in his heart...

Things that are taken for granted in modern society are a natural chasm here!

That day on the Western Mountain, he came up with this idea to seek the right for women to receive education, but reality gave him a slap in the face. Afterwards, the temple came up with a very interesting question in the palace examination, which was equivalent to rejecting his suggestion.

Now, he wants girls to learn some practical skills, but he still gets rejected.

He couldn't do the work of these great scholars, and even the people around him didn't understand it. This can't be blamed on them. It can only be said that thousands of years of practice have given people too deep a mindset. With his own strength, he can't do it. A way to remove the mountain that weighs on everyone's hearts.

That’s it! That’s it!

Let's figure it out slowly...

Lin Su compromised, and the admissions rules were changed to include both men and women.

After his compromise, several great scholars breathed a sigh of relief, and everything that followed was entirely up to him.

On the signboard in front of the school, Baoshan asked him to answer the question, but he refused. In the end, he still asked him to answer the question. The four characters of Haining Academy are thick and boundless. As soon as he put the question, the surrounding noise disappeared instantly. This is the ultimate literary spirit of a great scholar. Unique technique.

But there is a plaque next to it, which is a plaque to encourage learning.

Several great scholars said in unison: Third Young Master, no matter what, you have to inscribe this plaque. You have written countless colorful poems. Today, please write a poem to encourage learning.
