Chapter 523 Education is the foundation of the country!
"How to avoid new learning becoming a castle in the air..."
As my thoughts flowed, this sentence was also frozen in the emperor's mind.
It is very obvious that new learning needs to be completely embedded in this era.
The most fundamental thing is thinking concepts, or ideologically reversing the contempt of the paths of arithmetic.
This is whether it is the various subtle measures before, or the purchase of horse bones for a thousand gold coins this time, and the most important sage of the Confucius Mansion, the sage.
All are for ideological changes.
Nowadays, ideological changes have begun to take shape and are becoming increasingly fierce. If you want to avoid the silence of a waste of money.
The implementation of reality must also be put on the agenda!
That is...how to spread new studies from the Martial Arts Academy's engineering department to the whole country!
Obviously, the best way is naturally to run a school!
But it is obviously not easy to do this, how to do it, and how to fit the existing education system and imperial examination system.
Once upon a time, the emperor thought that this era was an ignorant era, and reading was the privilege of a few people, and their knowledge was also monopolized by a few people.
But after going deep into this era, he realized that these things were still too one-sided.
Just like the previous Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, attached great importance to education. He promoted education with the concept of "governing the country with education first and education with schools as the basis".
In the eighth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the school tribute system was issued, and local governments divided into two schools, one was the school houses run by prefectures, prefectures and counties, namely the prefectures.
There is a fixed number of places, and students are provided with food every day. One is to run a school in the village, and every thirty-five companies run a "society" and students have no fixed quota.
Those who are admitted to prefectures, prefectures and counties are excellent children of officials and ordinary people, who are over fifteen years old and have read the Four Books.
Subjects include classics, history, etiquette, law, music, archery, calculation and other items. There are small exams every month and major exams once every three years. Those with excellent grades will be sent to the province first, and then the best one will be sent to the capital. The wife can accompany you. After all the fees are completed, the emperor will be summoned and promoted in different subjects.
The positions he appointed include censor, prefect, county magistrate, instructor, experience, county magistrate, clerk, clerk of the department, clerk of the five governments, etc.
As for the teachers in the village school, the county magistrates and county magistrates choose to take charge of those who have learned. The village school also has a major test every three years, and both teachers and students have an upgrade system. The style of reading and education in the Ming Dynasty was far beyond that in the Tang and Song dynasties.
However, no matter how good the system is, it cannot withstand the use of time. With the deterioration of the system, official schools are almost useless. The education system of the Ming Dynasty gradually evolved into government-assisted private schools, that is, private schools are encouraged.
In this way, major private schools were rampant, and although they also played a great role in education, they also provided a lot of talents for the Ming Dynasty.
However, private schooling, the word private, can also fully explain everything.
Most of the people who can run private scholars are wealthy local gentry and landlords.
The main purpose of these gentry landlords in running private schools is also to their own children. As the official school becomes lonely and decayed, poor children naturally have to go to private schools run by various landlords and gentry.
Anyone with a little talent in studying will naturally be attracted and invested by gentry and landlords from all over the country. As time goes by, there will naturally be various complex relationships.
The party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of Donglin, the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the loneliness of official schools and the prevalence of private schools are obviously not unrelated!
As the emperor, if he wants to sprinkle the seeds of new learning, it is naturally impossible for him to rely on private learning. Even the emperor is unwilling to exist in Daheng Chao.
Education, and the education embedded in new learning, is completely related to the fundamentals of the country, the unity of ideology, the destiny of the country, and the future of the nation.
Although private school has many benefits, it is more harmful than good than Daheng's national conditions!
“Public school…”
The emperor murmured softly, then looked at Wang Wu who had just walked into the hall.
"How much more money does the treasury need?"
Wang Wu was also a little unresponsive when he asked suddenly, but soon the answer sounded: "Report to Your Majesty, the treasury now has 98,652 taels of gold, 2,530 taels of silver, and 95,672 s of grain."
The emperor frowned, and in the end, he didn't say much.
He naturally knew the situation of the treasury.
Under the special system of Daheng, the wealth of the treasury is naturally widespread, including taxes from major border towns, garrisons, and Liaodong, as well as taxes and part of the profits of the money shops and merchants, as well as the tariff revenue of Ningbo Maritime Shipping.
Although there are many inputs, there are more people who need money and food.
Today, the Daheng treasury is almost useless. Without the treasury to allocate silver, the court could not even pay the salaries of officials. In fact, the treasury has already assumed the treasury responsibilities, and after Daheng established the country, he was in a state of inadequate income.
Today's treasury still has this amount of deposit, and most of them are due to the tariff income paid by Ningbo Maritime Manufacturing Corporation.
The rest is what he, the emperor, saved from his teeth in case of emergency needs.
And rebuild an official school system...
This little money from the treasury is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket and is not worth mentioning.
"Money..."
The emperor sighed and couldn't help feeling helpless.
At the beginning of his leadership, he was worried about money and food, and later he was in power, and he was also worried about money and food. Now, he is the emperor and founded a country, but he is still worried about money and food.
It can be expected that he will still worry about money for many years to come.
He has to do too many things, and the practice of being poor is poor, and reform is implemented. When he is rich, he will naturally have practice of being rich.
Thoughts circulate, and the emperor waved his hand.
"Go and let Huang Jin, Minister of Rites, come here."
Hearing this, Wang Wu was stunned.
"I'll go now."
After reacting, Wang Wu quickly took the order and retreated respectfully.
"Master, why are you coming out again?"
Outside the hall, seeing Wang Wu walking out hurriedly, the little eunuch couldn't help asking.
"Why are you still here? Didn't you let me study in the inner world?"
Wang Wu glanced at his youngest son and frowned.
The little eunuch subconsciously dodged and quickly replied: "The teacher is in good health, so I'm going to see the doctor."
Wang Wu nodded, waved his hand, and replied casually: "Your Majesty wants to summon Huang Jin, the Minister of Rites."
After saying that, Wang Wu shook his head and his face was gloomy.
Who doesn’t know that the Ministry of Rites, one of the six ministries that govern etiquette, almost all became transparent in this Daheng Dynasty.
There are four cabinet masters in the cabinet, one of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, and the Inspectorate.
The emperor of the Ministry of Justice also attached great importance to it and ordered the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to prepare the Daheng Rule.
However, the Ministry of Personnel has not yet established a Minister of Personnel, and is personally in charge of the emperor.
Only the Ministry of Rites has no sense of existence.
If that's all, no one cares.
But Huang Jin, the Minister of Rites, was an old stubborn person. At least, in Wang Wu's opinion, this was a thorn in his eyes!
Before this old guy was promoted to the Minister of Rites, he often made suggestions, and the eunuchs suffered a disaster, and even pointed the finger at him, the chief supervisor of the inner court many times!
In the past, today, I never summoned this old stubborn man alone. Although he was angry, he didn't care much. After all, a transparent existence in the court could pose any threat.
But now, His Majesty summoned him alone...
That must be an important thing. If this old stubborn person is valued, then his right to speak will be different...
思虑流转,王五神色亦是愈发阴沉.
The incident when Duke Yasukuni pressed him back with one sentence is still vivid in my mind...
