Education for millions of newborns every year!
Charlotte's reminder made Emperor Zhu Da stunned. Only then did he realize the problem that he had ignored all this time.
educate!
You can’t just care about life!
"In 1865, there were only 230,000 newborns in Nanhua. At that time, the gender ratio of the population was very disparate, with more boys and fewer girls. Even in 1869, there were only 370,000 newborns in Nanhua. As of now,
Daming’s schools can meet current needs, but..."
Li Weimin, the Minister of Culture and Literature of the Ming Dynasty, thought for a while and said.
"According to the current level of school construction, it will be very difficult for us to provide 2 million places in the first grade of primary school in four years. This difficulty does not refer to school buildings and classrooms. It is nothing more than building and expanding schools. We
With so many construction companies and cheap new immigrants, building a house is only a matter of months."
Which industry is the most developed in Ming Dynasty?
Of course it is the real estate industry, which is somewhat similar to the other world, but the difference is that the real estate industry is not regarded as a pillar industry in Ming Dynasty, but it is a pillar industry. The construction industry in Ming Dynasty is completely based on urban construction and development.
In terms of housing provided for new immigrants, although there is a small amount of commercial real estate, it is simply not worth mentioning. After all, "company-issued housing" has become a tradition as early as the company period. Nowadays, many enterprises in Ming Dynasty still follow this tradition.
If you invest in building a house, the employee pays a deposit as a down payment, and pays monthly rent, the property can be transferred directly to the individual's name after the lease term expires 20 years later.
Why the economic crisis has little impact on Ming Dynasty? The final analysis is because Ming Dynasty has built millions of houses every year in recent years. Don’t underestimate these tens of millions of houses. It requires millions of tons of steel and millions of houses.
Tons of cement and a large amount of masonry, this is because a large number of farm houses are made of brick and do not require steel reinforcement.
And the continuous flow of new immigrants provides sufficient and cheap labor. The construction industry in Ming Dynasty is really developed now! As a pillar industry, it not only consumes a large amount of steel, cement and other raw materials, but also absorbs a large number of jobs.
So there is definitely no problem in building a school building. As for the land, the government can just allocate it directly. Anyway, there is a lot of land in Ming Dynasty.
So what's the problem?
"The biggest problem is teachers!"
After asking this question, Emperor Zhu Da raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Then Li Weimin continued.
"Two million degrees, that is, 40,000 classes. If there are 2.5 teachers in each class, 100,000 teachers will be needed. This was four years ago. What about six years from now? It will take 4 million degrees, which is 20
Tens of thousands of teachers. If we want to solve this problem, we must prepare in advance by establishing more normal schools and recruiting more students. As long as the teaching force is well prepared, let alone 4 million or 6 million.
, even if it’s 10 million, there’s no problem at all!”
After a pause, Li Weimin specifically added.
"Of course, education funding must be guaranteed. After all, without financial support from the central government, comprehensive compulsory education cannot cover everyone. Especially the financial resources of Hispanic settlement areas in Shanxi, Zhili and other places are generally backward, but they
It is also necessary to receive compulsory education, speak the Chinese language, and be Chinese people. Without compulsory compulsory education, how can they become loyal subjects of the empire?"
In fact, the Ming Dynasty never ignored the education of Hispanic children, and even issued corresponding laws to provide subsidies to schools that adopted the imperial education syllabus. The premise of the education syllabus was that... they must receive Chinese education.
After ten years of hard work, there are almost no primary schools and middle schools teaching Spanish in the former Chile. In the former Argentina, the number of primary schools and middle schools teaching Spanish is also decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye. There is no other way but according to the education syllabus.
Only the textbooks that have been formulated can enjoy the tax exemption policy for textbooks. Spanish primary and secondary school textbooks, of course... do not comply with the education syllabus.
Ming Dynasty has never engaged in discrimination. This is just a legal guideline. Of course, those who cannot pass the teacher qualification examination during the transition period will definitely not be able to continue to engage in the teaching profession, and naturally there will be no wage subsidies.
"There is no problem with funding. In recent years, the income of state-owned farms has been getting better and better every year. The government's financial resources are still very sufficient. The Ministry of Education and Culture will draft a plan first, but remember not to encourage others. The Ming Dynasty needs teachers who are real, but they definitely don't need teachers who are just cheating.
.Especially primary education is an education that everyone must receive. Good teachers can benefit people for life. This is why I regard teachers as the "holy office". After all, "the rise and fall of a country's destiny depends on education, and the rise and fall of education depends on it."
"Teacher Yu, please remember this!"
In addition to the historical factor of respecting teachers and valuing education in China, there is also a more critical factor in using teachers as a "holy position". The Ming Dynasty was founded in a foreign land. If you want to create a new China in the New World, you must develop education. Therefore, teachers
It is a "special profession" that shoulders a sacred vocation. Under this concept, teachers need to have noble personalities and excellent professional ethics. Of course, their status and income are no less than or even higher than civil servants. In daimyo
It is definitely the most popular among all professions.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I know that this matter is related to the great cause of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never dare to slack off in the slightest."
After slightly nodding his head, Emperor Zhu asked about a lot of educational matters, such as vocational education, adult night schools and other educational matters. After all, the Ming Dynasty was founded on industry and commerce, so vocational education was very important, and most of the new immigrants were illiterate.
This requires literacy and adult education. These things are all related to the future of the Ming Dynasty without exception, and we naturally need to understand them.
The two of them chatted in the study for more than an hour. After Li Weimin exited the study, Emperor Zhu Da picked up his small notebook and wrote on it something related to education, teacher training and degrees.
The emperor also had his own little notebook. In addition to writing down some important things that needed to be followed up, the emperor would also write down the names of some people, both those who needed to settle accounts and those who could be promoted in the future.
After writing the educational content that needed to be followed up in the small notebook, Emperor Zhu Da naturally looked through the previously recorded content. The ones circled with a red pen had of course been processed. The ones that were not circled were still being processed.
Not handled well.
"Divide Japan?"
Looking at the contents written down on one of the pages, Emperor Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his face looked a little... strange.
In fact, even now, when he saw the contents written in the notebook, he still found it quite funny.
This was the intelligence sent back by the "submarine" hidden in the British government. The British judged that Ming Dynasty would carve up Japan with Russia, so they were determined to do their best to prevent Ming Dynasty's "expansion".
"Stop it with all your strength?"
Looking at the several plans of the British, all of them are inseparable from occupation, division, and support, which are typical imperialist operations, Emperor Zhu Da couldn't help but said to himself.
"Even though the Japanese are not big, they still suffer a lot. It's true that hemp strings are cut at the smallest places, and bad luck only seeks out the poor. This unreasonable disaster in Japan really comes at the right time..."
