4356 (1659 AD), March 30th, Xiyang, the capital of the Yue Kingdom.
New Hope School, a model boarding school that took two months to build, held a grand unveiling ceremony.
Mi Youde, a bachelor of the Yue Hanlin Academy and the principal of New Hope School.
He dressed in costumes and took all the school staff to welcome Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, at the school gate to inspect the school.
Principal Mi Youde looked a little nervous. He was appointed by the Yue King Bai Yuangui as the number one scholar in the new subject.
The Hanlin bachelor's degree is an official position that has no practical application but is very noble. He can go to the Yue Palace to meet the Yue King Bai Yuangui at any time.
The power does not depend on the position, but on the relationship with the King of Yue.
Just looking at the size of the position, there is no eunuch who has the power to rule the country.
Mi Youde's first position was the principal of New Hope School.
Can this boarding school built according to his ideas succeed?
This will test whether he is a great talent who is the pillar of the country, or a mediocre person who can only talk nonsense.
New Hope School is successful. Mi Youde is a typical example of the king of Yue who bought horse bones for his daughter and has a keen eye for recognizing people.
New Hope School failed, and Mi Youde was a sycophant who only talked and deceived the king of Yue.
Mi Youde's future glory and wealth will be deeply bound to this New Hope School.
Only boarding schools could see the results of the three strategies he proposed in the imperial examination in a short period of time.
The other two policies, Vietnam's southward policy and industrial policy, cannot see results within a few years, but require decades of investment and persistence.
The rhythmic sound of the engine sounded, and Mi Youde was shocked.
He soon saw ten motorcycles heading down the road.
The guards of the King of Yue came to the school gate. They immediately got out of the car and stood in front of the gate with guns in hand.
The black car that King Yue was riding in drove into the front of New Hope School.
King Bai Yuangui of Yue stepped out of the car with his three adult sons.
Mi Youde immediately brought all the school staff forward to salute.
He looked at the three young masters from the corner of his eye, wondering which one of these three young masters would be the future crown prince?
He is now valued by the King of Yue and will not participate in the battle for the crown prince.
Mi Youde's purpose is to be loyal to the King of Yue, and whoever the King of Yue is loyal to.
The Yue King Bai Yuangui looked at Mi Youde and nodded with satisfaction.
"Mi Aiqing, I never thought that you would have built the boarding school in just over two months.
Boarding schools are related to Vietnam's century-old plan, especially the first boarding school in Xiyang, which is a model school for all boarding schools.
New Hope School can achieve good results, and I will promote boarding schools across the country.
The effect is really good, those smart countries will also imitate our country."
Mi Youde said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the future of our country lies in the primary school classroom.
Illiterates will have no future at all in the future of Yue.
Whether it is a factory or the army, there is a need for a large number of people who are both literate and disciplined.
Which country has fewer illiterates, which country is stronger.
In the future world, only strong countries have the right to survive."
Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, laughed and said happily: "Mi Aiqing said it very well."
He turned to look at the three princes and said with emphasis: "You must always remember this sentence.
Whether Vietnam can win in the future has already laid the foundation in primary school classrooms."
The three young masters said in unison: "Father, we understand."
Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, smiled and said: "Mi Aiqing, I just want to take a walk today and introduce you to New Hope School."
Principal Mi Youde took Yue Wang and his party into New Hope School.
With a wave of his hand, most of the staff at New Hope School returned to their respective posts.
Mi Youde was surrounded by only a few senior school officials who accompanied him to receive the Yue King Bai Yuangui.
They walk to New Hope School and the playground is very spacious.
The playground is made of compacted rammed earth, surrounded by cement roads connecting teaching buildings, dormitories, toilets and other buildings.
On the small high platform in front of the center of the playground, there is a bust of Yue King Bai Yuangui, next to it is the national flag pole, with the Vietnamese national flag flying on it.
There is a group of children playing football on the playground. Some of them have black hair and eyes, but most of them have colorful hair and eyes.
Principal Mi Youde said: “New Hope School is divided into primary school and middle school.
There are a total of 8,367 students in the primary school and 3,234 students in the secondary school.
According to the minister's previous idea, all boarding schools will accept aboriginal children and educate them.
Danchen consulted educational scholars at Imperial Capital University via telegram.
Based on the questionnaire provided by this scholar, a questionnaire survey was conducted among students, parents, and some celebrities.
Through a questionnaire survey, I learned that there were some errors and omissions in my previous ideas.
Chen's fully closed boarding school may bring greater conflicts.
The aboriginal families probably thought that their children were being snatched away.
Their children were in boarding schools and probably died silently and were buried in an unknown pit.
This will strengthen the indigenous people's hatred and distrust of the court.
This kind of hatred and distrust will slow down the development of the Yue Kingdom and affect the Yue Kingdom's path to hegemony.
The minister is preparing to adjust the policy so that parents of students can visit the school at any time.
Students have two days off every month, and they can go home to spend time with their parents.
Our purpose is to educate young aboriginal people to become citizens of Vietnam, so that they can become the screws of Vietnam's development."
Bai Yuangui, King of Yue, praised: "The methods are gentler, which will reduce a lot of governance costs.
No matter what means Mi Aiqing uses, as long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, New Hope School will succeed."
When Principal Mi Youde heard the praise from Yue Wang Bai Yuangui, his expression did not change much, but his heart was filled with joy.
He pointed at the children of different races on the school playground.
“My original idea was that boarding schools would only recruit aborigines.
But this idea was widely criticized by education scholars at Beijing University.
The purpose of boarding schools is to cultivate talents who can be used by Vietnam.
These cultivated aboriginal talents are useless if they dare not cooperate with the Han people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Separate cultivation will also divide the aborigines and Han people into two distinct groups.
This method is not conducive to the stability of Vietnam.
The minister selected a certain proportion of Han Chinese and people who had already been Han Chinese to join the boarding school.
These students all became orphans due to various reasons.
Orphans are more suitable for boarding schools, where teachers can take care of them as they grow up.
Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty knew how to integrate Hu people into Chinese culture, use Han systems to govern the country, and turn Hu people into Han people.
Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
It is impossible for us, the future generations, to not even have this knowledge.
Chinese civilization emphasizes bloodline and culture.
Especially in Vietnam, the importance of culture should be emphasized to the outside world.
The marriage between the royal family and the nobles completely excludes the indigenous people. This is a tacit thing.
The nobles can do this, but they cannot propagate it to the bottom."
Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, laughed and said cheerfully: "I am not wrong about Mi Aiqing, you are indeed a talented person who can govern the country.
When you govern a country, you can't be too naive."
Principal Mi Youde led Yue Wang Bai Yuangui and his party into the teaching building.
They walked in the corridor and listened to the teacher's teaching voice coming from the classroom.
"Ah Bo to eat..."
"One one makes one, one two makes two..."
"At the beginning of man's life, his nature is good..."
"The Master said, learn and practice from time to time..."
"We live on the earth, which is a big round ball..."
The King of Yue Bai Yuangui smiled even more as he listened to the sound of reading.
"You still need to learn knowledge. I was still in the army at that time, and all soldiers were forced to learn to read.
Based on the experience of hundreds of wars, literate soldiers have a higher winning rate and they grow faster."
Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, asked doubtfully: "I heard that the teaching progress of these teachers is different.
Some people are still teaching Pinyin, and some have started to teach traditional Chinese culture."
Principal Mi Youde immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this is because the students' initial levels are different.
Some students are completely illiterate and they can only learn from scratch.
Some students have a certain background, especially the Han Chinese among them, and their progress is different.
Before the empire, people-to-people exchanges with the Kingdom of Spain were pretty good.
The Kingdom of Spain was defeated by the empire many times. The wise people in their country will also let their children learn our culture to strengthen themselves.
These people who already have a certain background don’t need to be taught from scratch.”
After Yue Wang Bai Yuangui visited New Hope School, he was generally satisfied.
"Mi Aiqing, after the establishment of the boarding school, it did not cause unrest among the indigenous people, and the students performed well.
I think boarding schools can be fully expanded.
Does Mi Aiqing think boarding schools are suitable for promotion now?”
Principal Mi Youde had long known that the Yue King Bai Yuangui would ask this question.
He had already prepared answers to the questions before.
"Your Majesty, New Hope School can recruit students so smoothly in Xiyang.
This is because the aboriginal people who stayed in Xiyang were all biased towards the Yue Kingdom and supported the development of the Yue Kingdom.
They were considered traitors by some indigenous forces in Vietnam.
Just because boarding schools can be successful in Xiyang does not mean they can be successful elsewhere.
The minister has conducted a visit and investigation. If boarding schools want to succeed in other places, the imperial court must introduce some policies."
In order for Principal Mi Youde to succeed in the policies he implements, he must coordinate with some policies.
The King of Yue, Bai Yuangui, looked at Principal Mi Youde and motioned for him to continue.
Mi Youde did a good job, his request was not difficult, and the Yue King Bai Yuangui was still willing to agree.
Mi Youde made the request anxiously: "Your Majesty, the bustle in the world is all for benefit; the bustle in the world is all for benefit.
If you want Aboriginal people to actively join boarding schools, there must be corresponding punishments and rewards.
Needless to say, punishment is to prevent one's children from joining their parents' school. First, they will be fined and imprisoned for a few days. If they still refuse, they will be imprisoned until they agree. If they are stubborn, they will be deprived of their custody rights.
With the thunderous deterrence method, I believe that most people will not object, but their motivation is not strong.
This is not conducive to the stability of the country. In addition to punishment, I believe there are also rewards.
There is no need for the court to provide monetary rewards. The limited funds of the court must be used in more important places.
I only want one policy: students who graduate from these boarding schools can take the imperial examination and join the army normally.
If you take the college examination and gain the title of scholar, you can be an eighth or ninth grade official in a county.
This has a strong appeal to many aborigines.
As long as the imperial court is willing to open up channels for the aborigines to rise,
They will be divided internally, and some people will actively integrate into the Yue Kingdom.
With such benefits as a carrot to attract them from the front, these people have sufficient motivation to send their children to boarding schools.
Through education, the State of Yue can turn these children into citizens of the State of Yue and contribute to the development of the State of Yue. Only then can this national policy be truly realized.
Policies from ancient times, carrots and sticks, are extremely effective means."
The King of Yue, Bai Yuangui, was a little moved after hearing this. He asked directly: "Mi Aiqing, I can give you this policy.
But you are confident that you can really transform aboriginal people into citizens who support our country through boarding schools."
Principal Mi Youde replied confidently: "Your Majesty, I have full confidence.
I didn’t just consult educational scholars from Imperial Capital University.
I also consulted scholars from the Imperial University of Humanities who specialize in studying the history and culture of European civilization.
The cornerstone of civilization is consensus formed through history and writing.
The reason why Qin Shihuang was great was that he promulgated policies with the same text and the same track, which allowed Chinese civilization to form a whole.
Even after more than 400 years of division between the Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a unified dynasty could still be formed.
The most critical thing for the inheritance of civilization is language.
The writing used by European civilization is phonetic writing.
Once the phonetic characters are dated, no one will be able to understand the contents of the books, even if there are still ancient books left.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If any expert or scholar says that he can understand it, this must be a lie.
It's a very simple reason. The crow of a cock and the barking of a dog can also be regarded as phonetic characters.
If you only hear the crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs, who knows the meaning of roosters and dogs?
Vietnam only needs to eliminate the Spanish language and cut off Spain and its heritage for one or two generations.
The history and culture of Spain will be lost forever.
The aboriginal people here only have one option: becoming Vietnamese citizens.
Boarding schools simply speed up the process.
Aboriginal people have learned Chinese and Chinese characters, and they only use Chinese and Chinese characters in their daily lives and work.
Everyone has a lazy side, and few people are willing to learn another language if they can't get any benefits.
This policy is not nonsense, the empire has always implemented this policy.
The empire has always used this method to rule the indigenous tribes in newly conquered territories.
Destroying its writing and destroying its history is an extremely effective means of governance.
We in Vietnam also have some Japanese immigrants.
After decades of hard work, the empire has completely erased Japanese writing, destroyed Japanese history and culture, and prevented it from being spread to the world.
Now, none of these immigrants self-identify as Japanese.
The empire's policy has been a great success, and after our country adopts it, we can achieve success even if we close our eyes."
When King Bai Yuangui of Yue heard what Principal Mi Youde said, he applauded excitedly.
"Mi Aiqing, I admire your studious side very much.
After hearing what Mi Aiqing said today, this king has more confidence in ruling the Yue Kingdom.
The policy requested by Mi Aiqing is approved by this king.
The Vietnamese cabinet will then formally promulgate this policy to help expand boarding schools across the country."
Principal Mi Youde bowed deeply and called out the great king Shengming.
