Chapter 227 Preparing for nine-year compulsory education
The whole hall was in a mess with ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Your Majesty is a fool, and these loyal ministers are really worried.
Xu Mochen smiled, waiting for these people to speak one by one, and waved to the waiter to record them.
After howling for a while, seeing that the emperor still didn't care, everyone put away their tear ducts.
Have you finished talking? It’s my turn to finish talking.
Xu Mochen cleared his throat, and everyone pricked up their ears.
"There is some misunderstanding here," he said calmly, "you didn't grasp what I meant.
When I promote and recruit children from poor families, I do not intend to bring them to the court in large numbers, or to serve as officials in government offices in various prefectures and counties."
Everyone was stunned. What, you are not going to be an official.
"I want these people because I want them to participate in learning," Xu Mochen continued, "What they are learning is not the way of saints, classical books, etc.
For example, some people learn mathematics...ah...
Arithmetic, you know arithmetic."
The courtier nodded, he still knows arithmetic.
"This is very useful. Don't underestimate it. It can be used for opening a store or making grain and grass statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs." Xu Mochen gave the reason.
That's it... that's right, the human race is different from the cultivators, they need to rely on their brains to calculate.
"Some are studying medicine and chemistry. Of course, some Chinese studies are also involved," Xu Mochen said eloquently, "In short, my purpose is not to place them as officials."
It turns out that's the case. The threat is much smaller when I think about it this way.
But after all, the Prime Minister is Jiang, old and spicy: "I dare to ask Your Majesty, I don't know what the use is of letting these people learn these things."
"It's useful." Hunjun said that to promote the four modernizations, he needs all kinds of talents. "It involves all aspects. If they learn it, they can promote it in the next step."
The prime minister understood: "Your Majesty, you intend to popularize the three religions and nine streams among the people."
In Daqian, orthodox literature and Taoism are the ways of saints, and the rest are miscellaneous studies.
Now the emperor plans to vigorously promote miscellaneous studies, what is the use of this thing
"Yes," Xu Mochen was sure, "I think these miscellaneous studies also contain a lot of truth and should be popularized among the people.
So I plan to take it step by step and select talents from poor families. After training, they will become teachers.
This is the first step to start the popularization of nine-year compulsory education among the people."
No one quite understands what it means specifically, but they understand.
The emperor wants to engage in miscellaneous studies.
Speaking of this miscellaneous knowledge, it is also useful, and many of them are skills introduced to mortals by cultivators.
If this is spread over a large area, it can improve the level of ordinary people to some extent.
As the quality of life of pigs increases, the pork will naturally become more delicious.
Great, Your Majesty is a rare wise man!
The Prime Minister lowered his head and frowned. He was caught off guard by the plan and needed to think about it.
The brain cells of the immortal cultivator are still very active. He has calculated hundreds of possibilities and found no problem.
As for miscellaneous studies, there is nothing that can be put on the stage if it is taught in three ways.
Even if a child from a poor family becomes the leader, there will be no problem if the orthodoxy is in the hands of the immortal cultivators.
This matter seems to be supported.
Thinking about it, he held his head high and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but the old minister is ignorant. After your Majesty's enlightenment, now I am enlightened. This policy is really good."
The backbone of the argument was confirmed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see, some technical techniques also need to be taught and promoted."
"Yes, what your Majesty said is a ground-breaking event, and the ministers and others will definitely go all out to implement it."
"Many talents are actually involved in the Ministry of Industry, which is gratifying."
……
In the main hall, the atmosphere returned to harmony and peace.
"I just had a sudden idea," Xu Mochen kept smiling, "The literacy movement is a long-term process and cannot be achieved overnight, so it requires the concerted efforts of all the lovers."
Although they were tricked, overall, the courtiers still got what they wanted.
Through the imperial examination, a large number of officials who wanted to become immortals were recruited, and various departments were added to further control the top and bottom officials.
At that time, the emperor will be truly alone. Think about it, the situation will be better than now.
As for the Board of Directors, once the Emperor loses his hands and feet, it is only a matter of time before they are killed.
Your Majesty likes to do miscellaneous studies and loves children from poor families, so let him do it.
After a court meeting, there were ups and downs, but everyone was happy.
Xu Mochen returned to the imperial study. The news from the previous dynasty had already reached the harem.
"Your Majesty is planning to engage in nine-year compulsory education." After all, Shen Zhining is the same time traveler. She understands Xu Mochen's plan best. "Starting from the National Medical Center and then to the Institute, I actually have a foundation for some knowledge."
Medicine, chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc. are all involved in the institute to some extent.
"But the systematic courses are very different and require rigorous teaching materials," Shen Zhining did not hide it, "I can't learn this thing."
There is no complete set of teaching materials for nine-year compulsory education in Du Niang.
"I'll think of a way," Xu Mochen gritted his teeth, "If it doesn't work, we will slowly compile it based on the incomplete information."
"I have read the information provided by Concubine Xian before," Gu Jinge said truthfully, "Many of the words are still different from those of Da Qian."
The most intuitive metaphor is the difference between simplified Chinese characters and traditional Chinese characters.
"All are based on the new textbook fonts," Xu Mochen concluded without thinking, "In this way, the seal left by the immortal cultivators can be more completely cut off."
Mi Luo listened on the side and understood something: "Hunjun, I didn't expect you to make such a loud calculation.
If you want to cut off the relationship between Wen Dao and the world of ten directions, not only Wen Fa Sect, there are probably a lot of people who want to kill you."
Xu Mochen didn't care: "It's already a lot now, and I don't have to add more fire."
Mi Luo blinked, suddenly feeling that this foolish king was interesting.
Xu Mochen knew everyone's worries: "Actually, it's not that difficult. After all, most of the people in Daqian are illiterate."
He explained it by the way.
Educating illiterate people is easy to accept as long as they are not idiots and are like writing on a white paper.
On the contrary, it is more difficult for the gentry and the cultivators of the original Wenfa sect to receive modern education.
"So," Shen Zhining pinched her chin, "Your Majesty's move is to secretly attack Chen Cang and draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron."
Gu Jinge shook his head: "It is really unlucky for the courtiers to meet an emperor like you. They think everything is in their own plan, but everything is done according to His Majesty's wishes."
It is simply despicable and shameless.
Xu Mochen was not angry either: "Okay, the main argument has been made. Next, I need my concubines and me to work hard day and night."
The two concubines said there was no problem.
Mi Luo, on the other hand, listened with interest: "This trip to the capital is not in vain, it looks like we can watch a good show."
It’s much more interesting than staying in the Dragon Palace.
