Mr. Zhu can clearly see the changes in people's hearts in recent years.
In the city! Outside the city! Two worlds!
"Should we learn Spanish now?"
"What a joke!"
Zhou Yuan did not dare to scold Magistrate Yin, but he did dare to complain about this new official document.
Spanish, where is it so easy to learn?
"Oh! I have asked a few friends. If you want to go to the school to study, they are willing to accept it, and it will not count the tuition for one year. You have a foundation in the Four Books and Five Classics, so it is good to learn some practical knowledge."
Mr. Zhu sighed softly. At this time, he couldn't bear to scold Zhou Yuan for not knowing etiquette. Anyone who has learned knowledge for a lifetime and comes to the end and is told that there is another exam to take will go crazy.
"Yes! Sir!"
A few people wanted to ask more questions, but Bai Gui stopped them at the right time, and they slowly left.
At this time, Mr. Zhu needs to rest.
It was spring at this time and the sun was shining brightly.
Several people walked out of the living room.
"The students in these schools are too much."
Bai Xiaowen muttered dissatisfiedly.
Unlike Confucian students like them who came from the imperial examination, students in these schools opened in Xi'an do not need to pass the county examination. They only need to have excellent grades in the school and obtain a certain ranking to enter the college examination directly. The government examination does not wait.
But this is just an old system from the Song Dynasty.
Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty created the Sanshe Law and abolished the imperial examination for a time. To promote talents for the country, examinations were conducted in Taixue, and Taixue students were divided into three categories: Shangshe, Neishe, and Waishe. Students with excellent grades were students in Shangshe.
Officials are awarded directly. Students in the inner residence can directly take the palace examination, while students in the lower residence can take the provincial and municipal examinations or pass the civil service examination before they can be appointed officials.
Old wine in new bottles!
In 1901, the imperial court promulgated the "School Election Encouragement Regulations", which stipulated that officials could be selected from outstanding graduates in the school. There was also the "Imperial School Regulations" in 1902, which stipulated that higher primary schools, middle schools, normal schools, and higher schools,
Graduates of the University Hall were given titles such as Auxiliary Students, Gongsheng Students, Juren, and Jinshi respectively. However, although this regulation was promulgated, it has not been implemented.
The same is true for students in these schools now. There is no need for county examinations. Those with good rankings can directly take the college examinations and government examinations.
In the country, this is understandable.
This is because the talents selected by the Eight-Guard Scholar Recruitment are really unskilled and cannot adapt to the development of the new era, let alone this time when the nation is in danger.
But for these Confucian scholars in the countryside, it was a devastating blow.
"My husband has said that he can recommend us to the school and exempt us from tuition for one year..."
Bai Gui's tone hesitated slightly. In this county examination, except for him, the remaining four people could pass the county examination, but when it comes to the government examination and the college examination, even without the translation subject, it is obviously difficult to pass both examinations.
Besides, the Qing court was in danger now. He had a problem, it would be easy to pass the imperial examination, and his status as the head of the county examination case was basically stable, so he chose this easiest path.
But for Lu Zhaopeng and others, the best way out is to learn practical knowledge in the school. Of course, he also has to take this opportunity to go to the school to learn practical knowledge, so that he can be useful.
The Four Books and Five Classics are only the foundation of middle school. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, if you did not learn Western learning, you would eventually fall behind. The education system in the previous life was only to enlighten the people's wisdom and to truly implement practical learning. Except for studying in specialized majors in universities, it was just a
Half-assed. Of course, some big guys don’t fall into this category.
In the reform of higher education, the so-called high school was originally just college preparatory courses.
The 633 academic system implemented in later generations is also called the 1922 new academic system, which was established by Amei Ken.
"That's all, let's go to school to learn Spanish first, and then try again when the government exam comes..."
With a sigh, several people had no choice but to accept this best choice.
If you study quickly, you might be able to pass the government examination. If you study slowly... then it can only be regarded as bad luck.
The tuition fees for studying in a school are quite expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary families.
Being able to be exempted from tuition for one year can be regarded as Mr. Zhu's hard work. However, it is also related to their grades. They are also Confucian students who passed the county examination, and they can be regarded as outstanding people, so it is easy to talk about it.
Except for normal students in the Normal School who do not need to pay tuition, students in all other schools must pay tuition. However, normal students also need to pay a deposit of ten silver dollars, which will be released after graduation.
In 1904, the "Outline of Academic Affairs" stipulated: "Tuition fees of five yuan shall be paid every month."
In other words, according to the regulations set by the Qing government, each school has to pay a minimum of five silver dollars per month to enroll students. However, there must be additional fees at the local level. The five yuan is only the most basic tuition fee, and there are other tuition and miscellaneous fees.
, meal expenses, etc.
Even if the Bai family and the Lu family go to school, they will suffer a lot of blood!
After Brother Xun's family fell into decline, he couldn't afford to go to school. So he chose to go to Jiangnan Naval Academy, which is equivalent to a military school. Tuition is free and subsidies are given.
But entering a military school is a fool's errand. It's no better than a normal college student. People with a little wealth will not choose these two tuition-free schools.
"By the way, Zhaopeng, your dad is researching how to make white pheasants into gourd chickens. Are you done with it?"
For a moment, everyone felt a little heavy.
Bai Gui changed the topic and asked.
Gourd chicken is a famous dish in Qin Province. According to legend, it was a royal dish in the Tang Dynasty. When officials came to Qin Province to taste the dishes, this gourd chicken was always the first famous dish.
However, the quality and taste of white pheasant are still different from local chicken.
This all needs improvement.
"My father has almost improved it. Although the texture cannot be compared with our Japanese Japanese chicken, the taste is quite novel and should be a big seller."
When this matter was mentioned, Lu Zhaopeng's face looked much better, and he was a little beaming.
Although the Lu family was a little "ashamed" of talking about the gourd chicken, after seeing the huge profits generated by the gourd chicken and the wealth it could bring to the entire Bailu Village, and its good reputation, they did not refuse.
Japanese chicken is a chicken produced in Sanyao Village, Xi'an City. Chickens raised in other places will not taste right.
"Well, before we go to school, we should also go back to the village..."
Bai Gui said.
Since they followed Bai Jiaxuan to Zishui County, they have been focusing on their studies, so they have not returned to the village. They have only sent letters to people from neighboring villages who came to the county.
After going to Xi'an City, I don't know when I will come back, so I might as well go back to the village.
"Okay! Let's go back to the village together then."
Several people nodded.
"Brother Bai, the location selection for the stores in the city has been completed soon. Since we plan to go to the school, we will write a letter and change the address of the store to Yongning Gate. That is the root of our school in the city.
, it’s easy for us to take care of you.”
Zhou Yuan pondered for a while and suggested.
This decision was quickly passed. It is best to open a store under your nose.
