Chapter nine hundred and ninety-fifth I feel very relieved
In the past, there were not so many students applying for the preparatory schools in Datang, but now that the results of the Xuanping seven-year general examination have come out, students from normal schools can also have a pass rate of more than ten percent, which is attractive.
More students, especially self-funded students!
When there are more self-funded students, normal schools will have the funds to recruit more free students, thus forming a good cycle.
The general examination has just ended, and various normal schools are ushering in a wave of applications!
A large number of students, regardless of whether they are rich students or poor children, come to apply for the exam. Many poor children who have been admitted to preparatory schools, but because their grades are only in the middle and cannot get scholarships, all choose to apply for the normal school and then sign
Three-year teacher contract.
If students are rich, they don't worry about tuition fees, but many people still can't get into a preparatory school, so they come here to try their luck. If they can't get into a preparatory school, it's good to go to a normal school.
After entering the Normal University, you can directly take the entrance exam, or apply for Imperial College or Jinling University.
Seeing the memorial on the successful holding of the examination, Li Xuan was in a good mood, and the educational reform was moving forward according to the route he had set.
But no one knows now that Li Xuan is planning to take a two-step approach. He will completely implement a modern education system in a few years. As for the imperial examination system, he is not planning to abolish it, but is planning to reform it into a civil service system for future generations.
These two routes go hand in hand, and neither can do without the other!
According to Li Xuan's plan, the current changes are a little bit every year, but in a few years, the civil service system will be completely implemented, turning the imperial examination into a civil service examination, the general examination into a national examination, and the provincial examination into a provincial examination.
And schools at all levels are also widely opened!
By that time, the entire Tang Dynasty had truly established a complete education and civil service system, and this would have huge benefits for the subsequent development of the entire empire.
So after seeing the results of the joint examination and receiving reports that students from all over the country were enthusiastically applying for normal schools in various places, Li Xuan issued the latest instructions to the Ministry of Rites to quickly expand the enrollment scale of normal schools in various places, and at the same time strive to open several more normal schools this year
, increase the number of normal students as a powerful supplement to university education!
Naturally, the Ministry of Rites did not dare to neglect Li Xuan's instructions. At the same time, considering that there is currently no higher education institution in the north, not even preparatory courses, the Ministry of Rites is already making preparations for this year's
There are also several newly opened preparatory or normal schools in northern provinces.
Before Li Xuan arrived in Jinling, the meeting within the Ministry of Rites had already determined the general goals for running schools this year, not to mention primary and secondary schools. This was basically required to be organized by every local government office, one county at a time.
This is a mandatory requirement for primary schools and one middle school, and because they are all reformed from the former county schools and government schools, it is quite easy.
However, it is more troublesome to run preparatory courses and normal colleges.
But it's only a little more troublesome.
After several years of training, two batches of normal teachers who can serve as secondary education teachers have been trained. Although the number is still small, it is better than none.
So with a stroke of a pen, the Ministry of Rites made a request for itself. This year, at least three preparatory schools and eight normal schools must be organized!
As for preparatory schools, there is not much demand at the moment, because Datang only has two universities in total. If it is not for going to university, there is no need to attend preparatory schools.
However, the demand for normal schools is great. The current plan formulated by the Ministry of Rites is to ensure that every province and province has a normal school within the next two years.
This year, we plan to organize Nanchang Normal School, Changsha Normal School, Anqing Normal School, Huaian Normal School, Hangzhou Normal School, Tianjin Normal School, Kaifeng Normal School, and Wuzhou Normal School, a total of eight!
Some of the teachers in these eight normal schools will ask the Royal Institute of Technology to send junior students to serve as teachers, but most of them will still be drawn from graduates of the existing normal schools!
These normal school graduates do not have anything to do with preparatory courses or university. They need to study many subjects at the same time. They only study one subject in one year of study. And when they become teachers, they are not required to be very strict. They only need to be able to follow the instructions, so they are reluctant to do so.
It's strong enough.
As for the preparatory school, the Ministry of Rites reported that Tianjin, Wuchang, and Anqing were the three places to be established!
If the plan of the Ministry of Rites can be implemented, then by the end of this year, the entire Tang Dynasty will have thirteen normal schools, six preparatory schools, and two universities. Well, the Royal Institute of Technology is not an ordinary university, let alone
It falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so it is not included!
As for the preparations for the new university, there is currently no plan from the Ministry of Rites!
The resources required to open a new university are too great and cannot be established now, but it is still possible to expand the enrollment of the two existing schools!
The Imperial College’s enrollment plan for the seven years of Xuanping is preparing to enroll 1,500 students!
Jinling University is also preparing to recruit 800 students in the seven years of Xuanping!
After seeing these reports, Li Xuan, who had returned to Dangtu Industrial Zone in Taiping Prefecture, approved three words on the memorial, got it!
Then after reviewing a dozen other memorials, he walked out of Mifuneri's office. The accompanying secretary immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the adults from all ministries are already waiting!"
Li Xuan nodded immediately: "Then get off the boat!"
After Li Xuan said that, he took a group of people off the imperial ship and stepped onto the dock. Naturally, a group of civil and military ministers waiting on the dock kowtowed in unison and shouted long live!
As Li Xuan walked, he pressed his hands slightly and said: "Everyone loves you!"
After Li Xuan finished speaking, the group of people straightened up, and then several of them walked forward quickly!
Li Xuan was not prepared to listen to their nonsense, but said directly: "Time is tight, let's go directly to the industrial zone!"
This made several officials who originally wanted to introduce other situations to Li Xuan and perform well in front of the emperor a little disappointed. However, although they were disappointed, they did not dare to show anything. When the emperor came to be Tu, in addition to watching
Outside of Dangtu Industrial Zone, what else can you think of?
Li Xuan is not interested in those officials!
The dock that Shengjia arrived at was the dock in Dangtu Industrial Zone. In fact, when he was on the boat, Li Xuan could see rows of tall factory buildings on the shore, and there were several tall chimneys standing in the factory buildings!
Although from Li Xuan's perspective, these riverside factories looked very simple, with a modern perspective, they looked like small workshops, but he thought the scale of the industrial zone was very large.
The huge scale also makes up for the embarrassment of low buildings, not grand enough, and primitive and backward mechanical equipment!
After Li Xuan landed, he looked at the industrial zone in front of him and the factories on both sides of the main road in the industrial zone. He nodded slightly and thought to himself that although he was a bit rustic and primitive, he was still a serious heavy industrial producer.
Base!
Dangtu Industrial Zone is different from several other famous industrial zones in the Tang Dynasty today. The industrial zones in Guangzhou and Shanghai, two of the more famous commercial ports, are messy. They have everything, including heavy industry, but
More are various light industries.
However, Dangtu Industrial Zone is all about heavy industry. It is the main production base of Jiangnan Arms Company, and it is also the location of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, the largest steel production enterprise with the largest investment in the country.
Relying on the iron ore here, Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company has established a super-large steel production base here!
In addition, Zhaoqing Machinery Company, the largest or even the only mechanical equipment manufacturer in China, has also set up a branch factory here.
These three core enterprises, supplemented by more than a dozen supporting enterprises, together form the main body of Dangtu Industrial Zone!
“At present, we have a total of 37 companies settled in Dangtu Industrial Zone, 12 of which are companies affiliated with the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, 17 are provincial or government-owned companies, and there are also eight private companies, mainly involved in the industry
Steel, machinery, chemicals and other heavy industries.”
"There are a total of three to eight thousand employees working in the entire industrial zone. In order to solve the living problems in the industrial zone, we have also specially built numerous worker dormitories and commercial streets in the industrial zone!"
"The area of the industrial zone is already ten times that of Dangtu County, and it is still expanding rapidly. According to our plan, the subsequent industrial zone will expand into the county and eventually include the entire county!"
After hearing this, Li Xuan nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work. Such a heavy industrial zone is larger than the industrial zones in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the difficulty of construction is also more difficult. Today we can see one
I am very pleased that Dangtu Industrial Zone is beginning to take shape!"
Li Xuan said thank you for your hard work, and a group of ministers standing next to him suddenly became very excited, especially the officials from the Taiping Prefecture, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and the Ministry of Industry who were in charge of the Dangtu Industrial Zone.
red!
One of them hurriedly said: "Being loyal to Your Majesty and working for the welfare of the people is my blessing. No hard work, no hard work!"
Another person said: "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to the king. How dare you say that you are suffering!"
Seeing their excited expressions, Li Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to them. These ministers could praise them with just a few words at any time, and every one of them would be moved as if they had married a concubine in the 18th room!
And I just said it casually, but you still take it seriously!
If you don't work hard, do you think I should do it myself?
You deserve to be exhausted!
However, this is just Li Xuan’s idea!
In the eyes of these ministers, Li Xuan's words "Thank you for your hard work". To be honest, even if they have no merit, their hard work is a sure thing, and promotion and wealth are just around the corner!
Well, if this idea comes to Li Xuan, he will say: "You are thinking too much!"
