Chapter 323 Education
Regarding Zuo Liangyu's question, Zuo Menggeng originally planned to ask Zuo Kuan to help with a word.

It turned out that Zuo Kuan was not up to the task.

If you let Zuo Kuan pass the words to Zuo Liangyu, you may not know what the deviation will be.

Zuo Menggeng wisely gave up this move in order to avoid a situation where the father and son were against their goals.

Zuo Kuan felt Zuo Menggeng's alienation, which made him very scared.

He did not understand why Zuo Menggeng did this?
He felt that Zuo Menggeng was very unfamiliar, so why did he ignore family affection?

Zuo Menggeng knew this kind of alienation.

In his view, this is cognitive alienation.

What he wanted was completely different from an old man like Zuo Kuan.

But neither he nor Zuo Kuan knew that this was actually an alienation of thought.

and not repairable.

Huang didn't feel the difference.

After sending Zuo Kuan away, she was still immersed in Zuo Menggeng's marriage.

Holding Xu Ruolin's hand, Huang felt a sense of detachment.

"Now that you have passed the door, I don't have anything to worry about my wife anymore. Looking back at the past few days, you are all praised for your virtuousness. I'm thinking, from now on, the big things in this mansion will be yours. You have to take care of it and take care of this home."

The Huang family is planning to hand over power.

Xu Ruolin hasn't done anything yet, but Zuo Menggeng doesn't agree.

"My mother is in her prime when she thinks about old age and happiness, and God will be jealous. You have to take care of the affairs in this house. Ruo Lin has a lot of things outside, so please feel sorry for us."

Huang Shi said if he had something to say: "O old lady, now I just want to hold my grandson, and I have no other wish."

Xu Ruolin was embarrassed, and Zuo Menggeng was confused.

"We try."

Xu Ruolin really can't be trapped at home, there are indeed many things that need her.

Zhang Zonghuan, Qu Shisi, Liu Ji, Lu Hao and others came together and mentioned one thing.

"Zhongheng, everyone has seen the current situation of Zuozhuang Academy. If nothing else, the ability to cultivate talents far exceeds that of ordinary private schools. All of us are thinking, can we let the children of our clan also come to the school to teach?"

Zuozhuang Academy was initially established only to cultivate basic talents, and it also taught basic subjects other than the Four Books and Five Classics.

But as time passed, more and more talents came out here, and all of them made achievements. The major families immediately understood that this new school was far better than the private school.

Anyway, they are not preparing for the imperial examinations, and they are going to serve as officials in the imperial court. They must think carefully about the future of the descendants of the family.

It is obvious that Zuo Menggeng attaches great importance to Zuozhuang Academy, and the future of mathematics, physics, chemistry and other disciplines is likely to flourish.

These Linqing families are sober-minded and want to get ahead.

Zuo Menggeng was overjoyed when they had this thought.

Using new-style education to cultivate more new-style talents, so as to make a break with the old order and establish a new world, has always been the direction of Zuo Menggeng's efforts.

Now that more and more people support his approach, it means that the possibility of success is greatly increased.

However, Zuo Menggeng had other ideas about the request for admission.

"The city is always too far away from Zuozhuang. If the children of various families come to school, the journey will be long and it will not be worth it. Why don't we set up a school in the city?"

Zuo Menggeng looked at Qu Shisi.

In the final analysis, Zuozhuang Academy is still limited in scale.Moreover, there is currently no distinction between primary and secondary schools, which has already affected efficiency.

With the increase of the site, there are more and more places that need talents, which cannot be supplied by a Zuozhuang school alone.

In this case, the spread of education is an inevitable trend.

There are millions of people in Linqing City. As long as the new education is popularized, the probability of producing talents will be higher.

What Zuo Menggeng was afraid of was the conflict between new education and traditional Confucianism.

Guessing that this problem is in Qu Shisi's place, but it is not a problem.

"That's great. Not only can the children of all families be enrolled, but the children of ordinary people can also benefit."

Zuo Menggeng asked with concern: "I'm afraid that some old pedants who are clumsy and weak will be dissatisfied."

Qu Shisi laughed and said: "It is a great act of kindness to promote learning. Back then, Donglin Academy and others were able to become popular in the world. It's all like this. It's a big deal. We should also add some classics and righteousness courses in our school. Anyway, schoolchildren also need to read and read, which is just the best of both worlds. convenient."

Lu Hao clapped his hands and said yes.

"That's it. As long as the four books and five classics are taught in our school, no one can say anything. As for what courses to focus on, it's not up to us to decide."

The original intention of Qu Shisi and others was to build a school in the city, but Zuo Menggeng knew very well that education should not be neglected.

"I plan to set up an education committee, with you as the chairperson, who is solely responsible for the development of education. This burden is very heavy, and you have worked hard."

The person in charge of the Education Committee, without a doubt, the most suitable one is Xu Ruolin.

She was originally the principal of Zuozhuang Academy, and all the talents were her students.

She also has the identity of the mistress, and if she focuses on education, she can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Ruolin couldn't be happier when she could have something to do and didn't need to be trapped in the house.

"There is a large population in the city. If the school is fully established, we may not have enough manpower."

Zuo Menggeng had long thought about her worries.

"Secondary schools are temporarily put on hold, and primary schools are established first. It is more important to popularize basic knowledge first, so that more people can read and write, or learn a skill. After five years, only those who study well can enter middle school, and most of the rest I guess I still have to work.”

Zuo Menggeng did not intend to cultivate all students into talents, which is not realistic.

In his vision, primary schools have two main purposes.

One is literacy, so that young children should not be blind, at least be able to understand things and not be easily deceived.

The second role is the training of basic skills.

Most people are still troubled by food and clothing, and making money to survive is their concern.

If children can learn a skill in school, at least after graduating from elementary school, they can enter factories and other places and become qualified industrial workers.

what?
You say that children who graduate from primary school are only [-] or [-] years old, and they belong to child labor?

Please, in this day and age, who cares about that?
Even if Zuo Menggeng forcibly stipulated that people who are too young are not allowed to work, I am afraid that the people will be the first to object.

By the time primary school goes to middle school, even the first batch of students will be five years later.

Five years is the best buffer, enough for the Board of Education to prepare.

In the early stage, it is relatively easy to focus only on the construction and operation of primary schools.

Zuo Menggeng informed the administrative committee about the preparation for the establishment of the education committee, which was unanimously approved by everyone.

So under the Administrative Council, the first full-time agency was established.

Board of Education listed.

Xu Ruolin served as the chairman, and the vice-chairmen were Deng Yuhan, Wang Xiangjin, and Liu Zongzhou.

Deng Yuhan was in charge of the promotion and education of basic disciplines, Wang Xiangjin was in charge of the education of agronomy, and Liu Zongzhou was in charge of the education of traditional Confucianism.

In addition, there are Zuo Xianmei, Xue Fengzuo, Huang Zongxi and others on the standing committee.

Zuo Xianmei will lead people to compile elementary school mathematics textbooks, Xue Fengzuo will cooperate with Deng Yuhan to compile elementary school physics and chemistry textbooks, and Huang Zongxi will be responsible for ideological and moral education.

With the cooperation of Qu Shisi and the major families, the Education Committee quickly completed the site selection for the school.

In Zhima Lane, Brick City, Luocheng and other places, three primary schools were established in one go.

Together with Zuozhuang School, the four schools have set up a new educational foundation.

All the teaching staff of the school were selected from Zuozhuang Academy.

At this time, there is no way to have too high requirements on the ability of the teaching staff. The students who have just graduated from Zuozhuang Academy are all sent to be teachers.

At least they have no problem educating children who can't read big characters.

Although Xu Ruolin has done a lot of work in the past, but it is relatively fragmented, this time she really stood in front of the stage.

Being given high hopes made Xu Ruolin burst out with great enthusiasm for work. She did not go home for half a month and visited all the school sites.

In addition, in order to recruit students, she also promotes it herself.Walk into the homes of ordinary people and explain to them the benefits of the new school.

Leaders are so hardworking, let alone the people below.

At least in a short period of time, the entire Linqing people will know that there will be a free school for children to study.

Although the things taught in these schools cannot allow children to take exams for fame and official positions, but in the future, they will be able to have a skill that will prevent them from starving to death.

Nowadays, many people in Linqing are making a living in the industry of the new army, and they actually have a certain understanding of the benefits of technology.

At least looking at the beauty of the craftsmen, they are still very envious.

I don't want my children to flourish in the future, I am satisfied to be a craftsman.

The improvement of people's awareness has brought the benefit that the enrollment of primary schools is very smooth.In a short period of time, tens of thousands of children have become freshmen in primary schools.
