Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

“I was not wronged”

Wang Wei murmured in a low voice, raised his head and looked down.

"Things have to be done by people. If people want to do things well, they first need knowledge and skills, and secondly they need a fair and loyal character. All illnesses in this world can only be caused by two reasons.

The first is that many of the things that must be done are not done by people who are competent enough to do them, so they are left without doing them, or some people with insufficient knowledge and skills are recruited to do them.

The second is that sometimes the people who serve are very capable, but they do not have a fair and loyal heart. They are always thinking of personal interests, and they do not hesitate to resort to corruption, cheating, extortion, fraud and waste. Therefore, the more undertakings they organize, the more they disturb the people. Harmful to the country, in short, doing it is worse than not doing it. "

These words are not only applicable to education, but can be fully applied to all walks of life.

With Yang Xian's letter, the situation suddenly became high.

Wang Wei's hands holding the newspaper were trembling a little. What kind of magnanimity did he need to write this letter that would make all the scholars in the world ashamed?

"If people exist, government will improve." Wang Wei couldn't help but read the following content softly.

same moment.

Capital City, Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were also reading this letter written by Yang Xian to scholars all over the world.

Zhu Biao opened his mouth and read: "If people exist, government will be promoted. If people do not exist, government will not be promoted. This is a public rule from ancient times to the present and cannot be overturned."

The founding of the Ming Dynasty was only ten years old. If a country is compared to a person, then the Ming Dynasty is like a child who is just learning to talk and walk.

There are many things that should be done, industry and commerce need to be developed, the navy and army need to be built, the transportation network needs to be well organized, the finances need to be organized, and the government agencies need to be rationalized - everyone knows and can talk about all this. But when these things are actually done, there are so many things involved, where are the people? "

Yes, where are the people?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think along the way.

This letter, far from just being written to scholars all over the world, is completely a policy for governing the country!

Zhu Biao then opened his mouth and read: "What we lack is not the number of people, but the material of people. If we don't change the material of people first, talking about everything else is just empty talk. Changing the material of people is exactly The work of education is also the work of teachers. To build a country, we must first cultivate the founders, and to cultivate the people who build the country, we must first cultivate teachers.

Even if you think this statement has no profound meaning - the great truth has no profound meaning - it is the unbreakable great truth. "

"In education, children's education is basic education. Only with a sound primary school can we have a sound higher education, that is, university education."

“Elementary education should be universal, which means it should be education for all the people.”

In this passage, Yang Xian fully pointed out the importance of education to the Ming Dynasty.

Education is important, and your teachers in the education industry are naturally important too.

After Yang Xian's letter was published, tens of millions of people throughout the Ming Dynasty saw it.

Yang Xian made the entire Ming Dynasty society, from top to bottom, including those scholars who are engaged in the teaching profession, truly understand the status of teachers.

And that's half the problem solved.

Just as Yang Xian said in this letter.

"Nowadays, most of the aspiring young people are unwilling to become teachers. This is partly because they do not understand it well, and partly because the teaching profession has not earned the noble status it deserves."

“If we want to improve the basic education work in today’s Ming Dynasty, the training, quality, status, and remuneration of teachers must be improved.”

"At this point, we're already doing that."

"The first school to train teachers in Ming Dynasty, Yangzhou Normal University, has been officially established. We welcome young people with ambitions to sign up and join us."

"In our country, as long as a large number of aspiring young people are willing to make being primary school teachers their lifelong career, in ten or twenty years, we can lay a solid foundation for all our country-building undertakings. This is not a difficult task. . The most important thing is to do it as you say, and do it practically, without delaying the opportunity any longer."

“The best time to plant a tree was ten years ago, the second best time is now!”

"Friends, the greatest comfort in life is spiritual comfort. Is there any spiritual comfort more real and profound than what I describe here? It is said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Friends, recognize the role of primary education in The importance of the country and the spiritual comfort it gives you, you should have the courage and determination to take up this fundamental cause of nation-building!"

The signature is, a lifelong educator.

This letter written by Yang Xian to the scholars of Ming Dynasty is based on the article of Mr. Zhu Guangqian, a famous educator of later generations.

After the letter was published, the whole Ming Dynasty was shocked.

For a time, those scholars had a desire to engage in education in their hearts.

The word fame and fortune.

Fame comes before profit.

This is especially true for readers.

Not to mention being famous throughout the ages and lasting forever, what many scholars seek in this life is a posthumous reputation.

Otherwise, why would there be so many officials who speak out and remonstrate despite knowing that they will die?

Yang Xian's letter is not only written to scholars, but also to people all over the world.

It is equivalent to telling people all over the world how great teachers are.

As long as you are engaged in education, you are dedicating yourself to Ming Dynasty and this country.

The value is up.

At this point, Yang Xian believed that it was impossible for these scholars not to take the bait.

Of course, as Yang Xianxin said, teachers’ remuneration should be improved so that they can earn the status they deserve.

For students who are willing to study at Yangzhou Normal University, Yang Xian not only waives tuition fees for all of them, but also provides free accommodation in the dormitory building.

For those with financial difficulties, the school even provides three simple meals a day.

Yang Xian will also provide scholarships to those with outstanding academic performance.

Students who successfully graduate from Yangzhou Normal University will be assigned work packages.

All Yang Xian can do is to improve the treatment of faculty and staff in all schools in Yangzhou.

If you want to promote it nationwide, you have to discuss it with the court.

After all, if the scope is nationwide, the funds and manpower required will be too huge, and officials will have to come forward.

Yang Xian was thinking about this.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zhu Biao came directly to his door.

This shows how influential Yang Xian’s open letter is.

"Yang Qing, you have done another earth-shattering thing that benefits the country and the people!" As soon as Zhu Biao saw Yang Xian, he immediately came over enthusiastically with a bright smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness," Yang Xian said.

"Yang Qing, before you, it had never been thought of in history to open an institution specifically to train teachers." Zhu Biao sincerely admired.

"Especially the word "teacher" is really the finishing touch. A teacher is a role model for others."

Yang Xian said: "One of the reasons why the reputation of teachers in this world is as bad as it is now is because the teachers in private schools are a mixed bag. After passing the training and education at the Normal University, you can at least guarantee that you will be able to get out of here. Teachers can reach the most basic level of qualification." Although the overall social status of the private school teacher is not high.

However, due to differences in knowledge, personality cultivation, etc., the social reputation of individual private school teachers also varies greatly.

Some private school teachers who are knowledgeable and good at teaching often gain high social prestige. For example, Huang Liangqing, a native of Jiangxi Province, is recorded in "Dian Zhi", who is erudite and capable of poetry. Its door.

Some private school teachers, due to lack of knowledge or personality, not only mislead students, but sometimes even make fools of themselves. Tian Rucheng of the Ming Dynasty included a widely circulated joke in his "History of Traveling to the West Lake", the main idea of ​​which is as follows: When a school teacher was teaching "The Analects of Confucius", he pronounced "Yu Yu Hu Wenzai" as "Everyone is equal to Zhangwo". When the new teacher read "Yu Yu Hu Wen Zai", the students were frightened and ran away. People at that time wrote poems and mocked: "Everyone is equal to me, and the students are all sitting in the hall. I am so depressed that the students don't come." This kind of joke extremely belittles and ridicules the abilities of private school teachers. It is obviously a prank, but it is undeniable. Indeed, there are quite a few private school teachers who pretend to be teachers and mislead their students. They not only attract the contempt of the world, but also reduce the social status and reputation of the entire private school teacher profession.

"In order to avoid this situation, all teachers who teach in schools in the future must pass the teacher qualification certificate examination and obtain a teacher qualification certificate."

Holding a certificate to work is always the best way to maintain a lower limit.

Zhu Biao nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Yang Qing, there is another question, and that is who will teach these Yangzhou Normal University students."

After all, he is a teacher's teacher, so Zhu Biao has to be careful about this.

Yang Xian said: "The first batch of normal students at Yangzhou University will be personally guided by me. Most of the teaching team are graduates of Yangzhou University."

"The oldest group of teachers at Yangzhou University, as well as the following graduates, those who have achieved certain results in specific academic fields, I call these people professors."

For a country, it is natural to have talents who have graduated from the highest universities to become officials and display their ambitions in governing the country, but this is by no means all.

The future of Ming Dynasty requires more talents of all kinds who can contribute to social construction in many aspects.

Scientific research talents, educational talents, writers, and astronomers.

"So in the next period of time, I will focus most of my energy on this. I may not be able to spare any time in Yangzhou's government affairs." Yang Xian said.

Originally, Lu Mingyi could help.

But Lu Mingyi was about to be promoted and went to Xi'an Prefecture to serve as the new magistrate.

The transfer orders have been issued and we will set off soon.

Zhu Biao heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yang Qing. Due to Li Jin's outstanding performance during his tenure, the Ministry of Official Affairs has issued a document and decided to promote him to be a fellow magistrate of Yangzhou."

Although Li Jin is the number one scholar, his starting point is higher than ordinary people, starting from the sixth rank.

But within a few years, he was already a co-president of the same government, which shows that the court recognized his ability.

The level of Tongzhi is the fifth level, which is equivalent to the second-in-command in power in a city in later generations. It is the level of the main hall. The villain Zhao Lidong in Cyclone is also at this level.

Hearing this, Yang Xian felt relieved.

"I will formulate a rating system for teachers in the near future, the principles and methods of rating, and how much salary teachers with corresponding professional titles can receive." Yang Xian paused and then said. "In order to cope with this educational reform, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I propose to restructure the Imperial College and reorganize the Ministry of Education to be responsible for all matters related to education in the Ming Dynasty."

"I see."

Zhu Biao looked serious and nodded heavily.

In addition to the six ministries, a Ministry of Education will be added.

How many power disputes and interest entanglements will be involved during this period.

Especially for the Ministry of Rites, we must know that the Imperial College was originally a subordinate organization of it, but now it has to be restructured and independent to become an existence on an equal footing with it. Are the officials of the Ministry of Rites happy to see it?

From ancient times to the present, whenever it comes to institutional reform, there will be resistance without exception.

This is true for agency mergers, and it is also true for agency departments to become independent.

What's more, the establishment of a Ministry of Education that is independent of the six ministries is the first of its kind in history.

But even though he knew there were so many difficulties, Zhu Biao still only replied with three words.

That's what I know.

This is the first prince in history, Zhu Biao.

As for school.

Yang Xian currently does not plan to start kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, or university like later generations.

Rather, it is simplified into two types.

One is the primary school representing primary education.

The second is universities representing higher education.

The establishment of teacher professional titles is a unified system, and there is no distinction between primary education and higher education.

The primary school series is mainly divided into: third-level teachers, second-level teachers, first-level teachers, and senior teachers.

On the university side, they are: teaching assistant, lecturer, associate professor, and professor.

Because with the current social situation of the Ming Dynasty, it is obviously unrealistic to create so many classifications, and there is not so much knowledge to teach, and it is not for future generations.

It is enough if these two types of schools can be successful.

You must know that it is only the tenth year of Hongwu, 1377 AD.

When certain results are achieved in the future, we will gradually establish middle schools.

Rejuvenate the country through science and education.

Yang Xian is not just talking.

For teachers who came out of Yangzhou Normal School, Yang Xian must have merit points.

In the future, the students they teach will also have merit points attributed to Yang Xian.

When the world is filled with peaches and plums, and the entire Ming Dynasty is a disciple of the Yang-style new school, one generation after another, the merit points will reach a terrifying astronomical figure.

When the time comes, Yang Xian will prepare to use these merit points to directly carry out the next technological revolution.

A true technological revolution.

Zhu Biao on the side listened to Yang Xian's story, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.

If education can really succeed, wouldn't it mean that in a few decades there will be no more white people in the world, and the feeling of creating a golden world will become stronger and stronger.

Zhu Biao had a belief in his heart that became stronger and stronger.

That is, under the leadership of this man in front of him, the Ming Dynasty will be immortal forever!

Zhu Biao doesn't care what his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, is like.

But when he comes to power in the future, he will definitely regard Yang Xian as the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty.

Let him become the helmsman of the invincible warship of the Ming Dynasty. (End of chapter)
