I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 815: Lugang High School is the famous school in Ming Dynasty!
Shu Youliang smiled and asked back: "Don't you think it's good?"

Marcelo and Leon stood aside and watched.

Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong looked at each other and shook their heads, saying, "Master Shu, we think it's too vulgar."

"Too unruly!"

Wan Ruyi nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, yes! You two gentlemen are right, these women are too vulgar, too indecent, and their words are too vulgar and too unrefined.

Shame on them!"

Shu Youliang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Look at what you said, Old Wan. They all come from poor families, have never read the Four Books and Five Classics, and have never memorized Tang and Song poems. You can't ask them to be elegant.

Could it be that you, Old Wan, also grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Wan Ruyi replied awkwardly, "How can that be possible? Master Shu is making fun of me. I was originally a hunter in Yanshan Mountain. I can't read a single word and I am crude and shallow.

Later, Mr. Tan and General Qi reorganized the Beijing camp and recruited new soldiers. I joined the army and learned to read and practice some principles in the army. "

"In my opinion, it's better for you to do this. You won't have to read those dead books and make your brain numb."

Shu Youliang laughed, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Preserve the principles of heaven and eliminate human desires. Originally, it was just to teach people to restrain themselves and obey principles, but it was misinterpreted by a group of crooked Confucian scholars. It made everyone serious and no longer dare to talk about human desires.

It turns out that they are all hypocrites, appearing to be moral gentlemen, sitting upright.

They are all thieves and prostitutes, dirty and vile!

In my opinion, it is better to be like this, sincere and frank! Unfettered, bold to speak and laugh, like a group of happy and free birds.

There is nothing to be afraid of talking about when it comes to matters between husband and wife.

Look at those elegant scholars and literati in brothels, reciting poems and singing songs, looking very elegant, but in fact they are all lusting after other people's bodies and just want to sleep with them!
She is worse than a whore in what she does, yet she still wants to pretend to be a good person.

and"

Shu Youliang turned his head and looked at the factory building in the distance, "Look at them, why can they laugh so brightly?
Because they have no worries about food and clothing, live a comfortable life and are full of hope for life, they are so dissolute.

how?

Only intellectuals are allowed to do whatever they want and live a happy and romantic life, but ordinary people cannot be unrestrained and live freely and happily?
Are the people of the Ming Dynasty only able to look sad and work hard for a day's food and clothing, like carrying a mountain of heavy weight? Can they only live like a group of cattle and horses, and are not worthy of enjoying their own happiness? "

Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong were deeply moved.

Turning his head to look at the factory building in the distance, Hu Yinglin couldn't help but sigh: "Enjoy your own happiness!

Uncle Shu was right, these female workers were just a group of free, happy and unrestrained birds.

After listening to Mr. Shu's words, I feel that the greatest achievement of the Ming Dynasty Wanli New Deal may be the cheerful laughter of this group of female workers today. "

Wang Shisong pursed his lips. He was so excited that he couldn't utter a word. He just nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Both of them were university graduates who had received new-style education, namely new-style higher education. Their thoughts were completely different from those of the Confucian scholars before them, so they could easily accept Shu Youliang's sentiments and resonate with them.

Wan Ruyi also sighed from the bottom of his heart: “Master Shu, you are really a wise man. You can express in one sentence what we feel deeply in our hearts but don’t know how to express.

In the past, or in our parents’ generation, there would be no such laughter. The difficult times made it impossible for them to laugh.

Uncle Shu, you are right. Only when you have enough food and clothing and live a comfortable and hopeful life, can you have such a hearty laughter.

Good laugh, really good. "

Marcelo and Leon understood what the four were arguing about and couldn't help but speak up.

"Master Shu is right.

When we came to Ming Country, what we felt most deeply was your confidence and vitality. You are confident because you are strong, and you are full of hope because you are confident. "

Shu Youliang laughed, "Okay, let's stop being sad and gloomy here. Let's continue our tour. We must finish touring the Lulong Steel Plant today."

Wan Ruyi nodded quickly: "Yes, let's continue the tour. I'll take you there now."

"Go take a look at the children's school." Shu Youliang interrupted.

Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong smiled and agreed, "Yes, let's go to the children's school and take a look."

Wan Ruyi's face, which had been as stiff as steel, finally broke into a smile.

"Okay, then let's visit the children's school next. To be honest, our Lu Gang Children's School is one of the best in the whole Luanzhou.

Not only the children of Kaiping Coal Industry Group, Kaiping Manufacturing Bureau, Yongping Manufacturing Bureau and Qinhuangdao Shipbuilding Bureau want to enter our school, but also the children of officials in Luanzhou Government are trying to get into our school. "

"really?"

"Sounds good."

Wan Ruyi heard the perfunctory and disbelief in the words and became anxious.

"In last year's joint college entrance examination, 16 students from our Lugang High School were admitted to Wanli University, 9 were admitted to Peking University, and 29 were admitted to Yanshan University of Technology.

Fifteen students were admitted to Longqing Normal University, eleven to Jiajing University, twelve to Nanjing University, and fifty-one to Luanzhou University.

Shu Youliang, Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong stopped in their tracks and asked in surprise, "So many people passed the exam! How many senior high school students did you have at Lugang High School last year?"

"Three hundred and sixty-nine people."

"Three hundred and sixty-nine senior high school students were admitted to one hundred and forty-three colleges, all of which were top universities. You, Lugang High School, are going crazy!"

Seeing Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong's expressions of disbelief, Wan Ruyi smiled triumphantly.

"Fortunately, tens of thousands of parents in our Luanzhou Iron and Steel Group are quite satisfied with Lugang High School's performance."

So cocky!

"Captain Wan, Wanli University enrolled more than 700 students nationwide last year. There are more than 300 high schools in the country, and each high school only has two students on average. Your Lugang High School enrolled 16 students."

“Hehe, the two universities that we Lu Gang students want to apply to the most are Wanli University, the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty and the best university.

One is Yanshan University of Technology, which is located in Luanzhou. If that doesn't work out, I will apply to Luanzhou University nearby.

Everyone wants to take the exam, so more people pass it.”

Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong were going crazy.

Is this something that can be passed just by wanting to take the exam?
We also want to take the exam, but even though my father is a governor, it doesn’t matter. We can only make do with Jiajing University and Nanjing University. Shu Youliang’s eyes were dull, and he kept mumbling, “Chongyi High School, the best high school in the capital, only had eleven students admitted to Wanli University last year.

Captain Wan, does your Lugang High School accept students from Shuntian Prefecture?"

Wan Ruyi was stunned: "Master Shu, your kid is going to take the college entrance examination? Is it too late to turn around?"

"It's not too late. My eldest son is only in the third grade."

"Third year of junior high school?"

"third grade."

Wan Ruyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Master Shu, he's only in the third grade, it's too early."

Shu Youliang shook his head repeatedly, "It's too late. Education should start from childhood, the younger the better, to prepare for a rainy day!"

Wan Ruyi spread his hands and said, "Master Shu, I don't know about that. Logically speaking, our Lugang High School only recruits children of workers from the Luanzhou Iron and Steel Group, and they are admitted from the five junior high schools affiliated with the group.

Just to take care of a few brother groups, we allocated about ten quotas to each of them every year, recruiting from their children's junior high schools. And to take care of the face of Luanzhou Government, we also allocated ten quotas to Luanzhou No. 1 Middle School, and five quotas to Kaiping No. 1 Middle School and Yongping No. 1 Middle School respectively."

Hu Yinglin understood what he meant.

"No wonder your Lugang High School is so good. You have recruited all the better students in Luanzhou."

Wang Shisong agreed, "That's right. Luanzhou and Qinhuangdao were originally developed factories and mines, and the education in the schools for children of local people has always been top-notch, with students comparable to those in the capital and Shanghai.

Lugang High School has recruited all the best talents by doing this, so of course the results will be outstanding. "

Hu Yinglin went on to say: "Yes, the better the performance of Lugang High School is, the more people will want to squeeze their children in. The more good seedlings Lugang High School can gather, the easier it will be to achieve good results.

It’s a virtuous cycle.”

Wan Ruyi nodded, "What you two gentlemen said makes sense!"

Marcelo and Leon were listening with great interest and curiosity.

Why are these people so excited and excited when they hear about their children going to school?

Do all parents in Ming country attach this much importance to their children's education?
Is this the fundamental reason why the Ming Dynasty was so powerful?

Marcelo and Leon looked at each other, their eyes revealing a hint of excitement.

Have we accidentally discovered a huge secret?
However, in their opinion, the importance that the Ming Dynasty attached to education had reached a crazy level.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty actually wanted to implement compulsory education and allow tens of millions of Ming children to study for free!
Read for free!

In Europe, education is in the hands of the church, and those who can receive education are either children of aristocrats or children of wealthy businessmen.

Not to mention children from poor families, many children of small and medium-sized landlords and the knight class rarely received an education.

The Ming Dynasty is implementing compulsory education!
It is said that millions of children over the age of six have received compulsory primary education, hundreds of thousands of children over the age of twelve have received junior high school education, and nearly 100,000 teenagers have received high school education.

Perhaps this really is the secret of their strength.

But the answer was right in front of them, and Marcelo and Leon knew that they couldn't copy it even if they wanted to.

If you want to copy the answers, you must first separate education from the church, otherwise all the people taught in school will be missionaries and priests.

Secondly, it requires a lot of money.

But the wealthy nobles, cardinals and wealthy businessmen would not generously spend money to let the children of the poor receive education.

Most importantly, copying such an answer requires a prosperous and unified country, as well as a wise and strong monarch.

There is none in Europe, so just forget it.

As the five of them were talking, they came to the Lulong Iron and Steel Plant's Children's School.

Wan Ruyi greeted the school guard, registered, and walked into the school with the five people.

"This is the South Campus, which is the nine-year compulsory education campus. From the first grade of primary school to the third grade of junior high school, all are in this campus.

The six-story building on the east side is the primary school, and the four-story building on the west side is the junior high school. They share a playground, library and cafeteria."

Shu Youliang couldn't wait to ask, "Where is Lu Gang in high school?"

"Lugang High School is in the North Campus. It's more than 500 meters away from here, with the auditorium and gymnasium in between."

"Can I go inside Lugang High School for a tour?"

"No. Generally speaking, it is not allowed to disturb children's study and classes, which will affect their studies. Even if the head of the group approves it, parents will not allow it and will cause trouble. So."

understood!

Shu Youliang stopped asking questions. He looked up and said, "Lao Wan, go check on your second son. We'll just walk around here. We'll meet in the guard room later."

"it is good."

Wan Ruyi went to look for his second son, and Shu Youliang and the other four walked aimlessly along the road in the campus.

Marcelo said curiously, "Master Shu, this campus is very similar to the primary and secondary schools in Beijing."

“Of course it does.

Not only the capital, but all the new-style schools in the Ming Dynasty, including universities, were modeled after Lu Gang's Children's School in terms of campus layout and architectural style.

It can be said that it is the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty’s new-style schools and new-style education.”

Hu Yinglin disagreed, "Master Shu, I don't agree with what you said.

It is generally recognized in the southeast that the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty's new-style education should be Longhua Academy and Xiangshan Academy, which are now Shanghai Longhua Middle School and Ningbo Xiangshan Middle School. "

Shu Youliang laughed, "You are just trying to flatter yourself as scholars in the southeast. It is generally acknowledged that the new learning originated from Longhua and Xiangshan academies.

However, when the two academies were first established, they were completely based on the model of traditional Chinese academies.

The real new-style schools and new-style education in the Ming Dynasty started in Luanzhou, from their first school for children of the Lulong Iron and Steel Plant.

Next came the Kaiping Coal Mine Children's School and the Yongping Machinery Factory Children's School. They blossomed everywhere in Luanzhou, and then were copied by Beijing, Shanghai and other places."

Hu Yinglin and Wang Shisong were still not convinced and wanted to open their mouths to refute, but were instantly defeated by Shu Youliang's just one sentence!
