Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 524 Lantian Vocational and Technical College

I said it was the start of school on the tenth day of the lunar new year. In fact, as early as two or three days ago, the students who were going to enter the school had already signed up. Since the accommodation could not be arranged for the time being, the students who lived within a radius of [-] miles had to continue Return to the place where you borrowed to live.

Enrolling 3 students at one time is a miracle that has never happened in any dynasty before the Tang Dynasty. In this round of enrollment, there are no less than 3000 students from the Northeast who know Chinese. There are also young and strong people from various ethnic minorities in the Central Plains. For example, in Yunnan, Shelong brought at least [-] smart people over, and all of them stayed in Chang'an. The number of people from Lingnan was at least over [-], and even In Shanyang, in Dingxiang, there are thousands of students who have completed basic cultural education and come here to study.

There is also a relatively large group, that is, some workers in Weinan who have been working for a period of time, are not satisfied with the status quo, and feel that they can make progress through learning. As for workers like Song Xiaoyu, they are specially recommended. There are also over a hundred young lads studying, and they will be designated to enter special training classes.

Although hundreds of brick-and-tile classrooms have been built, they can’t hold the [-] students. However, there are many professional teachings that can actually be conducted outdoors. For example, those who study mud and water construction, their teaching The site is directly the large construction site that the college is building.

Those who learn to cook also built a large stove directly next to the construction site, put up a chopping board, and simply built a roof for the rainwater, and then they can start. The meals of the tens of thousands of experienced craftsmen who are working on the site, and even the tens of thousands of workers who are working on the construction site of the Overseas Exploration Investment Company not far away, are all cooked together.

Don't underestimate the profession of chef. Among the [-] students this year, more than [-]% have signed up to learn cooking, because there are more and more inns and restaurants in Datang, and there is a big gap for talents here.Later, the Vocational Technical College set up a chef class, and after the news was released that the teacher was a well-known chef from Wangjiang, all the major families, as well as those merchants who were interested in running restaurants and inns, sent people to study, but, They study at their own expense.

Given the current social situation in the Tang Dynasty, even some methods of cooking and many seasonings for cooking are available on the market. Compared with the level of Wangjianglou, there is still a huge difference in the food. People who spend money to eat in the restaurant naturally want to eat something delicious. With the current economic conditions, as long as there are a few good cooks, a restaurant can It's easy to open.

Of course, this is only an auxiliary industry, so it is good, and it is not the core talents that vocational technical colleges mainly cultivate. The real core talents still have to be counted separately.

All students who cannot read will be gathered together every day after they enter school to teach Chinese Pinyin for two hours, and then there will be almost cultural teaching such as reading and writing. Since all the students who sign up are adults, Sun Xiangfu mentioned some Learning requirements, within three months, you must learn to read and write, and master certain writing skills. After that, you will practice on your own outside the professional class. The reason why he made such a request is because the Vocational Technical College will give each Each student is given a dictionary.

The dictionary produced by the Yu family has pinyin printed on it. As long as you learn pinyin in the first period of time, all the characters can be spelled according to the dictionary. After that, you can rely on your own private practice to improve writing , and comprehension level, after all, when Yu Shinan edited the dictionary, in addition to adding the writing method of simplified characters, he also explained the meaning of the words in vernacular. There are also a lot of pens, ink and paper, enough for them to practice.

The more technology is learned, the more important the basic ability to recognize and write is. It is difficult for an illiterate to make any achievements in an industry.

As for those students who have completed the basic cultural teaching, they will enter the next stage first, and will be tutored by special teachers in different classes.

At present, in terms of culture and education, Sun Xiangfu has shared the tasks among the major shareholders of Overseas Exploration and Investment Company, and each company will provide some. On Sun Xiangfu's side, he asked for some people from the Yu family. Appointed as the head of the Vocational Technical College, however, the current imperial court has not included it in the official education system. After this labor wave passes, or after the construction of the engineering college is completed, the flow of people here may be separated. , will also be greatly reduced.

When Li Shimin's car drove over, the students from the technical college had already completed the morning reading course, which is the first lesson of Chinese Pinyin teaching. This kind of scene of everyone teaching together in the empty playground is also a wonderful sight. Well, it happened that everyone was lined up, so Sun Xiangfu took advantage of the opportunity and asked him to go up and say a few words. He didn't delay, he should have come prepared.

"Students from all over the world, I have come to visit you..."

With just an opening sentence, Li Shimin made many grassroots students burst into tears of excitement. When did they ever think that they would meet the emperor of the Tang Dynasty on the first day of school.

"The purpose of the establishment of the Vocational Technical College is to let you learn and master better vocational skills. After learning these skills, you can better contribute to the development, construction, and development of our Datang..."

Li Shimin talked about all aspects of vocational study, from being for the country to for the students' own livelihood and supporting their families. Almost all the sentences are in vernacular, which everyone can understand with one ear. Sun Xiangfu took over to do ideological work.

After Li Shimin's speech, the students were dismissed to have breakfast, and several central ministers led by Li Shimin, accompanied by Sun Xiangfu, began to walk around the college.

"In fact, I don't really understand the purpose of your vocational technical college. If it's just to cultivate talents for overseas exploration and investment companies, in fact, most of the jobs can let them learn while doing things. The factories in Weinan are not like this. Is it? Most of the workers don’t know anything when they first arrive there, and they will be able to do it after doing it, why bother to spend so much trouble?”

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu knew that Li Shimin had some objections to the size of the college. 10 people are too many. If they are allowed to work, not only will they not waste the country's food, but they will also create a lot of economic benefits. Thinking about the immediate interests, he shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you can't say that, if we lose the spirit of pursuing better, then we will only have to go backwards next.

More than [-]% of the workers in Weinan used to be ordinary people who were illiterate, creative, and unmanageable. They could only do simple tasks according to the tasks assigned by their superiors. Even so, their 'Superior' personnel are not enough either.

The Vocational Technical College is to cultivate more talents who can be used as "superior". Of course, this is not the point. talent.

Only in this way can we greatly save manpower. In fact, in Chen's opinion, the things that can be created by nearly 200 million laborers are definitely more than Weinan's current output.

In addition, the things we are going to make in the future may be more sophisticated, more complex, and high-end, just like the Daming Palace we are about to build. Before that, no one had experience in building such a huge building. Will it be able to achieve the expected effect?
If we don't cultivate these talents who can build and create higher-end things in advance, what do we do?

If it is just allowed to develop slowly, it is very undesirable.

For example, in the pre-Qin period, people already knew how to build palaces. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the former Sui Dynasty, they still used the same set of civil construction methods. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, but there is nothing wrong with it. Big progress.

But in our Tang Dynasty, we had the cement researched by the craftsmen under our subordinates, and then we had better quality concrete buildings. As long as we continue to study it, we can even speed up the development process.

You can also think about it, we don't study it, but a certain foreign country is studying it, how terrible it is. "

What Sun Xiangfu said immediately made Li Shimin think of some problems. If Goguryeo was a step ahead of the Tang Dynasty and developed in industry, let their soldiers all wear iron armor, hold hundreds of steel swords, and drive stone throwers. If the Liannu chariot came to fight Datang, then it is estimated that Datang's fate would not be better than that of Goguryeo.

"You are right, but if the students of this vocational technical college are all used to do technical research in various industries, then there are too many!"

"Of course not. Most of them will just become some grassroots team leaders and managers to lead more people to progress. In Chen's view, all technological development and progress must have a certain foundation. Vocational and technical colleges, It is a place that can lay a better foundation for them.

For example, this construction worker!When he went to Weinan, he either worked as a plasterer or a bricklayer, and went back and forth to work on various construction sites. After doing it all his life, at most, practice made perfect, and his work was better than ordinary people. "Sun Xiangfu pointed to a skilled worker on the construction site.

Then, Sun Xiangfu pointed to the distance again. He was holding a string and teaching the students what it means to be level-playing. In the first year of Zhenguan, he learned basic literacy and arithmetic, and learned some knowledge of geometry and physics from the children of farmers. Later, he joined the architectural research team in the village. The earliest batch of brick and tile houses in Xingfu Village The design and construction of it were made by their group of people.

Now, after several years of research, the technical level he has mastered is many times higher than that at the beginning. He will pass all his architectural knowledge to these students, and these students will stand on his shoulders. climb up.

How can a person climbing up out of thin air be as tall as a person climbing up on his shoulders?

Don't underestimate the knowledge of architecture, a little bit of progress requires countless explorations, what level of cement is the most viscous, what level of cement will not crack easily, how tall the house is, how thick it needs to be The load-bearing is strong, how to tie the steel bars is the strongest after being poured with cement, what kind of geometric structure can make the house more stable, what kind of materials can be used to make the house warm in winter and cool in summer... ···
These points mentioned by the minister are only relatively basic and obvious aspects. However, just these aspects are beyond the reach of ordinary people in a lifetime.

Therefore, in order to keep our Tang Dynasty the strongest and become stronger in the future, all our crafts and technologies need to be systematically and comprehensively passed on, so that generations of later generations can supplement them and make them more powerful. Plump and advanced, so as not to be easily overtaken by others one day, making us fall behind and be beaten. "

Sun Xiangfu's words made Li Shimin nod repeatedly, and he immediately realized his intention of letting Li Chengqian experience various professions. Not sure how to manage it.It seems that as an emperor, he must do more research on all walks of life in the future, otherwise, after a few years, among his descendants, there may be a fool who said, "Why not eat minced meat" like Emperor Hui of Jin.
