Chapter 1806 Two Choices
"Mr. Chen is really cautious." Xun You glanced at Chen Xi and said casually.
"Oh, oh? What did you say? I don't understand." Chen Xi looked around and wanted to catch someone to push the tank.
Xun You shook his head and saw Chen Xi like this, but he did not ask. In fact, the top counselor in the world had a clear understanding of Li You's identity, but he could not expose it. Li You didn't come to Chang'an at all and would not give anyone any chance to expose it.
"Let's talk about something else." Chen Xi said with a haha. Anyway, even if you Xun You guessed it, it's useless. What about the evidence? The biggest evidence Chen Xi has recovered it. Well, why did you go to Tang Ji to talk nonsense when you went to Yingchuan? Isn't it just to make ironclad evidence?
The current situation is basically ironclad evidence. Tang Ji knows his identity, and Li You can wander around in front of Tang Ji. No one in question said that Li You is Li Ru. What are you guys who guessed out of thin air?
As long as Tang Ji denied that Li You was Li Ru, then only Liu Xie could expose the world. As long as Li You was not mentally ill, she would never give Liu Xie a chance to expose herself.
In this way, by confusing right and wrong, Chen Xi can basically guarantee that after Tang Ji spoke later, there is a high possibility that Li You will be whitewashed.
"Does Chen Hou have any advice?" Xun You looked at Chen Xi calmly.
"No, I just have some questions to ask." Chen Xi said casually, thinking about asking a question while chatting. After all, when communicating with such people, you cannot fool too ordinary questions, and you must have a standard.
"Let's hear." Xun You didn't answer yet. Fan Qin, Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Liu Ba, Du Xi and others all leaned over. It was obvious that they were all interested in the question of stunning Chen Xi.
"That's right, I'll take Xuande Gong to do education, you all know." Chen Xi looked at the group of civil officials who were surrounded by unhappy and said, and Sima Lang couldn't help but blush when he heard this. His cousin from afar ran away because Chen Xi was too ideal.
"This is the situation now. I guess you can't find anything else, but you still know the education I've done. At the beginning, it was three to five years of education, but now it's basically three years." Chen Xi said with a sigh.
Over the years, after doing so many things, the only thing that has not been done yet is education. As long as Chen Xi makes up his mind to do other things, he basically accomplishes it, and what he does is amazing to everyone.
"We have all heard of this." Xun Yu nodded. In fact, Chen Xi has not only heard of the popularization of education. Basically, everyone above the middle level of the Han Dynasty has learned about it in detail, and many people are waiting to watch the fun, but they have not been interested in the fun so far.
"That's right. The purpose of popularizing education at the beginning was to let the people know literacy. You have also seen the Thousand Characters of the Script. My purpose is that normal people know these words and learn how to deal with people and things. So didn't I prepare several sets of books at that time? Finally..." Chen Xi coughed for a few times and didn't continue to say that everyone knew the situation.
Chen Xi’s idea was to quickly develop all common words in six months, then learn mathematics within the third grade for six months, and then give me some social common sense. The remaining two years are in the past year, and I will learn the Te Ching, Cai Gen Tan, the Rules of Disciples, and the Book of Filial Piety.
In the last half year, I will give students some social skills, such as scientific farming, such as mason, bricklayer, blacksmith, carpenter, and carpenter. In short, I will learn a technique that can survive if I leave school.
Anyway, Chen Xi’s purpose is not to make everyone an official. His purpose is to make the people live better. If the talented ones are naturally taught by the relevant aspects. Those who are not talented can live a better life with the education of the school. Chen Xi said that he is already very powerful.
Chen Xi definitely has no way to guarantee the fairness. Anyway, Chen Xi is proud of his own doing so that the people can live better than before. As for the rest, if there is no way to guarantee it, there is no way to guarantee it. This education is paid by them, so I feel unhappy. I will drop out of school and I won’t stop you.
"Okay, don't talk about your set of books. You may only be able to fully understand them in three years. You really think that everyone is the same as you." Chen Qun curled his lips and said, "If you want to eat this kind of thing for students, let alone three years, you may not be able to understand it thoroughly even if you eat it until you are 80 years old.
"Anyway, it was abolished. Most of my textbooks were abolished, leaving only extremely low-level mathematics, thousands of characters and Techniques. I will definitely not finish learning anyway. I will eventually learn social survival skills." Chen Xi shrugged and said.
"Abolish it for granted, and you restore us to the age of five to the primary school entrance into your education system, and see if you can finish what you want to teach at the age of eight." Fan Qin said angrily. This is nothing but nonsense.
"Okay, I won't mention this. Anyway, I think I will definitely finish it, so after I lowered some of it as a textbook, it turned out to be salted fish." Chen Xi said unhappily. Seeing everyone glaring at him, Chen Xi quickly changed his words, "It's the most important thing to come down."
"That's right, because this popular education is completely subsidized, that is, the people didn't pay. Well, we didn't pay either. We just took care of a meal. The classroom was also built by locals. The problem now is how to popularize it." Chen Xi looked at everyone silently and asked. This road was very difficult to walk back then, and now we can barely go on.
"On the one hand, there is a serious shortage of scholars. The reason why I was able to open academies in Taishan, Qingzhou was entirely because I robbed the entire Yuzhou and kidnapped almost all scholars. But now these scholars are far from enough, even a scholar brings ten scholars. " Chen Xi said with a wry smile.
When Chen Xi slaughtered the scholars in Yuzhou, he did make a big fuss in the world. Finally, under the suppression of the library, this incident was over and he barely built an educational framework. However, as Liu Bei's stall became larger and larger, scholars gradually became insufficient.
Chen Xi always believed that it was a suitable level for a teacher to bring five students in batches. It would be a bit unattended to bring ten students, but if he brought twenty students, he would almost have herd sheep.
The lack of teachers is a very big problem. Chen Xi once worried that there was insufficient money and food and could not be sustained. But now money and food are no longer a problem, but the number of teachers has become a problem.
As for the quick training teachers, Chen Xi has not thought about it, but now there are only a dozen students trained in the previous batch who can barely take the major scientific examination. As for those who are on the list, to be honest, Chen Xi is not allowed to let go, and none of them pass the exam.
With this level of quality, even Chen Xi can recognize the qualified students in three years, it is only possible to barely teach more than 100 teachers who can teach other people at a higher level. Let’s take a shower and go to bed, Chen Xi gave up directly.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xi reacted that for most students of this era, most of the knowledge he taught was of little significance. They either went for that meal or for that craft.
Even if it is really for knowledge, for the common people of this era, they actually have no conditions to use it. Just like the English courses in later generations, 90% of people learned English, and how many times could they use it in the end.
This has led to the fact that most children in this era were extremely enthusiastic about learning at the beginning, and their families would do everything to support their children to learn these things. However, after a while, they found that they had no use after learning these words. After being excited, after returning to reality from their ideals, people in this era will think about value.
It is obvious that for most mediocre people, it is difficult to truly master and understand everything the professor gives them in such a short time. For these students, having a free meal and learning a skill that can support their families is far more valuable than those who don’t know the so-called number of words.
After all, there are very few geniuses in this world, not to mention that living in an ordinary family is destined to be unable to inherit the refined life wisdom from our ancestors, and we cannot receive the right education at the right time and conduct corresponding practices.
Without these things, even if the same intelligence is the influence of many aspects such as social environment, contact, vision, etc., the wisdom that can be shown is enough to be called a world of difference. This is also the reason why Chen Xi has not produced a wise man from an ordinary person's background in the education system.
No matter how you say that teaching by example and the social environment will greatly affect a person. The education built by Chen Xi is not enough to change a person in such a short situation. Of course, it is not impossible to do it, it just costs too much.
"Anyway, you all know the current situation. This is one of the four jobs I took over at that time. What do you think I should do? Should I extend the education period, find more scholars, or directly change the education model to be close to the education model needed by the people." Chen Xi spread his hands at everyone beside him.
Chen Qun and others all looked at them with thoughts after hearing this. Chen Xi’s question was very clear, but the answer to this question may affect society for more than a hundred years.
We choose to extend the education period, not to mention the direct doubled costs, nor to talk about how those scholars and teachers come to do it. Just to say, as the education period increases, the people at the bottom will truly learn knowledge, which will actually affect the entire society.
Chen Xi's current education model has a very little impact on aristocratic families that have been carrying out elite education for hundreds of years. Once the education time limit is extended, the state will really provide the people with complete education like primary schools, middle schools, and "universities" like aristocratic families, and at most three generations of aristocratic families will kneel.
After all, aristocratic families only account for one percent of the population. Even if the proportion of wise people is slightly higher, compared with the huge base of ordinary people, there is only one way to go.
It can be said that choosing to extend the education period will have a huge impact on the current relatively stable social structure and lead to a huge change in the current social structure.
Therefore, Chen Qun and others immediately denied the extension of the education time limit, which was almost the instinct of the family to protect themselves.
As for the second type of education, it only conducts basic education, so that the people can learn to read, understand simple math skills, have the basic ability to continue learning, and then teach them professional survival skills. This is very suitable for these people.
After all, the second type is significantly less dangerous to them than the first type. Although there are inevitably those who are against the will of heaven, it is basically a force majeure factor.
"The first type is difficult to achieve. There are many students but few scholars, not to mention that the people do not need these things. Didn't you say before that they are more interested in survival skills?" At this time, Chen Qun could only stand up.
"The problem is that the first type can create a large number of middle-level cadres and make the entire organizational structure more reasonable." Chen Xi frowned and said.
Chen Xi also knew how difficult it was to execute the first type, but later it would be necessary to conquer Central Asia and Kushan. If it was just a simple battle, it would be fine. As long as the military was strong, it would be fine. But if it was to manage it, the organizational structure would be inevitable.
Although Chen Xi does not have the habit of massacre, Chen Xi will never be able to hand over the territory he has built up to the locals for management. If he is not my race, his heart will be different. Chen Xi highly recognizes this. This will inevitably require a large number of middle-level personnel.
The major families can indeed draw out some middle-level cadres who can barely be used, but Chen Xi cannot use all the families. Maybe it can be done in the future, but it will definitely not work at the beginning. This destined that Chen Xi must have a large number of middle-level cadres.
As for how to create a large number of middle-level cadres, Chen Xi could think of only two ways: one is the pure military management model, the other is to expand the scale of education, extend the education time limit, and popularize large-scale education, and widely cast a net to cultivate so many middle-level civil servants themselves.
In fact, the biggest problem with this move is not the impact on the aristocratic families and social systems that Chen Qun and others think, but how these people become officials by studying and become officials.
Once this situation expands into a social phenomenon, the situation of Song Ming’s essays and writing, forming party struggles for personal gain only if you don’t understand, and taking party struggles as the core, regardless of the life or death of the country, will happen sooner or later.
Because the position of civil officials is too easy to get, bypassing the military merit system and avoiding fighting on the battlefield, this road seems safer and more reliable than the other one, and more importantly, it is easier to cheat in exams than fighting on the battlefield.
That's why Chen Xi threw it out because this model of extending education is indeed inappropriate at the moment, and there are countless disadvantages in all aspects. As long as Chen Xi's mind is still there, he will not be able to choose this incomplete method at this inappropriate time point.
