Chapter 22 Rejuvenating the Nation through Science and Education
Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/
In theory, the Sino-French war is in front of us. It is reasonable to invest in military affairs. However, these money were exploited by corrupt officials from the people, and it seems that the truth is taken from the people for use with the people.
National quality is a sign of whether a country is truly powerful. Germany has experienced the destruction of two world wars. The country can only be described as a ruin, but in just a few decades, it was reborn like a phoenix. This is because Germany has extremely high national quality.
However, improving the quality of the people is a slow and long-term process. Since ancient times, children of rich people in China can only study, and poor people cannot read. How can such a national quality be compared with a truly powerful country abroad? What's more, China has not had the national budget expenditure since ancient times. Even if Guan Xuqing is arbitrary and adds this item to popularize national education, there are not so many teachers. Educational models such as private schools are outdated. Although the Westernization Affairs Commission has been established in recent years and has paid attention to the cultivation of talents to a certain extent, for a superpower with a population of 400 million, it is still a drop in the bucket and is useless!
To solve the problem of teachers, sending overseas students to study abroad or hiring foreign teachers is too expensive. No matter how much money is, it is not enough. It can only be used in talents in certain special fields, such as warship use, military management, etc. Education for all is really not good.
Military schools across the country were gradually established after the rise of the Westernization Movement, such as Weihai Naval Academy, Shanghai Cannon Academy, Lushun Torpedo Academy, etc.
Many subjects are taught by foreign teachers, and they can only be accepted after graduation.

At this time, another important official asked for a visit in the study room.
"I bow to the emperor." Weng Tongxiu knelt on the ground.
"Oh, Master Weng, let's be calm." Guan Xuqing still respects this teacher very much.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Weng Tongxi stood up.
"I saw the emperor frowned and didn't know what was wrong with him." Weng Tongxi asked.
"I want to hide it from Master Weng, I want to popularize national education. After all, the century-old plan is based on education. This is a true saying that will never be wrong in any era. Unfortunately, my Qing Dynasty has poor teachers and no one available." Guan Xuqing has been in contact with Weng and Jesus in the palace for the longest time in recent years, and he has no concealment in his speech.
"Your Majesty, I am here for this matter today. It turns out that the emperor has long wanted to be in front of me. The old minister is really ashamed." Weng Tongxiu sighed.
"Oh? Master Weng, please speak." Guan Xuqing suddenly became energetic.
"Have the Emperor ever heard of Xu Shou?" Weng Tongxi asked.
"Xu Shou? I seem to have heard of it. Has he opened any foreign school in Shanghai?" Guan Xuqing recalled.
"The emperor is indeed extremely smart, and his memory is very comparable to that of people." Weng Tongxiu paused and continued: "Xu Shou opened Gezhi Academy in Shanghai. Although it was officially opened in the second year of Guangxu, it was not officially recruited three years later, in September of the fifth year of Guangxu, and the following spring was officially taught. According to the regulations of the Western Studies Association of Gezhi Academy, the courses were divided into six categories: minerals, electrical services, surveying and mapping, engineering, automobile, and manufacturing. In addition to Xu Shou hosting regular classes for students admitted to the hospital, the academy also held regular science lectures. Another teaching in charge of the academy was Luan Xueqian. When he taught chemistry knowledge, he also cooperated with experimental performances, and the results were very good."
Ah, it turned out to be him. Guan Xuqing suddenly remembered that he was a famous chemist in modern Chinese history. He was still alive? When did he die? Since Guan Xuqing studied finance in his previous life, he really didn't know when those great men died. He only knew that it seemed that Xu Shou was born and from the Jiaqing Dynasty. He is still alive now? He should be very old, so he has to find two doctors to see him regularly. Such a person is simply the national treasure of the Qing Dynasty.
"Where is this person now? Please invite him to Beijing quickly. I want to open a university and teach chemistry." Guan Xuqing said hurriedly.
"This person is in Shanghai, but unfortunately he is weak and sick, and he is bedridden. However, there are many outstanding students and teachers in the Gezhi Academy he opened in Shanghai. Luan Xueqian was sponsored by Xu Shou." Weng Tongxiu said.
"Oh, what a pity! Have you seen Luan Xueqian?" Guan Xuqing continued to ask.
"I haven't." Weng Tongxiu said.
Guan Xuqing thought for a while and said, "That's it. You are responsible for contacting them and recruiting all outstanding talents to Beijing. I will open the university next month to continuously provide talents to the country."
"Abide by the order, dare you ask the emperor, is the name of the university ready?" Weng Tongshu asked.
