Chapter 41 Foundation
The campus under the night is quiet and peaceful. Many buildings are immersed in the dark. There is a place that is bright. It is a large two-story building. Now each floor is brightly lit, and bright yellow lights shine on the ground outside through the glass windows.
This is the library reading room of Xiangzhou Prefecture School. Because of the eternal light, teachers and students can read all night.
At this time, the reading room was full, and many people were reading books, or writing, doing homework.
No one was making a loud noise, no one whispered, and there was no other sound except for the rustling sound of the book, the slight footsteps and the coughing sounds from time to time.
In a corner of the reading room, Yu Wenwen, dressed as a scholar, sat upright in front of the desk. Looking at the students around him who were studying hard, he felt as if he had returned to his college years.
After nine years of compulsory education, three years of high school, thousands of troops passed the college entrance examination single-plank bridge. He successfully came to the other side and entered the university campus.
This is a new world. The "student monks" who have been withered for twelve years have gotten rid of various "clear rules and regulations". Without the nagging of parents and teachers, young college students have finally gained freedom.
Some people enjoy the beauty of youth, while others are still reading books in the library. At that time, he was somewhere between the two, putting away his fun for his dreams and working hard for his dreams.
Knowledge changes destiny, and this sentence inspires countless people, and he is one of them, but the reality is cruel. After graduation, people may not be able to live a "financial freedom" life for two or three decades.
After reading for so many years, why can’t I develop?
First, you have bad luck, and second, you have too low starting point.
He came from an ordinary family, without the support of his elders, deep connections, and no family business to inherit, and he could only rely on himself.
Like many people, he worked hard, but he was still far away from his dream.
Roommates in the same dormitory have very different situations after graduation one year. Some are running around as newcomers in the workplace, while some become the vice president of a family business as soon as they graduate, wearing suits and ties to high-end office buildings, chatting and laughing with elites from all walks of life.
I drive a luxury car and live in a villa, and the beauties around me change each time.
The difference between their starting points is so huge that it makes people feel helpless, so many people are questioning: Is reading useful?
Yuwen Wen found it useful.
Reading can increase a person's upper limit, but hard work may not necessarily bring enough rewards.
But if you don’t work hard, there will be no reward.
All kinds of second generations are exceptional.
Nowadays, there are exceptions for the aristocratic families and powerful people.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Wen put away his thoughts and looked at the students who were working hard in front of him again. He was very satisfied with the current situation of the state school.
That year, the destruction of the Yuchi family, and how to deal with the Imperial Palace in Yecheng became a big problem. After some discussion, the officials in the court made a decision.
The main buildings of this palace were demolished, and a new complex was built on the original foundation, serving as the campus of Xiangzhou Prefecture School.
After several years of construction, Xiangzhou Prefecture School is now the largest school in Hebei region. Its hardware facilities and faculty are all first-class. The number of students in school has increased year by year, and the number of students in school has exceeded 10,000 this year.
This is an amazing number, which sounds a bit unbelievable, but that's the truth.
With more than 10,000 students and over 1,000 teachers, as well as various employees, as well as huge supporting facilities, faculty and student dormitories, Xiangzhou Prefecture School is the largest in the world.
This honor was not obtained by the Beijing School, which is a bit strange, but in this era, it is actually nothing, because the land of Hebei is the richest place in the Central Plains and is qualified to have a first-class school.
At this time, Hebei was densely populated and fertile, and was a major financial place for the imperial court. Just like the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas in later generations, they were rich and rich.
It is also for this reason that all kinds of families and families of all kinds, as well as various powerful households, are spread all over Hebei.
If Yuwen Wen wants to deal with aristocratic politics, Hebei is the most critical battlefield. If he wants to destroy the foundation of aristocratic politics, he has to "make trouble" in Hebei and prepare in advance for this.
To fight, there must be an army. Yuwen Wen built a military academy in Chang'an, organized a new army, and built a school in Yecheng, and also trained a "new army".
In Chang'an, the weapon is artillery; in Yecheng, the weapon is pen.
Countless students from poor families studied in Xiangzhou, carrying the hope of their family and studying in order to change their own and family's destiny.
There are also countless students who are not from poor families who are also studying in Xiangzhou. They study not to be officials, but to be teachers.
Yes, be a teacher who teaches and educates people.
Xiangzhou Prefecture School has a "major" teacher education and a normal campus. Normal students studying here are free of tuition and 50% off for accommodation. After graduation, the school also "issued to provide" and arranged to teach in schools in various places to become "public school teachers" and teach according to the "Teaching Outline".
Being a teacher has a stable income, the school helps solve housing problems, and there are winter and summer vacations every year.
Assessment is carried out every year. In addition to improving the salary, teachers with excellent performance can also teach and become officials and become academic officials.
This is a rising channel designed by Yuwen Wen for poor students, so that they can change their destiny with their own efforts and knowledge.
During the school period, the school will arrange for students to work and study so that they can support themselves, complete their studies without increasing the burden on their families, obtain a stable job, and get an opportunity to become an official.
Of course, if the teacher trainees have the aspirations to join the army, the door of the military academy will be open to them.
This is the normal education that Yuwen Wen is promoting, which has allowed countless poor students to see hope of making a name for themselves. Therefore, after several normal schools have successively recruited students, countless students flocked to the public.
Today, Xiangzhou Prefecture School and Normal Education have more than 10,000 students. Except for more than 3,000 students who study for exams, the remaining nearly 7,000 students are all teacher students who study for teachers.
These normal teachers are short of money, cannot afford tuition fees, and cannot bear the failure of losing the exam again and again, so they chose a normal education that is free of tuition.
As long as you study hard, you will have a stable job and a stable income after graduation, and you will be able to support yourself and your wife and children. If you teach well, you will have the opportunity to become an official.
Although this road is long, it has much less risky and is very attractive to students from poor families.
Therefore, the all-night reading room of Xiangzhou Prefecture School is crowded every night. Students read books in order to change their destiny, and unknowingly, they became members of another new army in Yuwen Wen's hands.
It is actually very difficult for Yuwen Wen to deal with the family family. He must prescribe the right medicine and persist for a long time to effectively shake the foundation of the family family.
So what is the foundation of the aristocratic family?
First, there is the manor economy, and second, the monopoly on knowledge.
If these two points are not resolved, the aristocratic families will not "dead", just like wild grass, they will grow again with the spring breeze.
It is not difficult to disintegrate the manor system economy, but it is also not difficult to break the knowledge monopoly. However, Yuwen Wen has been working hard to find ways to solve various difficulties and has not rush to promote the imperial examination system.
In terms of exams, where can the poor children of today pass through the aristocratic families? Therefore, it is not enough to have an examination selection system alone, so you have to make a fuss about the content of the exam.
Set up knowledge points and let the test content draw questions around knowledge points. In this way, the knowledge advantages of children from aristocratic families will inevitably be sharply reduced, and children from poor families can quickly shorten the educational gap with children from aristocratic families by "taking shortcuts".
Yuwen Wen’s plan is to use “examination-oriented education” to deal with “quality education”, use “examination-oriented” students taught by exam-oriented education, and deal with the children of aristocratic families taught by elite education.
The success or failure of teacher education is the key to the success or failure of this strategy.
Yuwen Wen spent the whole day wandering around the campus today, and what he saw and heard made him very satisfied. The skeleton of the "New Army" has taken shape and is not far from becoming an army.
He left his seat and walked out. Yuwen Weicheng, who was sitting beside him, also stood up and followed him. The father and son completed the procedures and left the front desk. The students outside who were sitting on the stools "equal" moved.
The students in the front two went to the front desk to go to the reading room to complete the procedures. After the other students moved their seats, they still looked down at the book.
Yuwen Wen and his son walked in the corridor, casual guards followed him. He looked at the campus under the night and felt a little moved.
The imperial palace that was back then has now become a school, and his small palace is now in the corner of the "Forbidden City", and it is very lively with the campus.
He suddenly stopped, looked back at the brightly lit library, and asked his son: "What did you see?"
Yuwen Weicheng thought for a moment and replied, "Father, the child sees hope."
"Yes, hope." Yuwen Wen was very satisfied with his son's answer, patted the other party on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "When people have hope, they will be full of fighting spirit. If they are guided correctly, it will be a powerful force."
"The era of high-ranking no poor men and low-ranking no nobles must end. Even if you have to work hard for twenty years, thirty years, forty years or even longer, it is worth it. Maybe it doesn't matter if your father can't wait for that time, just as long as you can see it."
When Yuwen Weicheng heard his father talk about life and death, he was a little nervous: "My father is in full swing now..."
"As soon as a person dies, all immortality is a lie." Yuwen Wen smiled and continued to move forward. "Remember, if you don't want to see all the civil and military officials in the court, you have to rely on the imperial examination."
In the original history, even though the imperial examinations were held during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the aristocratic families withdrew from the historical stage. It took more than two hundred years to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and Yuwen Wen has been working hard to shorten this time span.
He wanted to watch the political collapse of aristocratic families in his lifetime, but he was not sure of doing so.
It doesn't matter, because he still has a son to take over this important task.
