Chapter 254
With the rapid establishment of primary and secondary schools in various parts of the Song Dynasty.
The entire Great Song Dynasty has entered a new stage, and the establishment of so many schools is bound to greatly increase the literacy rate of the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
The role of junior schools alone is very amazing. Such junior schools will greatly improve the literacy rate of children in the Song Dynasty, thereby greatly improving the civilization level of the entire Song Dynasty.
In the process of teaching in these years, the intermediate school has revised its teaching purpose several times, in addition to teaching more and deeper articles and craftsman knowledge.
The teaching of primary knowledge, which has been extensively summarized, such as agricultural operations and business, has been added.
This enables children who have received primary school education to be literate and able to read and understand most articles, and can also perform simple arithmetic calculations.
The intermediate school is even more powerful. Not only did they learn the basic knowledge of various industries, but they also learned the basic operation methods of various industries. Many children who love various industries have also learned more deeply about their favorite industries.
This makes not only the students in intermediate schools very sought-after, but also many business people at home, even when they encounter problems, they start to ask their children who are studying in intermediate schools how to solve the problems they encounter.
Some businessmen even regard the children who are studying in intermediate schools as the main personnel when making important decisions in the family business, and they must listen to the opinions of the children before making important decisions.
And those people whose families are relatively difficult and unable to provide their children to continue to attend intermediate schools, after their children have graduated from elementary schools.
Each of them has also become the pillar of the family, not of course the pillar of labor, but the capable person who knows the most in the family and can help the family make suggestions.
Now in many commercial shops, as long as children from elementary schools go to work with them, they will be exempted from apprenticeship for a few years, and at least they will be hired as their official employees, and the wages are not bad.
The owners of those commercial shops are also very willing to recruit children from such junior schools.
Although most of them are only in their early teens, these children are not only literate, but also good at arithmetic. They are ready to become future accountants. After a few years of training, once they open a new store, they will already have an accountant.
Many Confucian scholars are very dissatisfied with this point.
After all, only a very small proportion of people are able to gain fame and enter official careers every year. Most people still have to return to ordinary people's lives and plan for three meals a day.
But in the past two years, although a large number of children from junior schools cannot threaten the employment status of adults like them, they are very clear that those business owners prefer to use these children.
In the eyes of those businessmen, these children are more obedient and not as noble as those scholars. They are not like those sour scholars who take the salary they give but behave as if they are giving themselves a bite of food.
These businessmen had no choice before, because these guys were the only ones who had read books and could read.
It is different now. Every year, due to family difficulties, many children who are unable to support them to enter intermediate schools after finishing elementary schools stop studying and start looking for ways to help their families make money.
These children are highly sought after by businessmen, who directly hire these children to work in their shops.
There are no profiteers, no business, at the beginning some people let these children be apprentices like other children because of their young age.
As a result, these children were soon poached by other businessmen, making them regret not falling, but they had no choice. The children of apprentices had no salary at all, let alone signed any contracts.
Later, those businessmen were very tacit and worked out reasonable treatment for these children.
These children know some knowledge, and they are obedient and easy to use, but after all, they have never been exposed to these before, and they have never actually operated them.
So they all tacitly positioned these children as middle-paid guys in their own firms or shops.
Because of experience, it is impossible to be appointed as a senior clerk under the accounting office as soon as he comes. He can temporarily replace the accounting office. It is right to train according to the accounting office, but businessmen are not stupid, and they all know that experience is very important.
Those scholars who were unable to study and were forced to choose to work felt a serious threat from these children.
This group of children not only have much more knowledge than when they first came here, but they are also hardworking and obedient, and they are more popular with the boss.
Those scholars have expressed their worries in private, thinking that the children who come out of these schools in the future will definitely steal their jobs.
Just children who graduate from junior schools can already threaten their current career path, and those who graduate from intermediate schools are even more serious.
Many businessmen send their children who were not valued at home to those schools, leaving the valued children to study at home.
As a result, after a few years, those children of the family who were originally valued would only shake their heads and move their heads indefinitely. The children who were not valued before had already emerged in the family and became important figures in the family business.
There are even many families who directly abandoned those children who were studying in private schools, designated these children from intermediate schools as young patriarchs, and began to give them some shops for them to manage.
The worries of those low-level Confucian scholars gradually spread to the top, but those so-called great Confucian scholars and Confucian scholars who have already become officials scoffed at this matter.
It's not like they didn't feel that these school children were a threat to the survival of low-level Confucian students.
Instead, I feel that those Confucian scholars who have been studying for more than ten years are now being messed up by those teenagers, which is really shameful.
Most importantly, these Confucian scholars have formed a mysterious sense of superiority over thousands of years. This sense of superiority is not only towards others, but their Confucian views also look down on each other.
Those who pass the exam look down on those who have passed the exam many times, but still lose their reputation. Those who pass the exam feel that they are the pride of heaven, and think that those who fail the exams are either mentally flawed or not studying hard, and you deserve to suffer.
Therefore, after these things were reported to them, they did not pay much attention to them. In their view, the way out for Confucian students was to gain fame and become officials.
Those who have studied for many years and have a lot of beards and failed the exams are basically useless. They are ashamed to work with these people and feel that these people are not worthy of being called Confucian scholars at all.
It deserves that even teenage children can threaten your existence.
The few people who want to understand that these schools will have a great impact on Confucian scholars in the future also know that these schools are highly valued by the royal family and the King of Zhenbei, and they dare not do anything against the schools.
In their view, King Zhenbei only positioned the school as the cradle of craftsmen and other low-level talents, and did not compete with their Confucians for the broad road to officialdom.
This is King Zhenbei expressing goodwill to them. They must not push their limits, otherwise King Zhenbei's methods and ruthlessness will really anger King Zhenbei and incorporate the students from these schools into the official career. That is Confucianism. A real disaster.
Therefore, those great Confucians and the so-called Confucian talents who are officials in the capital all collectively remained silent.
I was annoyed by the scholars below, so I scolded these guys, saying that they didn't work hard when they were studying, and now they had to rely on others to make a living.
When you come to such a field, you still don't want to make progress, and you have the face to say that your job is about to be robbed by a group of children. It's really embarrassing to Confucianism. If you make trouble for no reason, you will be deprived of your Confucian status.
At this moment, those scholars at the lowest level all shut up. They themselves failed many exams, and their self-confidence had been blown to nothing. Now they were reprimanded by their seniors who had given them high hopes, and they dared not talk nonsense.
After all, there are too many Confucian students who failed the exam. In order to support their families, they were forced to choose to give up the scientific exam. They chose to find a job that was considered lowly before, and they felt ashamed.
After being scolded by those officials and great Confucians this time, some people were ashamed, and more people became angry.
Although these scholars who have experienced severe beatings from society are still proud in their hearts, they also understand that there are still very few people who can succeed in studying for fame.
Those scholars who used to be like them changed their faces immediately after passing the exam, and no longer called them brothers and sisters, but regarded themselves as masters with a superior attitude.
And those of them who have failed many times, were finally forced to find a job under the pressure of survival, and now their jobs are threatened by teenagers who have not studied for a few years.
This made many people start to reflect on whether it was wrong for them to focus on studying for more than 20 or [-] years, and to regard getting a fame in the exam as the only way out.
It is of course a glory to the ancestors to be able to pass the exam, but he exhausted his family's wealth and failed to pass the exam. In the end, he found that apart from knowing a few words and writing a few articles, he had very little other survival skills.
These people are increasingly doubting whether they have taken the wrong path before, and whether their children should not be allowed to attend private schools and follow their own old path, but should be allowed to attend new schools and learn survival skills.
As more and more people have such thoughts, this group of guys started off as a quiet discussion between three or two very good friends, and finally turned into an unscrupulous debate among everyone, which one to learn from can be promising.
The result is self-evident, these Confucian scholars at the lowest level are divided.
They are divided into two factions. One group believes that Confucian students must abide by the creed and follow Mr. Kong Lao all their lives and should not be half-hearted.
The other faction thinks that they are an example. After all, there are only a small number of people who can study in high school. Their current miserable situation is a bloody lesson. Even survival is a problem, and they are talking about ideals to benefit the common people.
Then the conservatives cursed those scholars whose confidence was shaken, saying that they were traitors to Confucianism, and they wanted to draw a line with them and never interact with them.
The other faction thinks that Lao Tzu is not a traitor, that Lao Tzu is still a disciple of Mr. Confucius, and that Lao Tzu just wants his own children to go to the new school to learn some survival knowledge while learning the Confucianism I teach.
The incident this time caused a lot of uproar in the end, and it also reached the ears of those high-ranking officials and great Confucians.
These people, of course, stand without back pain, and they support the conservative rhetoric.
Severely refute those scholars who plan to let their children enter a new school, saying that they are changing their family, and it is a great crime to deceive their teachers and destroy their ancestors.
Such remarks frightened those scholars who had already wavered, but putting this hat on their heads would kill them!
What was originally just a matter of debate was determined by the so-called great Confucianism from above, and those conservatives geared up and threatened to clean up the family.
And those scholars who were originally hesitant also made up their minds to send their children to the new school.
It's no good if you don't send them. If you really send your children to the new school, those conservatives won't dare to cause trouble for you. After all, the new school was run by the King of Zhenbei.
Not to mention anything else, there are many teachers in the new school who are soldiers from Changsheng Battalion.
Only by sending the child to the new school as soon as possible can this disaster be avoided.
Suddenly, a large number of Confucian students in the new school sent their children to school. This abnormal situation was quickly reported to Xiao Qi.
When Xiao Qi learned about it, he immediately sent someone to inquire. After knowing what was going on, Xiao Qi was overjoyed. He originally thought that he would have to wait decades before he could have an impact on the deep-rooted Confucianism.
I didn't expect them to mess up and bring themselves such a big surprise.
Xiao Qi directly ordered that all the descendants of those scholars would be accepted, saying that as long as they were the children of the common people in the Song Dynasty, regardless of their background, rich or poor, they could go to school after paying the tuition fees.
Before the dust settled on this matter, Xiao Qi was notified by the system, the good news that he had dreamed of.
"Ding! The host's fourth Longli check-in task: the construction of the world's first concrete road transportation network has been completed."
"Ding! The host's fourth dragon power sign-in mission reward: increasing the host's dragon power value to dragon power level four has been issued."
"Ding! The host triggers the dragon power sign-in task five: build the world's first railway."
"Host: Xiao Qi."
"Sign-in level: Dragon Power Sign-in Level [-]."
"Sign in: No sign in this time. (After completing the sign in task, you will get a random reward from the system.)"
"This sign-in task: build the world's first railway. (Do you sign in?)
“Experience of signing in and upgrading: 4/5.”
This time, the dragon power reached level four, which made Xiao Qi feel that his strength had been greatly improved.
He clearly felt that the aura in his body had undergone a huge change. The small strands of internal aura that had circulated back and forth between the meridians in his body suddenly became like a torrent.
This feeling of bursting his meridians made Xiao Qi feel that he really wanted to go to the battlefield to charge.
Without saying anything else, Xiao Qi rode Black Carbon Head to a remote place and used his "Evil-Repelling Knife Manual" and "Overlord Spear" over and over again.
Xiao Qi practiced from noon to dark. He didn't know how many times he practiced. He just remembered that he used a knife for a while and a gun for a while. He practiced non-stop for who knows how long.
After the breath in his body stabilized, Xiao Qi found that the original air flow in the meridians had become as thick as a little finger, and it was rushing continuously.
Feel it carefully, and find that your strength at this time is more than twice as strong as before!
