However, after the overall tour, Liu Zongzhou still put forward an opinion: "Just now at the entrance of the academy, why didn't you put up the sign of Donglin Academy?"
Liu Zongzhou thinks this is very important. The so-called improper name will mean bad words. Most of the people he brought are Donglin Party members, so the academy that he runs must be Donglin Academy!
But Yang Shanlu had already prepared for this. Haha, if the Donglin Academy brand was hung up, wouldn't I make wedding clothes for others? This kind of thing must not be done.
Of course, how to persuade a stubborn person like Liu Zongzhou, Yang Shanlu had already thought about it. He just smiled and said to Liu Zongzhou: "Please look at the old gentleman, I have made the sign of the college."
Speaking of Yang Shanlu, he ordered someone to carry out a plaque. The plaque was 3 feet high, made of nanmu, and written in 4 big golden characters—Tianxia Academy.
Yang Shanlu explained with a grin: "Please look at the old gentleman. I think it is better to use the name Tianxia Academy. The original Donglin Academy was founded by Gu Xiancheng and other sages. If the old gentleman continues to use this Brand, does it mean that you have inherited the mantle of others
And if you use Tianxia Academy, it will be even more magnificent, showing that this was created by you, old gentleman, and it is not for training talents for a single party, but for the entire world! More atmospheric! "
"This..." Liu Zongzhou frowned, although he felt that Yang Shanlu had some truth, but he still felt that something was wrong.
At this time, Yang Shanlu came over and whispered: "In addition, it is good for the old gentleman to know that I am actually under a lot of pressure to open this academy, so if this is to hang the sign of Donglin Academy, Apart from other things, my father will definitely not be able to pass! The so-called father-son relationship... So I have to ask the boss to forgive me."
"Humph-"
Liu Zongzhou just snorted, thinking that if the traitor Yang Sichang could pass, it would be strange! But since this is the case, he doesn't say anything anymore. After all, he said that the silver of the academy was provided by Yang Shanlu. If the hard-pressed people disagree, he must be caught blind.
As for Yang Shanlu, he was very happy to see Liu Zongzhou passed here... This is a dispute of status!
Then naturally needless to say, after people hang up the plaque, it will have the finishing touch... The four big characters of the golden and brilliant Tianxia Academy have an extraordinary momentum of their own.
And then to talk about the source of students, Yang Shanlu said: "In addition, regarding the source of students, the next official thinks so. This is a place for training talents, so we need to select the best candidates. Choose from 13-year-old children, and select the intelligent and intelligent ones for training. Each period is 6 years, and the number can be tentatively set at 500 people per period. What does the old man think?"
"It's okay." Liu Zongzhou just nodded. Generally, the young children who enter school in Ming Dynasty are from seven or eight to thirteen or fourteen, and the students cultivated here can be regarded as his named disciples in the future. Of course, it is necessary to select the seedlings for cultivation, and cultivate them carefully.
After Yang Shanlu heard his consent, he was also very happy. In that case, the training of Daming's compound talents started.
What Yang Shanlu didn't know was that, in the biographies of future historians, the first batch of 500 young children recruited was similar to the later Huangpu Phase I, which was called the Captive Phase I! And as these students complete their studies and enter the job market, Daming will also embark on a new era!
After that, Yang Shanlu didn't say much. Liu Zongzhou and the others came all the way, and they were struggling, so let them rest as soon as possible. If you have anything you can say slowly later.
After Yang Shanlu returned to the garrison office, he then wrote a development outline for the National Academy. In good time, he could communicate with Liu Zongzhou and set the tone for the academy's development as soon as possible.
After the next day, Yang Shanlu rushed to the academy immediately after washing up.
To say that the college is very close to his garrison hall, so it was very convenient to come in the past.
When he arrived at the academy, he saw that Liu Zongzhou's disciples had already moved into their yards, and the surrounding environment was also cleaned up, which already seemed a bit regular.
At this time Liu Zongzhou was also up. After Yang Shanlu found him, he showed him the development outline.
Only when Liu Zongzhou read the first page, he was already furious, looking at Yang Shanlu and staring: "You are telling me why you are the dean of the academy! And I am just the vice dean!"
"The old man is a clear lesson." Yang Shanlu was prepared for this, and said calmly: "Actually, the dean is not the dean. I just put a name on it. After all, you know the old man. As the commander of Zhenluwei, there are a lot of things to worry about. Where is there time to talk about the academy? So in fact, you are here to preside over the academy! Old gentleman can rest assured!"
"Huh! If that's the case, then why do you hang up on this false name!" Liu Zongzhou was reluctant. He was not fighting for this name, but it was related to the status of future students, so he had to fight.
"Haha—" Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it: "It's true that the old man said that the reason for this is actually fooling his father. After all, you also know that if he knew that you were the dean of the college, he would never Agree!"
"Huh, I need him to agree if I shouldn't be the dean?" Liu Zongzhou hummed angrily, but after that he didn't speak anymore, behaving in acquiescence to Yang Shanlu's explanation, after all, Yang Shanlu's name was just a false name.
But Yang Shanlu was very happy when he saw that he was convinced... Haha, even if it is a false name, it is very important! Because this is called a famous teacher!
In the future, all the talents cultivated here are his students! As for how much effect this has, please refer to the later President Jiang.
At this time, Liu Zongzhou continued to look down, but it was the second article afterwards, which made him more satisfied. This is a school motto. For example, at the original Donglin Academy, there was the famous couplet-the sound of wind and rain. , The sound is heard, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, and everything is concerned.
Although the later members of the Donglin Party misrepresented this scripture, it has to be said that such a positive and progressive political concept is very useful for building the reputation of the academy.
And now, the World Academy also needs to have such a school motto, and Yang Shanlu's motto is the sentence he praised Liu Zongzhou at the beginning-Gou Li country is already alive and dead, how can we avoid misfortune
This sentence was set as the school motto, not only in these troubled times, it is very appropriate, but also in Liu Zongzhou's opinion, there is a suspicion of'suffering him', so it is quite satisfactory.
Moreover, Yang Shanlu's execution ability was still very strong. At this time, there were already seven or eight craftsmen who brought in a piece of Taihu stone engraved with that motto, and then placed this huge piece of Taihu stone on the lawn of the academy...
When Liu Zongzhou saw it, he nodded slightly, and said that this little doll, his brain is still very spiritual... Such a piece of Taihu stone, placed on the lawn, is not only a landscape, but also can always lash and warn students. It is really a stroke of God. what…
And seeing Liu Zongzhou's satisfaction, Yang Shanlu was also happy in his heart. This can be regarded as a small flattery to Liu Zongzhou. After all, this old gentleman doesn't love money, but he values fame most.
After finishing this, Yang Shanlu said: "By the way, old gentleman, can the other gentlemen in the academy introduce to me? Including their specialties and so on, I will be able to know."
"This is okay." Liu Zongzhou said, and he threw him a booklet. Yang Shanlu opened it and read... The 50 teachers who came this time have all been recorded in the book.
Haha, the old gentleman is still very strict in doing things. Yang Shanlu was very satisfied when he saw it, and then he looked excitedly... I wonder if there is such a great sage in the future? After all, this is the person Liu Zongzhou selected...
Then Yang Shanlu looked at them one by one... Chen Que, this is a celebrity who has real talents and is also one of Liu Zongzhou's three major disciples. This person can come to the academy to teach.
Then Yang Shanlu saw a few good names, which made him secretly happy, but when Yang Shanlu continued to look down, his hands shook in surprise!
Yan Yingyuan? Liheng
Damn, it's impossible! Isn't this the famous Jiangyin official
Because this one is so famous! When the later Man Qing conquered the Central Plains, relying on a small Jiangyin city, set the famous Jiangyin 81st! As a result, the Qing army lost three kings and eighteen generals in a row, and 75,000 people died!
Even after being captured at the end, he will never surrender! Go to death with a smile! It is a famous national hero! The integrity will always hang on to the world!
Even according to the evaluation of later generations, if there are more cities like Jiangyin, under the heavy losses of the Qing Dynasty, the inability to control the Central Plains will say certain! It can be seen that Yan Yingyuan has made great contributions! But now...
Such an outstanding person actually came to the academy? Heroes of the world have come to vote
And seeing Yang Shanlu so gaffe, Liu Zongzhou took a curious look, and after he saw Yan Yingyuan’s name, he said with some pride: "Do you know him? This person is not my disciple, but recommended by an old friend of mine." Yes, I saw him with average literary talent, but he has outstanding knowledge and is a rare talent, so I brought him here."
Does this need to be said? Yang Shanlu couldn't help but slander in his heart, if a hero, a famous hero, would he have no experience!
Only after it was finally confirmed, Yang Shanlu almost couldn't help but cheer. This is Delong Wangshu... I wanted to be Long, but I could look at Shu! It's really a surprise to open an academy that cultivates talents and still attract such heroes.
Moreover, based on Yang Shanlu's understanding of Yan Yingyuan, his specialty is far from literary talent, but rather outstanding military talent!
After all, relying on a lone city in Jiangyin, you can defend for eighty-one days and compromise my invincible three kings and eighteen generals. How many people can do it
This is very important for Yang Shanlu's future planning.
That's right, because the academy in Yangshanlu's plan is not to cultivate useless rubbish that can only write stereotypical essays!
What Yang Shanlu wants to promote is quality education! We need compound talents with comprehensive development in all aspects!
For example, Yang Shanlu plans to increase agricultural education and military education in the future... Only in this way can he cultivate compound talents.
But now, with a military prodigy like Yan Yingyuan, with a little bit of dialling at most, there will be a ready-made military instructor. How can this not make him happy
However, in the following, Yang Shanlu didn't find anyone who surprised him, but on the whole, he was satisfied. The disciples Liu Zongzhou brought were all carefully selected by him, even if they weren't considered famous in the world. , That is also the best choice.
But seeing that Liu Zongzhou was still reading the school-running outline, Yang Shanlu felt that instead of waiting for Liu Zongzhou to go crazy, he might as well say it first, so Yang Shanlu said: "Old sir, I still have some immature things about how to manage the college. If there are any inappropriate ideas, please ask the old man Yazheng."
"Then tell me!" Liu Zongzhou didn't care, and he really didn't care... Xindao, I've been learning all my life, can I be inferior to you
Unexpectedly, what Yang Shanlu said next was really shocking him.
Just listen to Yang Shanlu said: "My opinion is that the content of the professors in the academy should be changed! That is to say, the content of the four books and the five classics will account for at most half! And the other half can teach miscellaneous studies!
For example, agronomy and military knowledge, so as to cultivate all-round development talents. "
"What? How can this be?" Liu Zongzhou, who had a leisurely attitude, suddenly looked like a cat with exploded fur!
For him, students should study the Four Books and Five Classics! That represents the sage's whispers! Ethical articles! It must not be tampered with! Not to mention learning other messy things!
When Yang Shanlu saw his reaction, he had already expected it. Yang Shanlu didn't rush and said, "The old gentleman is calm, listen to me slowly.
Let's put it this way, the situation in the country is difficult now. After the students in the academy are trained, they must be appointed as officials, so that they can govern the place with their knowledge and change the increasingly difficult situation of Ming. "
"Well, that's for sure." Liu Zongzhou had no doubt about this. If they were trained, they would only be able to chant poems and paint all day long, wouldn't it be playing the piano!
And this is right!
Yang Shanlu immediately said: "But in this case, the old man has insights into world affairs and he must also know how much practicality can the so-called talents cultivated in this way have
They may all be able to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics upside down, and come up with all kinds of historical allusions at hand... But how does this help the governance of the place? And this is a living example!
Why are there so-called officials who are so slippery as oil! Isn’t it because these big masters are not able to understand the following affairs and can only be deceived by the people below? "
What Liu Zongzhou heard was speechless... What Yang Shanlu said is a real problem and cannot be avoided.
"As for the establishment of agricultural education and military education, it is easy to understand how many people are going to starve to death every day in Daming! As for the establishment of military education, let alone!
Look, old gentleman, it's like this time when the Qing soldiers entered the bandit, I lost all 56 battles of Ming Dynasty! You must know how terrible the defeat was.
But why is it so? One of the important reasons! It is the lack of many outstanding generals who have been systematically trained! Can these soldiers continue to fight in the future
So the college we are opening now is to train the talents that Daming needs! That being the case, should you say that military education should be increased? "
Liu Zongzhou stopped talking, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally felt that what Yang Shanlu said was reasonable. It is undeniable that Liu Zongzhou's thinking has some limitations, but he has a real patriotic heart! So now I do recognize these problems.
"But despite this, the content of the Four Books and Five Classics is too small, at least 70% of it! After all, the sage's micro-talk is the foundation of human beings and cannot be ignored!" However, Liu Zongzhou still wants to increase the proportion of traditional education as much as possible. .
"No! Seventy percent is too much! Now with Daming's dilemma, the Four Books and Five Classics can't be solved at all! So I think half of it at most!" Yang Shanlu flatly rejected it.
If there are other teachers from the academy passing by, you will find such a scene. The famous Guoxue master, as well as the commander of the dignified town Luwei, are like two market vendors. Qizhu must compare...
In fact, how did they know that the competition between the two is the foundation of the academy!
However, in the end, the two reached a unified opinion... Again, the two have different political ideas, but both have a patriotic heart! The fundamental direction is the same! So there is no irreconcilable contradiction!
So it was finally decided that the four books and the five classics accounted for 55%, and the rest of the miscellaneous studies accounted for 45%.
Liu Zongzhou can barely accept this, and Yang Shanlu is not to mention it. This is a big victory from the original idea! And the significance of this to the entire Ming Dynasty, it will be unparalleled...
As for the content of miscellaneous studies, the three aspects of agriculture, military affairs, and arithmetic are preliminarily determined.
But now that it was confirmed, Liu Zongzhou frowned and said, "However, I didn't prepare for these three courses at the beginning, so if they are taught, where do the teachers in this area come from?"
"Please don't worry about this, old gentleman." You are not prepared, but I have prepared it a long time ago. Yang Shanlu said with confidence: "Agronomy teacher, I recommend Han Lin, our teacher of the Department of Experience.
Don’t think he is just a princess. This person is not only a disciple of Xu Guangqi and Xu Shangshu, but also his agronomy. The old gentleman came along and saw the situation of the town’s Weituntian clearly. Right... And this is Mr. Han Linhan's masterpiece! "
"If that's the case, then it's okay." Liu Zongzhou nodded. He is not very proficient in agronomy, but Liu Zongzhou still sees what he sees in the farm on the road.
Seeing that Liu Zongzhou agreed, Yang Shanlu continued to pursue the victory: "As for teaching military teachers, I recommend Yan Yingyuan."
"Oh, you probably have never seen him before... How do you know that he has such talents?" Liu Zongzhou said in surprise.
Yang Shanlu laughed when he heard it: "Hehe, although I haven't seen him, I have long heard of the name." Yang Shanlu said a joke, such a famous national hero, can I not know him!
In fact, according to Yang Shanlu's original plan, Qi Zhenzong was going to go up. Anyway, the academy is in Tiancheng City, and the training and teaching are correct, but now, it is even better.
"This..." Since Yang Shanlu is so admired, Liu Zongzhou thought for a while, and thought it was okay. With Yang Shanlu's vision of an unparalleled fierce general, his recommendation can be assured.
"Then there is still arithmetic, who are you going to teach?"
"Hehe, there is no other suitable person for this, so let me teach it..." Yang Shanlu said with a smile.
"What? You will teach you?" Liu Zongzhou's surprised eyes widened. How could Yang Shanlu also be a magnificent commander of the guard! Senior third-ranking official! But now? Are you willing to teach students in person
And Yang Shanlu smiled when he saw it, what's wrong with teaching students! This will bring him closer to these students!
Moreover, according to his plan, it is only half an hour of teaching every day, which is not time-consuming, but the effect is not small.
It can make him, the dean, no longer a vague concept, but a living character! To put it in a fashionable way, let them unite closely around the center with Yang Shanlu as the core, and be deeply imprinted by him as the dean of the academy!
After all, only Yang Shanlu knows what miracles the students taught by this new education method will create when they are distributed like dandelions in the future...
After the conversation, Yang Shanlu was sitting on the carriage returning to the garrison hall, still very happy.
Today’s talks finally reached an agreement with Liu Zongzhou, and this also means that under the flap of his butterfly wings, the Tianxia Academy, which did not exist in the history of Ming Dynasty, is about to open smoothly.
Five days later, the first batch of 200 students were delivered. These were selected from the entire town’s prison guards. There are now nearly 60,000 civilian households and military households in the town’s prison guards. There are three to four thousand school-age children. The total enrollment of the college is only 500, so there is still a lot of room for selection.
After these young children were selected and officially enrolled in school, Yang Shanlu basically let go (to teach arithmetic after a year).
Didn't you see that Liu Zongzhou and the others are more attentive than him? After all, aside from political ideas, these people are willing to come to remote towns to teach and educate people. They themselves are really willing to do something for this country and this nation!
Therefore, everyone can work together to cultivate talents and change Daming... It is to become bright!
