v11 Chapter 35: Education imperative

Ninomiya Zunxing, who was introduced to Tokugawa Jiading, became smoother and smoother. This is all the successful experience accumulated over decades by him, his father, and a large group of friends. It is almost engraved into his bones. How can he say it? Not smooth.

Moreover, the combination of theory and practice, the actual situation in the local countryside, and the various problems encountered, Er Gong Zunxing pointed out one by one. Some people even believed that the landowners supported their cattle and horses, and protested against Ninomiya Zunde's experiment in agricultural reform. Ninomiya Zonde used the instructions of the gods to influence the peasants to continue.

Each one is an invaluable experience. Now that Ninomiya Zunde has passed away, fortunately, Ninomiya Zunxing has inherited his mantle. And Tomita Gaoqing sorted out his experience and measures, and compiled them into a book, so that future generations can follow them.

"Your father and son are loyal and diligent, and I am very relieved." The Tokugawa family listened very seriously, and also expressed appreciation to the Er Gong and his son.

"I don't dare to call you work for the sake of your superior." Er Gong Zunxing was very excited.

The joy of being recognized, and generally recognized, for one's life's work is incomparable. Right now, it only takes the Tokugawa family to nod their heads, and they can fully implement their father and son's "retribution to morality" within the Tianling. His father hopes to realize the beautiful wish of the world, which may be achieved in his generation.

"Chuemon, what do you think?" Tokugawa Jiading turned to Chuemon.

Just listening to Er Gong Zunxing said, it seems that it can indeed be implemented. And Chuemon is an old middle minister who strongly supports the promotion of change. If it is really to be implemented in the sky, it must be presided over by Chuemon at the center. Ninomiya Zunxing and others will implement it locally.

"My brother thinks that it is not too late for this matter." Chungemon took advantage of the time when Ninomiya Zunxing was talking just now, and sorted out his thoughts.

"If the money is 500,000 yuan..." The Tokugawa family is definitely not reluctant to pay, he has to entrust another trusted person to take charge of the cashier's income and expenditure of this money.

Money can be spent, but this money is not brought by strong winds. It has to be spent clearly, and the Tokugawa family can only be willing in their hearts.

"You can pay 100,000 yuan first, and 100,000 yuan will be used to help support the loan method. First, it will be implemented in one state of Wuzhou. If Wuzhou is fully ruled, it will be implemented in Tianling. As for the remaining 400,000..." Zhongyouemon got up. , stood in front of a crowd.

"How?" Tokugawa Jiading and a group of seniors all looked at Chuemon.

"To integrate temple houses, academic institutes, private schools and colleges in Tianling, establish three (shielded) schools, and order all children from six to twelve years old in the common people's family to enroll in school, and teach the people to educate them!" A series of recent events are all in It points to the establishment of a modern education system.

The literacy rate of the townspeople in the Edo period was very high. Of course, it was only higher than the pseudonym. To put it more bluntly, most of the townspeople in the Edo castle knew pinyin. It is precisely because of the knowledge of pinyin that the civic culture of Edo can flourish and develop, so that various art forms appear and compete for beauty.

Now Chuemon is not only to promote elementary education under the Edo Castle, but also to implement elementary education in the entire Tenryo. It doesn't need to be too long. Now, four years of compulsory primary education will be realized in Tianling. Let the children in Tianling at least be literate and count, and have the most basic cultural level.

It's not just boys who have to go to school, but girls too. Whether a man will serve in a public office or fight with a gun in the future, the literate one is better than the illiterate one. When girls are enrolled in school, tens of thousands of textile and silk reeling factories all over Japan in the future will need a huge number of female textile workers. The literate female textile workers will definitely be stronger than the illiterate ones.

The focus is to train and select children who are smart enough to enter secondary schools for three to five years after primary education. After high school graduation, this person can be used.

At least it's better than the incompetent old bureaucrats of the shogunate!

With good academic performance, the shogunate can subsidize him to go to school and exempt all tuition fees. And government-run elementary schools can also provide a lunch. It doesn't need to be great, just learn from Naomasa Nabeshima's experience.

Salted rice balls!

For the two salted rice **** at noon, all the children of Quan Saga came to school, and the money could not spend a lot, and it was good that all the children were happy to go to school.

Speaking of 10,000 and 10,000, the shogunate must pull up a self-motivated grassroots management team that is at least stronger than it is now, so that it can carry out larger-scale and larger-scale reforms. If the team building is not strengthened, talking about anything will be in vain.

It only takes ten years for the shogunate to train thousands of newcomers, and with these thousands of qualified middle school students, the reforms in Tianling can be officially launched in an all-round way.

A large part of the reason for the failure of past reforms is that they are unpopular. Without a strong enough team, Chuemon is not going to talk about reforms.

Some people may ask, even if you have implemented education, how can you ensure that these people will be used by you in the future? We don't need everyone to be available to me, just half of them.

The new government in history has done this stuff, but it has also achieved results.

"My brother thought that after the establishment of a new primary school, the "Educational Order" should be issued!"

The primary schools in this world were established by the always great, always bright, and always correct general, who used his own money to teach the people of the world. Subjects and people should be grateful for the eternal grace of General Tokugawa. After receiving education, he repaid the shogunate's heart with boxing and sacrificed for General Tokugawa.

Every student must be a loyal and brave subject of General Fuyi, and contribute all his efforts to the development and continuation of the shogunate. The general's rule of the world can last forever and forever.

Needless to say, when Chuemon expressed the central idea of ​​the "Educational Order", all the seniors and juniors in the room realized what it contained.

Of course, the Tokugawa family hoped that all the people in the world would always obey the shogunate, but it turns out that there are too many rebels in the world. .

The rebels hiding and lurking in the shadows are innumerable. Since I can't kill all the rebels, I will increase my subjects. With the change, the number of people who supported the shogunate increased, and the strength against the shogunate decreased.

If all the subjects and people in the world can understand the general's selfless love for the people, and make them appreciate the general's rule, the world of the shogunate will be at peace, peace, and harmony.

"Okay, excellent!" Tokugawa Jiading, who was just lying down, stood up rarely.
