The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

People's minds change!

Mr. Zhu can clearly see that people's hearts have changed in recent years. read

In town! Outside the city! Two worlds!

"Should we learn Spanish now?"

"What a joke!"

Zhou Yuan did not dare to scold Magistrate Yin, but he did dare to complain about this new official document.

Spanish, how can it be so easy to learn?

"Oh! I have already asked a few friends. If you want to go to the school to study, they are willing to accept it, and it will not count the tuition for one year. You have a foundation in the Four Books and Five Classics, so it is good to learn some practical knowledge."

Mr. Zhu sighed softly. At this time, he couldn't bear to scold Zhou Yuan for not knowing etiquette. Anyone who has learned knowledge all his life will go crazy if he is told that he has to take another exam at the end of his life.

"Yes, sir!"

A few people wanted to ask more questions, but Bai Gui stopped them at the right time, and they slowly left.

Mr. Zhu needs to rest at this time.

It was spring and the sun was shining brightly.

Several people walked out of the living room.

"The students in these schools have gone too far."

Bai Xiaowen muttered dissatisfiedly.

Unlike Confucian students like them who came from the imperial examination, students in these schools opened in Xi'an do not need to pass the county examination. As long as they have excellent grades in the school and obtain a certain ranking, they can directly enter the college examination or the government examination.

But this is just an old system from the Song Dynasty.

Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty created the Sanshe Law and abolished the imperial examination for a time. The purpose of promoting talents for the country is to conduct examinations in Taixue, and the students of Taixue are divided into three categories: Shangshe, Neishe, and Waishe. Students with excellent grades in the upper house can be directly awarded officials, students in the inner house can directly take the imperial examination, and students in the lower house can take the provincial and municipal examinations or pass the civil service examination before being awarded officials.

Old wine in new bottles!

In 1901, the imperial court promulgated the "School Election Encouragement Regulations", which stipulated that officials could be selected from outstanding graduates of the school. There is also the "Imperial School Charter" in 1902, which stipulates that graduates of higher primary schools, middle schools, normal schools, colleges and universities, and university halls will be given the titles of attached students, Gongsheng, Juren, and Jinshi respectively. However, although this provision was promulgated, it was not implemented.

The same is true for students in these schools now. There is no need for county examinations. Those with good rankings can directly take the college examinations and government examinations.

In the country, this is understandable.

This is because the talents selected by the Eight-Guard Scholar Recruitment are really unfit for cultivation and can no longer adapt to the development of the new era, let alone this time when the nation is in danger.

But for these Confucian scholars in the countryside, it was a devastating blow.

"My husband has said that he can recommend us to the school and exempt us from tuition for one year..."

Bai Gui's tone paused slightly. In this county examination, except for him, the remaining four people could pass the county examination, but when it came to the government examination and the college examination, even without the translation subject, it was obviously difficult to pass both examinations.

Besides, the Qing government was in danger now. He had a problem, it would be easy to pass the imperial examination, and he was the head of the county examination, so he was basically stable, so he chose this easiest path.

But for Lu Zhaopeng and others, the best way out is to learn practical knowledge in the school. Of course, he had to take this opportunity to go to school to learn practical skills, so that he could be useful.

The Four Books and Five Classics are only the foundation for middle school. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, if you did not learn Western learning, you would eventually fall behind. The education system in the previous life was only about enlightening the people's wisdom, and when it came to practical learning, other than going to a university to study in a specialized field, it was only half-assed. Of course, some big names do not fall into this category.

In the reform of higher education, the so-called high school was originally just college preparatory courses.

The 633 academic system implemented in later generations is also called the 1922 new academic system, which was established by Amei Ken.

"That's all, let's go to school to learn Spanish first, and then try again when the government exam comes..."

With a sigh, several people had no choice but to accept this best choice.

If you study quickly, you might be able to pass the government examination. If you are slow to learn..., it can only be regarded as bad luck.

The tuition fees for studying in a school are quite expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary families.

Being able to waive one year's tuition is a tribute to Mr. Zhu's efforts. But it also has something to do with their grades. They are also Confucian students who passed the county examination, and they can be regarded as outstanding people, so it is easy to talk about it.

Except for normal college students who do not need to pay tuition fees, students in all other schools must pay tuition fees. However, normal students also need to pay a deposit of ten silver dollars, which will be released after graduation.

In 1904, the "Outline of Academic Affairs" stipulated: "The tuition fee shall be five yuan per month."

In other words, according to the regulations set by the Qing court, students enrolled in each school must pay a minimum of five silver dollars per month. But there must be additional revenue increases at the local level. Five yuan is just the basic tuition fee, and there are other tuition, miscellaneous fees, meal expenses, etc.

Even if the Bai family and the Lu family go to school, they will suffer a lot of blood!

Brother Xun couldn't afford to go to school after his family fell into decline. So I chose to go to Jiangnan Naval Academy, which is equivalent to a military school. Tuition is free and subsidies are provided.

But entering a military academy is a fool's errand. Not much better than normal college students. People with a little wealth would not choose these two tuition-free schools.

"By the way, Zhaopeng, your dad is researching how to make white pheasants into gourd chickens. Are you done with it?"

For a moment, everyone felt a little heavy.

Bai Gui changed the topic and asked.

Gourd chicken is a famous dish in Qin Province. According to legend, it was a royal dish in the Tang Dynasty. When officials came to Qin Province to taste the dishes, this gourd chicken was the first famous dish.

However, the quality and taste of white pheasant are still different from local chicken.

This all needs improvement.

"Epa has almost improved it. Although the taste cannot be compared with our Japanese Japanese chicken, the taste is quite novel and should be a big seller."

When this matter was mentioned, Lu Zhaopeng's face looked much better, and he was beaming with joy.

Although the Lu family was a little "ashamed" of talking about the gourd chicken, after seeing the huge profits generated by the gourd chicken and the wealth it could bring to the entire Bailu Village, and its good reputation, they did not refuse.

Japanese chicken is a chicken produced in Sanyao Village in Xi'an City. Chickens raised elsewhere don't taste right.

"Well, before we go to school, we should also go back to the village..."

Bai Gui said.

Since they followed Bai Jiaxuan to Zishui County, they have been focusing on their studies, so they have not returned to the village. They only ask people from neighboring villages who come to the county to carry letters.

After going to Xi'an City, I don't know when I will come back. I might as well go back to the village.

"Okay! Let's go back to the village together then."

Several people nodded.

"Brother Bai, the location selection for the stores in the city has been completed soon. Since we plan to go to the school, we will write a letter and change the address of the store to Yongning Gate. That is the root of our school in the city. , it’s easy for us to take care of them.”

Zhou Yuan pondered for a while and suggested.

This decision was quickly passed. It would be better to open a store under your nose.
