"Hongjian, do you suggest Mr. Hoover run an engineering technical school?"

Meng Xiancheng, who was very disappointed, shook his head and sighed, and said in great disappointment: "Hongjian, Hongjian, you are not a student of education. You don't know..."

"Bohong, stop talking." Our Master Yuan also sighed, "I know!"

He thought to himself, I really know... because I am a time traveler!

He really doesn't understand pedagogy, but as a Cyris intellectual, how could Yuan Yanshu not know the importance of personal education and the urgency of compulsory education for all?

However, however, he is a time traveler who understands the general trend of history and is not unfamiliar with political economy.

At this time, all kinds of arguments about "saving the country" were rising one after another, such as military, finance, railways, industry, agriculture, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, mahjong... Some are serious, and some are absurd.

The theory of education saving the country was quite high at that time. Many famous intellectuals, such as Yan Fu, Liang Qichao, Cai Yuanpei, etc., were advocates and practitioners.

The mentor of the Demon Heroes and Yang Changji of Taishan, was one of the theorists of the country-saving theory. The Demon Heroes of the Demon Heroes, as his proud disciple, were naturally influenced by him.

But again, the successor of the Heavenly Demon is the descendant of the Heavenly Demon after all.

In 1917, when he was still studying at Hunan Provincial First Normal School, he wrote to a friend: "Today's reforms start with the details, such as parliament, constitution, president, cabinet, military, industry, education, everything is the details. The details are also indispensable, but these details must have their origin... The origin is the truth of the universe."

The truth of the universe...Okay, these words sound very irritating, but in fact he has followed this idea throughout his life.

The descendants of the Demons advocate starting from transforming philosophy and ethics, and “fundamentally transforming the thoughts of the whole country.”

In the future, he will "fundamentally change the national ideas" in a consistent manner.

But this is a metaphysical great question. Only communist revolutionaries like the descendants of the Demon are qualified to think, and our neoclassical liberal masters can answer the metaphysical "small questions".

This small metaphysical problem is...

He spewed out a cloud of blue smoke and asked leisurely: "Bohong, let me ask you, what is education for?"

"What is education for? Hahaha..." Meng Xiancheng laughed in silence, "Hongjian, are you enjoying me? Education is naturally to open up people's wisdom."

Our Master Yuan smiled and asked, "What about after you open up the wisdom of the people?"

Mengda educators naturally said: "After opening up people's wisdom, you can promote industry and practice democracy. If these two can be implemented smoothly, you can enrich the country and strengthen the army like Germany and Japan..."

He said it right. Among the countries around the world, Germany and Japan are the most active in carrying out compulsory education for all.

Germany, or rather, Prussia was the first country in the world to implement universal compulsory education. As early as 1717, King Friedrich William I of Prussia promulgated a "Compulsory Education Regulations", which clearly stipulated that "all minors, regardless of gender or high or low, must receive education." After William I's son Friedrich succeeded to the throne, he firmly implemented the basic national policy of compulsory education and personally signed the world's first "General Compulsory Education Law" on August 12, 1763.

The later Japanese began to implement compulsory education in the fifth year of Meiji, that is, in 1872. The Japanese government promulgated the "School System", which first put forward the slogan of popularizing primary school education, and put forward the requirement of "all households in the towns and all people in the family to learn". This was 4 years earlier than the United States and 10 years earlier than France. In 1937, when the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, their nine-year compulsory education was a creepy 89% popularization!

Yuan Yan suddenly heard this and sneered, "Does Germany and Japan use their weapons like Germany and Japan? Isn't it true that they will die if they do unrighteous things? Germany has become like this. I think the ending of the little Japanese is not much better."

Germany and Japan have been brainwashing the people with great pleasure, but they have also washed away the Second De Zi and the Third De Zi and the Great East Asia Prosperous Circle.

There is no way, compulsory education will definitely lead to nationalist education, and nationalist education has side effects.

Meng Xiancheng said unconvincedly: "There are also British, French and American..."

Master Yuan interrupted again: "Bohong, can we compare with the three great powers of Britain, France and the United States?"

"This..." Meng Xiancheng was speechless when he heard this question.

Yuan Yanshu's tone slowed down and said, "Okay, Bo Hong. Why don't you, a great educator, listen to the ideas of an economist like me?"

"We have to eat rice bite by bite, and the road must be taken step by step. Let's pay attention to the present." He advised again with a gentle voice, "Since Mr. Hoover has done this righteous act, we must do things beautifully. This is the long-term way and can also set an example for the Chinese people."

Meng Xiancheng pondered for a moment before nodding, "Hongjian, you are right. So what do you think should be done by this technical school?"

Our Master Yuan naturally had a slept with a slut, and said directly: "Bohong, I have some immature ideas, which I just happened to ask you, the great educator, to help me learn more..."

"This school has three principles, namely, work-for-relief, work-for-learning, and work-for-reward."

It must be said here that his purpose of opening this technical school is very clear, which is to train a group of senior technical workers and junior engineers. In fact, in this era, there is no difference between the two.

Of course, Yuan Yanshu knew that history had proved that if Seris wanted to carry out industrialization, he had to go through the land revolution. But is it reasonable to ask him, a high-level Chinese, to roll up his legs and start an agricultural training institute with his mud legs.

Well, he doesn't want to suffer this hardship if he says it.

Then he can only settle for the second best and cultivate some technical backbone and managerial personnel for Cyris' future industrialization.

In short, if the grassroots officers are of great importance to an army, then the importance of these technical backbones and managers to industrialization is of great importance.

As a great demon city, Yuan Hongjian naturally knew that in the Seris regional discrimination chain, the great demon city, who was afraid of his wife and the great Netherlands, which was stealing manhole covers, the great northeast of the Black Club was only half a pound, and was in the lowest position, and it was easily gathered by the people of the whole country.

However, the Cyris, who looked down on the Great Demon City, cannot deny the fact that after liberation, the Great Demon City sent a large number of engineers and technical workers to support national construction.

From the entire planned economy period after liberation to the 1970s, at least hundreds of thousands of people from the Great Demon City rushed to the whole country to support construction in various places. (Author’s note: In order to prevent disputes, this number was blurred. However, according to the information found by Murong, there should be 400,000.)

Especially in the autumn of 1964, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council decided to build a large-scale rear base for preparation, requiring Shanghai to relocate 342 basic industrial projects, involving 458 factories.

Of course, the whole country is a game of chess. Since as a Cyris, this is also the obligation of the people in the Great Demon City.

However, this shows how lacking engineers and technical workers in China at that time.

"After discussing with Mr. Hoover, I decided to put a charity school. Therefore, the targets of enrollment should be junior primary (third grade) and junior primary (sixth grade) students who are unable to continue their studies. These students not only provide free teaching but also have free food and accommodation, but also get a few sets of clothes a year. Of course, since the school provides such generous conditions, these students' daily affairs, such as cooking, purchasing and cleaning, take turns to take responsibility for themselves. The school only sends people to supervise..."

"Hongjian, is this feasible?" Meng Xiancheng couldn't help asking, "And will students delay their studies if they do this?"

Master Yuan said naturally: "What's wrong with this? Do poor children become their families early? Besides, don't you educators encourage students to manage themselves? As for delaying their studies... If they go to be apprentices, wouldn't they have to do chores for their master's wife, cook, wash clothes, take care of their children, and pour foot wash water?"

He paused and said, "Next, let's talk about using work instead of learning. This school will open more than one school-run factory. Students with a certain foundation will have to work in the factory..."

"Hongjian, you actually have to use child labor?!" Meng Xiancheng couldn't help but say loudly in a tone of blame.

Yuan Yan waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Hey, Bo Hong, I don't like to hear what you said. What kind of child laborers are not child laborers? We recruit young masters who have no worries about food and clothing. If they hadn't entered our school, they would have to go farming and work. Besides, have they learned their true knowledge..."

"In the end, it is a reward for work. After graduation, students must work in the factory designated by the school for several years before they can choose their own jobs. Of course, during this period, their salary will be returned to the school and they will be given some subsidies as appropriate. If they are not willing, they will have to return the expenses for the past few years to the school."

Meng Xiancheng said with some excitement: "Hongjian, I understand. Aren't you an apprentice? You should ask Gao Ming for this kind of thing."

This is the best thing for a master of neoclassical liberalism. Master Yuan is more accustomed to the capitalist style than Mr. Meng.

In a capitalist society, whoever is willing to do things without profits will be willing to do things without profits, on the contrary, as long as there is profit, everyone will rush to do it.

In order to achieve his goal, it is naturally not enough to open such a technical school.

Yuan Yanshu wanted to establish a teaching model, a teaching model that could make money without paying money, and a teaching model that national capitalists flocked to.

This way it can bloom everywhere, which is much more useful than raising funds everywhere.

Of course, there will definitely be people selling dog meat with sheep's head, nominally running charity and technical schools, but actually recruiting child laborers who don't have to pay for it. Is this kind of thing...

For the Seris, this is a cruel era. If even this little heart cannot be hard, then he should not open a technical school to open a charity hall.

"Bohong, Bohong..." This time, Master Yuan also used a tone of reproach and said earnestly: "As your old classmate and old friend, I have to say a few words to you. It seems that you have been in Citiland for too long, and you have forgotten the domestic environment for a long time..."

He stood up and looked down at the other party and said, "Brother, all you think of is compulsory education, university, literature, history and philosophy..."

"The college students taught in colleges now have a useful life?!" Yuan Yan, who was a little disappointed, tired and irritable, couldn't help but swear, and said a few words in her heart, "Is there any useful life in literature, history and philosophy for today's China?"

"Can the complete version of "Twenty-Four Histories" and "History" of Thucydides save the country?"

"Can "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Homer, Dante, Goethe, Shakespeare can save the country?"

"Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Horse... Well, can Dewey and Russell, who are visiting China now save the country?"

"None of these things is of use!"

He said with a bright look: "Only iron and blood can save our motherland! Do you understand? Iron and blood!"

Meng Xiancheng shivered under the fierce stare of his old classmate and nodded blankly.

Yuan Yan suddenly slowed down and said, "Bohong, you must understand. This blood will not only flow on the battlefield where the foreign enemy is fighting, but also on the construction site where the motherland is built."

He raised his tone slightly: "Someone has to suffer this hardship, suffer this sin, and do this job. And what we can do is to make these people better complete their tasks."

He said more excitedly: "Don't think that the students of this school are suffering. They will learn real skills from us, and they will make real contributions to our motherland. They will understand, and when they understand, they will be grateful to us."

Master Yuan's eyes flashed with light, suppressing his emotions and said, "At that time, not only them, but all Chinese people will be grateful to us. What is the point of enduring a temporary infamy and misunderstanding? As long as we have a clear conscience?"

"so……"

Yuan Yan suddenly pointed to the outsider and said, "Comrade Meng Xiancheng... Well, sir. Now I will give you a glorious task. I have someone to help you open a room. You can write down the preparation plan for this school overnight according to my three principles!"

"This...that..."

"Bohong, don't want this or that, I'll ask if you can do it?"

"Hongjian, I'll try it."

Master Yuan nodded with satisfaction and sent him out of the door. Before leaving, he stretched out his hand and said, "Bohong, come on!"

Meng Xiancheng, who always felt something was wrong, had to shake hands with him and said, "Hongjian, I can do it!"

"This...that..."

"Keck, don't want this or that, I'll ask if you can do it?"

"I'll try it."

"Cke, come on!"
