Chapter 453 Reborn Parents
In ancient times, there was no such thing as advertising, let alone advertising fees.
But in Lin Xuan's view, Goudan has greatly increased the reputation of the college, so it should be given some advertising fees.
"I'll ask someone to give Goudan a reward as soon as I get back." Xu Geng nodded.
Anyway, the academy belonged to Lin Xuan, and Lin Xuan paid for it, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Nowadays many people want to send their children to study in colleges, should we accept them?" Xu Geng asked.
He is the dean of the academy, so he naturally wants to make the academy stronger.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I can't accept it now. The academy can't accommodate it."
"Why can't it be tolerated? It's no problem for the college to recruit a few hundred more students." Xu Geng said.
"The college can accommodate it, but what about the teachers? There are not enough teachers, so recruiting them in is not a mistake for the students?" Lin Xuan shook his head and said.
When the college was first built, Lin Xuan was built on the scale of a thousand people.
There are only a few hundred students in the college now, so it is really no problem to recruit a few hundred more.
But the college not only needs students, but also supporting facilities and teachers can keep up with it.
"This problem is easy to solve. We can recruit more teachers. In addition, the current students are already literate, and they can usually learn by themselves. It is enough to teach them occasionally." Xu Geng said.
Education in ancient times was not standardized, and most of the poor students started to study by themselves after going to private schools for a few years.
Because they simply can't afford the annual Shu Xiu, which is why it is difficult for the children of poor families to get ahead.
That's how Xu Geng came here, and he felt that there was no problem in doing so.
But Lin Xuan didn't want to do this. His purpose of building the academy was not to make money.
Instead, they want to break the aristocratic family's monopoly on knowledge and cultivate some talents.
Being taught and not being taught are two different things, although letting former students learn by themselves does not mean that no one is teaching them.
But it will definitely affect their learning progress.
"When I say no, I don't mean not to accept it all the time, but not to accept it temporarily." Lin Xuan said.
"Master Hou is planning to find some more teachers before accepting them?" Xu Geng asked.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I think there is a big problem with the current teaching method, and I plan to conduct graded education."
"Graduated education?" Xu Geng looked at Lin Xuan with some doubts.
Lin Xuan asked: "Some people can read, some can't, some have already learned the Analects, and some haven't. Do you think it's appropriate to teach them together?"
In fact, most of the ancient schools were private schools.
Many people who have lost confidence in the imperial examination will set up a private school to recruit students.
Most of the private schools are taught by one person.
Some people come and some go, and the level of knowledge is different, and they are all taught together.
When teaching people to read, those who can read can only learn by themselves, but when teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, those who have just learned to read do not understand.
Learning in this way is not only inefficient, but also a waste of time.
In history, there are countless people who have passed the imperial examinations, among which the Song and Ming dynasties are the most representative, and almost 50% of Jinshi were born as civilians.
It seems very fair, but [-]% of the world's population is civilians.
Of the remaining [-]%, less than [-]% were excluded after excluding those who could not take the imperial examination.
Of course, this does not mean that the imperial examinations are unfair. It can only be said that the educational resources received by the common people are too different from those received by the children of officials and eunuchs.
There is no absolute fairness in the world, Lin Xuan can only try his best to let the children of the academy get more resources.
"Then what does Lord Hou mean?"
Lin Xuan said: "I plan to divide it into six years from easy to difficult. Students learn some knowledge every year, and then take the exam. Those who pass the exam can be upgraded to learn more difficult knowledge."
He did not divide elementary school, middle school, high school, and university.
In ancient times, there was not so much knowledge for you to learn. Generally, after learning literacy and some simple enlightenment books, you started to study the Four Books and Five Classics.
Xu Geng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Wonderful, from shallow to deep, divided into different levels, so that there will be no problem of too much knowledge difference between students."
"That's what I planned. Our current students only study for half a year. I plan to start recruiting students next year when the field vacation is about to end, so that we can distinguish them from the current students." Lin Xuan said.
In ancient times, there were no summer vacations and winter vacations, but they also had vacation regulations, and the time was different from later generations, for example, ten-day vacations with one day off every ten days, field vacations when they needed to go home to help because of busy farming, and cold weather. And you need to go home and bring clothes over for clothing leave.
"Master Hou thought about it in great detail. I'll go back and tell the common people to come here when the college enrolls students." Xu Geng said.
"Wait, after you go back, discuss with others what students in each grade should learn, and make a detailed plan." Lin Xuan called Xu Geng to stop.
Although he was literate, he hadn't really studied the Four Books and Five Classics.
He didn't know how to divide it, so he simply handed it over to Xu Geng.
Xu Geng's plan may not be perfect, but it is better than him.
Lin Xuan was not in a hurry, just groped slowly.
Xu Geng bid farewell to Lin Xuan and left the Lin family in a hurry.
He is full of energy now.
……
"Is Zhou Zhi at home?"
Goudan heard someone barking and hurried out of the house.
"I met Mr. Liu!" Goudan bowed and saluted.
Mr. Liu is his teacher.
"The dean asked me to send you five pennies, saying that it is a reward for your great reputation of the academy." Mr. Liu laughed.
He is very satisfied with Goudan. He usually doesn't talk about seriousness in his studies, but now because of the settlement, the reputation of the academy has greatly increased, and he also has face on his face.
The other teachers in the college, don't mention how envious he is.
"Reward?" Goudan looked at Mr. Liu in confusion.
Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Don't think too much, this is a reward from the academy, just keep it."
The entourage who followed Mr. Liu put a bag of copper coins in front of Goudan.
"Sir, go into the room and talk!" Goudan beckoned Mr. Liu to go in.
Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't go in today, come back next time."
"Sir, go slowly." Goudan bowed his hands.
Wuguan money weighs tens of catties, and Goudan is a little difficult to carry.
Seeing that her son had gone out for a while, but Shen Yue'e hadn't come back, she walked out.
Seeing Goudan carrying a bag, he quickly asked, "Goudan, what is this?"
"Mother, this is the five pennies that Mr. Liu sent, and he said it was a reward for me." Goudan said.
Although Shen Yue'e was very puzzled, Wuguan money was a huge sum of money for ordinary people, so she quickly took the bag from Goudan and entered the house.
As soon as she entered the room, Shen Yue'e quickly closed the door, and then used the door latch to lock the door.
"What are you doing with the door closed in broad daylight?" Zhou Aniu sat in front of the stove warming up the fire, seeing Shen Yue'e nervous, asked curiously.
Shen Yue'e put down the bag and said: "The gentleman who taught Goudan just sent five pennies, saying it is a reward for Goudan."
Only then did Zhou Aniu know why Shen Yue'e was so nervous.
Goudan had already received two pennies before, and yesterday he settled the accounts and was paid another penny. This money is already enough. If others know that their family has received another five pennies, it will be troublesome if someone has malicious intentions.
"God, did Mr. Liu say why he rewarded you?" Zhou Aniu asked.
Goudan repeated what Mr. Liu had said.
"Master Hou is really the reborn parent of our family." Zhou Aniu said.
