Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 118 Elite Education Program
Looking at Chen Fan with an unbelievable expression on his face, he faltered and said:

"Xian...brother...this floating in the air...could it be the legendary...Tiangong?"

float?

Heavenly Palace?

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Chongzhen meant.

When he glanced at the computer screen, Chen Fan was startled.

As he switched pictures, a photo full of sci-fi colors appeared on the computer screen at some point.

I saw a continent floating in the sky in the picture, and the continent was full of towering super skyscrapers.

Seeing this photo, Chen Fan cursed inwardly.

This Lin Wan'er is too unreliable!

I asked you to find some pictures full of modern technology, and didn't ask you to take screenshots from science fiction movies!
"Brother, is this the heavenly palace in the fairy world?"

Chongzhen asked excitedly.

He had only heard of myths and legends before, and had never seen the appearance of Tiangong before.

Today, he has learned a lot.

original.

This is what Tiangong looks like!

Chen Fan was overwhelmed by the question and didn't know how to answer it.

But seeing Chongzhen's excited look, Chen Fan finally nodded secretly.

An expression that cannot be revealed.

"My dear brother, is this also the result of vigorously developing science education?"

Chen Fan thought about it seriously, and then nodded heavily.

That's right!

If technology is advanced, scenes from science fiction films can indeed appear.

Hearing the confession from Xiandi, Chongzhen hesitated in his heart.

Honestly.

He really wanted to establish schools in the counties and states of Daming immediately.

Promote the science education system.

But the problem is that when Chongzhen thought of the opposition from Confucian scholars all over the country, he felt a little headache.

After all, the officialdom of Ming Dynasty is composed of Confucian scholars who defend the imperial examination system.

If they all oppose it, it will be impossible to carry out science education.

Chen Fan could see Chongzhen's worry at a glance.

"Brother is afraid of opposition from officials across the country?"

Seeing Chongzhen nodding in embarrassment, Chen Fan smiled lightly.

"Brother, don't worry, the development of science education is a thousand-year plan, don't rush for a while."

Hearing this, Chongzhen glanced at Chen Fan in surprise.

Didn't you let me build schools all over the country?
Why is there no need to rush now?

Chongzhen was almost confused by Chen Fan.

in fact.

The plan Chen Fan suggested just now is not the final plan.

Regarding the establishment of schools at all levels across the country, the idea is good.

But judging from Daming's current situation, it is not mature.

The opposition of Ming officials is of course one aspect.

But more importantly, there is no faculty.

To build so many schools, let’s not talk about the source of students. The key point is that there are no teachers who can teach scientific knowledge in the whole Ming Dynasty!
Moreover, it takes too long.

From elementary school to university, 16 years, it is helpless to think about it.

and so.

Chen Fan prepared a second plan.

He calls it the Elite Program.

"Brother, if schools are established across the country to promote science education, these officials will definitely be stimulated, and they will inevitably be obstructed."

Chongzhen nodded vigorously, this is what he was worried about.

Chen Fan went on to say:

"We can slowly promote science education and boil frogs in warm water, so the resistance will be much smaller."

"Boiled frogs in warm water?"

Chongzhen shook his head, still looking puzzled.

Chen Fan explained:
"Yes, boil frogs in warm water. We don't need to build schools all over the country. The conditions are not yet ripe."

"We can directly establish a university in the capital, and then recruit smart children from all over the country and let them study in the university."

"In this way, not only will the resistance of Confucian students be much smaller, but there will be only one school, and there will not be many students, so it will be easy to solve the problem of teachers."

Chongzhen's eyes lit up and his face showed joy.

If only a school is established, the resistance from Confucian scholars will indeed be much smaller.

This plan is feasible.

Seeing Chongzhen's excited expression, Chen Fan knew that the establishment of a university was almost inseparable.

This elite plan was also thought of by Chen Fan referring to the youth classes of some universities in Huaguo.

Children with smart IQs were selected from all over the Ming Dynasty, and after passing the assessment test, they were sent directly to universities in the capital of the Ming Dynasty to study.

Of course, there are no teachers at present, and they can only rely on them to teach themselves.

Chen Fan believes that with their clever brains, self-study is easy.

Besides, for people with strong learning talents, teachers only play a guiding role, and ultimately learn knowledge by themselves.

However, it is not always true to say that it is self-study.

In addition to preparing textbooks for each stage, Chen Fan also prepared many video courseware from famous teachers for them.

Presumably so.

It should be easy for them to learn scientific knowledge!

When Chen Fan was in school, there were often such smart students in his class.

He slept on his stomach in class, didn't read books after class, and didn't watch him study when he returned to the dormitory.

But when it comes to the exam, he can always be among the top few in the grade.

I can see that he is envious.

Therefore, if the smart children of Ming Dynasty are gathered to study in universities, they will be able to learn scientific knowledge very soon.

Then these talents will become the seeds of Ming education.

Promote the rapid development of Daming education.

Chen Fan is looking forward to what it will be like to train these smart children to become elites in all walks of life in Ming Dynasty.

"However, if we want to attract smart kids from all over the country to enter universities to receive science education, I'm afraid we still need to issue some policies!"

"policy?"

"Yes, for example, after graduating from university, they are directly granted the status of Jinshi, and they can enter the court as officials just like imperial examination Jinshi."

Chongzhen thought about it carefully, and felt that what Brother Xian said made sense.

If they are not given Jinshi status, then why should these smart children take the path of science education?

Wouldn't it be nice to directly study the sage's classics and take the imperial examination to become an official?
Moreover, re-open a scientific path to enter the court and become an official.

It also provides a way out for those imperial examination students who fail again and again.

"That's not a big problem."

"Big companion has been away for so long? I don't know when I'll be back?"

When Wang Chengen came back, Chongzhen was going to let him go to the Ministry of Xuanli to be a minister!
The Ministry of Rites has always been in charge of Daming's education.

and so.

If Chongzhen wanted to establish a university in the capital and recruit smart students from all over the country, he still needed to communicate with the Minister of Rites.

After all, recruiting students across the country is not an easy task.

It must have the cooperation of the Ministry of Rites.

at this time.

The voice of a drake came in from outside the royal study.

"My lord, Pei Yuanqing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, brought it here!"

This is Wang Chengen's return.

"Hurry up!"

Following an order from Chongzhen, Wang Chengen hurried in with Pei Yuanqing, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Before Wang Chengen bent down to salute, Chongzhen sent him away and asked him to go to the Minister of Xuanli.

When Wang Chengen went out, he looked puzzled.

Why do you want to find the Minister of Rites as soon as you find the Minister of the Ministry of Industry?
