Qiao Xin did not answer for a moment. Education has always been a long-term plan. Building a school by herself is different from reopening a college by imperial order. If she opened a private school by herself, she could ask three or five teachers to provide some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. With a little more money, she could always become a hands-off boss because she could not read.
At least she is free and unconstrained, and can end it whenever she wants.
But to establish an academy under imperial order is a huge responsibility.
She has no choice but to say nothing, and the right to speak is not in her hands. She is tied up and this is not what she wants to see.
"Your Majesty, may I ask you a question? There are so many great scholars in the court, including the civil and military officials, why is this person me?"
"You have trained a dandy student like Xu Can. I know you have your own way and means of educating students. I don't need students who are too conventional and stick to the rules."
"If this is the reason, then I'm afraid it won't work. I educate my own children in a way that teaches everyone. But the children educated by Your Majesty are beautiful in every way I look at them, but the parents of other students in this academy may not accept their children becoming like this.
Besides, Erlang is right. I am illiterate myself, so how can I convince the students?
The original intention of the Qiao family to run the school was to make everyone more literate and learn more skills to make a living. Living well in this world is far from meeting the standards of being an official. "
"You can train students in martial arts and then manage the entire Qingyang College. As for the literature, I don't count on you. Mr. Fan is my teacher, so it is more than enough for him to be the dean of the College of Literature.
Given the relationship between your Qiao family and the Fan family, the teacher will not deny you this honor."
Qiao Xin listened to the Emperor Wu's arrangement and finally understood that she was just a tool! His Majesty's ultimate goal was to re-employ Fan Huairen.
I guess he has thought this idea over carefully!
But it is not easy to manage a school, not to mention that she has no experience at all. Those who can come to school in the future are all little ancestors in the family, and they cannot be beaten or scolded. Who cares if you only educate those naughty children verbally?
It seems that Emperor Wu is determined to do so and cannot allow me to refuse!
Since he couldn't refuse, Qiao Xin made the next best choice and asked for three rules within the scope acceptable to Emperor Wu, striving to gain the greatest say.
Later, she would learn from the school rules and regulations of modern schools, the parent responsibility letter, the school operation plan responsibility letter, etc., and compile a copy of them all and submit them to the emperor. If the other party does not take over, then it is not her fault for not taking the job.
If people sell soy sauce, they have to put their fingerprints on black and white paper to guarantee that they are not buying any bad soy sauce.
If a large college has unclear responsibilities and ownership from the beginning, and anyone can interfere or make a fuss when something happens, who can bear it?
Especially behind the naughty kids there must be a large group of parents who protect them. Those who can afford to go to school are either rich or noble. Qiao Xin will argue with them in the future. This matter must be made clear in advance, and it is best to let Emperor Wu send someone to take care of it.
If she were to manage Qingyang Academy in the same way she educated her grandchildren, it would probably be impossible to recruit anyone except the children of military generals.
She didn't even notice what her children did on weekdays. They got up before dawn to play with fists and kicks, and ran around the village for ten or eight laps. From time to time, she took them to the woods to walk over the mountains and hills. They identified the edible grass roots, tree barks, and wild fruits in the forest, and caught some wild game for a snack. In the evening, they also had to recite books, learn to read, and count copper coins.
No, I have to find time to practice my archery and shoot some bullets!
The amount of activity he did every day was so huge, how could it be compared to those rich and powerful young men in the capital? Even Xu Can's activity at his house had been reduced by half in the past half month.
Since ancient times, heroes have suffered many hardships, and playboys have rarely become great men. This is just her idea. She doesn't think some parents today will resonate with her.
The current education system cannot skip the scope of the Four Books and Five Classics, but Qiao Xin is different. She pays great attention to cultivating the Qiao family's children in the study of things, arithmetic, law and martial arts. She has raised these unorthodox methods in the eyes of others to the same status as Chinese studies.
Take Dalang from the Qiao family. Although he looks skinny and weak, he has inherited his elder brother's brute strength. At the tender age of less than ten years old, he can already pull a bow of two kilograms. You should know that one kilogram is equal to more than ten kilograms; a bow of two kilograms is not light for a child.
The carpentry skills are quite good. He can make a simple bow and arrow, or a sailboat model in a day. When he has nothing to do, he likes to study wood with his brother Niu Dabao. A few days ago, he even made an arm bow that can function as a crossbow.
Qiao Xin was so frightened that she repeatedly warned him to hide his abilities when he was outside and never show off his skills in front of others until he had the ability.
As for Qiao Erlang, he was fast and accurate in mental arithmetic and could tell the exact number of the family accounts with just a glance.
Now she has become her mother's right-hand man in managing the household affairs! The servants of the Qiao family might try to fool her daughter-in-law, but they would never dare to fool her second grandson.
Needless to say, Qiao Sanlang looks like his father Qiao Yunqing, with a handsome appearance at a young age. He is a little black sesame bun, usually quiet, but likes to study strategy books.
As for Silang and Golang, they are still young. Apart from their love of eating, there is nothing special about them that makes them special.
No matter which child, in addition to practicing martial arts, Qiao Xin respects every child's personality and growth rules.
Although Emperor Wu had long since raised the status of military commanders, the Jing Dynasty still retained many customs of the previous dynasty that valued civil officials over military officials. Although they were both marquises, the Dingbian Marquis, who guarded the border, was not as popular in the officialdom as the Changping Marquis, who was a civil official.
That's why Heng Wen's stepmother could rely on her mother's status as Marquis of Changping to stir up trouble in the backyard of Marquis Dingbian. She also didn't want her own son Heng An to follow the path of a military commander!
As for whether there will be wars in the future among the numerous countries, these aristocratic families will not consider it. Anyway, the world will eventually be divided after a long period of unity, and will eventually be united after a long period of division. As long as their own family remains standing, it doesn't matter whether the emperor's surname is Zhang or Wu. It's just a change of people at the top.
Emperor Wu probably saw through the intentions of the aristocratic families, so he made other plans to avoid following the path of the last emperor.
