Chapter 244 Opening Ceremony
In the first year of the First Emperor, the first day of March will be a day that will be remembered by history. Even if the Qin Dynasty perishes in the future, it will not change the importance of this day in history.
Because this day is the day when Daqin begins to test the education method proposed and led by Li Nian. From this day on, Daqin will adopt an education method that has not been used before, including but not limited to new Textbooks, new courses, and new teaching and examination models.
On the first day of March, at noon, which was around eight o'clock in later generations, Li Nian arrived at the square outside Zhangtai Palace early because today was the first day of school, and the First Emperor would personally preside over the opening ceremony.
Knowing that this matter would be recorded in the annals of history and passed down to future generations, and Li Nian told him that the group of people who are going to school today are considered his disciples. If he can come and say a few words, they will definitely be there. It leaves a huge impact on the hearts of students and cannot be faked by others.
The First Emperor naturally agreed and turned today's opening of school into a ceremony. To show how much he valued this matter, he also decided to hold it in the square outside Zhangtai Palace. This place was where his emperor's ceremony was held, which was of great significance.
When Li Nian arrived, people had already arrived, forming teams one after another in the square. There were teams composed of the princes of Great Qin and some members of the clan, there were teams of ministers of Great Qin, and there were students who were going to school today. The team includes teams composed of students’ parents, as well as teaching staff...< br>
The First Emperor asked all the princes of the Qin Dynasty and members of the imperial family to attend, not only to show the importance he attached to this opening ceremony through the princes, but also to tell the students, "I have summoned all my sons to attend your opening ceremony. I am very optimistic about you, you must study hard and serve Daqin in the future."
At the same time, it also conveys a message to all the young masters, "I value education and talents, and you should also learn from me."
Most of the princes will be kings in the future, so they naturally need talents. The First Emperor wanted to give them a good start and set an example for them.
The reason why the ministers came here is the same, to let the students know how much he values them, and to encourage the students to study hard. There may not be a place for them in the future Great Qin Court.
Looking at the group of students who are going to enroll today, there are more than 700 students. Originally there were only more than 400, but because Li Nian proposed to set up a female department in the Medical Academy, the First Emperor ordered A group of smart girls were sent from various places.
This is also the benefit of this era. Although it is indeed worse than later dynasties in many aspects, relatively speaking, there are fewer constraints. For example, in some later dynasties, so many girls were recruited as students, and the feudal ethics The big hat will come off immediately.
However, only more than a hundred girls were sent from various places, and some of the extra girls were the children of the princes and nobles of Da Qin. When the princes and ministers of Da Qin knew that Li Nian was going to start teaching, they selected some from their families or clans. The juniors here sent it over.
After all, they are a privileged class. Although Li Nian could forcefully refuse to accept these people, it would not be beneficial to him to refuse them, so he accepted them.
Scholars from all over the six countries have opinions about these more than 700 students, not about the students themselves, but about the origins of these more than 700 students.
These students are all from Qin, and none of them are from the Six Kingdoms. But they are not easy to express opinions, or even understand this approach.
The emperor of Qin summoned these students to Xianyang, obviously to learn advanced knowledge and train them to be the pillars of the Great Qin. But now that the world has begun to settle, there must be some people who are dissatisfied with the Great Qin and summon young people from other places. If someone takes advantage of the loophole, wouldn't it bring disaster to the Qin Dynasty?
It is completely understandable that Emperor Qin only allows children from Qin people to enter school now, but if in the future, Emperor Qin does not call children from other places to enter school, that would be wrong. They will write a letter asking: Your Majesty is from Qin people. The emperor, or the emperor of all people? Since he is the emperor of the people of the world, why does he favor the people of Qin in everything and neglect people from other places?
Everyone in the team of students’ parents had expressions of joy and excitement on their faces. A few months ago, how could they have dared to think that their children would one day study in Xianyang and become His Majesty’s Emperor? Disciple?
These are the disciples of the emperor, and they are known as the ancestors of the emperor. As long as nothing unexpected happens, their children will definitely be able to make great achievements, and even be ranked in the Qin court and become important ministers of the country.
The teaching staff includes those selected by Li Nian to teach these students, candidates who have taken the Xianyang University Examination, Shaofu craftsmen, and alchemists, as well as those who assist Li Nian in compiling dictionaries, Many scholars who compile textbooks are all counted together to form this team.
The overall teaching task must be controlled by him, but some classes can be assigned to others, such as physical education classes, music classes, literacy, and superficial scientific knowledge.
Otherwise, how long will it take for him to teach more than 700 students by himself, and how can he take care of them all?
Looking at the team of teaching staff, Li Nian thought of something. There should have been more teaching staff. Unfortunately, due to the rebellion of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, some people became discouraged and chose to leave Xianyang, like Fan Zeng, who did not stay.
This Xiang Yu's "sub-father" will probably never appear again, nor will he be remembered as deeply in history as it should be, and it is not necessarily...
Xianyang Examination At that time, Fan Zeng and the Chu Mo giant were almost considered to have cheated. He had already recorded the incident in the first Xianyang exam. Maybe someone would dig it out in the future and laugh at it: Shocking, the Chu Mo giant from a thousand years ago was almost considered guilty of cheating. Caught cheating, will your grades be voided?
Why did the Chu-Mo giant cheat a thousand years ago? The reason behind it turned out to be him!
Li Nian was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard a voice called "Your Majesty has arrived!" He immediately gathered his thoughts and followed the sound, only to see Ying Zheng walking towards the high platform of the square under the escort of his guards.
After Ying Zheng walked up to the high platform, he stood in the position that belonged to him. All the people from all the teams below the stage saluted together: "Meet your Majesty!"
Not caring whether he had an official status or not, Ying Zheng said: " Your Majesty, please be polite!"
After everyone stood up, Ying Zheng said again: "I once heard something from Li Nian, to the effect that 'I have never heard of a country that was poor in education and finally failed in education. If the country is subjugated, education will not only fail to make the country Poverty, on the contrary, education is the best way to get rid of poverty'"
"I have thought about this and I think it makes sense. Especially in this era of great competition, if we cannot take the lead in education, The country will not be able to lead, but fall behind The ministers know for themselves what the congress will be like in other countries!”
After hearing Ying Zheng’s words, Li Si, one of the ministers, sighed in his heart, even though he had long known that the Qin Dynasty was going to take a different path from the legalist conception! Road, but still couldn't help but sigh.
Until now, he still hadn't fully understood why Ying Zheng gave up those Legalist policies and turned to Li Nian.
Anyone who is not stupid will know that Li Nian played an important role in all the changes that have taken place in Yingzheng these months, and today's opening ceremony must be included in this.
