Chapter 160 Domestic Future Development Plan
After bidding farewell to Shimei, Li Qiwei got on Song Daquan’s rickshaw and prepared to go home.
Yu Shimei will go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit in the near future, bringing his own reform outline. It is estimated that the results will not be known for more than a month.
No way, the current transportation system of the Qing Dynasty is still too backward.
Yu Shimei could only take a boat to Tianjin first, and then take the land route to the capital.
Li Qiwei will not waste this month. He will carefully sort out his next domestic plans.
In summary, there are three major events.
The first thing is to promote the educational reform of the Qing Dynasty.
Li Qiwei is very self-aware. His city of science plan, and even the more secret military plan, are inseparable from huge scientific and engineering talents.
If he relied on himself, even if he could build ten universities, the students he would train would be a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, the industrial system requires not only college students and engineers, but also countless skilled workers, technicians, etc.
This is a large and complex system project.
So he needs help.
The Western world is definitely unreliable. Only China can provide him with a steady stream of fresh blood.
Li Qiwei relied on the power of a country to realize his plan.
In this process, China itself has also developed tremendously, and all technologies have been accumulated internally and digested into real power.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
The Manchus and Qing Dynasties would never have guessed that the more universities they established, the faster the Qing Dynasty would fall.
In real history, the Qing Dynasty fell into this dilemma.
If you don’t reform, you will die slowly; if you reform, you will die faster.
Perhaps it was because Cixi understood this that she was so extravagant, completely ignoring the future of the country, and just wanted to have a good time before she died.
The second thing is to establish a private university in your own name.
After having a huge educational foundation, a leader is needed.
It represents the most advanced education level and produces the most advanced science and technology.
The future world will be extremely chaotic, which is even more important for the development of universities.
Because it is only during the war years that science and technology will advance by leaps and bounds. There is no doubt about this.
Even with his own suggestions, Li Qiwei did not believe that any great university could be built with the Qing Dynasty's urine.
So, he wants to be the leader!
The university he founded must be the best university in the Qing Dynasty, and even become a world-renowned university like Cambridge.
Therefore, Li Qiwei had to quickly come up with ideas and plans for the university he wanted to build.
This is not easy.
The most important thing is to determine the positioning and management system of the university.
What Li Qiwei wanted to refer to was the Western system, but it was not exactly the same.
At this time in Europe and the United States, as in the future, there are many and detailed names and divisions for universities.
The main ones are: University, Institute, School, College, Academy, etc.
For example, the English name of Harvard University is [HarvardUniversity].
University mainly refers to a comprehensive university, which is generally composed of many colleges and covers many different types of majors.
The English name of MIT is [Massachusetts Institute of Technology].
Institute refers to a college with specialized disciplines. For example, MIT has schools of engineering, schools of science, etc.
The difference between it and University is mainly reflected in its scale.
For example, MIT has neither a law school nor a medical school; comprehensive universities will have these large schools.
[School] refers to the college or department to which the university belongs. For example, the School of Engineering at MIT is called [School of Engineering] in English.
The English name of Harvard Law School is [HarvardLawSchool].
Of course, School also means middle school.
The concept of [College] is relatively general. It can refer to various universities, or it can also refer to colleges within universities, or sub-colleges.
For example, Trinity College of Cambridge University is called [Trinity College] in English, and other colleges are also called so-and-so College.
Another example is Imperial College London in the UK, which is [Imperial College London] in English.
So there are differences between Institute and College, which are both colleges. The main reason is the misunderstanding caused by translation.
The last [Academy] refers to a college or a school that studies specialized technology.
For example, the Academy of Art University in San Francisco is called [Academy of Art University] in English.
There are also various film schools, business schools, etc., all listed here.
The university system of later generations of China was basically based on that of Europe and the United States.
The classification and department system of universities are not completely unified and are very confusing.
There are various names, all of which contain historical factors and are not easy to modify.
For example, it is also a three-level management system. Some universities are: university-college-major; while some universities are: university-department-major.
There are even universities with a four-level management system: university-college-department-major.
The main reason is that the scale of the university is developing and its functions are constantly improving. Due to untimely adjustments, chaos is caused.
Generally speaking, colleges are half a level higher than departments and undertake more systematic tasks.
In addition to the talent training and organizational teaching undertaken by the department, the college also includes unique functions such as social services and achievement transformation.
Li Qiwei is an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient, and he is ready to solve the problem at its source.
What he wants to create is a polytechnic university, and the target is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.
The three-level management system is university-college-major.
And he also wants to promote this practice across the country.
As for various specialty universities and technical schools, it is a different approach.
In this regard, he is similar to Nagaoka Hantaro from Sakura Country.
Physics is the first of the natural sciences. In the future, Li Qiwei will take charge of the scientific system as the first physicist in China.
At the same time, as a boss, he trains the younger generations and points out the direction for future scientific development.
Although it is impossible for him to understand all categories, he only needs to know which ones are the most important.
Steel, chemicals, electronics, electricity, etc., any one of them covers countless subdivided technologies and engineering experience.
As long as there are more and more universities, talents will naturally mushroom, and there will always be smart people who can make breakthroughs in other fields.
Through his foreign investment groups, he continuously infused domestic funds and drove the growth of a number of typical industrial enterprises.
Then use Huaxia’s huge human resources to copy more segmented enterprises.
Even if it is a screw, we must be the best in the world.
Li Qiwei's role is to serve as an introduction. He knows that with his temporary financial strength, it is impossible to directly upgrade China's industry.
Like education, this is a long-term project that requires decades of slow development before it can explode with huge energy.
At this time, a servant came to report that a man named Zhou Ziyu was visiting.
Currently, the other party is arranged in the reception room. Even though he knows that Li Qiwei is not here, he is still willing to drink tea and wait.
Li Qiwei became interested. There was no information about Zhou Ziyu in his mind. Could it be that he was an unknown person?
However, with this perseverance and courage, my future achievements may not be low.
He decided to meet this person and wanted to know what he wanted from him.
