Chapter 1288 The reason for teaching two techniques and Western learning (6,000-word chapter)(2/2)

"Guanjia, do you want to set up a Western studies class in Wucheng School?" Chen Ji said very surprised. On the other side, Princess Ningguo also looked at Yunxi in surprise.
"Not bad." Yunxi said very calmly.
"Officials, there is so much knowledge worth learning in Ming Dynasty, why do we want students to learn things from Western countries? What use is this to the students?"
"The so-called "three people walking together must have a teacher, choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones." This sentence comes from Han Changli's "Teacher's Theory", and I must have heard it. This saying is not only applicable to people.
between countries, and the same applies between countries.”
Speaking of this, Yunxi suddenly remembered what he said to himself after capturing Timur. He paused and continued: "Although the Western countries lag behind our Ming Dynasty, they can establish a country, and they have established a country for thousands of years. There must be
Director. I have talked with Klavyo and the generals of the Tamerlane Khanate who were captured in the Battle of Yiwu, and I think it does have merit. Therefore, I set up a Western Studies class in the Five Cities School."
"I also value the students of Wucheng Academy very much and will not delay them." Yunxi emphasized at the end.
Yunxi's reasons are indeed reasonable, but Chen Ji is still unwilling to accept it. As he said at the beginning, learning from Western countries before they even learned much about the Ming Dynasty is putting the cart before the horse in his opinion. "Your Majesty,
I think that even if we want to learn knowledge about Western countries, we should not offer Western studies courses in the second grade. I think it is more appropriate to offer this course in the fifth or sixth grade,” he argued.
"What Aiqing said is right," Yunxi first affirmed Chen Ji's words, and then said: "I think that the students of the Five Cities Academy and the clans that will be moved to the west of the Royal Academy need to learn knowledge about Western countries.
,Ai Qing, do you think so?"
"Your Majesty is right."
"Then since Ai Qing thinks that the students of Wucheng Academy are too young to learn the knowledge of Western countries now, how about I open a Western studies course in the Royal Academy?"
"Officials, I think this is not appropriate." Chen Ji hesitated and said: "When this course was first established, both the professor and the students had no idea what to teach and what to learn in this course.
It is clear that offering this course in the first year will be very confusing and waste students' time."
"Although I have never taught the courses of the Royal Academy, I have heard about the curriculum. The children of the royal family in the Royal Academy already have extremely heavy academic workload. I feel it is inappropriate if I waste my time on this confusing course again."
"But a newly established course that has never been established before must have the problems mentioned by Ai Qing. If it is not set up in the Royal Academy, it is not set up in the Five City School, where else can it be set up? The Imperial Academy or the Martial Arts Hall? Does Ai Qing think it is possible?"
He is also very straightforward in his speech.
"This," it is absolutely impossible for the Imperial College and the Jiangwu Hall to set up this course. The memorials of officials' remonstrances can fill Yunxi's desk; even if Yunxi insists on setting up these two courses, but in the first year
The chaos will also provide new ammunition to the opposing officials, who will make more frantic remonstrances, and Yun He may not be able to sustain it.
When choosing one of the two schools to sacrifice, the Royal Academy and the Wucheng Academy, it can only be the Wucheng Academy. The students of the Royal Academy are more precious. Therefore, "I obey the imperial decree of the official family and prepare to establish the Western Studies Class."
Chen Ji finally agreed.
"Thank you, Chen Qing. But there is no need to rush this matter. It will not be established this school year. It will not be established until the school starts in early February next year. Chen Qing, if things are complicated and there is no time to rest during this period, please postpone this matter for a few days."
It's all right." Yunxi said again.
"Yes, the official family." Chen Ji felt warm in his heart and said.
"Second aunt, in addition to taking care of the girls' school, you should also pay more attention to the affairs of the Wucheng School. Don't put all the burden on Chen Qing." Yunxi said to Princess Ningguo on the side.
When Princess Ning Guo was about to speak, Chen Ji said first: "This has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness Princess Ning Guo. I thought that Her Highness had to manage the girls' school and also served as the vice-principal of the Five City School, so she was much busier than me.
Moreover, as a woman, Your Highness is not as convenient as a man to go out, so he has to take care of more things in the Five Cities School."
"I understand your good intentions. But as you are so busy, things may not be handled well. Moreover, although Princess Ningguo holds two positions, there are few things to do in the girls' school. It has been established for three or four years and the rules are already very complete. There is no need to
As troublesome as you are, you can just leave some things to her," Yunxi said.
"Yes, official." Chen Ji agreed again.
After that, Yunxi realized that he had nothing to tell them two, and when he was about to ask them to retreat, Chen Ji said: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask your Majesty for instructions."
"What's the matter?"
"Guan Jia, since the first inter-class Cuju and football games were held in April, the remaining two games have not yet been held. I wonder if your Majesty plans to hold them?" Chen Ji asked.
When Yunxi originally conceived the idea of establishing the Wucheng Academy, he planned to set up two classes. However, after moving all those who would inherit the title of prince and below from the Royal Academy to the Wucheng Academy, he found that the total number of students had reached fifty, so
It was decided to set up three classes, two classes with 17 people, and one class with 16 people. Because the rules set by Yunxi were that eleven people would play in each game, and up to six people could be replaced, so everyone in one class was mobilized.
.
The three classes will compete with each other to calculate the total score at the end of the year. Since this competition has just been established and the rules are incomplete, Yunxi decided to personally serve as the referee for the three games in the first year, so Chen Ji
Ask him for instructions.
