Chapter 381: Duties of the Empress
Chapter 381 Duties of the Empress
Now that you have become the empress of a country and have enjoyed the superiority and respect brought by the empress, you should fulfill your responsibilities as an empress.
Bai Wutong carried out a drastic reform of the official system of the court, and established an official newspaper, arranged to popularize daily civilization and improve laws, so that the people could keep abreast of political trends.
A social progress is inseparable from the development of civilization, the advancement of science and technology, the strength of the military, the stability of education, and the guarantee of medical employment.
Xiaoyao City now has nearly 200,000 people, and the illiteracy rate is as high as 80%.
If there is no text as a carrier, it will be very difficult to learn any skills.
Qinghe College and Qinghe Women's College, many enlightened children often feel tired of learning because writing big characters is boring and too difficult to remember.
The family thinks that it is not suitable for reading, so they simply do not let them go to school, and directly help the family open up wasteland and work to earn money.
Children who drop out of school like this happen almost every day.
Bai Wutong suddenly came up with the idea of implementing simplified characters and pinyin.
After thinking about it, she called Yang Quanzi, Cui Lingyi and other academy teachers to inquire about the students' academic status.
In the past, admission to Qinghe College was extremely strict. Students with poor study and poor character would not be able to enter the school.
Now we accept children of all stages, and there are children of all kinds, and their academic levels are naturally uneven.
Bai Wutong understood the basic situation and asked in detail, "Is it difficult for students to read and read?"
A gentleman shook his head and laughed and said, "Students are not difficult to read and literate, but those who have difficulty drop out of school."
Mr. 's duty is to teach and preach, and if the students want to give up, they will not force it.
A child who is not demanding, and who is not resilient and playful, will naturally not put learning at heart.
Children are determined not to be read materials, and parents will ask them to contribute to the family early.
How could the illiteracy rate increase.
If students were forced to go to school, the energy of gentlemen would not be enough.
Every day I have to persuade me to read, and I have to visit my parents to formulate the content of the lectures. There are not many teachers who can teach themselves, so let’s not mention these.
Students are the future of the country, if the youth is strong, the country will be strong, if the youth is strong, the country will be strong, if the youth is wise, the country will be wise, and if the youth are rich, the country will be prosperous.
Compulsory basic education is fundamental!
Bai Wutong thought about it and decided to lower the threshold of being a teacher. Just like in modern times, set up primary schools, middle schools, and universities. If you want to become a teacher, you only need to pass the teaching examination, short-term training and internship.
The primary school is then set as compulsory education, the secondary school is divided into vocational schools and general schools, and some vocational schools and general schools in universities can be admitted as long as the results meet the standard.
In this way, students with better grades who are still in school at Qinghe Academy can take the examination for a teacher's post, forming an educational cycle.
As for adults, choose to set up a special adult study class to avoid letting children catch the bad atmosphere of adults.
Mr. You proposed: "What if the child insists on not going to school?"
Bai Wutong said with a smile: "Everyone has gone to school, they will naturally want to be with their friends."
"Individual examples require the teacher's attention and guidance."
Most of the children over the age of ten are very obedient, even if they are not obedient, they will be fine. When they grow up, they will understand that it is really good to have the opportunity to read and read for free.
Bai Wutong's proposal was unanimously affirmed, and the discussion at the textbook stage began.
Since it is necessary to carefully stratify the students according to age, and to compile and publish the content of the book, a huge workload has been accumulated.
Bai Wutong asked Cui Lingyi to bring the children's enlightenment books, read them carefully, and put forward today's main idea, "The words left by our ancestors have been transformed from generation to generation, forming the words we learn today."
"But I think there is still room for these words to be simplified."
"If the process of recognizing and writing characters is simplified, learning can also save time. After all, words are only a carrier of knowledge."
After all, words are just a carrier of knowledge!
Everyone's eyes lit up. I don't know why Bai Wutong has this ability. It is easy to explain the core to convince them.
But some gentlemen feel that the current text is already concise enough, and think that it will cause confusion in everyone's thinking.
Bai Wutong did not refute the question from the old gentleman, but opened a page of the classics and wrote a large character.
After writing , Bai Wutong placed the words on the book with the words Bai Wutong had just written for comparison.
In an instant, everyone sighed in surprise.
The characters written by Bai Wutong look very simple, which is very different from the original version in the scriptures, but if you look at it alone, everyone still recognizes each character at a glance.
Bai Wutong taught everyone the rules of changing characters by himself. After learning this set of rules, they could change characters on the spot. After everyone realized it, they were surprised that they could simplify characters like this! !
Yang Quanzi said with admiration, "Your Majesty is smarter than anyone else!"
Someone once again put forward: "Simplifying the characters can indeed improve the efficiency of children's literacy, but the characters inherited from the ancestors will disappear forever?"
Bai Wutong said with a smile: "How can the inheritance of the ancestors disappear? It is recorded in books, stone tablets, in history, and in everyone's hearts. It will become a milestone on the way of knowledge."
"We can set up special disciplines, so that a steady stream of students can focus on protecting the treasures left by our ancestors."
Bai Wutong said this, and the old gentlemen felt ironed. As long as inheritance and development can be merged, they have nothing to say.
Everyone accepted the simplified text, and Bai Wutong guided everyone to mark the text in pinyin.
There is no pinyin in this world, but there is a phonetic method very early.
But the phonetic method is too complicated and far less convenient than pinyin.
Bai Wutong proposed Pinyin, everyone was taken aback and asked, "What is Pinyin?"
Bai Wutong marked the pinyin on the words "I" and "Oh". After explaining it, everyone finally understood it. It turns out that two different sounds are spelled together to get another sound.
is quite convenient!
is much more convenient than the phonetic method.
Everyone quickly accepted Bai Wutong's idea, and discussed in private how many pinyin to summarize.
After the meeting, Bai Wutong and Cui Lingyi were going to go shopping in the market. They changed into a set of short-sleeved long dresses and held a paddle fan.
A Duo was very excited to see it, "Did you see that, His Majesty wears the clothes of our tribe!"
His Majesty is really good-looking. Even if she is pregnant, she can't stop her outstanding appearance. Looking at Cui Lingyi, who is calm and calm, her perfect figure is even more amazing.
The girls who were afraid of revealing their skin were instantly moved.
Since the queen can wear it, why can't they wear it!
Such a simple and elegant style, they will go home and make them now.
