Chapter 29 Shenghua Academy (1)
.Barrien of Yongding River, a Xinhua-style building complex stands among the green trees and distant mountains, which is particularly eye-catching. The ranking of urban supernatural novels is overturned by the ranking of historical novels.
Wearing a neat black uniform and a standard hat, the 14- or 15-year-old boy walked out of the school gate neatly.
The wind rises from East Asia, and the country is built with iron blood;
Six thousand years of storm and war, and four thousand years of mourning the world;
The strong man and the healthy man are not cold yet, and the men in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are strong;
Revenge and shame should be washed away by snow;
Don’t worry about fame and fortune.
If it benefits the country's life and death, how can it avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune?
I fertilize the land with my blood, and I sway the country with my power;
The united people are great China, and the Han Dynasty is strong and the Han Dynasty is strong and the New East Asia is strong.
“This is a school song.”
The principal of Shenghua Academy and Earl Li Xinping smiled slightly; "It's okay to do more rowing competitions in the weather..."
"Well, the climate is fine over our side. You can row boats all year round." Ke Shan, the former staff member, and the royal industry agent, nodded. "There is good everywhere in Zhaoqing, but it's a little hotter in summer......... We had to wear school uniforms in the summer. When we were ignorant when we were young, we still had some complaints in our hearts."
Li Xinping looked at the emperor's confidant who was born in Shenghua Academy and another boarding elite middle school, the common predecessor of Nanyang Academy, "Hualin Middle School", which was also hosted by the royal industry, and could not help but sigh in secret that the years had changed.
This empire will be the world of these young people in the future.
His eyes fell on the vibrant young figures by the river again, and his face was filled with pride and satisfaction.
In the Chinese Empire, there has always been a saying that "North Shenghua and South Hualin" was used. With the strictest management, the best faculty and the strongest alumni resources, these two boarding academies gradually developed from cultivating talents for the royal family from the beginning to the aristocratic class facing this new empire, providing the most trusted closed elite education.
In Zheng Ying's view, the progress of a country certainly depends on the promotion of compulsory education, but the comprehensive quality of the country's elite class will always determine the success or failure of the country to a large extent, and even determine the success or failure of compulsory education itself.

Zheng Ying, an elite class that has been deeply influenced by the traditional Chinese family culture, is wary of it. In his opinion, as the country's changes gradually deepen... these people either accept transformation or part ways, but in any case, the traditional bureaucratic and scholar-officials in their bones are difficult to change.
To adapt to the new social structure, the country's future elite class must be "isolated" from the existing system in the education stage and "recreated" with an educational and cultural system that transcends the times.
As early as after going north to separating Jiangnan, Zheng Ying hired several school-running experts from Eton University in the UK to develop the overall structure of the early elite middle school, namely Nanyang Academy located in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Nanyang Academy was divided into two systems, north and south, and was renamed Shenghua Academy in Beijing, and Hualin Academy stayed in Zhaoqing. Therefore, the education system built by Zheng Ying was largely derived from the British boarding aristocratic schools, aiming to cultivate Chinese elites with a high sense of public responsibility, a strong sense of patriotism and competition, especially Chinese elites with a spirit of dedication and mission.
Ke Shan came to investigate the situation of Shenghua Academy under Zheng Yu's order.
He knew that Li Xinping must have had many speculations about his intentions, but he had no intention of explaining it. The country's development has been going on and many things must be planned for the future. In this regard, he was really surprised and admired the emperor who was ** years younger than him.
He needs to observe with his own eyes and listen with his ears to judge with his own mind. Whether this school can carry that mission will largely depend on his opinion.
The group walked into the academy.
It was the afternoon sports time, and the sports field was filled with students wearing sweatshirts, and cheerleaders wearing uniforms next to them.
"This......" Xiao Yongming from the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed to a venue, "Why are the audience sitting on the wall? Why are these students colliding together at any time, and they always grab balls around the wall...... The industry is too savage. Ranking of supernatural novels, the complete set of the Century Empire"
"This is a wall game......... ancient football originated from Britain, and Hualin is also playing," said Li Xinping. "But so far last year, we have defeated Hualin's team in the confrontation match for five consecutive years."
Ke Shan smiled and said nothing.
"There is rugby over there......" Li Xinping pointed to the adjacent venue again. "Our school attaches more importance to sports than Hualin and emphasizes collaboration. We won rugby for eight consecutive years.................. Last year, Hualin's football team was a little bit lucky, and it was basically one-sided."
"I know there is football over there..." Xiao Yongming nodded and pointed to the other side, "How come there are white people?"
"The school does not recruit foreign students..." Li Xinping looked, "There should be the football team visited by Eton University...... We and Eton, Hualin and Harrow University are friendly schools, and we visit each other regularly."
"Go and have a look." Ke Shan became interested, "Harrow's team is average, and he has been tortured by Hualin over the years... I don't know how Eaton."
On the court, the Shenglin Academy player wearing red and white team uniforms was similar to his opponent's height, but his body was obviously stronger and stronger. On the ball, the tall and thin British aristocratic children always wanted to show off their feet and snorted by the boy like a calf on the opposite side, or by the other party's merciless sliding shovel.
It can be seen that the British teenagers were obviously a little angry, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger. However, both sides received strict elite education after all, especially since they were instilled with sports guessing, so violent conflicts would not break out.
I don’t know if it’s out of trust or simply indulgence, but the referee doesn’t seem to care much.
"Most of our students enrolled at the age of six. They basically ate beef, drank milk, and did sports with a lot of exercise every day. The instructors are veteran non-commissioned officers and officers of the Imperial Guards. In terms of physical fitness alone, children of fourteen or five years old are comparable to those of the average 10-year-old farmer boy." Li Xinping said, "Although Eaton's sports are highly valued, they are much worse than us. The ranking of the Urban Rebirth Novels List Century Empire Full Text Reading Even if we fight, we are used to practicing free-handed... Although we haven't learned the killer moves of the army, ordinary people can't stand it for a few moments."
Xiao Yongming looked at the famous principal in amazement, as if he could not believe that such words came from the education expert.
"In Shenghua, the weak must be transformed into the strong, otherwise they can only be eliminated." Li Xinping said, "These children... may have problems when they were young, some were cowardly, some were vain, some were qiy, some were siblings, some were self-conscious, but graduates who came from Shenghua only had the same qualities; integrity, courage, sincerity... simple and responsible. They did not carry the vanity of the nobles' children, but heavy responsibilities. For them, dedicating themselves on the battlefield, or fighting for the interests of the country and nation at the end of the world... are far better than being with people in dance halls and salons."
"To gain a foothold in this world, it is not about retreating and tolerance, but about continuously improving strength, participating in competition bravely, and taking on your own responsibilities." Li Xinping said, "In Shenghua, all candidates have been subject to regular observation and visits since the age of three. Only those who meet the requirements can formally apply for the exam at the age of six... One of the three preparatory students will enter Shenghua Preparatory Primary School... and only one of the four people can enter Shenghua Middle School from Shenghua Primary School."
"At Shenghua Middle School...there are comprehensive assessments every year based on examinations, sports, character, etc.." As soon as Li Xinping said, even Xiao Yongming and others took a breath of air conditioning. Only Ke Shan was calm. "The loser could only go to other schools, and the winner would receive scholarships and be allowed to join the 'winning group' to obtain better accommodation and dietary conditions, and even one-on-one mentor tutoring."
Li Xinping pointed at the students on the sidelines, shouting loudly, blushingly.
"Those who wear black cloaks on the uniforms are the students of the Yousheng Group," said Li Xinping. "The one with the golden dragon embroidered on the cloak is one of the best students in the Yousheng Group, and their clothes buttons are also pure gold......... These most intuitive competitions will prompt students to tap all their potential and improve their abilities in the face of competition, and will also make them feel the cruelty of Darwin's evolution. The ultimate victory in this system is naturally the most combat-oriented and the most intelligent."
Ke Shan pointed to a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous clothes, xiong seals, and glasses; "Is that a psychologist?"
"We are called spiritual mentors here." Li Xinping smiled, "Doctors always make people think of diseases, so we include them in the ranks of teachers. Teenagers inevitably have many psychological problems, especially such cruel competition. Their responsibilities are to guide the competition among young people to the track of good xing, avoid them from having certain bad ideas, and prevent losers from having certain negative emotions. These are real experts......"
"This school..." Xiao Yongming hesitated for a moment, "Why don't there be a girl... It seems that it doesn't quite comply with the regulations of the Ministry of Culture and Education."
"Shenghua and Hualin are both boys' schools, and do not recruit any girls or any female teachers." Li Xinping said, "The late emperor issued a charter. The school is completely autonomous, and the school board has full authority to decide on all matters......"
"Shenghua strictly prohibits teenagers from having an early love. Students must devote all their energy to the growth of their minds and bodies." Li Xinping led everyone to the dormitory next to them. "Adolescents are the foundation of a person, and people's energy is limited.................. They all have extraordinary families, so they have more capital to sink into flesh and even fall into the abyss of using power to make a living. The graduates of Shenghua must be loyal to their marriage, and having extramarital affairs will be unanimously despised by their classmates."
"But they are not completely insulated from girls." Li Xinping smiled, "Since the age of sixteen, students entering the winning group can participate in the soccer dance with Fenghua Girls' School every month. It takes half a year for the ordinary group to participate. Many students find their favorites on that one......... so the competition in the winning group is even more intense."
The inside of the dormitory was a little dark. The administrator opened a room and Li Xinping pushed open the door. There were four upper and lower shops in two groups. The room was a little small and simple. It was nothing more than a desk and a wardrobe. The latest incandescent tube lamp was hung on the wall.
"This is the dormitory of the ordinary group." Li Xinping said, "The Yousheng group will be a single dormitory............Elementary school will be 9 o'clock every night, middle school will be quit at 10 o'clock every night, and go to bed on time. The instructor will personally patrol the night."
Xiao Yongming looked at the small dormitory and said with a headache, "When those people come, do they live in such a place?"
"For Shenghua, they are not so special." Li Xinping shook his head... "No matter how respectful they are in their own country, how favored they are in their own family, and they are just ordinary students. It's okay when they are in elementary school, but when they go to middle school, if they can't win in the competition, they will be eliminated."
Ke Shan listened quietly.
"Their parents sent them here, probably not to earn a name for the school, but to hope that these people can get the best education." Li Xinping said, "The concept of Shenghua is to believe that all people have potential to be explored. As long as they are not innate intellectual defects and can enter Shenghua, they have a chance to win. Destiny is always in their own hands."
"How do you plan to arrange Chinese education?" Ke Shan suddenly asked, "We calculated that the number of students enrolled in each year is probably more than fifty."
"From primary school, a special language class will be set up to educate these children in Chinese." Li Xinping said, "Children's ability to learn language is very fast... This ability will decline after the age of twelve......" "Then your school............................................................................................." Xiao Yongming pushed his glasses, "I'm talking about not only the parents of these people, but also the empire.........."
"As far as I understand, for these children, their parents hope to get five things." Li Xinping said, "First, they have excellent comprehensive qualities, able to become upper-class elites in their country, and then close personal connections with upper-class elites in our empire, which is conducive to their future development and even to the development of the entire country. Then there is outstanding language ability, who can communicate smoothly and freely in Chinese, and then a strong body and finally aristocratic demeanor and cultivation."
"In Shenghua, these five needs can be met." Li Xinping said, "The educational level of Shenghua is not to mention sports. In terms of connections, almost all the alumni graduates from Shenghua are elite talents from all walks of life in the empire. Most of the children of various noble families in the empire also studied in Shenghua and Hualin. After graduation, they have close contact with each other. In cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuhan, there are alumni gatherings every year. "At present, there are more than 3,000 students from Shenghua Middle School, more than 340 from families above the baron. There are about 1,000 children from Cining who have received scholarships with outstanding talents. The rest are gentry and business masters, or talented children from all walks of life who have outstanding contributions. The middle school recruits only 300 ordinary children who have won scholarships." Li Xinping said, "These are their future connections...not to mention Shenghua Jacky Cheung who is spread all over the empire."
"In terms of etiquette and talent, Shenghua has arranged mandatory equestrian classes, physical education classes, knife skills classes, fencing classes, piano skills classes, dance classes, etiquette classes and Western musical instrument classes since the fourth grade of elementary school. All courses are completely in accordance with the rating method of the Imperial Professional Association. Students have levels that must be achieved in these courses in a certain academic year, and they will be eliminated if they fail to meet the standards twice."
"In Shenghua, all school activities require strict implementation of the imperial etiquette system. Here, students are not regarded as children. From the middle school department, they must be responsible for themselves and be regarded as people with sufficient capacity for behavior." Li Xinping said, "From the fourth grade of the middle school department, they will join Shenghua regular forums to discuss important issues at home and abroad. They can also participate in elections to become members of Shenghua Student Autonomy Committee and participate in school management."
"In Shenghua, from the dormitory director, school group leader, sports team leader, to the chairman of the Student Autonomy Committee, every student in Shenghua is required to learn and truly assume leadership responsibilities and be responsible for themselves and others.
"In terms of the empire, my understanding is that the empire does not need a national leader with strong national nature and a smart, strong and ambitious national leaders." Li Xinping said, "Shenghua is the prosperity of the empire. The reason why we cultivate elite talents for these vassal states, protectors, supervising countries and even other Asian countries is for the benefit of the empire."
Xiao Yongming and Ke Shan looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"In Shenghua, students have received education in Chinese history and Western history from elementary school, focusing on the glory and splendor of Chinese civilization, and helping them lay a correct understanding of the country, nation, Asia and even the world." Li Xinping said, "In Shenghua, any student is always receiving the message of Chineseism. They will deeply feel the greatness of Chinese civilization, the magnificence and vastness of Chinese history."
"I have a suggestion." Ke Shan smiled slightly, "It's not us who have the most say, but the students of your school themselves......Yongming and I can interview in person, which is much better than the effect of absurdity..."
Li Xinping looked at the graduate from Nanyang Academy and nodded with a smile, "Of course there is no problem."
On the basketball court, the young man who had just been replaced took his classmate's towel and wiped his sweat, and he looked angry and erect again.
Xiao Yongming looked at the young man with beautiful eyebrows and bright figure, but he felt a lot of favor, and asked softly, "What do you call this classmate?"
The young man turned his head and saw two people wearing gorgeous clothes, not very old, with some officials standing behind him and hurriedly stood up to salute; "I am Gu Weijun, whose courtesy name is Shaochuan, is from Jiading, Jiangsu Province, and is in the sixth grade of Shenghua Academy Middle School............... What are the two officials with the tutors?" (To be continued.)!
