Sun Simiao was puzzled and said, "It's just a twelve-year-old child who doesn't know anything about the relationship between men and women. What's the harm? Moreover, the rise of female doctors is beneficial to the country and the people."
Yan Shigu snorted and glanced at Merton, "We naturally understand Doctor Sun's painstaking efforts. If it was before, the Old Man might not object, but now everyone in the world is pursuing Merton's' The Lovers of Liang '. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for boys and girls to go to school together. This trend can't be continued."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Meton couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly. He didn't expect that the popularity of 'The Lovers of Liang' would become an obstacle for girls to go to school.
"Boys and girls should not touch each other. Boys and girls can't sleep at the same table when they are seven years old. Boys and girls should not sit together. Boys and girls should not ask each other. It's inappropriate for girls to go to school. "Li Duo denied Sun Simiao's request.
"But as far as I know, the compulsory education in the Village of Mo's Village is coeducational. I don't know what Merton's explanation is." Yan Shigu pursued on this issue.
Meton smiled and said, "The School of Mo doesn't care about boys and girls. Moreover, the School of Mo believes that boys can get married when they are 18 years old. After six years of primary school, they will only be 12 years old. It has nothing to do with boys and girls. Besides, the Village of Mo's Village is also taught in separate classes for boys and girls. They don't care. "
"Even if they are taught in separate classes, they are still in the same school. This is extremely inappropriate." Kong Yingda frowned.
Meton retorted, "The Confucian school believes that a girl without talent is virtuous, but the School of Mo is the opposite. The School of Mo believes that a girl should have both talent and virtue. Only by cultivating a girl with noble virtue, she will naturally keep herself clean. There is no need to worry about boys and girls, instead of simply separating boys and girls. "
Kong Yingda couldn't help but be angry. According to Mo Jiazi's theory, the Confucian school was a villain in vain.
"No, boys and girls can't have the slightest negligence. The basic strategy is to guard against mistakes." Kong Yingda didn't compromise.
Seeing Kong Yingda's firm attitude, Sun Simiao couldn't help sighing regretfully and said, "In that case, forget it!"
This was the key to the rise of the School of Medicine. If there was a lack of female medical apprentices, the progress of the School of Medicine would be slowed down.
Meton chuckled and said, "This matter is easy to solve. Since the Confucian school is unwilling to accept female disciples, we can choose from the Village of Mo. Regardless of gender, the Village of Mo must attend school. We can definitely provide enough female medical apprentices for the School of Medicine."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Merton," Sun Simiao said, frowning slightly.
It was true that there were quite a number of female students in the Mo Family Village, but it was still a drop in the bucket when faced with the huge demand for female doctors in the School of Medicine. Furthermore, it was not beneficial for the School of Medicine to select elite talents.
However, Kong Yingda frowned when he heard this. No matter how exquisite the teachings of the various schools of thought were, they still needed someone to pass it on. If the female doctors of the School of Medicine came from the Mo Clan, then the School of Medicine would no longer be the School of Medicine. Wouldn't it become a vassal of the School of Mohism? Furthermore, this situation would be the result of the Confucian school personally pushing the School of Medicine towards the School of Mohism.
"In the Old Man's opinion, the School of Medicine is like a bystander who is closely involved in the situation! The School of Medicine has already established a female medical school. If there is a need for female medical apprentices, why not establish a female medical school to groom them? Wouldn't this be the best of both worlds? "Kong Yingda reminded as he changed the topic.
"A female medical school!"
"Like the female medical school, a school that only accepts females!"
Sun Simiao's eyes lit up. He was the one who was in the dark! The School of Medicine already had their own medical school to groom female doctors. Why not establish a female medical school to groom talents for the female medical school? Furthermore, the School of Medicine was not lacking in money.
When the other schools of thought heard this, although they were dissatisfied with Kong Yingda setting a precedent for female medical school, they kept their mouths shut. After all, they did not want girls to enter primary schools, nor did they want the School of Mohism to encroach on the School of Medicine. This was probably the only way.
"Many thanks!" Sun Simiao solemnly thanked the various schools of thought. After all, with the tacit approval of the various schools of thought, the School of Medicine's female medical school would definitely be established smoothly. This was a rare opportunity for the School of Medicine.
"Let us congratulate the School of Medicine in advance!" The various schools of thought returned the greeting. After all, the rise of female doctors was beneficial to everyone.
When Kong Yingda saw this, he could not help but smile at Meton. With a female medical school, the School of Medicine would definitely gradually become independent. There would be a day when it would be completely separated from the School of Mohism, just like Li Duo's Teacher College.
Meton smiled. He had never thought of controlling the School of Mohism. However, Kong Yingda was also taking it for granted. If the School of Medicine wanted to prosper, it would definitely be inseparable from the School of Mohism's precision instruments. The cooperation between the two schools would not be so easily severed.
"The rise of the School of Medicine is a great thing. It just so happens that my School of Mohism is also going to establish a medical school. I have specially informed all of you to prevent any misunderstandings." Meton said craftily.
The School of Mohism was also going to establish a medical school! Many of the schools of thought were stunned and instantly fell silent. Could it be that the School of Mohism could not bear the loneliness and wanted to establish a medical school to accept disciples? If that was the case, it would be big news!
"Misunderstandings? Could it be that Merton wants to widely accept disciples and establish a school? "Kong Yingda said solemnly.
Meton shook his head and said, "That's not the case. This school is not for me to recruit disciples. It is for three-year-old children. Furthermore, this school will allow boys and girls to be in the same school, in the same class, and at the same table."
"Three-year-old children? Boys and girls to be in the same school, in the same class, and at the same table? "In an instant, almost everyone stared at Meton in confusion.
Seeing everyone's gaze on him, Meton could not help but reveal a blissful smile and said, "Everyone already knows that Changle is already pregnant. As a first-time father, I naturally want my child to become a dragon or phoenix among men."
Cheng Yaojin laughed when he saw this and said, "You brat, in the imperial court, you made Du Chuke speechless. Why is it that when it comes to your own child, you also want to recite ancient poems at three years old, know a thousand words at five years old, and be familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at seven years old. Ah! No, it's the Mohist Classics. "
The other members of the Hundred Schools could not help but chuckle when they heard this. They naturally understood the feelings of being a father, so they naturally understood Meton's actions.
Meton shook his head and said, "That's not the case. This school is called a kindergarten, and it is for the sake of enlightening young children. On one hand, it allows young children to grow up happily, and at the same time, it can open up their wisdom. It is not for three-year-old children to bitterly study the books of sages. True knowledge is still completed in primary school. "
"Why is that?" Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion.
"This Mo secretly believes that children are naturally innocent and unaffected. A three-year-old child is forced to recite ancient poems, know a thousand words, and even learn the four arts. How cruel is this to not be able to relax?" Meton said in a low voice.
"You know me well!"
Li Tai looked at Meton with a gentler gaze. What Meton was talking about was also his childhood.
"I do not wish for my child to experience such a tragic childhood again. However, the children of ordinary families are left to their own devices, wasting their time as well. This Mo has thought of establishing a school specifically for children between the ages of three and six. Firstly, it can allow three-year-old children to have friends and a happy childhood. Secondly, it can open up their minds and teach them etiquette. It can even lay down a foundation for their future education." Merton said. Once the kindergarten had been established for three years, it would definitely mature. At that time, his child would be able to enter the school.
Li Tai's eyes could not help but light up. This kind of childhood was something he had always dreamed of.
Everyone looked at Meton with a gentler gaze. Meton was simply a model father. First, he built a hospital for women and children to ensure the safety of the unborn child. Now, before the child was born, he had already set up the best education for the child three years in advance.
"Of course, this Mo has his own selfish motives. Nowadays, men and women in the Mo Family Village are all migrant workers. Most of the children have no one to take care of them. If they are neglected, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to their growth. Once the kindergarten is established, even the children of ordinary families will not lose at the starting line.
The other people also nodded. Reciting ancient poems at the age of three, knowing a thousand words at the age of five, and being familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of seven. This was only the treatment of children of rich families. Poor families could only waste their time playing in the fields of their hometown. It could be said that the starting point of their birth was different, and the kindergarten would reduce this gap to the extreme.
Hearing this, Li Duo could not help but sigh with emotion. "This is a good plan. All the people in the world can enjoy an equal education."
Three-year-old children entering school had always been the monopoly of rich families. Once the kindergarten was established, ordinary families could easily bear the cost of the education. Firstly, it could make their children more outstanding. Secondly, it could free the parents. There were many benefits.
Meton nodded and said, "In this world, there are people who are born noble and people who are born poor. However, there is only one thing that is fair, and that is education. Every teacher wants to teach everything they know. Every student's knowledge is obtained through their own efforts. We can never be fair in other aspects. Only in education can we be infinitely close."
In other situations, Meton naturally could not say anything. However, in front of a group of hundred families, they were like-minded in this aspect. Naturally, Meton could speak freely.
Everyone nodded one after another. Even Kong Yingda could not help but sigh. Although his status today was due to the influence of the Kong Family, it was more important for him to work hard. In the past, in order to pursue his studies, he had suffered a lot. Furthermore, he had to bear the burden of the reputation of the Kong Family for thousands of years. The pain he suffered was not known to outsiders.
"As I said earlier, there is no distinction between men and women before the age of seven. The kindergarten plan is feasible. However, the Old Man believes that the Three Character Classic can be removed from the Chinese language. It is most suitable to be placed in the kindergarten as an enlightenment material!" Kong Yingda nodded in agreement with Meton's kindergarten plan. However, he did not forget to remove the Mo Family's share from the Chinese language.
"Okay!" Meton nodded without hesitation. Primary school students were not at the age to study the Mo Family's classics. As long as the students knew the Mo Family's philosophy of love without discrimination, it would be fine.
Kong Yingda nodded in satisfaction. The reason why he agreed to build the kindergarten was mainly because he wanted to use the Mo Family Village as a pilot. If it was really feasible, it could be taken under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College in the future, just like the primary school.
At this point, the Hundred Families Conference had officially ended. Before this, no one had expected that the original discussion of the Chinese language would end up with a girls' school and a kindergarten.
However, no one noticed that there was one person present who did not say a word. That person was Zu Mingjun of the School of Mathematics. In this Hundred Schools of Thought Conference, the Confucian school had monopolized 60% of the 'National Literature' book, solidifying the Confucian school's supremacy. The other schools monopolized 40%. Even though the School of Mathematics monopolized the 'Mathematics' book, everyone subconsciously ignored it.
This Hundred Families Conference had each gained something. However, it was not certain who had gained the most.
