Chapter 851 Business School.
Ye Kun nodded: "That's fine, I'll talk to the teachers."
The middle school here is together with the primary school.
It doesn't look very large.
Ye Kun walked into the school gate and asked, "How many primary schools and middle schools are there on our farm?"
“There are only three primary schools and one middle school.”
"How many school-age children are there?"
"More than four thousand."
"With so many school-age children, these few schools are far from enough."
Ye Kun sighed.
The school principal, along with several teachers, came to greet them and bowed.
Ye Kun clasped his fists in return: "Teachers, thank you for your hard work. I'm here to understand the situation, everyone don't need to be restrained."
Everyone nodded and invited Ye Kun into the office.
Ye Kun sat down and listened to the principal's report.
There are three primary schools on the farm, and this one is the largest, with more than 400 students.
There are only about 200 students in the middle school.
There are also many school-age children who cannot go to school.
Because the journey is too long, or there is no money or time.
"This won't work. This kind of development is far behind the mainland of China."
Ye Kun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It is my incompetence and the court's negligence that has neglected the development of the major farms in the Western Regions and education and medical care. Here, I apologize to all the teachers and promise to all the teachers that the education problem will be solved immediately.
We need to expand existing schools, build a number of new schools, improve teachers' salaries, improve school teaching and accommodation conditions, and improve food standards.
We will also need to train a large number of teachers and significantly increase education funding to support education in major farms in the Western Regions!"
Upon hearing this, everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "I have decided to build Loulan University in the ancient city of Loulan, which will recruit both Loulan students and Han students. Let the children here have the opportunity to go to university and become the pillars of the country!"
Ayiman and Ayibo were also delighted when they heard this and led the applause.
There is actually a university in Loulan, which was something we could never have imagined before.
After all, the total number of Loulan people is only 20,000.
Ye Kun asked for a map, analyzed the population distribution by comparing it with the map, pointed out and said:
"Any settlement with more than 1,000 people must have a primary school. Even settlements with around 500 people that are too far from a school can set up a teaching point for lower grades. Start with the first and second grades of the primary school, and when the children are older, they can go to a bigger school."
Guan Yebao smiled and said, "In this case, we will have to add at least five more primary schools and one more middle school."
"Then increase it, don't worry about spending money."
Ye Kun was still as arrogant as ever: "Children are the hope of China and the masters of the future. Without children, the struggle of our generation will be meaningless."
Ayibo suddenly stood up and said with a smile:
"We, the Loulan people, have been cared for by the Chinese Han and the emperor, and our lives are getting better and better. We are grateful and have donated 1,000 taels of gold to build the school here and Loulan University."
Ayiman also smiled and said, "I will personally sponsor another 1,000 taels of gold."
Ye Kun laughed loudly: "Everyone has donated money, so I want to show my appreciation too. How about this? I will donate 5,000 taels of gold personally, and put it together with the money from Queen Ayiman and her sisters to establish the 'Western Region Education Foundation'. We will deposit this money in the bank, and use the annual interest to support the education cause in the Western Region."
Guan Bao smiled and said, "Then I will mobilize some wealthy merchants in the Western Regions and get some donations to raise the fund to 10,000 taels."
There are many wealthy businessmen in the Western Regions, some of whom are even rich enough to rival a country.
They have been cultivating the Western Region trade route for a long time, connecting China and Rome. They are truly international traders and multinational capitalists!
Aibo frowned and said, "Even if we can collect 10,000 taels of gold, how much interest can we get each year?"
"The annual interest rate is 5%, which is also 500 taels of gold, and it is paid every year."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "The investment in education in the Western Regions will be fully borne by the Han Dynasty. This Western Regions Education Fund will only be a supplement to the court to remind everyone to attach importance to education."
The court has no shortage of money to add a number of schools.
In the past few years, over 10,000 primary schools, more than 1,000 middle schools, and more than 100 universities have been added in the nine provinces of China.
With such a small population in the Western Region, it really doesn't cost much.
Aibo understood and said with a wry smile: "Yes, compared to the Han Dynasty, our donation is insignificant."
"A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is a token of great sentiment. We will never forget Miss Aibo's concern and contribution to education in the Western Regions."
Ye Kun smiled and instructed Guo Ping:
"You should quickly train a group of teachers and prepare to add and expand schools. Children who have graduated from junior high school and have excellent grades can teach in primary schools after a simple training."
Guo Ping nodded and asked again: "But what about the university teachers?"
"University professor, let me handle it. We can transfer talents from Chang'an and Jincheng."
Ye Kun thought for a moment and said:
"Given that Loulan has a small population, the university doesn't need to be too large. I suggest that the university offer majors in teacher education, agriculture and animal husbandry, ecological protection, and business... The annual enrollment should be controlled at around 500 people. We can add other majors or expand the enrollment of students later depending on the situation."
Aibo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how do we open a business major? Should we invite businessmen to teach us how to make money?"
Guan Yebao couldn't help but smile: "Yeah, who is willing to tell others about the experience of making money?"
"Everyone, it's not just merchants who do business. Many ancient books in our country of China record the experience of doing business."
Ye Kun looked at everyone and smiled, "Business has its own rules and theories. Business is inextricably linked to logistics, transportation, astronomy and geography, local customs, economics and finance, and mathematical coordination.
There is a lot of knowledge to learn in the business department. A few years ago, Tiangong University in Chengdu established a business school to train business talents. Zhuojun University also has a business department. Therefore, our teaching materials are ready-made, and we just need to transfer a few teachers over. "
Aibo was very interested: "Your Majesty, what are the courses in the Department of Business? Can you give us an example and tell us how to do business?"
Everyone looked at Ye Kun with anticipation.
"If I want to give an example, it's also very simple. I participated in the compilation of business school textbooks and provided a short story. Let me tell you about it."
Ye Kun also became interested and said with a smile: "Our ships sell porcelain overseas. Sometimes when there are storms on the sea, the porcelain collides with each other and breaks. Our merchants are very smart. They fill the middle of the porcelain with tea leaves. In this way, with the shock absorption protection of tea leaves, the porcelain will not collide with each other. When we go overseas, we can sell both porcelain and tea leaves, and make an extra cent.
This is a coordinated business arrangement and a measure that kills two birds with one stone.
There are many more examples in the business school textbooks. Let me give you another one..."
