My Daming New Empire

Although he didn't kill anyone, it still made those dudes tremble with fear.In just half a month, the atmosphere in the capital suddenly improved a lot.

This time, no matter how much those noble families dote on their children, they also know that Zhu Zhanji is serious.

What's more, although they dote on some family children, they may not have the idea of ​​looking forward to their children's success.Anyway, it was just training in the barracks for a year or two, and no one objected this time.

After dealing with this matter, Zhu Zhanji temporarily focused on his children's education.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Zhanji's fourteen five-year-old children were all arranged to study at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain outside the capital near Xiaoling at the Habayashi School.

This is the ancestral mausoleum, and no one else can approach it, nor can they break ground casually.

When Zhu Zhanji wanted to build a school for his children, Lu Zhen objected.

However, Xiama Bridge is under construction here, and the engineering college alone covers an area of ​​more than two square kilometers.

Moreover, the internal supervisor is also building a mausoleum for Zhu Di, and work is starting everywhere.To make such a big fight was just to build a garden-style primary school, which was not very eye-catching at the time.

By the time Lu Zhen found out, all the houses had already been built here.There was nothing he could do about it. Construction had already started, and the house couldn't be demolished.

The area of ​​this garden is not too big, only three mu of land, located between Qianhu and Habayashi Weixue at the foot of the mountain.In addition, dozens of acres of land have been reserved by the lake.There are still few direct minors now, but when there are grandchildren in the future, the number will be more.

What's more, there are only primary schools now, and middle schools and universities will be set up in the future. It is impossible not to reserve enough land.

At first, outsiders were a little puzzled that Zhu Zhanji was not teaching in the palace, but seeing that Akihito, the crown prince of Dongying, was also arranged to study here, he seemed to understand.

In addition to arranging for Mingren to study in Qianhu Academy, Zhu Zhanji also arranged for Qiuzi to go to another courtyard by Crescent Lake not far to the south.

Akihito and the others attended classes for three consecutive days and played for one day.During these three days, all the children were not allowed to leave the school, and all their food and lodging were inside.

If you are reluctant to be a mother, you can visit her for a while at noon and evening every day.

This arrangement has no other meaning, nor is it to give the children a happy childhood. The key is to have an excuse for Qiuzi to go out often and send it to her door.

Zhu Zhanji asked Lan Yan to be the head of the royal school, because only she knew what the school of later generations was like and what the school's shortcomings were.

Because the children were still young, fifteen children were divided into one class. Instead of being taught by great Confucians, the concubines began to teach them the alphabet.

There are only fifteen children in this elementary school, but it doesn't mean that there are only fifteen students. In fact, there are more than two hundred students here.

It's just that the other students are already adults, and they are maids of honor in the palace.

At Zhu Zhanji's request, all literate court ladies who were over 30 years old but not released must receive pinyin education.

In the next few years, Zhu Zhanji will open many new primary schools in Yingtianfu. These helpless court ladies will be the teachers of the school in the future.

As long as you learn pinyin, you don't have to wait for the death of the first emperor or amnesty before you can release it home, which makes most of the more than 3000 court ladies in the inner palace flock to it.

Except for the maids who can hang their names in front of the nobles, in the entire palace, the maids are lower-level existences than the eunuchs.

Their status is low and they have no human rights. Not to mention the nobles, even the eunuchs can bully them. I don’t know how many are killed every year.

Moreover, when they entered the palace, they were seldom experienced, and most of them were not allowed to leave the palace for the rest of their lives because they knew the secrets of the harem.

Even if they are old and decrepit and released from the palace, their parents have long since passed away, and some brothers and nephews can worship them until their death with pity, but most of them don't even recognize themselves by their own relatives.

Many court ladies were released from the palace, unable to live by themselves, and had no choice but to ask to enter the palace and work in the inner treasury for a living.

But the inner treasury is basically young maids who have not entered the palace, and they are quick to work, so they are naturally welcomed. Those who are inconvenient are just asking for a bite to survive.

Zhu Zhanji no longer respects women, but he has the idea of ​​equality between men and women in later generations, so naturally he can't stand it.

But he is not the emperor yet, nor can he be Zhu Di's family, so let's change the way and find a way out for these court ladies.

It was impossible for those Confucian scholars to accept Hanyu Pinyin at first, but they could accept it.In addition to them, there are also those old eunuchs. As long as they can read, Zhu Zhanji is willing to send them to be elementary school teachers.

Of course, the two hundred court ladies are not all of them. They are just some representatives. They have learned pinyin and will teach others after they go back.

These court ladies and eunuchs who are all literate, as long as Yingtian Mansion's side, the common people can accept them to teach their children, it is equivalent to accepting this kind of education method.

Three years to five years, ten years to 20 years, when the first batch of people who have received pinyin education grow up, they will naturally see that pinyin teaches literacy, which will be more effective than rote memorization.

But he hasn't figured it out yet. Since he used pinyin to teach in the royal family, how can the common people learn from it?

In this centralized society, his preference is what everyone in the whole country likes.

The textbooks for the first grade are very simple, that is, pinyin, picture literacy, multiplication tables and so on.

In addition to these, Zhu Zhanji also asked the concubines in the harem to compile a book of [-] whys, explaining some natural phenomena in the world, and even great principles, in an easy-to-understand dialogue.

This is the best way to cultivate a child's curiosity about all the unknown, and even the heart of exploration.

Zhu Zhanji didn't think that all his children could become talents, but as long as they don't hold back, it is enough to show in any aspect.

There are only fifteen real students in this school, but the number of teachers is several times more. Each child's personal eunuch and court lady also do volunteer work in the school, but during the class, everyone abides by the school rules without discrimination.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help with education, but he built a playground in the school to give them a place to play after class.

Of course, it is unavoidable to go out occasionally to steal something.

In this regard, not to mention his concubines, even those civil servants, did not take it seriously. Compared with most emperors, Zhu Zhanji's personal morality is almost impeccable.

On March [-]th, the Spring Festival ended on this day, and Zhu Zhanji's short leisure time also came to an end.

The next month will be his busiest time.

The imperial court needs to select more than 1 Jinshi from among the more than 1000 candidates, and he also needs to select some seeds from these people.

Today is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, not the end of the Ming Dynasty when talents were overflowing.So now although the number of candidates for each subject will not exceed [-], the number of candidates will exceed [-].

In the Yongle Dynasty, now after six times of spring, the number of people selected each time exceeds [-]. All the top three, even if they are deposed in the palace examination, will be screened again with other people, selected as Shujishi, and appointed to official positions.

This is mainly because there was a shortage of scholars and officials everywhere in the early Ming Dynasty.

However, Zhu Zhanji has appointed many craftsmen as officials in the past few years. He decided to select strictly for this subject.

Later generations only select more than 300 people each time, and he should do the same, so that those scholars know that being an official is not only the only way to be an imperial examination.

(During the Spring Festival, things are busy, and tomorrow a friend gets married, and I have to help him, and I have to run hundreds of miles to pick up his relatives. I will not drink at noon tomorrow, and try to come back as soon as possible to update. Please be considerate. After the ninth day, I will resume normal updates. Also started to pay off the debt slowly.)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

From the first month to March of the 19th year of Yongle, Yang Dao experienced a magical three months.

From the southernmost tip of Dongzhou South Continent, along the coastline all the way north, he was always amazed by the brand new world in front of him.

On the east and west sides of Dongzhou Continent, on one side of the continent are towering mountains and deserts.On the other side, it is a flat grassland.

Here is a bit like Daming. On the eastern coast of Daming, the terrain is flat, but the west is a plateau desert.
