Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Huangwei College was originally a concept created by Zhu Yue. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao just picked up a ready-made one and advanced this teaching method!

Therefore, Zhu Yue's attitude on matters concerning the Royal Guards College is definitely what Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are most concerned about. They will express their absolute support for any opinions he has.

There is no way, who can make their vision and thinking always inferior to Lao Jiu?

Even they have all been to the modern society of later generations, but they know what it is but don’t know why!

Deeper ideologies cannot be fully understood and absorbed just by looking at them with your eyes!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao are also very clear about their positioning. They are basically acting as Lao Jiu's tools!

How Ming Dynasty should develop now is basically carried out according to the big framework formulated by Lao Jiu. To put it bluntly, they are the executors of the plan, not the makers!

Fortunately, the one who formulated the plan was Lao Jiu. If it had been any other person, he would have been deposed by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao!

After all, it is estimated that only Zhu Li can transform the emperor and the prince into migrant workers!

"Lao Jiu, how many students do you think is appropriate for the Imperial Guard Academy to enroll in its first year?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a change of subject.

"The number of students does not need to be too large. We only accept 500 freshmen a year. After three years of study, you can graduate successfully if you pass the examination. In addition, those who are willing to continue to study in depth can also add three years of advanced classes!"

Zhu Li thought for a while and then expressed his thoughts.

Some contents of the nine-year compulsory education stage in later generations are simplified here. Many knowledge points in later generations do not actually need to be learned, because they were not used at all in the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, the content of the nine-year compulsory education can basically be completed in three years!

And these students who graduated in three years are equivalent to junior high school graduates who have completed nine years of compulsory education in future generations!

As for the so-called three-year advanced class, it is more like the vocational and technical schools of later generations, which provide specialized training specifically for the specialties and talents of these graduates!

After all, what the Ming Dynasty urgently needs is more talents in basic industries. For example, some of the more high-tech and esoteric theoretical knowledge of later generations has no use in the current Ming Dynasty!

After the overall industrial level and educational level of Ming Dynasty improve in the future, in-depth reforms and changes can be carried out in a targeted manner!

"Is five hundred people too few?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.

After all, five hundred people are really insignificant to the entire Ming Dynasty, and cultivating talents is also a long process. After a few years, these five hundred people will not be able to become talents!

"A lot!"

"These five hundred people will learn a knowledge system that even ordinary people cannot teach!"

"We also have a limited number of teachers. One teacher is responsible for a class of about fifty students at most. No matter how many people there are, it will lower the quality of education!"

"When the first batch of students we train graduates successfully in the future, we can choose a group of them to stay and teach, and then open other colleges and universities throughout the Ming Dynasty. By then, the number will naturally increase!"

Zhu Yue shook his head and explained. It is said that it takes ten years for trees to grow and one hundred years for people to grow. You should not be anxious about education, otherwise it will be counterproductive!

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. For the time being, we will recruit 500 students every year, and we will slowly expand the scale in the future!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Yue's explanation, he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he finally nodded and agreed.

After all, these students who graduated from the Royal Guard College will become the pillars of the imperial court in the future. Basically, as long as they can successfully graduate, they can work as an official and part-time official, and those who perform well can even become frontier officials!

Zhu Yue is right. For these talents, we must not focus only on quantity and ignore quality!

If the talents trained are not qualified, no matter how many they are, it will be of no use!

……

Zhu Yue did not stay in Xi'an Mansion for too long, only a few days.

In the past few days, those officials who opposed the imperial court's establishment of the Imperial Guard College, especially the so-called Yanshenggong Kongne, were all dismissed from their posts without exception, and went back to their hometowns to retire in despair!

The imperial court can continue to pay them salaries and send them to coffins, which can be regarded as giving them the last dignity!

As for their original vacancies, there are plenty of people willing to fill them!

Including Kong Ne, the Duke of Yansheng, was also replaced by another disciple of the Kong family!

Even the Kong family is not monolithic, and there are many people who want to step on Kong Ne and get to the top!

It is not difficult to choose another Yanshenggong.

Of course, the premise is that you must support the various reforms of the imperial court!

Moreover, the newly appointed Yan Shenggong will also be the mascot of the Royal Guard College, and he will have the title of honorary chief teacher there!

As for the first principal of Imperial Guard College, it was naturally Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!

There are also two vice-principals, namely the Crown Prince Zhu Biao, and the King of Han Zhu Yue!

After handling these matters, Zhu Li took Fang Xiaoru directly back to Hanzhong Mansion.

The first day of July in the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu was the official opening day for the first batch of students at Imperial College.

Starting from this year, Imperial College will use the selection and assessment method in the first half of the year to select students, and then officially start school on the first day of July in the second half of the year!

Starting from the second year, the number of students recruited will become more stringent, mainly because of the stricter age restrictions!

The first year is still between the ages of eight and fourteen, and the second year is directly divided between the ages of eight and twelve!

In the third year, only those between eight and ten years old will be selected, and the age standard for selecting students will remain at this stage for a long time.

Because in the future, graduates from the three-year system will not actually play a big role. They will be more like a normal school. To put it bluntly, they will train more junior high school graduates to go to county schools in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Be a teacher of lectures and lectures, and cultivate more scholars!

The imperial court will also focus on the students who can successfully graduate from the advanced class!

There will even be something more powerful than the advanced class in the future, and the academic years will also increase accordingly, which is equivalent to a university in future generations!

Of course, this is all future development plan!

As for the first official opening of the Imperial College, Zhu Li, the vice-principal, will naturally be present.

So at the end of June, he came to Xi'an Mansion again.

In the business building of Xi'an Mansion, a group of Huaixi nobles headed by Lan Yu were accompanying Zhu Li to change cups, with unbearable smiles on their faces!

Now, each of these nobles has become the first batch of martial arts instructors at the Imperial Guard Academy, allowing them to specifically help the Ming Dynasty train military generals and military-related talents!

In other words, from now on, the outstanding new generation generals and military talents of the Ming Dynasty will all be the disciples and grandsons of these nobles!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang had specially summoned them into the palace before and warned them repeatedly not to form cliques or even accept adopted children in the Imperial College, but even normal teaching could make them Establish a teacher-student relationship with these future military generals of the Ming Dynasty!
