I write novels in the East Palace

In fact, apart from the basic three-piece set of teaching, what Zhou Chengyi most wanted to change was the outrageous curriculum, and the second was the teaching materials.And these things are not counted even if Grand Master Shen said it, they must be nodded by the emperor.

The reason why Zhou Chengyi deliberately asked Chang Xia to take Zhu Chunfu away was because Jiang Taigong was fishing for volunteers, which was a conspiracy.

He believed that there was Zhu Chunfu, a bright and upright young man, and the emperor probably received the news as soon as he entered the Ministry of Industry.

Zhou Chengyi's guess was right, the emperor had known about it a long time ago, but it wasn't Zhu Chunfu's fault, but the Ministry of Industry. When he heard that it was something the abolished prince wanted to make, and it was unheard of or unseen, he immediately reported it.

"It's interesting. My son has been holding back for a long time, and he has a lot of wonderful ideas in his mind." The emperor wrote the approval on the memorial with a quill pen while talking.

Yes, that's right, a quill.

Since the emperor discovered the magical effect of the fine nib, the office has been replaced by a quill pen, and the Ministry of Industry has also asked the Ministry of Industry to make a special ink for easy use.

But because the Western Regions only paid tribute to one swan, so... Fortunately, Brother Swan suffered from Zhou Chengyi's murderous hand and it coincided with moulting for the winter. Xiao Shizi only felt that the big goose was a bit fierce recently and he was not allowed to ride it. He didn't find anything wrong. OK.

Wang He also laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and followed the emperor's mind to spit out good words, "Your Highness has a deep heart, and has always been very smart, but he didn't like to show off in the past."

"He just sits too smoothly and doesn't have any drive." The emperor said so, but there was a smile in his eyes.

When the project was completed, the emperor "coincidentally" summoned a group of ministers to talk about the matter, including Prime Minister Fang and Grand Master Shen, who were all very important people in the court.Tang Henian and his apprentice were also among them, but he came to ask for resignation and had just arrived not long ago.

Many courtiers saw the dissatisfied eyes of the young man behind him, and felt that Tang Gong Yilao betrayed the old man and brought him with him knowing the identity of the young man, but His Majesty never said anything. The disaster of the past has been reversed. In fact, they mistakenly thought that they meant to criticize Prime Minister Fang by accusing Sang and Huai.

They can only give up angrily.

"The Ministry of Industry has made something new, you might as well go and have a look with me."

The emperor got up, and his eyes stopped for a moment on the handsome young man behind Tang Henian, "You and him have been friends for a long time, let's come together."

Fang Guanyan's heart skipped a beat, his face remained calm, and he lowered his head in response: "Yes."

Zhou Chengyi expected that the cheap father would come, and he would definitely bring a group of people, not to mention anything else, the Hanlin Academy must have come out in full force.

There were only two things that surprised him. One was that the unknown soldier in red robes who he thought was sent by the Ministry of Industry to oversee the workers turned out to be Jiang Shilang, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Industry; The incompatible young faces of the aging ministers.

Such a close to perfect skin and bone, it is unforgettable when you see it, it is the contemporary Wei Jie who has met once, and his life experience is a mystery.

Zhou Chengyi's gaze was so straightforward that Fang Guanyan didn't care whether he wanted to pay attention, he raised his eyelids and looked at him with a smile.

"..." Zhou Chengyi, who was once again shocked by his beauty, turned his eyes and quickly retracted his gaze.

People from the Ministry of Industry are installing the blackboard. Zhou Chengyi forgot to ask for a movable blackboard that can be pushed up and down. It took some time for the craftsmen to redo the track.

The South Study Room was over from school, but Xu Rui and Pei Ye hadn't returned home yet. The two of them were so curious about the new clothes that they even forgot the fear of being caught and slapped their backs.

Now there are more curious ones.

Ding Guogong, who came to join in the fun, looked left and right for clues, and couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Just as Ye Shulang was about to speak, Xu Rui robbed him of the words, "Father, why don't you even know this, this is a blackboard!" He puffed out his chest proudly as he spoke.

"What is the blackboard... used for?" an adult asked.

Xu Rui couldn't tell why.

Duke Ding covered his old face and didn't want to see anyone anymore, "Stinky boy, your tail will turn up after learning a word, come here quickly, don't be ashamed."

In the end, Ye Shulang introduced it carefully.

"Father, my son has a play." Zhou Chengyi saw the timing and suddenly said.

The noise stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at him in surprise, most of them cursed in their hearts: It seems that there is no chance for such a long silence, the prince is finally in a hurry. ——They all thought that what he did this time must be to turn things around.

All the courtiers kept silent and peeked at the emperor's face. The latter's expression was difficult to distinguish, and he only uttered one word, "Oh?"

Not wanting to abolish the crown prince, what he said solemnly was: "Father, my son privately thinks that the class hours in the South Study Room are unreasonable and need to be changed."

The emperor touched a string of pearls and jade on his wrist, but did not say a word.

"According to His Highness, how should it be changed?" Grand Master Shen stroked his gray beard and asked with great interest.

"That's it."

Zhou Chengyi took the chalk and turned around to draw on the blackboard a schedule commonly used in modern schools, but replaced the time with the ancient [-]-day dry timer, and took a blank schedule for the subjects beside it, deliberately using red Chalk marks the key points.

He popularized science, "In fact, it is not only the long class hours that are unreasonable. The courses should be subdivided, so that teachers who are good at teaching the subjects they are good at; the teaching materials should also be standardized, and the subject outlines should be specified. Teachers can expand and extend knowledge. This aimless and unfocused teaching method should be put an end to."

"That makes sense." Master Shen nodded, and most of the courtiers agreed.

An adult came out to express a question, "Why are there half a quarter of an hour between each class? And is a class of three quarters of an hour too short?"

"Three quarters of an hour is the most effective study time. After it is over, students tend to be distracted. As for the half an hour that is spared, it is used for students to rest." A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes, and a quarter of an hour is 7 -8 minutes.

In fact, according to Zhou Chengyi, the ideal time between classes should be 10 minutes, but the ancient time scale is not as detailed as the modern one, and 15 minutes is too long.However, starting from scratch is already an incredible step forward.

Sure enough, Xu Rui and Pei Ye, the only two hard-working students present, let out a short cheer when they heard that they could rest after class.

However, the courtiers held more objections.

"Take a rest just because a few students are distracted, isn't it because of choking?!" The adult said in a deafening and impassioned way, "If people who study are so lazy, those who live in the temple are mediocre, and the students of Taixue play all day long, as in the past, the world will be happy. Isn't it messy!"

"Yes, I agree with His Royal Highness's high opinion of reforming the curriculum, but this timetable precedent must not be set!"

There are quite a few people who agree with it, and there are also those who oppose it, "Is editing this statement too serious?"

Zhou Chengyi looked around and found that no matter whether it was the emperor, Prime Minister Fang, Grand Master Shen, Duke Ding, etc., they were all watching from the sidelines.

He immediately understood that this was to argue.Zhou Chengyi tactically cleared his throat, and extended his hand in a friendly manner, but he stopped talking, "This..."

Everyone was waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's high-spirited speech, and even the sudden pause thought it was a way to attract attention, and everyone looked at him eagerly.

At this moment, a calm voice with a bit of morality intervened: "Lu Guangfu Lu editor of the Imperial Academy."

"Editor Lu, I've offended you." Zhou Chengyi was kind and generous, and looked gratefully at Tang Henian who spoke uprightly.

Tang Henian glanced at him from the corner of his eye to remind him that the apprentice who was covering his mouth with his sleeve saw a smile in his slightly curved eyes.

Zhou Chengyi was in line with Lu Guangfu, "What Mr. Lu said is really exaggerated. The student's distraction is not due to lack of focus, but tiredness."

"Master Lu, did you ever teach in the South Study Room?" Zhou Chengyi asked.

Lu Guangfu nodded: "Naturally."

"Then Master Lu ever asked the students to read aloud in class? How long was it?"

Lu Guangfu answered one by one, "If you don't read aloud, how can you remember it in your heart? Usually, it takes half an hour to memorize it. If you can't memorize it, continue."

Zhou Chengyi smiled, but his eyes sharpened suddenly, wondering, "Master Lu, why didn't he finish the whole class, instead he was lazy and told the students to read aloud. The teacher is so lax, isn't the student mediocre?"

He directly buckled back the hat that Lu Guangfu had buckled over.

"How can this be the same!"

"What's the difference?"

Zhou Chengyi asked with a smile, "Mao shi will be in class at noon and there will be a four-hour break. If the teacher can't insist on teaching, he will ask the students to read aloud. Are the students just steel and iron? If Master Lu can guarantee a whole day's concentration, why not come on stage now? Do you want to demonstrate it yourself?"

"You are sophistry!" Lu Guangfu was speechless, but he was particularly unwilling.

A lord walked out from the side, the original owner did know him, it was censor Zheng lord.

Mr. Zheng was very polite. He cupped his fists first and then said, "Reading is beneficial to students' learning. Diligence can make up for one's weakness. Diligence can also accumulate accumulation. An ancient saying goes: "Read a book a hundred times, and you will see the meaning."

"As Mr. Zheng said, what do you need a master for? It's better to hold books and read forever. A saint is no better than traveling around the world." Zhou Chengyi refuted it in one sentence, and he added modestly, "It is better to have no books than to believe in books." , This is what Master Meng said."

The whole audience was quiet for a while, not sure if they were shocked by his sudden momentum.

Zhou Chengyi had a panoramic view of everyone's faces, and slowed down his tone and retreated, "Actually, no matter how much you and I argue, it's not as intuitive as the effect of the experiment. It's a mule or a horse. Pull it out for a walk."

Suddenly, a down-to-earth saying dilutes the tense atmosphere caused by the dispute a lot, and Ye Shulang's young man who passed the exam from the countryside even laughed out loud.

Jiang Shilang, a man of action, came out to remonstrate in a timely manner, "Your Majesty, I think what your Highness said is very true."

Grand Master Shen nodded appreciatively, "The debate is endless, and who is right and who is wrong will be judged by the facts. Veteran invitation."

"Your servant is waiting for the invitation." Lord Zheng and Lord Lu also agreed with this method.

Only then did the emperor finally speak, "Since all the ministers have this intention, let's act accordingly."

Jiang Shilang said again, "It just so happens that the Ministry of Industry wants to observe the usage of these three things. Why don't you leave it to the minister to arrange for a judgment."

"Yes." The emperor nodded.

Therefore, Zhou Chengyi not only offered a break time for the students in the South Study Room, but also had open classes for half a month.
