The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"The new emperor will attend court in the Xiyuan Elephant Room?"

Liu Jian's eyes were as wide as eggs, his blood was rising, and his breath was coming from his nose rapidly.

Jiang Mian felt incredible, how could there be such a ridiculous emperor in the world?

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were quite calm. They had experienced Zhu Houzhao's power when they were still princes.

He is undoubtedly the prince.

The little eunuch was so frightened that he trembled all over: "The new emperor said that if there are any omissions, they will be sent to the elephant room for review."

Liu Jian and Jiang Mian knew that something was wrong and hurried to the elephant room in Xiyuan.

In front of Xiyuan Gate, I saw the ceremonial guard of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi, and I had a backbone in my heart.

In the elephant room,

Yan Chengjin stood aside and said in a deep voice: "When I came, the new emperor had already arranged the elephant room properly, and it had nothing to do with me."

Zhu Houzhao cursed in his heart, Lao Gao, this spineless guy.

"The Fengtian Palace is too boring, and the ministers always want to leave the palace after sitting for a long time, so they set up the Elephant Room in Xiyuan to read the music."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi bit his cheek and said angrily: "Do you think there are not enough people to stop the rebellion?"

"Kneel down!"

Zhu Houzhao knelt on the red carpet, and Xiao Jing presented the dragon-beating whip that had not been used for a long time.

"As soon as you came to the throne, there were rebellions in three places in the world! I warn you that your lust will cause disaster, and you will play for pleasure. The more you want, the more damage you will do. It will not only hinder political affairs, but also disturb the lives of the people.

But what about you! Knowing these principles clearly and committing the crime knowingly is a more heinous crime than one who does not know! "

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi waved his whip vigorously, and Zhu Houzhao howled like a pig but did not admit his mistake.

When Liu Jian and others saw this scene, they lost a lot of their anger.

"Please stop fighting, Your Majesty."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi turned around and said coldly: "Young masters, there is no need to plead for mercy on behalf of the wicked son."

Li Dongyang knew that the Emperor had misunderstood.

"We are not interceding on behalf of the new emperor, but we are afraid that the new emperor will refuse to go to court due to physical impairment."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi put down the whip, but Master Li understood this evil boy.

Yan Chengjin whispered to the living officer next to him: "Don't write my name on it."

The living officer quickly recorded it beside him, and this episode was written into the annals of history, completely destroying the reputation.

At this time, Wang Qiong walked into the elephant room and pretended not to see Zhu Houzhao kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, thirty thousand taels of silver have been raised from the public."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked calm. Thirty thousand taels of silver was not much, but he was rich enough to recruit private school teachers.

The private school teacher is paid three to five taels of silver a month.

There are only more than sixty places in the capital, prefectures, counties and other places. One thousand taels of silver is enough, and there are more than 20,000 taels left.

Including Nanzhili, Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture and other places, the total amount is millions of taels of silver.

Wang Qiong came to meet the Holy Spirit just to ask how to arrange this huge amount of money.

Jiang Mian said: "Now that we have raised troops in two places, we can use them as military pay."

"The money raised was intended to be used for private schools. If it is used as military pay, the people will know that they will be resentful.

And this amount of money may not be enough to build Ming Dynasty's private schools and print and distribute books.

I thought it would be better to keep it in the treasury first. "

Yan Chengjin disagreed. The education system of the Ming Dynasty was not perfect and there were many areas that needed to be repaired.

Liu Jian and others were slightly surprised and looked at Yan Chengjin.

This son also plans to build a private school and publish books?

Jiang Mian said: "What's the use of building so many private schools? If you want to study, you can study at home."

"Not only do we need to build a private school, but I also need to ask for help from His Majesty, and the Ministry of Rites will make a unified handout and distribute it to the world, and he will enter the school according to his age." Yan Chengjin said.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Why bother?"

Meng Xue only taught three hundred thousand students, and wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty hired teachers to teach one-on-one at their homes.

Even private schools do not have grade systems.

Young children who have passed elementary school and weak scholars mix together to listen to the teacher's lectures.

Even if a young child doesn't understand, what Mr. Hui Hui Hui talks about is the Four Books and Five Classics. Even if he is still in the same class when he is a few years older, he will understand.

In the Imperial College, new graduates can study in the three halls of Zhengyi, Chongzhi and Guangye.

After accumulating enough credits, you can upgrade to the second hall of Cultivation and Sincerity. This is the Ming Dynasty's division.

The eyes of Li Dongyang and others also fell on Yan Chengjin.

They have been studying with their teachers since they were young, and those who are more advanced come first, and they don't pay much attention to their age.

Naturally, Yan Chengjin cannot say that it is due to the different intelligence of each age: “Reading requires understanding and insight, and the articles written can make a difference.

Young children are not as knowledgeable as the weak scholars, and the weak scholars are not as good as the old Confucian students, so they need to be taught according to their aptitude. "

Since we start from education, we must be thorough in order to rectify the problem.

Zhu Houzhao was beaten so hard that his whole body ached with burning pain, "Yes, yes, begging."

…

The Ministry of Etiquette is on duty.

Jin Gui, the Minister of Rites, looked at the new emperor's decree and asked the Ministry of Rites to customize lesson plans for Tianxia Private School and include arithmetic.

The chief registrar and the doctors were sitting in the duty room, discussing the new emperor's decrees.

"The Mongolian School only teaches the Three-Character Classic, the Hundred Family Surnames and the Thousand-Character Classic."

"Now it has to be included in arithmetic."

Jin Gui stroked his beard. He and Jiang Mian had discussed it privately. This was the new emperor's order.

"What benefit does this move have to the new emperor's achievement of great prosperity? It only increases expenses and the tasks of the Ministry of Rites!"

He heard that the new emperor swore an oath in front of the Supreme Emperor that national taxes and population would be doubled.

"It must be Yan Chengjin who deceived the new emperor, but now that the executive order has been issued, we can only implement the executive order first."

Hanlin spread the news, and all the officials did not believe that this decree would bring any changes to the world.

It's just a few more scholars.

The next day, morning.

The retired emperor Hongzhi sat on the throne, and Zhu Houzhao stood in front of Liu Jian, full of energy, and had no sequelae after being beaten.

Go to the cabinet to discuss matters.

Yan Chengjin stepped forward: "I beg the new emperor to bring all private schools under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites."

The Ministry of Rites only governs the Imperial College.

Private schools and colleges in the world are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, the education system of the Ming Dynasty is basically zero, and the political achievements are doubled compared with the Hongzhi Dynasty. This is one of the political achievements.

Lao Gao will not speak nonsense, and Zhu Houzhao said indifferently: "Allow me."

"Wait a minute!"

Jin Gui, the Minister of Rites, stood up: "Colleges and private schools are run by local gentry and officials, why should the court control them?"

All officials turned their heads.

The Ministry of Rites only governs the Imperial College because the students of the Imperial College can serve as officials in the court.

But students of private schools and colleges may not even pass the provincial examination.

"This brings us to my second step, which is to establish a teaching register under the Ministry of Rites.

Teachers who are excellent in teaching can receive a salary from the court, so that people will be willing to be teachers."

Scholars who fail the imperial examinations often work as accountants and merchants.

Teaching in a private school run by the people will starve to death, so few scholars are willing to be teachers.

Establishing a teaching register, becoming a public official, and receiving a salary like a county magistrate in the government office, will attract scholars.

The private school system and education can be truly promoted throughout the country.

Liu Jian said: "If a new teaching register is established, there will be so many teachers in the world, and the court will have to spend a huge amount of money."

Private schools are hired by the people themselves.

After being enrolled in the teaching register, the court will pay silver every month. How much silver will it cost?

The minister nodded.

Except for the Imperial College, I have never heard of any court that would manage private schools and academies and pay silver from the court.

Yan Chengjin is getting more and more excessive.

Zhu Houzhao snorted: "Old Gao is right, why don't you agree?"

The retired emperor Hongzhi glanced around and looked at the hall and said: "Let's discuss this matter later. I'm leaving the court."
