Meng Ming knew that he had to promote the university first, so he named the university "Tokyo University Hall", and in the future, it would only be called the University Hall. On the 20th of September, he posted to the ministers of the government hall, the Privy Council, the three envoys, the Hanlin Academy, and the prince of the country; At the same time, he posted to the emperor, the crown prince, the empress, and all the attendants, inviting them to visit the school on September 24, the day of the imperial court's holiday. Fortunately, thanks to Kou Zhun's mediation, he was able to make the trip. Meng Ming invited the county lord Zhao Mingyue to visit in advance and asked her to help lead the queen to visit, and she readily agreed.

On this day of September 24, Meng Ming came to the school early in the morning, made arrangements, hung a banner at the main entrance of the school, which read, "Welcome leaders to visit and guide the work", and planted colorful flags on both sides of the road on the tour route. At nine o'clock in the morning (Chen), everyone came, and today the emperor was not in good health and did not come. At this time, at the front were the queen Liu E, the concubines, and the princess, who were introduced by Zhao Mingyue, and the ministers in the back were led in by Meng Ming.

When they saw this thousand-acre school, they were amazed. This is now the largest university in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is amazing to look at the buildings made of cement, concrete, and bricks, especially the two four-story buildings. The red bricks and red tiles are very different from the current buildings; He was also quite curious about the hardened road under his feet, so he saw Kou Zhun leaning down and touching it with his hand, and asked, "Meng boy, what is this paved with, unlike masonry", Meng Ming told him that it was concrete made of cement, stone and sand. He asked, "How hard is it, how much does it cost?" Meng Ming called a craftsman to bring a big hammer and slammed it on the ground, but there was only a white spot on the ground, and there was no change. The cost of concrete is 300 yuan per side, and the road 8 meters wide and one kilometer long needs 1,200 yuan, and I quoted him 2,500 yuan, excluding labor and other costs, and the net profit is 800 yuan. As soon as Kou Zhun heard this, he hurriedly said: "Really, there are six hundred miles of land from Tokyo to Nanyang, and it takes 750,000 yuan." Meng Ming said to him: "Kou Xianggong, you can let the people participate in the construction, I only provide cement powder, a load of 50 Wen, you can contract the official road of 600 miles to the people in sections, such as six sections, each section of one person contracted, each section at the same time, so that the operation, this official road will be a year fast, and a year and a half will be completed and opened to traffic." Kou Zhun came to his senses and decided to go back and think about it.

Everyone came to the teaching building and looked at the arrangement of the classrooms, especially Guozijian was interested in blackboards and chalk. Then looking at the students' dormitory building, Kou Zhun was interested in the bathroom inside, and Meng Ming demonstrated how to wash his hands and flush the toilet. They didn't know where the water came from, and Meng Ming said that he would take them to see the water room when the time came. Then they came to the classroom living area, visited the bachelor apartment and the family building, Meng Ming's design arrangement surprised them, but at the same time felt the benefits of this design. It is worth promoting later.

Meng Ming took them to the water room again, the location here is the highest position in the school, thirteen meters higher than the four-story dormitory buildings of the students, Meng Ming built two large water rooms, one can hold a hundred square meters of water, Meng Ming used the method of lifting water step by step to lift the water from the well. The pool is cleaned and disinfected regularly. Kou Zhun asked: "Meng boy, the old man really wants to open your brain to see what is inside, all day long's whimsy." Meng Ming said: "This is all the study of the sage, but most of the later generations have forgotten it, only the scriptures and the moral articles are left, and the theory of learning from things that the sage said has not been paid attention to until now." Because many scholars and even some Confucianists believe that there is an immutable truth in the world, and the truth is understood by the "sage" from the heart. When the saints knew the truth, they preached it to the common people. Therefore, the truth in the scriptures can be "pushed to the four seas and passed on to all generations". This view, which experience tells us, is not applicable to the new era that is changing with each passing day. Traditional education does not focus on true objects and knowledge. This may be because the purpose of traditional education is not to seek new knowledge, but to adapt to a fixed social system. The "University" itself says that the purpose of learning from things is to enable people to achieve sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, family unity, and governing the country, so as to pursue the highest state of Confucianism -- peace in the world. Because of this, the true meaning of Gewuzhizhi is buried. Kou Zhun and the ministers all pondered. Meng Ming continued: "What I pursue is to learn from things, apply what I have learned, integrate knowledge with action, and practice with myself, which is also the purpose of my establishment of this university."

After everyone visited, Liu E announced that Meng Ming had come to see him, Meng Ming hurried over, only to hear Liu E ask: "Meng boy, you are full of strange skills and tricks, why don't you study hard." Meng Ming was a little irritable, but I didn't like to listen to what Liu E said, and he couldn't argue. Meng Ming also explained: "Queen Mother, everything I do is in line with the way of a saint, not a trick, as long as it is beneficial to the people and can promote social development and progress, it is the way of a saint." This way is: learning from things, applying what you have learned, integrating knowledge and action, and practicing with yourself." Liu E also felt justified when she heard it. Meng Ming continued: "Niangniang, how about I plan to build a women's school. Liu E felt very fresh when she heard it, and she asked: "If you say this, it will cause great controversy, and the disaster of Wu Cao is not far away, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of the topic to play." Meng Ming knew that the status of women at this time was still very high, no worse than the Tang Dynasty.

We can also see the status of women in the marriage system and property division in the Song Dynasty. According to the regulations at that time, if a family wanted to divide the family, the daughter could also get a part of the property, "In law: the parents are dead, the children share the property, and the woman gets half of the man." And the part of the property that the woman gets has a professional term, called "dowry", which is distributed to them in the name of dowry, and this part of the "dowry" is also protected by law. If the elder brother takes this part of the property for himself, the woman can sue the yamen, and "the virgin is also held by the head and blames herself in the court to compete for the dowry." Not only that, but the laws of the Song Dynasty also protected some of the rights of women to sue for divorce. You can be and leave, you can be Hugh.

Now there are also women who go to private schools, so building a women's school will not cause huge controversy, Liu E as the mother of the country, born in poverty, life is quite bumpy, through their own continuous efforts, read a wide range of books, study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, has long been talented. Therefore, he is the virtuous helper of the true sect, and he is handy and comfortable in handling government affairs. This is she said again: "Meng boy, you can build a women's school, I will send the female officials in the palace to learn literacy and etiquette, and then let the princess, the county lord, and the daughters of the officials of the five grades come to listen to the lecture." But there is a premise that the lecturer must be a woman. "And it was done.

For a time, the reputation of the University Hall of Tokyo was very bad, and some scholars, as well as some children and fallen students (Xiucai) came to visit. Meng Ming divided the students into five subjects; Economics and Justice, Arithmetic, Physics, Biology, Chemistry. Meng Ming referred to arithmetic, physics, biology, and chemistry as new sciences. Among them, the classics and righteousness are easy to teach, just find a few great Confucians; Science requires Meng Ming to personally compile textbooks, and arithmetic has been compiled, which is a textbook from primary school to high school; Gewu is physics, biology, chemistry, using middle and high school textbooks; At that time, my son was in high school, and he stored a large number of applications for college entrance examination questions on his mobile phone. However, Meng Ming personally taught these subjects, and it is estimated that he cannot teach them, so he must train a few talents.

The Jingyi Department can be recruited from the children of officials, nobles, and merchants, and only children under the age of 16 are temporarily recruited, and Meng Ming temporarily does not recruit students from the Jingyi Department; In other sections, he was prepared to recruit the children of peasant households and artisan households from farms, bookstores, textile mills, and ironworks, and gave preferential policies, stipulating that all the children of peasant households and artisan households who were studying in the academy could give each household a subsidy of 20 wen per day, and those with outstanding grades could receive scholarships. Therefore, many children of peasant households and artisan households came to sign up, and soon there were 480 students, and Meng Ming divided some students into 120 students in each subject, and divided each subject into four classes. Meng Ming is going to let them learn the pinyin literacy method first, most of these students are thirteen or fourteen years old, they are conscious of learning, and they learn quickly.

Most scholars are not interested in science subjects other than Jingyi, after all, these are not examined in the imperial examination, but those who are also interested come by hobby. In the arithmetic class, there were a few from Guozijian; Gewu came to a student, is the youngest son of Chen Yaozhi, the current Ministry of Works, named Chen Qinian, he is more famous in Tokyo, all day long studying utensils, good at designing exquisite things, has improved the bow and crossbow, so that its range has increased by two percent, more proud people, Meng Ming handed him a physics textbook for the second year of junior high school, he regarded Meng Ming as a celestial, took the book and studied it. Tokyo Meritorious Gao Family, Gao Wenhuan's younger brother Gao Wenli, was interested in agriculture, so he came here despite his family's opposition, Meng Ming arranged him in the biology department, gave the junior high school version of biology, and was also fascinated.
