Chapter 720: The Folk Girl Dongzhu
"Principal Cao, this is Kim Dongzhu, who has some talent in arithmetic, so I'll leave it to you, you must teach it well."
In the principal's room of Jinling Girls' School, Zhu Cihong handed over Donggu Gege, oh, it's not Gege now, but the principal of the girls' school who handed over the folk girl Jin Dongzhu.
Dong Gege is the princess of Heshuo in the Qing Dynasty, this identity is nothing now, but once the Ming and Qing dynasties start a war in the future, it will be a big trouble. Therefore, Emperor Zhu used a plan to adjust the package and announced to the public that Donggu Gege would stay in the Laoshan Palace. At the same time, she took the real Donggu to Nanjing and let her study at Jinling Girls' School in the name of Jin Dongzhu, a folk girl.
When she reaches the age of 16, she will be drafted into the palace and become Zhu Cihong's chosen attendant, which is the same as Wu Sanmei, Zheng Chagu, Ning Xiangyu, Fei Zhen'e and other four people in the starting position of Emperor Zhu's harem.
And Zhu Cihong will not let Dongzhu ascend to the sky in one step, but will let her be promoted one level at a time, one level a year, and promoted to the position of the imperial concubine in eight years.
At the same time, Dongguo, who "lived" in the old mountain palace, would "die of illness" before entering the palace.
In this way, there is no love in the world. Dongguo, only the imperial concubine Jin Dongzhu, who was born as a people's daughter, has nothing to do with Jin Dongzhu in the war and conflict between the Ming and Qing dynasties......
"Don't worry, the old minister will teach Miss Jin well." Principal Cao is Principal Cao Huachun, and he doesn't know that Kim Dong-joo is Donggu Gege.
But why did a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl ask the emperor to personally send Jinling Girls' School? This Jinling Girls' School is not just a girl who can go to it! The girls who study here are either the princesses and county lords of the Zhu family, or the daughters of the princess generals! Zhu Cihong's eldest daughter Zhu Tianfeng and younger sister Zhu Yuyu are now studying here. Zhu Tianfeng went to the first grade of primary school, and Princess Zhaoren Zhu Yuyu was relatively old (11 years old) and had already studied, so she was studying a preparatory department, tutoring "Primary School Mathematics" and "Primary School French", and went directly to the fifth grade after making up.
And this Kim Dong-joo should also be like Princess Zhaoin, study a preparatory department, and then go directly to the fifth grade. In this way, after three years, I will be able to graduate from elementary school and almost be ready to enter the palace......
Cao Huachun's old face was full of kind smiles, and he looked at Jin Dongzhu, a folk girl sitting next to Emperor Zhu, with a smile.
He has also gone up now, calling himself an "old minister" instead of an "old slave", this is because he is not an internal servant now, but a hero who has overcome difficulties, and he is the Marquis of Tianjin!
He was able to become a marquis because there were many soldiers of the Cao family who followed him to escort him south. In Emperor Zhu's initial basic plate, there was a share of Cao Huachun. Now many of the children of the Cao family have grown up to be the backbone of the new army or the pillars of the imperial court, and Cao Huachun himself enjoyed happiness in the city of Nanjing, and it was not until Zhu Cihong was preparing to build Guiyang Primary School that he was invited out to serve as the principal of the girls' school.
The teachers in the girls' school were all eunuchs, and the first to receive Western-style teaching from Zhu Cihong were his guards and eunuchs. Some of these eunuchs were really able to learn, and the standard was not very high, but they were enough to take on the work of elementary school teachers.
Now Emperor Zhu cultivated new-style talents with two legs, and the children of nobles went to primary school, middle school, and university (Beijing Xuetang), and became talents step by step.
The common people studied "Zi On Gewu" and "New Arithmetic" by themselves, and then went to take the Taixue exam.
This arrangement is not discriminatory against civilians, but rather that educational resources are so limited that they can only give priority to the successors of the ruling group. At the same time, we will select talented people with strong self-study ability from among the people of the whole country by means of examinations, and then let them use the method of self-study to become self-taught.
The probability of self-taught is of course low, but if it does, it must be a high-IQ genius, enough to cope with the scientific explorations of the 17th century.
Moreover, the large population of Chinese also means that there are many geniuses, and through self-study exams, you should be able to find a lot.
Oh, today Emperor Zhu discovered a little genius, which is Jin Dongzhu. She is smarter than Wu Sanmei, Zheng Chagu, Ning Xiangyu, and Fei Zhen'e. These four women are not stupid, among them, Zheng Chagu can also be called Bingxue smart, and she does very well in math (it is estimated that Zheng Zhilong is inherited), Wu Sanmei is a little worse, she doesn't like to study much, but she is also a very smart woman, but the two of them are still not as good as Dongzhu.
Dongzhu's self-study of "Elementary School Arithmetic" is excellent! And the comprehension ability is very strong, and can understand part of the content of the "Sub-Treatise on Gewu".
Most of this brain is inherited from Dorgon, right?
After arranging Jin Dongzhu's enrollment, Emperor Zhu returned to the palace and first went to the queen's Kunning Palace to visit Wu Sanmei, who was doing confinement.
Wu Sanmei is once again happy with her daughter, she is really the life of a daughter!
But it doesn't matter, the third sister is still young, and she can continue to fight after resting for a while...... However, Emperor Zhu still cares about her, because just when Wu Sanmei was about to give birth, Zheng Chagu was also pregnant again!
If Zheng Chagu's belly fights for anger and gives Zhu Cihong another son, then Wu Sanmei's status in the harem will be shaky. Emperor Zhu was anxious for his eldest wife, so during this time, he put on a posture of supporting Wu Sanmei.
When he arrived at Kunning Palace, he heard a giggling sound coming from inside, and he hurriedly quickened his pace to the door of the dormitory, and then pushed the door in. The queen's dormitory is large, but it is very warm due to the heating sent by the earth dragon.
As soon as Emperor Zhu entered the door, he saw Wu Sanmei, a silly Bai Tian, sitting on the couch in her pajamas, with two little girls, one big and one young, playing with children!
There is no sense of crisis that I can't give birth to a son!
The older girl is Tianfeng, the eldest daughter of Emperor Zhu, who is very big, and her 6-year-old child is about the same height as other people's seven or eight-year-old children at first glance. Needless to say, she must be a tall girl in the future. As for the appearance and personality, he is more with his mother, and he is also a little silly and sweet. When he saw Emperor Zhu coming in, he jumped off the bed, jumped forward to salute, and handed an exam paper to Emperor Zhu with a smile.
"Daddy, my daughter scored 10 points in arithmetic."
10 points? What is the total score?
Emperor Zhu took the exam paper and looked at it, there were 10 questions on it, simple addition and subtraction, and the answers were all correct, that is, a full score.
"Good, good, good test!" Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction, and touched the little silly Bai Tian's head, "You have to continue to work hard, it's only the first year, and it's still too early to be admitted to college!" ”
Wu Sanmei listened to Emperor Zhu's words, but she smiled: "Emperor, our children still need to take the exam to go to college?" ”
"Of course you have to take the test!" Zhu Cihong took his daughter's hand, walked to the edge of the bed, sat down, and then looked at the baby in the swaddling powder, "The children of the royal family don't need to take the test, so do the children of the prince's house want to take the test?" Do the children of the family of hundreds of officials have to take the test? If you don't take the test, then what's the need to work hard? How will you become a talent in the future? We are the children of the northerners, and the world will not be southerners in the future? ”
This can't be said publicly, but in front of Wu Sanmei, Emperor Zhu has no scruples.
He paused, and then said: "The noble children can be given preferential treatment in the exam, such as adding 10 to 20 points...... But after all, you have to sit in the same examination room with the Jiangnan scholars, otherwise the talents among the noble children will not be able to come out. ”
And the purpose of Emperor Zhu's elite education is, of course, to maintain the balance between the northerners and the southerners. The best way to maintain a balance is to design an unfair education and examination system, starting with talent development...... To be completely fair, the number of northerners and nobles was so small, and from the point of view of probability, it was impossible for them to compete with the southern gentry.
"But Tianfeng is a girl!" Wu Sanmei pouted, looking like she didn't like to read.
Emperor Zhu just smiled and shook his head: "The women of the noble family want to study even more, and they will raise offspring for the noble clan of the Ming Dynasty in the future." The noble clan of the past is so decaying, first, they are born rich and noble, and they don't need to work hard; The second is that he is poor in upbringing, and he only knows how to spoil and spoil his children, and he does not know how to supervise his children to cultivate both civil and military affairs. However, in two or three generations, it will decay, which is the bane of the change of Tumubao, and the ultimate reason why my dynasty has turned from prosperity to decline! ”
