"Jin Shan, you have taken good care of Guozijian." After turning the entire country around, Yun Xi said to Jin Sun in the same way as when he was talking about Wutang.

"But the minister was disrespectful." Jin Shan smiled and said a different answer from Yu Zhouwen. After all, he used to be a member of the Chinese Scholars, and his relationship with the emperor was closer, and he could speak more easily.

"If it's your work, what is there to do?" Yun Xi also smiled.

Jin Shan also smiled and said a few words, saw the three children following behind him, and said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, although it is already the beginning of February, it is the time of the cold spring, and the weather is still relatively cold, so it is better for Your Majesty and the three highnesses to sit down and talk in the public room." ”

"They're all thick, so you don't have to worry about it." Yun Xi glanced back at the three children: "And since I was five years old, I have asked people to enter the palace to teach them martial arts, it has been more than four years for Wen Yao, and more than two years for Wen Yuan and Wen Qi, which can withstand the wind and cold." ”

"Not to mention the three of them. Jin Shan, tell me the truth, what do you think of the students of Guozijian about the three new courses of music, archery, and royalty this year? ”

"Your Majesty," Jin Shan said thoughtfully, "except for the vocal lessons, there is no objection to the other two courses; Although some students objected to the vocal music class, no one dared to speak after talking about the six arts of a gentleman mentioned by Confucius. ”

However, there are naturally many people who complain privately about these three courses. Most people say that there are a lot of courses in the original, and these three new courses have been added, and it will take another year or two to graduate from Guozijian. ”

"Hehe, what they want is to delay them as officials." Yun Xi sneered.

Kim Sun didn't answer. Yun Xi didn't need him to answer, and continued: "Although Guozijian is indeed a place to train officials for the country, it is not necessary to be an official as long as you enter Guozijian. ”

"Jin Shan, I remember that in the past, Emperor Taizu set a charter, and the school system of Guozijian was four years. But how many inmates can graduate in four years today? ”

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness. At the beginning, the first emperor set the regulations and had some strict requirements for prisoners, but at that time, the imperial court was eager to recruit talents, and many prisoners were appointed to official positions before they graduated, and even just entered the rate hall to study, so the problem was not obvious. Since the end of the Hongwu period, most of the inmates must complete their studies in accordance with the regulations before they can be ordained, and this problem has become prominent. Kim Sun explained.

"Then Jin Qing thinks that the school system should be set for several years?" Yun Xi saw that Jin Shan was about to speak, and added: "Jin Shan, you have to pay attention, you name this year system, from now on, all the prisoners of the Guozijian will study according to this period, and those who cannot graduate on time will be given another year of grace, and if they can't graduate, they will be expelled from the Guozijian." ”

Hearing Yun Hee's words, Jin Shan suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility. His words have no effect on himself, and the emperor will not go around telling people that the school system is formulated according to his own suggestions, and he will not scold his own head when the students can't finish their studies, but after all, this is related to the future of most students, and if they can't graduate, he will be uneasy.

It can be said that the length of study is too long. First, he deceived His Majesty and betrayed His Majesty's trust in him, he was also uneasy, and second, he was really a fool to be the emperor? Even if you can't see it now, you will understand everything if you come to Guozijian a few more times in the future.

After thinking about it for a while, Jin Shan said: "The minister thinks that now there are three more courses of music, archery, and royalty, and the learning system should be set at seven years. ”

"Well, I will go back and let Chen Ji draw up the decree, starting from the students who have only been promoted to the Monastery Hall and the Sincerity Hall this year, the total academic system will be set at seven years, if you can't graduate in seven years, you can have another grace period, and if you can't graduate, you will be expelled from the National Prison!"

"You should also do some preparation here. There will inevitably be student dissatisfaction with the change of academic system. You must be tough and expel all students who dare to make trouble! Yun Xi said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Jin Shan could only agree, and said, "Your Majesty, is it a little inappropriate to start with the students who have been promoted to the Monastery Hall and the Sincerity Hall this year?" This year is only the first year of reform, whether it is slightly more lenient for students. ”

"It's okay to be loose. However, we are only lenient for students who have enrolled in the past, and this year's enrollment is strictly in accordance with the new regulations set by me. Former students are entitled to an additional year of study under the new statute. ”

"The minister knows." Kim Sun agreed again.

Having said this, Yun Xi glanced sideways at the students who were in class, and some of them were looking sideways at him, and hurriedly turned their heads back at this time.

"The students of Guozijian, what do they do on weekdays besides studying?" Yun Xi asked again.

"On the days off, students sometimes meet to go to the city for a walk, find a place to sit down and taste the snacks of the capital, and chat for a while; Sometimes I go looking for flowers and willows. The minister also ordered a ban on this several times, but it had little effect, and Hugh Mu Japan allowed them to be released from prison, and the Guozijian could not monitor them, and there was no order in the "Da Ming Law" prohibiting the prisoners from looking for flowers and willows, so they could only be allowed to go in the end. ”

"However, most of the students still study hard and study in the classroom even on their days off."

"That's not what I'm asking," Yun Xi explained, "I'm asking about what they do besides studying after class at the National Prison Middle School?" What are your personal hobbies? ”

"In addition, can anyone practice the three courses of music, archery, and royalty after class?"

'Personal hobby?' Jin Shan had never heard of this word, and pondered for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, Guozijian is a place to train officials for the imperial court, and students naturally have to study hard and strive to graduate as soon as possible; As for the three courses of music, archery, and royalty, because these three courses were newly established, many students could not master them only by teaching in class, and many of them still studied after class. ”

"However, horses are precious, and the Ministry of War has only allocated enough horses for the national superintendent to attend classes, and if students want to study after class, they must sign up in advance and queue up. Your Majesty, can you allocate more horses to the Guozijian? ”

"Allocating horses is a trivial matter, Jin Qing, don't you think that the students of Guozijian have too little activity outside the classroom every day?" Yun Xi said.

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?"

"No matter what you do, even if you are an official, your body is very important. To do the inspection of the imperial history, you need to run at both ends of the capital and the supervision place, and you can't always sit in the yamen, how can you support it without a good body? ”

"This is especially true for civilian military attachés. Although civilian military attachés do not need to lead troops to fight, they still have to follow the army and take charge of military affairs. We can't let them all go to war with the army in a car or a sedan chair. How can you support yourself without a good body? ”

"As for other official positions, although they are not like these two errands, Jin Shan, you have also been an official for many years, and you should know that people who are not in good health are not as good as people who are in good health."

Kim Sun nodded. He had heard of this concept when he was a scholar by Yun Xi's side, and he agreed with it after some research. It is not easy to be an official, although it is mental work, not physical work, but if the body is not good, the mental head is not good, and the mental head is not good, and it is not easy to do a good job.

"So I think they should be more active outside of the classroom, not just reviewing their homework." Yun Xi said.

"Your Majesty, the establishment of two classes, archery and royalty, will enable the prisoners to be more active." Kim Sun said.

"Not enough, not enough!" Yun Xi said: "Riding a horse and archery has too little activity for the body. Let them run. ”

"Kim Sun, I'll give you another errand." Yun Xi didn't sell the lawsuit anymore, and said directly: "I can't make an order in this matter, so it's up to you to handle it." I want to promote Keju in the country. ”

Yun Xi said such a large paragraph above, and the purpose was also to promote Keju. As a person with the idea of later generations, of course, I think that physical activity is very important, not only for physical exercise, but also for influencing the social atmosphere in this era. It is not enough to promote this sport in Jiangwutang, and it is impeached by civil officials in the Guozi Prison. Therefore, he can't promote it openly and personally, nor can he include this sport in the examination subjects, and can only see and promote it through Jin Shan, who is in charge of the country.

This may not be of much use in the short term, but Yun Xi will slowly let the prisoners know the emperor's inclination by appointing more graduates of the Guozi Prison who used to play football, so as to achieve his own goals. This process will not be short, but as Xi Yao said, he is still young and there is no need to worry.

"Obey." Jin Shan didn't say anything more, and bowed down to agree.

After that, Yoon-hee and Kim Sun went to his public house together and baked a fire to warm his exposed hands. He looked at the time and saw that it was not too early, and said to Jin Shan: "I have one last thing to tell you when I come to the country this time." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I remember that Aiqing once wrote a book, saying that there are many errands in the country now, but there are still only 1 priest, 1 secretary, 1 supervisor, 5 doctors of the Five Classics, 15 assistant teachers in the six halls, 10 Xuezheng, 1 scholar of the Guozijian, 1 canon, and 1 classic, a total of 42 people. There are not enough officials, so please increase the number of officials in the country. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Since the establishment of the industry five years ago, the minister has reported this matter to His Majesty, but His Majesty has not approved it. ”

"Now I'm going to get it back." Yun Xi said: "Since there are not enough officials in the Guozi Prison, why don't the prisoners arrange the matters involving the students themselves? ”

"Let the students make their own arrangements?" Kim Sun said in surprise.

"All the students of Guozijian will become officials in the future. Since you are going to be an official in the future, why don't you let them try it in advance when Guozijian is in school? It's like I let the students of the martial arts hall first intern in the guard house before they can graduate. ”

"My plan is to set up a student management committee, divided into two levels, the school and the department, which will be signed up by the students who are willing to participate, and with the approval of you or the students of each department, to manage some of the affairs related to the inmates themselves. I'm thinking of leaving these things to the Student Management Council. ……”

However, although the matter was handed over, the officials of the Guozi Prison still had to supervise and see how well they were doing their errands. Unqualified members of the Student Management Council will be replaced. ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Yunxi's idea is very good, but in actual operation, there will definitely be problems.

Yun Xi stopped what he was about to say. "I also know that there will be problems with rash implementation, but since they are going to be officials in the future, it is better to let them have some experience in advance when they are in the Guozijian."

Jin Shan said a few more words to Yun Xi, and seeing that he insisted on doing so, he could only agree. Ke also asked Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, the minister requests Your Majesty, how to set up the student management council, what the constitution is, the minister and the colleagues of the Guozi Prison will discuss and then report to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will implement it after approval." Don't set it up hastily. ”

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Yun Xi smiled and said, "It's not good to disappoint me. ”

"The minister will not disappoint His Majesty." Jin Shan said in a firm tone.

"Okay," Yun Xi said another good word. No matter how well Jin Shan does in the end, as long as it is not too bad, he will reward Jin Shan. Daming needs this kind of officials who have the courage to do things, not people who only follow the rules and pass the buck when encountering things.

Yun Xi then asked some details, such as whether the dormitory and classrooms were warm, and he personally entered several student dormitories to check the temperature in the house and the hygiene in the dormitory.

After saying all these things, Yun Xi smiled at Jin Shan and said, "Since Jin Qing has supervised the country well, I will definitely reward him." ”

"I told the prince that the prince of the country would sacrifice wine and gold and add the rank of Zhongshun doctor, and give him a horse of silk and fifty taels of gold. In addition, I also gave Aiqing a set of tableware produced in Jingdezhen and a pound of peanuts. ”

Yun Xi pulled him up and didn't let him salute, and said with a smile: "I know that Aiqing is very interested in the food that Fang Mingqian brought back from the Hanzhou Continent, so I gave Aiqing a pound of peanuts to taste, and a set of tableware is better for eating." When these crops are produced this year, I will give some more to Aiqing. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jin Shan was about to kneel down and said.

"Aiqing doesn't have to kneel, this is in your public house, and there are no outsiders now, so you don't have to kneel around so much." Yun Xi grabbed him again.

After that, Yun Xi had nothing to order, and he was leaving the country with his three children. Jin Shan led some officials to send His Majesty out of the country.

Before getting into the carriage, Yun Xi whispered to him: "The matter of the school system will be discussed after I issue my will, although you need to prepare in advance, you don't have to prepare too much. ”

"What you need to focus on is the promotion of Kemari and the establishment of a student management association. I give you a month, and these two things come up with a charter for me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Kim Sun agreed.

Yun Xi nodded, carried the three children into the carriage in turn, and then sat on it himself and left the Guozijian.

When Yun Xi's car disappeared in front of their eyes, the priest behind him came up and asked, "Lord Sacrificial Wine, what is Your Majesty's order to inspect the Guozijian this time?" Yoon-hee only let Kim Seon follow him alone, and the others didn't know what they were talking about.

Jin Shan sighed and said, "There have been a lot of changes. Then he turned his head to all the officials and said, "I will come to the official house tomorrow morning and at the beginning of the morning, and I have something to discuss with you." ”
