When the students of the normal school received the beautifully printed textbooks, they were first amazed by the quality of the printing, and then they were overwhelmed by the contents of the textbooks.

Students of the Chinese language department found the first lesson completely incomprehensible, and each Chinese character had some strange symbols on it, and some people recognized that some resembled the Latin alphabet in the missionary book.

And I asked the school teacher to know that this is the pinyin method formulated by the emperor himself, as long as you remember these pinyin, you can recognize the words under pinyin.

Therefore, the students of the Chinese liberal arts department began to study on their own in the strange sound of "Bo Po Touch". At this time, the arithmetic students were looking at the symbols of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in a daze.

Yes, Zhu Youxiao felt that the trouble of reading and writing Chinese characters was also a reason for restricting the popularization of ancient cultural knowledge, so he copied the Hanyu Pinyin he learned when he was a child here. Fortunately, at this time, Jingshi dialect is one of the standard languages (the other is Fengyang dialect, but after becoming an ancestor, Beijing dialect is basically used as the official dialect), and the difference from later generations is not too big.

Hanyu Pinyin can make it easier for students to grasp the pronunciation of Chinese characters, and now there are also phonetic methods, such as the reverse tangential phonetic method, but with the development of the times, the change of phonetics is becoming more and more troublesome and difficult to understand, and the Chinese Pinyin method is actually the same, and the phonetics may no longer be suitable with the times, but at least it is suitable now.

Zhu Youxiao also thought about promoting the Jingshi dialect throughout the country in the future, so that Hanyu Pinyin could always work. The reason why he attaches so much importance to the issue of pronunciation is because Confucianism has always used the method of teaching in private schools, and if the teacher misreads it, the student will also read it wrongly. Jokes like "Yu Yu Yu Wen Zai" pronounced "Du Du Ping Zhang I" will no longer appear with the popularity of pinyin.

As for the introduction of arithmetic symbols in arithmetic, it is because they are easy to understand and convenient. In fact, it has long been used in banks, but it has not yet been promoted by the people, and Zhu Youxiao wants to promote it to the whole country through normal schools.

Zhu Youxiao's school system of normal school was originally planned to be three years, but Xu Guangqi and others felt that one year was enough, as long as they learned pinyin, it was actually very simple, and mathematical symbols could be adapted in a short time.

Since the normal school system was changed to one year, the construction of a new school was urgent. After consulting with the ministers, it was decided to first promote the new school in the north and south of the country. On the one hand, there are political reasons, and on the other hand, the north and south are relatively wealthy, especially the south is relatively wealthy.

For example, the first primary school hall of Beijing Normal School, which is now being built by the Royal Architectural Team, is located near the Beijing Normal University Hall, which is designed to accommodate 500 students, a total of ten classes, and is ready to enroll children from all classes of families in Beijing.

In the eight prefectures and two prefectures of Beizhili, a total of 50 new-style primary schools were planned to be built in the initial stage, all of which were selected in densely populated places, and more schools would be considered in the later stage, but Zhu Youxiao estimated that according to the annual enrollment number of the normal school, I am afraid that it will not be possible until much later.

The textbooks of the students of the civil servants' school are different from the textbooks of the normal students, and the textbooks of their different subjects are also different, and the names are strange, such as "Administrative Science", "Statistics", and "Public Health".

The research institute with the smallest number of students is the place where Zhu Youxiao has high hopes. Most of the professors in the Xiangguang Normal School were Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy, while most of the professors in the Officials School were officials of the household department and minor officials of the Ministry of Officials. The professors of the research institute are Shangshu like Xu Guangqi, Langzhong like Sun Yuanhua, and even emperors like Zhu Youxiao.

Yes, that's right, Zhu Youxiao is the principal of Jingshi University Hall, which is a matter of course. But he is not satisfied with this, he is still a professor in the graduate school, but he is not a specific professor of any subject, he thinks that as a high school master, he can be qualified to be a professor in all subjects of the graduate school. Of course, this was his idea, and Xu Guangqi, who was the vice president of Beijing Normal University, thought that there was no way to limit which subject the emperor was a professor of.

Textbooks have been distributed to students, but the hall of Beijing Normal University has not officially opened yet, because it is about to celebrate the Spring Festival. Most of the students are far away from home, so they spend the Spring Festival in the hall of Beijing Normal University.

These students ate what might be better food than at home, they were able to discuss new knowledge in textbooks in groups, and the library of Jingshi University was open every day and provided borrowing services, so their Spring Festival was more fulfilling than it might be at home, except for a slight sense of homesickness.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the third year of the Apocalypse, the Beijing Normal University Hall officially opened. On this morning, it was very cold, but there was no rain or snow. In the academic lecture hall of Beijing Normal University, the opening ceremony of Beijing Normal University Hall was held.

At the front of the lecture hall is a five-foot-high platform, in the middle of which is a table with a large brass speaker on top of the table, which can amplify sound, and the roof of the entire lecture hall is circular, which also has the effect of focusing sound.

There is a chair behind the desk for the speaker. Behind this chair is a row of chairs, on which the cabinet ministers and the six shoshu are now seated, and later the professors of various departments are seated.

When the clock in the lecture hall reached eight o'clock, Xu Guangqi walked to the table, picked up the copper horn and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Xu Guangqi, the vice president of the Daming Jingshi University Hall. First of all, I would like to tell you that there is no kneeling in the hall of Kyoto University. If a professor speaks well, he can only applaud to welcome and appreciate. ”

After that, he demonstrated the method of applauding. Then he said, "Now please welcome the President of the Jingshi University Hall, our esteemed Emperor His Majesty to give you a lecture. After speaking, he put down the horn and began to applaud, and the students below also clapped their hands together, and suddenly the lecture hall resounded with long-lasting applause.

Zhu Youxiao walked out of a door next to him, waving his hands as he walked, and some students in front of him subconsciously wanted to kneel on the ground, but were pulled by the quick-eyed instructor.

Zhu Youxiao finally walked to the table, he pressed his hands downward, the officials on the stage stopped clapping, and the students below also understood the meaning, and the applause stopped.

Zhu Youxiao picked up the loudspeaker and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the principal of the Beijing Normal University Hall and the emperor of the Ming Empire. But here, first of all, the president of the Kyoshi University Hall. ”

The students clapped their hands frantically again, but Zhu Youxiao did not stop them, and looked at the students with a smile. He could understand the excitement of the students. The imperial examination was presided over by the emperor himself, so the scholars could call themselves protégés of the Son of Heaven. And now the principal of Jingshi University Hall is today's son, so everyone is a veritable protégé of the Son of Heaven.

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
