The princess grew up in the palace since she was a child, so she naturally knew that what she, the imperial brother Zhu Cijiong, and Zhu Cihuan had learned was different from the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

The teachers who taught were different, they were little-known Confucian scholars, while the crown prince Zhu Cihong was Huang Daozhou, a famous scholar in Jiangnan;

The weight of the classics and historical classics is also very different, the prince Zhu Cihong's involvement in the four books and five classics, Zhu Cheng's science, law, and vertical and horizontal theories, at least a thick stack; And they only have the Book of Poetry, the Analects, the Mean, and some Zhu Cheng Doctrine and other few books.

When she was young, she was naïve and thought that it was a good thing to learn less and be relaxed. When she grew up, she learned that what the prince had learned, she and her royal brothers could not dabble.

After Xiao Yuan mentioned this, the princess came back to her senses, and she wanted to secretly Chen Cang again!

The princess said lightly, "The prince must read a book, so let's select a few Confucian students from the Confucian College of Jiangnan University to teach Confucianism in the palace!" ”

She neither chooses famous teachers, but also limits what Fang He has learned to Confucianism, or the treatment of the prince of the county.

Xiao Yuan actually didn't know what the emperor's course was, her original intention was to find a famous teacher for Fang He, and it would be best to have a cabinet member take the liberty to teach it in person. This is not only a process of apprenticeship, but also a means to win over officials in the outer court. But the princess randomly assigned a teacher to Fang He, and it was clear that she was still suppressing Fang He.

Fang Yuan had long seen the battle between the two daughters, especially the battle around his only son, Fang He, which was getting hotter and hotter. In terms of reasoning, it is the heirs of the princess who should be trained in the imperial discipline. But the princess currently has no son, so she can't learn from Emperor Wanli and throw her only son aside, just drag it out!

These harem matters should have been decided only by the princess, and should not have interfered in the original party. But the more the two got into trouble, the more stiff they became, Fang Yuan couldn't help but come out to play a round, "From today on, all my heirs, whether they are the prince of the king, the king of the county, or the lord of the county, will be treated equally, and they will follow the same course. ”

The enlightenment process of the Ming Dynasty is basically based on the three-character classic, the thousand-character text, reading, and the study of words. If the family is well-off and wants to take the imperial examination, then he will dabble in the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucian classics, and Zhu Cheng Lixue.

The cultivation of this model is pig breeding. In times of peace, of course, there are no drawbacks. But once it comes to war, or when foreign enemies invade, the disadvantages of this kind of pig-raising education are revealed. It would not be surprising if there was another change that had not been seen in 5,000 years, and the ironclad ships traveling on the sea would be regarded as witchcraft, and they would want to use the blood of dogs and the five tigers to destroy the ocean to retreat from the enemy.

Fang Yuan had long had a plan to reform children's primary education. The main thing is to change from pure liberal arts education to both liberal arts and sciences.

Considering the lifespan of ancient people and the people's feelings, the study of basic disciplines starts at the age of six, and at least six years of enrollment is required.

The basic disciplines adopt the education system of crossing, and the study of English is cancelled, and only Chinese studies and modern mathematics are selected.

Chinese culture includes the learning of children's enlightenment, "Three Character Classics", "Thousand Character Texts", and "Three Hundred Tang Poems", as for the "Four Books and Five Classics", it is a selection of schools that take their essence and remove their dross.

The new generation of children's enlightenment and character learning all use simplified Chinese textbooks, and the previous traditional Chinese textbooks are all cancelled. Simplified Chinese characters are conducive to the promotion of literacy and increase the literacy rate of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The so-called traditional Chinese characters are just a tool for the privileged class of literati to occupy cultural resources and override the common people.

Fang Yuan decided to change all the children's textbooks to simplified characters, and traditional characters were included in the scope of higher education in Jiangnan University.

In the future, in the application of characters in the whole society, simplified characters will be gradually promoted and traditional characters will be eliminated. If you want to use traditional Chinese characters such as documents and peace covenants, you must also write a copy of the simplified characters.

Fang Yuan wanted to promote simplified Chinese characters through the coercive means of the government, forcibly open up the wisdom of the people, and break the monopoly and hegemony of the literati class.

Modern mathematics must have the mathematical foundation that has crossed the previous third grade of primary school. Mathematics is the foundation of all engineering disciplines, and it is necessary to promote basic mathematics in order to transform an agrarian empire into an industrialized empire. Without basic mathematics, all other physics and chemistry are all nonsense.

To promote basic mathematics, the first thing is to promote Arabic numerals. For the teaching teacher, because Daming really does not have a few talents who have learned basic mathematics, Fang Yuan still decided to hire mathematical talents from Western countries first, build a team of teachers in Daming, and then gradually replace Western teachers after laying a solid foundation.

After entering Jiangnan University, higher education is carried out according to the division of Jiangnan University. Those who graduated from Jiangnan University can stay in school to continue teaching with excellent grades, and the others will go to various chambers of commerce and departments that need talents to find their own way out.

Of course, as the county kings and county lords of the royal palace, they must learn several times more than ordinary people, and the requirements are more stringent.

Fang Yuan is definitely a supporter of cramming education, and in his opinion, the quality education advocated by the West is to raise pigs and solidify the class. In the West, which preaches quality education all day long, the children of the upper class also practice cramming education, but they only raise the people at the bottom as pigs.

For basic subjects, ordinary people study for six years, and the county kings and county lords of the royal palace must study for nine years. The foundation of Chinese culture must reach the level of junior high school students before the crossing, and modern mathematics must at least reach the level of the sixth grade of primary school before the crossing.

After passing the basic discipline assessment, professional professors can be sent by Jiangnan University to study higher education.

As for higher education, the main content of study is different from that of ordinary students who enter the university hall. Instead of learning the specialized industry expertise, you will enter the relevant training of the ability to rule.

In addition to the Legalist doctrine cultivated by the previous emperors and the art of counterbalancing and contributing, Fang Yuan also added "Political Economy" related to the germination of capitalism. Originally, in terms of economics, it was far from enough to study political economy, but Fang Yuan only studied this, and he still studied political science in high school.

He doesn't know anything about other "Western Economics", "Money", "Capital" or anything, and no one in this era can do it, so he can only choose to give up.

Fang Yuan wanted to promote basic subject education in Daming, but the biggest problem was the lack of books. In fact, in the entire feudal society, what restricts the people's upward path is books. Usually only officials, wealthy merchants, powerful families, and scholarly families would have books for study.

The books printed in this era were very expensive, far from being affordable for ordinary families. If you have to study more than ten subjects, the books alone are unbearable.

Fang Yuan decided that all the books were free, and he spent money to order all kinds of books in simplified Chinese on Taobao, and then distributed them to various government offices and schools for free. After the completion of the course, the books will be collected and distributed to the next batch of students.

This is a lot of expenses, it is estimated that it is at least 500,000 taels of silver per year, but Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and endured it.

Of course, the implementation of this kind of modern education is by no means a one-day effort, and it even takes years or decades to implement it before it can achieve initial results. There will inevitably be a lot of opposition in it, and Fang Yuan's decision is to go up and down, and the county kings and county lords of the regent palace will first be cultivated in accordance with modern education, and make an example to block the mouth of the world.

Fang Yuan announced in public that in the future, both the county king and the county lord would implement modern education, and everyone was confused, even the princess and Xiaoyuan were shocked.

Fang Yuan explained in detail the various disciplines that need to be learned in modern education, but everyone still seems to understand it. Because Fang originally stipulated that all county kings and county lords should all study the same subject, this was very beneficial to Fang He, who was a concubine. At least under Fang Yuan's plan, Fang He was given a fair opportunity to show his ability. The previous education was completely based on the origin, which was not fair at all.

Xiao Yuan was the first to stand up in support, "Just according to Childe's words!" ”

Fang Yuan looked at the princess and asked, "Princess, what do you say?!" ”

The princess was stunned, Fang Yuan's education plan obviously downplayed the lineage of the concubine, but focused on real talent and talent, which was very unfavorable to her as the regent princess.

But in the past two years, she has long known each other's original nature. Fang Yuan did this, not just because of the battle in the harem, but to give the students all over the world a chance to compete fairly.

People always do not suffer from inequality, and fair competition is the cornerstone of maintaining the stability and long-term stability of the world.

As the princess regent, even though she suffered a big loss, in front of the interests of the people of the world, her personal gains and losses were insignificant, so she chose to support Fang Yuan's education reform plan, "Since the concubine has decided, let's do it!" ”

Fang Yuan didn't expect her to respond so remarkably, and he sincerely admired and liked her in general and considering the overall situation, and nodded happily at the princess.

It's all in plain sight!
