Chapter 222: Lecture

There is no need to go to court today, after eating, Zhu Ao began to order people to choose his own girl group members, the requirements are still very demanding, not only to have a good image and good temperament, but also to be able to sing and dance, the flexibility of the body must be very good, and skills such as one-word horses and big bends must not be missing.

This task was handed over to the celebrant under the command of Wynne, after all, such a thing was done by such ministers, they must be unwilling by the boss, thinking that it was an insult to their identity, and they might not be able to do it well, and if they found a good one, they might be put into their own room first. It will definitely provoke the impeachment of those upright imperial historians, these people are also for their own good, but they just don't understand their own operations, and Zhu Ao really has no way to take them for a while. Therefore, this matter cannot be handed over to the ministers, and if you can't steal the fox, you will cause a commotion.

After Huaien received Zhu Ao's will, his mind also turned several times, he has followed the prince since he was a child, and he feels that this prince is also a bad person, a king, and there are only a few concubines, it is really rare, in terms of the number of women, it can be said that it is far worse than other princes. What's wrong with the prince now? Wide draft girl? It's not right, draft girls should choose those women who are innocent, the prince is specifically picking those who are not innocent, what is the situation.

However, Huai En didn't plan to ask more, and he didn't dare to ask more, since the prince handed over this matter to him, then he had to do everything he could to do it well, although doing so was likely to offend other concubines, but there was no way, he was the prince's person, and he could only listen to the orders of the prince alone in this life, as for the queen and the princess, it was a matter of taking care of it, and he really couldn't take care of it, so he could only offend it. I believe that with the wisdom of the queen, it is possible to understand the hardships of these people.

All of a sudden, the slave camps and prisoner of war camps in Suguo were boiling again, and the young girls and young women who were doing rough work in them were all surprised, and then boiled.

They still don't know what Zhu Ao is going to do in the beauty pageant? I thought he was going to elect concubines and enrich the harem, didn't all the kings of the past do this when they became developed? They feel that the day of their emergence has finally arrived, as long as they can be chosen by the prince, they can get out of this slave camp and prisoner of war camp, and they will no longer be called by people like cattle and horses, but can live the life of a superior person and live a beautiful life.

Isn't Lan Youcheng a living example? Her Laozi Lanyu is the main culprit in the No. 1 rebellion case, she can be re-whitewashed and become a virtuous concubine, why can't we?

After the news came, many women over the age of fourteen and under the age of twenty-five in the slave camps and prisoner of war camps were all busy and began to practice their talents, because King Su specially ordered that in order for them to prepare for the selection with peace of mind, they did not have to work for a month, but only needed to concentrate on training.

This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, and there will definitely be no such shop in this village after that. The fate of life is about to usher in a turning point, who wouldn't work hard? Men think about changing their fate all day long, so they study very hard, ten years as a day, but the men of ancient times don't seem to know, or selectively ignore this - women are also people, people have a general psychological need to pursue happiness, they also want to change their fate, live a life of people, the so-called three from the four virtues, virtuous ladies and other false names are just those who have not succeeded in the thin coat of women to cover up their failures, If there is a chance for them to leap into the dragon gate, be stars, and be Kuotai, then they will tear it off mercilessly.

Life is just a few decades, who doesn't want to live a better life, no matter how good the reputation is, can they be eaten? Don't let anyone think about it!

The women of these slave camps and prisoner of war camps and their families are all boiling, everyone is busy with the matter of selection, once they are selected by King Su, not only can these women change their lives against the sky and go to the peak of their lives, but even their families will definitely follow, at least there is no problem in getting out of slavery, after all, they are also relatives of the king - anyway, they think so.

"Mother, how do you see my dance?" A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl has just danced in front of her parents and family, and she feels that she has played well, but when it comes to major events related to her own future, she still doesn't dare to be sloppy, and she must be recognized by others.

The woman's mother is a beautiful woman in her thirties, she was a singer when she was young, and she was taken back to the house by her official Lao Tzu, but she didn't expect that the good days didn't take long, and she was put on the blue jade case, her husband was killed, and she and her daughter became slaves who could be bullied by everyone, in this dark slave camp, living a life like cattle and horses, when she lamented the impermanence of fate, King Su's order to select a talented and beautiful show girl made her see hope again, she thought that her daughter was very good in appearance and figure, Coupled with the singing and dancing skills that she laid down many years ago, this selection should not be a big problem.

This is a great opportunity for the whole family to turn over, so she has been urging her daughter to practice diligently, and told her every day that as long as she is favored by the prince, she will never have to live this kind of life again, and she can live a luxurious life before, or even a more luxurious life than before. To be honest, if it weren't for the king's age limit, she would have wanted to go up and fight hard.

Fortunately, her daughter is quite sensible and knows that this opportunity is not easy to come by, and she has long wanted to live this kind of life, so she practices her talents hard every day under the supervision of her mother, and her training intensity is no worse than that of the trainees of country H in later generations.

The girl's mother watched her child's performance, her heart is still more satisfied, to be honest, her daughter is making rapid progress, it is not easy to dance this difficult dance in such a short time, but she still does not dare to take it lightly, because she knows that the people who participated in the selection this time are the family members of the previous offenders, and there are not a few of them who are talented and beautiful, and they must urge their daughter to practice hard, and not let her have the slightest pride and slackness, sitting on the chair, and said expressionlessly:" There are still a few places where you don't jump well enough and need to be improved. Son, you can work harder, the concubine next door to Master Li is practicing late every day. Her waist is already softer than yours, and she will seduce men, she works so hard, you must not take it lightly, you can't be compared to her. ”

After hearing this, the girl breathed a long sigh of relief, she knew that her mother was doing this for her good, and she was not angry because of her mother's words, she twisted her waist, gently wiped the sweat on her forehead with her hand, and said to her mother in a firm tone: "Let the child rest for a while." Children must practice hard and will not be compared to others! ”

"Good boy, being a mother is also for your good, you must not blame your mother for being ruthless." With tears in her eyes, the woman muttered that it seemed to her that it was worth it to get out of this dark slave camp and live a human life.

The selection competition for talented girls is in full swing, and there is still a month to start, and this month Zhu Ao has not been idle, in addition to choosing an address for the entertainment venue, the most important thing is to care about how the school is established.

He would rather earn less money and popularize compulsory education, so that all the people of Suzhou can read and write, so that they can have the ability to create wealth, and lay a good foundation for the sustainable development of the country in the future.

Since the establishment of the post of superintendent, Zhu Ao has completely become the shopkeeper, throwing all the academic policies of the country to Yu Enyuan, and he has not had time to inspect his work achievements.

More than a month has passed, the school hall in Dunhuang City has been almost built, and the first batch of students have begun to attend classes, it is time to inspect the growth of the flowers of the motherland.

According to the decree promulgated by Zhu Ao, all citizens of Su State, both male and female, must come to the school to learn literacy at the age of 15, and the term is one year, and there is no charge for this year, and the school also manages one lunch and one dinner.

When the news came out, the whole country was jubilant, who doesn't want their children to be literate and promising? In feudal society, reading and reading is not a simple matter, just asking Mr. Shu has to spend a lot of money, those who can get fame, in addition to being smart and hardworking, are inseparable from the strong support of the family, otherwise they will not be able to survive the day of the exam. After all, no matter how smart and hard a person is, they must eat first, they can't eat, and the elderly in the family have no money to treat when they are sick, and they still read a book!

Nowadays, His Royal Highness King Su loves the people like a son, and even lets the children of the whole country go to school for one year for free, and also take care of two meals. This makes them happier than reducing taxes for a few years, and their children are better, and they are much better than themselves.

Zhu Ao could not make so many schools at once for all children from all over the country to go to school, so he could only set up a few pilot projects in Dunhuang first, and after the pilot projects were successful, each county would come to learn from the experience and implement them in various places to ensure that each county had a school. The northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, and some counties are larger than any city in the Central Plains, so it is really inconvenient for children to go to school every day.

Therefore, Zhu Ao stipulated that in addition to providing free food, each school should also provide free accommodation, and those students who live in the school cannot live in vain, but must help the school work, plant vegetable fields, carry water, chop wood, etc., so as to exercise their physical strength and living ability. This is contrary to Zhu Ao's original intention of running the school.

Zhu Ao's educational philosophy is the all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor, at least the all-round development of morality, intelligence and physique, this is not a false empty talk, it is very necessary and can be done, for example, the IQ of students in European and American countries can not be said to be low, sports, morality, etc. are very good, what others can do, why can't we Han people do it?

It is precisely because of this concept that he stipulates that students only have cultural classes in the morning, and all physical education classes in the afternoon, and it is an outdoor class, and the knives, guns, sticks, fists and feet, and five-kilometer cross-country should be taken out to train students, whether it is sunny or rainy, if it is a rainy day, it is necessary to practice, and practice in the rain can show the spirit.

Anyway, there are not so many high-tech theories to learn in this era, and the goal of Zhu Ao's school is to let the people of Su Guo have basic reading and writing skills, some basic calculations, and some basic physical and chemical knowledge. After all, it is still the era of cold weapons, and the main way of war is hand-to-hand combat. Writing articles and poems will not take the enemy away.

Zhu Ao's setting of the age of the national school at the age of fifteen is also carefully considered, first of all, it is too young to do, like the kind of six or seven years old in later generations to go to school at the age of six or seven, it is not feasible at all, because at this time those little children do not have the basic ability to take care of themselves, living in the school can only increase the burden on the school, and the school does not have so much capital to hire a nanny to take care of them. Moreover, children at this age are not sensible, and there are more naughty mischief, so if they don't study well, they will not waste the country's resources in vain. What's more, Zhu Ao also had to train them milarily, so that they could be both civil and military, so that they could be used by the country. How to train a six- or seven-year-old child, this is simply nonsense.

In view of the above situation, Zhu Ao fixed the age of the people to go to school at the age of 15, and the age of 15 is really the most suitable age for people who are sensible, can take care of themselves, and can also receive high-intensity military training.

Moreover, Zhu Ao stipulated that the people of Suguo should be adults at the age of 16, and they should bear the obligations that adults should bear, such as paying taxes, conscription, military service, and so on, and going to school at the age of 15 will not delay these things, and will not have a negative impact on the operation of the country.

In addition, according to the regulations of the armor protection system, all adult men who have reached the age of 16 in the country should work when they are busy with the farm, and when they are not working, they should train with the first commander and the chief of the army, and when they are 15 years old, they should first conduct a systematic military training in school to lay a solid foundation, and when they become adults, they will save a lot of trouble and reduce unnecessary troubles.

The Confucian saints were only interested in learning at the age of fifteen, so Zhu Ao thought that the ordinary citizens of Su Guo did not need to be in a hurry, and it was perfect to follow in the footsteps of the saints and go to school at the age of fifteen.

Zhu Ao called Yu Enyuan, the superintendent of the school, his palace, very politely gave a seat, and said very gently to his former teacher: "Aiqing has worked very hard to prepare for the school these days. The widow thanked Mr. for the students of my country. ”

The weight of these words was too heavy, Yu Enyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly got up, arched his hand at Zhu Ao, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your love." The king's enthusiasm for running a school is really an unprecedented move of the emperor, and it is a great gospel for the people of our country, and it is really an honor for the ministers to make a modest contribution to the progress of the country's studies under the leadership of the king. ”

Zhu Ao smiled, stood up unhurriedly, took two steps forward, grabbed Yu Enyuan's hands, and said very kindly and enthusiastically: "Sir, you don't have to be like this, how is our school doing now?" ”

Yu Enyuan gave Zhu Ao a gentle look again, his face was full of confident smiles, and he said very proudly: "Your Majesty, with the strong support of the king, the minister has established a model school in Dunhuang, and plans to open in a few days, with an initial enrollment of 3,000 people. Please also ask the king to go to school to give a lecture! ”

Zhu Ao was very satisfied with his work efficiency, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, don't worry." No matter how busy the widow is, he will attend the opening ceremony of the first public school in my country. ”

Yu Enyuan was very moved, he never thought that the dignified king would attach so much importance to a school, although this king always made amazing moves, but he can popularize compulsory education, so that all the people of Su can read and write, that is also a great initiative that has never been seen before, enough to go down in history, immediately knelt on the ground in fear, and said gratefully: "The old minister thanked the king for those students, and the king's move will definitely go down in history and surpass the ancient and modern emperors." ”

Zhu Ao smiled slightly, helped his master up, sighed sincerely, and said: "The widow doesn't have such great ambitions, the widow only thinks that you can cultivate more talents for the widow, so that I will always be full of talents and prosperous." ”

Yu Enyuan stood up slowly, the pride in his chest was also stirred up by Zhu Ao, those warriors can attack the city and pull out the village to make contributions, although he has no power to restrain the chicken, but he can also rely on his own efforts to cultivate more talents for the country, and make his own contributions, arched his hand at Zhu Ao, and said with pride: "Please rest assured, the minister will do his best." ”

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the opening ceremony, this day happened to be a good day, the wind was beautiful, the sun was shining, the first public university in Suzhou officially opened, more than 3,000 students gathered on the school grounds, waiting for the lecture of the superintendent.

Yu Enyuan, the minister of supervision, wore a brand-new court uniform, and said to the more than 3,000 students below: "Students, today is a good day for the opening of the first college of our country, you have received the king's kindness, and it is an honor to be able to read and write for free. ”

"Now, please ask the king to give me a lecture!" After saying this, Yu Enyuan, the superintendent, hurriedly flashed to the side and gave Zhu Ao the middle position.

In order to reflect the importance he attaches to education, Zhu Ao specially wore his most solemn clothes - Jiuzhang Gon Dragon Robe, which is the most compelling clothes he can wear so far.

When Yu Enyuan saw Zhu Ao coming up, he subconsciously wanted to kneel, and the other teachers and the students below also thought about kneeling. As soon as Zhu Ao saw this posture, he immediately waved his hand to stop it, these red tapes are too troublesome, it's a waste of time to kneel around like this, and when they are busy with this set of etiquette, they should get off work, what else to say? Standing in the middle of the ceremony, he cleared his throat, silently repeated the draft he had typed last night, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Students, you are all the pillars of our country's future, and the construction of our country in the future depends on you." The widow believes that the future of the world is in the hands of young people, so they have spared no expense to set up a public college, just hoping that you can become a talent here and support a piece of the country's sky in the future. Wan Wanger and others should not live up to the expectations of the widows, cultivate literature and martial arts, and use them for the country! In addition, it is not enough to learn it yourself, you have to take home the words you know, as well as other knowledge you have learned in school, and teach them to your parents, your young brothers and sisters, so that everyone in the country can read and write. If their literacy level is not up to standard, then they will not even be able to get out of the door, you must take the words of the widow to heart, study hard, and teach your family. ”

"The king is a thousand years old! King Shang Chitose! The more than 3,000 students below shouted in unison, although they didn't know how the king was going to evaluate their family's homework, but this king's often amazing deeds had spread throughout the country, and these students also admired him very much. Everyone is determined to become a talent, so that he may repay the king for his great kindness.

Zhu Ao said a few more words, announced the end of the conference, and then ordered a small eunuch to call Yu Enyuan, the superintendent of education, to a big tree not far away.

To be honest, this opening ceremony was still very successful, more than 3,000 students were in good order, and none of them ran around, or made a loud noise, which made Yu Enyuan very satisfied, and also made him feel that he had earned enough face in front of the king and his colleagues, so after hearing the news that Zhu Ao called him, he was very happy, and secretly thought that a meal of praise must be indispensable.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he saw Zhu Ao, he was scolded by the other party with a tiger face: "Yu Aiqing, did you not understand the widow's will or did you deliberately discount the implementation?" ”

Yu Enyuan was stunned for a moment, his cheeks, which were originally full of smiles, instantly stiffened, and he suddenly felt that the second monk was puzzled, the scale of his school and the number of personnel were all built and recruited in accordance with the standards set by the king, why was it implemented at a discount? Could it be that the school's charter is not right in addition to the problem, the charter was drawn up by him and a few respected scholars, there will definitely be no problem, his head was instantly full of fog, and he asked Zhu Ao cautiously: "The king of Qiqi is dull and can't understand what the king's words mean?" ”
