Okay, Zhu Song directly regarded the kings of Fanbang who came to Daming as the ordinary people of Daming, and greeted them at will, and even thought about letting them go to live in the thatched cottage, he really dared to think about it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You kid, can't you speak reliably?" Zhu Di glared at Zhu Song angrily, and said, "Anyway, those people are also kings and royal families of various countries, and they are honored in their own countries, so let them go to live in the grass hall?" It's a shame you figured it out. ”

"Hahaha, it's good to build another courtyard for them." Zhu Song laughed, "Let them come to Daming, let's have a banquet for them, just have a place to live." ”

"The minister thinks what His Royal Highness King Han said is reasonable." At this time, Yang Shiqi stood up and said: "Since those countries of Fanbang have already surrendered to my Ming Dynasty, they naturally have to obey my Ming Dynasty's control. The imperial court built a courtyard for the kings of these states for the 'feast of a hundred countries', and it should be them who feel honored, so why waste financial, manpower, and material resources to decorate them according to the characteristics of these states? ”

Don't look at Yang Shiqishi as a civil official, but there is still the arrogance of a wise man in his bones!

"His Royal Highness King Han and Lord Liu are wrong in what they say!" Han Kong disagreed with the two of them, "Decorating the courtyard, in addition to giving face to the king of Fanbang, is also to show the wealth and strength of my Ming Dynasty!" If I really send them to live in the thatched cottage, I'm afraid they will laugh at me for not knowing etiquette and not knowing how to count etiquette! ”

"Love him. Whatever the mother thinks, she can think about it! "Zhu Song can't see this gang doing a pit in the name of righteousness for the sake of the court. Daddy's person, "Dare to chew the root of my Daming's tongue behind your back and destroy them!" ”

Domineering, very domineering, quite domineering!

Zhu Song's words were unkind, and could even be said to be rude, but in fact, he expressed a simple and clear meaning, that is: I am more powerful than you, and it is easy to destroy you!

It's a very simple truth, when it comes to my Ming territory, if it's a tiger, you have to lie down, and if it's a dragon, you have to coil!

Listening to Zhu Song's words, Han Kong's face flushed, and he didn't dare to speak, he was angry, but not frightened.

Exactly, Xiucai met Bing, and it is unreasonable!

Zhu Di understood the meaning of Zhu Song's words, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Okay, Han Kong, the people from your Ministry of Etiquette will directly inspect the courtyard in a few days, just be polite and courteous, don't be too respectful." ”

"Wechen obeys!" What else can Han Kong say, he can only give up his hand.

"Alright, let's talk about another thing."

When a long table full of dishes and wine came in, Zhu Di took a glass of wine and said, "As you all know, the preparation for the establishment of the school department has been on the right track, and the specific structure has been formed. However, I am worried about what kind of students should be accepted by teaching institutions at all levels, what things should be taught, since they are graded, the content taught should naturally be different. ”

According to the previous private school style of teaching, a private school master often taught the children what he had learned in his life, which means that the children's future education level depends on the master who taught them.

If the master of the private school is just a mediocre person who has studied for a few years, then the students he teaches, unless there are more talented masters to teach them in the future, otherwise, the highest achievement in his life, that is, the same as their master, and the desire to take the high school imperial examination by self-study is completely a fool's dream.

"Hooray." The main hall was quiet for a while, and Xie Jin was the first to speak, "When the school palace was first built, Weichen once asked Kong Xuan Kong Shilang to send a letter to the disciples who had followed him to study and ask for advice, so that they could come to Nanjing City to organize the preparation for the construction of the school palace. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Jin paused and continued: "After these days of discussion, I finally have a preliminary plan. ”

"Oh? Can it be organized into a book? Zhu Song interjected at this time.

"It's just been recorded one by one, and I haven't had time to compile it into a book." Xie Jin turned his head and glanced at Zhu Song, and replied: "Xia Guan originally wanted to let Kong Shilang play an excerpt in a few days, but since Wan Sui Ye asked today, Xia Guan will briefly introduce it to Wan Sui Ye and all the adults." ”

Although the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Yanjin is the secretary of the school, he not only occupies the official position of the scholar, because of his special status, Zhu Di authorized him not to participate in the court meeting, and even did not have to play excerpts.

Therefore, the work that this Shangshu should do, and even the appointment and dismissal of some low-level officials in the school, were all thrown to the left and right attendants, and Kong Xuan, the old master, was naturally pushed out.

"Oh, it doesn't hurt to talk about it briefly." Zhu Di waved his hand and said, "After all, it's not a book, let's discuss it in the main hall, the three stinkers are better than Zhuge Liang, haha......"

When it came to the back, Zhu Di himself laughed first, and now he just wanted to hear it, after all, the people in the hall at the moment are not specialized in education, who can come up with any good methods?

"Since the Lord wants to hear it, then Weichen will talk about it." Xie Jin smiled and said, "The teaching institutions under our school department are divided into four stages from top to bottom, namely Jixia Academy, Jixia Academy, and Jixia Academy. According to the opinions of those scholars, the teaching institutions at each level are from the bottom to the top, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, from simple to profound. ”

"He is worthy of being a disciple of Kong Qing." Zhu Di became interested when he heard it, "Xie Qing, is there anything specific?" ”

"Let's say the county-level Jixia School." Xie Jin pursed his lips and said: "The preliminary opinion of the scholars is to set the school of Jixia School into four years, after all, the most important thing for children is to teach when they are young, this is a child's shaping period, and these four years are enough for children to lay a sufficient foundation." ”

"However, when I was a child, my learning ability was good." Zhu Song nodded on the side, "But this king is very curious, these four years are not long, not short, what do the scholars plan to let the children learn?" ”

"Our Ming enlightenment for children is nothing more than three hundred thousand, and this first year's time is naturally to learn three hundred thousand, and let the children master the three hundred thousand thoroughly." Xie Jin said as a matter of course.

Three hundred thousand, refers to the ancient Chinese enlightenment of the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text", but these three hundred thousand put together, but there are a lot of words in it, this literacy and hyphenation of pure accumulation, if it takes a year for the children to completely master the three hundred thousand, it is still a little impossible.

Wait, there seems to be something wrong!

Zhu Song was wondering if the children could master three hundred thousand in a year, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, he seemed to have forgotten something, so Zhu Song frowned, but he thought about it.

With a crisp sound, Zhu Song slapped his palm violently and said, "Master Xie, do you know what is the age set by those scholars?" You can't send them to Jixia School when they're three or four years old, right? ”

Age, yes, it's age!

According to Zhu Song's previous life, Huaxia's 'nine-year compulsory education system', the age of children to go to school is eight years old, that is, they can only go to primary school from the age of seven, and the education before primary school is preschool education.

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment, touched the back of his head, and said, "This, this, I haven't ...... it."

"It is simply unrealistic to completely master three hundred thousand in one year." Before Xie Jin could finish speaking, Zhu Song interrupted him, "We all know that although we have a strong ability to accept it when we are children, if we enter the Jixia Academy at the age of three or four, won't we be able to do anything except make trouble?" ”

"That's right!" Zhu Di also reacted, "If the children are too young, it will delay other children who can learn, and if they are too old, I am afraid that the children will deliberately alienate and ridicule those older children, so it seems that it will harm them." ”

"Then according to His Royal Highness King Han, what restrictions should there be on children in teaching institutions at all levels?" Xie Jin asked.

"It's very simple, the child enters the Jixia Academy at the age of eight, and after three years enters the Jixia Academy, he studies in the Jixia Academy for three years and then enters the Jixia Academy to study, as for the Jixia Academy, what ......?"

Zhu Song pondered carefully for a while, and continued: "In the Jixia School Palace, there should be the most talented and learned masters and Confucians in my Ming Dynasty, whether they can enter the Jixia School Palace or not, it still depends on the efforts of those children themselves. ”

"Brother Song, according to your meaning, if you want to enter the Jixia Academy Palace to study, you still need to be assessed?" Zhu Hu sat beside Zhu Song, and when he heard this, he frowned again, "If you take the assessment, will anyone else come to the Academy?" ”

"How could it not?" Zhu Song's eyes widened, and he said: "Not only the Jixia School Palace, but all the teaching institutions at all levels under the school department, they must be assessed every period of time, and those who fail the assessment will have to retake the examination or repeat the grade." ”

What's the situation? Do you have to take an assessment every once in a while? What is the difference between this and the township test and the general test?

All the civil and military officials present were stunned, where is this studying, it is clear that the exam is non-stop!

Zhu Song is taking revenge, and the suffering of the exam-oriented education he suffered in his previous life has been brought to Daming with a rod, and looking at Zhu Song's posture, he has considered it very thoroughly, which clearly shows that the bear children of Daming will suffer!

"Dare to ask the prince, what is repeating?" For the re-examination, Xie Jin can still understand, but he doesn't know what repeating is.

"This is a repetition, this king said so." Zhu Song thought for a while and explained: "Didn't Master Xie say that this first year of Jixia Academy, is it planned for children to completely master three hundred thousand?" For example, if the children are asked to learn Tang poetry in the second year, after the first year expires, the children are organized to take exams, and if there are children who fail the exams, they will not be allowed to enter the second year of Tang poetry learning. ”

When he said this, Zhu Song deliberately stopped, so that everyone had a time to understand and buffer.

After all, Zhu Song's explanation was a bit tongue-twisting, and it was a little difficult to understand.

After everyone's faces showed expressions of understanding, Zhu Song continued: "When, when and when the children can pass the three hundred thousand study period exams, they can enter the Tang Poetry Study. From the time the exam is passed until the exam is passed, it is the repetition period. ”

"Oh!" Xie Jin suddenly, stroked the black beard under his chin, and said: "If you repeat this grade, it is also good for the children, at least they will not be embarrassed by what they have learned, but it is a test of the children's endurance." ”

Of course, it is a test of the children's endurance, if you repeat a grade at a time, if you repeat a grade for two or three years in a row, I am afraid that not only the children will laugh at them, but even the parents of those children will take the children who repeat the grade as negative teaching materials, and what kind of pressure will the children who repeat the grade bear at that time?

"You're thinking too pessimistic." Yao Guangxiao touched his bald head and said: "Actually, this is also an incentive for children, do you think, if other children in the same period have passed the exam, only he has not passed, will he work hard to study ten times or a hundred times harder than other children?" ”

Xie Jin smiled and said, "Lord Yao is right, but the officials didn't think it through. ”

"Brother Song, this is a good idea." Zhu Di took a sip of his wine glass, "It's just that according to what Brother Songcai said, since he entered the Jixia Academy at the age of eight, three years in the Jixia Academy, three years in the Jixia Academy, and three years in the Jixia Academy, excluding the time spent studying in the Jixia Academy, this is a total of nine years." After completing their studies, they are already adults, and when they become adults, is it possible that they all have to enter the court as officials? ”

As the saying goes, 'I have been studying hard for more than ten years in the cold window, and the title of the gold list is famous today', nine years of time is not a few years compared with more than ten years, and what I have learned over the years should be enough for a lifetime.

But in the same way, nine years also allowed those children to learn a lot less things: farming, business, martial arts...... If you learn to write after nine years, it's too late!

Of course, this is all what Zhu Di and the ministers present think, and it does not represent Zhu Song's wishes.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, why do you think so?" Zhu Song looked at Judy a little strangely and said, "What does it have to do with children studying for nine years and becoming officials in the court?" Isn't the reason why children are allowed to learn is to improve the overall quality of the next generation of my Ming dynasty? ”

"Isn't it?" Zhu Di frowned, and asked with some seriousness: "In nine years, although many scholars have been cultivated, I have a vast cultivated land, who will plant this cultivated land?" In the future, if there is a state that invades the border of our Ming Dynasty, and there are mountain bandits and floods raging in the territory, who will defend the frontier and who will exterminate the bandits? ”

Zhu Di just said that there are two professions, one is a farmer and the other is a soldier, both professions are extremely important in the Ming Dynasty, one is to protect the family and defend the country, and the other is to fill the treasury and make a living.

When they got here, the meaning of Zhu Di's words was already obvious, and they thought that the nine years of study in Zhu Song's words were just learning poetry and songs, the six arts of gentlemen, and nothing else.

This is also a teaching tradition in China since ancient times, and it is not surprising!
