In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Youzhen led all the members of the palace to participate in the morning exercise as usual. What is different from the previous is that the team for today's morning exercise has grown a lot, and more than 100 children have also joined.

Previously, Zhu Youzhen's "cash-for-work" was only for adult men and some women; From today, the scope has been expanded to cover all school-age children: the school called "Qinwang Primary School" has been officially established.

The so-called ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, in fact, Zhu Youzhen has long realized the importance of cultivating talents. He knew very well that the traditional education of this era was nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, and the imperial examination for the selection of officials in the imperial court only tested some eight-strand texts.

The vast majority of the officials cultivated in this way are nerds like the Donglin Party. Facts have proved that this road is not passable, and the way of Confucius and Mencius cannot resist the blade of the Jurchens at all. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not want to select talents from the current scholars at all, but decided to set up a new school by himself.

Only by running a new school in accordance with modern standards can we open up the wisdom of the people and cultivate and select talents who meet modern standards. With enough talents, Zhu Youzhen's various plans can be carried out smoothly, instead of being hindered back and forth by a bunch of pedantic pedants.

But when Zhu Youzhen began to recruit students from the villagers, he encountered great resistance. He recruited students for several days in a row, and he also stated that it was completely free, but there was no one who signed up, which made him puzzled.

happened to be one day when Sun Chuanting came to report on the situation in Jingyang County, and when the two were chatting, Zhu Youzhen mentioned his confusion to him.

Sun Chuanting smiled faintly and said: "The villagers are reluctant to let their children study, and they also have their considerations. First of all, studying is to pay the teacher, that is, the tuition. Many people don't even have enough to eat, so how can they have spare money for their children to study. ”

"But I've already stated it's completely free!" Zhu Youzhen said in surprise.

"Bondage is only one aspect." Sun Chuanting said eloquently: "More importantly, the common people feel that reading is useless. ”

"How could it be useless? Didn't all the scholars in the imperial court pass the imperial examination? Zhu Youzhen was even more confused, "Isn't it 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'?" Don't these ordinary people want their children to get ahead and change their own destiny? ”

"I don't want to, but it's too hard!" Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "Not everyone is qualified to participate in the imperial examination. If you want to obtain the reference qualification, you must first pass the two examinations of the county examination and the prefectural examination to become a 'child'. In these two rounds alone, half of the readers have been eliminated.

"After becoming a child, you have to take the college examination; Only those who pass can join the state school and become a student, that is, 'Xiucai'. Many people take the exam every year, but they can't be a showman when they are fifty or sixty years old, their eyebrows and beards are gray, and they have to take the same exam as their teenage students every year, so they are called 'old boys'. ”

"Since it's so difficult to be a showman, it's much easier in the future, right?" Zhu Youzhen asked tentatively.

"The so-called one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety." Sun Chuanting smiled, "Even if you become a showman, you are still far from the title of the gold list!" The following is the first of the three imperial examinations, the township examination. The township test is held in different provinces, once every three years, because the time is in the autumn, so it is also called 'autumn puff'. This exam is extremely difficult, and only two or three of the 100 candidates often pass. Those who pass the township examination are called 'lifting people', and they are qualified to be officials. ”

Zhu Youzhen was sweating all over his head when he heard this, thinking that the college entrance examination in his previous life was known as "a single-plank bridge crowded by thousands of troops," but the most difficult one, that is, the one in which the college entrance examination was resumed in 1979, the admission rate also reached 4 percent.

As for the so-called reform of the education system later, after the implementation of the merger of enrollment, basically as long as you pay for it, you can go to school, and the admission rate is getting higher and higher, and by the time you take the college entrance examination, it has reached more than 80 percent.

According to Sun Chuanting's introduction, in this time and space, the actual admission rate of the juren is probably only a few thousandths. Compared with the readers of this era, the children in the previous life are really in the blessing and do not know the blessing!

Sun Chuanting continued: "After the middle lift, you can enter Beijing to catch the exam." This is the second of the three examinations of the imperial examination, the Hui Examination. It is also held once every three years, and because it is held in the spring, it is also called 'Chunfu'. No matter how many candidates refer to it, only 300 people will be selected for each examination, and they will be called 'Gongshi', and the rest will all fail to make the list, so they will have to wait for the next year. ”

"As for the last test of the three imperial examinations, the palace examination, it is relatively easy." Sun Chuanting was dumbfounded when he saw Zhu Youzhen hearing this, and said with a smile, "The tributes who have passed the examination will immediately participate in the palace examination, that is, the emperor will personally preside over the questioning." The admission is divided into three grades: the first and three are called 'Jinshi and No.', which are the champions, the top eyes, and the tanhua; A number of second-class names are called 'Jinshi origin', and a number of third-class names are called 'Tongjinshi origin'. The people admitted to these three are also collectively referred to as 'Jinshi'.

"Every time I take the temple exam, there are only more than 100 people who can pass the Jinshi. I don't know how many readers have studied hard, and their black hair has turned into white hair, and they are the moment they inscribe the gold list; But he is always disappointed every year and wastes his time. Therefore, for ordinary croppers, it is better not to study at all and farm honestly! ”

Zhu Youzhen listened to Sun Chuanting's introduction and already knew the crux of the problem. But he didn't set up a school to allow students to take the imperial examinations. After a few nights of pondering, Zhu Youzhen finally came up with a brilliant idea.

So the next day, he announced through the Jingyang Business Gang: All the children who come to the porridge factory to eat porridge must go to school, and the degree of hard work and the quality of their grades will be used as the basis for the next soup kitchen. If parents do not let their children go to school, they will not be able to eat even if they take their children.

This trick is really powerful, and the vast majority of parents have sent their children over. Zhu Youzhen found that all the people who came to school were boys, and there were no girls. He had to repeat the same trick and expelled those who did not allow girls to go to school.

This time, even Sun Chuanting asked with some incomprehension: "As the saying goes, 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', sooner or later a girl will marry and have children, take care of the housework, and what is the use of studying?" ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that even Sun Chuanting could not realize the importance of "equality between men and women", and he also knew that in this era, the idea of "male superiority and inferiority of women" was still extremely stubborn, and it was not easy to change. Therefore, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with Sun Chuanting, and hurriedly sent him to Jingyang County to take office.

Under Zhu Youzhen's "compulsory education" policy, Qinwang Primary School finally opened today. More than 100 male and female students, both large and small, but none of them were literate and had the same starting point, so they were no longer divided into classes.

After the morning run* and breakfast, the school classes officially begin. But it's called a school, but in fact it doesn't even have a classroom, and it's all open-air classes. There is no way to do it, the brick factory has not yet been built, and it can only be made to do with it because of its ugliness.

Zhu Youzhen only hired a teaching gentleman, but did not let him teach things like "Di Zi Gui", but directly taught students to read and write. Of course, because it was the first class, I only taught some of the simplest words such as "one, two, three, and oral hand".

Half an hour later, the literacy class ended, but Zhu Youzhen asked an old man from the business gang to be a math teacher to teach arithmetic. This old fellow is actually illiterate, but the abacus beads are very ripe. Because people in this era generally don't pay attention to mathematics, Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to let the old guy take his place for a while, and wait to find a more suitable candidate in the future.

At the end of the arithmetic class, it's time for recess*. Zhu Youzhen was afraid that these children would not be able to remember, so he simplified the recess* of his previous life as much as possible, and demonstrated it for them in person. The children found it very interesting and learned seriously.

After recess*, it's time for music lessons. The teacher of this class was Catherine, and when the children saw a blonde and blue-eyed Fanbang woman, they all felt very rare, and they were very serious about the lesson.

Zhu Youzhen also brought a piano specially for Catherine, which he took a lot of effort to get it.

Catherine received a court education from an early age and was very skilled in this area. She has always wanted to do something to repay Zhu Youzhen, and at this time she finally has a stage to play. The beautiful piano notes flowed from her nimble fingertips, like heavenly sounds. Not only the children, but also the villagers who were watching nearby were deeply fascinated. Of course, in terms of the beauty of the singing voice, girls are much stronger than boys, and the results of this class are also better than those of girls.

After music lessons, it was physical education. On a whim, Zhu Youzhen changed into civilian clothes and made a cameo appearance as a teacher in person. After the warm-up, he found a ball and organized a football match.

In fact, the game of "Keju" has long existed in ancient China, and it has been passed down to this era. However, due to the emphasis on literature and light on martial arts in the whole society, Keju has gradually evolved from confrontation to skill, which is similar to the shuttlecock kicking in the previous life.

Zhu Youzhen naturally didn't pay attention to the gameplay of this era, but directly moved the rules of modern football. Of course, he can't make a standard football field now, so he has to make a simple goal out of stones.

However, the charm of football does not change depending on the conditions of the field and the level of competition. Even in this era, its simple magic still easily captivates children, and it doesn't take long for the field to be in full swing.

However, the children played football for the first time, and they were not as comfortable as Zhu Youzhen. Within a few minutes, Zhu Youzhen won three yuan in a row, and proudly learned Inzaghi's hooded head-covered run.

But he didn't run a few steps before he collided with a man so well that he almost didn't fly out.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly tore off the clothes covering his head and watched intently. saw a handsome and elegant son who was smiling warmly to himself: "You Gongzi is really interested, but Xiao Ke is easy to find!" ”
