After the meeting between Zhao and his friends, the kindergarten will open soon. He began to conceive his own kindergarten in the style of the kindergarten of later generations.

First of all, the arrangement of the house began, that is, a large room divided into several parts, with the boy on one side and the girl on the other. Secondly, set up a place to eat, and arrange low tables and chairs according to the pattern of a table for 4 children. Finally, and most importantly, the classrooms are configured according to one person, one table, one chair.

Of course, building a kindergarten in the Song Dynasty can only be about learning, and it is impossible to have such entertainment facilities as modern times. If he also engages in these things of play, there will immediately be old antiques coming to criticize and write, what is not doing business, good and bad, all kinds of ideological education can make you feel embarrassed in an instant. For the sake of the future, at this time, you still have to endure and play or something, and go aside!

At this time, Zhao will also face the old problem of crossing the public. Teachers are there, there is territory, but the teaching equipment has not kept up. Of course, the teaching of the Song Dynasty didn't seem to have those, blackboards, chalk and the like. So how do they teach? It's very simple, find a book of the sages, everyone will read it with the teacher, shake their heads, and then write and draw by themselves. If you haven't done it by the time the teacher checks it, then wait and enjoy the deliciousness of the ring ruler! That will make you want to die, and you haven't sued yet, even the prince is no exception.

As a modern person, the brush is also a huge problem for Zhao Yingyi. In modern society, people who can still play with the brush are quite rare, although now he has become a child, and has a lot of time to practice the brush slowly, but the writing efficiency of the brush and the waste of paper still make him extremely dissatisfied.

People's lives are very short, in this era, there are still lofty goals to achieve, any inefficient things are unacceptable to Zhao Benefit, calligraphy or as self-cultivation and self-cultivation.

At this time, simple and practical tools such as black and white, chalk, and quill pens came into Zhao's mind. And he just remembered how to make these things, and it was easy to get his hands on them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ying immediately rushed to Yanfu Palace to ask to see Song Zhenzong. As the only prince of the Song Dynasty at this time, Zhao benefited from many privileges, one of which was the unrestricted position in the imperial palace. He easily found Song Zhenzong, who was resting here after the dispersal of the dynasty.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Zhao Ying kowtowed to Song Zhenzong and said weakly.

"Ouch, why did the emperor come here today, didn't he play with your friends? Tell me, why did you come to find your father? ”

Zhao Yingfu stood up, ran into Song Zhenzong's arms, pulled his usual beard, and said to him in the child's cowardly voice: "Father, the son feels that this teaching method is very inconvenient, so he came up with a good idea, hoping that my father will help me." ”

"Yo, the emperor is so smart! Tell me, what's the idea? How can you ask your father to help you? Song Zhenzong stroked Zhao Ying's head and said to him in a kind tone.

Zhao Ying stared at his big thief eyes, looked at his father and said, "When the sons see the old masters teaching, they will only take the books, teach them sentence by sentence, and then explain them to the students one by one. It's cumbersome, and the professors aren't very efficient. The retainers wondered if they could make a flat place on the wall and find something that could be written on it, so that everyone could listen to the master's explanation at the same time. Hongfu, who entrusted his father to the emperor, finally made Erchen find a way, and Erchen called it blackboard and chalk. ”

"My emperor is different, he is outstanding at such a young age. Tell my father what kind of blackboard and chalk you say? ”

"Blackboard and chalk, as the name suggests, this blackboard is a black board, mainly made of wood to make a rectangular frame, inlaid with wood and polished flat, brushed with several layers of black paint, and polished smooth after drying. Chalk is made of a kind of ore, white, named gypsum, which is crushed into powder after calcination at high temperature, stirred into a paste by adding water, and poured into a cylindrical mold to solidify. Facing Song Zhenzong, Zhao Ying talked eloquently, these simple knowledge were quite simple questions for him.

Seeing his child talking about something he had never heard of, he couldn't help asking, "Emperor, I have never heard of this blackboard chalk or something you said, how did you know?" ”

"Erchen doesn't know, it seems that since Erchen was born, there are many strange things in his head." Zhao Ying pretended to be stupid, anyway, that's it, I just know, what can you do to me! It can be said that such a blatant scoundrel is quite shameless, but it has to be said that it is quite effective. His identity determines that others can't mess with him, the Son of Heaven is not something that anyone can question, and in this era of ignorance, his wonder can show his identity.

Song Zhenzong listened to his answer, and also said that there was no way but to blame the blessing of his ancestors and let him have a good son. So he didn't continue to ask, and at the same time, through Zhao Yingying's description, he also knew the reason why the child was looking for him. As the emperor of a country, his IQ is not low, and he understands that this thing can only be handed over to the "Ministry of Industry" to professionals. So Song Zhenzong sent a decree to let Shen Yu, a member of the Ministry of Labor, go to Kunning Palace to listen to it.

Zhao benefited from achieving his goal, so he said goodbye to Song Zhenzong after saying goodbye to Song Zhenzong, returned to Kunning Palace, and continued to fight for his career.

Soon after Zhao Yingfu returned to Kunning Palace, Xiao Shunzi came to say: "Your Highness, there is a foreigner outside, saying that he came by order, do you see it or not?" ”

"Bring him to see His Highness quickly," Zhao Ying commanded. After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

"Weichen, Shen Yu, a member of the Ministry of Works, greets His Highness." The person said respectfully.

"Elder Shen, please get up, I still have something to trouble you, don't be restrained, Xiao Shunzi, take a seat." Zhao Yingying hurriedly helped Shen Yu up, which flattered him. It was the happiest time for the readers, and the rest of the profession withered in its shadow, because the "elite" of the country could only read. Although Shen Yu, as a member of the Ministry of Works, is not a low official, how to say that he is also a central official, but in the Song Dynasty, where the status of craftsmen was low, as representatives of craftsmen, they would also have some unconfidence in their hearts.

Zhao Yingying's actions, in Shen Yu's opinion, were a model for Corporal Lixian. As a courtier, you must complete the tasks ordered by His Royal Highness, this is Shen Yu's inner monologue. He leaned forward and said to Zhao: "Your Highness, what do you have to tell Weichen, Weichen will definitely do his best." ”

Zhao Huili sorted out the next thoughts, and brought the production process and precautions of blackboard and chalk to Shen Yu one by one. After Shen Yu listened, he thought for a while, and then said to Zhao Ying: "Your Highness, Wei Chen thinks that the blackboard and chalk you said should be able to be made. The chalkboard is not difficult, it is easy to do. Please Rong Weichen go back and try this chalk, Wechen has seen the kind of stone you described in the mine, give Wechen some time, and make chalk that satisfies His Highness. Wechen went back to prepare, and Wechen retired. ”

After sending Shen Yu away, Zhao Yingfu returned to the room and began to ponder the future questions. The dormitories, cafeterias, and classrooms are still being renovated, which will take a few days to complete, compared to the blackboard and chalk at that time. Take advantage of this time to make a pen, what kind of pen is good? Although Zhao Yingyi has a large number of options in his head, limited by the level of craftsmanship in this era, there are really not many that can be made. One of the rather simple quill pens came into his field of vision, which was not difficult to make and the process was very simple.

"Xiao Shunzi, you immediately send someone to collect some good goose feathers and come back, His Highness has something important to do." Zhao Ying instructed Xiao Shunzi next to him. "Yes, Your Highness" received the order, and Xiao Shunzi rushed out.

At this time, Xiao Linglong, who was staying on the side, leaned over and asked softly, "Your Highness, what are you going to do?" Slaves can help you. Zhao Yingying thought for a while and said, "Xiao Linglong, come and polish the ink for His Royal Highness, and I'll see His Highness get you a magical thing later." Zhao Yingfu felt that he was domineering, showing a rather unscrupulous arrogance to the palace maids and eunuchs around him.

After a while, Xiao Shunzi came in with a pinch of goose feathers. The imperial palace of the Song Dynasty had a special place for the emperor and empress to experience life, and occasionally went to farm and raise something, in order to show that the royal family was close to the people and valued agriculture. It just so happened that geese were raised. Xiao Shunzi didn't take much effort to complete the task, and came back to report in a hurry.

"Master, the goose feathers you wanted, the small one has been found for you." As he spoke, Xiao Shunzi presented goose feathers.

Zhao Yingying took it and looked at it, and was still quite satisfied, most of it could be used. By the way, he praised it: "Little Shunzi, well done." "As a leader, you always have to be gracious and powerful. So, he beckoned the maids around him to join in the making of quills.

In fact, the production of this quill pen is still very simple, and after Zhao Yingfu dictated, the maids can basically complete it well. Most of the strongest quill pens are taken from the outermost five feathers of a bird's wing, and the left wing is better because it grows at an angle that is more in line with the pen grip habits of right-handed writers. Because the goose feather is the simplest and convenient, Zhao Yingyi chose it. The maids selected the appropriate feathers according to the requirements, and then began to trim them, and then polished their tips into an angled cut. After the production is completed, it is dipped in ink to write, and the better effect is selected.

After more than ten days, Shen Yu came to Kunning Palace again to meet Zhao Yingying. He reported to him the completion of the blackboard and chalk: "Your Highness, after the attempts of Weichen and his colleagues in the past few days, they have finally lived up to expectations, this is chalk, can you see if there is anything that needs to be improved?" Shen Yu passed the chalk to Zhao Yingying.

"In addition, Wechen has placed the blackboard in the reading place, please move over and take a look." He continued to say to Zhao Yingying.

Zhao Fuyi looked at the chalk, the shape was not much different from the later generations, and the feel was okay, so he came to the classroom with the chalk, ready to try the effect of writing. When they arrived, the officials of the Ministry of Industry were binding the blackboard, and when they saw Zhao Ying's arrival, they all stopped what they were doing and asked him to say goodbye: "Your Highness, please wait for a while, and the ministers will finish it immediately." ”

"The Zhongqing family has worked hard for the boy's business, His Royal Highness should keep it in mind!" Zhao Yingying encouraged the ministers. "Your Highness, it's serious, being able to serve Your Highness is a blessing for my subordinates!" The officials hurriedly replied.

After the blackboard binding was completed, Zhao Yingying tried it on the blackboard respectively, and the effect was not bad, although there was still some gap with later generations, but it did not affect the use. Turned to Shen Yu and said: "Aiqing is doing things, His Royal Highness is very relieved, these things have been completed well, and I will have to worry about Aiqing in the future, please bear with me!" ”

"His Royal Highness is drooping, and Weichen is grateful, and he must be attentive to the king's affairs." Shen Yu replied excitedly.
