The students of Zhufu have been in three phases so far, and even the third period has been reading books for more than one year. There are a total of 1,300 students in the third phase of Zhufu, and the first phase students have basically begun to be active in various jobs, and only a few of the second phase students have started to work, and the third phase students are still studying.

With these people, Zhu Houwei's brothers' industry can be handy, but Zhu Houwei is not satisfied. In the past few years, he has built a larger school outside the capital, 20 miles northwest of the town of Li. It was basically built after the university of later generations, but the tallest building was a three-story building. The school is about 2,000 meters long and 1,500 meters wide, and the outside is cut into a wall about 2 meters high, which can be said to be the largest and strongest school of its time. The school has teaching buildings and dormitories, all of which are H-shaped, and they are all three-storey buildings. A school building has 5 classrooms on each floor, and each classroom can accommodate 50 to 80 people at the same time. There are 10 school buildings, which can accommodate at least 15,000 people. The teaching building is located on the south side of the school, and the whole school has 4 gates, one on each side, so that you can directly see the teaching building when you walk through the south gate. The dormitories are divided into two sections, 5 to the north and 5 to the west, not far from the academic building. Each dormitory has 40 rooms per floor, and each room can sleep 6 people. Adjacent to the school building is the girls' dormitory, while the northernmost is the men's dormitory. There are three large canteens on the east and west sides, all of which are two-storey, and each canteen can accommodate 1,000 people at the same time.

In the middle of the school is the playground, with three grassy football fields next to a concrete-paved track with iron horizontal and parallel bars at intervals. In the four corners of the school are utility rooms.

It turned out that all the students of Zhufu were arranged to the new school, this school took two years to complete, more than 1,000 students of Zhufu came to the gate for the first time, looking at a huge stone next to the gate, which was engraved with several golden characters, "Chaoyang Yuan" next to two rows of small characters "The sixth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Hongzhi, Zhu Zhengzhu". It can be said that the gate is very magnificent, and the calligraphy is also excellent, but the students here don't know who this Zhu is.

After the students entered, they found that the buildings inside were all made of cement, strong and abnormal, in terms of the aesthetics of this era, these buildings did not have carved railings and paintings, no pavilions and pavilions, no variety, all the buildings were carved out of a mold, square, grayish in color, not beautiful at all. But these people don't care, these people are basically fatherless and motherless orphans, and they are already very happy to have a place to eat and clothe, not to mention books. The men were divided into two teams, men and women, and a few former students led them to the dormitory where they were going to be occupied.

Not long after these Zhufu students entered, a quaint four-wheeled carriage drove into Chaoyang Courtyard, and there was a team of guards jogging with the carriage beside the carriage. After a while, the carriage stopped at the side of the teaching building, first Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei jumped off the carriage from both sides of the carriage pedal, and then Zhu Houzhao helped a Hongzhi to get out of the car, Zhu Houwei helped Queen Zhang get off, and finally the little girl was hugged down by Zhu Houwei.

Today is the first time for Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, and they can't help but look around for a while. Hongji sighed and asked, "This is the Chaoyang Temple where you have begged me for inscriptions several times?" Zhu Houzhao smiled with pride, "Exactly, Daddy's academy has been built for nearly 2 years, and it took 300,000 taels." Hongji smiled and said, "This house doesn't need giant wood, and it doesn't need to be carved, so much silver is used?" Zhu Houwei replied that "the things in the academy do not seek scenery, elegance, but only sturdiness and durability, so there are a lot more materials for all parties." Empress Zhang pulled Zhu Houwei and said with concern, "Then do you brothers still have silver in their hands, they will have to manage the entire Huangzhuang immediately, they can't do it without silver in their hands, there are still in the palace now, if it's not enough, tell Wei Niang." Hongji immediately clenched his left hand into a fist next to him, put it to his mouth and coughed a few times. Empress Zhang said angrily, "Your father has been in poor health recently, and he often coughs, don't worry about him, the silver in the palace is for my mother." The two brothers Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to, and they endured it very hard, so the little girl didn't have so many scruples, ran to Hongzhi with a smile, and grimaced at Hongzhi. Hongji shook his head, leaned over and pulled the little girl with one hand, pinched her little face with the other, and led the little girl to be coquettish. Zhu Houwei tried his best to become serious, but with a smile in his eyes, he said to Queen Zhang, "No, there are still some in the Qian Zhu Mansion, and in the near future, there will be a large amount of income in the Zhu Mansion and the palace, so don't worry about it." Empress Zhang became interested and asked in a low voice, "Crystal Zhai has something good again?" Zhu Houwei replied with a smile, "My mother is really discerning, but let's not talk about what it is, the three of us want to surprise my father and mother." Empress Zhang smiled and stretched out her index finger, nodded Zhu Houwei's forehead a little harder, and pretended to be angry, "You kid." ”

At this time, Hongji said, "Let's go, take me and your mother to take a look." Then the two brothers Zhu Houzhao were in charge of leading the way, and Hongzhi and Empress Zhang took the little girl's hand and followed behind, walking slowly.

First of all, you will enter the school building, which is about 70 meters long and has 5 classrooms on each floor, as well as an office and toilets. A few people walked into a classroom at random, which was well-lit, and in the sunlight, they could see tiny particles floating in the sunlight. At this time, several people noticed that the windows on the north and south sides of the classroom were not window paper of this era, but large pieces of flat glass, hanging between the card slots, and could move back and forth. The doors of the classrooms on the south side of the building are on the north side and the doors of the north classrooms are on the south side, and each classroom has a front and back door, with 6 windows on one side and 10 windows on the other wall.

Hongji played for a while and asked, "How much does such a window cost?" Zhu Houwei immediately replied, "Except for labor, two pieces of glass cost 1 tael of silver." Hongji's face was pale, he first "hummed", then rubbed his brows with his right hand, and said calmly, "I usually review and review the folds, but after a long time, this eye can't stand it." Zhu Houzhao immediately said, "Change, the child will ask someone to replace the windows of the imperial study with glass today, so that the room will be much brighter, and Daddy's eyes will not be easy to feel uncomfortable." Hongji didn't make a sound, and the expression on his face was still calm and serious. Zhu Houwei said flatteringly at this time, "Daddy, the child is going to replace all the windows of the entire palace with glass, anyway, it won't cost much, the money will come out of the Zhu Mansion, this is a piece of filial piety for the three of us, and I ask Daddy to agree." Hongzhi said lightly "um", and then his face slowed down, but he bared his teeth again, Zhu Houzhao's brothers didn't see it, only the little girl covered her mouth and snickered, she saw that Queen Zhang twisted Hongzhi's arm just now.

There are more than 30 sets of tables and chairs in the classroom, the table is a small long table, there are two special spaces for books under the table, and behind the table is a bench, this set of tables and chairs is for two people. In front of the classroom is a solid cement platform made of cement mats 30 cm above the ground, and in the middle of the platform is a podium. In front of the podium is a blackboard about 1.5 meters high and almost as long as the width of a classroom. There is also a 10 cm slot under the blackboard on which a blackboard eraser is placed.

Several people stood on the cement platform, and Hongji walked to the podium, put his hands on the platform, and looked at the entire classroom clearly. Hongji couldn't help but nodded, looked back at the blackboard, tapped it with his hand, and asked, "What's so particular about this board?" Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and opened the drawer of the podium, took out a box of white cylinders, took out one, and said with a smile, "This is chalk, which is specially used with this blackboard." Saying that, he wrote the words "Chaoyang Yuan" on the blackboard, and then picked up the blackboard to erase, and before he could wipe it, he heard Hongzhi say a little angrily, "After reading the book for so many years, how can this calligraphy not grow, as the saying goes, 'the word is like its person,' the word is your other face, and if the word is not written well, it will be despised." Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say stupidly, "The child has been taught, and he will work hard to learn calligraphy in the future." Hongji snorted and said nothing. Only then did Zhu Houzhao erase the words he had just written with a blackboard eraser, very hard.

Hongzhi and Empress Zhang's eyes lit up, and then one of them took out one from the chalk box and wrote it on the blackboard. The two Zhu Houzhao brothers knew about Hongzhi's calligraphy, which was definitely superior, but Empress Zhang surprised them. Queen Zhang had never shown her hands before, but she didn't expect that Queen Zhang was also very proficient in calligraphy, and the most important thing was that Queen Zhang's calligraphy was different from the graceful and gentle of ordinary women, but in her calligraphy it was majestic, and there were muscles and bones between the strokes.

The two of them each wrote a poem or two, and then wiped it with a blackboard, and sure enough, it was the same as Zhu Houzhao, and it was gone after wiping, which made the two of them very curious. At this time, Zhu Houwei quietly pulled the little girl aside, bent down and whispered in her ear, "See, mother's calligraphy, poetry, and female embroidery are all proficient, such women can dominate the house, and husbands can love and respect, you have to learn something!" When the little girl heard this, she immediately nodded, looking at Zhu Houwei very firmly. Zhu Houwei also looked at his sister with relief, only to hear two low and angry middle-aged man's thick coughs behind him, and then his ears hurt, Zhu Houwei turned his head and saw Queen Zhang's cheeks slightly red, twisted his ears in shame, and said in a low voice, "You kid, what nonsense, what should I do if I teach my son badly?" Zhu Houwei had no choice but to beg for mercy, "Don't dare, don't dare, let my mother let me go, my ears are going to come down." Empress Zhang then said, "I will spare you this time, and there will be no next time." Hiroshi pretended to be very calm, "Let's go, let's go and look somewhere else." With that, she walked out of the classroom first, and Queen Zhang pulled the little girl to follow closely behind. Zhu Houzhao stood next to Zhu Houwei at this time and said with a wicked smile: "You can't say it in another place, this classroom is so empty, I can hear it clearly from the farthest away from you." Haha, it's rare that you will also be embarrassed, today is really a good day, hahaha" Zhu Houwei was annoyed and ashamed, punched quickly with his left hand, punched Zhu Houzhao in the stomach a little harder, and then ran towards Hongzhi and them. Zhu Houzhao didn't feel pain, but he laughed just now and choked all of a sudden. coughed a few times, and immediately chased after him to take revenge, but when he got to Hongzhi's side, this revenge could not be avenged, and in front of Hongzhi, the two did not dare to fight.

Then the group went to visit the empty dormitory, the canteen, and the largest building in Chaoyangyuan, the library. The library is in the northeast corner of Chaoyang Courtyard, 200 meters long, 100 meters wide, there are three floors, there are many bookshelves inside, there are calligraphy and paintings in the basic palace, there are copies here, even if it is a famous long scroll, Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map" in the Song Dynasty also has a copy of the painter of the Ministry of Industry here, there are about 10 tens of thousands of books of all kinds, all of which are classified and neatly placed on the shelves. Even when Hongji and Empress Zhang entered the library, they couldn't help but admire. Rows of brand-new books smell of ink, and sunlight shines through the glass windows to illuminate the entire library. There are still several large paintings of the word "Jing" hanging on the wall, and even though there are only Hongji and his party now, the voice of the voice involuntarily lowers.

The books here not only include Confucian classics, celebrity commentaries, lyrics and songs, but also agricultural books, medical skills, music scores, astronomy and geography, which is different from the Ming Dynasty Academy. There is a large counter at the entrance of each floor, and students of Chaoyang Academy can register and borrow books with their student ID cards, and then return them on time without damaging the books.

Chaoyang Yuan has innovated many things in the Ming Dynasty, which made Hongzhi and Empress Zhang sigh. It was almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon before the group was satisfied with the march to the palace.
