Although it will take time to build a school, the streets and alleys have already begun to talk about this grand event to benefit the people.

And those people who went to build the school, in order to let the children go to school as soon as possible, they worked hard and hard, and the school that originally took half a year to build was built in only five months with the efforts of the people.

The construction period was shortened by one month!

Xia Jingnian was very surprised by the unity and enthusiasm of the people, since the school has been built, and the husband has already found it, so that the school can start!

On the day of the school registration, almost all the people in the capital came, there were too many people who signed up, but the places in the school were limited, and for a while, these officials didn't know what to do.

I can only write down the names and addresses of the children, and when the time comes, I will wait for Xia Jingnian to make a holy decree and send someone to inform them one by one.

In the palace, Xia Jingnian was at a loss for this matter, he didn't expect that there would be so many people who signed up for school for their children.

Fengluan Palace, Ji Qiang listened to the report of the subordinates, and sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid that the emperor will worry again." ”

"Yes, Niangniang, go and have a look." Leng Xiang said next to him.

Throne room.

Ji Qiang poured Xia Jingnian a cup of ginseng tea, "Are you worried about the school?" ”

"Yes, the people who have children at home have basically signed up, and these officials don't know what to do, and the ways they think of are all favoritism, but I'm afraid that the people will complain at that time." Xia Jingnian sighed deeply, this matter has been arguing in the court all morning, and there is no good way.

Xia Jingnian was afraid that instead of solving the problem, the people would be dissatisfied, and when the time came, it would backfire, so it would be better not to build this school.

"It's easy to do, we just need to set a standard." As early as on the way here, Ji Qiang had already thought of a way.

Set a standard? Xia Jingnian didn't understand.

"Under the age of six, you can't go to the free school." Ji Qiang's only one sentence made Xia Jingnian like an initiation.

The age of the princes is also about six years old, children at this age can understand the knowledge that Mr. said, and can do it, and the little hands also have the strength to hold the pen, relatively speaking, six years old is the best time for children to receive knowledge.

"I'll have those ministers come over and count how many children under the age of six there are!" Xia Jingnian couldn't wait to tell them about such a Qiaozong and let them hurry up.

Before her father-in-law walked away, Ji Qiang hurriedly stopped, "Your Majesty, the concubine hasn't finished talking yet." ”

"Children over the age of 10 can go to a free school for a year first, and at that time the children already have their own ideas about whether they want to go to school or not. If you want to continue studying, you can study the remaining two years of free school, which are the same as other children. ”

Xia Jingnian praised Ji Qiang's method again and again, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to do it.

A third of the children under the age of six came to sign up, and these children went down, which can be said to greatly reduce the burden on the school.

The rest of the children are 10 years old. Children over the age of 10 go to school in the morning, and children under the age of 10 go to school in the afternoon.

In this way, the school can accommodate the children, and the gentlemen can be relatively relaxed, so that the gentlemen will not be tired.

Children can also help their parents at home so that they don't go without seeing people all day.

After all, in addition to going to school, they still have to live. Some families only rely on their parents to do their work, and their lives are stretched. All right

Because of the free school, Quan Dachen gave rise to the theory of the usefulness of reading, and many smart children also had the opportunity to study hard and make up their minds to serve the country.

"By the way, Your Majesty, the concubines have a way, and they still want to discuss with the emperor." Fengluan Palace, during dinner, Ji Qiang told Xia Jingnian about her previous thoughts.

"The concubine thought, if this literary hall is there, should there also be a martial arts hall?" Ji Qiang also thought of it suddenly. Since there are children who like to learn knowledge and want to be civil officials in the future, there are naturally children who like martial arts and want to be a general in the future.

These children wield wooden sticks on weekdays and play well, but it is a pity that there is no master to teach them.

If you can build a martial arts hall like the Literature Hall, will you be able to contribute many generals who can fight well to the imperial court in the future?

Xia Jingnian's eyes were bright, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Ji Qiang, "The queen's method is very good, so this matter will be checked by the queen herself, okay?" ”

The martial arts hall followed the method of the previous literature hall, and the construction of the school was participated by the common people, and it was free to study for three years.

The rise of the civil and military academy has made the country present a thriving scene.

At this time, the triennial tea art competition is about to begin. Tea art is Ji Qiang's hobby, and for this reason, she prepares every day in the Fengluan Palace.

Except for the early greetings of the concubines every day, the rest of the visits were never seen, just to allow Ji Qiang to concentrate on preparing for the tea art competition.

"Hmph, just by virtue of her, she still wants to win the championship in the tea art competition? Dream on! In the Beauty Pavilion, Liu Rou listened to the information found out by the maid and sneered.

"That beauty, you also have to show your housekeeping skills, but you must not be compared to the queen mother." Liu Rou had already lost once before, which directly led to Xia Jingnian never going to her Beauty Pavilion again.

Except for the fifteenth day of the first month and the concubines of the palace to ask the emperor and queen for peace, she did not have a chance to talk to Xia Jingnian alone once.

Listening to the maid's words, Liu Rou snorted coldly, "Do you still need to say this?" ”

The maid brought out the tea set that had been prepared a long time ago, and said in a low voice: "The slave maid invited a tea master for you, and she has entered the palace in the form of a little eunuch, do you want to see the beauty?" ”

"Of course! Please come in! Liu Rou had a happy look on her face. Although she is inspired to compare Ji Qiang to the bottom, she doesn't know anything about tea art, so she doesn't know where to start if she is asked to practice.

The master hurried in and knelt down to greet Liu Rou.

Liu Rou hurriedly picked up the master, "I'm really wronged by the master, come to teach an apprentice, and turn into a eunuch." ”

The master smiled and said: "If you can teach the tea art of the lady in the palace, why not turn into a eunuch?" It is an honor to be old! ”

During this time, Liu Rou also closed her door and seized all the time to practice tea art.

Although she was practicing tea art, she did not give up Xia Jingnian at all.

As soon as she got out of class, she would go to the Jinluan Hall to find Xia Jingnian and send some food from the small kitchen, or the tea she had just learned from the master, just to gain his favor.

However, nine times out of ten, the father-in-law at the door shirked it, saying that Xia Jingnian was not in the Jinluan Palace.

It's okay to arrive once or twice, but after a long time, Liu Rou became dissatisfied.

Thankfully, it's almost time to show off her talents!
