The sun had just risen, and there was already a sea of people in front of Taixue. The originally empty square was filled with all kinds of horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and even donkey carts, as if the entire capital had come to Taixue.

After the expansion of Taixue, the gate alone is two zhang high. The gate of white marble is white and solemn, and the word Taixue is written on a black background in the middle of the gold, which is written by Sun Chengzong himself. There are two lines of words written on the white marble pillars on both sides, which are that knowledge is power, and if you are backward, you will be beaten. The two-line silver hook iron painting is from everyone's hand at a glance.

For young people who are full of thirst for knowledge, this gate is the legendary Dragon Gate. As for them, they are the carp that want to cross the dragon gate.

The voices of calling friends and calling each other brothers and sisters are endless, and vendors with baskets around their necks are constantly squeezing through the crowd. These people get up early to hurry, and fritters are best eaten. A big basket of fritters turned into a lot of copper brothers in a short time.

If you want to eat a little better, the pergola is underneath the distance. There are small stalls with tables and chairs, tofu brains, gruel and even bean juice for sale. A few of the men were so busy that they didn't even have time to catch their breath, and the bowls in the bamboo basket were almost stacked on the roof.

"Brother, I always feel that my tiger baby can't pass the exam. He has been good at martial arts since he was a child, and he can't learn the ability to dance and ink. ”

"Dude! You don't know this, students who graduate from Taixue can directly enter the army military academy in Shanhaiguan to study. I heard that after three years of study, I will be able to become a company commander. Listen, it's the company commander of the Liao Army, not the company commander of the garrison, and he has a lot of authority. ”

"Really! It's a pity that my baby's body is not strong. I don't want him to go to war, the soldiers are in danger, my family is just this root! ”

"If you don't want to go to a military school, you can go somewhere else. There is the Agricultural Research Institute, the Mechanical Research Institute, the Medical College and the Geography Institute. I've heard that the most popular one is called the Electricity Academy. But it is not easy to go to that academy and need to investigate the ancestors of the eight generations. Only innocent children can enter and study there.

But there is gossip that after graduating from the School of Electricity. That's the ...... of the first year's salary! ”

"How much?"

"Two hundred silver coins a month, obediently, buy a courtyard house in a good part of the capital for three thousand silver coins. If you work for three years, you can buy a family business in the capital. ”

"As long as you can pass the test, you can't get any worse. The books that children read now are not the Baguwen that used to be read by the old men. I don't even recognize those strange symbols. I heard that it is the knowledge of big food, and it is extremely convenient to count.

My family's account office is now pulling up the abacus, and it is not as good as my children's work. ”

"The children have been studying for six years, and they can basically read and write. Do some arithmetic, and they all come with their mouths open. Thanks to the handsome, otherwise I would have been a chaseman. There has not been a literate hyphenated person in the family for eight lifetimes, and now there is a child who can live like this, it is really the ancestral tomb that is smoking. ”

"It can be regarded as a good policy of the handsome, the children did not learn those useless eight-strand texts, and now the things they learn are very useful. Sometimes when he goes to the street to buy vegetables, he understands it better than Lao Tzu. Sometimes he doesn't ask Lao Tzu questions, where the hell does Lao Tzu understand.

Ay......! Angry with the individual! ”

"This stubble kid, it's a good time."

"I couldn't mix it up with chewing before, but now I ......"

The side door of Taixue was wide open, and sixteen heavily armed soldiers held large eight-grain rifles, the bayonets on which gleamed in the morning sun. Everyone waited, and none of them dared to step on the steps of white marble. Only students with admission tickets are allowed to enter, and others who venture in will definitely be killed on the spot.

Daming's current atmosphere is very good, the rules are all clearly there, and whoever violates the rules will be punished. As long as you do things within the rules, you will be allowed to live as comfortably as a swimming fish.

Today is the day when Xiong Cixu shows his authority, a month ago he was still in the distant Western Regions with Li Hao, turning out the dried corpses of Xiaohe Cemetery, and a month later today. He actually became the sacrificial wine of Taixue, and he suddenly became a high position at a young age, and the strangeness of his life was unparalleled.

Xiong Cishu wears a pair of black trousers and a white half-sleeved shirt on his upper body. A fountain pen is stuck in his left breast pocket, and the sword-like clip is exposed.

Standing behind him were the assistants that Li Xiao personally helped him choose, and these were the best grassroots classrooms. Some of them were former storytellers, and some were cultural instructors who had retired from the Liao army. There are some, and they are even the big ones who have retreated from the Liao army. Although he is a big old man, he is literate after being educated by the Liao Army literacy class.

Xiong Cixu glanced up at the sun, and then took out his pocket watch to check the time. walked to the microphone and shouted loudly: "Heaven testifies, I will be fair and unbiased." As a lesson from the thick soil, I will do it equally.

It doesn't matter if you are the son of an official eunuch or from a poor family. It doesn't matter if you're a master or self-taught. As long as you have excellent grades, you can enter our Tai School.

This is my vow of learning! If there is any disobedience, men and God will forsake it. ”

Every time Xiong Cishu recites a sentence, the rest of the people follow suit. The celebrant of the Ministry of Rites shouted in a long voice: "Enter the examination room!" ”

The four strong men pushed open the gate of Taixue, slipped ten rows of tables, and began to receive candidates who entered the school with admission tickets in hand.

Each candidate has a number on their admission ticket, and they can find their own examination room according to the number. Even the exam number was pasted on the table in advance. Most of the thirteen or fourteen-year-old candidates are very sensible. When they walk in front of the gentlemen, they will bow down. Candidates from the same examination room gathered together and were guided into the examination room by two Liao soldiers.

"The law is strict! Such a big thing is handled in an orderly manner, and the bear you recommended is really good. Sun Chengzong, who was watching from a distance, nodded.

"At a young age, to be able to have such an ability to coordinate the overall situation, the future is limitless." Zhang Huangyan also nodded.

can get the comments of these two old foxes, and it is quite positive, Li Xiao is also very happy, and a hat that knows people is properly worn on his head.

"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles! Over the years, Xiong Cixu has followed the fourth child of my family and traveled all over the nine northern provinces. The journey is not more than ten thousand miles. The meritorious deeds made are difficult for a Taixue sacrificial wine to be rewarded! ”

"Walking through the nine provinces on foot, exploring and building railways for my Ming Dynasty, a Taixue sacrificial wine is a little out of his hands." Sun Chengzong sighed.

"This son is still young, and after a few years of training here, it's not too late to reuse it."

"These are all afterwords, six years! finally waited for this batch of students to graduate, and all the ignorant children have now become little gentlemen who can write and calculate. Now this exam will determine who among them will continue their studies.

If they pass the exam, many of them will study in Taixue for another three years. After three years, there will be another big exam, and after the exam, the children will study for another three years according to their own interests.

They will be the pillars of my future Ming Dynasty, and only by continuously cultivating talents can I stand on the top of the world's nation. ”

"Huh! Good! If the old man can live so long, I want to see how far my Daming will develop. In the past, you said that iron can float on the sea, and we already have ironclad ships. You also said that iron can fly in the sky, and the old man is waiting for that day. Sun Chengzong smiled and watched a team of candidates rush in, his eyes full of love.

"Yes! As long as there is a steady stream of talents, we will have that day. ”

Xiong Cilu found the three people standing here, and immediately trotted all the way over, but was just about to give a salute but was stopped by Li Xiao.

"Look at your Taixue! 300,000 silver coins, you can't just look like it. For this money, Mr. Sun's fingers almost pierced Ai Husheng's head. Li Xiao waved his hand, the three of them came to see Taixue today. The capital is Taixue, which is considered an institution of higher learning. A place that school-age children all over the capital want to enter.

"What a pity! Mr. is not enough, I really want to set up such a school in Jinan, Jinzhou and even the whole country. Children who have just entered school are called elementary schools, and now they can be called middle schools. In the future, there will be universities. There is no end to learning, and there is no end to research. In the future, the state should earmark funds for the development and research of various disciplines. ”

"Don't be whimsical, you kid, money isn't something you can conjure up as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip."

"If I can't change it, I'll take the soldiers overseas to rob it."

"You're a living bandit!"

Li Xiao supported Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Huangyan followed behind. Xiong Cishu carefully leads the way ahead! These three can be regarded as the soul of the Ming Dynasty today, and a word can make you soar, or a word can make you fall into hell.

Don't dare to offend!

"Let these children grow up quickly, and now they are asking the old man everywhere for help. But the old man can't change people! A few days ago, Li Yongfang suddenly arrested a large number of people. The old man asked him for a theory, and as a result, he came up with solid evidence to prove that these people were in contact with foreign countries and sold the information of the Ming Dynasty to Wu Sangui. Even, many people are willing to leak information to the British without taking money.

Ay......! I really don't understand, and they are all people who read the books of sages, why don't they understand the truth that the family and the country are one, and there is no home without a country. Sun Chengzong looked at the candidates who were concentrating on answering the questions, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"If you read the books of the sages, you may not know the truth of the unity of the family and the country. They prefer allegiance to their own teachers or parties than to the state. Whether it is the year of Chongzhen or the year of Longwu, which year is not the party in the court, the party in the party, and the faction in the faction.

When the imperial court issued a decree, they did not care whether the decree was urgent for the needs of the country. They only care if the decree comes from the hand of a party member! As long as they are in the same party, no matter how absurd and unscrupulous, they must support it. As long as it is proposed by a hostile party, it will inevitably be the party that is united with the outside world.

In recent years, the imperial court abolished the imperial examination. In both urban and rural areas, primary schools have been set up to teach children to read and write. Those eight-strand essays in the past have been abandoned, and those who are ready to eat for a lifetime are of course unwilling to rely on an eight-strand essay to mix things. Zhang Huangyan stroked his beard, he was also the wave that was hit back then, he knew too well what was going on with the party and fighting against differences.

"I think they just hate the Kuomintang! They don't care if Da Ming is good or not, what they care about is their own glory and wealth. No wonder they always say that their home is the world, and they always put their home in front of their interests. In fact, they are putting themselves at the forefront.

I am familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, but I have only raised such a group of exquisite egoists.

In the future, we should publicize more things about the country and the nation in primary and secondary schools. It is necessary to let the children know that serving the motherland and rejuvenating the nation is the most glorious thing. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! We must do a good job in patriotic education so that children will love this country. In this way, Daming will become better. ”

A few people walked around the campus, this time to study for the exam. All of them are the best in each primary school after the preliminary examination, and the total number of students has reached more than 1,300. Only half of them were able to stay in school, leaving the rest to fend for themselves.

However, the children are literate and hyphenated, and after a few years of education, they are proficient in arithmetic. It is naturally easy to find a way out, not to mention that many of them will stay in school as teachers and teach their own knowledge.

There are a lot of trees planted in the school, but these trees are small saplings. Seeing such a scene, Zhang Huangyan smiled helplessly: "The new painting of the tree house is not ancient, this person must be the Internal Affairs Office." ”

This thing can't be pretended, and it can't be smashed with money.

"Huh! It's funny, but it's not bad. Xiong Cixu, don't turn this place into an internal affairs office. If so, none of us will spare you. Sun Chengzong stared at Xiong Cixu, his eyes burning like a tiger.

"Mr. Sun, over the years, the fourth master and I have traveled all over the nine northern provinces. The boy was well aware of the suffering and ignorance of the Li people, and many people were sick and ignorant and went to ask the gods and witches, but they were delayed and died in pain. It's not that they don't want to see a doctor, it's because there are no doctors in those places. They can only hope for gods and Buddhas!

The imperial court set up such a school in order to provide talents to all walks of life. Let those who build roads build roads, let those who build bridges build bridges, and let those who can heal people heal people.

In today's situation, the imperial court can be said to need talents everywhere, and talents are urgently needed everywhere. The kid will definitely concentrate on cultivating talents for the country, but ...... The kid had a reluctant request. Xiong Ci paused and said.

"Oh! I also talked about the conditions, said. Today, as long as you have a point, we will listen to you. Sun Chengzong was interested, he really wanted to hear what this insightful boy had to say.

"Cultivating talents requires years of investment and dedication, and it is absolutely impossible to pull out the seedlings to help them grow. The kid implored a few people, even if they needed talents, they should wait until these students had completed three years of study before transferring. Otherwise, ......, children will regret for the rest of their lives if they do not lay a good foundation at the most suitable age for learning. ”

Li Xiao, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Huangyan glanced at each other.

"Interesting boy, as you wish."
