"Old Port Elementary." The first thing Zhu Gaoxu saw was the Old Port Primary School.

His wives must know that they must be crying, so far away, and there are a lot of people in the local area.

Jiugang Primary School has been in its second year, and it was originally intended to eliminate the local indigenous script and culture, and to promote all the use of Chinese characters.

Until now, the local primary school has ten classes and more than 1,000 students.

Among them, the children of the Han people account for more than half, and the Yue people, the local natives, and other people account for about half.

Including the sons of the Zhu Yunwen brothers, they are all studying there.

"Let Zhanqi go to the old port." Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: "Wait for the establishment of a middle school in Jiaozhi next year and move Jiaozhi." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Who are his parents?"

Mao Xin immediately handed over a bunch of information: "My father is a merchant Song Dewen, and the ancestor of the Song family fled to Champa (now Saigon) at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and later moved to the old port to follow Chen Zuyi. ”

"After Chen Zuyi surrendered, the Song family took refuge in Daming and continued to do business in the local area and operate a rice shop."

Jin Yiwei and Song Dewen have been in contact for many years, and during the war, the Song family's sea ships also helped the King of Han transport grain and grass, and the relationship was quite good.

Now Mao Xin thought that his children and nephews needed to be taken care of, so he asked Zhu Zhanqi to change his name to Song Qi, worship Song Dewen as his father-in-law, and go to primary school in Jiugang.

In addition, the eldest son Zhu Zhanyan is in Hangzhou Primary School, and his father is a local nine-grade petty official, who changed his surname to Qin.

The third son, Zhu Zhancheng and Zhu Min'er, are still together, in Xi'an Primary School, their father is a local salt merchant, and their surname is Zhou.

Even their mothers did not know where their children were.

That night, Zhu Gaoxu asked Miao Guifei to sleep again.

Miaojin couldn't help but ask: "In the future, when my Zhan Yuan grows up, will I also go out to school?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "In the future, all primary and secondary schools across the country will be built, and they will not go too far. ”

Miao Jin asked, why is this so? She was obviously reluctant either.

She is already a relatively enlightened woman in the Ming Dynasty, but she is still a mother's love.

No matter how smart a woman is, when she encounters things with her children, it will always be different.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while: "Only when you have to suffer hardship can you become a master." ”

"Why does Gao Xu always have to do something different from the emperors of the previous dynasty?" Miao Jin sighed.

"Because the previous dynasties are dead." Zhu Gaoxu said.

“。。” Miaojin was speechless.

After Wei Mo'er returned to her palace, she immediately wrote a letter to her father Wei Da, wanting to ask where her son would be sent.

Wei Da is the commander of Zhejiang, and he is quite far from here, and he travels by water, and he has a reply to the palace in less than six days.

Wei Da replied and scolded Wei Mo'er, asking her daughter to obey His Majesty's arrangement, his son is fine wherever he goes, and His Majesty will definitely protect her.

The children are all eleven years old, and they are still in the palace and have not gone out, so they want to go outside to hone their skills.

He also said that he followed his father to the battlefield at the age of fourteen.

Wei Mo'er took the letter and cried again.

Sun Ruonan is smarter and found his eldest brother Sun Heng.

Sun Heng is the left attendant of the military department, and after seeing his sister, he also said the same thing, listen to His Majesty's arrangement, don't make trouble, don't let too many people know.

Sun Ruonan asked, how many places in Daming have primary schools now?

Of course Sun Heng didn't know, so he could only say that I would ask.

Now the school is under the management of the Ministry of Education and Technology, but Shen Ji has not come back yet, and Sun Heng is not familiar with Shen Jun and Wang Li.

He asked someone to ask Shen Jun, and Shen Jun said, now there are twenty counties in Daming that are already working on it in advance.

Twenty counties were reported.

Sun Ruonan is also a ruthless person, begging the eldest brother to send someone to these twenty counties to investigate, at least to know where his son is, right?

Sun Heng had no choice but to agree, but he was bitter in his heart, some places were in Dayuan, and some were in Dajiugang, so it was not easy to do.

In March of the fourth year of Hongxi, the princes left the palace one after another, Wei Mo'er cried and grabbed the ground, she especially didn't understand, why did her daughter go out?

At first, no one in the court knew about it, after all, most people had never seen these princes.

In May, news finally came out that His Majesty's eldest children had left the palace, but no one knew where they had gone.

The courtiers were in an uproar, and some people persuaded the emperor with the importance of social welfare.

Zhu Gaoxu was furious: "How old am I? I will live for at least another fifty years, and you want to join the new emperor so much? ”

The ministers did not dare to speak out for a moment.

In May, Shen Ji returned, the Ministry of Education and Science and Technology officially appeared, and there was one more cabinet member.

Zhu Gaoxu's commercial department is also ready for everything, and it is almost about to be formed.

——

Time back to Hangzhou in March.

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, a wave of people on the royal street headed north.

This is the street where the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial City used to be, and to the north is the ruins of the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial City.

The year before last, the Hangzhou government split the school into two, divided into primary school and middle school, the prefect at that time was Li Youzhi, after he did this, he moved the Ministry of Industry to the waiter, and then followed Sheng Yong's expedition to the east, after returning, moved to Zhejiang Zuobu political envoy.

Today is the start of the new semester of primary school.

Before the emperor's plan for the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology came out, Hangzhou's primary and secondary schools had similar rules as before, and it cost money to go to school.

So there aren't many students either.

This year, the new policy was implemented, and on the first day of registration today, there was a flood of people on the royal street, and many ordinary people in the city also brought their children to sign up.

Zhu Gaoxu's eldest son, Zhu Zhanyu, alias Qin Han, was standing with a peer, looking around curiously.

Qin Han looks like his father, he is a little tall, among the eleven-year-old children, he is more obvious, and Mao Xin's son Mao Zhen, who is the same age next to him, is nicknamed Zhao Zhen, who is half a head shorter than him.

Both fathers were behind him.

Qin Han's father's name is Qin Yongxue, the former county lieutenant of Xiaoshan County, Hangzhou Prefecture, and this time he was transferred to Renhe County as the county lieutenant.

Qin Yongxue didn't know that Qin Han was the emperor's eldest son.

I only know that the school is not covered now, and people outside Hangzhou have no place to live if they want to come in to study.

And the Qin family was a merchant and gave him a sum of silver, lived in his house in the name of his son, and studied in Hangzhou.

Qin Yongxue understood the merchants, and the merchants wanted to urgently change their identities, and through the emperor's support for commerce, let their sons study, and become officials in the future.

There are five hundred taels of silver every year, this transaction is too cost-effective, Qin Yongxue thought secretly.

"Father, there are so many people today." Qin Han said at this time.

Qin Yongxue turned his head with a smile, his son Qin Han also knows how to be polite, and he likes it more.

"I knew it was coming late, and I heard that there were seven days to sign up."

"Where's Sister Wan'er?" Qin Han is talking about Qin Yongxue's biological daughter.

Qin Yongxue was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Men and women are not light, primary school men and women are together, Wan'er is still at home for the time being, and her father can teach it personally." ”

Qin Yongxue has a lot of this kind of idea now, so at a glance, most of the school are boys, and there are only a few girls.

If it's a girl, it's definitely a businessman's daughter.

Because the businessmen think that women are useful in reading and can do business in the future, other ordinary people don't think that women are of any use in reading? Either you want to marry an eunuch.

Zhao Zhen's father is a local Jinyi Wei general banner, who lives next door to Qin Yongxue.

Qin Yongxue definitely couldn't have imagined that Jinyiwei deliberately lived next door to his house.

Qin Yongxue doesn't like Jinyiwei yet, but if he can get to know Jinyiwei, he can still accept it, maybe he will ask someone else for something in the future.

So Qin Han and Zhao Zhen became friends (in fact, they knew each other very well as in the capital), and he was still happy to see it.

"Let's go, Lord Qin, go early and come back early." Zhao Songhai, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, shouted at this time.

"Mr. Zhao, please first." Qin Yongxue said politely.

The two men each took their own sons and entered the school from the north.

The north gate of the imperial city of the Southern Song Dynasty is the Hening Gate, which has been repaired, and part of the old city wall has been demolished, and the gate is very large, a bit of the style of later generations.

Qin Yongxue was still shocked when he saw it, this school was very imposing just by looking at the gate.

Once inside, there were some former students guiding them at the door, and there was a large wooden board in front of each of them.

Qin Yongxue and Zhao Songhai looked over and saw that there were different age groups written on it.

"11 years old, fourth grade." Then he pointed in a direction.

Following the instructions, they came to the outside of a large hall, which was supposed to be a former palace and had been renovated.

There was a long row of tables below, and a few gentlemen were registering.

There was a servant on the side, signaling everyone to line up.

When it was their turn, the gentlemen would ask, name, Qin Han, father, Qin Yongxue, and then home address.

After writing it down, a bunch of books were distributed.

Qin Yongxue was also born as a scholar, staring at the books that Qin Han got.

Analects, Mathematics, and World Geography, just three books.

He subconsciously asked, "The school teaches these three subjects?" ”

Another gentleman sitting in front of him looked up: "There are more than three, and there are only these three for the time being." ”

Qin Yongxue muttered in his heart, I can teach the Analects, what is the trick of mathematics and geography?

But he can't control it, Qin and Han can go to school, and his task will be completed.

When they signed up that day, the children stayed.

At this time, Qin Han and Zhao Zhen followed a gentleman to the main hall, there were already many students in it, and there were also in the corridor at the entrance of the main hall, everyone was chatting in groups, and many of them were acquaintances, because they might have signed up with neighbors.

Qin Hanchu took a look, there were almost more than fifty people inside and out, there were quite a lot of people in their class, and there were girls, but only four or five were seen.

The two of them didn't know what to do next, seeing that there were many tables in the hall, and the two of them were still holding books, Qin Han said, "Let's go, find a place to sit down first." ”

Of course Zhao Zhen listened to him, and the two walked into the hall, Qin Han was a little tall, which attracted more attention, and many classmates looked at it.

Qin Han saw what looked like a teacher's lectern in front of him, so he walked to the front of the lectern, found two positions in the third row, and put himself and Zhao Zhen's books on it.

Many children go to school for the first time, and they don't know how to occupy a position, and the best position in the middle is occupied by Qin Han and Zhao Zhen.

The positions are all single, Qin Han and Zhao Zhen are relatively close, and the two are also chatting, but they are both whispering, cautiously saying something in the Jingshi, for fear of being heard by others.

As he was talking, there was a sudden commotion behind him.

"Young Master Qi."

"Young Master Qi."

Qin Han and Zhao Zhen turned around when they heard the voice, and saw a sturdy and tall young man, followed by three or four teenagers, swaggering over.

Then he stopped not far from Qin Han, this Young Master Qi looked left and right, and finally, brushed, and saw that Qin Han's position was the best.

He shook his chin back.

Immediately, someone ran over, and put the three books on Qin Han's table: "Hey, this position belongs to our Young Master Qi, get out." ”
