Time passed quickly, and as the textbooks were swept away, all the students couldn't help but devote themselves to the study of these textbooks.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Soon it will be time for the new year's children's exam.

The children's examination, that is, the qualification examination for participating in the imperial examination era, was called the state and county examination in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the county examination in the Ming and Qing dynasties, including the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination.

The imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty continued to improve and develop on the basis of the Song Dynasty, and the system was very perfect, the scale was also larger, and the number of people participating in the imperial examination increased greatly.

By the time of the Yongle period, the number of children in the Ming Dynasty had exceeded more than 400,000.

At this moment, the various county offices have already been crowded.

And this time, the questions of the children's test have also been sent to all parts of the country.

That's right, the exam questions were directly issued by the Ming Dynasty, escorted by Jinyiwei, and supervised by Dongchang.

to prevent problems.

As a first attempt, it was undoubtedly a success, and there was no leakage of the exam questions.

Soon the county test passed, followed by the government test and the hospital test.

When the end of the year has come, this time there are more than 600,000 candidates, but the number of people who are finally admitted exceeds all the usual people, reaching a total of more than 30,000 people, which is incredible.

Of course, this is also normal, to be qualified to read, there is no stupid person in this era.

The general qualifications are okay.

And this time, what Daming needs is not elites, but only talents with universal education, so the proportion of admissions is naturally much higher.

And with these 30,000 people, Xia Yuanji also began to make drastic reforms.

The first is Liangjing.

Kyoto and Oten.

Naturally, it is impossible for a mere 30,000 people to do so directly throughout the country.

Daming's execution is not so strong.

Natsuhara's plan is to spread in points.

Next, the imperial examination will be held every year, and the admission will be carried out every year, plus those who graduate from the academy can directly act as tutors, and it will not take ten years to spread to the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.

So when the spring breeze that took fourteen years fell on the earth.

Kyoto, Yingtian, suddenly changed.

1,000 new schools were added directly to the two locations, and all children between the ages of six and twelve must be compulsorily enrolled, and the schools provided food and all supplies without the responsibility of the individual, and no one could stop them.

Well, no one stood in the way either.

If you are over the age of twelve, there may be some objections, after all, this is a labor force.

However, it is over six years old, under twelve years old, these children can only consume food, but can not provide enough labor, at this moment Daming not only teaches, but also can provide meals, how to choose is needless to say.

At this moment, the population of Liangjing, especially Yingtian, has already exploded after decades of governance by Lao Zhu.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu (1393), there were 163915 households and 1193620 people, and when they reached the Yongle period, the population further increased, and the number of hidden households exceeded at least more than 1.2 million.

With a population of one million, the number of newborns per year is a terrifying number, in fact, Yingtian has been saturated, and the so-called "there is no gap in the city, and the market must be built outside the city gates."

Of the 1,000 newly built schools, Yingtian occupied 700, and these 700 were only less than three days, and the number of students enrolled had exceeded 100,000.

Of course, these people who have passed the county examination are not directly awarded official positions, but only agents, and if they can pass the assessment in the next year, they can naturally become regulars, and if they fail, they can continue to stay in office, but they will not have official positions.

However, even this has increased the number of teachers from 30,000 to 100,000, and with 100,000 people, this kind of development can continue.

However, this consumption is also extremely terrifying, but in just three months, the consumption of silver has exceeded tens of millions of taels.

That's right, it's tens of millions of taels.

If such a value is placed before the twelfth year of Yongle, it is enough to make Xia Yuanji jump to his feet, you must know that the year before the twelfth year of Yongle, the annual financial income was only less than 30 million stone grain. According to the conversion of silver at that time, it was about 15 million taels.

At this moment, three months have spent a year's financial revenue from the national treasury, which is simply terrifying, but at this moment, it seems that it is really just sprinkling water, and it has almost no impact on the entire Ming Dynasty.

Daming is still Daming, and even because of a large amount of money sprinkled in, Nanjing and Kyoto have begun to prosper.

After all, to build a school, you need labor, the school needs to recruit miscellaneous laborers, and you need materials for procurement, which gradually flow into the people, so that the people's commodity economy is further prosperous.

The development of the commodity economy also began to drive the development of the two capitals.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Kyoto.

After all, compared to the prosperity of Yingtian, Kyoto did not develop to a certain extent until Yongle moved the capital.

But it's just a little less deserted, and it's not prosperous.

It is also difficult for Kyoto to prosper.

However, with the establishment of one school after another, a large amount of money and food was sprinkled, and the whole of Kyoto undoubtedly quietly changed.

This is almost visible to the naked eye.

And the entire Ming Dynasty also seems to have entered a new chapter in this situation.

In the Taihe Palace.

Zhu Di looked at the pieces in front of him, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

"I didn't expect that spending money could make the people rich!"

Zhu Di chuckled and spoke.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"According to this law, it will only take a hundred years, and my Ming Dynasty will be famous through the ages, and it will be the foundation of eternity!"

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but sigh and speak.

He really didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would be able to take out tens of millions of taels without blinking.

"Hahaha, Xia Yuanji, you did a good job this time!"

"Then the matter will be left to you, as for the money, you don't have to worry, everything is enough on my side to be satisfied."

Zhu Di's smile became more and more intense.

For other emperors, it is probably impossible to agree to such a huge amount of money, but for Zhu Di, this is not a problem at all.

As long as he can achieve great things, then all sacrifices are necessary.

Not to mention the money.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xia Yuanji nodded excitedly.

And when Daming was in full swing to implement education, the Great Song Dynasty also quietly entered a new chapter.

At this moment, Da Song has completely gained a firm foothold in Los Angeles.

In a few months, a simple city had been erected.

Hundreds of thousands of people have already begun to work with a clear division of labor.

The basic system has been restored.

Facing Jiang Chen's words, Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie also took action.
