"The court has passed compulsory education in Kaifeng City."

"The age of defense for men and women has been postponed from seven to nine!"

……………………

All of a sudden, the news of the court quickly spread throughout Kaifeng City, and the entire Kaifeng City suddenly talked about it.

The defense of men and women has always been an ethical defense, and no one thought that the court would postpone the age from seven to nine years old in order to implement compulsory education in the whole city.

"It's nonsense!" A stubborn old master rebuked angrily.

"It's a doctor's push, and medically speaking, there's not much difference between men and women at the age of seven and nine." Someone retorted.

"Yes! Even the law on household marriage has been changed, and there is nothing wrong with postponing the age of marriage by three years, and the prevention of men and women is only two years. Many Kaifeng people spoke up.

It turns out that the doctor does not have much right to speak, and since the doctor's change of law, the doctor's right to speak has gradually increased, and the doctor himself endorses it, and the age of male and female defense has been supported by many people until the age of nine.

In addition, the common people can see that there is almost no difference between men and women aged six and nine years old, except for the difference in height.

The folk customs of the Northern Song Dynasty were still relatively open, and science had not yet become the mainstream, and Fan Zheng's proposal to postpone the age of defense between men and women was quickly accepted by the government and the opposition.

Without the obstacle of male and female defense, the greatest obstacle to compulsory education in the city has disappeared.

"Your Excellency! Kaifeng City has a population of more than one million and nearly 100,000 school-age children. Master Kaifeng said with a wry smile.

"Okay? Wait a minute! Fan Chunli immediately sent someone to send a message to Fan Zheng.

After a while, the subordinate hurried back and brought back Fan Zheng's reply from the Imperial Medical Department.

"You go and ask those private schools if they are willing to change to public schools, their shackles remain unchanged, and their school buildings can be purchased by the government at market prices, or temporarily leased, and then moved out after the government offices and schools are built." Fan Chunli coughed dryly to cover it up and said loudly.

The master's face was strange, and he hurriedly went down to order, but soon encountered a problem again.

"Many private schools are really willing to change to public schools? However, in the past, there was only one master in the private school, but now there are many students suddenly, and there is a large shortage of masters. Master reported again.

"Then recruit immediately, but as long as you are a showman, you can serve as a master in the public school." Fan Chunli frowned.

The master smiled bitterly: "My lord doesn't know, our public school is not high, and many talents are not willing to serve as public school masters. ”

Fan Chunli waved his hand, and the subordinate left in a hurry again, and soon took Fan Zheng's reply.

"Then recruit people and children!" Fan Chunli put down the reply with a calm expression and said loudly.

"Ahh The master couldn't help but change his face, they could still understand the recruitment of children, but Xiucai disliked the low shackles of the master of the public school, and the status of the person was more noble, how could he be willing to serve as the master of the public school.

"The task of public schools is to let children read and write, children are competent enough, as for the lifting of people, most of them are from other places to go to Kaifeng City to participate in the imperial examination, Kaifeng City is not easy, these people in Kaifeng City every day need a lot of expenses."

The master nodded slightly, but he had a deep understanding of the prices in Kaifeng City.

"The master who lifts someone to serve as a public school can not only provide him with a place to stay, but also get a certain amount of money, so that he can prepare for the exam in Kaifeng City for a long time, and the public school can apply for enough masters, and can also use the name of the person to attract students to enroll, isn't it the best of both worlds." Fan Chunli said proudly.

Sure enough, under Fan Zheng's planning, under the powerful resources of Kaifeng Mansion, public schools have sprung up in Kaifeng City like mushrooms after a rain, located in various markets.

Although Kaifeng City is not as neat as the leek ridge in Chang'an City, it still retains a lot of Tang Dynasty style, and is composed of many square markets, and many public schools are built in the square market, which greatly facilitates children's schooling.

In addition, the public school is cheap, close to home, and even more so, the public school has a person from other places to serve as a master, which immediately aroused the popularity of the people of Kaifeng, and they have chosen to send children to the public school. ”

Of course, there are also families who are dissatisfied with the payment of constraints! However, in the face of the threat of fines from the government, they had no choice but to compromise in the end.

When Fan Chunli formulated the fine, he referred to the income of the people at the bottom of Kaifeng City, after all, the tuition fee is not expensive, and the tuition fee for three years does not add up to much more than the fine, and it is also his own child who learns a few more words, so there is not much harm in all.

"It's a big deal, Lao Tzu carries a few more sacks every day! Your three turtle sons have studied in public school, so you won't have to sell coolies like Lao Tzu in the future. The rough-clothed man looked at his three sons behind him and gritted his teeth.

"Yes! Father! The three boys in sequence exclaimed.

The eldest of them is nine years old, and has long passed the age of Mengxue, according to their family, they have no money to go to private school, so they can only watch other children enter school, and now the public school opened in Kaifeng Mansion has given them the opportunity to change their fate.

Kaifeng City's literary style is at its peak, coupled with the birth of Li Qingzhao, the world's first talented woman, the imperial court ordered the age of male and female defense to be postponed from seven to nine years old.

Seeing that there are girls enrolled in school, many enlightened families have also sent their daughters to public schools, although they do not ask girls to take the examination for fame, but they can read and count, and they can also manage the family affairs when they marry in the future.

All of a sudden, a large number of school-age children poured into public schools, and there was no opposition from the general public. Fan Chunli's city-wide compulsory education was a great success.

Fan Chunli was surprised to find that apart from the initial investment in public school classrooms, the government hardly had to spend much money.

With the large increase in the number of students, even a very small number of restraints can afford the master's income, so that the children can be educated, the master can have the means to make a living, and the Kaifeng public school is prosperous.

"Yanai is really a genius!" In Kaifeng Mansion, the master exclaimed sincerely.

This master has been following Fan Chunli since Bozhou, and now he is even higher and has become the master of Kaifeng Mansion, but he has witnessed Fan Zheng's magic, in comparison, his master is simply useless.

"Fan Yanei!"

This is the new title of the evil doctor Fan Zheng Kaifeng City.

Five dynasties and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, there was a noble idle post named the Ya Nei Du Command Envoy, mostly to the children of the official eunuchs, although later withdrawn, this title was continued, and later the children of the official government were the Ya Nei, in order to show the official eunuchs.

The word Yanei is not a good thing in the Great Song Dynasty, there are a few high-ranking officials and nobles in Kaifeng City, and there are countless people who can be called Yanei in the second generation.

However, most of those yamen are lustful dogs and horses, and even do evil, bully men and women, do all kinds of evil, almost people hate the existence of ghosts, and the famous Gao Yanei in later generations is the most typical representative.

And Fan Zheng's title of Fan Yanei is not derogatory, but on the contrary, it is better.

Other Yanei relied on his father's power and acted recklessly, but Fan Yanei was good, but helped his father to achieve a foundation.

Fan Chunli looked proud, and his son not only cheated on his father, but his father also relied on his son.

Everyone in Kaifeng City knows that the real master of Kaifeng Mansion is not Lord Fan of Kaifeng Mansion, but the evil doctor Fan Zhengfan.

If other fathers and sons were like this, the affairs of the government would be decided by the yamen who was sensual and sensual, which would have caused dissatisfaction among the government and the opposition long ago.

However, Fan Zheng interfered in the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion but no one was impeached, after all, everything Fan Zheng did was beneficial to the country and the people, so that Kaifeng City benefited immensely, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of Kaifeng.

For a while, Fan Yanei's title spread far and wide.
