In the academy, several people walked slowly.

Yu Zhenyi asked, "How did this mountain chief know that you came to the academy?"

Xu Yangzhi glanced around and said, "In this academy, there are also formations, just like the Purple Qi Sect. Every time someone comes in, they will be known by the host of the formation, and he is also a monk of the Kaijiang Realm, so he still has this ability. ”

Yu Zhenyi suddenly realized that the sage was sitting in the academy and could know the world.

This mountain chief is still very powerful.

The "mountain chief" is actually the person in charge of the academy, who is a high-ranking and powerful person, and is the core figure of the academy. A great sage defined the mountain chief in his "Notes on Retreating": "The person who holds the academy is called the mountain chief." The chief of the mountain is also known as the dean, also known as the lord of the mountain. ”

The title of the mountain chief is full of wildness and rebellion against the government, which is consistent with the spirit of freedom advocated by the early seowon. This kind of statement, which was not available before, is a new statement of Datang.

Yu Zhenyi feels very fond of it, because Datang is how it should be, heroic and unrestrained.

Those famous academies, without exception, have famous mountain chiefs.

For example, during the reign of Taizong, there was a mountain chief named Zhou Shi in Qilu Academy, who was very good in terms of academics and conduct. When Emperor Taizong found out, he sent someone to take him into the palace, named him the head of the country, and wanted to keep him in the capital. However, Zhou Shi insisted on returning to Qilu Academy, and Zhenzong had no choice but to let him return south. Since then, Qilu Academy has become even more famous.

With highly respected mountain chiefs and teachers, the academy does not have to worry about having no students.

Therefore, the college also sets a high threshold for admission, and there are also written examinations for admission, and the number of students enrolled is limited.

Qilu Academy, "one of the 36 academies in the world", in the early years, had a "fixed number of 20 scholars", and later expanded to 30 people. After the fame of Qilu Academy went out, more and more people came from afar to study, so "don't set up ten additional students to deal with the Quartet study tour", which is equivalent to increasing the number of audit places.

Until now, people come and go, and it is prosperous.

Yu Zhenyi spent some silver to experience the life of the students in the college.

Once enrolled in the College, students are required to abide by a series of rules and regulations of the College.

Taking Qilu Academy as an example, students are first required to wear "uniforms", which are not uniformly customized, but only require dark-colored clothes. The purpose of this is to distinguish students from the general public and to give students a sense of responsibility.

In addition, the college also has a "leave book", "lecture book", "moral book", "food book" and "accommodation book" for students.

Among them, the lecture book records the lectures of the mountain chief, the moral industry book records the students' homework, the food book is used to receive money and rice, and the fasting book is used to receive lamp oil and charcoal. Qilu Academy also stipulates that students may not take leave for more than three months.

Paying homage to the shrine, listening to lectures, and offering classes all need to be registered, and if they are absent three times, they will be "dismissed and represented". This dwelling supply is to stop supplying. The punishment for cutting off money, food, and food for students is really not small.

Yu Zhenyi took Caiyun and ate and drank all the way, and was very happy.

Caiyun was originally a ghost, and in a place like the academy, she might feel uncomfortable, but with the token of the real person of Longhu Mountain, she didn't feel very uncomfortable. In the academy, there were many students passing by who looked at her.

Caiyun looks good, it's really good-looking.

There is also a celestial master charm around him, and he can't tell that it is a ghost at all.

Of course, the most important thing for students is their academics.

Yu Zhenyi took a look, what did the students in the academy learn?

Confucian classics such as "University", "Analects", "Mencius", and "The Mean", Yu Zhenyi bought a copy of everything and planned to read it on the road.

The daily study time of students is divided into four periods: after waking up, after breakfast, in the afternoon, and in the evening, and each period has a prescribed learning task. And there are both self-study, discussion, and Mr. to solve doubts, which is still very good.

In order to check the effectiveness of students' learning, the college also has an examination system, which mainly examines two major aspects: moral conduct and academics. There are three small exams every month, and if you do well, you will be rewarded with material rewards as soon as the results come out, and you will also accumulate points, and you will be upgraded when you accumulate to a certain extent, which is also linked to economic interests.

The assessment criteria for the virtue test are generally determined by the habits of the mountain chief.

For example, when the old mountain lord presided over Qilu Academy, he advocated self-motivation and did not make hard and fast rules.

Ordinary academies, on the other hand, proceeded from a more practical point of view, and made specific provisions for Confucian ethics.

For example, if you do not respect your teachers and parents, you may be punished by being expelled from the academy, and those who seriously violate the rules of the academy and break the ethics of the academy will not only be removed from the academy, but will also report to the official and file a case, and will never be allowed to re-enter the academy.

Yu Zhenyi thinks that this system is very good.

From the very beginning of the birth of the academy, scholars who were full of idealism and enthusiasm wanted to run the academy into a pure land. However, in a collision with reality, they eventually had to give in. Many of the original private academies were gradually "co-opted" by the government.

This kind of co-optation starts with the funds of the college.

The survival and development of the academy is inseparable from funding.

The source of funding for the college mostly depends on the school field. At the beginning of the rise of the academy, private funds for running the academy were mainly provided by private land or land donated by others. However, donations alone cannot meet the needs of the College.

Therefore, when the government began to allocate land to the academy, there was no reason why the academy should not accept it. The number of private academies has shrunk dramatically, and more and more academies have come under the hands of the government.

In Datang, the perennial funds of the academy have been allocated by the government in a lump sum. Academies that enjoy government funding are also lavish in their spending. For example, a certain amount of funding is provided for students who sit for official imperial examinations. If the candidate passes the imperial examination, he will be rewarded richly, and the amount can reach 50 taels of silver.

Not only the students who passed the examination were rewarded, but also the gentlemen of the academy were also rewarded.

In addition to the "official aid", the school-running funds of the college mainly rely on private fund-raising, donations, and the college's income generation and self-raising, among which the income of the "school field" is the main source of school-running funds, and each college will reduce the financial burden of students as much as possible.

In many cases, students studying at the college not only do not need tuition, but also "board and lodging are all included". For example, in Qilu Academy, students "do not need a bunch, they can all be admitted to the hospital". In addition, the academy "wants to set up a study house, anoint fire, and attract people to come to study, so as to cultivate widely".

The so-called "anointing fire" is the cost of students during their studies, which is commonly known as "maintenance fee". "Anointing Fire" was originally used to subsidize students in need, but it has been widely distributed when it is actually used, and students have a share. or give two pieces of money, or grain, or both of money.

Most of the students cultivated by the academy are the pillars of "self-cultivation, family unity, governing the country, and leveling the world", so the requirements for students are extremely strict. In terms of work and rest time, regardless of winter and summer, the first drum at 5 o'clock in the morning, the second drum at 5:30 o'clock, and the third drum at 6 o'clock in the morning.

In order to enable students to "study hard and make progress every day", the college also has a reward system. There are many forms of rewards, including spiritual encouragement and material stimulation, such as monthly class rewards and point upgrades. There are also so-called "reward money" and "bonus money".

The distinction between rewards and punishments is one of the basic rules of the College. Students who do not study hard and do not restrain their words and deeds in the college will also be severely punished. Qilu Academy stipulates: "The senior inspects the children who are still studying in the academy, and if there are those who are not diligent in their studies, they will be persuaded by the right words; if they do not obey, they will be punished by the chief of the mountain."

The academic rules of Qilu Academy also clearly requires: if a student is absent from class once during the mountain chief's class, 600 yuan will be deducted. If you are absent from class once, you will be deducted 400 yuan. If a literary child is absent from class once, 400 will be deducted, and 300 will be deducted for absenteeism in the middle paper, and then the text will be added to the text or the same will be deducted.

The academic grade of students when they study in the college is dynamic, and the "point system" is implemented, and there are "grades and grades". Even if you are an excellent student at the time of admission, the so-called "full-time student", if you are absent from class and cannot maintain the top test score, you may be demoted to "additional class student".

The college stipulates that the number of absences and the grade of the examination are used to determine the promotion, and if the internal class students fail to attend the class once, the anointing fire will be suspended for one month. Those who do not attend the class twice will be demoted to an attached class. If the main class is not tested for three consecutive times, those who are super special will be reduced to the supplementary course, and those who have taken the super class for three consecutive times in the supplementary course can be promoted to the main course. At the same time as the downgrade, the anointing money will also be issued in a lower standard, or even not at all.

If you are absent from class once, you will be deducted 400 yuan, and if you are absent from class once, you will be deducted 300 yuan, and then you will be absent from school and then add to the written text or deduct all of the same.
