Compulsory education in ancient times

Sure enough, Qi Bohan said again: "It is reasonable to select a scholar once every three years in a peaceful and prosperous age, but now that the talents in the court are withering, I really can't afford to wait."

Murong Wenyu felt weird when he heard these words, but for a while he didn't know how to refute.

Wang Lingjun got the script a long time ago, and immediately continued: "Then why don't you try it once a year?"

"Inappropriate. The spring exam is expensive, and it takes a long time for students to come and go. If the journey is far away, it will take half a year on the road. How can I have time to study?" Murong Wenyu disagreed.It is precisely because of these reasons that the ancestors set the spring test as a three-year period, so how could it be so easily changed.

Weng Yuanji and Murong Wenyu had the same thoughts, but he didn't want to pick on each other at all, because he could feel that Qi Bohan was digging a hole for them!

However, Qi Bohan was full of praise, and Wang Lingjun said, "Then it's fine if we don't make such a big scene. It's okay if we don't open to students from all over the country and only hold a few small exams."

"This... I'm afraid it's not right." Murong Wenyu frowned.As the saying goes, don't worry about the few, but the unevenness. Isn't this done to cause the dissatisfaction of those students who can't take the exam!

"How about the three lovers take a look at this." After Qi Bohan finished speaking, Fan Zhong immediately picked up a tray and came to Weng Yuanji and Murong Wenyu in turn.

There were several books on the tray. When Weng Yuanji saw the book cover, he immediately recognized it as a textbook from Xingzhi College. How to persuade with death.

What Qi Bohan asked the two of them to read was the political textbook of Xingzhi Middle School's liberal arts.

Even Qi Bohan had to praise the teaching materials produced by the system.

One-fifth of the political textbooks in this junior high school are brainwashed content about loyalty to the monarch and patriotism.

One third is economics and politics, which teaches grassroots officials how to find the law from the economic changes in a region, so as to develop people's livelihood education with twice the result with half the effort.In this regard, even if you become a high-level official, the height and breadth of your vision cultivated in it will be useful for life.

And the rest is a higher and deeper way of governing the country.

Weng Yuanji and Murong Wenyu watched and couldn't help being immersed in it. They read for a long time, until they finished a book and came to their senses, only to find that Qi Bohan and Wang Lingjun had disappeared.

Seeing that the two of them had regained their composure, Fan Zhong came forward with a smile and said, "My lords, Your Majesty and Prince Qian have already gone to have dinner. When we left, we have ordered the imperial dining room to prepare meals for you two. Do you want to pass on the meals now?"

Murong Wenyu was not close to Qi Bohan, and this was the first time he knew that Qi Bohan had such a weird temper, leaving two courtiers in the imperial study, and went to have dinner by himself.

And Weng Yuanji knew Qi Bohan better, he knew that Qi Bohan was angry, he sighed helplessly in his heart, and took Murong Wenyu to dinner.

But the meal was not very good, and within 10 minutes after the two had eaten, Qi Bohan brought Wang Lingjun back after eating and drinking.

What can be done?You can't let the emperor wait for them to finish eating!The two of them hurriedly ate only [-]% full, and went back to the imperial study to continue their "discussion".

Qi Bohan greeted a few words pretending to be concerned, and regardless of the strange faces of the two, he immediately got back to business: "What do you two think about the book?"

"Great kindness!" Weng Yuanji praised from the bottom of his heart.

He had read the textbooks of Xingzhi Primary School and found them easy to understand.By the time Tao Jianran started his middle school, he was already busy and didn't have time to pay attention to the middle school's textbooks.When I saw it today, I really wanted to slap myself a few times, because I missed this kind of treasure back then!

If they could spread the knowledge in this book earlier, how could they fall into a state where no one can use it?

Murong Wenyu also spoke highly of this book: "This book is simple and fascinating, and it explains the truth thoroughly in short words. It is really a good book handed down from generation to generation!"

"Then what do you think, if the exam is only for students who have read these books?"

"Your Majesty wants to publish this book? In this way, there will not be a small number of people who can read it, and it will not reduce the number of people who take the exam." Murong Wenyu replied.

"This is the textbook of Xingzhi Middle School. What if I say that only students who have entered Xingzhi Middle School and passed the graduation exam can take the exam?" Qi Bohan smiled, looking at the dazed expressions of Weng Yuanji and Murong Wenyu, What was in his mind was Tao Jianran's appearance.

Qi Bohan could imagine Tao Jianran's smug face when he proposed this idea, and he really wished he could hold him in his arms and love him!

When Weng Yuanji and Murong Wenyu came back to their senses, Qi Bohan also put on a serious mask, and asked again: "What do you think of the three lovers?"

Weng Yuanji knew the enrollment model of Xingzhi Middle School.Entrance exams are available to everyone, but the enrollment rate is not high.The graduation exam can also stop some students who don't have the ability, and finally add a small exam held by the imperial court. Even if the exam time is more frequent, the people who pass the exam must have real talents.

"It's just that there are only two Xingzhi Middle Schools now, and I'm worried that the school won't be able to accommodate so many students..." Weng Yuanji already agreed with Qi Bohan's proposal.

Weng Yuanji agreed, and the matter was settled. As for some details, Qi Bohan handed them over to these three people.If the emperor has to worry about everything, what are these courtiers doing!

Half a month later, the imperial court promulgated a new policy: Except for the years with spring examinations, a small imperial examination will be held in the capital on September [-]st every year, and only students who have obtained the graduation certificate of Xingzhi Middle School can participate.The students who won the Zhongju will be sent to various places to start as county magistrates.This New Deal will continue until all the vacancies of court officials are filled.

The Minsheng Daily has internal channels. On the day the New Deal was promulgated, the article on current affairs commentary was written by Weng Yuanji against the New Deal!The article first calmly analyzed the similarities and differences between this small imperial examination and the spring examination.

First of all, candidates in the minor imperial examinations do not have the merits of Jinshi Juren. If they want to obtain merits, they have to wait for the spring examination every three years.

Secondly, the candidates in the minor imperial examinations can only be the county magistrate at the beginning. As for whether they can go up, it depends on their personal ability.For those students who don't want to get qualifications from such a low level, the small imperial examination is not a good choice.

Third, it is very difficult to obtain reference qualifications for minor imperial examinations!

Fortunately, the entrance examination for Xingzhi Middle School is good. Those who have real talents can basically pass it after reading the textbooks of Xingzhi Primary School.But the graduation exam is a nightmare for freshmen.Because Xingzhi Middle School has a six-year system, they plan to teach the knowledge in six years. If you come here for the small imperial examination, you have to finish it within two years. Otherwise, you might as well take the spring exam!

Counting these three points one by one, those students who were still angry after seeing the New Deal immediately calmed down.It turns out that this small imperial examination is not a shortcut, but a road that is more difficult than the spring examination?

However, Weng Yuanji didn't dismantle Xingzhi Middle School, and then changed the subject again, persuading those students who were not sure in the spring examination to enroll in Xingzhi Middle School.Because once you can graduate from it, you can take a small imperial examination every year. Isn't it better than waiting for the three-year spring examination if you fail a round?

Of course, the minor imperial examinations were not specially set up for these mediocre talents.If you think you are a genius, you can learn the knowledge of other people for six years in two years, and you are welcome to try it!As long as you don't mind being from the county magistrate.

Weng Yuanji's article really touched the hearts of all the students.In this issue of Minsheng Daily, the locations of the two Xingzhi Middle Schools and the time of the entrance examination are also specially published, reminding interested students to go there early.

Following Weng Yuanji's articles, the New Deal spread all over the country, and the relationship between Xingzhi Academy and Qi Bohan couldn't be hidden. At this time, everyone knew that this Xingzhi Academy was actually run by the emperor. It's such a commotion.

Xingzhi Middle School was forced to advertise. Wang Wanning and Pan Wenshan, who had few students, suddenly became busy.

As for the students from Xingzhi Middle School who were tricked in, they only felt as if they were in a dream.

"Brother Zhang, am I not mistaken? The above is really Xingzhi Middle School?" The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a goatee.He is the first batch of students of Ning'an Xingzhi Middle School. When he was admitted to Xingzhi Middle School, he came here with the intention of taking refuge in Prince Xian.As a result, I have been in school for so long, not to mention Qi Bohan, I have never even seen the corner of Tao Jianran's clothes!In the past few years, I had given up thinking about becoming an official in the court, but I didn't want such a big pie to fall from the sky!

The man he called Brother Zhang looked much younger than him, but when he saw the latest issue of Minsheng Daily, he was as excited as he was: "Otherwise, which middle school is there? No, I have to go back to school, I To participate in the graduation assessment in June this year!"

This brother is a class later than Goatee, and although he is only a freshman now, he has studied a few years more than the others anyway, and he might pass the graduation examination if he tries hard!

It was said that the goatee also woke up like a dream.He is a sophomore in high school this year, and the starting line is much higher than others!This year's graduation examination, he is determined to win!

The two Xingzhi Middle Schools, which were half-dead before, finally radiated new vitality because of this new policy.

At the same time, Tao Jianran's inn in Yizhou was finally remodeled before the end of March.

The craftsmen have a surprisingly consistent understanding of home, because they are all from Ning'an, and they feel that the most comfortable home is the kind of green brick and green tile of a rich family.So this is a good shop built of big stones, they used cement as the base, covered with a thin layer of green bricks for decoration, and added two floors of real green brick houses on top.

Looking at this very modern and antique-style inn, Tao Yanran really couldn't laugh or cry.

After entering the inn, the living room is not very big, only a quarter of the store area. There are a row of benches on the left and right sides, and a counter responsible for opening the room.
