After listening to the emperor's detailed explanation on the formulation of three standards, Zhang Ying's back was covered in cold sweat.

Through the first article, the emperor directly estranged the princes from their relatives when they were young, avoided being too close, and tried to eliminate future party affiliations. However, the second article, the emperor secretly narrowed the differences between the princes and the illegitimate princes, which indirectly implied that the common people should try to minimize the birth of the concubine's sons. The third article, the emperor entrusts the right to choose the best to Zhang Ying. Even if a concubine's son who has a first-rank official wants to enroll, Zhang Ying has to make excuses to refuse.

Zhang Ying couldn't help but complain in his heart, but it was the most important thing that concerns the princes' education and the emperor trusted him very much. Zhang Ying hesitated for a while, and finally knelt down in front of the emperor and made a careful request:

"Your Majesty, I have a ruthless request."

The emperor looked at Zhang Ying with a smile and asked him:

"I love you, but it's okay to talk."

Zhang Ying replied in a vain:

"I have a son in my hometown, who is eight years old. I want to ask the emperor to give me kindness and allow me to attend the first official school."

The emperor laughed, and the way was indeed everywhere, and the back door opened directly to the emperor.

The emperor speculated that Zhang Ying's son is probably Zhang Tingyu. Young Master Zhang has excellent tutoring and personality, and he should be very good. If the eldest prince and the younger prince could be classmates and friends with Zhang Tingyu, it would be of great benefit. At this moment, due to regional restrictions, sending his child from his hometown to the capital to study is not a matter of principle. Anyway, the differences in the distribution of school districts, regions and educational resources have been around since ancient times.

The emperor simply sold a worthless favor to his confidant minister:

"Zhang Qing, the reason why I limited the young children to people in the capital is because the dialects of different places are different. I am afraid that I can't speak at such age. If Zhang Qing's youngest son had no verbal hindrance, I would not interfere."

Zhang Ying quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

The emperor immediately explained Zhang Ying’s third thing:

"Zhang Qing, this third mission is particularly important, and it is a major event related to the century-long cultivation of people."

Zhang Ying looked at the emperor cautiously.

The emperor said:

"It is very easy to build a new official school. However, what subjects are taught by official schools? It is the top priority."

The emperor appointed the purpose of selecting courses in Kyoto Primary School as: from simple to difficult, step by step, take into account both interests, and select the strengths of all schools of thought.

The emperor tentatively set the courses of Kyoto Primary School as a four-year education. From low to middle level, from shallow to deep, the basic courses are set to literacy, mathematics, calligraphy, poetry, classics, history and articles, astrology, agricultural knowledge, geography, music, navigation, sports...

The emperor's original words are: The basic textbook about children's literacy can be started with the "Three Character Classic".

However, Zhang Ying had to sort out the content of the "Three Character Classic" from beginning to end and recompile it. Any inappropriate words and sentences should be eliminated. Regarding this, there was actually a small misunderstanding between Zhang Ying and the emperor. Zhang Ying thought that the emperor wanted to find taboo words and sentences like "words" when he was in prison. However, the emperor's original intention was to remove words that were too outdated and could not keep up with the development of the times.

(Can the ideas of Qing Dynasty ministers and modern youth be the same?)

Regarding math courses: The emperor appointed Nan Huairen to teach, and the textbooks should also be re-written.

Moreover, the emperor specially designated that in the math books, he first taught a new type of digital writing method.

(In fact, the emperor had a problem in his mind. He turned around and wanted to print the mantra of multiplication Xiao Jiujiu into the book.)

Calligraphy course: It is suitable to start with tracing red, and to make the regular characters. (The emperor also mentioned the style of tracing red paper.)

Poetry course: 300 Tang poems are temporarily selected, and one poem can be read every three to five days.

Classics and History Articles: It is an intermediate course. When you first start, you should talk about "The Analects of Confucius". Teach a melody every day and tell a small story, which can be determined by your ability.

Astrological course: The Imperial Heaven Supervisor assigned a specialist to watch the starry sky at night, identify the north and south directions, and identify the cloud map. It is tentatively planned to be studied once a month.

Agricultural Knowledge Course: Before and after the autumn harvest every year, study in the Huangzhuang for one month, practice it in practice, and go to the countryside to help farmers.

Geography course: Start by learning the Kyoto map, then recognize the rivers, mountains and rivers, and expand to the geography of the country.

Music courses: First, focus on amateur interests, you can choose appropriate musical instruments to learn basic music theory.

Navigation course: It is a continuation of the geography course, and is tentatively designated as travel education before graduation. Learn navigation charts and organize all students to go out to sea to watch the day, catch fish, and visit Jiangnan.

Physical Education Course: It is a permanent course. The professor can choose the best from the Ministry of War or the Imperial Guard. Run and practice every morning at one minute, and in the afternoon, it will focus on equestrian training, ball games, climbing, etc.

The emperor finished talking in one breath, and finally added the most important sentence.

The emperor ordered that Zhang Ying was fully responsible for organizing it, and contacted all the well-educated scholars in Beijing to re-compile all the books for Kyoto Primary School as soon as possible. After the books were published, they were first demonstrated in Kyoto No. 1 Primary School and tried for one year. If the results were very good, they would be published and printed and promoted to all private schools across the Qing Dynasty."

Zhang Ying listened and made a shorthand note, and was amazed at the novel content told by the emperor.

Zhang Ying kept regretting in his heart: Alas, if the third son was a little older, he would also go to the official school to study. It would be a pity.

The emperor slowed down and reiterated the topic just now to Zhang Ying:

"Zhang Qing, compiling children's textbooks is definitely not a trivial matter. You must organize more people and think about it repeatedly."

"If it is really feasible, once the books are promoted to private schools across the country, my dear, do you know what this means?"

Zhang Ying looked at the emperor intently. The emperor said to him earnestly:

"When I actually write the titles of all the editors on every page of the book. This will be a success that will be spread throughout the country and will continue for generations!"

Zhang Ying looked at the emperor with bright eyes, and tears of excitement appeared in his eyes.

What is the favorite ambition of Hanlin bachelors? It is nothing more than being inspiring in literary talent and famous throughout the ages.

Zhang Ying has always been cautious and careful to follow the emperor. He is like a tiger. How dare he show his strength?

But at this moment, the emperor actually gave him an opportunity to become famous and would not be suspicious of the lord.

If he could live in glory and be known to the world, how happy it would be.

The emperor smiled and looked at his confidant minister with tears in his eyes, feeling grateful.

The emperor was very calm and he thought to himself:

"So I have the talent to be an emperor! How could I make Lao Zhang so excited by just a few words? Or was the ancient world better! Most of them are humble gentlemen, so the team may be better to lead."
