Chapter 40 Hospitality(1/2)
Since Prince Dan of Yan was very stable and even a little excited, Ying Zheng did not talk about this topic more.
Ying Zheng sent an invitation to Prince Dan of Yan: Our Imperial College will hold a opening ceremony in a few days. Do you want to come and have a look?
The newly built school in Confidant's house was about to start, so Prince Yan of course responded and said that he would definitely pass by then.
The two of them raised their glasses happily and drank to each other, both moved by this rare friendship.
The opening of Imperial College, in fact, the pre-job training for doctors has already ended, but the imperial court has to set up a new institution, so of course we have to choose the days.
Feng Changcheng led Taibu and others to seriously select auspicious days and times, and the day was set in mid-July.
Then Dianke took over the preparations for the opening ceremony of the Imperial College and formulated a specific charter.
During this period, there were many disputes about personnel and finance, and many rounds were discussed back and forth, just about how much money it costs to be spent here and how many people there are.
Doctors don’t have to worry about these things. They were invited because they were knowledgeable and willing to teach their students what they learned.
During the pre-job training, the doctors quickly finished all the basic course textbooks.
The six arts recorded in "The Book of Zhou" include rituals, music, archery, calligraphy, and numbers. These are the basic skills of scholars, so most of the doctors pass the test.
The text enlightenment is all catchy poems and short stories, and the words are quite simple and easy for them to get rid of.
Courses such as calligraphy, art, and music are basically fine for them. After all, you have studied, so you must practice your calligraphy well. Calligraphy and painting are a family. If you practice your calligraphy well, you will not be bad at painting. Not to mention the rhythm and the verbs are released. It is a boring thing if anyone doesn’t play and sing!
In addition, there are also textbooks for "Nature" in the academy, where you can learn simple introductory knowledge of astronomy and geography. For example, the skills of observing clouds and cognizing rain provided by Wei Liao are written in it. Just remember this one and you will be fine.
However, in arithmetic study, some doctoral students have obviously failed. They are definitely more proficient in subject matter, and they can't learn much of the basics.
After studying for a round, the doctors found that although these basic courses were very simple, they could see how much effort the academy had spent on it, and they had no objection to the soon-to-be teaching of these courses.
Anyway, who can get rid of naughty children in three months depends entirely on his own ability!
The doctors are full of energy, and the carving workers and printers are also working day and night, and they have to print textbooks according to the number of school children of appropriate age reported by various schools in Xianyang.
There is no need to worry about printing too much textbooks. After all, they will not be modified within a few years. If this group of students is not available, they can be distributed to the next group.
In short, even if you print it in a lot!
Not only is the textbook printing work in full swing, but the school officials who are in place in advance are counting the number of applicants from door to door.
According to the regulations discussed by the clan leader and Fusu, the children of each family must first complete the basic courses, whether they are in literature or martial arts.
The consequences of being an illiterate official are unimaginable, so if you fail the exam, don’t say you can inherit the title, and don’t even think of being a small official!
After this regulation is announced to the public, each company can only actively sign up for its children and grandchildren.
As mid-July approaches, IUC officially ushers in the opening day.
On the day of school, students don’t have to participate in any ceremony, they just need to bring their pens and ink to take the exam.
If you can pass this exam directly, you can conduct two and a half months of physical training to exercise your skills in close combat, weapon use, riding and shooting skills, etc. You can also organize a football match to connect with your relationship and wait until the next quarter to start your professional courses.
If you fail the exam, you have to study the basic courses obediently, make up for the basic knowledge in all aspects, and take the exam again in two and a half months.
If you have to continue to fail the exam in two and a half months, of course you have to keep learning. Even if it turns into a targeted teaching of one hundred (teacher) to one (student), you have to learn until you can pass the exam.
If you don’t have such a basic thing, what future will you have in the future!
On this day, the children of powerful and powerful people aged six to fifteen in Xianyang City entered the Imperial College with their families or servants.
Except for these "school-age children", everyone else was blocked and not allowed to enter.
When Fusu proposed the site selection proposal, the only specified requirement was to be large.
At this time, the great benefits were revealed. Even if such a large group of "school-age children" poured in today, they all quickly became lost little ants in the Imperial College, small and helpless.
Looking at the weak and pitiful little lambs, Fusu asked Xianyu to take her brothers and sisters to organize the candidates to enter.
Xianyu and Fusu practiced martial arts for half a year, and their feet were much better than ordinary children. Fusu was preparing to exercise her organizational skills.
Hearing that he had his own tasks, Xianyu immediately asked his friends to come and gather, and each brought his followers to arrange the candidates into the examination room. He was quite decent when he was doing his work.
In the early stage of the Imperial College, only children of officials from the court and nobles were recruited, and even children of low-ranking officials were not accepted. The number of students was not too large.
However, under the initiative of Fusu, the daughters of each family also gained a place in the Imperial College.
According to Fusu, you should learn basic education, both men and women. Even if you just want to get married early in the future, you have to know how to read and calculate, right?
Although most families with some family background will invite a famous venerable or female teacher to teach their daughters at home, since they can learn together, it is better to learn together.
In this way, girls from all walks of life can also go out to play more and make more friends of the same age while they are not yet married.
The Qin Dynasty was open-minded, and even young men and women of marriageable age could sit together and have fun and feast together. There was no rule that women could not show up in public.
Since this Imperial College was originally prepared by Fusu for his younger brothers and sisters, it is naturally impossible to exclude Xianyu and the others.
After many discussions, Fusu successfully concluded this matter with Ying Zheng's support.
Faced with opposition, Ying Zheng's reaction was very simple: My son did the Imperial College, you can get one by yourself if you have so many ideas.
Those who objected: "…"
OK, it seems that you just want the children of each family to play with your children.
Unfortunately, although Fusu asked each family to report girls, the number of girls is still significantly small, and some of them should have been detained at home to learn from the female teacher they hired.
Fusu turned a blind eye to this and pretended not to know it.
He just sent a signal to the outside world: girls can also sign up.
He could not interfere with the girl who had already arranged the way forward in other people's family.
Fusu sent Xianyu and the others to work, and hid himself for a while.
Then he was soon arrested by someone sent by Ying Zheng.
Before the students officially started the exam, one hundred doctoral students with different knowledge and one hundred instructors carefully selected from each army would attend the opening ceremony hosted by Ying Zheng himself.
There was no special ceremony at this opening ceremony, no worship of saints and sages, and no altars were set up to place sacrifices.
There were only more court officials who came to watch the ceremony, Prince Yan and others.
Ying Zheng also dressed very casually, only wearing regular clothes that he liked to wear during holidays. He looked less majestic and more approachable.
Ying Zheng gave a brief speech to the doctors and instructors, with the general meaning as follows-
"In the past, Daqin did not have such a great Imperial College, and the children of Daqin did not have so many excellent teachers. This is a change from nothing. Everything in Imperial College may be very simple and needs everyone to explore and improve it together.
Starting today, I will hand over the future pillars of Daqin to you. I hope you can teach them the knowledge you have and the martial arts and military skills you are good at. Even if you can only learn one ten thousand of yours, it will be a valuable asset for them to benefit from for life."
Of course, everyone is adult, and talking about ideals is far from touching enough. Ying Zheng also added a topic that everyone is very concerned about: salary and benefits!
If everyone teaches people well, the salary will not be small, and the benefits such as grain, oil, cloth, etc. will be less. In the future, I can arrange a house in Xianyang school district for you!
In short, as long as you work hard, you will have money, houses and fields, and you will also become a respected existence that everyone in Xianyang City will be.
When Ying Zheng wanted to establish a relationship with others, his attitude was always low and his words were always very earnest.
After the speech, the doctors and instructors heard the tears flashed in their eyes, and they made up their minds: Even if they forced themselves, they would stuff what they knew into the students' minds!
Fusu was brought over to listen. There was an acquaintance of Prince Yan on the left, and an acquaintance on the right, Wei Liao and Han Fei.
Wei Liao and Han Fei have been writing books behind closed doors recently.
Because Wei Liao couldn't run away, he simply stopped running away and slept at home to write military books.
Han Fei is planning to be a low-key person for a while, and is ready to hold on to something that can impress Ying Zheng before writing a letter to Ying Zheng.
As their loyal book friends, Ying Zheng closed the book after reading their articles and praised "There are such amazing people in the world", and of course he did not forget them.
At this opening ceremony, Ying Zheng specially sent someone to send a letter to them, asking them to come and visit the Imperial College and experience how grand the Imperial College of the Great Qin Dynasty was.
Han Fei is the son of the former King of Han and the current King of Han’s brother. He is definitely not a person with little knowledge, but this is indeed the first time he has seen such a big school.
However, after walking around in, Han Fei found that many things in this country were not apt to learn.
For example, Ying Zheng’s speech at the beginning of school sounds too rough. I always feel that as soon as Ying Zheng opened his mouth, he faintly exuded the aura of "I am not educated, I am very proud, I am proud, what's wrong, what can you beat me?"
For example, there are still many girls among the students!
Han Fei's attitude towards women is very simple and traditional: men should not love their wives too much, and should not let women influence their judgment; but on the other hand, women must serve their husbands well, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
What girls want to learn is different from what boys want to learn. Just ask someone to teach the things girls should know at home, and there is no need to study outside.
Fortunately, after reading several textbooks for basic education, Han Fei held back his opinions.
This course is so easy to understand, it is considered a literacy course, so it is even more necessary to let children come out and have fun, so there is no need to distinguish between men and women.
Ying Zheng didn't know what Han Fei and the others were muttering in their hearts. After finishing the concise speech, he called Fusu and went up to pay official visits to the doctors.
The two sides have actually met, but the meaning of Ying Zheng bringing them in person is different, so the two sides naturally greet each other seriously.
The students then officially started the exam, and the doctors were invigilating according to the tasks assigned.
Treating their future students, doctoral invigilance is very strict, and it is impossible to copy each other or copy them in a cheat sheet.
Children from all families have long received the instructions from their families to take the exams as they should, and show the level of their level. If you can't even write, then don't write them and just hand in the blank paper and start from scratch.
Since they have no requirements for their grades, they are not panic at all when facing the test papers they have been handed over, and they just start reading the questions seriously.
Fusu does not need to take the exam.
Fusu followed Ying Zheng and the others around the Imperial College, and then walked to the gate before Ying Zheng let him go.
