Chapter 559 You looked down on me in the past, but you can't stand up to me now
Shen Cantong endured his anger and sent away the clansmen with different expressions, just in time to wait for the people secretly sent to see the list.
Because there were too many people at the venue, the boy who went to see the list couldn't squeeze in at first, and then he couldn't squeeze out. One of his shoes was lost in the crowd, and he didn't dare to delay his return.
As a result, when I came back, I was greeted by a cup of tea.
Fortunately, the tea was not hot and his head was not smashed. The boy could only kneel down to complain.
He had been squeezed in for a long time, and he also saw the late ranking of the bell.
When he heard the bell ringing, the person who was late was also on the list of candidates, and Shen Cantong's face became even stiffer.
That brothel girl could actually pass the exam?
At first, he was afraid that Zhong Shengwan would be chosen as his concubine, so he actually passed the high school examination?
Before, he was talking nonsense to Shen Cangzhu and belittling Zhong Shengwan, but she turned around and actually passed the examination.
He originally thought that he would be able to get into the exams as a child student, and the most talented scholar was Zhong Shengwan's greatest ability. A scholar was nothing, and he might have gotten into the exam because of his connections.
Turns out it's not the case now.
Shen Cantong felt very subtle in her heart, and then found that the boy's eyes were also very subtle.
The young man felt that although Zhong Shengwan was born in a brothel, she was Zhou Jun's sister and the only woman to win the imperial examination this year. It would not have been a bad thing if the eldest son had taken her as his concubine and brought her and Xiao Ming into the Shen family. .
Not only the boy thought so, but also everyone who knew Shen Cantong and knew about this past thought so.
Next, Shen Cantong received countless such subtle glances.
People who didn't deal with him, regardless of whether Shen Cangzhu was at home or not, came to his door that night and insisted on congratulating Shen Cangzhu on passing the exam.
By the way, he insulted him and deliberately mentioned the late bell.
"It's a pity that Mr. Shen did not seize the opportunity. If Zhong Juren had been accepted earlier, you would not be able to serve as an official in the future. There is still Zhong Juren who can serve as an official and she can take care of you."
This is a mockery of Shen Cangtong's inability to eat soft food.
Shen Cangtong can accept that Shen Cangzhu is excellent, even if he is not angry, but Shen Cangzhu is the son of his Shen family and has been educated by the Shen family. If others say that he is not as good as Shen Cangzhu, he will be angry at most.
But when the bell rings late, it would be really insulting for someone who came from a brothel to use her to mock her.
Unfortunately, Zhong Sheng has passed the exam now. Compared with him, who may never be able to serve as an official in Dachu, he is better.
Shen Cantong was humiliated and felt as if he had eaten a fly. The feeling was so sour and refreshing.
Incompetent and furious, he couldn't hold back and beat the person who mocked and insulted him.
Then this beating completely broke up the matter and allowed these words to spread.
Shen Cantong's self-inflicted evil made his situation more subtle and made people think more about Zhong Shengwan and him.
On the other side, Shen Cangtong's ex-wife Song, who had waited for a period of time to remarry, also heard the bell ringing and heard Shen Cangtong's beating and everyone's discussion.
She was surprised and equally unconvinced.
Zhong Shengwan was never looked down upon by her, and she felt that even someone who was not qualified to be compared with her would be considered unclean even if she even mentioned him.
But in the end, such a person actually got elected, and those people she knew actually compared her with them, and even belittled her?
How could the Song family accept it? He was so angry that he tried to get a copy of the exam paper, thinking that if he took the exam, he would do better than Zhong Sheng.
But after getting the test paper, she couldn't do it anymore.
She was also a famous and talented woman when she was young, but she was mostly good at composing poetry and playing the piano, not the books that men read.
The impact of passing the exam in the late afternoon was no less than that of Shen Cangzhu, it could even be said to be greater.
Her name has caused many old antiques to scold her behind her back, making rude remarks, and some even said they would give up the exam.
But it’s more of an incentive. People like Zhong Shengwan, who was born in a brothel, can win the imperial examination and really change their destiny. Why can’t you?
The trend for women to study has surged again, and those who have the conditions are beginning to think of ways to send their children to study.
Seeing this situation, Chu Xingchen took the opportunity to move forward with her long-awaited plan. She didn't give the nobles of the aristocratic families any time to react, and she quickly gave the order.
Funds are allocated from the national treasury, and various localities cooperate in the construction of official schools.
At this time, people's education level was not high, and most schools were private schools, with few government schools.
After the imperial examination promoted Houfu studies, county studies gradually improved.
But this time, the official schools are comparable to the government schools, and the county schools are more active, because they are involved in everything from elementary enlightenment schools to intermediate official schools.
It also stipulates that every county, regardless of town or village, as long as there are 100 households, must have an enlightenment school to ensure that even in remote locations, there are opportunities for literacy.
In elementary enlightenment schools, all school-age children in the neighborhood can enroll for free, regardless of status or gender.
Educational fairness is the greatest fairness.
Chu Xingchen is a person who has come through the nine-year compulsory education system. Nine-year compulsory education is difficult, but three-year compulsory education is still possible.
It used to be very expensive to go to school and take courses, but now you don’t have to pay to take courses and you only need to pay a small fee for books.
Due to the improvement of printing paper, the cost of books has been greatly reduced. Overall, the cost of reading is very small, and most people can afford it.
This is of course a great good thing for the people, but when the officials heard it, their eyes went dark.
When the order was issued, everyone felt that their queen was crazy. This was something that cost so much.
There are too many things involved in all aspects.
But Chu Xingchen is not afraid, Xiao Wang's ability is not guaranteed, so now she has money, and the treasury has money.
It's easy to do things when you have money, but you don't have to panic when you have money.
Chu Xingchen didn't wait for the people below to discuss writing the brochure, and then sent a second notice.
They are aware that they are about to officially recruit people for the teaching staff. This is a staff that has been prepared to receive royal food. I just want to ask you if you are interested?
Although you have to take a test before taking the teacher's license, which is similar to the modern teacher qualification certificate, it is still very delicious.
In addition, we also started looking for powerful people in the world to compile teaching materials.
Once a school is built, teachers need to be recruited, and the teaching materials naturally need to keep up.
In addition to the existing popular textbooks, Chu Xingchen felt that some new textbooks were also needed, which should be considered from the practical practicality, not all aspects, but should be developed comprehensively.
Especially enlightenment textbooks, whether it is arithmetic or reading and writing articles, teach more practicality. Even if you don't continue to study in the future, it will still be of great help to your life.
The entire education system is smashed down and it is complete. You can't find any loopholes.
One order after another, it can be seen that Chu Xingchen has been prepared for a long time.
The minister who originally wanted to object realized that there was nothing he could do about it, so he was moved by the thought of his children or relatives who could take the teacher's examination, and those who wanted to participate in the compilation of textbooks and leave their names on the textbooks were also moved.
Everyone is not a fool and can see that this is another opportunity to become famous in the world.
Da Chu Bao missed an opportunity back then. How could Confucian, Legalist, Mohist, Taoist and other scholars miss it this time? It is not an exaggeration to say that the literary world was shocked.
Before anyone can react, the matter is basically done.
