I knew Yuan Ji was worried and said with a smile: "Sir, I think this trip is okay. Among the five masters, only Yin Tianya may be disadvantageous to me, but I have my husband and Taoist masters to protect me, so I shouldn't be afraid. Yes, Shaolin Yunkong is a monk, and the boss of the Tiandao League is from our dynasty, so he will definitely not do anything wrong. Besides, I don’t know them, so they won’t know my identity. Besides, Longhu Mountain is Since our territory belongs to Lun Dao, and Yin Tianya is a well-known figure in the martial arts world, I believe he will not take action on my territory."
Wen Zhang said: "Yes, Mr. Yuan, not to mention that Your Majesty will bring a group of us with him. It will be much safer than the last time we went to Dali."
Yuan Ji thought for a while, knowing that the discussion at Longhu Mountain was a rare opportunity for anyone who liked martial arts, and agreed: "Okay, Your Majesty, then we will set off to Longhu Mountain together at the end of August."
"Well, that's it,"
Wen Zhang said happily: "Then the general will retire first."
"Okay, Xiaoqi, you send Wen Zhang out of the palace, and inform Grand Wizard Hong Yuan to hold a meeting in the back hall tomorrow after the court meeting."
"Yes, official family,"
The next day, there will be a large court meeting.
After the reports from various ministries were completed, I asked: "Tang Aiqing from the Ministry of Industry, can the first phase of the new Lin'an University site be completed as scheduled?"
Tang Han came out and said: "Your Majesty, according to the original plan, it will be delivered for use by the end of this month. The final finishing works are currently being carried out."
"Okay, Jiang Aiqing, Ministry of Education,"
"I am here,"
“How is admissions going this fall,”
"Your Majesty, the enrollment process has started in late May. According to the plan, two thousand new students will be recruited this year, of which 500 will come from all provinces and regions of our country. These students are selected by the local government after preliminary examinations. , this work has been completed in mid-June, another 300 people have been recommended from major academies, and the remaining 1,200 people will be admitted after the Lin'an University public examination to be held on the 22nd of this month,"
"The 22nd is the day after tomorrow. How many people have signed up so far?"
"Your Majesty, as of the last registration time at noon yesterday, there were a total of 2,311 applicants, mostly from Lin'an and nearby Liangzhe Road, Jiangnan Road, Fujian Province and Jiangxi Province,"
"Well, there are quite a few people,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, many scholars now know that Lin'an University is the direction of the future, and unlike the imperial examination, the success rate is low, especially after the Science and Technology Month. The Song Dynasty Royal News conducted a public opinion survey, and they were willing to send their children to The majority of families are sent to Lin’an University to study,”
"This is a good thing. Education is a long-term national policy. Only when all the people in the world are well-educated can our country be revived as soon as possible," I said happily, "Jiang Aiqing, if Lin'an University expands its enrollment by so many people at once, the teaching staff and other supporting measures will be able to Are you following?"
Jiang Wanli said: "Your Majesty, these days, I have been spending most of my time at Lin'an University, coordinating various affairs with President He. The supporting measures have been resolved, except for the teachers who are slightly nervous. I have been working with President He and Vice President Shen After discussion, it was decided to select a group of outstanding students from the original students to serve as teaching assistants for basic courses, so that the professors can focus on teaching, and the task of assisting teaching will be completed by this group of teaching assistants."
"Yes, this is a good method. Jiang Aiqing, you can discuss with He Aiqing. After the university's first batch of students graduate, except for those who are urgently needed by certain departments, they can stay in the university to serve for one year and then make arrangements for their affairs."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this can solve the teacher problem caused by Lin'an University's enrollment expansion,"
"Well, Jiang Aiqing, are the students sent to universities from all over the country for training included in this group?"
"Your Majesty, this is not included. Among the commissioned trainees from various places, the training time for primary school teachers is half a year, and the training time for middle school teachers is one year. Their training time is not consistent with the normal enrollment time,"
"Yes, I forgot about it. My dear friends, do you have any notes on education-related matters?"
Li Boyu, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "My minister Li Boyu has this memorial."
"Li Aiqing, please speak,"
"Your Majesty, talent is more valuable than good cultivation, not quick success. Today, the teaching system of our dynasty is gradually becoming clearer. From primary school to middle school to university, it is so ladder-like, with clear levels and step by step. I think it is very good, so I suggest that I please stop. Children's science, calm down the competition to protect the childish conscience,"
The history of Tongzi Ke can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, even before the imperial examination system.
The ancients distinguished those children who were young and smart, had excellent talents, had special talents, were very different from each other, who showed signs of success in infancy, and whose intelligence emerged at an early age, from ordinary children, and called them child prodigies. Sometimes they were called prodigies. Also known as the Holy Boy and the Wonderful Boy.
In the Song Dynasty, the Tongzi Keke gradually improved with the development of the imperial examination system, and a number of famous figures such as Yang Yi, Song Shu, Yan Shu, and Li Shu emerged among them. In later generations, the famous Youth Class of the University of Science and Technology was closely related to the Tongzi Keke. There are similarities.
Li Boyu's intention was very obvious, and he did not agree with the teaching atmosphere that was contrary to the teachings.
I thought for a while and said, "Jiang Aiqing, you are a master in the education field, what do you mean?"
Jiang Wanli said: "Although Mr. Li's suggestion has some truth, the Children's Department of our dynasty also selected talents like Yan Shu, so it cannot be said to be useless. The Children's Department is not suitable for ordinary children. I think it is still It is necessary to keep it for a period of time, but the court does not need to publicize it and should downplay it."
"Okay, I will accept the suggestions of the two dear ministers. Dear sirs, the imperial court's education policy has been finalized. From the beginning of primary school to middle school and university, this is the future path of education. Regarding children's subjects, I have decided to retain two more It will be officially canceled by the end of the third year of Xianchun. After that, if there are extraordinary children from various places, their specific deeds can be sent to Lin'an first. After joint review by Lin'an University and the Ministry of Education, they will be handed over to me for final review. There is no need to set a fixed time for this matter. There is no need for a fixed process, it can be done at any time just as a case-by-case basis. This matter is jointly undertaken by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Education."
"Yes, I obey the order,"
"Dear dear friends, today's court meeting ends here. Senior ministers, Lu Xiufu, Fan Wenhuan, and Wang Lixin of the Military Academy will follow me to the back hall to discuss matters."
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
Xiao Qi continued: "Retreat from the court."
In the apse, I held a small military meeting.
"Everyone, I would like to introduce to you, this is the great wizard Hong Yuan from the Miao family,"
Hong Yuan stood up and saluted and said: "Hong Yuan, a common man, has met with the Emperor, the Grand Master and all of you."
"Well, sit down," I said, pointing to the military map on the wall. "Please see, Wuhe Village, where the great wizard Hongyuan is located, is located on the bank of the Huangni River on our southwest border. Its geographical location is very important. To the west, it is We can march into Dali and go straight to Chengdu in the north. In the future battle between Song Dynasty and Mongolia, I believe that the Wuhe Miao Village Military Region that is about to be established will become a surprise force for our dynasty. I have already talked with the Great Wizard of Hongyuan and the Tian Jingtou people. Well, the Miao independent military region was established in Wuhe, consisting of 5,000 Miao warriors. Because of its unique location, I plan to only let the Military Academy and some officials of the Ministry of War know about this matter. Since it is a surprise force, it should be taken by surprise, Hong Yuan Great Wizard,"
"The grassroots are here," Hong Yuan stood up again and said.
"Hong Yuan, I appoint you as the institutional envoy of the Wuhe Miao Clan Independent Military Region with the fourth rank. The Miao Clan Military Region is the third military region outside our six military regions of Chengdu, Xiangfan, Luzhou, Yangzhou, Lin'an and Guangnan.
You must take care of the seven military regions with all your heart,"
"I, Hongyuan, thank the Emperor for his grace. I will do my best,"
"Okay, Hong Aiqing, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty,"
"The Miao Military Region has a military strength and consists of three armies. The army commanders and generals below are recommended by Hong Aiqing and reported to the Military Council for approval."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order,"
"Lu Aiqing, the Military Academy needs to send a group of two hundred generals to Wuhe to assist Hong Aiqing in training soldiers and forming an army,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have already discussed with Mr. Hong and will transfer 200 people from Lin'an Military Region, Guangnan Military Region and the Ministry of War to form a group of generals heading south. The 150 people in Lin'an are ready to go south and will go south with Mr. Hong tomorrow.
Fifty ministers from the Guangnan Military Region have arranged a four-hundred-mile rush and ordered them to go north to Wuhe Village."
"Okay, the logistical supplies for the Miao Military Region are also arranged by the Military Academy. Fan Aiqing is responsible for this matter. The treatment of the Miao Military Region is exactly the same as that of other military regions of our country, but it must not be done in a big way, and it needs to be done in secret, and there must be no mistakes,"
Fan Wenhuan stood up and said, "Yes, I obey your order."
"Your Majesty, I have a request, but I don't know whether I should make it or not."
"Hong Aiqing, please tell me if you have something to say."
Hong Yuan said: "Your Majesty, because our Miao Military Region currently does not have a suitable candidate for the military commander, I will temporarily assume the position of military commander. One day, when our Miao Military Region needs to go into battle to kill the enemy, the emperor can select another military commander.
Come on, this is not because I am greedy for life and afraid of death. It is actually because I do not know the art of war, so it will inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience, which will affect important military affairs."
I hurriedly said: "Hong Aiqing, of course I will not believe that you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, you would not have proposed forming an army in Wuhe. It is rare that you can consider it comprehensively and be in a superior position without being greedy. It is respectable. As for
I will leave it to the young people to go into battle and kill the enemy. Imada Xiuyan is studying at the Military University. After you return, you can also select thirty young people from the Miao family who are willing to go to Lin'an Military University to learn military knowledge and complete their studies.
Then he can return to the Miao Military Region and serve as a general,"
"So good,"
"Wang Aiqing,"
"I am here,"
"I plan to let you serve as the commander of the generals going south and the deputy commander of the Miao military region. I wonder what you want."
"Your Majesty, I obey your Majesty's will,"
"Okay, Wang Aiqing, I know that you have loved the art of war since you were a child, and you are a man of both civil and military skills. Our country has a vast territory bordering Mongolia, and there is still a shortage of military talents. I have just transferred you to the Military Academy, and I will let you
Going south, thank you for your hard work, dear,"
"Your Majesty, if I don't work hard, I will work for the Emperor and do my best for the Song Dynasty. I will never give up even if I die."
I smiled and said: "Wang Aiqing, you have just been transferred to the court, and you may not be used to it yet. I will not let talented people like you die easily. If I want to revive the Song Dynasty, I have to rely on you all. How can I just say so easily?"
