Chapter 509 The Prototype of the Prosperous Age! The Shock Brought by His Highness the King of Han!

Once entering Beizhili.
The scene that greeted his eyes was completely different.
The further you go towards Peiping, the more prosperous it becomes.
The previously desolate villages and towns gradually became the background.
Instead, there are bustling cities that are extremely noisy.
This sudden change surprised Yang Shiqi and Wang Jing.
Under the governance of His Highness the King of Han, Beizhili actually showed a completely different vitality.
Both of them were very curious at this moment, how did His Highness the King of Han do it?
Because of Wang Jingli's status as Minister of the Ministry, the officials of the prefectures and counties along the way were quite sensible and allowed the group of people to wander around as they pleased.
Yang Shiqi and Wang Jing are both veterans who have been in high official positions for many years. They know that some things cannot be just seen on the surface. The more inconspicuous the corners, the more they can reflect the truth.
So Yang Shiqi and others chose to bypass the city and visit some local towns.
However, when he walked into a town casually, everyone was attracted by the clear and melodious sound of reading.
Four large tile-roofed houses form a huge courtyard. The entire building is made of cement red bricks. It is a bit simple and thin, but it reveals a unique style.
The word "school" is engraved on the main plaque of the courtyard.
School?
Could it be official school?
It is the school in Taoyuan County. At the back of the courtyard, a moon door leads to rows of wing rooms, which are the dormitories of the school masters.
Just when the two were surprised, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of them.
The leader of Luowang, the former Jinyiwei Baihu, Nie Xing.
"Master Yang, Master Wang, long time no see!"
When Wang Jing and Yang Shiqi saw Nie Xing, their expressions suddenly became strange.
Wang Jing, the Minister of Rites, was okay. After all, he was still labeled as a "Han King's Party Member", so seeing Nie Xing at this moment, he actually felt a little warm.
But Yang Shiqi was in a complicated mood at this time and didn't know what to say.
Just after returning to the Yingtian Imperial Capital, Yang Shiqi learned that Han King Zhu Gaoxu moved his family to Peiping to supervise the construction of the new capital of Peiping.
And this arrogant and domineering His Highness the King of Han acted wantonly and committed evil in Peiping.
"Live in the palace, set up secret guards, amass money wantonly, fight against dissidents, and eradicate dissidents..."
When he first heard this, Yang Shiqi just laughed and didn't want to believe it.
But now, not long after he and others entered Beizhili, Hanwang Eagle Dog Nie Xing rushed over and suddenly appeared in front of him and others.
What does this mean?
It is true that the king of Han set up secret guards!
The entire Beizhili is probably under his surveillance!
Once there is any trouble, the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu will be able to get the information as soon as possible, and then quickly take countermeasures!
Nie Xing, who appeared in front of him at this moment, is undoubtedly the best proof.
But why did His Highness the King of Han do this?
This move is tantamount to plotting rebellion!
Peiping is the place where Hongwu King Yan and Emperor Yongle prospered!
But even Zhu Di, the former King of Yan, had control over Peiping only within the Yan Palace!
Today's Han King Zhu Gaoxu has directly extended his hand to the entire Beizhili!
This is too scary!
Nie Xing looked at Yang Shiqi, who was frowning, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Master Yang, I have been away from Nanyang for three years, but Master Yang's style remains the same."
"Although we can't meet in person, Mr. Yang's reputation as the 'Nanyang Prime Minister' is as thunderous as ever!"
Hearing this, Yang Shiqi was stunned and looked at Nie Xing deeply.
In his impression, Nie Xing has always been a foolhardy hawk. When did he become so polite in his speech?
It seems that in the past three years, I am not the only one who has grown!
Yang Shiqi sighed secretly, feeling quite melancholy that things have changed.
"Nie...Zhuangshi, is this 'school' social studies?"
The official school set up by the imperial court in the countryside was called social school, which was mainly responsible for enlightening children of school age.
The official schools set up by the imperial court in prefectures and counties were county schools, etc., and that was where scholars and students went to study and practice morality to prepare for the imperial examinations.
The imperial capital of Yingtian also had the Imperial Academy, the highest academic institution in the Ming Dynasty, which gathered outstanding talents from all over the world.
From sociology to county schools, and then to the Imperial Academy, in conjunction with the imperial examination system, the imperial court created a smooth path for scholars all over the world.
Upon hearing Yang Shiqi's inquiry, Nie Xing did not rush to answer. Instead, he walked to the school window and said with a smile, "Master Yang, why don't you come up and take a look in person?"
After hearing this, everyone subconsciously stepped forward.
However, the scene that caught their eyes made them frown.
Through the window, this bright and clean schoolhouse looks better than some of the government buildings I just passed.
I saw children who were reading and writing, all wearing uniform clothes.
But they were not reciting poetry, nor were they immersed in writing, but were playing with some unknown objects.
Although there are books on these children's desks, they are completely different from the reading that everyone remembers.
"Who are they?" Yang Shiqi asked, pointing to the children in those houses.
It is difficult for Mr. Nanyang Xiangguo to understand.
The children in those houses are already half-adults. Children like this in ordinary people's homes are considered half laborers and need to work in the fields.
But these children, gathered in this school, neither read nor wrote, nor did they share the farm work with their parents. Isn't this a waste of their time?
"Oh, they're learning craftsmanship!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Yang Shiqi and Wang Jing looked at each other with shock on their faces.
His Highness the King of Han actually asked these children to learn craftsmanship?
Isn’t this digging one’s own grave and cutting off the foundation of the Ming Dynasty?
No imperial court can do without scholars who are the emperor’s herdsmen and manage local government affairs for the people of the world!
But you, the King of Han Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu, directly trained these children to be craftsmen, cutting off the source of scholars!
"His Royal Highness the King of Han said that UU reading www.uukanshu.net all children of school age must study. No matter how poor or miserable the family is, they must take time to read and write, even if they just know a few more words."
Hearing this, everyone nodded subconsciously.
They all relied on the imperial examinations to stand up and changed their own and even their family's destiny, so they fully agreed with the statement of Han King Zhu Gaoxu.
"But reading, after all, still requires some talent. Some people went to social studies, but they were really not good at reading, so they changed to other studies. The main purpose was to teach them some skills to make a living. For them, It is also a way out."
Nie Xing said with a smile: "This school was built under the order of the King of Han, and was repaired by the Royal Engineering Team. It does not charge a penny from the common people. All children are admitted for free and are treated equally. As for the teachers in the school, they are the master craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty Union." , skilled craftsmen from the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, and some down-and-out literati who volunteered."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
"Now the greatest hobby of the skilled craftsmen in the Royal Manufacturing Bureau is to compile their knowledge into books and teach it to the world, so these children are not worried that they have nothing to learn."
Yang Shiqi was silent for a long time and asked unwillingly: "Those craftsmen regard their craftsmanship as a secret that is not taught. It is their foundation. How can they be willing to teach it publicly?"
"This is a reward policy jointly formulated by the Ming Dynasty Trade Union and the Royal Manufacturing Bureau. For example, if you come to teach for one year, your rating will be improved after an inspection. Those craftsmen are vying to come; another example is the number of years of teaching time, the Ming Trade Union Union Pay out pensions, ensure that craftsmen can enjoy their old age, etc..."
"Everyone, Peiping and even the entire Beizhili are no longer what they were three years ago. Next, you will see the prototype of a real prosperous age!"
Everyone: "!!!"
