Datang romantic little landlord

After making sure he heard correctly, Li Er couldn't help but gasp.

"You bastard, what are you going crazy about? Do you know how much gold it takes to build such a big academy? Your Dingzhou Village only has dozens of Mongolian children. How can you build such a big academy? ?”

Fang Xuanling also persuaded from the side: "Ziyou, it is good that you are willing to build an academy, but there is no need to build it so big, right?"

Li Wangyou smiled indifferently: "Hey, uncle, Fang Gong, and nephew, didn't they just make a fortune? No problem, this amount of money is nothing."

In front of Lu Kuan, Li Wangyou naturally couldn't speak clearly.However, Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui naturally understood what he meant by his winking appearance, and couldn't help being speechless.

This time, Qiwang of the five surnames lost his pants, and each of them earned more than [-] taels of gold in vain.Li Wangyou was willing to use part of it to build an academy, but it really didn't matter.

Li Er still shook his head: "Ziyou, explain to me clearly why it is necessary to build such a large academy?"

Li Wangyou knew that he wanted to see Li Er today, so he was ready to raise this matter.Therefore, he always carried the sketch of the school with him. Facing Li Er's inquiry, he immediately took out the sketch from his pocket.

"Uncle, gentlemen, please look, this is the sketch of the academy I plan to build." Li Wangyou pointed to the sketch and introduced it to Li Er and the others.

"The academy I plan to build is unprecedented. It includes various libraries, classrooms, dormitories, cafeterias, sports fields, racetracks, cuju field, and batting field. Hehe, it occupies a larger area."

Li Er and the others looked at the sketch of the school carefully, and even shook their heads. Li Wangyou's generosity was unheard of.

Fang Xuanling asked curiously: "Ziyou, how many students do you intend to enroll in this academy? With such a large academy, don't you mean that you still plan to compete with the Imperial College to snatch people?"

Li Wangyou shook his head: "Fang Gong, the students I plan to teach are not the same as those who study today. Therefore, I only plan to recruit elementary school children, that is, children under the age of ten."

Li Er and the others are even more speechless. Thousands of acres of land may cost tens of thousands of taels of gold, but Xiuzuo Academy only recruits young children?

In the eyes of everyone, this is simply a waste to the extreme.

Although it wasn't his own gold that was spent, Li Er still felt heartbroken for Li Wangyou, and asked puzzledly, "Ziyou, I'm afraid it's not worth spending so much just to teach some young children."

Li Wangyou said: "Uncle, what my nephew wants to teach is not the scholars of the Tang Dynasty today. The courses my nephew is going to set up for those young children in the academy, in addition to studying the "Five Classics Final Version", also learn arithmetic. , calligraphy, painting, musical instruments, archery, batting, horseback riding, sword dancing, art of war, etc. After a young child enters school, my nephew plans to divide them into three stages: primary school, middle school and university. It will take about ten years, Teach a young boy to be a pillar of usefulness for the country. Hey, so this thousand acres of land is not much, and my nephew plans to continue to expand it in the future. The ten thousand acres of land that my uncle bestowed on me last time, I can’t say that there will be more in the future. All used to build the academy."

These words shocked Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others even more...

717 Can't Go Through the Back Door

Speaking of which, Datang's education system is also very developed.

Especially after inheriting the system of the former Sui Dynasty and improving it, its concept and system are not backward. Even many education experts in later generations believe that the education system of the Tang Dynasty is worth learning.

In addition to Guoxue and Taixue, all prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty had official schools.

Li Er also attached great importance to education. During the Zhenguan Year when he was the emperor, the number of official schools in the Tang Dynasty increased by more than 200.

The private schools run by the people have not yet been recorded, and Datang also encourages the existence of these private schools.

But no matter how advanced the education system of the Tang Dynasty was, as Li Wangyou proposed, the idea of ​​running a modern school in later generations was something that no one had ever heard of.

And when Li Er and the others heard that Li Wangyou was planning to recruit children from poor families in Chang'an City to go to school for free, free of board and lodging, they were even more stunned and speechless.

Li Wangyou confided all his thoughts, Li Er, Fang Xuanling and the others were silent, each pondering in their hearts the difference between this academy and the Tang government schools and private schools, comparing their advantages and disadvantages.

It seems that, as Li Wangyou imagined, spending ten years to systematically teach a young child is an unprecedented pioneering work.

If a child can systematically learn the lessons mentioned by Li Wangyou from an early age, what will it be like when he becomes an adult and crowned?

Thinking of this, Li Er looked at the examinees in the examination institute, who were immersed in answering the questions. Not only did he think that if ten years later, the students in Li Wangyou's academy came to the Ministry of Rites Examination Institute to participate in the Spring Festival, what would they do? What is the situation?

Li Er suddenly turned his head and said to Li Wangyou: "Ziyou, it's no problem for the Ministry of Industry to send someone to help you build the academy, but including Chengqian and Qingque, my princes will also enroll together."

He now has nine princes including Li Zhi.

Li Yun, King of Jiang, Li Zhen, King of Yue, and Li Zhi, King of Jin were still young, and Li Kuan, King of Chu, died early.Now, apart from Li Chengqian and Li Tai, those who meet the admission requirements set by Li Wangyou also include Wu Wang Li Ke, Qi Wang Li You, and Shu Wang Li Yin.

Li Wangyou looked a little embarrassed: "Uncle, my nephew's academy is a dormitory system. All students live in the academy, and there is only one day off every ten days. Are you willing to let Cheng Qian go to the academy to study?"

The other princes are fine, Li Chengqian is the prince after all, Li Wangyou is not sure about Li Er and Empress Changsun, so he is willing to let him study in the academy.

What's more, there are officials in the East Palace, such as the prince Zuo Shuzi, who are responsible for teaching and assisting the prince.Even Li Gang had just been called by Li Er to be the prince and grand teacher. It seemed unreliable to ask Li Chengqian to study in the academy at this time.

Li Er nodded: "Didn't you just say, Ziyou? Don't worry about being old and not successful, I'm just afraid that you won't learn when you are young. I just thought about it carefully. Ziyou's academy has merits. I believe it." If I pass you, I will not delay Chengqian and the others."

Since Li Er said so, what else could Li Wangyou say?Can only nod helplessly.

However, in his mind, it would be beneficial to get the princes like Li Er to study in the academy.

Let those little guys stay away from the deep palace, socialize and study with their peers every day, maybe in the future, Li Er's unworthy descendants will do less rebellion and suicide?

But Fang Xuanling also said: "In this case, after Ziyou's academy is completed, the old man's third son's legacy and fourth son's legacy will also be sent to the academy to study, Ziyou, would you like to ?”

Lu Kuan also asked: "Uncle Hu County, I also have two grandchildren, I wonder if they can enroll together?"

Now it's Li Wangyou's turn to be stunned, what is this special thing called?

I originally built the academy, but wanted to teach those poor children, why did I tell Li Er and the others about this, and I wanted to send my children and grandchildren to enroll?If the news of this special meow spreads, those officials and nobles will learn that Li Chengqian and the others are studying in the academy, wouldn't they all want to send their children to the academy?

By that time, wouldn’t the academy I run become a copy of Hongwenguan and Chongwenguan?

Looking at Du Ruhui at the side, he still had a regretful expression.He only has two sons, Du He and Du Gou, and they are almost reaching the crown, so obviously they cannot enter the academy to study.

No, you can't go through the back door!

Li Wangyou sneered at Fang Xuanling and Lu Kuan and said, "Hey, Fang Gong, Lu Gong, it's not that I'm hypocritical, it's really that this academy has its own rules for admission. This... well, you have to take an exam, pass the exam Only then can I enter the academy to study. If I rashly agree to the admission of Fang Gong and Lu Gong’s descendants, there are so many officials and nobles in Chang’an City, it is really hard to shirk at that time. I ask Fang Gong and Lu Gong to forgive me, or wait. After the academy is completed, let them take an entrance examination? With Fang Gong and Lu Gong's family education, it would be a breeze to pass an entrance examination?"

Fang Xuanling and Lu Kuan looked at each other, but they also understood, and they both smiled and nodded in agreement.

However, Li Wangyou said: "However, the academy also intends to enroll girls. If there are girls of the right age in Fang Gong's and Lu Gong's houses, there is no need for a test, and they can be sent directly to the academy."

What he said made Li Er and Fang Xuanling stunned again. Li Wangyou still plans to recruit female students?

Although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was open and there was no defense against men and women as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, women went to school to study, but very few of them.

"Ziyou, I'm afraid it's inappropriate? Your academy is still planning to recruit women? If a man and a woman study together in the academy, there may be more trouble. Ziyou, I advise you, don't do this." Lu Kuan couldn't help it. Speak out to persuade.

Li Wangyou scratched his head helplessly, but he also knew that if he wanted to recruit girls, he would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

Back then in Chang'an City, there was a lot of disturbance just to build a women's toilet, let alone a girls' school.

Fortunately, he and his beautiful boss had already expected this.

"Mr. Lu, it's not a coeducational school, but a special girls' school is built on the side of the academy. Men are not allowed to enter, and female teachers are invited to teach." Li Wangyou said, pointing to a corner of the sketch.

In fact, what kind of girls' school he is, is simply playing around the corner. That area is just a dormitory area for girls.After these girls entered school, they were actually still in the same academy.

Lu Kuan didn't know his plan. He sighed and said, "Ziyou, what's the use of these girls going to school? Even if you teach them to be rich, can they still come out and become officials? Can they be literate and understand righteousness? That's enough, why go to the academy to study? As the saying goes, a wise man makes a city, and a wise woman makes a city, so what's the use of studying for this woman?"

Li Wangyou smiled and said: "Mr. Lu's words are wrong. It is always beneficial for this woman to read some books. Even if she marries a husband-in-law in the future, at least she can write and count, and she can also manage the property of the family, right? What's more If a woman wants to be a husband and a child, how can she teach her own children well if she doesn’t know how to read and write? Your Highness, if you have no talent, how can you write the book "Women's Rules" to teach women all over the world? Lu Gong thinks, is this the truth? ?”
