After Zhang Yue took charge of Imperial College, his academic style indeed changed.

The first is to strictly prohibit Taixue disciples from lingering in the brothel and Chu palace.

You must know that the largest red light district in Bianjing is next to Taixue. The story of the young and talented Taixue students and the brothel girls is the most familiar in the streets of Bianjing.

When Zhang Yue was studying at Imperial College, a classmate went to care for a woman who had lost her footing. As a result, her legs swelled and she couldn't get out of bed for several days and nights, and even fainted from the pain. When his mother saw that his legs were swollen like this, she thought he was working too hard in studying, so she hugged his legs and rubbed him all night.

When the classmate woke up the next day, he was filled with regret after seeing this scene. He gave up this hobby and studied hard and passed the Jinshi examination.

Of course, Zhang Yue didn't mention Huang Haoyi's matter anymore.

In short, after Zhang Yue took charge of the Imperial College, he strictly controlled the comings and goings of students. Except for the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, those who left the school without any reason would be detained in the court.

Strict school discipline and correct school spirit.

Of course, Zhang Yue's most important thing was to follow the discussion at the court meeting that day. In Wang Anshi's words, it was to teach them, raise them, and use them to cultivate talents.

To teach it is to use the Suhu teaching method.

If you nourish them, you will nourish the people.

Wang Anshi often uses the rhetoric of being a middle-aged person. It doesn’t matter whether there are smart people or stupid people, gentlemen or villains. The purpose of our education is to target the middle-aged people.

This is the purpose of the imperial court to raise scholars.

Like Fan Zhongyan when he was studying in Taixue, he cooked porridge in the morning and divided it into four parts after it cooled down. He ate two parts in the morning and two parts in the evening. Although this situation is a beautiful talk of a scholar-official, it cannot happen again.

Poverty can temper a person's will, but it is more likely to completely destroy a person, especially for middle-aged people.

Therefore, Wang Anshi proposed to support scholars, and Zhang Yue also deeply agreed.

How to raise a scholar? Where does the money come from?

From the printed book.

The Imperial College was already engaged in printing books, but during the Zhenzong Dynasty and the Renzong Dynasty, the market competition was severe, and the books printed by the Imperial College were completely defeated by private bookshops such as Jianyang Bookstore, so the Imperial College's printing industry was completely abandoned.

But when Zhang Yue went to inspect the library of the Imperial College, he found that the lacquer boards of the Qunjing that had been passed down from the time of Emperor Taizong were still there. Both the Nine Classics and the lacquer boards of Shuyi were well preserved.

These lacquer boards are very precious because the wars during the Five Dynasties made the Nine Classics engraved at that time very scattered, and there were many errors and omissions.

After Emperor Taizong saw this, in order to admire Confucianism and promote learning, he arranged for the Imperial College students at that time to engrave the book and make sure to proofread it in detail.

There are as many as 100,000 lacquer boards used in the library at that time, and they are all made of high-quality materials and are very well preserved.

So now Zhang Yue picked it up again.

Zhang Yue requested the imperial court to promulgate a decree, that is, from now on, books on classics, history and philosophy used in schools all over the world must be engraved by the Imperial College, and other private bookshops are not allowed to engrave them.

Zhang Yue also learned this from Wang Anshi. Why does the Imperial College Bookshop suppress private bookshops? Am I that shameless?

Zhang Yue's reason is also very sufficient and very upright, that is, the brief meanings of the Nine Classics engraved in his private bookshop are full of loopholes and often contain typos. The editor of the bookstore is like an online writer who doesn't want to proofread.

This kind of book is fine for daily reading, but it is not good for using it in explaining provincial examinations.

Nowadays, instead of poems and poems, scholars are selected based on the classics and their meanings. Nowadays, the demand for books with annotations on the classics and their meanings has increased dozens of times.

The Guozijian Bookstore reopened by Zhang Yue had a monopoly on textbooks and commentaries on classics and meanings.

After the imperial decree was promulgated, major bookstores began to order from the Imperial College Bookstore, and all advance payments were made. There are also various prefectural schools, prefecture schools and county schools on the way to purchase from the Imperial College.

In addition, Zhang Yue also stipulated that the top five papers from each examination must be handed over to the Imperial College for review to see if there are any irregularities in text or formatting.

At the same time, the same is true for the provincial examination papers.

Zhang Yue said so, but in fact he also planned to have all these historical texts printed and published by the Imperial College. That's right, the Imperial College not only had to monopolize the teaching materials, but also the imperial examination reference books.

As for the calligraphers of Song script, Huang Haoyi also helped Zhang Yue find them.

From now on, with the exception of the Nine Classics, all printed editions of the Imperial College will be engraved in Song script to save costs.

The Imperial College Bookstore has not yet officially opened, but Zhang Yue's instructions immediately helped the Imperial College turn a profit, paying out all the teachers' salaries for several months and redeeming all the school property that had been mortgaged.

And Wang Anshi knew that the Imperial College, which was originally unable to make ends meet, was brought back to life in an instant under Zhang Yuejing. He was silent for a long time, unable to say a word.

He seemed to feel that Lu Huiqing could take a break, and it would be a good idea to let Zhang Yue handle the specific details of the reform.

After having money, Zhang Yue became more confident, so he didn't have to look at Wang Anshi's face all day long and ask him for money.

With only the income from printing books, Zhang Yue could make the Imperial College self-sufficient and even have a surplus. With Qian, Zhang Yue can freely act according to the strategy of raising scholars formulated by Wang Anshi.

Raising a scholar is divided into outer house, inner house and upper house.

It turns out that there were students from the Guangwen School under the Imperial College. Most of the students from the Cantonese School came to the capital to study at their own expense. The court sometimes looked at their pity and gave them some meals from time to time.

However, after Wang Anshi expanded the enrollment in the Imperial College, the Guangwen School was cancelled.

The outer residence of the Imperial College established by Zhang Yue replaced the Guangwen Hall.

There are 1,200 students born in the outer dormitory, and those who enter the outer dormitory of the Imperial College will each be given a set of Nine Classics books, provided with free accommodation, and exempted from hard labor, but meals and tuition and miscellaneous expenses are not exempted.

There are 500 students in the inner dormitory. Those who enter the inner dormitory of the Imperial Academy will receive a monthly food subsidy of 300 yuan in addition to books, but tuition fees and miscellaneous expenses are unavoidable.

There are 200 students born in the Upper House. Those who enter the Upper House in the Imperial College will receive not only books and meal subsidies, but also monthly subsidies for tuition and miscellaneous expenses.

You must know that for Taipei students, it is also difficult to study at night. Many students without tuition money can only rely on street lights to study.

In addition to the preferential treatment of tuition money, Shangshe students can also be awarded grades through examinations.

For example, Xuezheng, Xuelu, and Xuejue in Taixue are management positions in Taixue. Although they are held by Taixue students, they are all official positions officially awarded by the imperial court. Now they must be filled by Shangshe students.

At the same time, those with excellent academic performance can be exempted from the entrance examination, that is, they can skip the entrance examination and directly take the provincial examination.

What is particularly outstanding is that he is exempted from provincial examinations, and even provincial examinations are waived, and he can directly take the palace examination. Because he didn't give up in the palace examination, he was ranked the worst in the final examination and was ranked fifth.

The best thing is to get an official appointment directly without taking the exam.

Or for students who have been in Shangshe for many years but have never passed the Jinshi examination, the court can also grant official positions as appropriate.

It's just that such an official position has no background, and the promotion speed is extremely slow.

Zhang Yue had been in charge of Taixue for less than two months, but he had successfully implemented Wang Anshi's Sanshe method.
