After making simple arrangements, Emperor Jing said happily: "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?"
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, you won't know until you are born." Fang Zheng chuckled: "I also have some good news."
"Is there any good news? Tell me quickly."
Emperor Jing felt refreshed and comfortable at the moment.
"My lord...there's one here too!"
"Haha, it's great, there's...what!" Emperor Jing was shocked: "Miaohan is also here!"
"Yes." Fang Zheng pursed his lips and smiled: "I just found out not long ago that I came to the palace to announce the good news as soon as I confirmed it."
Emperor Jing walked around with a grin on his face, his joy almost overflowing.
Fang Zhengyi also giggled. This was the first time he saw the emperor acting so rude.
"Double happiness... This is double happiness!"
Emperor Jing laughed loudly, walked up to Fang Zhengyi and patted him hard on the shoulder!
"I will give you thousands of pieces of brocade and hundreds of acres of fertile land, and I will allocate them from the imperial palace. When you go back, you will bring more supplements from the palace. Remember to ask Miaohan to keep her healthy and not to move around easily. By the way, call a few more imperial doctors. In the past, you must not get sick.”
Fang Zheng smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty. However, the princess's palace has already prepared everything it needs. Just give me a reward..."
"This is a reward for Miaohan, what does it have to do with you!" Emperor Jing glared and said without any doubt.
Originally wanting to be modest, Fang Zhengyi quickly shut up.
So cool! The soft rice is really delicious!
After Emperor Jing said this, he sat back down with a smile: "You two have given me some peace of mind. You have brought two pieces of great news, which is really rare."
"Father, don't worry, isn't it just a child? It won't be difficult for my son to have another seventeen or eight in the future!" Li Yuanzhao said proudly.
As he said this, he squinted at Fang Zhengyi.
Hurry up and send me two more sets of new clothes.
Fang Zhengyi nodded slightly.
Men really like dress-up games, everyone is the same....
Although Li Yuanzhao was fussy, Emperor Jing was in a particularly happy mood and nodded with relief.
Give birth, no amount of birth is too much!
Don't be like yourself. You only raise a beast, your lungs are about to explode, and you don't have a choice.
When Emperor Jing's mood gradually recovered, Fang Zhengyi took out a memorial from his waist and shoulder and handed it over.
"Your Majesty, most of the buildings at the Academy of Sciences and Academy have been built and are ready for use."
"The next step is to recruit people from among the people. Students must be selected from among the people. These are the rough regulations. Your Majesty, please read them."
Emperor Jing took the memorial and read it.
It contains dense records of various school regulations, disciplines, levels, and selection criteria for admission to the Academy of Sciences.
"What's the difference between one book and two books in this basic class?" Emperor Jing asked doubtfully.
Fang Zheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is just a simple grading. Students who have just been admitted from private schools must have poor foundation, and everyone must enter the basic class. Only after passing the exam can they be promoted to one level, and then take the exams step by step and finally Once you are promoted to junior college, if you pass your junior college graduation thesis or make inventions, you can enter the Royal Academy of Sciences or stay as a teacher at the school."
"Of course, if there are people with outstanding talents, they can also be promoted to junior college, and it is not impossible to graduate to junior college."
There was nothing further up, and according to his plan he had no intention of setting it up.
Although Taoyuan County has savings, it can barely support the establishment of the Academy of Sciences.
But generally speaking, everything is still in a basic state, and various systems still need to be adjusted through exploration.
"Okay, the planning is quite detailed, so you can go ahead and take care of it first."
"Your Majesty, there is another issue that requires Your Majesty's support." Fang Zheng said.
"I recruit students from the private sector, but people from all walks of life are divided into large and small households. Everyone performs his own duties and can only do the business of his ancestors."
"But after the admissions and basic training, the students must be divided into groups and trained according to their talents and aspirations. If this is the case, I am afraid that it will cause criticism from the DPRK and China."
"So I implore Your Majesty to give the enrolled students an opportunity to change their household classification, so that they can study with peace of mind and avoid being worried."
The so-called household categories are divided into four major categories: military households, civilian households, craftsmen households, and kitchen households. There are also subdivisions below, all of which are recorded in the yellow book.
All households can participate in the imperial examination, but if they fail the imperial examination... they can only do their own profession for the rest of their lives and cannot change it.
Of course, reality is reality, there are always loopholes to exploit, and it is not so strict and rigid.
But colleges are different. Large-scale enrollment and household changes will inevitably lead to criticism from the DPRK and China, so it is necessary to pave the way for students in advance to avoid future troubles.
Emperor Jing was in a good mood at the moment, and it was the right time to make a request.
But after thinking for a long time, Emperor Jing still looked a little embarrassed.
This is an ancestral system and has been practiced this way since ancient times.
"Since studies in the academy are divided into different categories, shouldn't we select students from all walks of life?"
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is too rigid and extremely inefficient."
"Folks say that turtles are originally bastards, and mice's sons burrow in the ground. But in my opinion, this is completely a slander against people. People's talents are not entirely determined by their birth. A mediocre blacksmith also has the potential to become a general in hundreds of battles. . This is also one of the reasons why I urge the establishment of academies of science and colleges, in order to select these talents with outstanding talents. If we follow the old rules, this matter will be difficult to handle."
"That's right! Father! What I said is right, my talents are on the battlefield, but it's a pity that I have no place to use them today!" Li Yuanzhao couldn't help shouting.
Emperor Jing glared fiercely and rubbed his eyebrows again.
"Zhengyi, you really created a problem for me. As soon as you opened your mouth, many people in the court had objections, and all the pressure was put on me."
Fang Zheng's expression froze.
I originally thought it would be easy to handle the matter by mentioning the good news, so it wouldn't be too difficult to make an opening for the college alone.
But this time he obviously underestimated the power of the ancestral system.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a place named Tianzhu."
"Does this matter have anything to do with Tianzhu?" Emperor Jing asked.
"Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say. In the land of India, people have been divided into four categories: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras according to blood since birth. This system is called caste."
"These four types of people can only stay within their own class throughout their lives and will never get ahead. The people in the upper class regard the people in the lower class as pigs and dogs, and the people in the lower class are content with it."
Emperor Jing suddenly reacted and frowned: "You want to say that the difference between households is the difference between caste?!"
"This is really unreasonable! Our great city has an imperial examination, and any common people can be promoted through the imperial examination. Moreover, people who are well-read and sensible take the rise and fall of the world as their own responsibility. How can this ridiculous Tianzhu compare?"
