Main hall.

As the second generation of the royal family has grown up in recent years, many of them have left Beijing to join the feudal clan.

However, in the past two years, princes and princes came to Beijing to study in the main hall, and more students were added to the main hall.

Because now it seems that the size of the main hall is larger than in the past.

However, the location of the main hall is still located in the Imperial Palace.

Fang Xiaoru has now taken the position of chief of the Dabentang, but with the advancement of Hongwu's New Deal, the Dabentang has also added many different training contents for the royal children.

For example, Zhang Ergong, who is no longer the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has half-day classes at the main hall every other day and needs to teach engineering knowledge to the royal children.

Another example is that many of the meritorious military attachés at the Martial Arts Hall also need to go to the main hall regularly for instruction.

Even the Shanglinyuan Supervisor has never been left behind.

Yuan Sutai, the Imperial Young Master, would naturally not come in person, but the few students he taught personally confirmed that the textbooks were taught in the main hall.

Fang Xiaoru naturally disagreed with this at first. He believed that the Hanlin Academy should be the only source of teaching for the cultivation of royal disciples in the main hall.

However, after a period of practice, Fang Xiaoru became a supporter of this educational reform.

After all, in Fang Xiaoru's view, at least he could make these royal disciples distinguish between grains and know when to plant what. That was really a real achievement in enlightenment.

Especially at a certain time, when Fang Xiaoru had not yet accepted this new education model for royal children. Just as he was complaining, cabinet minister Gao Yangzhi made a special trip to the main hall.

Gao Yangzhi didn't say much to Fang Xiaoru.

He only said one sentence, or in other words, only asked Fang Xiaoru one question.

Do the royal disciples all have to be trained to be a saint?

Just such a simple question made Fang Xiaoru break into a cold sweat on the spot.

Then he hid in a small dark room by himself, thought deeply for several days, and finally made a decision that he never told anyone.

He began to consciously train the royal children in the main hall in various weird directions.

For example, in the main hall, there are several royal family members who are clamoring all day long to go to the Longjiang Shipyard to try to verify their ideas.

Others are preparing to go to the artillery factory where the general will serve as a supervisor.

There were even a few royal children who were originally low-key and introverted. After a long time, they told Fang Xiaoru that they hoped to do some research in the textile industry cluster outside the city.

So Fang Xiaoru hid in the small dark room again and was secretly happy for several days.

He felt that to a large extent, he had avoided the negative factors and influences that might have arisen when the royal family was passing on the inheritance.

Finally, Mr. Fang waved his hand.

He cut off most of the emperor's skills and sage articles that he thought he had, and then spent most of every day doing various new courses in the main hall.

today.

The first class was Fang Xiaoru’s class.

After the half-day class in the morning, there is a military formation drill class in the martial arts hall. When the students get hungry from training, they have a lunch break and continue the afternoon class.

Today’s topic is about the four domains.

I saw all the children of the royal family in Beijing gathered together in the huge classroom.

The main hall, regardless of grade, all attend classes together. When the second-generation royal children reach the age of age, they will all join the feudal clan directly.

In class, the royal children remained silent.

Fang Xiaoru stood in front of the lectern.

Behind him is a large blackboard that has been added since new courses were added.

On it is a simplified map of the Ming Dynasty and its surrounding areas.

I also marked the direction and several important locations around it.

Fang Xiaoru put on her long gown and held a teaching stick in her hand.

"Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Central Plains has been the orthodoxy in the eastern lands."

"In the Han Dynasty, there were four generals to conquer and four to conquer, corresponding to the four directions."

"However, the conquest of the West has another name."

"The east is the heart. If you don't obey the king's orders, it's called rebellion. If you attack someone from above, it's called a conquest."

“The south is desolate and remote, and those who do not respect education are called barbarians, but those who combine kindness and power are called caretakers.”

"The West belongs to Fan. If someone is disrespectful at times, it is called rebellion, but if he is punished for his crimes, it is called punishment."

"In the Northern Wei Empire, frequent intrusions are called thieves, and large-scale attacks and killings are called expeditions."

The teaching stick moved around the blackboard.

Fang Xiaoru then looked at the royal students present with a kind and filial smile: "This time our dynasty has become a prosperous dynasty. The four regions are gradually becoming peaceful. The exchanges and resource transfers in the East China Sea, Nanyang, Western Ocean, and the New World are becoming increasingly abundant. If this dynasty wants to succeed,

For example, under the rule of Wenjing in the former Han Dynasty, the rule of Zhenguan in the former Tang Dynasty, or the prosperous Kaiyuan period, the national policy of managing the Western Regions has been established. What do you think should be called when this country moves westward and restores the Western Regions?"

The young twenty-three Zhu Huang, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Sir, are you calling Xidu?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Huang's big eyes rolled around.

I made Mr. Fang unhappy some time ago, and then I was beaten up by my father and brother as a matter of course.

I heard that Ge Ge'er's Xicheng project is about to open recently. I have to perform well and try to get out of the palace for a walk on my days off.

Fang Xiaoru was not in a hurry to give an answer, but looked at the twenty-third prince with a smile.

This child has a pure nature, but he is a bit naughty, so he still needs to be tightened from time to time.

Fang Xiaoru's eyes looked around the classroom again.

"Sir, the student thinks that if the imperial court wants to send troops to the Western Regions at this time, it still needs to see how the imperial court positions the Western Regions before it can be called this name. Our imperial army has always used troops with a reputation, whether it is to fight against rebellion or to defeat thieves.

Origin."

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Jixi, the crown prince of Jin Dynasty, slowly stood up.

He looks elegant, and like the other uncles and brothers in the school, they all wear Confucian clothes, but his figure is slimmer and thinner, like a handsome young master.

Fang Xiaoru showed a smile on his face and asked softly: "Then what do you think?"

Zhu Jixi looked calm and spoke slowly: "Based on our thousand-year origins in the Central Plains, the west of Yangguan and the east of Congling can be said to be the old places of the Central Plains. Based on this, when the Ming Dynasty sends troops to the Western Regions, it can be said to be a Western Expedition.

And if we say that to the west of Congling, the former Tang Dynasty also marched forward, the expedition is acceptable. However...if the imperial court's purpose of sending troops to the Western Regions this time is far beyond that of the former Tang Dynasty, and it intends to connect with the Southern Region, then it can be regarded as a challenge."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Jixi cupped his hands and sat down slowly.

Fang Xiaoru had a look of satisfaction on her face.

It can be used whether it is for levying or begging.

On the other hand, cutting and caressing are not enough.

In the Central Plains, there has always been an expedition only by sending troops to the north, which is called the Northern Expedition.

Throughout thousands of years, only Emperor Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, has accomplished such a feat during the Northern Expedition.

As for the former Han champion Hou Huo Qubing, he used it to attack the Xiongnu from the north.

As for the word "fu", it has always been used to appease all kinds of barbarians in the south.

At least now the Ming Dynasty's southern expeditionary army, when the troops were sent south, the word "fu" was used in the decree.

Smooth the Southern Territory.

Fang Xiaoru clapped her hands and said: "What the Crown Prince of Jin said has become the norm. The twenty-third prince should remember that everything has a reason, but it is not exactly what the ancestors said. But today the twenty-third prince is the first to raise his hand.

The answer will be worth five points."

Five points!

Little Twenty-Three Zhu Huang's face immediately showed a smile.

You know, I was originally the one who deducted points in the main hall.

Which time did I not buckle my own buttocks?

He was about to cheer, but he immediately reacted.

That’s a full five points!

God knows how difficult it is to get five extra points after waiting for a thousand years!

Zhu Huang suppressed the joy in his heart, clasped his hands and bowed in an orderly manner, and bowed to Fang Xiaoru on the podium.

"The student thanked sir."

As long as I tell my dad and brother today about the score I got in class, I will definitely get a chance to go out of the palace to play in the West City on my day off.

Fang Xiaoru became more and more satisfied, stroking his beard and nodding repeatedly.

Do you see it?

This is the power of education!
