And outside the classroom.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still wearing the coarse linen clothes that had been patched for three years, with a smile on his face.

Although these coarse linen clothes have always been washed clean, they are getting older and older.

But he was reluctant to throw it away. As long as he could mend it, he would let the embroiderers in the palace mend it.

Because this is what the Queen originally made piece by piece, stitch by stitch, and left for herself.

Beside him was Zhu Biao in regular clothes.

Even after Zhu Biao took over the throne of the Ming Dynasty, he was still the same as before, without many changes.

He followed the old man with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Fang has become more knowledgeable now." Zhu Biao affirmed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "He was originally a learned man, but he was a bit old-school. In recent years, there have been a few changes, and he also knows that the country cannot remain unchanged, and learning can naturally be improved day by day."

Zhu Biao glanced at Fang Xiaoru, who was in the classroom and had already begun to try to lead the students on how to deal with local problems if the imperial court regained the Western Regions and continued to advance westward.

He whispered: "Mr. Fang is also serving in the Hanlin Academy now and has taught in the main hall for many years. Can we mention it again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at his boss.

"You are the emperor now, and you should make the final decisions on these matters in the court."

Zhu Biao smiled and shook his head: "My son has been in charge of the imperial court since the beginning of the country, and my father has always entrusted the government to his son. But even if the son is now on the throne, he is still his father's son. State affairs are family affairs.

Family affairs are also national affairs.”

Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face: "You kid... I'm afraid you have already made plans for Xiaoru's arrangements."

Zhu Biao still smiled and said: "My son feels that Mr. Fang has improved his knowledge over the years, but it is still a bit inappropriate to hold an actual position in the court.

However, Mr. Fang has greatly improved his studies and has shown tolerance and annexation. Why not let him take over the job of offering wine to the Imperial College? In the future, how about using the Imperial College as the source to try out the education issues for thousands of students in our country?

"

Although the imperial court has now introduced the metric system for examination, it is no longer limited to the Four Books and Five Classics.

However, at the local level, there has never been time to build a complete system for education issues in other subjects.

Subjects such as engineering, arithmetic, and military affairs are still limited to self-study or family education.

Jiangwutang can be regarded as a pioneer in educational reform in military affairs.

But compared to the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army, and the Jiangwu Hall only has more than a hundred freshmen selected from the army every year, this proportion is still too small.

But now as various new types of ordnance are put into use, another new problem has arisen.

That is, the military needs more talents with higher military capabilities.

For example, new warships, just the operation and maintenance of a steam engine require more people who master this technology.

New artillery, especially mortars, require a larger number of artillerymen who are proficient in arithmetic and military skills and can calculate the trajectory of artillery shells.

The simplest solution to such a problem is to carry out reforms from the court side.

Promote education reform in Ming Dynasty.

In the school, there is not only the teaching of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the teaching of various new subjects.

even……

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "You mean, the establishment of a specialist college that Brother Xu proposed before?"

Zhu Biao nodded.

The establishment of junior college is a new idea.

Zhu Yunxi had already proposed it as early as the 29th year of Hongwu.

At that time, it happened to be the time when the martial arts lecture hall was beginning to take effect and the first two batches of graduates returned to the army.

The response from the Governor's Office was very good, so the issue of setting up a specialist school was raised.

Zhu Biao said softly: "Now the Imperial College has been used as a pilot program to open different disciplines. Later, in the capital, special specialist schools were set up, such as engineering schools, military schools, etc.

The school admits students from the Imperial College. After completing their studies and passing the examination, they can be directly selected to serve in the Ministry of Industry or the Metropolitan Governor's Office.

Once this is proven feasible, schools can be set up in each provincial capital to bring together all disciplines and teach them together, and then students can apply for admission to various specialist colleges in the capital according to their own wishes."

This was actually the idea proposed by Zhu Yunxi at that time.

First, a junior college with allotment was established in Yingtian, and when it was almost done, it was expanded to recruit students directly from various places, then teach in various places, and finally apply for the junior college in the capital.

This is actually another subdivision of the Ming education system based on the policy of taking metric exams.

In this way, the influence of traditional Confucianism on the Ming Dynasty can be slowly weakened step by step.

When people discovered that it was difficult to enter the court and become an official just by relying on Confucianism, but by learning other things, it was easier to become an official or join the army and become a senior general.

At that time, people all over the world will be able to spontaneously abandon Confucianism and learn new subject knowledge without the need for guidance from the imperial court in the form of national policies.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time.

Even in the classroom, Fang Xiaoru shouted that get out of class was over, and the prince and grandson rushed out of the classroom screaming, but they were not noticed.

On the other hand, the princes and grandsons, who had been in class for a full hour, just rushed out of the classroom and saw the old man and Zhu Biao standing outside. They immediately shut up and even walked with slow steps.

After a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang just saw the grievances floating in front of his eyes.

He glared at Little Twenty-Three, who was peeking at him secretly at the door.

Then he said to Zhu Biao: "I feel that this cannot be done in this matter..."
