Chapter 181 It turns out that ancient students also had to learn many subjects
Zhuo Yao has been accompanying Xiaobao. When he heard the comments of these children, he couldn't help but sigh: Scholars are different! But Xiaobao, do you think you have a close relationship with Mr. Shen? I know the inside story, but I won't tell you!
There are also many people who have also discussed this county examination.
Xuezheng asked Song Zhizhou: "I heard that the six-year-old child prodigy is very familiar to you?"
Song Tingshan: "His mother is very familiar with me."
Academic Affairs: "..."
Song Tingshan: "Don't get me wrong, she is from the Secret Investigation Department. She is the only female official in the imperial court, and her rank is not low!"
Academic Affairs: "Is it that Chu Qing?"
Song Tingshan: It’s that Chu Qing.
Academic Affairs: "No wonder! No wonder that kid is so knowledgeable about farming."
Song Tingshan: "Precocious wisdom is one thing, but the bottom line is: whatever his mother does, he will sum up."
Academic Affairs: "With such a hard-working mother, it is understandable that she would teach such a child."
Hu Hengqiu was also talking about this matter at this time. He was called by the emperor to have a small meeting in the imperial study, and the topic turned to Chu Qing.
Hu Hengqiu: "Your Majesty, the number of candidates participating in this year's county examination has increased by 20% compared with previous years!"
Emperor: "Well, very good, these people will be another generation of useful talents in the future. By the way, didn't Chu Qing ask her son to qualify for the exam? Can you refer to it?"
Hu Hengqiu: "I passed the exam, where is the head of the case!"
The emperor raised his eyelids: "Head of the case? Have you passed the academic and political examinations?"
Hu Hengqiu: "After passing the school entrance examination, it is said that I was very impressed by the academic performance and privately said: Such a young boy can be called a child prodigy."
Emperor: "The head of the case is exempted from the imperial examination, but the young children are exempted from the examination?"
Hu Hengqiu: "Yes, I heard that Xuezheng wanted to persuade him to study peacefully, but he was afraid that the child would start too high and find it difficult to continue. I hoped that he could study steadily, but the child calculated his age and said: 'Anyway, there is no education before the age of eighteen. If someone wants to use me, let’s talk about the future later.’ So I first got the reputation of being a scholar.”
The emperor laughed: "This kid is crazy! But a scholar's reputation doesn't mean anything. Let's see what his future holds."
The emperor asked again: "What's going on over there in the military camp?"
Hu Hengqiu: "It's a little late this year, but the seeds have been sown."
Emperor: "Why is it late?"
Hu Hengqiu: "It took many days to select the wasteland. Chu Qing personally walked through the area where the garrison was located, selected a suitable place, and also looked for water and opened canals."
…………
After Hu Hengqiu left, the imperial study became quiet. The emperor waved his hand and Eunuch Li withdrew.
The emperor said to the air: "No group."
A shadow fell lightly.
Shadow knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty."
"If you are not a group, is there any malpractice for personal gain in the Jizhou County Examination?" the emperor asked.
Shadow thought about the conversation in the imperial study room just now, and said: "Back to the emperor, there is no such thing."
"Well, you can stay busy."
The shadow flickered and disappeared again.
…………
Xiaobao got his wish and sat in the first row of Class A in the inner dormitory. He got his wish and saw Mr. Shen walking into the classroom.
Mr. Shen saw Xiaobao as soon as he entered the class, his eyes were quite complicated: Your mother can help me a little, which is better than me running away and having my heart broken!
The students in Class A also had complicated expressions in their eyes: Don't mess with this brat, his mother is very arrogant.
Only Xiaobao is enjoying himself: No one will gossip anymore, right? I got in based on my ability!
In fact, Xiaobao can enter the upper house. Almost all the top or top three cases in several sessions are in the upper house. But Xiaobao still feels that a good foundation should be laid, so he still stays in the inner house.
This was his own choice. In fact, he agreed very much with academic affairs. He should be diligent in his studies and not rush to the imperial examination.
So Xiaobao's choice is to stay in the inner house and continue to lay the foundation, but he must have the title of scholar. With this title, he can go on "study tours" at any time.
You Zhenghang still stayed in Dingban.
It is said that people are more likely to die than others.
You Zhenghang now felt that the whole world was laughing at him.
Now the content of the students' whispers turns out to be about themselves and not about Chu Ting!
He is also a genius and a child prodigy, but Chu Dong has already entered Class A and is still at the top of the children's examination. This is like a star meeting the moon, and his little light is not as good as a firefly.
Jealousy burning, You Zhenghang said that he would work hard to become stronger and must enter the upper house one day earlier than Xiaobao!
What is a scholar? The county examination and the college examination are just elementary examinations, there is nothing better than the provincial examination! Have you ever heard of Jiang Lang who has exhausted his talents? Let’s see how you do when you get there, hum!
The one who felt the best among them was Qiu Sheng. Qiu Sheng looked at the back of Xiaobao's head, then at Mr. Shen, and then at the sign posted vertically on the door: Class A.
A sudden sense of pride fills my chest: Back then, my mother had to endure so many grievances when she struggled to go to school. Now, not only can she go to school in the state, but she has also obtained the qualification to enter Class A. Thanks to Xiaobao for her leadership, and thanks to Shen. Thank you for your careful teaching, sir, and Aunt Chu’s vigorous cultivation!

Zhouxue originally established two classes: "jingyi" and "governing affairs".
The "Jing Yi" course is naturally about studying the principles of the classics; while the "Governing Affairs" course offers four courses: governing the people, teaching martial arts, weiring and calculation, and calculating calendars, requiring students to "govern one thing each and take care of another thing at the same time."
This was established when the professor first came to preside over the Jizhou Prefectural School.
The professor's ideas are very pragmatic. He advocates studying and solving practical problems, opposes empty talk, and advocates the application of book knowledge in practice.
Professors in Daxuan are representatives of teachers in a school and are responsible for imparting professional knowledge, teaching assignments, and formulating the school's teaching plans.
Since the scope of professors' rights is relatively narrow, professors' rights are quickly eclipsed by teachers.
The first two years were fine, but with the replacement of state teachers, these teachers who gradually became the backbone of the school not only had social connections that professors could not match, but also had a background in studying "Classics and Meanings".
The professor's shortcomings in social relations made it impossible for him to compete with these teachers, so that "governing affairs" was in vain.
Otherwise, the "ivory tower"-like existence of the school is really afraid of "pollution" from the outside world.
This child examination produced a six-year-old scholar, and this child's extensive knowledge gave the academic administration some ideas on cultivating all-round talents.
He specially met with the professors of state studies and the prefect of the state, and had a long conversation.
The three people have the same view. They all think:
School is a place to cultivate talents, and the imperial examination is only one of the forms of assessing talents.
As an official of the imperial court, you can't just write articles. You have to understand "laws and calendars, criminal law, astronomy, geography, military affairs, official positions, etc. Although you cannot understand the details, you still have to understand the scale."
Therefore, cultivating talents should not be just for the imperial examination, but should cultivate elites with comprehensive abilities for the imperial court.
Being an official is not just about reading articles.
In fact, this is most in line with the imperial philosophy of scholarship.
Because the imperial examination is not suitable for every kind of talent, those who cannot pass the imperial examination can still take exams in Mingfa, Mingshu, Mingshu and other subjects.
This is somewhat like the classification of modern comprehensive colleges and vocational colleges. However, their exams are not for admission, but for qualifications to enter corresponding positions.
At least you can become an official in a certain department and engage in professional affairs.
So now the two fasts of "jingyi" and "governing affairs" have been standardized again.
The so-called two "zhai" are equivalent to the modern main subjects and minor subjects.
The professor feels that the majors and minors should not be separated at this stage, but should be separated not later than after the students have a certain academic foundation and have fixed their aspirations.
