The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 537: Renovation of Prostitution ([-])

Yu Weiliang also said that many handsome book boys around scholars do this, serving pen and ink during the day and other things at night...

This was so exciting that Song Qingyue was disgusted.

"Doesn't Confucianism advocate the word benevolence? Those scholar-bureaucrats have read the Four Books and Five Classics since they were young!" Song Qingyue cursed in front of Yu Weiliang.

Yu Weiliang touched his nose. They were all colleagues who were officials in the same dynasty. It was inconvenient for him to discuss, but he silently applauded the princess in his heart. He said that he also felt disgusted by the matter of playing with pedophiles.

"Master Yu, if you have rich manpower, please take the time to do me a favor. First, count all the prostitutes in Beijing and Tianjin and give them to me, okay?"

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. If you have any orders, I'll do whatever it takes to get through life and death! The results will be sent to your Majesty in half a month."

While waiting for the result for half a month, Song Qingyue first followed Li Zhao to send the emperor out of the capital on his southern tour.

This time the emperor did not bring any of his concubines with him on his southern tour, but he did bring a bunch of young officials as well as professors, doctors and students from the Academy of Sciences. The Imperial Hospital and the Medical College of Gynecology also each selected five representatives to travel with the emperor. It is said that they planned to recruit apprentices along the way. Coming.

In addition to the three hundred brocade guards, the Firearms Camp sent out 1000 escorts, and Song Chenxu also went with them.

When sending the emperor off, Li Zhao was still mumbling, complaining like a monk chanting sutras that his father spent a lot of money on a trip: "If my son is traveling, there is no need for so many guards! It's hard to save a lot of money in the treasury These, you can see the bottom in one trip to the south!"

The emperor was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Counting this year, it’s been eight years!
He has been on the throne for eight full years!
The number of times I leave the palace can only be counted on my fingers!
If he didn't go out for a walk, he would go crazy from depression.

He glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law, who was silently holding back her laughter, and asked, "Does your eldest daughter-in-law also think that my southern tour is a waste of money from the treasury?"

Song Qingyue naturally shook her head: "Didn't my father bring so many people from the Academy of Science with him on this southern tour? They are not just going out to have fun and not do serious business. This money is well spent!"

The emperor nodded at Song Qingyue and tsked at Li Zhao: "Look at you, you can't see as clearly as your wife!"

Li Zhao still sneered and didn't buy his father's blame: "How can you not disturb the people when you go out like this? Don't the local officials build a lot of construction projects just to welcome you? You can ask the people in the Audit Department to keep an eye on it, maybe you can Uncover a bunch of corrupt officials."

The emperor was choked by his eldest son and could not utter a word to refute. He hummed twice, glanced at Song Chenxu who was accompanying him, and said, "Did you hear that? Go ahead and say it in advance, don't let those local officials mess around!"

Song Chenxu immediately knelt down and patted the dragon's butt: "Your Majesty is dedicated to the people, and he is truly a wise master who is rarely seen in this world. If the people know your Majesty's intentions, everyone must be willing to swear allegiance to your Majesty!"

The emperor laughed and told him to get back on his feet quickly. He was still thinking that the only one in the Song family was Song Jianming, an old guy who was not pleasant to listen to. He liked to argue with himself when he was looking for trouble, and all the children he gave birth to were lovable.

After leaving with the emperor's southern tour group, Li Zhao took Song Qingyue to inspect the Science College branch campus outside the city, Zhaoyue Elementary School Shuntianfu No. [-] branch, and low-rent housing communities.

After chatting with Xiao Jinrong, the current principal of the College of Science, Song Qingyue suddenly came up with the idea of ​​establishing a middle school.

The current three-year study in ordinary primary schools can only allow children to learn the basics. Considering the difficulty of current mathematics competitions and the difficulty of entrance examinations for science colleges, three years of free primary school study is far from enough.

Rich families have begun to hire specialized math teachers to teach their children at home. If children from poor families want to understand linear algebra, analytic geometry, and even calculus, there are only 1 students who can learn it by self-study. It is not always possible to pick out a genius among them, and the difficulty is even more difficult than self-study of the Four Books and Five Classics.

"The path for ordinary people to rise must not be monopolized by aristocratic families!"

On the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion, Li Zhao saw Song Qingyue muttering to herself, and suggested: "The existing primary school should also be extended for one year. It is also a good thing to allow the children to eat lunch at school for one more year." After a pause, he added, "The prince will cover all the extra expenses."

After saying that, he touched his cheek.

Song Qingyue burst out laughing, raised her head and kissed the man on the cheek: "Brother will definitely be a figure admired by all generations in the future."

Li Zhao smiled and accepted the compliment which was not very heartfelt.Song Qingyue said: "Speaking of which, there are not many emperors who can be admired by all generations! There are quite a few emperors who are scolded."

Li Zhao didn't take it seriously: "The history books were not written by the emperor. The pens were in the hands of the literati. Sitting on the throne has the difficulty of sitting on top."

The next day, Mo Zhu, the principal of Zhaoyue Girls' School, several professors from different disciplines in the College of Science, and Ms. Zou, an associate professor in the College of Gynecology, were all called to the Prince's Mansion by the Crown Princess.Song Qingyue officially announced in front of everyone that the academic system of all Zhaoyue primary schools will be changed to a four-year system next year. New textbooks need to be compiled for the additional grade, and the exercise books to accompany the textbooks also need to be prepared simultaneously.

In addition, she is also preparing to establish another three-year free secondary school.

In addition to the three subjects of literature, mathematics, and health, which will continue to be taught, she plans to add another "Science" to middle school students.

This course needs to cover basic physics, chemistry, geography, agriculture, medicine and other subjects. It only requires everyone to have a superficial understanding of the world and does not require students to study in depth.If any of them are interested in any topic, the Prince's Palace will sponsor them to continue their studies in the Faculty of Science. "

Song Qingyue announced this, and everyone clapped and applauded.

The reason... is naturally because the qualifications of students currently admitted to the College of Science are generally skewed. For example, some students who want to enter the College of Agriculture don't even know how big the territory of Dazhou is, and they don't know the differences between regions. It’s so huge that even the most basic principles of growing vegetables and grains need to be adapted to local conditions. They need to be taught by professors.

Ms. Zou from the School of Gynecology also felt that it was difficult for only primary school graduates to come to the medical school to study. In fact, they had already admitted all primary school graduates with excellent grades. However, some children could not even read all the words in the Chinese medicine textbooks. .

Three years is really only enough time to teach people how to read and write. It does take longer to develop other abilities.

Before the meeting ended, Song Qingyue said that she needed to form a teaching material editing team. She hoped that everyone present would nominate three more people to join this teaching material editing team, and strive to cover the fourth grade, as well as the first, second and third grade students before the end of this year. The textbooks and exercise books have been compiled, and two months have to be set aside for plate making and printing.

As for the literature teaching materials, they must be left to Tanhua's father.

After the meeting, she left Mo Zhu alone again.

"What are your orders?" Mo Zhu asked in a low voice after everyone left.

Song Qingyue personally poured a cup of tea for Mo Zhu, sighed and said: "A few days ago, Your Highness and I went to Tianjin for a stroll. It is prosperous, but I saw many prostitutes on the street..."

Mo Zhu's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Song Qingyue. She waited silently for the empress to finish her words.

"They were all skinny and ugly, and when they got closer, there was a rancid smell mixed with powder. I felt very uncomfortable when I looked at them."

Mo Zhu frowned slightly and asked, "Do you want to help them?"

Song Qingyue nodded: "I want to build a separate girls' school for those prostitutes. After they can write and do math, I will send them to a place where no one knows them to be rural female teachers. What do you think?"

"Of course this is a good thing! Your Majesty has thought carefully about it!" Mo Zhu said excitedly, "If we send them here directly, most of the children in the school will have to drop out and build a separate school. It will be good for the current students and good for them. That's fine. It would be even better to send them far away, to a place where no one recognizes them! In the past few years, our girls' school has had several female gentlemen from out of town! Although they are very familiar with I kept silent in the past, but I can guess that each of them is a famous prostitute in their area! I heard this..."

"Don't call yourself a slave!" Song Qingyue corrected.

Mo Zhu smiled calmly and said: "Yes! I heard that the life of those who are secretly prostitutes is much more difficult than that of prostitutes in brothels. If the empress is willing to give them a chance, this is a great thing!"

Song Qingyue was still worried: "I wonder if they are willing to go to school and learn to read..."

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much! In this world, you are the only one who is willing to give them a hand." Mo Zhu started planning, "We can build the school in a remote place, how about the northern suburbs of Baoding? Then We will cover all the food and accommodation, and then let them learn to knit, do some needlework, or help press briquettes! We can give them some wages. When the time comes, they will see that the school can not only feed them There is food and money to be made, anything is better than being a prostitute!"

Song Qingyue nodded: "Yes, if you really can't survive, who would be willing to do that? I will give you a budget of 3000 taels, and you go to Baoding to prepare first. I have already made an agreement with Deputy Commander Yu to let him Help me to find out first. When the time comes, none of those unscrupulous turtle men and madams will even think about it. I will grab the handle and send them all to the mountains to dig coal and burn lime!"
