"Chen Qing, a student from Wucheng Academy, will not be going to be an official in the court after graduation, so why should this school become a school for the court?" Yun Yu's expression changed a little, but then he returned to normal and said.

"Your Majesty just said that he was training the ministers to assist in the future. Why do you say that they will not enter the court in the future? Isn't your princes learning how to assist your princes and your princes in the Five City Academy?"

"Chen Qing, you think it's bad. There were private schools everywhere in the Ming Dynasty to teach students who had not passed the exam for scholars. Will these private schools also belong to the court? In my opinion, the Five City Schools are private schools."

"How can the Five City School be equivalent to a private school?"

"Why can't Wucheng Academy be equated with a private school? The students recruited by private schools are children who have never been to school. The students recruited by Wucheng Academy are only twelve or thirteen years old. Wucheng Academy is a private school, but the students in this private school are all members of the Ming Dynasty or nobles."

"And I want to teach the royal family or noble children in the Wucheng Academy, not the academic study of governing the country. My main purpose is to cultivate them into moral, healthy, and knowledgeable about all aspects, rather than officials. Even if they graduate from Wucheng Academy, they will not become officials immediately. If they are officials, they still need to observe politics. This is just like those who pass the imperial examination after studying in a private school. If a scholar is an official, he must pass the Jinshi or go to the Imperial College to attend school."

"From this point of view, the graduates of Wucheng Academy are similar to scholars. Since the school where Tongsheng studied is a private school, Wucheng Academy should also be a private school, and the court should not bear the school's expenses."

Chen Ji seemed to be convinced by him. Although he did not think that the graduates of Wucheng Academy had the same prospects as scholars, according to Yun Yu's words, the nature of Wucheng Academy was indeed the same as that of private schools; although the tuition fee was definitely high, the students were all nobles and they were not short of the money.

But Yun Ying himself knew that the reason he told Chen Ji was just an excuse, not a real reason. The real reason was that Yun Ying wanted to establish a free school, a truly free school.

Just now, Yun Ying told Chen Ji that the establishment of a student union and that the students elect the student union officer and class leader was to de-administratively. What he did not say at the time was that the reason for de-administratively and not allowing the Five City Schools to belong to the court was to establish a free school.

In later generations, China's education system has always been criticized by the Chinese people. Even the country knew that there were problems and said it would be changed many times. It did reform and implemented "quality education". However, the people only found that the expenses used for children's education were getting bigger and bigger, but the education system did not change substantially. The academic burden for middle school and primary school students is still very large. College students and many college students, even if their grades are not bad, still cannot learn much useful things for their work.

And the reason for this is that the state controls schools.

To be honest, the state controls schools not necessarily for bad purposes. The state actually wants to ensure fairness and should use a fair way to measure all students so that students can choose who can go to middle school and university through a fair competition.

To achieve such a goal, it is necessary to remove things that are not easy to quantify, give all students a set of standard answers, and answer questions according to the standard answers in the exam. In this way, fairness is ensured in form. The administrativeization of schools is a means to achieve this goal.

But the problem is that things that are not easy to quantify are the problems encountered in actual work and life; and those standard answers are not available to anyone except for a very small number of people who do academic research. This method of education in the country actually violates the real purpose of education - smooth employment. If students cannot learn useful things, it will be difficult to find employment smoothly. What is the significance of being fair?

At the same time, different students have different talents. Some are good at mathematics, some are good at composition, some are good at chemistry, and some are good at history, but in the end, everyone has to take these subjects. Even if those who are biased towards subjects are high, they cannot get into good schools even if they can't get the total score. What's more, some are good at things that are unquantifiable, which is even more unfair. For example, Neville Longbotton in "Harry Potter" has no grades as good as Hermione's subjects except herbal medicine. Neville must not be able to get into a good university or become a professor in China. On the contrary, Hermione can be admitted to a good university and stay in school to teach, but Neville's herbal medicine is definitely better than Hermione.

In addition, the state controls schools and has another purpose, which is to control students' thoughts. In fact, this is a common traditional problem. Didn't Zhang Juzheng also attack private academies in history? The fundamental reason is that the state needs to maintain national stability through the control of people's thoughts.

Yun's idea is different from the rulers of all dynasties. The result of strict ideological control is that the country has no progress. The most typical example is of course the Qing Dynasty. Although all dynasties wanted to control ideas, for various reasons, the control power was not too high in the middle and late dynasties. Even if there was an imperial examination system, various "heretic" theories were inevitably spread. However, the Qing Dynasty still firmly controlled the ideas of intellectuals until before the Opium War, making the level of progress of the Qing Dynasty the lowest in all dynasties. Therefore, for the sake of the country, we cannot control the thoughts too strictly.

But if you are too relaxed, it is likely that it will make it difficult for an agricultural country like the Ming Dynasty to maintain unity. You must find a balance between this. Yun Yu thought about it and finally decided to open a gap in the aristocrats in the capital, this alliance that Yun Yu determined to maintain national rule.

In order to achieve Yun's goal, he could not only limit himself to making Wucheng Academy a private school, but also had other supporting measures.

"Chen Qing," Yun-hyun continued to instruct: "The course professors in this school will also be completely different from other schools."

"First, the total score is 00 points per year, including 100 points in military and military, 100 points in liberal arts, and 100 points in class."

"Junwu now only offers two courses, which is 50 points per course. Wuyi class, because they learn something superficial, the teacher will set the examination charter and score according to the charter; physical education class, now practice Cuju, so each class will form a team, and each class will compete with each other. The class score will be determined first according to the score and wins during the game, and then the individual score will be determined based on the students' performance in the team, for the goals and the contribution of winning."

"I will personally formulate the score charter for the first year, and from the second year, I will hand it over to the teacher who teaches this course. The charter for the competition is completely different from the current Cuju competition. I will tell the teacher who teaches the course, and I won't tell you in detail at this time."

"The total number of liberal arts is 100 points, and now there are seven courses, including three courses in classics, history, and grammar. Each of them is 0 points, and each of these four courses is 10 points."

"I will not talk about this course in Gezhi myself. The total scores of the other courses are divided into two parts, one is the usual performance and the other is the examination score. Taking the course of etiquette as an example, the performance accounts for 4 points and the examination score accounts for 6 points."

"The professors of liberal arts are also different from all current schools, whether they are Imperial College or local private schools. In class, students are allowed to question whether the teacher teaches right or wrong, especially the two courses of classics and history."

"Your Majesty," Chen Ji suddenly said. He didn't understand some of the words Yun Yu said, and did not agree with His Majesty's instructions, but he kept holding back and waiting for the emperor to ask before he finished speaking. But he couldn't help but hear this sentence. "Your Majesty, the meaning of the scriptures is what the saints say, how can they be questioned? Although the historical records may not be true, what can young students question?"

'What Confucius wrote must be correct? It cannot be questioned?' Yun Ying said in his heart. However, he must not say this, and could only smile and said, "Do you still remember that after I returned to Beijing from Annan in the spring of the fifth year of Jianye, the court issued an order to abolish the order of the wife's family to exempt her from the servants' family from work?"

"I remember."

"At that time, the great Confucian scholars of Neo-Confucianism mentioned that 'only women and villains are difficult to raise' as Confucius' remarks for belittling women. However, Chen Ying, based on other words in the Analects of Confucius, concluded that the word "female" is a common false character and the word "ru", thus concluding that Confucius never had any remarks for belittling women."

"It's true. Your Majesty."

"This example is enough to show that the original intention of a saint is naturally unquestionable, but later generations may not be correct in their interpretation of classics such as "The Analects of Confucius". Therefore, I asked the students of Wucheng Academy to question whether the teacher was right or wrong, not to ask them to question the original intention of a saint, but to question whether the teacher's interpretation is correct."

"The course of history is also average. Just like "The Three Kingdoms" and "The Book of Jin" lack too much information, so many things can only be speculated. Even if the old man who has studied "The Three Kingdoms" for a lifetime, what he said may not be correct. Moreover, many times, the longer he studied a certain historical book, the more likely he is to fall into a certain problem and make mistakes that others seem very shallow, but he is still confused. Young students do not have many rules and regulations, so they may not wake up the old man."

"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Ji said in conscience.

"Haha," Yun Xu smiled a few times. These were the words he had prepared for several days before he prepared, so he naturally seemed wise.

Chen Ji asked a few more questions he didn't understand, and Yun Xun answered them one by one. Then he continued: "The class of etiquette is not allowed to be questioned, but students can ask the teacher why this is stipulated. I haven't thought of anything to question in these three courses, but it may not be doubtful, so I will first tell the students that they can question and modify it if there is something wrong."

"But," Yun-Yu said in a stressful tone: "All students should be respectful when questioning and should not be disrespectful to their husbands. The punishment for disrespect to their husbands in the school rules also applies to disrespectful to their husbands when questioning."

"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Ji praised. (To be continued)
