I studied in modern times

Chapter 402 School District Room

As soon as Zhao Xu finished speaking, both palaces laughed happily.

"What are Sixth Brother planning to do?" Queen Mother Xiang asked dotingly.

She fell in love with this child more and more.

Zhao Xu replied with a smile: "I plan to use part of the tax collected by the Song and Liao Dynasties as capital to use the ancestral residences of Wang, Xu, Chen and other families who served as officials as the core, and then purchase nearby residential buildings and connect them together." It will be integrated into one piece and then transformed into appropriate residential houses for sale to the people of Bianjing."

Wang, Chen, Xu, etc. are the nobles who were unlucky with Zhang Ji some time ago.

Although these people are not as prominent as the Zhang family, they are all noble families from the Zhenmiao and Renmiao eras.

It belongs to the kind of family where someone was once selected into the harem, and then got some favors and was promoted to an official position.

At that time, residences were also given to everyone, generally ranging from tens to hundreds of people.

During the Zhenmiao and Renmiao eras, the houses given to concubines and concubines were generally concentrated in the inner city.

What's more interesting is that the houses of these families are all concentrated in Jing'anfang, the second left wing of the inner city.

This workshop is very famous among modern people who study the history of Song Dynasty.

Because according to unofficial records, when Zhao Ji, that bastard, went out of the palace to prostitute Li Shishi, he "left Donghua Gate and walked two miles to Zhen'anfang (Jing'anfang)."

Therefore, a lot of people are researching where Jing'anfang is?
After researching and researching, I finally found out that Jing'anfang is located near Huihefang, not far from Dawa Temple, and is probably in the area inside the old Fengqiu Gate.

It was Zhao Xu who helped them verify the specific location.

The triangle area is south of Dawa Temple, north of Ganlu Temple ruins, and east of Donghua Gate.

It is about [-] steps away from Zhaoqingfang and less than [-] steps away from Donghuamen.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ji was able to leave the palace in the middle of the night to steal people, and then return before dawn.

Because of this research result, Zhao Xu even received a scholarship in modern times.

Far away.

As of now, Jing'an Fang and its surrounding Huihe Fang, Guangfufang, etc. are all old cities with a long history.

These places have been burned by fire more than once.

Therefore, there are a large number of illegally built residential buildings, which are the most chaotic areas in the inner city of Bianjing.

A gathering place for countless local gangsters.

But because it is relatively close to the Imperial City, it is located in the radiation zone of the main east-facing Imperial Street of Bianjing City.

Therefore, it is also a place where many people keep outhouses.

In the past few days, Zhao Xu, along with the banquet officials, companions and officials from Kaifeng Prefecture, had figured out the situation in Bianjing City.

Under his influence, people around him can recite a lot of data about Bianjing City almost with their eyes closed.

Population, household registration, crime rate...

The public security of Jing'anfang ranks among the worst in the entire inner city of Bianjing.

The only ones that can compete with it are Panlou Street where Fanlou is located, Tushizi, and a few sweet water alleys.

Therefore, under the influence of Zhao Xu, people around him have almost reached a consensus-Jing'anfang is the cancer of Bianjing!

As long as the problem of Jing'anfang is solved, other problems of Bianjing City can also be solved.

"Sell it to the people?" Both palaces were curious about Zhao Xu's whimsical idea.

This really made their eyes light up, and they already knew in their hearts that this idea might be feasible.

Because, Bianjing City is always rich in land.

Even the vegetable gardens outside the city are worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars per acre.

Empress Dowager Xiang has a deep understanding of this - her family's ancestral tombs and temples where ancestral gods worship and pray for blessings were purchased bit by bit from vegetable farmers outside the city after the family spent a lot of money and decades. down.

Thanks to her becoming the queen, the late emperor ordered the family temple to be built.

Otherwise, Xiang Jia might have to work hard for decades.

But the problem is-

"Brother Six, the house price in Bianjing is so high, who can afford it?" Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but remind her.

The high housing prices in Bianjing City are not enough for ordinary people.

Even high-ranking officials were trembling.

At that time, Ouyang Xiu had become a Hanlin bachelor, but he still couldn't afford a house in Bianjing, so he could only rent ordinary people's houses. So he wrote a poem and lamented: I came to the capital to live in a house with no disadvantages.Xianfang and ancient houses, humble and miscellaneous.

Mei Yaochen, another high-ranking official who was in Bianjing with Ouyang Xiu, was in a similar situation. He wrote to Ouyang Xiu: Where did the duckweed come from? The green leaves surround me.The wall has been destroyed, and the house is only supported by the walls.

Generally speaking, unless ordinary officials are corrupt and bribery, and there is no lower limit to corruption and bribery, if they want to have a house in Bianjing, they can only rely on the emperor to grant a house.

That's why Wang Gongchen is so disgusting.

He actually built a mansion worth hundreds of dollars in Bianjing City!

If there is no corruption, who would believe it?
Zhao Xu smiled and answered the Queen Mother's question: "Don't worry, Mother, I have already considered it."

"These houses are sold to specific groups of people."

"Huh?" Queen Mother Xiang didn't understand. How could there be someone who was taken advantage of and willing to spend a lot of money to buy a house in Bianjing City?

Zhao Xu replied: "What I want to sell is a person from the prefectures and counties in the world who want to send his children to study in Kaifeng Prefecture."

Kaifeng Fuxue is the well-deserved No. 1 school in the Song Dynasty today!

It is the highest institution that people all over the world are flocking to and trying every possible means to get into!
Not only because the people who studied in the government schools were either the children of the prime ministers, the children of the elders, or the kind of geniuses in the world.

It’s also because Kaifeng Fufu School’s quota of Fajie Examination and Imperial College quotas are the best in the world!
In Jiangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Huaihe, where even the locals can't stand it, there may be thousands of people vying for a spot in the exam.

But in Kaifeng Mansion, the competitive pressure is greatly reduced, and there is no need to compete for the first place among thousands of roll kings.There are only a few dozen competitors who can defeat hundreds of people.

Not only that, the number of candidates who graduated from Kaifeng Prefecture in the imperial examination was far more than that of all the states and counties in the world.

For example, in Shaanxi, there may not be a single Jinshi in one state or even all the way.

And in Kaifeng Mansion, what does a Jinshi count?
In the imperial examination of the first year of Xianping in Zhenmiao, Kaifeng Prefecture shined. Among the top fourteen Jinshi, only Liu Ye, No. 9, was from Henan Prefecture. The others were all from Kaifeng Prefecture. Not only that, from No. 14 to 39, Kaifeng Prefecture The house is still the same.

The whole world was in an uproar for a while.

Don’t you even want to put it on?
Afterwards, the imperial court conducted a thorough investigation and found that most of the so-called Kaifeng Prefecture candidates were "Yingzhi", that is, they were sent by name.

And this is in line with the rules of the game and is originally the system of the imperial court.

Under such circumstances, everyone in the world knows that if you want to go to high school, you have to come to Bianjing, and you have to try every means to get a place in Kaifeng Prefecture School.

However, where in Kaifeng Fuxue can ordinary people get their hands on it?

Either you have the power - your relatives are the prime ministers!
Either they are talented and have big bosses who like and support them - for example, the Su Shi brothers, their places in Kaifeng Prefecture were personally recommended by Zhang Fangping.

As for having money?

Take your stinky money and get out of here!

In response to this market pain point, Zhao Xu said: Put down my money and take away your school district housing.

The two palaces listened and looked at each other. The Queen Mother said worriedly: "Brother Six, is this inappropriate?"

"I'm afraid I won't agree to it!"

Kaifeng Fufu School's admission rules have always been open and fair.

The prime minister may be in Beijing, a descendant of an elder, or a world-famous talent.

Therefore, although there have been criticisms in the past dynasties, those who passed the Kaifeng Fuxue examination have proved with irrefutable strength that they are worthy of it!

Their articles, their talents, and their poems are praised all over the world.

Even Wang Gongchen, who was shamed by others, no one could deny his talent.

If you can use money to buy a place in a private school...

Both the government and the opposition will oppose it.

There is no doubt about this.

Zhao Xu laughed.

The Empress Dowager is worried about the discussion between the government and the public, and I am afraid they will not agree. '

In other words, if there is no objection from the government and the opposition, this matter can be done?
Zhao Xu looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Don't worry, Mother. How could Sun Chen sell the famous national utensils to the market?"

"After these houses built by Sun Chen are sold to the people, the children of their owners cannot directly enter the government school. They all need to pass strict assessments before they can enter the government school!"

"Sun Chen enrolled them in elementary school, primary school and middle school under Kaifeng Prefecture School!"

"It will only give these students who graduated from Kaifeng Prefecture Middle School a chance to enter the government school!"

This is copying modern school district housing policies.

Kindergartens, primary schools, and junior high schools can all be included in the program.

Moreover, the buffs of famous teachers and famous schools are fully charged.

At the same time, there is also the opportunity to directly enter Kaifeng Fufu University, a Song Dynasty university with the highest employment rate and official appointment rate in the world.

Just ask, can I sell a house in such a school district more expensively and charge a higher tuition fee?Can it be sold?

"Elementary school, primary school, middle school?" The two palaces looked at each other. They could understand these words, but they had never heard of them.

Zhao Xu explained: "The so-called Mengxue means a school of Mengmeng."

"Elementary school, on top of elementary school, teaches the Five Classics."

"In middle school, the meaning of the Five Classics will be taught, and knowledge of mathematics, law, and financial management will be taught!"

“You can go straight to primary school from elementary school, and you can go straight to middle school from primary school.”

"But to advance from middle school to a higher education, you need to take an assessment, just like the imperial examination. The best will be selected from the best, and the best will definitely get it!"

The two palaces listened and looked at each other.

The Empress Dowager asked: "Do the courtiers have any objections?"

"Don't worry, Mother, I will convince the courtiers! No one will object!"

After experiencing the founding of schools in Qingli and the founding of schools in Xining.

The scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty began to be enthusiastic about establishing schools and religions.

Among the indicators used to evaluate the performance of local officials, the evaluation of state schools and county schools began to appear.

However, in this era, everything is still in its infancy.

Scholar-officials only understood adult education.

At present, the Song Dynasty basically only has adult education.

Children's education basically relies on home study and self-study.

The life experiences of Fan Zhongyan and other poor scholars are the best evidence.

Naturally, there are very few private schools nowadays.

Not to mention, this mature education model of government-run public Montessori schools, primary schools, middle schools and even government schools.

As for such a model, in addition to charging fees and using high tuition fees as a school-running model, no one can afford it.
