Chapter 105 Agronomy
In the morning of the next day, Zheng Qiuyun was announced to the main hall again.

In the court, there was considerable controversy over the establishment of agricultural science.Some officials believe that although Zheng Qiuyun is an official, he has no real power, and the agricultural school he runs should be a private school.Some officials believe that since it is an important matter to teach people to farm, official schools should be established.

After careful consideration, the Holy Spirit said: "Farm is the foundation of the country, and official education should be the first to develop agriculture." This confirmed the status of agriculture as an official education.

But there are still officials arguing below, "Your Majesty, although agriculture is an official school, is it under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College, or is it supervised by the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Daxuan has schools under the supervision of Guozi, as well as schools run by full-time departments, such as medicine run by the Imperial Medical Office and music taught by Taile.The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's fields, taxes, and supervision of agriculture. It is also very reasonable.

But the subtlety is that the former Vice Minister of Household Affairs was a person of the eldest prince, but was beheaded by the emperor, and now the new Vice Minister of Household Affairs is a person of the second prince.And You Cheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, is from the eldest prince.Now the household department is like a pool of muddy water, and no one wants to get involved.

The admonishing doctor who had been speaking for Zheng Qiuyun before remained silent this time. Yu Shi Zhongcheng glanced at the second prince, and then said: "The schools under the control of the Imperial College have become a system, so why not let the Ministry of Household Affairs supervise them."

The Minister of Hubu came out and said, "I have this memorial."

"allow."

He said in a respectful tone, "The Ministry of Household Affairs is willing to supervise the operation, but we still hope that the Holy Spirit will issue an order that no official from the Ministry of Household Affairs shall interfere with Zheng Sinong's running of the school. Farming is the foundation of the country, and people with ulterior motives cannot interfere."

Zheng Qiuyun observed that the Minister of Hubu was broad and fat, but his face was serious and unsmiling.It makes people convinced, but they don't dare to make mistakes at will.

The Holy Father thought about it and said, "According to Aiqing's words, the agricultural studies in Jiangzhou and Qingzhou are tentatively one-year academic system. After students pass the ten-day examination, monthly examination, quarterly examination and annual examination, they can go to Beijing to take the examination. Agricultural studies in Beijing are opened. For one month, students learn how to farm and then go to various states and counties to teach people how to sow seeds.”

The academic system and examinations have been determined, but where the capital’s students will come from is still a question.Some officials suggested that the common people should learn, while others said that time was tight and the common people could not learn as fast as students.

Zheng Qiuyun suggested, "Your Majesty, I think that during this month's study, talents can be selected from the Imperial College to study agriculture. There are many civilians in Guangwen Hall, so they are suitable for studying agriculture. In addition, talents from various states and counties will be gathered in the capital to teach in two sessions. .”

When the officials of the Imperial College heard them arguing about whether the Imperial College Supervisory Office or the Ministry of Household Supervision should run agricultural studies, they were still able to do their job. When they heard that the students they trained were going to study agriculture at the Ministry of Household Affairs, they became anxious.

The Imperial Academy offered wine and said immediately: "No!"

He knelt on the ground, "There are indeed many children from the common people in Guangwen Hall, but it is not easy for them to pass the exam step by step. Now in order to prepare for the imperial examination, those students wake up early and forget about food and sleep. How can we let them distract themselves from studying agriculture."

Zheng Qiuyun retorted: "They study and take the imperial examination, and they will eventually become officials. If they don't know civil affairs, how can they be good officials in the future? In my opinion, not only the students of Guangwen Hall, but other supervisors should also experience affairs."

The Prime Minister of the Imperial College scolded coldly: "Zheng Sinong's tone is so arrogant. Agricultural studies have not yet been started, but he is already trying to dictate to the Imperial College. Since ancient times, students have been ignorant of what is happening outside the window and only read books by sages. How can students be allowed to do so? The reason for farming!”

Such an attitude of Imperial Prime Minister Zheng Qiuyun could not help but argue, "Your Majesty, I believe that the history of overseeing students is indeed necessary. Students should not only read the books of sages, but also put what they have learned into practice."

Seeing the quarrel among the people below, the Holy Master rubbed his brows and said, "We must be urgent. Spring plowing is about to begin. Autumn plowing is scheduled after spring plowing. Let the students of Guangwen Hall learn agriculture first."

The Prime Minister of the Imperial Academy said helplessly: "I obey."

After going to court, Zheng Qiuyun met with the Holy Emperor in private and requested: "What the Imperial College Si Cheng said is indeed reasonable. If the supervisors have achieved success, I would like to ask the Holy Emperor to let the Ministry of Personnel assess them. If they pass the assessment, they will be granted official positions. If they fail the assessment, they will be given official positions." , let them return to the Imperial College to continue studying."

Zheng Qiuyun is not just thinking randomly. In ancient times, there was a system of supervising births, but it was not in this novel.

The Holy One also agreed, but the standards for academic achievement and official assessment, as well as the starting point for becoming an official, are still open to question.

Zheng Qiuyun was given a house before, but she never lived in it once. Now it can be used as a school.

Zheng Wuan took off the Zheng Mansion on the house, and Zheng Wenping wrote the words "Beijing Agricultural Science" in a quick and easy way.Pei Yuanqi led people to clean the courtyard and moved in tables, chairs and benches.

Zheng Qiuyun looked at the empty courtyard with his hands on his hips, feeling very satisfied in his heart, as if he could see the scene of students working hard here and studying tirelessly.Facts have proved that Zheng Qiuyun thought too much.

There are 60 students in the Guangwen School, more than 32 people are on sick leave, more than [-] people have to travel far to take care of their parents, and [-] people have to take care of their parents at home... In the end, only [-] people came to Beijing Agricultural University.

Among these 32 people, there were still some who were cold-blooded and disobedient to her.Among them, there was one named Chu Bingwen, whose performance was particularly obvious.

Zheng Qiuyun said: "The book has been distributed. Please open it to the first page."

Others who were unconvinced were more or less pretending, and Chu Bingwen didn't even take the book.

Zheng Qiuyun held back his temper and said, "Chu Bingwen, turn the book to the first page."

Chu Bingwen slept directly on the desk and pretended not to hear.

Zheng Qiuyun put the book down again, and someone reminded him, "Chu Bingwen, you should respect your teacher."

Chu Bingwen sneered, "I studied under a great scholar from the Imperial College. She is a village woman, so what kind of teacher is she?"

Zheng Qiuyun didn't argue with him, "I heard Wen Ping read an article, and there was a sentence in it, 'Nothing is noble or base, neither long nor young. Where the Tao exists, the teacher exists.' How can I teach you agriculture? Terrible?"

Chu Bingwen also studied this article. At that time, he agreed with the views of this great scholar, but he really couldn't do it if he was asked to really learn from a village woman.

He opened the book awkwardly, "It's the first page, it's done."

He thought the first page was about learning content, but he didn't expect that this page was the author's words.

Zheng Qiuyun said: "Before you study, take a look at the first page. This is what I want to share with you."

Chu Bingwen read it from the beginning and didn't think anything was wrong until he read the last paragraph, which said that agricultural science teaches not only how to be an official, but also how to benefit the people. He was deeply shocked.

Zheng Qiuyun repeated: "I hope you all understand that what you are doing now is a major task to 'carry on the unique knowledge of the saints and create peace for all generations.'"

Zheng Qiuyun fed them chicken soup and skillfully drew a cake. "Don't worry, everyone, the Holy One has promised me that as long as you succeed in your studies and pass the examination of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you can still be an official even if you don't take the imperial examination."

The students discussed below, "Really?"

"Great!"

Zheng Qiuyun used both soft and hard tactics, "But if someone insists on not learning, I won't force it."

After Zheng Qiuyun finished speaking, they all looked at Chu Bingwen.

 "Nothing is noble or base, nothing is long or little, the Tao is where the teacher is."
