Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

"Xiuying doesn't want a son?"

Zhu Xuan asked curiously.

The concubines in the palace are all eager to give birth to sons. The status of daughters is far less important than sons in this traditional era. Everyone wants the mother to be more valuable than the son, but Tie Xiuying is different, she only wants a daughter.

This concept is inconsistent with the times.

Tie Xiuying blushed and nodded: "I like my daughter better. She is so well-behaved and cute. I think His Highness also likes my daughter."

My daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket, so of course she likes it.

However, a son is as good as a son, and a daughter is certainly as good as a daughter.

"Yeah, I like it too!"

Zhu Xuan smiled and said: "Unexpectedly, Xiuying also has such an idea, so we hope that our daughter will be better. She is considerate and considerate. If Xiuying is so good, her daughter must be like you, and she will be generous and virtuous in the future."

Tie Xiuying blushed, nestled in Zhu Xuan's arms, shook her head gently and said: "How can I be so good as my concubine?"

Zhu Xuan stroked her swollen belly and said: "If Xiuying was not good, Grandpa Huang would not have chosen you at that time, and I would not pamper you so much, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Tie Xiuying blushed even more.

She is really virtuous and has no pretensions. Before she was pregnant with the child, she often went to the imperial kitchen to cook, cooking for Zhu Xuan and Mu Yuanjun. She often had people deliver it to Lao Zhu. This was virtuous.

"Grandpa Huang always said, marry a virtuous wife."

Zhu Xuan said happily: "I am very satisfied to have such a virtuous wife like you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for not disliking me."

Tie Xiuying also felt very happy. It was a very beautiful thing to be recognized by Zhu Xuan. She smiled happily and said: "I am really not as good as His Highness said."

Zhu Xuan pinched her little nose gently and said, "I'm staying at your place tonight and I have to spend some time with our daughter."

Tie Xiuying liked her daughter very much, but after counting the days, it was still a long time before she gave birth to a child. She smiled and said, "I don't know yet whether she is a daughter!"

After hearing that Zhu Xuan wanted to stay at her place, Tie Xiuying quickly arranged for her maid to make all preparations in the palace. That was how she spent the night in happiness.

the next morning.

Zhu Xuan said goodbye to Tie Xiuying and had to go to court. When the morning court was over, the cabinet had not yet sent the memorial, and he was ready to leave the palace again.

When leaving the palace, he called Ji Wenjing over.

"Your Highness!"

Ji Wenjing bowed in front of Zhu Xuan and said, "I just want to enter the palace to see His Highness."

Zhu Xuan asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

Ji Wenjing smiled and said: "I'm almost ready for school matters. The first school in Yingtian Mansion is right next to Xuanwu Lake. Does Your Highness have time to go and take a look?"

"so fast?"

Zhu Xuan was amazed and said: "Mr. Ji didn't use any unfair means, right? You can do it so fast."

Ji Wenjing spread his hands and said with a smile: "There are Jin Yiwei everywhere around me. I just want to use some unfair means, but I don't dare to use it randomly. With my ability, isn't it normal to hurry up? As long as I am willing to spend money, It’s possible any time soon.”

Seeing how confident this guy was, Zhu Xuan naturally trusted him and said, "Then go take a look and walk over. I still have plenty of time today."

It's rare to leave the palace again, so of course you have to take two more steps.

Walking on the road, Zhu Xuan said again: "There has been no news from your senior brother recently. I don't know where he is hiding. It is getting harder and harder to find him."

Ji Wenjing's senior brother was, of course, Yao Guangxiao. The entire Ming Dynasty's imperial guards were looking for this monster monk, and they had been searching for many years, but still couldn't find anything.

"I also want to know where he is."

Ji Wenjing said helplessly: "If I can find him, it will be a great achievement. I also want to make a contribution, but I really can't find him. No one knows where he is."

"That monster monk!"

Zhu Xuan cursed and then said: "It's not right for a good bald donkey to imitate other people's rebellion. If he really rebels, it's actually not bad. I will directly send troops to suppress and arrest people." Now hiding in the dark, just Like a rat in a dark ditch, who knows when it will jump out again.

The more such a person is, the more difficult it is to deal with.

"It is indeed a demon monk!"

Ji Wenjing said: "Actually, I also want to be a demon, but my strength doesn't allow it."

Zhu Xuan laughed and said, "Mr. Ji can only be a magic stick. In fact, I think the magic stick is pretty good, at least not a monster."

Hearing this, Ji Wenjing couldn't laugh or cry.

The word "magic stick" is on my head and I can never take it off again.

They walked while talking.

Finally, we came to the edge of Xuanwu Lake. Here is a school construction site. The school is already under construction and has a certain scale, but it is still far from enrolling students.

"What do you think, Your Highness?"

Ji Wenjing led Zhu Xuan inside and said: "Actually, the main reason I am looking for His Highness is to ask His Highness to give it a name. This school does not have a name yet, and I don't know what to name it after."

"Name?"

Zhu Xuan said.

In fact, it is quite easy to name a school, not much difficulty.

Ji Wenjing said: "I want to call it official school or elementary school. I wonder if your highness has any other ideas?"

Zhu Xuan said: "This school is for children, right?"

"That's right!"

"That's called elementary school!"

Zhu Xuan explained: "Those children, when they are still young, are called primary schools. When they are older and can learn more profound knowledge, then a middle school will be established to train them in an all-round way. Those who are interested in scientific research will be Those who are particularly good at mathematics and so on will be specially recruited to engage in scientific research in the Science Pavilion if they pass the examination.”

The education system of the Ming Dynasty was actually very simple.

Scholars here study only for the purpose of serving the imperial examination, and they only learn the Four Books and Five Classics. Zhu Xuan wants to gradually change this situation and make everything different subtly.

However, the teaching system he is proposing now is actually very simple. The prototype is put forward first, and then it is all up to Ji Wenjing to perfect it. Anyway, Ji Wenjing is an omnipotent person.

Wherever there is a shortage or need of people, Ji Wenjing will be placed there.

This arrangement is perfect.

"Elementary school? Middle school?"

Ji Wenjing couldn't help but smile and said: "The name Your Highness seems more casual."

Zhu Xuan said: "It's better to be casual, simple and close to the ground. People will know what it is when they hear it. These government-run schools are to serve the people."

"Your Highness is right!"

Ji Wenjing thinks it makes sense.

Then just be casual and name it as Zhu Xuan wants.

You must know that those children of nobles and wealthy families don't bother to study in places like this. They have their own private schools and private schools, and they can even directly invite some great scholars to teach their children.

Only the children of ordinary people who wanted to study but had no place to study, or who had no money and could not afford to study, could only put their hopes in Zhu Xuan's official school.

Popularizing education is still a very important thing.

If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

After a certain stage of development, people cannot even write their own names. (End of chapter)
