Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

In the study, Mei Yin took out a thick stack of books.

Watch here.

There are words printed on the booklet.

Moreover, each volume looks particularly beautiful.

In addition to the numbers, there are also many strange symbols on it.

Of course, these so-called strange symbols only appear that way to people of this era.

For people in later generations, the things above are not strange at all.

On the contrary, it feels very normal.

The reason for this is that what Mei Yin is holding now is nothing else but a mathematics textbook.

Before this, Mei Yin had already submitted the mathematics textbooks and corresponding knowledge he had obtained through the death remonstrance system.

It was carefully copied and a woodblock printmaker was specially asked to make it into a woodblock and print it out.

Mei Yin's farm has already set up a small printing factory.

We have trained our own printing masters.

At the beginning, the woodblock craftsmen hired by Mei Yin were used to make outer packaging for soap boxes.

Now it is particularly suitable for printing textbooks.

Not only math textbooks, but also a lot of Chinese textbooks were printed and bound.

Speaking of which, the writing of the Chinese textbook is really a headache for Mei Yin.

On the one hand, it was because he did not obtain the corresponding Chinese textbook teaching materials.

On the other hand, in today's era, Chinese textbooks are of paramount importance.

Mei Yin is writing here and needs to take this matter into consideration.

Just like in later generations, we should teach students how to read and write in the language.

It is not just limited to reading and writing.

There are also things like poetry and ancient Chinese.

While filling it with some of the things needed to cope with scientific examinations in this era, we also need to inject some new things into it.

and corresponding values, etc.

It was precisely because there were so many things to consider that Mei Yin was distressed for a long time.

It was not until half a month ago that I finally finished finishing the Chinese textbooks for first and second graders.

It was handed over to the master in the printing factory for printing and binding.

When I opened the Chinese textbook, I could smell a faint scent of ink.

This Chinese textbook is also quite different from regular books of this era.

The most important thing is that a lot of illustrations are added in it.

And the illustration is also colored.

These seem a bit luxurious in this era.

But Mei Yin just wanted to make the textbooks more exquisite.

In this way, he also looks pleasing to the eye.

In future teaching, it will also be able to increase students' interest in learning to a certain extent.

Of course, the most important point is that Mei Yin is not short of money.

Willing to spend more time on this.

It was precisely because of the Chinese textbook that the study was delayed for a long time.

Up to now, the primary school in Mei Yin has not started classes yet.

Now that all the teaching materials are in place, Mei Yin can put this matter on the agenda.

The primary school has now been built.

Mei Yin also seemed very generous when it came to this primary school this time.

He marked out a piece of land directly on his farm.

A three-story teaching building was built first.

There can be six classes on each floor.

If there are three floors, there will be eighteen.

Each class can accommodate up to eighty people.

Of course, this is assuming the seat is not crowded.

Normally, a class can accommodate fifty people.

Mei Yin had great confidence in the primary school he built from the very beginning.

Therefore, the school is built on a larger scale.

He felt that with the school officially opening, as long as he ran it well, there would be no shortage of students in the future.

In order to avoid the need for expansion later, it is best to lay the corresponding foundation first.

After discussing the relevant matters with Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Mei Yin had people start construction immediately.

There is no shortage of things like steel bars and cement.

The materials used are particularly solid and the construction is particularly sturdy.

However, Mei Yin had never revealed what he was going to do with this building before.

So many people are talking about it.

Some people think that Prince Consort Mei has made money and wants to build a bigger house, while others think that Mr. Mei is planning to build another workshop.

Only a few people like Li Jinglong knew what Mei Yin was going to do.

Mei Yin's school is very well prepared.

It's not just a three-story teaching building, he also left enough space.

In the future, the remaining buildings will be gradually constructed.

For example, the dormitory and the playground.

Prepare for boarding schools for children who live far away from here.

The canteen has also been built...

"Second Uncle, isn't this school a little too big?"

Li Jinglong looked at Mei Yin and couldn't help but ask.

By the way, Li Jing is one of the few people who knows the real purpose of Mei Yinnong's house.

At the beginning, after Li Jinglong knew what his second uncle was going to do, he was quite supportive.

I think it is possible to set up a school.

However, after meeting Mei Yin, I was still a little confused at how he had grown the business to such a large scale in a short time.

I always feel that my second uncle's actions are too unexpected.

Because he always felt that his uncle wanted to teach some students, but it was just a small-scale teaching.

Just find some houses and decorate them.

Who could have thought that the scale of Second Uncle's move would be so huge!

He was a little worried that his second uncle would not be able to accept so many students and it would be a waste.

This is especially true after I knew what knowledge my second uncle was going to teach me.

He has already read some of the teaching materials prepared by his second uncle.

What about arithmetic? It is actually equally important as Chinese.

Not to mention that, it also looks like a ghost painting.

It's a headache just looking at it

The most important thing is that the textbook named Chinese language by my second uncle is very different from the classics.

The difference between this and the content tested in the imperial examination is huge.

In the words of my second uncle, what he taught was not for the purpose of preparing for the imperial examination.

Instead, we should teach children how to behave and the corresponding skills to establish themselves.

And keep the kids in school all day long...

Everything he learned made him feel that the school run by his second uncle was not big enough.

It didn't last long and couldn't recruit too many students.

Why do so many people in this era need to study?

The most important thing is that by studying, you can pass the imperial examination and become an official.

This is the ultimate goal.

What the second uncle is going to do now is to eliminate this biggest temptation directly.

How could so many people send their children to study with my second uncle?
Who doesn’t study to become an official?
Not to mention, many families are not wealthy nowadays, and ordinary people simply cannot afford the cost of sending a teenager to school.

Even if some people can afford it, they will not send their sons here to study.

The reason is very practical.

That is, after entering school, these children only concentrate on studying and will not be able to help their family members with much work.

The little boy is already half of the family's labor force and can earn a lot of money for the family in a year.

Few people would spend money to release this labor force.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Jinglong was not optimistic about the school founded by Mei Yin.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in his second uncle’s ability, but there are indeed many practical difficulties that need to be solved.

In addition to these, the courses taught by my second uncle actually also include medical skills.

The medical courses are also very different from the usual ones of seeing a doctor and prescribing medicine.

Many of them are new methods that have never been heard of.

It looks very unreliable.

Li Jinglong, a man who has always had confidence in Mei Yin and knows him well, still holds such an opinion on this matter.

Then in the eyes of others, this matter becomes even more unreliable.

Mei Yin naturally knew what others thought of his school.

He already knew these before this.

So he didn't say much.

It all depends on people!
As long as you are willing to use your brain, you will be able to accomplish the next thing!

When he decided to run a school, what he was worried about was not the source of students and other issues, but that Zhu Yuanzhang and others would not allow him to run a school... As long as Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and others allowed him to run a school, he would be able to do so.

Then, in the future, I will definitely be able to set up this school!

Not only can we get this school started, but we can also make it more and more prosperous!

Mei Yin is still very confident about this.

Mei Yin really wasn't bragging about this.

……

The next day, Shuangshui Village became very lively.

A lot of people gathered here.

The place where everyone gathered was Mei Yin's newly built school.

But at this point, many people don’t know that this is the school.

Mei Yin gathered so many people here today just for the school's affairs.

Everyone in Meiyin Manor seemed particularly curious.

I couldn't stop wondering what Mr. Mei was going to do.

What's the matter?

Most of them are looking forward to this.

Because their many experiences tell them that Mr. Mei will not harm them.

Generally speaking, whenever Mr. Mei came to talk to them, it was a good thing.

As everyone was waiting, Mei Yin soon appeared.

After greeting everyone, he pulled down the red silk cloth that was covering the plaque on the school gate.

The six words "Shuangshui Village Primary School" also appeared.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, young and old men!

I know you have been looking forward to this for a long time.

I was wondering what I was building this thing for.

Today, I will tell you clearly.

I didn't build this house for myself to live in.

This is a school. From now on, our Shuangshui Village will have its own school!
We can let the children in our village come and study!"

After Mei Yin announced it to everyone, he gave a detailed introduction to some things about the Shuangshui Village School.

After hearing Mei Yin's introduction, many people suddenly became enlightened.

It turns out that this is actually a school!
This immediately attracted the interest of many people.

It also seemed particularly unexpected.

I originally thought that Mr. Mei was planning to build another workshop and would recruit more people in the future.

It turns out to be this.

“As the saying goes, one’s fate comes first, two’s luck comes second, three’s Feng Shui comes third, four’s cultivating good deeds comes fifth’s reading!

If you want your children to succeed and make future generations better, studying is essential.

From now on, the school will conduct teaching in two seasons a year.

The first season is from January to June.

The second season is from August to December..."

Here Mei Yin raised his voice and announced the corresponding rules of teaching...

After learning from Mei Yin's words that the children would have to spend most of their daytime studying in school and would not be able to do much farm work.

Many people who were originally quite interested suddenly lost interest.

They are unwilling to let their children go to school.

Li Jinglong took all these changes into consideration and was not surprised at all.

He had already considered this before.

Li Jinglong lived in places like Shuangshui Village for quite a long time.

He knew very well what the people below were thinking.

I am no longer the person who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world.

Li Jinglong had thought of this, so how could Mei Yin not have thought of it?

He then said: "Children aged seven and above who are studying do not need to pay tuition.

At the same time, the school will provide a free meal at noon.

Children are given two sets of school uniforms every year.

Of course, these regulations only apply to the people in our village.

This is my special care for you.

If people from outside want to come and study, they still need to pay a certain amount of tuition.

Accommodation fees are not exempt...

Those who have excellent academic performance can come to our village after graduation and work as managers in the factory I founded.

As for how far they can run and go, it depends on their abilities.

As for those with average grades, they can also choose to work in factories.

After working in a factory, people who perform well can also be promoted.

Of course, after learning the skills, you can also go out to work..."

Mei Yin said a series of words and took out his trump card.

After hearing what Mei Yin said, those who had been hesitant before and didn't want their children to study in Mei Yin's school, thinking it was a waste of time,

A lot of changes happened all of a sudden.

It’s free to study here, and Mr. Mei also provides meals?
What a treat!
Although children will have a lot of time to do housework when they are studying, it will delay a lot of income.

But I heard Mei Yin say that those with good grades could directly enter the workshop as managers.

Even if you have poor grades, as long as you study here, you can work directly in the workshop founded by Mr. Mei in the future.

This is a great temptation for them.

Meiyin's factory is different now than before.

Originally, anyone who came here could enter.

But now, as Mr. Mei's fame grows, his treatment is getting better and better.

There are many people who want to come here to work.

At this time, they really realized how popular Mr. Mei's workshop was.

What a conscience!
Not to mention what they can achieve in the future.

As long as one can securely enter the factory and work as a manager, it would be an absolute blessing for one's ancestors.

The salaries of factory managers are so high that ordinary people are jealous and envious.

At this time, I suddenly received such news.

There is a great possibility that their children and nephews will become managers in the future.

Now you don't have to worry.

Even if I can't become a manager, as long as I can work in a factory, I won't have to worry about my future survival!
It is definitely more comfortable than ordinary people.

Although they don't have much experience, they can still do the math when it comes to this kind of accounting.

Especially when it comes to one's own interests, it is so clear.

So, after Mei Yin said this.

They no longer hesitated, and many people signed up enthusiastically.

They were determined to send their children and nephews to Mei Yin's school.

Mei Yin's operation and the resulting explosion effect stunned Li Jinglong.

This... can you play it like this?
My second uncle is really as good as a god in talking nonsense, so extraordinary!
He can think of any kind of moves!

By the way, he has already made preparations in case his second uncle is unable to recruit students in the future.

He has to think of some special ways to get some people to go to school.

If it really doesn't work, you can go to some place to buy some young slaves and send them to school.

His second uncle's face cannot be brought to the ground.

But I never expected that the problem I thought was difficult to solve would come true.

When the problem came to my second uncle's place, it was solved so easily and casually.

It's so smooth and easy!
"Our school is also to cultivate pillars of society.

It is possible that there will be people who will go down in history in the future.

As the saying goes, in the morning you are a farmer, and in the evening you are in the emperor's palace.

There is no special breed of generals or ministers, men should be self-reliant!
Who says that among ordinary people like us, there won’t be a golden phoenix?”

After finishing explaining the relevant matters, Mei Yin looked at the people in front of him, raised his voice, and said these words.

Encourage everyone.

After these words were spoken, many people immediately felt their blood boiling.

Some extravagant hopes that I had never dared to have before suddenly came to my mind at this moment.

Perhaps, coming to Mr. Mei's school can really make his children different from now on.

Shuangshui Village has already been bustling with activity.

It is very different from before. There are many people coming and going here to do business every day.

Therefore, the words that Mei Yin said this time quickly spread as these people left...

……

"Establishing a school? You still think that there is no such thing as a prime minister, and that men should be strong?
Hahahaha...

You don’t even know your own capabilities, and you still dare to run a school there?
This pig feeder has quite a big mouth!
Among those peasants, there might be some people who will go down in history?
What kind of dream is he having?
What joke is this?
Are those people worthy?
A peasant is a peasant!

A group of children from poor families, and a school that is a joke set up by Mei Yin.

What kind of talented people do you want to teach?
It's really ridiculous and outrageous! "

Back in the capital, Mei Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The words were full of sarcasm...
