Chapter 52 The Eunuch Legion
(The picture shows the Ji’an Institute, which is where the Supervisor of Rituals was located in the Ming Dynasty, and the Neishutang is also here)

In a daze, he was woken up by Wang Chengen.

Yang Reform got up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Big Companion? What time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's the last quarter of the hour." Wang Chengen carefully approved Yang Reform's clothes.side replied.

"Well, okay, let's go to Master Sun's. I was delayed this morning." Yang Reform went to Sun Chengzong's place to exercise every day, and it was related to the issue of the barrel of the gun, so he had to put his heart into it.

……

"Oh, by the way, companion, last time I heard Cao Huachun say that he was educated in the palace, and he was proficient in all kinds of poetry, calligraphy and painting? Is there still such an institution in the palace?" Before Yang Reform, he only listened to the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty. They are not allowed to read or write.The reason is that they are afraid of revealing the emperor's secret.For example, peeking at the emperor's review of memorials, flipping through the corrected things, and fearing that the eunuchs would send messages to the outside of the palace and carry notes.

"Your Majesty, yes, there is an internal library in the Supervisor of Rituals, which is responsible for selecting and training smart young internal officials, so that they can serve as servants in the palace in the future." Wang Chengen replied.

"This..." Yang Reform was shocked again!This inner court is not called for nothing, and it also has its own training institution.Training one's own successors, this is really - awesome B. [Neishutang is the eunuch school. 】

"Then what does the inner school teach?" Yang Reform was curious, what did the inner school teach, poetry and songs?Windy night?Zijing History Collection?Get fame?Windy night?Bah, bah, bah, what's wrong with the eunuch?Zijing History Collection?Eunuchs don't test their fame, and reading a bird's anthology of classics and history is at most just to get acquainted with it. Poems and songs, is it true that eunuchs are still going to molested women?
Yang Reform thought for a long time, but he didn't understand what the eunuch school read and taught.

"Big companion, what do you learn in this inner school?" Yang Reform was too curious.

"Returning to Your Majesty, in Neishutang, the first task is to learn to read characters, and then to read Zijing Shiji. Poems, songs and Fu are taught, but there is no need to test for fame. Therefore, they are all understanding, and it is not required to be proficient in learning. , There is a difference in what the scholars learn from outside scholars." Wang Chengen replied.

"Well, do you teach mathematics?" Yang Reform is very hopeful that this inner school can teach mathematics or something. Doesn't that mean that if you add physics and geography, you can also teach?In this way, wouldn't it be integrated with the "nine-year compulsory education" I learned? ?Yang Reform suddenly realized that the system of cultivating talents and cultivating talents by himself can actually be implemented in the palace, and there is no need to go outside to discuss with courtiers or the reaction of scholars outside?It is not the turn of the "outer court" to worry about matters in the palace.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I will also teach you how to count. At least you must be able to count. This is the most basic requirement. The palace is not like the outside, and you have to test for fame, so it is more practical." Wang Chengen said eloquently.

Yang Reform sounds like the sound of nature!Haha, this is a good start, um, interesting, I want to cultivate my own talent team, I can completely bypass the literati and bureaucrats outside, I can do it first in the palace, I have started, I have my own talent system , easy to handle.This is really a more gratifying thing than earning 500 million yuan.

"Big Companion, don't go to Master Sun's place, go and see this inner library first, it's interesting, I want to see it." Yang Reform couldn't wait.

"...Yes, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen was surprised!How can I go to see the inner school properly?Did the emperor go there after he had nothing to do?Really strange.But the emperor is the biggest, if he wants to see the eunuch school, then go.

……

The Imperial City, the Supervisor of Rituals, and the Neishutang.

"...Slaves kowtow to His Majesty, long live my emperor..." At the entrance of the eunuch school, a large group of people knelt at the door to welcome the emperor.

"Well, let's all be flat." It feels really good to watch others kowtow.

All the people got up from the ground and retreated to the side.The eunuch at the head came over humbly and reported: "Your Majesty, Zhang De'an, the steward of the inner book hall of the servant and maidservant, kowtowed to His Majesty." He came over and made another salute.

"Zhang De'an? Well, get up, yes, what do you teach in this inner school?" Yang Reform couldn't wait to know.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the inner book hall is mainly about literacy..., and the collection of Zijing and history..." Zhang De'an reported respectfully.

"What about arithmetic?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, you must know how to read and count." Zhang De'an replied respectfully.

"Is there anything else?"

"Others? To His Majesty, but poetry and poetry? Only the wise can learn this kind..." Zhang De'an didn't know what the emperor wanted to ask.

"No...forget it, tell me who are the teachers here." Yang Reform asked again.

"Your Majesty, they are all from the palace. There are several instructors and four instructors from the Imperial Academy." Zhang De'an tried his best to please the emperor.

"Hanlin Academy? Why do the eunuchs have to be involved in the study of the Imperial Academy? Could it be that the eunuchs are also planning to take a test for fame?" Yang Reform was very upset. People from the Imperial Academy also participated in the place where the eunuchs studied?That is to say, at least those who have passed the Jinshi come to teach here. The scholar-bureaucrats really control the educational resources of the whole country!Not even the palace was spared.Yang Reform was speechless.This class of literati and bureaucrats is really pervasive, even their most disgusting and biggest enemy-the eunuchs, the school of the eunuchs-the inner school, a few people have to be mixed in, and the eunuchs don't take the exam for merit, so please ask people from the Imperial Academy to do it. Bird, can these eunuchs be able to enter the Imperial Academy in the future after they have completed their studies?Yang Reform was extremely upset.

Everyone else was speechless, and the emperor muttered alone and didn't know what to say, as if he was talking about the Imperial Academy.

"How many students do you have here?" Yang Reform was upset for a while and asked again.

"Your Majesty, there are about four to five hundred students, all of whom started entering the inner school when they were around ten years old..." Zhang De'an explained in detail.

"Four to five hundred students? How many eunuchs are there in the palace?" Yang Reform wanted to see the percentage of eunuchs receiving education.

"..." Zhang De'an was speechless, how many eunuchs there are in this palace, is that what I can know and answer?I didn't dare to say it immediately, but fortunately Wang Chengen who was on the side took the words and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are a total of more than [-] people on the list, of which about [-] are in the capital, and they are guarding, defending, weaving, Mine supervisors, army supervisors, etc..."

"Ah! One hundred thousand?" Yang Reform was shocked! 10 people, how many people is that?Almost catching up with an army group.An army eunuch?Legion of eunuchs? ? ...Yang Reform felt that this joke was a bit cold for Lei's scorched outside and tender inside!Castration, real castration!

Yang Reform felt that his spirit was sluggish and bleak a lot.

Come to the classroom in the inner school hall.

It is a group of doll eunuchs studying.The group of little eunuchs were very excited when they saw the emperor coming, hoping that the emperor would take a fancy to them and they would be able to make a fortune.There was hope in his eyes.

Looking at these little eunuchs, Yang Reform felt very sad and desolate, with a little sadness, and also felt very awkward.This is the flower of the "motherland" that is serious, and it was destroyed like this.Sent to the palace as a eunuch, he was stabbed and turned into a man and a woman... Looking at a group of ignorant, enthusiastic and nervous "little eunuchs", Yang Reform felt really uncomfortable...

But now is not the time to lament the fate of these eunuchs. Yang Reform's own fate has not yet been settled. If you don't work hard to get money, you will die!

To get money, someone needs to do it for you. You can’t just move a box around to ask for money. Even if you are a superman, there is nothing you can do. Therefore, you must have your own talent system, your own talent pool, and your own talent pool. Reliable, trustworthy, and able to act according to their own wishes, with these people, one's own ideas can be implemented, otherwise, relying on those elite teammates who are like pigs will kill oneself sooner or later.This is the most urgent task for Yang reform now, and the problem that needs to be solved immediately.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform cheered up and cheered up. Under the leadership of Zhang De'an, the eunuch in charge of the inner school, he visited the various places in the inner school with great interest, and chatted with several professors from the Imperial Academy to encourage them Teach well.

After he came out, Yang Reform had some calculations in his mind, and he planned to start with the Neishutang, which educates eunuchs to learn knowledge, to reform the content of education, add courses such as geography, physics, astronomy, etc., and imitate what he learned in the "nine-year compulsory education" he received. Change the knowledge structure of this group of eunuchs and schoolchildren, transform these eunuchs into "my own people" who have almost the same knowledge system as myself, and establish a preliminary talent system for myself.

However, this matter can only be implemented after meeting a few people. I can't go into battle shirtless.

This is a big deal!Yang Reform felt a lot more confident.
