Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Zheng Qiao chuckled, and the two tacitly stopped talking, turning their gazes to Fang Zheng Yi.

The people closest to Fang Zheng Yi kept urging him and asking, "Master Fang, tell us about this honors class!"

Fang Zheng Yi raised his hands and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet. This class division is purely for the sake of the students. Firstly, some students progress faster and indeed need intensive tutoring in the honors class in order to complete Yucai's future education plan.

Secondly, the students in the regular classes are also very good, but they just have some weaknesses. The school will provide specialized tutoring to address these weaknesses."

"If the weaknesses are overcome, they will be promoted to the honors class, and if the students in the honors class can't keep up with the teaching progress, they will be demoted back to the regular class."

The crowd suddenly understood.

"Then what is the future education plan for the honors class?"

Fang Zheng Yi smiled mysteriously, "Good question! This is a comprehensive education plan that Yucai has developed based on the students' progress in the previous semester!"

"I call it the 'Five-Year Xiucai, Three-Year Juren Plan'! Based on my own experience in the imperial examinations, I have designed it meticulously for the students.

When I was young, my family was poor and my aptitude was mediocre, yet I still managed to become a Jinshi. Your children are all gifted and come from well-off families. There's no reason why your descendants can't pass the Juren exam, right?"

"Right!!!" The crowd shouted in unison, their eyes filled with fervor.

Five years for Xiucai, three years for Juren? The children at Yucai Elementary School are generally only five or six years old. What kind of imperial examination myth is this!?

However, Fang Zheng Yi said one thing that resonated with them: he became a Jinshi at a young age, so surely my child can too! Who here isn't a Jinshi themselves?!

No one thought Fang Zheng Yi was making wild claims. Besides, their own children were definitely the best, so passing the Juren exam in their teens was no problem!

"That's not right. Does Yucai have an eight-year program?" Zhang Dong Xiang questioned loudly.

Fang Zheng Yi calmly replied, "Of course not. Yucai has a six-year program. However, our plan can completely help them build a solid foundation before they graduate, comprehensively increasing their chances of passing the Juren exam after graduation.

Of course, we can't 100% guarantee whether they will become Xiucai or Juren, but we can guarantee that as long as your children cooperate with the school's education, a significant proportion of excellent students will achieve our goals."

"I am the best example."

The crowd was somewhat disappointed, but their hearts remained fervent.

No matter what, my child is the best and will definitely succeed!

"Then, Master Fang, please continue to elaborate on this plan. It sounds a bit too mystical. How many children in their early teens can pass the Xiucai exam?"

Fang Zheng Yi held up a finger and smiled mysteriously, "Good question! You have all seen the results of the teaching in the previous semester. The students' literacy rate far exceeds that of ordinary children. I believe no one doubts Yucai's educational strength, but this is only the beginning."

"Our subsequent plan, I can briefly reveal a few things to you now. Passing the children's examination and the provincial examination is definitely extremely difficult, but there are shortcuts to take.

Yucai has decided to continue investing in teaching staff in the future, recruiting young geniuses to lecture. Moreover, we will organize the strength of the entire Taoyuan County and the Banshan Daily reporters to compile exam materials."

"All the classics involved in the children's examination and the provincial examination will be broken down and rewritten in a way that children can understand, while seeking the most authoritative annotations."

"In addition, I will also send more people to collect the articles of the top scorers and Juren winners of our Da Jing dynasty over the years, analyze them one by one, and compile them into a book. Finally, we will spend three years striving to complete the most comprehensive and authoritative exam question bank in the entire Da Jing!"

"This plan is still in the works, but we already have two codenames internally, called 'Taoyuan True Questions' and 'Banshan Secret Scrolls'. The secret scrolls not only provide selected exam questions but also answers provided by literary masters.

The key is that one month before each exam, we will organize our Banshan Newspaper Agency's battle-hardened, well-informed, and insightful reporters to make accurate predictions!"

The officials burst into exclamations.

The Banshan reporters have a much higher pass rate in exams than the average person, and they often work among the people, so their sensitivity, timeliness, and grasp of the core of the problem far exceed ordinary people. Everyone has long recognized this. If they collectively predict the questions, it does sound very reliable.

This is too awesome! Such a large workload... Only Fang Zheng Yi could come up with such a flamboyant approach.

However...

Li Yan Song, who had been observing in the crowd, suddenly calmed down after hearing this, "Master Fang! That's enough. The imperial examination is not child's play. Leaving aside other things, if you let the reporters predict the questions, what will the people of the world think?!"

Fang Zheng Yi said, "Lord Li speaks well. I have also thought about this issue, so our question prediction part is completely fair, just, and open to the public. The people and the court can send people to inspect it. If I make a mistake, I will immediately throw the people involved into jail."

"In addition, the results of the question prediction will also be sold publicly by the Banshan Newspaper Agency. As long as other scholars spend a little bit of silver, they can buy the same predictions as those inside Yucai Elementary School. That way, it won't cause any gossip, right?"

The officials nodded. This is indeed a hidden danger, but as long as they dare to make it public, it's not a big problem.

After all, the court's exam questions are also extremely confidential.

His approach is not against the rules, after all, almost all academies, large families, and other groups secretly inquire about the examiners and use various methods to predict the questions.

Fang Zheng Yi raised his arm and shouted, "With 'Taoyuan True Questions' and 'Banshan Secret Scrolls', our children at Yucai Elementary School will have no less than one hundred professional mock children's examinations and provincial examinations every year, six hundred times in six years!

Even a fool should make considerable progress! At the very least, their mentality on the examination field will definitely far surpass ordinary people."

That's right! Listening to him do this, how can the children not pass the exam?

The crowd smiled at each other, their thoughts reaching this point.

Fang Zheng Yi said, "I have one last thing to remind everyone. Even if Yucai does work and preparations for the children that far exceed ordinary people's imagination in the future, I still cannot completely guarantee that each of you will pass the exam.

If you can't pass the exam, it is my fault, but even more so your loss. Yucai must not only guarantee the interests of the children but also guarantee the interests of everyone."

"Therefore, I promise everyone here that for students in the honors class, according to our education plan, if they do not achieve passing the Xiucai or Juren exam, we will fully refund your tuition for this period after graduation!"

"Good!!" A round of applause rang out.

The crowd looked at each other with joy. They didn't expect Fang Zheng Yi to be such a generous person, even offering tuition refunds!

"Master Fang, are there any other contents in the honors class teaching plan? Please tell us more!" Someone asked with lingering interest.

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and shook his head, "Everyone, it's getting late. I'll stop here for now. I've also seen the homework you brought, and it's all done very well."

"If you want your children to have a bright future, then bring your silver to Yucai Elementary School to register and listen to my detailed teaching plan!"
