Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 553 How much do you know about Jinling Primary School?

Auntie Zhu went on tour in modest clothes, inspections were second, the main purpose was to go out of the palace to get some fresh air and take a walk.So, she originally wanted to walk to her destination.

However, considering that the place to go was not close, and walking all the time would indeed bring great difficulty to the security work, in the end, someone arranged for a royal carriage with an ordinary appearance, which was actually clad with steel plates, and the interior was very comfortable.

This carriage was presented by several master craftsmen after the Chengdu Secret Construction Bureau was moved to Nanjing-four wheels, easy to steer, and a spring shock absorber installed at the bottom.

Auntie Zhu had tried it out before, and found that compared with Daming's two-wheeled carriage, the four-wheeled carriage was not only more spacious, but also the bumps were greatly reduced, making it very comfortable to ride.

She has ordered the royal family to cooperate with the imperial court to establish a Daming four-wheeled carriage factory, which belongs to the State Operations Department of the Ministry of Commerce.

Not surprisingly, the four-wheeled carriage should be available for sale this month.

This time, Aimee Zhu traveled in a four-wheeled carriage, which can be regarded as an in-depth experience.

Seeing that the carriage came out of the Forbidden City and was easily pulled by a red-maned horse on the wide street with almost no sense of bumps, Auntie Zhu was more and more satisfied with the four-wheeled carriage.

She said: "Let the Internal Affairs Office use the money from the internal funds to purchase a batch of four-wheeled carriages and send them to the cabinet ministers, the supervisors and assistant ministers of the Military Affairs Academy, and say that they are gifts from me.

Well, give one to the censors of the left and right, and the principal and deputy of the Court of Justice. "

Liu Zhu, who was also sitting in the carriage, immediately responded, "Yes."

And take out a small notebook and write it down.

As Aimee Zhu's personal female officer, she and Lian Qiao are also the deputy managers of the internal affairs department, so it is appropriate to handle this matter.

Dong Qiongying said with a smile: "This four-wheeled carriage can be faked for a lot of money. Your Majesty is really kind to all the veterans."

Aunt Zhu said: "After all, they are important ministers of the country, so it is nothing if I provide them with carriages. What's more, this four-wheeled carriage has just come out and needs publicity. If all the important ministers use this carriage, those rich people will definitely follow suit and buy it."

Dong Qiongying said: "I'm afraid that someone will keep it at home and not use it, which will make His Majesty's plan come to nothing."

Dong Qiongying grew up in the chieftain of Sichuan. Not only can she speak, but she also speaks more freely than others.

Aunt Zhu was really worried when she heard this, and immediately told Liu Zhu, "Let the people from the Internal Affairs Department tell those important ministers that this is what I gave them to use."

"Yeah." Liu Zhu nodded again, and wrote it down in a small notebook.

Through the glass window of the carriage, Zhu Yuxi could see that there were many people walking on the street, and the business of the shops seemed to be good.

Even if the common people are dressed simply or even with patches, most of them have ruddy complexions.

This undoubtedly shows that the vast majority of people in Nanjing are no longer worried about famine.

Today, she not only uses the customs tariff policy to encourage maritime merchants to transport and sell grain from Southeast Asia to Daming, but also promotes the excellent grain varieties of later generations in an efficient manner.

Last year, the grain seeds brought from later generations and the second-generation grain seeds were all bumper harvests.

If this is the case, the people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty will still suffer from food shortages, then it will be a failure.

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Dong Qiongying asked.

"Let's go to the west area of ​​the outer city." Aunt Zhu said without thinking.

According to Aimee Zhu's understanding, the western area of ​​the outer city is under the jurisdiction of Jiangning County, and it can be regarded as an area with a large number of ordinary people in Nanjing.

As for the place with the most common people, it was naturally outside the city, but it was too far away, and it was too inconvenient for her to go there.

Looking at the street scene outside the car window, Aunt Zhu asked, "Do you know how many primary schools there are in Nanjing today?"

Huque opened his eyes wide and remained silent.

Dong Qiongying shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm a military commander, where did you pay attention to this matter?"

Bi Zhu, who was sitting opposite her, said, "Nanjing has a population of one million, and there must be a lot of school-age children. There must be dozens of primary schools in the city, right?"

Aunt Zhu said: "According to the latest report from the Ministry of Rites, there are currently 36 primary schools in Shangyuan County, 13 of which are in the inner city.

There are 43 primary schools in Jiangning County, 12 of which are in the city.This time we have acquired the western district of the outer city, and there are several elementary schools. "

The western part of the outer city is a name proposed by Auntie Zhu for reference by later generations. According to Daming's habits at this time, it should be called a certain square and a certain li, or a certain street and a certain lane.

Huque couldn't help but wondered, "Why are there so many elementary schools?"

Aunt Zhu said: "Although there is an order from the imperial court, after the establishment of primary schools, the number of students must be more than one hundred.

However, Nanjing has a large population, and the number of students in each primary school is at least 1000, and the number is even as high as more than [-].

Even so, nearly [-] primary schools can only accommodate [-] to [-] school-age children.

The population of Shangyuan and Jiangning counties according to recent statistics has reached more than 130 million.

With such a large population base, there are [-] to [-] children between the ages of five and ten, which is not too many. "

After hearing this, Bi Zhu couldn't help sighing: "There are only [-] to [-] primary school students in Shangyuan and Jiangning counties in Nanjing this year, and the total number of primary school students in the three prefectures that implement three-year compulsory education is probably hundreds of thousands!
After three years, the first batch of hundreds of thousands of primary school students will graduate, how many talents will they provide for me, Daming! "

Auntie Zhu laughed and said, "After all, what is taught in primary schools is only some basic knowledge, which is not enough to make them talents, but it is possible to become usable people.

In the future, even if most of them are unable to enter middle school for further study, having a foundation in elementary school is enough to make them useful people. "

Looking at the street scene and chatting along the way, Auntie Zhu and his party soon came to the west area of ​​the outer city.

There are Yuhuatai, Xitian Temple, Dabaoen Temple, Nengren Temple and other scenic spots in this area, but most of them are ordinary houses.

Looking from the car window, the outside is still very prosperous, but whether it is street buildings or residential buildings, it is obviously inferior to the inner city.

On the contrary, there are more small vendors setting up stalls on the street than in the inner city.

"This is Meigang, right? Jiangning No.13 Primary School should be here, please ask the way down." Aimee Zhu ordered after recalling the information she had recorded on many primary schools in the western part of the outer city.

"Let's go down to the humble position and ask." Bi Zhuo agreed, got up and got out of the carriage.

She had lived in Longtan Town outside Nanjing for a year or two, so she was more familiar with it than others.

···
Meigang Elementary School.

The official name should be Jiangning County No.13 Primary School, also known as Jiangning Thirteenth Primary School.

Because it was established in Meigang and the students were mainly children from the Meigang area, it was called Meigang Primary School by the people.

Just like several other primary schools around, they are called Yuhuatai Primary School, Huashen Temple Primary School, Wangxie Primary School, and Zijing Primary School because of their geographical location.

After Bian Yujing and Bian Yulou were hired by Jiangning County School, they were assigned to Meigang Primary School and became honorable primary school Chinese teachers.

After arriving, Bian Yujing found that the conditions of Meigang Primary School were worse than she expected.

Meigang Primary School used the former Meigang Community School building.

Originally, social studies were only used for children in Meigang Village to go to elementary school. Although Meigang Village is not small, there are only more than 100 children who usually go to elementary school. Four or five scholars, five or six schools, each teach twenty If you come here, you will be able to carry out traditional enlightenment education very well.

However, school-age children from surrounding areas also come to Meigang to attend elementary school, with more than 400 students.

Compared with other primary schools, although the number of students is small, the school is still not enough.

Although the relevant funds were allocated by the higher authorities, a few large semi-open huts were added hastily to deal with it. It will take some time for a serious school to be built.

Bian Yujing originally thought that the conditions of other primary schools were so simple, but when she went to the nearby Wangxie Primary School for exchange and study, she found that the conditions of the two sides were very different——Wangxie Primary School was directly located in a mansion, and there was no lack of The room is used as a school.

Then, I saw that most of the students in Wangxie Elementary School were wearing brocade clothes, and their complexion was fair and pink. At first glance, they looked like children from wealthy families.

Let’s think again that most of the children in Meigang Elementary School are dressed plainly, even in patched clothes, and their skin color is not only unhealthy, but also rough and dark, obviously belonging to the children of the bottom class.

Bian Yujing understood—it turned out that there are differences between elementary schools and elementary schools, just like there are differences between people.

Bian Yulou also saw this, and often complained in private that Jiangning County School was unfair.

Bian Yujing didn't say much, but became more serious and responsible in teaching.

She wants to prove to those who look down on her and the children from low-level families that even in poor conditions, she can teach students who are better than the other elementary schools around her!
