Wanxiang Academy is responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and everything is not a word.

All items, tableware, clothing, quilts, and pens, ink, paper and ink for study are provided.

When Zhang Junping arrived at the academy, Liu Dajiang had not left yet. After paying the bill, Liu Dajiang took the initiative to bring the made furniture to the room and put it neatly. He cleaned the room and yard again.

The simple craftsman used this method to thank Zhang Junping for his reward.

The academy has a large area, with hundreds of houses in front, back and left and right. The twenty yards in front are classrooms and teachers' dormitories, and the yard in the middle is larger. Zhang Junping arranged for people to build a row of houses. There are now more than forty houses, and this is the dormitories for students.

There are two small courtyards in the east. The courtyard on the east is where great scholars live, and the courtyard on the west has been converted into a canteen.

There is also a very large back garden at the end, but now, the back garden has been changed into a playground by Zhang Junping.

Zhang Junping walked around the room one by one and looked around.

There are thirty desks in the classroom. These desks are not the book cases of this era, but the desks of later generations.

Looking at the history of the development of ancient furniture, we will find that the Song Dynasty was a dynasty in which furniture undergoes major changes.

The Song Dynasty completed the transformation to kneel down to a chair.

It is now the early Song Dynasty, although there are furniture for learning, such as chairs, tables, and tables.

However, in the early stages of the change, there was still a big problem, that is, the table was too short and the case was too high, and it was not in line with human structure. To put it bluntly, it was uncomfortable to use it.

The Song Dynasty had not yet considered the relationship between furniture size and human body structure. The book case was too high and had to hold arms while sitting on a chair. Over time, people would be very easily tired.

The table is too short, and people lie on it and write. Over time, it will cause spinal deformation, such as hunchback.

Therefore, Zhang Junping designed a set of tables and chairs according to the human structure for students to use.

"Mr. Xie, have you used this chalk? Is it easy?" Zhang Junping stood in the classroom, picked up a piece of chalk, and asked Xie Kan who followed him.

"The chalk invented by the chief of the mountain is really a powerful tool for teaching. When I write chalk on the stone slab, I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after a little practice, I got used to it!"

There must be no blackboard in this era. Zhang Junping asked someone to buy large pieces of bluestone, spliced ​​them and inlaid them on the wall, and used them as blackboards.

Not only that, every student also gave a piece of bluestone that was one foot square to practice writing.

Not only that, the floors of the front and middle courtyards are covered with bluestone. This is not only for the sake of show, but also for students to practice calligraphy.

Practicing calligraphy is still very expensive in this era, but in this era, we attach great importance to fonts. The quality of the characters is directly related to the fate of scholars to a certain extent.

Being poor, literary and wealthy, is just a very broad description. A truly poor person cannot afford to read books.

Zhang Junping is not short of money now, but he cannot afford to use good rice paper for students to practice calligraphy.

After walking around the academy, Zhang Junping saw that all aspects were almost ready, so he said to Xie Kan: "Import those students to be admitted to the hospital tomorrow!"

"I understand! I'll arrange someone to inform you now!" Xie Kan agreed.

There are not only teachers in the academy, but also some slaughter-in-charges responsible for miscellaneous matters.

Xie Kan arranged for a labourer to inform the students who registered to be admitted tomorrow.

A simple admission notice caused a stir in Kaifeng Prefecture.

"Have you heard it?" In the restaurant, someone asked loudly like someone around him.

This is a routine of conveying gossip. First, you can attract everyone's attention loudly, and then play hard to get. If you want to tell you the news, do you know?

It will be easier to do if you say you don’t know!

He began to tell you the art-processed rumor that he knew.

"What's the matter?" Sure enough, someone next to him asked back.

It is now the third hour of Shen Shi, which is about four o'clock in the afternoon. Those who drink in the restaurant are basically idle people, and those who are most interested in gossip are these idle people.

"Then the Vientiane Academy will officially open tomorrow!"

"The hospital is open? Then I'll hurry up and notify my sister-in-law's aunt. Her boy was lucky to sign up!"

"You don't need to inform me. The academy has arranged people to inform me from each other's door to door!"

"You don't understand this, right? It's such a big deal to go to school, and you have to go and congratulate me in person!" The man said, bowing and getting up and leaving.

"Don't worry about him, congratulations, Li Er is going to ask for wine!" A person next to him knew Li Er and revealed the mechanism in one sentence.

"I'll just say it! His sister-in-law's aunt's son still uses him to congratulate him?

Speaking of which, I really envy those who can sign up for the registration!

My family went to my house for a while and couldn't sign up, so I let the wife complain! I don't know when will Vientiane Academy recruit students?"

"I heard that the Zhang family officials are planning to build a larger academy outside the city that can accommodate thousands of people to enroll at the same time. I don't know when it will be completed?"

"Academy with thousands of people? That's even bigger than the Imperial Academy!"

"Who said no! The Zhang family officials are rich and are willing to spend money to support scholars! This is the real good family!"

"Brother said this, so the Zhang family is not a waste of money to support their studies. They cost 300 guan a year, and an ordinary academy cannot spend so much money even in ten years! It can be seen that the Zhang family is even more unscrupulous than the usury!" A scholar with a greasy head and a pink face shook his folding fan and put forward different opinions.

"It's nonsense! The Zhang family made it clear in advance and signed a contract. Only when they passed the Jinshi exam will they be charged! If they fail the Jinshi exam, they will not be charged!

Then, the Wanxiang Academy only recruits 300 people, and one hundred of them are elementary school students. How many Jinshi can 200 people pass the exam?

It would be great if there were three or five!

Three or five Jinshis, only more than one thousand stakes a year can support a college?

If you don’t understand, don’t bark here! It disturbs people’s mood!” Suddenly, a middle-aged scholar dressed in his thirties slapped the table and scolded the greasy and powdery scholar.

The imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty was divided into three steps. The first step was the palace examination, also called the continent examination, and if it passed, it was the juren. The provincial examination was held in the spring of the second year after the palace examination, also called the college examination. Only after the college examination was passed was the Jinshi, and finally the palace examination was taken, and the emperor appointed the top scholar.

After passing the second level and passing the Jinshi, he can become an official regardless of his or her palace examination score.

The government examination is a test for students from a government examination together and are admitted according to the quota.

In the provincial examination, tens of thousands of students from all over the country gathered in the capital to conduct unified examinations, and finally admitted only 300 or 400 people. It can be seen that the competition is so great that it is many times greater than the national examinations in later generations.

So, the middle-aged scholar just now said that it would be extremely important to pass the exam of Wanxiang Academy three or five Jinshi.
Chapter completed!
