What Cao Huachun said was already very tactful. In fact, the adults in the court had long complained about these courses. But these were compiled by the emperor in the second year of Chongzhen. Now that the cabinet is rebuilt, all adults are cautious, but they still can't help but want to make adjustments. You can imagine how much impact this course has on the current "learning style".

Zhu Xu smiled but said nothing. He naturally knew about these things. He deliberately pretended not to know them, which means that he opposed the modification of the course!

He has played the edge ball as much as possible, but he does not want to go forward and backward.

All the students from Yangzhou Academy went to military training. Zhu Xu took a walk around and left and turned to Jiangdu County School.

Everyone walked slowly on the road and watched the scenery of Yangzhou.

Cao Huachun was worried that Zhu Xu would do something randomly, and said, "Emperor, Yangzhou has many beautiful places with great scenery, and people who come and go. Otherwise, let's go and see the scenery, and your travel notes can also be added."

Zhu Xu is in a hurry now, and where can I go to see the scenery, and probably guessed Cao Huachun’s thoughts, and said with a smile: “Well, I go to see it when I have time. By the way, what is the situation in Jiangdu County School? They won’t go to military training as well, right?”

Cao Huachun bowed slightly and said, "I have investigated. They have classes today, but there is no military training."

After a brief pause, he said: "Jiangdu County School was established two years ago. There is one college and three branches, with more than two thousand people..."

Zhu Xu paused, turned to look at him, and said strangely: "Why are there so many people in the county school?"

Cao Huachun glanced around and said, "Go back to the emperor, Yangzhou or the whole country of Ming Dynasty, they don't seem to care much about county schools. They all try their best to go to provincial schools and squeeze into provincial schools. Now most provincial schools are recruited directly, not from county schools. Moreover, county schools are free, and they are divided into age levels, ranging from eight to fifteen years old. Therefore, there are relatively many people..."

Zhu Xu's heart moved slightly and understood.

In order to take care of the current scholastic school, and the time is short, there are not enough academies. Except for the poor people, those with a little bit of family background and knowledge, they all try their best to squeeze into the prefecture school. The prefecture school can directly participate in the provincial examination, while the provincial examination can directly participate in the assembly examination! At the same time, the provincial examination and the provincial examination are limited in the number of places, which has caused the expansion of county education.

This is a deformity that can only be digested slowly by time.

Cao Bianjiao's man came back soon. Cao Bianjiao asked clearly and whispered to report, "Young Master, I found out clearly. The man's name is Gu Yanwu, his courtesy name is Zhongqing, and he is from Suzhou Prefecture. He seems to have been hit hard. Now he wants to go to Yingtian Military Academy."

"So it's him..."

Zhu Xu smiled. This is a great Confucian scholar of the future. He has an extremely unique side in his thoughts. Although he is a great Confucian scholar, there are breakthroughs in many places. Just look at his current notes, you can tell that he has already had the initial germination of feudalism and will surely touch the world in more than ten years!

Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu had many information channels and did not speak out after hearing this.

Zhu Xu walked slowly with his hands behind his back, thinking in his heart.

The thoughts of Gu Yanwu and others must have a huge conflict with reality at this time. They are still ordinary students and do not have that much say. If they cannot keep a low profile and keep a low profile, today's things will definitely be inevitable.

‘How can we make them feel at ease and complete their new ideological breakthroughs as soon as possible?’

Zhu Xu felt thoughtful and suddenly said, "Have Qian Qianyi arrived?"

Cao Huachun was secretly shocked and said, "Go back to the emperor, it has arrived. The tribute school that is in the past is preparing for this year's imperial examination."

"Minister of the Ministry of Rites..."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Call Gu Yanwu to Qian Qianyi as an assistant. After returning to Beijing, he will be the deputy editor of the Ministry of Rites newspaper. He will show me every issue."

Cao Huachun felt relieved after hearing this for some reason and said, "Abide by the order."

Zhu Xu and his group soon came to Jiangdu County School, and the courtyards were obviously not as good as those of the public school, but you could hear Lang Lang's reading sounds from afar.

Zhu Xu listened with a slightest eye, which should be the simplicity of "The University", and walked in with a smile.

The guard did not stop him and allowed Zhu Xu and his group to walk in.

Walking through a small bamboo forest, you will see a huge venue.

Bows and arrows, horse riding, long-distance running, weapons, etc. are not very similar to a county school, but more like a small military base.

There were a group of people running, a group of people shooting archery, and a group of people learning horses. They were all in their teens and full of youthful vitality.

Zhu Xu said with a slight head, "I am not allowed to have scholars who are powerless in my dynasty, it's not bad."

Both Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao knew that Zhu Xu had been deliberately cleaning up the trend of the scholars. This academy was the most powerful weapon. How could he not be happy to see such a high-spirited scholarly morale?

Just after walking a few steps, Cao Huachun stepped forward and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "Young Master, I heard that Liu Zongzhou is going to give lectures in Yangzhou."

Zhu Xu's brows moved. This man's reputation in the literary world of Daming became more and more famous. His word "scrupulous" also amazes many great scholars, and there are endless people who want to become disciples.

Zhu Xu pinched his chin. This person was extremely resistant to joining the officialdom. As for himself, he might not have much ability. However, his influence is increasing day by day. I wonder if it will become an obstacle to his ideological innovation?

While thinking, Zhu Xu saw an old man in his sixties in his white haired hands with a group of students sitting on the ground, discussing something on the lawn not far away.

Zhu Xu put aside Liu Zongzhou and walked forward a few steps.

He had fantasized about such a scene many times back then, after all, it was an inspirational person who wanted to be a professor to abuse students.

"Okay, today, I will write two questions after I go back, and I will hand them over to me." The old man sorted out his hem and said with a smile.

A group of students listened respectfully, with an extremely focused expression, all of whom were eleven or twelve years old.

"The first question: The Master said, 'There must be my teacher when three people walk.' Why did Dong Zhongshu, Han, still 'destroy all schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone'?"

"The second question: 'If you are greedy for the master, you will lose your country; if you are greedy for the minister, you will lose your body', how should you understand this sentence and how do you view the emperor's wealth?"

"It's the professor!" A group of students stood up, saluted respectfully, and then left.

"What a courage..."

Zhu Xu looked at the old man who stood up tremblingly, and his lips seemed to be smiling.

The first question is to directly use the fundamental Confucianism to discuss the legitimacy of "respecting Confucianism alone". The second one is even more amazing. Today, no one knows that the emperor loves money, and the shops in the name of "hui" are everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. This old man actually wants students to discuss him!

Cao Huachun and others also heard it, and couldn't help but frown secretly, with a slightly cold expression.

Discussing the emperor in private, especially the emperor's shortcomings are all taboos, not to mention using them for teaching purposes!

Zhu Xu stood up, slapped his back with a fan, and watched the old man leave tremblingly, and suddenly said with a smile: "You guys say, these two questions are very interesting, right?"

Strictly speaking, this is considered to be a "refuting the saint" and "refuting the lord". If you expose it, you will be punished!

Both Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao did not speak. The atmosphere among the scholars has become more and more "unrestrained" in recent years. Some things have been out of rules and awe, and they are taken out to discuss, question, and even deny them!

Although the emperor's motivation was added, it was actually because of the years of corruption in the government, the mixed scholars and the sensation of ideological schools. Some people's "infatuational words", "dream talk", "crazy and perverse words", even far exceeds Li Zhi's back then. In the past, the courts often ignored them on the grounds of "young and frivolous" and "worry to block the way of speech".

When it came to Chongzhen and Jing Zheng now, there was no stopping him, and he deliberately indulged him and even promoted their development.
