1896 The emperor’s idea

Learn what?

The Emperor had also thought it through.

These were all rich children who did not have a noble title and did not know how to pass the Imperial examinations. Therefore, they either learned business, Butler, or a skill.

The Emperor listed a list of subjects to choose from, including riding and archery, zither and chess, painting and calligraphy, agriculture, business, wood, and so on.

Every student had to take up certain subjects and could choose to take up certain subjects. The first year, they had to take up all the subjects. From the second year onwards, they would take an annual assessment for the few subjects they had to take and the few subjects they chose. If they failed, they would be held back until they passed all the subjects they had to take up and could leave the Royal Academy.

Every day, it would start at 15 am and end at 15 PM. The lunch break would last for two hours, and it would start at 15 PM and end at 15 PM.

He would rest for two days every eight days, and he would rest for six days every month.

Apart from rest days, they were to spend the rest of the time in the Academy and were not allowed to come out.

Among the rich and powerful disciples of the great Zhou Dynasty, the latest men would be admitted was fourteen, and the latest women would be twelve.

At the same time, the Emperor also made a hard rule that the marriage between a man and a woman must be at least sixteen years old. The Yamen was not allowed to issue marriage contracts to those below that age. This was not only observed by the children of rich families, but also by the people of the great Zhou.

The Emperor took out a list and handed it to Gu shouxin. On it was a list of the children of various families who were qualified and of age in the capital.

Good Lord, there were so many pages. How big was this college?

Gu shouxin could not help but think of the world that Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian had mentioned. Both men and women had to study from a young age, and they had to study for nine years.

Niannian didn’t tell the Emperor about this, right? how did the Emperor think of getting a bunch of them to study for six years?

“Your Majesty, according to what I know, there are people on this list who have been weak since they were young. If they don’t come out of the Academy for a few days and something happens to them, what should we do?” Gu shouxin asked.

“There’s another point that I found out from my children. They were all very stupid, and some of them only listened to the advisor, as if they did not have a brain. If they were to go to the academy on their own, all their families were either rich or noble, and the teachers of the Academy could not favor one and discriminate against the other. At this time, what could they do? He could only rely on himself. Where there were people, there would be right and wrong. They had to rely on their own abilities to solve this problem and learn how to get along with people. He didn’t need to beg others for help. Everyone should have their own opinions.”

The Emperor said this very seriously, and it was obvious that he was somewhat heartbroken.

He must have thought of the third Prince and the seventh Prince. The third Prince listened to Li Shan, while the seventh Prince listened to imperial concubine Lin and Minister Lin. These two brothers had always wanted to ascend to the throne and thought that the people around them were all experts. However, they did not know that they were outsiders from the Green Mountain. If something happened to the experts, and they did not have the ability to turn the situation around, wouldn’t they be useless?
