"Dad, I want to go to school like my younger brother." The seven-year-old Xiaoya begged his father Kong Jie, who had just returned from Dagukou.

Kong Jie went to Dagukou this time and killed twenty-six Qing soldiers, including one of the Green Camp's Cavs, a total of one Mongolian Eight Banners, and injured one Niulu Zhangjing. He made great contributions, not only won 600 taels of silver (according to the ten taels of silver of a Green Camp, and 20 taels of silver of an Eight Banners soldier, the reward for killing an Eight Banners soldier was higher), but also promoted to a hundred-house officer.

"Go and go, stop making trouble, what kind of books are you reading in a movie?" Kong Jie pushed his daughter away impatiently, "Anyway, he will get married in the future. After his daughter gets married, she will be poured out water and is a family from her husband's family. What's the use of studying? A waste of money!"

"The father of the child," Kong Jie's wife felt sorry for her daughter. "Anyway, the school run by the Marquis almost costs money. It only costs 30 cents a year, equivalent to the previous three hundred cents. You have made great contributions this time. The family is not short of money. If you take out a few taels of silver, you can let your child study. Are you still reluctant to leave this little money?"

"Present-minded girls, you know nothing!" Kong Jie cursed, "It's easy to say three hundred cents a year. According to what my uncle said, after eight years of study, it was considered a new school. After nine years, it was only 2 taels and 4 cents of silver! How much pork can you buy and how much delicious food can you buy? Wasting it on girls is wasted!"

Xiaoya sobbed and contradicted her father: "Dad, the sister of the Zhang family has also gone to school. She told me that a girl can be a soldier, a medical officer, a female teacher, and even a Jinyiwei. Who said that a girl is useless to study? After studying, she can make money for her family."

Kong Jie sneered: "I've read a book and earn money to my family? When you finish your studies, it's time to get married! Our family spends money to support you in school, and earn money to my mother-in-law after studying. This is a loss-making business, and labor and capital are not allowed! Girls are just money-losing goods!"

"Dad, after I finished my studies, I don't rush to get married. I will respect you and my mother for a few more years first. It's not too late to get married again. I heard that when the Marquis and the princess got married, the princess was already eighteen years old. I studied for eight years, and after I finished my studies at fifteen, I can still be filial to my parents for three years, and it's still time to get married again at eighteen. If I could be an Embroidered Uniform Guard and still be a medical officer, I will earn all the money I spent in these eight years of study to my father after working for three years, and I can still have the rest." Xiaoya argued.

"Bah! He is a princess with golden branches and jade leaves. Just because you, a money-losing guy, is worthy of comparing with His Royal Highness?" Kong Jie cursed.

"Who said that girls are money-losing people?" While the father and daughter were arguing, Zhao Peng's voice came from outside.

Kong Jie quickly turned his head and saw Zhao Peng wearing a purple flying fish suit and a wingless black hat standing behind him. There were several Jinyiwei wearing a big red flying fish suit beside him. Seeing Zhao Peng, Kong Jie quickly knelt down and saluted: "I am not good at marquis!"

Zhao Peng helped Kong Jie up with his own hands: "Hahaha, you are a great hero of our Ming Dynasty. Please get up quickly!"

After Kong Jie stood up, he looked around the house and found that there was not even a decent table and chair in the house. So he said with guilt: "Mr. I'm sorry, the house is too simple, and there is no place for the Marquis to sit. I hope the Marquis will forgive me."

Zhao Peng laughed: "It's okay, Kong Baihu, let's go to the reception room of the imperial village outside and call your aunt and children together."

The imperial village of the Ming Dynasty was adapted from the original military households. Although the imperial village was not a farm opened by the Donglin Party, the imperial village was similar to the commune nature of later generations.

It can be said that Zhao Peng's change to the Donglin Party was very successful. Today, the Donglin Party has completely become an industrial and commercial bourgeoisie. Most of the Donglin Party members are engaged in industrial and commercial production activities. Some of the more conservative Donglin Party members, who are based on land, have also changed their original idea of ​​transparency, turning the rent of farmland to tenants into farms and hiring agricultural workers. The few most conservative Donglin Party members are left. Although they still rely on land rent for a living, they rent the land to some farmers who know how to produce large-scale agricultural products. Those farmers hire agricultural workers to engage in production, and then pay land rent to the Donglin Party.

The land of the Donglin Party in Jiangnan has almost all been turned into farmland. Some Donglin Party members even turned their farmland into factories, docks, shops, commercial centers, residential buildings and other buildings when they saw huge profits from industry and commerce. The original farmland disappeared, and beautiful buildings rose up one after another. The Donglin Party members collected land rent, so the income from land rent was far higher than that of farmland land rent.

However, the imperial villages in the Ming Dynasty did not adopt the production model of agricultural workers, but were somewhat similar to the combination of communes and contract responsibility systems in later generations. The management method of the imperial villages was similar to the commune model. Different jobs were assigned according to the official positions of different levels. The imperial villages included office buildings, sales departments, procurement departments, warehouses, canteens, etc., as well as schools, medical rooms, etc. in the imperial villages.

However, in terms of income distribution, each household is his own. After paying the tenant rent, the remaining income is his own. Moreover, because it is an imperial village, the military households only need to pay the tenant rent to His Majesty the Emperor and do not have to bear the state’s taxes.

Although military households need to serve in the military during wartime, they are paid for military service and can receive military pay. If they make meritorious service, they can also receive additional rewards.

In fact, no one except Zhao Peng can see it. The real core of the imperial village is the new school!

The new schools in the imperial village are divided into two types: elementary school and secondary school. Among them, elementary school is equivalent to the primary school of later generations. Students study here for four to five years. In addition to literacy and learning traditional Chinese literature such as classical Chinese and ancient poetry, they also learn arithmetic, basic scheming and other knowledge. Those with excellent academic performance will take the graduation exam four years later. Those with ordinary academic performance will take the graduation exam five years later. Those who pass the exam will graduate from the elementary school.

After graduating from the elementary school, you can enter the secondary school to continue your studies. The secondary school is divided into liberal arts and science. In addition to the traditional eight-legged essay education, there are also various literature and historical knowledge education, as well as simple research and biology knowledge. Graduating from the secondary school liberal arts is equivalent to a scholar. You can take the juren exam or go to Nanjing High School to continue your studies.

After graduating from the liberal arts of Nanjing Higher High School, you can obtain the same academic qualifications as those of Juren, which means you can directly take the imperial examinations in Beijing, such as the imperial examinations and the palace examinations, and obtain fame.

The science subject in the secondary school is a school founded by Zhao Peng in the future to reform the imperial examination system. Science subjects mainly study mathematics, study, chemistry, medicine, etc., which were called strange and skill by scholars back then, but these basic sciences are exactly the needs of human development.

After passing the science graduation exam in the secondary school, the academic qualifications obtained are equivalent to the fame of scholars, Zhao Peng called it a scholar of studying matters. Students who have obtained the fame of studying matters can enter the science of Nanjing Higher Middle School, and the learning content is naturally much more advanced than that of the secondary school. Once they pass the science graduation exam in the higher middle school, they can obtain the fame of studying matters and juren and take the university exam.
