Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye thought that the two previous classes of students in Jiuzhang Hall would never give up the title of students, but Zhang Shou, who understood the students' situation, knew that most people didn't care much about what Zhou Jijiu and Luo Siye thought was important. Because even if the current emperor was determined to rectify the academic style of the Imperial College, the Imperial College today was no longer the Imperial College in the early years of Emperor Taizu.
When Emperor Taizu personally wrote the word "University" and hung it in front of the Imperial College, he really hoped that the Imperial College would train talents according to the standards of a comprehensive university in later generations. He also made many exceptions in the appointment of students. As for now, hehe, Jinshi often have to wait for the candidate to be assigned to an official position, and Juren can't even get a chance to be an official, let alone a mere student...
Most of the students came from the Imperial Academy. The rich kids who didn't care about fame and fortune had accomplished their mission of getting a good family background and could continue to live a carefree life. But those from ordinary or even poor families had to struggle for survival.
As a result, some people became staff members for officials, most of whom just worked as advisors to a county magistrate; some people tried their best to teach students in the homes of wealthy landlords, and had to compete with more jobless candidates; some people could only teach in private schools or clan schools, and they had to accept the scrutiny and assessment of the parents...
If it weren't for the old rule that all local official schools had to send people to the Imperial College as tribute, and if it weren't for the fact that every Imperial College chief and dean would go to great lengths to recruit a few outstanding students to serve as the Imperial College's face - for example, he heard from Zhu Ying that when Zhu Tingfang was first admitted to the academy, it was the previous chief who personally went to the Zhu family's gate and begged him to go earlier, the Imperial College would have completely declined long ago!
Therefore, after Zhang Shou said those words to the students, he did not continue the topic, but started to explain the topic and continued teaching. When the morning class was finally over, he still kept silent about moving Jiuzhang Hall to the public school, but the third prince suddenly stood up and rushed to him.
"Teacher!" After calling out, the Third Prince hesitated for a moment, but finally asked directly, "If Jiuzhangtang moves from the Imperial Academy to the public school in the outer city, can I also go there to study with you?"
Zhang Shou looked at the Third Prince, whose face still had a childish look but a determined expression, and said with a smile, "That depends on you. If you ask me, I think Zheng Rong can go over and continue listening to the lecture."
The third prince nodded with great joy.
The students in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally all of them thought that if the Third Prince was willing to move to the Outer City Public School, then they should go with him. After all, the atmosphere of the Imperial College was not so friendly to them. But then, the people who were whispering heard a loud shout from outside: "Third Brother!"
The Fourth Prince, who had been to Jiuzhang Hall before, was naturally familiar with everyone. Seeing this little guy rushing in, he rushed over and hugged the Third Prince without saying a word, and a lot of students were stunned. Even though they knew that the two brothers were very close on weekdays, it was the first time that they acted so oblivious in public. What happened
