Zhu Youxiao was thinking of top students from Tsinghua University and Peking University, and graduates from lesser-known third-tier universities. They say birth doesn't determine destiny; as long as you have a dream and are willing to work hard... fake, just toxic chicken soup!
But for the children of Shaoyingyuan, Zhu Youxiao still had to feed them the poisonous chicken soup. Of course, he would also do his best to be the driving force to change their fate.
"Students kowtow to the emperor!" Students kept kowtowing to the emperor, and their address also followed the emperor's instructions, changing from commoners to students.
That's right, this is also the change Zhu Youxiao made in the school. It gave the already miserable children a bit of confidence, so that they would not regard themselves as the grass at the bottom of the world that could be trampled on by others.
"No need to be polite."
"No need to be polite."
Zhu Youxiao did not find it annoying, nor did he cancel the kneeling ceremony. No one, whether ministers or common people, considered bowing to the emperor a humiliation, so why would he bother to cause trouble?
Moreover, at present, strengthening the emperor's authority is an important condition for ensuring the advancement of reform. As for the future, it will not be too late to promote equality and ideological liberation.
With a warm smile on his face, Zhu Youxiao would either give a few words of encouragement, ask a few simple questions, or nod in appreciation.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, noble status and superior identity are always admired and respected.
This is even more true in feudal society. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all grace, and the emperor is the supreme being, who can make you tremble when you see him.
This is not an exaggeration. Just think about the scenes when heads of state in later generations interact with ordinary people, and you can imagine what it was like in ancient times.
"I wish you a prosperous New Year and good health." Xiaoye bowed gently without shaking at all.
"No need for formalities!" Zhu Youxiao raised his hand with a smile. He was very impressed with the three-bar person he appointed. He was also good-looking and insightful. He was quite optimistic about Xiaoye's future.
Xiaoye was not too keen on the candies in the palace servants' hands, but there was a group of girls behind her who were smiling happily, chattering and expressing their gratitude and greetings.
"Is this an event?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously as he looked at the kids' attire.
Xiaoye smiled and replied, "Your Highness, we are rehearsing a play. It's mainly about some idiom stories, which are thought-provoking."
Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said, "It would be great to organize some campus activities, such as poetry, singing and dancing, talent shows, and sports competitions. We can have outings in the spring and sports meets in the early summer and autumn. Well, I do have some suggestions and ideas for this!"
Xiaoye blinked her big eyes. She didn't expect Wansui to say so much. He was much more amazing than her.
Before she could say anything, Zhu Youxiao remembered something and said with a smile, "Idiom stories alone are not enough. I also have a book of fables here. I will send it to the library after it is printed. You can choose from it."
As for Aesop's Fables, since it has been translated, it is also a good children's book.
In fact, the philosophical lessons contained in the book's fables can also inspire adults. For example, the repeated proposition in the book, "Contentment brings eternal happiness, while greed leads to worry," is very realistic.
"Wansui said it's a good book, and the stories in it must be very meaningful." Xiaoye complimented.
Zhu Youxiao chuckled and was even happier to hear May's words.
At this time, several teachers from Shaoying Academy also came to pay their respects. Zhu Youxiao simply said a few words of encouragement and then went to his office. He really had another idea that he wanted to implement in Shaoying Academy.
What about three bars and two bars? After all, it is still not enough and the incentive effect is not obvious enough.
How about the Boy Scouts, or the Red Turban Army? No, that's a rebellion! Let's just follow the name of the Young Talents Academy and call it the Young Talents Army.
The scarf was a must and would be issued to the army, as it could be used as a triangular handkerchief for emergency purposes, such as bandaging a wound. Zhu Youxiao decided to use a red background with a blue border, similar to the colors of the national flag that the Ming Dynasty would soon introduce.
The Ming Dynasty valued the virtue of fire. Red represented flames, also signifying the brightness of the sun and moon, while blue represented the sky. The light of the Great Ming illuminated the sky and would illuminate the entire world!
As for the national flag, we are the emperor, so we can just make some slight changes to it, just like the open flames hung on ships at that time to illuminate the sky.
Zhu Youxiao already had several plans in mind, but there were no professional artists in ancient times, so no one was qualified to judge the work of the emperor.
To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty is your home. The land, rivers, billions of people, and even the air are yours.
………………Dividing line………………
The Young Talents Army was about to be established, and the battle under Ningyuan City was in full swing. The blood was flowing, dyeing the red flag even redder.
Boom, boom, boom... A series of explosions rang out among the charging troops of the Later Jin army.
Amidst the smoke and flames, screams and cries were heard one after another, and no one knew how many Jian slaves were killed or injured in the explosion.
The saying that black powder is weak is relatively speaking. The use of gunpowder was a groundbreaking event in the history of weapons and warfare, and the era of black powder weapons lasted for hundreds of years.
The sturdy city turned into rubble amid the roar of cannons, and the thick city walls were "like a piece of paper peeled off" by the explosion of gunpowder. The number of people who died from black powder weapons was also quite astonishing.
Furthermore, the Ming army's firearms all used granulated gunpowder, which greatly increased their power and lethality. Even the heavily armored Jiannu were not immune to the shrapnel and could still be injured or killed.
After three days of attack, several trenches blocking the attack route were finally filled. Most of the Later Jin army's shield carts were destroyed, and the baoyi who filled the trenches also suffered heavy casualties.
But this was only the beginning of the real attack. When Nurhaci sent out his elite heavy armored troops, the Ming army's defense also deployed full firepower, causing the Jiannu to suffer from blood and fire.
