Outside the Meridian Gate.
The ministers are already waiting here on time to attend court.
It was still early and one could still see the occasional old man in court robes riding his bicycle arriving late.
Another group of people had already brought their small stools and sat on the street, eating breakfast and chatting with their colleagues.
This can be considered as a daily meeting.
But today is a little strange. In the past, everyone was discussing world affairs, but today everyone is talking about their own things.
Most people were excitedly describing the amazing changes in their younger generations after they returned from Yucai Primary School.
Zhang Dongxiang was eating his breakfast calmly, but his ears were stretched far away.
"Old Wang, you won't believe it if I tell you, but my third child is amazing after returning from Yucai. He knows more words than my second child!"
"Really? Congratulations! My grandson is not bad at all. He can read any book and even washes my feet!"
"Hey, my grandson washed me too."
"What, you washed it too?"
As the discussions spread, some people began to gradually gather towards the center of the discussion.
At first everyone was very happy and proud, but the more they talked, the more something seemed wrong.
"What's going on? You've all washed up!"
The more Zhang Dongxiang listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. Zheng Qiao came up to him and asked, "Did your grandson wash your feet?"
"My grandson has been filial since he was young, so he will definitely wash it!" Zhang Dongxiang curled his lips, "He even told me a story."
But at this moment, the discussion suddenly became intense.
"You just washed feet, but my grandson told me stories."
"Is it the story about the duck swimming around?"
\"Huh? How did you know?\"
"I heard that too. This is a homework assignment...Fang Zhengyi, this bastard!!"
The crowd was shocked.
Someone excitedly asked, "Did your child come home and ask to see the account book?"
"I saw it... Haha, he wanted to see our account book. Fang Zhengyi even used his children. He is really capable!"
"The Imperial Guards use homework as an excuse. They have no moral bottom line!"
Then there was another round of verbal criticism of Fang Zhengyi.
It was a waste of time to have fun all night!
Zhang Dongxiang looked extremely unhappy. Zheng Qiao patted him twice with sympathy and comforted him, "It's all the same, it's all the same. It's all right as long as the filial piety is genuine. No matter what, as long as the child studies well, that's all."
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, did your grandson look at the account book you asked for yesterday? My grandson even drew a table."
Zhang Dongxiang was silent for a while and said, "Yes, that form has infinite uses and is really powerful. If it can be implemented, it will definitely be a great help. I will present it to Your Majesty today."
As he spoke, he took out a form from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Qiao.
Zheng Qiao took the form, took a look at it, and said to Zhang Dong with a half-smile, "I didn't expect that your family lives in such poverty."
"Oh, you're old now, how much money can you spend? Look at yours."
Zheng Qiao took out the form and handed it over.
Zhang Dongxiang was silent after reading it: "It's over, Mr. Zheng, your whole family only spends this little money, it's enough to beg for food."
"Oh, I'm old too..."
The two of them put away the forms in tacit agreement. Zheng Qiao asked, "Will your grandson continue to study next semester? That's five thousand taels per semester."
Zhang Dongxiang looked at Zheng Qiao calmly and uttered three words: "I won't read it anymore."
It doesn’t matter if my grandson’s performance is the homework or not, what matters is that he did it! And he has made great progress!
The child must continue studying in the second semester. Fang Zhengyi’s teaching is indeed very effective. If he does not study, won’t he lag far behind his peers in the future?
Besides...he also gave him a pocket watch! This was something Fang Zheng's son told his grandson privately, so others definitely didn't know.
The most important thing is that Yucai Primary School is very small. The fewer people go to school, the stronger the teaching staff!
One-on-one teaching is best!
Seeing Zhang Dongxiang's firm attitude, Zheng Qiao nodded and said seriously: "We won't study at home either. It doesn't matter where you study. You can't let others deceive you for nothing!"
“That’s right!”
At the same time, another group of people who were still denouncing Fang Zhengyi also talked about the same topic.
Most people said they would not read it anymore! We must not let Fang Zhengyi, a greedy villain, earn this money!
However, this heated discussion did not last more than two minutes, and the group of people began to disperse with their own thoughts.
Half a cup of tea later, a sedan chair appeared in front of the Meridian Gate.
Seeing this familiar sedan chair, everyone outside the Meridian Gate immediately stood up and stretched their heads to look around.
Fang Zhengyi is here!
Inside the sedan, Fang Zhengyi yawned.
After he got off the sedan chair and stepped out lazily, as soon as he stretched out his foot and lifted the curtain, several people quickly ran to his side.
Several people came forward and greeted him: "Master Fang is here?"
Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Hmm? What can I do for you?"
"Yes, the first semester of Yucai Primary School has ended, so we are here to register!"
Looking at several pairs of expectant eyes, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked not far away.
Seeing that a group of people were still waiting and watching, he smiled and raised his voice and said, "No problem, no problem. I remember all of your children clearly. They all have excellent academic performance and are smart. They are preparing to be divided into classes next semester, and they just happened to be assigned to the top class."
"What class division?" someone asked.
The group of officials who were watching moved forward together, wanting to hear more clearly.
Fang Zheng said, "Oh, this is about class division. We divide students into classes based on their different talents, so that they can be taught in accordance with their aptitude. Some students are particularly smart and learn quickly, so we plan to set up a top class, and the rest will naturally be ordinary classes."
