Li Jie actually brought the archives of the Qiuzhen Academy, which made Lao Zhu quite curious. He knew that the Qiuzhen Academy and martial arts were established almost at the same time. Now martial arts has successfully sent a large number of generals to the army, and some have even become middle and high-level leaders in the army. It is estimated that it will not take long before the entire army will be replaced by generals with martial arts background.

So Lao Zhu took the file and opened it and read it carefully. The content inside also surprised Lao Zhu.

Chen Tao, a student of the first class of Qiuzhen Academy, was born in a poor family, proficient in mathematics, astronomy and geography. After graduation, he entered the Imperial Heaven Supervision Office and is currently in the position of the five-in-law lawsuit.

Wang Fang, the first student of the Juezhen Academy, was a small businessman and proficient in physics and mathematics. After graduation, he first entered the shipyard. He opened his own shipyard three years ago. The sea ship he designed was excellent in performance and was rushed to buy by major sea merchants. He has now become a famous workshop owner in Suzhou.

Liu Zhen, the first student of Qiuzhen Academy...

One name after another is recorded in the archives. These students who graduated from academies either entered the government or went to business, and even worked as craftsmen and farmers. However, most of them can do something in their own positions. For example, the farmer was originally a big landlord in the Jiangnan area. He had been rich in food and clothing since childhood, but he was very interested in the planting industry, so he opened up his own fields to improve rice seeds. It is said that he has been quite effective now.

Compared with martial arts students who can only be generals, the student professions in the Xuzhen Academy are varied, and some of them have not even been heard of by Lao Zhu, but this does not prevent Lao Zhu from seeing the excellent performance of these students after graduation.

What surprised Lao Zhu even more was that there were still students in the academy who participated in the imperial examinations while studying miscellaneous studies and passed the imperial examinations all the way. For example, among the first batch of southern students admitted this year, there was a Jinshi named Fang Liang, who came from Nanjing Qiuzhen Academy.

Lao Zhu turned around one by one, and as soon as he went back, the shorter the time for students to graduate, for example, the last one was the students who had just graduated last year, and the students who had not graduated this year had not graduated yet. Among the students who had graduated last year, many of them were stolen by people after graduation, and some were even invited by royal people to be gentlemen. For example, Zhu Mengcheng, who was far away in Annan, has been invited from the academy to Annan to teach him the knowledge of the academy in recent years.

"It's not bad, I didn't expect that the students in the academy were so popular!" After reading this file, Lao Zhu couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, this is normal. Compared with poetry, songs and other things, the teachings in the Academy of Truth-Quozhen are more practical, such as mathematics, medicine, etc. As long as you can learn it, countless people will rush to get out of the school gate." Li Jie also showed a proud smile at the end. Since the first day of the establishment of the Academy, he has been working hard for today's situation, and now he has finally paid off.

"I understand. You want the court to teach these practical knowledge in public schools after opening public schools in various places. Although it is not as deep as in the academy, it is also competent for the position of minor officials. If they work hard enough, they can even be transferred from officials to officials in the future!"

At this time, Lao Zhu finally realized Li Jie's good intentions. I am afraid that others would never dream of it. When Li Jie established the Academy of Truth and later established an official and transferred an official, these two things that were originally unrelated were actually chess pieces that Li Jie had long buried. If it could be realized, it would completely cut off the roots of Confucianism.

"Your Majesty is wise. The accumulated problems of selecting scholars in the imperial examination are too serious. Although it can be repaired and repaired, it is useless to the country. So now it is time to make some changes to the imperial examination!" Li Jiaoguang said firmly again. Although he knew that this matter was full of difficulties and might even take him to realize it for his whole life, Li Jie would never retreat for the sake of his ideal.

After hearing this, Lao Zhu also showed a thoughtful look again. After a while, he sighed softly: "If it were ten years ago, I would definitely agree to you without hesitation, but you must know that I don't have much time now, so I'm afraid I'm powerless!"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to do anything, you just need your Majesty nod. I will personally convince Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Jie said solemnly again. He knew what Lao Zhu was worried about. After all, it would take more than ten years or even decades of uninterrupted efforts to achieve certain results.

"Do you think you can convince the prince?" Lao Zhu suddenly asked back.

"This... I'm half sure." Li Jie hesitated for a moment before speaking. Zhu Biao was not Lao Zhu or Zhu Yun-chul. In fact, Zhu Biao received orthodox Confucian education since childhood. The famous Confucian scholar Song Lian was Zhu Biao's teacher, so Zhu Biao was actually very affectionate about Confucianism. It is probably not easy to ask him to support Li Jie to dig out the roots of Confucianism.

"Don't lie to yourself. With my understanding of the prince, you are not even 30% sure!" Lao Zhu smiled and shook his head, saying, "No one knows his son is better than his father." He really knows Zhu Biao's son very well. Maybe Zhu Biao may support Li Jie in other things, but for such a big thing, it is probably difficult for Zhu Biao to support him. Even if Lao Zhu expresses his opinion, he can only suppress Zhu Biao for a while. When Lao Zhu is gone, Zhu Biao may change his mind.

"I..." Li Jie originally wanted to say something else, but under Lao Zhu's eyes, he finally said nothing. In fact, he also knew that it was difficult to convince Zhu Biao to support him wholeheartedly. This was also because he kept the above words in his heart, and he only told Lao Zhu only this day.

"Don't rush to persuade the prince first. You can tell me your detailed plan first. If you can't even convince me, then your thoughts should be broken in your stomach!" Lao Zhu suddenly waved his hand.

Li Jie couldn't, so he could only sigh silently, and then said: "In my opinion, public schools mainly recruit children from the lower class for a living. If they want to get rid of their parents' poverty, they can only rely on learning knowledge from public schools. However, public schools mainly use the banner of enlightenment and also teach some contents such as the Four Books and Five Classics, so as to avoid stimulating those Confucian scholars from the beginning..."

Li Jie has been considering the above plan for many years, and even some details have been considered very well. Now that he has explained it one by one, Lao Zhu nodded repeatedly when he heard it. When he encountered some omissions, Lao Zhu would also express his opinions, which made Li Jie more excited and gradually the whole plan became more complete.
