    ,

    Tian Xiuying, also known as Concubine Tian Gui of Chongzhen, was finally allowed to walk on the street.

    Even arranged for her a palace lady to help take care of her daily life, and she can also receive regular money every month.

    Zhao Han was rather stingy at first, so Tian Xiuying, a former imperial concubine, naturally couldn't enjoy the glory and wealth.  Her clothes are all made of cotton, not to mention silk, and she has to sew it herself.

    Not long ago, Tian Xiuying got a spinning wheel and bought cotton to spin cotton yarn in exchange for money.

    Early this morning, Tian Xiuying reported to the female official, and then took the maid Huier out to sell goods.  There is no need to hawk along the street, there are special shops to buy, anyway, it is just a little hard money.

    "Sell the lamp, sell the lamp!"

    A six or seven-year-old child was selling matches along the street.

    Although children are forced to study, there are still many dropouts in remote villages.  As for the city, the government is very strict, and it is really rare to see children who drop out of school due to poverty.

    So poor that children can't read?

    Then your whole family will go to the north, and the government will provide travel expenses.  Those who are willing to farm can divide the land, and those who are not willing to farm, the northern cities are also very short of people.

    The mandatory enrollment age is now set at eight years old, and after three years of primary school, it is eleven years old.  If the opportunity is bad, you can be an apprentice, and you can make a living by learning a craft.

    The child in front of him is a preschool child. He came over with a match in his hand and asked, "Madam, do you want to buy a lamp?"

    Seeing that he was cute and smart, Tian Xiuying couldn't help thinking of her son, nodded and smiled and said, "Buy twenty."

    The little match boy said, "Fifty matches. Fifty matches cost a penny."

    "Okay, just buy fifty." Tian Xiuying said.

    The profit of matches is very thin, even cheaper than fire pockets.  Cut pine or fir into small sticks, then infect them with sulfur, and use a fire knife to ignite them.

    In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was called Fazhu and Fazhu, in the Northern Song Dynasty it was called Yinguangnu and Huocun, and in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties it was called Fazhu and Cuier.  In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, matches were named Qudeng.

    This thing has been sold along the street since the Song Dynasty.

    The child counted fifty-one matches, tied them with straw ropes, handed them to Tian Xiuying and said, "Maybe one more, Madam will come back to buy it next time."

    Tian Xiuying said in a good mood: "Okay, I will look for you next time."

    The child smiled and said, "In half a year, I will be studying. If I don't study after the age of eight, I will be punished if the government finds out."

    "Then you are afraid that you will be number one in the examination in the future." Tian Xiuying said.

    The child smiled even more happily: "It's not the material for the number one examination. My father said that after graduating from elementary school and knowing how to read and write, I will be an apprentice to carpenter Zhang. Carpenter Zhang is the one who makes lamps (matches) for me."  Leftovers, he has a good relationship with my father."

    Tian Xiuying lived in the palace for more than ten years, and was under house arrest in Nanjing for another year. Now she especially likes the market scene.

    She bid farewell to the match seller, took the maid to sell cotton yarn, exchanged some copper coins and bought a lump of sugar for her son.

    At this moment, passers-by gathered in front of them and were pointing there.

    Tian Xiuying squeezed over curiously, but saw a few foreign barbarians heading for Beicheng on a sliding pole, and hired some labor behind them to carry them to salute.

    "Hey, these foreign monks have finally left, His Majesty should also demolish that foreign temple."

    "I heard that it's not over yet, there are still a few left in the foreign temple."

    "Walk a few times and count, but you can't see the appearance of red eyebrows and green eyes."

    "You don't know that the South has made a teaching plan again, and many people have died. Your Majesty is furious this time, and all the foreign monks who are disobedient have to go."

    ""

    The number of missionaries who are willing to break with the Holy See and stay in China is about 20-30%.

    Most of the Jesuits choose to leave, but they cannot go to the Philippines, which is dominated by the Dominicans. They can choose to go to India.

    Of course, some missionaries also chose to go to Shanxi to join Li Zicheng.

    As for the Dominicans and the Franciscans, all the missionaries were expelled from the country and are now packing up and boarding ships in Fujian and Guangdong.

    Back in his small courtyard, there are already maids waiting.

    That was Liu Rushi's court lady, and she greeted and saluted when they met: "My wife invites Madam to sit down for a while."

    "Let's go now, sister, wait a moment." Tian Xiuying went back to the house to tease the children, and then picked up the bamboo flute to visit Liu Rushi.

    This Concubine Tian Gui knows how to ride and shoot, is also proficient in rhythm, and also knows calligraphy and painting, so she can chat well with Liu Rushi.

    According to legend, Emperor Chongzhen's old clothes were mended by Concubine Tian Gui herself.  ?They have been immigrating abroad, otherwise the problem of education expenditures would have erupted long ago.

    But ten or twenty years later, as the population in the north increases, the population in the south will also increase. By then, free education will definitely not be able to continue.  Although it is also possible to immigrate overseas, it is difficult to start a business overseas, and only young men and women must be immigrated, and it is impossible to immigrate children.

    Although Zhao Han was quite reluctant, he still picked up the ink pen and slowly wrote the word "ke" on the back of the cabinet's approval.

    After thinking for a while, I added a few more words: cancel school meals, charge for books, and proceed step by step.  This year it will be in three counties, and next year it will be in Jiangxi.  Within three years, it will be implemented in the south of the Yangtze River, and gradually implemented in the north of the Yangtze River.  In the newly occupied land, the people are poor, and within five years, the old law will be used.

    ? Zhao Han got up and walked back and forth, then sat down to add his pen and ink: Do not charge for books by force, so as not to be taken advantage of by corrupt officials and booksellers.

    ?Books are very valuable, and families who cannot afford the cost of books can share a book with several children.  Or, if you invite literate people from the village, it will be cheaper to copy books than printed materials, since there are not many contents in elementary school textbooks anyway.

    Those mountainous areas are even worse, and many schools are ruined temples.  A single teacher teaches all subjects in a comprehensive manner. Some schools do not have all the books, and some schools still use old textbooks. The students' pen and ink are completely controlled by their parents.  After finishing elementary school, they can only read and write, and they have not practiced calligraphy at all. Children in mountainous areas still have no way out.

    There is no way to surpass the times, Zhao Han can only do this.
