But the courtiers hadn't taken two steps on their legs, and Li Er hadn't stepped off his platform yet, so Zhang Nan shouted.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Nan's voice, even Li Er was taken aback, Li Er didn't know what Zhang Nan was suddenly crazy again. So Li Er frowned and asked, "Qingquan, what else do you have to do?" ”

After Zhang Nan heard this, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "That, the emperor, the minister still has this music, can you sit back again, the emperor?" ”

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Li Er suddenly looked like he wanted to faint, where is there such a courtier, and he can still ask himself if he can sit back when he goes to court. But since Zhang Nan still has this music, Li Er can't help but listen to it, so Li Er had to reluctantly raise his legs and go to the stage again, and sat on the dragon chair.

As soon as the courtiers saw that Li Er had sat back, they could only stand back in their positions.

After Li Er sat down, waiting for the courtiers to stand still, Li Er said with an impatient look: "Qingquan, if you have anything else, hurry up." ”

Zhang Nan also heard the impatience in Li Er's tone, so he said straight to the point: "The minister just wants to ask, can the emperor give the minister a batch of literate palace maids." ”

"What?" Li Er's eyes widened, and then he stretched his head forward, thinking that he had misheard.

"The minister said, can you give the minister a group of literate palace maids." Zhang Nan repeated.

"What do you want this literate palace maid for?" Li Er was puzzled, Zhang Nan is not a womanizer, even if he is a womanizer, it is impossible for this kind of request to be made in the early dynasty.

"It's not a big deal, the minister just wants these literate palace maids to teach in the academy." Zhang Nan said.

Unexpectedly, before Zhang Nan's words fell, Kong Yingda was the first to jump out and say: "Your Majesty, the ministers are against it." ”

Zhang Nan obviously didn't expect Kong Yingda to have such a strong reaction, and asked with a strange face: "Master Kong, what are you against?" ”

"This is naturally against the palace maid going to the academy to teach." Kong Yingda said as a matter of course.

In fact, not only Kong Yingda, but most of the ministers present couldn't understand why Zhang Nan did this, and the remaining small part was only skeptical, rather than supporting Zhang Nan.

Although the status of women in the Tang Dynasty was relatively high, it was also relative to other dynasties, and the whole society was still in a male superiority and inferiority, especially the children of people who read and write, and those who had money and social status, they all invited their husbands to go to the house to teach, as for women, it was taught by their mothers or fathers, not to mention teaching, it was not easy to be literate.

This is why there were far more talented people than talented women in ancient times.

And Kong Yingda obviously misunderstood, for Kong Yingda, teaching is not something that anyone can teach, and a teacher must have a certain knowledge reserve, like Zhang Nan, who opened his mouth to let a literate palace maid go to the academy to teach, then Kong Yingda was naturally unhappy.

"Ah, Master Kong misunderstood." As soon as Zhang Nan heard it, he knew that he hadn't made it clear, which made people misunderstand.

"Oh? Then Qingquan said that the old man had misunderstood? Kong Yingda stroked the beard on his chest and said.

"I don't want these palace ladies to teach students allusions, but to let them teach children." Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"Teaching children?" Li Er wondered.

"That's right, Your Majesty, we have primary education, secondary education, and university education, and the minister will propose an early childhood education today. That is, Mongolian education. Zhang Nan said.

"Isn't Mengxue education just about teaching children to read and write?" Li Er wondered.

For Li Er, it is enough for children to learn to read and write, Li Er doesn't know that things like a person's habit formation are all cultivated from an early age.

"That's right, the old man's protégés don't dare to say that every one of them is familiar with the scriptures and allusions, but the old man still has confidence in teaching children to read." Kong Yingda said.

"No, no, no, Master Kong, you are overconfident. Master Kong knows the importance of early childhood education. Zhang Nan asked.

Kong Yingda shook his head.

"Then let's explain it briefly. Early childhood education mainly refers to the implementation of education for children from three to six years old, early childhood education is connected with primary education, that is, our primary education, is an important and special stage of a person's education and development. Zhang Nan said.

"But is this still teaching children to read and write?" Li Er wondered.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, let the minister slowly explain to you the importance of this early childhood education." Zhang Nan smiled.

After Li Er heard this, he raised his chin and motioned for Zhang Nan to continue.

Early childhood education is not simply to teach children to recognize words, but to "three-dimensional balanced development of physical fitness, intelligence, and psychological ability" as the core, with a sense of security, willpower, sense of purpose, attention, memory, and thinking ability. Zhang Nan paused and continued.

"Early childhood plays a vital role in a person's future development, the child's early childhood, like a piece of clay, you twist him into a square, he is square, you twist him into a circle he is round. It can be seen that to cultivate children to develop good habits, we must start from a young age, starting from a little bit. Moreover, children are more obedient, easy to train, and it is easier to develop various habits. Your Majesty, are you right, even when you teach your children yourself, do you have to give them the principles of life, right and wrong, or good habits? ”

"Well, it's true, I attach more importance to my children's virtue than their homework." Li Er nodded and said. But this is what Li Er is talking about, Li Er will not teach children at all, or he has never taught children at all, otherwise there will be no guy who is inferior to beasts and the son who walks all day long, and the princess who cuckolds the horse.

Of course, this is all Zhang Nan's idea, at least in Li Er's eyes, he is successful as a father, at least more successful than Li Yuan.

However, some parents think that their children are still young and can't bear to take care of them, or they think that "the tree is naturally straight", and it should be taken care of when they are older. Or don't care at all, and when you get older, but because you haven't managed it well since you were a child, bad habits have been formed, and you can't manage it if you want to. Your Majesty, do you say that even if such a person grows up, is he useful? Zhang Nan said.

After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Li Er also thought about it carefully, what Zhang Nan said was not wrong.

"Well, that's right, this good habit must be developed when you are young, otherwise when you grow up, you will become a scoundrel in the market." Li Erdao.

"Yes, and more importantly, since we are responsible for the children's learning career, if we don't develop good habits for them as children, then these children will definitely grow up to be more difficult to manage and more difficult to educate." Zhang Nan said.
