The greatest changes that have taken place in various localities have not attracted the attention of the officials of the DPRK and China, whose main attention has been concentrated on the aspect of wealth and the army, and they have not been able to notice, or rather not devote enough attention to, the changes that will really play a decisive role.

Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, Su Tiancheng has spent a lot of effort on education.

The government-run school began to be fully established in Fuzhou County, considering the special situation, the conditions are better in Fuzhou County, the government-run school needs to have at least five schools, and where the conditions are not good, there are also two schools, it is said that there are also schools in the previous dynasty, and there are special teachings, but today's schools are different from before.

The imperial examination still exists, so among the schools in various places, there is a special school, for those who are about to take the imperial examination to train students, and the rest of the schools are beginning to recruit children who have reached the age of six to start studying, although the government does not force all children to enter the school to study, but the conditions are slightly better, and the family will definitely send their children to the school to study.

The establishment of the school did not cause any controversy, all the important officials of education are clear, the only aspect of recruiting women in the school has caused a huge controversy, Confucianism believes that women are not talented is virtuous, and they do not approve of women having any knowledge at all, even Yang Sichang, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Qian Qianyi and others all think so, many government-run schools have been built in various places, Liu Zongzhou and others strongly support it, and they have volunteered to inspect on behalf of the imperial court, but in terms of the school can recruit women, all the mouths are opposed.

Su Tiancheng spent a lot of energy to convince everyone that the improvement of the national quality is not a matter of one or two days. can only rely on education to change, but women can not enter the school, this is like lame, you must know that education and family also have a lot to do with the child, a child, after returning home. The mother who accompanies her every day is illiterate, how can she educate, the so-called woman is virtuous if she is not talented, there is no reason, it is completely discriminatory against women.

After Su Tiancheng became the emperor, he rarely forcibly issued any holy decrees, and generally made a decision after discussion by everyone, which is also one of the many rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, and everyone has long been used to it. But when encountering special things, Su Tiancheng will still exert the majesty of the emperor and forcibly issue an order, and what convinces everyone is that all matters that the emperor forcibly decrees and implements, the final result is very good.

In the matter of allowing women to enter the school, the emperor forcibly issued an order, and the emperor also specially arranged the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the evaluation and supervision of officials in various localities, this article should be taken as the focus. If a local official fails to enforce the law, he must be severely punished.

But Su Tiancheng also has some concessions, after all, the situation of male superiority and inferiority of women will exist after hundreds of years, and it is unlikely that he wants to change it all at once. This realization is that in terms of the size of the number of people and the rules for entering the school, men and women cannot study in the same classroom, and must be separated. Where there are no conditions, there are one or two classes dedicated to it, all of which are women.

For example, in Beijing, where the conditions are the best, there are 10 schools for children and only one for girls.

When the women's school was first established, few people sent their daughters to study, and the higher ones were officials and gentry families, and they sent their girls to the school to study, in addition, these families who entered the Great Jin Dynasty in the Western Regions and other places did not hesitate to send their girls to the women's school to study, and the court could find out that officials prevented women from studying, but they could not track down all the people.

However, this situation soon changed.

The curriculum taught in the women's school is a little different, in addition to imparting knowledge, it also teaches knowledge such as three from the four virtues, and it is focused on teaching etiquette, that is to say, the women's school is to train ladies, and the women after the school have changed a lot in words and deeds, which has led to the rapid spread of the influence of the women's school, and many ordinary people have also begun to send their own women to the school to study.

In the fifth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, all localities began to be in an emergency, mainly because the number of schools was not enough, and the number of students increased sharply, so the imperial court allocated a large amount of paper money to urge all localities to build new schools to accommodate more students.

The total population of the Great Jin Dynasty is not much and not less, after all, the good days did not start for a long time, the famine of the previous dynasty for so many years, led to a sharp decline in the population, especially in the years of the rebellion, resulting in a lot of empty villages, the statistics of the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the total population of more than 60 million, to the statistics of the end of the fourth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the total population of more than 100 million people, the increase in population, mainly in the three years from the second to the fourth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, because the conditions are good, the number of children born has increased, and the survival rate has increased greatly, In addition, the foreign population is also showing an increasing trend, which has led to a large increase in the population in just three years.

Although the population is not too large, because of the popularity of the school, because the people send their children to study in the school, because of the change in the understanding of the people, the number of schools in various places is obviously insufficient.

The changes produced by education are absolutely unprecedented, but this kind of change will not be reflected in a short period of time, but ten years later, the situation in Dajin will definitely be different, Su Tiancheng understands the truth in this, with the popularization of the school, the quality structure of the people will undergo major changes.

Su Tiancheng resolutely insisted on instilling Confucianism, the greatest role of education, while improving personal quality, people must be required to have faith, if people have lost their faith, the court will eat the bitter fruit, for example, the women's college for etiquette teaching, Su Tiancheng is very agreeable.

Education is not single, and there are also things that distress Su Tiancheng, that is, Catholicism and others have begun to spread.

Su Tiancheng is not very familiar with religion, he was a civil servant before the crossing, isolated from religion, and he knows nothing about it, but he knows that religion is also a kind of faith, but in the Central Plains, where Confucianism occupies an absolute dominance, religion is difficult to popularize, and there are not too many people who believe in religion.

In the previous dynasty, there were restrictions on religion, at least in Fuzhou County, it was not allowed to preach, only in the capital or the location of the governor's yamen, only occasionally saw missionaries, these missionaries from the Western Regions, came to the Central Plains, there was no special place, after all, the imperial court was not very supportive.

Because he is not familiar with it, Su Tiancheng is not easy to make a decision at will, not only Su Tiancheng, but also the five prime ministers of the court, are at a loss for what to do, because the foreign population has increased, especially the capital, which has become a metropolis of all races, among the outsiders, many of them used to be religious, and when they came to the capital, it was impossible to abandon their original beliefs.

In the end, the imperial court made a decision to allow missionaries to enter the Great Jin Dynasty to preach, but the places of preaching were also restricted, and prefectures and counties were not allowed to preach, and as for the places of preaching, they were allowed to exist.

In this way, in the third year of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were special missionary halls in the capital, and these missionary halls were originally a gathering place for outsiders, and later many Han people joined.

To Su Tiancheng's reassurance, there are still very few religious believers, which are insignificant compared to the total population of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the influence of Confucianism is too great and unbreakable.

Buddhism to Taoism, these are the two aspects that the imperial court can not avoid, for example, the Tang Dynasty, very revered Buddhism and Taoism, the imperial court and government are supported, the Ming court has no restrictions, the officials and the people, many people also have a pious heart to worship the Buddha, to the three years of the Great Jin Dynasty, the rapid development of the economy, the conditions are very good, monks and Taoist priests also through their own means, began to make a request to the imperial court, imploring the imperial court to pay attention to the temple and Taoism.

The five prime ministers of the DPRK and China quickly made a decision, the imperial court did not object to the common people worshipping Buddha, but would not vigorously support the development of monasteries and Taoist temples, and local governments could take out a certain amount of funds to support local temples and Taoist temples.

Su Tiancheng hesitated for a long time when issuing this holy decree, the temple and Taoist temple developed on their own, he would not ask, but asked the local government to come up with a certain amount of financial support, this is not a strong support for Buddhism and Taoism, but he finally agreed, from another aspect, Buddhism and Taoism are to cause people to be good, thinking only rely on the role of the school, to fix people's thoughts, or monotonous, after all, not everyone can enter the school, at this time, Temples and Taoist temples can play a very good role, as long as you pay attention to the aspect of investment, do not compare, do not waste extravagance, the problem will not be too big.

From beginning to end, Su Tiancheng is extremely careful, it can be described as trembling, the imperial court is responsible for guiding and educating all the people, including officials, to establish a positive and healthy atmosphere, this is not a simple matter, so education is the most important thing, after economic development, the accumulation of wealth, will inevitably lead to some money worship thoughts, the government can not use coercive means to stifle these trends of thought, only through education, so that the people have less money worship and realism.

Therefore, what Su Tiancheng pays the most attention to is not the great development of commerce and trade, these officials are worried about the DPRK and China, and what he pays the most attention to is the development of education, in any case, it is education that determines the fate of the future Dajin, once he leaves this world, what needs to be left behind, what purpose needs to be achieved, everything is shown in education.
