Chapter 974: The Queen Mother 14
"Niangniang is open-minded and very human. Father-in-law Xu bent down and admired sincerely.
Anyone who is in a position will almost eliminate dissidents, he originally thought that Jiang Chan would completely eliminate the Zuo Xiang line, but he didn't expect Jiang Chan to provide Han Xiang with another path.
"The master who is currently teaching, let's first send skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and pay attention to the seedlings at any time. After saying a few words lightly, Jiang Chan once again buried his head in the compromise.
In the past six months, the officials have also been much more pragmatic, and the twists and turns are also in accordance with the template given by Jiang Chan, what things are explained clearly in the first two or three sentences, and then explained in detail, which also improves Jiang Chan's work efficiency.
Soon, the excerpts in various places are basically this template, which also makes everyone focus more on dealing with government affairs, rather than focusing on the accumulation of rhetoric.
As the first powerful person in front of the Queen Mother, Father-in-law Xu is also highly respected when he goes out. Although he didn't understand why Father-in-law Xu came to his house, Han Xiang still treated Father-in-law Xu respectfully.
Although he was also muttering in his heart, he was no longer an official in the court, and it stands to reason that the ups and downs in the court should not involve him.
Gonggong Xu shook off the dust, "The Donglai Academy built by Niangniang is about to be completed soon, and the academy is lacking a mountain chief, Mr. Han is full of peach and plums all over the world, he can be called a generation of Confucianism, and he is the best candidate for the head of the academy." ”
Han Xiang frowned: "The old man is old, how important the position of the mountain chief is, the old man is powerless." ”
Father-in-law Xu hid a needle in his face: "Mr. Han is too modest, you are old and strong, you should be responsible! The Queen Mother directly named Mr. Han, and the mountain chief should not live up to the Queen Mother's hard work." ”
Having said that, Han Xiang didn't want to go. He wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of this queen mother.
In the past six months, he has been at home for half a year, and he has not blocked the news outside. For example, the defeat of Xiliang was defeated, the turmoil in Lingnan subsided, and the impact of the locust plague in the eastern counties was minimized.
Behind everything is the shadow of the Queen Mother, which also makes Han Xiang more and more unable to see through her. To be honest, since he resigned, he originally thought that the left prime minister's line was going to usher in a big purge, after all, which superior person did not exclude dissidents after taking office?
No one expected that this queen mother would be calm, although at the beginning of her reign, she was iron-blooded, and she was robbed and beheaded. But after this series of iron-blooded methods, she began the Huairou strategy again.
Thinking of this, Han Xiang couldn't help but sigh, even if it was Huairou, she could tolerate other factions bouncing under her nose, how big of a mind did she have to be?
But from Jiang Chan's point of view, it was not easy to cultivate a talent in the feudal era. Besides, is it true that the left prime minister is all a smuggler? Not necessarily, there are also people who have real talent and real learning.
The previous attacks she had were all moths in the court, and such a person should naturally be removed from the ranks of officials. As for the other officials, if they keep to themselves, Jiang Chan doesn't mind giving them a chance.
Besides, it's easy to kill people, but this is the lowest strategy, and if you can get the hearts of other families, let them do their best, that's the best.
"Dad, do you really want to be the head of this academy? My son heard that this academy does not only teach the Four Books and the Five Classics, but almost everything, and the masters who teach are currently skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Engineering. ”
"If you go to serve as the mountain chief of Donglai Academy, won't it make everyone laugh if you spread it?" Han Yao's face was full of disapproval, and he secretly hated the Queen Mother's insidious move.
His father, before he resigned, was a dignified left-hand minister, and he was also a great Confucian in terms of learning, but now he has been reduced to being the head of a lower ninth-rate college, can he feel better?
Yes, in Han Yao's heart, the academy advocated by the Queen Mother to establish, and the subjects offered were purely low-level. He has always boasted of his high school, believing that reading is the best, and the rest of the subjects are not on the table.
"What can I do then? If I don't go, I have to go, for my father to go to see the situation first, and if it really doesn't work, I will call it sick leave. Han Xiang is also bald, and he can't return the above meaning at all.
"That's all it can be. Han Yao was helpless, has their family become a thorn in the side of the Queen Mother? His father has resigned from the official position, and he is no longer involved in the affairs of the court, and the Queen Mother is still here.
As soon as Jiang Chan made a move now, it was all the attention, and besides, this Donglai Academy was built by her, which attracted everyone's attention.
On this day, the college was officially completed, and the enrollment of students officially began. There are also quite a few subjects on offer, ranging from hydrology and geography to farm chores.
Only those who have a skill can be taught in the college, and if there is a subject that students are interested in, the college will also contact the corresponding master to focus on training.
As for the subset of the Four Books and the Five Classics, which should have been greatly valued, they only accounted for a part of the academy. The outside world has mixed opinions about this situation in the college.
Everyone agreed that Donglai Academy would not be able to go for long, but is this really the case? Jiang Chan smiled slightly, this is her reserve for selecting talents, and in the future, everyone can pass on this knowledge to the outside world, and one day, the spark can start a prairie fire.
She never felt that reading was useless, but sometimes being able to read doesn't mean that she can do practical things. You see that many talents throughout the ages have almost all been industrious, and to be honest, Jiang Chan really doesn't look down on these people.
What if one day, all the people have a skill, and they no longer have to dig in the field to eat and rely on the sky to eat, how great would it be?
No matter what the situation in the outside world is, the enrollment of Donglai Academy is very hot, after all, the main slogan is to teach without class. Especially in the capital, almost every family has sent their own children to attend classes at the academy.
This is the academy that the Queen Mother advocated opening, and the children of the officials did not come, so didn't Chengxin go against the Queen Mother? So no matter what, everyone sent their own children over.
As for whether it is a sister-in-law or a concubine, it depends on the thoughts of each family.
On the other side of the academy, Jiang Chan also opened a women's academy. All the hired are well-known female masters, which is also the place where everyone is most criticized, no one has ever opened a women's academy, and everyone thinks that women are not talented and moral.
As soon as this academy opened, none of the official eunuchs signed up, and all the girls who came were from civilian families. Everyone learns all kinds of skills here, reads and learns calligraphy, is in charge of arithmetic, behaves in the world, and so on.
