Chapter 954: Chilling
“......!”
Xu Guangqi and Li Zhen both looked at Guo Dan with a strange look.
Aunt Xu hurriedly explained: "I think what my husband means is that in the end, whether this man and woman are intimate or not, before finding a female teacher, this women's college cannot be opened easily, otherwise it will be criticized." ”
I see!
Xu Guangqi nodded.
Li Zhen said: "Mrs. Guo can be the dean of this women's college." ”
Guo Dan said with a gloomy face: "I said Baiquan Jushi, what do you mean, my first son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty is to serve Mrs., if Mrs. goes to be the dean, then what am I going to do?" ”
“......!”
Li Zhen sneered: "Yes, it's me who didn't think it through." ”
"It's very inconsiderate."
Guo Dan said: "And it is not martial, I don't think Mr. Gu will have that kind of 'women see shortcomings' idea, but he is forced by etiquette and customs, he will not do this, you strive for the support of women to complete the suppression of the Southern Courtyard, this is actually very unfair, and it will also bring me a lot of trouble." ”
Li Zhen nodded again and again: "The dean is reasonable, this is what I thought was too simple. ”
Of course, he knew that this would cause trouble, but he thought that Guo Dan would definitely support him, because there was no trace of male superiority and inferiority in Guo Dan, so he came to discuss this matter with Guo Dan.
Apparently, he miscalculated.
Guo Dan really doesn't feel that men are inferior to women, but he is not idealistic, he is a realist.
I have to say that Li Zhen is really at the forefront of fashion, and he deserves to be a friend of women, and many women like to listen to his speeches.
But Guo Dan doesn't think it's time to open a women's college, this is just a lofty ideal, that's all, if you really have to do this, the risk is too high, and the profit is too low, opening a women's college, in addition to attracting more public opinion attacks, is not very much.
And on the side of charity education, if there is a particularly outstanding female genius, you can still enter Yinuo University, about this, Guo Dan has actually made arrangements for a long time, and now there are more than a dozen female students in this Nuo School, all of whom are studying in the School of Economics.
That's enough, there's really no need to lure those ladies to read.
Their imperial business combination has not fallen to the point of losing the hearts of men, and needs to rely on the support of women.
Although Yinuo Tooth Store recruits many female employees, and there are also a large number of female workers in Weihui Mansion, it is only a matter of people's livelihood.
But if we talk about the establishment of a women's college, the nature is completely different, what is the picture of this woman studying in college? Does that mean that women can also participate in the imperial examination and become officials in the court, which will cause a series of social problems.
But the Ming Dynasty obviously did not yet have this foundation.
The vast majority of people still think that women still have to abide by the three obedience and four virtues.
Aunt Xu is such an outstanding woman, from status to appearance, to demeanor, she is simply impeccable, but she is not in Kaifeng Mansion, because celebrities and celebrities from all over the world gather here, she seems very small, she has never given a speech in Kaifeng Mansion, and she has never argued with anyone.
Few of those famous people looked up to her.
Guo Dan is a very practical person, and of course he will not do anything to harm his own interests for the sake of those lofty ideals.
Besides, Guo Dan still has a lot of things to deal with now.
First of all, how is this Enke tested?
Secondly, the curriculum.
Finally, the qualifications for admission.
These are issues that need to be addressed urgently.
Regarding Enke's words, Guo Dan and Wanli also discussed, if it is according to the imperial examination model, the cost is too high, and there are too many uncertainties, Guo Dan still recommends taking the recommended method.
Based on the results of the graduation examination and the student's usual performance in school, the dean of Yinuo School directly recommended it to the emperor.
Then participate in the palace examination, which is to be taken by the emperor himself.
So that is to say, if you want to be admitted to Enke, you still have to study in Yinuo University, but Guo Dan stipulates that if it is Xiucai, then as long as you pass the entrance exam, you can study in the School of Economics of Yinuo University for free, which is also the emperor's favor to Xiucai.
Having said that, there was no economics before, and a lot of the content was brought by Guo Dan, even if you are a genius, if you don't study in the School of Economics, you won't be able to pass the exam.
Regarding this point, Guo Dan also personally talked to Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhen, and this recommendation power is given to you, but if the students perform in the palace examination, or even very embarrassed, then you can do it yourself.
Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhen both patted their chests and promised that if this happens, even once, we will directly take the blame and resign, and we will never say anything.
Because they are very opposed to the powerful controlling the imperial examinations, and often cheat, the officials are almost hereditary, and now give them a chance, of course they will cherish it.
One of the main purposes of Gu Xiancheng's coming to Yinuo Academy was to come to Enke, if he hadn't learned the news, he might not have come to Kaifeng Mansion.
He wanted to prove that the imperial examination of the imperial court had been completely corrupted.
Encore will be the fairest test, and what to test will be secondary.
As for the curriculum, the biggest change Guo Dan made this time is to add a lot of mathematics content, including of course, "Geometry Original", all colleges have to learn mathematics, and it has become a must-learn subject for Yinuo University.
Even law school has to learn a small amount of math.
Not to mention the School of Economics, it is a mathematics school, and if you fail the mathematics exam, you have to repeat the grade.
It can be seen that this Enke is not easy to test.
Everyone has to start from scratch.
As for the admission requirements?
There are three ways, to register by yourself, to pass the entrance exam, to be a graduate of Little Uncle College, and to be an outstanding student of charity education.
This seems to be a great support for Xu Jirong.
But in fact, it's not, it's just because Little Uncle College is completely plagiarized from him, from textbooks to education methods, and even the teacher is the one who digs him, in this case, of course Guo Dan will give recognition, as long as he graduates from Little Uncle College, he can directly come to Yinuo School to study.
This forms a whole system of education.
After arranging these things, Guo Dan finally went to inspect the industry and commerce of Kaifeng Prefecture.
It can be seen that the position of industry and commerce in Weihui Mansion is the last, agriculture first, colleges second, and industry and commerce third.
In addition to agriculture, the largest industry in Kaifeng Prefecture is newspapers and periodicals, and the total amount of printing in Kaifeng Prefecture every year, if not counted, is much more than the total amount of official documents, newspapers and periodicals, articles and so on all over the country.
The life daily newspaper and horse newspaper in the capital are not in the flow in Kaifeng Mansion, and they are not of the same magnitude, unless it is the emperor's edict, otherwise, they don't read the newspapers and periodicals in the capital.
The content is completely incomparable.
In Jiangnan, ninety percent of these newspapers and periodicals are also from Kaifeng Prefecture.
Paper, ink and printing-related goods are also the largest production industry in Kaifeng Province.
At the same time, it is also the first imported commodity in Kaifeng Prefecture.
For example, the paper mills built in Banzhou were all sent to Kaifeng Prefecture, and they were not sent anywhere else.
After dealing with these things, Guo Dan went home.
In the carriage that shook slightly, Guo Dan and Aunt Xu each had a newspaper in their hands and read it with relish.
"The name is Shanren, and the heart is the same as the businessman, the mouth talks about morality, and the ambition is to wear ......!"
Guo Dan suddenly said to Aunt Xu: "Madam, what is this word?" ”
Aunt Xu didn't look at it, so she said, "That word is pronounced yu!" ”
"Oh, and the ambition is to wear the kiln!"
Guo Dan scratched his head again and asked, "What does this sentence of Baiquan Monk mean?" ”
Aunt Xu glanced at Guo Dan and said, "This is a satire on those hypocrites in the world who are full of benevolence and morality, don't you even understand this?" ”
Guo Dan said confidently: "I am a child, how can I understand, the key is not my fault, it is all the fault of Baiquan Jushi, this newspaper should be a mass commodity, but he wrote so that even I, a child, can't understand it, but I think this audience is extremely limited, I have to let people inform him later, try to write it in an easy-to-understand way, otherwise, this will affect the sales of our newspapers and periodicals." ”
Aunt Xu was speechless, at this level of education, she can even make smart people in the world dance for it, but it is really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year.
......
At the same time, Shandong is also beginning to reform.
Linqing.
"Chen Shilang is here, sit down, let me tell you an interesting story."
Wang Xijue saw Chen Younian enter the house and beckoned happily.
After Chen Younian sat down, he was full of curiosity: "What's the interesting thing?" ”
Wang Xijue picked up a piece of information, trembled, and said: "This is the number of acres of land that the Liu family has just counted, Xinxing calculated, if you don't count the subsidies given by the imperial court to those tax-exempt people, even if it is exempted from half of the agricultural tax, but the result is almost the same as the previous tax income, you say this is not ridiculous!" ”
"It's ridiculous, but it's even creepy!" Chen Younian only shuddered, half of the agricultural tax was exempted, but as soon as the land was calculated, the tax collected was almost the same as inevitable, and the little Linqing had how much tax-free land was hidden, and said: "And this is not good news for the new deal!" ”
Wang Xijue sighed: "Yes! I really didn't expect that there was such a big loophole hidden in it, and in such a situation, could the treasury not be empty? But it is also conceivable that if you want to implement the new policy across the country, it will be really difficult to go to the sky! If it weren't for His Majesty's arbitrariness this time, I think this decree would definitely not even be able to get out of the Forbidden City! ”
Chen Younian said: "In recent years, all localities have asked the imperial court to reduce or reduce taxes on the grounds of natural disasters, but now it seems that this is not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster." ”
As he spoke, he was worried again: "This situation is so serious, can the Senate bring up this tax." ”
Wang Xijue groaned: "I think there should be no problem in Shandong, after all, this time His Majesty is concentrating all his forces to implement the new policy in Shandong, plus there are Luwangfu, Fengchi Group, and the headquarters of the banknote gate, and Yinuoya is here to escort, they can't resist it, but it's hard to say after that, after all, the situation in Shandong is very special." ”
At the beginning, Guo Dan chose Shandong, the reason is that the strength of businessmen in Linqing is extremely strong, Fengchi Group and the headquarters of Banknote Customs are in Linqing, which also involves many interests, they must support the emperor, with their escort, the resistance will naturally be much smaller.
But the question is beyond Shandong?
Guo Dan never thought about it at all, he took this step just to assert the imperial power, what the emperor wants to do, he will definitely be able to do it, so he is in Shandong to achieve it.
