In addition to inheriting Wang Yang's academic concept of the unity of knowledge and action, and producing many scholars who are keen on scientific exploration, the most important and most feared thing is to practice a governance structure similar to society@hui@ism@righteousness@ in the late Ming Dynasty, which could not prevent other Confucian scholars from rising up to attack it.

It is no wonder that Zhang Tao took such a fancy to this school, although their experiments were still very primitive and theoretically pretended to be the equality of all living beings in Buddhism, but at least it was a useful exploration of China's future direction, but it was later stifled by the entire gentry class. The Qing Dynasty itself was a slavery before entering the customs, and it was impossible to like this doctrine that the coat and the master were on an equal footing.

The Taizhou faction found by Jiang Tian is Luo Muyang, the owner of Huiming Study, because this person is too maverick, so Jiang Tian paid attention to it, and after some investigation, he learned that he was originally a descendant of the Taizhou faction, but his teacher was framed and unjustly died in prison.

This explains why he had those later behaviors, anyway, the world is no longer the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, and his enemies have also been hit because they are the Donglin faction.

Jiang Tian decided not to reveal his identity for the time being, he wanted to see what he was doing here, if he just learned the newly learned knowledge, and then returned to his study to be a small boss, it means that he has nothing to do but learn. And if he took the civil service exam this time, it means that this person still has the ambition to show what he has learned.

Although he bears the position of a principal, Jiang Tian's focus is not on teaching after all, he only needs to control the teaching content. As for what is the main work, according to Zhang Huan, who came to observe and study, that is, before the establishment of the new ruling bureaucratic system, all the work was Jiang Tian's main work.

For example, no one knows how this meeting should be held, so Mr. Jiang can only go into battle in person, with a group of young and clever clerks to preside, hoping to make these people quickly adapt to the new work requirements through specific work.

It is gratifying that because they know that their future destiny is tied to the New Deal, these people will be able to carry out every order carefully and meticulously when they work, implement what they can understand, and implement what they cannot understand, and deepen their understanding in the process of implementation.

Of course, the smart know that this is a good opportunity that has not been seen in a thousand years, and there is no shortage of legendary stories in Chinese history of "the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall", and the bigwigs in the court always say when they return to their hometowns: the ministers start at the end of the millennium......

But if you really look into it, are these people really at the bottom of society? Cao Di, who is full of energy, is poor, but he is also from the scholar family. Unlike other peasants, they had the privilege of being educated at that time. As for the emergence of the imperial examination, although there was a channel for the poor to rise, but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, this road was more and more controlled by the official gentry class, can the poor afford to read?

The reason why Jiang Tian's new policy is unprecedented, is because this is the first time to break the restrictions of identity class, theoretically the three religions and nine streams can change their fate through study and examination, as the connection between the government and the people, these small officials can be the first to realize the huge opportunity. After all, the poor still can't afford to support their children's education, but they have the financial resources and willingness.

This investment promotion meeting is still held in the yamen, in this single conference room, more and more the style of later generations, a group of well-dressed businessmen sit around a huge new city planning sand table, the main seat is Jiang Tian with his own followers, of course, Zhang Huan will never let go of this opportunity to observe, and also came along.

Originally, these businessmen were accustomed to Jiang Tian's approachability, and before the main lord arrived, they also greeted each other as if they had not seen old friends for many years. But when the little maid at the door reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived, the gang was stunned for a moment, and then they all knelt on the ground regardless of what they were doing.

Wu Yuan didn't feel anything, but felt that these people kneeling too unneatly, and it was really rude. But Jiang Tian could only smile bitterly, it seems that Zhang Huan, who belongs to the problem child in his eyes, is still the prince of this country after all, and his status is not the same.

After Jiang Tian and the others were all seated, the businessmen who were originally talking and laughing all stood aside with serious faces, and they didn't dare to sit down anymore. It was only after Zhang Huan forgave them that he carefully attached his ass to the chair, and it was really tiring to look at that posture.

"Your ......" Jiang Tian pointed at these people with the tip of his pen: "Our Highness is broad-minded, and this official is not a man-eating devil, do you need to be so careful?" ”

Although these people hurriedly said that they didn't dare, there were still people secretly wiping their sweat underneath. Jiang Tian had no choice but to ignore these people for now, and took a big sip of the teacup in front of him. Then he said under the surprised eyes of everyone: "I ran all morning, and I didn't have a serious hot meal at noon, so I finally got all the busy people together, so I hurried over for a meeting, and you don't have to worry about any officialdom rules, I'll eat some pastries here first." ”

Jiang Tian gulped down the snacks on the plate in front of him, of course, these things are available in front of everyone, but who dares to be presumptuous here? While everyone was still stunned, they saw a clerk pick up a whip and point to the sand table in it.

Many people have noticed this sand table from the beginning, and the smart ones have even seen a little clue from this plan, and they have also smelled business opportunities. Now that someone has come forward to explain, it has deepened their understanding of this plan, and some people's expressions can't help but become solemn.

Seeing that the introduction was almost over, Jiang Tian patted the dim sum residue on his hand, and took another sip of tea to rinse his mouth: "Everyone has heard the general content, and the people here are also the first batch of participants, how is everyone's business doing recently?" ”

Hearing him ask this, he naturally said yes in unison, and even stood up to praise Jiang Tian's rare capable ministers who rejuvenated the country and stabilized the country. Jiang Tian looked at this person, and he really knew that he was the fat man who was punished for bribery.

Jiang Tian looked at him and said with a smile: "You, you praise me so much in front of Your Highness, what you know is that your nature is difficult to move and you are used to patting sycophants, and I don't know that you still think that you have a grudge and plan to 'add color' to me in front of Your Highness!" ”

The fat man was so frightened that he almost lost his incontinence, and quickly knelt on the ground again and didn't even dare to say it. Wu Yuan almost didn't hold back his laughter next to him, thinking that you Jiang Tian has too many rebellious remarks, and you still care about this bit of killing routine, since you know so well, why can't you be low-key.

After appeasing a frightened fat man, Jiang Tiancai said again: "Actually, I don't need everyone to say that I know, your bosses don't say that they are making money every day, but they are also thriving, right?" ”

Jiang Tian's words resonated with everyone, although the commercial tax is only reduced in some specific industries, but everyone has not seen this kind of prosperity for many years, especially the good business environment here, which is also unprecedented. The apportionment of fees for all kinds of yamen alone is almost gone, and the clerks who fight the autumn breeze can't even see the shadow, and the commercial tax regulations are as much as they want, and they don't want any more, that is, this tax rate is much higher than that of the previous Ming.

These businessmen are very shrewd, don't look at the very low tax rate stipulated by the officials of the Ming Dynasty, but if you want to do business, this black and white can not be offended, and the silver of serving all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods can not be spent less, and the business is a little bigger.

Without waiting for them to sigh further, Jiang Tian continued: "But I also know that if you want to go further now, it is also difficult, right?" ”

This has spoken to the hearts of these people again, and it is not only difficult. Some chain businesses have mobilized branches across the country to support here, and the Jin merchants are moving here as a whole family, which cannot level the higher and higher operating costs.

The first difficulty is the lack of manpower. Because large-scale civil construction is also taking place in the local area, and the local farmers trust the government more, and the nature of part-time work on the construction site does not affect the farming work at home, the main local labor force is concentrated in the major construction sites. They are not very interested in processing, logistics, retail and other jobs that require long-term on-the-job work, even if these merchants have already offered their own painful prices, there is still a huge labor gap.

The second difficulty is that the supply of residential and commercial land exceeds the demand. More and more people gathered here, housing is tight, and the expansion of the operation of the house is also tight, resulting in the price of the first batch of development and construction land skyrocketing, why the Jin merchants and salt merchants are now desperate to follow Jiang Tian, is because just the value of the first batch of subscribed land has earned back several times the investment.

The third difficulty is the bottleneck of capital turnover. To say that a region is prosperous and the population has increased, in addition to the rigid demand for food, housing, cloth, medicine, etc., the demand for many spiritual civilizations will also increase, such as some of the spontaneous formation of the arts, fortune telling, and even the half-closed door, the secret door of these dried skin and meat business, most of them are gathered in the north of the city canal and the east of the city Tianhou Temple generation, the famous Nanshi Sanzhi in later generations, at this time it is still a big puddle called Nanchengwa. The spiritual world is enriched, and the flow of money is accelerated, and even the exchange of old and new coins becomes more and more urgent.

The above three problems can be regarded as the happiness of the merchants, and without a prosperous economy, it is impossible to give rise to so many problems, and these problems have really affected their business expansion. At the same time, it also affected Jiang Tian's development plan.

Hearing Jiang Tian be able to point out these fundamental problems, the businessmen who originally thought that they were going to be called to apportionment "bloodletting" gradually began to forget their original intentions. As long as Master Jiang is not too excessive, they are still very willing to honor some meager strength. But listening to the meaning of these words, it doesn't look like he is asking for money.

"You've seen it too." Jiang Tian pointed at the sand table: "The original urban areas to the east and north will be expanded, and now you all understand the truth of building roads first if you want to get rich, right?" ”

The bottom chuckled a few times, and acquiesced to this street slogan, and then saw Jiang Tian continue to pull with a whip: "The land in the south and west of the city cannot be idle, since this is far away from the road, I think it is very suitable as a residential and educational land, and of course, enough land for municipal facilities should be reserved." ”

At this time, an old man with a goatee stroked his beard, looked at the colleagues who were a little stunned around him, stood up and hugged his fists and arched his hand towards Jiang Tian: "Old man has a word that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

"Please!"

"Thank you, sir." The old man cleared his throat, pointed to the sand table with his hand and said: "The courage of the envoy is indeed amazing, but you also said just now that Tianjin Wei at this time is short of people and houses, even if we have a little money, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." According to the old foolish opinion, it is better to open this place along the road first! ”

His words spoke to the hearts of the businessmen present, since everyone saw that the land on both sides of the highway was valuable, why not develop it first, but go to the south and west of the city? Besides, people can understand building a house, what is going on with this educational land? How much land can I use to build a school hall?

Jiang Tian was not in a hurry after listening to him, and turned his head to see Zhang Huan also thinking about the sand table, so he asked with a smile: "Your Highness, what is the intention of the minister?" ”

As soon as Zhang Huan heard that he was named, he suddenly had the feeling of answering questions in class, so he didn't care about this occasion, as the prince, he had to talk less: "What does Mr. think...... Students can still understand a thing or two, but now that there is a lack of labor, why bother so much? ”

Hearing that he could understand his intentions, Jiang Tian suddenly became interested: "Oh? Tell me what I think. ”

Wu Yuan listened to this conversation and wanted to slap the table, is this the time when you master and apprentice teach by word and deed? Zhang Huan also returned unconsciously: "Mr. is taking precautions, the local city is built because of the dangerous location, and the prosperity is due to the canal, and now there is a highway running through, which can be said to be a place that extends in all directions." Mo said that it was carefully planned, even if the local officials did nothing, it would be a hundred years from now, and there would be a large number of businessmen and a prosperous population. ”

These businessmen here nodded secretly in their hearts one by one, if they didn't also see the key to this, even with Jiang Tian's incorruptible tongue, they might not be able to move them to come to invest, Jiang Tian's role is more like a catalyst to speed up this process.

However, Zhang Huan's words did not end: "Because of this, Mr. artificially accelerated the accumulation stage, which led to the disconnection between various supporting industries and the speed of development, in addition to the relocation of the population, it is more important to improve the overall level of the labor force, so that it can meet the needs of providing high-quality services for future development, so the centennial plan is education-oriented, we must start to cultivate talents for future development from now on, even if we develop the land along the road according to the opinions of all of you, it will lead to homogeneous competition and low efficiency because of the lack of professional talents." And excellent talents naturally have an excellent living environment, otherwise high salaries alone may not be able to retain people's hearts. ”

Jiang Tian had to applaud himself as a student, he could be regarded as having learned his own essence. It's just that these businessmen are ignorant, and they can clearly hear many words, but they don't know what they mean.

Regardless of whether these people understood or not, Jiang Tian continued to ask Zhang Huan: "Since you have such knowledge, what should you do if you were me?" ”

Zhang Huan thought for a while: "The plan can be made, but not in a hurry, these days with Mr. running, the students found that even the local ordinary labor who has no ability is hard to find, not to mention the skills or literacy of the bookkeeper Mr., that is simply priceless, I am afraid that now all the businesses are relying on people from other places to use, right?" ”

This time, the merchants all understood, and they all nodded with emotion. This goes back to the first question, there are not enough people, and there is not enough high-level talents who understand technology and literacy, without such talents, even if they have patents and venues, they cannot afford to open factories, build workshops, and support the façade.

Therefore, the students believe that the most important thing at the moment is to solve the population problem, and in addition to the imperial court allowing outsiders to move in, local women and children should also be mobilized! Children, on the other hand, must be educated by the firms they employ and must be allowed to find other ways to earn a living if they succeed in their studies in the future. ”

Jiang Tian showed a knowing smile at this moment: "I am very pleased that Your Highness can think so far-reaching." ”

It doesn't matter if the two of them boast about themselves, but the merchants below are chuckling in their hearts, they haven't thought about recruiting child labor, but there are only two types of local aborigines, one is the original military household, which no one knows if they can get rid of their nationality before the state promulgates a decree. The other is the surrounding peasants, but now the land contradiction is not prominent, who is willing to send their children to the city as apprentices with a few acres of thin land at home.

Besides, almost all of the child laborers in these years are lifelong, except for a few apprentices of small craftsmen who can become teachers, the child laborers of big businesses are all working here in the owner until death, nothing more than being able to become the shopkeeper of a certain façade if they mix well. According to the prince, he not only has to pay for the tuition fees of the apprentice, but also gives it away when he has achieved something?

Jiang Tian, who had long known what these people were thinking, did not break it, but continued to follow Zhang Huan's words: "The hundred-year plan is indeed education-oriented, not only the imperial court needs talents, but these businesses are now also in urgent need of all kinds of talents, the original method of teaching by word and deed is not competent for future work at all, so they want to cultivate their own professionals, but we can reverse this process, first set up a junior college, and strive to cultivate a young man with a skill in a certain field in one to two months, Those who pass the examination will be issued a graduation certificate. Then the needy firms will come to recruit, and all those who invest in education can be given priority in recruiting, or they can let the firms send their own children to train on their behalf. If you still need to go to school in the future, you can also come back with your graduation certificate, after all, our purpose is to promote industry and commerce. ”

Jiang Tian's method made Zhang Huan's eyes shine, and the short-term training of junior college students is currently enough for the start of industry and commerce. If you really need to upgrade your skills or academic qualifications, you can also have a path for further education. If there are really a few people here who can enter Beijing to take the exam, or people who are skilled in the professional field, can these businessmen really retain people? Even if you want to stay, you don't know what price to offer.

Not only did Zhang Huan understand it, but although these businessmen still didn't know why some new words, they completely understood this model. Big guy, look at me, I'll look at you, what is the most expensive in this Chinese dynasty - talent!
