Text: Chapter 526: Shinong Industry and Commerce

Lu Shanchang's words were very inflammatory, and the students in the lecture hall were excited and excited. Lu Wenwen stood behind Jiang Anyi and secretly proud, this ceremony took the lead and quietly established his authority, it will not take long for the speech just now to spread to the academies in the north and south of the river, and my reputation will inevitably be spread among the scholars, it seems that the decision to choose to come to Jimin Academy to serve as the head of the mountain is right, who in the world will know my name Lu Wenwen.

Jiang Anyi knocked on the lectern, and Mingyu's true qi was skillfully injected into the table. The table top is sycamore, the best paulownia wood has a crisp and loud sound, and is often selected as the material for making the violin, and the place where the Mingyu true qi hits is the place where the pronunciation is strong, and the chime sound is like gold and jade in the lecture hall, and the ears are shocked, and the lecture hall is quiet, and all eyes are focused on the body of Lord Thorn Shi.

Ten years ago, like all of you, I went to Zechang Academy to study; four years ago, Jiang lived in Fuluo County and founded Huangyang Academy; today I am fortunate to come to participate in the inauguration ceremony of Jimin Academy.

Jiang Anyi said with emotion: "The name of the academy is Jimin, and those who help the people also help the people." The sages once said: Reading to help the people, the purpose of reading is to cultivate one's body and help the people of the world. My benefactor, Master Shi, wrote the school motto of 'Learning, Knowledge, Sincerity, Righteousness, Self-cultivation, Family, Governance, and Peace' in Huangyang Academy, and I also gave it to you and encouraged you to share it with you. ”

Jiang Anyi, as the history of Huazhou Thorn, the highest civil official, has a reputation of unparalleled words in Shilin, these words came out of his mouth full of aura, and there was warm applause in the lecture hall, his experience has become a legend of the reader, who doesn't want to be like him, a young high-ranking official, the son of heaven is a favor, and hundreds of eyes looking at him are full of envy, desire, and expectation......

Everyone's expressions were in their eyes, Jiang Anyi smiled with satisfaction, this time he came to Jimin Academy to participate in the ceremony, he made some preparations, not only to celebrate the completion of Jimin Academy, but also to use this ceremony, through the people who participated in the ceremony, to publicize his policy of governance, to achieve the strength of the people, to win the hearts of the people to change Huazhou.

On 16 March, at the apricot blossom festival, Jiang Anyi rewarded Tu Yonghe, a Xu official of Eke County, who proposed to "take work as the basis and master Yi as the director", and awarded 600 taels of silver, and was promoted to Huzuo (from the ninth grade) under Sihu to join the army, and in addition to Tu Huzuo, seven people received rewards of 200 to 400 different silver taels. At the same time, Jiang Anyi announced the establishment of a special department of 100 workers under the Sihu Yamen, which was led by Tu Yonghe, who led the award-winning people to study how to develop 100 industries and stimulate economic growth.

Those who were rescued from the Western Regions were taken in by Tong'er and Guo Huaili, and some of them had learned some skills such as carpet weaving, tanning, and casting. If the skills of carpet weaving and tanning can be spread in Huazhou, it will involve the people's livelihood, and the government will still be able to master it well.

The attraction of people in the world is nothing more than the word fame and fortune, for most people, it is difficult to show off talents, and it is just an unattainable dream to Tian Shelang and Tianzitang at dusk, which is far better than carrying dozens of articles and going to the gambling hall to win a handful of sizes to be real. The reward of Tu Yonghe and others greatly stimulated the people of Huazhou, and Jiang Tingshi also gave a shortcut to promotion and fortune in addition to his fame in reading, whether it was Jipin

The official or six hundred taels of silver is worth putting down the means to study the economic strategy deeply. The skills of the craftsmen who were looked down upon suddenly became a hot spot in Huazhou, and when the old men in the fields were resting, they would talk about two sentences: whose carpenter craftsmanship is good, and which woman weaves the cloth densely, maybe he will be invited to be a teacher in the hundred engineering departments, and gossip about eating official meals and getting silver.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, and the voice of criticism appeared at the same time, saying that Jiang Tingshi likes to pursue profit, is curious and skillful, and takes crooked and evil ways often pops up in the teahouse tavern, Guo Huaili deliberately found Jiang Anyi and said that he should be careful. Although Jiang Anyi was afraid that his policy of revitalizing the economy would change due to rumors, after some careful consideration, he wanted to take the opportunity to talk about it at the inauguration ceremony of Jimin Academy, and to calm down the rumors through the mouths of the people who participated in the celebration, so that the people could understand his intentions.

"When you step into the academy, you are all scholars, and you can be called a 'scholar'. Scholars, things, and people. As a scholar, whether you are in the office or not, you should regard caring about national affairs as your own responsibility. ”

"But Jiang wants to remind everyone that reading books can't blindly memorize words and sentences, looking for chapters and sentences to gain fame, some readers talk about the scriptures from the beginning of the way, and ask him about the strategy of helping the people through the world but are ignorant, how can such a 'scholar' talk about helping the people? At best, he can be regarded as a pedantic person who reads to death. The court selects talents through the imperial examination, focusing on policy theories, and also examining the ability of scholars to solve problems and help the people through the world. ””

Jiang Tingshi's words made many people feel uncomfortable, is it wrong for readers to concentrate on reading, you must know that everything is inferior, only reading is high, and readers are dyed with copper smell, how can it be regarded as a noble person who only reads the books of sages, no wonder some people will say that Jiang Tingshi is a profit-seeking person. However, everyone knows that Jiang Thorn Shi is the champion of Sanyuan and the first, and the way of the imperial examination that he personally told is a golden and jade good saying, and the little unhappiness is left behind, and one by one he supports his ears, lest he miss a word, even Lu Wenwen and the lecturers of the academy also listen.

"When Jiang was studying at Zechang Academy, Deng Shanchang at that time once told me that reading requires 'erudition, interrogation, prudence, discernment, and practice', and the purpose of reading is to be practiced. Action can be a journey of thousands of miles, and understanding the situation and people's livelihood will not be on paper, and action can also be practiced. Jiang Anyi paused, his eyes showed a smug look, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said passionately: "You have heard of Jiang's family history, Jiang's family is poor, his family is strict and died early, and it is not easy for my widowed mother to pull my brother and sister. There is a golden house in the book, and it can be called smart to turn the golden house in the book into a real money. ”

Most of the students in the academy are children of poor families, and when they heard Jiang Tingshi's self-description of their family history, thinking about others and themselves, their hearts swayed and empathized, and the power of example is infinite, not to mention such a glorious and dazzling real existence, even those rich people who have no worries about food and clothing are eager to try, thinking that they can turn what is recorded in the book into silver.

"The people of the world are divided into farmers and industrialists, and those who are diligent in their studies can be knighted; Farmers are diligent in the fields and can gather crops; Work diligently and skillfully, you can be easy to eat and drink; Merchants are diligent in trade, and they can accumulate goods and goods, these four industries

If you can be good at one of them, you can support your parents, raise your wife and children, and you will have the ability to live in the world. ”

Jiang Tingshi's words caused many squires who funded the academy to stand on both sides of the podium, and they nodded in approval.

"The food we eat comes from the cultivation of the peasants, and the peasants are the foundation of the country, without the peasants, the kingdom will not exist, and we will starve to death, and the peasants will be our food and clothing." Jiang Anyi changed the topic and said: "Business can communicate with each other, so that goods can circulate and accumulate property." Many people look down on businessmen, believing that business is the last business and is mercenary. When I went up the mountain just now, I saw the name engraved on the stone wall, there are not many people who are merchants, it is because of them that you have the opportunity to be in the Jimin Academy, the year before the snow disaster on the border of Huazhou, how many merchants lost money to help the people. Last year, Huazhou's commercial tax exceeded 4 million, Huazhou's 100 industries were revitalized, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Anyi turned sideways and bowed to the people on both sides. Most of the donors who followed him up the mountain today were businessmen, and when they heard such a high evaluation of the merchants given by Lord Assassin Shi, they burst into tears of excitement one by one, and even said "I don't dare".

"Craftsmen are becoming more and more looked down upon and regarded as a lowly profession, but have you ever thought that what we wear, what we use at home, what we use at home, what we travel, what we use in our cars, what we eat, drink, live and travel can be separated from craftsmen." Jiang Anyi pointed to the table and chair, and said: "This table and chair is made by a carpenter, this step is made by a stonemason, the clothes are spun by a weaver, and the shoes under my feet are made by a shoemaker. ”

"Half a month ago, Dabeitiangou held an apricot blossom event, and rewarded some people who put forward economic strategies, and Jiang had the intention to use these people to develop hundreds of crafts to stimulate the economic growth of Huazhou again. Jiang heard that many people have different opinions, thinking that craftsmen are running lowly industries and are not of great benefit to the economy, so Jiang will make a casual analogy, take the carpet weaving in the Western Regions as an example. ”

Carpet is one of the main products of Zheng Guo, divided into carpets, tapestries, carpets and other varieties, with wool, silk thread as raw materials, weaving firmly, soft blanket surface, bright colors, fine craftsmanship, colorful patterns, even the rich and noble people love, Xin Fei is a lover, came to the back house of Huiye Mansion to add a lot of carpets.

"The price of these carpets is the same as gold, and the price of silk and brocade, but the raw materials are just wool and silk thread, once this process is mastered by Huazhou, it can make millions of taels of silver every year, and correspondingly drive the development of animal husbandry, and animal husbandry can also promote the cultivation of crops, during this period, how many people can participate in it, and the price of wages will increase naturally, and there will be more people who come to Huazhou to make a living, and the crowd will drive all industries, so as to form a smooth cycle, and the improvement of craftsman skills will change our lives."

Although the words of Jiang Thorn History are short, but the content of the expression has made many people's eyes glow, and many people have a bright future for Huazhou in front of their eyes.

"Shinong, industry and commerce are the foundation of the country. To use a person as an analogy, a soldier is like a head, giving orders and directing the way forward; The farmer is the torso, which supports the body; Industry and commerce are hands and feet, and it depends on them to move forward. The prosperity of Huazhou and Zhengguo is inseparable from the full cooperation of Shinong industry and commerce, and no one can do without it. ”

The applause lasted for a long time, and Jiang Tingshi's speech at the inauguration ceremony of Jimin Academy spread to all directions with the rolling spring thunder, and the spring tide on the land of Huazhou, which had been in Fengle for 17 years, was surging and full of vitality. ()
