Chapter 0772 - Isn't It Enough to Grab a Few More?

The inspection department and the arrest guards of each arrest station have the duty of arresting and arresting thieves, as well as the duty of maintaining public order in Bianjing City.

Under their noses, there is such a cancer lurking, and they have an unshirkable responsibility.

It must be known that in the territory of Bianjing City, there is a 500-step fishing place, densely packed all over Bianjing City.

In this case, there are still mud people who cause trouble in Bianjing City, which shows how negligent they are.

As long as they are serious, cautious, and hard-working, the mud people will not be arrogant.

Of course, it's not all their fault.

The root of the problem is still in the system of the Great Song Dynasty.

The security of Bianjing City can be managed by the Inspection Division, Kaifeng Prefecture, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.

The three yamen have conflicted in terms of authority.

They always think that someone will do the dirty work for them, so they don't do anything.

Passing the buck and relying on each other gives the wicked an opportunity.

In addition, there are many powerful people in Bianjing City, and there are many imperial historians.

The prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, who is an important minister in the court, can still manage some people.

But the officials of the Five Cities Terracotta Division and the Inspection Department don't have much status in the court.

Therefore, the magnates in Bianjing City oppressed the good and did misdeeds, and the children of the gentlemen ran into trouble, and they didn't dare to care.

The Imperial Historian always likes to accuse this and accuse that, and always likes to go beyond the legal process to intervene in some things in order to show his noble identity.

In this way, the officials and soldiers who manage public security in Bianjing City do not care about anything other than the management of the people.

The top and bottom believe in the kind of mind that does more and makes more mistakes, and does less and makes fewer mistakes.

Those wicked people who are in trouble naturally grasp their thoughts and continue to grow.

It ended up being a big scourge.

The root of this matter is still in the system, and it is still a literary system.

Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen were not ready, so even if they knew where the root of this matter was, no one spoke.

After Zhao Zhen dealt with the matter, he didn't stay in the Kou Mansion for long and returned to the palace.

Lu Yijian and the three also followed Zhao Zhen into the palace.

The mud people, on the way back to the palace of Zhao Zhen, were escorted to the place where they were tortured to be punished, and Zhao Zhen was not willing to stay longer for a moment for such beasts.

The imperial court swept away the mud people in Bianjing City in one go, and in addition to a great harm to the people of Bianjing City, the people applauded.

The scholar was frightened by the brutal execution scene.

They thought that Zhao Zhen dealt with those mud people to show them.

It's killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.

Their desire to make trouble was extinguished in an instant, and they didn't even dare to go to the outing party in groups of three or five, for fear of being remembered by the imperial court.

Those scholars who denounced Kou Ji in front of the gate of Kou Mansion died in vain.

No one cried out for them, and no one sought justice for them.

The scholars made trouble because of the simple characters, and because of a military incident to eliminate evil, they completely died down.

After Kou Ji and Zhao Zhen knew about this, they were also stunned for a long time.

"It's really intentional to plant flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows...... I thought that the bones of the reader were not good, but I didn't expect that I was still afraid of death......"

After listening to Lu Ming's report, Kou Ji said these words with a smile, and then stopped paying attention to the matter.

After Zhao Zhen finished the punishment of the mud people, he decisively issued an order to open up Mongolian education in the world, and recruit school-age children from all over the world to study in Mongolia.

In particular, a few points were stated.

First, all roads, prefectures, prefectures, counties, townships, and villages must set up Mongolian schools. The Mongolian school building was built at the expense of the imperial court.

Second, to recruit scholars from all over the world to serve as Mr. Mengxue, one should be bound, distributed by the imperial court, and the minimum will not be less than 40 times.

Third, all Mongolian children of school age in the world can enter Mongolian school, and the minimum age is six years old, and there is no upper limit. Mengtong does not need to pay a bundle to his husband during his study, and the books during Mengtong's study period are distributed by the imperial court.

Fourth, local governments must cooperate with the establishment of Mongolian schools in various localities, and must supervise the enrollment of Mongolian children, which is linked to political performance. Mongolian children in the jurisdiction whose enrollment rate exceeds 50 percent are considered to be qualified, and those who exceed 80 percent will be promoted to three levels after the expiration of their three-year term; Those whose enrollment rate is less than 50 percent are unqualified and demoted, and those who are less than 30 percent are dismissed from office.

Fifth, scholars can participate in the imperial court scientific examination during their tenure as Mr. Mengxue. For five years, exempt from the township test, for ten years, exempt from the examination, for fifteen years, give the same Jinshi background, and can enter the office.

Zhao Zhen wrote the above five points in great detail in his will, and it was clear to the world.

After the people learned about this, their first reaction was not excitement, but questioning.

They questioned whether the officials were crazy.

Reading is also a very expensive thing in the Great Song Dynasty.

The government promoted Mongolian education, and paid most of the expenses of the Mongolian children when they were studying, and the amount of money to be spent was an immeasurable amount.

Some people made a rough estimate and found that the taxes he paid every year were less than half of what the court spent on his son's education.

Such a loss-making deal?

Can officials do it?

Can the imperial court do it?

Can the Manchu civil and military agree?

Faced with the doubts of the people, the response of the imperial court was simple.

Tell the people with practical actions.

The official family is capable.

The court is capable.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to disagree.

As Zhao Zhen's will reached the locality, the local government immediately gathered craftsmen and began to build Mengxue houses in counties, townships, and villages.

Because Lu Yijian and the three of them had already made preparations, Yiying's money was also allocated to the branches of Yizizi shops in various places.

After getting Zhao Zhen's will, the local governments immediately began to act.

There are few people who are unwilling to use the money of the court to do good deeds, gain fame, and make political achievements.

Even if there were those who had brain diseases and were working against the imperial court, after seeing the secret decree given to them by Zhao Zhen, they also acted quickly.

Zhao Zhen did not force the Mengtong children to enroll in school in the will of the Ming Dynasty, but in the secret decree to the officials, his attitude was extremely tough.

It can be summed up in one sentence.

Even if you put down your shelves and go to the people's homes to invite me in person, you have to include Mengtong in Mengxue. If the enrollment rate is not up to par, don't think about promotion in this life, I said!

Those who delay it, or do it against the court, are waiting to die.

The dismissal of the official is just a statement to the people, and I will really let you people who don't help me leave in peace?

……

Such tough words, in the past, if Zhao Zhen dared to say it, the local officials would definitely make a fuss and encourage the scholars to oppose Zhao Zhen.

But now, they can only follow Zhao Zhen's orders.

Zhao Zhen made a lot of money and promised his identity as a fellow jinshi, and bought more than half of the world's scholars.

It is impossible for them to incite the scholars to make trouble.

It is impossible for them to collude with local tycoons to make trouble together.

Because most of the scholars are from local wealthy families or wealthy families.

They can't pass the Jinshi exam, and their careers are hopeless, so they can only live idle in the countryside.

Now that the imperial court has given them a chance to be a leader, why don't they tip their heads and drill into it?

The local tycoons and wealthy families are eager to stuff all the scholars in their families who can't pass the Jinshi exam into Mengxue, which will accompany the magistrates to make trouble.

Unless the brain is kicked by a donkey.

As for the fifteen years stipulated by the imperial court, no one cares.

Every year, during the scientific examination, candidates in their forties and fifties abound.

In order to participate in scientific examinations and become officials, they can delay for twenty or thirty years, or even a lifetime.

What is fifteen years?

In the families of the local rich and powerful, who does not have three or five children?

As long as there is one who can mix up the official body, it is blood earning.

In the era when the industrial and commercial class was distinct, officials were definitely at the top of the food chain.

The yearning for official positions of the local tycoon and the wealthy far exceeds everything else.

Zhao Zhen drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle with one move, and wiped out the things that the local authorities relied on.

Not only could the magistrates not rely on the scholars to oppose the imperial court, but they also had to quickly set up a Mongolian school under the supervision of the scholars.

In this way, the efficiency of the magistrate's work is naturally high.

Seeing that the school building of the local Mengxue is being built, Mr. Mengxue is constantly recruiting.

The people finally believed in Zhao Zhen's will.

I believe that Zhao Zhen really wants to promote Mongolian learning, and I believe that Zhao Zhen is really willing to spend money to study for their children.

When the people found out about this, they rejoiced.

Zhao Zhen took advantage of this to gain fame, and the people sent Zhao Zhen to his home.

The reputation of Zhao Zhen Shengjun has spread all over the world.

When the people mentioned him, they had already faintly ranked him with Emperor Qin and Han Wu.

The reason why the people dared to praise Zhao Zhen so much was because Zhao Zhen really did something that was enough to be called an emperor through the ages.

After all, even if it was the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, he did not dare to say that he would open Mengxue in the world, include school-age Mengxue in Mengxue, and bear the most important part of the education cost.

While praising Zhao Zhen, the people also began to spare no effort to help the magistrates build the Mongolian school together.

Those who can contribute contribute, and those who can't, even if they are frugal, or even if they are hungry, they must contribute a piece of food to go out.

In later generations, when reading was already common, reading was still a first-class event.

Not to mention in this era of high status for scholars.

No one likes to live a hard life, and no one likes to be a tenant.

There is a low-cost opportunity to turn over in front of us, and nine out of nine people will not refuse.

There is a saying that everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high.

If everyone works hard and thinks in one place, the speed of doing things will be much faster.

The first Mengxue to rise from the ground is Ruian Mengxue.

Since Ryan Mengxue is a part of the Wenchang Academy, there is a complete school building and a team of Mr. Mengxue, so there is no need to make those preparations in advance.

It was enough for the imperial court to separate the Ruian Mengxue from the Wenchang Academy and incorporate it into the new education system implemented by the imperial court.

It is precisely because of this that Ryan Monology is not representative.

The second Mengxue that has risen from the ground is the Mengxue in Mahang Street, Bianjing City.

It's not very representative.

Because Mengxue's school building was donated by Lu Yijian, Mr. Mengxue is a disciple of Lu's house.

The third is the North Royal Street Mengxue, which is also not representative, and the school building was donated by Li Zhaoliang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Mr. Mengxue is also the doorman of the Li Mansion.

Since then, dozens of Mongolian schools have sprung up, almost all of them are school buildings donated by the powerful, and the people who go out are Mr.

The most representative is the Mengxue in Xiwazi City.

Although the school building was also donated, it had little to do with the dignitaries.

It was donated by a Qinchuan businessman named Tang Wan.

With the generosity of a group of wealthy families and businessmen, 34 Mengxue schools inside and outside Bianjing City were completed in just seven days, and Mr. Mengxue was also fully assembled.

Almost all of them are donated.

After the establishment of the thirty-four Mongolian schools in Bianjing.

Vientiane House held a grand sale.

The things for sale are the newly established ink boards, lime pens, and plaster brushes that can be used by Mengxue.

In order to ensure that the things learned by Mengxue are not taken by one family, strange goods can be lived.

So the above three things were sold to more than forty merchants together.

And it's also different businessmen from all over the world.

After the sale was completed, the money obtained was donated to the imperial court.

After the sale was completed, the merchants also obtained the technology of making lime pens.

Ink boards and plaster brushes don't have much technical content, basically take a look, use it, and observe it a little to know how to do it.

The key is the lime pen.

The technology was provided by Koji, but Koji did not keep it in his own hands for profit.

The lime pen was about to be distributed throughout the Great Song Dynasty, and Kou Fu did not have the manpower and material resources to spread it.

If you borrow official channels, you can't get it, so it's better to spread it.

Merchants can make some meager profits from the imperial court, and they are naturally full of motivation, and they will definitely spare no effort to sell them quickly to various Mongolian schools.

If the imperial court allocates this thing, it will not only cost manpower and material resources, but also be very troublesome.

What's more, it is unprofitable and prone to passive slacking.

Now it is possible to quickly transfer this thing with the help of the hands of merchants, and there is no reason for the imperial court to do it itself.

After the sale of Vientiane House is over.

Zhao Zhen summoned all the people in the palace who had donated school buildings and money for the establishment of Mengxue.

The officials went in as appropriate.

The merchants gave some convenience as appropriate.

Everyone is satisfied, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

Subsequently, the matter of Nameng Tong's admission to Mongolia was handed over to the Kaifeng Prefecture and the Ministry of Rites to do.

After the previous bloody shock, the people of Kaifeng Mansion and the Ministry of Rites handled things very neatly.

Some of them rushed to various Mongolian schools to help those Mongolian children who took the initiative to enroll in school register and make a register, and some went door-to-door to find those Mongolian children of school age.

With the joint efforts of the two major yamen, nearly eighty percent of the Mengtong children in Bianjing City have entered the Mongolian school.

The reason why it did not reach 10% is because some of these wealthy families do not need to go to Mengxue to study.

Because they have private schools and home schools,

The husband in their family is a person who reads poetry and books, and there is no need to go to Mengxue to study.

Beiyu Street Mengxue.

Zhao Zhen led a few henchmen and important ministers to stand outside the school building, and listened to the Mongolian children in the school building stumbling to follow Mr. Mengxue to read, and sighed sincerely, "I heard Kaifeng Mansion Yin say that eighty percent of the Mongolian children in Bianjing City have entered the Mongolian school." The remaining 20 percent are the children of officials and merchants, who have private education and do not need to go to Mongolia.

In this way, almost all the Mengzi children in Bianjing City have begun to read.

I am very relieved. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he pursed his lips and did not speak.

In Zhao Zhen's eyes, almost all the Mengtong children in Bianjing City have begun to read and write, but in his eyes, less than sixty percent.

Why is there such a big gap?

The main problem is for men and women.

Kou Ji accompanied Zhao Zhen to inspect all the Mongolian schools in Bianjing City, but did not see a single girl.

In every Mongolian school, there are boys, and there is no exception.

It seems that everyone in Bianjing City believes that girls are not counted among the Mengtongs.

Although the Great Song Dynasty did not have the distorted saying that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', it seems that the government and the opposition do not attach importance to women's education.

Except for large families, few ordinary people will let women study.

If you have the opportunity to study, you don't seem to think about girls.

Kou Ji had the heart to correct the matter, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak.

Because he considered that if he opened his mouth to correct the matter, few people in the government and the opposition would understand his feelings, and the same was true for the whole world.

Not only are few people accept his affection, but he will even be looked down upon for this, and even educated to be a man.

Although Zhao Zhen generously promoted Mongolian learning all over the world.

However, educational resources are very limited.

As the will to promote Mongolian learning spread, money flowed out like water.

It costs money to build a school building, it costs money to hire a gentleman, and it costs money to prepare books.

All the fees, not much in a single transaction.

But when it comes together, it's a huge hole.

The imperial court had to pay a lot of money to fill it.

At present, the school buildings in Bianjing City have been completed, but the school buildings in various places are still under construction.

A large part of the money that was previously brought back from Cochin was distributed to the local government and became a special fund for the construction of the school building.

But it's still not enough.

The number of Mongolian school buildings to be built that was fed back from all over the country was far more than the imperial court initially estimated.

Zhao Zhen released all the words of promoting Mengxue to the whole world, so it was naturally impossible to slap himself in the face, so he added a large amount of money.

Including the rest of the money that Jiaozhi got back, as well as some of Zhao Zhen's own private money.

Although Zhao Zhen's private money is very rich, he can't stand it.

Because then there was Mr. Mengxue's shackles and the money for books to be spent.

Zhao Zhen's private money is estimated to be paid seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Therefore, so far, all the education funds that can be allocated are only enough for boys to go to school.

If Kou Ji had proposed that girls be included in Mongolian education, it would have cost about 40 percent more on education.

When the time comes, a large sum of money in the treasury will be moved.

The Manchu civil and military will definitely have complaints.

Kou Ji felt that it would take a certain amount of time for girls to enter school, and they needed to be guided and cultivated, and they couldn't be in a hurry, so they didn't speak.

Kou Ji closed his mouth and didn't speak, which didn't mean that others didn't speak.

After Zhao Zhen's exclamation landed, Lu Yijian sincerely admired: "The official family's move is a thousand years old, even if it is the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, he can't do such a feat as the official family." ”

Lu Yijian's words are not sycophants, but truthful words.

Because now everyone in the Great Song Dynasty thinks so.

Wang Zeng and Zhang Zhibai, after Lu Yijian spoke, nodded their heads in agreement with Lu Yijian's words.

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "If I can make a thousand achievements, it is also because of the help of good ministers. In this thousand years of achievements, there is a credit to me, and there is also a credit to all Aiqing. ”

When Lu Yijian heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but he said very humbly: "The ministers don't dare to take credit, it's all because the officials are well governed." ”

Zhao Zhen laughed, received Lu Yijian's words, and didn't say anything more.

The group inspected the Mengxue in Beiyu Street, and after leaving the Mengxue in Beiyu Street, Zhao Zhen stood at the door of the Mengxue school building, and said earnestly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the promotion of Mengxue is just beginning, and our monarchs and ministers have a long way to go, and we still need to move forward cautiously step by step." ”

Zhao Zhen retracted his gaze, looked around at the ministers and said: "Now that Mengxue has just begun to be implemented, the money spent is as much as tens of millions, and I am afraid it will be more in the future."

I had said before that this time I would not move a penny in the treasury to promote Mongolian learning.

If you Aiqing can have a way to help me earn money for the promotion of Mengxue without moving the money in the treasury? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yijian and the others had different faces.

But without exception, they all showed embarrassment.

If Zhao Zhen wants to find a way to make one or two million, they have a way.

But one or two million yuan is a drop in the bucket for the promotion of Mongolian studies, and after throwing it in, it can't make many waves.

Only tens of millions, or even tens of thousands, of money can set off big waves.

The ministers hesitated for a long time.

Lu Yijian suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "The official family, promoting Mongolian learning, is doing things for the people, since it is doing things for the people, how can it be possible not to use the money from the treasury."

The minister thought that he could use the money of the state treasury when necessary. ”

Previously, Zhao Zhen threatened that the money in the treasury was purely saved to reduce the resistance to the promotion of Mongolian learning.

Nowadays, there is not much resistance to the smooth promotion of Mengxue.

Instead of resistance, all kinds of accolades followed.

Lu Yijian and the others had already felt the benefits of promoting Mengxue's reputation, so it was naturally impossible to stare at Zhao Zhen's words about not moving the treasury money.

Lu Yijian relented on behalf of Wenchen, but Zhao Zhen did not mean to listen.

Zhao Zhen said in a deep voice: "Money is needed to build official roads, build embankments, provide disaster relief, distribute military salaries, and distribute money. The treasury also had to keep some money in case it was needed.

There is a huge gap in the money needed to promote Mongolian education, and if there is a hole in the state treasury, it will affect the state affairs. ”

When Lu Yijian and the others heard this, they were slightly stunned.

Lu Yijian gritted his teeth and said: "The ministers can keep an eye on these state affairs and try to squeeze out some money to promote Mongolian learning." ”

"No!"

Zhao Zhen decisively refused.

Wang Zeng suddenly spoke: "The minister remembers that Kou Shumi said before that he has a way to get money to promote Mongolian learning. ”

What Koji's method is, it is well known.

Wang Zeng was just embarrassed to say the word 'robbery' blatantly.

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but did not speak.

Lu Yijian said directly: "The money obtained from Jiaozhi is obviously not enough to support the promotion of Mengxue. So Koji's approach didn't work. ”

"Why doesn't it work?"

Kou Ji couldn't help but speak, and said with a strange expression.

Zhao Zhen laughed, "I know, the fourth brother must have a way." Tell me about it. ”

Kou Ji said nonchalantly: "One is not enough, isn't it enough to grab a few more?" ”
