When demolishing the abandoned forts and road piers, Wang Zezhi found that the roads in Datong Mansion were not good.

The demolished bricks and stones in many places could not be transported, so Wang Zezhi ordered Yu You to put the road repair into the business project and conduct bidding.

On the day of Wang Zezhi's bidding, Representative Xue found Yu You and became the first businessman with Class B qualification in Datong Mansion.

The project they took was a state-level highway from Tianchengwei to Datong Province via Gaoyangwei.

The price of this highway is 800,000 taels of silver, that is, after Representative Xue repairs the road, he will get 800,000 taels of silver.

In ancient times, there were no more machinery to build roads than now, and their main method was to rely on manpower to tamp the road surface with a hammer.

As long as they have enough servants and tenants, it doesn't cost too much to do these things.

Representative Xue owns thousands of hectares of fertile land in Datong Mansion, and he also has many tenants in his hands, which means that after he takes over this project, he will make a steady profit.

After Representative Xue took over the project and began to build the road, the rest of the businessmen were boiling all at once.

They came to Datong Mansion one after another, registered in the Datong Chamber of Commerce, paid a deposit, and became businessmen with Class C qualifications.

After having the qualifications, they immediately couldn't wait to find Yu You to undertake various forts and fire road repair projects.

As a result, the matter of building the road was solved at once.

When the people were active in building roads, Wang Zezhi found that many people in the crowd were carrying children.

These children, bare-bottomed, with their tender little hands, work with the adults.

When Wang Zezhi saw these young children, his heart was sad.

He immediately ordered that all children from his family who were over six years old and under sixteen years old should be given food.

When the king had given this order, the people rushed to tell each other.

In just a few days, countless poor families sent their children to them.

As soon as the children came, new problems came, and Wang Zezhi did not have enough schools in his hands.

As a last resort, he began bidding again.

This project is to build an additional school.

After the merchants won the bid, the people in their hands knew that these schools were built for their children, and they worked harder than the other, without the supervision of their employers, and they were afraid that their children would live in schools of poor quality.

Chongzhen has been dry for a long time in the second year, and Wang Zezhi estimated that it would not rain in a short time, so he temporarily arranged for the students sent by the people to study in the open air in the school martial arts fields in various cities, so that there were not enough gentlemen to teach.

Wang Zezhi began to make a plan to recruit gentlemen, and the recruited gentlemen must study, take exams, and pass the test before they can be appointed.

The content of learning is Wang Zezhi's "Good Words of Rules", and the content of the exam has two questions.

The first question of historical theory, the examination question of historical theory is "Zhou and Tang are heavy on the outside and light on the inside, and Qin and Wei have their own arguments on the outside and heavy on the inside".

The second question is Guozheng, and the examination question of Guozheng is "the establishment of the school, which has three purposes, so it cultivates the people, cultivates talents, and revitalizes the industry."

The people cannot stand on their own feet, but must learn and teach them, so that they may have the virtue of kindness, the heart of loyalty, the skills of self-cultivation, and the necessary knowledge, which will be the same as that of all countries in the East and the West.

In the far east, there is the Han Committee (wo) slave king, this country pays special attention to the spirit of martial arts, and this pottery casts the education of the people.

Emphasizing integrity, law, financial management, and diplomacy to prepare for the appointment, this is the education that cultivates talents.

Agriculture, industry, commerce, mining, and military education were set up separately in order to enrich the country and benefit the people, so as to revitalize industrial education.

Which of the three is the main policy. ”

The first question, similar to a paper, Wang Zezhi wanted to see if any of these people had unique opinions.

The second question involves the integrity of the Ming Dynasty and the integrity of the country, and ordinary people may not be able to answer it.

Wang Zezhi divided these gentlemen into five grades, namely Mr. 1, Mr. 2, Mr. 3, Mr. Senior, and Mr. Special Grade.

He doesn't care whether these gentlemen are famous or not, whether they are children, Xiucai, or Gongsheng, they must take exams when they come to him.

The score obtained in the exam determines whether they can get to level 1 or level 3.

To be promoted to these two levels, one is to look at the qualifications of teaching, and the other is to look at the results of teaching, and these two levels can not be promoted by exams alone.

The first-level teacher has one stone and five buckets of rice grain, two or two months of silver, and the second-level teacher has three stones of rice and four months of silver, and so on.

After the plan was completed, Wang Zezhi posted a notice to inform the whole government.

As soon as this announcement came out, the gentlemen in the entire Datong Mansion instantly boiled.

As a result, there was an endless stream of people who came to sign up for the exam, and they gathered from all over Datong Prefecture.

Later, gentlemen from Taiyuan and Binh Duong also came over.

As for the gentlemen outside Shanxi, they held a wait-and-see attitude and did not move.

They thought that Wang Zezhi was not a good thing and did not dare to go to Shanxi easily.

The gentlemen in Shanxi are different, and Wang Zezhi's two questions are public.

After reading those two questions, they were tempted, and the one who could come up with these two questions would definitely not be a big and disgusting person.

In addition to these two questions, there is also the fact that the things that Wang Zezhi did have spread throughout Shanxi.

Taiyuan Mansion, which is close to the distance, has already been checked by someone.

When they saw the scene of prosperity and prosperity in Datong Mansion, the last bit of doubt disappeared.

Wang Zezhi stood on the wall of Datong City, looked at the hot scene inside and outside the city, and exhaled with emotion.

Originally, he wanted to rebel, but later found that it was unrealistic.

He changed from a bandit to an official army, and from an official army to the present.

In the middle of this, he thought about assisting Chongzhen to run this Ming Dynasty well.

He discovers that things are not as simple as he thinks.

Daming is terminally ill to the bones, and the emperor of Daming also has problems.

Even if he wants to assist Chongzhen, Chongzhen may not necessarily trust him.

It is very likely that he just said that he wanted to assist Chongzhen, and he was killed by Chongzhen the next day.

More than a month has passed since he captured the four prefectures and seven counties of Datong Prefecture.

The various policies arranged by Wang Zezhi have basically been implemented in place, but the court has not even reacted at all, and Wang Zeyi once doubted whether the Ming court had collapsed.

In the second year of Chongzhen, July 20.

"Report, Wei Yunzhong and the eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, led a hundred brocade guards from the east, and the governor Song Tongyin brought eight thousand elite horsemen, all hidden in the mountains of Jinping Mountain, and came alone from the south."

"It's time to come after all, give the order, close the city gates, and prepare for war."

"Yes."

With the king's order, the people outside the city withdrew unhurriedly and went back to their respective homes.

The sergeants who defended the city and prepared for battle were all in high spirits and ready to fight at any time.

They have been waiting for this day for a long time.

"The holy decree has arrived, and the general soldier of Shanxi has received the decree."

"Brother, your reward has arrived, hurry up and go out of the city to welcome the order."

Wei Yunzhong accompanied Wang Chengen, escorted by a hundred brocade guards, to the north gate of Datong Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Wang Chengen shouted with a smile, and as soon as Wang Chengen shouted, Wei Yunzhong also shouted loudly.

"Yo, my brother is here, Lord Wang actually came to announce the decree in person, and the last general will open the city to welcome the decree, come here, open the city gate." Wang Zezhi replied loudly at the city gate.
