Liu Juntao finished deploying the affairs of the military department, and the ministers of the other ministries also reported their respective affairs to Liu Juntao.

Among them, the reports of Liu Zi'an, Minister of Intelligence, and Tang Yu, Minister of Commerce, are the most important, after all, Liu Zi'an's Intelligence Department is concerned about the movements of the DPRK and China, and Tang Yu's Ministry of Commerce is also deploying in various parts of Gyeonggi, and the affairs of these two departments are related to the future development trend of Shandong Town.

"Commander-in-chief, now the lowly has deployed the manpower of the Ministry of Intelligence's Fangfang Division and the Chaotang Division to deal with the turmoil in the DPRK and China, and the lowly post has also communicated with Huang Wu, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, and now the manpower of the Intelligence Department has kept in touch with the Jinyiwei of the Beizhen Fusi, and it is already possible to communicate with each other on some news!"

Speaking of this, Liu Juntao asked, "By the way, why didn't I see Commander Huang after I came back?" ”

Liu Zi'an said with a smile: "The general town is like this, because now His Majesty has made a move against Commander Huang, so Commander Huang is ready to resign, it is said that Commander Huang has already made a complaint to the court, but now there is no reply from the court and His Majesty." In addition, Commander Huang was worried about his own safety, so he discussed with the lowly position and went to live in Yushan Town. ”

Liu Juntao nodded and said: "That's fine, although the contact between the Intelligence Department and the Beizhen Fusi will become inconvenient in the future, but it can be regarded as a line, and it will depend on the intelligence department's own ability in the future!" ”

Liu Zi'an also nodded.

Then, Liu Juntao said to Liu Zi'an: "After a few days, the imperial court will approve the resignation of Commander Huang, so I will invite Commander Huang over, and the town is ready to add a new department in the shogunate to carry out external investigations, arrests, assassinations and other matters!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Liu Juntao is preparing to establish a "little brocade guard" in Shandong Town!

Liu Juntao looked at the appearance of everyone, couldn't help but smile, and said: "The department that this town is going to establish is external, specifically for foreign tribes such as Warat and Tatar, you can rest assured!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Zi'an was thoughtful.

Then, Tang Yu also talked about the situation of the Ministry of Commerce.

At this time, the Ministry of Commerce's stores and plans in various parts of Gyeonggi are all on the right track, and if nothing else, most of the industries will start to make a profit after the beginning of spring next year!

Liu Juntao is also very satisfied with this.

Then, Zhang Yuqing, Minister of Praise and Painting, and Guo Yongzhong, Minister of Civil Affairs, also made reports, and Liu Juntao also expressed satisfaction with their work.

Then, Lan Siqi, the head of the Central Department, briefly reported all the affairs handled by the Central Department during Liu Juntao's trip to the north, so that Liu Juntao could understand the affairs during this period.

In the end, Deputy Chief Soldier Hu Dexing also talked about some of the decisions he made during this time, and Liu Juntao also recognized them all.

At this time, the affairs of the shogunate have been reported, and Liu Juntao said to everyone: "This time I went north to Beijing, although our Shandong town has gained a lot of talents, but the hardships paid in it, I think you are also clear, so this town decided to establish a new academy in various prefectures and counties in Shandong!" ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, after all, at this time, the imperial court had built a lot of academies in various places, which could fully meet the people's education, of course, most of them were private school education formed spontaneously by the people.

Guo Yongzhong said: "Zongzhen, is this necessary? We are a military town, even the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce were set up to strengthen the army, we can't even do the things of teaching and educating people for the imperial court, right? ”

"Isn't teaching and educating people for the sake of strengthening the army?"

Liu Juntao said: "The academies mentioned in this town are not those that only teach the Four Books and the Five Classics and the articles of the sages. The seowon to be established in this town is divided into two categories! ”

"One is the Military Academy, which specializes in teaching military matters, and the town has decided to establish two. One was set up in Yushan Town, named Yushan Yanwutang, which specializes in training generals and aspiring soldiers at all levels in our Shandong Town; The other is set up in the capital city of Jinan, called Shandong Military Academy, this academy is specially designed to face people with lofty ideals all over the world, teaching knowledge such as arranging troops, as well as military building, praise and painting knowledge, etc., everything related to the military is knowledge, will be taught here. ”

"All students who have successfully graduated from the Shandong Military Academy must go to the various departments of Shandong Town to experience two years, and after the completion of two years, they can enter the Yushan Yanwu Hall for further study, and after completing their studies, they can take up corresponding official positions in the various departments of our Shandong Town according to their specific talents!"

Hearing this, everyone agreed very much.

At this time, everyone still has the idea that thousands of troops are easy to obtain, and a general is hard to find, once Liu Juntao's idea is implemented, it can allow Shandong Town to obtain a steady stream of generals, although it cannot be compared with those famous generals, but Shandong Town can rely on these two military academies to obtain a large number of high-quality grassroots generals!

At this time, everyone present was a smart person, and after Liu Juntao finished speaking, he saw this, so he all actively agreed.

"These two academies are all assigned to the military department, and the conscription department is responsible for the preparation, and the instructors and gentlemen required by the academies are temporarily appointed by the generals and capable soldiers in the various ministries, and after a few years, they will be filled by the outstanding graduates of the two academies!"

Xiang Qun, the head of the military department, and Cheng Wulei, the director of the conscription department, both received orders immediately.

Then, Liu Juntao said: "In addition, the town is also preparing to establish a compulsory education system in Shandong, establish a primary school in each county, the county's 20 years old, 10 years old and above literate men can sign up for admission, the school in addition to teaching everyone literacy and morality, will also teach astronomy, geography, arithmetic, history, current politics, etc., are practical learning, the school system is three years!" ”

"In each prefecture, two secondary schools should be established, and all students who have completed three years of primary school and graduated successfully can enter the secondary school in the prefecture where they live; One of the secondary schools continued to teach practical subjects such as astronomy, geography, arithmetic, history, and current politics, but they were much more esoteric than those taught in primary schools. In the other school, agriculture, business, and engineering are taught. ”

Liu Juntao paused and continued: "These students who have graduated from primary school are free to choose two types of secondary schools for further study. ”

"In the end, the town is ready to establish two universities in the capital of Jinan, which is commonly known as the academy, which is still one that teaches astronomy, geography, arithmetic, history, current politics and other practical studies, and the other teaches agriculture, business, engineering and other studies, plus Shandong Military Academy, we will have three universities in Jinan at that time!"

At this time, Guo Yongzhong said: "I'm afraid that the way to the imperial examination is still the first choice of the people, and when the time comes, we will spend a lot of money and build many schools, but no one will come to learn!" ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Don't worry! Our schools not only do not have to pay any fees for admission, but also include food and accommodation, whether it is primary school, middle school or university, as long as they graduate successfully, they can arrange livelihoods in various places in our Yushan Town and Shandong Town according to their personal abilities and talents, even if they go to the military department to join the army, as long as they have a diploma from primary school, middle school or university, they can be given priority admission, and then our schools must be rushing! ”

Hearing this, Lan Siqi also said with a smile: "Zongzhen is right, after all, the scholars who can take the road of the imperial examination are a minority, and most of the children do not have this way. Therefore, these schools of ours are still very attractive to ordinary children! ”

Liu Zi'an said: "This move of the head town is really meaningful! In this way, in a few years, all the talents we need in Shandong Town can be cultivated by ourselves, and we no longer have to worry about lack of manpower! ”

When everyone heard this, they all admired Liu Juntao.

Liu Juntao smiled and said to Lan Siqi: "The Central Department immediately makes a specific plan for compulsory education, and the required manpower and cost should also be clear. ”

"Order!"
