"The next step is to recruit new soldiers in Penghu, successively recruit five or six battalions, recruit three or four battalions in Nan'an and other places, and make up nine battalions of new pawns. The new soldiers were sent to the Eastern Domain for training, and the original six battalions of new soldiers were successively transferred to Penghu to enrich the water division, and the Nanyang naval division was really in their hands. The Zhongzi Battalion and the Yizi Battalion were transferred to the Eastern Domain to defend, and at the same time helped to train new soldiers. Xu Zixian looked at everyone and said slowly: "People's hearts, defense, and epidemic prevention, these things are the most important and critical things, and doing them well one by one can ensure the stability of people's hearts, and there will be no sudden external enemies, and there will be no internal instability......"

Fu Qian hugged his fists and said: "There are also waterwheel construction, brick factories, wood factories and other factory construction, which cannot be ignored." ”

Li Yi said: "The site selection of the ranch has been almost completed, the periphery is burned, and the internal mosquitoes are repellent, I plan to put a batch of horses in for grazing, and see the results first." ”

Kong He said: "A lot of expenses, usage, personnel records, as well as tools, animal husbandry management, everything must be determined as soon as possible, the system, there must be a special department to manage, and the accounts must be reviewed and supervised, not only in my hands, nor only in the hands of my subordinates." ”

Everyone raised their eyes to look at Kong He, but this person had a flat expression, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

Xu Zixian has full confidence in Kong He's character and ability.

The materials handed over by the Marquis of Changwen, the copper coins, were all responsible for Kong He, and many expenses were put in Kong He's hands, and then released from Kong He's hands.

Because of Yang Yingming's lesson, the account management is quite strict, and Kong He also lives up to his trust, and the accounts he handles are very clear and understandable, and everyone believes that he will not take a penny from the public accounts.

But Kong and himself think that this is inappropriate, first of all, the name does not match the reality, and secondly, he and some officials are doing things, and there is a shortage of manpower, I am afraid that if he holds the power of money and property for a long time, people's hearts will change.

In addition, there is no special personnel to check the accounts and check the materials, which is also a very important matter.

In fact, Kong He believes that not only civilian accounts, but also military and naval divisions, these accounts must be reviewed, including the people, and they must also be subject to supervision.

But Kong He has no intention of taking this matter on himself, military attaches and soldiers should use military law, and it is not suitable for outsiders to put their hands in, at this point, Kong He is also quite wise.

"What Kong Xuanping said is very true." Xu Zi glanced at Fang Shaoqun first, and saw that there was a thoughtful expression on the other party's face, Xu Zixian knew that Kong He's performance also made Fang Shaoqun slightly distracted, so it was okay, lest he become more arrogant because of his excellent intelligence.

"This convening meeting," Xu Zixian said: "It is intended to sort out the military and political aspects of the establishment of the Hou Mansion, so that the name is consistent with the facts, and increase the management ability of the Hou Mansion. Besides, there are major yamen in Fuzhou, and we are not allowed to cross them. Now from the Hou Mansion to the Eastern Domain, the residents of the island are all official households of the Hou Mansion...... To put it too far, this is where the Emperor of Heaven is far away, and we don't have to be too disciplined. ”

The people present were not uneasy, only Fu Qian moved his buttocks, Chen Changnian's eyes drooped for a moment, and quickly raised them, his eyes were still firm and bright.

Lin Jiusi, a craftsman doctor, is not here, otherwise his performance should be the same as everyone else, firm and calm.

People have become accustomed to following Xu Zixian and following his instructions without any doubts.

"The human mind is the pivot, and the arms, chest, abdomen, legs and feet all follow the instructions of the mind. Therefore, the imperial court will have two governments, two mansions, and the mind of the imperial court. It is also the manifestation of the will of the mind. Xu Zixian smiled and said to everyone: "Of course we are not qualified to set up a political affairs hall, if people know, one is a joke, and second, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will send a forbidden army desperately......"

When everyone heard this, they all smiled.

The Nan'an Hou Mansion must have its own official positions, institutions, and even military names.

But it must be within the scope that the imperial court can accept, after exceeding a certain range, it may make the imperial court unbearable, Chongde Tianzi was originally very jealous of Xu Zixian, and he threw him on this desert island and hoped that Xu Zixian would exhaust his efforts and energy in the Eastern Domain, and in the end it was a failure.

If Xu Zixian is too enterprising, the Chongde Heavenly Son will be unbearable in the end, and I am afraid that it will trigger unpredictable consequences.

"Our core is not called the political affairs hall in the book...... Xu Zixian muttered: "In the past, the ancient name could not be used, and the new name should be called the Secretary Pavilion." The head of the secretary's cabinet is the left assistant of the secretary's cabinet, and the deputy is the right assistant, which consists of the cardinal's room, which is in charge of cardinals, documents, archives, military orders, etc. Then set up a bureaucracy's room, take charge of the official files of the marquis's house, and appoint and remove all affairs. There are also school rooms, punishment rooms, military rooms, industrial and commercial rooms, tax audit rooms, and all the affairs of the Hou Mansion are carried out by the secretary cabinet to assist me. ”

Everyone is satisfied, and the secretary's cabinet is actually a change of name in the province of Chinese books, a political hall.

However, unlike Zhongshutang, it seems that the Hou Mansion attaches more importance to industrial and commercial taxation and other affairs, and has set up a special room, and there is no correspondence between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, so it should not be needed at this stage.

But the audit room and the school room, but I don't know what it means?

Kong He is a straightforward person, so he asked if he didn't understand at the moment, and asked Xu Zi for advice first.

"The school room is my plan to include maritime studies, military science and agriculture, engineering, business, arithmetic, and formal learning in one place, and teach students according to their aptitude. Paid by the Hou Mansion to contribute, set up primary school, secondary school two, all those who are interested in learning, willing to let their children study, can enter the primary school, can learn to be a sailor, soldiers, can learn technology, our factories are preferentially hired, can also learn arithmetic, business, after the teacher to our own business house as a buddy, the school system ranges from one year to three years, the food is all inclusive, the tuition is also free, but the priority is to give us a deed to sign, after the completion of the study, you need to give us three to five years to work for the Hou Mansion of Nan'an. The middle school is further study, for example, to learn the naval warfare of the sailor, it takes about five years from primary school to middle school, and after leaving the school, it is directly awarded to those who are from the nine grades of martial arts, and those who learn business and business arithmetic can be directly the shopkeeper. If you want to come from the right path, you have to go to the examination by yourself, raise people, and take the Jinshi examination is also to cultivate good talents for the country, and we are not at a loss. ”

"What does the prince mean, is he going to build a school?"

"Yes." Xu Zixian admitted calmly: "We are located in a remote and open sea, if we only build a academy, an academy, and a mountain chief, I am afraid that we will not be able to attract famous people to the Eastern Domain." Only by setting up a school room, teaching without class, and incorporating all the young and Mongolian children on the island and those under the age of 30 who are interested in learning into the school, will it be possible to attract celebrities and scholars, and our Eastern Domain will continue to attract talents......"

This is a considerable decision, and Xu Zixian did not discuss it with everyone beforehand, but like the decision to set up a secretary's cabinet and each room, no one will object to this decision.

For the people inside the Hou Mansion, they were all suspicious before they came to the Eastern Domain, and they would think twice, and there were many people who had not even received their families until now.

Under such a premise, how to attract more talented people to come has become a big problem.

Fang Shaoqun's eyes flickered, he just reminded Nan Anhou to attract Wu Shizhong to come, but he didn't expect that overnight, Xu Zixian would make such a big decision.

There will be no class of education, from small to large, and dozens of large and small halls will be built in the entire Eastern Domain, which will provide all scholars with learning venues and teachers free of charge, as well as teaching materials, food and lodging, which will undoubtedly make the entire Eastern Domain no longer have any illiterate.

This is also the idea of Taizu of the Great Wei when he founded the country, and later because of the lack of national strength and the lack of determination of the successors, this ambitious plan was put on hold.

Even so, the literacy rate of the Great Wei Dynasty is far higher than that of the previous dynasty, if the plan of Taizu has been implemented, not to mention 100% literacy, but it is still quite possible to achieve the literacy of the majority of the people.

If Nan'anhou Mansion can do this, it will be an obvious signal to many Confucians, celebrities, including talented people, Nan'anhou is ambitious, and follows the way of Taizu in doing things, and does not spare money, Xu Zixian and Nan'anhou's image will have a significant elevation.

Of course, this plan is also very expensive...... By the end of the year, there will be more than 100,000 people on the island, and there may be thousands of kindergartens, children, and prospective students, and schools will have to hire a large number of teachers and purchase a large number of teaching materials, and the cost will be a huge number at first, and then at least tens of thousands of yuan a year.

This investment, in the current Nan'anhou Mansion, will be a rather heavy burden.

"There is no opinion under it." Kong He was the first to agree, he said in a deep voice: "When the officials were officials, they sighed that many peasants and ordinary people could not read a few big characters, and could not be familiar with the laws and regulations of the dynasty, but were deceived and bullied by traitorous officials, and even literate people manipulated public opinion and influenced the legal department, and the officials were officials for generations. Although it costs a lot of money, the prince has done it right, and I fully agree with it. ”

Li Yi nodded and said: "If everyone is literate, can read and understand etiquette, is familiar with the law, copies the palace, and can read the newspaper, then there are many fewer inexplicable people in the world, and there are more gentlemen who abide by etiquette, understand the law, and know shame, no matter how much it costs, it is worth it." ”

Chen Zuocai and others also spoke in agreement, and Qin Dongyang and others certainly had nothing to say.

Xu Zixian didn't expect that the establishment of a school room to engage in free education would be so easy to be recognized and supported by everyone.

Although his prestige and power in the Hou Mansion can be strongly promoted, if he has the approval and sincere support of his subordinates, of course, he will get twice the result with half the effort, and if he does not support and support, it will definitely have different effects and results.

While feeling quite gratified, Xu Zixian also sincerely sighed that he may look at the world, that is, Dawei, in fact, it is the most important education in Chinese history.

At this time in Europe and Abera, knowledge should still be held by the aristocracy and wealthy merchants, after the widespread spread of shabu-shabu, the promotion of papermaking, and the emergence of movable type shabu-shabu, the church, aristocracy, and wealthy businessmen's control over knowledge gradually relaxed and out of control, and people can read, study, and think, so that the society can be vibrant, and different noises will appear, so as to promote the circulation and transmission of knowledge, and more talents will join the scientific system.

Technology is only the carrier of science, and philosophy is the soil for the emergence of science.

The so-called Renaissance is that there are more voices among the people, people from blind belief to rationality, everyone wants to get more, hope to change more, on this basis, there will be navigators to go to sea, more wealth, more opportunities, need more technological improvement and innovation, and then there will be a global trade and military revolution, and then the industrial revolution will naturally appear.

China has a tradition of emphasizing knowledge, but China, like medieval Europe, has taken a crooked path.

In the Middle Ages, academic control was in the hands of the church, while in China from the Han Dynasty, Confucianism and Confucianism, Confucianism's knowledge and Legalism's means of governing the people served for the centralized dynasty, Confucianism was used to maintain people's hearts, and Legalism's centralization of power and control of the people were used as the basis for actual rule.

Xu Zixian now thinks that the Great Wei Taizu did many things right, otherwise the Great Wei would not be able to fight against the Mongols, Khitans, Dangxiang and other alien races at their peak.

But what Taizu did not do right was that he did not change the essence of the centralized dynasty, did not provide more ideas, and did not change the essence of Confucianism and internal law.

Therefore, the Son of Heaven will still centralize power, and after a long time, the Great Wei will still become a flattened centralized dynasty, the center will become more and more corrupt and incompetent, and the local area will become more and more impoverished and weak.

When the external enemy is weakened, the dynasty can be maintained.

When the external enemy is strong, it will be difficult to maintain the centralized dynasty when it reaches the middle and late stages, whether it is the Song or the Ming, the result is the same.
