Chapter 221: Establishment of the Normal School and the Township Covenant

"Mother, daughter waits for you to wash your hands."

Tang Ying said that he asked Tang Wangshi to sit down, and then let Tang Wang's hands put it in the basin, and soaped it, and personally washed Tang Wang's family.

Tang Wang was extremely surprised: "This soap is also a treasure, my hands are much cleaner in an instant, and I feel a little more fragrant and younger, my son, how did you create this magical thing?" ”

"This is all Lu Lang's idea, and the specifics, my daughter doesn't know, what kind of saponification reaction it is."

Tang Ying replied with a smile, seeing that her mother was so surprised by this soap, just like she was at the beginning, she was even more sure that the soap newly invented by the mighty army would definitely sell well.

"Mother look at this soap again, this soap should be more suitable for noble women, especially ladies like mother, these soaps are made with top spices, but they also have the effect of soap, bathing with this soap, can make the skin fragrant, the mother does not believe it, and smells her daughter's hands."

Tang Ying was born with snowy skin and moonlight, although she is now a wife, but because of the harmonious life of husband and wife, after falling in love with Lu Yuan, her skin is more and more tender like an ice sculpture.

Now, after Tang Ying handed a piece of Bai Yingying's arm to Tang Wang's family, Tang Wang's family was even more excited, and he was busy washing his hands with soap.

"It's really fragrant! When your father's old immortal comes back, I don't think he'll just run to a few aunts' houses! ”

Tang Wang said.

Tang Ying gave the soap, glassware, and mirrors to Tang Wang's family, and asked his mother to give them as gifts to the eunuchs.

Suddenly, all the officials and eunuchs became very interested in these three products.

Within half a month, the business of the comprehensive stores opened by the mighty army in Linqing City became even more popular.

Although it was the end of the Ming Dynasty and the world was tired, the more at this time, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, and the more wealth was concentrated in the hands of these gentry, the richer these gentry became.

Therefore, although the mighty army set the price of glassware and mirrors very high, which exceeded the cost price by several times, there was still an endless stream of buyers.

Even if it is sold out directly!

And that's just Linqing City.

When Lu Yuan and Tang Ying knew about this situation, they couldn't believe what would happen if these goods were sold to Jiangnan, which was rich in the world.

However, for the soap, the mighty army did not sell too high, after all, if this soap is popularized to the common people, it will help to improve the health of all Han people in the entire Ming Dynasty, so as to avoid the emergence of more diseases and plagues.

From the first half of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Qingshui Town Fort became the industrial center and political center of the mighty army.

Among them, all the civil departments are in the former general flag office of Qingquan Village in Qingshui Town, which is now the civil office near Qingquan Square.

The heavy industry is mainly concentrated in the valley on the northeast side of Qingquan Village.

The light industry is mainly concentrated on both sides of the river in Shuiyangzhai.

Most of the officials and civilians of the mighty army are still concentrated here.

Most of the import and export goods of the mighty army were mainly transported from Qingshui Town Fort to Linqing City, and then transported north or south through Linqing City.

The tax headquarters within the Weiwu Army set up a collection point on the road from Qingshui Zhenbao to Linqing City.

Of course, this is actually a tariff, but the mighty army is still the army of the imperial court after all, so it can't be directly taxed.

Hirayama, on the other hand, became the military center of the mighty army.

Lu Yuan has basically relocated the military functional departments to Pingshan.

Tang Ying also came to Pingshan after the new light industry products of the Weiwu Army were successfully marketed.

As the head of the internal affairs of the mighty army, she could not fail to personally inspect the land reform situation and other public undertakings in Pingshan.

"Has the social school of each production brigade in Pingshan been established now, is there enough teachers, and has there been children over the age of seven enrolled in school?"

Tang Ying couldn't help but ask Xiao Renke, who is now mainly responsible for the internal affairs management of the Pingshan area.

Xiao Renke hurriedly replied: "Young grandmother, there are still five production brigades that have not completed the establishment of social studies, the teachers are still not enough, and there are relatively few old masters who have fled among the displaced people. ”

Tang Ying couldn't help frowning after hearing this, she also knew that the current mighty army was not the imperial court, but just a force that was nominally a military commander of the imperial court but actually had its own set of military and political management systems, and it could not attract many scholars.

At this time, Tang Ying found that he had come to a social school nearby, and couldn't help but stop and listen for a while.

After hearing that the old master in this social science was reading the "Disciple Rules", he was even more speechless: "Lu Lang said that the children of our mighty army can't learn these books that make people only know how to be obedient and obedient to be a nerd and a slave, why didn't they choose the pinyin teaching literacy method that has been used in Qingshui Town Fort?" ”

"Back to the young grandmother, there is no way, these newly recruited old masters will only teach these, Qingshui Town Fort is also expanding its territory, and there are not enough gentlemen who can teach reading in pinyin!"

Xiao Renke had to say.

Tang Ying remembered it in his heart, and after returning to Lu Yuan, he mentioned it to Lu Yuan.

"After you go back to Qingshui Town Fort, first find a place to establish a Spring Breeze Normal School, the location you choose in Pingshan and Guantao and Tangyi, anyway, now our mighty army can control more places, when you can find a few quiet places to run a school, this Spring Breeze Normal School is to cultivate a school that can be a model for teachers, specializing in cultivating some gentlemen who can teach pinyin and the knowledge of various subjects! As soon as they graduate, they are immediately assigned to teach in various social studies or higher institutions! ”

Lu Yuan gave some instructions.

Tang Ying went back and did so.

However, when Tang Ying passed through Tangyi, she saw four or five people suddenly stopping in front of her carriage and shouting a complaint.

And this is not the first time.

Tang Ying couldn't help but find that now after the population of his mighty army increased due to territorial expansion, all kinds of criminal cases and civil cases also increased.

In these cases, there is no clear legal provision to stipulate the severity and manner of punishment.

What's more, no matter how smart Tang Ying is, it is impossible for him to be completely impartial and have the time to understand the causes and consequences of each case.

Therefore, Tang Ying felt more and more that there should be a township covenant within his mighty army that could be used as a constraint for the officials and the people.

Lu Yuan naturally agreed with this, the so-called township covenant is naturally the meaning of the law, but now the mighty army cannot directly propose a law.

But it is not an easy task to draw up a township covenant.

First of all, who has the power to make a township covenant?

There is no doubt that only Lu Yuan and Tang Ying have this power now.

But Lu Yuan and Tang Ying definitely don't have the energy, they must decentralize power, and it is also a question of who will delegate the power to formulate the township covenant.

It was precisely because of these that Lu Yuan did not have Tang Ying to formulate a township contract immediately, and he felt that he had to think about how to establish the formulation system of this township covenant.

In fact, it is indeed a little early for the mighty army to make a law now, because the cultural popularization rate of the entire mighty army is not high, except for a small number of people such as Lu Yuan and Tang Ying, most of them are still low-level people, and most of them have not yet made a law to restrain their consciousness.
