Chen Guoxi was not small in the Zhou Dynasty, and the first monarch was already a duke, but unfortunately Chen Guo was located between Zheng and Cai, and there was no room for development. Mixed for hundreds of years and several times of rise and fall - in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the destruction of the country and the restoration of the country was like a common thing, all in the mediation of a big country, in line with the will of a certain big country, then it can restore the country, and if you disobey the will of a certain big country, then you will destroy the country.

Chen Guoshu died in the country, and then returned to the country, until he died more than 200 years ago by the immortal King Chu Hui. The state is not a public weapon, but only the private property of the monarch. The Chen State died in the country, but the Chen clan did not decline, but thrived in the Qi State, and finally replaced the surname Jiang and became the royal family of the Qi State.

Such an ancient country has already bred many officials, and after the annexation of the Chu State, it did not clean up all kinds of forces in the country, but only added a set of county officials. Chen County is a rich county, Chen Gong is a humble person, and Yin from all over the county sent his children to ask Chen Gong to 'discipline', and these people naturally had a vegetarian meal in the corpse of Chen County.

The children of the ministers, the county officials, and the township have five layers of township officials, including Xu, Shi, Zheng, Chang, and Doctor, and finally all kinds of husbands, adding up to only more than 3,000 people. Hearing what Lang Yin said, Xiong Jing sighed: "More than 3,000 officials, how much grain do you have to eat in a year?" ”

"The king, it happens to be a one-year land rent in Chen County." The bookkeeper didn't understand that the king was sighing.

"What about the military endowment?" Xiong Jing asked again. "Can there be a survey army? Is the warehouse empty or full? Is the high library empty or full? ”

"Kurayu, enough." Lang Yin replied, "Chen County is rich, and officials don't need to steal military assets. ”

"What if we replace them with honorable people?" Xiong Jing asked again. He didn't want to talk about the topic of military endowment, which was another bad debt that couldn't be calculated.

"This ......" Lang Yin just came to check the accounts, and he couldn't answer at all when he heard the words, so Xiong Jing had to wave them away, and muttered to himself the idea of honoring the officials on behalf of the officials: "Five families are neighbors, five neighbors are Lu, one Lu and one honorable scholar are enough, and more than 60,000 households are more than 2,000 honorary scholars." The number of people is less than that of officials, even if they receive 300 stone a year, it is only more than 600,000 stone a year, which is less than the regular tax of 850,000 stone.

One honorable person, one party, one country, one witch, and then one party and one township school. The people of the country must also be honored in the future, and those who have military merits cannot do it. In addition to worshipping honorable scholars and witches, the common people also paid the township school's salary. There are 500 households in one party, about two or three thousand people. Two or three thousand people ......, Shi Qing, how many schoolchildren should there be in a party? ”

The age ratio of the population determines the number of children, and how does the right history know the age ratio of the population of the current Chu State.

"Does anyone know how many children are eight to eleven years old?" Xiong Jing asked Chang Jiang and the others again. Chang Jiang didn't know how many children there were in the party, so he immediately sent someone out to ask.

"The king, the person with a small mouth is half of the person with a big mouth." Chang Jiang asked for an approximation.

"Half of a small mouthful?" It's already a math problem, "that's 33 percent ......."

"The old slave doesn't know that the county officials all have small mouths, and only half of them are big." Chang Jiang replied.

"A child under the age of fourteen is a child who is not a native of a small country. Eight years old, nine years old, ten years old, eleven years old, four years ......, if the ratio is average, it is about 10 percent. Two or three thousand, that is to say, two or three hundred schoolchildren. A class of 30 people is a class of seven to ten. The first class needs to be ......"

It's really not clear how many teachers are needed for a class. In the popular education of Chu State, language and history are mixed, which is considered a course; Mathematics and nature are also mixed, which is the second subject; Farming, production and living skills, etiquette, that is, practice, are the third subjects; The last course is naturally martial arts, and the fourth is a course.

Naturally, there must be four teachers for four courses, and there may be more than four, and women need at least one female teacher to teach female red. Eight to eleven years old, that is to say, there are four grades, and eight classes in the whole school are equal to two classes in the first grade, and if these five people are in charge of two classes, then there are twenty teachers, plus a number of miscellaneous servants, I am afraid that there will be more than twenty-five.

In addition to raising 20 honorary scholars, a party also raises 20 teachers and a witch, which is equivalent to 12 households supporting one household. Even if everyone had a field, the rent for each field was fifteen koku, and the annual rent was only one hundred and eighty koku. Too little, even fewer in famine years. Moreover, it is impossible for every household to have land, and many people do not farm but become hired laborers, and these people account for about 20% of the land, and can only receive about 120 yuan of land rent.

If the scholars also went to the school to teach martial arts, then there were only thirty-seven people to be supported, which was equivalent to thirteen households and one half-raised household, and each household rented fifteen stones, and the annual income was two hundred and ten stones.

If the oral endowment (one Chinese New Year's Eve yuan for those who are registered as Fu and twelve yuan a year for those who are not registered as Fu) is converted into a teacher's salary, Feng can barely have 200 stone that year, and he can live a more decent life.

As for the cost of building the school, about 10 classrooms, about 16 teachers' houses, and possibly other labs for practical classes, sports fields, etc., these are not a problem at all. There are 500 households in a party, and there is a month of forced labor every year, and the classrooms are built with rammed earth, which is nothing more than wood and costs some money. The money is paid either in full or in the event that the teachers are not fully paid (only one grade in the first year and four grades in the fourth year). It's just that the cost of paper, textbooks, and teaching aids has to be paid by the Yingdu Mansion.

In addition to the essential work of sacrificing to the gods and exorcising ghosts, the witches also have the duties of village doctors, and teachers are naturally educating children, the trinity, which is the ideal grassroots of the party in Xiong Jing's heart. In order to achieve this ideal situation, it is necessary to pay only land rent and oral taxes, and there is no loss of customs duties belonging to the Lingyin Mansion, military taxes belonging to the Great Sima Mansion, mountains and seas and ponds belonging to the Great Mansion, as well as household taxes and city taxes, and the real losses are all the officials.

"What do you think of the king's plan?" A few days later, Yingdu ordered the Yin Mansion, and only after the important ministers finished reading the plan did Nao Cunning begin to ask. Before sending this plan to the foreign court for discussion, he had to know everyone's opinions.

"No." Song Yu, who didn't like to express his opinion the most, rushed to speak for the first time. "Replace the officials with honorable scholars, and the county officials will rebel."

"Not really." Lu Yangjun objected to this. "The king's policy, the officials are just going to work, and Yu Lu is still there. In more than 100 counties and towns across the country, there are only more than 12,000 registered officials, not counting the corpses, and most of them have no money, and those who have money are less than 10,000 people, and even if they are 150 stones, it is only 10,000 gold. The imperial court preferred to pay 10,000 gold to make him give up his official position, so that the new policy would not be hindered by it. ”

"If a father is an official, his son is also an official, and if a father is an official, his son is also a official." Song Yu objected. And Chen Ying privately collected more than 1 million stone in field rent, more than 400 stone per person. If it were you, the annual worship was originally 400 stones, and suddenly it was reduced to 150 stones, would you like it? ”

"More than 400 stones are illegal taxes, how can they be regarded as a tax?" Meng Zhengyu interjected.

"But in the eyes of the officials, he is the law, what illegal taxes are there?" Song Yu asked rhetorically. "And the imperial court only benefits those who have a fortune, and there are no people who have a fortune, such as fighting food, small officials, servants, Lu Xu, clan teachers, and party leaders, what about such people?"

"These people have no money, and they cannot buy them out." Buyout is a word used by Xiong Jing, but it is actually laid-off. In later generations, the workers were laid off, and he wanted all the officials of the Chu State except the heavenly officials to be laid off. In order not to make trouble for them, they had to buy out their seniority.

"Never! Although these people have no understanding, they have secrets, and in this way, their livelihood is cut off. Song Yu kept shaking his head, and his face became more worried. The common people are stupid, and if the officials instigate it, the whole country will rebel. This is especially true at the time of the national war. ”

"What do you mean?" Song Yu was completely opposed, and after Meng Zhengyu and Lu Yangjun didn't speak, Nao had no choice but to ask others.

"This matter should be delayed." Seeing that the others didn't speak, Zhao Huang had no choice but to speak. "In wartime, it is especially impossible to mention."

"The king's intention is also to slow down." Nao said slyly, "However, this matter must be brought to the foreign court for discussion." If you don't succeed in the first year, you won't succeed in the second year, and you will have to do it in the third and fourth years. ”

"Shall we hand it over to the foreign court for consultation?" Zi Mo asked, he felt that he could not hand it over to the foreign court for consultation by the important ministers. "That's not right."

"What's wrong?" Mengzheng Bird Road. "Chen County is only one county, and the corruption is so huge, what should other counties do? This plan can be proposed by Zuo Yin's Mansion to the foreign court for discussion, one year is not more than two years, and two years is not more than three years. If the government of the people of the DPRK can penetrate into the hearts of the people, why should they be afraid that the officials will instigate the common people to rebel? ”

"That's fine." Doctor Sanlu agreed, "Zuo Yinfu mentioned to the foreign court, and we either agree or disagree." ”

"I think it's doable, too." Yang Wenjun also nodded, "Officials are corrupt and bribe-taking, and they can't do anything, so they want to be deterred by the foreign court." ”

"The county magistrate may be a gentleman of party learning." Tang Miao came up with an idea. "There are more than 900 parties in the country, each party has one school, one school has 20 gentlemen, and these 20,000 people are also ...... if county officials can be gentlemen?"

"Except for the clerks, who can be teachers of culture and education, the rest of the county officials cannot be teachers." Song Yu is in charge of the politics of culture and education, and he knows very well how many courses there are in primary school. "There is no shortage of teachers of literature and education in party learning, but what is lacking is a teacher of planning and calculation, and a teacher who is good at agriculture and technology. Today, 2,000 normal students have been enrolled, most of whom are teachers of culture and education. There are 20,000 gentlemen, and there are only 4,000 teachers of culture and education, and if the officials are full of them, the scholars of the whole country will be dissatisfied. ”

"To mention this plan or not?" Nao Wei didn't want to discuss Tang Miao's proposal, and his words were still close to the topic.

"It can be mentioned, and it is enough to make it not work." Yang Wenjun smiled.

"Mentionable." Zimeng Zhengyu, Mo, Qu Sui, Tang Miao, Zhao Xiao, and Lu Yangjun all nodded, but Guan Ji was silent.

"What do you mean?" Nao asked slyly, wondering why he didn't say anything.

"This matter can be mentioned." During this period of time, there were proposals for everything, and it was simply a mess. "I'm worried about the king."

"How's the king?" The ministers all looked at him, and Nao was even more worried. "Now Qin Wei has no intention of attacking the city."

"What does Yin think about the mobilization of the people but not the siege of the city?" Looking at the season, he asked rhetorically.

"The Qin people are repeated, and the Wei people are driven by them, and they have no desire to fight." Nao said slyly. "Dare to ask Taibu, but is the divination different?"
