Chapter 275: Cai Yong's emotion
(Recommended reading: Coming out of Li Tiedan's house, Ye Chen has been wandering around the militia's plan in his mind, and thirty militias in a village or a Zhuangzi will not seem to be much.
Judging from the current situation, there can be an extra 20,000 or 30,000 militia in the entire Liaodong, and the burden of these militia is very small, and it is enough to pay a little subsidy every month.
When there is a need, it is estimated that it will be a few years later, and after a few years, these militias have been trained for several years, and their combat effectiveness is not weak at all, and they can even organize large-scale training for a month or two during the slack time to train them in combat formations and combat skills.
Now there are many wounded and retired guard battalion soldiers in Liaodong, and although they can no longer go to the battlefield, it is no problem to train these militiamen.
This decision may have a great impact, so Ye Chen walked to more than a dozen villages for three days in a row to learn more about the situation of the militia.
Most of those who can come to serve as militiamen will not affect their lives, they work in the fields when they are busy with farming, but they will also send a few people to patrol everywhere every day, and start training when the farmers are slack, and at the same time there are several people patrolling.
They are very motivated, because a stable and prosperous life is not easy to come by, and they cannot be broken by anyone.
The more Ye Chen knew, the more confident he was in his heart, the militia system would not affect their lives, and it could save a lot of military spending, and it could also maintain local stability, which was really cost-effective.
Zhang Jing followed Ye Chen for several days in a row, she rarely spoke when she didn't go anywhere, and even others mistook her for Ye Chen's wife, and she didn't explain.
She was also very curious and wanted to know about the situation here, because Ye Chen promised to help them arrange thousands of yellow scarves, so she also wanted to know more about the situation here.
She was shocked that the inhabitants of this place were living well, it was a different world, and she could now understand why the Yellow Turbans had revolted here in the first place, and why they had failed so quickly.
Who would want to rebel with this kind of life, and Ye Chen's support rate here is still very high, Zhang Jing found that several families even enshrined Ye Chen's ancestral hall, how much support does this have for Ye Chen?
Ye Chen also found out and began to feel very uncomfortable, but he knew that this was a good thing, it could increase his influence, and they had this belief that would naturally dilute the influence of the Yellow Turban Taiping Dao in their hearts.
So Ye Chen didn't stop it, nor did he publicize it, everything depends on the people's own wishes.
It's not just Ye Chen and Zhang Jing who have sighed along the way, Cai Yong and Cai Yan have been in Yuxian County for several days, and Cai Yong has been completely shocked by the visits and inspections in the past few days.
The living conditions here are different from anywhere they have ever seen, Cai Yong has walked from Luoyang to Youzhou, and has seen too many villages, but none of them have the vitality here.
I have to say that Cai Yong completely believed what Ye Chen said, and even felt that Ye Chen was low to him at the beginning.
Cai Yong imagined that if the entire Han Dynasty was like this, what kind of prosperous era would it be, and it should be even more brilliant than the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he also knew that only Liaodong could do this, and only Ye Chen would do this.
Cai Yong understood why Ye Chen wanted to take refuge in Zhang Rang at this time, he himself had great prestige, and he was still a high-ranking official of the imperial court when he was in Luoyang, but in this way, he would be harassed when he went to give porridge.
If Ye Chen doesn't take refuge in Zhang Rang and has no power in his hands, then all this is illusory, and if he changes the county order, he will be able to toss all this in less than two years.
So now Cai Yong has an idea to support Ye Chen.
This thought shocked him, because he was very disgusted with Ye Chen before.
"Yan'er, what do you think of Ye Chen?" Cai Yong sighed and asked Cai Yan.
"I think he's amazing, at least he can settle so many people and give them a stable life. Even the imperial court could not do this. ”
"Yes, even the imperial court can't do it.
At this moment, Cai Yong was extremely disappointed in the imperial court, Ye Chen was not an official when he started doing all this, he could do this with the strength of a family, and the imperial court had a big empty body, but it was useless.
"Daddy, have you noticed that there are a lot of private schools here?" Cai Yan saw that Cai Yong was in a low mood, so he changed the topic.
"Private study? Yes, but I didn't pay too much attention to it, is there anything wrong with private learning? ”
Cai Yong has always paid attention to people's livelihood, although he has also seen private schools here, but he doesn't care too much, in a county with a large population, it is normal to have a few private schools.
It's just that Cai Yong didn't pay attention, but Cai Yan did, and she also found many different places.
"Daddy, there is naturally no problem with private learning, but in the past few days, Yan'er has found more than a dozen private schools, and the private schools here are different from those in other places, the scale of private schools here is very large, I have observed, there are at least hundreds of people."
"What? More than a dozen private schools? And the scale reaches hundreds? ”
Private learning is normal, but there are not many private schools in each place, and the most important thing is that there are generally only one or two teachers in private learning, and there are only ten or twenty students, and only three or five at least.
But if it's a few hundred people, is it still a private study? Thinking of this, Cai Yong was not calm, and he decided to take a look for himself.
Cai Yong calls them private schools, but here they are not called private schools, although they are not called schools, but schools. The school is usually set up in several villages, and the school-age children from several nearby villages are gathered.
Therefore, the school is not difficult to find in Yuxian County, but Cai Yong pays too much attention to people's livelihood and ignores it.
The school was also ignored by Ye Chen, he had been here for a few days, and he had always remembered the militia in his heart, and now that the militia's investigation had been completed, he also had a plan in his heart, so he began to investigate other things.
Of course, this school is also one of Ye Chen's key points, it can be said that the proportion of investment in education in the Ye family's expenditure is already very high, but this money cannot be saved.
Ye Chen's identity is a businessman, and he is destined to have less talent than those families, and now his power has become bigger, and his reputation has become better by fighting against Wu Huan, but he is not the first choice of the family.
If there is no talent, you will cultivate talents by yourself, although it will take a long time, but Ye Chen will wait.
Education has always been hanging in Ye Chen's heart, because education is not an overnight thing, but a long-term thing, so Ye Chen didn't look at it for the first time, although it is important, it is more important than others, but the effect is slow.
The most important thing in education is that those in power should pay attention to it, although Ye Chen was not in Liaodong before, he would also pay attention to it, and he deliberately asked Bai Feng to make a special report, which was also a disguised way to let Bai Feng pay attention to education.
Now that education has formed a scale in Yuxian County, and has achieved certain results, some older children, through two or three years of study, Ye Chen has put them in some relatively low-level positions.
