"What? You said that Wang Binghe and they have not come back until now, and there is no news from the messenger who came back quickly from Haizhou (Lianyungang)......"

At the wharf of Zhujiazhuang in the Ming Dynasty, the crowds of regimental training soldiers carried the goods on the Shanzhai Zheng He Treasure Ship No. 2 here. Zhu Zilong was surprised when he heard the latest report from Lin Shuang'er and Wang Dayong.

Zhu Zilong, who was frowning and thinking, soon realized that there would only be two reasons for such a result.

One is that either Wang Binghe and they are still trapped in Dongsheng Divine Continent, after all, only a few days have passed.

The second is that they relied on the tips of Xiaobai and Xiaohei, and they had already come out, but they were worried that they would be trapped inside, so they were still walking around the surrounding sea area. Don't dare to go back to Zhujiazhuang!

After all, the boss is gone, so you came out safely, do you have the face to go back?

The second one is the most likely, thinking of this, Zhu Zilong immediately asked people to arrange a few boats to go to the sea and ordered them to move towards the place where the accident occurred. If you bump into Wang Binghe and them, explain that you have arrived home and let them go back quickly.

When this command was finished, he turned his head and returned to Zhuangzi, where a large number of merchants had been waiting for a long time.

They gave the deposit and signed the contract, and now they are just waiting for Zhu Zilong's modern goods to come, and when they hear that the cargo ship has arrived, how can they not be anxious.

Yes, it only took a few days for Zhu Zilong to ship back the goods from the so-called thousands of miles outside the Americas. Naturally, there will be some people who have a heart to doubt one or two!

It's just that no one really has the ability to track Zhu Zilong and figure out how these goods were transported to Dengzhou and Yantai. After all, tracking on the long sea is not easy!

Especially recently, there are many people who have been following Zhu Zilong, who were put into sacks by Zhu Zilong's younger brothers and thrown into the sea for dinner as fish, and the corpse could not be seen.

Some people who have a heart can only force themselves to be blind.

They all comforted themselves so much in their hearts, maybe the Four Seas Dragon Marquis had already had a transit station, and he just went to an island to pick up the goods. Just make money, life matters, don't worry about anything else!

The own people in Zhuangzi and Zhu Zilong's younger brothers have become a little insensitive to the mountains of goods piled up in the docks and warehouses, and they have become accustomed to it.

Even if you see the bronze cannon and the Napoleon break, and a lot of unexplained things, you can turn a blind eye. They only need to understand one thing, Zhu Zilong's orders must be absolutely obeyed.

And the merchant collaborators who could only wait to pick up the goods in the outer village, even if some people saw something, they pretended not to see it. Now everyone is a grasshopper tied to a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. One more thing is better than one less thing!

According to the requirements of the contract, a large number of goods will be shipped away by the outside businessmen and collaborators, who will give money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

After storing a large number of remaining goods in the warehouse, Zhu Zilong inspected several of his military camps again, and after making a familiar face and showing a sense of existence. He entered the inner village!

At this time, Zhujiazhuang, because of the vigorous start of the cement workshop, not only most of the houses in the inner village and courtyard have been qualitatively changed and strengthened.

Even the roads that connect with each other are also made of cement mixed with boulders, not only can a large number of carriages pass, Zhu Zilong estimates that even the tanks have no problem passing on them.

Thinking about the literacy textbooks and other things he brought, Zhu Zilong waved his hand, arranged Wang Dayong and relevant personnel, and decided to cement Zhujiazhuang People's Hospital and a university hall to repair it first.

What the?

You say you're worried that there won't be enough gentlemen to be teachers, and the children and adults in the classroom will be literate?

This, you should be more filtered. There may be some difficulties in this matter, but it is ideological, not the number of scholars who become teachers.

Judging from the average data of the Ming Dynasty, the scale of scientific examinations in each province is between four or five thousand to tens of thousands, and the average admission rate is estimated to be around 10%. The number of people who participated in the imperial examination in the whole country was around hundreds of thousands of scholars, and only one-tenth of them could become Xiucai, that is, tens of thousands of people.

There will also be 90% of hundreds of thousands of scholars who fall into Sun Shan, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who are not even Xiucai, and there are hundreds of thousands of people after each list.

Well, it's even more terrifying if you look deeper. The admission rate of the township examination is generally around 10% at the beginning of Ming Dynasty; Naritari and Hiroma set at 5.9%; In the last years of Jiajing, it fell to 3.3%; And the actual acceptance rate is lower than that. Saying that there is 10% is really high!

Even if you win the show, tens of thousands of talents will teach people to lift, and the probability of winning is almost between 5-10%.

This becomes one of the thousands of lifters, and then the lifter is admitted to the Jinshi, and the winning rate is about the same as the previous one, and only a few hundred people are selected again.

If this TM wants to be on the list and become an official directly, the probability is definitely about 1 in 10,000. If you include the time when the imperial examination is held only once every three years, it is simply one in 100,000!

Thinking about the Ming Dynasty, the average life expectancy of ordinary people was only between 30 and 40 years old, and the probability of a scholar's name falling to Sun Mountain was too common. How many three years are there in life? How many times can you waste it?

Not all scholars have small assets in their families, and getting fame and fame does not necessarily bring wealth. Only Xiucai who is qualified as a student does not have a good fortune, and if he fails to pass the township examination after that, he is not enough to be an official.

Many Xiucai failed to go further in fame and could only return to their hometowns to make a living by teaching and other methods. But the people are poor, and there are not so many teachers in ordinary places.

Now that Zhu Zilong can open a large school, recruit teachers, and give a high salary, are you really afraid that you won't be able to recruit people?

If you become a teacher, you will not be allowed to continue to take the imperial examination, just as a part-time job, why not?

Therefore, Zhu Zilong is not worried about not being able to recruit someone to be a teacher.

What he was worried about was that the things that would be taught in his own school in the future would not focus on the Four Books and Five Classics and the Eight Strands of Literature at all. Will it be spiritually and ideologically that these Ming scholars who come to be Mr. Teaching will have a heart of resistance.

"No matter what, let's get the school up first, if those brainless students who fail to read the list, they still don't think about the past. It's a big deal, my brother first used the literate woman in the Qinglou to act as a female gentleman. Anyway, I just want the people under my rule to be literate in advance, and I don't need them to make a fuss. Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong muttered softly to himself.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Jingzheng came over.

The Zhang family is the first time Zhu Zilong crossed over to the Ming Dynasty to meet the nobles, and the two sides have been cooperating until now. Even if only a small part is still cooperating now, it has also benefited the Zhang family a lot, and the relationship between the two sides is like a real uncle and nephew.

Zhang Jingzheng came over to pull some goods away, of course, because the relationship between the two parties was not ordinary, he also came in politely for a while to bring the relationship closer.

Some things are not easy to say to others, but even the housekeeper came from Zhang's house to dig the corner, Zhu Zilong hid it from Zhang Jingzheng, but in the matter of teaching, he felt that he wanted to hear his opinion.

And Zhang Jingzheng frowned after listening to Zhu Zilong's future idea of wanting everyone under his rule to be literate. The expression is getting serious!

Let ordinary people children and adults become literate for free, and all of them are becoming literate one after another, which can be big or small. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were very vigorous, especially after they became famous, they did not kneel when they saw officials.

Confucianism can become a doctrine vigorously promoted by rulers, which is related to its essence or the convenience of ruling by foolish people.

"The people may make it to themselves, but they cannot know it." In the past, emperors and officials, as well as scholars, just hoped that the common people would be stupid and uneducated in order to fool and rule.

Zhu Zilong hopes that all the people under his rule will be literate and become half of the scholars, this matter cannot be handled well, and it can be regarded as a big deal! (To be continued.) )
