Chapter Seventy-Five: The Yellow Sparrow (I)

"In the coming year, the number of students admitted to county schools and government schools, as well as 100 technical schools, will at least double." After laughing, Shi Su Mingzhe, the governor of Huaiyang, who was known for his stinginess, suddenly said categorically, "Money is not a problem, as long as all prefectures and counties can recruit teachers and students, how much more money do you need to allot, and the old man will also make up for you to sell iron." ”

"Zhegong, is this too hasty, if there are too many students, it is inevitable, it will inevitably be mixed." Yangzhou Governor Luo Guanzhong was stunned, with a somewhat hesitant expression on his face.

In the past, the reason why Xiucai and Juzi were highly respected among the people was because of the scarcity of numbers, and if the admission quota of county schools, government schools and hundred technical schools was doubled, the admission threshold would need to be greatly reduced, so that the mystery and nobility of schools at all levels would inevitably be affected, and the status of scholars would become more and more worthless.

"Zi said, there is no class of education." Mr. Su has also read books, and it is effortless to quote scriptures, "In the past, there were 3,000 disciples under the sage, and there were only 2 out of 70 who could be called sages, but the remaining 2,928 people were not the seeds of Confucianism deliberately sown by the sage." ”

This said, it shows the true level of the old miser, first use the way of pulling out the seedlings to help grow, the overall number of scholars will be multiplied, as for how many real sages can be produced among them, don't worry about it for the time being, anyway, those who have studied in the new school, more or less, will be affected by the new deal, and once they are scattered to various places after completing their studies, it is equivalent to letting the Huaiyang New Deal scatter the seeds, and sooner or later there will be a chance to blossom and bear fruit.

"This" Luo Guanzhong still felt that Mr. Su's method was not appropriate, and turned his gaze to Lu Luzeng as if asking for help.

Who knows, Lu Luzeng, who has been on the list, was greatly appreciative of Su Mingzhe's mentions, nodded, and said with a smile, "Su Changshi's words are reasonable, there is no class, and teaching according to aptitude is the main purpose of the sage in the past. (Note 1)

As a generation of imperial examination leaders, the old master is disappointed in some of his Confucian colleagues, but he can write a few crooked poems, tune a few sour words, and regard himself as superior, so he has to trample the clansmen under his feet, this kind of person is not right in mind first, and the real Confucian pays attention to "righteousness, self-cultivation, and family", and then he governs the country and the world, in order to be a superior man for himself, and does not hesitate to betray his lord and colleagues, and there is no difference between him and the gangsters in the countryside.

Moreover, compared with him, most of the scholars in the three places of Huaiyang at the moment can indeed only be regarded as chicks who have just learned how to break sentences, no matter how crude the imperial examination system is, and there are no talents, but as long as they enter the examination room, it is equivalent to everyone competing under the same rules, and those who can rank among the top three are better than those who fall behind Sun Mountain.

"You can rest assured, now I have a lot of people in Huaiyang, not too much, even if they are successful, Yangzhou, Gaoyou and Huai'an can't be settled, as well as Xuzhou, Suzhou and Suiyang, in the future, I will be the head of Huaiyang, how can it be limited to a corner of Huaiyang,." Hearing that Lu Lu had supported him, Mr. Su made persistent efforts to bring out his true thoughts in his heart.

At this time, Robben has no reason to continue to object, the difficulties encountered by everyone in Huaiyang today will definitely be encountered in Xuzhou, Suzhou and other places where the governor's mansion is about to be incorporated into the territory, and the new area still needs to set up official offices, set up workshops, set up warehouses and facades of merchants, and also need to use a large number of scholars, and at present, as long as they are scholars, they will inevitably have a connection with the local gentry's family, and the children of ordinary families must be regarded as a laborer from the age of seven or eight. Either go to chop wood and herd cattle, or go to the workshop as an apprentice to learn the craft, how can you have spare money to read and write.

And as the territory under the rule of the Grand Governor's Mansion continues to expand, the gap of talents will also expand exponentially, if it is impossible to fill in enough students who are loyal to the Grand Governor's Office, the local government at all levels will be completely controlled by the local gentry and their sons and nephews, and the new policy will soon become no different from the old policy.

Thinking of this, Yangzhou Governor Roben didn't dare to hesitate any longer, arched his hand vigorously, and promised loudly, "Zhegong and Shangong said very well, Xiaguan's vision is finally shallow, and after Xiaguan returns to Yangzhou, he immediately starts to arrange the school enrollment and enrollment for the coming year." ”

"The old man of Huai'an Mansion will arrange it personally, and Gaoyou Mansion will have to bother the commander." Lu Lu Zeng stroked his beard and made arrangements with a smile, "The three of us don't know how to lead troops to fight, but we have to handle the source of grain and grass for the general manager in the back." ”

"Baigong Technical School, I still have to bother Huang's main work." Su Mingzhe Xun took over the conversation and assigned tasks to Huang Lao, the director of the Industrial Bureau, "There is also the Great Craftsman Academy, the improvement of muskets and artillery must be grasped quickly, the Fifth Army Song Changshi and the students who participated in the war all thought that although the Shenji gun had a long range, it was troublesome to load, complicated to hit, and it was easy to dumb fire in rainy and foggy days, and it was like a chicken rib on the battlefield, and the role of the four-pound cannon was getting smaller and smaller, and the effect of scaring people was greater than killing. ”

"Yes." Lu Luzeng and Su Mingzhe were two people, and they got up one after another to receive the order.

"Money is not a problem, if you need it, even if you two say that the Metropolitan Governor left a message before the expedition, whoever is missing cannot be missing from the Industrial Bureau and the Great Craftsman's Academy." Su Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction, and continued to tell Huang Laowei and Jiao Yu, both of whom were picked up by Chief Manager Zhu, and their loyalty was absolutely unquestionable, but they were slightly lacking in skills, and they were becoming more and more unable to keep up with the overall pace of the Great Governor's Mansion.

Hearing this, Huang Lao Crooked and Jiao Yu both had red eyes, gritted their teeth and swore an oath, "Please tell the governor that within three months, we will definitely solve the problem of the Divine Machine, and if we can't do it, we will be willing to accept any punishment." ”

"There is no need to mention the word punishment." Su Mingzhe glanced at the two of them again, and shook his head with a smile, "You also know that the temperament of our family governor has never been difficult for our old people, but our old people also have to raise their faces for him, otherwise, no matter how big or small the matter is, he has to do it himself to solve it, so that other brothers can think of us." ”

The tone of these words is very relaxed, but the content weighs more than 10,000 catties, the hundred workshops and the master craftsman institute are all established under the personal guidance of Zhu Chongjiu, and now the role and status in the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion are getting heavier and heavier, but the initial plate armor, artillery, until the latest launch of the wire drawing machine and the god machine, almost all of them have been leading everyone to do it, and the masters, craftsmen and ordinary craftsmen who have taken so much money are basically doing miscellaneous work, and they rarely can come up with a new weapon independently. Or independently open a new machine.

When Huang Laowei and Jiao Yu heard this, they were even more ashamed in their hearts, they both arched their hands, and said loudly: "Su Changshi doesn't mention it, we also know that our own catties and taels, there is no other way, we can only make up for it with diligence, if it really comes to the moment when we can't do it, we will never dare to go down to the corpse vegetarian meal, and we will live up to the grace of the Metropolitan Governor." ”、

"You don't have to say it so strictly, you just work hard, whether you lack money or things, I will do my best to bear it for everyone." Su Mingzhe wanted this attitude, nodded, and smiled comfortingly.

The three of them talked lively, Zhang Song, the director of the internal security department, but the more he listened, the hotter his eyes became, he defected in December last year, his qualifications were shallower than anyone here, but he did all the work that offended people, so he was very concerned about his own sense of existence, and he coughed deliberately, and then stepped forward and said: "The gunsmith surnamed Zhao who was taken away from the Hundred Workshops five days ago has already confessed, he has a brother who works under Zhu Chongba, and a few months ago Zhu Chongba also imitated our Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, opened a hundred workshops and gave his brother the title of general Zhaowu, and his brother wanted to repay Zhu Chongba's kindness with death, so he sent someone to bring a letter and ask him to help find out how to cast the cannon lighter and have a longer range. ”

"Hmm." Su Mingzhe frowned unhappily, "I know, I will deal with this matter myself later." ”

"Long history, Huang has no way to control it, and he is willing to lead the army." Huang Lao Crooked was slapped in the face in public when his heart was at its hottest, his eyes were red, and he bowed down to plead guilty.

"The surname Zhao is not your own son, you have a bullshit military law." Mr. Su was angry again, and felt that Huang Lao was pitiful, shook his head, and scolded with a smile, "Besides, it's not the first time that our artillery making technique has been stolen. ”

After scolding, after all, it was not good to protect the other party too much, thought about it, and continued to add: "It's still that we all see far at the beginning, we can't prevent others from stealing, but we can always be one step ahead, as long as we don't always think of a trick to eat fresh for a lifetime, it's nothing terrible, and"

Turning his head to Zhang Song, his voice turned cold suddenly, "Send the craftsman who eats inside and out, as well as his whole family, to dig coal, when will the governor come back, convict him, and when will he be dealt with according to the law, as for Zhu Chongba's fine work, he cut off his head, and then sent the head back to Zhu Chongba, and by the way, ask him what he wants." ”

Note 1: There is a small success in learning, according to the record of "The Book of Rites and Learning": On learning to make friends, it is called a small success; "That is to say, there are independent opinions and the ability to choose friends, which is Xiaocheng, which means that the basic knowledge and skills have been mastered.
