Chapter 273: A Hundred Years of Plan

Since he decided to stay in Yangzhou as a hostage, Shen Wansan had to tell his son more, and the father and son talked with candles until dawn, and then yawned and fell asleep.

On the same night, the same sleepless people, as well as Zhu Chongjiu and Luo Ben, Huang Lao, Xu Da, Yu Changlin and other Huaiyang cores, in the evening, Shen Fu suddenly promised hundreds of thousands of stone grain, to everyone suddenly pushed open a window, let them be pleasantly surprised to see that in a short period of time, the food crisis has a hope of solving, although relying on bold businessmen, from the Nanyang sea to ship grain, after all, is not a long-term solution, but after relieving this breath, Huaiyang merchants can form their own fleet, from Haimen Port directly south to occupy the city, and once Wang Kerou and Zhang Shicheng gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, they can also send food over continuously.

Otherwise, even if the Huai'an army is brave and the Grand Governor's Mansion relies on selling artillery and glass and other things in exchange for more wealth, once the food supply continues to be in short supply, the entire Huaiyang region will be devastated, after all, gold, silver and artillery cannot be eaten, and no matter how brave the soldiers are, it is impossible to go hungry to fight the enemy.

On the one hand, grain is an indispensable thing, on the other hand, it is the lowest value-added trading object, and the core of the great governor's mansion who has experienced the impact of primitive waterwheels and forging hammers and other things clearly understand this truth, a steel shovel that can be sold for four or five hundred wen on the market, under the forging of small water hammers, only takes three or five breaths to form, and four or five hundred wen, in a normal year, is enough to buy one stone of rice.

One acre of rice, the best year of the yield is only four stones, a farmer in his own ten acres of land busy for a whole year, after paying all kinds of taxes, under the condition of the government extremely clean, can fall into the hands of only more than 20 stone rice, and an apprentice in the workshop using a small water hammer, can make at least 30 shovels every hour, not even sweat.

In other words, if both sides are in an ideal state, the money that an apprentice blacksmith can earn to the governor's office every hour is equivalent to a farmer working in the fields for a whole year, and ten stone of rice is transported hundreds of miles away, and people eat and chew horses, and at least ten percent of the shovels are carried by the traders, but they can easily go on the road without losing a penny of weight for hundreds of miles.

In the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, no one is a fool, and the relevant accounts are calculated very clearly, the reason why they have stood up to dissuade Zhu Chongjiu before was because he was worried that he would build a pavilion in the air, and now, the foundation of grain has finally been settled, and all the previous reasons for opposition will inevitably be self-defeating.

"Old man, the old man seems to be really old, you say this, the old man doesn't understand, and he has never experienced it, the old man tries not to pull the hind legs of you juniors." Lu Lu once pushed down the tortoiseshell shelf reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and sighed, since his grandson-in-law Zhu Chongjiu gave this thing to himself, the world in front of Lao Jinshi's eyes has become several times brighter, and what was not clear can now be seen.

The eight bureaus and one courtyard under the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion, the Lu family has mastered the most important officials, and the most long-term influence, accounting for two-ninths, the harem of the Grand Governor, so far, there is only one granddaughter, so much influence, what is not satisfied with him, the grandson-in-law has done some things, so he will try his best to persuade him, if he does have his own reasons and plans, why should the Lu family show his existence in a public way, that is not the reason for being a relative of the emperor, Nor is it the principle of being a courtier.

"It is also appropriate to draw the section of the river and bay facing the sandbank, as in Huai'an before, and make an independent workshop area." Compared with Lu Zeng, Su Mingzhe is more of a follow-up to Zhu Chongjiu, he has average knowledge and limited ability, he can always occupy the position of the governor of the palace, and always hold the money bag in the Huaiyang area, completely relying on seniority and loyalty, so not only does he never make trouble for Zhu Chongjiu, who dares to make trouble now, he will not hesitate to pounce on it, biting the other party all over the body, "In the past, when I was in Huai'an, the ministers had the experience of running a workshop for painting films, and now they have copied it, but it is enlarged a little, It's just that there are more workshops accommodated, and neither funding nor manpower is a problem. ”

"If you build a new city on the other side of Jiangwan, if something happens in the future, Jiangwan and Yangzhou can be horns of each other!" Chen Ji has never said much when he joined the army, but he is quite insightful every time, and he can always make people's eyes shine.

Xu Da immediately took over his words and added loudly: "It would be better if we could organize the victims, dig a waterway, and connect the canal with the river, all the products in the workshop can be directly transported back to Yangzhou by water, and in case of a warning from Jiangwan, Yangzhou City can immediately transfer troops from the waterway." ”

"The matter of digging waterways and building new cities is covered below." Prefect Robben glanced at Su Mingzhe and responded very carefully, "As long as Director Su can ensure that the money and food are sufficient, there are idlers in Yangzhou City." ”

"As long as the general manager gives an order, the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Industry will go all out, if, if at that time, at that time, everyone will be pulled back, then, only, only small, the villain is asked." Huang Lao, who has changed his name to Huang Zheng, stammered and expressed his position, jumping from a foreman to the head of a bureau, he was more worried than anyone else, and always felt that if he delayed the affairs of the general manager because he did not do well enough, he would be the sinner of the Huai'an Army through the ages, and he would die a hundred times, and his sins would not be atonement.

Not only him, but now all the officials in the entire work bureau, as well as all the stewards and foremen in the workshops, have similar thoughts in their hearts, in a few months, at most only a year and a half ago, everyone is just a lowly craftsman, let alone food and clothing, even the most basic personal freedom has never been obtained, a casual sentence above can make himself even people and their families have to leave their hometowns, and turn around like goods, but in the case of Mr. Zhu, everyone has been paid handsomely, and they have never dreamed of freedom. There are also other people's respect from the heart, dare to ask, what reason do they have not to do their best for the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion and the Huai'an Army wholeheartedly.

You must know that at present, the apprentices in the government-run workshops have risen to two wages per month, as long as they survive the seemingly severe probationary period, this bowl of rice can be eaten for almost a lifetime, and the matchmaker can step through the threshold, and if the Tartar soldiers come over, the eyes will be instantly wiped out, and the family property, status, dignity, and wives and children have all become the spoils of the conquerors, and they will once again become a group of slaves, a group of stupid donkeys who work blindfolded and work to death.

"The lower officials have already found a good teaching for the county and government schools, and they can officially start classes as soon as the school building is dry." Although you are Zhu Chongjiu's father-in-law, Lu Kun is in front of everyone, but he keeps the rules and never puts on a stand for his relatives, "In addition, the county and government schools in Gaoyou, Taizhou and Xinghe have also arranged for competent people to restore the school, and the head of Chuzhou Mao, too, also wrote a letter to ask the chief manager's office to send someone to restore the education, and the lower officials just received the letter this evening, and they didn't have time to ask the chief manager for instructions." ”

After Mao Gui got the plaster land of half of Yangzhou Road, he has always been very reluctant in his heart, so he tried in every possible way to narrow the distance with the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion.

Since Mao Gui has done this part, Zhu Chongjiu will be hypocritical if he pushes three times and four times, so he doesn't want to think about it, he waved his big hand, and ordered with a smile, "Promise him directly, no questions, but give the student money, food and clothes, he will pay for it himself, and when this imperial examination is over, you can start to help him do it." ”

"The subordinate obeys." Lu Liang arched his hand and agreed loudly, there is a way, whose bowl is served, whose love is read, the subsidy money and food for the students in Chuzhou are from Mao Gui, and the favor is naturally Mao Gui's own, Huaiyang is just helping to build a shelf, and he did not take the opportunity to get any benefits.

"In addition to imitating the old system of the Great Song Dynasty and opening county and government schools, the social studies that were once opened in Mengyuan were also run in the city." Zhu Chongjiu never thought of making anyone easy, thought about it, and continued to instruct, "It's called primary school, not rice and clothes, every day at noon, the school can provide a free meal, open Chinese, mathematics two subjects, the former is responsible for enlightenment, the latter is responsible for letting the children learn to count and settle accounts, so that when the primary school is completed, you can enter the county school, and after the county school is completed, you can participate in the imperial examination, the best will enter the local government, and the unsuccessful will continue to go to the government to return to the furnace, if you are tired of reading, Huaiyang business, They can also find a suitable spot on their own. ”

"Here" The step was a little big, and Lu Kun pondered for a while before he caught up with his train of thought, "The chief manager means that anyone's child, as long as he wants to read, can go to read, read that elementary school enlightenment,." ”

"Yes." Zhu Chongjiu nodded, and confirmed loudly, "If you need money and food, even if you go to Mr. Su to get it, within three months, the household bureau must ensure that there is a primary school for me in every county, I estimate that there are not many people who are willing to send children to study at the beginning, but once someone tastes the sweetness, the students will gradually increase, in addition, Yangzhou and Huai'an, you might as well make the primary school bigger, after the school is completed, the children of officials at all levels, including the children of all formal craftsmen in the workshop, as long as the age is not more than fourteen years old, And if you haven't studied in a private school, you have to give me a primary school to study, if anyone dares to let the child continue to be wild at home, or to work as a small worker to make money, there is no need to report, and the directors at all levels will directly fire him to Lao Tzu. ”

"Thank you for your grace." Without waiting for Lu Kun to reply, Su Mingzhe and Huang Lao Crooked had already knelt down, bowing to worship, they all crawled out of the bottom of the society, they knew their own hardships, in the past, the children of supernumerary officials and craftsmen studied, even if they gave enough bundles, those private school gentlemen, will also look at each other coldly, without him, the status of the father is low, and the child is also looked down upon, and now, the governor of the capital runs a primary school, but it is pointed out that the children of officials and craftsmen must be enrolled. I can't repay enough.

"Get up, get up, didn't you say it a long time ago, our Huai'an Army, don't bow down." Zhu Chongjiu was taken aback by the actions of the two, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to help, "What should have been done a long time ago is just that I was attacked from all sides before, and I didn't have the kung fu or the financial resources to think about this, but now I finally breathe a sigh of relief, and I can't let the children of the big guy continue to be blind." ”

"Governor, Governor, Woo, Woo, Woo!" Su Mingzhe was okay, he was excited for a while, and his mood calmed down, but Huang Lao Crooked took Zhu Chongjiu's hand, and tears fell down in strings, Hengshi, the son of a scholar, Hengshang, the son of a businessman, and the son of a craftsman, can only be a craftsman in this life, this is a rule that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and everyone has already accepted their fate, but they didn't expect that their grandchildren would still learn to read and write, learn to settle accounts, and do it from the imperial examination examiner.

"Pontus doesn't just send them to primary school." Seeing Huang Lao's crooked crying appearance, Zhu Chongjiu was also very emotional, patted him, and continued to announce loudly, "You can also go to the county school, after the county school is completed, if you want to continue to study, you can continue, if you don't want to study, if you want your son to inherit his father's business, we can also set up a hundred technical schools at that time, and now they can learn to defend themselves by all kinds of means in the workshop. ”

"The villain, the villain will never dare." Huang Laowei immediately blushed, wiped his tears, and promised loudly, "Villain, villain used to be ignorant, since he was said by the governor once, he has completely changed, if you don't believe it, you can go down and check." ”

"You don't have to look it up, I believe you are." Zhu Chongjiu smiled, waved his hand gently, Huang Lao's crooked vision was narrow, when he was in charge of the workshop, he always hid his secrets, and after he was promoted to the director of the Hundred Works Bureau, his problems did not get better, but people are not perfect, he does not need to find faults, and in this era, it is a tradition for masters to teach their disciples to hide their secrets, and they can't change it for a while.

Only like later generations, let the technical schools bloom everywhere, maybe can completely reverse these bad habits, and whether it is a technical school, a county school, or a martial arts hall in preparation, is the foundation of the future of the Huaiyang Governor's Office, although with the current ability to run a school, these schools, the top of the day can reach the level of junior high school in later generations, but with a thousand junior high school students, he will be able to Huaiyang all over the grass-roots officials, as well as the Huai'an army in the middle and low-level generals, completely replace a place, at that time, the entire Huaiyang region support system, will be firmly marked by the new era, and those scholars cultivated by the gentry of the old era will either be completely integrated or eliminated, and there is no third way to choose.
