"I've seen Chen Langzhong! Congratulations to Chen Langzhong, congratulations to Chen Langzhong, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you have become a high-ranking official of the fifth grade! ”

Chen Fei took the initiative to say to the person who congratulated him: "Lao Ning! Now how is your Qiushi Academy? ”

This person is Ning Shuyu, that is, the actual administrator of Qiushi Academy, and Chen Fei is just an inspector. Although Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to Qiushi Academy, he let Princess Wanchun invest a lot of money in it, even if it was the income that Chen Fei obtained from the fiefdom, he also invested a lot. Even next, there was Wu Yun, and the coal merchants in Shuo County also began to invest in this Qiushi Academy, so the funds for this Qiushi Academy are still very sufficient. Therefore, if nothing else, as long as Qiushi Academy does not die, the speed of development will be very fast.

And just half a month ago, Chen Fei passed through the carrier pigeon in Chang'an and sent a message to Qiushi Academy. Because Qiushi Academy is something that Chen Fei is more concerned with, he also spent money to set up a pigeon station for him, which can deliver letters. And Ning Shuyu, the mountain chief of Qiushi Academy, received Chen Fei's call, and immediately rode a fast horse to feel Chang'an and came to meet Chen Fei.

"Chen Langzhong, under your cultivation, our Qiushi Academy currently has 20,000 young students. And according to Chen Langzhong's proposal, we did not go to the core of the scholar clan in Shandong to develop, mainly in the Shanxi generation, so that we have now begun to develop at a speed that has swept Shanxi. And now we have a shortage of some teachers, and we have even advanced Chen Langzhong's plan, so that some excellent students take the initiative to help teachers to manage students, and even help students learn. Ning Shuyu said.

Chen Fei heard this, this Ning Shuyu was still more obedient. Chen Fei warned that at this stage, do not try to develop in Shandong, where is the base camp of the scholars. And Qiushi Academy should be based in Shanxi, or even in the northwest, which is a vacuum area for the strength of the scholars. Although there are scholars here, their strength is not very strong. As long as it can develop in the northwest, it will completely and gradually erode Shandong. And because of the abundant funds and Ning Shuyu's great appetite, this Qiushi Academy has developed in a snowballing way, which is simply a rumor. Pins are no different.

After graduating in four to six years, these students must work for Qiushi College for about two years, mainly as teachers. And this can be like a biography. A steady stream of teachers was produced, and eventually it spread to the whole country. And because of the cheap supply of paper and pen and ink, it is even more of a booster. At this time, as long as you don't die, you will develop in Shandong. caused a resolute backlash from the scholars, then everything can still be slow.

"How many people are engaged in Confucianism and how many are engaged in agriculture now?" Chen Fei asked.

Ning Shuyu took the initiative to say: "According to Chen Langzhong's plan, only one-tenth of the people will engage in a higher level of Confucianism. After that, one-tenth of them were engaged in Confucianism, and the rest were engaged in agriculture. And we will teach according to their needs and their own will. Start with people who have good grades after four years, if they want to study Confucianism. Then they can enter the subjects of Confucianism. And if they don't want to, then they will be made up according to the results from the back who are willing. And some of these people who study Confucianism will strive to enter the imperial court institutions of higher learning such as Taixue or Simenxue in the future, and then strive to take the official examination. In this way, we Qiushi Academy also have the care of officials. It's not so stressful. ”

Ning Shuyu's plan was also given by Chen Fei, and these students who studied Confucianism were probably able to complete six years of study at the age of twelve to sixteen, and then they could be funded by the academy as appropriate to enter the country's Taixue and Four Disciplines of Higher Education to study knowledge. And if you want to stay in school, you can do it. Then you can study and learn. As for a few years later, they can also go to the imperial examination, and at that time they are twenty to thirty years old. That is, about eight to ten years later. Qiushi Academy was also able to have a group of people enter the officialdom through the imperial examination. In this way, Qiushi College is their alma mater, and they naturally have to take care of these alma mater people. Moreover, if they are all graduates of Qiushi Academy, they are naturally a group of political allies, and they will even form alliances against those scholars in the future.

Chen Fei spared no effort in order to extract the foundation of the scholar clan. Not only are they drawing salaries from the bottom of the economic structure, but they are also seizing positions on the superstructure, so that in twenty years, the gentry will begin to collapse like an avalanche. At that time, the productivity will be greatly increased, and on the other hand, the superstructure of the government and the court will be full of their political opponents, and they are not far from collapse.

"During this time, has anyone come to you for bad luck? How do you deal with these people who come to find bad luck? Chen Fei asked.

"Yes, there were quite a few, but then they suddenly disappeared inexplicably. I think it seems that the upper echelons of the court have made a move to make them disappear. And those officials who mischievous for us were all transferred by the imperial court and were not able to stay. And many of them were promoted from the original scribes, so that they did not continue to come to us for bad luck, but would send us something during the holidays, which was considered condolences. Ning Shuyu replied.

Chen Fei guessed that this should be the upper echelons of the imperial court, especially Du Ruhui. The transfer of these officials must have something to do with Du Ruhui, the secretary of the ministry. The imperial court needs a large number of scholars from poor families, and then squeezes these scholars out of the officialdom, so those scholars will naturally find ways to find them unlucky, and the imperial court will stop it. This is actually a local struggle, but it does not affect the overall situation. And Ning Shuyu chose to develop in the northwest generation, where the strength of the scholar clan was weak, so as soon as the imperial court made a slight move, they couldn't resist at all. If it was in Shandong, then this Qiushi Academy would not be able to do it at all, and it would be directly cleaned up by those scholars.

"Okay, Ning Shuyu, one of the things I'm going to tell you today is about vocational education. Vocational education, but it is related to our national economy and people's livelihood, you should not underestimate it! Chen Fei said.

Ning Shuyu frowned, obviously not knowing what Chen Fei's vocational education meant. (To be continued......)
