"Everyone, I'm about to return to Chang'an to report on my work, and you can all be promoted, I congratulate you all here!" Chen Fei said.

"Rejoice and rejoice, Chen County has ordered you to return to Chang'an now to report on your work, are you going to be promoted?" Yang Jiaxiang asked.

"Hehe, there is no shadow, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Fei said.

However, Chen Fei didn't talk much nonsense, just said: "Next, let's arrange the next development direction of Shuo County, that is, to develop the people's livelihood." In the future, you should give more consideration to the people's livelihood, which is to reduce the people's living burden and reduce the people's expenses without lowering the people's living standards. In addition, it is necessary to increase the income of the people, so that the people can have more money to enjoy. And I have a very good statistical method, that is, to count the proportion of people's expenditure on food procurement to the income of the year, which is the best way to reflect the prosperity of the people. Now I have counted, it is about 50 percent, which is barely at the level of being well-off. ”

Chen Fei next introduced the statement about Engel's coefficient, and everyone nodded their heads.

"Chen County Ling rest assured, we will work hard in the next step to make the people's livelihood better and better. And then we will immediately prepare about giving birth to pregnant women, as well as the confinement of these pregnant women after giving birth, so that they can have a good birth. Next, with the development of people's livelihood, more and more children will be able to do so! Zhang Mingde said.

After talking about people's livelihood, Chen Fei talked about education.

"Ning Shuyu, your Qiushi Academy is now the largest academy in Shuo County, and even among all the academies in the world, it is very large-scale. There are more than 1,000 students, which is unique among all the academies in the world. But this is not enough, I hope that you can gradually expand the academy in the future, and then expand to the entire territory of Datang. Then let all the children of the world be able to read. If you lack funds, then you can naturally send someone to Chang'an to ask Princess Wanchun for it, and you don't have to be too polite. We will not despise you. Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei still attaches great importance to the issue of education, and the century-old plan is education-oriented. This is not something to be said casually. Since ancient times, if any country wants to develop, hasn't it attached importance to education? Now Chen Fei has opened the subject of agriculture, and more disciplines will be opened in the future. Or subdivide each discipline again, so that more disciplines can gradually form their own systems, and finally develop well. This may be the originator of modern sub-disciplinary education, which can cultivate talents in various fields of science and engineering.

And Chen Fei also used Kong Yingda's name to make his Qiushi Academy able to resist a lot of external influences, so Chen Fei was not worried that this academy would be suppressed by others. Kong Yingda is very different from other scholars. Other scholars hope that the fewer educated people the better, but Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius, hopes to receive as many educated as possible. When the time comes, everyone in the world will learn Confucianism, and he, a descendant of Confucius, and the entire Confucian family will become more and more valuable!

"Chen Xianling is assured that in addition to opening academies in Shuo County, we will gradually open branches in different places. Next, we will get bigger and bigger in the future, and we can gradually move towards Chang'an. Ning Shuyu said.

Chen Fei immediately said: "No, no, no, you are within ten years, it is best not to go to Chang'an!" ”

"Oh? Why? Ning Shuyu asked.

Chen Fei immediately said: "If you go directly to Chang'an. An is also declaring war with the official school, and now you are not the opponent of the official school. So you have to build up your strength, starting with the local first. After accumulating enough hundreds of thousands of students, they will be able to go to Chang'an. If you don't have enough strength and power to think about going to Chang'an, you will inevitably be thought by the officials that you are going to grab business, and they will definitely suppress you. Therefore, within ten years, it is the time for you to accumulate strength, and you must not be easily confused by the momentary results and rashly go to Chang'an. ”

What Chen Fei introduced is the model of the countryside surrounding the city, if this Qiushi Academy goes directly to Chang'an, then I am afraid that it will be considered by those officials and schools to rob business. It will definitely crowd out and suppress. And Chen Fei took advantage of the fact that the government did not pay attention to local basic education, and seized the blank area in time. Then, after accumulating enough power, it will gradually go to Chang'an, the capital of the country.

The reason why Chen Fei's Qiushi Academy was able to snowball to more than 1,000 students in one year, and the speed of "snowballing" is getting faster and faster. Maybe it won't be a few years before there will be tens of thousands of students. This is very remarkable, of course, in addition to Chen Fei's support and Ning Shuyu's efforts, the main thing is the market gap. Now the Tang Dynasty only attaches importance to higher education, and for basic education, it is simply a blank. Although there are managed schools such as county schools and state schools, these schools are not only expensive, but also have little government investment and are not taken seriously. This has also caused a shortage of local education, and Chen Fei's Qiushi Academy has been able to develop like a snowball.

Of course, Chen Fei hopes that Ning Shuyu will take advantage of this opportunity that the government does not pay attention to, and if you go directly to Chang'an, then I am afraid that people will pay attention to you. Therefore, you must accumulate strength, if you can have hundreds of thousands of students to study with you, the government will definitely not be able to suppress you at that time. And maybe Li Shimin, the emperor, will also secretly support the development of this Qiushi Academy, because he also hopes to break the cultural blockade of the family and let more people learn enough culture to be able to squeeze the family out of the officialdom.

"Okay, I'll listen to Chen County's order!" Ning Shuyu said.

Finally, what everyone didn't expect was that Chen Fei actually summoned Zeng Qing before leaving office.

"Chen County Order, what are you asking me to do?" Zeng Qing asked.

Zeng Qing also felt a little "flattered", Chen Fei actually called himself before leaving office, indicating that he valued himself.

"Zeng Qing, how is coal mining recently?" Chen Fei asked.

Zeng Qing immediately said: "It's not bad, I can make tens of thousands of honeycomb coal every day, and I have begun to sell it to the surrounding state capitals." Now the places near Shuozhou have gradually adopted honeycomb coal, and they have also given up firewood. We didn't give up on those woodcutters, and we all stayed behind those who could change careers to help us make honeycomb coal. If it is not suitable, we will also try our best to arrange work for them, and we will not let Chen County embarrass you. ”

"Okay, you do this coal mine business well, this coal mine business is promising! You'd better keep doing it, even if there are difficulties, try your best to overcome them, the coal mining industry has great potential! Chen Fei said.

Chen Fei didn't say much, just let this Zeng Qing continue to persevere, because Chen Fei knew the effect of the coal mining industry deeply. There are few coal mines in the world that have a more promising future, so Chen Fei persuaded this Zeng Qing to persevere. (To be continued) R655
