Chapter 474: The Team

After running for more than ten days in a row, Xu Wei had two major gains, the first was that he lost more than 20 pounds, his stomach was a big circle, and the excess skin fell deeply, which was very weird, so that he had to do sit-ups frantically, striving to get the skin back as soon as possible. As for the second one, that is, Xu Wei no longer hates.

In the past, he had such a cynical smell, feeling that he was the most unlucky, and God was too unfair to him. It wasn't until he met Tang Yi, was admitted to Jinshi, and was given a special gift by Jiajing, becoming a Shujishi, a noble Hanlin, Xu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, there was always a pimple in his heart.

These days, the thorn in Xu Wei's heart disappeared without a trace, not to mention, and he was even a little ashamed.

There are millions of people who read books in the world, God gave him a smart mind, so that he could meet Qian Dehong, a famous teacher like Wang Ji, and he was lucky to have the opportunity to read a lot of books and participate in the imperial examination.

Take Hangzhou as an example, how many books have been read until their hair is gray, and they can't even get into the show, and they have devoted their efforts to the imperial examination, but the articles written are unsightly.

To participate in a general examination, the normal cost is more than 100 taels of silver, even if it is a child's test, buying Shiwen, registration, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it will also cost a few taels of silver.

Xu Wei saw with his own eyes that some people had spent all their savings for generations because of their participation in the imperial examination, and the family was helpless, crammed into a poor thatched hut, and the children did not even have winter clothes.

Then give up the imperial examination and find another way to make a living, right?

It's not easy to say, after reading books all my life, my body is broken, I can't carry a basket on my shoulders, I can't carry a basket in my hands, my eyes are spent, and I can only live by writing and calculating.

Even some big families. is not exempt from vulgarity, obviously has no interest in the imperial examination, but he is forced to follow the path of the imperial examination, the father and son fall out, the brother is overturned, needless to say the bitter water inside.

It boils down to a word. There are too few ways out for scholars, and there are almost no other options except for Haoshou and the poor, and fame is everything to them!

And now, there is finally a dawn of change.

Tang Yi proposed to expand Mongolian studies and prepare for the construction of three university halls, which immediately captured everyone's hearts.

Those poor families who have no money to pay for it, don't worry, there is no tuition fee for Mongolian education. A free lunch is also provided, and for three years, it is enough for gifted students to complete the literacy task. If you have talent and ability, you will go to the imperial examination. If you don't, you can be admitted to the three universities and study hard. After five years, I have learned my skills. It's enough to go out and get a decent job.

Raise your family and live a well-off life.

The three major colleges of finance and economics, translation, and law are not only highly targeted, but also have a large enrollment scale for the talents they have cultivated.

Take the School of Finance and Economics, for example. In the first semester, there were more than 1,200 students, and in addition to the formal school system, adult education was also added, which was mainly aimed at experienced scribes, bookkeepers, copywriters, etc., and their school duration was one to three years. After completing the study, I can get a graduation certificate, and my value has risen significantly. Moreover, with his academic qualifications, he can also participate in the selection and employment examination of the municipal department, and have the opportunity to become a glorious petty official.

This is almost the addition of a silver bridge beyond the golden avenue of the imperial examination. After some publicity, not only Hangzhou, but also other places were alarmed. Especially in Tang Yi's hometown of Suzhou, Shaoxing, where there are many scholars, many people wrote petitions and jointly wrote to Hu Zongxian and Tan Lun, asking for it to be handled in Hangzhou.

Make Hu Zongxian a lawsuit, Tang Yi, your name is troublesome!

Everywhere I went, there was a lot of controversy, what do I want to do, I have to deal with Wang Zhi with all my might, I don't have time to wipe your ass.

Hu Zongxian sent these petitions to the prefect's yamen, and Tang Yi did not expect that it would have such a big impact.

After thinking about it, the effect of large-scale education is absolutely amazing, and one day, it will even challenge the thousand-year-old imperial examination system, which is also part of the long-term layout.

It's just that it's not appropriate to get into the ups and downs for the time being, and if you do it quickly, there will definitely be problems, and when the time comes, it's not beautiful to smash the signboard.

However, the demands of various places could not be ignored, Tang Yi brought Xu Wei a few times, discussed them carefully, and finally decided that seventy-five of the places in the three major halls would be reserved for Hangzhou, and the other twenty-five would be reserved for students from other provinces.

Tang Yi also personally wrote an article explaining that the talent training of the three universities is aimed at the city and overseas trade, and those who are not interested in this aspect should not participate, and any attempt may fail, and wait until the Hangzhou experiment is successful, and then decide whether to promote it.

He also raised a lot of technical issues, such as curriculum design, teacher sources, and other difficulties at hand.

After pondering it all over the place, what he said was right, it is better to wait and see what the Tang champion can toss.

Of course, there are also a group of bold people, who packed their bags and ran to Hangzhou, preparing to become the first batch of members of the Three Universities, among which most of them are Xinxuemen.

Since November, the streets of Hangzhou have been bustling, with scholars from all over the country gathering, which is even more lively than the township test.

Tang Yi ran a big school, and not everyone slapped him, and a group of officials wrote a book, thinking that this was buying people's hearts, and his ambition was not small. Learn literature and martial arts, sell goods to the emperor's family, and all the scholars in the world should take Kuang Fu Sheji as their own responsibility, such as the three university halls, and clearly serve the merchants, which is simply insulting and corrupting the teaching of the saints......

After these performances were sparse, before the imperial court had any opinions on how to deal with it, the faction that supported Tang Yi would not do it.

As Bingchenke's classmates ended their political observations, they entered six departments and 13 provinces, and became a part of the Ming bureaucracy. Tang Yi, as their squad leader and role model, is absolutely amazing in Bingchenke's appeal.

There was no need to speak, and these people went to the book one after another.

For example, Zhu Dazhu pointed out that there is no class in teaching, which is the proposition of the sage, and the master only accepts 3,000 disciples to have the foundation of Confucianism. At present, there are millions of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and the state and county schools cannot meet the demand, and it is a natural move to run more schools.

Tao Dalin followed suit, and he proposed that the three university halls in Hangzhou were aimed at cultivating talents for the city. The city boss took on the heavy responsibility of increasing taxes for the imperial court, and could not let the horses run and not give the horses grazing. In the past, because of the lack of practical talents, the city and shipping companies had to outsource the tax to businessmen for disposal, resulting in a serious loss of finance and taxes. What the Tang prefect is doing now is a move to seek the country, with good intentions.

Zou Yinglong, who had just taken over the imperial history, also went to the book, and his angle was not the same as the above two.

Zou Yinglong is a native of Lanzhou, born in poverty, and took the exam for more than ten years before he barely passed the top three jinshi, compared with Tang Yi and others, his road to the imperial examination is more bitter. Compared to Xu Wei, it is not far behind.

Zou Yinglong used his personal experience to tell that the imperial examination was difficult, and that there was no one in ten thousand who could complete this road, and how many people died with regret in the midst of poverty and illness.

The three halls do not affect the right path of the imperial examination, but only give students with slightly less qualified qualifications a way to make a living, what's wrong? As for ill-intentionedness. Zou Yinglong said bluntly, since ancient times. Who has ever seen a rebellion against a bunch of bookkeepers and pen-and-knife clerks......

Zou Yinglong's letter caused a great shock, and he successfully aroused the worries of many court officials, although they were high school jinshi, but no one could guarantee that their relatives and friends could be admitted to the jinshi. It's important to give them a way to live, if Tang Yi Daxing School. If it is done, they will also benefit in the future.

Thinking about it carefully, although Tang Yi's actions are unusual, he is on the side of most scholars, and it is really difficult to oppose it.

These controversies also reached Jiajing's ears. For Emperor Daojun, these are nothing, isn't it just a Hangzhou mansion and three schools!

No matter how fierce the toss is, it's not a big deal, the pass is silver, and it's to get the city well done!

But after all the ups and downs, and he couldn't ignore it, Jiajing left all the folds on both sides and didn't send them, and wrote four big characters separately: Educate talents for the country.

Let people send Hangzhou over, the emperor's attitude could not be clearer, and all the discussions gradually subsided.

Qin Cha sent Jiajing's imperial pen to Hangzhou, exactly the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and the day before, the results of the entrance examinations of the three major colleges had just been announced.

In total, more than 4,600 people were admitted, of which 2,500 were full-time students. The rest are adult classes, many of them praise Tang Yi's stinky feet, and want to get an official position in the city, Tang Yi is happy to see it, those who criticize him are at least right, Tang Yi just wants to buy people's hearts and envelop his own forces!

One day, the business elites who came out of the three major academies controlled the lifeblood of industry and commerce, and Tang Yi was their well-deserved grandfather, and this force grew up, and it was definitely enough to subvert the world.

Of course, the future is bright, the road is tortuous, everything starts from scratch, and even basic teachers become a problem. There are too many readers who can recite poetry, and too few who can understand arithmetic and economics.

Tang Yi was almost white-headed, and it wasn't until the last day that he had all the mountain chiefs of the three schools.

One of the most difficult is the School of Translation, as the pride of the country, the talents of the Ming Dynasty disdain to learn the barbarian language! Fortunately, there are exceptions to everything, and Li Xian is a special case, he is proficient in the Chinese language, and he has also mixed with Western missionaries, at least communication is not a problem.

Led by Li Zhen, a few Western businessmen and missionaries were hired, and a few scholars who were interested in Western studies were found, and the School of Translation and Interpretation was finally propped up.

Law school is actually the easiest, not to mention far away, the famous Shaoxing master is well known. Tang Yi handed over the law school to Yang Wenyu, and he hired thirty teachers from Shaoxing and other places in one go.

As for the School of Finance and Economics, Tang Yi has a lot of businessman friends, but these people are not enough to take on the position of the mountain chief, besides, the three major colleges must always have a big man who can handle it, otherwise he will really be looked down upon.

When Tang Yi was worried, three seniors came together, the first was Tang Yi's teacher Wei Liangfu, the second was Qian Dehong, and the third was Wang Ji.

"Hongyuan, if you don't dislike being a teacher, the head of the School of Finance and Economics will leave it to me." Wei Liangfu said confidently: "I have been a magistrate for the teacher for decades, and I am not confused when I keep accounts and settle accounts, and I can save the ability to bring my body to the coffin." ”

Wei Liangfu said with a smile, suddenly looked up, and saw that Tang Yi was a little hesitant, Wei Liangfu couldn't help but sink his face.

"Don't you kid believe in the ability to be a teacher?"

"The disciple doesn't dare." Tang Yi hurriedly said: "The teacher can help the disciple, the disciple is grateful, but when I think that the teacher is old and has to work for the teaching of thousands of people, I really can't bear it, in case the teacher is tired, the disciple is really unfilial." ”

Wei Liangfu said angrily: "It's okay if you have a heart, but being a teacher is not a person who doesn't know the importance of it, the old man is at the helm at most, as for the real teaching, I found a good hand for you, this person is called Cheng Dawei, and his talent in arithmetic is amazing." ”

Tang Yi frowned, this name seemed to have been heard in his previous life, he groaned for a while, slapped his head suddenly, and finally remembered,

This Cheng Dawei is a good man, the usage of the abacus and the mantra of the abacus are all left by him, and there is absolutely no problem for him to teach the School of Finance and Economics.

In this way, all the candidates were finally negotiated, Wei Liangfu was in charge of the School of Finance and Economics, Qian Dehong was in charge of the School of Law, and Wang Yi was in charge of the School of Translation.

With the blessing of these three world-famous university scholars, Tang Yi was completely relieved, the three university halls were set up, and his hardcore team was also there! (To be continued.) )

PS: Everyone's tickets are so powerful, let's have a little more violent, there are at least two more today, and the small ones will be sent as soon as possible!
