In the lobby, the deputy protector of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, sat a little decadently, and beside him, Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of the Xuanfu, also had a heavy face and a solemn expression. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When he arrived in Xuanfu Town in mid-October, Li Banghua's face was much haggard, and his face was much older. During this time, he had a hard time, although he was the deputy protector, but he had no power, Wang Dou didn't nod, he was up and down Xuanzhen, and if he couldn't interfere in anything, he would be suffocated.

Wang Dou's treatment is not short of him, the daily supply of good food and drink, and the monthly receipt of a "subsidy" from the Financial Secretary, but Li Banghua is not a vassal king, he is raised as a pig every day and every month, he is an ambitious person, how can he be so idle and full of food all day long?

But Wang Dou Jinkou didn't open, he could only be idle, unconsciously, the number of times he went to the teahouse also increased, he kind of understood Ma Guoxi's style at that time, there was nothing to do all day, what can he do if he doesn't make a teahouse?

The entourage and family members beside him also went from hope to disappointment, and the farewells and dealers left him one after another.

In the past few months, when he was idle, Li Banghua also walked up and down Xuanfu Town, Wang Dou did not prohibit Li Banghua from walking except for sensitive and critical departments, so that he could understand the strength and power of this place to a higher level, and his mind changed a lot.

What he recalled in his mind was the words that Wei Jingyi, the governor of Datong at that time, said to himself when he said goodbye and returned to Datong Town: "Gong Li, appease the Marquis of Yongning, and bear the burden of humiliation!" ”

Yes, when appeasement is the best, no matter what, the Marquis of Yongning is still good for the people. He didn't pull the flag to rebel, did he? This powerful force is still subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, if the persecution is too much, he will be angry and chaotic, and the Ming Dynasty will be the real catastrophe.

What he can do is to try his best to appease and persuade the Marquis of Yongning to be more loyal, if the dynasty is overthrown, he can send troops to turn the tide and save the Ming Dynasty from fire and water. It is not in vain that he reads the books of the sages.

And. The most important thing is that now I need a job, and at the same time, I can gain Wang Dou's trust while fulfilling my ambitions. Let him be more important to himself. Increase your voice.

Stayed in Xuanfu Town for a few months. He also understood a lot of some popular local words, such as work, right to speak, etc., which Wang Dou had no intention of saying at that time. But in Xuanfu Town, there is a trend, and what is the high-end atmosphere and grade, etc., are all new words in Xuanzhen or Daming.

Li Banghua sat silently and waited, what he was most looking forward to in his heart was that he still wanted to serve in the Department of Education and Control the students and education in Xuanfu Town.

He was in Xuanfu Town for a few months, and what impressed him the most was the education system in Xuanfu Town.

There is a school in every tun, the whole people are educated, there are no households who do not learn, and there are no people who do not learn, which is very shocking.

If Wang Dou is only strong in military power, it is not frightening, after all, the rise is also vigorous, and the death is also sudden, and the military is strong, and there are too many things to spin and destroy.

If it is strong and Mengyuan, without the support of scholars, Hu Yun will not be able to live for a hundred years, but attaching importance to education is a plan related to a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, how can Li Banghua not pay attention to it?

And the education in Xuanfu Town is ......

He remembered that day, he went to a tunbao near the town, which was not far from Wanquan Zuowei, which was a large tun, according to the current division of Xuanfu Town, it was a township unit, and the locals called themselves the city of a thousand households, and the whole township had a population of about more than a thousand households, which was quite a thousand households before.

Li Banghua knew that Xuanfu Town was now not as autonomous as the gentry in the Ming Dynasty, but the government was in charge of local affairs. And if it is like at the beginning of the country, the general system of lieutenants and chiefs will be implemented, or even further level, and the armor protection system will be implemented, so that the armed forces will penetrate into every tun and every place like the inspection department.

The total population of the township is about 12 bao, with hundreds of boys under the age of 10, these boys, all must enter the school to read and write, according to Wang Dou, this is called six-year compulsory education, is compulsory, no one is allowed to disobey, otherwise the head of the household will be arrested to the mine to serve hard labor.

And there is no distinction between the nationality of the government, temporary residence, naturalization, Han nationality, and Yi nationality children and children, all of whom must receive education.

They generally have a school in a township, which Wang Dou calls a primary school, just like the previous Mengxue.

What surprised Li Banghua was that these Mengxue and boys did not charge any fees to go to school, and all food and accommodation were free, how much it would cost.

In addition, there are actually girls' schools in various villages, but because there are different schools for boys and girls, and girls are not forced to go to school, there is no fluctuation.

In Daming, those who have financial resources in the family, in fact, women also receive education, but they just invite Mr. Private School to stay at home. After all, the male protagonist and the female protagonist, the woman from a large family will have to manage the livelihood and finances of her husband's family in the future, how can she do it without reading and reading?

However, at this time, men are still valued, even if they are free, and there are only some wealthy and far-sighted businessmen and wealthy people, and the daughters of officials' wives and families are sent to girls' schools, and there are not many girls enrolled in schools.

According to Li Banghua's inquiry, the most primary schools in Xuanfu Town are all in every township, and there are also middle schools, and there is generally only one along the way. However, Donglu Middle School has the most, with five, and Baoan Zhou has three.

The university is the Xuanfu Town Military Academy, the Civil College, etc., the gathering place of the elite.

The Ming Dynasty is generally enlightened at the age of seven or eight, and then studied hard in the cold window, step by step from the child, Xiucai, lifting people, Jinshi, etc.

Bao Gong was promoted at the age of 29, and he became an official at the age of 39, which is still lucky.

Here in Xuanfu Town, you can enter school at the age of ten or before, and after receiving six years of education, you will graduate at the age of sixteen, and you will be a qualified primary school student.

Xuanzhen has a well-developed business, and there are many technical schools in the local area, especially many commercial houses and factories are supporting these primary school graduates, providing them with a few years of study in technical schools, so that they can work in their own commercial houses after they come out.

However, for these primary school graduates, the people of Xuanzhen are still accustomed to calling them children, and later the official also determined that only schoolchildren who get graduation certificates can be called children. Otherwise, it's just a prospective child.

This is not as good as elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty, as soon as he is enlightened, he is a child, and those who have not been admitted to the show are still children.

Because it is a six-year compulsory education, Xuanfu Town adopts the principle of leniency, and school-age children can go to school, but the graduation examination is stricter.

If you are admitted to a middle school student, you are a quasi-talent, because the admission of middle school students is strict, and more than ninety percent of primary school students will be eliminated. So after they are enrolled. Continuing to provide free education means that these people, who were previously supported by their families, are now officially supported.

If they graduate, they will become full-fledged talents. They were about twenty years old at this time. You can participate in the civil service assessment. Being an official and so on, this is not as good as the Ming Dynasty, and there are some opportunities after the promotion.

It's also because of the popularity of middle school students. The Department of Education later stipulated that the children were allowed to take the exam again, either by studying hard at home or by continuing to study in the school, at which time they would have to charge a fee, and then they could take the exam once a year, three times in a row.

After three times, there is no chance, after all, they can't pass the exam after repeating for so many years, which proves that they are not the material for studying, so there is no need to waste their family's money and food.

It also avoids the fact that the eighty-year-old boy is still taking the Xiucai exam, and his life is wasted like this, harming himself and his family.

The same is true for prospective children who are unable to graduate from primary school, and are allowed to pay for their own food and clothing, and repeat their studies for three years. If you still can't graduate, you won't have a graduation certificate and go home, and you will taste the pain of not working hard and failing.

Those who are more talented and can be admitted to the university are directly promoted to the status of people, and those who graduate are Jinshi, Bao Distribution, and Bao as officials, because they are part of the most elite in Xuanfu Town.

Those who come out of the military academy, outstanding cadets, are directly awarded the rank of cavalry captain, and can be appointed as a team officer, deputy team officer, and ordinary people, awarded the rank of sergeant, and become a captain.

Those who come out of the Civil College enjoy section-level treatment and enter the Tunpu, the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Ministry of Supervision.

This is Wang Dou's education practice in Xuanfu Town, popularizing primary education, paying special attention to the education of new children, and when he reaches the middle school, he is very strict, strict in and out, and can read readers, all of whom are excellent in character and learning.

It also avoids too many high-level intellectuals in the future, not to mention college students walking all over the place, at this time, hundreds of thousands of students in the Ming Dynasty are idle, and there is no way out, which is a great harm.

And after going to university, it is only civil and military, but the primary school and middle school in Xuanfu Town, in fact, there is no distinction between civil and military, they are all regarded as receiving militaristic education, that is, graduating from primary school, in the eyes of many people, they are also people who are both civil and military, and they are high-level talents in their eyes.

……

After learning the details of Xuanfu Town's indoctrination, Li Banghua sighed for a long time, feeling more and more unfathomable about Wang Dou.

In his opinion, the popularization of education in Xuanfu Town, completely overshadowing the most developed land in Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, should be the head of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, but also the system is smooth, up and down orderly, or the direction of the future education of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, this system also encompasses the powerful and elite of the people, and does not worry about the resentment of the people who are left behind.

After all, there has always been anti-thieves, and there is nothing to be afraid of without anyone who reads to join, just like a thief, without Li Yan and others to join, Liu Koer. But the more readers join, the greater the harm, and eventually become the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty.

And Wang Dou's strength in recruiting talents even overshadowed Da Ming many times, and it was very terrifying to think about.

There is just one point, the graduates of Xuanfu Town University do not say that there are as few Jinshi as the Ming Dynasty.

However, middle school graduates can take the official examination, although compared with the students from all over the Ming Dynasty, everyone has a lot more opportunities to be officials and engage in politics, so as not to be so idle, but how to arrange so many official positions?

How will more and more talents be arranged in the coming year?

Zhu Zhifeng, the governor of Xuanfu, has been accompanying Li Banghua recently, and he also went to the Tunpu Road at this time.

He pondered for a long time and said, "So, this is the origin of the redundant officials in Xuanfu Town." In fact, it is not redundant government, but refinement, the Ming Dynasty is too careless about local governance, and the imperial power does not go to the countryside, but also because there are too few local officials, they can only rely on the gentry, so the taxes are collected less and less. On the other hand, in Xuanzhen, all kinds of taxes are collected more and more, and the people do not feel bitter, that is, those who should collect them are collected, and those who should not be collected are not collected, and the reason for the smooth flow of government is unimpeded. ”

He said: "And after graduating from these old students, they also entered the local civil service. They are just scholars, how can they take care of the tax affairs of tens of thousands of local households? …… Not to mention the cabinet ministers, if they are Jishi, they will enter the Hanlin Academy, and then go around in Beijing, and finally become an auxiliary minister. How familiar they are with local affairs, so all kinds of strategies are often not in the right ...... the horse's mouth"

Daming also called Tongsheng a primary school student, and those who were selected for Xiucai or above were generally called old students, and Zhu Zhifeng called Xiucai so much, Li Banghua was not surprised.

He listened to Zhu Zhifeng say: "Everyone in Xuanzhen starts as officials, and when they become officials in the future, they will be familiar with local affairs. And here are college students, and after they come out, they are all local officials, or junior colonels in the army, and they can also be honed layer by layer, and they will not spoil major things...... The more officials, the more detailed the control of the place, not worrying about the chaos of the local powerful gentry, the more taxes are collected, which is enough to support a redundant official. They have a low starting point, and they have many official positions that can be promoted, and they don't have to worry about too many monks and too few porridges, but there are many political positions that can be arranged......"

Zhu Zhifeng finally sighed: "This thought was also thought of by the lower officials recently, but Yongning Hou was far-sighted, and it was chilling to think about it early." (To be continued.) )
