Zheng Xunrui has always been vigorous and resolute in doing things, once the matter of adjusting the officials and officials was determined, he immediately began to act, Nanjing Household Department Shangshu Luo Changluo stayed up for many nights in a row, all the officials of the household department, almost all of them were put into the calculation of the matter of the government, and the officials also began to clarify the relevant measures for the assessment of officials, and at the same time sent officials to Fuzhou County for assessment, in accordance with the requirements of the regulations, the government of Fuzhou County was abolished, and at the end of July, the edict was issued to all prefectures and counties, including the four prefectures and three prefectures of Huaibei, Zheng Xunrui also decided that the officials of Nanzhili would make up for the adjustment of the salary from January to June.

This move was like a stimulant, which instantly mobilized the enthusiasm of the officials of Nanzhili, and since then they have regarded the edicts of the Six Ministries of Nanjing and the Imperial Procuratorate as holy decrees, and as long as there are documents and edicts of Nanjing, they will be resolutely implemented.

Nanjing's officials have also undergone large-scale adjustments, and nearly 100 officials have been enriched to Fuzhou County and arranged corresponding positions, and all officials have conscientiously studied and acted according to the requirements of the officials issued by the Nanjing Officials' Department.

"Wen Kun, you are the prefect of Suzhou this time, you have a great responsibility, you grew up in Suzhou, you know that it is not ordinary, Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, the influence in Suzhou is very great, although we have pulled out the foundation of the Donglin Party in Suzhou, but it is impossible to eliminate the influence of Donglin Academy in a short period of time, and the influence of Donglin Academy in Suzhou, as long as forty years, is not something that can be eliminated in a while, but we can't watch this situation go unchecked, so, after you take office, there is one thing, It must be handled in person. ”

Wen Kun listened very carefully. When he was in Fuzhou, he completed the task assigned by Zheng Xunrui very well, and Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Lushun and other places have completely settled down, especially the division of cultivated land, which has been very successful. The prefecture and county yamen recompiled the fish scale map, approved the population, further clarified the cultivated land, and allowed the people to quickly settle down, and at the same time began to pay taxes, and the Hongmen institutions also went to Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Lushun and other places to collect protection fees from merchants.

The construction of Fuzhou and other places is like starting from scratch, and all the requirements are implemented in accordance with Zheng Xunrui's arrangement. From these bits and pieces, Wen Kun has also learned too many things, and he deeply feels that Zheng Xunrui is really thinking about the people, and hopes that the people can have enough food and clothing.

Wen Kun never expected to come back to serve as the prefect of Suzhou this time, thinking that he was just a clerk of the Suzhou Governor's office, and he had no chance to meet the prefect on weekdays. Now he is actually the prefect of Suzhou.

Of course, Wen Kun is also clear about the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Stabilize the locality, develop commerce and trade, consolidate the achievements of the integrated grain payment of the officials and gentry, and make Suzhou more prosperous.

As for what Zheng Xunrui needs to emphasize, Wen Kun is not very clear.

"Wen Kun, after you arrive in Suzhou. It is necessary to start a school of charity. ”

Zheng Xunrui's words made Wen Kun's body tremble slightly, and he quickly understood the meaning.

"All the expenses required for the establishment of the free school will be borne by the government at all levels, and it will be within this year. All villages and towns in Suzhou have to run a free school, it is not easy for poor students, more children from ordinary families have no way to study, they can eat well, so this responsibility of the government must bear it, the style of study in Jiangnan has always been very prosperous, I don't know how many peasant children who want to study, lost the opportunity to enter the school. ”

"It is easy to say but not easy to do, there are many details that need to be paid attention to, after you become the prefect of Suzhou, you need to consider it in detail, Mr. Xu will follow you to Suzhou for two months, mainly to assist you in setting up a free school."

"There is also a clear purpose in establishing the Yixue, that is, to gradually eliminate the influence of the Donglin Party members, and strive to completely remove the poison of the Donglin Party members within two to three years."

"Speaking of this, I'm a little worried, we eliminate the poison of the Donglin Party, not to say that it is a complete veto of Donglin Academy, that is unrealistic, Donglin Academy has a lot worth learning, we need to absorb, what we abandon is party struggle, what we need to absorb is insight, the purpose of Donglin Academy, mainly for scholars, the purpose of our voluntary school, mainly for the children of peasant families who want to study but cannot afford to repair."

"Wen Kun, you have to remember that only by letting more people learn knowledge can we be truly strong, and the so-called ten years of trees and a hundred years of cultivating people, cultivating real talents, is the foundation for us to truly prosper."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Wen Kun nodded and immediately spoke.

"My lord, the requirements of ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, the lower officials feel very good, the couplets of Donglin Academy, the sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, family affairs, national affairs, everything in the world is concerned, and the influence is very great, when the lower officials are in the Suzhou Mansion, they often hear that if the requirements of ten years of trees and a hundred years of people are taken as the purpose of establishing a righteous school, they will definitely be able to form an impact in a very short time."

Zheng Xunrui smiled and nodded, Wen Kun was really smart.

"I have already written two paintings, one of which is ten years of trees and a hundred years of people, and the other one you can also take, which is the purpose of establishing a righteous school."

Wen Kun walked to the table and saw another word: There is a road and a diligent path in Shushan, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea.

It is unlikely that the school and politics are separated, for thousands of years, the ruling class has paid attention to running a school, and the requirements of running a school need to meet their own requirements, Zheng Xunrui also understands this, but he feels that in this era, the combination of school running and politics is too close, it is not a good thing, Qin Shi Huang's book burning pit Confucianism, the impact is huge, if the dynasty is full of devastation, the ruling class is thinking about whitewashing, the effect will not be very good, the real impact on the readers, or social reality.

Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe were able to prosper in a short period of time, which had a great relationship with the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Xunrui didn't want such a situation to happen again.

When Wen Kun picked up the two calligraphy and paintings, Zheng Xunrui spoke again.

"Nanzhili set up a free school, first in Suzhou, the rest of the place will gradually begin to set up a free school, Suzhou is a model for them to learn, from this point of view, the responsibility of Suzhou to set up a free school is very important, only allowed to succeed, not allowed to fail."

Wen Kun let out a long breath.

"Rest assured, my lord, the lower officials will do their best to do a good job of righteous learning."

At the beginning of August, Wen Kun went to Suzhou Mansion to officially take office.

followed Wen Kun to Suzhou, as well as Xu Wanghua, and the former prefect Li Yan did not leave immediately, assisting Wen Kun to familiarize himself with the situation in Suzhou as soon as possible.

Wen Kun knows that the responsibility is heavy, he has been away from Suzhou for many years, and the situation has undergone some changes, when he was in the Suzhou Mansion before, he was just a clerk, and it was impossible to know the overall situation in Suzhou, and now that he has become the Suzhou Governor, he needs to understand the comprehensive situation.

The establishment of a school of righteousness began immediately.

The sensation caused by this incident in various parts of Suzhou was beyond Wen Kun's expectations.

Suzhou as the foundation of the Donglin Party, although the Donglin Academy has been revoked, but the influence of the Donglin Academy is still very great, after the Donglin Academy was forcibly revoked, many readers feel unfair, such a breath in the heart, nowhere to vent, so they have some gatherings from time to time, plus Zheng Xunrui's implementation of the official gentry to pay for food, the impact in Suzhou is also great, so these scholars are more and more resentful in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Suzhou actually began to set up a free school, and the government directly borne all the costs.

Volunteer schools should be set up in every village and town, so that more children can enter the school.

Many scholars do not believe that the government can set up a free school, you must know that every village and town in Fuzhou County is set up a free school, how much money should be needed, the scholar family in Suzhou, the strength must reach a certain level, to be able to run a school, let their children study, now the government bears the cost of free school, where is it so simple.

However, as time passed, many scholars found that the government was real.

"Ten years of trees and a hundred years of people", "Shushan has a road for the path, the sea of learning is endless" the purpose of running a school, began to spread in large numbers throughout Suzhou, the government also began to recruit students in an all-round way, as the gentleman of Yixue, each village and town's Yixue, according to the actual situation of the village and town, clear the amount of students recruited, the county government has begun to clarify the location of Yixue in the village and town, take out the money to buy a house, and carry out appropriate rest.

The salary of the teacher issued by the government is very good, ten taels of silver per month, and a total of one hundred and twenty taels of silver, which has exceeded the income of the county magistrate.

Some students went to the prefecture and county yamen to apply for jobs with the attitude of trying it out, and after the assessment, some of the students were directly admitted, and it was clear where to teach.

The establishment of a righteous school is a good deed, and the government can do this well, which is undoubtedly truly for the people's consideration.

Scholars from all over Suzhou have rapidly changed their views on Zheng Xunrui and the government, and the establishment of Yixue is definitely not on the same level as Donglin Academy.

At the beginning of September, volunteer schools in Suzhou began one after another.

The prefect Wenkun and the former prefect Li Yan participated in several ceremonies for the opening of the school.

Scholars, scholars, and doctors from all over Suzhou all participated in the opening ceremony of the Yixue in their respective localities, and they attended with an attitude of scrutiny, but they found that the government really worked the establishment of the Yixue, and the school bore the expenses of the husband every day, and also provided a meal for the students.

Yixue began to be established in various places at the fastest speed, and this move gradually condensed the minds of scholars, so that they began to really think about what kind of person Zheng Xunrui, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, was. (To be continued......)
