Some time ago, Zhu Zhifeng was blinded by anger, but when he calmed down, he could objectively analyze the success of Xuanfu Town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, we talked about it, showing the style of the governor of a town.

Li Banghua also nodded, he said: "Zhou Li has a saying, the five families of the Zhou Dynasty are compared, the five ratios are Lu, the four Lu are clans, the five clans are the party, the five parties are the state, and the five states are the townships. The history from the top to the bottom, the rule is only five people, the dynasty to a number of officials, to govern the state and county local people tens of thousands of households, is indeed too sparse, have to rely on the gentry, this is the reason for the financial corruption of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, Yongning Hou does things, the place is detailed and dense, and there is no way to add it, which is quite ancient. ”

The two of you and I have said a word, and they have slowly reversed the views of the local redundant officials in Xuanfu Town, believing that this is one of the secrets of Xuanzhen's local financial excellence.

is also because the tax collection is many times higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, even if the officials who are much larger than the rest of the Ming Dynasty, it is more than enough to take a leisurely stroll.

Li Banghua's expression turned serious: "The more terrifying one is the strength of the official education in this place!" ”

Ming learning and teaching, like previous dynasties, is of course divided into official and private learning, "learning in the government" This is the rulers of all dynasties have attached great importance to it, and the Ming Dynasty is no exception.

However, limited to the financial resources at this time, it attaches great importance to education, and the amount of food students supported by the government is not more than 40 people in the government, 30 in the state school, and 20 in the county, and each person is given six buckets of rice per month for food.

The rest of the enlargements, epiphysis, etc., belong to the people who are parasitized. You have to bring your own food and clothing.

This is still a student, that is, Xiucai, Tongsheng naturally belongs to the object of self-destruction, on the other hand, Xuanfu Town, not to mention Xiucai, Tongsheng is all raised by the government.

Li Banghua said in a deep voice: "Why do all the students read the books of sages and sages, but after they became officials, they became the pests of the country? It's not easy to have a cold window! ”

He said: "In the imperial examination system of the national dynasty, if you want to be promoted and ranked, the scholar must have decades of work, so the family has worked hard to provide for it. The family has been cultivated with hard work. After going through hardships, he has to become an official, naturally he is grateful to his family and family, and the court wants to serve and serve? Just a joke! ”

As the imperial history of the left capital. Li Banghua already knew about this matter. It's time for him to choose. Whether it is a family or a country, he has to fight fiercely, how can he talk about others?

"And it's expensive to read," he said. The cost is very large, and after decades, the family is often bankrupt, so the first priority of the official queen is naturally to get back what was consumed in the past, expecting them to serve the court, and it is just a dream. ”

He sighed and said: "At present, official learning is powerless, private learning is great, and scholars are supported by all parties to become officials, so they naturally have to serve the proprietor, and they have become a vessel for party struggle." ”

Therefore, Li Banghua is very appreciative of the official school in Xuanfu Town, and the only thing he praises is that he does not criticize it in the slightest.

After all, it costs too much to study, and ordinary families, let alone want to cultivate a scholar, now that this burden is all filled by the government, students can study with peace of mind, and they are more willing to serve the government.

This is also a soft mouth that eats people, and the psychology of taking people's hands short, being supported by the government, and not repaying the favor, which is disloyalty and injustice.

For the people, they are naturally very willing, one is to read, at this time the reputation is very high, and the reader is always respected.

Second, don't spend your own money, this is the most important, there is no burden at home, naturally let the children go to school, in the past, only the children of the old man's family could study, everyone was envious, and now they can also read from poor families, who is reluctant?

Third, there is another point, which is the unspoken subtext in many people's hearts.

After reaching the upper grade of primary school, many children in the family have grown to fourteen or five years old, sixteen years old, as the saying goes, half the eldest child eats the poor old man, and now it is equivalent to the government raising a son for them, and the food in the school every day is still good, who does not want to let his son go to school?

The labor problem that many people worry about does not exist, after all, the school has a holiday every Friday and October, and there are six days off in a month, and you can also go home to help on weekdays.

Whenever the farm is busy, the school will also organize activities, what is called "work-study", and often go to farmland, factories and other places to visit or help.

According to Wang Dou's words, this is called "combining theory and practice!" Li Banghua also thinks that this approach is very good, so that students can take on more practical tasks, so as not to be diligent and indistinguishable, and create a group of nerds.

He also appreciated that there were only three chances for the children who took the examination and the students who took the examination to show their talents, and they only had three chances to do so, so as to avoid the students from wasting their lives like this, harming others and themselves.

Not to mention that Fan Jin is a sad person in "The History of Confucianism", the oldest person in the Qing Dynasty, Xie Qizuo, who was only lifted at the age of ninety-eight, is even more tragic and has no meaning.

According to the regulations of Xuanfu Town, the first child has taken the exam three times in a row, and he has not been admitted to the middle school, and he cannot become a talent, generally only about 20 years old, and his youth is still in his prime, so he just goes to find a job to support himself and his family.

Lest there be hope left behind, and the examination will not stop until the age of eighty.

Xiucai took the exam three times in a row, but he still failed to pass the exam, and those who couldn't enter the university were only twenty-three or four years old, and he was still young.

Between them can also serve as officials, while taking exams, more calmly, after three times just broke this mind, concentrate on being their own officials, from the clerk slowly climb up, is also the way out.

This also prevents them from resentment, three years of the exam is just right, and after 30 years of the exam, many talents will have a strong desire to retaliate against the society, such as Niu Jinxing and others.

has always been a shabby showman, and he is also the main force of literati who rebelled among the people, and Hong Xiuquan is one.

In the end, those who can be admitted to the university are all excellent in character and learning, and they are determined people. If they can graduate, they will get the graduation certificate as a jinshi, which is considered an outstanding student, and they will be directly awarded the rank of cavalry captain or enjoy the treatment of a regular department.

Those who cannot graduate will not have the opportunity to retake the exam, and it is directly a certificate of completion, which is still regarded as a person's identity. They will serve as ordinary cadets and enjoy the rank of sergeant or deputy section.

Who is worse than the other who is in the same university? Who doesn't want to get better results and enjoy higher job benefits? And there is only one chance, which also forces them to work hard. It's not that you can sit back and relax when you go to college.

These days are proud, if it goes well, they will rise step by step from childhood, and after graduation, they are generally twenty-three or four years old, which is the time to serve the country in the prime of life.

Li Banghua was full of praise for this kind of age limit, and he even thought that the official school of Xuanfu Town had all the elites. Some private schools in the private sector can only attract students at the level of children, and they are not a threat to the government. Instead, it becomes a supplement.

This is not like all over the Ming Dynasty. It is a Jinshi-level student, most of whom are funded by various family business colleges, and after they come out to serve as officials, they of course become pawns of various interest groups. The vessel of partisan contention everywhere.

And it's a child. Xuanfu Town has many opportunities. Not to mention the private technical schools of various roads, the government has also set up full-time technical schools in each road, and you can enter the school to learn a skill.

Now all over Xuanfu Town. Both the official and non-governmental organizations are still vigorously building "adult primary schools", and the children who have obtained their primary school diplomas have been invited to be gentlemen, teenagers, and teach a large number of adults who are dozens of years old.

There are also children who stay in this school to teach after graduation.

"Knowledge is power, it is wealth!"

The words of the great general Wang Dou are becoming more and more recognized by everyone.

Indeed, the role of knowledge is becoming more and more important in Xuanfu Town, and if you don't want to do coolies, just learn more. Therefore, many workers and farmers have entered adult primary schools in their free time, striving to get a graduation certificate.

Li Banghua said to Zhu Zhifeng with some excitement: "This is the direction of my Daming scientific research in the future restructuring!" ”

Of course, Xuanfu Town's approach is too much investment in education, how can the imperial court's finances respond?

Zhu Zhifeng has been in Xuanfu Town for a long time, of course he knows, he said: "Li Gong doesn't know, in addition to the investment of the government, in fact, the power of private donations is not small. According to the estimates of the lower officials, it may be about to reach half of the amount of the school! ”

According to what he said, the household registration of Xuanfu Town is divided into several grades, and generally those who want to get the green book, except for Tunbao, may take one or two years. However, if you donate a large amount of money to the Department of Corrections, shelters, orphan camps, etc., not only can you get the title, but you can also mention it on the household register.

Moreover, in Xuanfu Town, the higher the level, all kinds of sought-after money-making industries can be given priority to participate, so it is very common for all walks of life to donate money and materials.

It is the common recognition of many people to cultivate more scholars, such as Baoan Prefecture, where the wind of donating money is the worst, that is, the officers and soldiers who come out of the state will donate a lot of money for local education every year.

Therefore, there are only five middle schools on Donglu Road, and Baoan Prefecture accounts for three, because the donation of money in this place is too strong, and the schools run by the local government of Baoan Prefecture are also the best in the town.

Li Banghua frowned, he didn't have a good impression of Baoanzhou, he said lightly: "In this way, isn't the military and political power in Xuanzhen monopolized by the security guard?" ”

Zhu Zhifeng shook his head: "No way, who makes the people of Baoan Prefecture the richest and most generous?" ”

However, he said that the rest of the East Road, as well as the roads in Xuanfu Town, were also aware of this situation and fought to catch up. Many immigrants came to Huailai City, and the wealthy owners of Yanqing Prefecture, in order to let their children find a place in Xuanfu Town, changed the style of not pulling out a dime a dime in the past, and also enthusiastically donated money and materials.

Perhaps they used to be the pioneers of tax evasion in the rest of the Ming Dynasty, but after they arrived in Xuanfu Town, they became great benevolent people praised by everyone.

As far as Zhu Zhifeng knew, a wealthy family who immigrated to Yanqing Prefecture once won the "Great Philanthropist" medal issued by Wang Dou himself, because he donated more than 10,000 taels of silver to the local education department in one go, which caused a huge sensation at that time.

Zhu Zhifeng knew that this person, this guy named Ma Xibei, who claimed to be a good man of Ma Da, was actually a well-known iron rooster in Changping before immigration, and he was the best at hoarding, and even instigated a strike several times, so that the local government's collection of commercial taxes came to naught.

Now he is so willing to give and become a genuine Ma Dashan person, which is a big surprise.

After listening to Zhu Zhifeng's words, Li Banghua didn't know what to feel in his heart, these children, who resisted taxes and evaded taxes in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, arrived in Xuanfu Town, but they were so generous.

……

The two of them didn't say anything after that, and they came all the way to the school in Caitunpu, but they were at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and there was a river not far away, and the bank was full of fields.

The school is quite large, the plaque hangs the words "Shahe Township National Primary School", I heard that the word "National Primary School" was set by Wang Dou a long time ago, and each school implements a boarding system, and is not allowed to return home on weekdays, and can only go back on holidays.

There was a guard next to the gate, and a disabled soldier dressed as a handcuff with a handcuff hanging from his waist, saw the two coming, stopped them, and asked about the intention.

Zhu Zhifeng said that he came to donate, and this post was very happy, but he still registered their identities in detail, but the two of them used the documents of the attaché to pretend to be, but the appearance was relatively similar, and then the gate post went to ask the principal.

Soon the principal laughed and walked in a tiger's style, but he was a veteran of the Jingbian Army, Xuanzhen Daxing Education, and there was a strong demand for teachers.

The principal is quite talkative, please two people to Minglun Hall to discuss, as soon as you enter the door, you see not far ahead, there is a large wall monument standing on the wall, on the book "loyalty, honor, dedication, responsibility" several big words, the payment is Wang Dou.

Zhu Zhifeng and Li Banghua looked at the past together, thinking differently in their hearts, and the two of them also saw that under the big characters, it seemed to be a big map.

"This is the map of the nine continents of the world?"

The two glanced at each other, and what they saw was a large map of the world, of course, Wang Dou came over like a map of the later generations, but the name of the place was changed, Asia became Shenzhou, Europe became Zhuzhou, and many other places, etc., which were unrecognizable from later generations.

The outline of the Ming Dynasty is also marked on it, but it is placed in the middle position, symbolizing China as the center of the world.

However, looking at the map, Zhu Zhifeng and Li Banghua both had turbulent waves in their hearts, and Daming's territory was only so little?

When Western missionaries entered the Ming Dynasty, they did not offer a global map of the world, but they did not have such an intuitive understanding as Wang Dou's paintings, and they showed the overall layout of the world more vividly.

The two of them even saw that the land area of the world, which was marked as the Spanish and Portuguese Empire, was countless times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty, and seemed to exceed half of the land under the world, which was really appalling.

And in the place of Guangdong Trench (Macao), it is also emphatically marked: "The Franco-Rang machine man is a native of the Spanish and Portuguese empires." ”

Li Banghua looked at Zhu Zhifeng, and they all saw each other's iron faces.

The principal smiled and said, "The two guests are stunned, Zhao was stunned when he saw this picture for the first time." ”

After a pause, his eyes were deep: "The world is so big, my Jingbian army has a long way to go." ”

The two continued to enter, and as soon as they turned the wall, they heard the sound of "one, two, one", and then the two saw dozens of big children and children dressed in red suits and untied hair, lined up in a neat queue, shouting trumpets, and coming in very strict steps.

Seeing two strangers come in, many children looked at them curiously, and then "one, two, one" went away again.

Looking at the cold weather, they all looked meticulous, with a serious look on their little faces, Li Banghua and Zhu Zhifeng nodded secretly.

As soon as they turned around, they saw that there was fine sand in front of them, and the sound of killing on the rather wide field was deafening, and a piece of sword light was shining, and there was also a sound of guns, which startled the two of them. (To be continued.) )
