Chapter 60: The Root of the Rebellion
The tense faces, the tall bodies, trembling slightly but trying to maintain it, sweating but still clenching their teeth, the five hundred people were silent, condensed into a palpitating momentum, and pressed Lu Zhixian, who walked in front of him, so that his heartbeat almost stalled.
They didn't bend their knees and bow down and worship?!
In Lu Zhixian's heart, a wave of anger suddenly swelled up! How could the people under his rule be so bold and so rebellious? Lao Tzu studied hard for more than ten years, fought again and again in the field, tried his best to speculate in the camp, spent all his family wealth to bribe, and finally became a county seal, in order to make hundreds of thousands of people bow down with a trick in hand; Under the drink order, don't dare to disobey! High up, proud of the crowd!
Lao Tzu worked so hard to get the qualification not to bow to the vast majority of people, you are a bunch of mud-legged, vulgar and unliterate farmers, why!
Not only was he angry, but a scholar with a reputation like Master Zhuang was also quite embarrassed to be angered. However, Cai Qu and other leading figures who watched the ceremony hid far away and were unwilling to come forward to get involved. It's hard to accept this thing for a while!
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yang Hao's mouth, and he had been paying attention to Lu Zhixian's face that had changed color and began to cramp, and when the corners of his eyes began to tremble, he shouted loudly: "Lord Lu of this county Taizun came to watch the ceremony in person, all students, welcome together!" ā
Liu Dafu shouted at the top of his voice: "Tell me together, Lord Taizun is good!" ā
"Hello Lord Taizun!"
Five hundred people, the howl of hissing and cracking the lungs, the sound accumulated, and the roar was like thunder, which shook Lu Zhixian dizzy and staggered, and what was annoyed and unhappy, all of them were blown out of the clouds!
Damn, why do you feel like you're in the barracks?!
Lu Zhixian shook his head, barely stood firm, and responded in a tone of voice: "Okay!" Good! Excuse me! ā
Liu Dafu took the lead and shouted: "Lord Xie Taizun! ā
Boom and a gust of wind and clouds, the momentum is so loud that it is like a charge!
At this moment, Lu Zhixian no longer dared to raise the idea of asking for guilt, at least for the time being, he couldn't have a seizure. Five hundred young men who refused to bow their heads, united in a rope, were a scourge that would be difficult to calm down wherever they were placed. However, the head of this group of people has the murderous force and financial resources that can sweep across the county, and with the support of so many people, it is too easy to re-empty him.
This is what Yang Hao wants.
He didn't expect a group of young people who had just put down their hoes to dare to brazenly confront the official authority of the magistrate, so in the entire queue, a needle was erected on the neckline and waistband of each student! Whoever dares to bend down and bow his head will immediately be pierced by a needle! If you are afraid of pain, you can only stiffen up!
In order to succeed in the selection, the soldiers worked hard to practice their skills, and the collar pin did not let their heads move. This hand is borrowed from it, and it's pretty good!
In addition, it was Liu Dafu and the deterrence of 20 students who had seen blood, and hundreds of students who had won awards supported them and played an excellent leading role. And all the trainees, in the first ten days of collective labor, under the command of the old man, have been instilled with a lot of cooperation, obedience, order, discipline thinking, five days of intensive training, the initial results!
Seeing the official does not kneel, it is the first level. As long as they survive today, their psychology will change, and they can change dramatically with this as the starting point of education and guidance.
Lu Zhixian is considered to have completed the "review", more than 20 teachers who have completed the first phase of training immediately rushed up, this group of children and talents had never had the opportunity to meet the county master in the past, but today they don't have to bow down and beg grandpa to sue grandma for bribery, and meet as teachers in the first comprehensive professional technical training school in the county and even in the province, and they have earned half a lifetime of face.
They didn't have to stiffen their necks, and they saluted and greeted each other with smiles on their faces, quickly disintegrating the only remaining unhappiness in Lu Zhi County, nodding again and again, and even admonishing earnestly: "You must work hard and cultivate some excellent talents for the county!" ā
The instructors hurriedly nodded their heads like pounded garlic. Yang Hao sighed: "Presumably adults can also see that the manpower that our school can use is too lacking!" I Yang finally got back the technical classics of the Western powers, and wanted to quickly teach them and build our own industrial, agricultural, business and academic strength, but there were no students with a certain foundation, and there was a lack of knowledgeable teachers. It's really ....... ā
Lu Zhixian immediately frowned: "Education is the top priority, and it must not be neglected!" ā
He turned his head and beckoned the teachings who followed him to come up, and commanded with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Teachings Xu, you have to discuss this matter with Mr. Yang, and you must handle it properly!" If you can make achievements, you may not be able to get the court's praise for it! Well, I remember that there are thousands of people in this county who have merit and no job, so I can order them to help some! ā
Xu Jiaoyu had already taken Yang Hao's benefits before, and immediately bowed his head and obeyed his orders: "The lower officials must do their best to handle it." ā
Lu Zhixian nodded with satisfaction, Xu Jiaoyu was secretly happy in his heart, what he was waiting for was the banner of the county master. You must know that Yang Hao has already told him that as long as he can find a hundred talented scholars to work as errands, he can at least give him a few thousand taels of benefits, help expand the county school, give a complete set of Western teaching aids, and provide free paper and pencil books and classics, not to mention, he will find a way to donate a future for him!
The teachings, in fact, are very poor. The income of a few hundred taels a year is not enough to honor Shangguan and relatives to fight the autumn wind. Yang Hao's pen will allow him to ascend to the sky in one step!
It's just that he can't do it on his own, only when the county master speaks, the group of scholars who twist their noses and refuse to bow their heads will put down their bodies and give in.
Yang Hao was even more satisfied. If he wants to build a huge foundation, he must have enough elite backbones. To train illiterate young people and school-age teenagers from scratch, one can only serve as the grassroots level, and the other is too late. Looking at the whole county, there are at least 1,000 talents and 4,000 children. Forty percent of them are working as tutors and messy business, and most of them are poor, but "gentlemen are stubbornly poor" and refuse to help.
In addition, there are county schools and two academies, all of which are also rushing to the imperial examination, and no one believes that the imperial court will change course and build a new school like the foreigners. Let them send someone? There are no doors.
The twenty or so led by Guan Zhongkuan are all undisciplined, and their brains are relatively flexible, even if they know that what they teach is completely different from the genuine scriptures, they have to do it hard for the basic salary of at least thirty taels of silver a month! If not, will you go back and live a hard life?
They can only serve as an example. If you can bring in half of the students in the county and enrich the upper and lower levels, you can immediately expand!
Now in the whole of China, there are at least 3 million tutors, and at least 7 million are famous! Tongsheng and other readers, at least 30 million! There are hundreds of thousands of donors! As long as one-tenth of this force is mobilized, it is a huge force that no one can stop!
Therefore, the advantage of a cultural power lies in this, the heritage is too profound. As long as the ruler takes advantage of it properly, catch up with the British and the United States? What a deal!
But what about the real situation? In China, the Westernization Movement has been carried out for 20 years, and there are only more than 40 government-supervised and business-run industries, with a total investment of less than 30 million taels of silver, and the number of workers who can be counted is less than 30,000!
With a huge national base of 430 million, there are less than 30,000 workers! This also includes the number of mine workers who closed after only a few years of operation.
The rulers stubbornly suppressed the power of the people, and were not allowed to set up industries without permission, not to open mines and build railways, not to engage in shipping and shipbuilding, and even the dignified Jiangnan Shipyard stopped shipbuilding a few years ago. The Qingliu adults of the imperial court actually thought that "our country has already made peace with foreigners, and there is no need to provoke warships, so there is no need to build ships."
In this regard, Yang Hao only wanted to say four words: "I'm cĒo your mother!" ā
It can be said that the fall of the Manchus was purely self-inflicted. But they killed themselves, but they were martyred when hundreds of millions of Chinese people were bullied, humiliated, exploited, and slaughtered for a whole hundred years! Such bastards who have lost their conscience, are rotten, cowardly and incompetent, and whose death is not enough to atone for their sins, it is disgusting to keep them and raise maggots if they are not swept away in one fell swoop!
It can be seen from this how slow and difficult it is to make a revolution and to count on the growth of workers' power. Only in the shortest possible time can the tens of millions of people who have read books be transformed into a useful working class. Only with them as the backbone can we bring together hundreds of millions of peasants, who are almost a pool of stagnant water, suppress the greedy and visionless merchant class, and bring about a change in the thinking of the entire country and nation!
With such a long-term plan, we have to start with this small technical school!
Accompanied by Yang Hao and a group of gentry, Lu Zhixian visited the teaching building, dormitory, library, and room with great interest.
Yang Hao is from a business background, knows how to highlight the selling points, and focuses on the advantages of the content taught in each class. For example, in the agricultural science class, it is necessary to teach the artificial cultivation, breeding, and pest control of silkworms that are directly related to the county's economy. As well as the cultivation of wheat and other crops, the cultivation of high-profit tobacco, and the introduction of large peanuts .......
Engineering classes, teaching the basic knowledge of agricultural machinery, production and processing; manufacturing of water conservancy machinery; Textile & Hardware Processing ...... Again, a whole bunch.
Not to mention the medical class, just the pile of cold and shining, brilliant metal, glass, rubber instruments, utensils, large and small bottles of Western medicine, all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, anatomy, acupuncture and moxibustion acupuncture point wall charts all over the wall, bone shelves of synthetic materials, and samples of organ lesions with strong yin qi are enough to make Lu Zhixian have nightmares!
Only the liberal arts class is empty, with no teachers and no students. Yang Hao could only spread his hands on this: "People don't believe that we can teach sages here, so they all go to the official academy and private school." ā
