"Hmmm! Your idea is good, put aside the struggle for power and profit, Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy should be built! Dominate with copper, iron and salt, which no one has ever done in the past! But what do you do with the taxes of the imperial court?

I'm not familiar with foreign affairs, and it is inevitable that Minghu will ignore foreign affairs, and it is a good way for you to set up a foreign affairs academy, but is Ge Shiyang available?

Western strange and obscene skills, just learn some guns, guns, ships and ships, you will also Westernize the copper, iron and salt triathlons, I am afraid of hurting the country! After learning the things of the West Demon, are these readers still readers? How good is this business? ”

Fundamentally speaking, Wei Wu does not support foreign affairs, but he can't help himself in Yunnan, and he used to mix in some foreign affairs, Wei Wu was also forced to be helpless, and the starting point of learning foreign affairs was mostly to check and balance Yang Laosan.

The sunrise and the sunrise are the self-sufficiency of chickens, ducks, dogs and sheep, which is the life of the people in Wei Wu's ideals, what is the good thing about this foreign affairs? In Guangzhou back then, Lin Zexu was ruined by foreigners after learning for half a while, making everyone in Guangzhou profit-seeking and impetuous, which was not a good thing in Wei Wu's opinion.

He has also considered these three questions, the taxes of the three classes of Yunguichuan are a lot, and the Yang family can easily let them go? Ge Shiyang was born as a missionary and slandered Confucianism, is it usable? And then how much profit can foreign affairs bring?

"Taxes should be paid, but Yunnan's finances are not self-sufficient, how can there be a tax to pay? The copper and salt affairs of Sichuan and Guizhou, the Yunnan copper stall is a little bigger, and it is good not to ask the court for money, but he still wants to ask for taxes?

As for Ge Shiyang, he is far more suitable than you, his family and brothers. It's all in Yunnan. He is not available. No one in Yunnan can use it!

As for the benefits of foreign affairs, you have seen this Xishan Iron Works! These dozens of blast furnaces alone can produce millions of catties of pig iron a year, which is enough to produce in Yunnan Province.

On my previous trip to Guangzhou, I heard that there were already iron-hulled steamers and inland iron-hulled gunboats in the West, think about it! An inland river steamer, which travels twelve hours a day. Rain or shine, carrying tens of thousands of catties of goods, traveling thousands of miles a day, and the train, these are all things you have heard.

My Xishan Iron Works, if you use trains and ships to transport materials, the output will be greater and more, this is the benefit of foreign affairs, you usually have nothing to do when you learn is also good, your vision and experience can be used. But the idea of governing the world is a piece of waste, and it is absolutely unusable to me. ”

These things. Yang Meng has already calculated it, and it is nothing for Yunnan copper to solve some problems in Beijing, as for gold and silver. Wei Wu is now half wasted, as long as this major trouble is missing, Yiliang's side is completely stable, and it is time to plan the affairs of Xishan.

And Wei Wu was also suppressed by what Yang Meng said, this Xishan Iron Factory, I didn't expect the output to be so huge, this Yang Laosan was so bitter before! I thought that the affairs were all in the palm of my hand, but when I came to him, I couldn't tell the truth from the false, and this battle was unjustly lost.

"The manpower over there in Minghu Academy hasn't been discounted, has it?"

Although Wei Wu's ambition was defeated tonight, it is difficult to guarantee that he has no other twists and turns, and the surveillance of Wei Wu in the recent period must not be relaxed, don't be blinded by this old traitor.

"No, most of the people who came here are miscellaneous people who have no intention of learning, these people are either addicted to research, or strange and obscene skills, it is difficult to get into the eyes at all, if it wasn't for the previous instructions of the third master, I wouldn't want any such people.

This time you want miscellaneous families, I simply swept them here, these hundred and ten people, a few of them are famous, and the others are all useless miscellaneous families, and there are only about 20 students. ”

In Wei Wu's eyes, those who don't read the subset of scriptures and history are miscellaneous, no matter how much they read, it is useless, and these miscellaneous studies on the right path of the imperial examination are not used, so what is the use of learning?

Decades of deep-rooted ideas will not be easily changed, although Yang Laosan was defeated, but Wei Wu's views have not changed much.

"Hmph...... Students are the most important, and the age of this group of people is not too young, right? ”

It's no wonder that it's not discounted, listening to Wei Wu's words, Yang Meng can guess that most of the people he sent are some undesirable readers, who have no money and no status, they can only read some miscellaneous books to relieve their worries and boredom, and let them lead the way, as students of Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, these people are not qualified.

"Most of them are in their thirties and above, and the oldest is sixty-nine."

The old bottom was exposed, Wei Wu didn't react much, he was defeated tonight, he lost all his face, and he was questioned by Yang Meng, he didn't care a little.

"After going back, select a group of clever students, knowledgeable and flexible, the number should not be less than 100 people, every time Minghu Academy recruits people in the future, a part of it will be allocated to Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, and the number will be tentatively set at half!

The good seedlings are sent to Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, the people of Zhongping stay in Minghu Academy, and those who do not make it are sent to the Business School, which is the standard for distributing manpower in the future. ”

The two of them walked slowly all the way, and they could already see Ge Shiyang and the group of people from Minghu Academy.

"Half? All good seedlings? What about Minghu Academy? That's the foundation of the Yang family! ”

All the good seedlings were poached, this is a major event related to readers, Yang Laosan does this, Confucianism will slowly wither, and his heart can be punished!

"It's true, the people who will be trained by Minghu Academy in the future are all officials from all over the world, and Zhongping's talent is enough. After you go back, get a set of teaching materials for governance, and I will change them for you, and start training them now!

As for the accounting offices cultivated by the business school, now they are just allowed to do things according to the rules and become literate. ”

In the early stage, in order to stabilize the pace of the Yang family, Yang Meng ignored many things, and then his focus was on Xishan, and other matters had to be placed in the back row.

"But this will hurt the vitality of the reader! Third master, you picked up all the good seedlings, who will read this book? Those who are in the middle of the peace? ”

"Who's going to read the book? That's a good question, and my answer is: don't read it! ”

"How can you learn etiquette without reading? How can you know how to advance and retreat without reading? How can there be a new dynasty without scholars? ”

"What do you do when you read a book? It's not for the imperial examination, we won't read in the future, we will use books! Use everything in the book.

Didn't I ask you to get some masters? Select out the things that bind people's hearts in Confucianism, we don't need to use them ourselves, and wait for the opportunity. It is used on foreigners.

And the things that work for us. The same is also chosen. For ourselves, this is the original intention of my preparation for the establishment of Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy.

Confucius's "Analects" has been written for 2,000 years, how many books have been derived from this book, do you know the Tao?

Give useless things to the enemy to use, keep useful things for yourself to enjoy, and derive more useful things. It's the same for Western things, let's stay if it's useful. Carry it forward in Huaxia, pack and add materials to useless materials, and return to them.

That's all for today, if there are still problems, go to your house in Kunming City tomorrow, and we'll discuss it again. ”

Leaving Wei Wu with a framework, Yang Meng didn't have the heart to debate with him, and now this Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy is the first priority.

"Okay......"

Is this a lure of wolves? Looking at Yang Meng's back, Wei Wu's heart was full of bitterness.

"I've seen the third master!"

"Hmmm! The spirit is not bad, it seems that you have enjoyed your time in Minghu. Zhilu said, I invited you over overnight, what are you going to do? ”

Wei Wu did a good job in Minghu Academy. Regardless of whether it's true or not, at least these readers want to salute when they see themselves, this thing is a habit after a long time, as for whether they want it or not, Yang Meng doesn't care!

Regarding Yang Sanye's question, most of the people are shaking their heads, and those who are not moving seem to be pretending to be able to guess what they are going to do, such people are at least scheming enough, and it's not bad to try.

"How could no one have guessed? So be it! Let's get a lottery, who guessed the bounty of 100 taels.

Pan Gui, prepare a pen and paper bonus, and let them guess the intention of the third master.

Send it down with a pen and paper, explain it within ten words, don't write it if you don't know what to do, and the person who writes it correctly has other benefits in addition to a hundred taels of gold. Don't forget to sign your paper! ”

Pan Gui took the hands and sent the pen and paper, and more than 100 people began to ponder Yang Meng's thoughts.

Ten words and their own names, will it be or will it not, Pan Gui took people to send the back, and began to collect the paper in front, the wordless one was thrown aside, and the word was left, but he didn't expect him to throw the paper away, which attracted the reproach of his brother-in-law.

"Pick up the paper, it's all good paper, why should you throw it away? Not a penny of the silver that should be spent can be spent, and not a penny that should not be spent can be wasted! Pick it up! ”

Pan Gui is also used to being generous on weekdays, but he didn't expect that as soon as his brother-in-law Yang Meng showed his timidity, he was beaten on the board, and his brother-in-law's words couldn't help but listen, Pan Gui turned around and picked up the white paper thrown on the ground.

After picking up the papers, he presented more than 20 pieces of paper with words written on them.

"Read!"

"Planning to rebuild the iron factory, Cao Zhi's suspicion."

"Yunnan copper is resurrected, Li Mingfu."

"The third master has his own arrangements, Sun Chenghan."

"Wise and martial arts are no more than the third master, Liu Yishen."

"Run Western-style studies and prosper Yunnan, Tan Yubin."

……

"Not bad! Someone else guessed, Tan Yubin, the bounty is five hundred taels; Li Mingfu, bounty of three hundred taels; Cao Zhi's suspicion, the bounty is one hundred taels.

The bounty of the other white rolls is ten taels, and you don't know the way and you don't write it, which means that you are honest and deserve to be rewarded!

As for the sycophants, just look at the situation, and you won't be able to learn to shoot the horse. ”

After Yang Meng's words were finished, most people breathed a sigh of relief, while a few nonsense could only sigh in a low voice.

Most of these people who entered Minghu Academy were poor scholars, and ten taels of gold was definitely not a small amount.

"I want to prepare for the establishment of Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, Master Ge will be the dean, Tan Yubin, Li Mingfu, and Cao Zhizhi, are the three of you willing to assist Master Ge?"

After getting the affirmative reply from the three of them, Yang Meng glanced at the three of them, Tan Yubin was the youngest, in his thirties, his face was dark and strong, his eyes were bright and not squinting, he should be a man.

Cao Zhi, who is in his forties, is the opposite of Tan Yubin, but has a fight with Xu Ziwei, with a thin figure, some obscene facial features, two whiskers, and his eyes are sloppy, and he looks like a speculator.

Li Mingfu, the oldest and most calm among the three, should be in his fifties! The body is medium, the hands and feet are slightly thick, the vicissitudes of the face, and the eyes are slightly cloudy, but the eyes are firm, and he is a doer.

"Tan Yubin is Master Ge's deputy, that is, the vice president of Xishan Academy, and shares Master Ge's worries.

Cao Zhizhi is a foreign affairs manager and is specifically responsible for the personnel of the college. Li Mingfu, as the housekeeper, is responsible for the affairs distributed by the college.

These positions are only temporary, and if you do well, you will continue to sit, and if you don't do well, you will give up your seat and give it to those who have done well. ”

Yang Meng watched while talking, when he said Tan Yubin, most people were envious, when he said Cao Zhi's suspicion, most people were not convinced, and when he said Li Mingfu, most people showed admiration. It seems that the flower work he played is completed, and the gold is not gray.

"I've been busy for most of the day, and you're tired! The meal is ready, so let's eat it later, and then we have something to do after we have eaten.

I'm here to get a thorough understanding of foreign affairs, which is about foreign affairs, but let's not talk about foreign affairs first, when you eat, you all go through the things in your mind, to see if there is any knowledge about casting, arithmetic, vehicle and ship geography, etc., which we can use to do things, after eating, I want to listen to you. ”

Those students and scholars eat big pot rice, and Yang Meng, Wei Wu, Ge Shiyang, and Pan Gui eat small stoves.

"Third master, just now only a few words to identify talents, this trick is amazing! There are nine points of heat, Wei Wu is not as good as that!

Tan Yubin is a character, but he loves miscellaneous studies, and he has abolished his qualifications to go to the good school, otherwise with his qualifications, he can concentrate on studying and taking the path of the imperial examination, and the Taoist officials can do it.

Li Mingfu is unlucky, the book is good but the imperial examination is useless, can only study some miscellaneous studies to make a living, years of accumulation, his miscellaneous skills, but the deepest among the three.

Cao Zhi is a real villain, stingy and harsh, although he looks obscene, but his scheming is not too bad, is his miscellaneous skills? This scholar is all about sideways, and let him manage personnel, but it is the best, just to prevent him from being greedy."

After being frustrated by Yang Meng, Wei Wu became more and more unable to see through this Yang Laosan, one thing after another, this Yang Laosan's figure became more and more oppressive, looking at Yang Laosan, Wei Wu couldn't even think of fighting now.

"Huh! It's just a coincidence, just a random bump! Master Ge, if you finish eating, go over and give them some foundation, iron-making, forged steel, copper smelting, cannon casting, mining, salt boiling, and water conservancy, these things are all I want, you go over and sell them well.

When I listen to them later, there won't be too much nonsense, delaying our time, Master Ge, you'd better get a notebook, if someone says something useful to you, write down that person's name, and talk about it later, I just want to give them one tonight, I attach great importance to the impression of Xishan.

Brother Gui, you follow Master Ge, the one who dares to be disrespectful to Master Ge, dragged out of the gang and cleaned it up fiercely. (To be continued......)
