Chapter 146: Strength is respected
As soon as the news of Yulin City's opening of a school came out, it immediately became a hot spot in the city, and no matter whether there was hope or no hope, people would talk about it. After all, this is an era when everything is inferior, and only reading is high.
For the military attachΓ©s of Yansui Town and Yulinwei, although they both have hereditary iron rice bowls, they can only let the eldest son take the throne, and the rest of the children and grandchildren will ask for more blessings. If we can build a school, wouldn't that be a good way out? in other words
Who doesn't want to go to school? At least eighty percent of the military attachΓ©s have fantasized that in the future, one son will learn to be famous and the other will be a son to succeed in the family business, and the civil and military will complement each other to become a family double insurance.
With the education level and cultural atmosphere of the northwest borderland, it is almost impossible to go to the capital to become a jinshi, and it is very rare to go to Xi'an to raise people, but at least you can find a way to show off your talents locally.
With the fame of showing talent, first, you can enter the country to study, and when you come out, you can be a prisoner and become an official; Second, if you can seek some staff positions such as senior secretaries in the border town army, isn't that a ready-made example?
Overnight, Fang Yingwu suddenly became a fragrant glutton, and received twelve invitations of various colors within two days, all of whom were sent by well-known figures in Yulin City.
Because the governor himself said that he would discuss the details with Fang Yingwu. After that, of course, the governor can't do everything himself, and the specific things have to be done by others, so Fang Yingwu, who has an education and is trusted by the governor, naturally presides over this matter.
Besides, it is not easy to invite the governors from above, they may not have this qualification, but they should always be qualified to invite Fang Yingwu to meet.
There are also many speculators who are bitter and think that they have known this for a long time. When Fang Yingwu was forced to do the warehouse book, it was time to send charcoal in the snow. Otherwise, a friendship of tribulation will be formed. At this time, you must be able to get a talent spot.
Fang Daxiu looked at the invitation, shook his head and sighed after tasting the warmth and coldness of the world and the cold state of the world. The husband cannot have any rights and no rights.
However, the hotter the topic of this school became, the more Governor Yang felt that Fang Yingwu had a good idea, a good idea for him to have a very smooth start to his career as governor - just by running a school, he would grasp the hearts of the people in the entire Yansui Town.
Governor Yang thought again that this matter could not be delayed for too long and cooled people's hearts, so he had to start while the iron was hot.
He had already asked the court about it, but it was just a passing motion. The establishment of Confucianism is an absolutely politically correct thing, and as long as the local government has this mind and is willing to put in this effort, then it is impossible for the imperial court to oppose it.
Therefore, the preparatory work can be carried out in advance. There is no need to worry about the imperial court vetoing. With this in mind, Governor Yang convened people from all walks of life to discuss the establishment of the school on the fourth day after taking office.
In addition to Governor Yang himself, there were also two officials from the guard post and the battalion, in addition to the two governor's staff Cui Zhenfei and Fang Yingwu.
On the side of the guard, Peng Qing, the commander of the Yulin Guard, is the actual ruler of the Shitu Guard, the actual ruler of Yulin City, and the commander of the government is equivalent to the parent official in the mainland, and he can't get around running a school.
On the battalion side, Yue Song, the commander of the capital and the deputy chief soldier of Yansui Town, came. Because the general army is not in Yulin. Therefore, the coordinated deputy commander who specializes in guarding Yulin City participated.
Governor Yang sat in the middle, saw that the four people on the left and right had arrived, and coughed first and said, "Don't gossip, let's get to the point." Summoned today. It is to finalize the detailed regulations of the school, and then act accordingly. β
After the opening remarks, Governor Yang directly asked the other party: "According to your calculations." How much money does it cost to run Yulin Health School? β
Fang Yingwu replied: "The upfront investment will require about a thousand taels of silver." β
Governor Yang remained silent. Deputy Chief Yue looked at his nose and nose, and only Peng Commander was taken aback. "Why are there so many?" he asked. β
Fang Yingwu didn't raise his eyelids, looked at the notes in his hand and replied, "Master Peng doesn't know what Confucianism is like, right?" First of all, the Confucian temple must not be built, there is no Confucian temple in the world that does not build a Confucian temple, the left and right temples are the standard system; Secondly, the school must build a tall and bright Yilun Hall, as well as a student building that can accommodate at least 100 people, which is another big expense;
In addition, it is difficult to find books in border towns, and if it is necessary to build a library building to build a library and buy books from other places to enrich it, this may be hundreds of taels. What's more, don't forget, the price of materials on the border land is expensive, and when you combine the above items, a thousand taels of silver is not much. β
Governor Yang said: "There is only a few Jingyun silver here in this hospital, which must be used as reward silver and salary, which is related to the morale of the army and cannot be moved lightly." β
Commander Peng also complained bitterly: "There are many people in Yulin City, there are many soldiers, and there are few camps, and they have been unable to make ends meet, but fortunately, the imperial court can only make up for the deficit by allocating a certain amount of Beijing silver every year, and it is not easy to raise money in the lower official guards." β
Governor Yang glanced at Commander Peng and ordered: "Yulinwei has the income from Tuntian, the income from taxes, and the benefits of salt. The health office will take out 500 taels this year and 500 taels next year, and that's it. β
Commander Peng still wanted to complain, but when he saw Governor Yang take out the domineering spirit of a feudal official, he reprimanded: "Only you Yulinwei have a living income in Yansui Town, and you are unwilling to bear it, do you want this hospital to deduct the salary?" Or do you want the general army town to eat empty salaries and squeeze out the silver? β
Commander Peng was reprimanded, so he didn't say anything. The biggest problem was solved, and Governor Yang asked Fang Yingwu again: "Where is the Health Office?" Have you ever chosen a good location? β
Fang Yingwu replied again: "The school palace must build a quiet place, but the Yulin Acropolis is a narrow place, and it is not easy to find a place. The late students have surveyed the city in the past two days, and it is better for Weixue to be built in the northeast. β
When everyone thought about it, it was indeed best built in the northeast corner. To the west of the Yulin Acropolis are the official offices and military camps, to the south are several markets, and to the east are the artisan houses, so only the northeast corner is the quietest. Moreover, the Yulin Acropolis does not have a north gate, which makes the north city sparse.
"But there are problems." Fang Yingwu looked at Commander Peng's envoy and continued: "There are two warehouses in the yamen of the guard there. β
Governor Yang immediately gave instructions, "Tear down the warehouse and move it to another place!" β
Commander Peng hurriedly said: "I'm afraid not."
Fang Yingwu suddenly interjected, "Actually, it doesn't have to be a new one, you can directly merge the warehouse of the health office into the warehouse under the Buzheng Branch." Unified scheduling management. β
"The lower officials will definitely move the warehouse as soon as possible, and they will not hinder the running of the school!" Commander Peng changed his tune. Determined.
Fang Yingwu smiled faintly, "Zuihou is a manpower problem." The construction of the palace required a large number of errands. The battalion's combat readiness cannot be used lightly, so it can only be requisitioned from the Yulin Guards. β
Governor Yang frowned and thought for a moment, and also felt that Yulin was located on the front line of border defense, and although the battalion was abundant, it needed to be ready for war at all times.
The battalion is under the jurisdiction of the general army town, but the local military and civilian households are under the Yulin guard, so they have to worry about Peng's command. Governor Yang then instructed Peng to command: "Local military and civilian households." Ten households draw a ding, and see how many servants can be summoned first. β
Yue Song, the deputy commander-in-chief, glanced sympathetically at Commander Peng on the other side, this old guy was too aggrieved, fortunately he was a military attache who ignored local affairs.
The name of the school is sponsored by Governor Yang, and Fang Yingwu is responsible for specific affairs. But today, this will be opened, the silver is raised by the guard, the place is vacated by the guard, the manpower is still collected by the guard, and the hard work is all covered, but the greatest credit is someone else's.
Commander Peng apparently found out about this as well. Gritted his teeth and said: "Since people, money, and land are all in charge of the Wei Institute, then it is enough to directly organize the Wei School, and then Futai will take charge of the overall situation, so why use other people to do more!" β
That's what it means. Since everything depends on Yulinwei to organize, then let Peng Qing come forward to preside, what else should he do? It's just an extra layer of formalities. Useless.
Governor Yang didn't speak, picked up the teacup and drank it gently. For him. As long as he proposes the direction, who will be the person below who will preside over the specific affairs. The difference is really not much. Even from the perspective of efficiency, it may be more efficient to let Commander Peng be responsible for the specific handling.
But officialdom has never been so simple, he has to take care of Fang Yingwu's face, and he can't hurt the hearts of his own people, so he can't easily agree to Commander Peng's request.
Seeing that Governor Yang avoided talking about it, Commander Peng took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over: "This is a letter written by Eunuch Zhang to Futai, and I brought it with me. β
Hearing Eunuch Zhang's three words, everyone in the room lifted their spirits. There is only one person in Yulin City who can be called Eunuch Zhang, and that is Zhang Yao, the eunuch guarding Yansui Town.
Everyone else is not stupid, Eunuch Zhang wrote a letter to Governor Yang at this juncture, and asked Commander Peng to send it in person, for fear that things will change.
Fang Yingwu was also slightly surprised, Commander Peng was able to carry a letter for Eunuch Zhang, which in itself was a very symbolic thing. It turned out that Commander Peng had the support of the eunuchs guarding the town, no wonder he was very reckless.
Fang Yingwu quickly thought again, it seems that Commander Peng is also prepared today, he knows that the affairs of running a school are inseparable from Yulinwei, so he wants to take advantage of Eunuch Zhang's momentum to come and ask for a title to preside over affairs. In the future, it will also be the capital to invite merit and reward, and by the way, you can also fish in troubled waters with your hands.
Governor Yang looked at the letter and was silent. The content of the letter was very simple, Eunuch Zhang advised him to be public-minded and not to blindly appoint private individuals, and Commander Peng, as the official of Yulin Wei, was definitely the most suitable person to preside over the affairs of running the school.
Governor Yang felt very ironic, it was actually a eunuch who advised him to be selfless, although he was not afraid of the eunuchs, but he didn't want to conflict with the eunuchs who had the right to secretly play to the Son of Heaven when he first took office, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment.
Fang Yingwu observed his words and expressions, and suddenly said: "Master Peng has been in the place for a long time, and he is indeed the best host for running a school, and he is willing to let Xian be in his later years." β
Governor Yang was very surprised, this party should be willing to give in like this? It is very rare for a young person to have such a state of mind.
Immediately, he expected that this was Fang Yingwu's clues, so he didn't want to embarrass him and took the initiative to sacrifice himself.
Thinking of this, Governor Yang was a little moved and asked, "Have you thought about it?" β
Fang Yingwu secretly glanced at Governor Yang, "Wansheng is indeed willing to let Xian!" β
He seems really willing to let in? Governor Yang sighed, "That's fine." β
Commander Peng swept away his previous predicament, became very proud, and smiled with a very unrestrained "hehe". He knew that people like Fang Yingwu would definitely push all the trivial matters to Yulinwei, and if he prepared in advance, he could be caught off guard, and even snatched the title of host.
Fang Yingwu didn't want to think about it, how much weight did he have? Doing such a thing as Yulin Weiwei is definitely not possible without the hard work of Yulinwei's commanding envoys; But without Fang Yingwu, it is completely possible to continue to do it.
If you want to face the situation of having to choose one of the two, you can only choose Peng to command, this is the difference between the two.
The matter had a result, everyone walked outside, and Peng commanded the other party to respond: "In this world, strength is respected, strength is the only status, and it is useless to only play lip service!" β
"Teachable, teachable!" Fang Yingwu replied with a grin.
Isn't he depressed? This made Commander Peng very uncomfortable, and the feeling of coolness immediately decreased by more than half. (To be continued.) )
