Everyone looked at Li Yan in amazement, preparing to build more colleges? Do you really dare to think about it......

"Haha! Li Yan, well said! ”

Zhu Jie laughed and said, "I have long had this intention, if before, we lacked enough teachers, now Yingtian Academy has been open for three or four years, and there are already two batches of graduates, and in the spring of next year, the first batch of students of Shuntian Academy can also graduate smoothly, these students, in addition to entering the political arena, there are more than 2,000 people, I just want to recruit them all to other academies, this is called passing on the gang, a group with a group!" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it may not be as you wish......

Yuan Jixian smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes, learn literature and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family, which student is successful in studying, and doesn't want to be able to shine on the lintel and enter the political arena?" Qi family rules the country and the world, that is the dream of all readers, who wants to be a teacher? ”

Others also nodded, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, why is the reading high, because you can be an official, glorify your ancestors, and be a lifelong teacher, what is the point? I'm afraid that all the students don't want to just become a teacher in the end......

"Being an official?"

Zhu Jie laughed and said: "Yuan Gong, not everyone is suitable for being an official, to be an official, you need to have the mind to be an official, governing the country is a big thing, what is needed is a pragmatic attitude, understanding the people's hardships and warmth, a group of nerds to take charge of the government of a place, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be taken to the ditch by them!" All officials in the future of the Ming Dynasty must go through strict selection, and must have a pragmatic spirit and attitude, not to determine the level by knowledge, but to character and ability, and profound knowledge, may not be able to be a good official! Kong Meng, Dong Zhongshu and others have not become the prime ministers of a country, Taibai and Du Fu have not even been decent officials, on the contrary, which one of Fang Mou Du Duan and others is a famous scholar? It's not the material to be an official, then be a good teacher, do learning, I won't bury any talent, even if I am a teacher, as long as I do a good job, I will still let him flaunt the annals of history! ”

What Zhu Jie said is easy, but if you want to change the concept of learning and excelling, it is too difficult, even if China is two or three hundred years later, it is difficult to completely jump out of this concept.

Zhu Jie continued: "The establishment of a new school, does not necessarily have to come forward by the imperial court, the rich businessmen and scholars of the people can also participate, if the people want to run a school, the imperial court can reward money and food to encourage, of course, it is still based on the imperial court, Fang Yizhi, in the next five years, the provinces must prepare for the establishment of more than one new college, the north and south of the new college are between three and five, five years later, if the Ming can have nearly 100 new colleges, it will provide more than tens of thousands of talents for the Ming every year, ten years, It's hundreds of thousands of people, why can't Daming do anything? ”

Li Yan nodded, in the next five years, there will be tens of thousands of graduates from the existing new colleges, among which thousands of students can step into the official career, and the rest can fully support nearly 100 new colleges.

"Of course, if the graduating students want to do business, I will also encourage them, Yongxing Bank can introduce measures to provide these people with low-interest or interest-free loans, support their development, I want to let the world understand that studying is far more than just being an official, being an official is the most unproductive choice for scholars!"

Zhu Jie continued, this is really Zhu Jie's idea, in the national examination, millions of graduates sharpened their heads and squeezed into the ranks of civil servants, why? One is that the official holds the power, and the other is afraid of the competition in society, and he doesn't even dare to face the competition in life, what is not a coward?

Mao Yuanyi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, although it is a good thing to prepare for the establishment of a new academy, but after all, it is far from being able to solve the near fire, these drawings you gave to the ministers, if you want to really produce them on a large scale, the current level of craftsmanship is really difficult to achieve, as for the hundreds of thousands of students you mentioned, if they want to come in handy, I am afraid it will take a few years to ......."

Zhu Jie rubbed his temples helplessly and replied, "Mao Gong, do you really want to squeeze me dry?" Okay, you first set up a military academy, recruit scholars and teachers, prepare to recruit students, pay attention to find engineers who make steel and make gunpowder, and preferably alchemists, I will communicate with them, although I can't teach them the newer process of refining steel and gunpowder, but as long as they follow my ideas, it won't take too long to succeed......"

"Your Majesty, are you even proficient in steelmaking and gunpowder?"

Xu Yifan asked in amazement.

Zhu Jie said helplessly: "What is proficient, just a little bit of fur, if I am really proficient, I don't need these people, I just go up and do it myself!" ”

Zhu Jie is right, he is not an encyclopedia after all, he understands everything, but the production process of steelmaking and gunpowder has been somewhat understood back then, although the converter steelmaking method and some advanced gunpowder production methods cannot be taken out, but the working principle is still somewhat understood, for those craftsmen who have been immersed in the field of steel and gunpowder all year round, this is not too difficult, as long as they are enlightened, they will naturally be able to develop the process.

Mao Yuanyi smiled: "Your Majesty, do you still need to find someone else?" It's the turn of steelmaking and gunpowder, in the Ming Dynasty, it is rare to surpass Song Changgeng, you only need to connect his old man to the capital, and this problem will be solved! ”

Mao Yuanyi is right, Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" definitely represents the top level in many fields in the world in this era, if he is invited, coupled with Zhu Jie's guidance, maybe the steel process and gunpowder technology can be solved.

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Mao Gong, what you said is right, in these fields, there is really no one in China who can surpass Song Lao, the old man is over seventy years old, and his energy is a little lacking, but it is time for him to enter Beijing to enjoy his old age, pass the decree, summon Song Yingxing to Beijing to wait for the decree, in addition, select a group of craftsmen who are proficient in steelmaking, metallurgy and gunpowder and other processes from Jiangnan, and I will solve the problem of fine steel within a year!" ”

As long as the process problem of stainless steel is solved, with hard steel, you can make machine tools, machine tools, that is the mother of modern industry, the development of any machinery industry is inseparable from the support of machine tools!

During a court meeting, Zhu Jie pointed out a clear direction for the future development of the Ming Dynasty!
