…

In fact, even if these four Heavenly Masters don't make a move, those craftsmen are all believers of Huaxu God, and they have received ideological education for up to two years, Tang Hong has given them good land, given them the best educational environment for their children, and has a pension and guidance subsidies, so they have already given up on it, how could they leave with these people.

They know very well that what Tang Hong can give them, other forces can't, that is a kind of class inequality, even if they give a temporary glory and wealth, but sooner or later the technology in their hands will fall behind, not to mention that these technologies are taught to them by Tang Hong's subordinates, as long as Tang Hong comes up with a higher level of technology, they will lose their value, and this glory and wealth will naturally be gone.

In contrast, Tang Hong gave a promise that as long as they reach the age of 48, they can retire, live for a long time, and have a pension every month, and every time they bring out an apprentice, they can get a part of the income of their apprentices in the next ten years, as a guide subsidy, not to mention that as long as there are a few heirs in the family, as long as they go to join the army or go to the academy, they will have military merit fields and Ji Shitian distribution.

However, if you want to join the army now, you need not only physical fitness, but also have to study in the academy for at least three years before you can be admitted, of course, the longer the compulsory education, the easier it is to join the army.

And Qingzhou's compulsory education is a real compulsory education, and most of the wealth in the entire Qingzhou has relied on the criticism conference to enter the treasury of the Marquis of Qi, and Tang Hong has the capital to squander it.

If you get the gold and silver mines of the Japanese country, then you will be even richer, as long as you have money, everything will be easy to do.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, if Chongzhen was rich, coupled with the fierceness of the Ming Dynasty, he might be able to continue his life, but because there was no money, there would be no one without money, which led to Chongzhen's self-hanging.

Of course, it is not only the reason for the lack of money, there are many factors, but the lack of money is a very important factor.

It can be seen that money is needed by anyone, especially a country.

And now, Tang Hong has money in his hands, he can squander it to his heart's content, buy the hearts of the people, plus a series of government decrees and newspapers, the scholars and wealthy families have no accidents, Tang Hong has reduced some agricultural taxes from time to time in the past three years, but in order to avoid fiscal deficits, Tang Hong naturally vigorously developed business, and attracted businessmen by reducing and reducing some commercial taxes.

It also passed a decree to force sixty percent of the workers in the workshops to be locals, and at the same time clearly stipulated that the working hours of a day should not exceed six hours, but the merchants were allowed to use two or three shifts to improve efficiency.

Tang Hong set up the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and distributed the market share of books through the ranking of franchise fees given by Jia Jia every year, and the rule-maker was naturally determined by Qihou Tang Hong.

Of course, some of these books are written by transcendent people, and these books undoubtedly contain some views and private goods on the Qingzhou side, as well as some relevant government decrees, systems, and benefits.

These books must be bought, and all businessmen who want to gain market share in the book market must buy a part of these books.

Of course, Tang Hong can give them away for free, but in that case, the businessmen can use these books as toilet paper, and let the businessmen spend money to buy them, with the businessmen's profit-seeking nature, in order not to lose money and lose money, they will inevitably vigorously promote these books to avoid these books from being smashed in their hands.

Of course, there are also some merchants who want to get paper and that kind of printing technology.

Among them, there is no difficulty in the printing technology, the only difficulty is the material of the Yangwen template, as well as some details.

Only paper is difficult, and it cannot be cracked in a short time.

As books were sold in other states, the paper that made up the books attracted the attention of many scholars, and some of the great Confucians who wanted to spread their own doctrines even had to put down their bodies to ask these merchants who sold books, who were willing to pay a high price for these papers, and hoped that through printing, their doctrines would be spread all over the world.

These Confucians know very well that these papers must be low-cost, otherwise there would not be so many books, but this low-cost paper is hard to find, and the paper in these books, both on the front and back, is full of words, which cannot meet the needs of these Confucians.

After learning that this paper is only available in Qingzhou, he was disappointed.

They have all learned about Qingzhou's decrees through books, and except for the "Theory of Education", none of them are to their liking.

They all know very well that in Qingzhou, the scholars and wealthy clans are suppressed existences, and the lord of Qingzhou, Qi Hou, relies on strange skills to conquer Qingzhou, and the status of literati in Qingzhou does not have any preferential treatment, and I don't know how many scholars in Qingzhou are declining every day.

After learning that Qingzhou was preparing to stop fighting for three years, he decided that Qingzhou had no hope, and after three years, Qingzhou's advantage was bound to be all, and the number of strange tricks was also limited, and it was difficult to become a climate at all.

However, these Confucians, who want to pass on their doctrines, decided to go to Qingzhou together after joint discussion, and must let the Marquis of Qi, who cares about the common people in the world, hand over the papermaking technology, so that the Confucianism and Taoism in the world will flourish and benefit all the people, which must be a great merit.

However, the truth slapped these Confucians in the face.

Qi Hou responded unceremoniously through the newspaper to the book of these great Confucians, papermaking is the painstaking efforts of Qingzhou craftsmen to create, why do you Confucian open your mouth, don't pay anything, like asking for it? Are you Confucians born superior to others, and only care about whether your own doctrine can be passed on, without considering the hard work of these craftsmen?

Are these craftsmen not human beings, their hard work is not worth mentioning, and the hard work of you Confucian is more expensive than a thousand gold?

Furthermore, most of the paper has to be made into the classics of the sages, is it your doctrine that is important, or is the doctrine of the sages important?

If you want paper, you can, 100 gold a piece, and the cost of making a book will be calculated separately.

Tang Hong's counterattack made these Confucians angry, they really took it for granted that they were superior, those craftsmen should offer papermaking without complaint for them to use for free, those strange skills and tricks are difficult to get into the hall of elegance, they use the results of these craftsmen, that is to give them face.

But they couldn't fight back in the newspaper at all, so they could only leave in resentment, and after returning home, they added fuel and vinegar to say that the Qingzhou Qi Marquis was a tyrant, obsessed with the tricky and clever lord of lies, and then spread their words through their students and disciples.

When Tang Hong learned about it, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.

Because, it is the strange skills and ingenuity of these great Confucians, who seem to be difficult to reach the hall of elegance, which led to the subsequent Eight-Nation Alliance, which led to the result of the forced westernization of China.

For thousands of years, there was no intellectual property protection in the Shenzhou Continent, which led to the unsustainable life of craftsmen, and a large number of technologies were lost.

Whose pot is this?

Great Qin's military technology was ahead of the whole world thousands of years ago, but what about thousands of years later?

And the indoctrination in the mouths of these great Confucians is to give away their own technology to other barbarians for free for no reason, that is, to kneel on the ground, shave the tail of the money rat, and call themselves slaves!

Did the Great Confucianism educate the barbarians, or did the barbarians educate the Great Confucians?

In the previous life, the Donglin Party, which was able to have a hard anal with the Ming Emperor, arrived in the Qing Dynasty?

What is the reason for this?

It's cheap!

It was the Manchu Qing who killed them, and killed these great Confucians who shouted the Holy Lord Mingjun, and the chaff was scarce and prosperous.

And now, Tang Hong has decided that in three years, he will learn from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, wave the butcher's knife, kill him, and come out in an unprecedented prosperous world!

And Tang Hong naturally wouldn't let these Confucians be too comfortable, so he directly wrote the causes and consequences in the newspapers, and sold these newspapers to all states in the world through the internal businessmen of the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce, and then arranged storytellers by local Taoists to explain the newspapers!

Tang Hong wanted to use public opinion to let them, the people represented by the great Confucianism, spurn them.

And other than that, Tang Hong is concentrating on cultivation.

Since entering the realm of real people, the cultivation speed has plummeted, and he can only rely on the kung fu of the water mill to slowly accumulate.

On the other hand, because of the emergence of the imperial examination system in Qingzhou, the scholars of the Hanmen who were attracted to it, after several months of gathering and hurrying, were pouring into Qingl Island City at this moment, and they were immediately attracted by the strange scene in the city.

Ginkgo biloba, peach blossoms and other ornamental trees are planted everywhere in the city, it is autumn at the moment, a golden yellow outside the city, and in the city, it is full of golden ginkgo leaves, the whole city is prosperous and quiet coexists, there are several parks in the city, at this moment the talented and beautiful people gather in the park, or whisper to talk, or quietly enjoy the autumn scenery, the restaurant near the park, the teahouse, there are also many secluded places, which are deeply loved by the scholars.

And the business district, naturally is very prosperous, all kinds of cries and laughter are common here, here, the price of books is low, after all, there is less freight, naturally a lot cheaper, greatly stimulated the scholars' desire to buy, and even planned to buy a few more books, and take them home with the villagers.

In addition to the ginkgo biloba in autumn, there is also the flowering period of peach blossoms, which ensures that each season of Qingl Island Castle has its own unique charm.

In the land of China, there may be a few things missing, but only the scholars who want to be officials are indispensable, even if Tang Hong's series of decrees are not friendly to them, but for the scholars of the poor family, the rule of the land, the pension, the pension, and the free education are all important factors that attract them.

For these scholars, if they want to continue their studies, they only need to sign a contract, and promise that after completing their studies, they will be exempted from tuition fees, and they can even be subsidized, but if they try to break the contract, Qingzhou has the right to imprison them or even kill them.

If you don't want to sign this contract, you can, Tang Hong is willing to give a certain number of work-study places, but they can only study for two years.

After all, Tang Hong did not have the cheap habit of cultivating talents for the enemy.

This is not a modern society, with other countries, or some kind of people's rights organization as a-stirring stick.

According to Qingzhou's official statistics, more than 8,000 people participated in the imperial examination this year, most of whom were scholars from poor families, but it is expected that the number of reference will exceed 10,000 next year, and more than half of them are willing to study and participate in the imperial examination over and over again.

Tang Hong must take into account the food and housing problems of these people, and in order to prevent them from being too miserable, he has to create some jobs for them, presumably there will be businessmen who are willing to hire them, but if these scholars are arrogant, hold their own identities, and disdain to work for businessmen, then Tang Hong does not want to care whether he lives or dies.

Of course, these things are done by the people below, Tang Hong just glanced at it, and just had a number in his heart.

The world of Daxu is still the world of Taoism after all, these problems of competing for hegemony and governing the world, the transcendents can be said to be familiar with the road, and they don't need Tang Hong to do it himself, wasting his own little energy.

At present, the main problem is naturally the ships, the number of ships is not enough at present, and the Wa Kingdom is not without extraordinary strength, so Tang Hong plans to gather the four Heavenly Masters and real people to go to the Wa Kingdom, and use their power to sweep away the extraordinary power of the Wa Kingdom, and carry out the spread of faith in Huaxu God and the Houtu.

In addition to the renovated ships, Tang Hong also built a lot of ships, without exception, all of them more or less added the principle of flying clippers, to act as escort ships, cargo ships, and even as the flagship of the Qin Shi Huang, but for the sake of protection capabilities, the number of cannons, the number of loaded troops, the speed was greatly sacrificed, which was also no way.

After half a month of imperial examinations, in the end, Qingzhou officials admitted two hundred and three people from 8,000 people, of which the champion received 300 acres of champion fields given by the Marquis of Qi, as well as a mansion in the capital, and even promised that as long as the two were happy, Tang Hong was willing to give marriage.

In addition to the champion, Bangyan and Tanhua also have their own rewards, and the first list of scholars also has a reward of thirty acres of land, and they have been given a sword by Tang Hong, as for the second list of scholars, there are only ten acres of land and a sword.

As for the fallen scholars, there is nothing.

As for the imperial examination project, Tang Hong strictly followed the ancient six arts of the Zhou Dynasty, and added some practical subjects, which led to many people who only knew rote memorization and did not know how to shoot the royal number.

And Tang Hong clearly told these scholars that the number of imperial books is the six arts, and it is not made up by him, and Tang Hong values the mathematics the most, if you want to be an official, you don't know mathematics, what kind of official are you supposed to be?

As for swordsmanship, if you don't know how to do swordsmanship, how can you get mixed up in the martial Qingzhou officialdom?

A group of scholars, stunned, were made to have no temper at all, after all, the first and second lists were admitted, but you were not admitted, what face do you have to speak? Since you want to be an official in Qingzhou, you have to come according to the regulations of Qingzhou.

After all, chess games are owned by other people, and if you want to play chess, you must abide by this rule.

As for the rule-maker, it is naturally Tang Hong.

He not only wants to be the specifier of Qingzhou's rules, but also the standard-setter of the whole world, if you Taixi people want to mix, you must abide by Tang Hong's standards, otherwise it will be a fake and shoddy product.
