Of course Liu Yu can't laugh, what kind of person says what kind of thing, if it is someone else, saying these words is called not knowing the sky and the earth, but looking at the recent actions of Xinfutai, there is no one who has never been before or after, Liu Yu hurriedly said: "I don't know what Futai is sending?" ”

The word dispatch, it can be seen that Liu Yu put his posture very low.

Xu Qian smiled slightly: "I came to see you today, just hoping that the uncle can come forward to do a small favor, didn't the uncle say last time that he was willing to raise 50,000 taels of silver to widen the river?" In addition to widening the river, but also to build bridges and roads, in addition, the ports in Ningbo and other places should also be repaired, as well as schools, the same is true, the official intends to build schools in each county, for the children of the county to study, of course, reading can not be free, but also have to collect some money, therefore, the official intends to set up a money and grain bureau under the governor's yamen, this money and grain bureau on the one hand to accept the gentry and businessmen to raise donations, after the amount of donations, and then according to the cadre shares to distribute, to be the river repair, road construction, After the port is repaired and the school is opened, the profits will be distributed in the form of dividends according to the amount of donations raised by everyone, except for the necessary maintenance. The uncle is highly respected, and if he is willing to be named the director of the Money and Food Bureau, then the matter will be settled. ”

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood Xu Qian's intentions, widening the river is definitely a money-making business, as long as it is built, in the future, a large number of ships in Ningbo will go to sea and export goods, then it is bound that Zhejiang's river network will sit on the ground to collect money, and it will definitely be a lot of oil and water.

In addition, the port of Ningbo is built, and the income will never be less, but the construction of roads and schools may not be a 10,000-profit transaction, and even the construction of schools can also lose money, the meaning of Futai is obviously very clear. Pack up all the projects, whether it has income or no income, and let everyone raise donations for this bundled money and grain bureau, which has an advantage, one is to prevent everyone from raising money to widen the river, and no one goes to the fundraising school, and everyone naturally hopes to donate as much as they want to donate to profitable projects, after all, this is a business that sits on the ground to collect money, but it is not profitable. People often avoid it, and the result is that although the river is widened, there is no school, so it only improves the convenience of transportation. but there is no edification.

Please go out of the mountain by yourself, naturally because of your own prestige, the gentry are like this, they all like to follow the trend, there is no one who is virtuous and respectful, no one is willing to pay money, everyone is fine.

Merely. What does Xu Qian want to build so many schools? Each county has to build one, which is a bit extravagant, and the average official wants to make political achievements, and often he repairs the county school and the government school. However, the county school and the government school are not really places to teach, but more like the education bureau of later generations, which does not provide teaching business in terms of function, and occasionally gives lectures. And since Xu Qian wants to build a school, it must be for educational purposes. The problem is that in addition to such wonderful counties as Qiantang and Renhe, most counties have a population of only 100,000 people, and some counties are remote, only 40,000 or 50,000 people.

Liu Yu began to ponder, this Xu Qian's appetite is too big, people are cultivating county schools, and he is going to build a school, this is not only to engage in political achievements, it is clearly to toss, Liu Yu couldn't help but say: "Adults say that there are fees in school, but I don't know how much fees are charged?" ”

Xu Qian had expected that he would ask, he would definitely not ask more about widening the river, the problem was that this was a clear money-losing deal Liu Yu would definitely break the casserole and ask in the end, after all, he had to figure out how much the school would lose money.

Xu Qian said: "This school is naturally not as good as the county school, each person enrolls in the school, and pays two thousand yuan a year. ”

Two thousand dollars is not a lot, if there are many students, it is barely the maintenance after the construction of the school, and the professors' retainer money.

However, it is already rare to be able to barely maintain it, Liu Yu is afraid that the school will be built in the future, and he will have to take a lot of money to subsidize the school, which is a deal that I don't know when it will end.

He couldn't help but smile: "Isn't it a waste of adults, after all, there are not many people who read in a county, and it is enough to have a county school." ”

Xu Qian said with a straight face: "Uncle's words are wrong, didn't Uncle still want to do business a few days ago?" If you want to open a few dyeing workshops and set up a few silk workshops, may I ask your uncle, where does this craftsman come from? In the future, Zhejiang here, there are many workshops, but the craftsman is insufficient, at that time, a good craftsman is worth a lot of money, the official is also taking precautions, building a school, not only to teach the Jingyi Road, but also to teach skills, the Hanlin Academy, the encyclopedia of engineering has been revised almost, the so-called engineering, nothing more than weaving, iron, ......"

At this moment, Liu Yu's eyes were about to fall, this Xu Qian ran a school, and it was actually a technical school.

Liu Yu couldn't help but say: "How can such skills be elegant?" ”

Xu Qian said patiently: "Jingyi is learning, isn't skill learning?" The gentleman still learns the six arts, and even Hanlin has compiled a complete book of engineering and miscellaneous studies, so can't he even teach the knowledge of engineering and miscellaneous studies? In fact, running a school can also make money, I just ask you, how many years does it take for an apprentice to become a craftsman? Even if someone is sincerely willing to help, it is impossible to do without seven or eight years of work, and some even need ten or twenty years, and in the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau, a craftsman's salary is twenty taels of silver a year, and an apprentice is only three or four taels, those children of poor families, of course, can not read, can not learn the road of righteousness, can not become a saint's protégé, can not get fame, but if you are willing to study, you can have the money to live a life, who does not want their children to learn a craft, when the new school is built, there must be people rushing to it, I'll calculate an account for you, if it is Qingtian County, can attract five hundred such children, the annual income of the school can be as high as one thousand taels, remove the maintenance and professor's retainer, and still maintain the income of four or five hundred taels of silver per year, naturally, we can not only teach skills, but also ask Confucianism to teach the way of scripture and righteousness, after all, scripture and righteousness are the right way, Jiangnan is popular Wang Xue, Wang Xue there, naturally strongly support the establishment of a school, even if some people criticize, there is Wang Xue and work together to fight back. ”

Liu Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, where is this Futai, it is simply a profiteer, and even the school can make money, but after thinking about it like this, the school can still be profitable, it seems to be good, but Liu Yu still has some concerns, and can't help but say: "I'm afraid that someone in the court will criticize me." ”

Xu Qian sneered: "What are you afraid of, some people in the court criticize it, but it is Wang Xue who prevails in Jiangnan, and there are officials in Jiangnan who fight for it on their own basis, this is one of them." Moreover, even the Hanlin Academy has compiled a complete book of miscellaneous studies, which means that the imperial court has recognized miscellaneous studies, although miscellaneous studies are not the right way, but since they exist, they have their value, could it be that the children of the saints are sick and do not need to be diagnosed and treated by doctors? Isn't it true that the books read by the children of the saints should not be printed by men? It is not to deny that sacred learning is the right way, but to set up some miscellaneous subjects to give people a livelihood. Uncle, you have to come forward in this matter, only if you come forward, this money and grain bureau can succeed, after the success, not only will it benefit a lot, but more importantly, it can be regarded as a merit. ”

Liu Yu hesitated for a while, in fact, Xu Qian asked him to come forward, just to let him stand in line, Uncle Liu didn't want to stand in line, but at the moment, it seemed that he couldn't stand in line, so he had to smile bitterly: "Okay, the old man has to reluctantly make it difficult." ”

Xu Qian was overjoyed: "The big thing has been done." ”

After the secret discussion, Xu Qian said goodbye to Liu Yu, who was in a complicated mood, returned to the governor's yamen in a sedan chair, immediately summoned his friends, and said to Niu Jin, who was in charge of money and grain: "Sincerity Uncle has agreed, you immediately send out the notice, let people go to Ruyifang to say hello, this money and grain bureau will be done immediately, and all projects will start next month." ”

Niu Jin was overjoyed and said: "With him coming forward, it will be easy to do anything, but to promote this matter, you have to ask Mr. Wang to come out." His eyes were on Wang Gen.

Wang Gen couldn't help but smile bitterly, of course he knew why he wanted to come forward, as the head of Wang Xue, he had to come out and raise his arms, for example, the matter of running a school, the planning of the school has long been there, the whole school is divided into the upper courtyard and the lower courtyard, the upper courtyard teaches Wang Xue, and the lower courtyard teaches engineering and miscellaneous subjects, which is equivalent to tying Xu Qian's private goods to Wang Xue, Xu Qian ran Wang Xuexue, and made such a big move, and built forty or fifty schools in Zhejiang at one time, these may be Wang Xue's activity base in the future, and will also become the backbone of Wang Xue, But Xu Qian just wanted to get a lower courtyard and make some messy things, but he still had to use the name of Wang Xue, which shows that many facts in this world cannot be both, Wang Gen hesitated for a moment and said: "The old man will write it." ”

The meaning of writing is to express his position, so that everyone strongly supports the construction of the school, to build the school, it will definitely be incomprehensible and even scolded, and Wang Gen wrote, first unite Wang Xue's people, and plan to scold in the air.

Xu Qian finally looked at Zhou Tai and said, "Lord Zhou, what is the way to patrol Zhou Chang, in recent days, it is said that he is very active. ”

Zhou Taidao: "I've heard of it, it must be just grandstanding." ”

Xu Qian shook his head lightly: "It doesn't matter if he is grandstanding, he should be cleaned up immediately, it is really an eyesore in front of him, this Zhejiang, in order to be sincere and united, the one who is willing to unite is his own family, and those who are unwilling to unite will let him be ruined and let him become a rat crossing the street, this is called killing chickens and monkeys, in order to set an example, only in this way, these prefectures and counties, as well as political envoys, scholars, and punishments, are in step with the governor Yamen, and if you don't see blood, there will be people who want to brush your tiger whiskers." ”
