Chapter 261: Reward Mechanism

"Let Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, and Wang Qiong come to see me."

"The slave will send someone to invite you."

Zhu Houwei continued to read the recital, the recital that had been combed by the master of ceremonies looked much simpler, there was not so much, and the master of ceremonies directly sorted out the things that the chapter wanted to expound, and it seemed naturally clear at a glance.

Zhu Houwei still doesn't understand why Confucian officials like to talk so much when they write chapters, and they have to write a few pages of paper when they can clearly explain things in three or two sentences, as if they don't write like this, as if they don't write like this, they seem to be not very talented, which is really painful.

It's no wonder that so many emperors in history like to neglect their government, and they are all forced.

Now the two letters in Zhu Houwei's hand are the whole book, one is from Yan Song and the other is from Wang Shouren.

This is also what Zhu Houwei specially explained, he doesn't need a summary of the celebrant supervisor, he needs to read the full text.

"Wang Shouren is indeed a capable person." Zhu Houwei closed the music and praised it.

If there is one word to describe Zhu Houwei's expression at this moment, it is Long Yan Dayue.

Without spending a penny in taxes and money, he only raised funds to build schools through businessmen, and built nearly 2,000 township schools and 58 county schools in Nanzhili, which is an excellent achievement.

But if you talk about it, the wealthy gentry of Nanzhili can be regarded as being cheated by Wang Shouren.

For the vast majority of people, the so-called township school or county school is actually a larger private school.

Therefore, these wealthy businessmen did not reject this kind of thing that can get fame and spend much money.

What's more, Wang Shouren is a second-grade Beijing official, and he has the Sword of Heaven in his hand, and the businessman who does not have a strong background is not very willing to offend such a character, but is willing to build a school to show favor to him.

But who would have thought that after being fooled by Wang Shouren and signing the promise, the businessman found that the so-called township school and county school were completely different from the imaginary private school.

The so-called private school is nothing more than a few rooms, and then recruit a few hopeless old children to teach as a teacher.

Who would have thought that it wasn't like that at all!

The township school drawings taken out by Wang Xunxue have a townhouse teaching area, a canteen for school children, and a playground that I don't know what to call ......

When it came to the county school, a dormitory area and a library were also added......

Compared with a simple private school, the regulations of this county school are almost catching up with the Guozijian......

The increase in specifications naturally means an increase in cost, originally thought that to build a township school, even if the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and the silver for consulting and learning are all counted, it can be done for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but now it can only be done.

Pen, ink, paper, and inkstone don't seem to be worth a few dollars, but based on five hundred schoolchildren, and it is still a long-lasting consumable, the silver will be spent in the sea.

As for teaching, according to Wang Shouren, each township school is calculated according to 500 students, and at least 10 initiation teachers and arithmetic teachers are required, as well as a principal.

Of course, there is no need for merchants to worry about teaching and learning, and there is no need for merchants to come out of the bundles of teaching, and the silver of the bundles is that the principals of each township school regularly apply to the royal money bank, and finally settle the settlement.

How much silver does it cost?

If it is a private school in the village, then the large households or private households in the village will raise funds, and it will be about the same as two taels of silver a month, and it is really impossible to afford it.

But Xiangxue also came up with a competition mechanism......

How to compete?

Quite simply, the bundle is rewarded.

The basic bundle of each teacher is one or two silver, and then the township school will conduct an assessment every three months, and the amount of reward will be determined according to the assessment results.

The assessment is divided into enlightenment assessment and arithmetic assessment.

For example, if the arithmetic test of the first class ranks first, then there is no reward for the arithmetic teaching of the first class, and the second class ranks second-to-last, then the arithmetic teaching can get a reward of five dollars of silver per month for three consecutive months.

If there are ten classes, then the first class, its corresponding teaching, there will be a reward of five taels of silver every month, plus a basic bundle of one tael, a month is six taels!

Who will come up with the questions for the exam?

It can be individual schools, or it can be the county school yamen that are already in preparation.

The functions of the Xingxue Yamen were similar to those of the Education Bureau in later generations.

Of course, the answer to whether there will be any such things as favoritism, favoritism, or black-box operations in the appraisal is certain, but there is no way, and at present we can only hope for the professional ethics of officials.

But don't worry too much, after all, the biggest reason for favoritism is still profitable, the reward mechanism is based on the teaching and class to reward the silver, the money allocated by the bank is also a quota, there is not much and you want to be corrupt, then you have to see if it will be reported.

Zhu Houwei didn't expect Wang Shouren to play a reward mechanism, which he didn't say, but it is conceivable that with this set of mechanisms, those teachers will inevitably work hard to teach in order to get more rewards, instead of calmly messing around.

According to the current progress, there should be no problem in completing the laying of all the township schools in Nanzhili before August, and the first batch of schoolchildren will enter the township schools in early August, thus completely opening the curtain of the school.

"Send someone to Nanjing, tell Zhu Ming, and let him resign." Zhu Houwei closed Wang Shouren's recital and pinched the end of his nose helplessly.

The greatest authority of the emperor is the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and the greatest foundation for consolidating power comes from the allegiance of the army.

The emperor who does not have military allegiance as a confidence is a toothless tiger raised in the palace and manipulated by the ministers, and the emperor who has no right to appoint personnel is completely a mascot.

But in the Ming Dynasty, the appointment of low-level officials was directly managed by the officials, and the emperor did not like to meddle in the personnel appointment of low-level officials, and he could not afford to lose that person without that energy.

But not appointing does not mean that there is no right to appoint, such as Tang Yin's Yangzhou prefect, no matter how noisy the civil officials are, it is useless, which in itself is one of the emperor's irreversible wills.

However, it is really difficult for the Ming Emperor to intervene in high-level officials, that is, officials at the level from Shilang to Shangshu and Jiuqing, because the appointment of officials at this level is based on the system of court push, that is, meeting push.

Of course, Tingtui does not mean that the emperor is deprived of the right to appoint personnel, because no matter how you push, the final result of the push must be decided by the emperor before he can take office, and if the emperor is not satisfied, he can directly reject the re-push.

However, the emperor has the power to reject, but he does not have the power to directly appoint officials at this level, because direct appointment is called Zhongzhi, and officials appointed by Zhongzhi do not dare to take office, otherwise they will be spurned by the entire officialdom.

Zhu Houwei's appointment of Wang Shouren as a student envoy is not a central order, and it also needs to be carried out a meeting to push away a process, even if it is an internal decision, at least the minister's face is saved......
