For the powerful bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, although they suffered heavy losses, they could only accept the reality.

After seeing Wang Bin arrested by Xichang and sentenced by the Ming Dynasty, although these powerful bureaucrats breathed a sigh of relief, they still inevitably had to reduce their expenses and save money.

"The imperial court has long issued a strict order that Han people are not allowed to be slaves. Therefore, today, in order of the imperial court, I sent you out of the palace to fend for your own life. ”

In order to save money, these powerful bureaucrats had to take the initiative to raise the banner of the imperial court's decree prohibiting slaves, and began to take the initiative to dismiss the slaves in their own houses.

Li Chengming, Marquis of Wuqing, said to the servants who were about to be sent out of the palace at this time.

It turned out that although the Ming court began to prohibit Han people as slaves very early, it did not enforce it.

In the first place, the policy itself cannot be enforced.

First of all, the Han people surrendered to large households as slaves, and most of them took the initiative.

If you don't let these Han people be slaves, these Han people will not be happy.

Second, the so-called policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and most of the large households keep slaves in the name of adopted sons and daughters, even if they really want to investigate, they can't understand it.

Therefore, in the decree of the Ming court giving the Han people greater freedom, the policy of prohibiting slavery is not as easy to see tangible results as abolishing the military household and medical household system and the lowly registration system.

It is only that when the master's family is restrained from killing his own slave or the slave suing the master, it will give the slave great changes and help in the law.

But many slaves still lived with their master's family, and were financially and even dependently dependent.

Turning back, now that Li Chengming, Marquis of Wuqing, has sent these slaves out of the house, these slaves are naturally unwilling, so they are all crying and saying that they will not leave.

For the slaves who are accustomed to serving their masters in large families and can be clothed and fed without hard work every day, it is natural that they are unwilling to go out to fend for themselves.

But they are unwilling and can't, who made the Marquis of Wuqing, as the main family, suffer heavy losses now, and they can't afford to support so many people anymore.

The other powerful bureaucrats who suffered heavy losses in this Ponzi fraud incident also drove many slaves out of the house.

These slaves who were driven out of the house were confused and lost.

In the past, they could rely on the power of their masters, foxes and tigers, and even ride on the heads of ordinary people to make a fortune, and they were not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains.

It means that there are many unemployed and useless people who have no technical ability in society all of a sudden.

And this naturally needs to be solved by the imperial court.

The imperial court must turn these useless and unemployed people who came out of the powerful bureaucracy into useful people; It is also necessary to let these people change from only serving the old man and young lady to being able to serve the entire society, at least living a normal life with their own hands.

"In order to turn these useless and unemployed people who came out of the powerful and bureaucratic families into people who are useful to society, we can only run schools first, teach them according to their aptitude, and also transform their thinking."

"Therefore, in the opinion of contemptible people, the Ministry of Civil Affairs must first use a sum of money from the Huimin Treasury to build a number of specialized schools, such as agricultural schools that teach farming, engineering schools that teach hundreds of workers, literary schools that teach literature, martial arts schools, and so on."

Zhang Gui therefore brought up the idea of how to solve this problem in the Department of Planning.

Chen Zizhuang said: "It is necessary to run a school, but where to run a school? ”

"And we need to consider the fairness of the issues involved!"

"The children of the world's powerful bureaucrats and the children of the world's serious backgrounds still have to take exams when they enter the official school, so why can these Han people from slave backgrounds directly enter the government-run specialized schools to study, and wait to be cultivated and assigned to work everywhere? People all over the world are afraid to ask the word 'why'. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Gui said: "After choosing where to run the school, it actually solves the problem of fairness. ”

"In the contemptible view, it is entirely possible to set up these specialized government schools in poor and remote and barren places, especially in some places outside the Guanguan, and we can take this opportunity to set up some agricultural and medical official schools, and increase the population outside the Guanxi in the name of running schools."

"At the same time, it is not just to recruit slaves, but all Han people in the world can sign up to study, but ordinary Han people whose family is still good and are not to the point of exhaustion will definitely not be willing to go to any poor and remote places to study, only these slaves who have just left the house, in addition to being arranged by the imperial court to receive training in these places, what other way out?"

"It may not be as Uncle Guo thinks, the Han people who have no way out in the world will really be willing to go to Guanwai for training, live a normal life, set up a career, and marry a wife and have children."

"I'm just afraid that even if there are many landless people who are willing to be sent overseas by the imperial court to divide the fields and land, there will always be a group of people who would rather be relieved and eat porridge every day, and would rather be beggars to beg for food than leave their hometowns.

"Perhaps, they would rather continue to be slaves in other big families, go to the temple to become monks, or even be castrated into the palace by themselves, rather than choose to be a person who relies on his own hands to establish a family with a serious career."

Yuan Keli poured a basin of cold water on Zhang Gui, and based on his actual experience, he put forward his own opinions.

After all, Yuan Keli, as a son of the Guide family, still knows the slaves of large families very well.

Zhang Gui pondered for a while and said, "If you really want to be a beggar, if you want to get something for nothing, you can even do without dignity, then there is no way." But these people had better not sin, and if they do, they should be exiled, exiled to be their beggars. ”

"That's all it can be."

Yuan Keli nodded.

"Tianjin Shipbuilding Academy recruits sailor apprentices, including food and accommodation, and after learning to be a sailor, it will be arranged to be a sailor on major ships, and 500 people will be recruited in the primary election, on a first-come, first-served ......basis."

Once the national policy is agreed upon by the Department of Planning, it will basically be approved by the Apocalypse.

Therefore, one afternoon in the late autumn of the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, a series of official schools set up according to demand began to appear on the chessboard street outside the Daming Gate to recruit people.

Zhang Gui, who was dressed in civilian clothes, was also sitting in a nearby teahouse watching this scene.

What made Zhang Gui happy was that although there were many people wandering on the street who ignored the recruitment of these major official schools, there were still many people who walked towards these recruiting schools and asked about the enrollment policy.

Xie Qian, a slave who was sent out from the Han family of Youtongzheng, was coming out of the temporary admissions office of the Tianjin Shipbuilding Academy at this time, holding a stamped registration form, then looked at his hands, and sighed:

"From now on, I really have to live on my own hands."

As Xie Qian spoke, he asked Jiao An, a slave who was sent out of the mansion with him: "Brother Jiao, what about you, don't you really want to go to a school and learn a craft, so you can have a way out in the future?" ”

Jiao An didn't look at Xie Qian's registration form, and said with a cold smile: "I am poor and starving to death, and I will never learn any craft!" ”

"When I was a slave in the Han family, I didn't need to think about eating and dressing, why did I have to do the hard things that I wouldn't do before. Rather than this, it is better to enter the palace and continue to be a slave, maybe you can also be called an internal minister! ”

"No matter what, everyone has their own ambitions, then I wish my eldest brother a speedy leap."

Xie Qian said and said, "Let's separate!" ”

Zhang Gui happened to see this scene and heard the conversation between the two, so he commanded Liu Zongmin on a whim: "Send someone to keep an eye on these two!" ”

"Yes!"
