Chapter 52: Education and Technology

Xun Guangyuan stopped, Xu Chuan didn't care about him anymore, and then presided over the meeting.

"At present, all I can think of is the six departments of the Ministry of Military, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Education, which need to be subdivided in the future, and now these departments are under the management of the 'Government Affairs Department'."

"As for the government affairs department, it is currently managed by me, and the key now is that all departments need to be set up as soon as possible, only in this way can we run at a high speed as soon as possible and get on the right track."

"What do you uncles and grandfathers think of here?" Xu Chuan looked around and asked as he looked at the elders sitting at the long table.

"It's good that I'm in charge of my ironworks, and I don't participate in any labor-management scientific examinations anyway."

Old Man Xu said, and by the way, he pressed only a small piece of cigarette in his hand into the ashtray made of bamboo in front of him. For him, it is impossible to participate in the Laozi scientific examination or something like that anyway, if this grandson dares to ask him to go, it will be good to beat him directly.

"I also think the carpenter work I'm doing now is pretty good, what kind of department."

Miao Laosan also said that for these old people, most of them belong to the kind of ordinary people who have no ambition and are content as long as they can live well.

In the entire three-regardless area, there are only a few people such as the Xun family who have this kind of thought.

Otherwise, these three areas would have been chaotic because of various power struggles, how could they still be as peaceful as they are now.

For most of the patriarchs present, they didn't have any official positions in the past and now, and they all belonged to the kind of people who were content and happy. They had no interest in the ministry that Xu Chuan wanted to form.

Only a few young people who came on behalf of the elders of the family who were inconvenient to travel were on fire.

After all, as a hot-blooded young man, who doesn't want to make a contribution, and who doesn't want to be in charge?

......

Hearing the answers of these elders, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "At present, I'm afraid that the responsibilities of these departments can really only be performed by your uncles and grandfathers. After all, it is difficult for others to convince the public when they go up. ”

"Then the matter about the various departments and the government affairs department will be decided in this way for the time being, as for the heads of the three departments of the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Education, do you have any recommendations?"

At the long table, Xu Chuan looked at the elders present and asked.

Hearing this, everyone in the conference room suddenly looked at each other, you look at me and I look at you, but Xun Guangyuan lowered his head and his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ahem, these personnel, it's good for you to decide, we don't understand this, and we don't have any opinions." There was silence for a while, and Jing Chengwen, who was sitting at the long table, coughed and said.

As soon as these words came out, they immediately resonated with everyone.

"Yes, Nephew Chuan, it's good for you to decide, we old guys are absolutely obedient, besides, we don't know how to do business, let alone read or anything."

"Let's a group of old people, don't delay your business, as long as the three of us don't care about the better, it's okay."

“......”

In the conference room, everyone answered with a smile, and everyone didn't want to accept these ministerial positions.

The first is that these simple old men really have no ambition, and the second is that they are worried that they are not capable enough and will do bad things.

After all, as Xu Chuan said before, to do business, to double the rice yield, to teach and educate people, this is a field that most of you have never been exposed to.

The fear of bad things and the fear of their own incompetence will be vividly reflected here, of course, this also shows that these patriarchs are simple-minded and have no desire to fight for power and profit.

Hearing these words, Xu Chuan smiled bitterly again, these things can't all be piled up to him alone, he can't be busy.

"Nephew Chuan, how about the management of the Ministry of Education? Although he is not talented, he also went to the imperial court in Chu State, read some books, and learned some management. Xun Guangyuan was silent for a while, and then touched his beard and said to himself.

Originally, Xu Chuan was very happy to hear that someone had recommended himself, but when he saw that it was Xun Guangyuan, the old man, he immediately frowned.

The Ministry of Education is important, and he doesn't want to put it in the hands of this hardened, stubborn old man.

Especially some of the educational concepts in the back are completely different from the readers of this era, Xu Chuan didn't want to quarrel to death in the back, so he simply refused it at the beginning.

After thinking about it, he said: "The things that the Ministry of Education wants to teach are completely different from the knowledge you have learned, Old Man Xun, including the teaching materials, and will not use the Four Books and Five Classics, Expanding the Virtuous Texts, Maxims Lianbi, and Zizhi Tongjian, I'm afraid your old man is not suitable." ”

Xu Chuan directly rejected Xun Guangyuan's self-recommendation, and his straightforward words made Xun Guangyuan's old face red.

He never thought that he would be rejected if he took the initiative to put down his body and apply for the management of the Ministry of Education.

Ignoring Xun Guangyuan, Xu Chuan set his eyes on Gao Yuanju, who was sitting at the end of the long table.

"Elder Gao, your old man is currently running a school, and he is very experienced in teaching and educating people, how about you manage the affairs of the Ministry of Education?"

At the long table, Gao Yuanju was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this to happen to him.

Although he does open a school, it is too insignificant for people like Xun Guangyuan who have been in and out of the court, and the Xun family is also a regular scholarly family, which is more suitable for the position of the Ministry of Education.

"I don't have any problem teaching, but what I have learned is also the Four Books and Five Classics, and the thousand-character text, which is probably completely different from the new education you said in Nephew Sichuan." Gao Yuanju touched his beard and smiled bitterly.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will decide what to teach, and as for the books used, I will also provide them, but I need your old man's assistance." ”

Compared with handing over the Ministry of Education to Xun Guangyuan, Gao Yuanju is more suitable, Gao Lao's reputation has always been very good in the three areas, and the last time he protected the reform of the town guard, he also supported himself.

The importance of education, Xu Chuan knows better than anyone else, if the three areas want to develop at a high speed and maintain their superiority, they cannot do without education and technology.

Education cultivates talents, talents invent science and technology, and science and technology drive development, and so on, so that we can always maintain the advanced nature of the three areas.

Before the crossing, the reason why his motherland was backward in development was that from ancient times to the present, science and technology were not put in the first place, and it was not the most important.

Invention is very important, but inventors also need to eat, Xu Chuan has to learn this lesson, so he specially got a Ministry of Science and Technology.

The Ministry of Science and Technology and other departments are at the same level and are directly under the jurisdiction of the Government Affairs Department.

Anyone who has the ability can walk in with their own achievements, can come from all walks of life, as long as the invented items have practical value, they can be certified in the Ministry of Science and Technology.
