Chapter Seventy-One: Inspecting Schools
October 27, the second day of the recovery of Quanzhou.
Thanks to the efforts of the new prefect Chen Qiao and his fellow governor Xie Kan, the city gradually emerged from the effects of the war, the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased, the merchants began to open, and the gates leading to the port were reopened, allowing foreign merchant ships to enter the port.
Just to prevent the Qing court's meticulous work from entering the city, all city gates were strictly guarded, and Su Yan also summoned the two teams of Russian garrisons, changed them into armor in the arsenal, and became the city defense army. (The front is mixed with the capital shooting army and has been revised)
It is worth mentioning that the Russian garrison is not equipped with muskets, but only with a large axe, and as a militia unit, they have another outstanding feature - they can improve law and order when stationed in the city.
After Su Yan was ready, he would let the Russian garrison and the militia assume the responsibility of the city defense army together, of course, it would be necessary to wait for the recruitment pressure to be reduced before recruiting these two branches of the army.
No matter what you say later.
Now Su Yan has changed into civilian clothes, accompanied by Chen Ying, rode through the Chongyang Gate of Zicheng and walked towards Fuxue, which is located next to the Confucian Temple.
Speaking of which, the Chongwen atmosphere in the city of Quanzhou is strong, there are two Confucian temples, a Tibetan scripture pavilion, a government school, a county school, and a college office, of course, this is only an official large academic institution, like a small private academic institution such as private schools, social studies and academies, etc., there are a lot.
Walking on the street, Su Yan noticed that most of the people in the city cut off the ugly money rattail on their heads, which was not stipulated by Su Yan from the official level, but was done spontaneously by the common people, which shows how much the people hate this ugly braid.
It's just that they didn't dare to show it under the rule of the Qing court in the past, but now that there is no restraint, they can't wait to cut off their braids.
Passing through the Chongyang Gate, Su Yan saw a group of people whispering around the place where the notice was posted next to the city gate, and he crossed the big bald head on the horse, squinting at the content of the notice, and after only looking at it for a while, he looked away.
"I didn't expect the rebels to move so quickly, and the policy of apportioning the land into the mu was implemented the next day."
"Who says it's not, if this policy can really be implemented, it will be blessed to us little people, the three acres of land in my family finally don't have to work hard for a year, and I almost can't pay the government's taxes."
"This is good, Master Chen's house is a hundred acres of fertile land, and the tax paid in the coming year is equivalent to cutting a piece of meat on him."
"Are you talking about the old man Chen who lives in Renfengmen? Hey, that Chen Papi, there's a good show to watch. ”
“……”
Listening to the conversation of a few people who walked past him, Su Yan bowed slightly, and Chen Ying smiled at this time: "General, it seems that your policy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”
"As long as we can gain the support of the people, there is no need to worry about the next war against the Qing court." Su Yan said with emotion.
This incident is just a small episode, Su Yan and the two soon came to Fuxue, this is a large-scale, very rich in southern Fujian characteristics of the building complex, on the vermilion gate, the big gold plaque on the big "Fuxue" word is very magnificent.
Outside the school, there happened to be a person who was sweeping the ground with a bamboo broom, and when he saw the two of them coming on horseback, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop, he first bowed down, and then said: "The two gentlemen came to this school to study, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Ying was about to speak, but Su Yan raised his hand to interrupt him, and also hugged his fist and saluted back, saying, "Contemptible Su Yan is here to find the new sacrificial wine He Jiuyun." ”
"It turned out to be General Su." When the man heard this, he quickly bowed respectfully again and said, "Please come with me." ”
Su Yan bowed his head, turned over and dismounted, tied the horse outside with Chen Ying, and followed the man into the gate of Fuxue.
As soon as he entered the gate, Su Yan heard the sound of reading aloud from all around, and the obvious Hokkien accent could be heard in the reading sound, which was no way, even in the era of comprehensive promotion of Mandarin in later generations, people all over the country still retained their local accents more or less.
The servant led Su Yan and the others to a room with the door wide open, and he saluted and said, "General Su, the wine lord is inside, please, the villain will retire first." ”
"I'm tired." Su Yan smiled at him approachingly, then stepped forward, knocked on the door, and strode in.
As soon as he entered the room, Su Yan saw He Jiuyun sitting behind a desk, holding a book in his hand and reading, and when he saw someone walking in, he put down the book.
"General." Seeing that it was Su Yan, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
Su Yan nodded and said, "I came here this time to give you a task, and by the way, I want to inspect the situation of Fuxue." ”
"Tell me." He Jiuyun Road.
"Hmm...... At present, our army has no similar individual weapons except for the previous homemade earth-made thunderbolts, so I hope that you can develop a grenade for our army based on the improved thunderbolts, and I will give you 5,000 taels for the time being, how about it? ”
Here is an explanation, if Su Yan wants to let the university study science and technology, he can't do it through the science and technology section of the system, he also wants to mention his own ideas, the system technology plate he has is different from the game, his one is more like a technology tree, indicating the direction that Su Yan needs to study next.
"Subordinates receive orders." He Jiuyun shook again and said.
"Very well, then come with me to the academy for a round." Su Yan said with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, he took the lead out of the room.
Then, he walked around the academy and found that there were quite a lot of people who came to study in the academy, but the scope of study was still the Four Books and Five Classics, and the doctors taught them were all in the category of Baguwen, and after turning around, Su Yan frowned.
"The harm of the eight shares is equivalent to the burning of books, and the corruption of talents is even greater than that of the suburbs of Xianyang." As soon as Su Yan spoke, he quoted Gu Yanwu's words and expressed what he thought in his heart.
He Jiuyun nodded sympathetically and said, "That's true, but if the general intends to change all this, his subordinates suggest that you should postpone your actions." ”
"Why?" Su Yan asked.
"At present, the strength of our army is weak, and it only occupies a place in the government, and the abolition of the Bagu Wen has little effect, and it will offend the people of the world, the so-called fighting the world is easy to defend the world, if the general still wants to rely on the literati to assist you, it is better to wait for the strength to become strong before talking about the abolition."
"You have a point." Su Yan nodded in agreement.
In addition to agreeing, Su Yan was also a little dazed in his heart, at this time, Newton had not discovered the generalized binomial theorem, nor had he expounded gravitation and the three laws of motion, which could not be introduced by physics and science.
If you want to abolish the Baguwen and let the scholars learn other knowledge, it seems that only the more mature subject of mathematics remains?
