Chapter 428: Meet Kebineng

The next day, Cao Chong came to Kebineng's palace in the new city.

"Please inform the King of Zhenxi, Cao Chong is coming to visit!"

In front of the palace gate, Cao Chong said in a deep voice to a Xianbei guard.

The Xianbei guards that Kebi could arrange were all those who had studied the culture of the Central Plains, and when they heard this, they asked Cao Chong to stay here for a while.

"Cao Chong, the son of the King of Wei, is coming to see me? Let him in! ”

Kebi Neng didn't know why Cao Chong wanted to see him, but Kebi Neng knew what Hanzhong Vocational Training College was going to start building in Youzhou now.

"Could it be related to this Hanzhong Vocational Training College?"

When the palace guards went to invite him into the palace, Kebi could think of it in his heart.

"Cao Chong has seen the King of Zhenbei!"

"Your Highness, please use tea, you don't have to be polite to this king."

After Cao Chong and Kebineng greeted each other, Cao Chong began to ask Kebineng about the living conditions of the Hu people in the new city.

"The Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce has a branch in the city, so the life of the people in the city is much better than on the grassland."

Kebi could see that Cao Chong did not directly explain his intentions, so he told Cao Chong about the life of the Hu people in the new city.

When Cao Chong learned about the current living conditions of the Hu people from Kebineng's mouth, coupled with what he saw and heard after entering the city, he was more sure of how to persuade Kebineng to send someone to help build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College.

"King Zhenbei, I came to visit you this time, and what I want to tell you is about the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce."

At this time, Cao Chong finally told Kebi the purpose of his visit.

"Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce? Is His Highness planning to establish more Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce chapters in the new city?

If that were the case, the king would welcome it! ”

"I am not preparing to build a branch of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce in the new city, but I would like to ask you to provide a group of manpower for the Hanzhong Vocational Training College to be built in Youzhou."

"Your Highness needs manpower to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College?"

Only then did Kebineng determine that Cao Chong came to visit him, and what he said was the Hanzhong Vocational Training Institute that he had guessed before.

However, Kebi can know that Youzhou has a population of millions, and there is no shortage of manpower to build Hanzhong Vocational Training College.

Kebineng had heard some things about Cao Chong's construction of Hanzhong Vocational Training College in Yizhou before, could it be that the Hanzhong Vocational Training College in Youzhou was also opposed by the Youzhou scholars before its construction?

Kebineng, who didn't know much about Hanzhong Vocational Training College, didn't directly ask Cao Chong why Huren craftsmen were used when there were enough craftsmen in Youzhou.

"Your Highness, this king has heard a little about the Hanzhong Vocational Training College before, and this time I want to ask Your Highness, what does this Hanzhong Vocational Training College teach to the children of the people of Dawei?"

Kebineng planned to decide whether to help Cao Chong after learning about Hanzhong Vocational Training College.

"Hanzhong Vocational Training College is a college built to train more craftsmen and talents for the production base and various Hanzhong branches under the jurisdiction of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce.

The students recruited by the college are all children of the common people of the Great Wei Dynasty.

The curriculum taught consists of three subjects: Chinese, Mathematics and Science.

Finally, students who graduate from the college can work in the Hanzhong branch and production base. ”

Cao Chong briefly explained to Kebineng the Hanzhong Vocational Companion College.

"In this way, this Hanzhong Vocational Training College is a college for training craftsmen?"

"No, the students who graduated from Hanzhong Vocational Training College are equivalent to half of the scholars."

The students of Hanzhong Vocational Training College mainly studied Chinese and mathematics in the first two years, and the Chinese subjects are naturally taught all kinds of classics and ancient books, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the graduates of the college are half scholars.

"Half a reader?"

Kebineng, who has been studying the culture of the Central Plains, knows that it will take at least ten years to cultivate a true reader, under the current conditions.

Therefore, Kebi can be more curious about Cao Chong's mention of the graduates of Hanzhong Vocational Training College, which can be regarded as half a scholar.

"This king wants to know, how many years have this student of Hanzhong Vocational Training College studied in the college?"

"I studied at the academy for two years, and in the last year, I studied technology with a master in the production base."

"Do you only study for two years, this king understands."

From Cao Chong's description, Kebineng already has an overall understanding of Hanzhong Vocational Training College.

In the past two years of life in the new city, Kebi can find that the Hu people have not been able to live like the people of Youzhou, and one of the main reasons is that there is too little communication between the Hu people and the people of Youzhou.

The Hu people can't understand the Central Plains dialect, and the Youzhou people can't understand the Xianbei dialect.

This made it difficult for the Hu people to learn the farming techniques of the people of the Great Wei, and it was not easy to marry the people of Youzhou.

Due to language and cultural differences, there is still defensiveness and hostility between the Hu people and the people of Youzhou.

In Kebineng's view, the most urgent problem for the Hu people to integrate into the Great Wei Dynasty as soon as possible is the problem of language and writing.

"Your Highness, as far as this king knows, why do so many people in Youzhou need Hu people to build Hanzhong Vocational Training College?"

Kebineng, who already had a plan in his heart, began to ask Cao Chong.

"My teacher, the Marquis of Hanzhong, heard that most of the current Hu people are still grazing on the grassland for a living, and when I came to the city, I saw that most of them were old and weak, women and children.

The Marquis of Hanzhong felt that if the Xianbei people only became the Xianbei people living in the city after joining the Great Wei, then the gains and losses for the Xianbei people who joined the Great Wei would outweigh the losses.

This time, the king of Zhenbei was invited to send Xianbei craftsmen to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, which was to let the Xianbei people understand the lifestyle of the people of Youzhou.

And I can promise the king of Zhenbei, if you send people to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College, the Youzhou branch can provide a batch of farm tools and grain for the new city for free. ”

Cao Chong had fully informed Kebineng of his purpose, and Kebineng began to think about it after hearing this.

From Cao Chong's words, Ke Bi could hear that this was Lin Chuan helping the Xianbei Hu people and the people of Great Wei to integrate.

However, compared with the study of language and writing, the demand for agricultural tools and grain is not very urgent for the Xianbei people in Xincheng.

Otherwise, even if the language and writing are not understood, there will be Xianbei people who spontaneously want to learn to farm, and there are also farm tools and grain seeds for sale in the new city, and the price is the same as that purchased by the people of Youzhou.

However, the reality is that there are not many young people who buy farm tools and grain seeds to reclaim the land for farming.

Only the old and weak women and children who remain in the new city will buy some farm tools and grain seeds, and cultivate a little land around the new city to subsidize their families.

"Your Highness, this king thinks that this condition you put forward will not allow this king to persuade the Xianbei warriors to build the Hanzhong Vocational Training College for the Great Wei."

Kebineng said to Cao Chong in a deep voice.

"It seems that there is no way to impress Kebineng with farm tools and grain as a reward?"

When Cao Chong heard this, he thought of what Cheng Yu had said to himself before, Kebineng was deep in mind and needed more benefits to impress him.

"King Zhenbei, in addition to grain seeds and farm tools, how about the Youzhou branch providing a batch of cotton clothes and quilts for free for the new city?"

"The king doesn't want these supplies."

Kebineng was still dissatisfied and said to Cao Chong.
