Due to historical and climatic reasons, the degree of development in Northeast China is polarized.

The land in western and southern Liaoning is fertile, and it is close to Gyeonggi, so it has developed well.

The large plains of Liaoyang and Shenyang in eastern Liaodong are also developing well.

However, further north it will not develop.

It's not about access to the sea, it's about the market.

Just as the Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province near the border of the Lee Dynasty had the worst development, and the feudal states such as the Wa Kingdom of Tajima and Tango on the southern side of the Whale Sea also developed very poorly.

Although the ancient economy and the modern economy have different forms, they both emphasize people's purchasing power.

If the purchasing power of the common people, and even the aristocracy, declined, the economy would not be able to get up.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Chengying personally sent troops to protect the Li Dynasty several times.

If you want to make money, you have to protect the market.

With cloth as the "anchor" of foreign trade, with the ice-free port of Arthur Port as the fulcrum, and with the powerful sailor as the sword, a huge transnational commercial radiation network can be formed.

Backed by this business network, Yang Chengying dared to conquer the east and the west, and constantly expand his jurisdiction.

Use commerce to stimulate industry, and then use industry to feed agriculture, forming a virtuous circle.

Yang Chengying and Fan Wencheng were discussing the details, and Wang Yong came.

"The princess, said the princess, it is getting late, so please rest early. Tomorrow I will also participate in the apprenticeship ceremony of the eldest prince. ”

Wang Yong said respectfully.

Yang Chengying and Fan Wencheng both laughed.

"De Bing is knowledgeable and upright, and he is indeed suitable to be the enlightenment teacher of the eldest son."

Fan Wencheng had contact with Huang Zongxi and gave him a thumbs up for his knowledge.

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "Mr. Fan said this, which means that I have found the right person." ”

From the time of the return of the Wa Kingdom, until August, there was no apprenticeship for such a long time.

It was because the princess had doubts about Huang Zongxi as Yang Zongxi's enlightenment mentor.

The princess originally wanted to invite someone from Beijing to invite the respected Hanlin Bachelor.

Huang Zongxi is just a person, and he is still so young, so he naturally can't get into the eyes of the princess.

Yang Chengying has his own reasons, it is precisely because Huang Zongxi is young and has good knowledge that he is suitable to be Yang Zongxi's enlightenment teacher.

Children are curious, and when their minds are most active, if they find some old antiques to teach, they will only cultivate small antiques.

Later, because of the fighting, it was delayed for a while, until a total truce.

The princess finally nodded in agreement.

On the tenth day of August, Yang Chengying took a group of children such as Yang Zongsi, Zheng Chenggong, and Shi Lang to the newly built school.

Most of the parents of these children are overseas, but some are in Daning City.

In short, stay away from home.

In this way, Yang Cheng should let them feel at ease.

"Worship the saint of Confucius, one kowtow, then kowtow, three kowtow!"

"Worship the ...... of the Master"

Kneeling and kowtowing to Huang Zongxi three times, the children slowly stood up.

Huang Zongxi said: "In the future, don't bow down to me again." He doesn't allow anyone to bow down to him, and I don't need to. ”

"Yes, Master."

Yang Zonghei was very young, and he followed his big brothers to echo him.

A pair of small eyes stared at the father who was standing aside, a little overwhelmed.

"Starting tomorrow, I will come to the hall every day, study by myself for half an hour, and then have breakfast. The lecture began and ended at noon.

During this period, I had four classes, lunch at noon and lunch at noon. I didn't start to take three classes at the second quarter of the first month.

At the second quarter of the first day of the unitary month, you are cleaning the classroom. And so on and on until you are in middle school. ”

After Huang Zongxi finished speaking, he asked the children if they remembered?

The children have long been blinded, some shake their heads, some nod, and they are cute.

Huang Zongxi smiled: "It doesn't matter if you can't remember, I will post a schedule at the door, you can read it yourself." Every six days of class, one day off. ”

It's still the same as just now, mostly ignorant.

Huang Zongxi said: "In terms of coursework, the enlightenment book is a thousand-character scripture, and then it goes deeper step by step. In addition, there are abacus, astronomy, geography and other classes, little by little. ”

"Yes, Master."

The children didn't understand it anyway, so they answered according to what their mother taught them when they went out.

Huang Zongxi smiled and nodded, "Okay, you study on your own for a while." ”

Yang Chengying was about to leave, but found that someone was grabbing the hem of his clothes.

He looked down and saw that it was his baby, so he squatted down and said to him: "Don't be afraid, there are big brothers here, they will take care of you." ”

After saying that, I touched his head.

The little guy let go.

Yang Chengying and Huang Zongxi walked out of the school.

Outside is the courtyard, which is planted with flowers and trees.

For the safety of the children, the larger stones were removed.

Yang Chengying strolled through it and said to Huang Zongxi: "My Liaodong Army is different from other places, women are also encouraged to study, and there is also a girls' school. ”

"I've heard of it, but I can't visit." Huang Zongxi said.

"Although the ideal is good, the reality is cruel. Because of the female textile mills, many female students go there after reading only a few books. ”

Yang Chengying said helplessly: "Over time, the scale of running the school is getting smaller and smaller. ”

"The people's homes are poor, and if the woman can make money, she will naturally send it to the textile factory."

Huang Zongxi said: "The rich and noble families dislike women for showing their heads, so they refuse to study. ”

"It's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would have been sent to a girls' school."

"I'm afraid this is also a palliative rather than a cure."

"So, I have a bold idea, which is to open another girls' school."

"You mean, let the women of the rich and noble families come out to study?"

"Not only that, but women who are willing to study can also come."

"Isn't this the same as an all-girls school?"

"It's not quite the same. I hope that there will be a female talent in the women's school to come and teach the course. The upward and downward effects make the girls' school come alive. ”

"I see."

Huang Zongxi finally understood, and the strategy was to ask him to introduce a female talent.

I am afraid that this women's school will use a government decree to allow women from the families of government officials to also come to the school to study.

The purpose is to play an exemplary and leading role, so that the rich family also sends women to study, and gradually sets off a fashion.

"Hmm...... Yes, Zhejiang Huiji has a family of poets and calligraphers, surnamed Shang. The head of the family, Zhou Zuo, once served as a secretary of the military department, but because he was upright, he repeatedly violated the holy will and returned to the country. ”

Huang Zongxi introduced: "Lord Shang has two daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter is named Shang Jinglan, and her husband is Qi Biaojia, the imperial history of Fujian Province. The youngest daughter, Shang Jinghui, is erudite and poetic, and her poems are in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"His family is so good, can I please move?" Yang Chengying was a little unconfident.

"It depends on the sincerity of the scripture."

Huang Zongxi said helplessly.

Yang Chengying nodded, "Understood." Come here, summon Zu Zepei and Xie Simei to Zhendong Hall, I have important things to hand over to them. ”

"Yes." Cao Bianjiao was ordered to leave.

"Mr. Huang, you also write a letter to see if they buy this account."

Yang Chengying turned his head to look at Huang Zongxi.

Huang Zongxi clenched his fists: "Obey." ”

Yang Chengying took the letter, bid farewell to Huang Zongxi, and waited for them in Zhendong Hall.

After a while, Zu Zepei and Xie Simei arrived.

"Here are fifty taels of gold, and a letter."

Yang Chengying handed them the baggage and letter containing the gold bars: "You take it and take a few people to the merchant to ask for it." ”

"What if she refuses to come?" Zu Zepei asked.

"Just please, if she refuses, you will come back." Yang Chengying said.

"Yes." Zu Zepei and Xie Simei clasped their fists and left.
