"Headmaster, what if we don't want to go?"

Sure enough, a student finally asked cautiously.

After being honored, whether he has fallen or not, he still looks down on the lowly professions of teachers in his heart.

"If you don't want to go, of course the academy won't force it. However, schools at all levels, like governments at all levels, also eat the money of the imperial court. Teaching and educating people is relatively simple, you don't have to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, and things are more relaxed. ”

Zhao Hong said as calmly as possible.

If a child from a poor family is a child of a poor family, he may gladly accept it, after all, it is a matter of livelihood. These powerful children have a lively heart, think a lot, and are much more complicated.

"Headmaster, if you want to be a teacher, how much will it be?"

Another student was unceremonious and asked directly.

Wei Liaoweng's eyes widened, and Zhao Hong immediately stopped him with his eyes.

Zhao Hong inexplicably remembered the famous saying "Don't ask about money, ask your mother" in later generations.

"Regarding compulsory education, I am discussing with the ministers, and I believe that it will be completed before the end of the year. The salary of teachers will certainly not be high, but it will not be low, and the grade should be above 15. In any case, as long as you don't drink money, it's enough for you to spend. ”

A teacher's salary is used to support the family, which should be around 15 to 20 yuan, which can take care of the expenses of a family of three.

As for wanting to make a fortune by relying on teachers' promotions, that's really too much.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard the number "15 times", many students looked disdainful on their faces, and some even laughed softly.

15 times, I'm afraid I can't even afford a middle-class banquet.

Seeing the disappointed expressions on the faces of the students, Wei Liaoweng couldn't help but smile coldly.

"Too little, huh? At the wharf in the west of Jinling City, those coolies who move goods, 30 days a month, rain or shine, only earn 5 yuan a month. Why, 15 is too little? Then you might as well go and grab it. But robbery is punishable by imprisonment and beheading. ”

These gentlemen don't look at how many catties and taels they have, and whether they have the ability to make money.

"Vice Principal Wei, don't stand and talk without backache. You have 600 hundred yuan of money from the imperial court every month, why don't you have too much? ”

Some students are young and vigorous, and they are scolded.

"Yes! Those court officials are a hundred dollars every month, and many of them are greedy for ink and do nothing. We only have 15 pieces, which is too little! ”

"Principal, I have more than 60 officials above the fourth grade, and their annual income alone amounts to 500,000 yuan, and nearly 300 ministers of the DPRK and the central government are nearly 1 million yuan a year. Now that the court is in ruins, why are they standing tall and not reducing their salaries, worrying about the monarch? ”

"Headmaster, Gu Song, as a general judge of Jiankang Mansion, has a monthly salary of 150 yuan from a five-grade official, why is he still greedy for ink, and the amount is so huge?"

There are also unruly students who can't help but complain, pointing out the high salaries and greed of officials.

Wei Liaoweng's face was red, and he was speechless for a while.

The Great Song Dynasty monarch and scholars ruled the world together, since Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, each emperor had a monthly "easy use", equivalent to a monthly salary. He, a soldier in the military department, also has a monthly salary of 700 to 800 yuan, which is a world of difference compared to the income of ordinary people of 5 yuan per month.

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, this is all about there.

The so-called high salary and incorruptibility of the Great Song Dynasty is just a joke. The higher the money, the more greedy. Otherwise, the rulers would not be so corrupt.

It seems that the martial style and anti-corruption propaganda in the newspapers have finally made the younger generation reflect.

The common people are 5 times a month, and the officials of the ninth to fourth grades are 50 to 100 times a month.

The number of second- and third-grade officials reaches 600 to 800 guan every month, and the number seems a little scary, after all, the number is too small and there is not much financial burden.

No wonder Ge Hong and Qiao Xingjian, the old guys, are not retired in their 70s, and they have an income of 10,000 yuan a year, and no one is willing to put it aside.

However, the officials' salaries have to be hung up with the assessment. Otherwise, the corpse vegetarian received so much money, and the heavens would not agree.

"Fellow students, the members of the imperial court, such as the ruling ministers, scholars, squires, etc., are in charge of the people's livelihood in the world, as long as they are loyal to the king's affairs, they are still acceptable, because the number is only one or twenty, and the court can bear it."

Zhao Hong finally spoke and relieved Wei Liaoweng.

"But the number of teachers needed in the Great Song Dynasty is hundreds of thousands. If everyone is only a hundred, it is already tens of millions, and the court can't afford it. Even if my Great Song Dynasty is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the monthly salary of 100 times. But if everyone works together, everyone's life will always get better and better. ”

Zhao Hong looked at the group of students and came to a conclusion.

"Whether it is smelting steel, teaching and educating people, or developing glass porcelain, or becoming an official, it is all for the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty and the strength of the people. Let's choose according to your own preferences. ”

He looked at the crowd, and a flame burned in his eyes again.

"Students, you are still young, and you are a new generation of young people in my Great Song Dynasty. The future strength of the Great Song Dynasty lies in you. That's it, do what you want. ”

The students are picky, there are few people who want to be teachers, and there are even fewer who smelt iron and make porcelain.

However, these people only represent the second generation of officials, not the mainstream. And even if these people are educated in the academy, there will definitely be some talents.

Starting next year, recruiting the children of ordinary people from the private sector and compulsorily joining the steel manufacturing and industrial manufacturing majors may fundamentally change everything.

The number of students enrolled next year may be even higher.

Coming out of the classroom, Wei Liaoweng suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, the students have been reborn, and the minister is looking forward to their performance in three years."

Wei Liaoweng didn't excuse himself, Zhao Hong was stunned and laughed softly.

"Duke Wei, I am the same. I am looking forward to the performance of the new students from the next year! ”

Starting next year, Jinling University Hall will be open to the entire Song Dynasty.

After the cultivation of Jinling University, the new generation of the Great Song Dynasty in the future makes him even more excited.

There can be more practice, and the school rules can be more stringent, so that the younger generation can be transformed.

"Headmaster, we have something to say!"

Out of the classroom, Yang Fansun and a few people followed, raised their heads and chests, saluted, and everyone was solemn.

"Yang Fansun, do you have something to say?"

Again, Zhao Hong was surprised by the solemnity and rules of Yang Fansun and others. More than half a year has passed, and these people have changed a lot, and they all have a military style in every move, which comforts him in his heart.

Ten years of cultivating people, as long as we persist in more than ten years of military management education, the entire folk customs of the Great Song Dynasty will be changed.

"Headmaster, it's not that we don't want to be teachers, it's mainly that we've seen firearms drills and heard the doctrine of steam engines, and we all want to build steam engines and firearms. Smelting steel is also possible, as long as it is related to the manufacture of firearms. ”

Yang Fansun straightened up and explained his ambition.

Zhao Hong nodded. It's a pity that I'm not a big intellectual, otherwise I can impart more knowledge to these students.

"President, in the hall of Jinling University, many people are down-and-out children, and they all want to find connections to become officials as soon as possible and glorify their ancestors. Therefore, being a teacher, including going to the big smelting steel, I'm afraid not many people are interested. ”

Zhang Wei's next words made Zhao Hong shake his head involuntarily.

Glory to the ancestors?

Zhao Hong was a little disappointed. Is it that the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is really too involved, so that these young people, who are only 20 years old, are already thinking about becoming officials.

Could it be that if you go to be a technician and eat by your own ability, they can't look down on it?

"I'm afraid it's very difficult to glorify the ancestors by being an official, and don't even think about taking a shortcut to pull the relationship, the court will strictly investigate. Graduation is to start as a clerk, if the performance is mediocre, there is not much room for improvement. Tell them not to think about glorifying their ancestors, but to study hard and do things well. ”

Wei Liaoweng picked up the words and said seriously.

It seems that in Jinling University, the idea of being an official is still the mainstream. They don't know that under the rule of the new emperor, the talents they like who understand practice and do practical things are not officials who just want to be promoted and make a fortune.

Moreover, the imperial court vigorously fought corruption and advocated clean government, and if it wanted to do it, the consequences were unpredictable.

"Headmaster, we don't know where we're going in the future. Does the principal have any recommendations? ”

Yang Fansun asked expectantly.

"I don't even know what I like to do, how can I recommend it?"

Zhao Hong hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"Starting next spring, you will go to Daye and Jiangnan Ordnance Manufacturing Division for internships, and also go to the government and township level for training. Maybe you'll know what you're going to do after you've been through it. ”

Even if many of them have the idea of "honoring their ancestors", it is not an exaggeration, and it is not a big deal. At least after a study experience in Jinling University, they have changed too much.

This is a progress of the times.
