Chapter 302: Running a school
Xiahou Qingyi just glanced at Gongsun Yue calmly and didn't say much.
Gongsun Yue didn't speak again.
She knew that Xiahou Qingyi had been in contact with the Sword Clan, and now that she was so close to Liang Xiao, she naturally knew who had a bigger pattern.
It's just that Liang Xiao is still too young, and it is difficult to get the trust and support of the Sword Clan.
If the Sword Clan doesn't support him, at least Da Zhou doesn't have the ability to deal with this place in Bashu.
The Sword Clan is a group that thinks of the common people, but there are also careerists among them, such as the Gongsun family, who rules Bashu outside.
Moreover, Xiahou Qingyi's mentor also belongs to the Sword Clan.
The "clansman" of the Sword Clan, so she also asked her to match Liang Xiao and Xiahou Qingyi to bind the interests of both parties......
What do you think of him? 】
I don't know how long it took for Xiahou Qingyi to slowly write a few words.
After reading it, Gongsun Yue lost her mind for a moment and said, "It's a hero...... Right? ”
Hero?
Xiahou Qingyi's eyes were a little more surprised.
The Gongsun Yue in front of her was completely different from the first beauty in Bashu that she had heard.
But there is one thing she is already relieved of, Gongsun Yue will at least not murder Liang Xiao.
Looking at Gongsun Yue, whose eyes gradually became resentful, Xiahou Qingyi knew in his heart and burned what he had written.
Gongsun Yue said goodbye with interest.
At this time, Liang Xiao was in his room, drinking Yueming wine and looking at the information on the table.
It records the customs and customs of Yanzhou, as well as the construction of the city wall.
It is clearly recorded which company was responsible for the construction of the city wall at the beginning.
All the construction of those big families is based on the premise of being unreliable, and it is best to be strictly and thoroughly investigated.
Yanzhou does not have a moat, but in the north there is the Yellow River and its tributaries, which can be used to protect against the Beihu people.
Once the Beihu people crossed the river or came around the river, Yanzhou would have to face the Beihu cavalry, which was extremely dangerous.
If it is blindly fortified and cleared, and the city is defended, it will also have a certain adverse impact on Yanzhou, first of all, it is equivalent to giving up the northern grassland, and the war horses of the Beihu people will have sufficient fresh forage.
Gu Pingxiu, who was guarding the side, said with a smile: "Master Hou, as soon as Duguchen disappeared, the Yanzhou academic circle was not in turmoil, but became more and more upright day by day. Or does Hou Ye have a vision, this person must be eliminated quickly! ”
Liang Xiao just smiled and nodded, satisfied in his heart.
He designed to kill Duguchen, causing himself a temporary trouble, but also uprooting a henchman in the future.
This Duguchen was overconfident, thinking that he could get out of the way no matter how bad he was, but he didn't expect him to act more decisively and resolutely eradicate hidden dangers.
"We received news that Duanmu Yunqing and Nangong Ning had come to Yanzhou a few days ago, and recently ...... Duanmu Yan also disappeared. Gu Pingxiu said.
"Really? It's a bit of a pity. ”
Gu Pingxiu couldn't help grinning when he heard Liang Xiao's response like a muttering to himself.
This Hou Ye is more black-bellied than he imagined, and he has no kindness for a woman.
What kind of experience has developed his cautious and decisive style?
"Captain Gu, let's go upstairs and have a look."
Hearing Liang Xiao's call, Gu Pingxiu readily agreed.
There is its own watchtower in the Taishou Mansion, with a height of more than 25 zhang.
After Liang Xiao took the Xuanwei upstairs, he looked around and had a panoramic view of the surrounding scene.
In the streets and alleys, people live and work in peace and contentment, and people come and go.
In contrast, when he first came to Yanzhou, disputes were everywhere, and there were bullies making trouble on the street that day.
Gu Pingxiu praised: "Master Hou is not only a talent in one state. ”
"Yanzhou is only a county, and Da Zhou also needs more talents who can benefit the country and the people, which is why I choose these poor students in an eclectic manner. Compared to those big families, they can at least work for the benefit of the people. Liang Xiao said.
"I'll see!" The Xuanwei spoke in unison.
The poor families of the Great Zhou Dynasty were not ordinary people, there were nobles who fell into the middle of the road, and there were also descendants of officials who lost power and were dismissed.
The reason why some students from poor families are called cold is just that no one in the family is an official in the court.
"What else is there to lose in Yanzhou?" Liang Xiao sighed.
"What's missing?" The Xuanwei were puzzled.
"There are too few schools, not even private schools, and there can't be only a academy here!" Liang Xiao cut the railway.
Everyone suddenly realized and praised from the bottom of their hearts: "Master Hou can see far!" ”
In the afternoon of the same day, the Taishou Mansion issued an official document and decided to recruit 100 gentlemen to teach children to read and write.
"Taishoufu decided to open ten schools in major urban areas? Children over the age of 6 and under 16 can attend school for free and attend classes at the school every day. ”
"Funder...... It was the Marquis of Lanling who donated to the government in his personal name! ”
When the news spread, the whole county of Yanzhou was inevitably shaken.
In the past, ordinary people had to pay expensive tuition fees and buy books if they wanted to go to school.
Ordinary people only know some words roughly, enough for daily use, and it is common for them to be illiterate.
Now that Liang Xiao has opened a school, students can enroll, concentrate on studying in school, and do whatever they want for their family after returning home, with a higher degree of freedom.
In the Taishou Mansion, after all the officials learned about the situation, they all expressed concern.
Qin Baili first reminded: "Marquis of Lanling, the maximum number of schoolchildren in Yanzhou can reach 40,000, if you recruit them to the maximum extent, a set of textbooks per person, plus the area occupied by the school, Mr.'s salary and meal money, I am afraid that you will have to spend at least 40,000 taels at one time, and you will have to spend 500 taels every month in the future!" ”
Qin Xun also nodded and said: "Yanzhou County alone needs such an expenditure, even if it is the imperial court, I am afraid that it will not be able to afford such a large consumption at present, why should the Marquis of Lanling break the bank!" This kind of thing is thankless, and the Marquis of Lanling should know the truth of Shengmi's fight against Mi. ”
Everyone, every word you and I say is a reminder for Liang Xiao to think twice.
After Liang Xiao signaled everyone to be quiet, he said earnestly: "Do you know why some people hate the rich and why some people are unkind to the rich? ”
The crowd looked puzzled.
Liang Xiao then gave his own explanation.
"Because some rich people have mastered too many resources and obtained too much wealth, they are already rich enough, but they still want to squeeze the last drop of blood and sweat of the people at the bottom, which is nothing more than insatiable greed."
"I have different considerations from you, and now the industry under my name is booming, and I can make a profit of at least one million taels of silver every month. If I am reluctant to pay out even 40,000 taels of silver, how can I attract more rich people to support this matter? In the same way, respecting the teacher's teachings to make things convenient for oneself and others for the sake of the long-term and for the benefit of the people, is beneficial to my inheritance, and even to my future generations. ”
The crowd was thoughtful.
Liang Xiao earns all the money of the rich people in Da Zhou, and it is conceivable how rich these rich people in Da Zhou are.
Liang Xiao didn't talk to them too deeply, even if he didn't consider giving back to the society, he had other considerations.
The advent of newspapers has improved the efficiency of information dissemination, and some of the benefits are implicit.
For example, people's hearts and fame are beneficial to the stability and development of his industry.
But Liang Xiao's approach is different in the eyes of these people.
