Chapter 424: The Great Harmony of the World

Yang Shiqi was drunk.

He didn't drink much, and he didn't get so drunk with his drinking.

But he was drunk.

He even burst into tears in front of the enthusiastic locals.

Such a good place, such a good people, but this will not last long, it will be broken in the end, Yang Shiqi is very sure.

And now, how he wished he wasn't so smart, that he didn't know so much.

Then there is no sadness now.

"It seems that Mr. doesn't drink much, don't persuade Mr. to drink, Mr. eat two more mouthfuls of food, the resting room is ready, and the bedding is washed and useless."

The old man of the master's house spoke, and the rest of the people did not dare to mention drinking again.

Yang Shiqi cried and went back to the room.

This is the world in the book, the highest state of Confucianism, the great harmony of the world.

He finally saw it.

But he was afraid.

Because I am afraid that these polite people will finally usher in a tragic blow, and what a pain it is.

Yes.

It is okay for a family to plant a hundred acres of land, and Yang Shiqi no longer doubts it.

Not only can they plant a hundred acres of land, but they can also plant a hundred acres of land happily, and they no longer have to work with their lives as before.

But where in the world are there so many fields?

"Beiping wants to train the people to become landlords, but there are only more than 7,000 large landlords in the Ming Dynasty."

"What will happen to those who don't have a field?"

Yang Shiqi, who had not slept all night, had red and swollen eyes early the next morning, and people did not blame him, but worried about whether it was not well received.

Although he had only been in contact with him for a short time, the stranger was a learned man, and the people believed in it.

For the learned, the people are very respectful, even if it is a robber, many will be courteous.

"Sir, it's a coincidence, today is the planned day to go to the grain point to deliver food, is Mr. interested?"

Yang Shiqi nodded.

Although I don't know what the grain point is, as the name suggests, it should be the place where the government collects grain taxes.

"How much food do you have to pay?"

The young man smiled: "In addition to leaving rations and planting grain, they will all be handed over." ”

Yang Shiqi was taken aback.

"How can there be such a ridiculous tax?"

"No." The young man hurriedly shook his hand: "It's to go to the grain point to exchange for food stamps." ”

The young man explained carefully.

I see.

Yang Shiqi has seen grain stamps in Beiping, and many merchants like to collect food stamps, and even instructed Yang Shiqi to go to the grain stamp bank to exchange food stamps.

He knew that the grain stamps were treasure money, and unlike treasure money, the people were reluctant to use treasure money, while the people in Peking were willing to use treasure money.

The host is moving the grain to the truck.

Outside the courtyard gate was an ox cart and a horse-drawn cart, filled with dozens of sacks, which were filled with grain.

"I can't finish one trip, I have to make two trips back and forth."

Yang Shiqi took the initiative to help carry it, but the host couldn't stop it, and said to Yang Shiqi with a smile.

"Aren't you distressed that so much food has been sent out?"

"What's distressed?"

"With so much food at home, and you have to be moisture-proof and worry about rats and ants, it's better to change it to food stamps as soon as possible."

There is a grain point for every twenty wells.

at the point of rations.

There were a number of vehicles at the door, all of which were here to deliver food.

The staff of the grain point will conduct spot checks, insert hollow fine chisels into the sacks, bring out some grain inspections, and weigh them to confirm that there is no problem with the quality.

After weighing, the people who delivered the grain carried it to the granary and stacked it neatly according to the instructions of the staff.

Then the stamped list was stamped, and the farmer would draw a pledge, in triplicate.

After a month, farmers can go to the grain stamp bank to collect the grain stamps with the slip, or deposit them directly into the bank.

"Meow."

The civet cat at the food point, with a big mouse in its mouth, looked at the two-legged beast majestically, and raised its head proudly.

The raccoon cat, which was bred by the ancestors and only found in China, is the easiest to feed and does not disturb human habitation, and is also a good rat catcher.

He is not suitable to be a pet, but he is suitable to be a helper to people.

After Yang Shiqi helped to carry it, this stranger was introduced, and others knew that it was Mr. from Jiangxi.

Everyone was polite and saluted Yang Shiqi.

This gentleman had a university education, but he was still willing to work, and won the greatest respect from the people.

Yang Shiqi and the staff of the grain point asked.

"The grain point is not open all the time, and when we are busy here, we will go to work in the grain store."

"Isn't it true that the grain merchants have no way to live?"

"The grain merchant has changed his career."

"The little prince said that food is the foundation of the world, and it must be controlled by the government like energy."

"As long as the food is stable, then the industrial development can advance by leaps and bounds, and there is no need to worry about a collapse."

Yang Shiqi thought about these words and had more questions.

The staff of the grain point hurriedly explained with a red face: "These are the words we learned during the training, and I don't understand the deeper meaning." ”

"There is a lot of training in Beiping."

"Yes, the teachers need to be trained, the workers need to be trained, the businessmen must be trained, the same is true for the soldiers, and the officers must be trained.

……

There are so many wise people in the world.

Since receiving a secret letter from Ying Tianfu, but since the public opinion in the world has changed, not only businessmen have recruited many southern workers, but also many scholars to study in Beiping.

In ancient times, scholars did not die in their hometowns, and it was the tradition of the ancestors to study abroad.

Including many famous people in history, it can be seen that they had the experience of studying abroad when they were young.

The way of study tour is even more advocated in modern society.

Many schools organize outings for students.

Especially in developed countries, students will have a variety of group outings to increase their social knowledge.

In ancient China, study tours have been practiced for thousands of years.

The rise of social science in the Ming Dynasty was the appearance of civilization and prosperity, but unfortunately it disappeared in the Qing Dynasty, and it was not until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom slaughtered the southern Mancheng that the Han people in the south resumed the ancient tradition.

The local squires began to spontaneously resume social studies, and a large number of folk social studies provided countless scholars in the south and provided soil for progressive youth.

It was the blood of the progressive youth who had awakened this conquered and sleeping country.

Three hundred years of ignorance allowed future generations to repay their debts for a hundred years, and they are still paying their debts.

Zhu Gaochi actually prefers to trust the content of secret letters, but he has read too much history and has to be guarded against.

Just like that Mao Wenlong.

Until he died, he didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to kill him regardless of the rules.

You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.

Now that he has mastered the strategic initiative, he will not give up his advantages, but if this is really the case, then how to quickly develop Shanxi is the top priority at the moment.

Military construction has slowed down.

The benefits of the military industry are suspended, but the impetus for industrialization cannot disappear.

Since the military industry can no longer count on it, then count on education.

Minister of Education Zhang Fu came to the Shizi Mansion.

"There are 17 new-style schools in Northern Parallel Province, with a total of more than 36,000 primary and secondary school students."

"At present, the students of the year-round system have reached the first year of secondary school at the highest, and will be promoted to the second year of secondary school next year."

After listening to Zhang Fu's report, Zhu Gaochi said: "Last year, you proposed to expand investment in education, but because of military considerations, it was not approved by me. ”

"You've also read Ying Tianfu's secret letter, so I'm considering suspending military construction."

Zhang Fu was happy.

Fang Kuan and Chen Heng's faces were ugly.

The smile doesn't go away, it just shifts from one face to another.

However, on the whole, the civil and military officials present were very excited.

"Military development is certainly important, but economic development is also crucial, and judging from the current military strength, it is even more urgent to give priority to the development of economic construction."

"And economic construction needs a large number of talents, more new-style talents, and talents that meet the needs of society."

There are three talents in a row, and the people present have understood that the little prince values the school more than the government, state, and county.

"Of course, the prosperity of government schools, state schools, and county schools has provided many talents that can be cultivated for the development of industrialization."

"Without the foundation laid by these schools, we would have needed at least 20 years of development to produce enough teachers."

"Next, in Beiping, Daning, Kaiping, Jinzhou, and Shaanxi, we will have to Daxing schools to recruit more qualified teachers from the government school and the state school."

"The teacher rating system still needs to be strictly controlled, so that people who meet the standards of new schools can enter the school as teachers."

The most important thing in school is the teachers.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang laid a foundation, whether it was the folk literacy rate or the reading people, they had enough background.

This is the fundamental reason why Zhu Gaochi has developed the road of industrialization and can be used by many talents.

Otherwise, it would take 20 years just to train teachers.

Nowadays, many of the students only need to be trained, and many can become teachers in new schools, ensuring the rapid development of the teaching industry.

On the contrary, it is not a problem to build a school building, as long as the funds are sufficient, you can have as much as you want.

"There's a proposal from my subordinates." Zhang Fu said seriously.

"Tell me about it."

"In fact, it is not the idea of one person, the construction of new schools over the years, there are many good phenomena, but there are also many shortcomings."

"Many gentlemen think that the current new school is too heavy and not conducive to the progress of students."

"After much deliberation, it was decided that the specialized curriculum should be reduced, the social sciences curriculum should be strengthened, and a university should be established."

Zhang Fu's proposal, Zhu Gaochi became interested.

Universities are definitely going to do it.

But I didn't expect the people below to take the initiative to mention it.

"After three years of middle school, the graduating children are already fifteen years old, and in the name of social studies, they have entered the army, factories, schools, etc., passed the assessment of social studies, and finally become the focus on cultivating reserve talents."

"And a lot of what is taught in schools is not needed, but wastes children's time."

"Therefore, we should build a university and form a complete and high-quality, more detailed discipline, so that those children who show their talents in all aspects can enter the university."

"Ordinary children, on the other hand, strengthen the study of social sciences."

Zhu Gaochi hesitated.

In a nutshell.

Elementary and middle schools reduce the number of specialized courses and focus on outdoor classes to strengthen the cultivation of social skills, while universities cultivate gifted children.

There are two sides of things, there are good and bad things.

"This matter is about the foundation of education, and it needs to be carefully considered, and all the gentlemen of the school can be gathered to brainstorm the final educational concept plan."

Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to make decisions indiscriminately, and finally decided to let the sages discuss.

The original plan was to train each child as a college student.

The plan proposed now is to only treat truly gifted children, students who can bloom their talents independently under low-level professional courses, as college students.
