Ideals are fragile in the face of realistic interests.

Today, there are millions of craftsmen in the middle of the Lingjiang River, but only a few of these craftsmen are willing to follow their own old path.

Even those craftsmen who are willing to let their children inherit the mantle stubbornly believe that what they teach will be hundreds of times better than that of the academy.

Even if there are one or two artisan children who want to go to school, they will be persuaded by their families to come back.

"Kid stupid, how can the academy teach the real thing. ”

Almost every child who was brought back by his family had heard such advice, which was also the reason why the admissions office of the Craftsman College on the Golden Avenue withered.

Obviously, the master craftsmen of the Ou family and the masterpieces of all walks of life are ready to teach the things at the bottom of the box, but there are very few test takers, I have to say.

Compared with martial arts, the attraction of the techniques of the Five Elements and Eight Elements is too limited, and this pressure eventually returns to the city hall.

As far as Wushuang City is concerned, although the enrollment rate of the Craftsman Academy is far from meeting the requirements, the maintenance cost will not be less at all.

In this case, it is obvious that the best solution has been to merge some students with scarce students into the outer courtyard and expand the enrollment of the three subjects.

Even though Mi Bai has his own insistence, in the face of the bloody facts and the pressure of the whole city hall, he must also submit this opinion upward.

And on this, it is the new king of Chixia Mountain, the dean of Wushuang Academy.

"So, that's the collective opinion of the town hall?"

Tang Luo put aside the recommendation from the city hall and asked Bei Bai, who had a normal face, "Do you think so too?"

The weak should be abandoned and cut off, this is the thinking of businessmen and the perspective of politicians, but it is never the choice of the benevolent.

But Mi Bai, who has traveled so many cities, has already understood that there will be no dustless benevolence and righteousness in the world, and the reason why people are human beings is because human power can only do limited things, as long as this limitation is done with a clear conscience, it is enough.

So he raised his head and replied seriously: "One person is short and everyone is long, this is the result of the joint discussion of the city hall, judging from the current situation, it is a better strategy for Wushuang City to change a few craftsman academies into outer courtyards." ”

"Halfway through August, the admissions office of the Craftsman College on the Golden Avenue has reported the enrollment situation, and the city hall feels that the three major colleges of agriculture, shipbuilding, and clothing can be disbanded and changed to the Wushuang Outer Courtyard, which accepts junior, intermediate and senior students respectively. ”

Since he has assumed the responsibility of the Speaker, he should not throw the blame, and since everyone thinks that this resolution is for the benefit of Wushuang City, then no matter what he thinks as the Speaker, he should accurately express everyone's opinions.

The difference between benevolent and politicians is that when they take care of the interests of the majority, they do not forget the small number of people.

But Mi Bai thinks that the three colleges can not be disbanded, as long as the teachers and classmates of the three colleges are merged into the engineering department, and see if the enrollment situation improves next year, and then make a decision. ”

Weakness should never be a reason for annihilation, but Mi Bai can't figure out why there are only so few students signing up for agriculture, an industry closely related to life, and even facing the danger of being repossessed.

In fact, even if Mi Bai pleads with the dean again at this time, there is still no bottom on whether the enrollment situation will improve next year.

"The ship department is because the water level of the Lingjiang River is attached to the surplus of sailors, this clothing department, whether it is the dyeing workshop or the cloth workshop, thinks that their own craft is the most expensive and disdains to learn, but what is the matter with this agricultural department not recruiting people?"

After listening to Mi Bai's words, Tang Luo did not directly say agree or disagree, but carefully looked at the recommendation about the city hall, and after reading it, he asked Mi Bai directly: "By the end of this year at the latest, the silt covering the Lingjiang Plain will be cleaned up, and the beginning of spring next year is the best time to sow seeds.

The so-called rarity is expensive, but this rarity also depends on what kind of rarity method.

Dung diggers have never been rare, and I haven't seen anyone take this as their career goal, in fact, all the craftsmen who can come to Wushuang City are craftsmen with small assets, and where will they let their children become farmers again.

Mi Bai was naturally clear, and said to the point: "The peasants and workers are lowly, and the family has some accumulation, and they all want to send their children to the college." Even those masters who came to Wushuang City and fell behind hope that their children can enter the academy and have a good birth. Come and go, and agricultural workers are naturally scarce. ”

"In that case, it's fine. ”

Tang Luo nodded, put down the recommendation and said: "In the name of Madame, let the city hall draw up a notice, so that the lord's servants can enter the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in batches to learn how to open up the wasteland and sow seeds, shorten the course or teach while doing, and be sure to make up for the gap of farmers when sowing in the next year at the end of the year." ”

Such an edict in any city in Xihe would cause a mutiny or even an escape, although Wushuang City was thriving at this time, but such an edict was enough to make the people in the inner city resentful.

So Mi Bai hurriedly persuaded: "The dean can't, this banquet clears the river and the city, and the people in the inner city have already done their best, if they are forced to recruit farmers, I am afraid that they will lose people's hearts!"

"Do you work and farm for the master's family during the New Year?"

Tang Luo smiled and said with relief: "This announcement is not a forcible levy, but an order, and the target is only for the lord's servants. In addition, let the health center cooperate with the city hall to patrol and supervise the border to protect the safety of farmers and farmland. ”

"So what the dean means is that the Academy of Agricultural Sciences doesn't need to be disbanded, right?"

Gradually, he understood and heard the importance of agriculture in Tang Luo's words, and hurriedly asked.

"Not only the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but also the Academy of Naval Sciences and the Academy of Clothing Sciences. ”

Tang Luo said lightly: "Now that the water level of the Lingjiang River has returned, the materials for rebuilding the city cannot be obtained out of thin air, this Lingjiang River will soon become a hub connecting the cities, and the role of the academy is not only to teach, but also to be able to apply what you have learned." What does it matter if you can't receive students, you can let the Craftsman College conduct independent research, we need to have better and faster cargo ships and passenger ships, and the research funds are allocated directly from the town hall.

Not only the Academy of Naval Sciences, but also the rest of the Craftsman's Academy had to produce results for the Peerless City, and the funds were all funded from the City Hall. ”

"My lord, the maintenance cost of the Craftsman Academy is already quite high, and if we increase the funding, I'm afraid the city hall will not be able to do it. ”

Bei Bai said honestly.

"When a craftsman becomes a teacher, won't he make money?"

Tang Luo smiled and said: "The purpose of the Craftsman Academy is to cultivate elite craftsmen, not to raise craftsmen. Isn't there a very lucrative job right now?"

Saying that, Tang Luo took out a copy of the tall document on the table and pushed it to Mi Bai and said: "Yulin Zhai, Wuji Mansion, and Qiyao Temple are very satisfied with the results of this Xiling enrollment, and have decided to reside in Xiling, and want to ask the Craftsman Academy to redesign the admissions office, this matter will be discussed by the academy craftsmen with several grandmasters, there is no need to think about saving costs or currying favor with the sect, their wealth is far beyond the limit of your imagination, take advantage of the opportunity!"
