Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 514
"A bunch of bastards! I'm not dead yet!" Chongzhen was furious and threw the celadon tea bowl in his hand to pieces.

As soon as he entered the hall, Liu Hongjian was furious when he encountered Chongzhen, and the scattered celadon shards on the ground greeted him.

"Why is the emperor so angry? This is within your expectation. Don't get angry anymore, otherwise the minister will be powerless..." Liu Hongjian went to Chongzhen and helped him to sit down.

Under the full operation of the two supervisory agencies, the biggest drawback is that Chongzhen has become more irritable.

Whenever he heard a courtier discussing with others about the new emperor in private, Chongzhen would get angry. Although he knew that the courtiers had nothing to blame, he still couldn't help it.

"These officials are really hateful. They actually said...that I..."

"Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said to you during the Northern Expedition?" Liu Hongjian rarely interrupted Chongzhen's angry words. For this distraught old man, he only had late pity in his heart.

It's not the right time to wear it. Daming is thriving, but Chongzhen is very old. If he can, he would like to travel a few years earlier!

"Zen position..." Chongzhen suddenly calmed down, and waved his hand to let Xiao Huangmen, who was waiting beside him, clean up the debris all over the floor.

"I haven't forgotten!" Chongzhen said with a slightly heavy voice.

No. has been in power for 19 years, since he entered the palace at the age of 17 to inherit the great cause, and now it has been 19 years.

There are a few more 19 years in his life, and all his energy and enthusiasm in his life are all thrown into this land called Daming.

What can he do, what will he do?
Retiring bravely in the torrent is easy to say, but easier said than done?

How much courage and breadth of mind it takes!

"I came here this time mainly to report to you the progress of the Lower Engineering College and the Lecture Hall. After a lot of rush work, the two schools are now largely completed, and the interior decoration work of the school has begun.

The main problem now is the source of students for the two colleges. "

Liu Hongjian felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he stopped talking about the Zen position.

The source of students in the engineering college is good. From the very beginning, Liu Hongjian aimed at the children of ordinary families, especially the children of artisans.

The rich are ashamed of craftsmen, and the Work Academy did not consider it at the beginning of its creation.

To recruit enough disciples, the first problem is to improve the status of craftsmen, so that the common people understand that craftsmen are a great profession, not only enough to support their families, but also to be respected.

The first thing Liu Hongjian thought of was to completely lift the shackles that had oppressed craftsmen for 300 years—the craftsman household system.

The second is to promote the grading system of craftsmen in ordnance institutes, evaluate treatment and salaries according to skill levels, and at the same time cancel the privilege of gentry bureaucrats to drive craftsmen for free.

At the same time, craftsmen's families can also be assigned to the fields, canceling the rotation system of craftsmen and replacing them with the employment system.

The so-called rotation system refers to the various types of craftsmen who work in the workshops of the two Beijing Ministry of Industry in rotation. For the common people whose household registration is a craftsman household, there is a three-year round.

No matter whether you are in Sichuan or Qiongzhou, as long as it is your turn, you must set off from other places to the capital several months in advance to work for the imperial court.

The salaries paid by the workshops of the Ministry of Industry were extremely low, and the government servants in charge of overseeing the work often beat up the craftsmen and treated them like slaves. Many craftsmen were already poor, and many starved to death on the way back and forth.

And if the employment system is fully implemented, it will not only increase the income of the craftsmen, but also greatly increase the enthusiasm of the craftsmen.

What Chongzhen was worried about was that once the craftsman registration of the craftsmen was lifted, the problem of lack of craftsmen caused by the freedom of craftsmen to choose their jobs would be solved.

After all, many craftsmen have been passed down from generation to generation, and most of them have lost the means of survival except for the craftsmanship in their hands. In addition to the free system of engineering colleges and the grading system for craftsmen, the source of students for engineering colleges should not be a problem.

But when it came to the lecture hall, Liu Hongjian encountered difficulties.

It's not that the martial arts hall lacks students, on the contrary, the martial arts hall's student source indicators are very hot.

The first batch of students, Liu Hongjian, originally planned to choose from the garrisons in various places. There were more than [-] garrisons in the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing Army, and the garrisons in various places in the pass.

Among them, there are only [-] middle-level generals who can be trained, and more than [-] from a thousand households, and then guerrillas, generals, deputy generals, and generals...

Anyone who is illiterate, does not know the art of war, or firearms is the training object of the martial arts hall.

However, due to the fact that the martial arts lecture hall was newly built, various facilities, subjects, teaching instructions, etc. could not keep up, and the quota for the first batch of students was only [-].

Where and how to choose these two thousand students is a problem. This is okay to say. After all, as long as it is a matter of the army, it is enough to issue an order. At worst, the quotas will be allocated to various places and the local military chiefs will choose by themselves.

The biggest problem is the nobles, yes, you read that right, the group of nobles who lost their money and land.

Although these nobles seem to be useless, they have an extremely keen sense of smell. Since the martial arts hall was ordered by Chongzhen, and it took so much energy, then if your child enters this martial arts hall, he must definitely be a teacher after graduation. You can join the army, and at least the rank of officer.

What does this mean?It represents a new upward ladder for the nobles. The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was originally the base camp of the nobles. After being removed by Chongzhen, the nobles have completely become rich lords.

But they are far away from the imperial court, far from the emperor, and have no involvement or contribution to the empire. Who knows how long the imperial court can support them.

This is an opportunity. Once seized, the family may rise again. The ancestors made great achievements with swords and spears. The children in their own family are definitely no worse than those small officers in the military camp who can't even read big characters.

Liu Hongjian didn't want to be too harsh on this group of noble and wealthy children who had no strength to use. After all, many nobles this time really had at least half of their heart to serve the country.

In addition, most of the children in these honorable families are literate and have some knowledge of military tactics, which is a high-quality student source.

However, the number of students in the first phase is too small, and the most urgent need to train is the currently serving military officers. Liu Hongjian had to say:
Although the Martial Arts Hall is open to everyone in the Ming Dynasty, the scope of free is limited to the generals stationed in various places, and the rest are at their own expense!
The nobles were happy to hear this, and gave money. Our family has enough. Most of the nobles even abandoned their previous suspicions, carrying large and small gifts, and trampled down the threshold of the Anguo County Prince's Mansion.

After all, compared with the glory that the family has continued for generations, personal face is nothing.

There is only one purpose, to send their own children to the martial arts hall, let the children join the army, and board the warship of Ming Dynasty again.

"Why don't you... let's open [-]-[-]!" The bloody suppression of nobles last year, Chongzhen now feels a little bit unbearable.
