Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 105 Training Course

This time, the financial-type officials are further educated, covering Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou and Dalian Port. As for the farther Dongjiang Town and Liuqiu, they are not considered for the time being.The problem is that these places are all islands, so it would be more convenient to directly send officials trained in southern Liaoning.For the first month of training, Jinzhou is a financial management class, Fuzhou is a tax management class, Gaizhou is an administrative management class, and Dalian Port is an economic management class.In this way, these professional talents can be fully utilized.

There may be more than a dozen talents called by each technology, but as few as classical economics, including Adam Smith, there are only five people, and it is impossible to travel to different cities to teach students at the same time.Therefore, the content of the training is rotated every month, so that officials can effectively master the very important and advanced knowledge of finance, taxation, administration, and management.The content of the training was edited by Chu Yun. Of course, he did not want the officials in southern Liaoning to fully accept the Western ones. After all, the knowledge of the 17th and 18th centuries still had great flaws.

In Jinzhou's financial training class, 49 officials were "caught" by Chu Yun, and they had high hopes.

The property of the Department of Economics of the Academy of Sciences is a newly built house, located outside Jinzhou City.Every inch of land in Jinzhou City is expensive, and even Chu Yun won't be able to give the land in the city to the Academy of Sciences for a while!
For the first lecture, 49 officials came to the economics department in the outskirts of Jinzhou City in groups long after they got off work. They were afraid that they would be marked down for being late, and they would get a grade C in the assessment. Or Ding et al.'s performance would be a big deal.

"Old Guo, who did you say was training us?" an official asked another black-faced official.

"Most of them are from the West. Tell me, why are these Westerners so powerful? They know astronomy and geography, and they can also make textile looms and steam engines. No wonder the military leader trusts them so much." The official Lao Guo said.

"Who knew they were so powerful. But the military leader is so powerful. He can find so many Westerners to work for us. In the end, we, Da Ming, become stronger. Otherwise, how can we, Da Ming, resist those bad Westerners in the future?" another official heard. Seeing their conversation, he also interjected.

"We have been managing our finances with books for more than ten or twenty years. How could there be something better than our method to teach us?"

"You haven't seen the artillery and warships from the West, have you? I used to think that our Ming's Shenji Battalion was already powerful in the world, but when you see the large-caliber cannon, you know that we can no longer sit on the ground. .”

A group of people were talking, and they discussed topics such as Westerners and firearms.At first they were relatively new, but now there are thousands of Westerners living in southern Liaoning. People in southern Liaoning who can't tell where Flangji, Windmill Country, and Great Britain are, directly regard them as a group of people who are gradually integrating into Liaoning. Southern native peoples.

While these officials were having lively discussions, the door of the economics department opened, and several blond and blue-eyed bookkeepers came out.They couldn't help feeling amazed when they saw a group of high-ranking officials and gentlemen talking eagerly about military and cultural matters.They thought that Ming Dynasty was still very backward in this era, but in fact, the people of Ming Dynasty were not very conservative in their thinking, especially after Chu Yun baptized them with silver and cannons, these officials had a high degree of acceptance of new things .

"Everyone, we are bookkeepers from Windmill Country, known as 'Sea Coachman'. We are here to train you under the order of Commander Chu Yun. We mainly teach some methods of double-entry bookkeeping and budgeting. Maybe everyone I have done similar work before, but our system will greatly simplify your work and make the financial system more transparent and accurate.” The bookkeeper of Windmill Country brought in more than 40 officials.

At this time, it was getting dark after the officials got off work, and candles had already been lit in the big house, and the candlelight elongated and projected the figures of these officials onto the wall.

"Before we started teaching knowledge, Commander Chu Yun granted us the power to assess your grades. There will be a small test every seven days, and a major test at the end of the month. Each test will be checked by us and then handed over to Chief Chu Yun for review. So everyone, please don't be opportunistic. Don't even try to get close to us, Chief Chu Yun forbids us to communicate with you until we finish our advanced studies."

Hearing the teachers talk about Chu Yun's order, the officials all sat upright and listened carefully.And Chu Yun's arrangement is really amazing, carrots add sticks, and they also arrange layers of assessments, these officials dare not slack off in the slightest!So when the bookkeepers began to give lectures, these officials were eager to write, eager to immediately record the knowledge they had learned in their minds.However, it is not so easy for officials who have just learned Arabic numerals to quickly use the double-entry bookkeeping method of Arabic numerals.

Chu Yun secretly observed the study of the officials from the window, and found that the officials were very devoted to the performance appraisal.It's just that he feels a bit like the head teacher who used to observe students outside the classroom...

"Well, as expected, the incentive mechanism is still needed to guide people to act according to the rules." Chu Yun was very pleased, and stopped observing secretly at the window, and took Yu Cheng and others away.

The first training lasted for two hours, and it was difficult for the energetic officials to hold on. They still studied eagerly until the bookkeepers announced the dismissal of get out of class and then drove them away.

"Old Guo, I think this training is too difficult. I can't understand it at all. It seems that I will be at the bottom of this performance appraisal."

"I also feel that I am in a fog, and I don't understand it at all. I will ask you for advice when I have time."

"Finance is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the blue sky! This time the game is over, I'd better go back to sleep early."

The officials left the training hall, all mourning and complaining.

Guo Shouzhong, a civil servant in charge of finance in Jinzhou City, is also on the list this time.After class, his servant came to pick him up in a carriage.

Guo Shouzhong could still afford these servants and carriages.In the Fu Liao Army, the treatment of officials is very generous, and they don't need to be corrupt to afford the money.This is far better than the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, which seemed to be clean and stingy, but was actually rotten to the bone.

"My lord, I heard from you and your colleagues that this training is difficult, and you don't have to worry too much about falling behind. The old lady is already at home waiting for you to go back for supper." The servant chatted while driving the carriage.

"You know what, these old foxes all say that it's so rare to go to heaven, do you believe that they will all get the first grade when the assessment comes?" Guo Shouzhong slapped his thigh, "Later, you will go to the warehouse of our house. We took out our spare candles, and after I had supper with the old lady, I continued to light up the night battle!"
