Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 357 The Holy Will
Chapter 357 The Holy Will
Another way that Zhu Youjian thought of was to mobilize retired officials and wealthy businessmen to donate to support education and build schools in various places.
Especially in the Jiangnan area, which has been peaceful for a long time and is becoming more and more prosperous, most people are no longer troubled by the problem of food and clothing. The conditions for establishing schools, expanding private schools, and expanding the number of students are fully met.
Although Jiangnan has always been a place of prosperous literary style, the literacy rate of ordinary people is still not high.
With the prosperity of commerce and sea trade, a large number of handicraft workshops in the south of the Yangtze River have sprung up, but many technologies are facing bottlenecks, which greatly restrict the development of productivity.
It should be the only way to promote the development of the handicraft industry so that more skilled craftsmen can read and read, so as to learn more knowledge, in order to make breakthroughs and innovations at various technical levels.
Zhu Youjian intends to use the rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River as the main force in setting up schools, and the officials and gentry who have become officials at home as the former's supplement.
In fact, the big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have always had the habit of sponsoring scholars, but they focused on the hopeful students in the imperial examination.
Because this kind of early investment will bring them extremely rich profits in the future. Once the scholars they sponsor become officials in the pilot test, they will get special care and rewards in the business field. Under this mutually beneficial relationship, The Jiangnan interest group was formed step by step.
And Zhu Youjian's plan is to open a common people's school, not this kind of elite speculation. This kind of loss-making business may be difficult for businessmen to accept.
If you don't give these people some benefits, you want them to help the imperial court complete this kind of universal compulsory education, it is simply a dream.
Although Zhu Youjian can use the power of the factory guards to force them to submit by killing chickens and scaring monkeys, this method of destroying laws and rules is contrary to his original intention.
Let more people read and understand, learn to obey the law while using knowledge to change the world, and let this concept spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, that is the result that Zhu Youjian most wants to see.
And if you set a precedent for breaking the rules, it will be difficult to convince others in the future.
The reason why Zhu Youjian wanted Jiangnan merchants to participate in running the school was not because of their money, but because of the connections possessed by this group.
And judging from the flexible minds and thinking of merchants, entrusting the school to them should be better than the official one.
Zhu Youjian's results on this matter can be imagined: after the school is established, merchants will definitely pay attention to this matter.Once they find that there are good seedlings among these poor children, they will take measures to take care of them. On the contrary, they will try to cultivate such children into official seedlings.
As for other children with average aptitude, they will definitely let them go and stop asking, anyway, they just need to fool them.
Their self-righteous thinking is actually in the hands of Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian's purpose of running schools is only to improve the literacy rate of the whole people, not to train more officials.
The key now is how to induce them to set up more schools and use their contacts to provide more teachers. As for other issues, they are not important at all.
After much deliberation, Zhu Youjian decided to test the waters with the method of mingjue rewards. If the effect of this method is mediocre, then think of other methods.
It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Establishing education does not happen overnight. There is no need to be too hasty, and there is no use in haste.
The so-called titles are not real titles, but just some honorary titles. With such honorary titles, you can see officials without kneeling. It is similar to the qualifications of students, but the grade is higher than that of students.
The plan was not yet subject to unanimous opposition from courtiers, as there were precedents.
Hou Xun had put forward such a proposition when he had just traveled through time and the court was in dire financial straits, but with the rapid improvement of the situation, this proposal was shelved.
As time goes by, it has come to the solar term of Xiaoxue unconsciously, and the number of pedestrians on the road has gradually decreased due to the cold weather.
In the study room of the back house of a four-entry courtyard in the west city of the capital, Wen Tiren, who had just arrived on duty, took off the black gauze, official uniform and official boots. Under the service of the maidservant, he changed into a large blue Taoist robe and stepped on a pair of light and comfortable brocade After stepping on the shoes, I felt very relaxed all over.
"Go, let the second son come to the study!"
Wen Tiren ordered after sitting down on the chair.
"Yes, sir!"
The maidservant squatted down and left the study room, then closed the door lightly and walked towards the side yard.
After a while, Wen Kan, who was dressed in a blue straight gown and had his hair tied up with a tie, knocked on the door and pushed in.
"The child has seen his father, but what is the order of the father to call the child?"
After saluting Wen Tiren, Wen Kan asked respectfully.
"Zhenyu, the official office of Sinong Temple will start to operate in a few days. As one of the few chief officials of Sinong Temple, can you prepare well? What plans do you have after joining? Let's talk to my father!"
Wen Tiren looked at his second son, who was over thirty years old, with the same expression on his face as usual.
None of the three sons of the family are good at learning. The eldest son and the third son only have the honor of being a student. Only the second son was reluctantly elected a few years ago.
Wen Tiren originally wanted to find a county magistrate for his second son, but because of his feud with Wang Yongguang, the former official minister, he never got what he wanted. In desperation, he had to wait for the right time and position at home.
In the first half of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Wen Tiren finally seized the opportunity to overthrow Wang Yongguang in one fell swoop, thus avenging his previous revenge.
Not long afterward, with the acquiescence of Zhou Yun, then the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, Wen Tiren disregarded the opposition and dislike of the other cabinet elders, and brazenly placed his second son in the position of the seventh-rank Zhongshu Sheren in the cabinet, and praised him to the outside world. The name is: To promote the virtuous does not avoid relatives.
In Wen Tiren's plan, before he finally became an official, he would sacrifice his old face and beg the emperor once, and put the most promising son in the position of promoting official in Shuntian Mansion, and bring the other two sons back to Wucheng's hometown. It can be regarded as doing my best.
Unexpectedly, with the great change of the emperor's temperament in the past few years, he would treat him with more trust and kindness. He not only bestowed grace on his eldest son, but also pushed a Yuansheng from the sixth rank without warning. The official position was awarded to the second son.
The emperor's reward made Wen Tiren more loyal and at the same time had greater ambitions for the future of his descendants.
"My lord father, my son didn't have much knowledge of the ownership of Sinong Temple. After learning about the new position of reward, my son also hurriedly searched for relevant documents and materials for other use. I have gained a little in the past few days, so that's it. You won't show timidity in temple affairs."
Although Wen Kan is not outstanding in learning, but influenced by Wen Tiren since he was a child, he has a good way of being an official.
"As for how to carry out the temple affairs, I think it is better to follow the wishes of the two young ministers. I will talk less and do more, so as not to annoy the superior."
Wen Kan saw the relief on his father's face, and then told his preliminary plan.
"My son did not do badly! This is the way to be an official, especially a low-level official! As a father, I am afraid that you will rely on my power to bully others and overwhelm the superiors, so that you will have a bad reputation, and if it spreads in the palace, it will make the saint unhappy. , it will affect the name of the father. My son can understand this way, so there is no need to worry about being a father!"
Wen Tiren stroked his beard with his hands, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Father, please be at ease. Is this child a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat? The child thinks that although the Holy Majesty puts his father in the position of Da Si Nong, he actually wants to elevate the position of Si Nong Temple, but he is restrained by the eloquence of the officials. Come down. When Sinong Temple has achieved considerable achievements, the Holy One will definitely raise it to the same level as the six departments, and my child feels that Sinong Temple has a lot to do!"
