golden scales

The chief minister's department is similar to the provincial government of later generations. Below the top chief minister, there are also political and counselors who are in charge of various special affairs, and some of them are not even stationed in the government.The problem Wu Yi is facing now is very similar to that of the crown prince. It also lacks enough administrative staff to run affairs for him.

What disturbed him in particular was that none of the officials in Zhejiang province were clean if they were to check them carefully.Even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate refuses to handle such a big case, how can I have the ability to solve it?

"Based on my experience in governing places, this is nothing." Liao Xing heard Wu Yi's distress, and said carelessly: "Actually, His Highness has already set an example for you, you just need to learn from it."

"Oh? Please tell Long Zhi clearly."

"Your Highness came to Nanjing and cleared the Yingtian Mansion first." Liao Xing said: "You can start from the Hangzhou Mansion, train your own team first, and then liquidate each mansion next to each other. From my experience, at most two mansions will be settled later." , other prefectures and counties should be sensible."

"This... won't be impeached?" Wu Yi whispered.

"So you have to act fast, and the charges must be clear, so that people believe that you are out of public interest, so what are you afraid of impeachment?" Liao Xing said.

"But His Royal Highness is not the most taboo of forming a party for personal gain..."

"You have misunderstood this 'team'." Liao Xing said happily, with a taste of being a teacher: "The so-called 'team' is not your personal. It is the officials who agree with you. These officials either disdain corruption, or don't If you dare to embezzle, it is enough to help you squeeze out those corrupt officials. If there are honest officials in the prefecture and county, of course they are also your team, as long as you promote them."

"Nowadays there are no officials who are not corrupt, where can I find honest officials?"

"So you have to teach the students yourself." Liao Xing said: "These students don't understand anything, and they will work hard for you if they are frightened, especially if they don't know all kinds of tricks in the officialdom. Seeing the fate of corrupt officials, I naturally don’t dare to be corrupt.”

"Those who don't want to be greedy..."

"Young Shi family's children, what they are looking for is local influence. To do a bigger business, you will not use those few public funds shallowly." Liao Xing thought of Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye, and felt empty for no reason.But thinking that I am working hard towards the Shijia, I will become the ancestor of the Shijia's children in the future.I feel much better again.

"If you teach students yourself, how do you teach?" Wu Yi asked.

Liao Xing had an idea, and said with a smile: "Of course, the fastest way is to ask Mr. to teach his nephews. As long as they pass the cultural examination, they can naturally be placed in various positions as officials or even officials."

Wu Yi was also quite tempted, and said, "Where is the gentleman?"

"I have sir, but I don't have any connections." Liao Xing said, "If you and I jointly run a college, you provide the place and I supply the people, and the expenses will be shared."

Wu Yi hesitated.It's not that he can't afford a few hundred taels of silver, the key is that these people are trained to fill the positions of officials at all levels in Zhejiang.If they are all their students.Will it cause taboo?Although I am from the south and have Shi Kefa as an endorsement, those scholars who write essays will not worry so much when they scold.

"Couldn't Fang Bo be worried that he won't be able to get his money back?" Liao Xing said with a smile: "The first administrative crash course is only three months. If the students have a good foundation, they can come out in a month or two. When these people arrive at the place, naturally It’s Fang Bo’s team. Their methods of administration and office are all taught by Fang Bo, isn’t it handy? Aren’t the political achievements that come from this all belong to Fang Bo?”

Wu Yi knew what Liao Xing said was right, but he still shook his head and said, "The School of Administration is too prestigious, and we should distinguish between public and private. In this way, the province will allocate land and money to the school office for the construction of Zhejiang School of Administration. .In addition, we will jointly open a school. We will charge as many students as we come out.”

"What school?" Liao Xing asked while laughing secretly at Wu Yi's timidity.

"Zhejiang Ocean School." Wu Yi said: "From the Qiantang River to the East China Sea, the terrain is convenient. Since His Royal Highness has opened the Maritime Department, he must open up maritime trade. Our two families have shallow foundations, and we can only train reliable sailors, firefighters, etc. It's long, so I can get a share of it in the future."

Liao Xing was someone who had been staring at the vast sea for a long time.This time, there is no way to share it with the shipping company, so naturally they will not let go to sea to make a profit.With Tian Cunshan supplying the goods and Zhejiang Fang Bo arranging the joints, if you have your own fleet, it will be a huge profit.

"I think this ocean school can also ask His Highness the Crown Prince to endorse it." Liao Xing said.

"Oh?"

"The sailors trained can usually go on merchant ships. If there is something wrong with the country, they can also go on gunboats." Liao Xing said: "So the rules must be based on the rules of warships, and let the Naval University send instructors."

Wu Yi couldn't help leaning back slightly: This man is really bold and fearless!

Liao Xing's statement is actually in line with Zhu Cihong's original intention.Accumulating reserves in layers and levels is what Zhu Cihong has long wanted to do.But now there are really not many professionals in Ming Dynasty, and many professions are passed down from father to son. To make education widely available is not only a question of money, but also needs the cooperation of many aspects.

Seeing Liao Xing's proposal about Ocean Academy, Zhu Cihong was of course willing to participate, and at the same time, he also decided on the share capital division: the royal family accounted for 40.00% of the non-dilutable equity in Ocean Academy, and the other shares were equally divided between Wu Yi and Liao Xing. At the same time, he also suggested that Liao Xing find Shen Tingyang helped, after all, he is the leader of the Shachuan Gang.

"Your Highness, now that officials at all levels know the benefits of running schools, won't this be a source of party disputes in the future?" Lu Suyao still resists private schools.

Zhu Cihong said: "If there are too many lice, don't bite, and the more parties there are, the less you can fight. You see, in the Spring and Autumn Period, every country had fewer people, and Guan Zhong could sweep the world with 3 people. In the Warring States Period, the Seven Heroes fought in a melee. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured at every turn. In the past, there were too few rich and powerful families, so they dared to compete with the Tian family. Now I have completely opened the door to become an official, and the emerging powerful families are like mushrooms after rain, in other words, they are scattered. "

"But if so many benefits are returned to the country..."

"You have also seen the map of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms. Daming is only a corner of this planet, and there are more vast lands to be contested outside. If it is only my Zhu family, how much can it occupy?" Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "Let them all get up , There is not enough meat in the country, so naturally we have to go out. But now it seems that diplomas have depreciated a bit."

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, with a second-class diploma, he was able to find a job as a clerk in the county government.If you are willing to take up a teaching position in the township, the salary will increase even more.In the 19th year of Chongzhen, a large number of students participated in the standard cultural examination, and they could basically obtain a first-class diploma, so that it was very difficult to find a job in the county government with only a first-class diploma. They had to take professional qualifications such as accounting certificates and judicial certificates. .

Now that the wind of education reform is blowing to the south of the Yangtze River, even "scholars" who don't even have the qualifications of students can successfully pass the first-class cultural examination.In some places, there are even cases of teenage children obtaining first-class diplomas, which undoubtedly leads to the reduction of the existence of standard cultural examinations.

If the two major imperial examination provinces of Jiangxi and Fujian also switch to the standard cultural examination, then this first-class diploma may be even more ridiculous.

The establishment of a better education system and diploma levels suddenly became a matter of necessity.

Fortunately, there have been schools in China since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the school system at all levels in the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Zhu Cihong compared the national school levels and set three levels: university, rural school, and elementary school.Mengxue is compulsory education in every village, fang, and county. It lasts for four years and those who have obtained a first-class diploma in the standard cultural examination can enter the rural school.Township schools are located in prefectures and upper counties. After accumulating credits, you can apply for universities in various provinces.

Universities are also based on the credit system. After being recommended by the tutor and reviewed by the professor, those who pass are awarded a bachelor's degree.Those who are engaged in education and have made great achievements will be awarded the title of master; those who have outstanding cultural and educational achievements will be awarded the title of doctor.

The reason why Zhu Cihong adopted the credit system is because the current level of students is too disparate.Some students have to learn the pinyin dictionary when they enter school, while some students are enlightened by teachers at home when they are three or five years old.Therefore, except for the school system stipulated by Mengxue to prevent people from wasting educational resources by staying in the school, the other two levels of schools can graduate when the credits are full.

When it comes to rural schools, the state only bears the tuition fees of the top students, which is called a scholarship.Other students will have to pay a bundle repair before they can enter school.

……

"Master Huang, this is the education system reform document handed down by the cabinet, and we need our department to publish it everywhere as soon as possible." number, and who issued and delivered to what department.

Huang Ruixue didn't raise her head, she continued to write vigorously: "Let's put it down."

The clerk didn't dare to disturb, put the document in a red lacquered wooden box, closed the door and left.

In April of the 20th year of Chongzhen, Beijing has gradually warmed up.After Grain Rain, there is emerald green everywhere.The crown prince seems to like green very much. Not only did he ask all the prefectures and counties to plant trees, but even the streets should be planted with trees to divide the roads and sidewalks.

Huang Ruixue, who had been concentrating on her work for a long time, felt a slight itching on the tip of her nose.It turned out that a drop of crystal clear sweat gradually gathered on her pink nose, which was crumbling.She finally finished writing the last word, raised her head abruptly, took the square scarf at hand, and wiped off the slight sweat on her nose, upper lip and forehead.

Huang Ruixue rang the bell twice, and the clerk sitting outside hurried in, waiting for orders.

"Open the windows, it's getting hot." Huang Ruixue said while putting away the official documents on the table.

The clerk hurried over to push open the newly equipped window with shining glass, put the pins on it, and suddenly a gust of fresh air rushed into the office, refreshing the heart.

"This is... a private letter from the Governor's Mansion?" Huang Ruixue, who was sober in body and mind, found a strange letter lying in the wooden box.
