Through historical reference, Meng Jiucheng saw clearly one of the keys to the success of the reform, that is, there is no need to rush to seek governance or pursue perfection. As long as most people of all levels of society and people of all identities can obtain practical benefits, they can win the widest support.

In other words, the root of pain cannot be eliminated, but it can only be concentrated on as few people as possible.

To put it bluntly, striving for the majority and isolating the minority is Meng Jiucheng's simplest method.

He must receive the results of reform before power loses control in order to gain the support of reformers to strengthen and continue his career.

Therefore, if there are oppositions and criticisms, they cannot cause great storms. How can a few flys yell, stop Meng Jiucheng from moving forward while reforming?

That's right, in the blood bath of fighting and in the smoke everywhere, a great empire is nurturing, growing, growing, and struggling hard in the chaotic earth. No one can suppress this increasingly powerful force.

It kicked the hard wall of time and space hard in the darkness, stone chips rustled down, the ground began to crack, the forest began to tremble, and the sea water began to boil?????

Hum? Well! It’s just Meng Jiucheng’s fantasy now. Only the old genius knows whether it is a dream come true or a failure or a destruction.

After staying in Haizhou for several days, Meng Jiucheng and Yang Miaozhen began to return home. The so-called home is the mansion located in Mizhou.

The territory is changing. As the highest decision-maker, Meng Jiucheng must take care of all aspects wherever he lives.

It is closer to the defense line in the north, making it more convenient to command and dispatch; it is closer to Qingdao Shanggang, with the increase of merchants, the adjustment of some measures can be quickly responded.

As the core of the most stable base, Juzhou, Zhu Ming is in charge. It is safest to establish a school and a college here.

So, on the way back to Mizhou, Meng Jiucheng went to Juzhou again and discussed various policies to introduce with Zhu Ming.

When we arrived in Juzhou, Meng Jiucheng actually met an acquaintance and an unexpected person from Zhu Ming.

Fang Chennan was originally Wanyan Bird's aide, but was deceived by Meng Jiucheng's fake surrender. Under the "protection" of the personnel sent by Meng Jiucheng, he walked and watched in the base area.

Unexpectedly, just a few days later, Wanyan Bird was defeated and died, and Fang Chennan immediately lost his original treatment.

There is still "protection" but there is no freedom. Although Fang Chennan was not imprisoned, he was also detained and placed under house arrest.

Fortunately, Zhu Ming once served as an official in the Jin Dynasty and had a meeting with Fang Chennan. He thought he was also a talented person, so he summoned him to listen to him.

Fang Chennan had no choice but to do so. However, with the repeated victory of the Red Turban Army and the daily results of the governance of the base area, his unwilling thoughts also changed a lot.

In fact, Zhu Ming has been doing the work of cultivating local government officials and has the idea of ​​opening a college. However, the finances are not sufficient and it has not been implemented immediately.

However, what Meng Jiucheng proposed this time was even more grand than opening a college. Every village set up a school, and every child of appropriate age needs to study. This idea alone is enough to shock the world.

You should know that scholars have been a title of honor in all dynasties, and they are not something that ordinary people can obtain, nor are they affordable by ordinary families.

Moreover, women cannot enter school, merchants, tribes, slaves and other people cannot enter the exam. The low popularity of education in ancient times also has a lot to do with the social system.

Of course, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the social class had undergone major changes, and the ancient system of good and cheapness was completely shaken and could not be established.

By the Southern Song Dynasty, the rigid system of good and low-key had basically disappeared, and what was left was the distinction between good and low-key formed by people in their long-term concepts.

"If you don't ask about good or bad things, you can go to the academy if you pass the exam?" Zhu Ming stroked his beard, his expression was not surprised.

Meng Jiucheng was born in a humble family and would recruit many rebels in the future, mostly from the bottom of society and engaged in all industries. In this way, good people and low-key people naturally need to be treated.

"Mencius said: Get the talents of the world and educate them." Meng Jiucheng replied calmly: "Confucius also said: There is no difference in teaching."

Zhu Ming smiled and said, "Since it was said by the sages, there was nothing to be worthy of. Admiring Confucianism and promoting schools are also good methods to calm the hearts of the people."

A good way to calm the hearts of the people? Meng Jiucheng was a little confused, although many people did this.

For example, after Ying Chunzhi took office in Chuzhou, facing a devastated situation and a waste of money, the first thing he did was to personally lead his subordinates to renovate a dilapidated temple into a Confucian school building, and to calm the people through this move.

But Meng Jiucheng didn't understand how much does building a school have to stabilize the people's hearts? Of course, since Zhu Ming has been raised to this level, he is happy to accept it.

"As for setting up a school in every village, it may not be possible in a short period of time." Zhu Ming turned to the scene: "First of all, there are teachers. Where can I find so many teachers? Even if there are enough staff, are they willing to teach in the village?"

Without fame and fortune, you can only make money that doesn’t have to worry about food and drink. This is indeed not the ideal of a scholar.

Of course, this is just a temporary difficulty. When education becomes popular, will there be fewer people who are qualified to teach children?

"I think you can consider giving fame or fame, or having the opportunity to become an official in a period of time." Meng Jiucheng also had ideas about this, but it was just encouragement from money or other aspects.

"No, no." Before Zhu Ming could speak, Fang Chennan, who was listening, couldn't help but object, "Since you have fame, you have a salary, even if you are only enough to eat enough. In this case, how can you be satisfied and how can you teach with peace of mind?"

Meng Jiucheng smiled and said, "If you want them to teach and educate people, how can you treat them badly? Fame and salary can be regarded as rewards, as the basis for teaching without worries about food and clothing, and peace of mind. As for personal development in the future, if you have the ability, I really hope that they can continue to make progress."

Zhu Ming nodded and said, "I think about fame and fortune. I can not mention my salary for the time being. I only use money and food to recruit. If things don't go well, it's not too late to increase the amount."

"Mr. Zhu's words are a mature opinion." Fang Chennan immediately agreed and said, "Famousness is achieved through hard study, so how can we give it easily?"

Meng Jiucheng thought about it and nodded in agreement.

This is like the policy of benefiting the people implemented by Meng Jiucheng. There is always some room for future use, rather than just one step and no room for grace.
