May forty-two, the hair is not combed in January (8)

The yamen of the governor's office is similar to the later provincial governments. The top leaders and governors also participate in politics, senators, and are responsible for special affairs in various fields. Some of them are not even in the prefecture. The problems Wu Yi is facing now are very similar to those of the crown prince, and he lacks enough administrative personnel to work for him.

What made him particularly uneasy was that if officials in Zhejiang Province wanted to investigate carefully, there was no clean one. Even if the Censorate refused to handle such a major case, how could he have the ability to solve it?

"With my experience in governing the local area, this is nothing." Liao Xing heard Wu Yi's distress and said carelessly: "Actually, your highness has set an example for you, just learn according to it."

"Oh? Please tell me clearly."

"As soon as your highness arrives in Nanjing, you will clear Yingtian Prefecture first." Liao Xing said: "You can start with Hangzhou Prefecture, cultivate your own team first, and then each prefecture places will be settled one by one. Judging from my experience, after at most two prefectures, other prefectures and counties should be sensible."

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

"So you should act quickly and have clear charges, so that people can believe that you are out of public aspirations, so what are you afraid of when you impeachment?" Liao Xing said.

"But Your Highness is not the most taboo thing about forming cliques for personal gain..."

"You misunderstood this 'team'." Liao Xing said that he was quite good at being a teacher: "The so-called 'team' is not your personal personalities. It is an official who has the same position as you. These officials either disdain to embezzle or dare not embezzle. In short, they can help you squeeze out those corrupt officials. If there are honest officials in the prefectures and counties, of course, they are also your team, as long as they are promoted greatly."

"Now that all officials are corrupt, where can I find a clean official?"

"So you have to teach your own students." Liao Xing said: "These students don't know anything. If you scare them, you will work hard for you. Especially if you don't know all kinds of tricks in the officialdom, even if you embezzle, you will easily be caught. They have seen the consequences of corrupt officials with their own eyes, so they naturally dare not be greedy."

"That's not willing to be greedy..."

"What the children of the Shi family want is the influence of the local area and to do a greater business. They will not touch those public funds with a shallow eye." Liao Xing thought of Hou Fangyu and Wu Weiye, and felt powerless for no reason. However, he thought that he was working hard on the Shi family and would become the ancestor of the Shi family's children in the future, and his mood was much better.

"If you teach your students yourself, how can you teach them?" Wu Yi asked.

Liao Xing had a sudden inspiration and smiled: "The fastest way is of course to ask the teacher to teach his nephews. As long as he passes the cultural exam, he can naturally be placed in various positions as an official or even an official."

Wu Yi was also quite moved and said, "Where is the gentleman from here?"

"Sir, I have it, but I don't have it." Liao Xing said: "It's better for you and me to jointly run a college. If you go to the place, I will pay for the expenses."

Wu Yi was a little hesitant. He was not unable to afford a few hundred taels of silver. The key was that these people were trained to fill the positions of officials at all levels in Zhejiang. If they were all his own students, would it cause taboos? Although he was from the southerners and had a history of his own endorsement, those scholars who wrote essays would not be so worried about it when scolded.

"Boss Fang is not worried about not being able to recover the money, right?" Liao Xing smiled and said, "The first administrative crash course is only three months. If the students have a good foundation, they can come out in one or two months. When they arrive at the local area, they will naturally be your team. Their methods of administration and office are taught by Bos Fang. Wouldn't they be able to do it? Isn't they all Fang Boss Fang's achievements from this?"

Wu Yi knew that Liao Xing was right, but he shook his head and said, "The name of the Administrative Academy is too pretentious, so we should clearly distinguish between public and private. In this way, the provincial government will give you land and silver to build Zhejiang Administrative Academy. In addition, let's open a school together, and the number of students will be collected as much as they come out."

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

"Zhejiang Ocean Academy." Wu Yi said: "From Qiantang River, it is the East China Sea, with a convenient terrain. Since Your Highness has opened the Maritime Bureau, he must release the maritime trade. Our two families have shallow foundations. Only by cultivating reliable sailors, the fire will grow, and you can get a share of them in the future."

Liao Xing has been staring at the vast ocean for a long time, and this time he cannot share the money in the Maritime Bureau, so he will naturally not let the sea go and make profits. With Tian Cunshan's supply, Zhejiang Fang Bo arranged the joints. If he had his own fleet, it would be a huge profit.

"I think this Ocean Academy can also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to endorse this letter." Liao Xingdao.

"oh?"

"The trained sailors can usually take merchant ships, but if the country has something to do, they can also take gun ships." Liao Xing said: "So the rules should be based on the rules of warships, and the Navy University will send instructors."

Wu Yi couldn't help but lean back slightly: This man is so bold and fearless!

Liao Xing's statement is actually in line with Zhu Cixuan's original intention. Zhu Cixuan had long wanted to accumulate reserves in a layered and hierarchical manner. But now there are not many professionals in the Ming Dynasty, and many industries are passed down from father to son. If Guangxing education is not only a problem of money, it also requires cooperation from multiple aspects.

Seeing Liao Xing's proposal about Ocean Academy, Zhu Cixuan was of course willing to participate, and at the same time decided to divide the capital: the Royal accounted for 40% of Ocean Academy's equity, and the other equity was divided equally by Wu Yi and Liao Xing. At the same time, it was also suggested that Liao Xing go to Shen Tingyang for help, and that they were the boss of the Shachuan Gang.

"Your Highness, officials at all levels now know the benefits of running schools. Wouldn't this be the source of party struggles in the future?" Lu Suyao still resisted private schools.

Zhu Cixuan said: "If there are too many lice, the more parties, the less they can't fight. Look at the Spring and Autumn Period, there were fewer people in every country, and Guan Zhong could sweep the world with 30,000 people. During the Warring States Period, the seven heroes fought in a melee, and tens of thousands of casualties were killed or injured. In the past, the wealthy families were too few and too big, so they dared to compete with the Tian family. Now I have completely opened the door to officialdom, and the emerging families are like bamboo shoots after a rain, in other words, a pile of loose sand."

"But if so many interests are taken back to the country..."

"You have also seen the map of the territory of the nations. The Ming Dynasty is just a corner of this planet. There are more vast lands outside to be fought for. If only my Zhu family is the only one, how much can it occupy?" Zhu Cilang shook his head and said, "Let them all get up. If there is not enough meat in the country, they will naturally have to go out. But now it seems that the diploma has depreciated a little."

In the 17th year of Chongzhen, a B-level diploma was able to take the job of a clerk in a county government office. If you were willing to take a teaching position in the township, your salary would not decrease. By the 19th year of Chongzhen, a large number of students were admitted to the standard cultural examination and could basically obtain a A-level diploma. It was so difficult to find a job in a county government office with a A-level diploma, so you could only take the professional qualifications such as accounting certificates and judicial certificates.

Now that the trend of education reform has been blowing to Jiangnan, even "scholars" who do not even have the qualifications of students can successfully pass the A-level cultural examination. In some places, there are even children in their teens who obtain A-level diplomas, which undoubtedly leads to a decrease in the presence of standard cultural examinations.

If two major imperial examination provinces in Jiangxi and Fujian also turn to join the standard cultural examination, then this A-level diploma may be even more ridiculous.

Establishing a more complete education system and diploma level becomes something that has to be considered in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, there were schools in China from Shang and Zhou dynasties, and by the Ming Dynasty, the school systems at all levels had become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Zhu Cixuan compared the national school level and set up three levels of university, township and elementary school. The elementary school is the compulsory education system of each village, township and county, and has four years of academic system and obtained a first-class diploma in the standard cultural examination. The township school is located in Fu and Shangxian. After acquiring full credit, you can apply to universities in various provinces.

Universities also have a credit system. Those who pass the college are recommended by the supervisor and reviewed by professors. Those who pass the college are awarded a bachelor's degree. Those who engage in education and have achieved great results will be awarded a master's title; those who have outstanding cultural and educational achievements will be awarded a doctoral title.

The reason why Zhu Cixuan adopted the credit system is that the current level of students is too disparity. Some people have to start from the pinyin dictionary, while some students are invited to enlighten him at the age of three or five. Therefore, except for the primary school system that stipulates the school system to prevent some people from wasting educational resources in the school, the other two-level schools can graduate if they have full credits.

When you go to the village school, the country only bears the tuition fees for top students, called scholarships. Other students have to pay a tuition before they can enter the school.

...

"Master Huang, this is a book on the reform of the education system passed down by the cabinet. Our department needs to publish it everywhere as soon as possible." The clerk respectfully presented a stack of paper wrapped in thick paper, which wrote the title of the document, the secret level, the number of pages, and who issued the delivery to which department.

Huang Ruixue didn't raise his head, but he still wrote quickly: "Let it go."

The clerk did not dare to disturb him much, so he placed the documents in a red painted wooden box, and then closed the door and left.

In April of the 20th year of Chongzhen, Beijing gradually became warm. After the Grain Rain, there was green everywhere. The crown prince seemed to like green especially. Not only did he ask all prefectures and counties to plant trees, but he also had to plant uphill trees on the streets to divide the roadways and sidewalks.

Huang Ruixue, who had been working hard for a long time, felt the tip of her nose slightly itch. It turned out that a drop of crystal clear sweat beads gradually gathered on her pink nose, which was shaking. She finally finished writing the last word, raised her head suddenly, took the square scarf at her hand, and wiped off the slight sweat from the upper lip and forehead of her nose.

Huang Ruixue pulled the bell twice, and the clerk sitting outside hurried in and waited for the order.

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

The clerk hurried over and pushed open the newly equipped window with bright glass, putting on the phone, and a new wind rushed into the workplace, refreshing.

"Is this a private letter transferred from the Grand Governor's Office?" Huang Ruixue, who was refreshed and calm, found a strange letter lying in the wooden box.
