Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 487 New Learning
The embarrassing situation that Daming is facing now is that there are too few people available, not officials who have passed the imperial examination system, but people who really have new ideas.

Many times, Emperor Chongzhen also wanted to promote more changes in his heart, but there were only so many people available, no matter how good the idea was, he had to take it step by step.

Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone the truth that he could not chew off too much.

Especially at the current stage of Ming Dynasty, it is a relatively bad era. It seems that the law and discipline of Ming Dynasty are everywhere, but unfortunately it is not the case in many places.

Reality is often cruel.

"Now, how many poor students have been recruited by the new schools opened in Huangzhuang in various places in Zhili?" The Emperor Chongzhen in casual clothes walked on this bustling road and asked Wang Chengen next to him: "Except for those orphans? In addition, how many of the Li and Shu's children have actually entered the new school opened in this batch?"

"Return to the emperor... the master's words."

Wang Chengen paused, glanced around, bowed slightly and said, "According to the information collected earlier, the Huangzhuang New School opened in various places has recruited more than [-] students from poor families.

Most of these poor students are hopeless in the imperial examination, so they are very satisfied with the salary offered by the new school.

Except for the orphans who were raised by grace, there are more than [-] children of Li Shu who are only of the right age, and they are studying various subjects compiled by the master. "

"Ah."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and said: "These children of Li and Shu should be the victims of the disaster that were resettled before, so in these days, the Chuanhai General Assembly will gather orphans, how is it going?
Now that the world is not peaceful, and disasters are frequent in various places, the situation of selling children and selling girls is bound to be serious. In order not to affect the performance of the government, the local government may hide this matter. "

"Back to the words of the master."

Wang Chengen continued: "Chuanhai always gathers orphans, there are already more than [-] orphans, and the oldest ones are almost adults. According to your instructions, these people will be sent to Xishan.

However, in the past few months, Cao Tongzhi chose to leave more than [-] people, saying that he was training the backbone of Jinyiwei.

Now there is a problem in Xishan, that is, there are too few students from poor families to teach lessons, but the servants have already ordered people to hire elsewhere. "

Cultivating talents in various fields is something that Emperor Chongzhen has been doing secretly. In this era of illiteracy, being able to read and write is not a bad life.

Even if you can't pass the imperial examination and enter the Ming Dynasty, you can still find jobs to make a living in various places.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, if he wanted to improve the productivity of Daming and change the Ming Dynasty completely, he had to cultivate more talents, which was not limited to being an official.

There are too many fields such as gun development, agriculture, accounting, smelting, textiles, shipbuilding, etc., that require a group of high-quality technical personnel.

Especially in the field of chemical industry, Daming must develop as soon as possible.

Facing the environment of frequent disasters, under the plan of rectifying government and building water conservancy, if the first generation of fertilizer can be developed and produced, it will be very beneficial to maintain and increase production.

"It takes a lot of care."

Emperor Chongzhen said as he walked: "Although there are many things to take care of, I am very concerned about this matter, and I must not slack off.

No matter how much money is spent, it is necessary to recruit more children from poor families. This is the key to supporting new learning. Without their teaching in various places, new talents cannot be cultivated.

In addition, Chuanhai will continue to develop, and it will also gather orphans in the local area. What is hateful is this world, but those orphans are innocent.

Since their parents can't support them, I will support them. "

"Master, don't worry, this matter was handled by the servant himself, and there will never be any mistakes."

Wang Chengen hurriedly replied: "However, there is an interesting thing, Sun Chuanting, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, also built a private school in Fucaifang.

Now that the main buildings are basically completed, most of the school-age children recruited are the children of the victims who were previously resettled. This matter has caused quite a heated discussion in the capital. "

"is it?"

Emperor Chongzhen stopped in his tracks and said with a smile, "I'm so busy these days that I almost forgot about Fucaifang. Let's go and have a look."

After speaking, Emperor Chongzhen walked towards Fucaifang.

For Emperor Chongzhen, going out of the palace this time was just a way to relax and take a look at the conditions of the various squares in the capital.

Staying in the palace for a long time and only relying on some memorials to understand the outside situation is not good after all, it is divorced from the essence of reality.

Perhaps Emperor Chongzhen would not do such things as leaving the capital to inspect the world, but he would do it when he wandered around the capital and learned more about the local situation.

After all, no matter how much planning is done, if it is divorced from the essence of reality, it will be another form of empty talk to harm the country after all.

"After you reminded me like this, I remembered one thing."

On the way to Fucaifang, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said: "To strengthen the foundation of new learning, we can't just rely on the new learning in Xishan and Huangzhuang, we must also implement it locally as soon as possible.

Ok.

In the name of the local disaster relief administration, a batch of new schools were opened in batches in various prefectures and counties, and the scholars and officials of the administration could be called to teach the lessons in batches.

In this way, not only can more talents be cultivated, but also the group of scholars and officials can be exposed to the core ideas of the new learning.

When I go back, remind me to do this. "

"Here!"

Wang Chengen bowed in response.

Walking on this bustling street, looking at the clean ground, even a hundred steps away, there will be a garbage storage place, and there will be a public toilet a few hundred steps away. After seeing this scene, Emperor Chongzhen has a lot of smiles on his face up.

Compared with the clean and tidy environment of the later generations, although the capital still has many shortcomings, compared with the previous one, the changes have been great.

The whole public health can prevent the occurrence of the epidemic.

According to the original timeline, an epidemic would break out in Daming almost every few years, even in the border of the capital.

Perhaps in other places in Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen could not be absolute yet, but in the capital, in Gyeonggi, and in Beizhili, this was his default basic plan, and he had to gradually advance the progress of this matter.

"One more thing, you have to start recruiting a group of medical craftsmen." Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and said to Wang Chengen: "It is very important to start building a Chinese medicine house in Xishan and train more young medical craftsmen. , and start making preparations when we get back.”

"Here!"

Wang Chengen didn't dare to hesitate, and responded immediately.

But in Wang Chengen's heart, he smiled wryly. When his own emperor didn't spend any money, it was a good thing. The money spent and the money stored in the internal funds were really like flowing water. If there was no Chuanhai Association, there would be Huangzhuang to build If the factories that have been built want to support such expenses, I am afraid that their internal funds will already be empty.
