The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 141 Education
the will of the people.

Basically got the seeds.

Many people in the surrounding counties know about the land reform.

不过土地的所有权还是在县衙，农户只能使用。

You don't have to pay taxes to use it, it's the same as your own, or even better.

It's as if Runtu had won Juren, and the people in his village put the land under his name.

In two months, the newly joined escort team of 500 people has more or less looked good after two months of training.

Continue to expand.

Another 500 people were recruited.

目前主要的经济来源还是闰土空间中的东西。

Almost a million silver.

million.

For the imperial court, it may cost almost as much to build a palace for the old queen.

But for a county, that's a lot of money.

There are many things that can be done.

Millions of silver, even the richest man in the county can't come up with so much.

If it is in Hangzhou City, there are quite a few million taels of silver.

However, it is not possible to come up with so much cash.

Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver.

100 million is enough for a magistrate to be greedy for a lifetime.

The magistrate's salary is no more than 50 taels a year, and the county magistrate's salary is no more than 40 taels.

It's a little less, but basically there will be a way to make money.

The funds of a county town may be several thousand taels a year, and there is too little silver left, so it is necessary to find ways to save various expenses, and nothing can be done, which is not as good as the annual income of a big landlord.It is conceivable how much financial pressure the county government is under.Runtu is different, the million taels can be used.

In the Ming Dynasty, part of the taxation was money and part of it was food, while in the Qing Dynasty it was unified with the Bank of Communications.

明代留给地方的经费占了一多半，上缴朝廷的大概三分之一有余。这就意味着，地方州县乃至三司都有足够的经费，不用自掏腰包。

The situation in the Qing Dynasty was different. From the last years of Shunzhi to the early years of Kangxi, the imperial court continued to reduce the number of local reserves, from about half at the beginning to less than one-eighth.As a result, local funds cannot maintain normal expenditures, which has led to grassroots officials such as prefectures and counties having to pay out of their own pockets.Obviously, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and it is definitely unrealistic to pay for it out of one's own pocket, so there are various extras and taxes, and there are a lot of money in the name of fire consumption.

It is rare to see officials who do not collect money.

In the early years of Shunzhi, there may be 1 taels of silver left in a county.

When it came to Kangxi and Qianlong, it was directly reduced by half.

Now less.

官俸，知县50两、县丞40两、典吏30两、县儒学的人总共80两，200多两。

Meal money for yamen clerks, Menzi, Zaoli, Minzhuang, Wuzuo, Jinzi, Makuai, Sedan Umbrella Fanman, Douqiu, Kuding, Pusi, Watchman, Fireman, Blowing Hands, Tiantanhu, Zhai There are more than 100 palace husbands, Xiannongtan households, grooms, Mendou, Shanfu, and Zhaifu, and a little over a thousand a year.

There are more than 100 taels of sacrifices every year.

The miscellaneous things add up, and it is estimated to be two to three thousand taels.

In the past, the actual tax collected was about 5 to [-] taels.

The rest went into the pockets of officials.

The county magistrate divides the bulk.

It may be about 3000 taels directly.

Not too much either.

The annual salary of 50 taels must be too little for the county magistrate.

Adding 100 taels of silver every month is not too much.

After all, the leader of the county seat.

Others share the rest.

More than half of it will be used as the county's expenses.

If you want to develop education is the first priority.

There are not many people who read books.

As long as they were literate, Runtu basically recruited them.

Still too little too little.

Talent is very important.

To do something drastic, you need a lot of people.

The guards are easy to say, as long as they have the strength.

There are not many who can read.

Few have attended private schools for one or two years.

闰土要办学校的话肯定是新式学堂。

Teach those who are more practical.

There are so many positions that need to be used after a few years of teaching.

Even those who are literate are better, study again.

Arithmetic, History, Geography, Physical Education, Painting, Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Civil Engineering.

He directly called several people from the newly arranged Education Bureau.

"Education, the next focus. Each town in the county needs to have a primary school and a middle school. The county needs to have three middle schools and three universities. All children in the county need to study. You formulate a charter, and money is not Problem. Whether it is elementary school, middle school or university, there is no tuition fee. Nor is food expense, which is borne by the county government. Just like the land reform, it is enforced, and all school-age children need to go to school. Compulsory education.”

"My lord, this is unprecedented."

"Since there is no precedent, let's start from Jiashan. Compulsory education means the unified use of public resources to guarantee education for all school-age children. The three basic principles of compulsory education are compulsory, universal and free. All school-age children should receive compulsory education The obligation of education, and there is no restriction on class or origin of the educational object, and it must be exempt from tuition fees. Compulsory, free, popular and secular. The meaning of obligation includes the obligation of parents and families to make school-age children go to school, The obligation to establish schools so that the people can enjoy education, and the entire city has the obligation to eliminate all kinds of adverse effects that hinder the healthy development of school-age children."

"There are also precedents. In Germany, after the industrial revolution, compulsory education played the task of enabling people to master industrial knowledge, and the time of compulsory education has also grown from the earliest 3 to 6 months to 6 years, until 9 years. It is in line with the level and height of scientific development at that time and can master the basic operations of industrial manufacturing at that time."

"The task is heavy, increase investment in education."

“大人，这件事情的难度太大了，闻所未闻。”

Runtu: "It must be done, and everyone in the city can cooperate."

The first task is to build the school first.

Everyone else was intimidated.

Runtu is reforming the law.

But the well-known Reform Movement of [-] in Beijing all failed.

The vegetable market killed six of them.

It also includes Mr. Tan, a well-known person.

The capital failed, and the adults of the family went to Jiashan to do it.

And it got even more violent.

But even the land reform has been completed.

这个教育应该会轻松一点。

“大人，我还是觉着难度太大了。”

"Tell me?"

"Schools, and teachers. There are more than [-] people in our county. Among them, there are at least tens of thousands of school-age children. There are also girls' schools. I have never heard of any girls' schools in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. With so many people, we need Enough schools, that much money. Enough teachers."

"This requires a lot of money, tens of thousands of taels of silver may be less."

"Money is not a problem. I will transfer the money to the Finance Bureau, and then you can just go."

As for building a house or something, Runtu went to look at it himself.And now that the cement factory has been set up, we have our own raw materials.Thinking of setting up all the schools within three months.recruit teachers.Spend a lot of money to hire teachers.
