My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 73 Shijingchang and Wuluyuan

The news that the emperor wanted to open Enke, but only for the Imperial Academy of Shuntian Prefecture, spread instantly as the chief officials of the various ministries returned to the capital.

Also spread was the emperor's comment that the Southern Zhili were disrespectful and did not open Enke at the Nanjing Imperial College.

For a time, the capital city was almost shaken up.

It's okay for the Northerners, after all, the Imperial College is in Shuntian Mansion.

The officials from Nanzhili in Beijing were like thorns growing under their butts. A letter of memorial poured into the General Affairs Department, then entered the cabinet and was quickly sent to Nanhaizi, begging the emperor not to think that Nanzhili was disrespectful. , What's more, they directly said that the emperor was provoking confrontation between the north and the south.

Regarding these memorials, Zhu Youxiao always chose to keep them in mind but not publish them.

The North and the South are in opposition, and the South is submissive and not submissive. Don't you know how special you are?
Besides, it’s not like the Beijing Imperial College has students without Nanzhili household registration, it’s just that there are fewer of them.

The tinkling sound of iron could be heard in the ears. Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian, Liu Shimin, Liu He, the new eunuch in charge of the War Bureau, and Zhao Shuang were strolling around the newly built factory in Shijingshan.

It is said to be a factory area. At this time, apart from some craftsmen who have moved here first, there are only civilian workers who are engaged in large-scale construction.

"What's going on over there at Xishan Factory?"

"Back to your Majesty, Dongchang is watching over you and has paid enough wages to the miners. It has stabilized now. After the factory areas have been divided, I am now hiring people to build workshops."

"Is there enough money?"

After wandering around the courtyard of the landlord's house he bought, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Zhao Shuang and asked.

"If it's not enough, I'll give it to you again."

"Back to the Emperor, Wei Daxuan has just acquired part of Shijingshan's iron mine, and is still integrating and auditing the accounts. The miners are reorganizing according to the Emperor's instructions, building a factory area, and providing cash and food on a daily basis, because there is not much current ore in the factory. So there aren’t a lot of craftsmen.”

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang saluted.

"It doesn't cost much money so far."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, recognizing Liu He's work.

Shijingshan is a good place. It is very suitable for development into an industrial base. There is a large iron mine underground. In later generations, this place had a famous state-owned enterprise - Shougang, which was once the capital steel company of China.

Steel is the backbone of a country. When steel production increases, there will be a foundation for many things to be done later.

"From now on, it will be called Shijing Factory. You are the chief merchant of Longwang Company. This Shijing Factory, like Xishan Factory, will be placed under Longwang Company."

After wandering around for a while, Colonel Zhu You gave instructions to Zhao Shuang.

"I established the Shijing Factory for two purposes. First, to mine iron ore in Shijingshan and then smelt it into iron on the spot."

"Second, don't be reluctant to spend money on the construction of Shijing Factory. It must be fast, but it must be better. Quality cannot be sacrificed for speed."

"I understand."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shuang quickly bowed.

Zhu Youxiao said, turning to Liu He.

"I will also give you 5 taels of silver to hire manpower and build a factory. It will be called the Ordnance Factory. After it is completed, you will move the craftsmen of the Military War Bureau here. After the iron ore of Shijing Factory leaves the factory, it will be built on the spot. Transfer it to the arsenal and forge weapons."

"Slaves take orders."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Liu He quickly bowed.

After giving some instructions to the two of them, Zhu Youxiao ended today's inspection, got on the carriage, and returned to Nanhaizi.

Professional things, let professional people do it.

Zhao Shuang used to be an iron businessman and has experience in how to manage the mining industry.

Now, he wants to build a complete industrial system based on the Shijing Factory and the Ordnance Factory.

When Zhu Youxiao returned to Nanhaizi, he saw Yang Hao waiting here.

"The guilty minister Yang Hao respectfully sends his regards."

"I'm sorry, what's going on?"

After handing the horse rein to the young eunuch, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Hao and asked.

"Back to the Emperor, I have purchased enough courtyards in the south of Beijing. The initial plan is to recruit 200 students. Please give the Emperor a preview."

Yang Hao said, handing over a memorial.

Taking the memorial from his hand, he opened it and read it, then listened to Yang Hao's report.

"According to the emperor's wishes, I have established three departments: the baggage department, the military law department, and the general department." "The baggage department enrolls 200 students, the military law department enrolls 200 students, and the military law department enrolls 800 students, led by Chen Ce and Chen General Yin Er and some veterans serve as instructors."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Your Majesty intends to select general officers above the rank for training. I will divide them into four grades according to the establishment of the Tiger Guards and Leopard Tao Guards issued by the Emperor. The training period for each grade is one year."

"Currently, I am working with generals Chen Ce and Chen Yin to compile teaching materials based on the military training minutes and new discipline records left by Qi Shaobao."

"Ah."

After clicking again, Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Hao and asked.

"The Wulue Academy is here, so where do you think it's better to recruit students?"

"Back to the emperor, I think we should recruit students from martial arts and health schools."

"The martial arts examination is our way to select generals in the Ming Dynasty. We recruit students for training, and they will definitely be able to become generals."

"Weixue opened schools for various health offices, and many of the generals' disciples studied in Weixue."

"Health Science."

Hearing Yang Hao's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded thoughtfully.

Education in the Ming Dynasty walked on three legs, which can be roughly divided into local students and imperial students.

The local students are divided into Confucian students of the state government and military students of the Wei Institute.

Don't think that the Ming Dynasty's guard system was so bad that it could teach no good students.

In fact, it was the military students of the Weisuo who really carried the Ming Dynasty until now.

In every imperial examination, the proportion of military students from the Wei Institute was as high as [-]%.

Health education was originally decided by Zhu Yuanzhang and was established in border guard stations such as Gansu, Peking, Pingdusi, and Daning.

In the first year of Zhengtong (Mingmen was nine years old at this time), Wei Xue became popular among all the guards in the world. In the third year of Chenghua, the establishment of Wei Xue became a permanent rule.

The number of talents produced by the Weisuo Army is beyond imagination.

In terms of civil servants, Zhang Juzheng came from the Jingzhou Guard, Sun Chengzong came from the Baoding Right Guard, and Yuan Keli came from the Suiyang Guard.

In terms of generals, Qi Jiguang came from Dengzhou Guard, Yu Dayou came from Zhangzhou Guard, Ma Gui came from Datong Right Guard, Li Rusong came from Tieling Guard, Sun Chuanting came from Shanxi Zhenwu Guard, and Lu Xiangsheng came from Nanjing Yingyang Guard.

Health education and state and county schools are two different education systems.

What the prefectural and county schools studied were Ji, Lv, Zhao, Rites and Etiquette.

Weixue, on the other hand, studies the six subjects of the gentleman's six arts: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.

"I am very satisfied with your suggestion."

Today, Yang Hao finally came up with a suggestion that made him feel that Yang Hao was still worthy of living.

"I remember that the students from all over the country are the children of outstanding military attachés and sergeants. I asked them to take the examination to enter the Military Academy. I agreed."

Zhu Youxiao said, turning to look at Liu Shimin.

"Let all health schools in the world recommend five military students to Beijing."

"Ask the officers above the rank of commander of the Beijing Camp to hand over their military affairs to their deputies, and all of them will enter the Military Academy to study."

"The servants lead the order."

Hearing this, Liu Shimin said quickly, and then turned around to draft the imperial edict.

Turning to look at Yang Hao, Zhu Youxiao continued.

"I asked Cao Wenzhao to dispatch [-] elites from the Hu Ben Guards to you. You must remember that the Wulue Academy is the training place for our Ming Dynasty generals. The discipline must be strict. Even if a dandy comes in, you must give it to him. I will train you to be a qualified general."

"I understand."

Hearing this, Yang Hao quickly bowed.

In fact, Yang Hao was complaining in his heart.

The commanders and generals above in the capital camp were not a large group of hereditary, honorable, and benevolent disciples. If they were all thrown into his martial arts academy for him to train, he would have to be scolded to thicken his face.

But now, Yang Hao didn't dare to refute a word.
