Marry the Regent [Time Travel]
Chapter 83 Great Development
With the two modern people, He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou, in charge, Qingzhou's development momentum is very rapid, especially after the people responded to the call of the King Yan's Mansion to plant melons and fruits, the living standards of the people in Qingzhou almost rose in a straight line.
In order to encourage these fruit growers, the Prince Yan Mansion specially distributed subsidies to them in the first year. This unprecedented good thing made the fruit growers enthusiastic and encouraged them to work hard on growing melons and fruits. Facts have proved that Qingzhou is indeed particularly suitable for growing melons and fruits. Here there is plenty of sunshine and little rain, and the melons and fruits produced are much sweeter and more delicious than those in other places. After being transported to the south of the Yangtze River through the official organization of Yanwang Mansion, they quickly won the favor of wealthy families who pursue enjoyment without special publicity.
This was completely within the expectations of He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou, so they forced the price of melons and fruits to be higher from the beginning. Some fruit farmers were worried that they would not be able to sell them, but now they see that the fruits grown in their fields have become Jiangnan. The high-priced delicacy sought after by the wealthy households are all so happy that they can't see their teeth.
With the first success, the Yan Palace did not intervene in the subsequent matters. He Yuan handed over the full authority of these north-south business contacts to the merchants in Qingzhou, and the Palace only grasped the general direction and carried out macro-control at critical moments.
With the participation of merchants, Qingzhou melons and fruits soon became famous all over the country. Even in the capital, there were exaggerated scenes of Qingzhou melons and fruits being scrambled by tens of thousands of people.
With the reputation of "Qingzhou Melons and Fruits", the life of Qingzhou fruit farmers suddenly became more nourishing. The food that had been planted for a whole year with the yellow mud and back turned to the sky was only enough to eat, but now it can be easily earned. With enough silver for three years of daily expenses, these honest and responsible ancient people also experienced the luxury of buying rice with silver, and the rice they bought in Jiangnan was many times more delicious than the rice they grew in Qingzhou. , Such a life is simply a fairy life for ordinary people who are not demanding.
The people in Qingzhou have money, and naturally every household is happy. Now whoever says that King Yan is not a thing, they will probably be drowned by their spittle.
However, the ones who are most grateful to King Yan's Mansion are probably the businessmen in Qingzhou. Since ancient times, agriculture has been valued over business. Although businessmen are rich, they are inferior to others when they go out. Reform, many decrees issued are beneficial to businessmen, and in actual operation, many restrictions have been relaxed on businessmen, and Yan Wang and his wife also visited the chamber of commerce in person, expressing great goodwill and attention to Qingzhou businessmen, which made many The old businessman, who had seen all the world, was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
The people were grateful to the Yan Palace, and the subsequent government orders were naturally implemented very smoothly. Almost every time a notice was posted, it would attract crowds and discussions from the whole city. Because many people were illiterate, the Yan Palace specially arranged for people to stand by patiently Explain and even answer questions.
These changes only took a year. When the government decree was issued last time, Xue Yunzhou went to the gate of the city to look at the people watching the notice. After returning, he began to think about running a school.
He had had this idea when he was in Yushan, but at that time their foundation was not stable, and they were facing a group of refugees who didn't know if they would stay in Qingzhou, so they didn't take this plan to heart. Now Yanwangfu is in Qingzhou Having established absolute prestige, it seems that the time is ripe, and the plan for running a school can be put forward.
He told He Yuan about his plan: "I will become a teacher, teach Pinyin, promote Mandarin, popularize it for all people, regardless of gender, age or age, how about it?"
He Yuan looked at him silently, and in his mind he could almost imagine the scene of thousands of people emptying out after hearing that Princess Yan taught in person. Although this made him a little unhappy, there was no better way at present, and Xue Yunzhou was a man after all, so he put Hyundai should also have its own business, and he has no reason to stop it.
"Is it okay, second brother?"
He Yuan: "..."
Everyone understands the truth, but he is still not very happy.
Xue Yunzhou leaned close to his nose and blinked at him: "Husband?"
He Yuan: "..."
Xue Yunzhou laughed: "What's the matter with you?"
He Yuan compromised: "Yes, but... you only teach for one term, and let your students teach later, and pick out some who have achieved success in their studies and train them to be teachers."
Xue Yunzhou vaguely saw that he seemed to be a little bit jealous, and he wanted to fly up in his heart, but his face was serious: "Oh, don't worry! I don't have that much time, and I don't have the patience to be a teacher. It's not that I don't have the patience There is a way!"
He Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "Yes."
Xue Yunzhou immediately ran to the back of the desk and picked up a brush: "Come on, let's make a plan."
Just as He Yuan was about to follow him, Song Quan begged to see him outside.
What Song Quan brought was news from Beijing: "The Empress Dowager has fallen ill. It is said that she is very ill. She can't see anyone. Even the emperor was stopped when she wanted to serve her sick."
He Yuan was really surprised this time, he twitched his brows, thinking: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. The empress dowager's defense is very tight. Our people can't find out the news, and even the imperial doctor keeps secret." Song Quan looked guilty. He Yuan's trust.
He Yuan didn't mean to blame anything, after all, the imperial palace was no different than other places, and it was inevitable that they couldn't be monitored. He just felt that the queen mother fell ill too suddenly, without any warning before.
Xue Yunzhou couldn't help being surprised: "The emperor can be stopped? By whom?"
Song Quandao: "The queen mother's confidant eunuch is said to be acting on orders, and the queen mother must have explained it before."
"I don't even see my own son... so hard that the queen mother is disfigured?" Xue Yunzhou guessed, and quickly shook his head, "No, the queen mother is a man, why do you care so much about her appearance? Maybe it's an infectious disease? That's not right, then The people he served close to him must also fall."
Xue Yunzhou guessed for a long time to no avail, and finally said "hehe" twice, and said with emotion: "This emperor deserves to be... going to die of aggrieved."
He Yuan pondered for a moment, then wrote a condolence letter to the emperor, and told Song Quan: "Ask someone to go to the warehouse to pick out some precious medicinal materials, and send this letter to the capital. In addition, inquire about the life of the queen mother, the more detailed the more good."
Song Quan took the letter: "Yes."
It didn't take much time to inquire about the life of the Empress Dowager, because the background of the Empress Dowager was too simple. That's why he received the attention of the late emperor in the palace. However, the expansion of the late emperor's harem was only a kindness to him overnight. Unexpectedly, his "fate was good" and he was pregnant with a dragon son. Crazy with joy, he directly praised him to the sky, and even let him take charge of the Phoenix seal immediately after the queen returned to the west. Since then, no one in the harem has been able to match him.
He Yuan carefully studied his words, deeds, and various deeds before and after entering the palace. The only suspicious thing is that the late emperor's empress died so strangely that she died suddenly, and she died suddenly when he was in favor. This incident is too coincidental. , or he was confident, or someone else wanted to blame him, no matter what, the first emperor did not pursue it, which shows that his position at that time was completely unshakable.
As the father of two children, He Yuan could understand the late emperor's feelings. He finally hoped for a son who could inherit the country, so he couldn't care about other things, but he didn't know that if the late emperor found out that he was cuckolded, Would he be so angry that he would cheat the corpse and run out from the imperial mausoleum?
If the fact that Xue Chong said that the little emperor was his son was true, then the queen mother had hidden it too deeply. He Yuan never found out from the information that the two of them had an intersection before.
The empress dowager hides so deeply because she just wants to cover up his ambition. As a man, don't talk about how he was before entering the palace, just hear and see every day in the palace, how could he not have any ambition?Looking through the archives of this dynasty, since the founding of the country, only the emperor Taizu appointed a male queen and left the Sangong and Sixth Court empty. After that, no emperor in the past has such confidence, courage and courage, let alone a male queen, he is right. Male concubines also have limited favors. It can be seen that it is very dangerous for the emperor to favor male concubines. Generations of emperors have been on guard against this unwritten practice.
The queen mother is very good at seizing opportunities and creating opportunities, but I don't know if his illness is real or fake this time, and if he is pretending to be sick, what exactly is he trying to do.
He Yuan closed the file in his hand: "Keep an eye on the palace, and don't let go of any disturbance."
"Wait, wait—" Xue Yunzhou snatched the file from him, turned to the part of Emperor Taizu, looked at it with interest for a while, then leaned into He Yuan's ear and whispered, "Emperor Taizu didn't have three Wives and concubines, do you think he is also a modern person?"
He Yuan glanced at him: "Then there is still room for you and me to play?"
Xue Yunzhou coughed lightly and rubbed his nose: "Don't look at me like an ass! A wise man is bound to make mistakes."
He Yuan was amused by him, and stretched out his hands to pinch his face: "Your face is quite big."
Xue Yunzhou: "..."
After all, the queen mother was far away in the capital, and some things were unpredictable, so they had to wait and see what happened. Then the two put aside the affairs of the capital for the time being, and began to discuss the specific matters of opening the school.
There are modern examples to refer to. The administrative system is not a problem, but it is a bit troublesome when it comes to the curriculum. After all, the ancient people generally did not travel far. Because of geographical restrictions, all local dialects are spoken everywhere. Although there are official languages, But it is not popular in remote areas, and Xue Yunzhou still has to work hard to apply the modern Chinese pinyin to the ancient language system.
The establishment of a school has been questioned by many officials below. They feel that this kind of thing is completely unnecessary. In the eyes of the ancients, reading and literacy is for the purpose of career, and it is too late for farmers to farm. Why learn these useless things? ?What's more, officials like the so-called pinyin don't understand it themselves, and they don't know much about the difference between schools and private schools.
However, from the perspective of modern people, the popularization of knowledge is too important, and the effect may not be visible in the short term, but in the long run, once the common people learn to think, there will be more and more people in the future. The technological progress and cultural progress will eventually promote social development step by step.
The ignorance of the people is indeed convenient for those in power to rule, but it hardly promotes social development. Thousands of years of feudal rule are similar, all because knowledge is in the hands of a few people, and these people are all focused on official careers, which have no effect on social production. any contribution.
The promotion of Mandarin is for the popularization of knowledge in the future. The advantages of pinyin are obvious. Older people really don’t have the time and energy to learn. It will be much more convenient to add pinyin annotations, and then need to distribute a brochure or something later.
Xue Yunzhou weighed for a long time whether to integrate Pinyin into Qingzhou's local dialect or directly promote Mandarin in Qingzhou. Considering his man's ambition, he finally decided to promote Mandarin.
There is a big difference between ancient Mandarin and modern Mandarin. Fortunately, Xue Yunzhou has already lit up his language skills. It is not a problem to be an ancient and modern translator. After a period of desk work, he finally localized the Chinese pinyin , checked with He Yuan again, and made some adjustments.
When this system was completely finalized, Xue Yunzhou held the finished product and took three deep breaths, rubbed his chest and looked at He Yuan in distress: "What should I do if I am about to explode with pride?"
He Yuan was inexplicable: "Huh?"
"Although I know that I am standing on the shoulders of giants, I still feel that I am great. I have a sense of accomplishment that I am a pioneer of this era. I am extremely proud and excited. If I had a heart attack, I would probably die by now." gone."
"..." He Yuan looked at him speechlessly, "We are the pioneers of this era, did you realize that?"
Xue Yunzhou looked at him for a long while, then lay down on the table unrequitedly: "Okay, okay, my realm is not as good as yours."
He Yuan patted his head, not knowing how to comfort him, so he pinched his chin and lifted his face, and kissed him on the lips.
Xue Yunzhou couldn't bear to be teased, so he quickly raised his hand to hook his neck, and kissed him proactively.
The two were discussing things in a serious manner, and finally rolled onto the bed inexplicably. It was still broad daylight, and because of their prostitution in the daytime, several groups of officials who came to ask for an interview had already been blocked from the door , All of a sudden, the inside was full of spring, and the bored waiters outside had a tea party and chatted about the gossip of Yan Wang and his wife.
Afterwards, He Yuan was rarely embarrassed, and emphasized in a low voice with a hoarse voice: "The next time we discuss things, we won't be in the study at home. Let's go to the meeting hall in front, so that you won't mess around again."
Xue Yunzhou lay on his chest with a satisfied face, kissed left and right, and excused himself with a playful smile: "Where did I mess around, I really have nowhere to release my pride, so I have to find you to solve it..."
He Yuan suddenly had black lines all over his head, and blue veins protruded from his forehead. For the first time, he had the urge to make him die on the bed. He looked at him almost to eat him alive, and asked each word in a biting tone: "Just, okay, what are you looking for?" , I, solution, solution?"
Xue Yunzhou paused, and belatedly realized that the surrounding air pressure was a bit low, so he quickly raised his face and stared innocently: "What?"
He Yuanming knew that he was always talking nonsense, but he was still so angry: "What do you think of me?"
Xue Yunzhou quickly raised a palm, and said with a very serious face: "Husband! It is definitely a husband! The Ming matchmaker is marrying! It is legal!" He said without waiting for his reaction, and quickly lowered his head and kissed him resoundingly on the lips.
He was originally sitting on He Yuan's abdomen, but when he bent down like this, and then moved inadvertently, his bare buttocks slid directly to He Yuan's key parts. He Yuan took a deep breath, frowning and forcibly endured it.
Xue Yunzhou took a peek at him, thinking that he was really angry, and quickly kissed him on the lips, trying to divert his attention.
As a result, the attention was successfully diverted, and He Yuan quickly pressed him under him, changing from passive to active.
The two went on for a while, the officials outside looked at the sky, put down their tea bowls and headed back home, gossip again after returning.
Now Yan Wang and his wife have become a model couple in Qingzhou, as if they are synonymous with "love", and because they are very close to the people, so now people in Qingzhou respect them more, less fear, and occasionally take the two of them It doesn't matter if you talk about it, almost everyone thinks that the reputation of the regent's brutality and bloodthirsty was purely the result of malicious rumors spread by malicious people. After all, seeing is believing and hearing is not believing.
The sky was dark, Xue Yunzhou opened his eyes in a daze, raised his head from He Yuan's arms, and looked at the moonlight shining in from outside: "How long have I been asleep?"
He Yuan's mood improved a lot, and he patted his head: "It won't be long, I'll sleep again when I'm tired."
Xue Yunzhou rubbed his throat, frowned and muttered: "My voice is hoarse."
He Yuan quickly got up and touched his forehead: "Does it hurt? You don't have a fever. I'll pour you some water."
"Yeah." Xue Yunzhou lay powerlessly on the bed, watching He Yuan get off the bed in a hurry to light the lamp and pour water, couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, his eyes followed his figure all the time.
He Yuan came over with water and helped him up. Looking at the light, he saw that his body was stained with marks all over his body. For a moment, he regretted his impulsiveness just now. Seeing that he drank it up after a few gulps, he hurriedly asked: "What more?" You pour some?"
"Hmm...so thirsty..." Xue Yunzhou hugged his waist coquettishly, "sore throat..."
He Yuan looked at the faint tear stains in the corners of his eyes, and remembered how he cried tears under his body before, the muscles in his waist and abdomen tightened suddenly, took a deep breath, and pulled his hands away from the bed.
Xue Yunzhou drank several bowls of water before he felt his throat feel better, and then lay motionless on the bed, unable to even speak: "Second brother, you are not young, take it easy..."
He Yuan's face turned dark again when he was suddenly poked at the sore spot.
Xue Yunzhou closed his eyes and continued: "Indulging in lust hurts your body..."
He Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and squeezed his chin: "You talk nonsense, I really want to make you unable to get out of bed."
Xue Yunzhou held the finger on his chin, lowered his head and kissed him: "Don't make excuses for yourself, why do you want to indulge yourself on me, I have always been this virtuous, and I have never seen you do anything to me before."
He Yuan: "..."
Xue Yunzhou opened one eye and looked at him: "You won't be hit by what I said, right? You used to..."
He Yuan looked at him with a bottomless gaze: "In the past, every time you talked cheaply, I could only be stricter with you."
Xue Yunzhou realized the subtext, his face became hot for no reason, he lowered his eyes and curled his mouth and muttered: "Men Sao."
"..." He Yuan forcibly changed the subject, "Are you hungry? Shall I ask someone to bring in the food?"
Xue Yunzhou hugged his waist again, and coquettishly smiled: "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, King Yan is a big obscene, inhuman..."
He Yuan looked down at his skinless face, wanted to laugh at the same time, and raised his hand to knock him, but he couldn't help showing a smile in his eyes.
On the second day, He Yuan put the specific regulations for the establishment of the school in the small court for the last confirmation. After all, the officials below have seen the development of the past year, and subconsciously expect each of He Yuan's decrees. So although he couldn't understand it this time, he still carried out his order well.
After that, the whole Qingzhou fell into a strange madness.
The common people heard that anyone, no matter what their status, can go to school without spending money. At first they thought it was a joke, but after seeing the notice with their own eyes and hearing the explanation with their own mouths, they finally believed the truth of the matter, feeling a little poor Some people were so excited that they hugged each other and cried in the street.
Studying has been a luxury since ancient times. To cultivate a scholar in the family will not only reduce the labor force of a young man, but also cost a lot of silver, not to mention how hard it is to train a scholar. Qingzhou is remote and desolate. The common people dare not even yearn for reading. They did not expect that since the king of Yan returned to the vassal, one after another big pies would fall from the sky.
Of course, the notice also made it clear that only basic education is provided for free, that is, it is responsible for making everyone literate. If you want to learn more in depth later, you need to pay tuition fees. Compared with traditional private schools, the tuition fees are much less. However, for the people whose living conditions have only been improved recently, it is still a high consumption. The simple people are very grateful for this and have no complaints at all. As soon as they go back, they publicize this new policy everywhere, and the whole Qingzhou is boiling for a while.
After that, Qingzhou entered the stage of learning for all. Xue Yunzhou was so busy that he wanted to turn himself into a monkey grandson, and pull out a monkey hair to become thousands of monkeys. Unfortunately, he could only think about it. Fortunately, after the initial hectic, he gradually accumulated With some experience, plus not having to do everything by myself later, it is finally a lot more leisurely.
At this stage, He Yuan has been paying attention to the movement of the capital, but the strange thing is that the capital is calm and calm, and the queen mother has never shown her face since she fell ill. The emperor may be affected by the conflict between being a son and a king, and his mood is a little cloudy. He loses his temper at every turn, but at the same time he cheers up and sorts out the government affairs, trying to take back the country that should be in his own hands.
In addition, since King Jin was taken to the capital, he has been treating patients continuously, but he has not woken up so far. Now that the government affairs of Ningzhou have been handed over to King Jin's eldest son, who is only ten years old, there will be no disturbances for the time being.
These news were of no particular value, so He Yuan let go of half of his heart, and put his main energy back to Qingzhou again.
At this time, Qingzhou had already accepted many refugees. In order to accommodate these refugees, the outer city of Qingzhou City underwent a large-scale expansion, half of which was used to house these refugees, and the other half was used to build a commercial center. Obviously, the layout inside is in good order.
With the addition of refugees, the population of Qingzhou has doubled, and there are land reclamation, road construction, and consumption. Yanwang Mansion spent a lot of money in the early stage, and it gradually filled it up through taxes later.
Today's Qingzhou can be described as changing with each passing day, and there is vitality everywhere at first glance, but after wandering around Heyuan City, I still feel that there is something missing. After thinking about it after going back, I finally realized where the shortcomings are.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, in ancient times, were graded, but in the eyes of modern people, they are different social divisions of labor.
There are not many entangled aristocratic families in Qingzhou. It is much easier to manage than in the capital. The proportion of gentry in Qingzhou is very small. He Yuan does not intend to spend time on them for the time being. However, after a series of reforms, agriculture has improved. Improvements have also been made, and finally only industry remains.
Xue Yunzhou returned to the palace at night, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw He Yuan sitting on the grand teacher's chair, crossing his two long legs and crossing his fingers, looking thoughtful, he couldn't help laughing, walked behind him and gave a stern look. Fluttering, hooking his neck and teasingly said: "Hey, if people outside see your posture, your jaw will drop in shock."
He Yuan raised his head and kissed him on the chin very relaxedly, raised a hand to touch his face: "I will pay attention outside."
The sitting posture of the original regent has always been a warrior-style big horse sword. Although He Yuan has always adhered to his own style of handling things, he has deliberately studied the original regent in some small habits and details. After all, there are so many people under his command. People, the behavior style changes drastically, it can be said that the temperament or sudden whimsy, if even the words and deeds are completely different, the people below are not fools, how many people will doubt his identity by then, and how many people will continue to listen to him Dispatch, he really didn't dare to gamble.
Compared with his carefulness, Xue Yunzhou is much happier when his heartless nature is exposed.
Xue Yunzhou felt sorry for him, and he began to squeeze his shoulders and beat his back after teasing him. This is a habit that the two started after they confessed their feelings in the capital, and it has continued until now.
He Yuan leaned on him with his head up, with a smile in his eyes: "You are just as obedient as a little daughter-in-law at this time."
Xue Yunzhou raised his orchid finger, blinked wildly and winked at him: "Husband, is it comfortable for me to serve you?"
"Cough—" He Yuan was suddenly startled by his appearance, and choked on his own saliva.
Xue Yunzhou laughed and patted him on the back: "What were you thinking just now, so engrossed?"
He Yuan calmed down after taking a sip of tea: "I'm thinking about the family workshops in ancient society and the large factories in modern society."
"Huh?" Xue Yunzhou couldn't turn his mind for a while, and leaned on his shoulder to look at him sideways, "What and what?"
As soon as He Yuan looked up, he saw his extremely soft face under the candlelight, and couldn't help but kissed him on the face: "I'm thinking about intellectual property rights, technology patents, and how to make the craftsmen here shine. , to make a greater contribution to society.”
Xue Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized: "Oh...you want to set up a factory, but you don't have the technology, and people with skills are unwilling to come up with their own technology."
"Yes." He Yuan rubbed his forehead, "The ancient artisans attached great importance to skills, almost all of which were passed down from family or master, which led to the slow development of their skills, and they could only open a small scale. own workshops, support their families, and their contribution to society is really limited.”
Xue Yunzhou blinked, thoughtfully: "So, I, the principal of a comprehensive university, will soon be... the principal of Lanxiang Technical School?"
He Yuan froze for a moment before catching up with his out-of-the-ordinary thinking, dumbfounded: "Are you addicted to being the principal?" After finishing speaking, he paused, then quickly fell into deep thought, "This idea is not bad."
The next day, He Yuan was discussing with the officials in the small court hall, and at the end of the discussion, he suddenly proposed: "This king intends to add some new officials."
"Official position? This is a good thing! A good thing!" The officials were excited and gearing up, guessing what "wonderful idea" King Yan would come up with, while secretly planning to recommend their own contacts to fill the so-called new office.
He Yuan observed everyone's expressions, and slowly said: "This new official position is specially set up for craftsmen, and it will be held by highly skilled craftsmen. The incumbent will enjoy the salary issued by the Yan Palace like other officials."
"..." All the officials dropped their jaws in shock.
He Yuan continued: "The new official position has another system, which is divided into levels according to the types of skills and skill proficiency of craftsmen."
All the officials silently picked up their chins, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly exploded.
"How is this possible? How can a craftsman be an official? Have they experienced ten years of hard study? Have they experienced inhumane imperial examinations? Have they gained fame?"
"My lord, this is so nonsense! How can a craftsman stand with a scholar? What can we talk about? Nothing to say!"
"This won't work, my lord. The craftsmen have come to be officials, so whoever forges the iron, who makes the porcelain, and who builds the cars? This is going to be messed up!"
"My lord, this matter should be carefully considered. Although your previous idea did benefit one party, it is really unbelievable to let craftsmen be officials. Let their group of people who don't understand government affairs come and point fingers at random. It's hard for us!"
He Yuan listened carefully to every sentence, and finally raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and said flatly: "This is just an honorary official position, and they don't need to manage specific affairs."
The officials were at a loss and thought to themselves: Don't work?Salary for nothing?
He Yuan could almost guess what they were thinking, and slightly curled the corners of his lips: "Officials are not free, and salaries are not free, the only thing they need to do is to contribute the skills they have mastered, and serve as teachers." job, open lectures in schools."
The people below silently understood the meaning of his words, and exploded again. This time, they were not excited, but found it inconceivable.
"Can this work? No one would like it?"
"If someone really comes, will they be beaten to death by other members of the family or division?"
He Yuan said indifferently: "How to implement this plan smoothly requires all of you to work together."
One sentence instantly blocked everyone's mouths.
"You guys discuss it first, and think about it after you go back." He Yuan left without saying a word, leaving a group of officials stunned.
This matter has been brewing in the small court for a long time, and fewer and fewer people oppose it. Everyone seems to be gradually looking forward to the changes that this new measure will bring. Later, a group of officials cooperated with He Yuan to refine the measures, and finally The New Deal was promulgated.
The notice posted this time is very different from the past. Each line is marked with pinyin, and the people standing next to it no longer read it word by word. They only explain aloud when everyone has questions. Everyone squeezed to look forward, and each of them read out slowly referring to the pinyin with great interest.
Because everyone wanted to go forward and read it again, Yan Wangfu quickly sent people to post a few more notices, and at the same time distributed the prepared leaflets to the hands of the people.
This kind of propaganda method that is disgusting in the modern bad streets is very effective in ancient times, especially in places like Qingzhou where the learning atmosphere is strong. Everyone can’t wait to ask for the flyers when they see it. After returning home, the whole family will read it. After reading and reading, families with children urged their children to learn to write according to the leaflets with branches on the ground. Such a leaflet has become a valuable asset for ordinary people who do not have any pens, inks and books at home.
This result made He Yuan a little surprised. When he first came to this world, he looked on indifferently and even looked down. After having Xue Yunzhou and his children, he became concerned. Now looking at these simple people, he felt a little fond of them. For the first time Back to really want to change the world from the bottom of my heart.
The notice was posted, although the whole city was discussing it, but no craftsman came to apply for it. According to the report of the spies, many craftsmen have come up with ideas these days, but the rules of the family or the teacher are there. The first sign of this is a burst of internal debate.
He Yuan waited patiently for several days, and finally got the first person to eat crabs.
However, this first applicant disappointed He Yuan a little. This person is a weaver of baskets, but the baskets he weaves are not only practical but practical, and can be done with a little dexterity, and many families weave their own baskets. There is no need to buy it at all, it is really difficult for this person's skills to shine.
He was not disappointed when he was rejected, he rubbed his hands and said cautiously: "I... I'm actually here to find out the truth... If the school really needs weaving baskets... Sir, my grandfather can come and try, he The woven baskets are very beautiful, and you can weave any color you want."
He still has some difficulty accepting the term "teacher" for the time being, and still habitually calls it "Mr."
The person who received him nodded: "You can ask your grandfather to come and try, but...how is he?"
The man nodded again and again: "The body is very strong, and he can still farm the land!"
On the second day, the man came with his grandfather. After a lot of consideration, the newly made basket was sent to He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou. After studying for a while, the old man came up with a problem: The embroidered pattern drawn by Mr. Shi is not complicated, but it is definitely not simple for weaving baskets.
They thought they would confuse the old man. After all, no matter how fine the basket weaving is, it is not as fine as embroidery. But they didn’t expect the old man to go back and study for a few days, and he actually made it. Although the pattern on it is not as fine as the flower, it is still enough. It's vivid.
Xue Yunzhou slapped the table: "The master is among the people! He's the one!"
As a result, "Yunzhou Technical School" recruited the No.1 technical teacher, and a name was added to the list of official positions in Yanwangfu: Zhao Sanxi.
The next step is to recruit students for this major. Considering that there are many people with handicapped legs and feet among the refugees, one point is particularly emphasized in the admissions announcement: priority is given to accepting applications from disabled people, and tuition fees will be reduced or exempted depending on the situation.
Those ordinary people with handicapped legs and feet have no education and cannot work. They have almost become a burden on the family. The vulnerable people even suffer from depression. They were all overjoyed, and immediately brought people to sign up.
The "Baokung Major" class will start soon. The name of the major sounds funny, but seeing those disabled people who are serious about class with their eyes and ears pricked up, no one can be moved.
Zhao Sanxi's appointment as an official and the opening of the Luokung major caused a sensation in the city, and more craftsmen were ready to move. While testing and selecting these craftsmen, the Yanwang Mansion began to arrange for the establishment of the Luokung factory.
Naturally, this factory cannot be compared with the scale of a modern factory. It is still a manual workshop in essence, but because of the businessman's operation and the connection between the south and the north, this workshop is much larger and more professional than the family workshop.
Merchants are born with a keen sense of smell, and they hardly need to be mobilized by the Palace of Yan. As early as when the new policy of "craftsmen as officials" was first put on the table, some businessmen were eyeing the potential business opportunities and greeted the Palace of Yan Afterwards, a batch of novel samples were obtained, and they quickly put into preparation work. After those students graduated with certificates, ready-made factories and established sales outlets were waiting for them.
The graduates were so excited that they kowtowed to Zhao Sanxi and Yan Wangfu to thank them. They have only learned a little bit, but they can already support themselves. After graduation, they will continue to ask Zhao Sanxi for advice. In the future, their skills will become more and more sophisticated. The days will get better and better.
As soon as the factory started construction, Zhao Sanxi also served as a technical consultant. After the first batch of finished products were sold, he was also so excited that he burst into tears, crying with the dividends. Before, weaving baskets was nothing more than the people around us who couldn’t weave. Buy it back and use it. No one cares about the patterns on it. He made up those patterns just for his own entertainment. He never thought that there would be such a rich return one day.
In order to encourage these fruit growers, the Prince Yan Mansion specially distributed subsidies to them in the first year. This unprecedented good thing made the fruit growers enthusiastic and encouraged them to work hard on growing melons and fruits. Facts have proved that Qingzhou is indeed particularly suitable for growing melons and fruits. Here there is plenty of sunshine and little rain, and the melons and fruits produced are much sweeter and more delicious than those in other places. After being transported to the south of the Yangtze River through the official organization of Yanwang Mansion, they quickly won the favor of wealthy families who pursue enjoyment without special publicity.
This was completely within the expectations of He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou, so they forced the price of melons and fruits to be higher from the beginning. Some fruit farmers were worried that they would not be able to sell them, but now they see that the fruits grown in their fields have become Jiangnan. The high-priced delicacy sought after by the wealthy households are all so happy that they can't see their teeth.
With the first success, the Yan Palace did not intervene in the subsequent matters. He Yuan handed over the full authority of these north-south business contacts to the merchants in Qingzhou, and the Palace only grasped the general direction and carried out macro-control at critical moments.
With the participation of merchants, Qingzhou melons and fruits soon became famous all over the country. Even in the capital, there were exaggerated scenes of Qingzhou melons and fruits being scrambled by tens of thousands of people.
With the reputation of "Qingzhou Melons and Fruits", the life of Qingzhou fruit farmers suddenly became more nourishing. The food that had been planted for a whole year with the yellow mud and back turned to the sky was only enough to eat, but now it can be easily earned. With enough silver for three years of daily expenses, these honest and responsible ancient people also experienced the luxury of buying rice with silver, and the rice they bought in Jiangnan was many times more delicious than the rice they grew in Qingzhou. , Such a life is simply a fairy life for ordinary people who are not demanding.
The people in Qingzhou have money, and naturally every household is happy. Now whoever says that King Yan is not a thing, they will probably be drowned by their spittle.
However, the ones who are most grateful to King Yan's Mansion are probably the businessmen in Qingzhou. Since ancient times, agriculture has been valued over business. Although businessmen are rich, they are inferior to others when they go out. Reform, many decrees issued are beneficial to businessmen, and in actual operation, many restrictions have been relaxed on businessmen, and Yan Wang and his wife also visited the chamber of commerce in person, expressing great goodwill and attention to Qingzhou businessmen, which made many The old businessman, who had seen all the world, was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
The people were grateful to the Yan Palace, and the subsequent government orders were naturally implemented very smoothly. Almost every time a notice was posted, it would attract crowds and discussions from the whole city. Because many people were illiterate, the Yan Palace specially arranged for people to stand by patiently Explain and even answer questions.
These changes only took a year. When the government decree was issued last time, Xue Yunzhou went to the gate of the city to look at the people watching the notice. After returning, he began to think about running a school.
He had had this idea when he was in Yushan, but at that time their foundation was not stable, and they were facing a group of refugees who didn't know if they would stay in Qingzhou, so they didn't take this plan to heart. Now Yanwangfu is in Qingzhou Having established absolute prestige, it seems that the time is ripe, and the plan for running a school can be put forward.
He told He Yuan about his plan: "I will become a teacher, teach Pinyin, promote Mandarin, popularize it for all people, regardless of gender, age or age, how about it?"
He Yuan looked at him silently, and in his mind he could almost imagine the scene of thousands of people emptying out after hearing that Princess Yan taught in person. Although this made him a little unhappy, there was no better way at present, and Xue Yunzhou was a man after all, so he put Hyundai should also have its own business, and he has no reason to stop it.
"Is it okay, second brother?"
He Yuan: "..."
Everyone understands the truth, but he is still not very happy.
Xue Yunzhou leaned close to his nose and blinked at him: "Husband?"
He Yuan: "..."
Xue Yunzhou laughed: "What's the matter with you?"
He Yuan compromised: "Yes, but... you only teach for one term, and let your students teach later, and pick out some who have achieved success in their studies and train them to be teachers."
Xue Yunzhou vaguely saw that he seemed to be a little bit jealous, and he wanted to fly up in his heart, but his face was serious: "Oh, don't worry! I don't have that much time, and I don't have the patience to be a teacher. It's not that I don't have the patience There is a way!"
He Yuan's expression remained unchanged: "Yes."
Xue Yunzhou immediately ran to the back of the desk and picked up a brush: "Come on, let's make a plan."
Just as He Yuan was about to follow him, Song Quan begged to see him outside.
What Song Quan brought was news from Beijing: "The Empress Dowager has fallen ill. It is said that she is very ill. She can't see anyone. Even the emperor was stopped when she wanted to serve her sick."
He Yuan was really surprised this time, he twitched his brows, thinking: "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. The empress dowager's defense is very tight. Our people can't find out the news, and even the imperial doctor keeps secret." Song Quan looked guilty. He Yuan's trust.
He Yuan didn't mean to blame anything, after all, the imperial palace was no different than other places, and it was inevitable that they couldn't be monitored. He just felt that the queen mother fell ill too suddenly, without any warning before.
Xue Yunzhou couldn't help being surprised: "The emperor can be stopped? By whom?"
Song Quandao: "The queen mother's confidant eunuch is said to be acting on orders, and the queen mother must have explained it before."
"I don't even see my own son... so hard that the queen mother is disfigured?" Xue Yunzhou guessed, and quickly shook his head, "No, the queen mother is a man, why do you care so much about her appearance? Maybe it's an infectious disease? That's not right, then The people he served close to him must also fall."
Xue Yunzhou guessed for a long time to no avail, and finally said "hehe" twice, and said with emotion: "This emperor deserves to be... going to die of aggrieved."
He Yuan pondered for a moment, then wrote a condolence letter to the emperor, and told Song Quan: "Ask someone to go to the warehouse to pick out some precious medicinal materials, and send this letter to the capital. In addition, inquire about the life of the queen mother, the more detailed the more good."
Song Quan took the letter: "Yes."
It didn't take much time to inquire about the life of the Empress Dowager, because the background of the Empress Dowager was too simple. That's why he received the attention of the late emperor in the palace. However, the expansion of the late emperor's harem was only a kindness to him overnight. Unexpectedly, his "fate was good" and he was pregnant with a dragon son. Crazy with joy, he directly praised him to the sky, and even let him take charge of the Phoenix seal immediately after the queen returned to the west. Since then, no one in the harem has been able to match him.
He Yuan carefully studied his words, deeds, and various deeds before and after entering the palace. The only suspicious thing is that the late emperor's empress died so strangely that she died suddenly, and she died suddenly when he was in favor. This incident is too coincidental. , or he was confident, or someone else wanted to blame him, no matter what, the first emperor did not pursue it, which shows that his position at that time was completely unshakable.
As the father of two children, He Yuan could understand the late emperor's feelings. He finally hoped for a son who could inherit the country, so he couldn't care about other things, but he didn't know that if the late emperor found out that he was cuckolded, Would he be so angry that he would cheat the corpse and run out from the imperial mausoleum?
If the fact that Xue Chong said that the little emperor was his son was true, then the queen mother had hidden it too deeply. He Yuan never found out from the information that the two of them had an intersection before.
The empress dowager hides so deeply because she just wants to cover up his ambition. As a man, don't talk about how he was before entering the palace, just hear and see every day in the palace, how could he not have any ambition?Looking through the archives of this dynasty, since the founding of the country, only the emperor Taizu appointed a male queen and left the Sangong and Sixth Court empty. After that, no emperor in the past has such confidence, courage and courage, let alone a male queen, he is right. Male concubines also have limited favors. It can be seen that it is very dangerous for the emperor to favor male concubines. Generations of emperors have been on guard against this unwritten practice.
The queen mother is very good at seizing opportunities and creating opportunities, but I don't know if his illness is real or fake this time, and if he is pretending to be sick, what exactly is he trying to do.
He Yuan closed the file in his hand: "Keep an eye on the palace, and don't let go of any disturbance."
"Wait, wait—" Xue Yunzhou snatched the file from him, turned to the part of Emperor Taizu, looked at it with interest for a while, then leaned into He Yuan's ear and whispered, "Emperor Taizu didn't have three Wives and concubines, do you think he is also a modern person?"
He Yuan glanced at him: "Then there is still room for you and me to play?"
Xue Yunzhou coughed lightly and rubbed his nose: "Don't look at me like an ass! A wise man is bound to make mistakes."
He Yuan was amused by him, and stretched out his hands to pinch his face: "Your face is quite big."
Xue Yunzhou: "..."
After all, the queen mother was far away in the capital, and some things were unpredictable, so they had to wait and see what happened. Then the two put aside the affairs of the capital for the time being, and began to discuss the specific matters of opening the school.
There are modern examples to refer to. The administrative system is not a problem, but it is a bit troublesome when it comes to the curriculum. After all, the ancient people generally did not travel far. Because of geographical restrictions, all local dialects are spoken everywhere. Although there are official languages, But it is not popular in remote areas, and Xue Yunzhou still has to work hard to apply the modern Chinese pinyin to the ancient language system.
The establishment of a school has been questioned by many officials below. They feel that this kind of thing is completely unnecessary. In the eyes of the ancients, reading and literacy is for the purpose of career, and it is too late for farmers to farm. Why learn these useless things? ?What's more, officials like the so-called pinyin don't understand it themselves, and they don't know much about the difference between schools and private schools.
However, from the perspective of modern people, the popularization of knowledge is too important, and the effect may not be visible in the short term, but in the long run, once the common people learn to think, there will be more and more people in the future. The technological progress and cultural progress will eventually promote social development step by step.
The ignorance of the people is indeed convenient for those in power to rule, but it hardly promotes social development. Thousands of years of feudal rule are similar, all because knowledge is in the hands of a few people, and these people are all focused on official careers, which have no effect on social production. any contribution.
The promotion of Mandarin is for the popularization of knowledge in the future. The advantages of pinyin are obvious. Older people really don’t have the time and energy to learn. It will be much more convenient to add pinyin annotations, and then need to distribute a brochure or something later.
Xue Yunzhou weighed for a long time whether to integrate Pinyin into Qingzhou's local dialect or directly promote Mandarin in Qingzhou. Considering his man's ambition, he finally decided to promote Mandarin.
There is a big difference between ancient Mandarin and modern Mandarin. Fortunately, Xue Yunzhou has already lit up his language skills. It is not a problem to be an ancient and modern translator. After a period of desk work, he finally localized the Chinese pinyin , checked with He Yuan again, and made some adjustments.
When this system was completely finalized, Xue Yunzhou held the finished product and took three deep breaths, rubbed his chest and looked at He Yuan in distress: "What should I do if I am about to explode with pride?"
He Yuan was inexplicable: "Huh?"
"Although I know that I am standing on the shoulders of giants, I still feel that I am great. I have a sense of accomplishment that I am a pioneer of this era. I am extremely proud and excited. If I had a heart attack, I would probably die by now." gone."
"..." He Yuan looked at him speechlessly, "We are the pioneers of this era, did you realize that?"
Xue Yunzhou looked at him for a long while, then lay down on the table unrequitedly: "Okay, okay, my realm is not as good as yours."
He Yuan patted his head, not knowing how to comfort him, so he pinched his chin and lifted his face, and kissed him on the lips.
Xue Yunzhou couldn't bear to be teased, so he quickly raised his hand to hook his neck, and kissed him proactively.
The two were discussing things in a serious manner, and finally rolled onto the bed inexplicably. It was still broad daylight, and because of their prostitution in the daytime, several groups of officials who came to ask for an interview had already been blocked from the door , All of a sudden, the inside was full of spring, and the bored waiters outside had a tea party and chatted about the gossip of Yan Wang and his wife.
Afterwards, He Yuan was rarely embarrassed, and emphasized in a low voice with a hoarse voice: "The next time we discuss things, we won't be in the study at home. Let's go to the meeting hall in front, so that you won't mess around again."
Xue Yunzhou lay on his chest with a satisfied face, kissed left and right, and excused himself with a playful smile: "Where did I mess around, I really have nowhere to release my pride, so I have to find you to solve it..."
He Yuan suddenly had black lines all over his head, and blue veins protruded from his forehead. For the first time, he had the urge to make him die on the bed. He looked at him almost to eat him alive, and asked each word in a biting tone: "Just, okay, what are you looking for?" , I, solution, solution?"
Xue Yunzhou paused, and belatedly realized that the surrounding air pressure was a bit low, so he quickly raised his face and stared innocently: "What?"
He Yuanming knew that he was always talking nonsense, but he was still so angry: "What do you think of me?"
Xue Yunzhou quickly raised a palm, and said with a very serious face: "Husband! It is definitely a husband! The Ming matchmaker is marrying! It is legal!" He said without waiting for his reaction, and quickly lowered his head and kissed him resoundingly on the lips.
He was originally sitting on He Yuan's abdomen, but when he bent down like this, and then moved inadvertently, his bare buttocks slid directly to He Yuan's key parts. He Yuan took a deep breath, frowning and forcibly endured it.
Xue Yunzhou took a peek at him, thinking that he was really angry, and quickly kissed him on the lips, trying to divert his attention.
As a result, the attention was successfully diverted, and He Yuan quickly pressed him under him, changing from passive to active.
The two went on for a while, the officials outside looked at the sky, put down their tea bowls and headed back home, gossip again after returning.
Now Yan Wang and his wife have become a model couple in Qingzhou, as if they are synonymous with "love", and because they are very close to the people, so now people in Qingzhou respect them more, less fear, and occasionally take the two of them It doesn't matter if you talk about it, almost everyone thinks that the reputation of the regent's brutality and bloodthirsty was purely the result of malicious rumors spread by malicious people. After all, seeing is believing and hearing is not believing.
The sky was dark, Xue Yunzhou opened his eyes in a daze, raised his head from He Yuan's arms, and looked at the moonlight shining in from outside: "How long have I been asleep?"
He Yuan's mood improved a lot, and he patted his head: "It won't be long, I'll sleep again when I'm tired."
Xue Yunzhou rubbed his throat, frowned and muttered: "My voice is hoarse."
He Yuan quickly got up and touched his forehead: "Does it hurt? You don't have a fever. I'll pour you some water."
"Yeah." Xue Yunzhou lay powerlessly on the bed, watching He Yuan get off the bed in a hurry to light the lamp and pour water, couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, his eyes followed his figure all the time.
He Yuan came over with water and helped him up. Looking at the light, he saw that his body was stained with marks all over his body. For a moment, he regretted his impulsiveness just now. Seeing that he drank it up after a few gulps, he hurriedly asked: "What more?" You pour some?"
"Hmm...so thirsty..." Xue Yunzhou hugged his waist coquettishly, "sore throat..."
He Yuan looked at the faint tear stains in the corners of his eyes, and remembered how he cried tears under his body before, the muscles in his waist and abdomen tightened suddenly, took a deep breath, and pulled his hands away from the bed.
Xue Yunzhou drank several bowls of water before he felt his throat feel better, and then lay motionless on the bed, unable to even speak: "Second brother, you are not young, take it easy..."
He Yuan's face turned dark again when he was suddenly poked at the sore spot.
Xue Yunzhou closed his eyes and continued: "Indulging in lust hurts your body..."
He Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and squeezed his chin: "You talk nonsense, I really want to make you unable to get out of bed."
Xue Yunzhou held the finger on his chin, lowered his head and kissed him: "Don't make excuses for yourself, why do you want to indulge yourself on me, I have always been this virtuous, and I have never seen you do anything to me before."
He Yuan: "..."
Xue Yunzhou opened one eye and looked at him: "You won't be hit by what I said, right? You used to..."
He Yuan looked at him with a bottomless gaze: "In the past, every time you talked cheaply, I could only be stricter with you."
Xue Yunzhou realized the subtext, his face became hot for no reason, he lowered his eyes and curled his mouth and muttered: "Men Sao."
"..." He Yuan forcibly changed the subject, "Are you hungry? Shall I ask someone to bring in the food?"
Xue Yunzhou hugged his waist again, and coquettishly smiled: "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, King Yan is a big obscene, inhuman..."
He Yuan looked down at his skinless face, wanted to laugh at the same time, and raised his hand to knock him, but he couldn't help showing a smile in his eyes.
On the second day, He Yuan put the specific regulations for the establishment of the school in the small court for the last confirmation. After all, the officials below have seen the development of the past year, and subconsciously expect each of He Yuan's decrees. So although he couldn't understand it this time, he still carried out his order well.
After that, the whole Qingzhou fell into a strange madness.
The common people heard that anyone, no matter what their status, can go to school without spending money. At first they thought it was a joke, but after seeing the notice with their own eyes and hearing the explanation with their own mouths, they finally believed the truth of the matter, feeling a little poor Some people were so excited that they hugged each other and cried in the street.
Studying has been a luxury since ancient times. To cultivate a scholar in the family will not only reduce the labor force of a young man, but also cost a lot of silver, not to mention how hard it is to train a scholar. Qingzhou is remote and desolate. The common people dare not even yearn for reading. They did not expect that since the king of Yan returned to the vassal, one after another big pies would fall from the sky.
Of course, the notice also made it clear that only basic education is provided for free, that is, it is responsible for making everyone literate. If you want to learn more in depth later, you need to pay tuition fees. Compared with traditional private schools, the tuition fees are much less. However, for the people whose living conditions have only been improved recently, it is still a high consumption. The simple people are very grateful for this and have no complaints at all. As soon as they go back, they publicize this new policy everywhere, and the whole Qingzhou is boiling for a while.
After that, Qingzhou entered the stage of learning for all. Xue Yunzhou was so busy that he wanted to turn himself into a monkey grandson, and pull out a monkey hair to become thousands of monkeys. Unfortunately, he could only think about it. Fortunately, after the initial hectic, he gradually accumulated With some experience, plus not having to do everything by myself later, it is finally a lot more leisurely.
At this stage, He Yuan has been paying attention to the movement of the capital, but the strange thing is that the capital is calm and calm, and the queen mother has never shown her face since she fell ill. The emperor may be affected by the conflict between being a son and a king, and his mood is a little cloudy. He loses his temper at every turn, but at the same time he cheers up and sorts out the government affairs, trying to take back the country that should be in his own hands.
In addition, since King Jin was taken to the capital, he has been treating patients continuously, but he has not woken up so far. Now that the government affairs of Ningzhou have been handed over to King Jin's eldest son, who is only ten years old, there will be no disturbances for the time being.
These news were of no particular value, so He Yuan let go of half of his heart, and put his main energy back to Qingzhou again.
At this time, Qingzhou had already accepted many refugees. In order to accommodate these refugees, the outer city of Qingzhou City underwent a large-scale expansion, half of which was used to house these refugees, and the other half was used to build a commercial center. Obviously, the layout inside is in good order.
With the addition of refugees, the population of Qingzhou has doubled, and there are land reclamation, road construction, and consumption. Yanwang Mansion spent a lot of money in the early stage, and it gradually filled it up through taxes later.
Today's Qingzhou can be described as changing with each passing day, and there is vitality everywhere at first glance, but after wandering around Heyuan City, I still feel that there is something missing. After thinking about it after going back, I finally realized where the shortcomings are.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, in ancient times, were graded, but in the eyes of modern people, they are different social divisions of labor.
There are not many entangled aristocratic families in Qingzhou. It is much easier to manage than in the capital. The proportion of gentry in Qingzhou is very small. He Yuan does not intend to spend time on them for the time being. However, after a series of reforms, agriculture has improved. Improvements have also been made, and finally only industry remains.
Xue Yunzhou returned to the palace at night, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw He Yuan sitting on the grand teacher's chair, crossing his two long legs and crossing his fingers, looking thoughtful, he couldn't help laughing, walked behind him and gave a stern look. Fluttering, hooking his neck and teasingly said: "Hey, if people outside see your posture, your jaw will drop in shock."
He Yuan raised his head and kissed him on the chin very relaxedly, raised a hand to touch his face: "I will pay attention outside."
The sitting posture of the original regent has always been a warrior-style big horse sword. Although He Yuan has always adhered to his own style of handling things, he has deliberately studied the original regent in some small habits and details. After all, there are so many people under his command. People, the behavior style changes drastically, it can be said that the temperament or sudden whimsy, if even the words and deeds are completely different, the people below are not fools, how many people will doubt his identity by then, and how many people will continue to listen to him Dispatch, he really didn't dare to gamble.
Compared with his carefulness, Xue Yunzhou is much happier when his heartless nature is exposed.
Xue Yunzhou felt sorry for him, and he began to squeeze his shoulders and beat his back after teasing him. This is a habit that the two started after they confessed their feelings in the capital, and it has continued until now.
He Yuan leaned on him with his head up, with a smile in his eyes: "You are just as obedient as a little daughter-in-law at this time."
Xue Yunzhou raised his orchid finger, blinked wildly and winked at him: "Husband, is it comfortable for me to serve you?"
"Cough—" He Yuan was suddenly startled by his appearance, and choked on his own saliva.
Xue Yunzhou laughed and patted him on the back: "What were you thinking just now, so engrossed?"
He Yuan calmed down after taking a sip of tea: "I'm thinking about the family workshops in ancient society and the large factories in modern society."
"Huh?" Xue Yunzhou couldn't turn his mind for a while, and leaned on his shoulder to look at him sideways, "What and what?"
As soon as He Yuan looked up, he saw his extremely soft face under the candlelight, and couldn't help but kissed him on the face: "I'm thinking about intellectual property rights, technology patents, and how to make the craftsmen here shine. , to make a greater contribution to society.”
Xue Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, and suddenly realized: "Oh...you want to set up a factory, but you don't have the technology, and people with skills are unwilling to come up with their own technology."
"Yes." He Yuan rubbed his forehead, "The ancient artisans attached great importance to skills, almost all of which were passed down from family or master, which led to the slow development of their skills, and they could only open a small scale. own workshops, support their families, and their contribution to society is really limited.”
Xue Yunzhou blinked, thoughtfully: "So, I, the principal of a comprehensive university, will soon be... the principal of Lanxiang Technical School?"
He Yuan froze for a moment before catching up with his out-of-the-ordinary thinking, dumbfounded: "Are you addicted to being the principal?" After finishing speaking, he paused, then quickly fell into deep thought, "This idea is not bad."
The next day, He Yuan was discussing with the officials in the small court hall, and at the end of the discussion, he suddenly proposed: "This king intends to add some new officials."
"Official position? This is a good thing! A good thing!" The officials were excited and gearing up, guessing what "wonderful idea" King Yan would come up with, while secretly planning to recommend their own contacts to fill the so-called new office.
He Yuan observed everyone's expressions, and slowly said: "This new official position is specially set up for craftsmen, and it will be held by highly skilled craftsmen. The incumbent will enjoy the salary issued by the Yan Palace like other officials."
"..." All the officials dropped their jaws in shock.
He Yuan continued: "The new official position has another system, which is divided into levels according to the types of skills and skill proficiency of craftsmen."
All the officials silently picked up their chins, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly exploded.
"How is this possible? How can a craftsman be an official? Have they experienced ten years of hard study? Have they experienced inhumane imperial examinations? Have they gained fame?"
"My lord, this is so nonsense! How can a craftsman stand with a scholar? What can we talk about? Nothing to say!"
"This won't work, my lord. The craftsmen have come to be officials, so whoever forges the iron, who makes the porcelain, and who builds the cars? This is going to be messed up!"
"My lord, this matter should be carefully considered. Although your previous idea did benefit one party, it is really unbelievable to let craftsmen be officials. Let their group of people who don't understand government affairs come and point fingers at random. It's hard for us!"
He Yuan listened carefully to every sentence, and finally raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and said flatly: "This is just an honorary official position, and they don't need to manage specific affairs."
The officials were at a loss and thought to themselves: Don't work?Salary for nothing?
He Yuan could almost guess what they were thinking, and slightly curled the corners of his lips: "Officials are not free, and salaries are not free, the only thing they need to do is to contribute the skills they have mastered, and serve as teachers." job, open lectures in schools."
The people below silently understood the meaning of his words, and exploded again. This time, they were not excited, but found it inconceivable.
"Can this work? No one would like it?"
"If someone really comes, will they be beaten to death by other members of the family or division?"
He Yuan said indifferently: "How to implement this plan smoothly requires all of you to work together."
One sentence instantly blocked everyone's mouths.
"You guys discuss it first, and think about it after you go back." He Yuan left without saying a word, leaving a group of officials stunned.
This matter has been brewing in the small court for a long time, and fewer and fewer people oppose it. Everyone seems to be gradually looking forward to the changes that this new measure will bring. Later, a group of officials cooperated with He Yuan to refine the measures, and finally The New Deal was promulgated.
The notice posted this time is very different from the past. Each line is marked with pinyin, and the people standing next to it no longer read it word by word. They only explain aloud when everyone has questions. Everyone squeezed to look forward, and each of them read out slowly referring to the pinyin with great interest.
Because everyone wanted to go forward and read it again, Yan Wangfu quickly sent people to post a few more notices, and at the same time distributed the prepared leaflets to the hands of the people.
This kind of propaganda method that is disgusting in the modern bad streets is very effective in ancient times, especially in places like Qingzhou where the learning atmosphere is strong. Everyone can’t wait to ask for the flyers when they see it. After returning home, the whole family will read it. After reading and reading, families with children urged their children to learn to write according to the leaflets with branches on the ground. Such a leaflet has become a valuable asset for ordinary people who do not have any pens, inks and books at home.
This result made He Yuan a little surprised. When he first came to this world, he looked on indifferently and even looked down. After having Xue Yunzhou and his children, he became concerned. Now looking at these simple people, he felt a little fond of them. For the first time Back to really want to change the world from the bottom of my heart.
The notice was posted, although the whole city was discussing it, but no craftsman came to apply for it. According to the report of the spies, many craftsmen have come up with ideas these days, but the rules of the family or the teacher are there. The first sign of this is a burst of internal debate.
He Yuan waited patiently for several days, and finally got the first person to eat crabs.
However, this first applicant disappointed He Yuan a little. This person is a weaver of baskets, but the baskets he weaves are not only practical but practical, and can be done with a little dexterity, and many families weave their own baskets. There is no need to buy it at all, it is really difficult for this person's skills to shine.
He was not disappointed when he was rejected, he rubbed his hands and said cautiously: "I... I'm actually here to find out the truth... If the school really needs weaving baskets... Sir, my grandfather can come and try, he The woven baskets are very beautiful, and you can weave any color you want."
He still has some difficulty accepting the term "teacher" for the time being, and still habitually calls it "Mr."
The person who received him nodded: "You can ask your grandfather to come and try, but...how is he?"
The man nodded again and again: "The body is very strong, and he can still farm the land!"
On the second day, the man came with his grandfather. After a lot of consideration, the newly made basket was sent to He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou. After studying for a while, the old man came up with a problem: The embroidered pattern drawn by Mr. Shi is not complicated, but it is definitely not simple for weaving baskets.
They thought they would confuse the old man. After all, no matter how fine the basket weaving is, it is not as fine as embroidery. But they didn’t expect the old man to go back and study for a few days, and he actually made it. Although the pattern on it is not as fine as the flower, it is still enough. It's vivid.
Xue Yunzhou slapped the table: "The master is among the people! He's the one!"
As a result, "Yunzhou Technical School" recruited the No.1 technical teacher, and a name was added to the list of official positions in Yanwangfu: Zhao Sanxi.
The next step is to recruit students for this major. Considering that there are many people with handicapped legs and feet among the refugees, one point is particularly emphasized in the admissions announcement: priority is given to accepting applications from disabled people, and tuition fees will be reduced or exempted depending on the situation.
Those ordinary people with handicapped legs and feet have no education and cannot work. They have almost become a burden on the family. The vulnerable people even suffer from depression. They were all overjoyed, and immediately brought people to sign up.
The "Baokung Major" class will start soon. The name of the major sounds funny, but seeing those disabled people who are serious about class with their eyes and ears pricked up, no one can be moved.
Zhao Sanxi's appointment as an official and the opening of the Luokung major caused a sensation in the city, and more craftsmen were ready to move. While testing and selecting these craftsmen, the Yanwang Mansion began to arrange for the establishment of the Luokung factory.
Naturally, this factory cannot be compared with the scale of a modern factory. It is still a manual workshop in essence, but because of the businessman's operation and the connection between the south and the north, this workshop is much larger and more professional than the family workshop.
Merchants are born with a keen sense of smell, and they hardly need to be mobilized by the Palace of Yan. As early as when the new policy of "craftsmen as officials" was first put on the table, some businessmen were eyeing the potential business opportunities and greeted the Palace of Yan Afterwards, a batch of novel samples were obtained, and they quickly put into preparation work. After those students graduated with certificates, ready-made factories and established sales outlets were waiting for them.
The graduates were so excited that they kowtowed to Zhao Sanxi and Yan Wangfu to thank them. They have only learned a little bit, but they can already support themselves. After graduation, they will continue to ask Zhao Sanxi for advice. In the future, their skills will become more and more sophisticated. The days will get better and better.
As soon as the factory started construction, Zhao Sanxi also served as a technical consultant. After the first batch of finished products were sold, he was also so excited that he burst into tears, crying with the dividends. Before, weaving baskets was nothing more than the people around us who couldn’t weave. Buy it back and use it. No one cares about the patterns on it. He made up those patterns just for his own entertainment. He never thought that there would be such a rich return one day.
