Summon players, rebuild Dawei

"Your Majesty wants to set up a Xiang Xu?" Ge Jian asked in surprise.

"Not bad." Jiang Shu nodded.

The state-owned Taixue and Guozixue, counties and counties can also establish county schools and set up Xiangxu.

The so-called Xiangxu refers to local schools.

However, local resources are limited, and they are not valued by the central government, so few schools are established, so everyone is a little surprised when they hear this.

Jiang Shu didn't have this idea at first, but recently with the increase of various guilds and the opening of textile factories, the manpower in the county government has become less and less, and it is difficult to recruit suitable officials for a while, so he thought of running a school to train students .

The establishment of Xiangxu is definitely a major event in the county. Given the current situation in Miryang, teachers and students are all problems, and the imperial court will not fund this matter, which means that all expenses have to be paid by him personally.

He must not be able to solve so many troubles by himself, so today, Jiang Shu called his think tank to the back hall to discuss this matter.

"The theory of setting up a school and promoting a school can be said to be the best in the world," Ge Jian said after consideration, "It's just that the high schools in the county are all lost, and it's hard to find a clear hope. If you want to start a county school, who should you take as your teacher? Where can children fill up their education?"

"In the years of war and turmoil, we should not stick to Chang Xian. I opened the school to select available talents to fill the gaps in officials. Therefore, as long as you are a diligent and studious person, no matter whether you are a scholar, high or low, you can enroll." Jiang Shu said Ban said: "As for teachers, since they are only cultivating officials, they don't need to be virtuous and respected. As long as they have both ability and political integrity, and are proficient in scriptures, they can be teachers."

As soon as this remark came out, the old god Zhang Zifang didn't respond, but Ge Jian's eyes lit up.

Because of his humble background, Ge Jian had run into walls many times before he met Jiang Shu, so he could more and more understand Jiang Shu's intentions behind these words.

If such a school can really be established, no matter how high or low, everyone can study, how many opportunities it will give poor children!

He couldn't help but said excitedly: "If that's the case, I will support you fully."

Jiang Shu nodded and looked at Zhang Zifang: "What do you think, Mr. Zifang?"

"There is no discrimination in teaching. The Lord's idea is very good." Zhang Zifang said with a smile: "But since we are going to open a school, it is a pity to only teach classics and history. I think we can add a few more skills, such as engineering and medicine. , arithmetic, martial arts, etc., can be included in the curriculum, so that the students cultivated can enrich the workshops everywhere, after all, my weapon workshop has been short of people for a long time!"

Jiang Shu gave him a thumbs up in his heart, these are also what he wanted to say, and it is just right for Zhang Zifang to bring it up now.

Limited by his own status, it is outrageous enough for a son of a noble family to propose that "no matter whether he is a scholar or a commoner, he can go to school".

So at this time, he pretended to be contemplative, and said: "Sir, what you said is reasonable, I will consider it."

As he spoke, Jiang Shu looked at Xie Min who was sitting on the other side.

Since entering the table, he has not spoken to Convenience, his face is calm, and it is impossible to see what he is thinking.

Jiang Shu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, after all, the idea he put forward just now can be said to be completely contrary to the concept of Xie Min's class.

He cleared his throat lightly, and asked, "What did Jun Cheng see?"

Hearing his name-calling question, Xie Min said: "Mr. Zifang said that although it is feasible, if we add craftsman skills to the county school, this preface will be far from the usual county school. , I am afraid that it will attract controversy from interested people, so I suggest that the two schools should be established separately."

"Brother Xie, what do you mean, besides the county school, there should be another school dedicated to teaching skills?"

"good."

Jiang Shu nodded, she was not beaten to death with a stick, but just suggested adding another school, Xie Min was already very enlightened.

And his proposal is indeed reasonable. The current class system is strict. Even issuing decrees in his own territory may involve some people's sensitive nerves. He still has to be careful not to be caught by others.

Immediately, he responded: "Brother Xie's words are reasonable, I will think about it carefully."

Now that several members of the think tank think that running a school is feasible, Jiang Shu is ready to let go.

After discussing the details of running the school with the think tank that day, he notified the officials of Zhucao about the plan to open Xiangxu.

He ordered Jincao to prepare funds for running the school in advance, Gongcao decided to recruit relevant talents as teachers, and Hucao made an on-the-spot investigation to select a suitable building as a school. At the same time, the matter of recruiting students was also put on the agenda.

Although the idea is very good, if it is really implemented, building a school is much more troublesome than building a textile factory.

Regardless of other things for the time being, teaching and teaching, at least books, paper and pens must be provided!

However, in today's world, such things are often the most expensive.

Fortunately for paper, some of the players who were forced to involve had already opened their own paper workshops. Using the knowledge of later generations, the paper produced is not only of good quality, variety, but also low cost.

It's just because the output is not high, and Miryang is still relatively closed, so it doesn't have much reputation.

Jiang Shu decided to invest in his paper workshop before that player developed, and expand its scale, so that government paper can also be purchased from it at a low price.

Then there is the pen and ink, which can be expensive or cheap, and it is not impossible for the poor to bite their teeth and buy a chicken feather pen.

However, using pen and ink to write is not so fast and convenient, and it is waste paper.

Jiang Shu thought of a pencil.

Although pencils, which seem to have a simple structure, are not easy to make now, but compared with pens, at least the raw materials needed for pencils are cheaper, graphite, clay and wood are easier to obtain, and people can try to make them. do see.

In addition to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, the biggest problem in running a school is books.

He is not too worried about the compilation of textbooks. The books of the Literature and History Academy have their own models to learn from, and the books of the technical school can also be edited by professionals.

The key problem is that there are too few books. You can't let the students in class don't even have textbooks?

Therefore, Jiang Shu had to consider printing.

To run a school, it is necessary to print a large number of teaching materials. When the school grows in size, it may have to print reference books and test papers, so it is not cost-effective to use engraving printing, and it is still necessary to use movable type printing.

He doesn't need to use the hands of players to achieve this matter. At any rate, he has published several novels in his previous life, and he has a little knowledge of the relevant knowledge. He only needs to arrange his craftsmen to do it.

However, if you want to use movable type printing, just engraving wooden movable type is a huge project, which is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

But this thing has to be done...

Jiang Shu wrote the plan, and couldn't help but sigh heavily when thinking of this, there is still a shortage of people!

·

Because of the school, Jiang Shu suddenly had a lot of work. It was rare that he didn't go back to the back house after dinner, but stayed alone in the government office to work overtime.

As soon as he started working, he gradually forgot the time.

Seeing that it was late, Ziming urged him to go back to rest earlier several times, but Jiang Shu responded, but didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't until Jiang Shu finished processing a stack of documents that he looked at the sky outside, only to realize that it was already so dark.

Then he closed the documents, got up and stretched, and walked to the back house.

While walking on the promenade, I heard the sound of a piano again, which was deep and distant, and broke into my heart suddenly.

Having lived with Xie Yin for a long time, Jiang Shu also knows that he often plays the piano before going to bed.

He usually listened to it as a lullaby, but today he didn't know whether it was because he worked too late or because the other party's song was too slow and long. Hearing the sound of the piano, he suddenly felt a little lost, his thoughts stretched, and he was a little homesick.

After walking to the fork of the corridor and staying for a while, Jiang Shu naturally walked towards the courtyard next door.

After passing through the winding stone path, after a while, we came to the outside of the veranda.

Same as last time, the doors of several rooms were all open, the dim candles flickered, and Xie Min was sitting in the hall playing the piano.

Jiang Shu didn't approach, but stopped outside the corridor and listened quietly.

The night wind is cold and the moon is as cool as water.

Xie Min raised his eyes and saw the young man standing in the pure white light, exuding a touch of loneliness on his body.

Across a corridor, their eyes met for a moment, and then he looked back.

After quietly enjoying the piece, Jiang Shu showed a slight smile, walked up the porch and entered the house and said, "Every time I listen to Brother Xie playing the piano, I feel calm and my worries are gone."

Xie Min glanced at the official robe he was wearing and asked, "Brother Shu just came from the official office?"

"Yeah, business is busy."

"If there is something difficult to solve, you can come to me."

"There is nothing difficult to solve, but there are too many things, and they are a bit complicated when they are crowded together."

Jiang Shu said and sat opposite him, and then changed the topic: "I really want to hear a piece of music, can Xie Xie play it for me?"

Xie Yin nodded: "You say."

"You probably haven't heard this song before," Jiang Shu thought for a moment, then suggested, "I'll hum a few words, can you try playing it?"

"can."

Hearing his response, Jiang Shu hummed a few words of "Water Tune Getou" softly.

Just now when he came all the way, seeing the bright moon, he suddenly thought of this song, and wanted to listen to it for no reason.

But in front of Xie Min, he was still too embarrassed to hum the song, so he turned sideways towards the courtyard outside the door, and while humming, he lightly clasped the desk with his knuckles.

After humming a verse, he stopped, and before he could turn around, he heard the sound of clanging piano behind him.

The sound of the piano was loose and heavy, and it became the tune he was humming just now.

Jiang Shu turned around in surprise, watching the pale and slender fingers pluck the strings, playing the familiar melody smoothly.

Xie Yin raised his eyes and asked, "Is it accurate?"

Jiang Shu nodded again and again: "Exactly."

"Anymore?"

"Yes, I will sing again."

"Ah."

Afterwards, the two collaborated to play a song divided into three sections.

When it was over, Xie Min played the three sections together again.

Jiang Shu secretly admired his memory, just listening to it, he became more and more homesick, not only missed the time in the previous life, but also missed his family in Xunyang at this time.

Yue Mo noticed that he was depressed, and Xie Yin asked, "What are you thinking?"

Jiang Shu was surprised that he could still be distracted while playing the piano, pursed his lips, and asked suddenly: "Will Brother Xie miss your family in Hengchuan?"

Xie Yin was silent for a moment, then replied, "Naturally."

"I think so, Hengchuan is much farther than Xunyang!" Jiang Shu sighed: "But it's not different, anyway, you and I have no time to go back."

After finishing the words, he looked at the scenery outside the corridor and sighed: "The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, listening to this song, you should have a pot of wine!"

Hearing this, Xie Yin glanced at Xu Hai who was by the door, and the other party received the prompt and immediately went to fetch a jug of wine.

After a while, Jiang Shu took the jug and wine glass from Xu Hai in surprise, and said in a daze, "There really are."

Although it was just a casual remark, since everyone brought them, he also poured himself a cup.

The wine slid into the porcelain cup, with a sweet and sour fruity aroma. It was the mulberry wine produced by the farmers' chamber of commerce.

Jiang Shu felt a little novelty, he didn't expect Xie Yin, who can't drink, to have mulberry wine in the house!

Could it be that he would secretly practice drinking by himself when no one was around?

After drinking a glass of mellow fruit wine, Jiang Shu was quite satisfied. On a whim, he raised his glass to Xie Min and said, "Brother Xie, would you like a glass?"

Then without waiting for the other party to answer, he shook his head again: "Forget it, you'd better not touch it."

Xie Yin said calmly, "I can have a drink with you."

Jiang Shu raised her eyebrows: "Really?"

"Ah."

It would be better to have someone to drink with, Jiang Shu thought to himself that it would be okay to drink a little, so she poured a small half of a porcelain cup for him.

The other party took the porcelain cup and drank it in a small sip. After a while, he handed the porcelain cup over again: "Please trouble me."

Jiang Shu was a little hesitant at the moment, and persuaded: "You should drink less."

Xie Yin: "I have a measure."

"That's what you said last time."

"I was inexperienced when I first drank alcohol, but now I have improved my drinking capacity."

After Xie Yin finished speaking, Xu Hai at the door also helped to answer the conversation: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Lang has never been drunk when drinking alone."

Really secretly practiced drinking!

Jiang Shu felt a little funny in his heart. Hearing that the two were so sure, he poured him another glass.

The two drank and chatted for a while, and then Xie Min touched the piano again, playing "Shui Tiao Ge Tou".

Jiang Shu leaned sideways on a few tables, listening to the sound of the piano, watching the moon and drinking.

When I played a certain line, I suddenly heard that the sound of the piano turned and was connected to another piece of music.

Because the tune and rhythm were picked up properly, Jiang Shu thought he was playing on his own and didn't care.

When the song was finished, Jiang Shu put down his wine glass and was about to get up to say goodbye, but at this moment, the other party said suddenly: "This is my new song, Madam, do you like it?"

Jiang Shu was taken aback for a moment, then noticed the redness on his cheeks and eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

How should I put it, he had a feeling that it was not surprising.

After laughing, Jiang Shu turned to look at Xu Hai with a dull expression: "You said he was never drunk when drinking alone?"

Xu Hai said hesitantly: "Maybe I'm drunk, but I didn't see it?"
