I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

There are actually many ways to divert everyone's attention during the Chinese New Year. For example, Beidai County should now establish a county school.

Speaking of this matter, Luo Shixing felt that it was outrageous. The official school of the Tang Dynasty had basically gradually become complete since Tang Taizong.

The imperial examination is also divided into shengtu and xianggong. The difference between the two is that shengtu goes to government schools at all levels. When they take the official route, it is equivalent to the nine-year compulsory education to high school and then to university.

Xianggong, on the other hand, recommends himself after self-study, and can also take the imperial examination, which is similar to the adult college entrance examination.

However, the colleges that later generations can go to after the serious college entrance examination and the adult college entrance examination are different, but after taking the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty, it is no different, and there is no difference. Even the requirements for the tribute to the township are lower, and only the family members and the person are not adulterated. Criminal records and the like will do.

It's just that Xianggong and Shengtu are just qualifications for the imperial examination. Whether they can pass the examination is another matter.

However, in Lingnan, there is no regulated official school at all, so the imperial examinations are not related to this place.

Luo Shixing thinks this is not enough. If Lingnan is to be included in the Tang Dynasty, it must be treated the same. Let Lingnan play its own game, how can it be integrated into one?

After much deliberation, he thought that the school should be established first. The manor had its own school, but Luo Shixing did not intend to merge this school with the one in Beidai County.

The main thing is that the county schools deal with the imperial examinations. The textbooks in the manor are divided into two types. One is more practical, and strives to allow students to work directly after graduation.

The other is comparative academics. The future route of this part of students is to engage in various scientific researches.

This can be regarded as his own talent training. Applying the current system, this is actually a retainer, but he has made it a little more formal.

So the matter of the county school needs to be done by Alezhen. After all, he is the county magistrate, and he is in charge of clerical work.

Al really had just finished the Xinghui Festival, and was basically still in a state of laziness on vacation, when Luo Shixing approached him.

Al was really surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"

Luo Shixing hooked his fingers and said, "Come on, I have something for you to do."

Ale was really a little confused. According to their habits, when the Chinese New Year was just over, they would deal with things accumulated during the Chinese New Year, especially since their Xinghui Festival had just passed, and the Han Chinese New Year had not yet arrived.

Basically, now is the time when all kinds of year-end summaries are concluded. Generally, there are no major issues. Generally, even Luo Shixing will not choose this time to do anything.

But he still leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?"

After explaining his thoughts, Luo Shixing said: "This matter requires you to figure it out. First, choose the location of the county school. It doesn't need to be a particularly good location, as long as it is not in the deep mountains. Even if the location is not very good, you can do it later. To build roads."

Moreover, the school can drive the surrounding economy. Even if the place is relatively remote, as long as the number of students is large, there will be surrounding industries that serve these students. If there is money to make, people will go there, but the premise is that there are many students.

In the Central Plains, apart from county schools, there are actually city schools and town schools. Town schools are schools in towns, and city schools are in villages at this time.

However, being able to do this in the Central Plains does not mean that all places can do it. The most constrained thing is population.

Luo Shixing calculated the population of Beidai County. In fact, the population of Beidai County is not large now. It seems that there are more black households.

Oh, the black households here belong to those who come from other counties and want to settle in Beidai County, but the county magistrate of their hometown does not agree to move out of their household registration, so Beidai County cannot be settled here.

These people couldn’t survive in their hometown. They can eat and drink here. Although they can’t rent low-rent houses without household registration, they can also rent other houses, but the price is more expensive. If they are lucky, they can even go to the mining area. If you work part-time, there is accommodation provided.

Yes, it is good luck for these black households to work in the mines. After all, the mines pay a lot of food and housing. If it is not good, it is not worth so many people leaving their hometowns to work.

After excluding these people, in fact, the total local population of Beidai County cannot support the opening of so many schools, so in the end it was decided to set up a county school and forget it, and those whose families are far away will live.

If the family lacks a labor force and cannot let the children stay and study, Luo Shixing will not have a particularly good solution for a while.

It is impossible to do everything, so we can only do it first and then think about the future situation.

Alezhen's eyes lit up after hearing this: "That means that in the future, children can also participate in the imperial examination, right?"

Luo Shixing was a little uncertain and said, "Shouldn't it? Don't worry, I'll write to ask the envoy."

Datang is actually very tolerant of foreigners. Generals who surrender can also be officials in Datang. It makes no sense that Lingnan belongs to the territory of Datang. People here can't be officials, right?

But just to be on the safe side, he still had to ask. If the county school was set up, and everyone spent half a day on school and couldn't take the imperial examination, something would happen.

After hearing this, Alezhen curled his lips and said, "What can you know?"

He finally discovered that Lingnan has always been like this because there is no good economic and strategic envoy, and various places develop everywhere.

Guangzhou already has a good location, and the port has a good climate, so the natural development is good. The mountainous areas on their side are difficult to walk, and they are left to fend for themselves.

Luo Shixing said: "He can write a letter to Beijing to ask questions no matter what."

Al was really worried that the envoys would directly reject their request. After all, this kind of thing was too troublesome. Didn't Lingnan come here because there were no government schools at all levels for so many years?

If you really want to take the imperial examination, you can also go to the village to pay tribute. Why bother?

Because he had more dealings with the envoy, Al really felt that he could already imagine the tone of the envoy's reply.

After Luo Shixing heard it, he also felt that it made sense. If you call this person a big treacherous and evil man, it doesn't count. After all, I heard that he is not very greedy, and the law and order in Guangzhou is not bad.

But if you say he is a good official, it really doesn't count. To say he is mediocre is to praise him. A local official doesn't even want to take responsibility, which is too dereliction of duty.

However, this matter still needs to be told to the Jinglue envoy, so when Luo Shixing wrote the letter, he specially added a sentence at the end: If it is inconvenient for the Jinglue envoy to communicate with the court and China, I can make a request on his behalf.

The envoy was paralyzed when he saw the end, that is to say, Luo Shixing was just being polite when he wrote to him to inquire, which meant he respected him as an envoy, but if the envoy shirked his responsibility, he would give Jingli wrote.

The envoy did not doubt the authenticity of his words at all. It was not the first time that this person had written to Jingli, and Jingli even reprimanded him, saying that he was unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

In fact, the envoy didn't intend to shirk this matter, he was worried that the news of the refusal would spread, and he would be scolded by the heavens.

However, the time when Luo Shixing came up with this idea was not very good. It was just in time for the Chinese New Year, and the court sealed the pen, so he had no time to ask, so he had to write a letter to tell Luo Shixing to let him wait patiently, and he wrote to the court immediately after the year.

In this case, Luo Shixing naturally began to wait. After the year passed, Jinglue wrote a memorial to the court as quickly as possible, asking for officials to learn.

It wasn't until this time that everyone realized: Oh, there is not a single government school in the whole of Lingnan!

Wu Zhao was very interested in this matter. Educating the people is one of the key tasks of the ruler, and if there are achievements, they can be recorded in the annals of history and left a name in history.

The reason why Lingnan did not establish a government school is also because of its special features-this place has always appeared in the newspapers at all levels as a place of exile, or it is a rebellion by scumbags, which is not a good thing anyway.

However, the envoy also talked about this problem, mainly because there are too many illiterates here, they don’t accept kingship, and they don’t understand etiquette, justice, and shame, so they should learn more and use Confucianism to influence the people here. It can also be cleared.

As for the descendants of officials who were exiled, it depends on how they were sentenced. If it is clearly stipulated that the descendants cannot be recruited, then naturally they cannot go to school. If there is no clear regulation, then they will be treated as ordinary people.

This is also a way, Wu Zhao suddenly remembered the information she received before, Luo Shixing seems to have set up a private school in Beidai County, so Beidai County is now the most stable in the whole Jiaozhou, and even in the whole of Lingnan, and he is also in the heart. The closest place to Datang.

It is said that the ethnic minorities and the Han are basically the same family, and there is no major conflict. They respect each other's culture, and even those tribes will actively absorb the advanced culture of the Han.

From this point of view, the establishment of official schools is quite important.

Wu Zhao now needs a stable Lingnan, and her confidant's big trouble is Tubo, but because of the successive rebellions in Lingnan, the whole court is very afraid of Lingnan, and they don't even dare to send troops to Tubo easily. If Lingnan can stabilize in a short time, She can also restart the war against Tibet.

So for this matter, she immediately ordered someone to allocate funds, and ordered the Lingnan Economic Strategy Envoy to write a report and present it.

When the manager received this news, he was completely paralyzed. How could he write such a statement?

So he urgently asked Luo Shixing for help, but Luo Shixing had no choice but to go into battle by himself. He didn't understand that there were rules for these, as long as he wrote down the number of establishments, it would take a few years to complete, how difficult is this?

Anyway, this thing is just an expectation. Luo Shixing made a prediction based on the situation in Beidai County, and then extended the prediction time by ten years.

After all, not all local officials actively run government schools.

But halfway through writing, he suddenly discovered something. After the previous rebellion, they lost a governor and two county magistrates in Jiaozhou. Now these three official positions are all vacant. How did the court arrange it?

Luo Shixing put aside the affairs of the official school, and turned around to write another letter to the envoy.

The reply letter from the Jinglue envoy was also very fast: "Wait, I sent a governor over last time, but when I was halfway there, I heard that Feng's rebellion, and I was so frightened that I was sick. Healed, but failed to recover, the imperial court now needs to resend."

Luo Shixing was speechless when he saw it, but he could understand the governor to some extent. This place in Lingnan is probably the most abundant place in the entire Tang Dynasty.

If you are told to wait, then wait.

So I waited and waited, and the angel sent by the imperial court to Beidai County came.

Luo Shixing was a little puzzled when he heard that the angel had come, he hadn't done anything recently, could it be that Cheng Jingwei came to reward him for his meritorious service?That can't use angels either.

When he went out, he found that the angel was still carrying an imperial edict, which clearly stated: Luo Shixing, the magistrate of Beidai County, worked diligently in government affairs, benefited one side, and was a clean and honest official. .

Luo Shixing: What the hell?
