The Journey Starting from the Siheyuan Chapter 606 Talent Training Base
After sending a boy to enter personal information for more than a dozen people, Wang Lidong turned to Buwei and said, "Show Manager Cheng a few design drawings."
"Okay, sir." Buwei took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves and handed them to the square-faced middle-aged man beside him, "Manager Cheng, if you have anything unclear, you can ask me."
"Okay," the square-faced middle-aged man hurriedly reached out and took the drawing.
He was originally a small steward in charge of construction in the Duke's Mansion. This morning, he was suddenly told that he would follow the Young Master from now on. This made him overjoyed. There was only one heir to the Duke's Mansion...
I read several drawings carefully...the martial arts training ground, the dormitory, the dining room...
What is this young man planning to do?
It looks like a military camp...
He immediately threw away these thoughts and stopped worrying about things he shouldn't be thinking. This was what his mother told him. He kept it in mind since he was a child and it helped him avoid several disasters.
After reading all the design drawings, Manager Cheng frowned a little.
There are many problems.
It's no problem to repair the house, but adding a firewall to the room is a big project.
Ordinary green bricks will definitely not work, you need to use special fireproof bricks, but these are in short supply. There are only two workshops in Tokyo that produce them. If you place an order now, it will take at least half a year to get it...
And it's impossible to build a new house in such cold weather.
After Wang Lidong listened to Manager Cheng's answer, he canceled the plan to add firewalls.
"Manager Cheng, the dormitory and dining room will be built in spring. Are there any other problems?"
"Young Master, we need to repair the house, build tables and chairs, and level the land. Ten people are really too few. It may take half a year to complete everything.
Half a year?
How many children can you conceive?
The main purpose of his visit to Yaojiazhuang today was not to check the accounts, but to verify various specific conditions of Zhuangzi.
After all, hearing is believing and seeing is believing. After looking around, I decided to put my talent training base in Yaojiazhuang.
Sanjin's house is big enough and can be used as a school after repairs and renovations. There are also several open spaces around the house, enough to build some dormitories and several training grounds.
He was particularly satisfied with the transportation aspect. It only took half an hour to get from Yaojiazhuang to Tokyo City by land. It was faster by water. It only took a quarter of an hour to get directly to the Duke of Qi's Mansion. It was so convenient to arrive in the morning and at night.
Wang Lidong said: "It must be completed within a month. How many people are needed and what materials are required? If you don't tell me, he will help you solve it."
Manager Cheng nodded. As long as he has enough manpower, he can guarantee that he can pat breasts in half a month.
Wang Lidong said to Buwei: "When recruiting people, give priority to people from our village. If there are not enough in Yao's village, we will go to the other four villages."
"Manager Wu, how long will it take to complete the renovation of the three courtyards?"
"The yard is the fastest and can be renovated by the end of the month."
.....................
At noon, the news that the young master was going to open an academy in Yaojiazhuang spread throughout the five villages under his name at several times the speed of light.
Hundreds of households of tenant farmers became restless.
The social status of scholars in the Song Dynasty was really high.
The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. This slogan is not just a lip service.
If the Song Dynasty is compared to a company, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrat group each hold 50% of the company's shares. If the scholar-bureaucrats don't nod to any major issues, the emperor can only stare.
Therefore, as long as one wore an official hat in the Song Dynasty, the benefits and benefits would make civil servants a thousand years later jealous.
[To tell you the truth, I have been using the Changing Source app recently to read and catch up on updates. Changing sources allows me to read aloud with more sounds.
The famous upright official 'Bao Zheng', his position is Deputy Privy Envoy, similar to 'Deputy Bamboo Mat of Junwei', his annual salary is 3,000 guan, in addition there are various welfare fees, clothing materials, carriage fees and other subsidies, the total is almost the same
Five thousand strings.
Not counting this, there is also the official land, which can receive a land rent of almost 10,000 guans a year. In total, it is 18,000 guans per year, and the purchasing power of each guan is almost 500 Sihai coins.
The annual income is almost 9 million.
The above are all on the surface and can be exposed to the sun. As for the private ones... everyone knows.
Correspondingly, the risks of being an official are pitifully small. As long as you don't rebel, no matter how corrupt you are, you will just be demoted and lose your official position.
I waited for the heads of the four farmsteads outside Yaojiazhuang to find out more about the private school. When I returned to my village, I was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic tenant farmers and almost lost my breath.
"No tuition fees? Zhuangtou, is it true?"
"And provide a free meal?"
All the tenant farmers looked suspicious. The conditions were so good that they all suspected there was something fishy going on.
Ever since I was a child, I have never heard of any private school that offers free classes.
At this time, the tuition fees of each private school are different, and the charging standards mainly depend on the teacher's position.
There are many people who have the reputation of being scholars, and they are considered to be popular. Most of the tuition fees are one or two hundred cents, but for those who have passed the exam, the tuition fees have skyrocketed. They usually start at the highest level and become a Jinshi.... There are some in Tokyo Jotai Gakuin.
Of course, these days, the imperial court still offers many free government schools, with food and accommodation included, and a monthly living allowance of several hundred yuan per student...
Are you envious? But there is a prerequisite, you must have a good father. This kind of school is only open to the powerful or officials.
As the saying goes, 'To be courteous when you have nothing to do is to be a traitor or a thief.' The Yao Family Village is at the foot of Tokyo City. Everyone knows clearly what the style of the noble disciples is like.
"My young master's academy is recruiting two classes this time: civil and martial arts classes. The liberal arts class only teaches simple literacy and arithmetic, not the Four Books and Five Classics. The martial arts class, in addition to literacy and arithmetic, also learns fists, feet and weapons, so a meal is provided."
I only teach the most basic ones, no wonder.
Although the tenant farmers were a little disappointed, everyone felt at ease.
Almost all tenant farmers with children at home have signed up, and more than 90% of them have signed up for literature classes.
It's winter now, and there's not much work in the fields. Anyway, it doesn't cost any money. Learn more, and when your children grow up, they can go to the city and find a job as a shop assistant or accountant.
In the main room of a farmhouse to the west of Yaojiazhuang.
Li Jinhu, who had just returned home, squatted in front of the ash stove, warming his hands and said to his wife: "...I signed up Daniel for a literary class. The college will start on the first day of next month."
Liu Jinhua, who was knitting straw sandals, stopped what she was doing and still didn't believe it: "You really don't want to be repaired?"
"You really don't want to practice the practice! Just teach a few words and practice the practice, and it doesn't cost much.
The owner of the village is the young prince of the Duke of Qi's mansion, and his family is rich in gold and silver, so how can he take a fancy to such a small amount of money?"
Li Daniu, who was sitting on the kang and amusing his little sister, suddenly said, "Dad, Mom, I miss Wu Ban."
Li Jinhu looked at his 8-year-old son and frowned: "Martial arts class? What can you do if you learn boxing and kicking? Your eldest brother wants to join the army when he grows up?"
Li Daniu said in a loud voice: "Dad, I can learn calligraphy and arithmetic just like the martial arts class, and I have an extra meal, so I can save one meal of food at home every day."
Li Jinhu thought for a while and realized that this was true. Although his family did not lack this little food, over time, he could still have two or three stones in a year.
Moreover, his eldest son usually likes to dance with guns and sticks. If he really wants to go to some literary class, he might not go there in a few days. Looking at his wife, Liu Jinhua nodded and said: "It's not sweet to be strong, since the eldest brother likes fists and kicks."
, then go to martial arts class."
Li Jinhu said to his eldest son: "Then tomorrow morning, daddy will go to Zhuangtou's house and change you to the martial arts class."
While the tenants were crowding at the village head's house to sign up their children, Wang Lidong rode a carriage to an ironworks workshop five miles west of Tokyo.
At this time, salt and iron were exclusively sold by the imperial court. If private individuals wanted to operate the business, there were two options: one was to do it secretly, and the other was to buy it from the government.
Pumai is a system in which the Song and Yuan governments sold certain taxing rights or other rights to merchants and households. It is very similar to the 'private contracting' adopted by Guo Qigai in the 1980s.
