"Guo Changshi, you..."
Zhu Fugang wanted to persuade him, but when he came to his senses, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Guo Changshi!"
Guo An behaved very generously.
"I support Zhu Changshi's plan to build as many elementary schools in Beiping Mansion as possible. Education is the same as craftsmanship, and we fully support it.
Now, half of the city of Goryeo belongs to our Prince Yan's Mansion.
As for the Japanese country, those military generals and officials who were exiled have almost adapted to it.
When all Goryeo belongs to the Yan Palace, it will be time to completely conquer the Japanese country.
By then, our Prince Yan's Mansion needs more people who can read and write. "
“Now, Prince Yan’s Mansion does not lack money, it just lacks literate people!
I am very pleased that Zhu Changshi has the heart to cultivate talents for the Yan Palace.
However, Jianmeng is simple to learn.
In the later period, Zhu Changshi is asked to consider the maintenance and management of Mongolian studies, as well as the Mongolian studies and Confucius.
Also, I do not force the scholars who graduated from the elementary school built by Prince Yan’s Mansion to be loyal to Prince Yan’s Mansion, but they must not be enemies of Prince Yan’s Mansion.
Also, at least 50% of the scholars need to be officials in Prince Yan’s palace! "
"Is there such a good thing?"
Zhu Fu's eyes widened.
"..."
Guo An was startled and then became speechless. He seemed to have forgotten that serving as a clerk in the Prince Yan's Palace in Beiping Mansion had become something that many scholars pursued.
Regarding the construction of Mengxue, Zhu Fu took the initiative and Guo An agreed.
And Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun would not stop her.
then.
A few days later.
The magistrates of Wanping County and Daxing County, as well as a group of old rural gentry, all came to Prince Yan's Mansion with faces full of joy.
Discuss the construction of Mengxue.
The county offices of these two prefectures and counties are both located in Beiping City, so there is no obstacle to communication with Prince Yan's Mansion.
First, ten elementary schools were built in these two counties.
Build five in each county!
Each elementary school can enroll fifty to one hundred students.
The officials, gentry, and village elders could all vaguely guess the purpose of building the Mongolian School in Prince Yan's Mansion.
Therefore, everyone is very cooperative.
"Don't worry, Zhu Changshi, there are two brick kilns in Xiaoren's home. The one built near Xiaoren Village will provide all the bricks needed for the elementary school for free!"
"Zhu Changshi, it is a great good thing to build Mengxue. The old man and others can recruit all the young people in the village to serve as all the laborers!"
"Zhu Changshi, if you need a tutor for Mengxue, we can write a letter or recommend some tutors..."
"Zhu Changshi, you need it in elementary school..."
After several discussions, Zhu Fu's face was full of excitement and joy.
Having these people here directly saves him a lot of money and a lot of chores.
"O good family, under my Beiping Mansion, there are all good families. It is fitting that our Beiping Mansion will be prosperous!"
…
Wait until the weather gets hotter.
Zhu Di also returned triumphantly with his army. This time he captured all the barbarian tribes and captured Mongolians, camels, horses, cattle and sheep, as well as countless property.
Because this time, King Zhu Di of Yan was the main general.
therefore.
Some of the property captured by Zhu Di, as well as camels, horses, cattle and sheep, can be kept in Prince Yan's Mansion.
The foundation of Prince Yan's Mansion is once again richer.
"I've met Commander Zhang!"
Guo An also met Zhang Yu, Zhang Shimei, who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty from a high-ranking official in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and followed Zhu Di to bring eternal wealth to his descendants!
A fifty-year-old man, although he has a thick beard, he still has an elegant face.
To be able to avoid being implicated in the Lan Yu case and to be deeply trusted by Zhu Di, this Zhang Shimei indeed has great wisdom.
Even though he had made many military exploits with Zhu Di this time and his official rank was one level higher than Guo An, he still faced Guo An's courtesy.
Zhang Yu showed no arrogance at all, and returned the greeting to Guo An with respect.
"Zhang Yu has met Guo Changshi and has heard of Guo Changshi's illustrious reputation. Unexpectedly, when we meet today, Guo Changshi is really extraordinary!"
"Commander Zhang is so complimentary. His Highness Prince Yan often praises Commander Zhang for not only being brave in battle, but also being resourceful. The Prince of Yan has added another good general!"
Guo An chuckled and complimented.
Zhu Di and Zhu Fu on the side couldn't help but look surprised.
This was the first time they had met, and Guo An was so complimentary to the general they met for the first time.
"Thank you very much, Your Highness, for the compliment!"
Zhang Yu quickly saluted Zhu Di with a grateful face.
Zhu Di couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "Why should Zhang Qing be so polite? Zhang Qing's bravery can be seen clearly by tens of thousands of my brothers in the Yanshan Guard."
After saying that, Zhu Di turned to Zhu Fu and Guo An and asked, "Has anything happened at home in the past few months since we have been away?"
After saying that, Zhu Di turned to Zhu Fu and Guo An and asked, "Has anything happened at home in the past few months since we have been away?"
Guo An said: "Back to Your Highness, everything is fine in the house and nothing major happened!"
"That's good!"
Zhu Di nodded with relief.
However, Zhu Fu couldn't help but glance at Guo An and hesitated to speak. He built ten elementary schools and spent more than 50,000 taels of treasure money. Such a big thing was not counted?
"Um?"
Seeing Zhu Fu's expression, Zhu Di was moved in his heart, "Is there something wrong with Zhu Qing?"
Zhu Fu quickly reported: "Your Highness, please forgive me. In the past few months, I have built five elementary schools in Wanping County and Daxing County respectively!
A total of fifty thousand one thousand taels of treasure money was spent! "
"Ten Mengxue?"
Zhu Di was slightly stunned and said: "How many children can be admitted to school? Master, do you have enough?"
Hearing that Zhu Di did not care about how much money he spent, Zhu Fu felt relieved and quickly replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, each Mongolian school has hired two masters, which can accommodate a hundred children."
"So, if there are ten schools, wouldn't that mean a thousand children?"
Zhu Di's face lit up, "So, ten years from now, wouldn't there be tens of thousands of scholars in Beiping City alone?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Fu took advantage of Zhu Di's rise and said again: "Your Highness, all state and county officials, village elders, and gentry in Beiping Prefecture are very eager to build a Mongolian school, and they are very cooperative.
I wonder if Your Highness would like to build some elementary schools in various prefectures and counties in Beiping Prefecture? "
"establish!"
Zhu Di said directly: "Build five in each prefecture and county. We will enable tens of thousands of children in Beiping Prefecture to be enlightened and everyone can read and write!"
"Your Highness's kindness is a blessing to the people of Beiping Mansion!"
Zhu Fu's face was filled with excitement as he remembered something.
However, Guo An had a different opinion, "Zhu Changshi, our Beiping Prefecture governs seven counties and four prefectures, five in each prefecture and county, which is fifty-five Mengxue.
One hundred enlightened children in each elementary school means 5,500 enlightened children.
I wonder if there are so many school-age children in these prefectures and counties in Beiping Prefecture?
Can the elders of those children's families allow their children to be enlightened?
Or, is it possible to recruit more than a hundred enlightenment masters?
…”
"this……"
Zhu Fu couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhu Di also frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Zhu Changshi, Guo Changshi, can these elementary students allow me and other military children to go to enlightenment?"
"It's natural!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhang Yu was overjoyed.
Zhu Fu was convinced and said again: "Guo Changshi, plus the heirs of military households, 5,500 school-age children should be enough, right?"
Guo An smiled lightly, "Zhu Changshi, that requires 5,500 school-age children every year!
In total, our Beiping Prefecture has more than 100,000 households.
How many of these more than 100,000 households have children in need of enlightenment? "
Zhu Fu: "..."
Indeed, according to what Guo An said, there are indeed not that many school-age children in Beiping Mansion.
Moreover, some people do not want their children to be enlightened because they think it is too expensive.
There are also some children who are naughty and mischievous and are not suitable for enlightenment!
As a result, there will be fewer school-age children!
Guo An continued: "Zhu Changshi only built an elementary school, so what will happen to the children after they are enlightened?
Put it back home and roam around?
Within two years, I had forgotten everything I learned in elementary school! "
At this time, Zhu Di heard something was wrong, "What does Guo Qing mean?"
Guo An slightly raised his hand, "Weichen suggested that we add another class to the elementary school for primary school students.
Those children who have completed enlightenment can go directly to primary school there for further study.
In this way, after two or three years of study, they can basically recognize all commonly used characters and read some classics.
In addition, for digital arithmetic, you should also be able to do the simplest arithmetic. "
“These children can further go directly to the academy, or they can study directly at their homes!
Only children like this can be considered scholars..."
"Can!"
Zhu Di, Zhu Fu and others couldn't help but brighten their eyes and nodded with great satisfaction.
As for how much money it would cost, Zhu Di didn't care at all.
Now, as Goryeo was gradually captured, he finally realized how much his Prince Yan's palace needed talented scholars!
