Chapter 27 Meeting Zhu Xiongying
Why lose money?
On the one hand, it is actually the dilemma of late-developing industrial countries. The products they produce have limited international competitiveness. It also bears the costs of relocating industries from developed industrial countries. On the other hand, it is actually a feudal management system that is not enough to manage modern industry.
There are various reasons here, including bureaucracy, selfishness, and corruption. Or the marginal effect of management ability. All can be explained.
The simplest solution is to transfer these factories to private parties. It’s not that private individuals don’t have these problems, but if private individuals have these problems, they will be eliminated by the market. Moreover, He Xi changed from managing a huge production system to only regulating the market system, which reduced too much workload.
And this workload is not He Xi's own.
If it were He Xi's own, the worst he could do was imitate Zhu Yuanzhang, as long as he didn't die, he would just work overtime until death. This is nothing.
But the problem is that this workload is added to the entire Ming Dynasty bureaucracy.
Even now, there are already quite a few bureaucrats working in the Liaodong factory system.
What will the combination of a huge bureaucracy and an inefficient factory system bring about? He Xi naturally knows.
yes. Because of technical problems, what He Xi sees now is actually just a very simple market problem. All it takes is a new market and it will be solved soon. But the question is what to do in the future?
He Xi sighed leisurely. Based on his original intention, he actually did not want to abandon the state-owned system. After all, in He Xi's heart, the template is not capitalist society, but socialism. He wants the Ming court to no matter what its internal structure is. It must be a strong government.
After all, if such a huge empire as China has a loose government, it will encounter more problems in the future, not less. As for He Xi's intention to participate in the battle of the Age of Discovery. Don't even think about it.
And a strong government cannot be trusted if it does not control a large amount of production means.
Where is the appropriateness?
He Xi just felt like her head was spinning when it came to such a very detailed content. He Xi can only rely on some economic ideas from later generations to do things. It is impossible to copy many experiences of later generations. A big country like China must follow its own path. This is true regardless of modern times. The same is true for Ming Dynasty.
But in He Xi's heart, there was a vague voice asking: "Can I be the architect of China's reform?"
Whether you can or not is no longer important.
Regardless of whether He Xi volunteered or not, the times have placed this burden on him.
——
This is a long-term solution after all.
Don't rush. There is one thing, He Xi must do.
It was nothing else but to meet Zhu Xiongying.
It was just when He Xi saw Zhu Xiongying again.
He Xi hardly recognizes Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying changed into a very simple cotton clothes and stood under the podium. There were dozens of students densely packed below, and there were dozens of students outside the windows lying on the windowsills listening attentively to the lectures.
Because buildings in this era are all civil structures with limited spans. Of course, it is not impossible to build very large palaces, such as the three main halls of the Royal Palace, but the cost is very high. The highest cost is in finding suitable beams and columns. .
And the kind of big wood that supports such a large palace requires hundreds of years to grow. That's really one less tree to cut down.
Naturally, Yingkou University Hall does not have so many luxurious materials. Therefore, the classrooms in Yingkou University Hall are generally separate buildings with three to five rooms, just like ancestral temples in the countryside. It would be nice to have dozens of people.
There were more than a hundred people inside and outside here.
This shows Zhu Xiongying’s popularity here.
He Xi also stood outside and listened carefully.
Although Zhu Xiongying is less than 20 years old and still has a childish look on his face, he is not nervous at all when facing so many students who are older than himself. He has the demeanor of a general and behaves with ease. There were many names written on the blackboard behind him.
What about the Four Monthly Orders of the People, the Art of Qi Min, Wang Zhen's Farming Book, the Farming and Mulberry Collection, etc.
He Xi also recognized it. These were the names of some agricultural books.
But Zhu Xiongying didn't notice He Xi's arrival. Still talking eloquently on the above, he said: "Since this dynasty, the imperial court has paid special attention to farming. The biggest innovation is that your majesty forced the planting of cotton. Don't underestimate this policy. Without this policy, there would be no prosperity in Liaodong. You know Liaodong The winter is so cold. If you don't have cotton-padded clothes and a fire bed, can you survive the winter? This is the ultimate wisdom of His Majesty."
What Zhu Xiongying said is best understood below.
As mentioned earlier, many of Zhu Xiongying's students are older than him. In fact, this sentence is not entirely correct. It should be said that more than half of Zhu Xiongying's students are older than Zhu Xiongying. And these people are not from traditional scholar backgrounds.
Whether they are self-taught or not, they know some words by chance. Without having to learn to read clauses, he was directly thrust into the Yingkou University Hall.
They all come from poor people.
It seems careless, but it is actually helpless.
The situation in Liaodong, even if the Korean immigrants are included, the number is only about two million. Based on the population structure, the number of these people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five is only a small number. How many people are capable of reading? Although there are not many people in Yingkou Academy, there are probably one or two thousand people.
Otherwise, how can we call it a university?
In this way, restrictions will naturally be relaxed. But it will definitely not be like this in the future.
Most of these people come from poor backgrounds and know what the cold winter in Liaodong is like. I feel it deeply.
"Now the imperial court cares for the people even more, crossing thousands of miles of sea waves to obtain good seeds for the people of the world." Then Zhu Xiongying said hello, and a student immediately brought a bag from the door.
Zhu Xiongying took out corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, pumpkins and other grain vegetables from the bag and explained them to the students one by one. With the sound of jingling bells in the distance, get out of class was over.
Someone specializes in ringing the iron bell.
Zhu Xiongying immediately collected the things on the table and said, "Collect these seeds and distribute them to everyone. This is also one of your homework this year. Plant them well and study appropriate planting methods."
This issue is actually being studied in many places including Liaodong, Beijing, Nanjing, Jiangnan, and Shaanxi.
However, the research methods are all trial planting by experienced farmers. It has not yet been widely promoted, and it is difficult for many people to get their hands on it. But for Zhu Xiongying, it was just a piece of cake.
After Zhu Xiongying distributed the seeds, he immediately said: "get out of class is over now."
Before Zhu Xiongying could finish speaking, countless people below rushed up and asked Zhu Xiongying questions. Zhu Xiongying sat down, opened a booklet, then took out a pencil, put it behind his ear skillfully, and began to answer questions one by one. If he met those who couldn't answer, he would write them down in the booklet with a pencil. Then continue placing it behind your ear.
Every action here has lessons learned.
For example, use a pencil instead of a brush, and place the pencil behind your ears rather than anywhere else.
The reason why I use a pencil instead of a brush is because there are too many people asking.
There are many questions that do not need to be memorized, but if the brush is not used for a long time, the tip of the pen will dry up, and if the inkstone is placed on the table, it will be easily bumped by students. Whether the inkstone overturns or the ink is spilled, it will not end well. .
When he put the pencil behind his ears, he accidentally dropped the pencil on the ground and had to find it under countless feet. It was really difficult.
The reason why. It's because Zhu Xiongying is also a star lecturer at Yingkou University.
The reason why this is the case. Because of many reasons.
The first is the explosion of agriculture.
Although it is said that Yingkou University Hall is divided into various subjects. But in fact, agriculture is not paid much attention to. This is also the consistent style of scholar-bureaucrats. They seem to be focusing on agriculture, but in fact they don’t care much about agriculture itself. There is also very little research on it. Most of them are just personal interests and hobbies.
And for the common people, especially the lower class people. If you can collect three to five more buckets, it means you can have a few more full meals.
The two sides' emphasis on agriculture is completely different.
So at first, Zhu Xiongying just helped teach some agricultural machinery. But many students want to study agriculture itself. But there was no suitable teacher found in Yingkou University. So some people thought that Zhu Xiongying should take over temporarily.
Zhu Xiongying agreed.
So Zhu Xiongying officially became a teacher at Yingkou University Hall, with an official rank of ninth rank.
Some people died, but not completely...
