"I want to see how capable Wu Chongdao is?" Su Zhe had a smile on his face, sitting in the official pavilion outside Kaifeng Mansion, with a desk in front of him, and a few drinks and dishes on it.

Sitting opposite Su Zhe was his eldest son Su Chi, and Su Zhe's second son Su Shi was sideways to accompany him.

Su Zhe came to see off his eldest son Su Chi. Su Chi has just changed the position of the Northwest Third Road Transfer Envoy to the Shaanxi Road Transit Envoy, although it is a flat adjustment, but the Shaanxi Road Transit Envoy is very easy to make political achievements at the moment.

Because Shaanxi is basically no longer a border area, it is necessary to change from a high degree of combat readiness to a state of peace. The huge number of Western armies needs to be reduced and reorganized, and the conscription and military service that are on the shoulders of the people of Shaanxi also need to be greatly reduced.

And these jobs have to rely on the Shaanxi Road Transit Department to operate.

In addition, because Shaanxi's pacification envoy was revoked after the rise of Western Xia, six Jinglu pacification envoys were replaced. However, the Shaanxi Road Transit Envoy has always existed, and when the Shaanxi Sixth Road set up a separate transfer envoy (Shaanxi Sixth Road did not always have its own transit envoy, but sometimes set it up, sometimes canceled it), the Shaanxi Road Transit Envoy also existed as their superior.

Therefore, the Shaanxi Road Transfer Envoy can also be regarded as the last card of the imperial court to control the Shaanxi armies - the transfer envoy is stuck with the salary of the Western Army, and it is also stuck with the official field where the archers are placed.

This time, in the operation of reorganizing and reducing the western army, the Shaanxi Road Transport Mission will also play an important role. Because it is too authoritative to concentrate the military power of the Shaanxi Sixth Route in a strategic pacification envoy, the imperial court still did not restore the establishment of the Shaanxi Road Economic and Pacification Envoy, but set up a Shaanxi Sixth Route General Army Machine Room - that is, there is only a staff department, no headquarters, which means that the Sixth Route General Army Machine Room is a temporary government office.

The Shaanxi Road Transit Envoy will temporarily assume the responsibility of the Shaanxi Economic Strategy to pacify the envoy, and will be responsible for sorting out the Western Army together with the General Military Machinery Division.

However, it is not easy to do this, after all, the Western Army has cultivated a certain amount of power in decades of war. Many military leaders also have backers in the DPRK and China, and they will not be easily sorted out. Therefore, the matter of reorganizing the army has dragged on, and there has been no progress until now.

Su Chi knew Wu Haogu's methods, and said to his father with a smile: "My lord, if Wu Chongdao dares to take this errand, then there must be a way......"

"Of course, it is difficult for Wu Chongdao to organize the Western Army, but how much does this matter benefit him? He is now a thorn in Wenchen's side. If you go to rectify the Western Army and offend that group of Western Army generals, is it too much to make enemies? Moreover, Wu Chongdao pushed away the Northwest Third Route Xuanfu who could obviously make contributions, and went to be the chief military aircraft of the Shaanxi Sixth Route who offended people. What the hell do you think he's thinking? ”

Su Zhe was not very optimistic about the battle of Anxi, and marched to Anxi, which was far away from the Central Plains, clearly following in the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty. However, fortunately, the main force of the Western Expedition was the Hexi Fan Army, and the Great Song Dynasty needed to pay very limited, and even if the Hexi Fan Army was defeated, the imperial court could still take the opportunity to eat the Hexi Army. However, if Wu Haogu did the Northwest Third Road Xuanfu, he would still be trapped in Lingzhou, so it would be difficult for him to take care of the Yuntai School Palace in the east and the coastal city of the Maritime System Division......

However, Wu Haogu was willing to go to Shaanxi to do the whole army that offended people, and he was unwilling to go to Lingzhou to take up the post of Xuanfu of the Northwest Third Road.

Su Chi, who was sandwiched between the traditional Confucian scholars and the new positivist school, of course knew Wu Haogu's situation and his father's thoughts. However, he didn't want to be an enemy of Wu Haogu: "No matter what he calculates, as long as he can organize the Western Army properly, it will always be good for the country." ”

Su Chi was actually making peace with the mud.

On the issue of dealing with the positivist school, the four fathers and sons of the Su Zhe family have very different positions. Su Zhe saw the danger of the positivist school shaking the country (the country is a scholar), so he wanted to try to curb it. However, his eldest son, Su Chi, believed that the positivist school "has no virtue, but there is a great way", and "the great road is above virtue", so the victory of the positivist school is impossible to stop - no one can defeat the Tao with virtue, and the height of the two is completely incomparable.

As for turning the school struggle into a power struggle, Su Chi was even more disdainful, in his opinion, the world was unreasonable. Besides, playing with power is not what his father is good at, and Wu Haogu is now able to cultivate empirical talents and elite military attachés in batches. Even if Wu Haogu falls, the talents he cultivates will still grow up and occupy the center of the imperial court sooner or later.

Since positivism is invincible, it is better to oppose it than to go along with it...... In this way, he may be able to become a minister in the future.

As for Su Zhe's second son, Su Shi, he simply became one of the cadres of the positivist school, and now he has replaced Mi Youren to take over the Jiehe City Bo Division.

And Su Zhe's youngest son, Su Xun, was also opposed to positivism like his father. However, he did not oppose it from the standpoint of bureaucracy, but as a Confucian scholar, he opposed the doctrine of Wu Haogu, trying to draw ideas from the metaphysics of Buddhism and Taoism, and to oppose positivism and rationalism.

Although Wu Chongdao's knowledge has merits, it blindly strives for success and ignores morality. He used it too quickly, but in seven or eight years, he already had many disciples, and the good and the bad were mixed. And the positivist school needs too much money, so that it has to be based on the big port business market, based on the huge businessmen and big work, in the long run, the world will not be for the scholars and doctors! ”

Su Chi sighed secretly.

Su Zhe's words must be very reasonable. With the talents and money that the positivist school has at present, in another ten or twenty years, it will definitely be able to subvert the pattern of sharing the world with scholars and doctors in this dynasty.

And the process of subverting the inherent power structure is often accompanied by sharp turmoil, and there will even be a big war that will sweep the world!

Such a prospect, of course, is not something that Su Chi is willing to face. But he is also a little helpless - he is much younger than Su Zhe, and naturally he can accept new things faster. I have seen more about the positivist school and understood it more. Therefore, I also know that this school of thought has a great accelerating effect on industry and commerce!

If the positivist school flourishes, then industry and commerce will surely accelerate. The accelerated development of industry and commerce will give the positivist school of "burning money" more funds to "learn from things".

The traditional small-scale peasants (referring to the small-scale peasant economy, in which the landlords are also a part of the small-scale peasant economy), will inevitably be increasingly infringed upon by the big workers, the big businessmen, and even the big farmers...... Scholars and doctors, who were based on small farmers, would naturally decline along with them.

"Since the positivist school emphasizes morality and ignores morality," Su Chi was still planning for himself, "In the child's humble opinion, then we might as well open a school palace to recruit students with both ability and political integrity." ”

This is also a way, but the school palace is very expensive! Su Zhe had a gloomy face, "...... But where does the money come from? Could it be that Zhong Nan asked Zhong Nan to raise money from the merchants? ”

Su Zhe is the prime minister, and Su Shi is also a positivist cadre and a secretary of Jiehe City, so there is no problem in opening a "Sichuan University" with hundreds of thousands of yuan.

But the problem is that if you take the money of the merchants, you have to train their children, just like the current Jingdong Gezhi School Palace is also full of the children of wealthy merchants...... The teachers of the Gezhi School Palace are all dug from the Yuntai Department at a high price, and they are also as keen on various "Gewu" projects as the Yuntai School Palace, and the money is spent like running water. Therefore, Zhang Dan and Zhang Qi (both of whom are Zhang Dan's grandchildren) who presided over the school palace had to recruit a lot of rich people to pay for it.

Moreover, the "rich sons" are not necessarily the children of the gentlemen who stretch out their faces and specifically look for smoke, and their learning ability is no worse than that of the sons of rural landlords. The reason why they do not have the upper hand in the imperial examination is that their base is much smaller than that of rural scholars.

But now, even in the Qingcheng Academy, which doesn't care much about tuition fees, the proportion of children of rural scholars is very low.

So there are some things that you think about very well, but when you actually do them, you will unconsciously go down the wrong path!

Su Chi frowned and said, "My lord, new things are always more expensive. Now there are not many students from the Yuntai Academy, and the way out is good, either as an official or as a curtain, there are not many people who can be teachers, and the demand is large, so the salary is naturally not low. However, now that the school palace is expanding day by day, and the number of new students is gradually increasing, the new school in the future will definitely not be as expensive as it is now. ”

The high cost of new education is largely due to the high salaries of teachers – the same situation existed in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. After all, scarcity is expensive! And there is no place to invite foreign teachers at the moment, so they can only recruit people from the students of Yuntai School Palace and Biyong School Palace. And the students of these two palaces, especially the students of Yuntai Academy, are of high quality, and they have a wide range of outlets, so they are naturally worth a lot of money.

However, this high value cannot be maintained forever, and as more and more academic palaces (universities) are opened, the value of empirical students will inevitably depreciate.

When the time comes, it is natural that more new schools will appear.

"How many years will you have to wait? Moreover, the positivist school has helped industry and commerce so much that by that time, state affairs should have been messed up by profiteers. ”

Su Zhe does not deny that the truth of the positivist school is right, but he has also discovered the subversive characteristics of the positivist school.

"And what do you want?" Su Chi knew that his father must have some idea, "The child is reckless, adults might as well say it clearly." ”

"You have been in the northwest for many years, don't you know about the Lantian Lu Township?" Su Zhe said, "Aren't the soldiers who have made contributions to the country now from Lantian?" In the eyes of my father, the township covenant, the township soldiers, and the township school are the way out for the country! ”

"Township school?" Su Chi was stunned for a moment, "Teach what?" What to do? ”

Su Zhe smiled: "I don't know for my father, but Wu Chongdao must have a way!" Bochong, do you know what to do? ”

"Got it!" Su Chi thought for a while, "The whole army, the township covenant, the township soldiers, and the township school are all one. Wu Chongdao can't just organize the Western Army, regardless of anything else. Otherwise, there will be chaos in the northwest! ”
