Under Zhao Tongzhi's repeated requests, Sima De made a little concession and returned to the original state of Huang Mengjia, that is, he was not formally included in the government system, nor was he organized as an officer or soldier, but he could assist the government in suppressing the riot, but whether to send troops depended on his own situation, and the initiative was not in the hands of the government but in his own hands. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This is actually a disguised listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement.

This is the limit of what Zhao Yue can do at present, and it can be regarded as reserving some face for the government.

Zhao Yue returned to the prefect with this seemingly harmonious result, while Huang Mengjia and Sima De returned to Lingao with good news.

Xia Nan was very satisfied with this result, he was unwilling to openly confront the government, but he also did not want to obey the government's dispatch, such conditions could allow him to develop with peace of mind and not be hindered.

Chongzhen's four-year "Li Rebellion" finally came to an end, Qiongzhou Mansion with more aggrieved conditions, in exchange for temporary peace, Xia Nan with the attitude of a victor, in exchange for the time needed for development.

In mid-August, the front hall of Hujiazhuang was full, and Xia Nan called a meeting to discuss post-war related matters.

Now that everyone knows the meaning of the word "meeting" and is gradually accustomed to this way of deliberating, Tan Shan and other people from the grassroots have changed a lot from the initial cautious observation to the current enthusiastic speech, and have also found the satisfaction of participating in the decision-making process.

Only Sima De secretly turned his nose up at the excitement of other people's attendance, isn't this the folk shrunken version of the imperial court. However, he admired Xia Nan, who was born as a businessman, for being able to discuss matters in such a form, brainstorming and gathering the strengths of everyone, from this point of view, Xia Nan has an extraordinary mind and mind, and it is no wonder that he can come to this point with a small salt village.

Xia Nan didn't know the thoughts of these people under him, it was commonplace to hold meetings in the old time and space, the government had to hold meetings, enterprises had to hold meetings, and even the sub-district offices had to hold meetings. After he started the company, it was normal to call a meeting with the management, and video conferencing was not uncommon. After crossing over, it is even more necessary to listen to the opinions of the natives of this time and space.

Lin Weiye, as the "second leader", took the lead in proposing the first topic of the meeting: building a school.

His reason was that with the expansion of power, there were factories, soldiers, and fields, and the hardware facilities were basically perfected, and the training of personnel, which was a software and long-term plan, also needed to be carried out.

"If we want to develop steadily in the long term, it is indispensable to cultivate our own talents. Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about technical things, even if I have three heads and six arms, how long can I last alone? Lin Weiye waved his hand excitedly and said.

In fact, in front of everyone, he still has a sentence that is inconvenient to say: except for steelmaking, which is the industry, the others are hearsay theories, and if it were not for the help of technicians such as Charles and Wang Yihammer, the things that seemed in these forums could not be put into practice. After all, the inventory in the stomach is getting smaller and smaller, and after the gold finger is opened, if you want to maintain the vitality of the technical level, it is a long-term plan to absorb the addition of fresh power.

Xia Nan nodded: "This can be had." There are a lot of scholars in Daming, but unfortunately there are very few that are suitable for us and can be used by me, and it is difficult to meet talents like Mr. Sima. ”

Sima De answered: "The lord has praised it. In fact, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are not all brainless and sour literati, Wang Yangming in the Zhengde period is an example, not only proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but also good at commanding troops and fighting, is an all-round Confucian. It's just a pity that we are just unknown people who live in a single place, and we can't attract such people. ”

Lin Weiye said: "The school I am talking about is not a private school, nor is it a county school, and the target of recruitment is not a student -- of course, people will not be willing to come -- education should start from the child, I want to find some local teenagers to go to school, there is no threshold, it is okay to be illiterate, of course it is better to be able to read a few words." ”

Sima Deqi said: "Don't learn the Four Books and Five Classics? Don't read the words of the saints? ”

Lin Weiye shook his head and said: "What do you do when you learn this, and send it to serve the imperial court after you finish it?" However, the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" and the like can be used as teaching materials for enlightenment, and after literacy, they can learn arithmetic, astronomy, geography, and practical techniques. ”

Only Xia Nan understood what he meant, but he was not sure about the effect of the training: "Is it useful to cramming Buddha feet temporarily?" It's hard to find an all-rounder like you. ”

"You don't have to train someone who understands a little like me, and you don't have to be strict about studying for two years to be on your own, you can build guns and cast cannons." Lin Weiye explained, "Now that we have guns, cannons, and warships, whether we are facing the army of the imperial court or facing the rogues and Tartars in the future, we can maintain a crushing posture from the technical level, and we don't need to climb more technology trees." However, in the future, the team and territory will be expanded, and more junior and intermediate technicians will be needed for equipment maintenance, factory management, etc., which I cannot do alone. Even if you haven't learned anything, you can make an abacus, and you can be an accountant. ”

Liu Quan agreed: "What Master Lin said makes sense, our business will always be bigger in the future, and the tenants who farm the land are all over the land, and the bookkeeper is not easy to find." ”

After Xia Nan listened, he clapped the board: "What Lao Lin said is very reasonable, then get a school, and Lao Lin is fully responsible for all matters." "The school's affairs have been decided in this way, just waiting for concrete implementation.

Huang Hansheng also suggested: "Although we won the battle with the officers and soldiers, our subordinates also found a lot worth improving. For example, the armor of officers and soldiers is distinct, easy to identify, and will not be injured by mistake, we are messy and have all kinds of clothes; And the officers and soldiers have armor, although the guards are poor, not everyone wears armor, but those who are officials always have them, how much can resist swords and arrows, do we also find a way to get some armor for the guards? ”

Xia Nan looked at Wei Lianheng: "Wei Baihu, you are from the Wei Institute, you have been in the army for many years, do you have any good advice?" ”

Wei Lianheng hurriedly said: "Wei has already said that the position of one hundred households is already a thing of the past, just call me by my name." As for what Brother Huang said, it is worth considering. He explained, "The guards are rotten, weapons and armor and the like cannot be popularized at all, although the Qiongshan Thousand Households is in a better condition in the entire Qiongzhou Mansion, but only officers with more than 100 households can have a set of chain mail, and the Thousand Households are equipped with Shanwen armor." If it is a battalion soldier, the small flag level and even ordinary soldiers have chain mail, which is really a world of difference compared to the guard. (To be continued.) )
