"The squadron leader always runs so fast every weekend, as if he is in a hurry to be reincarnated." Seeing that Guo Tao rejected the offer to play together on the weekend, and with a wave of his hand, he had already trotted all the way and disappeared without a trace, Qin Ming, the leader of Guo Tao's squadron, helplessly spread his hands to several other squad leaders, his face full of helplessness.

"I guess I'll go back and help with things." Squad leader Zhao Xingdao.

"Or maybe I have a good relationship at the girls' school." The other squad leader, Liu An, said with a smile, looking like you all know the way.

There are now many schools under the Zhenguo Army, and the ten military schools of the Scout are only a part of all schools. There are primary schools in every village and middle schools in the townships, and in the county, the original county school has become the current senior high school, and the enrollment of many students has expanded. In the past, whether it was a private school or a county school, there were very few students, but now the schools of the Zhenguo Army not only do not charge money, but also have subsidies, and scholarships with good grades can even subsidize families. With such an opportunity, the number of students in elementary, junior high and high schools has increased significantly. There are even two academies in southern Liaoning and Dengzhou, and the students in them are almost all talented.

In addition, the Zhenguo Army also has Dengzhou Lecture Hall, Beisha Non-commissioned Officer School, Duli Town Sailor School, Qingnicheng Cavalry School, Dengzhou Engineer School, Changxing Medical School, etc.

In addition to these long-term professional schools, there are also quite a few short-term training schools. For example, all kinds of technical training schools generally provide training for three months to six months, and send apprentices to various mining and civil engineering industries.

In addition, there are a large number of female workers under the jurisdiction of the Zhenguo Army. Zhenguo Army has also set up a number of girls' schools. In addition to learning literacy, arithmetic, drawing, and music in the girls' school. There is also a lot of skills training. For example, in the medical school, there are gynecology, pediatrics, nursing, tailoring, cooking, teachers and many other professional skills training.

When this girls' school came out, it attracted a lot of opposition at first, but it didn't take long for everyone to accept it. Each workshop has signed a recruitment agreement with each school in advance, and these girls who come out of the girls' school will be paid much higher than ordinary female workers. And it's almost free at school, with free meals at school and even free school uniforms.

At present, Dengzhou City is already southeast of the original old city. With the addition of many new workshops and schools, as well as a large number of residential areas and commercial markets, a larger Dengzhou New Town has been formed.

Walking along the wide streets, because it is a weekend, you can see groups of energetic students walking by.

Li Jing and Li Rang, as well as Li Chun, Han Anmin, Xiao Dingbang and other major officials in Dengzhou, were all dressed in ordinary white straight shirts at this time, and several of them wore some makeup, and they did not hug each other, looking like the gentlemen in the most common schools in Dengzhou at the moment.

If you want to say that there are the most people in Dengzhou at the moment, one is the male and female workers in various workshops, and the second is the soldiers of various departments in Dengzhou. Zhenguo Army, Pinglu Army, Unity Army, Water Army, Township Army, Scout Army, as well as military police, public security team, urban management team, etc. And then there's the students from the schools and the teachers.

Since Dengzhou has run a large number of schools, it has attracted many scholars and literati from the Tang Dynasty. Most of them came to apply for the shogunate, and some came to study at the shogunate. Then there are those who come to be teachers.

The Zhenguo army was now extremely powerful, and it was a rare place in the rest of the world to be rich and secure, so many scribes rushed to Dengzhou. However, if you want to enter Dengzhou as an official or an official, it is not so simple.

The civil service examination of the Zhenguo Army is simply better than the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty, and the ratio of admissions reaches 1,000 to 1. This so-called civil service examination is a new policy recently introduced by Li Jing. All the positions of officials under the jurisdiction of the town and national army will be openly recruited. After the written test and interview, the final admission will be based on the results, and the written test results will be used to copy the papers and mark the papers in the past.

All positions other than the nine grades in the stream are admitted by the civil service examination. Although only officials are recruited, for many scholars, the Zhenguo Army is well treated and the conditions are excellent, and Li Jing also stated early in the announcement that the officials who have been admitted through the civil service examination can be gradually promoted as long as they have good performance and excellent assessment, and at the end of the day, they can even break the threshold between officials and officials, and be promoted from officials.

This alone is enough to make countless people come to take the civil service exam.

Although Li Jing admitted civil servants from 100 positions, large and small, after the first civil service examination, there were almost 100,000 people who came to sign up for the examination this time. Although the vast majority of them signed up for blind participation, the local Dengzhou people who tried it. However, there were still nearly 10,000 literati who came. Old and young, it is more lively than entering Beijing to catch the exam.

In the end, only 100 people were admitted, although Li Jing said that there will be a civil service examination in the first month of the new year, and more people will be admitted at that time. But many literati returned to their hometowns after the last day. However, there are also most people who are reluctant to leave when they come, and although they can't become civil servants, they also have other places to go. The various schools of the Zhenguo Army are recruiting a large number of teachers and trains, and the treatment is good, the salary is very high, and the benefits such as the New Year Festival are also good, especially Li Jing has a regulation that makes them very excited. Teachers who teach in schools in the town and national army can get extra points if they take the civil service examination. In particular, those who have obtained the qualification for the imperial examination in the various prefectures of the Tang Dynasty also have extra points.

Because of this extra point, many literati stayed and entered the school to teach. Another thing is that being a teacher is indeed very easy, and the accommodation conditions are also very good. In particular, Li Jing built two large libraries with a collection of 100,000 volumes in Dengzhou and southern Liaoning, which can be said to be a reason for them to stay. Even in every school, there are libraries with tens of thousands of books.

The teachers of each school, like the students, also have a uniform of teachers, that is, a cross-collared deep coat with black rim on a white background, with black yarn as the table linen as the scarf.

Li Jing and the others are all dressed in teaching attire today, wearing a black collared coat with a white background, a black gauze scarf, and even holding a folding fan on a cold day. A few people walked on the street, but they immediately had an air of elegance.

Han Anguo shook the folding fan lightly and said with a smile: "Previously, the young marshal proposed to build these schools with funds from the feudal treasury to expand the enrollment of a large number of students, but he waived all tuition fees, and even provided free room and board, provided subsidized scholarships, and even spent a high salary to invite many teachers. At the beginning, the old man was against it, and he went to pull Brother Xiao with him, and contacted many officials to fold it. But now it seems that the old man was indeed wrong. ”

Han Dingbang also nodded again and again, at the beginning, Li Jing wanted to run a big school, and even set up a school, a military school, a military school, a technical school, a technical school, and a girls' school, and it seemed that he wanted to let all the people under the jurisdiction of the Zhenguo Army teach everyone to read, write, and count, which caused him great worry. Since ancient times, it was thought that reading was only read by a very small number of people, and it even became the patent of the family.

The Tang Dynasty had a heavy blow to the Shi family, and then the family finally changed and adapted to the imperial examination, and used the imperial examination to make it easier for the family to enter the court, so that they could be regarded as accepting the imperial examination system. But Li Jing's school-running method, coupled with his civil service examination, is even more powerful than the imperial examination. A large number of schools are run so that almost everyone can study regardless of their background, and the civil service examination makes these scholars enter the officialdom without knowing their background.

This is the deepest concern, this is the long-term concern. The more recent concern is that it is also a great burden for Zhen Guojun to run so many schools, hire so many teachers, and subsidize so many students.

But now it seems that his worries were no longer a problem.

"It does cost money to run a school, but we're not afraid to spend money now." Li Jing smiled, "We don't just rely on land to survive now, we are still doing business, and we take out part of these profits to subsidize the school." In the short term, we are constantly throwing money into it, but we don't have to wait for the long term, that is, we can see the benefits in the short and medium term. ”

The trade of the Zhenguo Army is now booming, and the demand for goods is huge. The division of labor among the workshops began to become more and more detailed, and the demand for professional technicians increased. In the past, a blacksmith may have to study for more than ten years, but now, in different workshops, the blacksmith profession is divided into countless processes, and the short-term training of one of the skills in the technical school may be shortened to a few months. Combined, these workers, who had only been trained for a few months, were able to do the same work that would have required a blacksmith for more than a decade of study.

As the output of the workshop increased, the scale expanded, the profits from sales expanded, the tax revenue received by the town army also increased, and the income of the people increased, consumption increased, transactions increased, and the economy became better.

The money that Li Jing had invested in running the school would soon be able to be subsidized by the increased taxes.

And that's just the short-term benefit. In the long run, the more skilled craftsmen and craftsmen under the Zhenguo Army, and even the more literate and arithmetic talents, the greater the help will be for the long-term development.

"Dengzhou Wharf through the old Dengzhou City to the new Dengzhou City, ten cents a person, there are still vacant seats, you have to go to get on the bus quickly!"

An elongated four-wheeled carriage slowly pulled up to the side of the street, and the coachman on board shouted loudly.

Li Jing looked at the red-painted four-wheeled carriage, which had ten seats and four or five people, all of whom were merchants in silk or Confucian robes.

Ten cents is not much, but it is by no means small. From Xincheng all the way to Dengzhou Wharf, there is about 30 miles of road. It is 100 yuan to run a trip with ten people, this carriage is a double-pulled horse, it is estimated that it can run three or four times a day, that is 3 or 400 yuan, and it should still be profitable.
