Originally, Song Yingxing thought that Zhu Jie established the academy for the imperial examination, but he didn't expect that he would say that he wanted to cultivate all the learning! This is almost unprecedented, there are so many academies in the world, where is there a academy that does not study the Four Books and the Five Classics? It's really outlierable!

"Lord Futai, where can such a academy recruit scholars? The dignified scholar does not study the Four Books and the Five Classics, and wastes all his time on things, but I am afraid that no one wants to, once this happens, it is equivalent to cutting off the road of official career......"

Song Yingxing said in shock.

"That's why I want to recruit poor young people, once the academy enrolls students, it will bear all the cost of room and board for students, and I don't believe that students don't need to spend a copper plate, so I can't recruit talents!"

Zhu Jie replied.

"Well, how much does that cost! Even if a student only spends ten taels of silver a year in the academy, plus the teachers and colleges we invite to purchase, there are no more than 10,000 dollars of silver every year, and they can't get it! ”

Song Yingxing was a little dumbfounded, this cost is definitely not a small amount, and this academy is not just a year or two, a grid academy, at least it will exist for decades, or even hundreds of years, wouldn't it cost hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels?

Zhu Jie smiled proudly: "Ten thousand taels a year? Lord Song, you are too stingy, every year I will invest no less than 100,000 taels of silver in the academy, and the number of students enrolled will not be less than 1,000, divided into arithmetic, agriculture, mining, machinery, astronomy, calendar, physics, Western languages and other disciplines, and give students 10 taels of silver for living expenses every year, and all books and teaching aids will be purchased by the college; There are also at least 30,000 taels of silver for teachers to study and study every year; Every year, 10,000 taels of silver will be given to reward the top 10 in each grade, and in addition, at least 100 taels of silver will be offered to each teacher every year! ”

Song Yingxing was completely stunned, generous, absolutely generous!

A thousand students!

The largest academy in the world will not have so many students!

If you study in other colleges, you have to pay tuition, but this academy is good, and you have to pay silver!

"How? Lord Song, you won't be reluctant to bring your earth-shattering knowledge directly to the ground in the future, right? ”

Zhu Jie laughed.

Song Yingxing's face changed slightly, and he said unhappily: "Where did Lord Futai come from, if I were to cherish myself, I wouldn't have put "Heavenly Creation" back then.

If it is published, it will not be presented to the emperor! However, no matter how good I am alone, I can't teach thousands of students, and this can't exhaust me to death......"

"Please!"

Zhu Jie replied: "I only have to pay for it, just prepare it, and put it in the appointment of a famous teacher, that's your business, as long as you have a good teacher in your hand, then you can invite it, the salary is set by you, as long as it is a talent, even if you give him a thousand taels of silver a month, I will allocate it to you!" ”

Song Yingxing gritted his teeth, he didn't expect that he was already sixty years old, and he was looking forward to such a Bole who could appreciate himself and let him play to his heart's content, so what else to say, what do you do, the one who is a confidant dies!

"Okay, since the adults believe in me, then I will go next, even if I am tired to death, I am willing!"

"Don't worry, I won't let you die of exhaustion, I've already hired a helper for you, but I haven't come yet, it won't take long for them to arrive, and now there are two Tang Ruowang and Fang Yizhi in Kaifeng, Tang Ruowang is proficient in firearms forging, astronomical calendar, arithmetic, Fang Yizhi is also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, after all, you can't compare with young people, specific affairs, you can hand over to Fang Yizhi to do, he is only in his thirties, in the prime of life, and has a lot of energy! Also, it won't be long before Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and others will also come, and they will be placed in the academy together when the time comes! ”

Zhu Jie has already planned it, as soon as he comes up, it may not be a good thing to let them ascend to the court, when he is fine, he will be placed in the academy to teach and educate people, and when he needs it, he will directly recommend it, there are not many talents, anyway, there are seats waiting for them to fill in!

"However, the lower officials think that the top priority is to stabilize the people's livelihood and officials in Kaifeng Mansion first, Kaifeng Mansion is in a mess, how can it be possible to open an academy?"

Song Yingxing replied.

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Yes, only when the people's hearts are stable, can we talk about anything else, anyway, this epidemic will be handed over to you, if you encounter any thorny problems, you can find me at any time, within a few days, the herbs will be purchased, and there are still a lot of medicinal materials in the army, all of which are in your hands, in a word, control the epidemic as quickly as possible, and if it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that it will be infected to the army again......"

Song Yingxing hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"My lord, look, how are we going to encircle and suppress the thieves next?"

Seeing that Zhu Jie and Song Yingxing were chatting about the same, Xu Yifan asked Zhu Jie.

Zhu Jie smiled: "What do you say, is there any good way?" ”

Xu Yifan pondered for a moment and replied: "Hide from the sky and cross the sea, and lead the snake out of the hole!" ”

Zhu Jie asked, "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

Xu Yifan replied: "My lord, Li Zicheng gave Kaifeng Mansion to us just so that our army could also be infected with the plague, and then did their best to launch a counterattack towards Kaifeng Mansion, and gathered our main force in Kaifeng Mansion in one fell swoop. I think we can just do what we want, and these days we can make the illusion that there are constantly sick people in the army, paralyze the thieves, and when they gather forces to attack, we will dig a trap and let them get in, and surround and annihilate them in one go! ”

Zhu Jie nodded and said, "Yes, it's exactly what I want!" In this Kaifeng Mansion, Li Zicheng has a lot of spies, and he has sent orders down to let some sergeants in various departments of the army disguise themselves as patients and carry them out of the barracks for disposal every day, and the number of them continues to increase, deliberately revealing the wind, I think, Li Zicheng will very much hope to get such news......"

Xu Yifan echoed: "Okay, I will deploy this matter......

Zhu Jie said with a smile: "This is the first step, and later, we still need to have follow-up actions!" The order goes down, starting from today, the troops of the left and right forward battalions will transfer their troops to the outside of the city every night, and all the cavalry will be transferred to the east and west of the city to hide, and all the artillery will be concentrated in the south of the city. ”

Obviously, as long as Li Zicheng's army dares to attack Kaifeng Mansion, when the fierce battle is in full swing, the two cavalry battalions will assault the flanks of the army from the left and right, directly tearing apart the defense of the camp, besieging on three sides, and with the help of artillery, it is impossible for Li Zicheng not to be defeated!
