Chapter 56 Navy

When Zhou Daodeng came to Beijing, he first asked for a sign from the Forbidden City. Zhang Yan invited him to the imperial study room to ask for constructive opinions on the current situation. After all, Zhou Daodeng was born in three subjects and two rankings, and he did not read books in vain.

At least he knew some of the truth. He gave three suggestions: one is to observe the ancestral system, the other is to uphold the public, and the third is to take responsibility for the actual results.

The opinions he said were not practical at all, and there was no difference between them and not saying anything. However, Zhang Yan felt that what Zhou Daodeng said was quite reasonable, and that it should indeed be done, so she nodded repeatedly, thinking that it was a great kindness.

In this way, Zhou Daodeng became the first assistant, and Bai Dongge, the bachelor of the university, all happened so dramatically that people can't help it.

Let’s talk about Yue Su’s side. After observing the private schools established by Wu Sinan, Mr. Yue intended to develop them throughout Fujian and asked each county to build at least two such schools. It is a bit incredible to say that, after all, without the permission of the imperial court,

It is really difficult to implement it without authorization. If you want to build so many private schools, you need a certain amount of funds. The space is relatively easy to solve. As long as the official says something, he can just approve a place casually. However, the salary of the teaching husband must be

, and one or two handymen are needed here and there, which is where money is spent.

But who is Mr. Yue? The imperial court does not have this order, but I, Yue Su, dare to issue it myself. The reason is very simple. It seems that it costs a lot of money to set up a school, but in fact, it is not much. As long as the superior leaders eat less.

Meal, everything comes out, it’s called a banquet of wine for the officials and half a year’s food for the people

Yue Su wrote to all prefectures and counties, telling them that since Fujian is an uncivilized land, not many people are literate, and there are still some people who do not even know the laws of the Ming Dynasty. In order to popularize education, he hopes that all prefectures and counties will be able to do this in March.

Within this period, at least two free private schools will be opened for rural people to attend private schools.

In the text, Yue Su did not say what would happen if nothing was done, and even the wording was in a discussion tone - I hope

Since it is hope, that means it can be done or not

This is not something that costs a lot of money. After a month, two or three taels of silver are enough. If you hire a talented scholar, the salary will be 1,20 taels of silver, and two servants will be cleaning.

Dry

It can be said that if the local officials pay more attention to it and save some from other places, it will be enough.

After the document was issued, some officials thought it was a good thing and wanted to save some money, so they took care of the matter. Some officials, out of fear of Master Yue, did not want to do it, but still obeyed the order.

Is there anyone who dares to do it without being ordered? There really is no such thing here. Why not? It’s really because Master Yue’s reputation is too loud. For such a small amount of money, if you say no, God knows whether Master Yue will fall out of love. Come on.

Find your shortcomings

These days, honest officials will definitely support Yue Su's actions and will try their best to get things done so that those who can't study can study. Corrupt officials are afraid that Lord Yue will come down to trouble him, so they don't dare to do it because of it.

A small loss can lead to a big loss, so you have to deal with it honestly

As a result, in just three months, each county in Fujian Province added two rural private schools to popularize local education.

Although Fujian is not very civilized and the people along the coast are very rude, there are still many people who want to study. They know that studying is the capital to get ahead. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars are ranked first. In the past, the family was poor and had no money for their children to study. Now there are

Given the opportunity, the government funded schools and children could study for free. Even if the distance was a little further, some parents let their children study in less than a year. The number of scholars in Fujian tripled, and people praised Master Yue for bringing benefits to the people.

Seeing the initial results, Mr. Yue was also very happy, and even planned to start free universal education nationwide in the future, so that people all over the world can read because these days, the cost of universal education is really very high.

It doesn't need to be like a modern school. There are so many teachers. Only one can handle one hundred and eighty students and teach subjects. It's just the same. There are no other messy textbooks and there is no need to force you to buy them. You can't afford them.

For books, just follow the teacher and copy them.

However, this is a matter for later, so I won’t mention it here for the time being.

Speaking of Master Yue, after issuing the official document, he continued to train troops in Fuzhou for a thousand years, and gradually took shape. More than a month later, Kong Youde and Mao Youjian arrived in Fuzhou and reported to Yue Su. At the same time, Fang Congzhe died of illness, and Zhou Daodeng was promoted to chief by the imperial court.

Fu's writings were also spread to Fujian and there were letters sent by Yang Yishan, which clearly described the situation in the capital and Zhou Daodeng's laws and regulations.

Yue Su read the letter and sighed again in his heart. He even felt a little sad about Fang Congzhe's death. After all, with Fang Congzhe as the chief minister, the court could be stronger. Even if the party is united and opposed, he can be regarded as a capable minister after all. But this Zhou Daodeng

Being the chief assistant really makes Yue Su worried.

If you don't worry, there is nothing you can do. You can't let Yue Su go to the trouble to object. In this case, the Queen Mother will have to dislike herself even more. Forget it, do your part first, and finish all the things here.

The arrival of Kong Youde and Mao Youjian boosted Yue Su's spirit. Each of these two men looked like a capable general. It was the time when Yue Su was employing people. Mao Wenlong had no secrets.

He really sent the talent here, which shows that he is loyal to the court. Marshal Mao's impression in Master Yue's mind suddenly improved a lot.

After leaving these two people to stay in Fuzhou for six days and letting them visit the great competition held every ten days, Yue Su set up camp and led his troops to Quanzhou.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, Yue Su has a better understanding of these two men, Kong Youde and Mao Youjian. They are both passionate young men, straightforward and daring, somewhat similar to Jin Chan and Tie Qiu.

We all drank together. It can be said that after only two days, we got together, talked and laughed, and were no different from our own brothers.

Kong Youde and Mao Youjian had also heard that Mr. Cifu was not very old and was very strict. They were afraid that it would not be easy to get along with them. As a result, they found out that Mr. Yue was not much older than them, and

Why is he kind and quite straightforward? His temper and temperament are similar to those of Mao Shuai. Especially Lord Yue's group of cronies are just like them. They are gentle people and don't have any habits of evil slaves in high-ranking officials' families. Because of this, it is even more

The two of them felt that living here was not much different from living in Pidao

Yue Su led his army to Quanzhou. He only rested in Fucheng for one day, and then led his people to the naval camp. The first order he announced was to appoint Kong Youde and Mao Youjian to serve as temporary deputy generals of the Fujian Navy.

, the original deputy general still remained in office, but the military power was handed over to Kong and Mao.

Regarding this kind of thing, it really means that regardless of whether you agree or not, Lord Yue is the biggest here. He controls all officials in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the promotion of these two temporary deputy generals regardless of civil or military affairs is not a promotion, because among these two people

, Kong Youde was already a deputy general under Mao Wenlong, and Mao Youjian was also a staff general, but the appointment was an appointment. Mr. Yue still wrote a memorial and sent it to Beijing for consideration, as a way to say hello to the court.

Mr. Yue now has Shang Fang's sword. You can kill first and then report. If anyone is dismissed from his post, you have to go home. It's so easy to get promoted.

After Kong Youde and Mao Youjian became deputy generals of the navy, they basically took over the navy. The commander-in-chief doesn't dare to take care of things now. You, Lord Yue, can do whatever you want. You can't stay here for too long anyway.

Jiu, when you leave, I will continue to take care of you

Yue Su asked Kong Youde and Mao Youjian to train the navy in a hurry, striving to shape the navy in the shortest time, have a certain combat effectiveness, and fight a good battle.

However, Kong and Mao cannot truly build a real navy. The two of them are at the level of pirates at best. Although they are not from the regular army, Kong Youde has a good way of training soldiers. How did he train in the first place?

How to train the soldiers on the island to go out and rob at sea? He followed this method.

Fujian's naval forces are used to being lazy from top to bottom. They usually neglect training, so naturally they can't do anything. With these two half-experts training, let alone, after half a month, they have a certain complexion.

This is not because Kong Youde drilled well, but because he was too strict. As soon as his order was issued, if anyone dared to be even half a beat slower, the whip would go up immediately, and some soldiers would be beaten to death. Some soldiers were beaten so hard that they really didn’t want to

I continued to work, but after careful consideration, I finally persisted. The main reason is that Kong Youde was not stingy in rewards. When he first took over the navy, he said, under my hands, if you persist for a month, you will be rewarded.

If you can make progress, act according to orders, and perform well, you will receive ten taels of silver per person.

This is also the custom of Pi Dao. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, but it is also a heavy punishment; if you have a fault, you will be punished, which is also a heavy punishment.

Since General Kong said that as long as we persist for a month, we will be rewarded heavily, then we will persist for half a month and see how much reward he can reward us, and then we will make a calculation.

There are quite a lot of officers and soldiers in the Fujian Navy. There are more than 5,000 numbers. If this reward is continued, how much money will be gained? Even if Yue Su has some wealth, he can't withstand ten taels per person. It can be said that when he was training in Fuzhou

, Master Yue paid all that money himself. Kong Youde didn’t even tell Yue Su about this wish. He just made it himself. What will he give to the soldiers? Once the month is over, he won’t be able to give tens of thousands of taels of silver as a reward.

, it is estimated that half of the navy’s officers and soldiers could escape.

Time passed day by day, and I saw that there were less than three days left before the January deadline. The officers and soldiers of the Navy were all eager to wait for the end of the month, and General Kong would reward the silver as promised.
