As soon as the news came out that Yulin City was going to open a school, it immediately became a hot topic in the city. Whether there was hope or no hope, everyone would talk about it. After all, this is an era where everything is low-grade and only education is good.
For the military attaches in Yansui Town and Yulinwei, although they all have hereditary iron rice bowls, they can only let the eldest son take the throne, and the other children and grandchildren will ask for their own blessings. If a school can be built, wouldn't there be one more
A good way out? In other words,
Who doesn't want to go to school? At least 80% of the military attachés have fantasies - in the future, one son will learn literature and become famous, and the other son will learn martial arts to carry on the family business. Civil and military affairs will complement each other, which will become a double insurance for the family.
Given the education level and cultural atmosphere in the northwest border area, it is almost impossible to get a scholarship in the capital city, and it is also very rare to get a scholarship in Xi'an, but at least you can find a way to become a scholar locally.
With the title of Scholar, firstly, one can study in the Imperial Academy, and after graduation, one can obtain the title of Supervisor and be an official; secondly, one can obtain some staff positions such as senior secretary in the border town army. Isn't Fang Yingwu a ready-made example?
Overnight, Fang Yingwu suddenly became a favorite. Within two days, he received twelve invitations of all kinds, and the invitations were sent by famous people in Yulin City.
Because the governor personally said that he had to discuss the details with Fang Yingwu. Of course, the governor could not do everything personally, and he had to rely on others to do the specific things. Fang Yingwu, who was well-educated and trusted by the governor, naturally took charge of the matter.
Besides, it is not easy to invite high-ranking governors. They may not be qualified, but they should be qualified to invite Fang Yingwu to meet.
Many speculators even thought bitterly that if they had known this, Fang Yingwu would have been struggling to work as a clerk in the warehouse, so he should have provided help in the nick of time. Otherwise, he would have formed a friendship in times of adversity, and he would definitely have been able to get a scholar spot at this time.
.
Fang Daxiucai looked at the invitation and had a taste of the warmth and warmth of human beings. After the world turned cold and cold, he shook his head and sighed, "A real man cannot be single and has no rights."
However, the hotter the topic of school became, the more Governor Yang felt that Fang Yingwu had come up with a good idea, a good idea that made his governor's career start very smoothly - just by running a school, he controlled the hearts of the entire Yansui Town.
Governor Yang thought again that this matter could not be delayed for too long to cool people's hearts, so he had to strike while the iron was hot.
He had already reported the matter to the imperial court, but that was just a formality. The establishment of Confucianism was an absolutely politically correct thing. As long as the local government had this intention and was willing to expend such effort, it would be impossible for the imperial court to oppose it.
Therefore, the preparatory work can be carried out in advance without worrying about the court's objection. With this idea in mind, Governor Yang convened all parties to discuss the establishment of the school on the fourth day after taking office.
In addition to Governor Yang himself, the meeting was attended by two officials from the guard station and the camp, as well as Cui Zhenfei and Fang Yingwu, two of the governor's staff.
As for the guard station, it was Peng Qing, the commander of the Yulin Guards. Yulin Guards was the actual territorial guard station and the actual administrator of Yulin City. The yamen commander was equivalent to the parent official in the mainland. He could not be bypassed in running the school.
As for the battalion, the commander of the camp was Yue Song, the deputy commander-in-chief of Yansui Town. Since the commander-in-chief was not in Yulin, the deputy commander-in-chief who was dedicated to guarding Yulin City participated.
Governor Yang sat in the middle and looked at the four people on the left and right. He coughed and said, "Let's stop talking and get to the point. I summoned you today to finalize the detailed regulations for running the school and then follow them."
Do this."
After the opening remarks, Governor Yang directly asked Fang Yingwu: "According to your calculations, how much money is needed to run Yulin Health School?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "The initial investment will require about a thousand taels of silver."
Governor Yang remained calm while Deputy General Yue watched his nose and heart. Only Commander Peng Xiaoxiao was surprised and asked: "Why are there so many?"
Fang Yingwu didn't even raise his eyelids, looked at the notes in his hand and replied: "Master Peng doesn't know what Confucianism is like? First of all, it is necessary to build a Confucian temple. There is no Confucianism in the world that does not build a Confucian temple. It is the standard system to study on the left and to have a temple on the right;
Secondly, the school must build a tall and bright Yilun Hall and a student dormitory that can accommodate at least 100 students, which is another huge expense;
In addition, it is difficult to find books in border towns. If a library must be built to build a health school, and the books purchased from other places can be supplemented, the cost may be hundreds of taels. What's more, don't forget that materials in border areas are expensive.
, adding up the above items, a thousand taels of silver is not much."
Governor Yang said: "There is only a small amount of Beijing Yun silver here in our hospital, and it must be used for rewards and pay. It affects the morale of the army and should not be touched lightly."
Commander Peng also complained bitterly: "There are too many people in Yulin City, too many soldiers, but few camps and livelihoods. We have been unable to make ends meet. Fortunately, the imperial court allocates a certain amount of Beijing silver every year to make up for the shortfall. It is difficult to raise money from the lower official guard station."
Governor Yang glanced at Commander Peng and ordered: "Yulin Guard has income from farming, income from taxes, and profit from salt. Can you squeeze it out by moving around? The guard will give out 500 taels this year and 5 taels next year."
One hundred taels, that’s it.”
Commander Peng still wanted to complain, but he saw Governor Yang showing off the arrogance of a feudal official and scolding: "You Yulin Guard are the only ones in Yansui Town who have income, and you are shirk-shielding and refuse to bear the responsibility. Do you think this hospital is deducting salary? Or do you think so?
Are you going to let the commander-in-chief squeeze out money by eating empty wages?"
Commander Peng had been reprimanded, so he remained silent. The biggest problem was solved. Governor Yang asked Fang Yingwu again: "Where is the Health Education Office? Has the site been selected?"
Fang Yingwu replied again: "The academy must be built in a quiet place, but the Yulin Acropolis is narrow and it is not easy to find a place. Wan Sheng has inspected the city in the past two days, and it is better to build the acropolis in the northeast."
After everyone thought about it, it was indeed best to build it in the northeast corner. To the west of Yulin Acropolis are government offices and military camps, to the south are several markets, and to the east are craftsmen's residences. So in comparison, only the northeast corner is the quietest. And Yulin Acropolis has no
The North City Gate makes the North City less crowded.
"But there are also problems." Fang Yingwu looked at Commander Peng and continued: "There are two warehouses of the guard office there."
Governor Yang immediately gave instructions, "Tear down the warehouse and move it elsewhere!"
Commander Peng said anxiously: "I'm afraid that's not the case."
Fang Yingwu suddenly interrupted, "Actually, it doesn't have to be a new building. The health station warehouse can be directly merged into the warehouse under the Administrative Affairs Branch for unified dispatch and management."
"I will definitely move the warehouse as soon as possible and it will not hinder the running of the school!" Commander Peng changed his tone and expressed his determination.
Fang Yingwu smiled faintly, "The last thing is the manpower issue. Building the Academy requires a large number of soldiers, and the camp's combat readiness cannot be used lightly, so we can only recruit them from the Yulin Guardsmen."
Governor Yang frowned and thought for a moment. He also felt that Yulin was located on the front line of border defense. Although the camp had sufficient manpower, it needed to maintain combat readiness at all times. It really couldn't be used to build a school, so the only option was to use local military and civilian households.
The camp was under the jurisdiction of Zongbing Town, but the local military and civilian households were under the Yulin Guards, so Commander Peng still had to worry about it. Governor Yang then ordered Commander Peng to say: "Ten local military and civilian households will draw one ding. Let's see how many guards can be summoned first." ."
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yue Song looked at Commander Peng across from him sympathetically. This old man was too aggrieved. Fortunately, he was a military attache who ignored local affairs.
Governor Yang is the sponsor of the school in name, and Fang Yingwu is in charge of the specific affairs. But after today's meeting, the money is raised by the health office, the space is vacated by the health office, and the manpower is still collected by the health office. All the hard work is taken care of. , but the biggest credit belongs to others.
Commander Peng obviously discovered this and gritted his teeth and said: "Since the people, money, and land are all taken care of by the Wei Institute, then it is enough for the Wei Institute to directly organize the health school, and then Futai will take charge of the overall situation, so why bother using other people to do this?" !”
This means that since everything is organized by Yulin Wei, then it is enough to let him, Peng Qing, take charge. What else should Fang Yingwu do? It is simply one more layer of formalities, which is useless.
Governor Yang did not speak, but picked up the tea cup and drank tea gently. For him, as long as he proposed the direction, there was really no big difference between who would be responsible for presiding over specific affairs. Even from an efficiency perspective, It might be more efficient if Commander Peng is responsible for the specific handling.
But things in officialdom are never that simple. He had to take Fang Yingwu's face into consideration and not hurt his own people's hearts, so he couldn't easily agree to Commander Peng's request.
Commander Peng saw that Governor Yang was avoiding talking, so he took out a letter from his arms, handed it over and said: "This is the letter written by Eunuch Zhang to Futai. I have brought it here."
Hearing the word eunuch Zhang, everyone in the room perked up. There was only one person in Yulin City who could honorably call eunuch Zhang, and that was Zhang Xia, the eunuch guarding Yansui.
The others are not stupid. Eunuch Zhang wrote a letter to Governor Yang at this juncture, but asked Commander Peng to deliver it in person, for fear that things were about to change.
Fang Yingwu was also slightly surprised. Commander Peng was able to deliver a message for Eunuch Zhang, which was a very symbolic thing in itself. It turned out that Commander Peng had the backing of the guarding eunuch, so no wonder he was very unruly.
Fang Yingwu quickly thought again, it seemed that Commander Peng had come well prepared today. He knew that Yulin Guards were indispensable for running the school and general affairs, so he wanted to use Eunuch Zhang's influence to come and ask for the title of presiding over affairs. From now on. It is also the capital to ask for credit and rewards, and at the same time, it can also be used to fish in troubled waters.
Governor Yang looked at the letter and was silent. The content of the letter was very simple. Eunuch Zhang advised him to be public-minded and not to blindly appoint private persons. Commander Peng, as the official of the Yulin Guard Office, is definitely the most suitable person to take charge of the general affairs of the school.
Governor Yang found it ironic that it was a eunuch who persuaded him to be selfless. Although he was not afraid of the guarding eunuch, he did not want to conflict with the guarding eunuch who had the power to report secretly to the emperor when he first took office. He was in a bit of a dilemma at the moment.
Fang Yingwu observed the words and expressions, and suddenly said: "Master Peng has been here for a long time, and he is indeed the best choice to host the school. I am willing to give up to him."
Governor Yang was very surprised that Fang Yingwu was actually willing to give in like this? It is very rare for young people to have such a state of mind.
Then he realized that Fang Yingwu had seen some clues, so he didn't want to embarrass him and took the initiative to sacrifice himself.
Thinking of this, Governor Yang was a little moved and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Fang Yingwu secretly winked at Governor Yang, "Wan Sheng is indeed willing to give way to the wise!"
He seemed really willing to let it go? Governor Yang sighed, "That's fine too."
Commander Peng wiped away his previous troubled expression and became very proud. He smiled uncontrollably. He knew that people like Fang Yingwu would definitely push all trivial matters to Yulin Guard, so he would be prepared in advance. You can catch him off guard and even snatch the title of host.
Fang Yingwu didn't even think about it, how important he was? It would be impossible to run the Yulin Health School without the hard work of the Yulin Guard commander. But without Fang Yingwu, he could definitely continue to run it.
When faced with a situation where I have to choose one of the two, I can only choose Commander Peng. This is the difference between the two.
The matter came to an end, and everyone walked out. Peng directed the other party to respond: "In this world, strength is respected. Only with strength can you have status. Just talking about it is of no real use!"
"Be taught, be taught!" Fang Yingwu replied with a smile.
He was not depressed? This made Commander Peng very uncomfortable, and his sense of joy was immediately reduced by more than half. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
