Chapter 242 The two return to their hearts
No young man with motivated intention can reject Taishan Academy, especially he heard that it is open to all classes in Taishan County.
No matter what your origin is, as long as you meet the age and regulations, you can enter the school.
There are also restrictions, that is, as long as you openly become enemies of the Yellow Turban Young Marshal or have resisted the Yellow Turban Young Marshal, you will not be able to enter the school within three generations.
If you help officers and soldiers fight against the Yellow Turban Young Marshal, you will not be able to enter the school within two generations.
The most severe point is that the immediate family members are imprisoned for crimes and if the evidence is conclusive, their sons will not be able to enter school.
Those who have already entered the school will not be able to take the scientific examination, which also means they will not be able to become an official.
Why is the public security in Mount Tai so good? In fact, this is it. The importance of Mount Tai Academy is already known by fools. If you don’t want to implicate your descendants, it’s better to be more tactful.
After all, even current officials or military officers are treated equally in crime. In a sense, Taishan has indeed achieved the point that "the emperor violates the law and the common people."
"Don't you go to the counties to see it? Maybe it's just Fenggao..." Zhang Yu looked at the two people in front of him. He thought it would take several days and half a month, but he didn't expect that he would come to him the next day.
"A glance at the whole leopard, Fenggao is the capital of Mount Tai County, with the largest population and the smallest land. In this way, prices can be controlled so low, and the people's food and clothing can be solved, so the counties will only be better." Liang Xi said slowly.
"What do you think?" Zhang Yu nodded. Liang Xi had a good vision and could notice this.
It is basically impossible for the capital to have much land. In later generations, they can only continue to expand. From the first ring to the sixth ring, a large number of towns originally became a certain area.
This situation can only occur in modern times. After all, the city walls in the Age of Thermal Weapons have no effect, and it is more convenient for the expansion of the city.
In ancient times, they all lived in the city walls. The method of expansion was to add one more wall outside, otherwise one and two walls would be demolished for expansion. No matter which one, the project volume and the cost of people were very serious.
This also means that it will either cost a lot of money and can only be upgraded to the national engineering level, or the expansion level is not large.
If there is no extra land in the city, then you naturally have to buy land and build a house in the surrounding area. With more homesteads, there will be less land.
Therefore, more than 70% of the food in Fenggao needs to be transported from other counties. As time goes by, the proportion will be even higher!
In addition, Liang Xi also found a problem, that is, the official road in Fenggao is very flat and wide, and the vehicles on the official road have basically never stopped. They keep entering Fenggao and constantly going out from Fenggao.
If you look closely, you will find that this road has obvious signs of widening and is very new.
After asking, I found out that after the Young Marshal of the Yellow Turban came, he had been organizing the construction of canals and roads. He first used prisoners and later recruited civilians to build them.
What is rare is that this is not corvee service. The Young Master of the Yellow Turban clearly stated that from now on, all counties and counties under his rule will be exempted from all corvee service.
Any project required will be paid by the government.
At the same time, short-term projects can provide paid but low-priced food, while long-term projects need to directly provide food.
Even the food standards are clearly stipulated. If the funds are not enough, you can write to the county governor to request funding, and then approve the funds after review and approval.
National-level projects... There is no such thing as yet, but this does not prevent Zhang Yu from writing the articles first: the governor will report to the court, and then the court will allocate funds and dispatch supervisors.
After all, it is to make sure that every amount of money is used in practice, rather than evaporating suddenly.
The spacious official road makes the transportation of materials more convenient. The civil servants themselves have their own salary, and the grain prices in Taishan County are stable and the prices are not high, so people have begun to come out to consume.
Consumption drives the market activity, allowing more businessmen to begin to gather towards Fenggao.
Zhang Yu did not deliberately guide him, but in the past two years, the economy naturally recovered and had returned to the highest level in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Looking at this trend, it will completely surpass this level in at most three years.
Such things can only be incredible when they appear in areas controlled by thieves.
Tian Yu didn't quite understand how all this was done. Liang Xi had a good vision and guessed what kind of cycle it was. It seemed very simple, but in fact it had hidden mystery.
It's just that simple truth, why didn't the imperial court know? Even before that, he himself believed that corvee labor was just a pure persecution of the people. After all, he had to bring his own dry food for free labor...
"I feel a lot, but I just have more and more doubts..." Liang Xi gritted his teeth and said.
Zhang Yu knew he would have many doubts. In fact, many things were very simple and could be broken by poking them. No one ever poked them.
It is hard to say whether it is the class idea of the feudal era or whether it does not want these things to appear for the sake of interests.
It can only be said that in terms of feudal thought, the West is not as good as China, but in terms of modern economic system thinking, China can only learn from that. It is not that it is bad, but that it has never been before. It sprouted twice, but both end up being cut off.
"It's okay, there's still a lot of time... Let's chat slowly." Zhang Yu signaled the other party to sit down.
In one hour, the two sides talked a lot. The more Liang Xi listened, the more he gained. Many things he didn’t understand before and didn’t understand before suddenly became enlightened.
This will have a great impact on his future political thoughts.
At the same time, he is more convinced of Zhang Yu. It is true that the other party has ambitions, but he is really capable.
The reason for the rebellion is also very clear. He is Zhang Jiao's son. Whether he wants to or not, he is a "rebel" that the court wants to kill.
Knowing this truth, Liang Xi and Tian Yu were so worried.
If such a talent is not the son of a traitor and can become an official, the revival of the Han Dynasty is not a dream.
Then he thought of the previous conversation and couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Just like the current situation of the court, how can one enter his own revenge? Especially when every reform may affect the interests of all the wealthy families.
Zhang Yu's current method is more suitable for his thoughts. After all, he can easily destroy the order of a place and destroy the powerful people in the place as a rebel, turn the place into a piece of blank paper, and then apply it according to his own ideas.
"After saying so much, what is your choice?" Zhang Yu looked at the two of you, "Since you came to find me on your own initiative, you should have an answer in your heart, right?"
"……………” The two of them thought that Zhang Yu would be more tactful, but who knew that he was so straightforward and a little uncomfortable.
But being uneasy is uneasy, it is impossible for someone to wait for them too long.
With Taishan Academy, Zhang Yu has no shortage of talents at all. Instead, because of too many talents, he still needs to have a "scientific examination" to select talents.
What is "respecting the wise and the inferior" must be there, but the form is different. Just talking about their "guests" treatment yesterday is considered very high as prisoners. In terms of counting, this is actually "respecting the wise and the inferior" and it is just more practical.
"We are willing to serve the leader!" The two of them immediately expressed their opinions, and they could not look at each other and continued, "It's just that we have a very shallow knowledge. Can we go to the academy for a year to study?"
Chapter completed!
