"Well! You have a good idea. Putting aside the struggle for power and profit, Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy should be built! Dominate the three things of copper, iron and salt. No one has done this in the past! But what should you do about the taxes of the court?

I am not familiar with the Westernization Movement, so Minghu will inevitably neglect the Westernization Movement. It is a good way to set up a Westernization Academy, but is Ge Shiyang available?

Western silver skills, just learn some guns, guns, boats, and you can also foreignize the three types of copper, iron and salt, which may damage the country’s foundation! After learning the Western Demon things, are these scholars still scholars? How much advantage does this Western Affairs work have?"

Fundamentally speaking, Wei Wu did not support the Western Affairs Office, but he was in Yunnan and had no choice but to get involved in some Western Affairs Office affairs before, and Wei Wu was forced to do so. The starting point for studying the Western Affairs Office was mostly to check and balance Yang Laosan.

It is said that people who come out and work and go in and rest. The self-sufficient chickens, ducks, dogs and sheep are the ideal life of the people in Wei Wu. What is the good thing about this Westernization? In Guangzhou, Lin Zexu learned a lot and was destroyed by foreigners, making Guangzhou everyone seek profit and impetuous. This is not a good thing in Wei Wu's opinion.

His three questions were also considered. There are quite a lot of taxes in the three classes of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Can the Yang family easily give it up? Is it possible for Ge Shiyang to be a missionary and slander Confucians? And how much benefits can the Westernization Movement bring?

"The taxes should be paid, but the finances in Yunnan cannot be self-sufficiency, so how can there be a saying that taxes are paid? Sichuan and Guizhou's copper and salt affairs have made the Yunnan copper stall bigger, and it would be good if the court asked for money. He was still thinking about asking for taxes?

As for Ge Shiyang, he is far more suitable than you. His family, brothers and children are all in Yunnan. He is not available, and no one in Yunnan can use it!

As for the benefits of the Westernization Movement, you can see the Xishan Iron Factory! These dozens of blast furnaces alone can produce millions of kilograms of pig iron a year, which is enough to produce in a province in Yunnan. What do you think is the benefits of the Westernization Movement?

The last trip to Guangzhou, I heard that there were already iron-shelled ships and inland iron-shelled gunboats in the West. Think about it! An inland steamer, which travels twelve hours a day, is stormy and carries tens of thousands of kilograms of cargo, travels a thousand miles a day, and there are those trains you have heard of.

If I use trains and ships to transport materials in my Xishan Iron Factory, the output will be larger and more. This is the benefit of the Westernization Movement. It is good to learn when you are fine. Your vision and experience are available, but the view of governing the world is just waste, which is absolutely unusable to me."

Yang Meng had already planned these things, but it was nothing to do with the Yunnan copper and then to Beijing. As for gold and silver, it would be fine. Wei Wu is half-waste now. As long as this big problem is missing, Yiliang will be completely stable. Now it is time to plan the matter of Xishan.

Wei Wu was also suppressed by what Yang Meng said. The Xishan Iron Factory did not expect that the output was so huge. Yang Laosan had hidden himself in such a hardship! He thought that all the affairs in his hands could not tell the truth from the false when he arrived. He was not unfair to defeat this battle.

"The staff at Minghu Academy are not discounted, right?"

Although Wei Wu's ambitions have been destroyed tonight, it is difficult to guarantee that he has no other twists and turns. The surveillance of Wei Wu during this period of time must not be relaxed, so don't be fooled by this old annihilation thief.

"No, most of the people who came here are miscellaneous people who are unintentional in their studies. These people are either addicted to verification or strange silver skills, which are hard to see. If the Third Master had not given the instructions before, I would not have wanted any such person.

This time you want a family, so I will ask the surname to sweep them here. There are a few of these 100 people who have scholars and fame, and all the others are useless families, with only a few more than twenty students."

In Wei Wu's eyes, those who do not read classics, history, and collections are miscellaneous masters. No matter how much you read, it is useless. You can't use these miscellaneous studies on the right path of the imperial examination. What's the use of learning?

The deep-rooted ideas for decades will not be changed easily. Although they were defeated by Yang Laosan, Wei Wu's views did not change much.

"Hmph...students are the most important. Is this group of people quite old?"

It would be strange if there was no discount. After listening to Wei Wu's words, Yang Meng could guess that most of the people he sent were unsatisfactory scholars. They had no money or status, so they could only read some miscellaneous books to relieve their sorrows and boredom, so that they could lead the way. Being students of Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, these people were not qualified.

"Most of them are up at the age of thirty, and the oldest is 69."

Wei Wu didn't react much, and he was defeated tonight and was completely defeated. He was asked by Yang Meng with a face and asked him.

"After going back, select a group of smart students, knowledgeable and good at adapting, and the number of people should not be less than one hundred. In the future, Minghu Academy will be divided into part of the students for Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, and the number will be temporarily set at half!

All the good seedlings were sent to Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, the people from Zhongping stayed at Minghu Academy, and those who were incompetent were sent to the business school. This is the standard for dispatching personnel in the future."

The two of them walked slowly and could already see Ge Shiyang and the group of people from Minghu Academy.

"Half? All the seedlings are good? What should I do if Minghu Academy? It's the foundation of the Yang family!"

All the good seedlings were poached, which was a big deal that concerns scholars. If Yang Laosan did this, Confucianism would gradually wither, and his heart would be punished!

"It's true that the foundation is the foundation. Minghu Academy will train officials from all over the country in the future. Zhongpingzhi has enough talent. After going back, I will get a set of governance textbooks and I will change it for you. Let's start cultivating them now!

As for the accounting offices trained by business schools, now they just need to do things according to the rules and learn to read."

In order to stabilize the Yang family's steps in the early stage, Yang Meng ignored many things. The next focus was on Xishan, and other matters had to be placed in the back.

"But this will hurt the vitality of scholars! Third Master, you have picked out all the good seedlings. Who will read this book? Are those talents from Zhongping?"

"Who will read the book? This is a good question, and my answer is: Don't read it!"

"How can you know etiquette without reading? How can you know advancement and retreat without reading? How can you know how to have a new dynasty without reading?"

"What do you do when you read books? It's not for the imperial examination. If we don't study in the future, we have to use books! Use everything in the books.

Didn’t I ask you to make some masters? We will choose the things that bind people’s hearts and don’t use them ourselves. When we have the opportunity, we will use them on foreigners.

And those things that are useful to us are also selected and used on ourselves. This is my original intention of establishing Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy.

Confucius' "The Analects of Confucius" has been written for two thousand years. Do you know how many books it has derived from this book?

Give useless things to the enemy, leave useful things to enjoy for yourself, and produce more useful things. The same is true for Western things. Let’s keep what is useful and carry forward the useless things to pack and add materials to them.

That’s all for us today. If there are any questions, let’s go to your house in Kunming City and we will discuss it again.”

Just leave Wei Wu with a framework, Yang Meng didn’t have the heart to debate with him. Now Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy is the top priority.

"All right……"

Is this considered attracting a wolf into the house? Looking at Yang Meng's back, Wei Wu's heart was full of bitterness.

"Have you met the Third Master!"

"Well! You are pretty good at it. It seems that you have enjoyed your life in Minghu. Do you know what I want to do if I invite you here overnight?"

Wei Wu did a good job in Minghu Academy. Regardless of whether it is true or not, at least these scholars have to polite themselves when they see them. This thing is a habit after a long time. As for whether they are willing or not, Yang Meng doesn’t care!

Regarding the question of Mr. Yang San, most people were shaking their heads. Those who were not moving seemed to be pretending to behave and could guess what they were going to do. Such a person is at least scheming enough, so it would be good to try it.

"Why can no one guess it? Let's do it! Let's get a lottery, who guessed the bounty of 100 taels?

Pan Gui, prepared the paper and pen flowers to let them guess the intentions of the Third Master.

If you send the paper and pen, it will be explained within ten words. If you don’t know, don’t write randomly. The right person has other benefits in addition to a hundred taels of gold. Don’t forget to sign on their own paper!”

Pan Gui took the man's hands and sent the paper and pen. More than a hundred people began to think about Yang Meng's thoughts.

Ten characters and his own name, but I know if it is OK. After Pan Gui sent the people to send the back, he began to collect the paper in front. He threw the words aside and left the words. Unexpectedly, his paper-swinging action attracted the blame from his brother-in-law.

"Pick up the paper, why should you discard it at will? No penny should be spent without money, and no penny should be spent! Pick it up!"

Pan Gui was used to being generous to Ping Yueli. Unexpectedly, when his brother-in-law Yang Meng showed his timidity, he was beaten to death. He had to listen to his brother-in-law's words. Pan Gui turned around and picked up the white paper thrown on the ground.

After picking up the paper, he presented more than twenty pieces of paper with words on it.

"read!"

"It is Cao's suspicion to plan to rebuild an iron factory."

"Dian bronzes are back, Li Mingfu."

"The third master has his own arrangements, Sun Chenghan."

"The wise and magical martial arts are not the third master, Liu Yichen."

"The Westernization of Western Studies and Prosperous Western Studies in Yunnan, Tan Yubin."

...

"Not bad! Someone else guessed that Tan Yubin had a reward of 500 taels; Li Mingfu had a reward of 300 taels; Cao's suspicion was a reward of 100 taels.

If you don’t know about the other bounty for the blank paper, you won’t write it. It means you are honest and should be rewarded!

As for those who flatter, just look at the situation. Even if you flatter, you can’t learn how to flatter.”

After Yang Meng finished speaking, most of them breathed a sigh of relief, while the few Hushou wrote could only sigh in a low voice.

Most of the people who entered Minghu Academy were poor scholars, and ten taels of gold were definitely not a small amount.

"I want to build Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy, with Master Ge as the dean. Tan Yubin, Li Mingfu, and Cao Zhi, are you three willing to assist Master Ge?"

After receiving the affirmative answer from the three of them, Yang Meng glanced at them. Tan Yubin is the youngest, in his thirties, with a dark and strong face, and his eyes are bright and not squinting. He should be a responsibilities.

Cao Zhi was in his forties, which was exactly the opposite of Tan Yubin. However, he was as thin as Xu Ziwei. He had a bit of vulgar facial features, with two rat whiskers and his eyes were swaying. He looked like a speculative person.

Li Mingfu is the oldest and most stable among the three. He should be in his fifties! He has a medium body, a slightly thicker hands and feet, a vicissitudes of life, and his eyes are slightly turbid, but his eyes are firm, so he should be a practical man.

"Tan Yubin is the deputy of Master Ge, that is, the vice president of Xishan Academy, and will share the worries of Master Ge.

Cao Zhi suspected that he was a foreign affairs manager and was responsible for the personnel affairs of the academy. Li Mingfu, who was a domestic affairs manager and was responsible for the various affairs distributed by the academy.

These positions are only temporary. If you are well done, you will continue to sit. If you are not well done, you will give up your position and sit for those who are well done."

Yang Meng said and looked at it. When talking about Tan Yubin, most people were envious, when talking about Cao's suspicion, most people were not convinced, and when talking about Li Mingfu, most people showed admiration. It seemed that the work he was doing was done, and the gold was not gray.

"I've been busy for most of the time, so you're tired too! The meal is ready. I'll have some food later. I'll have something to do after I finish it.

I'll tell you a little bit about the Westernization, but let's not talk about the Westernization. When you eat, you will read the things in your mind to see if there is any knowledge about casting, mathematics, charity, charity, geography, etc. that we can use to do things. After the meal, I'll listen to you."

Those students and scholars ate big pot rice, Yang Meng, Wei Wu, Ge Shiyang, and Pan Gui were eating small dishes.

"Third Master, I just used a few words to identify talents. This move is amazing! With a total of nine points, Wei Wu is not as good as that!

Tan Yubin is a character, but he is fond of miscellaneous studies and has nullified his qualifications. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would concentrate on studying and taking the imperial examinations, the government officials could do it.

Li Mingfu was unlucky. He read books well but failed to achieve his merits in the imperial examinations. He could only study some miscellaneous studies. After years of accumulation, his mediocre skills were the deepest among the three.

Cao Zhi suspected that he was a real villain, stingy and harsh. Although he looked vulgar, his scheming was not too bad. Is he a good foundation in miscellaneous learning? This person learned all the wrong ways and asked him to manage his personnel, but it was the best thing to do, just to guard against his greed problem."

After being defeated by Yang Meng, Wei Wu was increasingly unable to see through Yang Laosan. One after another, Yang Laosan's figure became more and more oppressive. Looking at Yang Laosan, Wei Wu could not even raise the idea of ​​fighting now.

"Haha! By chance, just random collisions! Master Ge, if you finish eating, go over and give them some basic information, smelting iron, forging steel, smelting copper, casting cannons, mining, cooking salt, and building water conservancy. These things are all what I want. You go over and sell them a good one.

When I hear them say it later, there will not be too much nonsense, which will waste our time. Master Ge, you'd better make a notebook. If someone says something useful to you, write down the name of the person and talk about it in detail later. I just want to give them one tonight, and I attach great importance to the impression of Xishan.

Brother Gui, you follow Master Ge, who dares to be disrespectful to Master Ge, drag it out and deal with it hard.” (To be continued.)
