...

Upon hearing this, Zhou Feng immediately said to Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, his subordinates have reported to the Civil Affairs Department about the treatment of the teacher for the coming year, and the plan they gave has also been put forward."

As he said that, Zhou Feng was about to turn around to find the Wencai, but was stopped by Liu Ce: "You just want to pick up the important thing with me, there is no need to look for it anymore..."

Zhou Feng stopped and sat in front of Liu Ce and said, "Mr. Military Supervisor, the treatment of the Civil Affairs Department gave the approval of the General Teachers is that in addition to the fixed income and accommodation of 4 taels of silver per month, the regular teacher plans to add two items: travel allowances and bonus subsidies.

The travel allowance is 2 taels of silver per month. If the bonus is limited to one semester, it depends on the performance of the teacher. The maximum is 150 taels and the minimum is 37 taels. Of course, these are tentative. Deletion and modification are required after implementation.

As for those excellent teachers, their monthly salary doubled, that is, eight taels of silver, and their travel allowance was three taels, and the others were the same as ordinary teachers…”

Liu Ce nodded slightly and said, "Add one extra item, the teacher's medical fee and the amount of treatment are equivalent to that of the sixth rank of officials in each department. You must not be negligent when it comes to teaching teachers. They must be given the respect they deserve.

As long as they are willing to teach each other with all their hearts, students can be cultivated into adults, so that the fate of the people will change in the future. In addition, this military supervisor plans to open a technical school.

I am about to be in the next year, the first grade of primary school students will soon be admitted. At that time, if one of the students is admitted, seven out of ten will be eliminated from a hundred people. Most of the children who have fallen into school are only eleven or twelve years old.

Except for a few people who will continue to repeat the exam, most people basically have no chance of school. It is not enough for them to learn to read and learn a skill to gain a foothold in the world.

Therefore, these children who have not been admitted to middle school may not be able to do better than those who have become officials in the future if they fail to get into middle school. They may also add various talents to the officials in the future..."

Zhou Feng frowned and said to Liu Ce: "What the Chief Military Supervisor said is so good. My subordinates will contact the Agricultural Affairs Department and the Craftsman Department, but they are afraid that General Gan of the Civil Affairs Department will not agree to the approval..."

Liu Ce said: "This military governor will go to talk to Gan Zhaoyang. You should prepare for the affairs of various technical schools, teachers and related funds. I will allocate them to you as soon as possible. In short, you must not slacke in this matter. The sooner you make the decision, the better!"

After saying that, Liu Ce got up and prepared to step out of the Education and Culture Department.

Seeing this, Zhou Feng hurriedly called Liu Ce: "Mr. Military Governor, please stay..."

Liu Ce turned around and asked, "What else is there?"

Zhou Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Military Governor, please forgive me for being brave. This is the chief chief of the Education Department..." When he said this, Zhou Feng didn't know how to speak. After all, it was embarrassing to take the initiative to speak for the official.

Liu Ce stared at Zhou Feng for a while and said for a long time: "After the problems facing the Education and Education Department are solved, our military governor will step down as the General Office. However, whether you can be competent depends on your ability to decide..."

It turns out that Liu Ce has always been a part-time position in the General Office of the Education and Chemical Industry Department. He has never changed people for several years. The purpose is to wait until the first primary school graduation and determine the correct direction of his education before he can rest assured.

It can be seen that he attaches great importance to education, no less than military...

Upon hearing this, Zhou Feng bowed respectfully and said confidently: "Please rest assured, Mr. Military Governor, I will definitely make everyone look at you with admiration!"

Liu Ce nodded, said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the gate to the Civil Affairs Department.

...

In the Civil Affairs Department, Liu Ce and Gan Zhaoyang exchanged their own suggestions on the situations under their rule...

Gan Zhaoyang said: "From the information from the Agriculture Department, the Craftsman Department, the Science and Technology Department, the Tax Department, and the Commerce Department, the Political Situation in the Far East is not stable, and there are too many areas that need improvement.

The Agricultural Department reported that the gentry of each province owns thousands of hectares of fertile land, and most of the farmers have become tenants. It is not easy to reach the level of Jizhou.

The Business Department came to report that the business of Yan, Liu and Yi provinces was monopolized by local families by more than 90%. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to make a living by doing business.

In cooperation with the Taxation Department, the big gentry had no record of paying taxes at all. They were very resistant to the tax rates issued by the Military Governor's Office. The taxes that should have been paid were transferred to the people, and the prices of all kinds of goods, especially daily necessities, increased by 30%.

Now even the people are very dissatisfied with the actions of our military governor and do not cooperate with the development of all civil affairs work.

There was also a joint report from the Department of Engineering and Science and Technology. The conditions of the craftsmen who visited from all over the country were very harsh, and the agricultural tools produced were not enough to be deeply cultivated, and the grain output was not enough to increase at all.

The harvest of one acre of land is only about 70 kilograms, which is less than half compared to the highest one stone under our jurisdiction in Jizhou. However, they refused to change the current situation, and their subordinates were also a little surprised..."

After listening to Gan Zhaoyang's words, Liu Ce was very tired. It was difficult to popularize the policies that benefit the people in a place controlled by aristocratic families, which is very different from Jizhou.

After all, Jizhou's policies can be implemented without any hindrance because Jizhou has been in chaos all year round, and influential families have moved their families into internal relocation, giving Liu Ce a great room for development.

In addition, the tribe outside the Great Wall that had not formed a huge aristocratic system, and after all, it was an interest group that "if you have milk, you are a mother", which was not a problem at all.

But the families in the Far East are different. They are deeply rooted here. Even if the Jiang family is gone, there are still many hard-core and diehard factions who are in charge, so it is impossible for them to be determined to cooperate with them.

Liu Ce thought for a moment and said to Gan Zhaoyang: "Then have you asked the Security Department to cooperate and take some measures to implement?"

Gan Zhaoyang shook his head and said, "Mr. Military Governor, my subordinates have thought about using some extreme methods, but the situation does not allow it. It's okay for Yizhou to say, but Yanzhou and Liuzhou cannot be too extreme..."

Liu Ce slid his eyes and said, "Continue..."

Gan Zhaoyang said: "The people in Liuzhou are extremely tough. Even the Hulan people did not dare to enter the Liuzhou situation easily," he said.

It is reported that most of this province were exiled to those who committed the crimes. If the troops surrender to the local aristocratic families, if there is a mistake, wouldn’t it cause another chaos in the Far East?

In Yanzhou, compared with Liuzhou, we dare not take action easily. You know, Mr. Qin, the family of Qin, is deeply rooted in Yanzhou. Our Civil Affairs Department dare not provoke easily. Not to mention what Mr. Qin would think, we are even more afraid that the local people would attack, which would have a great impact on the reputation of the Military Administrator..."

Liu Ce was silent for a while after hearing this, nodded and said, "The situation in the Far East is indeed more complicated than what the military governor thought. He thought that he could do whatever he wanted with military power, but it seemed that he was too presumptuous. Just do not worry, deal with things one by one.

On the 24th day of the first lunar month, the news that a new department examination will be added will be published in the newspaper tomorrow. The entire Far Eastern provinces will be recruited and teachers and craftsmen will be recruited. The military governor's office will urgently need teachers. Men and women are not limited. They will be admitted according to their talents and will be treated with the best treatment.

Then criticize the corrupt scholars of Lu and make their reputations worse, the better. Do you understand what I mean..."

Gan Zhaoyang was stunned, then shook his head blankly: "I would like to ask the military governor to show me, but my subordinates don't understand..."

Liu Ce said: "In fact, it is just a sentence that distracts the people's attention, so that the influence of the aristocratic families in their minds can be weakened."

Gan Zhaoyang suddenly realized and said to Liu Ce sincerely: "Mr. Military Supervisor is smart, my subordinates understand..."

Liu Ce's expression was calm and continued to say to Gan Zhaoyang: "As for the Qin family in Yanzhou, the Japanese military governor will visit him in person in the future and talk to them about what they want to do. Don't worry about it anymore..."

"As for orders..."

Gan Zhaoyang bowed and bowed, stood up and said to Liu Ce, "Mr. Military Governor, Jizhou College, Zhu Zenglin, a teacher, came to the Civil Affairs Department a few days ago. He wanted to add a science and technology to the school, and hoped to get the support of the Military Governor's Office.

My subordinates think it is important and dare not make any decisions. Today I would like to ask the military governor to give me some advice. Do you agree with his opinion?"

"Mo Xue?" Liu Ce muttered and asked, "How is Zhu Zenglin performing in the school?"

Gan Zhaoyang replied: "It's quite outstanding. The Education and Chemical Department has sent a request for excellent teacher qualifications. Gong Jiexin is also promoted with him..."

Liu Ce thought for a while and said, "Then let's wait for a trial next year, but it must be strictly reviewed. But this military governor is very curious, why did Zhu Zenglin bypass the Education and Chemical Department and directly contact you the Civil Affairs Department?"

Gan Zhaoyang replied: "Mr. Military Governor, Confucianism and Mohism are the same as water and fire. Deputy Secretary Zhou is a lineage of Confucianism, how could Zhu Shushi mention the suggestion of opening Mohism with him..."

"Um……"

Liu Ce still felt that Gan Zhaoyang's explanation made a lot of sense. It was impossible for the Mohist scholars to be like Huangfu Zhai to be a freak. It was impossible for the Mohist scholars to let go of the persecution of Confucianism over the years.

Putting aside the topic of Mohism, Liu Ce said again: "By the way, how is the preparations for the Education and Chemistry Middle School going on?"

Gan Zhaoyang said: "Everything is being handled in an orderly manner. A total of 12 middle schools in Jizhou, Youzhou, Yuanzhou and Dingzhou have laid foundations and can be completed in half a year..."

Liu Ce said: "In addition, several other technical schools will be opened to give students who graduated from primary schools a place to pay attention to it. We must not relax and treat it differently."

Gan Zhaoyang sighed in embarrassment: "Mr. Military Governor, the Civil Affairs Department's budget is probably not enough..."

Liu Ce said: "Just make a plan and don't worry about money. I will ask Mr. Qin to continue allocating it to you. In short, education must be fully developed. In the future, you will know that everything you give today is worth it..."

Gan Zhaoyang nodded and said, "To be honest, if you pay so much attention to people's livelihood education, you are the only one in the world..."

Liu Ce ignored Gan Zhaoyang's words and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he said to Gan Zhaoyang: "The people are weak and the country will decline. Our military governor is to change the situation where the people in the Central Plains are weak, so that the real prosperity can be achieved.

The ignorant prosperity of the people is just the self-inflation of the upper rulers, and this military governor is unwilling to follow their footsteps."

By the time Gan Zhaoyang recalled this sentence, Liu Ce had already stepped out of the Civil Affairs Department and disappeared into his eyes.

"Mr. Military Governor, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world if you do this? The people's hearts are important, but you should also think about your reputation. Forget it, Military Governor is not afraid. What else can I be afraid of?"
