Chapter 3213

On the second day of the arms exhibition, the North American region's booth had two extra large display boards, with eye-catching slogans on them listing the various preferential treatment provided by the North American authorities to immigrants and recruits.

The two exhibition boards that were rushed through the night cost a lot of money, and the cost of printing the two thousand leaflets before the Bilu Festival was quite high. However, Wang Anbang believed that this money was necessary, and it would definitely be worth it.

value.

After all, a good publicity opportunity like an arms exhibition might only come once during my return to China.

King Anbang of Bu Nao soon discovered that there were indeed many people coming to inquire about immigration policies, but there were far fewer people coming to learn about military recruitment information than yesterday.

Wang Anbang took advantage of the opportunity and walked around the exhibition hall, and soon discovered the clues.

Outside the exhibition venue, there were recruitment offices set up in many regions, but the most lively one was that of Donghai District, which had three floors inside and three floors outside. At least hundreds of people gathered around it.

If the banner of the "Recruiting Office" hadn't been hanging in the air, others would have thought that there was something special and strange on display there.

Of course, it is not difficult to understand that situation. Most of the people who come there to inquire about joining the army are from the areas around Hangzhou. Considering the distance from their hometown, they will of course be more willing to join the local army in the Donghai Region.

Although the North American region provides supporting services for new recruits to move their families, how many of them would decide whether to serve as soldiers and move their whole family to a strange place on the other side of the ocean? Is there more situations that exist in their own right?

Only those who are willing to immigrate will consider choosing to serve as a soldier after arriving in North America.

Wang Anbang had nothing to do with the innate home field advantage of the Donghai Region. He knew that the gap could only be solved by arranging a few more display boards and printing a few more flyers in order to recruit more soldiers.

This is available from those interested in migrating to North America in the East Leg.

Most of the people who came to see the exhibition were only curious about Haihan's armed forces and were not interested in serving as soldiers or immigrating overseas.

See with your own eyes the various powerful weapons and equipment of the Han Army in the East China Sea, and understand the glorious achievements of the Han Army in the East China Sea in the past, so as to add some things for you to talk about after dinner. That is the purpose of most people coming to the exhibition.

As for the officials, the significance of the arms exhibition is to subtly cultivate the people's awareness of ruthlessness through such activities and increase the acceptance of the new dynasty.

As for the various regions and armies taking advantage of this opportunity to promote recruitment and immigration, it’s just a question of whether they can take advantage of it. How much they can gain from that exhibition depends on their own abilities.

During this period, the inspection itineraries of the executive committee members were also in full swing. According to their respective division of labor, everyone had corresponding itinerary arrangements.

As the official in charge of Haihan science, education, culture and health affairs, Ning Qi's task is to inspect several academies, private schools, poetry and painting societies, as well as bookstores, printing shops and other cultural institutions in Hangzhou.

The first college Ning Qi visited was the famous Wansong College in Hangzhou.

The academy located on Fenghuang Mountain on the south side of West Lake was founded in the Zhenyuan period of the Tang Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years. It can be said to be the most influential academy in Hangzhou.

Hundreds of teachers and students from Wansong Academy in the east were waiting outside the academy gate in advance for Ning Qi's arrival.

Accompanying Ning Qi were several officials in charge of cultural and educational affairs in the Donghai Region. After the train, they introduced the person in charge of the academy and several well-known literati who were lecturers at the academy to Ning Qi.

Surrounded by people, Ning Qi walked through the Yangsheng Gate and entered the academy.

Wansong Academy covers a large area and has undergone four or five large-scale expansion projects during the Ming Dynasty alone. Successive local officials have attached great importance to Wansong Academy. After all, Wansong Academy takes the imperial examination as its training direction. From there,

Many of the literati who went abroad became officials and have always had a certain influence in the court.

Su Sixiao, the dean of the academy, introduced the general layout of the academy to Ning Qi. The main building there follows the official school structure of the "Zhi Temple Right School". The most important building on the left side of the central axis is the Confucius Hall for holding sacrificial activities.

, on the right is Mingdaotang, which is engaged in teaching activities.

Under the guidance of Su Sixiao and others, Ning Qi walked into the Confucius Hall to visit.

The hall enshrines not only Confucius, but also portraits of Fusheng Yanzi, Zongsheng Zengzi, Shushengzisi, and Yasheng Mencius. There are five slightly smaller portraits on the side wall, each of which is different.

According to Su Sixiao, Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhang Zai, and Zhu Xi, this is not a sacrificial error that only increased during the Wanli period.

Although Ning Qi was not a scholar, he did not have much favorable impressions of traditional Confucianism and Cheng-Zhu theory. Seeing that Wansong Academy still enshrined those people on the altar, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

Bu Nao Ning Qi didn't say anything. He just walked around the hall without paying homage to the ancestors enshrined in the Confucius Hall. The courtyard had prepared incense, candles and various sacrificial vessels, but Dong Fu didn't send any of them.

In use.

Su Sixiao was also unsure of Ning Qi's pulse. Seeing that he had little interest in paying homage to the sages, he even took him to see where the academy lectures.

The Mingdao Hall where lectures are held is a separate courtyard. The main hall is used for several classrooms where classes are usually held. The wing rooms on the left and right sides are respectively Juren and Yuyi. There are two study halls, each with several rooms.

, for teachers and students to use for self-study.

Ning Qi walked into the classroom in the main hall and saw stacks of books on the desk, so he flipped through a few books. At that glance, he saw something was wrong.

"Didn't the academy start teaching new courses?" Ning Qi asked with some displeasure.

Su Sixiao even went to bow and responded: "Sir, have the textbooks been sent to the college? It's because the college is currently short of teachers."

Compared with Hainan Island, where Haihan has been deeply involved for many years, the cultural system in Hangzhou is obviously more traditional. Almost all educational institutions still follow the methods of the Ming Dynasty, using the Four Books and Five Classics as their main teaching materials.

This does not mean that Shi Diwen has no intention of promoting the Haihan-style cultural and educational system locally, but the time he took over Hangzhou is too short, and it is difficult to replace the regulations of the Ming Dynasty with something from Haihan.

Those masters who devoted their whole lives to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism found it difficult to understand and accept the teaching content promoted by Haihanqiu in a short period of time, and naturally they could not teach it to their students.

If Haihan wants to replace those teaching teachers, it also needs to invest a lot of manpower. At present, almost all the educational talents trained by Haihan can find employment in the south. The Donghai Region has a long-term shortage of teacher resources, so it is inevitable.

The situation that Ning Qi saw will occur.
