Chapter 455: Welcome, Steam! (5)(2/2)
Long live' and other greetings.
"There are many shops in Taiyuan City, and all kinds of businesses exist, which shows that the people in this city live a prosperous and prosperous life. There is no one with a dishy face, and the bright clothes show the wealth of Taiyuan."
Mo Cheng came to Shanxi more than a month before Zhu Yunwen. He was not good at lying, but he told the truth, which proved that what Zhu Yunwen saw in front of him was not a temporary show organized by Shanxi officials.
Looking and listening, Zhu Yunwen nodded: "It seems that Shanxi Buzheng Yamen has achieved results."
The main purpose of coming to Shanxi this time is of course steam engines, but it is also appropriate to take a look at the situation in Shanxi.
Shanxi's economic development in recent years is incredible. After all, large-scale coal mining has provided Shanxi with strong financial support. The imperial government's fiscal bills have maintained a 70/70 split between the central treasury and local governments in recent years.
Thirty percent is reserved for local governments for development, construction and additional subsidies for local government officials at all levels.
Of course, the number of this subsidy is a fixed number that fluctuates within a range according to the grade and position. It cannot be said that for a seventh-grade county magistrate, you can stretch out your hand and cross hundreds or thousands of taels of subsidy silver. Using this method to disguise corruption, then
It's to stick your head under the ghost head knife.
After the procession arrived at the Chief's Office, Zhu Yunwen stepped out of the carriage, and walked into the spacious and spacious Shanxi Chief's office, greeted by two lines of Shanxi civil and military officials.
Huang Fushou stood behind Zhu Yunwen, following step by step and making a succinct report: "As of last year, Shanxi had more than 1.537 million households and a population of 5.42 million.
In terms of taxation, Shanxi has implemented a policy of reducing taxes based on work. If one member of each household participates in other production tasks besides farming, the family's land tax of thirty-one tax will be exempted, and the loss will be borne by the chief envoy, encouraging the people to gradually get used to breaking away from the tradition.
Production and production diversification.”
The policy of reducing taxes based on work was the political achievement of the previous chief envoy Ding Jingfu, but the former was promoted to the central committee early, which was a blessing for Huang Fu, a latecomer.
Zhu Yunwen nodded from time to time, but after walking into the main hall of the government office, he still raised his hand: "Shanxi Province can just report the specific data and results to the cabinet. I'm not here to hear this. I'm here because I still want to see what the school has to say about education.
This area of construction.”
When asked about education, Huang Fu was well prepared and reported word for word and in a clear manner.
Regarding education, one of the important national policy directives issued in the past two years is about vigorously promoting education and building schools.
It was initially agreed at that time that one thousand schools would be completed within five years, which covered children's schools, junior schools and youth schools.
And each province is required to try its best to build a university in the provincial capital that is comparable to the Hanlin Academy.
If there are not enough teachers, we will postpone and wait for central allocation. A few years later, in addition to the Nanjing University built in Nanjing, there are only three local universities: Jiangxi University in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, and Shandong University in Jinan.
No other place can afford to build an independent university.
There is no shortage of teaching materials, but the main shortage is teachers.
The cabinet has begun to select a group of young Hanlin Langs from the Hanlin Academy for training, so that they can be sent to various provinces to provide teaching support.
Although this is a bit cruel to these Hanlin Lang.
Those who can enter the Hanlin Academy are the top ten in each province's provincial examination, and then the elites who pass the national examination are the echelon talents reserved by the central government. At present, there is no choice but to use them as teaching qualifications.
The policy given by the Ministry of Civil Affairs is to work for five years and then transfer back to Nanjing after a group of qualified teachers have been brought out from the local area. Priority will be given to job placement and promotion after annual inspections.
It’s true that Shanxi is rich, but its educational capabilities are even further behind. Shanxi really can’t produce top experts in the academic field these days.
In the early years, the frontier fortress was busy fighting wars, and it was easy to stabilize and develop. If I had time to study, I might as well dig coal with two shovels.
"It's impossible not to engage in education. We not only need to vigorously develop it, but also have to be down-to-earth and do it in a down-to-earth manner."
Zhu Yunwen gave Huang Fu an idea: "You see, Shanxi is not poor. I have heard this saying in Nanjing: a mountain of gold and silver is not as good as a mountain of coal.
Since you have money, don’t protect it. Attracting investment is to bring in hot money for construction, and recruiting talents is also for construction. At present, various provinces in Ming Dynasty have produced many famous craftsmen, and you are a major province in the coal industry. You can definitely introduce them to train them.
A batch of technical talents will be able to help you in drilling wells and increasing efficiency in the future.
At that time, I told Mo Cheng to keep the theory of the steam engine, and you can build more to help workers going down the well, so that their legs and feet will not be soaked by the water in the deep well for a long time."
"His Majesty's holy teachings have pointed out the path for education in Shanxi and I, and I will implement it immediately."
Huang Fuying agreed, and finally said with a shy face: "When preparations are made in the future, I hope your majesty can give me a name."
Chapter completed!
