Chapter 390 Open various professional schools and release slaves!

  For the powerful and bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty, they suffered heavy losses, but they could only accept the reality.

  After seeing Wang Bin arrested by Xichang and sentenced by Ming Zhengdian, although these rich and powerful bureaucrats breathed a sigh of relief, they still inevitably had to cut down on their own expenses and live frugally.

   "The imperial court issued a strict order a long time ago that it is not allowed to keep Han people as slaves. Therefore, today, in order to follow the imperial court's decree, I will send you out of the house and go to find your own way of life."

  In order to save money, these powerful bureaucrats had to take the initiative to raise the banner of the imperial court's decree that prohibits slavery, and began to take the initiative to dismiss the slaves in their own houses.

  Wu Qinghou Li Chengming spoke to a group of servants who were about to be sent out of the mansion.

  It turns out that although the Ming court ordered the prohibition of keeping Han people as slaves very early, it did not enforce it.

   Once this policy comes, it cannot be enforced.

  First of all, the Han people offered themselves to big households as slaves, mostly on their own initiative.

  If these Han people are not allowed to be slaves, these Han people will still be unhappy.

  Secondly, it is said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Large households keep slaves in the name of adopted sons and daughters. Even if they really want to investigate, they still can’t understand.

   Therefore, in the decree of the Ming court to give Han people greater freedom, the policy of prohibiting slavery is not as easy to see tangible results as the abolition of the military household and medical household systems and the humble registration system.

  It will only give slaves great changes and help in the law when curbing specific cases where the master beats his own servant to death or the slave sues the master.

  However, many slaves still lived with their masters, and were dependent economically, and even in life.

  Turning back, now that Marquis Li Chengming of Wuqing sent these servants out of the mansion, these servants naturally didn't want to, so they all cried and clamored that they refused to leave.

  For the servants who are used to serving their masters in rich families and earning a living without hard work every day, they are naturally unwilling to go out to make a living by themselves.

  But they can’t do it if they don’t want to. Who made the Marquis of Wuqing’s Mansion, which is the main family, suffer heavy losses and cannot afford to support so many people.

  Other dignitaries and bureaucrats who suffered heavy losses in this Ponzi fraud incident also drove many servants out of the house.

  These servants who were kicked out of the mansion were confused and lost.

In the past, they could rely on the power of their masters, pretend to be majestic, and even ride on the heads of ordinary people to do their best, and they didn't work hard, except for a few who were specially recruited into the government because of their skills. Most of them can only sit and eat with their accumulated silver, not knowing how to make a living.

   It means that there are a lot of unemployed and useless people who have no technical ability in the society.

   And this naturally needs to be resolved by the court.

The imperial court must turn these useless and jobless people who came from the powerful and bureaucratic families into useful people; it must also let these people change from only serving the masters and young ladies to being able to serve the entire society, at least relying on their own hands. live a normal life.

  “To turn these useless and jobless people who came from powerful bureaucrats into people useful to society, naturally we can only run schools first, teach students according to their aptitude, and also carry out ideological transformation.”

"So in my humble opinion, the Ministry of Civil Affairs must first use a sum of money from the benefit treasury to build a number of specialized schools, such as an agricultural school for farming, a labor school for all kinds of crafts, a literature school for literature, and a school for education. Martial arts school and so on."

   Zhang Gui therefore raised the idea of ​​how to solve this problem in the Planning Department.

  Chen Zizhuang said: "It is necessary to run a school, but where is the school?"

   "And you need to consider the question of whether it is fair or not!"

"The children of the rich and powerful bureaucrats all over the world and the children of serious backgrounds all over the world enter official schools and even have to take exams. Why can these Han people who were born as slaves go directly to government-run junior colleges and wait to be trained and assigned to work everywhere? ? People in the world are only afraid to ask the three words 'why'."

   Zhang Gui said after hearing this: "If you choose where to set up the school, you will actually solve the problem of whether it is fair or not."

"In my humble opinion, it is entirely possible to set up these specialized government schools in remote and remote areas, especially in some places outside the customs. We can take this opportunity to set up some agricultural and medical government schools. In the name of running a school, increase the number of people in the country. The population outside the customs."

"At the same time, it's not just about recruiting slaves, but Han people all over the world can sign up to study. It's just that ordinary Han people who are from a good family and are not at the end of the mountain will definitely not want to go to some remote places to study. Only these For the servants who have just left the mansion, besides being arranged by the court to receive training in these places, what other way out do they have?"

   "It may not be all as Uncle Guo thought. The Han people who have no future in the world will really be willing to go outside the customs to receive training, live a normal life, establish a career, and marry a wife and have children."

"I'm afraid that even if there are many landless people who are willing to be sent overseas by the imperial court to divide the land, there will always be a group of people who would rather be a beggar than leave their hometowns The same people are the same, these servants who have long been used to serving others and not working in big families are afraid that they will refuse to work and study."

   "Perhaps, they would rather continue to serve as slaves to other rich families, go to temples as monks, or even **** themselves into the palace, rather than choose to be a person who builds a business with his own hands."

  Yuan Keli poured cold water on Zhang Gui, and based on his actual experience, he put forward his own views.

  After all, Yuan Keli, as a child of the Guide family, knows the servants of the family very well.

Zhang Gui pondered for a while, and said: "I really want to be a beggar, I want to get something for nothing, I don't even need to lose my dignity, that's okay. But these people had better not commit crimes, as long as they commit crimes, they have to be exiled, exiled outside the pass to be their slaves beggar."

   "That's the only way to go."

  Yuan Keli nodded.

   "Tianjin Shipbuilding Academy is recruiting sailor apprentices, including room and board. After learning to be a sailor, they will be arranged to serve as sailors on major ships. The primary selection will recruit 500 people first, first come first served..."

   Once the national policy is agreed upon by the Planning Department, it will basically be approved by the apocalypse.

  Therefore, one afternoon in the late autumn of the 11th year of Tianqi, a series of government schools established according to needs began to appear on Qipan Street outside Daming Gate to recruit people.

   Zhang Gui, who was dressed in casual clothes, was also sitting in a nearby teahouse watching this scene.

   To Zhang Gui's relief, although many people wandering in the streets ignored the recruiting matters of these major government schools, many people still walked towards these recruiting schools and asked about the admission policies.

Xie Qian, the servant who was dispatched from You Tongzheng Han's family, was coming out of the temporary admissions office of the Recruiting Sailor School of Tianjin Shipbuilding School, holding a stamped registration form, and looked at his hands , sighed:

   "From now on, I really have to rely on my own hands to live."

   Xie Qian asked Jiao An, the servant who was sent out with him, "Brother Jiao, how about you, really don't want to enroll in a school and learn a craft, so that there will be a way out in the future?"

  Jiao An didn't look at Xie Qian's registration form, and said with a cold smile: "Even if I die of poverty and starvation, I will never learn any crafts!"

"When I was a slave in the Han family, I didn't have to think about eating and dressing. Why do I have to do hard things that I didn't do before when I'm a serious person now. Instead of doing this, why not go to the palace and continue to be a slave? Slave, maybe you can be called an internal minister!"

   "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, so I wish my brother a speedy success."

   Xie Qian bowed and said, "Let's part now!"

  Zhang Gui happened to see this scene and also heard the conversation between the two, so he ordered Liu Zongmin on a whim: "Send someone to watch these two people!"

"yes!"
