Chapter 278 Ten Thousand Households (Second Change)
Under He Jinchao's rule, apart from Wanjiazhai, both tenants and military households quickly made their choices.

Most people are willing to join the Tuntian soldiers, anyway, they are regular soldiers when they fight.

Even if you are an auxiliary soldier, you only need to transport food, build roads and so on, what danger can there be?
And I heard that if he died in battle, He Jinzhao gave him a very generous treatment.

Many people hold the thought of dying one of their own on the battlefield in exchange for their own land and leaving it to their families.

Because their lives are cheap, even if they exchange for an acre of fertile land, that's a lot of money!
If you're lucky, you'll be safe and sound when you're transferred to serve as an auxiliary soldier!
The key is that after a few years, you can automatically get your own field without spending money.

This policy attracted many people to join the Tuntian soldiers.

The rest of the people choose private households, which is safer.

At the same time, they believe that as long as God feeds them and Fushi He does not levy taxes indiscriminately, they can save a lot of money.

The most important thing is that they can give those soldiers who go out to cultivate the land and get a certain amount of remuneration.

As long as you work hard, your life will definitely get better, and you will have the capital to buy your own land in the future.

He Jinzhao provided them with livestock, seeds, and farming tools. At the same time, he also asked everyone to fatten up, and they were not allowed to defecate anywhere.

Even if you pee, you have to sprinkle it on the field or near the fattening area.

In addition to plant ash as fertilizer, He Jinzhao already knows about manure.

He doesn't know much about other potash fertilizers.

He Jinzhao looked at the statistical rosters of the two counties and the villages and towns of each military fort.

The actual number of households under control is more than 5, and the population of private households and Tuntian households is almost [-].

This is simply a qualitative leap. When there is no population check, there are tens of thousands of households on the government roster, but in reality there are only three to four thousand households left.

The rest ran outside the Great Wall to farm for the Mongols.

Or a large number of young and strong dragged their families to build a city for the Mongols as escapees and stayed in Mongolia.

The army in He Jinchao's hands included 5000 old and weak artisan battalions in the logistics team, and the number of soldiers capable of fighting has also expanded to 5000.

Among them, more and more soldiers have joined the camp, and they are all eager to obtain the benefits of regular soldiers through military exploits.

Whether it's the Ming Dynasty's official army or the Mongols outside the Great Wall, when will they come?

The brothers' Yanling Sabers are already eager to drink blood.

"My lord, no matter how you look at it now, you can be called a real ten thousand householder!"

Ji Gui, the dog-headed military strategist, pinched his beard and joked.

This is the actual control area in Northwest Shanxi. As for the control of Jinzhong and other prefectures and counties, He Jinzhao did not manage much and let them be autonomous.

Before the government and army support Shanxi in large numbers, it is enough for these places to hand over the food on time.

He Jinzhao's expansion is too fast, and he lacks enough talents and scholars to contribute.

It has to be said that there are very few scholars near the border.

"Wan Huhou?" He Jinzhao couldn't help laughing as he closed the roster:
"Finally, I have not been busy these days. I will record all your hard work in my heart."

The two kept saying that it was not hard work.

He Jinzhao changed the subject: "These ten thousand households are the capital for my start-up.

Manage it with good intentions, in the future I will send people to investigate secretly, whether there is anything to do with oppressing the people. "

Yang Yuxiu said: "My lord, do you want to transfer people from the punishment room to deal with it? Are we still following the laws of Ming Dynasty?"

"Well, let's do this for now. If there is a dispute, you can report it to me. If there is a case, adjust the law according to the situation."

He Jinzhao responded, even though he listened to Zhang San, an outlaw lunatic every day, he couldn't remember so many legal rules!
"Yes."

"By the way, there is one more thing." He Jinzhao stood up: "We must cultivate talents, and schools are indispensable."

"My lord, how many students do we want to recruit? How many students will we charge? What will we teach?"

Facing the three questions from the dog-headed military strategist Ji Gui, He Jinzhao thought for a while:
"Eight to 20 years old, regardless of gender, can come to school for free for half a day.

In the afternoon, they can go to work in the fields, which is a must.

Anyone who does not send people of this age to school will be punished.

As for what to teach, literacy in the thousand-character script, as well as the arithmetic of the four arithmetic operations, simple handicrafts of craftsmen, and correct thinking, five days off and two days off.

Even old farmers can give them lectures about fattening and how to increase the yield per mu. "

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered, whoever has the best harvest this year between the same fertile land and dry land, I will give a reward."

"Yes."

Hearing He Jinzhao's idea, the other two were astonished, but then relieved.

Standing in front of him is He Jinzhao, the leader of the Hammer Bandit!
Wouldn't it be abnormal if he didn't do something out of the ordinary?
As for the matter of letting girls go to school, didn't those wealthy gentry never let their daughters go to the family's private school?

The educational level of some women in Ming Dynasty was higher than that of many men who took the imperial examination.

"My lord, there are so many teachers and math teaching materials, I'm afraid it's hard to find. I don't know what ideas the lord wants to convey?"

"Well, these are just things I have considered, you can also talk about it."

Yang Yuxiu was the first to cup his hands and said, "My lord, should the establishment of a school be like an imperial examination to train officials?"

He Jinzhao looked at the two of them and said, "That's right, this is just a junior school, screening talents who want to be officials.

Under my rule, if you want to be an official, you don't need to take the imperial examination, you have to enter the lecture hall to study.

Senior schools are the integration of military academies and local governments. They have to participate in practice to graduate, and they don't need to take many years of exams like imperial examinations.

As a result, after becoming an official, I don't know how to be an official. "

Yang Yuxiu quickly thought of the youngsters of the lord's nephew Li Dingguo. They are a group of people that the lord has cultivated vigorously. Their school is called the martial arts hall.

When Ji Gui heard this, he also smiled in his heart, and there will be no Jinshi Juren in the future.

He, who failed many people to pass the Jinshi exam, hated the imperial examination.

Now hearing that the lord wants to boycott the imperial examination, it is a gesture of support.

Among the officials under He Jinchao, none of them had passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi.

"Education is something that takes a long time." He Jinzhao walked with his hands behind his back:

"Now that we are starting a big business, there are many shortcomings in many places, but at least we must take firm steps forward."

"My lord's move will definitely benefit the descendants."

"Well, now let's start counting how many junior schools will be set up between the military forts in the village.

It doesn't matter whether the house is an ancestral hall or a house vacated by a gentry's family. "

He Jinzhao sat down on the chair again: "First recruit those who can read and write to teach Thousand Characters.

As for the remaining teachers who are vacant, I will recruit outstanding talents from my nephew Li Dingguo's youth camp to serve as teachers for one year first. "
