Chapter 156 Credit System

On the seventh day of September, early in the morning, Xue Shu, magistrate of Dinghai County, hurried to the residence of Yinghai Envoy, and found that not only Zhu Yuan got up early today, but also many officials from the Navy Commander's Mansion and Yinghai Division gathered here, including the Navy Commander Hua Gao.

Said it was an emergency meeting.

After the notification, Xue Shu was allowed to enter Mingyuan Hall.

The meeting has started.

Xue Shufang entered the door with light steps, found a seat at the end of the wide long table and sat down, looked around, besides Mr. Ying Haisi who was talking, he also found Liu Lian, the secretary of Ying Haisi who was on the east side of the long table. Once I was bowing my head and seriously taking minutes of the meeting.

Xue Shu knew that Liu Lian would write for important matters.

In addition, I also noticed that Dai Sanchun, who has become famous in Mingzhou and even the entire southeast by virtue of the penicillium treatment and the cure of the Naval Commander's childless disease, is sitting next to Liu Lian today, with a serious expression on his face.

This made Xue Shu nervous.

What happened, how could I not know?

Thinking in his heart, Xue Shu quickly turned his attention to Zhu Yuan on the right side of his head and listened carefully.

"...The way of transmission of this disease, between people, should be respiratory transmission, so it is the most potent. There is also between humans and animals, mainly rats, which is why it is called plague. Speaking of it, rats can There are a lot of diseases that spread. For the Yinghai Division and the Navy Commander's Mansion, this means that rodent control in the cabin is very important. My idea is to raise cats, and the specific measures will be discussed later..."

"...In addition, the treatment of this disease, in addition to the traditional prescription of the right medicine, is also because it is a bacterial infection. If I remember correctly, Yersinia pestis, then if the antibiotics can be successfully extracted from the mold in the future, it will be possible Treat the root cause of the disease..."

"...but it will take time..."

"...This disease is in Europe...a continent about 30 to [-] miles away from our extreme west. The outbreak there has ended, and it is said that [-]% of the population died because of it. If my guess is correct, two or three decades ago, A similar epidemic has also spread to China, but even in troubled times, we have stopped the spread of the epidemic by relying on the good epidemic prevention mechanism and superior medical methods accumulated for thousands of years..."

"...Europe can't, because they lack the overall epidemic prevention mechanism coordinated by the country, and they don't have the mature medical science like our traditional Chinese medicine. As a result, small-scale transmission has continued, and it may not stop for hundreds of years..."

"...a land of barbarians..."

"...Furthermore, bacterial infection...I don't quite remember whether I will produce antibodies, maybe I will, maybe I won't, but from the common sense I figured out last night, protein antibodies can only deal with gene fragments It must be difficult to deal with single-celled bacteria... well, you don't need to understand this, Mr. Dai and I will study it some time. In short, with the establishment of the new dynasty and the smooth flow of overseas trade, we must also strictly prevent the import of overseas diseases. When things are done, even if we are thousands of miles away from Europe, the risk is very low, and we need to be vigilant at all times. After all, apart from Europe, who knows if there will be any strange symptoms in various overseas countries..."

This……

Xue Shu gradually understood the general idea, as if he was talking about the prevention and control of an epidemic.

plague.

While deliberating, Zhu Yuan continued: "...So, I announce the establishment of the Daming Customs and Quarantine Bureau of the sixth grade, and the establishment of the customs and quarantine sub-bureaus of the seventh grade in each sea branch. In addition, the navy will have frequent contacts with foreign countries in the future, and it is necessary to set up a similar department, tentatively setting up the same six-rank Daming Navy Epidemic Prevention Bureau. There are related teams. Furthermore, these departments will also connect with the Tai Hospital in the future, and the Tai Hospital will provide personnel, technical and material support..."

Another series of new yamen.

Hearing what the young envoy said that [-]% of Europe's population died due to the epidemic, Xue Shu felt that epidemic prevention is very important, but with so many new yamen and various branches, will it be too wasteful?
After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, he signaled that everyone can speak freely and discuss some details first.

The meeting continued like this for another quarter of an hour, and Zhu Yuan finally said: "Perhaps you have heard that I will leave Dinghai in the next few days. However, according to the request of my ancestors, after returning to Jinling, I will continue to serve as the battalion envoy." , the corresponding government office is equivalent to moving to the capital, so I will continue to follow up on this matter, and of course all other matters of the Yinghai Division. I hope everyone will not slack off after I leave. Oh, yes, the same is true for the Navy Governor’s Mansion , in addition to the command envoy of the battalion sea guards, I also have a captain of the navy's governor's mansion, that is to say, I can direct all the guards under the navy's flag, don't let me catch the new official's three chances to take office."

Everyone laughed.

Zhu Yuan clapped his hands: "That's it for today, let's end the meeting."

Everyone got up.

Xue Shu made a gesture and stood up, saluted the first two adults, but did not move.

When the people around had left, Xue Shu saw that the envoy of the camp and the captain of the navy were whispering to each other, so he retreated to the entrance of Mingyuan hall and waited tactfully.

Zhu Yuan is discussing with Huagao about the "official pirates" who are about to be released to the south.

I'm about to leave, even if I get to Jinling, it's still the same. After all, it's not as convenient as here. I have to arrange some urgent things as soon as possible in the past few days.

The planned batch of official pirates, about 2000 people, has already gathered. As long as the north wind blows, a fleet of ships will quietly leave Mingzhou.

The leader is Yan Xun, who was appointed by Zhu Yuan early on.

Zhu Yuan originally insisted on an all-sea bandit lineup, but as a result of the matter, he added about 500 official manpower, most of whom were veterans who retired on the spot. Daming would not recognize what happened in the future, and also There are a few elite secret agents of the Guard Division.

Furthermore, the family members of the pirates were forced to stay as hostages.

This is the plan that Lao Zhu personally finalized after several rounds of consultations. Hua Gao also agrees with it, so Zhu Yuan can only agree.

After discussing this matter, Zhu Yuan and Hua Gao went out and saw Xue Shu approaching him, who had also noticed him before, and asked, "What's the matter?"

When they came to the court, Xue Shu waited for Zhu Yuan to say goodbye to Hua Gao again, and watched the navy commander walk towards the gate of the courtyard, while cupping his hands and saying: "Hanlin, the Ministry of Military Affairs issued the order prohibiting private sea fishing yesterday, and the officials feel that it is inappropriate. .”

The weather in late autumn is getting colder and colder. Zhu Yuan was wearing a thick white light fur coat today. He was supposed to be a young boy, but now he folded his hands in a disfigured way, watching Hua Gao leave as well, and nodded in agreement: "I also It doesn't feel right."

Xue Shu was stunned for a moment, but following Zhu Yuan's tone, he said: "Then... I ask Hanlin to take it back."

Zhu Yuan shook his head: "I don't."

Xue Shu: "..."

Why does this suddenly feel like a young man playing his temper?
When Huagao exited the gate of the main courtyard, Zhu Yuan turned to his office, and said to Xue Shu who continued to follow: "Originally, I planned to be gentle, and official arrests and civilian arrests can coexist. However, some people are too aggressive. If you open your mouth, you will have to look forward to Shu, and it will only make them lose more than they gain. Tsk... three consecutive idioms starting with the word '得', I am still very educated, right?"

Very cultured...

If you don't say that someone is obviously half-knowledgeable about classics and historical books, other miscellaneous studies can be called profound.

Ok.

Xue Shu shook his head slightly, passed the question, and looked at Zhu Yuan who walked to the desk and sat down after entering the room: "Has Hanlin ever thought about how many people's livelihoods will be cut off by what you do?"

From the thick pile of documents on the desk, Zhu Yuan took a list of goods and budgets reported by various maritime trade companies.

A new batch of caravans is about to go to Nanyang from Quanzhou and Guangzhou ports after the north wind blows. During this time, preparations are in full swing.

Speaking of which, caravans going north to Koryo and Japan will also start to return while taking advantage of the north wind.

Flipping through the documents, Zhu Yuan said to Xue Shu, "Before this winter, the fishermen along the coast of Daming, the refugees who were willing to merge into the sea company, and some ordinary households who wanted to switch to fishery production, as well as artisans in related industries. households, etc., will complete the naturalization records, and in the future, the Fishery Production Division will coordinate the fishery production, and these people will get enough living security. So, tell me, whose livelihood have I cut off?"

The jurisdiction of the Yinghai Division is expanding unknowingly, which is also the result of Lao Zhu's nod.

In history, Lao Zhu founded the Ming Dynasty and continued the household registration classification policy of the Yuan Dynasty, especially hereditary military households. In Zhu Yuan's view, this is definitely the worst system.The household registration statistics of the Yinghai Division this time, as well as the upcoming imperial examinations for all types of household registrations, can be regarded as a major reversal of the past history after Zhu Yuan's continuous lobbying.

Zhu Yuan insisted on one of the most basic truths: running water does not rot, and household hinges do not become moths.

A pond that is completely cut off from its surroundings will only gradually become a lifeless, stinking puddle.

Xue Shu couldn't comprehend the special meaning behind the scenes of Zhu Yuan's answer, but only focused on his purpose today: "Hanlin, there are many people who own ships but don't want to be naturalized in the sea division. Fish subsidize livelihoods."

Zhu Yuan marked one of the 'iron pot' items with a pen, and said casually: "Then continue, the sea is so big, if they are only fishing for their own use, the Yinghai Division does not have so much energy to manage it. "

Xue Shu was stunned.

This……

Is it so unprofessional?
You say that, how can I pick it up?
Seeing Xue Shu not speaking for a while, Zhu Yuan looked up at him, lowered his head again, turned a page of the document, and continued: "You are very smart and know how to be flexible. You should know why I issued this ban. And, I'm not trying to get angry with anyone. What I'm thinking about is this land... well, our ocean, and what will happen in the next hundred or thousand years. On the one hand, I don't want the newly prosperous Yinghai Division to be destroyed by others Hollow out and become a profit-making tool for some people. In my opinion, their ideas are similar to land annexation on land, which is very serious. On the other hand, we also need to restrain our demands on the sea. Take your time, but soon found that it is better to set up the rules at the beginning. The country's compulsory overall planning of sea fishing is relatively the most effective and sustainable means."

Xue Shu had no choice but to nod slightly in approval, but said: "Since that's the case, why didn't Hanlin make it clear? The lower officials said that the common people can be allowed to fish properly, instead of this total ban?"

"Because I only need to make a small opening, and someone will try to tear the opening bigger and bigger."

"But..." Xue Shu thought for a while, and said, "The Hanlin's ban is so strict, I'm afraid that the people who handle things will be even harsher."

"This is also a problem." Zhu Yuan thought for a while, then turned to look at Xue Shu with a smile: "At that time, you, Xue Qingtian, who is pleading for the people, will be needed. If any people's ships are detained, you can help They want the boat back, but if Ying Haisi doesn't give it back, uh...you can bump your head on the stone lion in front of my gate. I think you don't mind such a thing that can be recorded in history. Just remember not to touch it to death..."

Xue Shu: "..."

What kind of nonsense official third-rank official is this? !
At the end of the document in front of him, Zhu Yuan commented that "the export of iron pots, farm tools and other ironware should not be too restrictive, but the price must be ensured and it should not be excessive."Then I changed to another one, looked up at Xue Shu again, saw him looking dull, and said: "Well, I didn't think carefully, after all, the ban was only issued yesterday, and the details still need to be perfected. Let me think about it, Hmm... Ying Hai Division can openly purchase a batch of private fishing boats, no matter how big or small, it is a chance for them to stop losses. In addition, even if they are not included in the household registration of Ying Hai Division, the coastal people can also come to the various departments of Ying Hai Division when they are free. During the fish season, the Yinghai Division will also hire extra people to go to sea, which is enough for them to subsidize their family. For the time being, these two, do you have any other ideas?"

Xue Shu thought about it for a while, and then said, "Hanlin, please make a written statement."

Zhu Yuan was startled.

This... is a hit!
"Old Xue, come down, Mr. Yinghai Envoy has agreed to relax the ban."

"Let him make written evidence!"

The picture is very strong.

Ok.

Smiling, Zhu Yuan said: "You go to Liu Lian, and according to what I just said, make a plan as soon as possible and give it to me for approval. Well, only two of them are allowed."

Xue Shu cupped his hands, but said: "Three things."

"Two."

"Three..."

"Two," Zhu Yuan insisted, "I'm perfect enough. For the remaining one, you'd better touch the stone lion. In addition, if you let me know that you touch the stone lion for the sake of a rich man's boat, I will let you You're really dying."

Seeing that Zhu Yuan did not back down, Xue Shu paused, and could only give a deep bow.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zhu Yuan suddenly remembered something, and called him again: "You should also be from a scholarly family, right?"

Xue Shu stopped, a little confused, but still nodded slightly.

Zhu Yuan said: "If you have the imperial examination papers of the previous dynasty, or if someone you know has them, please find some copies for me. I asked Liu Lian in the morning, and he said no. You know, his hometown is Qingtian. It's pretty far."

Xue Shu was puzzled: "My lord...why?"

Xue Shu knew that the imperial court was about to hold an imperial examination, but the young man in front of him shouldn't need to participate, right?

"My ancestor asked me to be the chief examiner of this imperial examination." Zhu Yuan subconsciously straightened himself up as a teacher's example: "I actually refused, but since the burden has been laid down, I must familiarize myself with it and find some references. For example, how to formulate exam questions."

Xue Shu: "..."

What kind of nonsense is this...

Once again, Xue Shu said: "The imperial examination questions, the lower officials feel, should be determined by His Majesty, and Hanlin only needs to make overall arrangements from it."

Zhu Yuan shook his head: "This time is different, and it's not a small-scale imperial examination. Anyway, you hurry up and collect a few copies for me, and I'll grind my guns in front of the battle."

Grinding your guns in battle...

The majestic chief examiner of the imperial examination, this speech...is this a human speech?At a certain moment, Xue Shu felt that there was no hope for this country.

what is this...

Feeling powerless, I still agreed.

After confirming that Zhu Yuan had nothing else to do, Xue Qingcai turned and left full of concern for the country and the people.

Zhu Yuan continued to process the documents in front of him.

Right now is a plan for the implementation of the credit system in Mingzhou Maritime Academy.

Zhu Yuan had previously determined that Yao Feng would be in charge of the Mingzhou Maritime Academy. As for the specific teaching issues, after a little consideration, he decided to adopt the later generation's college credit system model.

The main thing is flexibility.

In this day and age, let alone a mature education system, there is not even an immature education system. How to confirm whether a student is a talent has become a problem.The traditional imperial examination is a solution, but the disadvantage is that because it cannot be quantified and lacks a unified standard, it is impossible to select talents in a large scale.

If you want to start a new era, it is a must to select talents on a large scale and in batches.

Zhu Yuan had thought of a plan before, the exam.

Certainly not the traditional imperial examinations.

The biggest difference between the two is the later percentage system.

However, this is only for a single subject, and if it is enlarged to the entire major or even a wider range, additional considerations are required.

The credit system can perfectly solve this problem.

Corresponding talents, set the threshold of credits, a student, passing the [-]-point examination, accumulating enough credits again and again, reaching the standard, is considered a talent.You can also take advantage of the trend to get degrees, such as bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.

Clear and clear.

Mingzhou Maritime Academy is just the beginning. When we return to Jinling, whether it is Jinling University, Houhu Medical College, or even Guozijian, Zhu Yuan will suggest Lao Zhu to promote the credit system.

For the current document, it was Zhu Yuan who first put forward the idea, and then handed it over to Liu Lian and the others to complete it in detail, mainly details such as how many credits should be awarded for what kind of knowledge, and how many credits can be accumulated for graduation.

Zhu Yuan also has his own requirements.

Mingzhou Maritime Academy, according to the standards of later generations, can be regarded as a technical secondary vocational school, and the requirements should not be too high.

In terms of liberal arts, etiquette cannot be abandoned, but it should not be too demanding. Zhu Yuan plans to make a set of textbooks.

This is after.

now...

Seriously, just be literate.

The level of three hundred thousand.

The main thing is practical professional skills, ranging from shipbuilding to weaving nets, as well as map reading and surveying related to camping and sea operations, as well as surrounding work and construction, as well as research on marine meteorology and ecology.

Just think about it.

Therefore, this cannot be done in a day or two.In three to five years, Zhu Yuan is satisfied if he can roughly make a system.

The moment is just the frame.

After reading the plan made by Liu Lian and the others, it is obvious that the liberal arts are still too heavy, so Zhu Yuan crossed out some, and planned to have 100 graduation credits, directly reducing the liberal arts to 30 credits, and the sciences accounted for 70 credits.

And, one last addition.

In view of the current urgent shortage of various talents in the Marine Division and the Navy Commander-in-Chief, in the next few years, as an expedient measure, students in the school who have completed 60 credits and passed the pass will be able to graduate early depending on the situation.

In addition, there is no need to study full-time, and there is no age limit. Students can also choose on-the-job study, irregular electives, evening study and other programs. After completing a subject, they can apply for the exam and accumulate credits.

The ultimate goal is to get a degree.

A degree will definitely be linked to various job titles and benefits in the future.

Speaking of it, this is something that was criticized by many people later. It only depends on academic theory, not on actual ability, blah blah blah.

The question is, what else?
than character?
If it's really like this, people who have money, power, family background and background, their 'character' can be so good that those ordinary people who want to get ahead will be blown out of dozens of streets.

Therefore, the seemingly rigid exam-oriented education is the fairest education system in the world.

none of them.

After reading this document, Zhu Yuan wrote down a full page of comments while thinking, and just picked up another copy of the winter flood hairtail fishing related information collected and sorted out by the staff of the Yinghai Division, when a guard's announcement sounded outside the door.

Looking at the past, apart from Xieyi's father, Qiao Wang, and Zhu Yuan, who only remembered after a little thought, Lin Jiu, the manager of the Mingzhou Poultry Breeding Company who was appointed when he was vacationing in Zhoushan Island, and Kuang San, the deputy manager who was good at incubating with local methods .

Kuang San was also holding a bamboo basket, and there was a chirping sound coming from inside.

Signaling the three of them to enter, Zhu Yuan asked with a smile, "Have they hatched?"

The three saluted respectfully, before Lin Jiucai said: "Yes, my lord, I came here specially to announce the good news to my lord."

Kuang San picked up the bamboo basket and carefully sent it to Zhu Yuan's desk, his face full of joy: "My lord, Ye Ge's thermometer is amazing, it is divided into ten greenhouses to try to hatch, a total of 610 duck eggs came out in one go [-] Seven ducklings, huh, this is still a little old man, I am not good at the craft, I will try again in the future, I will definitely get more."
