The news that Zhao Ziying released these five schools was not only known to Xuzhou, nor was it only for the children who came from all over the country to apply, but arranged for the corresponding details to be sent to all places that Zhao Ziying could control, so that all

Everyone who needs to know knows.

There are also differences in the scope of recruiting students for the school. In villages where refugees are the main body, individuals are not allowed to sign up, but village heads can recommend them. Farmers with refugee origins can only go to the commerce, engineering, agricultural and foreign affairs departments. Among them, joining the engineering school is a must

You must have a certain foundation or skills. The Westerners must at least understand the nature of water and know how to operate a boat. Fishermen are given priority. If you do not meet the conditions, you will be recommended. The village head and the steward will be held accountable. Those who want to join the Xuzhou Martial Arts School

, only people with the three identities of student, group trainer and patrol can be nominated and recommended by the company leader together with the team leader. After the group leader confirms, they can register. After registration, they have to take an assessment. Only after passing the assessment can they join.

As for the children of Xuzhou and Pizhou, the recruitment process is the same as that of servants. As long as they are clean, have someone to vouch for them, and pass the assessment, they can join any school.

Outside of this, only three people from business, engineering and martial arts schools can join, and after entering, they start from the junior class. Anyone who joins the Xuzhou Martial Arts School in Zhao Ziying starts from the intermediate class.

, when these details came out, everyone understood that the Agricultural School and the Westernization School were the most precious, and outsiders were not allowed to enter here.

The scope of the Agricultural School is only the children of Xuzhou and Pizhou plus the refugees in the refugee villages controlled by Zhao Ziying. Although registration for the Westernization School is available, only those related to the Cai family's fleet and Songjiang Yu

Relevant people from the family's fleet, etc., and then some of the Xu family's children will participate. The rest of the students do not sign up, but Zhao Ziying selects suitable ones from various subordinates before being allowed to join.

When the news spread, everyone naturally signed up enthusiastically. Naturally, the largest number of people joined the Xuzhou martial arts gym. However, some people knew that they did not have the ability to work hard, and some people wanted to have a stable family. They did not ask their children to make contributions, as long as they came to Xuzhou to do it.

As a hostage, just have a relationship with Zhao Ziying. There are many such people who have entered the business school. Zhao Ziying Yunshan Bank has done such a big business. The tossing of gold mountains and silver seas must have the Midas touch to turn gold into gold. I will definitely learn it.

It is very useful. As for the number of people who come to this engineering school, there are very few people. Some craftsmen in Xuzhou and Pizhou have sent their children. They are not the eldest sons who inherit the family business, but the second and third sons. It is expensive to raise them.

It's better to send them here to find a way out, and then many people related to Xujia Coal and Iron will join. These people have been working for generations, and they know Zhao Jin's way of doing things better than others, so they are willing to join.

However, the engineering school was quickly filled with people, because Zhao Jin ordered that among the newly captured refugee prisoners, all skilled craftsmen should be selected, and the older ones would be screened for use, while the younger ones would all be sent to the engineering school. In this way

Of course, there is no shortage of people.

When the news about the five major schools in Xuzhou spread, people from all directions began to move. The most active among them were the powerful gentry in Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong. They had seen Zhao Ziying's majesty and strength, but they did not compete with Zhao Ziying.

What kind of close contact has been established with Ziying? Now there is an opportunity to let the children come over, as well as the people who have been stationed in the places where Zhao Ziying has fought. They have also seen the majesty of Zhao Ziying, and they have also seen Zhao Ziying.

People do things fairly. When they heard about this school, those who had enough conditions and had many sons rushed over as much as possible to try their luck.

Various parties reacted differently to the establishment of Xuzhou's Five Schools. Some said that Zhao Ziying's approach was ambitious and considerate of all parties. However, the establishment of this school has severely reduced the income of those old scholars who have no future and those who have lost their previous positions of power.

The civil servants of Xuzhou were all gathered together, the former taught people enlightenment, the latter taught people practice, and then businessmen were attracted to businessmen, and agriculture and public works cultivated talents.

Those warriors who are wealthy and unwilling to sit idle at home gather together and teach others their skills. It is always a decent thing.

But there were also people who scolded Zhao Ziying for his approach. Those who scolded him were mainly scholars in the age group of twenty to forty. In their view, Zhao Jin's method was extremely rebellious and rebellious.

, Insulting saints and sages with ulterior motives will result in retribution sooner or later. This reaction is also normal, because in Zhao Ziying's system, those scholars who put on airs and are unwilling to sink their minds to learn and do things have absolutely no benefits to gain.

They were even thrown out of the system, but since these people had no chance of obtaining a scholar or higher rank in the imperial examination, they were naturally full of resentment.

But in mid-June, what attracted the most attention was the congratulatory gifts sent to Zhao Jin by wealthy gentry from various places, as well as the court's follow-up on Shandong. This time, Zhao Ziying did not keep a low profile as before, but instead

The congratulatory gifts were placed on display under the pergola. Each gift had the name of the giver in front of it. Everyone agreed with this approach because it could highlight the close relationship between everyone and Zhao Ziying and also show off their wealth.

However, what Huaiyang rich people like to do most is to add temporary gifts in order not to fall behind others in the exhibition, but Zhao Ziying stopped their behavior, and Zhao Ziying did not want to make a fortune from this.

Although Zhao Ziying was thinking about them, the wealthy people who wanted to replenish their gifts were very dissatisfied.

The total amount of gold, silver and gifts made of gold and silver materials is almost 100,000 taels of silver. The value of other gifts is about 40,000 taels. This amount is really shocking. Think of how many wealthy merchants there are in Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou.

Wealth, considering their family background, is actually nothing.

The most eye-catching thing is the gift from the Songjiang Yu family, which is a lucky ship worth about one thousand yuan. Thanks to Zhao Ziying's ability to control the water transportation in the Jiangbei area of ​​​​South Zhili, otherwise when a large number of ships go north and south,

It is really troublesome for such a large sea-going ship to go northward under the tow of a small boat.

The fortune ship is wide and stable, but it can borrow the power of ocean currents and winds at sea. Most of the time on the canal, it can only be towed by canal boats. Fortunately, the Yu family is powerful and Zhao Ziying provides various conveniences along the way. This

We successfully arrived at the ferry near Hejiazhuang.

On such a large sea-going ship, a stage was set up on the deck for opera singing and lanterns were decorated. Even many people gathered in Hejiazhuang went to have a look. Zhao Jin also led the team there. Yu Zhiyuan made it clear that it was originally

We are preparing to build a fleet for Zhao Jin. This lucky ship was built first, so we took this opportunity to send it to join in the fun. There are also several Guangzhou ships and lucky ships being built in the shipyard.

"Brother, do you know the business on the ocean? A shipload of goods will bring back a shipload of money. Although the sea is rough and dangerous, as long as one ship runs for a whole year, the entire fleet will earn back in one year.

And I even made some money back." Yu Zhiyuan didn't hide anything in front of Zhao Jin, he was trying his best to show off.

"This is good. The students of the Westernization School can learn and practice on it and let them get familiar with it first." Zhao Jin was very satisfied with this and said with a smile.

Yu Zhiyuan nodded repeatedly and agreed: "In that case, let's arrange for some experienced and steady shipwrights and sailors to take them offshore, and then go to the ocean after they are really familiar with them."

"Are you familiar with cotton?" Zhao Jin also got straight to the point, but this change of topic made Yu Zhiyuan a little dazed. He thought if he was not talking about maritime trade, why did he ask about cotton.

"Brother, you have asked the right person. Songjiang cotton is the best in the world. Songjiang Prefecture produces cotton and has a large number of spinning and weaving workshops. Every year, a large amount of cotton is sold all over the world through waterways. Even Goryeo, Japan and Nanyang have to sell it.

Use our Songjiang cotton." When talking about this, Yu Zhiyuan showed a proud expression on his face.

It can be heard that Yu Zhiyuan really understands this: "Two-thirds of the Yu family's annual income comes from this. The fleet can make a fortune by bringing anything it brings to the sea. It can be purchased locally, which can stabilize the bulk and make a steady profit.

The only thing I won’t pay for is this cotton cloth.”

"If we can produce cotton cloth, and the output can be a fraction of that of Songjiang Prefecture, or even more than what Songjiang produces, do you think the price will drop and we won't be able to make as much money?" Zhao Jin asked vaguely, but Yu

Zhiyuan immediately became energetic.

For Young Master Yu, Xuzhou Zhao Jin is almost omniscient and omnipotent. If he can say this, he must have a corresponding method. Although he can't think of how to make so many cotton cloths, since it is so

Said, Zhao Jin can definitely do it, and Yu Zhiyuan even noticed the "we" in Zhao Jin's words.

After being lost in thought for a while, when he spoke again, Yu Zhiyuan's voice was trembling: "Brother, there are so many people in the world, no one needs to wear clothes. In addition to the Ming Dynasty, there are also Japan, Goryeo, and Nanyang.

Every place needs this cotton cloth. Brother, Songjiang Prefecture produces so much every year. The supply is always in short supply. Except for a few, I have never heard of anyone having a stockpile of cloth. If we can produce so much cotton cloth, it is equivalent to creating another Songjiang Prefecture. It is equal to too much.

If you get a share of Songjiang Mansion and make money, this is a mountain of gold and a sea of ​​gold and silver."

"Golden mountains and silver seas? How many people have been talking about this recently?" Zhao Jin said with a smile, and then solemnly told Yu Zhiyuan: "From cotton planting to picking to spinning and weaving, you must find me knowledgeable people at each stage.

Master craftsman, if you pay a high price for your work, please come to Xuzhou, and then we can discuss it."

"Brother, please don't worry. I'll handle it as soon as I get back." Yu Zhiyuan promised, patting his chest.

With the influx of more and more people, Xuzhou became more and more lively, especially the news from the capital spread to Xuzhou through various channels. The Wenxiang Sect rebels were put down, leaving thousands of local Shandong soldiers to search for the remnants.

Troops and horses from all walks of life retreated to their bases
