Yan Maoqing felt that Mu Bin’s suggestion was still very feasible.

Just need to find a suitable time.

After all, you can't just put money so blatantly, and it needs some preparation.

The increase in taxes was considered the first fire Yan Maoqing lit.

This second hot topic, Yan Maoqing decided to put it in the field of culture and education.

Since ancient times, culture and education have been the easiest part to achieve political achievements. Compared with taxes, promoting culture and education will not only not offend people, but will instead win a good reputation.

Zhejiang is a major province in culture and education.

Even children with yellow mouths will recite a few poems.

As for the social schools run by each village, they play an enlightening role.

Of course, social sciences are at most teaching children to recognize words. After all, it is impossible for a hundred surnames to take the imperial examination by reciting the Three-character Classic.

If you want to take the imperial examination, you must participate in a professional official or private school.

Official schools are county, prefecture, and prefecture schools.

Private schools are colleges established everywhere.

Yan Maoqing could not only renovate the official school, but also invest in the establishment of a college.

After some trade-offs, Yan Maoqing decided to adopt the latter.

After all, official schools are official schools and have many rules and regulations.

It is difficult for Yan Maoqing to exert personal influence.

And it is difficult to grasp the right amount.

If you are not careful, you will easily cause trouble and end up seeking fame.

Private schooling is different. There are not so many restrictions in terms of admission scope or teaching format. Yan Maoqing can give full play to his influence.

The governor of a province has promoted culture and education, and established academies to promote talents in the country. It must be a beautiful story to spread it.

Since you have an idea, you must start implementing it.

The location selection of a college is the top priority.

First of all, the position should not be too biased, otherwise the influence will be insufficient.

Secondly, you cannot be in a downtown city, otherwise it will easily lead to students' impatience and cannot study hard.

Such an unbiased place is a bit difficult to choose.

It is definitely not possible around West Lake, and it is not appropriate to be in the city.

After thinking about it, Yan Maoqing decided to place the academy in Xixi.

Xixi is not far from Hangzhou City. It has been built over the years. Other industries are also considered to be prosperous in the market.

But because it is a distance away from Hangzhou City, it is not too noisy.

However, this is the place where the Hong clan members of the most prominent clan in Hangzhou live together. If Yan Maoqing wants to build a college here, he needs to obtain the Hong clan's consent.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress local snakes.

Although Yan Maoqing is a governor, he is a foreign monk after all. If he offended a prominent family like the Hong family, his political achievements will definitely be affected.

If you are not rejected by Hong, you may even get rid of the bed and get rid of the bed if you are impeached.

Therefore, Yan Maoqing made a special trip to Xixi to discuss the matter with Hong.

After some negotiations, Yan Maoqing finally solved the biggest problem.

In principle, the Hong family did not oppose Yan Maoqing's practice of running a college in Xixi. But there is one premise, that is, Yan Maoqing can only recruit scholars other than the Hong family to enter the academy, and cannot involve the Hong family.

In response to this, Yan Maoqing naturally patted his chest and promised that he would never have any idea of ​​attacking the Hong clan.

After all, the act of poaching others' misunderstandings is the most harbinger.

Yan Maoqing had too late to please Hong, so how could he make enemies for no reason?

After selecting the site, we will find a teaching next.

Why are those private academies more attractive than official schools? Isn’t it because the teaching is more famous and knowledgeable?

In the past, Wang Yangming founded Jishan Academy, which attracted countless disciples to come from all over the world to study, which shows how it is.

Of course, Yan Maoqing didn't think he could be a peerless scholar like Wang Yangming, but it was not difficult to hire some well-known teachers with the magistrate.

Hangzhou is a place where literary spirits gather, and there are many scholars living in seclusion here. I believe that as long as he sends a notice, he will respond soon.

In addition to increasing taxes and promoting culture and education, Yan Maoqing has the third fire.

That is bridge repair.

Hangzhou has a wide range of water systems, and because of West Lake, all dynasties have liked to build dikes and bridges.

The most famous ones are Baidi and Sudi.

Yan Maoqing didn't want to spend so much money, so he naturally couldn't build the dike.

He thought about it and found that the cost of building a bridge was the most cost-effective.

This is probably what it means to spend a small amount of money to do big things.

But in Yan Maoqing's view, the purpose of building a bridge for the people of Hangzhou is to build a bridge, not for his own personal construction.

Therefore, the money for the bridge construction should naturally be paid by the government.

It means that Yan Maoqing has made a splash with the money from the government, and he will make sure to make a profit without losing money.

Of course, bridge repairs must be done by professionals.

Yan Maoqing is not so stupid as to take on a big deal.

He directly handed this matter to Mubin, and he just needed to enjoy the benefits.

As for where the bridge is built, it must be within the West Lake area.

West Lake is full of countless humanistic essences, and it is most likely to be arty and elegant when building bridges here.

But West Lake is too big, so it is really troublesome to repair it.

Yan Maoqing thought about it and took pictures on Gushan.

The main reason is that it is well-connected and is located in the core area of ​​West Lake. Building a bridge here is still very practical, not just as a symbol or symbol.

After putting out three fires, Yan Maoqing felt comfortable.

This is what I said when I gain fame and fortune when I become a bitch and stand up as a archway.

...

...

"Yan Maoqing wants to build a bridge in Gushan?"

Qian Dehong was quite shocked when he learned the news.

"Good disciple, aren't you a teacher?"

"Look at what you always say, even if students are happy with whom they want to be happy, they will not dare to treat you."

Xu Yan said with great care.

"The government notice has been posted, how can there be a falsehood? In that case, wouldn't Yan Maoqing slapped himself in the face?"

"Hmph, those who seek fame and reputation!"

Qian Dehong did not have any good comments on Yan Maoqing.

As an old man who has been through the profession for a long time, Qian Dehong is very accurate in his opinion.

He could see Yan Maoqing's actions clearly.

"Not only do you have to build a bridge in Gushan, but Yan Maoqing also wants to run a school in Xixi."

Xu Yan thought to himself that Yan Maoqing really knows how to choose a place. It’s not good to choose which place, but Xixi.

This is really not aimed at the Hong family’s popularity?

After all, it is easier to gain reputation with topicality.

Yan Maoqing is quite smart and can always find the greatest benefit.

Xu Yan did not think of him immediately. It was just that Yan Maoqing's actions were really disgusting.

"Oh, the court is full of such flattering people. It would be strange if the Ming Dynasty is good."

Although he was no longer an official in the court, Qian Dehong still missed his father and court.

Even if the king had once foolishly put him in prison and removed him from office.

"Don't be so pessimistic, too. Isn't there a good official like the Governor in the court?"

Xu Yan smiled and said, "If evil does not suppress righteousness, the loyal and good ministers will still win in the end."

"Is this really the case?"

Qian Dehong didn't have much confidence, after all, what he saw was not what he had written in history.

"Don't worry, old man."

Xu Yan promised with confidence.

It might not be certain if Xu Yan had not arrived in the Ming Dynasty, but now he has a loyal, good, treacherous and slanderous minister, which must be very different from that in history.
