Be a master through ancient times

The next day, Chuci led people to meet Master Qin at the gate of Tixuesi Yamen.

Qin Shun got drunk and slept all day yesterday, and only realized something was wrong when he woke up in the morning.He secretly scolded Chu Ci for being insidious, knowing that the drunk man would let him drink, causing him to almost delay the important event.So when he saw Chu Ci at this time, his expression was very bad, and when he heard him salute to himself, he only said "get up" lightly.

Chu Ci didn't care about this, when Lord Qin was willing to give him a good face, he would have to wonder if there was a conspiracy waiting for him.

"How did Master Qin rest yesterday?" Chu Ci asked casually while leading them to the hall where the materials were stored.

Qin Shun's face became more serious when he heard that: "Lao Chuti's study is in mind, I had a good rest last night. I don't know if everything that Chuti learned is ready. I came to supervise and supervise everything. .”

Chu Ci said: "Master Qin, don't worry, our Zhangzhou Prefecture Education Department is used to being careful, and we have a draft of everything, and you just need to check it. If there is something wrong, please take the trouble to point it out." One or two, let me wait until I can correct one or two."

Seeing his confident appearance, Mr. Qin felt uncomfortable, and only responded with a cold snort to what he said, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chu Ci quickened his pace, and the few people came to the hall after walking for a while.

The layout of this hall is not the same as yesterday. The huge hall is divided into several sections. A large pile of information is displayed on the table of each section, and descriptions are written on them, making it clear at a glance.There is an official standing next to each table. If Mr. Qin has any questions during the inspection, they will answer them immediately.

Even though Qin Shun didn't like Chu Ci very much, when facing the hall arranged like this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this person was indeed different from others.Before coming to Nanfu Province, he first checked a few prefectures in Xijiang Province. The materials of those prefectures were all carried up in boxes, and they were piled up together, which really gave people a headache.

Qin Shun had to submit a memorial to summarize one or two when he went back after the inspection, so he had to read it carefully.Those few days were hard for him, his eyes almost popped out.It would save them a lot of trouble if each mansion could be sorted into different categories like this.

"Lord Qin, all the materials of the Zhangzhou Mansion for the past three years are here. Where do you want to start to check? If you have any questions, the adults in our Department of Education will answer them." Seeing him, Chu Ci fell silent suddenly. , and took the initiative to bring the topic over.

Qin Shun glanced at the officials at the table next to him, and suddenly asked: "What is he wearing around his neck?" The thing was square and square, hanging from his chest with a blue rope, and it seemed that there were words written on it.

"Oh, this is the work card of our Division of Education. It has the names and official positions of each adult written on it, which is easy for adults to know." Chu Ci didn't know that it was Qin Shun who came here. , it doesn't make sense to not even reveal a name.Hanging it directly on the chest like this might impress the inspector more, and if I go back and mention it by the way, I can also put a name on it.

But now it can only be used as a job card, because Chu Ci knew that it would be fine if Qin Shun didn't belittle him, so how could he support his subordinates.

Qin Shun frowned after hearing this, thinking that this person just likes to come up with weird things, if he recognizes people, won't he ask, and he still needs to write it under his nose?

But thinking so in his heart, Qin Shun couldn't help but look at it.It turned out that the person in front of him was Zhou Qing, who was the head of the Foreign Affairs Office.And what was placed in front of him was a topographic map of all the schools, large and small, in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

He picked up one and looked at it carefully, but found that some of it was drawn with lines, and some were drawn with intermittent and disconnected lines.Some are drawn with black lines, while others are drawn with blue-green lines.Some schools are marked with red circles, while others are marked with yellow circles.Due to the variety of colors, this thing looks more like a painting than a topographic map.

He was about to criticize Chu Ci for messing around, but he thought that this person was unparalleled in cunning, and he would never hand over the blame to him, so he held back for the time being.When he moved his gaze down, he found that the few lines of small characters at the bottom of the topographic map had already marked the things on it.

The ones drawn with lines are the schools that still exist, while the ones drawn with broken lines have been closed.The black lines are drawn three years ago, and the blue and green colors correspond to the past two years.Those marked with a red circle are run by the government, including prefectural schools, county schools and village schools, while those marked with a yellow circle are private schools.

Qin Shun suddenly realized that it would be much easier to look at this topographic map according to the labels on it.The neighboring provinces usually make three maps to correspond to the three-year changes.It's just that the changes from year to year are not too big. If you want to look at it according to this map, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. If you are negligent, you will not be able to find the difference.

But this map is different. Three years are combined into one year, and the changes in each year can be seen at a glance.Just like now, Qin Shun suddenly discovered that since Chu Ci took office, the number of schools in Zhangzhou Prefecture has decreased by dozens compared to previous years!

Qin Shun was very happy because of this discovery. He knew that Chu Ci was ordered by the Holy Spirit to rectify the style of study, and now Zhangzhou Mansion is being rectified by him, which is not as good as usual.As long as this news is passed on, Chu Ci may have no hope of returning to Beijing.

But he thought again, the map was clearly drawn on it, could this Chu Ci not know its importance?But he just put it on so openly, there must be a fraud in it!If he handed it in as before, and after the accountability paper came out, this guy came back with a refuted fallacy, wouldn't it be his fault again?

Thinking of this, Qin Shun took a deep breath in his heart, and scolded Chu Ci for being too insidious, making him almost fall for his tricks!

Standing aside, Chu Ci saw that Qin Shun's expression was as wonderful as knocking over a seasoning plate, and secretly wondered, could this person be too stupid to understand after making notes?

He was just about to ask a question when Qin Shun slapped the map on the table and glared at him by the way.

"..." Second Monk Chu Cizhang was puzzled, with a slightly aggrieved expression on his face.

In Qin Shun's eyes, it was the disappointment after his treachery was exposed, so he finally felt a little better.

"Master Chu, I think the reason why the Holy Majesty appointed you to Zhangzhou Mansion to rectify the style of study was because of your strong ability to handle affairs. But now you have only been here for a year, and the school in the Fuzhong has not increased but declined. Are you worthy of the Holy Majesty? , What's the hidden story here?" Qin Shun tentatively asked, thinking that if Chu Ci couldn't explain it, he would report it immediately.

"My lord Qin has clearly noticed that there is indeed something hidden here. These closed schools are schools with very few students and their wives' character is worrying. These schools not only consume government supplies, but also mislead Meng Tong. After repeated inspections, the officials decided to close There are more than ten schools." Chu Ci said.

In fact, Chu Ci has always had some doubts about the education system of the Great Wei Dynasty.Judging from these historical materials, the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty attached great importance to education, which can be seen by setting up schools in every village with a household registration of more than a hundred.In addition, he also attached great importance to mathematics, and incorporated mathematics into the imperial examination, which has a tendency to develop in an all-round way.

But from the perspective of development, such an operation is actually quite unreasonable.There are too many schools, but too few teachers, and children's schooling is entirely voluntary, so that the village schools set up in many villages are vacant.It can be seen that the founding emperor has a little knowledge of education. He only knows how to meet the hardware requirements, but he turns a blind eye to the essence of education.

Sometimes, Chu Ci wondered if the founding emperor was a fellow villager.But other than these things, everything else is pretty normal.Chu Ci felt that if he was dressed as an emperor, he would definitely light up the technology tree and directly lead the Great Wei Dynasty to reform and open up to a well-off life.However, this is only conjecture.May I ask which man has never dreamed of this kind of time-traveling dream of changing the world and enriching the country and strengthening the people?

"Then after you close these schools, where will the children go to study?" Qin Shun asked.

"There are other village schools near the schools closed by Xiaguan. Although they have to walk a few more steps, they are better than before, both for their studies and for learning how to behave in the world." Chu Ci said.In the next year, he also wants to close some schools with only a dozen or 20 students, and then build schools among several villages to integrate resources. some more.

Qin Shun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but fortunately, he had just expected that this person would have an excuse, so he didn't act rashly, otherwise he might lose his wife and lose his army.

"How many people are there in these schools?" Qin Shun began to ask.

Chu Ci didn't answer directly, but hinted at Zhou Qing's answer.Zhou Qing was still a little nervous in the face of the school inspector appointed by the imperial court. He glanced at Chu Ci, got an encouraging look, and said: "There are 3556 people in this government, from young children to students, and 387 new students have been added this year. people……"

Time passed quietly between Qin Shun and Zhou Qing's question and answer.No matter which question Qin Shun asked, Zhou Qing could answer it quickly, with few mistakes or omissions.Chu Ci was very satisfied with Zhou Qing's answer, which showed that he was doing a good job.On the assessment form at the end of the year, an excellent grade is essential.

It seems that there is really nothing to ask here, so Qin Shun left here and turned to the next position.And the personnel in other positions are also like Zhou Qing, who can give satisfactory answers to Qin Shun's questions in a timely manner.

The more he asked, the more helpless Qin Shun became, because no matter from which point of view, the work of the Department of Education in Zhangzhou Prefecture was very good.The problems that have occurred in other state capitals have never existed here.Moreover, the reply by a special person made him only need to check a pair of materials, without the process of looking through, the inspection speed was much faster than before.

Before I knew it, I came to the last item.When Qin Shun asked where the records of the candidates and students who had passed the examination in the past three years were, Chu Ci thought to himself, it really came!He took out the documents and showed them to Qin Shun. After taking them, Qin Shun flipped through a few sheets casually, then put them down, and began to ask routine questions.

His actions made Chu Ci a little confused. Didn't Qin Shun check the case files all night just to make trouble at this time?Why was he so perfunctory when he reached this step? Could it be that he already knew what he was talking about?Chu Ci immediately became vigilant, thinking that Qin Shun might have another trick.

In fact, Qin Shun didn't forget it, but after experiencing so many stimuli before, he already felt from the bottom of his heart that Chu Ci was careful in doing the facts.The problem he had envisioned before was so obvious, he would definitely not make a mistake, so why waste energy and make fun of himself?
