Chapter 978

"My mother has an open mind, which is beyond people's reach." father-in-law Xu bent over and sincerely praised.

He thought that Jiang Chan would completely eliminate the pulse of Zuo Xiang, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chan provided Han Xiang with another way.

"The teacher who is teaching at present, let's send skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of work to pay attention to good seedlings at any time." he said faintly, and Jiang Chan buried himself in playing compromise again.

In the past six months, the officials have also been pragmatic. The memorials are all based on the template given by Jiang Chan. The first two or three sentences of what happened are explained clearly, and then explained in detail, which also improves Jiang Chan's work efficiency.

This template will soon be used in all parts of the world, which makes us focus more on dealing with government affairs rather than focusing on rhetoric.

As the first capable person in front of the empress dowager, Grandpa Xu is also respected when he goes out. Although he didn't understand why father-in-law Xu came to his house, Han Xiang still treated father-in-law Xu respectfully.

Although he was muttering in his heart, he was no longer an official in the court. It is reasonable to say that the ups and downs in the court should not involve him.

Father Xu threw away the dust and said, "the Donglai academy built by my mother is about to be completed in a few days. The academy is short of a mountain leader. Mr. Han is a great scholar all over the world. He is the only candidate for the mountain leader of the Academy."

Han Xiang frowned: "I'm old. How important the position of mountain chief is. I'm powerless."

Father Xu has a needle in his pocket: "Mr. Han is too modest. You are old and strong. You should be benevolent! The Empress Dowager directly named Mr. Han. The mountain leader should not live up to the Empress Dowager's painstaking efforts."

For this reason, Han Xiang will go if he doesn't want to. He wanted to see what medicine the Empress Dowager sold in her gourd.

He has been idle at home for half a year, and he has not blocked the news outside. For example, the war in Xiliang was defeated, the unrest in Lingnan subsided, and the locust disaster in the eastern counties was minimized.

Behind everything, there is the shadow of the empress dowager, which makes Han Xiang more and more unable to see through her. To be honest, since he resigned, he had thought that Zuo Xiang's pulse would usher in a great purge. After all, which superior did not eliminate dissidents after he ascended?

No one expected that the Empress Dowager was calm, although at the beginning of her reign, she was an iron hand, a scribe and a beheader. But after this series of iron and blood means, she began the Huairou strategy again.

Thinking of this, Han Xiang couldn't help sighing. Even if Huairou could tolerate other factions jumping under his own eyes, how big would it take?

But from the perspective of Jiang Chan, it was not easy to cultivate a talent in the feudal era. What's more, are Zuo Xiang's pulse really the generation of sneaking and patting horses? Not necessarily. There are also people with real talent and learning.

Her previous attacks were all borers facing the hall. Such people should naturally be cleared from the ranks of officials. As for other officials, if they keep their own, Jiang Chan doesn't mind giving them a chance.

Besides, it's easy to kill, but this is the most inferior strategy. It's the best strategy to get the attention of other departments and let them do their best.

"Dad, are you really going to be the head of this academy? My son heard that this academy not only teaches four books and five classics, but almost everything. The teachers who teach are now skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of industry."

"If you were to be the head of Donglai academy, wouldn't it make everyone laugh?" Han Yao's face was full of disapproval and secretly hated the insidious move of the Empress Dowager.

His father, who was a dignified Zuo Xiang before his resignation, was also a great scholar in knowledge. Now he has been reduced to being the head of a lower Jiuliu college. Can he feel better?

Yes, in Han Yao's heart, the subjects set up by the college advocated by the Empress Dowager are purely inferior. He always thinks that reading is the best, and all the other subjects are not on the table.

"What can I do? I'll go if I don't go. I'll go to see the situation for my father first. If I can't, I'll call in sick and ask for leave." Han Xiang is also bald. He won't go back at all.

"It can only be so." Han Yao was helpless. Has their family become a thorn in the eye of the Empress Dowager? His father resigned and did not participate in the affairs of the court. The Empress Dowager also came out.

Jiang Chan has attracted a lot of attention as soon as she makes a move. Moreover, the Donglai Academy was built by her, which has attracted the attention of everyone.

On this day, the Academy was officially completed and began to recruit students. There are also quite a number of subjects, ranging from hydrography to farmland chores.

Only those who have a skill can teach in the Academy, and if there are students interested in which subject, the Academy will contact the corresponding teachers to focus on training.

As for the collection of four books and five classics, which should have received great attention, it only accounts for a part of the Academy. For this situation of the Academy, the outside world is mixed.

Everyone agrees that Donglai college will not be long, but is this really the case? Jiang Chan smiled. This is her reserve for selecting talents. Moreover, in the future, we can transfer these knowledge to the outside. One day, a single spark can start a prairie fire.

She never thinks reading is useless, but sometimes reading doesn't mean she can do practical things. You see, many scholars from ancient times to modern times are almost absent-minded. To be honest, Jiang Chan really despises these people.

If one day, the people all have their own skills. They don't have to dig in the ground and depend on heaven for food, how good would it be?

No matter what the external situation is, the enrollment of Donglai college is very popular. After all, the main slogan is to teach without discrimination. Especially in the capital, almost all families sent their children to the Academy for classes.

This is an academy advocated by the queen mother. The children of officials don't come. Isn't that deliberately against the queen mother? So anyway, everyone sent their children.

As for whether it is a legitimate son or a common son, it depends on the ideas of each family.

On the other side of the Academy, Jiang Chan also opened a women's Academy. All of them are well-known female teachers, which is also the most criticized place. No one has ever opened a women's college. Everyone believes that women's lack of talent is virtue.

As soon as the Academy was opened, none of the officials signed up. All the girls who came were civilians. Here we learn all kinds of skills, such as reading, calligraphy, home arithmetic, life and so on.
