Chapter 197 Starfire Liaoyuan

It was precisely because of the destruction of the thirteen high-ranking officials and nobles that everything went smoothly in the initial stage of the academy's enrollment.

However, these nobles obviously will not let it go.

If you can't do big moves, then make small moves.

Mo Jun's slogans of 'free admission' and 'include food and housing' are a huge opportunity for these nobles to take advantage.

compared to ordinary civilians.

There are many descendants of each family of these nobles.

If various concubines, collateral bloodlines, illegitimate children, etc. are added, a clan can have at least dozens of bloodline descendants.

And if you choose casually from them, you can pick out more than a dozen school-age children.

If these nobles are allowed to throw these children into the 'New Academy' at will, it will not only bring a greater burden to the academy's finances, but more importantly, they will also occupy the admission qualifications of other ordinary civilians.

Even the task that many noble children received from the very beginning was not to enter the academy to study, but to go there to wreak havoc and disrupt the normal order of the academy.

Many nobles are not stupid.

At first they might not be able to see Mo Jun and Ying Zheng's plans, but when the new academy started recruiting students, they immediately realized it.

These nobles want to protect their rights and status, and they don't want anyone in this world to threaten their privileges, even if there is only a slight possibility.

But alas, times have changed.

These aristocrats secretly made some small moves behind their backs. They thought that Mo Jun would play with them, but in Hanzhong today, Mo Jun is the one who sets the rules.

As for fairness?

What a joke.

Mo Junke never said that fairness will be emphasized in the enrollment this time.

He said that in this enrollment, all nobles and commoners are treated equally, but the 'vision' in this equal treatment uses Mo Jun's own eyes.

Mo Jun never thought of eliminating class and privilege, even he himself maintained the existence of class and privilege.

For example: the main courtyard of the new academy.

The General Academy of the Academy located in [Shengping Town] is the only academy that does not recruit students from outsiders. [-]% of the admission qualifications in this academy are given to some of the top nobles in the Qin Kingdom.

[-]% was given to the rich merchants and landlords who contributed a lot of 'investment' to the academy.

The last [-]% is reserved for some folks who have passed the assessment, the so-called 'geniuses'.

Mo Jun never minds the existence of privileges and classes, because privileges and classes themselves are one of the driving forces that motivate human beings to strive upward.

What he wants to break is 'monopoly' and 'solidification'.

Mo Jun is very clear that a large part of the civilians who recruited this time send their children to the academy for the sake of 'eating and drinking', and even with the idea that the academy can help them raise their children for free.

But he didn't care.

Because it is enough that only one percent, or even one thousandth of these children can achieve something.

After all, for the vast majority of people at the bottom.

Whether reading can bring benefits to people, in fact, no one knows, and they can't even say what is the use of reading.

And many people understand that even if they read a book, they may not be able to become talents in the future.

But what if?

The academy built by Mo Jun is like a candle on a dark road. Although the light is very weak, it represents a glimmer of hope.

Man is a tenacious and terrifying creature.

Through the ages.

I don't know how many heroes and heroes have made feats that are famous through the ages just by relying on a faint ray of light.

And when these faint lights start to ignite, it will eventually cause a prairie fire.

"By the way, those nobles who apply for admission don't have to be driven away. You just need to keep three people from each family according to the rules. In addition, tell all the teachers of the academy to maintain the order of the academy. If anyone dares to make trouble, don't be polite."

"Yes!"

Chen Jing replied.

In fact, Mo Jun's last exhortation was a bit superfluous. The relationship between the masters of the academy and the students these days is not as harmonious as that of later generations.

If there are students who dare to make trouble in the classroom, they will be fined severely, or directly expelled from the academy.

However, in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the authority of the nobles and causing chaos in the academy, Mo Jun still said a word.

"In addition, in the next period of time, many people from other places may come to Hanzhong to study. As a county guard, you must also make corresponding preparations."

"Your Majesty understands."

The academy Mo Jun built this time is based on the layout of future generations. Although the scale is not large, an academy can accommodate at least a thousand people.

In other words.

If all the academies are fully recruited, it is absolutely possible to absorb 10,000+ students at the same time.

The current total population of Hanzhong is only 10,000+. It is obviously impossible to meet the needs of the academy with Hanzhong alone, so many days ago, Yingzheng sent people to various counties and counties in Qin State to promote it.

And this is also a good opportunity for Mo Jun to absorb the population for Hanzhong.

There is a severe labor shortage in Hanzhong today.

Ever since Mr. Mo expropriated the land from the former aristocratic forces and redistributed it in the form of 'semi-public ownership', the entire Hanzhong farmland has been magically created, with at least 30 to [-] mu of farmland out of thin air.

In addition, after that, Mo Jun bought a large number of cattle, and cooperated with [Quyuanli] to reclaim a large number of new fields.

a time.

With the current population of Hanzhong, it is already a little bit powerless just to cultivate the farmland.

Not to mention that Hanzhong is still engaged in heavy industry, road construction, bridge building, iron smelting, papermaking... and the coolies needed for various commercial developments.

If it wasn't because he couldn't do it, Mo Jun really wanted to split all the population of Hanzhong into two.

Not to mention that in the second half of this year, the second half of [Qinping Avenue] will be officially opened. By then, there will be more merchants passing through Hanzhong, and the demand for various types of labor will also be greater.

Therefore, in the second half of this year, according to Mo Jun's plan, Hanzhong needs to attract at least 5 people from the outside world, and there is no upper limit.

This task is not easy.

Although the standard of living in Hanzhong is well known everywhere, in this day and age, most common people have a kind of unwillingness to leave their hometowns.

Unless there are some force majeure natural disasters and man-made disasters, most people will choose to guard their family property and will not leave easily even if they live in hardship.

But it won't be long before the war between Qin and South Korea will start, and Mo Jun can just take advantage of this time to absorb the victims.

It can not only strengthen Hanzhong, but also provide a way of life for those who are homeless due to the flames of war.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Mo Jun lay on the armchair and muttered: "Well! Enrollment absorbs 1 people, war absorbs 4 people, start with [-] people, the more the better... Speaking of it, Xiong Da and the others seem to have almost arrived It's Nanyang!"
