Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 335 The Ming Dynasty is quietly changing

As Houshan College enrolls more and more students, Chen Ce feels relieved.

He waved to the Zhang brothers and said, "Let's go. You guys take your time to watch."

Zhang brothers: "..."

As business develops, the demand for professional talent is growing, and the remuneration offered will certainly get better and better.

This is the inevitability of the development of a market economy.

Not every scholar can pass the examination and become a scholar, juren or even jinshi.

Under this premise, learning a skill may not be a bad thing. Laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. This is a truth that should be followed in any era.

After learning accounting and taxation well, it is easy to find an easy and high-paying job in business. How to choose? The grand occasion of Houshan College has given the answer.

Previously, this profession was passed down from generation to generation, and everyone kept it to themselves for fear that their skills would be stolen from them.

What Chen Ce is doing now is to change the traditional concept of cherishing what is precious.

Now that the Zhou family has opened an accounting school, what’s next?

When seeing that it is profitable to open such a college, will schools be derived to cultivate talents in various social industries such as architecture and medicine?

Will do.

Shouting slogans every day about revitalizing China and revitalizing the Ming Dynasty is useless. No one studies knowledge truly for the national interest, but more for themselves.

You tell him that studying medicine can save more people, but the premise is that medicine doesn’t make money. How many people do you think will study it?
But you have to tell him that studying medicine can save more lives, and that advanced medical technology can make a lot of money among the people. How many people will study it then?
Chen Ce understands the laws of social operation and human nature too well. It is useless to shout slogans at them. Only by letting them taste the sweetness can this industry flourish.

There have only been two saints in the whole of China so far, and not everyone can become a saint.

Previously, Chen Ce, Qin Hong and others had been secretly developing the Ming Dynasty's business. When the business developed to a certain extent, there would inevitably be a demand for professional talents.

This will in turn drive the development of professional talents in various industries, thereby completing the training of talents in various industries such as business and medical care, and avoiding the distortion of the country's education industry.

……

Houshan College is not only being paid attention to by the Zhou family, but also by the powerful people like Chen Ce and the Zhang family. In fact, there are many, many people paying attention to it.

For example, Qin Hong, the cabinet, Emperor Hongzhi, the Imperial College, and the Hanlin Academy.

There are so many people paying attention to it.

When the news that Houshan College was overcrowded today reached Xie Duo, the chief academician of the Imperial College, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"That kid is incredible!" Xie Jijiu said this meaningfully, leaving all the doctors in the Imperial College a little confused.

Household Department.

After Qin Hong heard about the situation at Houshan College, he was about to leave when the Minister of Works Xu Guan came to him.

"Old Qin."

Xu Guan looked solemn. Qin Hong held his hands. He knew what Xu Guan wanted to say and smiled, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Have you noticed? The Ming Dynasty is quietly changing now."

Xu Guan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted!
Yes, the Ming Dynasty seems to be changing. If in the past, you said you wanted to set up an academy, and the academy did not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but taught other strange and tricky things, who would go to learn it?
But this time, Houshan College was not teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, yet so many students were eager to go there to study.

why?
If Chen Ce had not laid out his business plans in advance and if Daming's business had not flourished, would Daming's education industry have reached this point?

The Ming Dynasty was changing quietly, but if you savor it carefully, you will know that there is an invisible hand behind the scenes that is constantly pushing the Ming Dynasty to change! These changes are subtle and silent, and they are moving step by step quietly. When it bears fruit, it seems unlikely to be reversed.

And the person who did all this was that monster!

……

In the cabinet, the three elders initially paid attention to Houshan Academy because of the recent ridicule made by the Zhang brothers in the capital.

They had also heard about the previous grievances between the Zhang and Zhou families, but since both families were top-level relatives of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet could not intervene.

Later, they heard that Houshan Academy did not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but instead taught accounting, finance, taxation and other knowledge, which made the three cabinet elders start to pay attention.

The cabinet did not come out to criticize Houshan College. Although they were of a formal Confucian origin, they did not believe from the bottom of their hearts that Houshan College would cause any waves in the Ming Dynasty.

Until today, when they heard about the enrollment situation of Houshan College, the three cabinet ministers could not help but pay attention to it.

They couldn't understand why Houshan College suddenly enrolled so many students?

Why didn't these students of the Ming Dynasty take the imperial examinations? Why did so many students give up the imperial examinations and start learning these "unorthodox methods" instead?

Oh, because there is a demand for such talents in business, the business development of the Ming Dynasty will bring more benefits to such professionals.

That's why.

"Mr. Liu, I always feel that these things seem to be linked together, and someone is artificially pushing all of this." Li Dongyang spoke with his eyes narrowed.

Xie Qian was pondering on the side.

Liu Jian suddenly widened his eyes, gasped, and said, "It's true!"

First, develop business, and after it has developed to a certain extent, start to reform education, no longer requiring all the educated people in the country to study the Four Books and Five Classics and the Eight-legged Essay.

Before this, people like Li Mengyang had criticized the eight-legged essay, believing that this kind of scholarship fettered students' creativity, so they wrote articles to criticize it continuously.

Many people identify with Li Mengyang.

But it's of no use, at most they can just criticize, they have no ability to change the status quo, they can only use articles to criticize and complain!
But now someone has actually done all this, which makes the cabinet sigh.

"The Zhou family really produced some talented people!" Liu Jian sighed.

Xie Qian, who had been silent the whole time, asked, "Did the Zhou family really do all this?"

After hearing this, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were stunned. If it’s not the Zhou family... then who else could it be?
……

Qianqing Palace.

Huai En hurriedly found Emperor Hongzhi and told him that the Zhou family's accounting school opened today and received many students.

Emperor Hongzhi was not as shocked as he had imagined, because without his approval, Chen Ce alone would not be able to push these things forward.

What surprised Emperor Hongzhi was that such a school could actually attract so many students?

What will the future hold? Will there be more specialized schools?
Following this trend, it will definitely happen. Even if those great scholars do not take action, the profit-seeking businessmen will follow the Zhou family's example.

In addition to businessmen, I am afraid that more relatives and dignitaries will also open such schools.

Emperor Hongzhi had a complicated expression on his face, "I don't know whether it is good or bad..."
