Chapter 371 Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College
After Zhang Juzheng finished talking with Hu Zongxian, he talked with Gao Gong again, and then the two of them came to Zhu Zaijing to report the matter after some calculations.
After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Zhu Zaijing also laughed: "This Hu Zongxian has been silent for more than a year, and finally he has become more independent. Since he does not want to be held back by the trash of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, he also If you don’t want the city censor to interfere with normal management, then let him go to the Shu on his own and let us leave it alone.”
When Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng heard what Zhu Zaijing said, they did the same. They looked at each other for a moment, but soon their minds turned around.
Gao Gong replied in surprise: "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful move."
Zhu Zaijing smiled again and said: "Mr. Gao, how come this king's move is so wonderful?"
Gao Gongdao: "The prince asked Hu Zongxian to go to the bookstore and ask Shuntian Mansion to follow the model of the Capital Special Administrative Region. Isn’t this the greatest support for Hu Zongxian?” Both the cabinet ministers and Your Majesty will not be able to help but think about the changes made in the future integrated management of Tianfu."
"After all, our special zone can be allocated to each of the imperial court in one year. The amount of silver from planting taxes and other miscellaneous taxes has exceeded the one million taels of silver that can be paid to the court a year from the salt tax. Under the temptation of such huge profits, it is strange that the court and your majesty are not tempted."
< br>Zhu Zaijing smiled and said: "Mr. Gao's analysis is that this problem is indeed very realistic. But you must also keep in mind the saying 'Every man is not guilty but only carries the jade'! Since our special zone is now in a state of prosperity, It is inevitable that people will not be jealous and be tricked in secret. ”
"So, what I mean is that when you manage the administrative affairs of the special zone, you must also maintain a clear strategic focus and not blindly expand too much, which will lead to a series of dangers of quick success."
"After all, , I am trying to fight for fifty years for the capital special zone and other special zones. These fifty years are very long, and may span the span of three generations of emperors. Therefore, in order to avoid any accidents, the development of the special zones must be in accordance with the established plan. "Come on, don't act too hastily, causing frequent problems, and giving people a handle."
Furthermore, according to my official position in the Ming Dynasty and the ambitions of these two gentlemen, you will not be able to serve in the special zone of the capital at most. In five years, he will have to return to serve within the imperial court. Therefore, everything in the special zone must put stability first, and then choose to develop a number of important pillar industries based on the characteristics of the special zone. "
"If you just expect the SAR government to sell land in exchange for money, this is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench your thirst. For a while, it looks very gorgeous and glamorous, and it is a good business with huge profits. But what about in the long run? This will undoubtedly indirectly push up land prices and living costs in the outer cities of the capital. "
"The reason why the Special Administrative Region has achieved its current prosperous development is that, in addition to the Special Administrative Region having an administrative model and management system that is different from other places, the biggest source of confidence is the six to seven hundred thousand people in the outer city of the capital. ”
"So, for long-term development, we must wait for the thinking changes of these people and their development speed while developing. Otherwise, by then, the Capital Special Zone will become a place where these people who should have benefited from the development of the special zone will They also feel that it is out of reach, which means that we have ruined this special zone."
Zhu Zaijing's words also made Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng feel shocked. They had never thought like this. The problem is that they always think that they are focusing on the overall situation from a high position, so when doing some things, they will unconsciously ignore the development needs of the bottom.
Now that Zhu Zaijing had reminded them, the two of them could not help but feel afraid.
Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng quickly stood up and bowed to Zhu Zaijing: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for being alert!"
Zhu Zaijing chuckled and said, "It's not considered alert. In the light of these two gentlemen, Smart people will discover these problems sooner or later, but in the past year or so, powerful businessmen from various places have been too enthusiastic about buying land near the business district, which has led to the two gentlemen not seeing the subsequent problems for a while. He doesn’t participate in the actual management, so it’s only clear to the outside world.” “Today, I will point out this problem to you at the right time. Therefore, starting from this year, you must consciously allocate certain resources. , carry out new policy planning for ordinary people in the Capital Special Administrative Region.”
“For example, the residential buildings in some areas are messy and full of various dangers. You should consider whether to allocate a sum of money to help them build new streets and alleys.”
“At the same time, we must also consider the education and skills training of young people. We cannot end up with our special zone being rich, and the people are still ignorant and confused about what the future holds.”
“So, some Public schools and some important skills training schools must be opened as soon as possible, so that young people with learning ability can participate in the construction of the special zone as soon as possible after passing the study and training.”
What Zhu Zaijing said was plain and reliable. There was no nonsense or exaggeration. He thought of these issues based on his own heart.
Although the Ming Dynasty also had countless schools, as well as edicts specifically responsible for local education and wine sacrifices at the Central Imperial College, the educational direction of these people was all to serve the imperial examination.
There is no professional professional skills education, so even the many great inventors who appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were at most just rich kids with nothing to do and took advantage of their free time. Or only after failing in the imperial examination did he think of making scientific and technological inventions.
If we have to give them a lofty ideal title of "passionate about scientific inventions", then most of them are the result of wishful thinking by future generations hundreds of years later in order to find national pride.
After all, this era was still an era in which the hierarchy of "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants" was strict, even no less than the Indian caste system.
Of course, the only thing that makes India's caste system stronger is that ordinary people can change their destiny through the imperial examination and become a master. However, the caste system can only show birth and blood, which directly cuts off the opportunity for progress at the bottom.
But even so, the ruling system of "scholars, farmers, industry and merchants" is not necessarily much more benevolent than the caste system.
After all, in the imperial era and the era of melee before New China, more than 90% of the people were illiterate, and they would not even recognize a person if the carrying pole fell to the ground.
So it is undoubtedly a big joke to expect that more than 90% of the illiterate people will have the opportunity to change their fate through the imperial examination.
And in ancient society, Shang Yang, a representative of the "anti-human" Legalists, invented the Baojia system, and after the system of household registration and equalization of the people reaped the consequences, all subsequent dynasties regarded it as a model.
Although these "great inventions" maintained the relative stability of the feudal dynasty to a certain extent, they also caused ordinary people in ancient times to completely lose their right to move freely and became the prey of local wealthy households and officials. , the final life may be even more miserable than that of an indentured slave!
Therefore, in order to prevent the future of the special zone and the future of the people in the special zone from becoming miserable and numb due to the prevalence of new bureaucracy in a few years, Zhu Zaijing naturally thought of "skills education" in addition to the imperial examination.
As long as these people are willing to learn, their future will definitely be very different!
And Zhu Zaijing also thought of where to build a new technical college, which is the deserted land in the northwest corner of the capital today, and is also the location of what later generations called the "Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College".
In today’s terms, that area is an undeveloped virgin land. Not only is the development cost low, but the difficulty of development is also very low. At the same time, it allows students enrolled there to study calmly and calmly without being disturbed by the bustling world of the capital.
