Sun Yuanhua nodded, then took the roster from those clerks, and began to assign manpower to these stewards.

After the distribution, it was already afternoon.

These stewards took the rosters and led their respective men to collect their captives.

Zhao Yi was assigned to Manager Li, who was in charge of building the railway to Datong Town.

Li Guanshi led the captives assigned to him to the side of the construction site he was in charge of. Standing on a stone, he shouted at these hundreds of people: "You are all a group of captives now. Now your responsibility is to follow I'm talking about building these railroads."

Li Guanshi pointed to the half-built railway next to him, and said again: "You have never seen these things before, and you don't know how to build a railway, and workers will teach you later.

Let me tell you, you are just a group of captives. You didn't have a penny when you built the railway, and you were provided with three meals a day.

Of course, it is not for you to work endlessly, you only need to work here for two years.After two years, you will be free.

At that time, if you don't want to leave, you can still apply to become workers of the construction team.Our Xuan Town pays the workers very well. Each worker gets two silver dollars a month. If they do a good job, they will be rewarded. "

A smile gradually appeared on Zhao Yi's face, "Two silver dollars, my dear, Xuan Town must be rich.

Silver dollars are a good thing. In Daizhou City, one silver dollar can be exchanged for one, two, three, four.Calculated in this way, there are nearly three taels of ordinary silver in a month.

Isn't it just two years? As long as you survive for two years, when you make money, you will get a daughter-in-law first. "

A trace of excitement gradually appeared on Zhao Yi's face, not only Zhao Yi, but all the prisoners who heard Li Guanshi's voice began to get excited.

Three meals a day, in Daizhou, only two meals a day in good times, and not enough to eat, and work for Shangguan when the farming is busy.

Anyway, it's all work, so it's better to work for these people, at least you won't treat yourself badly.

After Li Guanshi babbled a few words to these prisoners, he led them to the construction site.

In order to prevent these captives from making trouble, the team in charge of the work also hurriedly followed behind the captives.

Building railways, especially the most primitive steam engine railways, is not a sophisticated thing, so these captives learned very quickly.

"It's nothing more than laying the foundation, laying the wooden stakes, and then putting the iron bars on the wooden stakes, which is too simple.

I may not be able to repair bricks and tiles, but I can do this kind of work once I see it, although I don’t know what to build these things for. Zhao Yi looked at the workers who were building the railway and said confidently.

These captives stood quietly in front of the construction site, watching the workers at work, and the time passed slowly.

The sun had completely set on the western mountain, and the whole world began to darken.

"Okay, that's it for today. It's getting late now, and you will start working officially tomorrow." Steward Li looked at the sky that had begun to darken, turned around to look at the prisoners, and at the same time rang a bell. Worker's gong.

……

At the same time, Zhao Wen was sitting in the hall of the Zongbing Yamen. He looked at Song Hu and Liu Wu standing in front of him, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, finally took down the entire Shanxi town."

"My lord, when the rest of the Shanxi town saw our army, they didn't resist at all and surrendered directly. We said we were going to fight, rather than accepting the surrender." Song Hu said carelessly with an excited expression on his face.

"By the way, did you bring those captives back? How many are there in total?" Zhao Wen asked.

Liu Wu chuckled, "My lord, there are a lot of prisoners this time, there are more than 8000 in total."

"So, including the captives from Shanxi Town, we have a total of nearly [-] captives. Pass my order to keep [-] captives in Shanxi Town, and escort all the rest to Xuan Town and hand them over to Sun Yuanhua."

Shanxi Town is one of the important towns in the Nine Borders. In the early Ming Dynasty, each town in the Nine Borders had almost [-] soldiers. However, with the collapse of the Weisuo system, military households fled seriously, and the number of troops became less and less.

By the time of Chongzhen, there were only 2 soldiers left in Shanxi Town.

"We left between 100 and 3000 people in the occupied military fort, and there are almost [-] people left in total." Liu Wu said again.

Zhao Wen nodded, "You've done a good job, the remaining people can hold the occupied place firmly in their hands."

Early the next morning, Zhao Wen divided the 200 captives into four batches, and each batch of captives was escorted to Xuanzhen by [-] people.

After dealing with these matters, Zhao Wen left more than 2000 people in Shanxi Town, including more than [-] prisoners.

Zhao Wen divided the Chinese army he led into two parts, each with 3 people, led by him and Zhao Daniu respectively.

In addition to Song Hu's former army, Zhao Wenbing divided into three groups and attacked directly to the south of Shanxi.

Song Hu is in the west, Zhao Daniu is in the east, and Zhao Wen is in the middle.

As for Song Hu, he was arranged by Zhao Wen to be the last to gather the captives.

Zhao Wen stood in the school grounds of Zhencheng, Shanxi. Following Zhao Wen's order, the three-way army set out from Zhencheng, Shanxi like a strong wind.

The current main target of Zhao Wen's middle road is Taiyuan Mansion.

At this time, Liu Wenzhong also received a letter from Zhao Wen.

After Liu Wenzhong read Zhao Wen's letter, he hurriedly gathered the civil servants in the town to deal with the matters arranged by Zhao Wen.

After intense discussions, Liu Wenzhong finally chose to select 200 students from the university now opened in Xuanzhen.Then selected some senior, capable, and loyal scribes from various ministries in Xuanzhen.

Liu Wenzhong merged these people together, and then selected 1 reserve soldiers to organize into a huge team and go to Shanxi Town.

In order to prevent insufficient manpower in the future, Liu Wenzhong has the idea of ​​expanding the university's enrollment.

The school in Xuanzhen is mainly in charge of by Liu Wenzhong, so there is nothing wrong with Liu Wenzhong's expansion of enrollment.

Now it is only Shanxi Town, and in a while it will be the whole of Shanxi.

There is only one university in Xuanzhen now, with a total of 2000 students in it.

These 2000 people seem to be a lot, but as the territory continues to expand in the future, judging from the current number, it is not enough at all.

Moreover, it is impossible for all the students in this university to be sent out. If they were all sent out, wouldn't the university be abolished?

The students recruited by the university in Xuanzhen are basically young people in their 20s. After all, the main purpose of Zhao Wen's university is to train local officials and researchers who will conduct research in the future.

Middle school graduates are also within the scope of the university's enrollment, but the school has only been established for a few years, and the earliest batch of middle school students have not yet met the graduation requirements.

Although the students in the university did not meet the graduation requirements, they were much better than those in middle school and elementary school. Otherwise, Liu Wenzhong would not have been able to select those who would go to Shanxi Town in the university.

Now the colleges in Xuanzhen are basically young people in their twenties who have studied, and some of them even have a reputation as a scholar.

Too young for either party.However, if you are too old, your thoughts have been fixed, and your ability to accept new ideas is very poor.

The age of 20 is the age group with the most active thinking and the fastest acceptance of new ideas in one's life, and young people in this age group are energetic and efficient.

After dispatching the manpower requested by Zhao Wen, Liu Wenzhong brought Tang Ruowang over.

Today, Tang Ruowang is mainly in charge of two middle schools, and is also the principal of the only university in Xuanzhen.

Now he has already resigned from the position of Qin Tianjian, and stays in Xuanzhen wholeheartedly.

Tang Ruowang rode a bicycle and parked at the gate of the office compound, tidied up his clothes, and walked in.

Since the bicycle and tricycle were brought out by Zhao Wen, there has been a trend of cycling in Xuan Town.

Especially in the town of Xuanzhen, if anyone can't ride a bicycle, he will be laughed at.

Now you can see young people riding bicycles to and from get off work everywhere on the streets of Xuanzhen, and there are also vendors selling goods on tricycles.

"My lord, are you looking for me?" Tang Ruowang walked into Liu Wenzhong's classroom and looked at Liu Wenzhong.

Liu Wenzhong put down the brush in his hand, stood up, pointed to the chair next to him with a smile on his face, "Mr. Tang, sit down."

Tang Ruowang nodded and sat on the chair next to him.

"I came to you today to tell you something. I plan to expand the enrollment of the university. The main people for the expansion are those young people in Xuanzhen who are around 20 years old and have a reputation as a scholar." Liu Wenzhong sat behind the desk again , said slowly.

Chapter 388 University Enrollment Expansion

"This is a good thing. Now the entire Xuan Town is booming and the people are getting richer. It's the right time to recruit more students." Tang Ruowang kept nodding, agreeing with Liu Wenzhong's idea very much.

"In that case, I will leave this matter to you, after all, you are good at this."

As Liu Wenzhong spoke, he took out a piece of paper and began to write on it.

The content on the paper is mainly Liu Wenzhong's arrangement for this expansion of enrollment, which includes a series of things such as the number of recruits, the method of enrollment, and so on.

"The method of recruitment should follow the method of the previous exam. As for the exam questions, you can arrange these things yourself, and I won't interfere too much." After Liu Wenzhong finished writing, he handed over the enrollment expansion regulations to Tang Ruowang.

Tang Ruowang took the regulations, looked at them for a while, and then bowed his hands to Liu Wenzhong, "Does Master Liu have anything else to do? If not, then I will retire first?"

"No more, you can go down." Liu Wenzhong waved his hands, and then lay down on the table again, busy with his own affairs.

Tang Ruowang stuffed the regulations into his arms and walked out of the office hall.

Looking at the sun in the sky, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, "This is a place of freedom and respect for knowledge, and everyone here is very enlightened. If everyone in the empire is like Xuanzhen, how great would it be?"

Tang Ruowang knew that the empire would never become like Xuanzhen.

Tang Ruowang rode his bicycle and headed towards the university in Xuanzhen.

The university in Xuanzhen is located outside the city of Xuanzhen and was built independently.

The shape of the university building is generally similar to that of this era, the only difference is that there is a seven-story building in the center of the university.

This building is not only the school's library, but also the office of the school's faculty and staff. It also houses the school's student files and other materials.

The entire school covers an area that is not large, and it is incomparable with the universities of later generations.

But in this era, it is already considered good. There are more than 50 classrooms in the school, all of which are made of cement.

There are also various laboratories in the school, but these laboratories are still the most basic laboratories.

The school is a square with the library building in the middle.

In front of the library there is a square that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The square is paved with cement and surrounded by willow trees.

The classrooms of the school are arranged radially around the library, and the student dormitory building is at the outermost edge.

There is a lot of greening in the school, and there are trees next to almost every road.

There is an artificial lake in the southeast of the school, covering an area of ​​about seven or eight acres.

To the west of the school is a huge playground, which is paved with cement, and there is a viewing platform beside the playground.

The whole school is surrounded by a tall wall, with a total of two gates, a south gate and a north gate.

The south gate is the main gate, which is similar in structure to the university gates of later generations.

Just above the gate hangs a school name plaque written by Liu Wenzhong.

The name of the school is also very simple, it is called Daming University.

The design of the entire university was designed by Zhao Wen with reference to the universities of later generations. Except for the different shapes of the buildings, the overall layout of the universities is not much different from that of later generations of universities.

Tang Ruowang rode his bicycle to the bottom of the library building, parked his bicycle in the carport under the library building, and then walked in.

His office is on the second floor of the building, next door to a huge conference room.

Tang Ruowang walked into his office, opened the window, sat on his desk, spread the regulations that Liu Wenzhong handed over to him on the desk, and then began to copy them.

After copying, he sealed the regulations that Liu Wenzhong had handed over to him, and then walked out of the office with the copied regulations.

Time passed slowly, and after lunch, the sky dimmed.

Because there is no electricity, there is no such thing as late self-study in the university at this time.

After a day of teaching, all the teachers returned to their offices in the library building to pack up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Ruowang gathered all the teachers into the conference room.

The meeting room was brightly lit by dozens of tallow candles, and the teacher who was hit by Tang Ruowang sat quietly on the chair in the meeting room.

The layout of the meeting room is similar to the layout of the meeting room in later generations of universities. The leader sits at the front of the meeting room, while ordinary faculty and staff sit opposite the university leader.

Except for Tang Ruowang and others among these teachers, the rest are all young teachers trained by Zhao Wen himself in advance.

After a short meeting, Liu Wenzhong's enrollment expansion plan was finally implemented, and various details of the enrollment expansion were also finalized.

Like the previous admissions, the admissions this time are also in the form of examinations, and the admissions are made in order of grades.

A total of 4000 students will be enrolled in this expansion, and only two subjects, Chinese Studies and Mathematics, will be taken.

As for the news of the expansion of enrollment, it will also be passed on through the Da Ming Daily.

"The test papers for the exam also hope that everyone can work together and try to make the test papers within two days.

According to Mr. Liu Wenzhong's plan, the exam is scheduled for five days later, that is, October [-]rd. Please hurry up.

As for this exam, it will be publicized through the Da Ming Daily. Starting tomorrow, we will have to register the number of applicants and arrange the exam room, so it will be hard for you these few days. "

Tang Ruowang announced the adjournment of the meeting after a few words of advice.
