    Liu Jin's affirmation of Huguang also made Wei Ying very happy. What he wanted was this effect. He worked hard and worked hard. It goes without saying that he wanted fame, but more importantly, he wanted to go further.

    Wei Ying and Gao Jiang are both officials in their sixties. To be honest, if they can't go further, according to Ming Dynasty rules, these local officials will retire at the age of 65, so they won't be able to work for long.

    But if you can be promoted to a Beijing official, you can work until you are 70 and retire. And unless your health is really bad, a Beijing official will usually stay on once or twice, and you can work until you are 80.

    Just like Liu Jian, the current chief minister of the cabinet, he is now seventy-six years old. Logically speaking, he should have retired and gone home to take care of his old age. However, he is in good health and is the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi, so he can work until he is eighty.

    In fact, many famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, such as Wang Zhi, Wang Shu, Yang Shiqi, etc., were already eighty years old when they retired. Those in their sixties are considered young people among Beijing officials.

    If you are a local feudal official and you say you want to retire when you are over sixty years old, and write to the emperor asking for a favor to return to your hometown for retirement, you will generally agree. If the emperor has no impression of you, he will not retain you at all.

    It¡¯s different for Beijing officials. You hang around in front of the emperor every day, and you become familiar with it. Even if you don¡¯t have any great achievements or great talents, the emperor will keep you for a while as usual.

    Like Li Dongyang, when he was in the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, his head was dizzy, and his eldest son died of illness. He asked to resign many times, but Emperor Hongzhi did not agree. In the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, he fell ill again and begged for retirement many times.  Still not sure.

    On the one hand, this is because Li Dongyang is indeed talented and a capable minister. Emperor Hongzhi needs his assistance. On the other hand, it is also because he is a Beijing official or a cabinet minister. It is routine to retain him many times. If you are a local official, even if  You are talented, but if the emperor is not familiar with you, how can he retain you?

    As for other officials, unless they are very good friends with you, I hope you will quickly give up a position so that you can arrange for your own people to take over.

    So Wei Ying was naturally very happy when he heard what Liu Jin said, especially the last sentence. If Emperor Hongzhi knew about it, he would definitely be even happier, which made him even more excited.

    After you have done this, you still need to let the higher ups know, especially the emperor, which is the most important thing. As long as the emperor has a good impression of you, your promotion will be like a rocket ride.

    Just like the Liu Jin in front of me, he is only in his thirties, and he is already in a high position of authority and a very popular minister. According to the normal process, even if Liu Jin is the number one scholar, it is absolutely impossible for him to be said to have won the first prize in such a short period of time.  I sat in this position when I was young.

    Not only because of Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s appreciation, but also because of the famous people around Emperor Hongzhi, coupled with Liu Jin¡¯s own abilities, he was able to accomplish the impossible.

    "Thank you Mr. Liu for your affirmation~"

    ¡°Huguang can be what it is today, all of which cannot be separated from the gift of the emperor and the help of all the princes in the court.¡±

    Wei Ying also quickly replied with a smile.

    "Mr. Gao, how is the situation here in Jiangxi?"

    Liu Jin nodded, turned to look at Gao Jiang, and asked about the situation in Jiangxi.

    "Thanks to the great blessing of the emperor, and also to the support of the princes of the DPRK and China, Jiangxi has been in good weather in recent years, and its grain output has increased year by year. Last year's grain output increased by 15% compared with the year before."

    "In addition, our Jiangxi Province has opened five new colleges and universities in recent years, more than 100 new middle schools, thousands of new primary schools, three new academies, and more than 300 private schools. All school-age children in Jiangxi have  You can go to school.¡±

    Gao Jiang also quickly reported to Liu Jin.

    What is a little different from Huguang is that Gaojiang attaches great importance to education, so he has been trying to find ways to open more schools. Whether they are new schools, traditional private schools or academies, they all strongly support it.

    ¡°Five institutions of higher learning?¡±

    Liu Jin was dumbfounded when he heard this. Jiangxi is too powerful. There are five colleges and universities in one place. You must know that most provinces in Ming Dynasty do not have their own colleges and universities.

    This is mainly because the funds for setting up colleges and universities are provided by Liu Jin himself. Therefore, if Liu Jin does not provide money for these local provinces, unless they raise funds themselves to handle it, there will basically be no colleges and universities.  Establishment of colleges and universities.

    But Liu Jin knew very well that he did not spend money to build new colleges and universities in Jiangxi. They actually opened five colleges and universities, which is a bit incredible.

    "Yes, Mr. Liu~"

    ¡°These five institutions of higher learning are all ours.??The ones in Jiangxi that have been run with their own money and efforts are Jiangxi Institute of Technology, Jiangxi Institute of Chemical Technology, Gannan University, Jiangxi Normal University, and Jiangxi Institute of Technology.  "

    "Since Mr. Liu founded the new school, we here in Jiangxi have been constantly learning. We also imitated the colleges and universities you founded and established these five colleges with the purpose of cultivating more new talents."

    Gao Jiang nodded solemnly and replied.

    "You Jiangxi people are really amazing. You are able to organize five colleges and universities on your own, and you are also able to popularize education throughout Jiangxi and let all children of school age go to school. It is really amazing!"

    Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but sigh after hearing this.

    At this time, Jiangxi people are really awesome!

    In later generations, Jiangxi was a retarded existence, with no economy, no transportation, and no people there. It seems that apart from the high betrothal gifts and reputation, many people didn¡¯t even know that Jiangxi existed.  Province.

    But at this time, Jiangxi is so awesome.

    During the Song and Ming dynasties, Jiangxi produced too many talents and capable people. In the early Ming Dynasty, half of the officials in the court were from Jiangxi. It was definitely not a joke, but it was true that nearly half of the officials were from Jiangxi.

    Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Jiangnan, these three places are all famous as the hometowns of exam masters, and they have produced countless talented people.

    ??While other places still rely on Liu Jin¡¯s support to establish new schools, Jiangxi has actually begun to prepare for new schools, and has established five higher new colleges in one breath.

    It can be seen from this that there were many capable and wealthy people in Jiangxi during this period. Otherwise, how could it be possible to build five colleges and universities in one go? Liu Jin knew that it was necessary to build a college of higher education.  The money is very huge, not to mention maintaining its teaching and research.

    "Mr. Liu has given me the award~"

    "We here in Jiangxi may not be as good as other places, but we attach great importance to education. In the past, everyone liked to raise funds to set up private schools and colleges, so a large number of talented people emerged."

    "It's the same now. Whether it's traditional education or new education, it's all about cultivating talents. Even if we Jiangxi people eat less and wear worse clothes, we still have to keep up with the times and make every effort to build schools so that more people can  More children can go to school.¡±

    "Of course, these are gifts from the emperor and cannot be separated from the strong support of the princes in the court. Without your support, Mr. Liu, we would not be able to build so many new schools so that every child can go to school."

    Gao Jiang replied with a smile.

    Although he is not from Jiangxi, he has been an official in Jiangxi for many years and is already half Jiangxi.

    The literary style here in Jiangxi is extremely prosperous, and they like to run schools, large and small private schools, and there are countless academies. There are many famous academies, such as Bailuzhou Academy, Bailudong Academy and Ehu Academy, all of which were famous during this period.  This is why there are many officials from Jiangxi, and the tradition of attaching importance to education has continued.

    As the chief envoy of Jiangxi, Gao Jiang knew that Liu Jin liked to run schools and new colleges. Jiangxi itself had a prosperous literary style and everyone liked to run colleges.

    Therefore, he also gave strong guidance and support, and built five new higher education institutions in one breath, and a lot of middle schools and elementary schools. He was sure that this would definitely be appreciated by Liu Jin.

    "That's right, knowledge can change destiny."

    "It is definitely right to open more schools, study more, and train more talents. I didn't expect that Jiangxi would be at the forefront of the Ming Dynasty provinces."

    Liu Jin nodded solemnly, and finally understood the reason why Jiangxi had so many talented people at this time. In the final analysis, it was because of the emphasis on education.

    In terms of economy, Jiangxi has always been inferior to Zhejiang and Jiangnan, and even inferior to Huguang nearby. However, in terms of education, it can be compared with Zhejiang and Jiangnan, which shows the investment in education.

    "Gong Liu, we in Jiangxi can be where we are today thanks to Gong Liu's strong support. Gong Liu has invested in building a large number of new schools in our Jiangxi. He has given us real money and silver in our Jiangxi. This kind of kindness is something that the Jiangxi era would not dare to do."  forget."

    "This time I come here, and I hope that Mr. Liu can continue to support and help us in Jiangxi."

    "We in Jiangxi are planning to build a railway that runs from north to south, from Hongdu to Ganzhou in the south. If conditions permit, we can also continue to build it to Guangdong. In this way, we can open up the development artery of Jiangxi to the south and promote our Jiangxi's development.  develop."

    Gao Jiang glanced at Wei Ying opposite, "If you don't say it first, then I will say it first. The railway must be in your hands first. There are railways in Jiangnan, and naturally there are railways in Jiangxi."  Can't fall behind others.

    ¡°And once the plan is finalized, the main artery of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s north-south railway will pass through Jiangxi. With the railway, transportation will be greatly facilitated, and everything will be much more convenient.

    "Liu Gong, we in Huguang are also planning to build the railway. This time we have come to see Liu Gong. We hope that Liu Gong can strongly support us in Huguang."

    When Wei Ying on the opposite side heard this, he immediately became anxious and said quickly, if he didn't say anything, it would be too late.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)You must grab it first. There is a railway in Jiangnan, so naturally Jiangxi cannot lag behind others.
