Chapter 135: Flicker

"I am very relieved to see your patriotism. You must know me. I have always valued business and encouraged business and trade. Most of the people are uneducated. The prosperity of this world depends on us. A small number of elites."

Wu Changqing began to fool around. In front of the people, he said that the most important thing in the world is the people. In front of businessmen, he also advocated the strategy of elite leadership.

His remarks made many businessmen very satisfied, because they are the elite class. As long as Wu Changqing is in this way, they can benefit.

Wu Changqing continued to say: "How can we make the world prosper, so that our elites can make a lot of money and feed the people at the same time, so that they don't rebel?"

"This is actually very simple, technology."

Wu Changqing uttered a vocabulary that everyone didn't understand, and they didn't quite understand Wu Changqing's words.

For thousands of years, there has been so much wealth in the world, with more merchants and fewer people. How can it be possible for the people to live a good life while the businessmen make a lot of money? They can't figure it out and can't understand it.

"What is technology? Flintlock is technology, and the manufacture of soap and soap is technology. I can't tell everyone that I am now promoting new varieties of rice in Suzhou. It is estimated that the yield per mu can reach 1,200 jin. This is also technology.

The same land can feed more people, and the vacated manpower can be used to manufacture other commodities to sell overseas and earn overseas wealth. In this way, the people can no longer have to starve and rebel, and we can also make a lot of money from this. "

Wu Changqing said so many, of course, not to show off his knowledge and knowledge in front of them.

He mainly hopes that this guy can send his younger generation to learn new knowledge and cultivate more new-style talents.

The people are busy farming and making ends meet. Even if they study for free, they may not be willing to come, because the loss of one labor force will have a great impact on them.

Wu Changqing also wants the people to live better, but at this stage, if you want to develop national power, you really have to rely on this group of businessmen who are not good birds.

These businessmen are rich, and the children at home can study with peace of mind.

Moreover, once there are some intelligent people among them who want to carry out some kind of experiments and inventions, the family will also have the financial resources to support them.

Instead, it is the common people, even if they have a brilliant idea in their minds, but they don't have the money to buy equipment and materials to experiment, that idea is just an idea after all, and it will be abandoned over time.

"One thousand two hundred catties per mu?"

Sun Daoming asked in a gloomy manner. As a grain merchant, he knew very well about the yield of grain per mu. Paddy fields with a yield of 600 jin per mu can be classified as fertile fields.

Now, Wu Changqing said that there are varieties with a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu. How can he not be surprised.

"Yes, people who don’t believe can wait until the summer harvest time to go to the experimental field in Suzhou to see if I lied to you. However, if you believe in me now, then send the younger generation to the university hall as soon as possible. Come learn those new types of knowledge, instead of just studying the four books and five classics.

I will set up a larger university hall in Nanjing, dedicated to cultivating new-style talents. It will teach all kinds of new knowledge, physical chemistry, geography and arithmetic. It doesn't matter if you don't study the Four Books and Five Classics, don't worry about not being an official. You should have also heard that for the students with good grades in the university hall, I am directly awarded officials. "

Wu Changqing attaches great importance to cultivating new-style talents and promoting education.

"When the grandfather of the country's college is opened, I will send the few incompetent guys in the family to the college."

Tong Youwei took the lead in responding. Regardless of whether Wu Changqing said it was true or false, it is impossible not to support it in order to express his position and attitude at this time.

What's more, Wu Changqing's words still sound very credible.

Whether it's flintlocks or perfume soaps, these new things, they didn't even dare to think about them before, but now they are not all coming out.

The yield of over a thousand catties per mu sounds exaggerated, but compared with the flintlock gun that can kill a hundred steps away, it seems to be much more normal.

Therefore, Tong Youwei believes in the existence of science and technology mentioned by Wu Changqing.

Moreover, he also heard about Wu Changqing's appointment of officials to university students in Suzhou.

Since this knowledge is really useful, why not learn it?

Compared with traditional scholars, businessmen are more likely to accept new knowledge. Because they are all profit-seeking, as long as there are benefits and money, they are willing to do anything.

Traditional scholars may still guard the Four Books and Five Classics for thousands of years and are proud of them.

"I am also willing to send the younger generation from my family to the university hall. It is an honor for them to listen to Wu Guogong's teachings."

Others also followed suit. They even knew that Wu Changqing would sometimes teach in person.

Let the younger generation in the family establish a teacher-student relationship with Wu Changqing, it is simply too profitable.

If a student is treated unfairly, the teacher must ignore it.

If it hadn’t been for the donation once before, they would all be willing to donate to support Wu Changqing based on the benefits that Wu Changqing gave now.

"With your support, Mr. Wu thanked you. I can assure you that as long as I am still in power, I will definitely put the interests of the merchants first."

Wu Changqing drew them another big pie. He wanted to become a king on his own in the future. The support of the army was actually enough. However, it is better to have the support of the merchant class and civil servants, which can reduce a lot of turmoil.

"I will definitely support the general."

Everyone showed their loyalty, and they were also very happy, because Wu Changqing said that he would put the interests of businessmen first.

And this, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty never said that.

For businessmen who do not have a national concept and whose interests are paramount, they will support Wu Changqing without hesitation, so that their own interests can be maximized.

Many merchants are still discussing Wu Changqing when they leave the Governor's Mansion.

"Wu Guogong is really young and promising, heroic, at first glance he is a man who will do great things."

"Wu Guogong said that he would put the interests of our merchants first. This is really rare. Our good day is coming."

"I believe Wu Guogong's words can be seen from the fact that he disregarded the court's decree and directly opened the sea ban. I heard that the first batch of merchants who went to do business with the Dutch made a fortune, and we should also be prepared to go to Songjiang. ."

The businessmen’s news has always been well-informed, and they have all known the situation in Songjiang.

Everyone was discussing business matters, but they didn't mention the university.

Because they knew very well in their hearts that Wu Changqing attached great importance to the university. The reason for giving them so many benefits is purely to make them support the university.

From Wu Changqing's degree of importance, they also realized that the university is very important, and the smartest group of people in the family must be sent there.

One is to show loyalty, and the other is to want to learn real skills.

If, as Wu Changqing said, one can invent and create some magical things similar to perfume soaps after learning the knowledge, wouldn't it be a fortune?

Everyone knows the importance of the university, but they keep silent, as if they are afraid that others will wake up.

However, how many fools can there be people who can mix in this circle.

Seeing everyone kept silent about the university, Tong Youwei couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
