Chapter 880 Admissions
But Ding Gong knew that they wanted to endorse them, and as long as he was willing to endorse these new officials, they would dare to take office.
In addition to these dozen letters, many people helped these newly appointed officials to be lobbyists. However, Ding Gong threw all the stacks of letters on the table and said to Ping Tongfeng, who came to serve as lobbyists: "There are no so many requests in other states and prefectures? At most, they only received three or five letters. In our Yanzhou Prefecture, there are more than ten letters alone, and many people sent lobbyists around the bush. Now, you, your second brother, are their lobbyists!"
Ping Tongfeng immediately laughed: "I am a human relationship and I have no choice but to deal with it. You have the final say in this matter, brother!"
For Ding Gong, giving these people is equivalent to digging their own walls and having to endorse them. He is his own brother to Ping Tongfeng, so he said simply: "If I make up my mind, it is to drive them all to Jinzhou. Since they dare not go to Jinzhou, they will not come to Yanzhou to take office."
In fact, Yanzhou Prefecture and the three eastern prefectures are completely different. In Haibei Town, Yanzhou Prefecture, they are just equally divided with the imperial court. It is precisely because the two sides are equal in power that Ding Gong received the most letters and requests from all aspects. Everyone thinks that the gap can be opened on Ding Gong.
But since everyone has the most fantasies about Ding Gong, then Ding Gong feels that no matter how much pressure is, it will never let everyone get what they want, otherwise they will be ruined. Everyone knows that Haibei Town is not only weak in Yanzhou, but also in the opposite direction.
Therefore, it was obvious that people were sent to plead with mercy in all aspects, but Ding Gong directly explained to Ping Tongfeng: "Anyway, they don't want me to let go. If I let go, the good situation in Yanzhou will be ruined now!"
Among all the officials of the Haibei Army, Ding Gong can be said to be the least powerful one. Whether it is Shen Bin, Yao Changgong, Yang Guangwen or others, they are all in their own jurisdiction. Only Ding Gong must be a relatively weak one, and they must discuss everything with the He Tu and the Taoist ministers.
Therefore, after the eunuch party made this trick and Haibei Town launched a full-scale counterattack, Ding Gong could be said to be the one who cheered the most. Although he knew that there would be many obstacles in this matter, Ding Gong made up his mind that no matter how much resistance there was, all the court officials sent by the Ming Dynasty would be trained for a period of time before taking office.
Only after such training can these imperial officials understand who understands that Yanzhou Prefecture is Ding Gong, and how to respect Commissioner Ding Gong. Otherwise, according to past practice, these prefectures and county officials often do not take Ding Gong seriously.
Ping Tongfeng could understand Ding Gong's mood and decision, and he immediately said, "Brother, I'm just helping someone with a message. What should you do if you say it! It's better to have the final say about this matter, but there is one more thing you must help me!"
"What's up!"
Ding Gong was in a very good mood now, so he immediately asked, "We are our own brothers. As long as I can help, I will definitely help the whole thing!"
Ping Tongfeng immediately said: "It's still about Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School. Now someone asks you to find out if there are still quotas. They are all old relationships for many years, and they really can't be pushed away!"
As soon as he heard this, Ding Gong was happy: "What did they do? I planned to recruit two classes at the beginning, but almost couldn't recruit one class. As a result, Wei Yi was so troubled that recruiting three classes is not enough now!"
When it comes to this, Ding Gong was also very angry. At first, he was mentally prepared when he opened Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School. He felt that the local gentry in Yanzhou must have had some resistance to this matter. So although he reached a consensus with Wang Zhenhui, he decided to make a small fuss and recruit students from two classes first.
But he really didn't expect that with his dignified Ding Gong Specialist, he almost couldn't even recruit students from one class. In the beginning, one-quarter of the students in this class were the believers of the incense-smelling sect or the peripheral personnel sent by Wang Zhenhui, and nearly half were the gentry from the three prefectures and counties in the East.
These gentry children can only be regarded as second-class or even third-class families in the East Three Prefectures, so they are not qualified to squeeze into study institutes or study classes, so they can only wait for the second time. So when they heard that Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School was opened, they rushed over to sign up as soon as they heard that Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School was opened.
In fact, if Ding Gong had not limited the number of students in the East Three Prefectures, they could even fill up the quota of the two classes at the first time. However, Ding Gong's protective policy for Yanzhou students was so charming that it was blind. Everyone was still not optimistic about the future of Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School. There were very few people who registered. Moreover, even if the gentry in Yanzhou Prefecture asked his children to register, they would just let the concubines come and register to make up the number.
As for the specific reason why Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School was resisted by the gentry of Yanzhou, Ding Gong also sent Ping Tongfeng to take a closer look. These Yanzhou Jining School said in unison that they were all scholarly families who were truly passed down from poetry and books, but now Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School teaches the science of engineering and mining, not the books of sages they want to read. They were afraid that they would delay their children's future, so they dared not send their children to school.
However, the situation changed a little faster than Ding Gong expected. The first phase of the Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School had just begun military training and had not yet formally studied. Wei Zhongxian and the eunuch party had already begun to undergo a major change in the officialdom of Yanzhou Prefecture. As a result, even with the Ministry of Personnel's investigation, they could not take office in the prefectures and counties below. Now these gentry in Yanzhou Prefecture have finally woken up as if they were dreaming.
What can I do if I read the books of sages? In the end, it’s not that I can’t get fame and fortune. Even if I get fame and fortune, I go through the path of success and get the Ministry of Personnel to investigate and confer, it will still be useless in Shandong and Yanzhou Prefecture.
However, as long as Liu Peng nodded, he could directly sign the history of the vocational rituals, the chief clerk and even the magistrate. Moreover, those officials who have been appointed by the Ministry of Personnel are still just Jinzhou to study in the study class again. Everyone has already understood that the sky in Yanzhou has changed.
However, although the study institute has a bright future, it is difficult for even the children of the aristocratic families of the East Three Prefectures to squeeze in. Moreover, Yanzhou Prefecture is a new place for Haibei Town. No one knows how to send their children to the study institute for such a bright future.
However, although everyone has no way to study institutes, there is not an extremely special existence like Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School at their doorstep. Everyone quickly figured out that Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School is actually a study institute and workshop in Yanzhou Prefecture. Now many gentry children from the East Three Prefectures cannot squeeze into the research institutes and can only go to Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School to enroll.
Only then did everyone wake up as if they were dreaming. As a result, Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School had already finished its registration and officially started military training, but Ding Gong finally received a steady stream of registration requests. He could only barely recruit one class, but now there are three major classes that can't contain so many students.
The so-called warmth and coldness of human relationships can be said to be the only one by one. Ding Gong can take back all the requests from these newly appointed officials of the imperial court. The local gentry had such reasonable requests but could not completely take back. Ping Tongfeng also said from the side: "This time I am looking for me, as long as I am not a real old friend or a real close friend, I have already helped you take back. Now these people really can't refuse. Brother, give me a few more places!"
Ding Gong could only tell Ping Tongfeng the truth: "Second brother, I used to only plan to run two classes. Now, it is beyond the limit of ability to run three classes. You can't add more people. If you add more people, you will definitely cause trouble. But second brother, please rest assured that if you don't have them in this period, I will give them priority in the next period!"
Ping Tongfeng didn't expect that Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School was so popular now, so he could only think about his friends: "It's okay to run four classes. I heard that Fairy Wang made great efforts in this matter. She has made three thousand Western books, and it is absolutely no problem to run four classes with three thousand Western books!"
But Ding Gong smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because of these three thousand Western books that we cannot run more classes. As the saying goes, putting what we have learned into practice, now the engineering and mining schools are mostly focused on three thousand Western books, and running three large classes is already beyond the limit!"
The three thousand Western books found by Wang Zhenhui are all real original Western science and technology classics, written in Italian, French, and Latin, and can also be said to be a complete collection of three thousand technical works. It can be said that it has made the technical level of the Haibei Army and Yanzhou Prefecture a qualitative leap.
However, with the Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School's foundation, the translation and sorting of thirty Western original works has exceeded their abilities, and now they have a total of 3,000 original technical books in their hands, which is far beyond their ability limits.
Even though the study institute and other aspects are willing to provide help in all aspects, Yanzhou Industrial and Mining School is still exhausted even if it focuses on translation and scientific research, and can only minimize the time spent on teaching. As a result, it is already the limit to opening three large classes.
Speaking of this, Ding Gong continued to complain: "And I can think of a way for the first class students. If there are three classes in the second class, I feel that I can't figure out a way..."
Ping Tongfeng has a way: "Then we have to poach people. Last year, Zeng Jianhui and the others were not the ones who dug us, but now we also poach their people..."
Ding Gong could only smile bitterly and said, "This is the only way!"
Speaking of this, Ding Gong smiled bitterly: "Anyway, the good situation in our Yanzhou Prefecture must not be ruined."
Wei Zhongxian had never expected that this time the major blood exchange between the East Three Prefectures and the Yanzhou Prefecture officialdom was counterproductive. Not only did the East Three Prefectures not replace the eunuch party's own people, but even the Yanzhou Prefecture was completely abandoned. Therefore, he said to Wang Tiqian angrily: "This is really lawless. Who dared to do this in the past three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty? Even Emperor Taizong and King Ning never dared to make such a fool of themselves!"
