After breakfast, Pan Zhongqiu came over quickly and pulled Zhao Hao to meet Liu Zixing and other local gentry, and wandered around Chaozhou City and chose a location.

Fortunately, it was cloudy and there was a rare wind, so it would not have sun-dried Mr. Zhao.

According to the interests of trendy people, an elegant institution like academies must of course be built in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. This is not only conducive to learning, but also good Feng Shui, so that academics can be prosperous.

However, due to the public security issues in Chaozhou, I dare not stay away from the city. I have to choose nearby to ensure the safety of teachers and students.

Therefore, Liu Zixing recommended three excellent Feng Shui and quiet and beautiful locations to Zhao Hao.

One is Jinshan, located in the north corner of the city of Fucheng. Although the mountain is not high, the scenery is very beautiful, and many literati and poets have traces left by their marks. Moreover, the mountain is like the back of the city of Fucheng, looking east to Hanshan, Hulushan in the west to Fenghuangshan, and the city streets in the south, and the feng shui is also the best.

The other is West Lake, located outside the northwest wall of the city of Fucheng. It was originally a tributary of the Han River, which stretched for more than ten miles. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the North Dike was built that it was cut off from the Han River and became a rectangular large lake. The Chaozhou City was built in this dynasty and turned it into a moat.

There is also Hulu Mountain by the side of West Lake. The mountains are green and green, and the scenery is natural and excellent. The "West Lake Fishing Raft", one of the eight scenic spots in Chaozhou, refers to this place.

Oh by the way, Kingsoft is also the eight scenic spots in Chaozhou, and it is called "Kingshan Ancient Pine".

Mr. Zhao saw the scenery of the lake and mountains, and then came to the third alternative. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Chaozhou, located in the southeast of the Fucheng City, on the Han River. It is known as the "Fengtai Shiyu".

With the company of everyone, he climbed the Phoenix Platform more than ten feet high and looked into the distance in the Wangjiang Pavilion. He saw the blue sky with white clouds and the peaks were endless from afar; he looked at the three mountains around the ancient city; he saw the river water passing through the bridge and divided into two streams, which was the scene of "Three mountains are half falling outside the blue sky, and Bailuzhou is divided into two waters".

At this time, the breeze was blowing, the river breeze was blowing, and the heat was gone. Mr. Zhao was in a good mood and praised it as a good place.

"The original name of Shazhou is Laoyazhou. The former Duke of the former Duke of the Mansion has visited the continent many times. He loved the beautiful scenery and said that this place should be a place where phoenixes live, not where phoenixes fall into the forest. So he changed its name to 'Phoenix Island' and built this Phoenix Tower." Liu Zixing, who was the tour guide, said proudly: "Of course, this Phoenix Tower is mainly used to observe the enemy's situation."

"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and smiled, "Even if there is no enemy situation, climbing high and looking far can also inspire ambitions."

Seeing that Mr. Zhao liked this place, Liu Zixing suggested that the luncheon be placed on the Phoenix Platform. Zhao Hao agreed happily, so the servants who accompanied him carried the food box and carried the tables and chairs to the stage one by one. They arranged the tables, chairs and wine utensils in the Wangjiang Pavilion, and then arranged the exquisite dishes in the food box.

Chaozhou is poor, but the big dogs are not poor at all. They have special cooking boats, top chefs, perfect cooking utensils, and the freshest and most expensive ingredients. They can ensure that the gentry can still have a big banquet anytime and anywhere when traveling.

If you simply enjoy it, these Chaoshan guys are no worse than the big dogs in Jiangnan.

But it would be a bad idea to compare power.

If there is no Jinshi in the whole mansion for several years, it is simply a scumbag. Is this the only thing that can be bullied to death in the court!

So after drinking for three rounds, Liu Zixing couldn't wait to ask: "If you don't know these three addresses, can you see the young master's eyes?"

"Well, it's not bad, both are not bad." Zhao Hao nodded with a smile and praised: "Chunlan and Qiuju, everyone is good at playing."

"Which one should I choose? Does the young master have a constitution?" asked a group of gentry. They asked from many sources. They had already learned that the real owner of Jiangnan Group was Sima Yanei, who was not as good as the twentieth.

"Oh, the biggest headache for me is to do multiple-choice questions." Zhao Hao took a sip of the glutinous rice wine in the glass and smiled: "So I want it all, do you want it?"

"Roar, roar." Liu Zixing said in shock: "It's just that the young master wants so many places. Are there any other arrangements besides running the school?"

"How could this young master do such things as selling dog meat with sheep's head?" Zhao Hao shook his head, put down the wine cup and said seriously: "Of course these three places are used to run schools."

"Can academy use it?" a gentry blurted out: "Phoenix City alone is as big as a mansion."

"Who said that only one academy was opened?" Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled: "In order to quickly reverse the current situation of the local cultural and educational undertakings, our Jiangnan Education Group has tailored a package of educational revitalization plans for Chaozhou Prefecture."

"A package of...educational revitalization plans?" Liu Zixing and others asked with interest: "What does that mean?"

"The purpose is to comprehensively improve the cultural level of local scholars and the basic quality of labor. The plan is divided into five parts..." Zhao Hao said, raising his right hand, then clenched his fists and said: "Five fingers clenched into fists, and hitting people together will have strength!"

"I would like to hear the details." Everyone hurriedly listened attentively.

"The first one is the Chaozhou Campus of Yufeng Academy, which everyone is most concerned about. Since Mr. Hou said that this is a place where phoenixes live, I think this academy is located on this Phoenix Island. The name is Phoenix Legend... Oh no, how about Phoenix Academy?" Zhao Hao began to tell as many things.

"Good name, good luck!" The gentry said excitedly: "The golden phoenix flew out of Chaozhou, and it was called Phoenix Academy!"

"And when the student goes to Phoenix Island, he is separated from the glitz of the city, so he can study more with peace of mind." An old juren echoed. Hearing this, there must be a liar at home who refuses to concentrate on studying.

"Of course, in order to ensure the quality of teaching, the threshold of Phoenix Academy is quite high. But don't worry, our academy also has affiliated middle schools and affiliated primary schools, which is a one-stop education model." Zhao Hao also introduced:

"In other words, your children can receive the most scientific education and influence from the beginning. As long as they graduate smoothly, most of them can go to Phoenix Academy to study." Zhao Haodun said: "Considering that the children are still young, they adopt the day system to learn. I think these two schools are built in Kingsoft."

"Roar, roar, roar." The gentry of Chaozhou was very grateful and enthusiastically expressed their willingness to donate funds to support their children's degrees.

~~

"Where is West Lake? What school does the young master want to build?" Liu Zixing asked curiously.

"Our Jiangnan Education has always adhered to the concept of elite education, basic education and vocational education, and three arrows coexisting." He heard Mr. Zhao talk loudly: "One flower blooms alone, not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring. Only when the people of Chaozhou are able to understand the text, be well-educated, and master higher labor skills can Chaozhou really change."

"That's how..." The gentry showed much enthusiasm, and they obviously had no interest in the blooming of flowers.

"These free schools for ordinary people are not for the purpose of cultivating scholars." Zhao Hao suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly and firmly:

"Don't be short-sighted. Our practice in Jiangnan has proved that establishing basic education literacy education is the fastest way to change the face of poverty and chaos in a place."

"You are actually not poorer than the rich people in Jiangnan, but why do you still envy Jiangnan? Because there are clothing, cultural relics and cultural relics there, and their literary talent are in the country. I see more because the food, clothing, housing and transportation there are all elegant. Rouge, painting, art, and art, and all kinds of things, right?"

"Haha..." Everyone was embarrassed to laugh, obviously being said to be at the heart. Place names such as West Lake and Phoenix Platform are enough to show their admiration for Jiangnan...

"The beauty of Jiangnan cannot be created or maintained by literati alone. It also depends on skilled craftsmen with cultural cultivation. They need a large and civilian class with certain cultural level, entertainment needs, and some spare money. Don't you want Chaozhou to be as prosperous as Jiangnan in ten years?" Zhao Hao said in his tone with temptation:

"Who benefits the most in this process? Of course, it's all for you. With your vision, you must understand the principle of rising waters."

"Yeah." The big dogs finally got a little moved, thinking that they couldn't help but treat Mr. Zhao as a good deed.

"So the purpose of the young master running a free school is to cultivate future skilled craftsmen and citizens?" Liu Zixing asked with a close eye.

"Yes, our Jiangnan Group will soon open many factories in Chaozhou. These factories adopt more advanced production technology and more scientific management methods, and their production efficiency is many times that of traditional workshops. However, workers with a certain cultural foundation need to spend a lot of effort to train technical workers, so this is for both Chaozhou and ourselves." Zhao Hao said lightly:

"So, at the foot of Hulu Mountain by the West Lake, a Chaozhou Vocational and Technical School will be established to train our own skilled craftsmen."

"That's how it is." The gentry lit up. The Chaoshan guys' sense of money was born with innate. They heard a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity from Mr. Zhao's words.

I told the story of Chaozhou going to Southeast Asia in the previous episode, which can be said to be "everyone in Chaozhou is connected to foreign countries." How could these gentry and wealthy families not know that overseas trade can bring wealth?

In fact, a considerable part of their family’s wealth comes from the “remittance” of their tribe’s family doing business overseas!

So they dreamed of participating in overseas trade. But the three links of overseas trade, production, transportation and sales. The first two are also the most profitable production and transportation links. One is monopolized by industry and commerce in Jiangnan, and the other is monopolized by the sea owners and Flang Jimen. They can't get involved.

The tribesmen had no choice but to leave their countryside and go to Southeast Asia to get a piece of the pie in overseas sales. They might encounter pirates on their way back and looted all their hard-earned money.

Judging from what Mr. Zhao said, is it necessary to turn Chaozhou into a production base for exported goods?
