After the day of rest, Yu Ruyan went to court early in the morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early in the morning, Zhao Wenzheng proposed that Yu Ruyan had said that he would set up free schools across the country, and hoped that this matter would be implemented soon. Yu Ruyan took the initiative to ask Ying, hoping to go to various places to investigate.

"This matter can be left to the state governments, and the scholars don't have to go in person." Zhao Wenzheng said.

Yu Ruyan has a different opinion: "Weichen thinks that there is a difference between diligence and laziness in various state capitals, and if you don't do it yourself, I'm afraid that the information you get will not be accurate." ”

Zhao Wenzheng said: "The university scholar is reasonable, you must have a set of plans when you propose to go out for investigation." ”

Yu Ruyan said with a smile: "Actually, the minister has already thought about it, and there are countless thirteen state capitals in Chen State according to counties and towns. Therefore, this time, with the strength of Weichen alone, he can only do a field trip in several nearby state capitals. As for how to set up a free school, the minister thought that the state capitals, counties and towns could choose some talented people with good learning and moral character, and as the master of the school, they would be deducted from the taxes of various places, and the whole country would be unified, and the disputes caused by the lack of uniformity in various places would also be avoided. ”

Some ministers questioned: "In this way, isn't private learning robbed by us?" ”

Yu Ruyan explained: "The purpose of setting up a free school is to allow more children from poor families to be able to read and understand, not to say that everyone should follow a career path. The state capitals are divided according to the region, and a county or town opens one or two free schools, although it is certainly far from enough, but at present, the imperial court can only do so by testing the waters, and if the effect is good, it can be promoted and promoted, which is not in conflict with private learning. ”

"I'm ready, the university scholar will set off on a day to go to the field for investigation." Zhao Wenzheng said, "It can be done according to the travel of the ministers, and the officials of the state governments are ordered to be dispatched." ”

"Your Majesty, is this time too public?" One minister questioned.

Zhao Wenzheng said: "What I want is publicity. Now that the rebellion has been put to an end, I have not been on the throne for a long time, and the people's hearts are not stable. If this move to benefit the people is not publicized, how can it win back the hearts of the people? ”

"The emperor is reasonable, this move to benefit the people must be known to the people, and even to all countries."

"The emperor's prudent administration is really a blessing for Chen Guo."

After the next dynasty, in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Yu Ruyan discussed the trip with Xiao Feiqing.

Xiao Feiqing supervises the household department, which is the core of the country's finances, and it is impossible to set up a private school without the support of the ministry.

"Scholars, why don't you let the imperial court fund and run schools directly in various places, but draw taxes locally?" Xiao Feiqing asked.

Yu Ruyan said: "Actually, I also thought about this matter at the beginning, it is more convenient for the imperial court to allocate funds directly. But if there is corruption among local officials, what if they fill their pockets with the imperial court's appropriations? Instead of this, we should save the hassles, directly let the local government pay the money, and set up a unified scale of schools across the country. For example, we limit them to building schools, each school occupies an area, and the teachers are uniform, and it is limited to three months, and then we send people to various places to supervise and supervise the negligence, and which state government is not able to do things will be punished, and on the contrary, we can reward. Moreover, it is directly funded by local taxes, so that the people can feel that the taxes they pay are really used on themselves. ”

Yang Chuting nodded and said, "The minister also thinks that the practice of scholars is worth promoting. Many policies benefiting the people have been promulgated, but local officials have implemented them differently. If the imperial court only knows about the promulgation of policies and does not take officials to inspect them, it is equivalent to having no responsibility for supervision. Then the promulgation and implementation of the policy are not linked. ”

Yu Ruyan said: "Yes, and the officials must make secret visits in the later inspection, if it is a big fanfare, I am afraid that some local officials will bribe the inspection officials and deceive the superiors and subordinates." ”

"The university scholar has a point." Zhao Wenzheng exclaimed, "In fact, I have been having a headache about how to govern local officials. The aftermath caused by the poisoning incident a few days ago has not passed, and I don't have time to think about it. Xiao Aiqing, you supervise the household department, which is the lifeblood of the country's finances, what do you think? ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "In the minister's humble opinion, the minister thinks that our Chen Guo should have a set of methods to retain talents. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhao Wenzheng asked.

Yang Chuting continued: "The minister thinks, what Lord Xiao means is that in today's troubled times, there are constant disputes among countries. If we can retain qualified personnel, we will also be able to lay the foundation for the great cause of reunification in the future. ”

Zhao Wenzheng sighed: "Why don't I think so? Xiao Aiqing, how to attract talented people, what are your opinions? ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "In my opinion, the officials of various countries today are treated similarly, if we can be more generous than other countries in terms of talents, will talents flow into Chen Guo?" If we are treated more favorably, then not only the officials of Chen Guo can share the emperor's grace and do their best, but also the talents of other countries will also flock to our Chen Guo. ”

Zhao Wenzheng nodded and said, "Xiao Aiqing said to be specific. ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "The minister has already prepared a recital. Generally speaking, in addition to the money of officials at all levels, special silver awards are given, and the silver awards are more or less linked to the political achievements of the year. The political achievements can be comprehensively examined from the aspects of taxation, people's livelihood, integrity, and the implementation of the policies implemented by the imperial court. Those who pass not only have a silver award, but also the possibility of entering the palace to report on their work, promotion and transfer, and those who are outstanding can be commended and notified to the whole country. On the contrary, those who do not meet the requirements will be fined, demoted, dismissed, or even convicted. ”

Zhao Wenzheng nodded and said: "This not only avoids the difference between diligence and laziness caused by the same income, but also improves their work efficiency, and increases their sense of distress, so that they dare not slack off." ”

"Lord Xiao's move is very good." Yu Ruyan said, "You can also issue orders to seek talents in various places and recruit talents." If it is really a talent, the emperor can directly appoint an official position, and also tell the wise men of the country that our emperor Chen has the world in mind. ”

A smile that had not been seen for a long time finally appeared on Zhao Wenzheng's face: "With your assistance, I am really like a tiger." God bless my Chen country, with loyal ministers and good generals like Aiqing, my Chen country will be peaceful in troubled times! ”

"The emperor has such a grand ambition, which is really a blessing for Chen Guo." Yang Chuting said, "The countries have been divided for a hundred years, and they have been fighting each other constantly, if there is a Ming monarch and holy lord to unify China at this time, it will be a blessing for the people of the world." ”

Yu Ruyan received the holy decree and went out of Beijing, and inspected the five state capitals around Beijing as a minister.

The situation is generally the same in the state capitals, and there are many poor and talented people, because they have accumulated years and their lives are miserable. Hearing that the imperial court wanted to set up a free school and hire a teacher, they couldn't wait to go outside the government to inquire about the situation.

After nearly half a month of field investigations, Yu Ruyan wrote a good chapter and reported it to the imperial court, and each state capital first set up ten free schools, the same scale, and each school hired five talented people with both character and learning to teach.

After Zhao Wenzheng saw the chapter, after discussion in the imperial court, he agreed to Yu Ruyan's approach.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of inspecting the master of the academy fell on the Hanlin Academy. The people in the Hanlin Academy are all representatives of Chen Guo's scholars, and this time, all of them went to various state capitals as Qin Messengers to inspect the knowledge and character of the master of the academy.

Those who want to teach in the academy also register at all levels of government, and the state governments organize the examinations in a unified manner, and the Hanlin Academy invigilates the examinations and checks the outstanding talents in person to see if they are retained.

Zhao Wenzheng officially issued an order to build schools in all state capitals within three months, which were collectively called "persuasion schools". And all the masters of the academy who passed the examination were summoned to Beijing, and Yu Ruyan was in charge, and all the Hanlin Academy cooperated to conduct a "intensive training". The knowledge that these people need to explain to children is systematically dialed, and the books for schoolchildren's enlightenment are uniformly prescribed.

These books were uniformly printed and distributed by the imperial court, and each state capital was also ordered to set aside a part of the tax revenue as a special fund, equipped with a large number of pens, ink, paper, inkstones, tables, chairs and benches, etc., as the daily supply of the school.

Nearly two months have passed.

Yu Ruyan was "stationed" in the Hanlin Academy every day, rarely returning to the Bachelor's Mansion, and almost forgot about the "annoying" neighbor. Until one day, Yu Ruyan received a note in Hanlin Courtyard, which read: See you at Qingshui Teahouse. The payment was a "Tang" word, and Yu Ruyan remembered that she hadn't seen Tang Yunluo for a while. This time he made an appointment, is there something to discuss?

In the afternoon, Tang Yunluo was waiting in the teahouse box early, and Yu Ruyan came as promised.

"It's been two months, and the university scholars are getting more and more smart." As soon as he saw Yu Ruyan, Tang Yunluo quipped.

After two months of tiredness, Yu Ruyan only felt mentally sleepy, where is there still a "water spirit"?

"Alright, I know you're talking the opposite." Yu Ruyan said, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

Tang Yunluo said with a smile: "The university scholar is both talented and good-looking, why bother to be self-indulgent? What's more, I also heard that the imperial court set up a free school, and the people really applauded again and again, and rushed to tell each other. ”

"What the hell are you looking for me?" Yu Ruyan didn't want to entangle with him, so she asked directly.

Tang Yunluo took a sip of tea, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I haven't seen you for so long, you should also greet me as a courtesy." Good neighbors have to communicate their feelings with each other, does it have to be something? ”

After being in contact for a while, Yu Ruyan also knows some of Tang Yunluo's character, and knows that the more he asks in this situation, the more he will answer the question.

"Since it's okay, I'll go first." Yu Ruyan got up and said, "There are still a bunch of things in the Hanlin Courtyard that haven't been dealt with." ”

As soon as he turned around, he heard Tang Yunluo shouting: "Wait a minute, I'm really in trouble, don't you want to hear it?" ”

"It doesn't matter, whether you listen to it or not, it won't affect me." Yu Ruyan is "excited" again.

Seeing that she was really leaving, Tang Yun was in a hurry, stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to investigate the affairs of the Yinshan Sect these days!" ”

Yu Ruyan smiled proudly, instantly turned her face again, turned around, and asked lightly, "Is there anything else in the Yinshan Sect to investigate?" ”

"Isn't that Yu Wei going to be beheaded in a few days?" Tang Yunluo said, "Since they are in a group, won't the Yinshan faction take action?" For example, robbing a dharma field or something. ”

Yu Ruyan stepped forward and asked, "The Yinshan faction wants to rob the law field to save people?" Are you sure? ”

Tang Yunluo said: "Because of the poisoning last time, I also sent someone to monitor the movements of the Yinshan faction, who knew that there was an unexpected gain." My subordinates found that the Yinshan faction had gone to the Western Regions to buy a lot of smoke in the past month, and secretly built weapons and moved to the Jingshi. ”
