From the first time Han Shize was surprised why she was illiterate, she paid attention to Jing Yao's education system, and naturally became confident, "Jing Yao except for the professional school, the other colleges, including those established by the royal family, do not accept money and gifts, to ensure that everyone can enroll, the fees for teachers and miscellaneous servants in the academy are given by the local government, and the morality of the teachers is assessed every year, if there is an update, the whole country is dispersed, and the officials are assessed, although the promotion has nothing to do with the establishment of the school, but the teaching is dereliction of duty, they will all be demoted, and the local officials will not dare to disobey the yang and the yin." ”

Ouyang Shaojun had a little more praise in his heart, "Niangniang said, the emperor had already thought of it the day before yesterday, and it was not this matter that we were worried about these days. ”

"What's that?"

Mo Wu asked.

Ouyang Shaojun said: "Niangniang also knows that the Fuyue War has just ended, the population has plummeted, the land is desolate, and the waste is in urgent need of rejuvenation, and the young and strong labor force in the township has been reduced by nearly thirty percent because of the war. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Everyone's opinions are also different, one side hopes to do their best to popularize the knowledge of the people of Fuyue and consolidate the knowledge of the people; One party will discuss this matter later, and then discuss it until the people are stable. ”

Ouyang Shaojun explained.

"Education is a major national matter, and since we want to popularize the knowledge of all people, it is natural that it should be sooner rather than later."

Mo Wu did not hesitate to support the former's view.

"Niangniang's words are right, but Niangniang is in the inner palace, I don't know the situation in the world, now, half of the Fuyue realm, the hungry people are widespread, the people are not happy, there is no guarantee of food, popularize knowledge, isn't it too hasty? Those dispensable things, forcibly misproducing? Doesn't it stir up resentment? ”

Duan Wang said dissatisfied.

"Dispensable?"

Mo Wu's eyes couldn't help but sharpen, "Brother Duanwang, do you know why Jing Yao is rich and healthy, but he is still fully educated?" ”

"That's because Jing Yao has this national strength, if there is no food to eat, who can learn etiquette and happiness?"

Duan Wang retorted.

"That's right, there are many plains in Jingyao, and there are many mountains in Fuyue, and the grain yield per mu of Jingyao is more than twice that of Fuyue alone, and the output of miscellaneous grains and fruits in the mountains is also more than twice that of Fuyue, does Brother Wang know why?"

He really hadn't thought about this?

"Why?"

"Every year of the harvest, Jing Yao has a special person to collect good seeds, with spring ploughing high yield, everything wants to be a farmer, must learn the method of farming, can go to the field to work, these have free teachers to teach it, so the same land in Jing Yao, can feed twice the population of Fuyue, the role of knowledge is also in this."

"That's Jingyao Guofu, maybe you can do it after Fuyue, but if you are in a hurry now, you will definitely be forced to rebel."

Duanwang also agrees a lot, but he still doesn't support it.

Mo Wu continued: "Sharpening the knife is not a mistake for chopping wood, Brother Wang knows that that Bayun crossed the first wash, the Song Dynasty, and invaded my Fuyue, and the total military strength used was only 500,000, and the three kingdoms invested more than 1.7 million troops, such a huge disparity in the number of people, even lost more than half, lost more than 1,000 land, all because Bayun has the help of artillery, if I can also have such a curious person in Fuyue, why should I suffer such a loss?" After the whole people are literate and knowledgeable, more strange people will naturally be born and strengthen our national strength in Fuyue. ”

Vantage also means this, although the two did not discuss, but they can coincide, Vantage feels even more intimate, and a smile appears on his tired face for many days.

Duanwang also agreed more, but he didn't want to change his opinion, and asked, "Then Niangniang has a way to get the people to agree to the young son's enrollment instead of farming?" ”

"As long as you are willing to spend money, you can naturally do this."

This kind of thing has a plan whether it is a textbook or a gossip magazine, so naturally it is not a problem, and elegantly took the white fungus lily soup brought by the maidservant, and took a sip slowly, Mo Wu waited for the following.

At this time, asking for money, the important ministers in the palace couldn't help but exchange glances many times, and finally Ouyang Shaojun, the head of the household, got up and asked: "There are frequent wars, and the treasury is naturally not full enough, but I don't know how much Niangniang wants?" ”

These words knocked down the people who were originally confident, the way is yes, how much money is enough, Mo Wu is not sure, "This specific number still needs to be cleaned up by the household department, and the palace has no real bottom." ”

"Why is the money the queen talking about?"

Emperor Hua naturally knows his queen better than those courtiers, and the money she said is definitely not for her own personal use.

Mo Wu asked people to bring the sweet soup to Vantage, and watched him drink two sips before saying, "The money for those children who go to school to eat." ”

"The queen said that the money for the child's meal? Does it mean that if you want people to study, the court still needs to pay for them to beg them to fail? If so, wouldn't it corrupt the ethos of teaching? ”

Ouyang Shaojun disagreed, and then a group of echoing voices followed.

"Weichen thought that the queen could come up with some good schemes, but I didn't expect that she would actually spend money to invite people to study, that strange and confident look, this policy has really been implemented, I'm afraid that the big teeth of people in the world will laugh off."

Duan Wang seized the opportunity and stood up and mocked.

"Niangniang hasn't finished speaking, why don't you listen to the fourth brother for a while?"

King Jing, who had been silent, looked at him unhurriedly.

Mo Wu smiled at King Jing in response, and then explained: "Teaching is meant to cost money, what's so strange about this, it's just to see how the money is spent." ”

"How does the queen decide to spend it?"

Emperor Hua had already put down the jade bowl in his hand, looked at her deeply and said, "Now that everything is in ruins, the money and grain of the household department must first be used to relieve the victims, and I am afraid that the balance is not very much, which is also the worry." ”

"This is just right, the imperial court can issue an edict, under the land of the Fuyue King, regardless of relatives, nobles and lows, children under the age of fourteen and over five must be enrolled."

Mo Wudao.

"These have already been said, but what if the imperial court issues an edict? What should the people do if they don't enforce it? ”

"Why is Brother Duanwang so impatient? You have been discussing this matter for several days without any results, and you have interrupted it many times after only two sentences of what this palace said, do you want to solve it or deliberately delay? ”

Mo Wu asked.

Duan Wang was speechless.

"Don't be angry, the queen might as well explain what you think in detail."

Vantage persuaded in a good voice.

Mo Wu nodded, and said without losing face: "The imperial court can also make it clear in the will that except for the elderly over sixty, young sons under the age of five and those who are pregnant with children, this year's imperial court will not provide relief-"

Before Mo Wu finished speaking, there was another uproar, and Emperor Hua drank angrily before he quieted down.

"First of all, school-age children can eat a meal in the school every hour, and when they are out of school, they can get another meal and then leave, so that children can only get food when they are enrolled in school, which can naturally be more effective than the simple relief of the imperial court, and those who are separated and displaced can be temporarily taken over by the school to arrange care and accommodation, and those who are unclaimed after a year can be announced by the government to find adoptive parents, so that street children can also be included in the school. In the case of busy farming hours, the school can be suspended for a few days to ensure production. ”

Mo Wu said slowly.

This method sounded feasible, and after several officials of the household department looked at each other in unison, they whispered about the cost and operation, because the cost of care and accommodation for the displaced children would inevitably increase, but the state treasury could also afford it, but it was very powerful for the stability of the market, and the officials must let the children learn in the assessment, and they were not afraid that the local officials would deduct food from it.

"The queen's plan is very novel, but just now the mother said that it will not be issued if she is neither old nor young nor pregnant, so what should other people do?"

King Jing agreed, but still doubted.

"The war is devastated and the people's livelihood is unstable, so to stabilize the people's hearts, it is not just about giving food to eat, but also about giving people something to do. There are four prefectures in the west, the implementation of the law of farming and cultivation, all those who cultivate the field, by the village chief to teach the method of farming, those who pass the examination, can receive free seeds from the imperial court for farming, and can take rations on credit, return after the autumn, other areas, the difference between water and soil should not be implemented too early, but the grain is borrowed, not given, after the autumn depending on the harvest or not. ”

There were precedents for such remarks in previous dynasties, but they did not distinguish between different identities.

Vantage nodded, thought of something and asked, "What if there is no land?" ”

"Repair roads, post houses, schools, what does the court need people to do, and now they have all done it, especially the difficult things that couldn't invite people before, and now they have done it, if the money is not enough, you can borrow it from the prince and noble household first, and the court promises to repay it at the lowest interest rate of the money village within three years."

"Now that money and food are in short supply, what if those big families have strange goods to live in, so they extort or don't borrow them?"

Hearing this, Duan Wang couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

"First of all, the imperial court wrote down the amount of money or goods borrowed or repaid, and stated the method of repayment, such as how much of the tax revenue of the local government was used to repay the tax every year, and second, according to the amount lent or gifted, these large households were given various preferential treatments for land, business, military service, and conscription."

"What if you still refuse to borrow it, and want to salvage more benefits from it?"

King Duan asked again.

Mo Wu sneered, glanced at Emperor Hua, and then looked at King Jing, "Then the people who bother King Jing will come to collect it in person, and they will never return it again." ”

After a moment of silence, the courtiers successively understood what Mo Wu meant, and there was an uproar again.

Mo Wu felt that in this hall, a large plaque should be hung, and the most rude words of the little white dragon should be used to mention "no noise"

and see who else is so noisy.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang's move is inappropriate, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction with the local magnates, ignore it with the court, do not implement it according to the regulations, and if it is serious, it will be arrogant, take advantage of the exhaustion of the court, draw the land as the king, this move must not be."

King Duan originally just thought about how to let the children go to school or postpone the implementation, and what the queen had to build was only for women and children, but he didn't want to be so interlocking and make a big move, even himself was inevitable.
