Chapter 075 - Establishment of the Faculty of Higher Education

"In order to achieve the same high standard of admission as the imperial examination system, the courtiers also drew up an elite school plan." Shen Xizhen said again.

Emperor Guangzhao couldn't help but change his sitting posture, waiting for her to speak with curiosity.

"Elite universities are only built in the capital, which include medicine, agriculture, engineering, business, literature, art, music and other disciplines, and the teachers here are all taught by the highest academic knowledge in the country or the most authoritative people in the field, and the students are selected from the national candidates, and the admission standards are higher than those of the colleges, and these people will be trained as the future elites of the country once they are admitted."

Emperor Guangzhao was immediately surprised when he heard this: "How did you come up with these ideas?" ”

"I just came up with it slowly." Xizhen replied with a smile.

In fact, these inspirations came from what she had seen and heard in modern times, but she certainly couldn't say it explicitly.

"What do you think...... How to say it, it's so different, I don't believe that many people in this dynasty will think of these things, but it is undeniable that these buildings are really good! Emperor Guangzhao said.

The woman in front of her was really more and more confusing to Emperor Guangzhao.

However, he couldn't refute her thoughts, because he knew that these ideas were really useful to Xi Kingdom.

"Students from vocational colleges and elite universities, once admitted, will be paid half of the tuition fees and free accommodation by the state, and the food expenses will be fully borne by the students." Shen Xizhen continued to talk about her plans.

"Wait, if the state pays half of the tuition, it's a lot of money." Emperor Guangzhao hurriedly stopped her.

"Your Majesty, education is the foundation of a strong country. We must not be stingy with this money, not to mention that at the beginning of the implementation of the new policy, many people must be in a wait-and-see state. If you charge the full tuition fee at the beginning, I am afraid that it will discourage many people from poor families. The reason why the courtiers proposed this plan was to make education as beneficial to people from all walks of life as possible, even the poor, and only in this way could Xi Guo cultivate more talents. ”

Emperor Guangzhao did not speak.

"The benefits of this will be felt in 10 or 20 years. And once it becomes apparent, people will embrace such a policy. At that time, if you increase some tuition fees appropriately, it will not be so easy to be resisted by everyone. Shen Xizhen said again.

Emperor Guangzhao pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I will take this plan to the court tomorrow and discuss it with the ministers." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Tomorrow you will also go to court." Emperor Guangzhao said again.

He knew that this construction would definitely be opposed by many people, so he needed Shen Xizhen to explain it to everyone in person.

"Okay." Shen Xizhen agreed.

"Alright. When we're done talking, let's play a song for me, I want to hear you play the piano. Emperor Guangzhao said with a smile.

"Okay." Xi Zhen then played "Immortals"1

On the stone wall of playing the piano, an immortal was overturned.

Holding a white luan's tail. Sweep the clouds of the South Mountain at night.

The deer drank under the cold stream. Fish return to the seashore.

At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reported the peach blossom spring.

After listening to this song, Emperor Guangzhao clapped his hands and said, "Wonderful, this is one of my favorite lyrics, how about Guang'an wait to play it again?" ”

"Absolutely." Hee-jin smiled and played again.

Emperor Guangzhao drank while listening, and suddenly felt full of comfort and pride.

Looking at the woman in front of him, a smile appeared on Emperor Guangzhao's face. After the woman appeared. His self-confidence slowly returned, and his confidence became more and more sufficient. Because she proposed a series of policies for Xi to benefit the country and the people.

Now, under the influence of these policies she proposed, the country is getting richer and stronger, and his popularity among the people is also increasing, which makes him sincerely happy.

Such a woman who cannot see the limits is undoubtedly extremely attractive, and of course, for him, this attraction comes more from her talents.

…………………

The next day, when Emperor Guangzhao put forward Shen Xizhen's plan, it immediately attracted the opposition of many ministers.

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination system has lasted for hundreds of years, and its status in the minds of the people is unquestionable, and now to break it is undoubtedly to despise authority, and it will certainly make a large number of people who are interested in learning angry and abandon their studies. Prime Minister Ji Chengfan immediately made his views clear.

"As the saying goes: nothing is broken, nothing can stand, as long as the new policy can prevail over the old, what reason do we have to rest on our laurels?" Shen Xizhen immediately retorted.

"Don't forget Guang'an, people who really seek knowledge are very temperamental and assertive, most of them are from traditional education, and they may not eat you. Even if they eat you, their parents won't eat it, and most of them have to rely on their parents to sponsor them to go to school. Ji Chengfan said.

"Half of the tuition, more choices, the threshold is high and low, can take into account people from different walks of life, so that the policy of benefiting the people I can't think of any reason to refuse, even if the people can't agree for a while, I believe that the holiday time will slowly change their minds, as for those who have always disagreed, we don't have to force them to agree, they will eventually just go narrower and narrower." Shen Xizhen replied calmly.

"Looking at the world, I have never seen any country with such a policy, if it succeeds, it is fine, if it fails, won't it be ridiculed?" Ji Chengfan asked again.

"How can you do great things if you are afraid of being ridiculed? Furthermore, I want to show that the imperial examination system has cultivated a large number of officials, but the prosperity of a country does not only need officials, but people from all walks of life need it, and the establishment of a college can give talents in different fields the opportunity to learn and improve, this practice will definitely make the talents of Xi more diverse, and the diversity and polymorphism is the origin of the world, which is also in line with the Taoist 'Tao'. Hee Zhen retorted without giving in.

After a few rounds, Ji Chengfan was speechless.

Seeing that the prime minister could no longer refute Shen Xizhen, the other ministers naturally did not dare to challenge her lightly, so soon there was no voice in the court.

Seeing this, Emperor Guangzhao knew that this policy had withstood the test, so he immediately ordered the relevant departments to assist in the implementation.

………………………

"The school is being built and the school is being posted, and when the school is completed, the enrollment work can be carried out, and this must be done before the fall, which is the best time for new students to enroll." Shen Xizhen said to the leaders of relevant departments.

Since the approval of this policy, she has been appointed by Emperor Guangzhao to lead this operation, so she is responsible for the implementation of all the details.

Within 10 days, she had the relevant work arranged, and the work of building schools in various places began immediately.

………………………

Shi Wenci sat by the window and looked at the peach blossom outside the window fixedly.

It had been eight months since she had been sent to the cold palace, and in those eight months, no one had come back except for the prince who had come to see her once, and she was like a person who had been forgotten by the world.

Although the cold palace is not large, it has high walls on all sides, and although the sun shines in, it does not feel much different from hell for those who live here for a long time.

The sun outside was fierce and the light was intense, and she involuntarily moved a little bit inside, not letting the sunlight shine on her.

She hates something that is too bright.

There was a small courtyard in the cold palace, which was full of flowers at this time, but she had never been in the courtyard, at most she stood in front of the window and looked at the courtyard a few times.

She felt that the spring colors in the courtyard were a kind of irony to her, so she subconsciously avoided them.

The door creaked open, and a maid walked in with lunch.

"Master, lunch is here, please use it slowly." The palace maid said to her after putting the three simple foods on the table.

She didn't even look back, still looking out the window.

"Have you been out there lately?" Just when the palace maid wanted to say goodbye and go out, she suddenly asked, and the palace maid was startled, because Shi Wenci had not spoken for a long time.

Shi Wenci looked back at her, and found that she seemed to have a difficult face, so he knew that something must have happened outside, so he slowly walked to the dining table, looked at the palace maid closely, and waited for her answer.

"Guifei Gina has been canonized as the queen, and Concubine Dong has been demoted to a female worker in the laundry." The palace maid hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice.

With a bang, the bowl in Shi Wenci's hand fell to the ground.

"She was in the back seat so quickly?" Shi Wenci was secretly surprised in his heart.

Then, the power of the harem fell into the hands of Lazagina.

What an ironic arrangement.

Shi Wenci sighed in his heart.

"What did Concubine Dong Guifei do to be demoted?" Shi Wenci asked again.

"Framed Queen Gina for design." The palace maid replied cautiously.

The words 'Queen Gina' deeply pierced Shi Wenci's proud heart.

Thinking back then, Lazakina swore that she would never return to the palace again, but now she not only returned to the palace, but also became the queen, and also eradicated Dong Guifei, isn't the power of this harem firmly held in her hands?

The more Shi Wenci thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"Framed?" Shi Wenci asked curiously.

"Yes." The palace maid replied respectfully. While crouching down to pick up the bowl that had fallen to the ground.

"Tell me about it."

"Okay." The maid immediately put the bowl back on the table, and told her the ins and outs of the matter.

The more Shi Wenci listened, the more frightened he became—sure enough, Shen Xizhen helped again.

'This enchantress, I will never let you go when I go out. Shi Wenci said through gritted teeth in his heart.

"Okay, I see, you can step down." Shi Wenci motioned for the palace maid to leave, and the palace maid immediately walked out of the cold palace.

The weather outside was so good that it didn't make her come out willingly. The maid sighed and continued on her way.

"There are still more than three months, and the prince will come out, so wait patiently." She thought to herself. Suddenly, I felt sleepy and hurriedly went to bed to rest.
