Xu Jingzong felt that he was going crazy.

As soon as the imperial court announced the establishment of the Ministry of Education, Xu Jingzong received a bunch of materials applying for funding from the Ministry of Education.

These guys have more powerful noses than dogs.

"Minister Xu, the Ministry of Household Affairs just allocated this year's education funds to our account in the Datang Royal Money Village just before yesterday, and today there are already more than a dozen academies to apply for funds, these people are so well-informed, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps."

After Xu Jingzong was transferred to the Ministry of Education as vice minister, Liu Jie is now the de facto head of Guanshishan Academy.

However, nominally, Li Kuan is the dean of Guanshishan Academy, and Liu Jie is only the assistant to the dean.

"The first people who established the academy were originally nobles, and they were not well-informed, so who else was well-informed? Besides, it is not a secret that the household department has allocated funds for education. What I'm worried about now is that these applications for funding are all from various academies, and I haven't seen any Mongolian schools or primary schools to apply, and this is a little different from His Royal Highness the King of Chu's assumptions. ”

The Ministry of Education has just been created, and there are currently only three departments under it: the Department of Mongolian Studies, the Department of Primary Schools, and the Department of Higher Education.

According to Li Kuan's assumption, the funding arrangements for the three divisions will be distributed in the ratio of three, three, and four.

However, the demand for Mongolian schools and primary schools is actually very large, and the Ministry of Education cannot afford to cover all the costs.

But Xu Jingzong found that the funding applications he received now were all from the Department of Higher Education, and the situation was a little different from what he imagined.

"Minister Xu, I estimate that the preparation for the construction of Mengxue and primary schools is mainly arranged by various states and counties, and their response is not so fast; However, it is likely that in the end, much more will be required than that of the Department of Higher Education. Medical schools have already set up medical centers in many state capitals, where medical students are located.

However, the number of Mongolian schools and primary schools is definitely not something that can be managed by the strength of our academy, and I think that we can take advantage of the fact that the funding applications of various states and counties have not yet come, and we must first make a charter, otherwise the funds will definitely not be enough at that time.

As for the various academies that have applied for funding now, I think that we can arrange personnel to review them first, and give financial support if they meet the requirements, which is also in line with the idea that His Royal Highness the King of Chu hopes to establish a model. ”

Liu Jie has been sitting beside Xu Jingzong for so many years, and his vision and mind are already extraordinary.

"You're right, the first batch of colleges to apply, no matter what the purpose of the establishment, we have to support it; The screening can only wait until the beginning of the next year, and the new funds will be released according to the actual situation. ”

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Xu Jingzong felt that if things were not so complicated, it would be easier to deal with.

……

"Master, I got it! Really got it! ”

In the Jin Tai Iron Workshop, Ah Niu happily rushed into Jin Tai's office.

"What got it?"

Mrs. Jin was looking at the production and sales data in the workshop for January, and she didn't react to what Ah Niu said for a while.

"Funds, the funds of the Golden Iron Academy. We applied for 10,000 yuan, but we didn't expect to be able to get so much; As a result, the people from the Ministry of Education simply looked at the college construction plan we submitted, and then came to the wasteland of our Jintai Iron Academy to walk around, and actually gave us a silver ticket of 10,000 yuan for the Datang Royal Bank, I ...... I was dumbfounded, this money came too easily! ”

Ah Niu felt like he was dreaming today.

When did the court's money turn out to be so good?

"This ...... Really? ”

Ah Niu put down the information in his hand and looked at Ah Niu suspiciously.

It's too easy to get this money, right?

Although his net worth is more than 10,000 yuan, the meaning of tens of thousands of yuan is still different from that of 10,000 silver tickets.

"Well, the silver ticket is here, as long as you go to the Tang Royal Money Bank, you can immediately exchange it for 10,000 yuan. This time, the Ministry of Education is really generous. I heard that Datang Iron and Steel College, Confucius Academy, Merriam-Webster College, Datang Police College, Datang University of Finance and Economics, etc., which we applied a day earlier than us, have all received funding. ”

"Are there any conditions for this money?"

Jin Tai took the silver ticket in Ah Niu's hand, and suddenly felt a little hot.

So many years of life experience have taught him that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The court is cheap, how can it be the turn of an ordinary merchant like himself to take advantage of it?

"Naturally, there is. At the end of this year, the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Education will jointly set up a monitoring team to confirm the implementation of the construction plans submitted by each college, and at the same time to check the use of funds. In the event of a violation, the Ministry of Education has the right to recover all allocated funds. ”

The Ministry of Education has just been established to carry out such a big move, and naturally it is impossible to do it very carefully.

However, Li Kuan has confidence in the integrity of people of this age.

Even those noble families who ask the Ministry of Education for funds to build academies will basically spend the funds on the construction of academies.

Once there is a phenomenon of misappropriation of education funds, it will inevitably lead to the Ministry of Education to strengthen the examination and approval of funds, and then other people will hate the troublemakers to death.

"Is this the only condition?"

"Yes, that's it. Of course, we have to report the progress of the college to the Ministry of Education every month, and they will come to the site as needed to confirm it. ”

Ah Niu felt that these requirements of the Ministry of Education were not too much at all.

Besides, his own academy was set up by Wang Fugui who came to persuade the master, and the real person in charge of the Ministry of Education was the people from the Chu Wangfu.

There is no way, the marks of the Chu Wangfu on Xu Jingzong's body are too obvious, don't think about washing them off in this life.

As long as Li Kuan does not fall, Xu Jingzong will not think about washing it off.

"Well, it seems that what the shopkeeper said is indeed right. Ah Niu, you immediately contact Nanshan Construction Engineering to see if they can arrange personnel to start the construction of the academy as soon as possible? In Chang'an City, only they have the most experience, and all the buildings of Guanshishan Academy were completed by them. ”

Mrs. Jin was also simply, and gave the list to Nanshan Construction Engineering as soon as she changed hands.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. There are so many academies to be built in Chang'an City at once, and I estimate that Nanshan Construction Engineering may be too busy. ”

"That's not easy to say, it's not very difficult to build a house itself, many nobles have long been interested in the booming business of Nanshan Construction Engineering, and maybe they will take this opportunity to set up people to build themselves."

Mrs. Jin's understanding of this society is obviously much higher than that of Ah Niu.

In Chang'an City, how can it be so harmonious?
