"Since it has been decided to sell the short crossbow to the nations, then it is necessary to set a suitable price, how much do you think the price should be set?" Ying Chang looked at the three people in front of him with sharp eyes and asked.

The three of them fell silent, causing the imperial study to fall into a quiet stage, and Yingchang did not break the silence, and was also thinking carefully about what price to set.

After a short period of time, Yang Ze raised his hand and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the price depends on the cost, and the minister thinks that you can ask Fang Zi how much it costs to make a weakened version of the short crossbow, and then increase the cost!" ”

"It makes sense, the matter of pricing will be handled by the Ministry of War, after the pricing, the last fold will be given to me, and as for the transaction with other countries, Chang Aiqing will do it for you!" Yingchang quickly assigned the task and handed it over to them.

"Obey the order!" Chang Zifei and Yang Zeqi bent down in response.

"Yang Aiqing!" Yingchang called softly!

"The minister is here!" Yang Ze replied with a respectful expression.

"Are you familiar with the affairs of the reserve camp?" Ying Chang looked at Yang Ze indifferently and asked.

As soon as Yang Ze heard this, he knew what Yingchang was going to do.

The military department takes over the reserve battalion!

"Got it!" Yang Ze told the truth, after more than a year, the military department has understood the operation of the reserve battalion, and has also prepared a group of officials to prepare for the establishment of the reserve department.

Ying Chang nodded, indicating that he understood, and then said: "Since you already understand, let the military department take over the reserve camp!" ”

"Obey the order!" Yang Ze replied respectfully.

"You two stand down, what should you do, I still have some important things to discuss with Zhang Xiang!" Ying Chang looked at Chang Zifei and Yang Ze and said.

"Retire!"

Chang Zifei and Yang Ze successively made a retreat salute, and then soon left the imperial study, leaving Zhang Feizi and Yingchang in the imperial study, Zhang Feizi couldn't help but feel puzzled, I don't know why Yingchang left him, and I don't know what Yingchang wants to tell him.

"Let's sit down!" As soon as Zhang Feizi took his seat, Ying Chang got straight to the point and went straight to the point: "The reason why I let the military department take over the reserve camp is because there is a major event that Zhang Aiqing needs to do, and this matter is a major policy of the country, a hundred-year plan, no less than the two national policies of the reserve camp and the tenth-class peasant system!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Feizi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested, and asked with a slightly urgent expression: "Your Majesty, please say, what is the hundred-year plan that deserves Your Majesty's attention!" ”

Zhang Feizi believes that Yingchang will not exaggerate, he said that this national policy is a century-old plan, then it is a century-old plan, in this regard, he is very curious about what kind of century-old plan this is, the country's big policy!

Under Zhang Feizi's curious gaze, two words popped out of Yingchang's mouth: "Education!" ”

"Education?" Zhang Feizi frowned slightly, his eyes flashed with doubt, obviously the word education was very strange to him.

"If an empire wants to be long-lasting, it must have a steady stream of talents to become the pillars of the empire, and these talents must not only have the ability to govern the country; but also the talent of ploughing the fields; Weapons of Talent; the talent of the general; Business talents and other talents from all walks of life! ”

"Where do these talents come from? By natural genius? No, geniuses are a minority after all, and they can't make up for the gap in the empire, so we want to cultivate them the day after tomorrow, open a school, and open a school? Not enough, we have to find the best master to teach them! ”

"How do you find these masters? Find from the people, whoever ploughs the field the best, the court will ask him to teach the son to farm, whoever is good at being an official, let him teach the son to be an official, whoever has a good weapon, the best understanding of weapons, ask him to teach the son to make weapons, whoever fights the best war, let him teach the son to fight the tactics, command the army, whoever does business well, let him teach the son to do business! ”

"All talents, we have to dig out and make use of them, and cultivate more talents, so that my Daqin will have a steady stream of talents, and the idea of opening a school has long been there, but there is a financial deficit every year, and there is no extra money to open a school, and now, my Daqin treasury has 700 million taels of silver, which is completely enough to open a school!"

Ying often asked and answered himself, talked with an impassioned expression, and informed Zhang Feizi of the concept of opening a school.

The huge amount of information rushed into Zhang Feizi's mind in an instant, let him be as smart as a demon, he couldn't consume this huge amount of information in a short time, and it was even more difficult to understand thoroughly, Yingchang didn't continue to speak, giving Zhang Feizi enough time to digest it by himself.

After a stick of incense time....

After digesting it, Zhang Feizi's face showed admiration, and the worship of Yingchang in his heart was like a surging river, and it was out of control.

Zhang Feizi believes that once the education plan is implemented, everyone in the Great Qin can become a dragon and become the pillars of the empire, which is indeed a century-old plan!

"How can Your Majesty implement the 100-year plan of education?" Zhang Feizi asked with admiration.

"I'm going to set up a Chinese academy!" Ying Chang replied without thinking.

"Middle School?"

It was another unfamiliar name, which made Zhang Feizi look dazed.

"In my concept, the Chinese Academy is responsible for the development plan of the national academy; construction of schools; Appropriation; In charge of the national academy, the highest official position of the academy is a university scholar, and you are the first university scholar of the academy, holding two positions! Ying Chang gave a general concept, and many concepts would be unclear for a while, and when the time came, write an excerpt and let Zhang Feizi think about it.

"The minister kind of understood!" Zhang Feizi nodded as if he didn't understand, as if he had understood the essence of the academy.

"Then Your Majesty, do you charge tuition fees to students when you recruit students?" Zhang Feizi asked the most critical question, in Zhang Feizi's eyes, if the imperial court wants to charge tuition, then this century-old plan will not be too useful, because reading is a money-consuming thing.

When the people can't afford to pay the tuition, they naturally won't let their children go to school, and then, as before, the rich go to private schools, and the poor farm and farm.

"Haha!" Ying Chang smiled bitterly, "If it were for the teaching fee, I wouldn't be preparing to open a school and establish a middle school today!" ”

Of course, Yingchang will not let the students teach the fee, the cost is all borne by the Chinese Academy, and the Chinese Academy will transfer money to the household department, in a word, all the expenses will be paid by the imperial court, and the students will go to school for free to learn knowledge and writing, learn the highest skills in all walks of life, and become the pillars of the empire and the pillars of the country!
