Chapter 261 Running a Technical School
"Ahh
Wu Meiniang, who had just adapted to it, was suddenly grabbed by Zhao Yin's little hand, which frightened her into exclaiming.
"What are you going to do?"
Wu Meiniang wanted to withdraw her hand, but she didn't have Zhao Yin's strength, so she didn't move at all.
"You're pinching your arms, and here are your shoulders, okay?"
Just when she panicked, Zhao Yin moved her hand up and put it on her shoulder.
"Why did you react so much?"
Zhao Yin looked back at her in surprise.
"I ...... I thought ......"
Wu Meiniang swallowed for a long time, but she didn't say anything.
"Alright, keep pinching!"
Zhao Yin turned his head with an indifferent expression.
He knew that Wu Meiniang had a stubborn personality, so he did it on purpose just now, he wanted to tame her step by step, change her personality, and then teach them to do business and let her take care of the bank.
"Yes!"
At this time, Wu Shun was very grateful to Zhao Yin, so no matter what kind of work she did, she tried her best to do it well.
"The ...... of the Horse"
At this moment, Wang De's shrill voice came in, and then the two girls leaned aside very interestingly.
"Master Horse, don't enjoy it here, the emperor summons you!"
After Wang De ran to Zhao Yin's side, he bowed.
"Why are you summoned again? What happened this time? β
"It's nothing this time, it's just some small things, and you'll know when you go!"
......
"Okay, you stinky boy, now there are more and more eyes, I said why didn't you buy a stake in the salt farm this time, it turned out that you secretly bought all the salt farms!"
In the imperial study, Li Er stuck his waist with one hand, pointed at Zhao Yin and scolded with a smile.
Now the salt business is almost all done by the imperial court, but one salt mine is not enough at all, and the salt mines will always be dug less and less, so he thought about finding a few more salt mines.
I have been looking for it for a long time, but I have found nothing, but all the larger salt mines have been bought by this kid.
Now he understands that the reason why this kid didn't buy shares this time was not because of generosity, but because he was waiting to dig a hole for himself!
And, it forces you to jump down.
"Son-in-law, this is all just-in-law!"
Zhao Yin arched his hand unhurriedly and said with his head held high.
"You can't mine these salt mines if you keep them in your hands, so why don't you give them to me?"
Li Er glared at him, and in desperation, he still said soft words.
After all, this salt mine was bought by this kid with money, and with the contract in hand, it is always difficult for him to rob it openly.
But he also knows that the reason why this kid did this is to slander himself!
"It's not impossible to let a few out, but we have to negotiate the price!"
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, the kid began to talk about the price.
"I am your father-in-law, and you have no father or mother, so I am the adult of your family, do you still have to mention money when your family asks you for something?"
Li Er deliberately grimaced and asked sharply.
"The reason why the son-in-law is doing this is to benefit the people and share the worries of the king!"
Zhao Yin said with a straight face.
"Pull, will you pull another one for Lao Tzu?"
Li Er looked at his underwhelming look, and he didn't get angry, "Give Lao Tzu this set again, if you can't say why you come today, I will punish the crime according to the law!" β
"Your Majesty, this is a mistake!"
Zhao Yin said unhurriedly: "You see, the son-in-law has been working hard for Datang recently, researching weapons, and establishing technical schools, which one doesn't need money?" β
"It's okay if the father-in-law doesn't allocate funds to the son-in-law, the son-in-law can only sell his mine to raise money, isn't this a worry for His Majesty?"
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yin looked at Li Er with some grievances, everything he said was the truth, and there was no lie.
"What is a technical school?"
After Li Er heard this new word, he immediately became interested.
Every time this kid pokes something new, it will definitely bring him great benefits, otherwise, with this kid's unprofitable character, how can he be so concerned.
"It is literally meaningful, to provide a place for students to learn, can be divided into two categories, the juvenile class is mainly knowledgeable and hyphenated, and the adult class is mainly technology-based, such as those technical talents in our industry, you can train from your own school in the future!"
Zhao Yin did not hide this, and told all his ideas and ideas.
"Yes, that's a good idea."
Li Er was very satisfied with Zhao Yin's suggestion, and he could imagine that what came out after studying in school would definitely be a talent from Datang.
"Although the price of paper books is much cheaper now, it is still far from enough to popularize poor students, so my son-in-law believes that schools should be set up all over the country so that those students who are working hard can also learn knowledge."
"Most of the people who study in Datang now are disciples and protΓ©gΓ©s of the Seven Great Families, because they monopolize the education market and cherish themselves, so that other poor disciples have no chance at all."
That's why the son-in-law came up with the idea of opening a free school so that the majority of students can receive education. Otherwise, in the future, the officials of the imperial court will still be the children of the Seven Great Families, and more available talents will be buried in the world. β
Originally, he just wanted to provide some talents for his own industry, but since the topic has come here, he might as well revitalize education in Datang.
"That's true, but where does the money come from?"
Li Er was very satisfied with such a proposal, but when he thought of what this kid had just said, he suddenly frowned, if everyone in the world could learn for free, what an astronomical amount of money it would cost.
"Why doesn't Your Majesty use the increased tax to build schools? It can be regarded as taking it from the people, using it for the people, and leaving a good name for the ages, why not? β
Knowing that this slamming the door would not be a happy money, fortunately, he began to help His Majesty calculate and analyze the pros and cons.
"If the money is used to set up a school, what will happen to the expenses of the imperial court?"
Li Er frowned, although he wanted this good name very much, but he couldn't let the Manchu Dynasty civil and military cadres stare at it!
"Father-in-law, have you forgotten anything, now that grain, paper mills, and salt have all been monopolized by the royal family, the annual income is guaranteed to be tens of millions, which is enough for the expenses of the imperial court for more than two years, which is much higher than the tax!"
Zhao Yin analyzed with a smile, the idea of founding a school was not false by him, but this money must be paid by this old man.
"Wonderful! Wonderful! β
After hearing this proposal, Li Er was immediately overjoyed, he didn't expect that this eternal reputation would fall on him so easily.
"You kid will go back and write a detailed report to me immediately, and I will implement it as soon as possible!"
Originally, such a major matter could only be finalized after the ministers of the court and the central government discussed together, but Li Er directly filtered this step.
There is no other reason, each minister has his own team, secretly cultivating his own forces, if the school is promoted, it will undoubtedly disrupt their deployment, if these guys can agree, it will be called hell.
Therefore, this matter does not need to be discussed, he can directly make a decision, for the sake of eternal fame, and also for the sake of those students of my Datang.
"Yes!"
Zhao Yin respectfully surrendered his hand.
"In addition, the son-in-law also suggested that a special department be set up, not for anything else, specifically to solve the problem of reading for the poor people!"
Zhao Yin, who had just turned around and was about to leave, immediately thought of another question.
If it is still managed by the original people of the Seven Great Families, then this kind of atmosphere will still not be broken.
"It's not that this suggestion is impossible, it's just that who has the ability to hold such an important position?"
Li Er frowned again when he heard this, since this kid made this suggestion, then what he rejected in his heart, he also knew in his heart.
"The son-in-law thinks that there is someone who can take on such an important position, Ma Zhou ......!"
"This person is not only knowledgeable, but also has nothing to do with the Seven Great Families, and the most important thing is that he is from a poor family, and he should be able to understand the difficulties of poor students!"
He had taken a fancy to this person early on and had always wanted to poach this person for his own use, so in order to realize his plan in advance, he had to push this person out.
"Yes, he is up to the task."
For the person recommended by Zhao Yin, Li Er gave a very affirmation, "Rabbit cub, don't change the topic here, what about the salt mine in your kid's hand!" I must leave a few left, or else everything will not be discussed! β
"Father-in-law, what are you doing so excited, the son-in-law of the salt mine still has it here, and I have always kept it for you, but you also know that it is not easy for the son-in-law to make money, at least you have to give a capital, right?"
Zhao Yin said with a hippie smile.
He had already calculated that so many salt mines in his hands would inevitably be remembered by this old boy.
"Give you 50,000 taels, don't think I don't know the price of your kid's purchase."
Li Er glared at Zhao Yin angrily, this bastard still wants to pit his own silver, if it weren't for the big profit of this thing, he wouldn't give such a price.
"That's it! At this price, the father-in-law's face, the son-in-law naturally wants to give it, and if he changes it to someone else, he doesn't have 100,000 taels, so don't even think about it. β
