It's not that Liu Dayuan was not good before, but his heart is not here. Every day, I am always afraid of being small, for fear that the court will come to ask for guilt. But now, as the situation in Linshui County is getting better and better, and Zhang Han, Huang Wenyuan and Hu Tianyi are no longer looking for trouble, his heart is gradually relaxed. took out the skills that he should have to know the county and concentrate on civil affairs.

Don't say it, Liu Dayuan, who works hard, still has some skills. Whether it is money, food, or criminal names, and other aspects can be handled freely and arranged properly. Seeing Liu Dayuan's changes, Gongsun Jian soon handed over another task to Liu Dayuan.

"Childe." Liu Dayuan looked at the plan handed to him by Gongsun Jian in his hand, and still habitually called Gongzi, instead of calling him Lord like Feng Huaidao, nor like Qi Shi and they called Lord. After all, his official position is still higher than Gongsun Jian's at the moment.

"This universal education cannot be said to be bad. It is simply a good thing that works in the present and benefits the future. If you do it well, it will last forever. But your plan is too big, and there are at least 1,000 children in the county who meet your admission requirements. And if it's all free, it's a lot of money for the county's financial expenses. Even if we have a good entry now, it's still very difficult. As he spoke, Liu Dayuan peeked at Gongsun Jian, and saw that the other party had no dissatisfied expression, so he continued: "Besides, we can spend money to build the school, but what about Mr.?" Also, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for girls and boys to study together, right? ”

Gongsun Jian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about money, you can plan the place of the school." Not just in one place, but several more schools can be built in the city according to the distance and population density. As for Mr. Feng's question, I have also discussed it with Mr. Feng before. A few of his friends will come to us in a few days, and besides, didn't you go to a neighboring county this time to find some scholars to come to our county? Besides, we're just making those kids literate and numeracy. It's not for them to be admitted to the Jinshi. The so-called universal education is to enable everyone to receive a unified education under a unified standard. As for improvement, we will wait until we popularize it. If you learn well, you can go on to higher education, and then ask famous teachers to focus on training at that time. For men and women, there is no branch until the age of twelve. Let's go back and build another girls' school. ”

Liu Dayuan nodded thoughtfully, but then asked, "Then how to deal with this diploma?" You must know that academic qualifications can only be confirmed by the imperial court, and if we do this in a small county, I am afraid that the imperial court will have opinions. ”

"Huh. Lord Liu! Can you be more open-minded? We're not confirming that talent is a talent and a scholar. Just a graduation certificate. Certificates will be issued to those who pass the examination and graduate. Prove that he can know 3,000 common words and master the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and that's it. Could it be that the imperial court will trouble us for such a trivial matter? If you are really looking for trouble, then you can, please ask the court to issue certificates after the assessment and certification. Gongsun Jian replied with a slight disdain.

Liu Dayuan thought about it carefully, nodded incessantly and said very seriously: "Okay! I'll do what you say, Childe. This is a good thing for all Buddhas! Maybe in the future, my old Liu will be the light of the son, and it will be praised by future generations. With that, Liu Dayuan stood up and respectfully saluted Gongsun Jian.

It can be seen that no matter what era it is, people's desire for reading and knowledge is so strong and urgent.

Sure enough, as soon as the news of the free universal education for children spread, the entire Linshui County was boiling. When will children from poor families be able to go to school and read and write? And there is no money, not to mention the tuition is free, I go to study every day, and the school also provides a free lunch. It's pie in the sky!

Zhang Han and Hu Tianyi, who got the news, were also shocked. Although Huang Wenyuan on the side was the same, he admired the courage and means of the father-in-law more in his heart. But Zhang Han and Hu Tianyi's intuition told them that Gongsun Jian's plan was not small. Once all people receive free education regardless of whether they are high or low, the people in the world will not worship Gongsun Jian as a god and Buddha. This is the will of the people, and what the will of the people is, that represents the world!

Hurriedly sent the news back to Shangjing as quickly as possible. The reason is very simple, this alone can prove from the side that Gongsun Jian has a rebellious heart.

Yue Huang Qian Hong and Chen Cheng, the secretary of the ministry, couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts after seeing this joint performance by Zhang Huanghu and the three of them. This madman can really get into trouble. Although such a thing cannot confirm Gongsun Jian's rebellion, it is also necessary to strengthen monitoring and prevention.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this Gongsun Sword is true......" Chen Cheng was stopped in the middle of his words when Qian Hong raised his hand.

"Chen Aiqing, in fact, this is also a good thing." Qian Hong stroked the beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Although Gongsun Jian may have his own plans for doing this. It's a pity that he is still a little tender after all. I turned around and issued an order to allocate 5,000 taels of silver from my inner treasury to Linshui County, and then issued an edict to the world, saying that free education was my idea, in order to break the monopoly of those families on reading. And Linshui County is just a pilot. If it succeeds, it will be rolled out nationwide in the future. ”

Chen Cheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, then gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your move is absolutely powerful." That Gongsun Jian was busy, but he made a wedding dress for Your Majesty. And he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, and through this incident, he not only hit those noble families, but also allowed the people to stand on the opposite side of them. Moreover, the most important people know that this matter is Your Majesty's idea, and Your Majesty's prestige will be even more popular with the people. ”

"Hahaha, that's what I mean. So, ah. It's good to be young, but sometimes if you're too young, you'll suffer! Yue Huang Qian Hong stroked his beard and laughed.

In the middle hall of the Shangjing City Mansion, Gong Mohan sat with his three sons and several other people such as Shang Shu Luo Dayong of the Criminal Department. The look on everyone's face is different. Gong Mohan seemed to have nothing to do, but Gong Zhen was worried, and Luo Dayong lowered his head and pondered.

"Father, you need to come out and say a few words! Nowadays, many people outside hate our public. Gongsun Jian's stinky boy didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he was messing around in Linshui County, but His Majesty seized the opportunity to attack us. The third prince said angrily.

Gong Mohan ignored his noise, but looked at Luo Dayong, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Boqi, what do you think about this?" ”

"Old Xiangguo." Luo Da bowed forward slightly with his body and replied unhurriedly: "Your Majesty's move seems to be powerful, but it doesn't have much effect. And when the time comes, it may backfire. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"If Gongsun Jianxian's nephew praised this set of free education in Linshui County very well, then the pilot was successful, should it be implemented nationwide? But does the treasury have so much money? Will the Maison stand in the way? Luo Dayong laughed as he spoke.

"The situation in Linshui County is different. In total, there are tens of thousands of people. There are only about 1,000 children who are eligible to enter the school. According to Huang Wenyuan's report, the trade in Linshui County is quite prosperous today, and it is initially estimated that the income belonging to the county government will not be less than 10,000 taels per month. Taking out a thousand taels for free education is nothing at all. Besides, Gongsun Jianxian's nephew killed several families as soon as he arrived in Linshui County, and when the murderous spirit was at his peak, how could any family dare to go against him? But the court is different. How many school-age children are going to school in our big week? The imperial court couldn't come up with this money alone. Moreover, there are also nobles and relatives of the family who oppose it. I'm afraid that His Majesty's face won't know where to put it when the time comes! Hahaha......"

After listening to Luo Dayong's explanation, Gong Mohan nodded with satisfaction. But the public on the side didn't see it that way. Still retorted with a look of discouragement: "Lord Luo, but now the rumors outside are all that the children of our public family gave His Majesty an idea. Isn't this roasting my father-in-law's house on the fire? And those untouchables are now praising His Majesty Shengming and calling us nobles bastards. ”

"Shut up." Without waiting for Gong Zhen to finish speaking, Gong Mohan angrily reprimanded: "Tomorrow, the old man will resign for you." From now on, you are responsible for the purchase and sale of your home in other places. You shouldn't ask anything else. In addition, the old man warns you that if you dare to do anything that endangers the family and Yue'er, the old man will beat you to death with his own hands. ”

Gong Zhen was scolded by his father and was stunned. All of a sudden, the official was gone, and he was sent to other places. The whole person is like a frosted eggplant. 'Poof' knelt in front of Gong Mohan and begged with a crying voice: "Dad, my son is wrong." You forgive me once, how can the child be filial to your old man when he goes to a foreign country? ”

"Get out!" Gong Mohan roared angrily.

It's just a shame, not to mention that the waste is spineless. Especially there were a few outsiders such as Luo Dayong present. Isn't that a joke for people to see their own homes?

"Second brother, from today onwards, you are responsible for managing this family. In addition, the fees and benefits of the third child are all halved. When do you really understand what went wrong and then recover. ”

"Yes. The child knows. Gongzhi stood up and bowed in agreement, but his heart blossomed.

The eldest is a boy, Gongsun Jian, and now he is not at home. The third child is completely finished this time, and in the future, this public family will have the final say. Not surprisingly, after the death of my father, the position of the head of the family is also his own.

After dealing with the third father, Gong Mohan said to the eldest Gongzhen: "Boss, you write a letter to Yue'er." Let's just say that the old man decided to officially recognize the girl from Yu Wu under his room. And it is entered into the family tree in the same way as the male members of the family. The children are too young to come back, so they don't have to come back for the time being. The matter was done first, and the ceremony will be made up for when I come back later to find a chance. ”

"Father." Gongzhen and Gongzhi spoke almost at the same time, but Gongzhi immediately shut up when he thought of the fate of the third child just now. Gongzhi continued: "This doesn't seem appropriate. Not to mention that the girl is not Yue'er's biological child, and the key is not a boy, how can this be included in the family tree? ”

"Hehe, confused. Boss, you're embarrassed to say such things, but you're also the child's grandfather. Gong Mohan glared at Gong Zhen, and then looked at Luo Dayong and the others. He groaned slightly: "Yue'er, that kid is affectionate and trustworthy. Since I recognized that child as my daughter, I love him even more than my own. When I lived in the village outside our city, Gongzhong reported to me. Yue'er personally supervises the little girl to read and write every day, and also plays with her. Even washing and resting are all done by Yue'er herself, and there is no need for maids to serve. And one more thing you may not know. Today's financial power in Linshui County is all in the hands of that girl, and she has to follow the county order if she writes a note casually. Hehe, do you think such a doll is eligible to be included in my father-in-law's family tree? ”

"What? How old is that kid? Yue'er is also messing around, and it is understandable to be spoiled, but how can the financial power of a county be handed over to a six-year-old doll? Gong Zhen said angrily, secretly blaming his son for being ignorant.

"Hehe, six. What's wrong with being six years old? The old man heard that the doll and the daughter of the county order family opened a shop in partnership, and the daily income was not less than hundreds of taels of silver. Hmph, is this something that an ordinary doll can do? There is also no one in the entire Linshui County who can surpass her, and many old shopkeepers and old bookkeepers have come to the door with gifts to ask for advice. Is it an insult for such a child to enter our public house? Gong Mohan said angrily.
