However, if Eder wants to pay attention to education, then Prime Minister Bretianu cannot bypass it. However, his habits did not stop Edel from agreeing more with the king's emphasis on education.

In addition to the Prime Minister, Eder's vision for education reform is also important to implement, and the choice of the Minister of Education is also very important. Eder is not very satisfied with the ability of the current Minister of Education, Ingres, who has been working in educational institutions, probably because of his age, and has always been calm and impatient. And in the case of a significant increase in education funding in recent years, the report card is not too outstanding. If the national education plan were in his hands, Eder would have been able to believe that it would be done.

So now it has become a bit urgent to change the secretary of education, but fortunately, Eder still found a satisfactory candidate in the Ministry of Education. I. Ruchi Florica, who is now Romania's deputy minister of education, is the man Eder is now favoring.

Born into a small aristocratic family in Buzeu, his father, I. Waite Florica, was a farmer who joined the army during the Revolutionary War and was later made a baron. It was only after he was made a nobleman that his father changed his current name.

Although his father was born as a farmer, he was quite far-sighted and sent I. Ruchi Florica and his brother to school at a very young age. The two are also very competitive, all the way to college.

Among them, I. Ruchi Florica studied at the University of Bucharest, while his brother studied at the University of Iasi. After finishing his studies, his brother returned to his hometown to start as a minor official for the development of the family.

And I. Ruchi Florica was retained to teach because of his good grades, and successively served as a teaching assistant, and the professor continued to the position of dean, and at this time the goddess of luck favored him. At that time, the Ministry of Education was preparing to bring in some school management talents, and it was his former teacher who was in charge of this. Impressed by I. Ruchi Florica, a former student, he was recruited into the Ministry of Education, where he remained for more than ten years, until he became his current deputy minister.

I. Ruchi Florica has always been synonymous with radicalism at the Ministry of Education. He admired the German education system very much, and believed that if Romania wanted to be strong, it must start with education. It advocates expanding the scope of enrollment and providing financial assistance to students in need. What Eder admired most was that he also advocated the use of military and national education in schools, and believed that this was the only way to make Romania quickly strong and free from external threats. So when Eder needed a new minister, he was the first thing that came to mind.

However, for I. Ruchi Florica to be the minister, the consent of Prime Minister Brettianu is first required. For this reason, Eder planned to consult with the Prime Minister, so Edel summoned the Prime Minister in the palace.

Eder asked the prime minister about his vision for expanding the scope of education in the future. "Your Excellency, what do you think of my idea?"

After hearing the king's ideas about the huge reform of education, Prime Minister Brettianu pondered. "Your Majesty, I think this plan is still feasible, but there is one thing that needs to be told to Your Majesty."

Eder spoke to the Prime Minister. "If you have any questions, just say it."

After receiving Eder's approval, Prime Minister Brettianu spoke. "Your Majesty, I have made a preliminary estimate. According to His Majesty's idea, the Ministry of Education needs at least 170 million lei a year in funding to launch this idea. However, the exact amount is still to be known by asking the Minister of Education, Angel. ”

Seeing that the prime minister agreed with his idea and was only worried about the financial problem, Eder told him what he thought. "I have a solution to the problem that the budget is too high."

Hearing that the king had a solution to his worries about the financial problems. Prime Minister Brettianu said expectantly. "Your Majesty, please speak."

"I plan to mobilize donations from the Romanian people to fund education, and the focus is on projects that can win people's tears, which require a lot of social donations."

Hearing the king speak of this unprecedented move, Prime Minister Brettianu was not worth commenting on. Because in the history of Romania, there has never been a government-organized educational charity. Previously, it was all individual or small-scale group action, like the well-known national body in Romania.

Seeing that the Prime Minister was a little incomprehensible to this, Eder decided to give a bombshell. "If this educational charity is established, the royal family will take the lead in donating."

To accentuate his tone, Edel spoke with a finger. "The royal family can donate 100 million lei to support this institution, and will also appeal to all sectors of society to donate money to help those poor students."

In addition, in order to let the world know the attitude of the Romanian royal family towards education, Eder expressed another idea of his own. "At the same time, the royal family will also build a comprehensive university, and it can also reduce the cost of students in difficulty."

Brettianu was surprised by Eder's lavish spending, and the royal family's one-time investment was enough for two-thirds of the first year's expenses. In particular, the initial construction of the comprehensive university was not small at all, and the various construction costs were only a small part of it, and the bulk was the purchase of various experimental equipment. Therefore, until later generations, the cost of science was much higher than that of liberal arts.

You don't see that the various universities run by the Republic of China are basically liberal arts, and tens of thousands of oceans can be done. If they are allowed to run a comprehensive university, they will be able to run it without millions of them.

In Eder's mind, this university will become a world-renowned university and a benchmark for Romanian education in the future. When people think of Romanian universities, they are the first to think of them, so this university Eder spares no expense. You need to use good equipment, as well as well-known scholars and scientists.

Fortunately, the current war has made it much easier for Eder to recruit scholars and scientists, there are always some high-end intellectuals in every country who are tired of the war, and Eder's current target is these people, and after the end of World War I, then the scientists in Germany and Austria-Hungary who have a difficult life will not refuse Eder's call, after all, scientists also have to eat and live.

Don't look at Eder's one-time investment of hundreds of millions of lei in the royal family, these will not have much impact on the royal family's industry. You must know that even Eder himself is not very clear about the assets of the Romanian royal family now, that is, when Viscount Adri, the head of the palace, counted the total assets of the royal family last month, Eder only knew the specific figures.
