"Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask for." Pei Shiju continued.

"Pei Gexiang, tell me what you don't understand."

"If the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of the Interior preset next year's production and sales targets in advance, how should we solve the contradiction between supply and demand in the event of natural and man-made disasters? The minister has not had this experience, and His Majesty needs further explanation. ”

"Huh! Good question. In fact, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it will suffer from a shortage of production capacity, and in the event of a war, it will also require a temporary increase in production capacity. Therefore, the production capacity of next year should be appropriately raised by 2 to 3 percent, and the excess capacity can be entered into the national warehouse as a state-owned reserve after production. Of course, if there is no disaster next year, it will be necessary to make appropriate reductions when setting the production capacity target for the next year, because the state-owned reserves will have to be digested. This is an idea, as for how to formulate next year's production capacity indicators, Pei Gexiang and Lu Gexiang need to do a good job of market research. I allow the production capacity task index for next year to be set higher, because there are not many stocks of various materials and grain in the national treasury, but we need to pay attention to the production in the second year, understand? ”

"Lao Chen understands, thank you for your majesty's advice!" Pei Shiju nodded in admiration and said.

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Commerce is already organizing a non-governmental caravan, planning to go to the countries of the Western Regions in the form of foreign trade next year to dump all kinds of surplus commodities of our dynasty, and in the second half of this year and next year, our Ministry of Internal Affairs can increase the production capacity of all kinds of materials, and the minister is sure that under the condition of ensuring the consumption of the people of our dynasty, all the excess production capacity will be sold to foreign lands, and a large amount of gold and silver property will be earned back for our dynasty." Lu Zhaolin got up and said confidently. This bold remark provoked the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to applaud.

"Good! Is there anyone else on this topic? Yang Er asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say to Lu Gexiang." Everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be Liu Wenjing, the minister of the Military Intelligence Department, who got up and played.

"Mr. Zhaoren, I see the matter of your military intelligence department, it is better to go down to the yamen of the Ministry of Commerce to discuss with Lu Gexiang alone, I believe that Lu Xiang will fully cooperate with your military intelligence department."

"Huh! What the minister wants is His Majesty's words. Liu Wenjing immediately laughed when she heard Yang Er say this. With Yang Er's words, he no longer worried that Lu Zhaolin would shirk it.

"I am here to say hello to all the ministries first, and in the future, whenever there is a need from the military intelligence department, we should do our best to cooperate with it, and we cannot refuse."

"Your Ministers obey!" The ministers of the six major state departments, including Yu Wenhua, all stood up to respond.

"Okay, now I will talk about a few arrangements of the Ministry of Culture and Education for next year, which are also extremely important." As he spoke, Yang Er turned his head to look at the ministers of the Ministry of Culture and Education, led by Pei Yun.

"Next year, the first task of the Ministry of Culture and Education is to organize a scientific expedition, which has been postponed for a year due to the war, and will be expanded next year. The first is to organize the number of candidates to prepare for the exam; The second is to increase the scale of admission. It is more important to formulate a perfect scientific examination content, such as how to take the exam? What to test? What is the basis for admission? How to assign job titles, etc.? All of these need to be developed by the Ministry of Culture and Education, so that I can prepare for the students in a targeted manner. Does Pei Gexiang understand what I mean? ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen understands. But I still ask Your Majesty to tell Wei Chen and others about his thoughts in detail. Weichen is scratching his head about this matter, for example, the selection of 100 officials in the imperial examination seems to have some conflicts with the selection of officials in my Royal Luzhou Academy, it seems that both can make students become officials, and I hope Your Majesty will make it clear which is more important. "Luzhou Royal Academy and Jiangwutang were originally Pei Yun in charge, the two schools have provided a large number of talents for the development of Hedong's political and military forces, which has formed a mature assessment and selection mechanism, but at this time, it is necessary to strengthen the selection of officials for the imperial examination, so that Pei Yun and other officials of the Ministry of Culture and Education are a little overwhelmed, and they urgently need an explanation.

"Hmm~ I think I hid my selfishness when I advocated the establishment of the Luzhou Royal Academy and the Royal Lecture Hall, and now it's really time to have a saying." If Pei Yun hadn't brought this up, Yang Er would have really ignored it, and now what is in front of him is like two independent selection systems, how to have both? Yang Er couldn't help but have a headache.

"Your Majesty, last year was the first time that this dynasty opened a department, and it is inevitable that there are some ill-conceived things, and the lower officials think that the two ways of taking the office should be integrated, as for how to integrate! This is debatable. Yuan Min, the former imperial master and now the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education, proposed. Although he did not put forward a specific solution, he pointed out a clear idea for Yang Er, which made Yang Er suddenly think of the civil service examination system in later generations, so he suddenly had a new idea in his mind.

"I have an idea for you to discuss." After a slight pause, Yang Er continued: "I plan to make the Royal Luzhou College the first institution of higher learning in this dynasty, but all students who have passed the township examination can be admitted to Luzhou College, after 3 months of systematic study, and then after the primary assessment of the college, those who meet the standards can enter Beijing to participate in this year's imperial examination. This is an idea, and you can share your views. Yang Eryi only thought of a general framework for a while, and as for how to implement it, he still needs to listen to the thoughts of Pei Yun and others.

"Your Majesty, this is nothing more than a placement test, why not? The students who came to the capital to participate in the imperial examination last year were mixed, and many of them did not learn or know how to take advantage of the camp. If the preset level 1 examination can be screened out, the entrance examination link in Beijing can be set as the Beijing examination, and the primary selection of Luzhou College can be positioned in the college examination, and only the students participating in the college examination need to draw an advanced score line. In this way, it can also avoid too many students coming to Beijing for the imperial examination, resulting in a shortage of resources in the Beijing Inn. Yang Xiaozheng, the former dynasty Wen Linlang and the current vice minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education, proposed.

"Hmmm! Yes, that's the way. Can you be specific? For example, what is the college exam? After passing the line, you can enter the Beijing test, if you don't pass the line, how to arrange it? There are also students who have passed the township examination after entering Luzhou College can choose the direction of research and study according to their own preferences, the college is now divided into several categories, such as Confucianism, arithmetic, engineering, business, agriculture, etc., several categories should be set up to promote the score line, and the students who enter the Beijing examination will also participate in the imperial examination of different categories, so that outstanding students can enter the corresponding yamen as officials. What do you think? Yang Er felt that this idea included the advanced college entrance examination model and civil service examination model in later generations.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials have asked Luzhou College to open a law major for students to study, regardless of whether they take the Beijing examination or not, as long as they complete their studies from Luzhou College, our Criminal Supervision Department will accept all of them, which is better than a veteran who can't read big words." Zhang Heng suddenly had an idea when he heard this, and hurriedly interjected regardless of the discussion of the members of the Ministry of Culture and Education.

"Your Majesty, our military intelligence department has requested Luzhou Lecture Hall to open a major in military intelligence, and the subordinate has the same idea as Zhang Xiang, as long as he completes his studies, he will be accepted into our department and awarded the rank of Zhengqi brand." Liu Wenjing also reacted and hurriedly added.

"Your Majesty, my Ministry of Commerce involves many matters such as customs testing, commercial taxation, drug and food safety testing, import and export commodity testing, etc., but the elite students selected by the ordinary scientific examination can only chant poems and write splendid articles, but there are many deficiencies in the profession, and they can hardly be immediately employed, please Your Majesty increase these learning contents in the business categories offered by Luzhou College, if there is a lack of teachers, our Ministry of Commerce can choose to send officials to substitute teachers." Lu Zhaolin also rushed to speak and clarify his thoughts. For a time, the senior officials of several major departments argued endlessly about what the students had learned and what they were examined, but they left aside Confucianism, which had always been admired, and no one mentioned it, as if it had become a useless thing. The two Confucian Li Gang and Yu Wenshu, who were sitting in front of them, glared at each other angrily at these messy members of various departments, and it was inconvenient to argue with these juniors.

"All right, you all be quiet. What you think is reasonable, Luzhou College is the purpose of running a school, to cultivate professionals for the country, as the saying goes, "let professional people do professional things." "Only then can things be done well and not go wrong. If the ministry needs the college to add a new professional category, you can write a book and submit it, as well as the number of supplementary officials required for the post under the statistics of the ministry, and the Ministry of Culture and Education Pei Xiang sent a special person to count the name of the post department and the number of personnel required and the requirements, and made a scientific examination notice, which was widely distributed in the world, so that the students themselves in Luzhou College and Jiangwutang directional study of their majors, and the Beijing examination will be carried out to select professional talents. ”

"Your Majesty, the lower officials understand. In the future, our ministry will discuss this matter, and we also welcome all ministers to discuss relevant matters at the yamen of our Ministry of Culture and Education. Within 10 days, the lower officials will come up with specific implementation measures and submit them to His Majesty for review. Pei Yun said.

"Good! In addition to scientific research, there is also an important matter that needs to be gradually carried out in our Great Sui. There is no need to discuss this matter, and the commissioner of the Ministry of Culture and Education will be responsible for implementing it. According to the Ministry of Culture and Education, all county capitals and townships issued a document that all school-age children who have reached the age of 6, regardless of gender, will be admitted to the school for free for initiation, and the school period will be 8 years, and they can participate in the township examination at the age of 14. The tuition and textbook fees for these 8 years of study are all borne by the local government, which I call the 8-year compulsory education. The Department of Criminal Supervision is responsible for supervising enforcement, and if it is found that a school-age student is not enrolled in school, the corresponding officials of the county and township level Ministry of Culture and Education will be held accountable. Unless the child is born with a disease that prevents them from learning. As for the school system of the eight-year compulsory education and the formulation of textbooks and teaching materials, the Ministry of Culture and Education will come up with a unified plan. Did you hear me clearly? Bae Xiang. ”

"This~ Yes, Your Majesty, this department has come down to study this matter. As long as there is sufficient financial subsidy from Lu Xiang of the Ministry of Commerce, it will not be difficult to implement this eight-year compulsory enlightenment education. After that, Pei Yun peeked at Lu Zhaolin, Zheng Fengchi, Wang Bo and other officials of the Ministry of Commerce, who were suddenly confused.

"Your Majesty, this --- is a lot of budget! Every year, there are more than one million schoolchildren who turn 6 years old, and this financial subsidy alone is astronomical. Lu Zhaolin reacted and shouted urgently, and Zheng Fengchi and Wang Bo around him were also anxious, feeling that they had been calculated.

"Hehehehe~" Yang Er immediately laughed when he saw him waiting for a anxious look, and the entire Xiande Hall was also full of laughter, only Lu Zhaolin and other officials from the Ministry of Commerce at the meeting looked sad.

"Mr. Lu, Zheng Gong, Vice Minister Wang! Who doesn't know that your Ministry of Commerce is in charge of the country's economic lifeline, and the profits generated by papermaking, printing, and book monopoly in your hands alone will be enough to cope with the eight years of enlightenment education for children in our dynasty. It's a big deal that I will hand over the pricing and sales rights of these things to your ministry, but you need to remember that the price of selling in the dynasty must be close to the people, so that the common people can afford to consume it, and as for the export of these things, the price is up to you. ”

"Hehehehe~ With Your Majesty's words, then everything is all right, other old men dare not say that it is the income brought by this papermaking, and the old man is fully sure that he can meet my school-age children for 8 years of free schooling. This thin fine white paper is more valuable than cattle and sheep in the Western Regions and even in Baekje and Dongying, and the nobles of Baekje and Dongying regard the possession of Sui paper and books as a status symbol. A pound of fine white paper is enough to exchange for a big girl who is like a flower and jade! Hehe! Zheng Fengchi, who has been familiar with business for a long time, laughed. After he said this, Lu Zhaolin and the others seemed to come to their senses all of a sudden, and they also laughed wildly, as if they had suddenly picked up a good baby.

"Your Majesty, this papermaking technique is a top-secret technology of our dynasty, so there seems to be a worry about leaking the technology for export?" Li Taizhi, deputy minister of military intelligence, got up and reminded. When Lu Zhaolin heard this, he stopped laughing and looked at Yang Er on the dragon case hesitantly, for fear that Yang Er would change his mind.

"Hmmm! What Vice Prime Minister Li said is reasonable, and he has to guard against it. I have long known that the Southern Dynasty has repeatedly sent people to infiltrate my Luzhou paper mill to explore my papermaking technology. It's just that Luzhou failed to leak secrets because of its strict precautions. In this way, in order to ensure that our papermaking skills are not leaked, the Military Intelligence Department intervened in the Luzhou Paper Mill to be solely responsible for the secrecy. As for how to do it, Mr. Zhaoren doesn't need to say! ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the original secrecy system of Luzhou Paper Mill was in charge of the Military Intelligence Department, and many suspicious elements were also arrested, and this time it is nothing more than raising the level of prevention. Next, the minister will set up 2 miles around the Luzhou paper mill as a military restricted area, and those who do not have permission are not allowed to trespass. ”

"Good! With Mr. Zhaoren here, I can sleep with peace of mind. Of course, workshops involving the confidentiality of other technologies should also strengthen their confidentiality arrangements. Especially military workshops. Zhang Xiang, you must strictly screen the officials who enter the workshops and do a good job of covert monitoring to prevent them from being bought by foreign workers and selling their top-secret technology. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is what Xia Guan has been doing, please Your Majesty just sleep with confidence. There are ministers, and those workshop technicians and officials will never dare to commit treason to the enemy. ”

"Huh! Good. That's all about the Ministry of Culture and Education, does Pei Xiang have anything to add? If not, I'm going to move on to the next issue. ”

"Your Majesty, there is no problem with the minister for the time being."

"Good! Next, I will talk about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nationalities. There are many foreign vassal states bordering our borders, and in the future, I will take back my homeland in the Western Regions, where dozens of vassal states are now under the iron heel of the Western Turks. In fact, I feel that it is not difficult to recover this homeland, but the difficulty is how to live in harmony with the local people of different races, how to make these people of different races accept the way of life and production of our Han people, and how difficult it is to train a large number of officials stationed in the Western Regions. This is the reason why I set up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nationalities, but fortunately, I have Mr. He Chong. The ministers and ministers of various ministries and cabinets are vying for Luzhou College to open relevant professional categories to train grassroots officials, but I feel that it is more appropriate to set up a separate foreign affairs and ethnic college under Luzhou College, or establish a separate foreign affairs and ethnic school independent of Luzhou University, and specifically recruit students of different races and students who are interested in foreign affairs and ethnic affairs. After completing his studies, he was sent to the countries of the Western Regions as an official to make a contribution to the stability of our border and ethnic integration. I entrusted Mr. Yanbo to do this, and asked Mr. Yanbo to go to Luzhou University for inspection, and if the conditions there permitted, I would open the Foreign Affairs Nationality Branch of Luzhou University in it. If the conditions are not good, choose a place in the capital and establish the Royal Institute of Foreign Affairs and Nationalities, and you will also serve as the first office of the academy. ”
