Chapter 522: Seeking to Establish a School
Queen, please speak. ”
Qin Zhao sat down.
After Qin Zhao sat down, he stroked his sleeves, Guan Tongshu also sat down on the side at this time, holding Qin Zhao's arm, this intimate and active action Guan Tongshu rarely does, Guan Tongshu has really looked like a queen since she learned the queen's etiquette in the palace, and she is very particular about the rules in everything.
"The concubine can write words, can stroke the piano and dance, this is all because the concubine was a child, Eniang and Ama did not restrict the concubine, and when they saw what the concubine liked, they let the concubine learn something, although Ama is not a minister in the court, it is just a small sacrificial wine, but with the support of Ama and Eniang, the concubine has had the opportunity to learn since she was a child, but the concubine is thinking that this folk woman is not without talent, just because there is no opportunity to learn these memories and literary knowledge."
Guan Tongshu said eloquently, she would remember that when she was a child, she had the opportunity to have a husband to teach her to play the piano, a teacher to teach her to dance, and a husband to lead her to write a script together.
However, the little maids in the house were about the same age as her, and her playmates were only two months old from her, but the little maids had no chance to learn these things.
If the emperor could now implement some policies that would allow all men and women in the world to have the opportunity to study and enter the academy, rather than the exclusive rights of the rich and noble, then in a few years the country would have a lot of talented people, which was to prepare for the country's talent pool.
These days, she has been thinking about this matter, but she feels that this plan is really huge, if she directly proposes to the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will not be happy and think it is ridiculous, but the ministers in the court will think that this is a huge expenditure, and it is impossible to support it.
"The concubines are thinking that the way to govern the country should be to govern the country by people, if the country wants to be governed, if it is good, there should be enough talents, the emperor has carried out a major blood change a few days ago, and there are now many talents in the court who have both civil and military skills, but these talents are all sons of large families who have had the opportunity to learn the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, learn poetry and songs, and have the opportunity to serve the country above the court."
Guan Tongshu stood up, put his hands in front of him in front of the emperor and said eloquently, Qin Zhao just raised his eyebrows when he listened, picked up the teacup on the plane, took a sip of tea lightly, and motioned to Guan Tongshu to continue, what Guan Tongshu said is indeed an ordinary situation, which is also a tradition for thousands of years.
"The concubine is thinking, if the children of ordinary families also have the opportunity to go to school, both men and women can learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and then according to their interests or talents, they will have the opportunity to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting or martial arts, I think after these few years, our country must be full of talents."
Guan Tongshu said his thoughts, Qin Zhao was silent at this time, he knew that what the queen said was not unreasonable, there are so many people in the world, but those who have the opportunity to study and have the opportunity to become an official in the court are only the sons of a very small number of rich and noble families.
"Empress, your idea is indeed a surprise to me, this idea is too huge, there are so many disadvantaged people in the world, if I want to give them all the opportunity to go to school to study, this is an unbearable expenditure for the imperial court."
Qin Zhao only said a word after half the time, Guan Tongshu could hear it as soon as she heard it, she and Qin Zhao had been husband and wife for so long What Qin Zhao's words meant, she had already been able to grasp it, she knew that the emperor now agreed with her statement, but she knew that although this matter was easy to conceive, if it was really to be implemented, it would not be an easy thing, and where would this huge expenditure come from?
"And since ancient times, agriculture has been established, if the children of ordinary families are allowed to go to school, there will be fewer people involved in agricultural labor, so that the output situation is not guaranteed, for the peasants, the grain is the first, for the national treasury, the granary is always wanted, for the peasant people, the grain is the first, for the treasury, the granary must always be full, so that it can be safe."
When Qin Zhao said these words, he stood up, his hands behind his back, and the expression on his face was thoughtful, in fact, he and the queen actually had some thoughts in the same way.
"The concubine understands that this is not an easy thing to implement, and the concubine is thinking that if the country has the ability, why not build schools in various places, and let the respected gentlemen train a group of teaching gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy, and send them to various places to be ordered to teach, layer by layer, so that our teaching gentlemen can blossom everywhere."
Guan Tongshu continued to propose, he could see that Qin Zhao was shaken, and he also knew that this matter was not impossible to achieve, but it required investment, a lot of money and talents, and there was no return in the short term, but if it persisted for a long time, the country would cultivate a large number of talents, even if there was a war, people would perform their duties and contribute their talents to become invincible.
"But even if this school is established, where will the children of ordinary families have the money to let their children go to the school?"
Qin Zhao frowned and raised this question, he knew that if a country wants to have a solid foundation, it must have a large number of talents to give advice to the country, he is not independent, although he is the lord of the Ninety-Five, as the king of a country, he can make decisions on anything with an order, but he himself is not a person who worships power, if there are capable people who can assist him, it is naturally excellent to give him advice.
"This is the core of the question raised by the emperor's concubines, who think that ordinary families need to work, but young children can not provide much help in agricultural work, if all children are allowed to receive free education schools before the specified age, and provide them with free enrollment places, the cost of which is borne by the state, so that useful talents can be found among them."
Guan Tongshu further put forward his own idea, and even proposed the idea of going to school for free, Qin Zhao was a little surprised at this time.
"The queen's idea is very happy, but this traditional tradition has long become stubborn in the hearts of the people, and if they are forced to send their children to school, I am afraid that the result will be counterproductive."
Qin Zhao raised his worries, he found that Guan Tongshu was indeed very thoughtful, many questions seemed incredible, but it seemed feasible to say them in Guan Tongshu's mouth.
The queen will always put forward her own unique opinions, and the problems found do not stop there, but provide solutions, Qin Zhao is very moved in his heart, with such a queen, it is much more practical than the three thousand beauties of the harem, and his Tongshu is really the smartest woman in the whole world.
It's just that the idea put forward by the queen is really good, and it can cultivate a large number of talents for the country, but it will not only encounter resistance in terms of money when it comes to implementation, but I am afraid that the most stubborn idea in the minds of the common people is the biggest problem.
