Everyone thought that Sun Xiangfu would have a tirade next, and when it was used to persuade everyone, Sun Xiangfu only briefly said two questions, which made most people shut up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are two reasons why I want to build the Agricultural College in Shanyang, if you can come up with a solution, in fact, it doesn't matter where you build it.

Let's talk about the first point first, the demand for farming technology in the north will be greater in the future, the capital of Anbei, and the boundary of the Xue Yantuo Khanate that may actually be under the governance of the Tang Dynasty in the future, the entire land combined, is larger than the Central Plains, but most of the people do not know how to farm, and more vigorous agricultural technology teaching and dissemination are needed. ”

In this kind of general direction of governance, the courtiers have already achieved unity in their hearts, not to mention any ethnic integration, which is difficult to achieve in a short period of time.

In fact, the first thing to do is to let the nomads give up nomadism and turn to farming, which will gradually turn the northern grasslands into a situation where there are cities for hundreds of miles and fertile land everywhere.

Therefore, for what Sun Xiangfu said, even the Guanlong Family Group, which wants to fight for interests, has nothing to say.

After everyone has a certain understanding of the facts, Sun Xiangfu's next question is more realistic, and he said, "The second point, which is also a very critical point, is that it is the Wang family, Shanyang, and Dingxiang who paid for the construction of the college, and nearly half of the fields and industries around Dingxiang are owned by the Wang family.

If the ministers want to build an agricultural college in Chang'an or other places in Guanzhong, in fact, you can find someone to pay for the construction of the college! We have more than 10 million farmers in Datang, and the Agricultural College is not the only one that can be opened! In order to meet the agricultural technology needs of so many peasants, it is not impossible to open eight out of ten rooms. The Ministry of Agriculture, and the children of the peasant sect that I teach, do not mind teaching farmers about agriculture anywhere. ”

Directly talking about the real problem, it suddenly made these people temporarily want to stop Sun Xiangfu from opening the academy to Shanyang, and it was difficult to open their mouths, and at this time, in the court, another group of middle-level officials began to speak, that is, officials with five surnames and seven families, they have now replaced most of the land to the north, similar to the agricultural college, the medical school, which can represent the center of gravity of the country, is opened in the north, which is naturally more beneficial to them.

Moreover, the rapid rise of the Guanlong family in the past two years has faintly been able to threaten the status of their five surnames and seven families, take Wei's and Yang's as an example, in this round of great development in Weinan, the profits are huge, and the strength of the two families is not weaker than any of the five surnames and seven families, historically, the eldest grandson Wuji is to win over the Guanlong family group, only to gain the upper hand in the struggle with the five surnames and seven families, in fact, the empress was able to defeat the five surnames and seven families, and it also has a lot to do with the eldest grandson Wuji and the five surnames and seven families fighting a lose-lose situation. At least when she makes a move, she doesn't have to worry about making too big a move like Li Shimin, and there will be no one available in the court.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Sun Dudu's proposal, the fields that need to be developed in the north at the moment have reached more than 10 million acres, and in the future, it is not impossible to break through 100 million trillions, and it is indeed more appropriate for the Agricultural College to be established in the north. Although Lao Chen is not the patriarch of the Wang clan and cannot influence the decisions of the clan, he also knows that it is impossible for the clan to spend such a large amount of money to build an agricultural college in Chang'an. ”

"Ministers seconded the ······"

As soon as Wang Gui jumped out to speak, many courtiers immediately jumped out to support, and even Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, and others also nodded in agreement, because this is the actual situation.

Politics is like this, Sun Xiangfu, who was inseparable from the five surnames and seven families two years ago, has now become a baby bump in their eyes, not to mention currying favor, at least they dare not offend, after all, they have now become a new northern interest group, and Sun Xiangfu is the chief official of the northern land, and his interests are consistent with them.

As soon as Wang Gui's words came out, he immediately found a new point, and said, "Your Majesty, I, Hongnong Yang, want to fund the construction of an engineering college for the imperial court, please ask Your Majesty's permission." ”

As soon as he said this, Li Shimin on the dragon chair suddenly felt happy, as the person with the strongest overall view of this era, how could he not see that the Guanlong Family Group, and the five surnames and seven families who moved out, should now be said to be the Northland Family Group, and there is already a situation of fighting!

The battle is good!

When they fight, the imperial court can benefit from it, isn't this about to buy two academies for nothing?

Just when Li Shimin wanted to open his mouth for permission, someone jumped out to speak again.

"Your Majesty, I, Huainan Zhu, want to fund the construction of a business school for the imperial court, but the location will be in Yangzhou, please ask Your Majesty for approval."

It was Zhu Zhaorui of the Ministry of Commerce who spoke, Du Zhenglun took a large group of people from the Ministry of Commerce to Shannan Province to engage in the development of state-owned enterprises, the Ministry of Commerce, that is, he was in charge of the work in Chang'an, seeing that agriculture, industry, and the two major groups have their own colleges, and they can not lag behind.

Of course, the reason why he spoke like this, there is another reason, he himself is from the Huainan Zhu family, the Zhu family is the head of the four major families in Yangzhou, Yangzhou is not only developed commercially, but also the Tang Dynasty people for business is the most unprejudiced city, the people there, are very willing to do business, has already formed a unique atmosphere of openness from other places, the most has the basic conditions for the establishment of a business school, if he Zhu family can run the business school, then, further development and growth, just around the corner.

"I know all the loyalty, Fang Qing thinks, how should this matter be handled?"

Li Shimin asked this, just because he thought it was okay, but for the government affairs, he tried not to make decisions directly, so as to avoid confrontation between him and the courtiers, which is some of the experiences that Li Shimin summed up after becoming emperor in the past few years.

Fang Xuanling naturally understood Li Shimin's meaning, and went out of the class to play, "The minister thinks it's okay." ”

The emperor has no opinion, and the prime minister agrees, even if this matter is decided.

Then, Li Shimin said, "Since this is the case, then let's discuss the configuration of these three colleges and the management after they are completed." ”

It is not difficult to build, it is difficult to manage, Li Shimin can't let these academies become the existence of the family to openly cultivate his own forces, so he needs to formulate some rules for these academies at the beginning of the establishment that can be convenient for him to control, which has to be done slowly one by one, anyway, the academy is not built at once.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggests that, just like Shanyang Medical College, these agricultural colleges, engineering colleges, and business schools that will be completed in the future be incorporated into the education system of the imperial court."

"Like medical school?"

Kong Yingda, who originally planned to watch the play with peace of mind, suddenly exploded after listening to Sun Xiangfu's words.

Previously, Sun Simiao, the mountain chief of Shanyang Medical College, was designated as a third-grade medical institution, that is because Sun Simiao cured the plague, and his personal merits were very high, although Kong Yingda felt that this matter was inappropriate, but in the end he endured it, and now you have to incorporate the College of Agriculture, the College of Engineering, and the Business School into the education system, which is equivalent to the medical school, doesn't that mean that in the future, in terms of education in Datang, there will be three more people who are equivalent to their own grade?

Once these education systems are recognized at the national level, their Confucian status will be squeezed more and more, and the court is now dominated by martial artists, and it is conceivable what kind of situation will arise in the future.

Kong Yingda is different from those families who only care about their own interests, he shoulders the responsibility of carrying forward Confucianism, and he naturally has to speak out about this kind of thing that touches the core interests of Confucianism.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is inappropriate, the teaching of farmers, craftsmen, and merchants can not be listed with scholars, this world, after all, is to be managed by scholars, and must be prioritized, and the minister thinks that agriculture, industry, and business schools can only be defined as private colleges, just like the family studies in various places, the court can give some appropriate support, but there is no need to include it in the education system of the dynasty."

Not to mention, Kong Yingda's words, there are also many people who agree with it, some are nerds who have learned Confucianism to the bones, and some don't want to see the Wang, Yang, Zhu and other families control these three disciplines.

All of a sudden, all kinds of opposition remarks also came out in the court, and some said that the imperial court, which had expanded the education system so much, had no way to support it. In addition, the people who have come out of these three disciplines are only suitable for assisting in doing things, and are not suitable for administrative management, and they should not be generalized with scholars, and they should maintain the superiority of scholars, so that they can have enough majesty in the management of agriculture and industry in the future.

Some people who agree with it say that the teaching of agriculture, industry, and commerce does not need the manpower of the imperial court at all, because the imperial court now except for those interns, the real official system, in addition to the scholars, is the military, and the manpower to support the education system of these three disciplines will be selected from the industry, which will not affect the operation of the imperial court at all.

Moreover, the actual situation now is that after the strengthening of these three aspects, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty began to flourish, and the imperial court should pay enough attention to it, and standardize it, form a system, and incorporate it into supervision.

Of course, no one in these two factions can convince anyone, and after they argued, Li Shimin looked at Sun Xiangfu again, this question was thrown by him, and it was his responsibility to get everyone to agree.

Why do you say 'how do you get people to agree'?

Because Li Shimin knows that Datang now has such a demand, and after these academies are built, if the imperial court is not allowed to take care of them, won't it become a base for sending talents to the family in vain?

He knew that Sun Xiangfu must understand this, so while giving Sun Xiangfu a look in his eyes, he also cast his eyes on Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and others, as an emperor, from the family to the family, to the class and class, it is really difficult to grasp the balance in all aspects, often knowing what should be done and what must be done, he also has to use some means to advance tactfully in order to achieve the goal.

For example, the military academy mentioned by Sun Xiangfu and Li Jing and others before, before he grasped the balance of it, Li Shimin has not dared to actually operate, and the military is controlled by the generals from generation to generation, just like the family masters politics, it is not the blessing of the state, but if only the common people are allowed to learn military experience, this is tantamount to digging the back road of these generals, these generals are all human spirits, who would want to?

Rather than letting the imperial court spend money to train future generations for these generals, it is better to let them teach them at home first, and when he thinks of a way to break the situation, it will not be too late to implement it.
