Chapter XXVII: Free Education

His Majesty Li Er's face changed when he heard this, he still knew about the matter of Liuli, and in the past month or so, everyone in the Tang Dynasty was talking about it, and even the newspapers had carried out a large report, so that the people should not wantonly spend a high price to buy.

But things are too delicate, and some things are too valuable to describe as valuable.

He secretly investigated inside, knowing that the matter was so-called by the Prince's Mansion, and he united the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian to sell the whole Tang Dynasty, but it was all done secretly, and the people invited were all local businessmen.

His Majesty Li Er exhaled slightly and said, "How much?" ”

"When it's over, Erchen estimates that there should be about forty or fifty million guan!" Li Shen said lightly.

"Do you know the consequences of what you do? Forty or fifty million, can the entire Datang still have money to circulate in the world? The people have no money in their hands, do you know what the consequences are? ”

Li Shen nodded slightly, and said, "That's why I told you that Erchen is also preparing to reform the coins of the Tang Dynasty, and this money will also be used on the people." ”

Of course, Li Shen knows how much money he receives, and how much he has to put back, although Wu Meiniang said that it was about 40 million yuan, but for Wu Meiniang's understanding, Li Shen knew that what she said had always been the lowest guarantee, and now her income has reached 20 million yuan.

"I don't get involved in this matter, you watch and deal with it yourself, and if something happens, you can do it yourself."

"It needs the cooperation of the imperial court."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Li Shen, sneered, and said, "Do you think I want to pay for the mistakes you made?" ”

"This matter is also for the good of Datang."

"Good for Datang? For the good of Datang, you have made the people have no money to use? ”

Li Shen looked at His Majesty Li Er a little speechlessly, as if he was with him, even if he had a good discussion with him, there would always be one party who would not be able to get along with him, and it seemed that he and he could only get along like this.

Li Shen smiled, nodded a little helplessly, and said: "Since the imperial court is unwilling to cooperate in this matter, don't blame the emperor for controlling the entire economic lifeline of the Tang Dynasty at that time." Then he stood up and said: "Erchen still has something to deal with, I hope to be able to wait for my father's reply soon, in a few days, Erchen will select thousands of people from the Tang Praetorian Guard to enter the new army for training." The retainers retired. ”

Looking at the back of Li Shen turning away, His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, and sighed in a low voice, he didn't know what was going on, every time he saw him and talked to him, he always couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, could he really not look down on him?

Or does he really want to depose him as a prince? Re-establish one?

His Majesty Li Er shook his head, this is impossible, how can he still have this kind of thought? said coldly: "Xuanfang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji and others." ”

I opened the file and began to think about it slowly.

He was very moved by Li Shen's proposal, but he didn't quite understand why he did it.

The battle situation in Tibet, Cheng Biting Jin truthfully arranged for someone to report to him in private, and the shock army of Tubo was forced to retreat to the city without the slightest power to fight back, and had no choice but to surrender.

"If he is really willing to equip the Xuanjia Army with his kind of weapon, I will agree to his request, as long as I am in power, he will not embarrass me everywhere, and I will not embarrass you." His Majesty Li Er muttered in a low voice.

When I returned to the Prince's Mansion, I saw Wu Meiniang drinking tea leisurely in the main hall.

Seeing Li Shen walk in, he put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile, "How was the talk?" ”

"It should be okay! He had to agree to this kind of thing, but he didn't agree to it. Li Shen replied with a smile.

"By the way, there is one more thing that I forgot to discuss with you until now, the students over there have studied about the same, after all, there are so many people, and their grades are good and bad, and the concubine wants to transfer a large part of them and let them return to their own hometown to prepare for the school, what do you think?"

Li Shen frowned and said, "Start now?" I guess something is not appropriate, and I guess many people don't want to? ”

I have been studying hard for more than ten years, for what, for what is it, for not to be an official, to be able to glorify my ancestors.

It's still a bit early to let them teach and educate people, and it's still not okay if they don't experience brainwashing education.

Wu Meiniang nodded slightly, and said: "The concubine body originally had such an idea, but after thinking about it, I feel that it is better to let them go back to teach as soon as possible, and carry out free compulsory teaching for all, we are now too short of talents in all aspects, and those with excellent grades can be allowed to come to the academy in Chang'an City to study first, anyway, it will take a long time to build the academy."

When the construction of the college is completed, almost all the students of Datang will be able to pursue further studies in the college. ”

"Free compulsory teaching for all? Can we afford this burden now? ”

"Yes! The construction of colleges in various places, the concubine body has thought about it, and let the local county government recruit the people to build, the cost should not be much, it is estimated that there should be about the same as 500 yuan, after all, there are relatively few people in Datang now, and one college in each county should be able to let the local children go in to study. ”

Li Shen nodded slightly, a classroom is almost ten, five hundred is fifty classrooms, should be enough to cope with the children of a county, looked at Wu Meiniang with a smile, and said: "This is just the construction of the academy, accommodation, food, books, how can you think that the people today can afford it, even we ourselves may not be able to afford it, and this can't let the boys study, the girls still stay at home!" Women are much more careful than men in handling many things. ”

"This concubine has already thought about this, and there are many wealthy families in various places, so they can contribute some money to build the college, and when the time comes, in front of the main entrance of the college, erect a merit monument for them, and let the descendants admire it.

The concubine body has roughly calculated, and it should be levied in each county...... This is the average amount of money, about 2,000 yuan, the children's meals are provided by the people themselves, we subsidize their meat food, except for 500 yuan plus all the sundries costs, it should be able to leave 1,000 yuan, and there should be no problem in maintaining it for a year. ”
