Anger that is not shown is the most angry thing.

Then, all the ministers coaxed.

Who dares not to be intimidated at this time? Who would dare to go up and say a word of rebuttal? Or nod stupidly and say, Your Majesty, give the order quickly, I don't want those places for a long time.

No one is a fool, and no one can't see the benefits of this performance to Datang, but they just can't bear it, and they can't bear their own interests.

Although this interest may not have anything to do with them, when magnified, it has a relationship with everyone they are present, which is important, so it is not impossible for them to agree.

But in Li Yuanji's anger, they suddenly remembered that the one on the dragon chair was not a good stubble.

Although he doesn't care so much on weekdays, at critical moments, he doesn't mind letting everyone experience the majesty of an emperor.

So, the ministers began to stand up, although reluctantly, but at this time they had to stand up and echo the emperor's wishes.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the south is definitely going to develop, and it is certain that the academy will be established in Guangzhou, after all, there is no academy directly under the imperial court in the huge south, which is not quite like words. But judging from the current situation, the minister feels that this matter should be considered in the long run.

First of all, there are not enough excellent students in the south to enter the academy to study, and the imperial court cannot establish the academy for the sake of establishing the academy, once the academy is built, it must have the meaning of its existence, otherwise it can only be a waste of the imperial court's funds, and at the same time it delays hundreds of teachers, and the students trained are not capable enough, but they have to occupy the quota of the imperial examination, no matter from which aspect, this seems to be a lose-lose decision.

Secondly, the education system in the south is not perfect, south of Yizhou, it seems that the total number of academies is only 100, and the student base is too small to support such a large card.

Therefore, the minister suggested that the matter of Guangzhou Academy could be put on the agenda, but when it will be implemented needs to be decided according to the specific situation.

At present, the most important thing is not to immediately build the Guangzhou Academy, but to carry out the basic construction of the college first, increase the proportion of the reading population, and improve the comprehensive quality of the reading population, so that there will be enough suitable talents to enter the academy. An official of a low grade said that Li Yuanji of which department did not remember, in Li Yuanji's eyes, an official below the fourth grade was no different from a salted fish.

"Yes, that's it!" Other ministers also stood up and agreed, since it can't be stopped, let's delay it for a while, and the interests of the north can be protected for as long as they can.

"The minister also approves!" Fang Xuanling nodded and stood up to second.

A cabinet minister, the highest-ranking of all ministers, stood up to seconded the proposal of a five-rank official, and it was so directly approved, which had never happened before.

But today, it's happening, and what does that mean?

Of course, it means that the ability of this five-grade official has been recognized by the big guy, which means that his future career will be much better, if he is lucky, he may be able to be promoted by the big man, and if he is unlucky, he will also have great prospects for development in his own department.

"Huh?" Li Yuanji looked at Fang Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, it is better to lack than to abuse, people with insufficient ability, standing in this position, can only drag everyone down in the end." Fang Xuanling sighed, he was also a member of the army that did not support the opening of Guangzhou Academy, but now, he could only compromise.

However, before, Fang Xuanling did not express his opinion and did not refuse directly, but he expressed his opinion with silence.

"The education foundation in the south is too poor, many children don't know how to read, and even many counties don't even have a academy, and the people don't seem to be keen on letting their children go to school, of course, this has something to do with the local economic situation, and everyone doesn't have the money to go to school.

Guangzhou Academy is the highest-level university in the Tang Dynasty, and if the foundation is not solid, how can it be built into a high-rise building? The imperial court should first establish a academy in each county, recruit local students, spend one to two years to teach them literacy, and then spend two to three years to teach them elementary courses, and establish an intermediate academy in each state, and the students who have graduated from these county academies can enter the intermediate academy through examinations, and after five years of study, they can enter the Guangzhou academy through examinations, and each province can also establish its own institutions of higher learning, so that students can have more choices, so step by step, the foundation can be more solid, and the Guangzhou academy at that time, will play her due role, instead of wasting the funds of the imperial court. Fang Xuanling said lightly his thoughts, which was actually a supplement to the previous proposal.

But no matter what, the meaning of Fang Xuanling's words is still that, drag, which coincides with other ministers.

Li Yuanji could naturally understand what they meant, but the problem was that he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Of course, he can forcefully slap down these proposals, but can a resolution that is not convincing really bring good results in the end?

Education is not reform, education requires long-term efforts, not the kind of one-shot transaction of reform, and it will follow this line of thinking after it is completed, so in this regard, Li Yuanji has no way to make that decision.

That would not only be of no benefit to the imperial court, but would also affect the fate of the students.

Literally, the construction of the Guangzhou Academy will be postponed until ten years later, and according to the actual situation, the construction of the Guangzhou Academy will not begin until at least five years later.

Fang Xuanling's words made Li Yuanji fall into a new contemplation.

The current imperial court gave him the feeling that in the near future, the entire Tang Dynasty would be divided into two factions, the north and the south, so as to carry out an all-round confrontation.

The establishment of New China can be seen as the result of confrontation, and there are many examples in history, such as Japan, whose own solution to internal confrontation is to wage war with the outside world and suppress internal confrontation through war.

And it is not uncommon to solve problems through war, and this kind of case abounds, and it is the most used case.

Can a college cause such a big strife?

Absolutely.

When the Guangzhou Academy was established five years later, the students he recruited would be mainly from the south, so these people would inevitably be divided into the ranks of the southern faction, even if some people did not want to, but under the huge pressure of the northern faction, they could only be forced to enter, so as to join the collective of the confrontation between the north and the south.

But how can this problem be solved?

In the main hall, the falling needles could be heard, and Li Yuanji was thinking.

This thinking is an hour of time, within an hour, no one spoke, the ministers were looking at Li Yuanji who was meditating on the dragon chair as if they were sitting on pins and needles, they didn't dare to speak, they didn't dare to do anything, they could only stand here and wait silently.

And Li Yuanji is also caught in his own problems, and he wants to find a solution.

There must be a way to do this, Li Yuanji is very sure, and he can also be sure that this method can be found in later generations, he is thinking, thinking back over and over again the education system and education model of later generations.

There are similar confrontations in later generations, but it is not obvious, and no one is idle and bored to do this, the flow of a large number of people, so that the regionality is not so important, you have me, I have you, after a long time, this boring confrontation naturally loses the space for survival.

You've got me! I've got you!

'Do you want to allocate a fixed number of places?' Let every college have students from all over the country? Li Yuanji frowned tightly, and then shook his head.

This method is not reliable, it is just a waste of money and money, if you can study at close range, why go to a farther place to learn the same knowledge?

It's a dreadnought waste that doesn't serve as intended.

Allocate places? Do you have me? I have you?

Li Yuanji was thinking hard, he hoped to find a solution, and in the dark, he could feel that the solution to the problem was in these twelve words, but for a while, he couldn't find a new idea.

While building the Guangzhou Academy, it is necessary to ensure that you have me, I have you, and through reasonable guidance, more people can ignore the problem of geography, so that they can work together and share the same hatred.

The education system of later generations also had various problems.

The first in the list is the uneven distribution of resources, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction in various places.

After all, in a huge country, the situation is different from place to place, and it is understandable that resources are unevenly distributed, but the problem in later generations is that in some places, middle school students with more resources can go to the key points, while in some places the excellent students with fewer resources may not be able to go to the key points.

If the resources are evenly balanced, students in areas with few resources can squeeze students out of school in areas with policy protection.

Li Yuanji doesn't want to learn this model, but the appropriate policy of giving points is understandable, but it must not be too tilted.

The question is back, the Guangzhou Academy is definitely going to be established, but the question is, how to solve the situation of possible north-south confrontation?

This is a key point, in peacetime, internal confrontation can exist, but it can only be benign confrontation, like this kind of confrontation, it is undoubtedly consuming Datang's resources and consuming Datang's vitality.

It may not be a problem for a while, but after a long time, it accumulates to the point where it can explode, then it is a huge problem.

And the most serious consequence is that when the imperial court decays one day, the south will establish an independent state, and the whole of China will be divided into two, or even more, which is not what Li Yuanji wants.

Li Yuanji remembered a certain sad province, where their educational power used to be at the forefront, and the awesome characters grabbed a lot of them, but then they ......

Suddenly, Li Yuanji's eyes lit up, there is!
