Chapter 705: Big Deals

Li Yuanji's idea was very bold, and the ministers were fascinated by it.

And then......

Minister: After a long time, you still have to start building Guangzhou Academy immediately, can the old man say MMP in his heart?

Li Yuanji: No!

Minister: Yes, the ministers will resolutely support Your Majesty's decision, and will wholeheartedly promote the reform of education, adhere to the core ideas put forward by Your Majesty, and unswervingly for a hundred years......

And then......

Li Yuanji gave an order, not to discuss it with the ministers, so no matter what the ministers had in mind, it was all in vain and useless.

"The cause of education will be separated from the Ministry of Rites and a Ministry of Education will be established, and the levels will be set up according to the six departments!" Li Yuanji put another nuclear bomb.

First there was the Ministry of Development, and then there was a Ministry of Education, which weakened the power of the Ministry of Rites, not to mention, after all, the Ministry of Rites has more aspects in its hands, and there are no less of them, but ......

MMP, what the hell is it that there is an extra Ministry of Education of the same level?

In other words, the future imperial examinations or something will all be under the control of the Ministry of Education? The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites are only auxiliary units?

The ministers were not calm in an instant.

But it was useless, Li Yuanji still gave orders, and no one dared to disobey the emperor's orders, especially this kind of resolution that was beneficial to the whole country.

Although the southerners have little say in the imperial court, His Majesty is determined to develop the south, and it seems that it is nothing now, but once the south rises, it will be a never-ending situation at that time.

……

On both sides, there has been no movement since Li Chengguang sent the fold, but Li Chengguang is not in a hurry.

Guangzhou Academy is not said to be built, the first task at the moment is to build the basic society first.

What's the use of building a Guangzhou academy when there aren't enough students to study in?

"How audacious! Before that, Lone didn't even dare to imagine......" Li Chengguang sighed in shock, holding the statistical table in his hand tightly.

How can you investigate a case or something, and how can you raid your home quickly? The official statistics can only be a guaranteed number, and the real numbers add up, and the cliff is the most terrifying.

And Li Daozong also kept sighing, even if he counted it out that it would be at least more than 500,000 yuan before, but through the raid, until now, he was still shocked by the number in front of him.

760,000 guan, in this Annan's house raiding frenzy, just the money alone, 760,000 guan was copied, not counting those real estate, if all of them are added up, there is still more than one million guan.

And this, only about eighty percent of the statistics, the remaining two percent have not had time to count, according to this situation, whether it can break through one million is not a problem, but nine hundred thousand is no problem.

What should I do if I copied out so much money?

It's a huge question, should it be publicized? If it is not announced, where will the money be spent?

Now that the situation in Annan has gradually stabilized, Li Chengguang's policy has been initially successful, but it is only stable, these people have more prestige, but their ability is slightly insufficient, they can only maintain the status quo, and many things still need to be taught by the officials who have been transferred.

But even so, Li Chengguang is already very satisfied, such a large-scale cleaning always takes time to complete, doesn't it?

And there was no big reaction from the people, because at the same time, Li Chengguang comprehensively announced a series of policies of the imperial court.

At the beginning of the year, the levy was no longer levied, and the minimum standard for government workers per day had risen to four yuan, anyway, a series of policies that were beneficial to the people were all announced.

Seeing that he was deducted so much by the people who had been arrested by the emperors of the earth, it would be stupid if these people still helped them.

Everyone is waiting for the prince's next move, don't ask them why they know, because the prince's decree is very clear that the prince is studying how to make the people's lives better.

"Your Highness, what should I do with this money?" Ma Zhou asked.

"Surrender to the imperial court?" Li Chengguang said subconsciously, but then shook his head violently and continued: "It's not suitable, after all, it's Annan's people's fat and people's ointment, and it's not appropriate for all of them to be taken away by the imperial court." ”

Now the whole of Annan knows that the prince has collected a lot of money, but no one knows how much it is, and only those who investigate the case know the total amount.

But everyone knows that it's a lot of money.

If Li Chengguang takes all the money, it is possible that he will have a bad reputation among the people, saying that he wants to make the people live a better life, but now it is better to take the money away?

"Build roads!" Li Chengguang thought about it, thinking that there was no cement road in the entire Annan, and there was nothing on weekdays, but it was rainy in Annan, and when it was rainy, there was no way to go out, and now he had money in his hands, and the cost of building the road was not high, and his father often said that if he wanted to get rich, it affected Li Chengguang to build the road first, so he decided to build the road first. "Use this money to build cement roads that connect various states and counties."

Thirty-two states and counties theoretically need thirty-two cement roads, but in practice it is uncertain how many are needed, because the distribution of these states and counties is not in a straight line, four counties with a square layout, how to repair? Going around in circles?

That's for sure, but two point-to-point counties have to make a detour through the other county, which adds a lot of trouble.

Therefore, the best solution is to go around in a circle first, so that each county can reach the two surrounding counties in the shortest distance, and then put a cross in the middle so that each county can choose the nearest distance.

Although it costs a lot of money, with Li Chengguang's understanding and the improvement of road construction technology, according to the Datang model, it will not be possible to use up 100,000 yuan to complete these roads.

"Building roads is for sure!" Ma Zhou nodded, and stopped talking.

Li Chengguang saw Ma Zhou's expression in his eyes, as his teacher, Li Chengguang's natural way Ma Zhou was reminding himself of something.

But for the sake of better teaching, he won't say so much, and will only tell himself in this way, Sao Nian, what did you miss?

Then, the hard-pressed Li Chengguang could only start thinking about it, thinking about what he was missing?

Then, Li Chengguang, who had been trained by Ma Zhou, instantly thought of the answer, so his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Railway!" ”

Ma Zhou nodded with a smile, as if to say it again, the children can be taught.

"If you want to build roads first, cement roads alone are far from enough, railways are the real strategic power, not only in the economic aspect, but also in the military aspect. At present, the imperial court is building a railway from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou, although we don't know when it will be connected, but we prepare in advance, first build the railway from Annan to Guangzhou, so that once the middle line of the north-south railway is completed and opened to traffic, it can go directly to Annam. Li Chengguang said excitedly, he caught the point.

Shipping is good, but shipping has a problem, the speed is too slow, although it is more economical and the carrying capacity is also larger.

However, shipping cannot directly connect Annan with Chang'an, but the railway can, and once this railway is completed, the time from Chang'an to Annam will be directly reduced by more than half.

This is important, both for the economy and for the military.

Think about it, under normal circumstances, if a war breaks out in Annan, it needs to spread the situation to Chang'an first, and then the imperial court is transferring troops and then supporting.

It takes time to transfer troops, and it also has to go from near to far, but the nearest place will not come to support, they want to prevent collapse and the battlefield is expanded, so what they do is to be on alert and ready to defend at any time, and it is the army behind them that is transferred, and only when the army behind them passes, they may go to the front.

Then there are the elites in other regions, and they follow the normal process, and when the main elite arrives on the battlefield, it is often two months to three months later.

No way, this is the biggest problem of ancient communications, backward transportation, in the early days, in the Three Kingdoms, around a city for half a year has not happened.

In addition, there are mobile units that are ready to fight at any time, and according to the current situation, it will take about a month and a half after the outbreak of fighting for mobile units to come to the battlefield.

But now, when the railway is opened, within a month, the imperial court will be able to send the main elite to the front line one after another.

What does this mean?

The soldiers are fast, do you need to talk about this?

"Your Highness, the letter from the imperial court has arrived!"

Li Chengguang took the letter and opened it directly.

"Ma Xiang, this is a letter from Your Majesty to you!"

Ma Zhou was stunned, he didn't expect to have his own, and he gave it alone.

So, Ma Zhou also took the letter and read it.

There was not much content on the letterhead, and the content mentioned was what they just said, but Li Yuanji was more patient, but told Ma Zhou that he knew about it, and if Li Chengguang didn't take the initiative to mention these things when they left, then he would remind him.

Or does the father want to exercise his son's ability to deal with things, what can Ma Zhou say? Why don't I have a good father? But it seems good to have an emperor who appreciates himself......

"Two teachers, my father agreed to the application of Guangzhou Academy, and his handwriting is not small......" After reading the letter, Li Chengguang could not hide his excitement and handed the letter directly to the two teachers.

This letter obviously says more than the one given to Ma Zhou, and it can be summed up in a few points, first, 20% of the stolen money collected will be handed over to the state treasury, and the rest will be left in Annan for development needs, and the specific use is up to the prince. Second, the Guangzhou Academy can start to plan and build, and the subjects that will be involved in the new Guangzhou Academy are also listed in detail, and they are directly told that the six subjects, the students, teachers, administrative staff, etc., who will go to Guangzhou, the total number of people is about 7,000.

If we take into account that the entire south is about to join the big family of the imperial examination, the scale of Guangzhou Academy needs to be built according to the standard of at least 10,000 people, and it is also necessary to build supporting faculty housing.

"That's a lot of money!" Ma Zhou and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, and saw each other's shock.

They thought they were going to start all over again, but they didn't expect Li Yuanji to move a mountain directly, and the Guangzhou Academy, which has no shadow, has become one of the five major academies.
