The establishment of an independent academy outside the city can not only train students who will take the examination, but also cultivate talents in other fields such as commerce, medicine, and soldiers.

This is the unanimous opinion of the prince and Li Ling after discussion, it represents the common voice of the two people, they want to give the children of the poor family in the world one more way out.

The first time the crown prince proposed his political views to the imperial court, the emperor naturally attached great importance to it, and he took it to the court meeting for discussion as soon as he got the plan made by Li Ling.

"Let's take a look at this plan, this is proposed by the prince, whether it is feasible or not, I hope everyone will express their opinions." The Emperor said with a smile.

He had also read the plan, and he was struck by the bright prospects depicted in the plan as soon as he got it.

If such an academy is recognized by the imperial court and passed on, after a few years, the Ming Dynasty will be full of talents. When the time comes, the state will benefit greatly.

"Emperor, Weichen does not approve of the prince's suggestion, according to the ancestral system, only those who stand out in the imperial examination can be awarded official positions, how can it be possible to award official positions to a graduate of an academy casually!"

"Your Majesty, the imperial examination is the foundation of this dynasty, and the chaos of the imperial examination will be in danger in the world, the emperor, although the prince's plan only requires that outstanding graduates be awarded some minor officials who are not as good as the stream, but the embankment of thousands of miles, the collapse of the anthill, this is the impact on the imperial examination system, and this opening must not be opened!"

"Your Majesty, the prince is still young, so he still has to get a good education, and the prince's major affairs in the court will not be the prince's work!"

The emperor did not expect that the ministers would unanimously oppose the prince's proposal.

However, the emperor is a shrewd person after all, and he understands the power of the relationship after a little thought.

Since the implementation of the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty, after nearly 1,000 years of development, the imperial examination system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if you want to become an official, you must achieve excellent results in the imperial examination.

Officials are all selected from among the jinshi and juren, and if there is a sudden shortcut to becoming an official, the sense of superiority of the officials will be gone.

"Your Majesty, it is naturally a good thing to open these academies, at least he can open up the wisdom of the people, so that more people have the opportunity to study, even if he fails in the scientific examination in the future, he will have a plan, but the matter of awarding students official positions will be exempted!"

After a slight exchange of opinions among the cabinet members, Liu Ji told the emperor the final result.

This is also the opinion of all ministers.

"Well, since you all agree with you, and I agree with you, the academy can be opened, but the imperial court will not allocate funds to support it, let alone grant any official positions to the students of the academy!" The emperor finally made a final understanding of this matter, and the imperial court adopted a neutral attitude towards the new academy and would never give any support to the academy.

The emperor secretly screamed in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately he did not expose that Li Ling also participated in this plan, otherwise, I am afraid that these ministers will sprinkle the anger in their hearts on Li Tanhua.

They can't help the crown prince, and they can't clean up a new Hanlin?

The important minister shook his head and sighed, it seems that the first political affairs that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did with a positive attitude are about to come to naught.

Without the support of the imperial court, it would be more difficult for the prince to establish an academy than to ascend to the sky.

The plan he handed over was rejected in this way, and the prince went to the emperor in a hurry.

It's just that the emperor, who has always been generous and benevolent to the crown prince, has an unusually firm attitude this time.

"Zhao'er, the attitude of the ministers is very resolute, and I am helpless, but things are not completely impossible, if you really want to build such an academy, you can discuss it with Li Ling, with the financial resources of Dachang Qianzhuang, it is easy to think that it is necessary to build an academy!"

The emperor's meaning was very clear, the imperial court would not pay for the construction of the academy, but since the two proposers were the owners of Dachang Qianzhuang, why not pay out of their own pockets!

The prince's eyes lit up, and he knew what he had to do.

The news of Dachang Qianzhuang's decision to build a academy outside the city was let out on the same day.

Li Ling personally went to the farmland to measure the land for planning, and recruited laborers from all tenants outside the city, with one tael of silver per month.

The local tenants were moved by the news, and now was the time for the farms, even if they went to the city to find a day job for a salary of up to five cents a month.

If they can find a well-paid errand at home, why don't they crowd around!

While building the academy, Li Ling also began to search for teachers.

All scholars with meritorious fame can come here to apply: Xiucai is five taels of silver per month, Juren is ten taels of silver per month, and Jinshi who is willing to work part-time is fifty taels of silver per month.

If the professors of Guozijian are willing to make cameos in the academy, they can get a subsidy of one or two silver each time.

Stimulated by the high salary, before the college started, Dachang Qianzhuang attracted a group of down-and-out movers, and even many Jinshi were also moved.

Although the prince and Li Ling both run the school with the attitude of being a national reserve, Dachang Qianzhuang still adheres to the method of admitting students rather than indiscriminate.

Only 100 students are admitted to each subject, and as long as the admitted people are well paid, not only do they not have to worry about room and board, but they also have a monthly subsidy of one or two silver.

Many people don't believe that the truth is true, you must know that a small shepherd boy like Da Niu, the landlord's family only gives a penny of silver every month, and some even only give a few dozen yuan.

Originally, many families planned to send their children to large families to become domestic helpers, but after hearing the news, they collectively changed their minds.

If you send your own flesh and blood to be a slave, you won't get so much money every month.

The opportunity is right in front of you, so why not let your child give it a try?

When it was time to register, not only did the men from the neighborhood who were between the ages of eight and fifteen arrive, but even some girls dressed up as boys to take the exam.

"Young Master, go over and take a look. There was a girl who pretended to be a boy to sign up and was found out, so she made a lot of noise in the front yard! ”。

The registration work was carried out in the front yard of Li Ling Manor, and he had just made a tour and arrived in the backyard before there was news, so Ma Qiang ran over and reported an unexpected incident to him.

"It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before, just expel her, do you still need to come and ask for instructions?" Li Ling said impatiently.

With the prince in charge, is there anyone who wants to make trouble?

"Young master, this woman not only wants to enter the academy by herself, but also wants his maid to study in the academy, her identity is special, you better go and see for yourself!" Ma Qiang said with a bitter face, there are really people who dare to mess around in front of the prince.

"My father is the Grand Governor, if you don't allow this girl and the maid to enter the academy to learn the art of war, be careful of your heads!"

When Li Ling arrived at the front yard, he found a teenage girl slapping the table and angry at the bookkeeper who was in charge of the records.

Another lady of the governor's daughter! (To be continued.) )
