"Shengshang, Weichen thinks that the selection system of schools should be relaxed and more schools should be opened," Sima Guang responded.

The original education system of the four universities, the university, the middle school, the primary school, the five years old, the twenty-year-old, almost the layers of screening, and finally able to be admitted to the university, the admission to the four universities, less than one percent, many students eventually still rely on the family, rely on the clan, in order to have a bright future, ordinary people have no future, because they themselves are all agricultural workers, children can not get in, can only come out to do child labor, low wages, child labor is not enough to eat, too many children are naturally not easy to settle,

If more schools are opened and all children are arranged by the schools, it will not only reduce the pressure on the families of the people, but also eliminate the phenomenon of infant drowning and promote population growth.

However, the current education is all free education, in addition to providing students with accommodation, food, instructors, and all aspects of teaching hardware, but also to give students pocket money, if the selection system is relaxed, not only the four universities of the technological invention dividends can not afford to supply, even the Great Song Dynasty treasury can not afford to support,

Zhao Ji couldn't help but complain to Sima Guang in his heart: "It's easy to talk about, it's not pragmatic at all,"

"As far as I know, the technical dividends charged by the four universities are too high, which seriously restricts the development of the workshops, which leads to the workshop owners to reduce their wages and control costs. I'm afraid this will also reduce the overall quality of the graduates," Zhao Ji suppressed his anger and retorted,

"Even if you take out all the taxes from the treasury, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, the students will naturally make a living after they have learned, there is no need to consider the saint, the academy and the like have their own competitive selection mechanism, the student's knowledge is not up to standard, the saint will remove the order of Weichen, the book city order," Sima Guang said fiercely with a blowing beard,

"Do you want to increase the high-tech dividends, this is not good, as far as I know, many people in the four universities have obtained a huge amount of wealth just for one technological improvement, and these wealth, even those workshop owners can't earn it for decades, let alone those craftsmen, it was originally agreed that the price of books should be reduced, but now many new books are completely gold, Shen Kuo and Su Shi are almost rich and rival the country," Zhao Ji expressed his dissatisfaction,

In this way, by relying on the monopoly of talents to squeeze industry and commerce, then it is impossible to promote capital accumulation and promote the development of industry and commerce, and the industry and commerce that have worked hard to pull up have not been fed back to agriculture, but have been grabbed by those who have studied a lot of wealth, how can this society progress, and if this continues, the gap between the rich and the poor will only become worse.

If it weren't for the high pressure on the policy, those businessmen who control capital and production can completely make those who engage in technology unable to get a penny, Zhao Ji originally hoped to promote technological renewal, and then promote the development of industry and commerce, but now it is not the case at all, technological renewal is fast, a large number of inventions and creations continue to emerge, but it inhibits the growth of capital, and cannot transform technological inventions into productivity.

No wonder the phenomenon of infant drowning is so serious, no wonder no one goes to the development of Jinzhou, in the past, the scholars monopolized the regime, and now the scholars have to monopolize the capital, and most of the wealth has been taken away by the first class, used for luxury enjoyment, used for vassal elegance, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be extremely dissatisfied with Sima Guang,

"The four universities want to engage in all kinds of research and development, don't they need funds, do students want to live the life of craftsmen to engage in research and development for the university, a technological improvement can make the production of the workshop increase several times and dozens of times, what is wrong with the students taking money, if it is not Shen Kuo's invention, why does the Great Song Dynasty cross the sea, how can the saint develop Jinzhou, if there is no Su Shi's new style of calligraphy, how to implement the education system of the four universities, thirty Shao Ming Jing, fifty old Jinshi, and the scholars are still like this, Does the Holy Lord still expect all the people to have time to read and write, if you can get rich all over the world with all your strength, who still reads," Sima Guang retorted one by one,

This kind of rebuttal has gone beyond the original discussion of the treatment of infantile drowning, and this discussion has risen to the point of whether the businessmen and craftsmen who engage in business will get more social distribution, or those who engage in creative research with the pen and the rod of the pen will get more social distribution.

Seeing that Zhao Ji and Sima Guang were arguing, Wang Anshi, who had been watching the two arguing, said in a muddy manner: "Those who are too rigid are easy to break, those who are good and soft are undefeated, the mean is promising, and the long-term plan is the right reason,"

"In the opinion of Mr., how to deal with it," Zhao Ji suspected that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were singing red face and black face,

"Students will eventually return to the ranks of the people, to be businessmen and craftsmen, and students will eventually come from the people, this is the road of yin and yang, according to the view of Weichen, you can reduce the equity dividends of technical improvers, increase the equity dividends of the four universities, in order to support more students, you can allocate a percentage from the treasury, plus the income of the school, so that at least double the number of schools can be opened, which can be regarded as a relaxation of the school selection system, in addition, you can also allow and encourage the workshop owner to open a school, of course, The school opened by the workshop owner is not included in the education system of the four universities, but only serves as a specialized school for the workshop owner to train craftsmen, and in the study contract, the number of years of service for the workshop is increased," Wang Anshi showed the countermeasures one by one.

Zhao Ji looked at Sima Guang again, and saw that he had no objection at all, Zhao Ji knew now, this was discussed by Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "These guys have figured out my temper, and if they know that if the opposition is fierce, Lao Tzu will accept the compromise method,"

Although he knew that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang colluded together to deal with him, but Zhao Ji had no way, at this time, Zhao Ji was also particularly concerned about the election, if Cai Jing could be the prime minister, then according to the political hall system, he, the emperor, still had a place to speak in the political hall, if it was Wang Anshi or Sima Guang, then it is estimated that the prime minister would not listen to his thoughts as an emperor, and directly sent the question to the political hall and let the three of them decide, in this case, his emperor will be hollowed out,

"The four university houses, you can't raise corpses and vegetarian people, Mr. is the prime minister, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Supervision must be ordered to strengthen the management and supervision of the four universities," Zhao Ji fought back depressedly,

"Yes," Wang Anshi just said briefly,

Wang Anshi didn't have any objections, Sima Guang didn't get angry, and he didn't say anything, but his face was calm.

"Then let's do what Mr. wants, how to deal with the phenomenon of baby drowning, I'm afraid it's not enough to just relax the school selection system," Zhao Ji then asked helplessly,

"Or take a compromise approach, birth, marriage and funeral, although it is the three biggest things in a person's life, but it is too extravagant, and it is indeed a waste of social wealth, and it is contrary to human ethics to restrict it in the form of taxation, if you let the Institute of Etiquette of the Civilization University make some deletions to the existing etiquette, and use the new etiquette to control the scale and wealth consumption, and the distribution of the inheritance, it is better to let the property owner decide for himself, if it cannot be decided, then the government will intervene, regardless of men and women, according to the order of the eldest and youngest, to decide the inheritance of a son," Wang Anshi arranged,

Wang Anshi's arrangement is also more humane, Zhao Ji can only nod after hearing this, and said: "This is also reasonable, can the craftsman increase some wages?"

The craftsmen referred to here are not just the workers in the workshop, but include all the workers, including those who work for the landlord as a long-term worker, and help the shop as a partner, the current Song Dynasty is not like later generations, there are factories everywhere, and the workers have become a class, and now the Song Dynasty has relatively few specialized workers, only in Jiangning, Shangjing, Mingzhou and other cities that have opened large-scale workshops, in other areas, the workshop is still a family system, that is, a family or a clan is operating,

"The minimum wage, the government hall has been clearly ordered, and it is impossible to rely on the government to issue an order to increase the salary of craftsmen," Wang Anshi shook his head and said,

"Holy Lord, it's time for the court meeting," Li Xiang'an interrupted the discussion between Zhao and the three, and said,

The three stopped discussing, and the pilgrimage meeting continued.

At the following court meeting, some important matters of the general election of the government hall were discussed and arranged, such as the development of the Golden State, the supply of the Indian Expeditionary Force, the development plan for the next ten years, and some minor disasters that are now occurring in various places.

In fact, most of the time the court meeting is a formality, as long as the emperor does not react much, the matter has been basically settled, before the court, how to deal with the matter, has long been discussed,

Approaching the evening, this day's court meeting should almost be over, fortunately, there is not such a court meeting every day, otherwise the officials don't have to do anything, just go to the court, the Tang Dynasty period is almost to be a daily court meeting, however, that is called the early dynasty, the time is not long, to the Song Dynasty, the early dynasty practice is basically canceled, except for the big court meeting, the general thing is to discuss in the political hall, if the emperor has a problem, he just called the relevant officials to the Chongzheng Hall Wende Hall i Chen Hall to discuss,

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat," Zhang Ruoshui shouted at the top of his voice,

"The minister has a plan to play," Shen Kuo stood up with difficulty and arched his hand,

Zhao Ji looked at the current Shen Kuo, a little disgusted, he didn't expect that a great scientist, politician, reformer, military strategist, inventor, diplomat, navigator, and heavenly family who represented the wisdom of an era in history, and had more laurels on his head than the future President of the United States Franklin, turned out to be a big fat man, with small eyes, a bulging face full of fat, a ten-month-like belly, and the official uniform of the first size of the Song Dynasty, which really made people dare not look high.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Kuo was the head of the Tiangong Academy and a member of the Political Affairs Hall, he didn't have a seat, if he had been standing, how could he insist on such a full-day court meeting?

Zhao Ji took the recital from Zhang Ruoshui's hand and quickly browsed it, then smiled and said happily: "Quasi-play,"

There are three contents in the recital: first, Shen Kuo and the heavenly mathematician Wei Pu jointly completed the "Twelve Qi Calendar", hoping that Zhao Ji could allow the replacement of the old "Fengyuan Calendar",

The "Twelve Qi Calendar" eliminates the drawbacks of the old calendar, and determines the moon with solar terms, which is very close to the common solar calendar of later generations.

Second, Shen Kuo presided over the manufacture of an armillary sphere and achieved success, the main role of the armillary sphere is to observe the celestial phenomena, Shen Kuo hoped that Zhao Ji could promise Si Tianjian to set up sky observation stations in various places, and publish the results of the observation in the business newspapers of the workshops in various places, in fact, this is the Song Dynasty version of the weather forecast,
