Chapter 795: It's a little dark
Chapter 795 is a little dark
"I know this ......," Yang said lightly.
Yang Reform is not the Chongzhen in history, completely captive in the Forbidden City by the bureaucratic class. Yang is very clear about prices and what a stone of rice represents.
“…… The Qing family only counted the bundle of repairs, not other things, such as school buildings, such as pen, ink and paper, such as books, etc., if these are included, this cost, I'm afraid it is far more than that. Yang Gai said that for the investment in education, Yang Gai himself has read for many years, which can be regarded as a personal experience.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, this is just a matter of calculating, the cost of teaching and writing students, other school buildings, tables, chairs, benches, pens, ink and paper, books, etc., is far from being counted, this number is already ridiculously high, such a high amount of money, every time the minister thinks of it, he feels terrified!" Lin Zhu said that in the face of education expenses as high as one or two hundred million per year, Lin Zhu did not dare to think much except for looking up and sighing, so much money, even if he wanted it very much, he did not dare to open this mouth, which was too much.
"Hmm......" Yang Gai nodded, with the current state of productivity in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to truly achieve universal education, and it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to popularize a certain degree of universal education. It's not a question of money, it's a question of productivity, and without a high enough productivity, it simply can't afford to support so many people who are out of work to study.
“…… Do you have any ideas? Yang asked reform.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can only do his best, although he has the heart, but he is powerless! There are too many people in the world to support so many students to study...... Lin Zhu said with great regret.
“…… What about you? Yang asked again.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is really not easy, if it is so easy to achieve, it will not be such a grand event in my dynasty, in all dynasties, this kind of thing, is an ethereal thing, and only my dynasty, can under the care of His Majesty on this road to overcome obstacles, although the road is difficult, but after all, it is moving forward......" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu saw that Kong Yinzhi did not mean to speak, and immediately sent it to the fart.
"Huh, huh?" Yang Gengai looked at several ministers and smiled.
Several ministers also nodded yes.
“…… Then does the secretary know why this matter is difficult to complete? Yang asked again. There is only one answer to this question, and that is related to productivity.
Several ministers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the question.
“…… Do you have any ideas? Yang Reform specially asked Kong Yinzhi, this Kong Yinzhi, he has mentioned this aspect to him more than once, and he is also his "spokesperson" in this regard in the future, Yang Reform found an opportunity to instill this aspect in him.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is a matter of support, the world has limited acres of land, and taxes are also limited, so it is impossible to support so many people to come out to study,...... Your Majesty, although this matter is a good thing and a grand event, I have to say that we need to do our best and not force ......," Kong Yinzhi said.
"Hmm......" Yang Reform nodded, and what he said was quite reliable.
“…… The acres of land are limited and the taxes are limited, which means that the actual dynasties will never be able to fulfill this grand wish, right? Yang Gai said again.
The emperor's statement was a little surprising, and several ministers showed different colors.
“…… All the taxes set by the founding of the DPRK are only 20 million or 30 million, and if they are all invested in education and education, it may be enough, but obviously, it is impossible for us to do this with all the taxes, right? Yang Gengai talked about this issue and asked casually. …,
“…… Back to Your Majesty, yes......" Several people did not open their mouths, He Ru Pet really couldn't bear it, and came out to answer.
“…… From the founding of the country to the present, the taxes of our dynasty have hardly changed much, and even decreased, so it is even more impossible to do this, right? Yang Reform asked again, these questions belong to things that can be calculated and calculated clearly, but "can't be counted", Yang Reform became interested for a while, and brought these up again.
“…… Returning to Your Majesty, yes......" He Rupet agreed helplessly.
"Then why am I willing to spend so much money on this now? And do you do it every year? Yang Reform asked with a smile again, and Yang Reform also opened these questions to him one by one.
Several ministers even looked different.
"There's nothing bad to say, a few secretaries just say it's ......," Yang encouraged the reform.
Several ministers were even more embarrassed, how could the emperor have so much money? First, the salt merchant fell, and the emperor was full; Then the emperor will do business, do business, and do business, that is called a god, and make a profit by doing one; And then the emperor was far-sighted, ruthless, and caught the maritime trade in his own hands, with these articles, it was difficult for the emperor to have no money. These are all facts, can they be said?
“…… Returning to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise and wise, and he has good business methods, so he naturally has so much money......" He Ruzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up helplessly again and said.
"Hehehe, that is to say, if I relied on the Tian Fu formulated by my ancestors, I would never have been able to do this, right? In other words, if it weren't for business, if it wasn't for his methods, it would never be possible for several Qing families to do this, right? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
"Returning to Your Majesty, this is indeed true, if it is just relying on the land endowment, needless to say, even the salaries of officials and soldiers are difficult to pay on time, how can we talk about holding such a grand event for thousands of years? Your Majesty, this is true......" This time, it was Liu Zongzhou who stood up and took over the words.
"Well, that makes sense......" Yang Gai nodded and said.
In the room, there was some silence.
These words of the emperor are indeed constantly knocking on everyone's minds, now the Ming Dynasty, and the past is indeed very different, the income of the household is far more than before, the money controlled by the emperor is even more terrifying, many things that can only be done before, can not be put into practice, can now be done, but the reasons inside, but can come up with a lot of surprising answers.
"What do you think of my business, running factories, and all kinds of profit-seeking things?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Gengai asked again.
A few people began to be embarrassed, although everyone despised the matter of doing business, although everyone said that business was not good, but in fact, there were a few people who did not do business at home, in the past, everyone should be blind, and they all hid from the emperor to say nonsense, but now ......, the emperor's business is bigger than anyone else, and those who fooled the emperor in the past, don't say it, now it's embarrassing to think about it. Who would dare to tell the emperor what it was like to do business now?
“…… Back to Your Majesty, without Your Majesty's profit, there will be no today's event, and there will be no today's ...... of my Ming Dynasty" Liu Zongzhou stood up again, and replied loudly, although Liu Zongzhou is also very disgusted with these things, and he is not very approves, but the fact is that he now has the money to do things, and to do this kind of thing that is rare for a thousand years, what is it called to be unstoppable, this is.
"Well, that makes sense!" Yang Gengai shouted hello.
Several others bowed their heads.
"Regarding the lack of money for running a school, I still say that I will fully support it, what I promised before, will still be valid in the future, and in the future, the imperial court's taxes will increase, and the investment in running schools will gradually increase, there is no doubt about this,...... Hehehe, in the future, you will have to pay close attention to this tax, if the tax revenue increases and the investment in this area does not increase, I will not be responsible for the loss...... "Yang Reform said with a smile. …,
A few people were embarrassed again, and now, what else could they say except to follow the emperor? Whether it is the truth or the reality, it has already been confirmed that if they do not follow what the current emperor says, do not follow the path of the current emperor, and run the school, they have to be like the people of the previous dynasties and dynasties, and they want to think about it.
“…… I have called you here today, and there is one more thing I want to ask you, how do you plan to spread this school? Is it a full-scale rollout of the whole world, or is there a focus, or something else? Specific to the state and county, how is it arranged? How is a trip to the countryside arranged? ...... "Yang Reform and these people have been talking for a long time, in fact, they have been embarrassed to say this matter, Yang Reform's heart is soft, but this matter must be done hard, dark, this matter, a little cold, extraordinarily cruel. It's not that Yang Reform doesn't want to do him better, but as a ruler with a population of hundreds of millions, sometimes, you have to make trade-offs, and some means are also necessary.
Saying this, Yang Reform's heart instantly cooled.
