After nodding with Zhang Yan's reaction, Wei Zheng directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Le'an, tell me what you have seen and heard outside Datong City, in front of the prime ministers of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and say it again......

Princess Le'an, who had the idea of watching Wei Zheng's jokes, said what she had just said to Wei Zheng without thinking about it.

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shuyuan still had a puzzled facial expression just now, but at this moment, he actually showed the same solemn expression as Wei Zheng.

As a subordinate brought out by Wei Zheng, Zhou Shuyuan definitely knows more about Wei Zheng than anyone else. Therefore, after listening to it once, Zhou Shuyuan understood the purpose of Wei Zheng hurriedly calling himself over.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng said directly: "Strategist, you also know the situation... I think that Le'an's criticism of our Shanxi Governor's Office is all right....As for education, not only Ben Shuai, but you, the prime minister in charge of the political affairs of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, have ignored ......."

Zhou Shuyuan nodded without the slightest hesitation and affirmed: "Dashuai, you are right, we are ignoring....However, this can't be blamed on Dashuai... After all, when we first took charge of the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, almost sixty percent of the people in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, which have tens of millions of people, were hungry. ”

"In such a situation, we can only ignore education and concentrate on solving the problem of food and clothing for tens of millions of people."

"If tens of millions of people don't even have enough to eat, even if the governor's palace builds them more blood sugar, it is impossible for them to send their children to school..."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng first nodded, and then shook his head again. Finally, he spoke: "Now that we know that we are wrong. Then it has to be corrected. Ben Shuai's idea is. From next year. The Governor's Mansion of Shanxi must arrest all the education in all the state capitals..."

"For every 5,000 people, a school must be built....Of course, the school that Ben Shuai is talking about is not a school that the imperial court is currently established in various states and counties, and only teaches some four books and five classics..."

Zhou Shuyuan's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously asked, "What do you mean..."

Wei Zheng replied thoughtfully: "As far as Ben Shuai knows, there are many foreigners in our Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and these foreigners. I know a little bit of arithmetic and physics...."

Ben Shuai's idea was that the schools to be established in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces would teach students physics and arithmetic in addition to teaching them the Four Books and the Five Classics. Only in this way can these students be used by me as soon as they graduate and become talents in all aspects, instead of the old masters of the imperial court......"

"In addition to this, Ben Shuai also has a very bold idea...... Among these schools to be established in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, it is not only necessary to recruit male students. There are also female students to be admitted..."

"In order to encourage female students to enter the school to study, we set a precedent that a woman can also come out and do things. Ben Shuai decided. Zhang Yan was appointed as the Director of the Education Department of the Governor's Office, and Le An was appointed as the Deputy Director of the Education Department..."

"Since you discovered the problem of education shortage in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, then you will solve this problem for me....When I first met you, Ben Shuai said that Ben Shuai wanted a woman who could go to the hall and the kitchen. What's more, of all the people Ben Shuai knows, the two of you are the most talented..."

Seeing the two people with shocked faces, Wei Zheng knew that his decision would shock the two of them, and it would definitely not rain an eight-magnitude earthquake. In order to avoid Zhang Yan's refusal, Wei Zheng directly opened his mouth and instigated: "Why, don't you believe in your own talent and can't help Ben Shuai solve this problem..."

"Also, Zhang Yan, although you are the master of the harem. However, in the entire harem, after all, there are only tens of thousands of people...... There is no comparison with the tens of millions of people in the entire Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces......"

"So, if you think you don't have the ability, you can refuse, and Ben Shuai will go to someone else."

Under Wei Zheng's series of stimuli, the expression on Zhang Yan's face quickly changed from shock at the beginning, to subsequent hesitation, and then to the current firmness.

After glaring at Wei Zheng fiercely, Zhang Yan, who had been forced to a dead end by Wei Zheng, had to speak.

"Okay, I promise you, to be the director of this education department..."

After Zhang Yan's affirmation, a pair of eyes had been staring at Zhang Yan, and Le An, who was afraid that Zhang Yan would refuse, directly showed an excited and arrogant expression on his face. Then, he shouted directly at Wei Zheng.

"Isn't it just the deputy director of the Department of Education, I'm happy to be a princess....I don't believe it, I'm a princess, and I can't even be the deputy director of the Department of Education...."

"Besides, my imperial sister-in-law is the queen today, so many palace maids and eunuchs can manage it in an orderly manner, not to mention a group of students......"

Received affirmative answers from the two, and a smile of victory appeared directly on Wei Zheng's face.

Looking at the two people who were full of confidence, Wei Zheng reminded with a kind face: "Of course, when you are the director and deputy director of the Department of Education, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come directly to Ben Shuai...."

At this moment, Zhang Yan, who had been deep in thought since she agreed to be the director of the Department of Education, suddenly flashed a strange smile on her face. As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, he spoke.

"Wei Dashuai....I really have a problem here....I just don't know if Wei Dashuai can solve it."

"Of course..."Wei Zheng affirmed without thinking.

"What's the problem, let's talk about it, Ben Shuai listens, he will definitely not disappoint the two of you......"

Hearing this, the weird smile on Zhang Yan's face became even stronger. As if the treacherous plan had succeeded, he spoke directly: "Dashuai, you just said that every 5,000 people will build a school." All the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces combined, tens of millions of people will definitely not be less. According to the ratio mentioned by the marshal, tens of thousands of schools will be established in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces......"

"Although I haven't really built a school, I still survived it....A school that can accommodate hundreds of students, without a thousand taels of silver, can't be built at all."

"And this means that the Shanxi Governor's Mansion must prepare at least 10 million taels of silver to build a school."

"In addition, the school is there, please ask Mr. for silver....10,000 school, at least about 100,000 teachers are needed. According to a gentleman's remuneration of ten taels of silver a month, it is twelve million taels of silver a year..."

"Of course, I don't need so much for the time being, just give all my gentlemen half a year's salary, that is, six million taels of silver...... Coupled with the expenses in various other aspects, I need at least 20 million taels of silver to be the director of the education department and solve the education problems in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. ”

Twenty million taels of silver, for Zhang Yan, is definitely a number that a thousand can't even think of.

Because, in her eyes, even if during the Apocalypse, all the annual taxes of the imperial court were added up, and there were not 20 million taels. And the Wei Zheng in front of him, no matter how huge the financial resources are, only control the territory of less than three provinces, and it is absolutely impossible to take out 20 million taels of silver again when he has already given the imperial court five million taels of silver.

More importantly, these 20 million taels of silver were not used to develop the military, but to develop education, which in the eyes of many people, did not have much necessary education.

Therefore, after Zhang Yan finished speaking, she stared at Wei Zheng in front of her with the idea of watching a joke, waiting for Wei Zheng's reaction.

However, let him down... Under her gaze, Wei Zheng's face did not show the expression that Zhang Yan wanted to see.

After only a brief period of contemplation, Wei Zheng's face showed a determined expression from the heart.

After taking a deep breath, he replied to Zhang Yan: "Yes....20 million taels of silver is 20 million taels of silver, and the handsome Shanxi Governor's Mansion can still afford this silver." Otherwise, the court would not be the first to think of Ben Shuai when there was a shortage of silver, and give you to Ben Shuai......"

"However, Ben Shuai has a request, the silver can be given to you, all the silver, must be used in the place where it should be spent....In addition, the Prime Minister will arrange some people to assist you."

"Of course, when these people are doing things, they all listen to the command of the two of you, how about it, are you satisfied with this answer from Ben Shuai..."

After listening to Wei Zheng's affirmation, Zhang Yan seemed to have heard it wrong, and an expression of disbelief appeared directly on her face.

After a long tea time, he asked Wei Zheng rhetorically: "Dashuai, you really gave me 20 million taels of silver..."

After getting Wei Zheng's repeated affirmation, Zhang Yan had not come back to her senses, and Le An, who was standing beside Zhang Yan, said excitedly as if she had eaten honey.

"Twenty million taels of silver... Great, sister-in-law, we have silver, a full twenty million taels of silver..."

Speaking of which, Princess Le'an's gaze at Wei Zheng had already changed a little unconsciously. With a smile on his face, he said to Wei Zheng: "Wei Zheng, in terms of silver, you are more generous than my imperial brother....The silver that the imperial brother gives me every year is not even a thousand taels, and you actually took out 20 million taels of silver at one time and handed it over to me and my sister-in-law..."

"From this point, I have to be sure that in terms of courage, you are far superior to my imperial brother..."

"Don't worry, as long as you have money, my sister-in-law and I will definitely use the shortest time to help you solve the problem of education shortage in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."

At this time, Zhang Yan's face, which had reacted from surprise, slowly became stern. As the queen, whether it is insight or foresight, she is far more than Princess Le'an around her. Therefore, Zhang Yan is very aware of the weight and role of 20 million taels of silver, and knows how heavy the burden on his shoulders is.

Under Wei Zheng's gaze, he replied with a rare stern face: "Please rest assured, I, Zhang Yan, will definitely live up to the expectations of the handsome...... Of course, Zhang Yan also thanked Dashuai for trusting me and giving me this opportunity...."(To be continued......)
