On the carriage, Ji Qiang saw that Xia Jingnian was sullen, and asked with concern, "What are you thinking?" ”

Xia Jingnian told Ji Qiang what he thought in his heart, and Ji Qiang nodded and said: "Yes, the life of the people at the bottom is too hard, we have to find a way to solve it." ”

"You can't solve it all, but you always have to change the status quo." Xia Jingnian didn't report much hope, he just wanted to do something for the people.

How could Ji Qiang not understand what Xia Jingnian was thinking, she held Xia Jingnian's hand and said, "It's not just this, but I think that like today's child, he looks like a smart person, but his family has no money and can't afford to study." ”

There are simply too many children who are so talented, but their families are poor and can't afford to read. If these children are educated, there will be many talents available to the imperial court in the future.

But their parents don't have the ability to let their children study.

Ji Qiang suddenly thought of a good solution.

"It's better to set up a few more schools in the capital, hire those low-level people to build them, give them enough wages, and provide them with food. Their children can come to our school for free, and the court will pay for them to invite a husband? Ji Qiang thought it was a good idea.

Xia Jingnian also thinks this method is very good, but it is ......

"Recently, the imperial court has not collected much tax, and the treasury is not very full, so I'm afraid it's difficult." The solution is excellent, but it is somewhat difficult to implement.

However, he came all the way and found that there were a lot of vendors in the capital, and they were not the business names of large families, but there were some small businesses in the family who went to business in the capital and channeled goods, so they lived in small inns and ate roadside stalls.

If you can build a few restaurants at reasonable prices, so that these traders and vendors can come here to eat, maybe you can use the money to build a school, and if the money is left, it can also be used as money in the treasury, killing three birds with one stone!

"It's still the emperor's idea. It's just that when the construction starts in the early stage, I'm afraid it will take some twists and turns. "The construction of a restaurant in the early stage also requires manpower and material resources.

Xia Jingnian waved his hand, "I'm not afraid of these, I can still call the shots with this money." "The reason why the matter of building the school was moved back was because things were still a little cumbersome, and besides, there were some things he hadn't thought about yet.

After returning to the palace, Xia Jingnian told the people of the household department about this matter when he went to the court, and although the people of the household department were surprised that the emperor suddenly made this decision, they still received the order to do it.

I thought that the household department would find someone to build a restaurant by themselves, so that they could still get some oil and water out of it.

What I never expected was that Xia Jingnian personally inquired about this matter, and the whereabouts of every amount of money had to be explained to Xia Jingnian one by one, and they all used the low-level people, wages, and food.

As a result, there is an endless stream of people in the capital who have signed up to repair the restaurant, and even the beggars in the capital are significantly less.

The restaurants were repaired, and the small traders who came and went to the capital knew that there was such a place, the price was the same as other taverns, but the food was much better, so the small traders were more willing to go to the restaurant to eat, and go to an ordinary inn to rest at night.

The money earned by the restaurant eased the household a little, but before he could take a breath, Xia Jingnian made another holy decree - to build a school.

The school is still built with those low-level people, and as before, the salary is sufficient, including food. Rainbow Literature Network

Although the people don't understand what the school is for, they are very happy that everyone has one more way to make a living.

Fengluan Palace.

Xia Jingnian and Ji Qiang talked about the carnival of the people in the capital, and they all praised his wisdom, Ji Qiang saw that he was happy, they both ate an extra bowl of rice, and said with a smile: "It seems that this has improved the lives of the people, and the emperor is happy from the bottom of his heart." ”

"That's natural, when the school is built, I will let these children of the people spend the least money and take over the best education! In this way, it can be regarded as sending talents to the imperial court. As long as Xia Jingnian thinks of that prosperous era, he feels that the future is promising.

Ji Qiang shook her head, "Even if you spend the least money, there are still people who feel that studying is not necessarily a necessary thing, and they will not spend that money." ”

"In this way, it will not meet the emperor's expectations." Ji Qiang saw Xia Jingnian thoughtful, and continued: "If you want to send talents to the imperial court, you don't just rely on smart children, but all the children have to come to learn and choose the best from them. What's more, there are many people who are illiterate nowadays, and I think they would want to learn if they could. ”

Xia Jingnian seemed to understand Ji Qiang's words, "You mean, everyone should learn?" ”

"Yes." Ji Qiang nodded, "More than that, the tuition for the first three years of the academy should be free." ”

Xia Jingnian was very surprised by such an idea, "Free? Are you saying that you don't spend a penny to attend classes in the first three years? ”

Ji Qiang explained: "The first three years are free, so that everyone can learn and be literate. Three years have passed, and no matter how smart a person is, he can still know some life principles and know what he wants to do. And those who still want to continue their studies and serve the imperial court in the future need to pay money to continue their studies. ”

This made Xia Jingnian not understand, "Then what if someone wants to take advantage of it, only study for three years, and then stop learning?" ”

Ji Qiang smiled, "How is that possible?" Some children have lofty ambitions and want to study for the imperial examination to change the status quo of their families, but they do not have the conditions to study, and they have studied for free for three years in the past, which will make them more eager to study. What's more, our tuition fees are not high. ”

"In that case, then do as you say." Xia Jingnian thought about it and felt that what Ji Qiang said made sense, and agreed with it.

Seeing that Xia Jingnian just agreed, but didn't seem to understand, Ji Qiang couldn't help but explain: "This is to let the children of the low-level people have the opportunity to learn." If it's really a child who doesn't want to learn, even if it's free for you, and your parents tie them up to study, they won't want to. So you relax. ”

"I know that you are doing this for the sake of the people." Xia Jingnian took Ji Qiang's hand, "Having a virtuous queen like you is not only my luck, but also the luck of the people." ”

Ji Qiang blushed shyly, "Being able to do things for the people and solve problems for the emperor is what the queen should do." ”

The next day, Xia Jingnian issued a holy decree, and on the emperor's list, the onlookers saw it and cried with joy.

Their children can go to school too! It's still free to go to school, and their children no longer have to watch the children of those rich families go to school, and the poor baba is gathered under the wall to listen to the teacher's class!

These are all the queen's proposals, and they are all the queen's favors to them!

The people spontaneously bowed in the direction of the palace, "The queen mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!" ”
