Chapter 30: The Prince's New Deal
After Su Zhe sent everyone away, he walked into the back hall quickly, but he didn't find Nan Bo left and right, so he asked Roland, "What about that kid Nan Bo!" Dead that? ”
"What else do I want to ask you? As soon as Xiao Eleven came in just now, he pulled Li Lie and left, his face didn't look very good, did something happen? I heard Li Lie, who has been peeking, say, didn't Little Eleven win? Roland asked with some concern.
"Hey, you all saw it?" Su Zhe sighed, sat down in the chair next to Roland, and asked rhetorically.
"I didn't look at it, it was Li Lie who peeked intermittently, but in the end, you were too close to the back door, and he didn't dare to peek again, what happened?" Roland explained.
"The situation is more complicated than I imagined, it seems that the prince's trip to the Western Wilderness this time is not as simple as 'in the mountains', I guess he will make a big move, this matter is estimated that Lu Lang should know something through his good brother, and today's situation is so complicated, so our plan failed, although Nanbo won the game, but the prince did not choose him." Su Zhe casually picked up a bottle of Black Blood Gray and said as he poured wine.
"These people are all big people with heads and faces, and it's really shameless to lose faith in children. What about you? You shouldn't and won't keep your promises, right? Roland said angrily.
"Where the hell are you? Really, a you, a thunder dragon, are so protective of that kid, what's so good about that little liar. Don't worry, my Su Zhe's promise is not worth that money, and ah, this kid is not losing at all this time, it can be said that he has made a lot of money, which makes me a little envious of him. And this prince is quite special, and it's not as unbearable as you say, and I'm starting to understand a little bit of No. 2's intention to let us contact him. As soon as Su Zhe raised the wine glass to his mouth, he heard Roland's words, put the wine glass back on the table, and replied angrily.
"You still say that we, don't you yourself be very interested in Xiao Eleven, don't think I don't know, you have been letting No. 7 secretly observe and protect him." Knowing that Nanbo had not suffered any grievances, Roland smiled again, and then said.
"I'm too lazy to care about the life or death of that little liar, I see that he has good potential, and I want to get some talents for the 'mountain', so that No. 7 can investigate him." Su Zhe said after taking a sip.
"You asked No. 7 to investigate? You don't want him to take over your class, do you? Roland asked.
"Is my class so easy to take, this matter is not in a hurry, let the 7th investigate more first, the situation in the 'mountains' is not very good now, and then take him into the industry when the time is ripe, and then it will depend on his own creation." Su Zhe drank wine and said leisurely.
"Hmph, I'll put gold on your face, your class is not easy to take, that's because no one wants to take it." Roland teased. Seeing that Su Zhe just snorted disdainfully, did not speak, and said tentatively: "Since you have the intention of developing Xiao Eleven to become the successor, why don't we adopt him, it must be very hard for him to work so hard as a child." ”
"This matter, even if we are willing, I'm just afraid that kid won't, I let No. 7 check the details of that kid, the bitterness in it can't be explained clearly in a few words, but I think it's probably impossible for him to recognize other people as parents, hey......" Su Zhe looked out the window and said with emotion......
Xihua Hotel can be said to be one of the best hotels in Sanye Port and even the whole Xihua State, because of the existence of the air rail car, but all the big people who come to Xihua basically have to stay here, so Xihua Hotel deliberately built a luxury villa area between Wangye Mountain and Shuiyue Lake, which is located in the southwest of Sanye Port, away from the shadow area, very safe, and close to the mountains and rivers, the climate is pleasant, and the scenery is beautiful.
Legend has it that the room numbers here all start with A, so the people of Sanye Port are used to calling this luxury villa area Area A of Xihua Hotel.
In the evening, the entire A area of Xihua Hotel is bathed in the golden sunset, and the scenery is even more intoxicating. However, standing on the balcony on the third floor of the tallest, best and most luxurious A0001 villa in the entire villa area, Jiang Baiyuan, who has a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the entire A area, has no intention of enjoying the scenery.
Jiang Baiyuan stood on the balcony in the open air, looking into the distance with a somewhat confused look, his mind full of inquiries or questions sent by the parliament, the Zhongshu Province, the Ministry of Education and other institutions. Although Jiang Baiyuan has been mentally prepared for this, when the matter really comes, it will still make people feel irritable.
"Your Highness, the wind is blowing, you better go into the house and rest." Leng Lingye, who had just gone up to the third floor, saw Jiang Baiyuan standing outside the window, so he walked quickly to Jiang Baiyuan's side and said.
"This little wind is nothing, although I can't compare to you Leng'er, but I can't help but be so weak." Jiang Baiyuan smiled and rejected Leng Lingye's proposal, and then asked, "Professor and Che Han are back?" What I want you to check, how did you find out? ”
"They have come back, and they are waiting to report to you, I have checked what you asked me to investigate, and the Xihua State Police Department does not have a ready-made number, but after their urgent combing in the afternoon, it was confirmed that what the child said was not wrong, one hundred and eighty-nine thousand four hundred and thirty-six people, this is the number that the police department just transmitted, and the number said by the child named Nanbo at noon today is basically the same." Leng Lingye replied respectfully.
"yes, that's what it is." Jiang Baiyuan said more like talking to himself.
"Need to find out how that kid knows that number?" Leng Lingye proposed. Although Leng Lingye doesn't talk much, she is an extremely delicate and sensitive person.
The reason why she had this proposal was because at Gray's Bar at noon today, she felt that Nan Bo had a deep hostility towards Jiang Baiyuan, and this hostility did not appear after Jiang Baiyuan refused to choose Nan Bo, but existed since Nan Bo walked into the hall, which made her feel very strange.
"There's no need to check, it doesn't matter how he knows, the important thing is that he says the truth." Jiang Baiyuan shook his head and said.
"After the announcement of His Royal Highness's 'Prince's New Deal' this afternoon, inquiries have been sent from many quarters, including the Zhongshu Province, the Parliament and the Ministry of Education, Your Highness, you see how you want to reply." Although Leng Lingye still cared a little about Nanbo, she definitely did not question that Jiang Baiyuan's decision was Leng Lingye's consistent code of conduct, so she didn't mention it again, but moved on to other topics.
"I've read it all, you reply to them in a unified manner, just say that the 'Prince's New Deal' is the ancestral system of our Jiang Bai clan, this is my right, they have no right to intervene, as long as it is implemented, I will bear all the consequences." Jiang Baiyuan said firmly.
"But Your Highness, if these parties join forces to exert pressure, we will be under great pressure." Leng Lingye reminded with some worry.
"I know that the pressure will be very high, it is because of the pressure that we have to persevere, if even we compromise, then this matter will never succeed, let's go, let's go and listen to the results of Professor Lusen's investigation first, after all, if you solve the problem of the non-devourer, everything will not be possible." Jiang Baiyuan replied to the implied suggestion in Leng Lingye's words in a resolute voice, and then walked out the door.
"Yes." Leng Lingye didn't say anything, and followed Jiang Baiyuan with a word, but there was a trace of worry in his tone......
"Education reform? The Prince's New Deal? I didn't think he was coming. Nanbo looked at the big commercial screen across the street and muttered to himself.
On the side of the stargazing square, Nanbo sat quietly for an afternoon, and waited until night fell before getting up and leaving to go home. Just when Nanbo walked to a more prosperous intersection of Sanye Port Commercial Street, the big screen across the street that was supposed to be playing various advertisements actually broadcast the news inexplicably. Nanbo stopped and looked at it curiously, only to find that it was a piece of news about Jiang Baiyuan.
Donggong actually released the Huaxia education reform plan in the name of "Prince's New Deal", and the content of the plan is so much that just the introduction, Luo Yan, the ace anchor of Huaxia, read it for a full 18 minutes.
However, in Nanbo's ears, there are three of the most critical, which can also be said to be the core content of this reform plan.
The first is the most important and the most difficult to achieve, the implementation of compulsory eight-year free compulsory education throughout China.
The second is the revision of the teaching materials, and the new education system will abolish the history of royal grace and replace it with modern history, and thoroughly revise the educational curriculum, and put forward a new educational philosophy -- "the establishment of an educational system aimed at cultivating human resources who respect the dignity of the individual, desire truth and peace, and are full of creativity and individuality."
The third is to establish large-scale institutions of higher education for general culture, reduce the proportion of military and hunting colleges in the higher education system, and reduce the proportion of military and hunting colleges and universities from the current 50 percent to 20 percent.
This sudden news gave Nanbo a new interpretation of what happened today.
Although on the surface this is only an educational reform, with the current embarrassing national conditions in China, it is extremely difficult to implement any of them. Needless to say, the popularity rate of basic education is estimated to be less than half, Nanbo's original family background is not bad, and he only recognized words in the church school, if it weren't for the three years of wonderful experience in the dream library, Nanbo might be a literate quasi-illiterate by now.
Even in Zhongzhou and Northern Xia, where the popularity of education is very high, if these systems want to be thoroughly implemented, the difficulty is not also under the Western Wilderness, after all, after these years of abnormal development, China's education has long been industrialized, reduced to a profit-making tool for interest groups, and it is also an industry that is more profitable than drug trafficking, and there must be great resistance to reform.
Nanbo can foresee that this education reform will inevitably stir up a commotion in China, a country that currently seems to be calm on the surface. And judging from Nanbo's experience at Gray's Bar today, it seems that the upper echelons of Huaxia have begun to play.
"To deal with the Devourer, that's why Ouranos, right? wants to open up the transportation between Zhongzhou and Xihua to implement his own education reform, and he is really an innocent prince of education. After combing through the various information in his mind, Nanbo summed up psychologically, but a new idea came out after thinking about it: "Or is this so-called education reform just an excuse to send troops and hunt, but in fact, the essential purpose is to open up transportation and strengthen control over the Western Wilderness?" To wrest control of the Western Wilderness from the Chasseur Guild? Or to fight the rebels? But in any case, the reason for education reform seems to be too much, and it is a bit worth the cost, after all, the 'prince's new deal' is not a joke. ”
Nanbo is very clear about the origin of the prince's new policy, which is Jiang Bai I, the only son of the hunting god Jiang Baiyunqi Jiang Bai Xiaoxiao formulated the policy, Jiang Bai I stipulates that every prince who has reached the age of 18 has the right to issue a decree, the future success or failure of this decree also determines whether the prince can become a prince, this system is called "prince's new policy", its purpose is to choose an excellent prince.
However, the 'Prince's New Deal' is not everything that can be mentioned, and two conditions must be met, the first is that the required funds must not exceed 10% of the state revenue of the year, and the second is that it must be approved by the emperor.
These restrictions are inherently detrimental to the immediate education reform, and no matter how Jiang Baiyuan tries to convince his father, 10% of the state revenue is obviously not enough to support the implementation of this decree.
And the most important thing is that the current reigning Emperor Wen is an infatuated lover, and he has only taken two women in his life, one is the former queen Helian Yao, and the other is the current queen Zhang Yuehua, the heirs are thin, only Jiang Baiyuan has a son and a little daughter. Jiang Baiyuan was crowned crown prince as early as 12 years old. So there is no need to put forward the "prince's new deal", after all, once something goes wrong with the new deal, Jiang Baiyuan, as the crown prince, will also have to take responsibility, although there is no one to compete with him on the surface, but Emperor Wen is only in his 40s after all, and it is not impossible to have another one, and it is not completely impossible for Huaxia to get an empress out today.
Therefore, Nan Bo can't understand whether Jiang Baiyuan is really an ignorant and fearless prince who wants to make a difference, who has humanity, courage, and consciousness, or a ruthless prince who is extremely deep, addicted to power and scheming, and unscrupulous for the sake of the end.
There were too many things that happened today, which made Nanbo's brain a little tired, and he didn't eat for almost a day, and hunger was also a big problem at present, so Nanbo didn't bother to think about these things that were too far away from him, just stopped for a while and walked in the direction of home.
Therefore, Nanbo did not expect that a hundred years later, this new policy, known as the "education source reform", was given extremely high praise by historians and was recognized as the cornerstone of China's rise.
However, people who enjoy the fruits of this reform a hundred years later will naturally only remember its goodness, but cannot personally feel the hardships in the process of implementing this decree and the pain caused by the series of turmoil behind this decree.
