Chapter 194: Opposition
"Your Majesty also said before that the people do not want to send their children to school, but because the poor cannot afford to be shackled, and the farming is busy, even if they are only six or seven years old, the children have to work in the fields, how can they concentrate on studying?"
Zhu Houwei nodded and smiled: "I have long thought of this, the school buildings of the county school and primary school are funded by the local government, and the students' teaching and learning monthly salaries, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, including textbooks are funded by the government, so why are the people unwilling?" As for the prefectural school and the capital school, it is all based on merit and voluntariness, and I am not reluctant, and if I wish, I will determine the tuition according to the situation at that time. ”
Wang Shouren gasped, what a big stroke, so much courage, in this way, then the compulsory three years of county school and primary school, that is, seven years, students can study without spending a penny!
Don't the people want their children to be able to study and get ahead, are they willing to live a life of poverty facing the loess and facing the sky for generations, and endure the exploitation of the government?
Of course, it is impossible to be willing, so who would not want their children to go to school, this is not mandatory at all.
It's just seven years of free study, how many school buildings will be built? How much money do you need?
There is no willingness of the government to do it, after all, it is a tax supply, but what about the household department?
How much does the household spend on education each year?
This account is difficult to calculate, and it is not his turn to calculate it.
Zhu Houwei seemed to see through Wang Shouren's concerns, and said with a light smile: "There is no need to worry about the silver, it is only five or six million taels of silver, half of this money is paid by the Ministry of Households, and half of it is paid by me, and I will call on the rich families in the world to donate money for education, there will be no problem."
Wang Shouren was speechless, the tax revenue of the Zhengde Dynasty was only seven or eight million taels a year, and now the Son of Heaven wants to study, saying five or six million taels a year, it is like saying five or six thousand taels a taste, which is really wealthy.
But then again, it's really not bad for money today, not to mention that the commercial tax that has almost been announced is almost solid, and it is easy to use the income from the salt government to start a school.
"I understand." Wang Shouren was impressed.
Zhu Houwei bowed his head and said: "I have appointed Wang Qing as a student envoy, ranking in the third grade, managing the world's academic affairs, and governing the yamen of various places, Wang Qing can be confident that I will do a good job in this century-old plan?"
Wang Shouren bowed down and said: "This is a great good act, and the minister can only bow and die with all his might!"
The promise was simple, but Wang Shouren didn't have a bottom in his heart, the Ming Dynasty had governors, scholars, and envoys and political envoys were all local officials, but what kind of thing was the inspection envoy?
is still in the third rank, and it is estimated that the officials will have to rip off again......
"Okay, with Wang Qing's words, I will be relieved, and when Wang Qing returns from office, I will let you enter the cabinet."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houwei waved his hand, and Wang Shouren bowed and retreated.
"What did the officials say?"
Ren Xing said in a low voice: "Lu Shangshu said that there is no such precedent......"
"And then?"
"The slave maid said that the official title of the world did not exist when the world was opened, why not if the master wants to set up a new school tour?"
"Well, that's a good job."
"But Lu Shangshu said that even if it is newly established, this school patrol envoy will inspect the world to learn politics, and the rank should be the same level as the governor, and the imperial historian of the Imperial Court will patrol the world, that is to say, the school patrol should be the second grade rather than the third grade, and the appointment of the second-grade official should be pushed by the court, how can the master be appointed by the decree, which is not in line with the Ming official system, and Wang Shouren's qualifications are not high, and it is not enough to serve as the second-grade official."
Zhu Houwei had a headache, this Lu Wan was originally the imperial history of the Zuodu, because of the cabinet supplement, he changed it to the official department, I thought that this old man was in the military and would not be so stubborn, but now it seems that he thinks too much.
As for Wang Shouren's grade and qualifications, before he was recalled to the capital, Wang Shouren was the Taifu Siqing of Nanjing, and it was naturally not a problem for him to serve as a third-grade school tour, but if it was a second-grade, it would be a three-level jump in a row, and there was almost no possibility for high-grade officials.
Zhu Houwei remembered that Wang Shouren was recommended by Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, in the eleventh year of Zhengde, and then patrolled Jiangxi.
Obviously, this is Lu Wan's excuse, as for why he did this, it is very easy to understand, it doesn't matter if this new official position does not appear on the school tour, it doesn't matter how many products there are, the key is business opportunities!
According to the authority given by Zhu Houwei, the school tour envoy has jurisdiction over the world's academic politics and has the power to mobilize a large amount of funds, such a big piece of cake, but all the bigwigs in the court will want to install their own people and oppose Wang Shouren's appointment, not because he is the emperor's person, but because Wang Shouren is not his own person.
"Spread my will to the cabinet, let the cabinet take the lead in the court to promote Wang Shouren as a school tour envoy, and the grade is set to tell the cabinet from the second grade, I only recognize Wang Shouren for the position of this school tour envoy, if they push other officials, I don't agree, and in the end I will not set up a school tour envoy, I will let the middle official supervise the world's school affairs!"
"The slave obeys." Ren Xing responded with a smile, the master's hand is really ruthless, let the eunuch supervise the world's learning? It is estimated that all the scholars have to be no different from eating flies, and in the end, in order to prevent the eunuchs from interfering, Wang Shouren will definitely be elected to come out as a school tour.
In any case, Wang Shouren is an orthodox Confucian disciple, and if he is an official, the bigwigs in the DPRK and China may be unhappy, but they will definitely not object.
"Let Yan Tianyuan come to see me."
After dealing with government affairs for a while, Yan Tianyuan went to the imperial study.
If Sister Yu sighed at the wonder of her life encounters, then Yan Tianyuan didn't let it go.
ran to Hangzhou to save his fiancée, but accidentally became a neighbor with King Yong, thinking that he had made a friend, but he didn't expect that his friend was the most noble vassal king in the world.
In order to repay his kindness, he became the guard of Yongwangfu, and he thought that this life would be like this, but he didn't expect Yongwang to enter Beijing and become an emperor......
And he turned out to be the commander of the Jinyi Guard......
It was precisely because he became the commander of Jinyiwei that his father finally compromised and let Jiang Jingtian, the prospective daughter-in-law who had fallen into the dust, enter the door and become the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, and there was no rumors.
As for the Son of Heaven rehabilitating the Jiang family, there is no need to mention these again.
Yan Tianyuan only knew that in this life, he could not repay the great kindness of the Son of Heaven, and he could only die effectively, and only by being a cow and a horse in the next life might be able to repay the kindness.
Jin Yiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, his eyes and ears are the claws of the eagle, although his father is an official in the court, but only under the order of the Son of Heaven, he will still show his minions and deal with the Manchu Dynasty!
This is a qualified brocade guard!
"Coming?" Zhu Houwei put the fold away and said: "There is no need to be restrained here, I actually like Yan Tianyuan, who regarded me as a friend when I was in Hangzhou."
"The last general will not dare." Yan Tianyuan was sincerely afraid.
