Wait for Gongsun to leave.

General Wuzi Liang walked over from the next room.

Zhao Zi's face was full of curiosity: "Your Majesty, just let her go?" Are you a hero who saves beauty? ”

Tang Tingbai smiled, he gently patted Zhao Zi's shoulder: "Haha, you don't understand this, I'm looking forward to it now, I saw Gongsun Li in the court, her reaction at that time!" ”

……

There was no word all night, Xuanzheng Palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials stood on the Xuanzheng Palace.

Now that the discussion of the government has been completed, it is normal to retreat from the court.

But Tang Tingbai sat on the dragon chair and didn't speak, and even his face was a little unsightly.

Su Zhen and Zhang Tiandao glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

They don't understand what happened to their emperor.

And Tang Tingbai was thinking about whether he should implement nine-year compulsory education in Dayan now.

You must know that now the population of Dayan has exceeded 200 million, and even if Tang Tingbai did not kill the people of the four Turkic and Xiongnu prefectures, there might be 300 million people in Dayan now.

Tang Tingbai was wondering whether the nine-year compulsory education should be implemented in the end.

Now, Dayan is still the family and the Son of Heaven share the world.

Now, in the Great Yan Dynasty, at least more than eighty percent of them are from the family.

Thanks to these families, they are not monolithic, otherwise Tang Tingbai's decree would not be implemented.

It can be said that more than eighty percent of the world's scholars are monopolized by the family.

And the remaining two floors are all civilians, all of them are poor.

They want to train a reader, and it is too difficult for such a reader to get ahead.

Although now, Tang Tingbai has been relatively fair to the scholars of the Han Sect of Dayan, but that's all.

For example, there are two people, a child of a family and a poor family.

Both of them have the same results, and they can both become champions.

But there can only be one champion of Dayan.

Then the invigilator will definitely not hesitate to choose the son of the family as the champion.

The reason is simple, the two have the same grades, but their family backgrounds are different, even if they both become champions, their final fate is different.

For example, if the son of that family becomes the champion, he will be rewarded by the imperial court and go to the local office.

When this person goes to the place, the families in various places will give face, and the political performance will definitely be good, and the family will also help when he encounters trouble.

And that Hanmen disciple became the champion of the Yuanlang, and he also went to the local office.

But he will definitely hit a wall everywhere, because the local family will not give him any face at all, and will even block him everywhere.

That's the gap.

This is also understandable, after all, since ancient times, the Son of Heaven and the family have shared the world.

In the eyes of the family, the people are just ants.

This group of ants was the first to die in troubled times.

And in times of peace, this group of people is the ants of their family, and they can be crushed to death at will.

Thinking of this, Tang Tingbai wanted to promote nine-year compulsory education even more.

Because as long as this thing is promoted, it means that the people of the world have a chance to turn over.

In less than 20 years, at least eighty percent of the officials in the Great Yan Dynasty were from poor families.

In this way, after half an hour, Tang Tingbai raised his head and solemnly looked at the civil and military officials of the Dayan court.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am going to take out one billion taels of silver from the treasury to set up schools in various prefectures, counties, counties, and townships in Dayan, hire Confucian scholars as teachers, and at the same time provide free education, free books, and a meal at noon."

"And force the people of Dayan to send their children between the ages of eight and sixteen to school for nine years of compulsory education."

"What do you think?"

What???

Hearing this, all the officials' faces changed.

Prime Minister Su Zhen did not hesitate, and immediately took a step forward: "Your Majesty, the old minister is the first to disagree with this matter. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tiandao of the Ministry of Households, Zhou Guangkun of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Changlin of the Ministry of Industry and other Nanshan officials took a step forward together: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others do not agree to this matter, please think twice!" ”

No one who can become an official of the Great Yan Dynasty is a fool.

They know very well that once this is done, it will be done.

The status of their family will be threatened like never before.

Even after a few decades, it is uncertain whether their family can survive or not.

After all, one of the most important reasons why their family is so strong is because they have mastered the scholars.

The role of the reader is so great that it can even be described as terrifying.

The bookkeeper is a scholar, the officials in various places are scholars, and the court officials and even the prime ministers are also scholars.

It can be said that as long as you are a scholar, the chances of getting ahead are dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people.

And those ordinary people who can't read big characters may not have a chance to turn over in this life or even several lifetimes.

This is the gap!

Su Zhen raised his head and stared at Tang Tingbai with his eyes.

He instantly understood Tang Tingbai's thoughts.

Su Zhen is a good official and a responsible prime minister.

But he and Tang Tingbai have different positions, and they can't be the same in this life.

Tang Tingbai wanted to benefit the people, suppress and even destroy the family!

And Su Zhen is the opposite.

He is from a family, and the most important thing he needs to consider is that the interests of the family will not be damaged.

"Your Majesty, although Dayan has a lot of silver now, if it implements nine-year compulsory education and doesn't need a penny, it will consume astronomical sums every year, and maybe even one billion taels of silver a year will not be enough."

"Now for my Dayan, development is the most important, education is secondary, please think twice."

Su Zhen hurriedly bowed down, and there was even a hint of tremor in his voice.

At the same time, all the civil and military officials nodded in unison: "Yes, please think twice, I hope that Dayan will be talented, but Dayan really has no money!" ”

No money?

Hearing this, Tang Tingbai smiled disdainfully.

In the past, when Dayan's treasury was only a few hundred thousand taels, it was really no money, and even the officials' salaries could not be paid.

However, now Dayan can be said to be so rich that he even gives it to the people for free from time to time.

It can be said that now the people have been fed and clothed, and they are more than ten times stronger than before.

And now Dayan's monthly taxes are enough for the expenses of Dayan's imperial court.

Therefore, in Tang Tingbai's view, the two billion taels of silver in the treasury are placed in the long hair.

I work hard to make money in the world, in order to spend it for the people of the world, not to let it grow hair.

Tang Tingbai felt that he only needed to leave a few hundred million dollars of silver in case of emergency.

The rest must be spent.

Only when silver circulates in the market can Dayan's economy get better and better.

But now, this group of officials disagrees!

Besides, so much money was all earned by Tang Tingbai and the Dayan soldiers, and now the civil and military officials are not allowed to let it?

Thinking of this, Tang Tingbai laughed angrily.

"Prime Minister, what did you just say? Isn't a billion taels enough? Tang Tingbai said lightly.

Su Zhen nodded immediately: "It's not enough, it's far from enough, please think twice, now this silver should be kept to build bridges and pave roads to improve people's livelihood, education is very important, but it is definitely not done now!" ”

Tang Tingbai smiled: "Since one billion taels of silver is not enough, I feel that the opportunity for the major families to perform has arrived." ”

After speaking, Tang Tingbai looked at Li Yuanfang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard: "Yuanfang, I will give you three days to investigate the money of all the families in Dayan and make a report to me, understand?" ”
