Chapter 578: Guilty of Guilt
"The King!"
I heard that Qingji wanted to educate the new Wu people, as a great order, and Kong Qiu, who was also the post of sacrificing wine in the school palace, couldn't help but go out of the ranks.
Old Master Kong said with a bitter face: "Great King, if you want to educate the new Wu people, the minister agrees."
"However, the newly opened Jiaozhi County, Dian County, and Qianzhong County of my Wu State have already sent thousands of scholars to serve as officials, or go to the southwest to study and educate the southerners."
"Now there is not one out of ten scholars in the Jixia School Palace. The king wants to set up an official school in Wu County to educate the new Wu people, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do it!"
Don't look at the bureaucracy of Wu at this time, the bureaucracy is very large, and there are many talents.
Even the courtiers and officials in the central government and the counties combined numbered tens of thousands.
However, if the official school is to be established, the problem of talents, Wu Guo is still stretched.
Because the cost of educating Li Shu is extremely high, and it opens up the people's wisdom without authorization, this may not be of much benefit to Qingji.
This is indeed something that will advance the course of history and will be of great benefit to future generations.
But with more and more readers, is talent still valuable?
Just like the college students of later generations, at the beginning, everyone in the major enterprises grabbed it.
Later, when it was overcrowded, college students sold pork, swept the streets, and worked as security guards......
Therefore, in Qingji's view, talent should be controlled within a limit.
The reason why Qingji wanted to set up an official school this time was not to open up the wisdom of the people, but to educate the new Wu people.
After some careful consideration, Qingji breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Kong Qiu, if there is no talent, why can't the widow issue an order to the world to seek merit, and only the talent moves?"
"All talents from all over the world can enter Wu, and there is a place."
"The establishment of the official school this time is aimed at educating the new Wu people, as well as promoting the culture of our Wu country, so that whether it is the new Wu people or the old Wu people, the blood will melt into the water, regardless of each other!"
"King Shengming!"
After knowing Qingji's thoughts, the ministers and doctors of Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and shouted one after another.
If Qingji really has the intention of setting up an official school and opening up the wisdom of the people, the ministers will definitely spare no effort to dissuade them, or even admonish them to death!
Why?
Because the cake is so big.
If Li Shu at the bottom also has the opportunity to read and write, or even get ahead like a nobleman, how can this make them embarrassed?
At this stage, Qingji is not ready to touch the interests of the aristocracy, so he can only set up an official school to make a transition period.
Perhaps, when the state of Wu dominates the world in the future, the successor monarch can take advantage of the precedent of Qingji to set up an official school and justifiably create the imperial examination system......
Of course, everything is still unknown now.
"Kongqiu."
"The minister is here!"
"It's up to you to draw up a merit-seeking order on behalf of the widow, be sure to be sincere, and be chiseled, so that you can set up a recruitment hall, build a golden platform, and put ten thousand gold on it, and a great talent can be divided into a thousand gold!"
Qing Ji said loudly: "Whoever has a skill, Wu should use it, and honor the official to bestow the knight!"
"No!"
Kong Qiu immediately agreed.
This is the second time that Qingji has issued a merit-seeking order, and the second time that a golden platform has been set up.
At that time, at the beginning of Qingji's accession to the throne, the state of Wu, which had experienced a civil war, could be described as broken mountains and rivers, and a hundred ruins were waiting to be rebuilt.
At that time, Qingji was full of ambition and was ready to clean up the old mountains and rivers, so he squeezed out money from between his teeth, set up a recruitment hall, and built a golden platform, in order to win the world's talents to enter Wu to serve.
The purpose of the celebration was achieved.
After many years, Wu finally issued an order to seek talents again.
Who will be the beneficiary this time?
"Deng Xi!"
"The minister is here!"
"You are responsible for the placement of the new Wu people, the compilation of household records, and the construction of official schools in various parts of Wu County in cooperation with the Jixia School Palace and the scholars who entered Wu. Don't let the widow down."
"Minister, obey
The king's command!"
Relatively speaking, Deng Xi's responsibility is heavy.
Because whether it is to educate the new Wu people or to set up an official school, it is all a century-old plan of the Wu State, and it is not allowed to be sloppy!
After a pause, Qingji looked around again, looked at the ministers above the court, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, the widow recently went to Wudu, Meili, and Yanling for a private visit, and benefited a lot."
"Since the widow succeeded to the throne, he has opened up his territory to the outside world for many years, and has been reckless in military force, although he has made meritorious contributions, he has also ...... it."
"The King!"
The ministers who heard this were all taken aback.
Qingji actually admitted his merits and demerits?
Could it be that Wu Wang Qingji is going to make an edict against himself?
No, no, no!
In any case, Qingji is always more meritorious than demeritorious.
His sacred position in the eyes of the subjects of Wu State is already unshakable!
It is the so-called lord humiliating the minister to death.
If Qingji is guilty of his own edict, I am afraid that the most shameful person is none other than the ministers and doctors of Wu State.
Fortunately, Qingji is a qualified male master, and if he knows his mistakes and corrects them, he will not easily admit his mistakes......
Qingji said meaningfully: "It has been 14 years since the widow inherited the throne."
"We will support the community and ensure the well-being of the people. However, the years of war have exhausted the people......
"The widow has seen with his own eyes that in a village in my native Wu country, there are either old people with white hair, or babies waiting to be fed, and there are few young adults."
"Why are there so many old and weak women and children? It's all the fault of the widow!"
"It's a widow, so that the old Wu family is a vegetarian, and the people who wear linen and filial piety are more than the family."
"A widow is ashamed......
"The King!"
The ministers of Wu Guo, who were very fond of their feelings, couldn't help but cry and knelt down after hearing Qingji's passionate speech.
"The king, the ministers are guilty!"
「……」
In this regard, Qingji just laughed it off.
Guilty?
The monarchs and ministers of the state of Wu are actually "inescapable".
Years of war have made Li Shu, the native of Wu, already exhausted.
Qingji, as the king of Wu, reigned for fourteen years, and most of the time during this period, the Wu army was fighting and fighting!
How can this not consume young adults?
Qingji had to admit a cruel fact-
Because of Qingji's ambition, he knocked out a whole generation of young people in Wu Kingdom!
This is something that makes Qing Ji have more than one season.
Fortunately, it was all worth it.
In the battles of Wu over the years, in fact, the most casualties were not the old Wu people, but those young people who were suitable and merged into the Wu State not long ago.
Otherwise, with the population of Wu State, how could it withstand the toss of Qingji?
And now, the reason why Qingji said such things is not because he wants to condemn himself.
Qingji wants to admit this fact, and then change the next national policy of Wu State......
"Where's the go?"
"The minister is here!"
The cadre whose name was called immediately stood up with a tooth wat in his hand.
"King Wu's new palace, how long will it take to finish?"
"Back to the king, there will be about three months before the new palace will be completed!"
The Wu Palace, which has been built for more than a year, has not yet been completed, so you can imagine how big a project it is.
However, Qingji's attention at this time was not on the new palace.
