"My Da Wu never raises idlers!"

Lick gives a compelling reason.

After all, since Qingji implemented the reform, it has been advertised that "Da Wu does not raise idlers", and Wu rewarded cultivation and warfare, and treated people who were lazy and lazy, which was deeply hated.

If the lazy person still refuses to change his teachings, he will be executed in serious cases......

This is not a lie!

Now, Li Ke began to express his views on this reason.

"In my Dawu, the scholars of Guozijian are free of room and board, and those who are excellent in character and learning can even get scholarships."

"However, they are free of room and board, which is understandable, after all, the scholars of Guozijian have six majors: politics, soldiers, industry, agriculture, medicine, and business, and their education system is generally one to two years, and then they can quickly get employed and contribute their own efforts to the construction of Dawu."

"And the students of junior high school, high school, and university, they are still young, and they have to study hard for many years. Except for reading, they are basically useless, what is the difference between them and 'idlers'? ”

"Why does the state keep millions of idlers?"

Hearing this, Prince Heng frowned and said, "Lord Li's words are wrong. ”

"These students are studying for the prosperity of my Great Wu, how can you classify them as idlers?"

Li Ke shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, can you tell me what other benefits the students have for my Da Wu during their studies?" ”

“……”

Prince Heng was silent.

It's not that they look down on the students, but that if the students are under closed military management, they can only go back to help their families do some farm work on Saturdays and Sundays.

"Your Majesty!"

Li Ke knelt on the floor with a tooth wat in his hand, and said to Qingji: "The minister thinks that if you have to implement this kind of full-time academic education, the accommodation fee can be waived, but the student's food fee must be charged!" ”

"Since Your Majesty's throne came to the world, I have prospered, hidden wealth from the people, and given the people of the world I don't know how much welfare, how much grace!"

"Not to mention anything else, I am a native of Wu, and the lowest standard salary for Chinese people is 5,000 yuan."

"Even if it's a dung digger or a street sweeper, it's not less than 5,000 yuan a month."

"People who enter the workshop are paid between 6,000 and 20,000 yuan a month."

"Are they poor? Not poor! ”

"In a family, the man can earn money and the woman can earn money."

"Men and women weave, and the income of a farmer who cultivates the land is not low a month, and the income of a woman who works at home, or who works in a workshop to make clothes, is not low."

The minister went deep into the people and investigated many households and learned that the minimum income of ordinary people is 15,000 yuan a month. And their deposit is even more than 100,000 yuan. ”

"What's the point in letting them take out some of the money to pay for their son's food?"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

As soon as Li Ke's words fell, many ministers and officials stood up and agreed with his opinion.

"Do the second and third sons still have any objections?"

Qingji, who has been on the dragon chair, sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, looked around for a week and asked.

"Father, the sons think that what Lord Li said is biased!"

Prince Heng still didn't agree with Li Ke's proposition, he thought for a while, and then said: "According to the minimum standard, a student is four hundred and fifty yuan a month, accounting for about thirty-third of the monthly income of ordinary people, which doesn't seem to be much. ”

"However, don't forget, father, my people of Dawu believe in having more children and more blessings, and there is a policy of encouraging childbirth, so they are vigorous in giving birth, young couples have at least one child in two years, and middle-aged couples are not far behind."

"When children reach the legal school age, there are as few as three or four or as many as seven or eight in a family!"

"If you make a compromise, count five, and a family will have 2,250 yuan for a month's food expenses for their children at school. It accounts for one-sixth of a household's monthly income. ”

"The family still has various expenses, governing the family is like governing the country, only the children's food expenses are so much, and the children are afraid that the people will complain......"

This account is not unknown, and I was shocked when I counted it.

It is true that what Prince Heng said is a bit exaggerated, but it is basically in line with the facts.

And this is exactly in line with the consistent concept of Legalist ministers such as Deng Xi and Li Ke.

Weak!

If Li Shu lives too nourishingly, where is there any motivation?

Seeing that Qingji seemed to be persuaded by Prince Heng, Deng Xi couldn't sit still, and immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if you have to implement such a full-time academic education, it is not impossible to have free room and board. ”

"My Dawu's commercial tax, land rent tax, checkpoint tax, mouth tax, calculation tax and other taxes are too low."

"I think that some more can be levied to maintain the free food and lodging of the students."

Deng Xi's proposition profoundly implements what is called "wool comes out of sheep".

Dawu's current taxes are indeed very low.

It's ridiculously low!

Otherwise, the financial revenue of the Great Wu State Treasury in a year will definitely not be more than seven or eight million taels of gold.

When Prince Heng saw Deng Xi proposing this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause, he couldn't help frowning, and said to Qingji: "Father, let's let the individual family bear the food expenses of the students." ”

"From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. The ministers are afraid that once the imperial court levies additional taxes, all the people in the world will have a lot of complaints, which will be detrimental to the society......"

"In fact, even if an ordinary family spends more than 2,000 yuan a month, it is harmless to use it as the food expenses of the children in the family."

"Erchen has investigated, and the monthly expenses of an ordinary family rarely exceed 3,000 yuan, and after calculation, each of them can save about 10,000 yuan."

The monthly income is 15,000 yuan, which is the money that ordinary people can earn.

It's already quite a lot.

It is understandable to spend one-sixth or one-seventh of your income to send your children to school.

After all, they can still have more than 100,000 dollars left all year round, which is a surplus!

That's it, it's just the statistics on the surface of the Dawu household department, as well as the data obtained from the visit and survey, in fact, many Chinese people have a side job.

Qingji thought about it for a while, and still thought that he couldn't blindly be too good to the people, otherwise what he would leave to the successor would be a mess, and sooner or later something big would happen.

As Prince Heng said, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Now that Dawu is prosperous, every household has saved hundreds of thousands of money, and once the Great Wu Empire weakens, the national strength is sluggish, and it is difficult to return, the people who feel at a loss may rebel......

"After the implementation of full-time academic education, the accommodation expenses of students will be borne by the state, and the food expenses will be borne by individual families. If there are more than three students in the family, the food expenses of the remaining children will be borne by the state. ”
