The Imperial Study.

Li Wenhou left, and Li Chenan suddenly felt comfortable.

It's not easy to deal with this half-old stubborn guy!

After all, his surname is still Li, after all, he can't write two Li characters in one stroke.

Either way, he had the right intentions.

With him guarding the household department, Ning Guo's money bag will be more stable.

The imperial court needs such a minister, and although it is not good to speak, it is the country that is beneficial in the end.

He didn't blame Li Wenhou, in the current history, whether Li Wenhou or Wen Boiled Rain, they didn't know the direction of the future development of society.

I don't know about those advanced products, as well as commercial marketing methods.

And he is not better than them, but he has thousands of years of knowledge and insights.

If we want to emancipate the productive forces, the most important thing is to emancipate the mind.

I will go to Changle Palace in two days, and the major affairs of the country are mainly handled by the cabinet.

Cabinet members must have a clearer understanding of the future direction of a country.

Then you have to know what it is, and why it is so.

"Grandpa Wei,"

"The old slave is here!"

"You go and call Lord Nian, Lord Su, and Lord Qi."

"The old slave obeys."

"Wait a minute...... After you called them, you went to the Old Rain Building, and told Song Ting that Xiang Qingyun and Zhuang Dingchun would be released. ”

"Then go to the Criminal Department to inform Yu Hongtu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and say...... He said that after my interrogation, the two of them were not guilty. ”

"There you go."

Gonggong Wei bowed and retreated, and not long after, Su Yi'an and the three of them came to the imperial study.

On this day, in this imperial study, Li Chenan did his first serious thing since he ascended the throne!

He told Wen Zhuanyu and the four of them in detail what Ning Guo needed to do in the next five years.

It involves many fields such as economy, military, and education.

Economically, how to turn what the Academy of Sciences has researched into commodities and put them on the market.

This brings us to the question of choice -

Is it set up by the state, run by officials, and sold by merchants?

It is still in the form of technology licensing, selling those technologies to private businessmen, who will fund and set up their own workshops for their own production and management, and also sell them in the market.

On this issue, Wen Boiled Rain advocates that the state should take the lead.

"The minister thinks that since the emperor said that the things that come out of the Academy of Sciences are rare things, they have unique market competitiveness,"

"Nachen's understanding is that it is not worried about the market not accepting it, that is, the market is not worried."

"Then the profit will be guaranteed."

"In that case, the state is in charge, and all profits are owned by the state, doesn't this solve the problem of an empty treasury?"

Su Yi'an's family is a Jiangnan businessman, and he has a different opinion on this, but it is difficult to express his position at this time.

Li Chenan looked at his appearance of wanting to speak and smiled slightly:

"Speak your mind!"

"Don't worry so much, just like we used to chat at the Three Flavors Library."

Su Yi'an sighed for three breaths, "Then the minister will talk about the minister's opinion." ”

"Although the state can go to the treasury of all profits, it is just ...... The state came to do these businesses, and the minister thought it was still a little inappropriate. ”

He looked at Wen Boiling Rain and said:

"I won't talk about the disadvantages of competing with the people."

"If the state comes to build and manage, then the funds for construction must be the people who come out of the treasury and manage them...... It must be an official of the imperial court. ”

"In this case, wouldn't every workshop be established with a number of production management officials?"

"According to the emperor, there will be a lot of new things in the Academy of Sciences in the next five years, or all kinds of things......"

"That means building different workshops and appointing more officials."

"In three or five years, how many officials will increase in the imperial court?"

He looked at Li Chenan again, and said with a serious face:

"The minister is more worried about the efficiency of these officials!"

"They are readers, and they can easily read poetry and articles, but they can also use commodity production...... The minister asked himself, although I am an official residence, but I am blind to this kind of thing of production and operation! ”

"This is the reason why when Chen left Kyoto and returned home, my father did not hand over the family business to me to take care of."

"He has a point."

"You are a scholar, and what you can do is only related to learning."

"Business also requires knowledge, but it has nothing to do with your knowledge."

"The most taboo thing in business is for the layman to guide the insider, and the layman can concentrate on learning and humbly listen to the opinions of the insider.

"One wrong decision is enough to deal a fatal blow to the family's business."

"So...... You still go to teach and educate people. ”

"That's how I went to Jingyang County to teach."

"In the same way, the main responsibility of the imperial court is the overall management of the country, not to engage in production and operation in person."

"No one can guarantee that those officials appointed will be able to listen to the opinions of the craftsmen with an open mind, after all, they are officials, and those craftsmen are the people!"

"Even if the people are right, the official is wrong when he says he is wrong!"

"Mastering a workshop is also a kind of power!"

"When the number of state-controlled workshops gradually increased, the imperial court needed more manpower to supervise them, and it also needed to evaluate the profits generated by those workshops, and so on."

"We all need people!"

"There are more and more officials, and the ministers are afraid that there will be more and more things to bully and dominate the market."

"After all, businessmen don't dare to fight officials."

"Minister...... This is thinking about this issue from the perspective of a scholar, maybe it is biased, or it depends on the emperor's opinion. ”

Li Chenan nodded approvingly:

"Your worries are very reasonable."

"In the future, the things of the Academy of Sciences will be handed over to private businessmen to invest and operate by way of competitive bidding."

"But the state can't sell it and leave it alone!"

"The state must guarantee the interests of businessmen after winning the bid!"

"This involves a patent issue......

It was another topic that they couldn't understand, Li Chenan explained the kung fu of half a cup of tea, and gave the power of patent protection and enforcement to the Criminal Department.

It is carried out with the cooperation of the Imperial City Division.

"The Criminal Department may legislate for patents, whether it is a patent of the Academy of Sciences or a private patent, once the application is approved, after the Criminal Department files the record, it will be protected by national law."

"But for the sake of orderly competition, there needs to be a limit on how long all patents can be protected, such as...... Twenty years. ”

"Leave this legislation to the Criminal Department, do it now, and show it to me when it's ready."

After a pause, Li Chenan said again:

"Next, let's talk about the education plan for the next five years."

"I have mentioned this question more than once, but education is a huge expense, and now our economic strength in Ningguo does not allow it."

"But it can be included in the new five-year plan......"

This time, Li Chenan elaborated on his plan above education.

On the issue of education, he spoke for three hours!

Lunch was delivered from the Imperial Dining Room!

After that, it was almost dusk.

For Li Chen'an's plan, Wen Zhuanyu and the four of them were stunned!

They never expected this project to be so big!

Li Chenan actually hopes to reduce the number of illiterate people in Ningguo by half in the next five years!

In the next ten years, it is necessary to popularize national schools to the township level, and let everyone in Ningguo be literate!

The key is...... Gratis!

No tuition fee!

This......

How much money does it take?

If Li Wenhou was here, I'm afraid he would have jumped up at this time.

"Ten years of trees, 100 years of people!"

"Education is the century-old plan of Ningguo!"

"Only after everyone in Ningguo is literate, reads, reasonable, and can think about problems independently, can Ningguo be truly strong!"

"As for making money...... It's all about education! ”

"This year will pass soon, next year, that is, the twenty-sixth year of Zhaohua,"

"I decided to change the year to Zhen'an, for the first year of Zhen'an!"

"It's a new starting point for Ningguo!"
