Chapter 81: The Crisis Is Coming

Empress Changsun's words woke up Li Shimin, is the establishment of the school in the steel mill important for money?

What matters is the universality of education.

As soon as this factory-plus-school model is feasible, it means that it can be replicated, and this can start the popularization of education.

Li Shimin said that if I were a member of the family now, then I would definitely resist this kind of behavior.

But now that I am the emperor, the whole world is mine, I want to cut the family, cut the monopoly of education, then the best way is to pile up the education of the people.

As long as there are more geniuses among the people, the family's monopoly on officialdom will be broken.

You don't see Wei Qing and Huo Guang, one literary and one martial, completely breaking through the ceiling of class solidification.

However, Li Shimin still cut off the girls' school.

A sum of money was allocated to Li Kuan from the steel mill and Li Kuan was asked to set up a girls' school alone.

And this girls' school has nothing to do with the steel mill school.

The steel mill school does not say that it does not recruit girls, but the students sent are chosen by the workers' families themselves, of course, if you have money, you can send a few more.

The steel mill school only gives you a free place for each household, and if you have money, you can pay for it yourself.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun finalized the model of the steel mill school in bed.

Empress Changsun herself subsidized an additional part of the money for the girls' school, which was paid by her on behalf of the royal family, and it was every year.

Li Kuan, who got the reply, always felt that Empress Changsun seemed to see something.

But if her thoughts are known to Empress Changsun, she will either let the eldest grandson family imitate them, or inform Li Shimin, instead of following some as she is now.

In the end, Li Kuan could only attribute it to the fact that Empress Changsun was following with the idea of playing two shots with and without dates.

However, this made Li Kuan can't help but laugh at himself, I am also seen in the eyes of others now.

Yu Zhining was very dissatisfied with Li Shimin's behavior of agreeing to Li Kuan's steel mill school, he thought that this kind of behavior was too much of a loss, the investment was huge, the rate of return was unknown, and it was not stable enough, and if the steel mill was rich enough, it would be better to use it to rectify the border army and prepare for the conquest of the world.

For this reason, Yu Zhining sent several letters to the central government, but was called back by the group of people in the central government.

Yu Zhining was not convinced, but what the central government gave was that the steel mill school had reference value and was doing pilot work for universal education.

These words made Yu Zhining silent, if you are running for universal education, then I, Yu Zhining, have nothing to say, I can only say one word, I wish you success.

Some officials thought the Maison would block the establishment of the school.

Li Shimin specially found Li Gang, Kong Yingda and others for this reason, so that these people could stand up and speak for this matter when necessary.

It's a pity that there is no hindrance in the slightest, and even some families have donated some books.

This made Li Shimin scratch his head.

Li Kuan had some kind of guess, but he didn't say it, and started to build this school wholeheartedly.

Li Kuan of the boys' school doesn't care, he can do anything.

Anyway, Kong Yingda came over to be the principal, just follow the template of Lingnan School.

Li Kuan cares about girls' schools.

The question of the teacher of the girls' school, Li Kuan thought of the two beauties in early summer and early autumn, and then Li Kuan thought of the grandmothers in the palace.

Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, directly rehire those retired grandmothers in the palace and re-employ them.

This kind of thing, Empress Changsun strongly supported it, and directly sent a group of palace teaching grandmothers.

They specialize in teaching girls skills such as laundry, cooking, housekeeping, etc.

As for the issue of knowledge, it is up to Kong Yingda's part-time teacher to take care of it.

After all, during this period, Li Kuan really couldn't find a female master like Li Qingzhao who was both literary and gambling.

Although Li Qingzhao drank and gambled and divorced, her literary achievements are indeed at the level of a big man.

From the fact that she wrote lyrics and scolded Li Jing, Liu Yong, Zhang Ziye, Song Zijing brothers, Shen Tang, Yuan Jiang, Chao Ciying, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong, He Zhu, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian and others, but she can still leave a name for eternity, you know that her literary achievements are really amazing.

Li Kuan felt that if there was such a female literati in the Tang Dynasty, then she would definitely invite her to be the principal of the girls' school.

Unfortunately not.

The famous women in the Tang Dynasty were often Gao Yang and the like.

Despite all these problems, Li Kuan still established the girls' school.

A large number of civilian girls were recruited into it.

Kong Yingda was very dissatisfied with Li Kuan's behavior of worrying about the girls' school but not the boys' school, and came to him to question.

"Female over male?"

Faced with questioning, Li Kuan replied directly: "If a group of big men still need me to worry about, wouldn't it be a shame." ”

Kong Yingda was uncomfortable by this sentence, there was no way, he felt that what Li Kuan said was more or less reasonable.

"Dr. Kong, let's talk about the problems you encountered when you came to me."

Standing in the school under construction of the girls' school, Li Kuan asked with a smile.

That's right, the school is still under construction, the school has already opened, and a group of grandmothers are taking the girls to teach the girls with the actual situation of building a school.

For example, the use of labor, materials, time, and so on.

These things, which can be attributed to math problems, were directly taught to those girls by the mothers using special education methods.

In the words of the grandmothers, if you start a family in the future, if you separate from your parents-in-law, you need to build a new house, and don't be cut corners when the time comes.

Kong Yingda faced Li Kuan's straight ball, sighed, and said bluntly: "Yu Zhining embezzled the money that the steel mill was going to approve for the boys' school, and I don't have the money to pay the workers now. ”

"Yu Zhining, the scum of education."

Li Kuan was shocked by this sentence, Lao Yu really dared to do it.

Is this a practical action to stop the construction of the steel mill school?

However, Li Kuan then frowned, no, will the workers of the steel mill recognize this situation?

You know, the people who come to school are their children, will they agree with Yu Zhining's behavior?

If they knew that the school was not built because of Yu Zhining, it was possible to directly block the road and kill Yu Zhining in the middle of the night.

After thinking about it comprehensively, Li Kuan felt that Lao Yu was not like a person who would offend a group of people.

After all, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, you are bullied by the bureaucracy and still have a place to reason, but if you are an official and are beaten to death by the people while walking on the street, the first thing that people who come to investigate the case will check is whether you have done something unreasonable.

Old Yu has gone through the world, understands people's hearts, and knows this situation, how can he dare to divert the money used by the steel mill to build the steel mill school.

Li Kuan felt that there was a secret and decided to ask in person.

Kong Yingda also followed, anyway, he went to the steel mill to ask for money, and the official in charge of accounts at the steel mill replied that his money was taken away by Yu Zhining.

On the way to the government, Li Kuan saw soldiers with missing arms and legs along the way, and a sense of unease surged in his heart.

Something went wrong.

Kong Yingda's face also became solemn.

What's going on?

The steel mill was built outside Shuofang City, and the school was also established outside the city, and the two have been busy with the school recently, and they have not entered Shuofang City for half a month.

At this time, when I saw the wounded soldiers in the city, the first thing I felt was that the Turks were coming.
