After Yang Yun left happily, Li Kuan was about to start his next job when the little official reported.

"Your Highness, the shopkeeper of your Chamber of Commerce is here."

Li Kuan frowned, why did Shopkeeper Lin come to the mansion to look for him, didn't he always wait for him to go to his house after work to find him.

"Bring him here."

Although there were doubts in his heart, Li Kuan still summoned the shopkeeper Lin.

As soon as Shopkeeper Lin came in, he hurriedly saluted.

Li Kuan waved his hand impatiently, signaling him not to engage in these false things.

"Why did you come to the government to look for me?"

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, "Because the villain is here on behalf of many businessmen this time, it can barely be regarded as a business." ”

Raising his eyebrows, Li Kuan was interested, and he was barely on business, so it was interesting.

"What's the matter?"

"We, the merchants who are based in the Western Regions, want to send our children to the private school opened by the princess."

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows, this matter can also be classified into official affairs, you are more or less excessive.

"The word private in that school refers to the establishment of individuals, you know?"

Shopkeeper Lin was puzzled by what Li Kuan meant, and nodded, I understand.

"Since it's a person, it has a ghost relationship with official business, you can go directly to the princess."

"Don't look for me."

When Shopkeeper Lin heard this, he said even more suspiciously: "But you are the king of Chu, and your business should be regarded as a business matter." ”

These words directly silenced Li Kuangan, okay, what you said makes sense, there is nothing wrong with you saying this.

In this feudal era, the entire Tang Dynasty theoretically belonged to the Li family, and Li Kuan, as the king of Chu, was a shareholder of the Tang Dynasty.

In Datang, the affairs of Datang's shareholders are indeed not private matters.

It's almost like the selfless affairs of the heavenly family.

"The teaching fee for admission is the real tuition fee, not the kind of sponsorship money in Datang."

"There are my calculations in this private school, and the tuition fee is related to whether the students of the people can enroll in the future, and the operation of the school is in it, you can't mess around."

"The teachers in it will not only be from my house, but also some outsiders will be recruited in the future, their family background may not be very good, but you are not allowed to bribe."

"Understood?"

"If any of you merchants, who makes trouble, then I will send him down to meet his ancestors and fathers."

Li Kuan's words made Shopkeeper Lin swallow a mouthful of saliva, nodded wildly, and expressed his understanding.

He didn't expect Li Kuan to be so serious.

He came today just to express his support for him with Li Kuan and others.

Otherwise, they just let their wife go to talk to Wu Mei and the others.

I didn't come here to let Li Kuan know their loyalty.

As a result, who would have thought that Li Kuan would say such words.

Shopkeeper Lin suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he looked at Li Kuan in shock:

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, you want to popularize education in the name of private schools."

"Spread the money invested in the construction of national schools to individuals."

Li Kuan looked at Shopkeeper Lin with satisfaction, he was worthy of being the layout and controller of his Western Regions industry, and his perspective on the problem was different.

Li Kuan nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I do think so." ”

"If this idea is successfully implemented, there will be a large number of civilian officials."

Historically, it was the Ming Dynasty that did this, and those private schools were similar operations.

The foundation of the Donglin Party is Donglin College, and the students from Donglin College are united above the court, condensed into a rope, and become a force above the court.

What Li Kuan wanted to plagiarize was such a private school system, which was not established by the state, but by individuals.

In order to prevent the emergence of collegiate political forces, schools were divided into hierarchies, like elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities in later generations, and the minimum age for participating in the imperial examinations was divided, and the courses taught in schools were divided into details.

Send a large number of students directly to the engineering department, and they are not allowed to become officials.

This is a huge project, Li Kuan has to operate little by little, and the Western Regions is a pilot here.

For Li Kuan, this is a great advantage of staying away from the court, on his own territory, he can do whatever he wants, and live freely.

To put it mildly, he robbed the people's girls on the street today, and as long as no one went to Chang'an to complain, he didn't have anything to do.

Of course, if someone sues Chang'an, then as long as he does not rebel, he will have to accept Chang'an's punishment.

Shopkeeper Lin didn't expect Li Kuan to really want to popularize education through other people's hands, he just guessed casually.

"But His Royal Highness the King of Chu, have you ever considered that you don't charge tuition indiscriminately, if others set up private schools, they will charge tuition fees indiscriminately, or charge other messy fees, so as to achieve the purpose of collecting money."

"And with the rapid popularization of schools, the teachers who teach are inevitably not all moral people, there will definitely be people who fish in troubled waters, and then there will be people who take bribes in the name of teaching, or some people will come up with a batch of books to assist learning to sell."

Shopkeeper Lin just thought about it a little, and thought of a bunch of means to make money.

Li Kuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Shopkeeper Lin, you old guy, how do you think about the bad in advance, not the good.

Shopkeeper Lin smiled awkwardly, but he straightened up again, looked at Li Kuan squarely, and put on an attitude of consideration for the king.

Li Kuan pondered for a while and sighed: "I know everything you said, and I know it well, but I can't give up eating because of choking." ”

"Universal education is a big project, and it is a big project for students to learn to come out, but if the country wants to develop, the society wants to progress, and science and technology want to advance, a large number of talents must be needed."

"Compared with the geniuses who appear casually, the hard talents who have accumulated a strong educational foundation are the most important."

"Moreover, with enough education and an easy life, it is also easier for geniuses to appear."

Li Kuan didn't understand what Shopkeeper Lin said, in his eyes, this was the gap between him and Li Kuan.

As for saying that Li Kuan is talking nonsense and fooling people, he doesn't think about it.

"The villain just tried his best to ask questions and try to contribute to the plan of the King of Chu."

Shopkeeper Lin's posture was very low.

Li Kuan waved his hand, signaling that he had nothing to do and retreated.

Shopkeeper Lin immediately got up and saluted and retired, no longer staying.

After he left, Li Kuan wrote down the problem raised by Shopkeeper Lin just now, wrote down the solutions he thought of, and then packed up his things and got off work.

There are not many things in the Western Regions now, everything is running according to plan, and some small problems will be solved by the people below, and they can't get to Li Kuan.

Li Kuan returned home and went straight to the residence of Wu Mei and others.

"Is your private school going to admit students?"

Wu Mei and the others were completely confused by these words, and Chen Xi next to him said with a smile: "Did my Royal Highness the King of Chu get any news?" ”

"We've just posted an admissions announcement."

Li Kuan raised his eyebrows and told the shopkeeper Lin about looking for him.

"I really didn't expect that our enrollment would be stained with the light of the King of Chu."

"We couldn't be happier."

Ask for a wave of various tickets.

Author, I'm too poor.
