Chapter 458: Methods for Forcing Qin

Ganluo realized that it was not good, and now that the First Emperor cultivated merchants, if there was any more nine-year compulsory system, then the pride of their nobility would really disappear.

Feng Quji also had such an awareness, and immediately said: "Sir, although the idea of a nine-year compulsory education legal system is good, it must be very difficult to implement, right?" ”

"It's very difficult in the early stage, because you have to build a school, you have to develop textbooks, you have to find teachers, etc., and it must be difficult for a while.

However, with the strength of the country, the education industry is becoming more and more mature, because more and more students are graduating, so there are more and more teachers, and the people's lives are getting better and better, basically everyone can read. Qin An said.

Ying Zheng asked: "Is the nine-year compulsory system mandatory by the state or arbitrary?" ”

This point is very important for Ying Zheng, if it is compulsory, then the imperial court must introduce coercive measures, if it is arbitrary, then it is really arbitrary.

"It's kind of mandatory." Qin An said, "Because studying is the only way out, it is impossible to give up, I said, the school is divided into six years of primary school, three years of middle school, and three years of high school." The university is divided into three years and four years, then four years of graduate school, and another four years of doctoral study, after which, if you want to study, you can continue to study, and there is no end to learning. m.

In addition, elementary school is the basics, middle school is more esoteric, high school is divided into liberal arts and science, university majors are selected, graduate school is to carry out the major to the end, and doctoral study is to thoroughly integrate the major, and even have your own ideas.

The nine-year compulsory education system is actually to let the people learn the basics, which can be applied to life.

For example, literacy requires not only knowing words, but also knowing the meaning of words. There is also arithmetic, at least to know the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so that you will not miscalculate the money when buying things. ”

"Yes, then if you are in Daqin, can you implement a nine-year compulsory education system?" Ying Zheng asked.

Qin An shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”

As if he saw hope, Gan Luo immediately asked, "Why is Sir so sure?" ”

Qin An looked at Gan Luo speechlessly, and said, "Isn't it obvious, the people can't live anymore, who will go to study."

If you want people to go to school, the prerequisite is to have money, which is not only tuition, but also three meals a day, as well as book fees, ink, brushes, and paper that are usually consumed.

Can ordinary people afford it, and if the court is allowed to bear it, can the court afford it? ”

Ying Zheng said: "I really can't afford it, so what do you say?" ”

Qin An said: "There is a way, but it can't be done overnight. For example, don't build too many schools at the beginning, just build one in the main city.

Then set the standard and let those nobles go to school, and some rich people, especially businessmen, who are not of high status in the first place, let them pay some more tuition, and then let them sponsor a few poor children's education.

It's not for free that businessmen fund those children. The imperial court could give them a policy to subsidize the children of five poor families, and allow the merchant to participate in the imperial examination with one child.

I am afraid that it is impossible for all businessmen in the world to refuse, especially those who have a lot of money and many children, and they will sponsor ten, twenty, or even a hundred children from poor families to study.

It's a pity that the Qin Dynasty didn't have the imperial examination system, the second didn't have that kind of businessman, the third court didn't have this consciousness, and the people didn't have this consciousness, and the only purpose in their hearts was to live. ”

Ying Zheng said: "It is an indisputable fact that the people are poor, and only by making the people rich can we think of anything else." ”

Qin An nodded and said, "Father-in-law is right, if it is really Great Qin, the first step is not to be anything else but to let the people be fed and clothed."

The second step is to alleviate poverty, that is, to promote business.

The third step is to develop technology, if there is money, we must develop technology, and if we have technology flow, we can promote production, and when production is high, the labor force will decline.

Step 4......"

Qin An said that if Great Qin wants to become strong and become a dynasty that is truly eternal, what to do in the first step and what to do in the second step.

Ying Zheng on the side, Li Si, Feng Qujian and others were used to it, only Gan Luo was stunned when he heard it, and the more he listened, the more shocked he became.

If this is implemented in the court, then Daqin will not be able to become rich and strong.

But will it work?

The first step is to stop the people from going hungry? It seems that it has been done, and the imperial court has new grains, especially potatoes and sweet potatoes, and now many people have started farming, and in less than three years, it will become popular throughout the country.

That's not all, there is also rice, which can yield 300 catties per mu and is very good as a staple food. I heard that rice was the staple food in Qin'an's era, and potatoes and sweet potatoes were vegetables or snacks.

There is also a second and third step, as if it can be successful.

"Sir." "I've heard that the world is big, and if a country wants to be rich, it needs to do business with other countries. ”

"Yes, it's called international trade." Qin An said, "The international business is at the level of tens of millions, which is very profitable.

The reason is that our labor is cheap, and it costs 10,000 to produce a thing in their own country, but in our country, it may only cost 1,000 or even 100. ”

"What is this for our people?" Ying Zheng was furious.

Qin An immediately comforted: "Father-in-law, don't be angry, this is a market inevitability, who makes us have more people, 1.4 billion people, and it is impossible for our own country's enterprises to have jobs for 1.4 billion people."

As I said, farming in the outside world is different from here, where labor is still used, and the outside world is already mechanical.

Just like the generator, you see, I use an artificial generator at home, but in the village I use a steam generator.

One needs to be exerted all the time, and the other only needs to add coal to him occasionally, and the difference between the two sides is very large. ”

Ying Zheng bowed his head and said: "But what does this have to do with the fact that other countries give so little wages to the people of our country? ”

Qin An said: "This is that the market is scarce and expensive, and their country has a small population, so the price of asking them to work is high."

We have a large population, and in order to solve the employment problem, our country will give favorable conditions to introduce foreign capital, that is, foreigners' money, to open factories in China, that is, workshops.

Their factories are generally large enough to employ tens of thousands of people. This greatly reduces the burden on the state.

From ancient times to the present, the reason why the people overthrew their court is not because there is no food.

But after solving the problem of eating, other problems arise, such as the quality of life.

As the so-called lust and lust, if they don't work for the people, they will find ways to get more money for themselves. ”

Some people died, but not completely......
