Zhang Anshi and the others are now standing at the highest point of the court, and naturally they all hope that the family will stand tall and are unwilling to accept accidents.

This imperial examination system may bring surprises.

"The Renzi system involves the two governments of the Nine Secretaries and the Lieqing, the ministers of the counties and states of the world, and the ...... Cabinet members such as us are involved. ”

"To say a boastful word, we are the foundation of the stability of the world, and the county officials will not fail to see this."

"Therefore, the county officials dare not risk the disapproval of the court."

"However, if the county official does this, it will not only be a trivial matter related to me and a few other households, but a matter of the safety of the world."

"If the county magistrate doesn't see it clearly, we will admonish him."

Zhang Anshi stood up and finished saying this with his hands behind his back, and the rest of the people also stood up, nodded in unison, and reached a unified opinion.

Before they could say anything more, Fan Ke had already run over from the courtyard.

"A few elders, Your Majesty asked you to enter the palace to discuss matters."

"Xie Xiaozhijun passed the word, I'll go now." Zhang Anshi said, and took a few people to stride towards the greenhouse hall.

……

After Zhang Anshi, the four cabinet scholars, walked into the greenhouse hall, they saw four foreign court officials sitting on the couch on the left side.

The expressions on their faces were mixed with a slight mixture of embarrassment and displeasure, as well as some jealousy.

Today, the Son of Heaven sent Zhang Anshi and others to the Greenhouse Palace, obviously to discuss political affairs with them, but after arriving, they were stopped at the door.

Coming in at this moment, the Son of Heaven has been discussing with the foreign officials for more than half an hour, and I am afraid that many things have already been finalized in advance, and the cabinet scholars are dispensable.

As Liu He thought, Zhang Anshi did have some worries - worried that the cabinet would be completely hollowed out one day, wouldn't they also be hollowed out.

Although they were worried in their hearts, they disguised it very well, did not show it too obviously, saluted the Son of Heaven as usual, and then sat down on the couch.

As soon as they sat down, they saw the "Zhen Society" and "Imperial Examination Meeting" on the case: they looked at each other and nodded slightly, it seems that they guessed correctly today.

"A few Aiqing, the second round of the new policy is this school system and the imperial examination system, and I called you here today just to hear your opinions, so as not to make any mistakes."

"Let's take a look at the "Zhen Society" first." Liu He did not lightly speak.

"Yui!" Several people hurriedly replied

Then, several cabinet scholars gathered around and read the "Essentials of the Zhen Society" together, and Liu He explained to them the pass as before.

Their expressions were no different from those of Su Wu and the others: when they heard the grand wish of the Son of Heaven, they were all shocked, and they turned to look at the Son of Heaven with an incredible gaze.

In the midst of the shock, there was more worry, especially the "Zou Lu Confucian" Wei Xian wanted to speak several times, and his displeasure was beyond words.

"This is roughly the case with this school system, and the few Aiqing present today, whether they are Chinese and foreign officials, are all well-educated people......"

"I would like to ask you Aiqing, what are the omissions and flaws in this school system?" When Liu He said these two words, he just looked at the cabinet minister sitting on the right side.

Zhang Anshi did not speak immediately, but looked left and right first, and it seemed that they didn't want to be the first to stand up and express their dissent.

"Zhang Qing, you are a little late today, if you have any questions, just ask, I and a few foreign officials will give you an answer."

Will the Son of Heaven and the foreign officials give an answer to the cabinet? Doesn't that mean that the foreign court officials have reached an agreement with the Son of Heaven? So what kind of fart is their cabinet?

Zhang Anshi didn't dare to complain, so he could only secretly slander in his heart, the Son of Heaven really wanted to let this foreign court official check and balance them, the cabinet courtiers.

After another short silence, it was the chief university scholar Zhang Anshi who "stood up".

"Your Majesty, there are ready-made school houses everywhere, and it doesn't cost much to renovate them, but ......"

"But to distribute 'school food' to all officials and students, it will cost 500 million yuan a year, which is not a small amount." Zhang Anshi took the lead in asking.

"I've thought about it, this money can be half of the Shaofu, and half of the Dasi Nong......"

"Since last year, all counties and countries have begun to implement new agricultural tools, and the land rent can be increased by 30%, and the big farmers will have at least one billion more money in input, which is more than enough to spend here."

This amount was calculated by the previous chief secretary for a long time, and I have to say that this person is still very competent as a reckoner.

At this moment, Tian Yannian, who was involved in the corruption case, has already been executed by the palace, and it is estimated that he should still be imprisoned in Yongxiang.

"Zhang Qing, in this way, this money should be enough, right?" Liu He asked with a smile.

The Son of Heaven would rather take out money and food from the Shaofu to run a school, which is simply a great benevolent government, how can Zhang Anshi use "lack of money" to prevaricate?

"Your Majesty has the world in mind, is extremely generous, and thinks for the long term, and does not dare to have different intentions." Zhang Anxin replied with oral refuge.

There was only a brief silence in the hall for a moment, and Liu De then stood up.

"It's a good thing that Your Majesty wants to run a school, but where can I find so many books?" Liu De asked.

"Yu worry-free, you are a master craftsman, you can talk to your uncle about this matter." Liu He still respectfully refers to Liu De as his uncle.

"Report to Your Majesty, return to Liu Ge Lao, in the past six months, the workers and officials of each county have been able to make paper, which can meet the ...... of each county for their own use."

"And the people have also begun to appear paper mills, in today's Han, this paper has become cheaper and cheaper."

"A good piece of rice paper is only 30 yuan, and a zhang of straw paper only costs 10 yuan, and ordinary people can afford it."

"So even if you copy a book like before, it costs a lot less than it used to be."

This is the reason why Liu He does not hide papermaking as a secret art in the palace, as the Son of Heaven, the whole world is his, why hide it for a few dollars?

If the papermaking technique was kept secret and only used as a means of making money, the Shaofu could make tens of millions of dollars, but now there is not enough paper to promote change.

If you want to be a businessman, you naturally have to enjoy the secret arts; If we want to change the world, we need to promote technological innovation.

As the Son of Heaven, he has to be from a high position, how can he just collect an extra three or five buckets?

"What's more, the printing workshop can now print 300 books a day, and more than 100,000 books a year."

"But Weichen thinks that this amount is not enough, in order to let the people who learn from Xiang can buy cheap books......"

"Wechen can make a vow in front of His Majesty that within three years, the Printing Workshop will be able to print a thousand books a day!"

Yu Wuwu gave his answer categorically, and this number shocked everyone to close their mouths.
