Chapter 218: Elementary School

First of all, officials in the DPRK and China vetoed Wei Zining's idea on the grounds that there were not so many taels of silver in the treasury and could not provide the funds for so many towns to open primary schools.

But Su Hengyu and Wei Zining have been prepared for this, they have done business all over the entire Great Wei over the years, and even some small countries around them have shops and caravans they have opened.

After so many years of accumulation, it is not impossible to support this matter.

But Su Hengyu and the two are not only hard but thankless.

Wei Zining said directly in front of the courtiers: "I know the hard work of household officials, but teaching me the people of Great Wei to read and write, and know etiquette, righteousness and shame, isn't it exactly what you Aiqing should do as a Great Wei official?" Officials have the responsibility of educating the people, and by proposing this plan, you are helping you solve this problem. Therefore, Gu thought that one third of the money from the DPRK would be paid by the court, one third would be paid by himself, and the remaining one-third would be collected from the people. ”

"It would be better if there were officials who were willing to give generously. When the funds were raised, the orphans would personally write inscriptions for those who donated the funds, and have people erect a monument next to the girls' school to commemorate their good deeds......"

In addition, Su Hengyu and Wei Zining also discussed the next reward method, so that those rich businessmen were willing to give the money.

But there is no need to tell these officials about this for the time being, after all, many of the businesses they have started secretly, and there is really no need to let these people know how much industry they have behind their backs.

Wei Zining has said that in addition to raiding the family in recent years, the tax collection of Dawei has also been very good.

Especially at the border where Su Hengyu is located, the amount of taxes offered in recent years is even more amazing. If at this time, the officials of the household department cried poor again, saying that they couldn't come up with the money, let alone being too female, Su Hengyu would be able to stand up and ask the household department to take out the account book and confront it.

The people of the DPRK and China are now very aware of Su Hengyu's ability, because she not only knows how to govern the place, but also knows how to run a business.

Over the years, whenever there was a business involving Emperor Wei, Su Hengyu took out the account book and showed it to the other party.

She is very good at keeping accounts, and the forms she uses are clear and straightforward.

Every time a new account book was presented, Emperor Wei would pull the officials of the household department to read it together, and while reading it, he praised Su Hengyu for her ability, saying that the accounts she sorted out were clearer and simpler than those of the household department, so that people could know the problem at a glance.

After being secretly rubbed and beaten by Emperor Wei several times, Hubu Shangshu had to send a letter to Su Hengyu, asking her to teach Hubu the new bookkeeping method.

It is conceivable that the "disciples" who were taught by her can compare to Su Hengyu, the "master", in bookkeeping?

Once she gets the accounts of the household department and finds out something that should not be discovered, when the time comes, the matter will be big, and these officials will not have good fruit to eat.

Rather than ending up unlucky for everyone, it is better to give up some of the benefits at the beginning in exchange for your own safety.

Thinking of this, the Tobe waiter turned his head to look over, and happened to meet Su Hengyu's indescribable strange smile.

He suddenly shuddered, and didn't dare to look at Su Hengyu's face anymore.

In this way, the matter of the silver two was temporarily settled, and then an official stood up again, saying that if the lady wanted to open up the people's wisdom, she could only accept boys, and as for girls, she really did not need to go to elementary school.

Wei Zining looked at the person who stood up below, she still remembered that this person was one of the old stubborns who didn't care about becoming a princess.

"What does Aiqing mean by this, why do boys be allowed to go to school, but not girls?"

The old stubborn replied very indifferently: "Men can participate in the imperial examination in the future, and then serve the country." And the most important thing is that women are virtuous and obedient, and reading is not a necessary thing for them......"

"My lord's words are a bit biased." Without waiting for Wei Zining to speak, Su Hengyu was the first to stand up and retort, "Men are born with the opportunity to read, and they have more reading resources than women. And it is precisely because women were not allowed to study in the past that they should be allowed to study. ”

"Women can be married and taught children at home, so what is the use of them studying? and can't be an official. ”

Su Hengyu: "So, don't you think that Xia Guan is a woman, or do you not think that Xia Guan is an official in the DPRK and China?" Husband and son, the weight of these four words is not ordinary. Since the adults have tacitly agreed that the children in the family should be taught by women, how can they teach their children well in the future if they are not allowed to study hard and know more truths? ”

"You must know that smart parents may not be able to teach smart children, if you don't even read books, how can you educate talented children? It is precisely in order to cultivate more outstanding talents for our Dawei that more women are needed to read and write! If the adults think that this move of Her Royal Highness is wrong, then in order to make the Great Wei have a lot of talents in the future, it is better to change it to let the men who have studied stay at home to teach the children, and the women go out to make a living and make money! ”

Her last sentence can be said to be unrelenting, and the sentence is extremely harsh.

The old stubborn almost fell into anger when he heard this, but before he could make a move, Emperor Wei above preemptively interrupted the dispute between the two: "Okay, this matter will be done according to what the princess says." Since it was the idea that the princess came up with, and she herself gave thirty percent of the money, then the princess was responsible for this matter. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can contribute your own money and efforts to run your own primary school! ”

Emperor Wei made a final decision and completely finalized this matter.

The meaning of his words is obvious, the person in charge of this matter is Wei Zining, and it is up to her to do what she does.

Others who are not satisfied and do not want girls to go to school simply run their own primary schools and prevent girls from going to school.

But the premise is that they have to pay for the financial and human resources to build primary schools.

As soon as these words came out, the old stubborn also silently closed his mouth.

He naturally has the capital to open a primary school, but how can the influence of the one or two he open compare with Wei Zining's hundreds or even thousands?

If he opened more, the emperor would have reason to ask him where he got so much money, after all, with his money, no matter how good the family is, there shouldn't be so much money in hand.

Emperor Wei is now using a yang scheme, but there are only two ways in front of them - do what Wei Zining said, and endure today's anger. Or in order to compete for a momentary spirit, you may not be able to please you with money and efforts.

From this, they finally understood one thing, the Son of Heaven on the throne is really serious about cultivating his children, and wants to entrust the future of Dawei to her!
