"What a grand occasion it will be for all the people of the world to be enlightened by the saints."

The whole of the old party was suddenly drenched in nectar, and one by one they could not restrain their excitement.

The old party believed that it adhered to the way of the sages, but Fan Zheng's concept of free compulsory education spoke to their hearts, once all people went to school for free, it would be the most glorious moment of Confucianism.

"It's impossible! The Great Song Dynasty was already financially tight, and the court and the government were redundant and redundant, and the officials were redundant, so where did they have the spare money to open many public schools and worship so many masters. After Zhang Dun was shocked, he reacted and said.

Free compulsory education requires the imperial court to pay for the enrollment of children across the country, which is not a small amount.

In order to solve the crisis of the Great Song Dynasty, the New Party worked hard for 20 years and fought brutally with the old party, and now the Great Song Dynasty has only improved slightly.

If we add that the court will be burdened with hundreds of thousands of masters, I am afraid that all the efforts of the New Party will be in vain, and the Great Song Dynasty will once again fall into a financial crisis.

Fan Zhenglang said: "Therefore, free compulsory education will be divided into three steps, the first step of compulsory education in the whole city and the second step of compulsory education for all people can be achieved with only a small amount of money from the imperial court." Once the Great Song Dynasty dominates the world, there is no need for too many troops, and the army of 1.2 million will only need to be reduced by 30%, which may be able to supply the needs of free compulsory education. ”

The Manchu officials nodded slightly.

The largest expenditure of the Great Song Dynasty is the military expenditure of 1.2 million troops, accounting for almost seventy percent of the court's expenditure, if the Great Song Dynasty dominates the world, without the threat of Western Xia and Liao, there is naturally no need to support so many troops, and there will naturally be enough finance to provide free compulsory education.

"Theoretically, free and compulsory education is achievable." Zhao Xuping said excitedly.

As long as the military spending of the Great Song Dynasty is reduced, free compulsory education is not impossible to achieve, and the cultural and martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty will be proud of all dynasties.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "The minister believes that free education is only the beginning, and in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will dominate the world, not only will the military expenditure be reduced, but the tax will definitely increase significantly, and the minister believes that it is not impossible to achieve free medical care for all in the future." ”

"Free medical care!"

The court officials were in an uproar, and they looked at Fan Zheng in horror one by one.

They did not expect that Fan Zheng was not satisfied with the proposal of free compulsory education, and even imagined that free medical care for all people and free medical treatment for the people of the world would require much more money than free compulsory education.

Zhao Xu was shocked again, if the Great Song Dynasty implemented free education and free medical care, the people of the world would have little education and the old would have medical treatment, what a grand occasion it would be.

"Is this possible?"

Su Song couldn't believe that as the leader of the medical party, free medical care for all was an idea he never dreamed of.

"Fan Taicheng, you don't want to talk on paper, do you know what you're talking about?" Zhang Dian said angrily.

The finances of the Great Song Dynasty are limited, and even if free compulsory education can be achieved according to Fan Zheng's theory, if free medical care is added, I am afraid that the finances of the Great Song Dynasty will collapse.

This time, even the old party was opposed.

As for the old party, they all received Confucian education, so they naturally agreed with compulsory education, and naturally opposed free medical care for doctors.

Fan Zheng said unhurriedly: "You are familiar with history books, and you all know that all dynasties cannot escape the national fortune for three hundred years, and the Great Song Dynasty can be sure to be an exception!" ”

Lu Dafang sneered and asked, "Could it be that the implementation of free medical care can make the Great Song Dynasty pass on for eternity?" ”

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "As the prime minister said, the lower officials are not sure that the realization of free medical care can allow the Great Song Dynasty to be passed on for eternity, but if a dynasty wants to inherit it for eternity, it will definitely achieve free education and free medical care." ”

"Why?" Zhao Xu hurriedly asked.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Wechen went through the history books and summed up the lessons of the fall of the previous dynasties, the reason is nothing more than the chaos of the ministers and thieves, and the people are not happy. ”

Zhao Xu's face was embarrassed, the Zhao Song Dynasty was a chaotic minister and a thief.

Fan Zheng didn't care about Zhao Xu's face, and said loudly: "Imagine it, if a dynasty implements free education, and all the young people are educated by the saints, how can there be a place for rebellious ministers and thieves, and the people are sick with free medical treatment, how can the people of such a dynasty not support it, and how can it be the face of the country, this is Weichen's policy of treating the country." ”

"The policy of medical country!"

The court and officials have been silent, realizing free medical care and free education, and it is not an exaggeration to say that such a dynasty can be said to be prosperous, and how can it suddenly perish.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but be excited.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "If the Great Song Dynasty advances in these two directions, the inheritance of Wanshi Weichen does not dare to guarantee that it will break the curse of the dynasty's three hundred years of national fortune, Fan thinks it is not difficult, of course, the doctor has just flourished now, and even the hospitals have not yet spread all over the cities of the Great Song Dynasty, and the implementation of free medical care is still far away, but Fan believes that this day the doctor will eventually be realized." ”

Zhao Xu laughed and said: "I don't have the luxury of thinking that the Great Song Dynasty will be inherited for eternity, and I am already satisfied to be able to transcend the eight hundred years of national fortune of the Zhou Dynasty." ”

Without Fan Zheng's idea of free medical care and free education, Zhao Xu thought that he would have reached the limit of the national fortune of the Han Dynasty and the 400 years, and it is clear that Fan Zheng's proposal gave him a stronger ambition to go beyond the national fortune of 2 weeks and 800 years.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hundreds of officials have received orders.

"Governing the country is based on education! The decree was that the prevention of men and women was postponed from seven to nine years old, and compulsory education in Kaifeng City was piloted, but all boys between the ages of six and nine were required to attend school, and girls were voluntary. Zhao Xu immediately ordered.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh, he also knew that the concept of patriarchy in the Great Song Dynasty was quite heavy, and it was already the limit to be able to let girls voluntarily go to school.

In the future, it is only necessary to wait for the universal enrolment of girls in school, and then to enforce the equal treatment of all young children.

"Thank you for the Kaifeng students!"

Fan Chunli bowed solemnly.

With Zhao Xu's will, the age of male and female defense will be postponed by two years, and there will be no obstacles to compulsory education in Kaifeng City.

Once the compulsory education is universalized in Kaifeng City, it will be like a spark that can set the prairie on fire, and then all cities in the world will follow suit, and the Great Song Dynasty will reach its peak.

All the officials looked at Fan Chunli in a complicated way, and in the face of the impeachment of the hundred officials, Fan Chunli came to the Vertical Arch Hall and said two sentences, the first sentence directly admitted that the impeachment of the hundred officials was true and directly pleaded guilty, and the second sentence was the thank you just now, and Fan was defending him almost throughout the whole process.

However, what made the officials even more envious and jealous was that anyone with a discerning eye could see that compulsory education in the whole city must have been the idea of his son, the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Fan Chunli did almost nothing, and won the title of the pioneer of compulsory education, which will surely go down in history.

"I'm afraid that the real prefect of Kaifeng City is not necessarily who it is?"

The corners of the hundred officials' mouths twitched, although Fan Chunli was the prefect of Kaifeng, but Fan Zheng successively proposed the second party of the medical city, the third party, and even the compulsory education of the whole city was also from Fan Zheng's hands.

Just like Fan Chunli in Bozhou, there is almost no need to bother, and Fan Zheng easily arrogantly overlooks his father Fan Chunli's political achievements.

Fan Chunli's life can be said to be smooth, the first half of his life was taken care of by his father and second brother, and the second half of his life was still stained with the light of his son and daughter-in-law.
