Negotiate a solution
"Your Majesty, once this matter is implemented, the court will be in chaos!" The eldest grandson Wuji was the first to speak.
Wei Zheng spoke: "Can you slow down the progress a bit?" Let's try it out in some state capitals first? ”
Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so simple, the family has been suppressed since the previous dynasty.
Now under the imperial examination, it is difficult for the children of the family to become officials.
If the abolition of the imperial examination and the children of those families are considered to have completely lost their hope of becoming officials, how can they not resist? ”
Gao Shilian said: "Whether the people trained by the new education are suitable for officials has not yet been tested, and it is too risky to stop the imperial examination at this time. ”
Li Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Can the two methods of education be carried out together?"
In the future, the officials hired by the imperial examination will be responsible for administration, and the officials hired by the new education will be responsible for scientific research. ”
Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "In this way, there are too many officials in the imperial court who need to be supported.
The imperial court may not be able to pay the salaries of too many officials. ”
Li Zhidao: "If the results of scientific researchers can be applied, a lot of wealth can be created.
This wealth is enough to pay their salaries. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "In recent years, there has been a lot of investment in scientific research, and I am afraid that it will not be able to make ends meet. ”
Li Zhidao: "This is the case with scientific research, the more the state invests, the richer the return.
It's just that returns tend to lag, so it looks like it's going to cost more. ”
Gao Shilian asked, "I don't know if His Highness has statistics?" ”
Li Zhi said: "Now the king still spends tens of millions of dollars a year, and the return is naturally a lot."
The appropriation from the imperial court should be around one million, mainly for weapons research and development, which will only cost money and cannot see returns. ”
After Li Zhi's words were finished, everyone, including Li Shimin, looked at him.
Everyone knows that Li Zhi has made a lot of money in recent years, but everyone didn't expect him to throw so much money into it.
The reason for this situation is mainly Li Zhi's operational problem.
He undertook all the research expenses of the college, including Yang Siqi and others.
The fruits of the output are also owned by him alone.
On the other hand, the prison and the young government supervisor are cooperative.
Li Zhi commissioned them to develop things at their own expense, and when the time comes, they will set up a workshop.
In terms of shares, he and the imperial court will get half each.
As for how much the ministers of the DPRK and China should take each year and how to distribute it, it is Li Shimin's own decision, and Li Zhi will only be responsible for implementing it.
The business he had with the ministers of the DPRK and China had other industries of their own.
These industries are led by Li Zhi, and the ministers receive dividends according to the proportion of their contributions.
After this set of operations, no one knows how much money Li Zhi has earned.
If you don't even pay special attention, no one knows how many industries Li Zhi has.
After everyone was surprised for a while, Wei Zheng spoke first: "If you continue to recruit students, you still operate according to the current method?" ”
Li Zhi pondered for a moment after listening to Wei Zheng's words.
Then he said to Li Shimin: "Father, my son has a proposal and ask my father to refer to it." ”
Li Shimin said, "Let's hear it." ”
Li Zhidao: "Since we want to parallel the imperial examination with the new type of education, we might as well bring the colleges outside the city into the jurisdiction of the imperial court."
At that time, the Chengwai College and Guozijian were responsible for training administrative officials and technical officials.
On top of this, the Datang Academy of Sciences was established to select outstanding talents to be responsible for various research and development.
As for those students who are not suitable for officials and have no research talent, they can be directly allowed to enter the workshop.
With a new education, these people will be able to learn to operate machines very quickly, and their income will be not low.
In this way, the people also saw the benefits of sending their children to school. ”
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Li Shimin asked: "Then who will be responsible for the funding of the colleges and academies in various places?" ”
Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "The funds of the Academy of Sciences have been covered, as for the funds of the Academy... Naturally, the imperial court should be responsible. ”
After Li Shimin listened to Li Zhi's words, he smiled and said, "I know that you kid didn't have a good heart when he came up with such an idea.
It turns out that you are holding back to save the college's running funds. ”
Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "Father, you can't say that!" This education should be the responsibility of the state.
Erchen has already made money for nothing before, okay? ”
Li Shimin said: "Now the students in the academy are using it for you, how can you say that you are making money for the country?" ”
Li Zhi glared and said, "Father, you don't like to hear what you say."
Many of the students in this academy are serving the imperial court, and the retainers did not call them at will.
They learned something from their sons, but they are serving the country, didn't the sons say anything? ”
Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "I don't care about these things, anyway, the academy outside the city will still need you to pay for it in the future."
As for the other academies, I can pay for it, you just need to send someone to teach the course. ”
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Zhi spoke: "Father, there is no reason to do this in this matter, right?"
Erchen thought about the development of Datang for a long time, and in the end, he still had to pay a lot of money? ”
Li Shimin said: "You don't need to be angry, isn't it possible to create value for you if there are more talents trained in this academy?" ”
Li Zhi said: "Father, you must know that this person has more flowers and more flowers.
In case there is no research and development in the next few years, wouldn't Erchen want to be poor and drink the northwest wind? ”
Li Shimin said: "Everything will be said at that time, and my father will not see that you have no food." ”
As soon as Li Zhi was about to speak again, he heard Li Shimin say: "Okay, this matter is settled."
Let's talk about the imperial examination. ”
After listening to Li Shimin's words, Li Zhi suddenly felt speechless.
No, I still have a different opinion here, how can you say that the decision is made?
With so many people watching, aren't you going to ask everyone's opinions?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly looked at several other people.
I found that they all seemed to be very satisfied with the result.
The expressions on the faces of several people were clear, and there was a hint of schadenfreude.
Li Zhi couldn't help but ask a few people, "Don't the adults want to say a word for this king?" ”
The expression on Li Zhi's face at this time was indescribably pitiful, and he thought that this could be exchanged for a little sympathy from a few people.
How do you know that after his words were asked, everyone was completely unmoved.
Wei Zheng even said directly: "At present, there are indeed some financial difficulties in the imperial court.
His Royal Highness will take care of some for the time being, and when the court has money, I will persuade the emperor later. ”
After Wei Zheng's words were finished, the others all nodded with smiles.
Li Zhi knew from the expressions on their faces that they had no intention of persuading Li Shimin at all.
