Chapter 379: No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education

Li Yuan is now a loyal fan of the private club. Not only the luxurious configurations in the private club, but more importantly, Li Yuan has an unprecedented sense of relaxation in the private club. Li Yuan is thinking very clearly now. Anyway, no one knows anyone in the private club, so he simply just needs to have a fake identity so that others don’t have to be timid when they see him.

His current identity in a private club is just a rich old man.

When Li Er heard Li Yuan's impolite tone, his face was not good-looking. After all, since Comrade Li Er came to the stage, only Li Er could give others a shame, and no one could give Li Er a shame. So when Li Yuan said this, Li Er suddenly became a little unhappy.

Seeing that Li Er's face was a little dark, Zhang Nan quickly pulled Li Er's clothes quietly, signaling Li Er to hold back and finish the matter before talking about it.

When Li Er was reminded by Zhang Nan, he immediately took a deep breath and then said to Li Yuan: "The father is right. I'm here to find my father today. I really have something to ask my father. Moreover, this matter is not possible without my father."

After hearing Li Er's words, Li Yuan showed a dark look of confusion.

"Qingquan, just explain to the Supreme Emperor a good explanation of the affairs of this academy and the policies that the Tang Dynasty is preparing to implement." Li Er ordered.

Li Yuan was even more surprised after hearing this. It wasn't the sun that hit the west side, but the two suns that hit the west side together. His son would actually run to his bedroom to tell him about the policies he formulated. This was something he had never heard of and had never seen. Even when Li Yuan ordered Comrade Li Er to supervise the country, Comrade Li Er would rarely report what he did to him. What's wrong today?

When Zhang Nan heard Li Er let him explain, he repeated the tricks that the morning court told the court officials to Li Yuan. As he was talking, Zhang Nan thought of something new.

"Your Majesty, I have thought of some new things again. Why not take this opportunity to tell me together?" Zhang Nan said.

When Li Er heard that Zhang Nan had something new, he nodded and asked Zhang Nan to say it down.

"Aren't we going to implement the admission of school children of appropriate age right now? It can be foreseeable that it has become a major trend for children to read and recognize words in the future. I believe that in a few years, all children of appropriate age in Chang'an City will become members of our Tang Dynasty Royal Academy." Zhang Nan said.

"So the improvement of quality will become the norm. I believe that if we push the policy of this academy to the entire Tang Dynasty, the quality of our people in the Tang Dynasty will be greatly improved in decades. Not to mention anything else, just say that you can understand the word and make sense, which is something that other countries can't catch up with. In this case alone, we will be much better than other countries." Zhang Nan said.

"I understand what you mean, but what is the point? Didn't you say there is something new?" Li Er asked.

"This is what I want to say. I hope the emperor will implement a policy called "compulsory education." Zhang Nan said seriously.

"Compulsory education?" Li Er and Li Yuan said in unison.

"That's right, compulsory education is also called free education. It would be even better if it can be written into the "Tang Law". According to the law, all children of appropriate age must receive education for the people that the state, society and families must guarantee. The essence is the system of compulsory education for a certain period of time that the state implements for children of appropriate age in accordance with the law. Compulsory education is also called compulsory education and free compulsory education. Compulsory education has the basic characteristics of compulsory, free and popularization." Zhang Nan said.

"This is a waste of time. After all, it is a good thing to let your children go to the academy to study. The people will definitely send their children to the academy." Li Erdao.

"That's right. I guess the people have to line up to enter the academy for this matter. Even if they are not forced to study, they will come here obediently." Li Yuan said.

Zhang Nan smiled slightly and then explained: "Emperor, although that's the case, most of the people have more than two children. For them, eating is still a major issue now, so I can be sure that most of the people will choose to send only one child to study, and the remaining one has to go to the field to work with the family and work for their livelihood. For them, being able to produce a scholar is already a matter of shining the family."

After hearing this, Li Er nodded without objection: "Qingquan, if you want to say this, it makes sense."

"Reading and recognizing words is an unattainable thing for the people today. What we have to do is to let our next generation, everyone recognize words and understand them, so that they know that recognizing words is not something to be proud of, it is his obligation, and he must learn something. Even if our treasury is tighter now, this educational investment is definitely worth it. After all, a century-old cause is based on education." Zhang Nan said.

"A century-old great cause is based on education. I agree with what Qingquan said. If the people of my Tang Dynasty could even do it by reading and literacy, let alone for thousands of years, I would believe it even for thousands of years. The Tang Dynasty must pay for this money." Li Yuan nodded constantly.

"And it doesn't cost much money in the primary school stage. Our treasury now cannot distribute too much education funds. Then we can reduce the years of compulsory education to save money. I originally thought that elementary school, primary school, and middle school were all compulsory education stages. If the money is tight, it would be better to only determine that elementary school and primary school are compulsory education stages." Zhang Nan said.

"No, my people must complete all compulsory education. I can't say it for a year. Just go to middle school. No matter how poor I am, I will not be poor. This is the foundation of the country. If a country wants to gain a foothold, it needs to fill its stomach and let the people live and work in peace. But if a country wants to be prosperous and strong, it must let its people read and read. Even if I don't have money, I can go and rob. There are so many countries around the Tang Dynasty and there is not enough money for the Tang Dynasty. What's wrong with borrowing it from them?" Li Er looked firm.

Although Li Er vigorously developed the academy and wanted to limit the development of the aristocratic families, Li Er could also realize how useful it would be for the country if the overall education level of a country was improved.
