Chapter 760 Establishment of the Ministry of Education
In the past, if you wanted to train a talent, you would have to buy several cars just for bamboo slips. Ordinary families simply could not afford it, and the cost was very high.
Now as long as the imperial court builds school buildings, it can continuously train talents, and only fools will object!
From now on, everyone will come from the official schools run by the imperial court. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, as long as they are knowledgeable, they can join the imperial court and become officials. This is the best time for ordinary people to make a comeback!
"Okay! This matter is settled! The six ministers will go to the imperial study room to discuss the matter and decide on the candidates for the Ministry of Education and the construction of the school building!"
Ying Zheng waved his hand and immediately settled the matter.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the ministers present surrendered their hands, and no one objected.
After the morning court ended, Ying Zheng and the veterans all arrived at the imperial study room immediately!
Unexpectedly, Ying Feiyu said he was hungry and wanted to eat first!
There is no other way but the veterans can take the lead in discussing it in the imperial study room!
"His Royal Highness proposed the unification of teaching materials, which is very good!"
"Yes! In the past, private schools in various places taught different things, which resulted in students learning different things! When the books are unified, it will be the time to truly test the students' knowledge!"
"Yep……!"
A few old guys first praised Ying Feiyu's proposal, and then started discussing the construction of a school building.
"According to what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, if all children are to go to official schools, it is definitely not feasible to build just one in each county! At least three to five villages must have one school building to meet this requirement!"
"Well! Each household has about four or five school-age children, so that means there will be one school for about a hundred households!"
"Fortunately, this is only a primary school. If a middle school is built according to this standard, it will cost a lot of money just to build the school building!"
The old guys talked and talked about money again.
"Don't worry, everyone. In the early days of schooling, maybe not even half of them are willing to let their children go to middle school! Just build a middle school in each county!"
At this moment, Ying Feiyu pushed the door open and said with a smile.
"Why is His Royal Highness so sure?"
The eyes of the veterans were all focused on the prince who had just entered the door, and they asked suspiciously.
"As several ministers just said, there are about four or five children in each household. Originally, these children would go to the fields to work in the fields when they were seven or eight years old, or do other things within their ability to supplement the family income! Now not only can't they make money, but they can also
You have to spend money to go to school, and it lasts for six years. A family that can do this is already pretty good! If you continue to pay for another three years, at least half of the families are not willing to do so!"
Education has just begun to become popular, and most families who want their children to get ahead will definitely respond positively.
Even in the developed era of later generations, there are various reasons that make it difficult for children to go to school!
"Well, His Highness the Crown Prince is right!"
After hearing this, the veterans felt that it made sense.
"That's why I said that we should let local governments publicize and strive to give every child the opportunity to study, but don't force it!"
"good!"
The veterans nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let's discuss the candidates for the Ministry of Education next!"
Everyone has arrived, Ying Zheng said seriously.
"Forehead……"
This will stump the old guys.
To be in charge of education, one must not only have a sufficient understanding of the Qin Dynasty, but also be knowledgeable and talented, and can only be selected among civil servants!
After thinking over and over again, none of the old guys said anything!
"What do you think, Father, Feng Shangshu?"
Ying Feiyu rolled his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Feng Quji?"
Ying Zheng and the veterans raised their eyebrows.
"That's right!"
"But he has retired!"
"Have you forgotten that my son also said something when he proposed the retirement system?"
"You also said something...?"
Ying Zheng began to think carefully. After a while, his eyes lit up, "Do I want to be re-employed?"
When Ying Feiyu proposed the retirement system, many ministers were opposed to it.
Because everyone in the family is counting on this salary to support them. They have worked their whole life to get where they are today and don’t want to lose it easily!
Therefore, Ying Feiyu also proposed a re-employment.
When an old minister retires, if the court needs it, he can be hired back, or he can retire behind the scenes and become a consultant!
Now that the imperial court is about to establish a new department, it will happen to hire back all those knowledgeable veterans to continue serving the Qin Dynasty!
"That's right!"
"Hmm! That's a good idea!"
The old guys’ eyes lit up.
Many of those retired guys are in good health. Let them come back and take care of them first. When suitable candidates are found in the future, it will not be too late for them to retire with peace of mind!
"Haha! I don't know what kind of expression Feng Shangshu will have if he knows!"
The veterans showed evil smiles, imagining Feng Quji's expression when he learned the news.
I even couldn't wait to run to Feng's house and tell him the good news!
Feng Quji now has a rich family, so he doesn't expect a salary from the court at all.
What I long for most is to wander around and live a comfortable life after retirement!
If he knew and asked him to come back, his face would probably turn green!
"Of course Feng Shangshu is overjoyed to be able to serve the imperial court!"
Ying Feiyu couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering.
Not only him, many of the people who retired in the same year must be invited back!
"Father, in addition to those old ministers, my younger ministers also recommended Zhang Liang to serve in the Ministry of Education!"
"Zhang Liang?"
"No! Your Majesty, the imperial examination is approaching, and Zhang Liang still has to help the Ministry of Rites invigilate the examination!"
As soon as Ying Zheng opened his mouth to say this name, Chun Yuyue objected.
After Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were transferred to the Ministry of Rites, they showed outstanding talents. He also planned to train Zhang Liang as his successor. How could he let go so easily?
"Well, Chunwei is also very important. Once someone takes advantage of the loophole and chooses someone without real talent to come in, it will not only chill the students all over the world, but also be a trouble for the imperial court!"
Ying Zheng also agreed with Chunyu Yue's words.
"Since His Majesty and Master Chun don't agree, we can only mediate Xiao He!"
Xiao He and Zhang Liang were both the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty. Since Zha Daddy and Chun Yuyue did not agree to adjust Zhang Liang, it could only be Xiao He.
You can't say that the entire Ministry of Education is full of old men over fifty, and there isn't even a single young person at all, right?
"No, Xiao He is a good horse. If you train him well, he will definitely be Chaozhong Humerus in the future!"
Ying Zheng refused immediately without even thinking about it.
"In the end, is Xiao He's humerus more important, or is it more important to send him to cultivate more talents for Da Qin and cultivate more humerus?"
Ying Feiyu rolled his eyes at him.
The scumbag dad is getting more and more confused as he gets older.
If we say that Zhang Liang cannot move because he is afraid that his students will be disheartened, it is understandable!
Why can't Xiao He move?
Doesn't going to the Ministry of Education mean you are contributing to the imperial court?
Chapter completed!
