Chapter 578: Let the Prince Come Back
Ying Zheng quickly agreed to Meng Xifan's request. Even if Meng Xifan didn't mention the establishment of an education bureau, Ying Zheng himself would. This was a top priority.
Ying Zheng had never thought about educating the next generation before. All he thought about was immortality and making the Qin Dynasty last forever.
But since he learned that he was going to die, and that he was committing suicide, and that he had learned about the death of Great Qin II and what would happen to China in the future, Ying Zheng's mind changed.
What Ying Zheng now thinks about is not only the eternal Qin Dynasty, but more importantly, China wants to become the world's most powerful country.
As for occupying the whole world, Ying Zheng thought about it, but he also knew that this was impossible. The world was too big and China's population was too small.
Therefore, after developing agriculture and commerce, the next step is education.
If it is just Confucianism that is about education, Ying Zheng will not consider it, because it is just a matter of the number of Confucian students.
But today's education is not just about learning. It is just the basics. To put it harshly, it just teaches people how to read and improve their conduct. Other life skills are not learned.
Today's education requires not only literacy, but also arithmetic, learning, and various life skills. In the future, students will also learn very profound skills.
For example, steam engines, electricity, etc., as well as weapons, the musket invented by Qin An, the airplanes, cannons, and tanks that he had seen on the computer.
Da Qin could easily rule the world as long as he had just one thing.
But if you want to have it, you need continuous learning. If you want to learn systematically, you can only set up an education bureau, gather the strengths of hundreds of schools, and formulate educational books to teach the next generation.
In the next generation, after everyone has learned profound knowledge, they will continue to explore new knowledge. In less than a hundred years, China will become truly number one in the world.
Then open up the world, rule the world, and make everyone in the world submit to Qin and Huaxia.
Meng Xifan stood behind after receiving Ying Zheng's approval.
Bai Siqi stepped forward at this time and said: "Reporting to your majesty, the Ministry of War has received a memorial from General Mengwu, saying that he has conquered the entire Japan.
At present, the territory of Japan is as big as a country, with a population of tens of thousands. There is an urgent need for the imperial court to send officials to manage Japan. "
"Meng Wu actually came to give a memorial. Let me see it quickly." Ying Zheng said.
Bai Siqi immediately took out the memorial and handed it to a young eunuch.
The young eunuch immediately and respectfully handed the memorial to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng took the memorial and read it carefully.
After a moment, Ying Zheng let out a hearty laugh and said: "Haha... I didn't expect that the land in Japan is so fertile and the food yield is very high.
It is very suitable for relocating some people and mixing with Japan. "
"Your Majesty is wise." Bai Siqi said, "In the matter of Japan, we can be sure that there must be a large area of land on the sea. Now the imperial court should form a navy to control the sea.
Lest some people take the lead in controlling the sea, this would not be a good thing for the court. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "That's true. Now that we have learned that there are many interests in the sea, it should not be too late to form a naval force.
Bai Siqi, I agree with you to form a navy of 100,000 men to protect the ships of Da Qin merchants at sea. "
"No," Bai Siqi responded, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely train a powerful navy as soon as possible."
"Okay, I believe you." Ying Zheng said, "I will leave the navy matter to Bai Si. But for the Dongying matter, who do you think it is better to leave it to?"
"Wei Chen recommends the former Prime Minister Gan Mao." A minister said.
"Wei Chen also recommends Gan Mao." Another minister said.
Gan Luo's mind changed at this moment and he said: "Your Majesty, the eldest father of the humble minister has assisted your Majesty in the past. It should be more than enough to go to Japan to manage the people of Japan."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly. Gan Mao was indeed a candidate, but his age was also a flaw. Wouldn't it be a pity if he went to Japan and died in Japan?
There is still a lot of use in keeping Gan Mao.
"Gan Mao can't do it. He is too old to go to Japan. For the time being, let Meng Wu manage Japan and find someone else to assist Meng Wu."
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the second young master go to Japan." Meng Yi suddenly said, "The second young master has been studying with the imperial master for more than a year. Although he has not learned a single skill, he should at least have 10% of it.
It would be most appropriate for the second young master to go there. "
"Indeed." Ying Zheng nodded. "Unfortunately, the second child has to be involved in the Ministry of Education, so it is not appropriate to go to Japan at the moment."
Ying Zheng once again rejected the recommendation of his ministers. Suddenly he thought of one and said immediately: "I already have someone selected."
Feng Quji asked: "I wonder who your Majesty's candidate is?"
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Liu Bang."
Feng Quji and other people who knew Liu Bang frowned. This was the future founding emperor of the Han Dynasty and the murderer of Qin. Why did your majesty think of him?
"My dear friends, do you have any different opinions?" Ying Zheng asked with a smile when no one answered.
Li Si said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objections to this."
Others reacted one after another and bowed to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty is wise, I have no objection."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Liu Bang is there now."
The Minister of Civil Affairs immediately replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, Liu Bang is currently in Baiyue, helping the prince to unify Baiyue."
"He is actually in Baiyue, which is very good. How is the land of Baiyue now?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Under the leadership of the Crown Prince, the land of Baiyue has become popular among the people, especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince established Guangdong City to develop agriculture, commerce, education, etc.
Other places in Baiyue began to imitate Guangzhou City, resulting in the people of Baiyue now living a good life. All this is due to the prince. ” replied the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Ying Zheng said: "Yes, the prince has lived up to the emperor's teachings, I am very pleased.
Decree, let the prince and others come back, as well as Xiang Yu and others, and let Wang Ben continue to guard the land of Baiyue. "
"No," the official official replied.
"Your Majesty," Feng Quji said, "The prince has accomplished his studies now, so why not leave the cabinet in charge to the prince."
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Let the prince enter the cabinet? Yes, you can let the prince experience the hard work of reviewing memorials in advance."
"Your Majesty is wise." Feng Quji said, "The cabinet has the power to review memorials. This power is too great. I thought hard and finally came up with a solution."
"What can we do?" Ying Zheng asked.
"Everyone who enters the cabinet only lasts for three years, and after three years a group of people will need to be replaced.
As a result, it would be impossible for them to cultivate their own power. In addition, people from the royal family can also participate.
All corrected memorials will be reviewed by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Affairs before being released. "
