There are many people retiring this time, and many positions in the court are suddenly vacant, and the officials are busy selecting people to replace them!
In the morning court, Ying Zheng was also discussing the matter with everyone, and it was with great difficulty that he filled up the positions left vacant by his retirement!
"Alas! There are still too few available talents!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, books were very expensive, and most of those who could read and write belonged to aristocratic families.
It is simply too difficult for ordinary people to learn and read!
The first thing that Ying Feiyu did when he arrived was papermaking and printing to change this situation!
Even so, it has only been four years, and the foundation has just been laid!
The imperial examination can expand talents, but it is still far from enough!
"Father, I have a suggestion!"
When Ying Zheng was sighing about talent, Ying Feiyu handed over his hand to report.
"Oh? What can you do?"
"Universal education!"
"There are private schools all over the Qin Dynasty, how can they be popularized?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
"The government will establish a school, just like a technical school for children, compile a complete set of teaching materials, and unify it across the country, so that all children who have reached the age will go to school and complete six years of schooling compulsorily! In this way, all the people of the Qin Dynasty will be able to They can all read!”
Ying Feiyu briefly stated his thoughts.
Everyone in the court also began to savor it carefully!
After a while, Meng Tian, who had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, frowned, "To set up a government school, you not only need to build school buildings and manufacture tables and chairs, but also print books and find teachers. All of this costs a lot of money! According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, To popularize it throughout the Qin Dynasty, the cost will be astronomical!"
"Yes! There are so many places that need money now. How can we have the spare money to build so many school buildings?"
"It would be good to make the people literate, but now the court really can't afford so much money to let these children go to school!"
After Meng Tian, two more ministers spoke.
Everyone hopes that people can read more and become more literate.
But all this is based on money!
"Well! It's better to slow down this matter for a while. Our Daqin is in the stage of rapid development. It won't be too late to wait until three to five years before launching!"
Ying Zheng listened to everyone's opinions and nodded slightly.
"Chi! Of course it's late...!"
Ying Feiyu ignored the occasion and responded directly, "Only with a large number of talents can we promote the development of Da Qin! We cannot delay cultivating talents because of development!"
Now Da Qin is entirely driven by him alone!
Every time he takes out something from future generations, Da Qin will take a step forward!
This is not a long-term solution after all!
There are so many things in later generations, he can't possibly take them all out in detail!
In this way, Da Qin became a giant baby. He would develop a step after feeding him!
Craftsmen and people must be allowed to use their imagination and creativity to develop and create based on these existing basic things!
In this way, we can achieve truly meaningful development!
"But where does the money come from?"
"This is easy to handle. First establish a Ministry of Education, which will be mainly responsible for education! Then we will recruit talents and serve as teachers in branch schools in various places!"
"As for the teaching materials, you don't need to worry about it. I am responsible for writing and designing them. After the design is completed, it will be reviewed by the Ministry of Education and then printed in large quantities!"
“The Ministry of Education determines the location for building official schools, the Ministry of Industry builds school buildings, and the government recruits students!”
"As for the annual funds, after calculation, within the range that the people can afford, it will be allocated to each child, and the rest will be borne by the court!"
Ying Feiyu explained it to everyone in detail.
This is customized after the education model of the 1970s and 1980s. If you encounter any problems along the way, you can still make adjustments!
Now for future generations, all nine-year obligations are free of charge.
But Da Qin’s current financial situation cannot allow him to be so willful!
"It actually doesn't take many people to set up a government school. After the school building is built, a dozen teachers can teach more than 300 children to read and read. Is it possible that these 300 children can't teach more than a dozen children if they work together? Sir’s salary?”
Ying Feiyu glanced at everyone present angrily.
The current national treasury is not rich, but it is not the era in the past when it could not even pay the salaries of ministers. Building school buildings throughout the Qin Dynasty should not be a problem!
"Listen to His Highness the Crown Prince's analysis. Are you planning to build a government school and just build school buildings?"
A minister raised a question.
"Almost! As long as the school building is built, all subsequent expenses can be shared equally among the students!"
Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.
"Huh? That's okay!"
Upon hearing this, the veterans immediately became energetic.
As long as a school building is built, everyone can be literate. The number of talents produced in the future will definitely be several times that of the present!
"Um!"
After thinking about it for a while, Ying Zheng also showed a surprised expression.
"However, the education model must be multi-category and comprehensive! Cultivating children's moral, intellectual, and physical beauty does not mean blindly asking them to read some sage books. All the books they read are dull and dull, and they are all dead-headed!"
"Ahem..."
After Ying Feiyu finished speaking, the old censors immediately took their seats and coughed twice in embarrassment.
"Feiyu! Go on, do you have any other suggestions for running a government school?"
Ying Zheng, who was initially opposed, became interested and took the initiative to ask.
"Then there is the compulsory education that Erchen mentioned before! Schools that need a lot of construction can be called primary schools, and it takes six years to complete the studies! This part also requires every child to attend! Of course, it cannot be forced, only We can increase our efforts to promote it!”
"On top of the primary school, a middle school can also be set up. This is voluntary. People can choose voluntarily according to their actual situation!"
"After three years of middle school, you can also choose to continue studying at university. This part also lasts three years, and you will learn content in higher fields!"
"As for the scientific examination system, it remains unchanged. Everyone can participate, but there will be more talents selected by then!"
"Wow..."
After Ying Feiyu finished speaking his thoughts, the audience burst into warm applause.
"Haha! His Highness the Crown Prince's wonderful idea has solved another big problem for Da Qin!"
"Yes! If everyone can read and write in the future, Da Qin's empire will be more stable!"
"In this way, there will be more talents in the future!"
"No! Six years of elementary school, three years of middle school, and three years of college. That's twelve years of schooling, much more than I can...!"
After the applause, the civil servants and generals present looked happy and started talking one after another.
Everyone knows the benefits of reading, but in the past, letters were expensive, there were too few opportunities to study, and there were even fewer talents!
Building school buildings now is equivalent to cultivating talents. This is the lowest cost!
