At this time, those who can still stay in the Xuande court are either the stupid young people who have recently passed the imperial examination or the old fried dough sticks.
After receiving a punch from the emperor, the stupid young people have become more honest.
But the old fritters are working secretly.
"His Majesty."
When Yu Qian and Jian Yi were both away on business, Xia Yuanji was the chief civil servant in the court.
He went out to pay homage and said, "Build a new academy so that children all over the world can study. This is a great merit of establishing virtue! For thousands of years, only the emperor is holy!"
"Hey~~~"
Li Yunze sighed and said "but" to this habitual flattery.
Xia Yuanji, who had become accustomed to the emperor's straightforward character, went straight to the throne after boasting, "But the emperor's empire is so great, and there are so many scholars and people! Now it's just set up in the county, there are more than a thousand. It is said that your majesty also wants to Build more..."
"So many academies require a large number of teachers. Their salary supply may not be obvious individually, but once the number increases, it will be a huge financial burden."
"More." Xia Yuanji looked slightly excited, "His Majesty is the Holy Emperor. Not only does he waive children's tuition fees, but he also proactively supplies pens, inks, paper, inkstones, books, and other learning materials. This is a great merit. I thank you with tears in my eyes!"
Li Yunze, expressionless, sat on the dragon chair and wanted to yawn.
He already knew where the civil servants wanted to start.
"But Your Majesty." Sure enough, Xia Yuanji immediately changed the topic after he agreed. "The Emperor has so many children in the world. The expenses for such a large number of children will be a truly huge sum of money, and the amount will continue to increase year by year." payment!"
"Your Majesty, the court does not have that much money."
Children are also an important labor force these days. Even if they cannot work in the fields, they still have to feed pigs and chickens, cut grass, herd sheep, and do housework at home.
Now is not the time to make schooling compulsory. If you want people to come to school on their own initiative, there must be visible benefits.
The benefits given by Li Yunze, in addition to no tuition fees, are that all school supplies are free.
If it were those so-called teachers who make a fortune from education...hehe, Li Yunze can really be regarded as a saint!
This is of course virtuous governance, good governance. No one can find fault in this aspect, and no one dares to find fault in this aspect.
The problem is, these all cost money.
Take the simplest and most basic pen, ink, paper and inkstone as an example. Even with the lowest configuration, a set costs several taels of silver.
What's even more important are the study books. biquge.biz
Books these days are extremely expensive, and some unique copies are even more valuable.
Even if printing was used, considering the number of school-age children in the Ming Dynasty at this time, there is no doubt that it would be an astronomical expense.
Civil servants know this, so they must also be aware of this.
Your Majesty, what you are doing is a good thing, but of all the emperors in the past and present, have none of them ever thought of doing such a good thing?
It’s not that they couldn’t think of it, it’s that they couldn’t do it.
Education is always a bottomless pit of crazy investment.
Li Yunze's face was a little rosy. "I am much richer than William I, and I am not like William III who was stepped on by Napoleon. Why can they grit their teeth and persevere, but I can't?"
.... While talking about names and things that the ministers could not understand or have heard of, Li Yunze's eyes were extremely firm.
"I knew you would make an issue out of this, so I didn't let you get involved from the beginning. The inner government was directly responsible."
He leaned forward and looked at the ministers, "I don't want the Ministry of Revenue to take the money because I don't want to give the Ministry of Rites a chance to intervene. Because I know that once you get involved, countless things will inevitably happen."
Li Yunze is very aware of the virtues of civil servants.
If the imperial court really takes over, all means will be used from top to bottom.
He would be lucky if only half of the wealth he worked so hard to obtain for education fell into the hands of children.
Moreover, this kind of thing is very difficult to check, which is time-consuming, laborious and troublesome.
Therefore, from the beginning, Li Yunze took the matter into the inner palace and directly cut off the opportunity for civil servants to reach out.
"I have to spend my own money to provide education for the children of Ming Dynasty. Isn't it also allowed?"
This is a question, who dares to say it’s not possible?
Xia Yuanji had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, I am just worried that the government's wealth will not be inherited..."
"No need for you to worry."
Li Yunze's face turned cold, "There is no need for you to intervene. Whoever dares to reach out, I will chop off the hands first and then the head!"
It was said that it was impossible not to intervene, and the Ministry of Rites had already jumped on the bandwagon.
The only difference is that Li Yunze can control it now, but they don't dare.
"If you are really serious about it." Li Yunze smiled slightly, "My dear friends, you can donate your books at home for teaching, and you can use charity money to purchase education national bonds. What do you think?"
The civil servants were stunned. How could you be so shameless?
No benefits, no intervention, and you even have to contribute your own money and effort? What a bully!
Many civil servants saluted in unison, "I shall serve your Majesty and contribute to the holy virtues."
As for the result, until Queen Hu Shanxiang gave birth to the prince, few ministers really contributed.
The books must have been donated, but there were only three or five of them for each family, and they were all enlightenment books such as The Thousand-Character Classic, Three-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, etc. None of them were really valuable.
As for buying education treasury bonds, it is possible. After all, treasury bonds will be stolen.
However, Li Yunze's sale of treasury bonds using imperial taxes as security was unanimously opposed by everyone.
While they were buying national debt, they were opposed to using royal taxes as a guarantee for the national debt.
Right, right, right and right.
Li Yunze simply disgusted them. He had already planned this before doing this, how could he be influenced by civil servants.
For the children of the Ming Dynasty who were as blank as a piece of paper, Li Yunze had no intention of letting them learn the extremely complicated traditional Chinese characters with so many gestures that it was despairing.
When he first came up, it was Pinyin letters plus simplified Chinese characters!
As for books and so on, I returned to the modern world and directly purchased a printing factory in Siam. Then I purchased paper from a paper mill in Borneo and printed the standard textbooks after I modified some of the information.
The terrible productivity of the modern industrial era is unimaginable by people in the Ming world.
Heidelberg's printing press roared into action, and its production efficiency was high enough to make those Ming people who relied on copying and movable type printing vomit blood.
….As for pens, inks, paper and inkstones, they are all discarded.
In the modern world, small commodity malls directly order ballpoint pens and a large number of refills, plus tons and tons of paper.
No matter where he is, Li Yunze is never afraid of the little tricks of civil servants, because he has an entire industrial world as his backer.
As long as there is enough gold, people can have as many commodities as they want.
As for abolishing pen, ink, paper and inkstone, replacing traditional Chinese with simplified Chinese, and replacing traditional enlightenment with new textbooks, it will inevitably cause a large-scale backlash among scholars.
Because it changes the traditions they know.
Scholars tend to be conservative, because being conservative will bring them foreseeable benefits.
And large-scale changes will touch them and make them instinctively oppose it.
Visible to the naked eye, another trend is about to begin.
But again, could Li Yunze, who has a trump card, be afraid of them?
Just come.
He is a literary person who has both military power and the production capacity of the industrial world.
Those who play martial arts are nothing more than the tricks of the Tartars, no one can do it.
In the face of the Tartars' butcher's knife, the scholars did not even dare to object to the gentry receiving the grain together. Is it possible that he, Li Yunze, did not do as well as the Tartars?
Li Yunze, who was not afraid of anything, was busy naming his eldest son.
As early as Zhu Yuanzhang's time, the old man had arranged a seniority list for each of his twenty-six sons.
The seniority list of the lineage of King Zhu Di of Yan is: "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Chang You, Ci He Yi Bo Zhong, Jian Jing Di Xian You". '
There is no longer a queue for the latter ones, probably because Zhu Yuanzhang himself does not believe that after twenty generations, his old Zhu family will still be the emperor.
In fact, by the time of the tenth generation of emperors, that is, by the time of Youzi generation, the Ming Dynasty had already died.
According to this backup table, Hu Shanxiang's eldest son is Qi.
In the words of Queen Mother Zhang, "It sounds so nice to call her Qi Yu."
Hearing this, Li Yunze shivered subconsciously.
"no!"
He refused without hesitation, "Absolutely not."
Everyone was surprised, but they didn't think much about it. After all, he still had to make his own decision on this matter.
"My name is Zhu Qizhen."
Without too much consideration, Li Yunze directly used this name, "I will teach him personally and let him become a talent instead of becoming a god of war."
Historically, Zhu Qiyu lacked education, and Zhu Zhanji had to bear some responsibility, but it was not the main responsibility.
Because Zhu Qiyu was only nine years old when he ascended the throne, Zhu Zhanji could not educate him for too long.
Those who are really responsible are Sun Ruowei and Queen Mother Zhang.
It was their failure to educate the foreign student Zhu Qiyu well, which made him the laughingstock of the ages. Not only did they ruin the Ming Dynasty's Wuxun Group in World War I, it directly led to the imbalance of civil and military affairs and the rise of civil servants, thus laying the foundation for their subsequent demise.
Now, Li Yunze is determined to educate this boy well and must not follow the same old path again.
It is definitely not a good thing for a prince to be better than a woman in the palace.
In Li Yunze's mind, he had already begun to plan a long road to study for him in both civil and military studies.
While he was thinking about it, he received an urgent report that thousands of imperial students came to the gate of the palace and wanted to submit a letter to Fu Que!
.... As soon as these words came out, the faces of Queen Mother Zhang and others changed.
Because of the implementation of the Sanshe method, the status of Tai students is increasing day by day.
With so many Tai students coming to Fugu to submit letters, there is no doubt that it was a huge disturbance.
Everyone's eyes were turned to Li Yunze.
At this moment, Li Yunze was completely indifferent and was still teasing Zhu Qizhen until he succeeded in making him cry.
"Why are you panicking?" After handing Zhu Qizhen to Hu Shanxiang, Li Yunze stood up calmly, "What a big deal."
People should not talk too much, after all, they are not allowed to interfere in politics.
He called outside, "Where is Liu Mian? Tell him to go to the Imperial Study Room."
When I came to the Imperial Study Room to drink a bowl of tea, Liu Mian, the commander of the Imperial Guards, hurried over.
"Who instigated it?"
"What appears on the surface is that the Taixue is offering wine, under the guise of protecting the sages."
Li Yunze has come up with new textbooks, even if they are only for enlightenment, there are not many words of sages and sages, and there are also many things that scholars think are deviant.
How can they endure this? It undoubtedly touches their core interests.
If he hadn't known that Li Yunze was an emperor with the same personality as Taizu Taizong, it would not have been a student who came to Fugu to submit a letter this time, but hundreds of officials came to Fugu to submit a letter!
"I don't know, do you think this can scare me?"
Li Yunze laughed mockingly, "Go ahead and tell the students to go back to class. Those who are disobedient will be stripped of their status as students and will never be hired again."
"If you still don't listen." Li Yunze, who was sitting on the dragon chair, simply crossed his legs and said, "Then take him to the Jinyi Guards and teach them what the way of a monarch and his ministers is."
