"If you want to touch the noble family, you need to get rid of their coercion. At least there must be someone available when they collectively strike out and threaten you, right?" After Sancho said this, he stopped talking and let Xiao Zhen think for himself. .
"Then why did the gentleman ask me to appoint my second cousin as prime minister?" Xiao Zhen was puzzled.
Doesn't this further strengthen the power of his mother's clan?
Sancho: "Your second cousin... he is a sensible person. If you guide him well, he may not stab the family in the back for you in the future."
There is no one more suitable than Zhang Lin to let the family's son become the knife that stabs the family in the back.
The premise is that Zhang Lin is willing to become this knife.
This depends on Xiao Zhen's personal ability.
"Then where will your money be used, sir?"
Xiao Zhen understood the meaning, but he still didn't understand where the money was going to be spent.
Sancho coughed lightly, suddenly feeling guilty.
"What do you think, I mean, what do you think, in the future, academies will be opened all over the land of Daqi, so that all the people of Daqi, both men and women, can go to school?"
Xiao Zhen’s eyes widened!
"Sir, how come your ambition is bigger than mine?"
"Ahem, if you don't have lofty ambitions, how can you call it ambition?!" Sancho's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
She wants to implement the ancient version of compulsory education in Daqi!
"What he said seems to make sense." Xiao Zhen thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense. How can we call it ambition if we don't have lofty ambitions?
"But how much money will this cost!" He suddenly lost confidence in becoming the emperor through the ages in his husband's storybook.
Are those emperors who have lived through the ages so rich that they can let all their subjects study?
How could he remember that many emperors in his husband's storybook were very poor at the beginning?
"No more, no more. You will gradually fill the treasury. I believe in your strength." Sancho comforted Xiao Zhen without hesitation.
Isn’t it easier to implement compulsory education than to implement comprehensive medical care in the benevolent plane of doctors?
At that time, she not only had to worry about money, but also about medical artificial cultivation, and training enough doctors to send them to medical offices across the country. Moreover, the cost of medical treatment was far beyond that of education.
Students in the ancient version of compulsory education did not have to learn so much, and the years of education naturally did not need to be very long. Even the most expensive books could be solved.
More importantly, the emperor was also trained by her, and her political opinions and ideas were influenced by her, so there was less resistance to the implementation of her ideas.
In comparison, it is more difficult to get women to study with men. This is probably what she will work on solving in this dimension throughout her life.
"Then... Sir, please give me a memorial some other time. Let's discuss this matter with the emperor." Xiao Zhen said with a bitter face.
He was very supportive of his husband's idea, but upon hearing this, he knew that it was an extremely difficult matter and could not be accomplished overnight.
Seeing that Xiao Zhen was a little frightened, Sancho comforted him: "As long as you encourage commerce and vigorously develop maritime trade, the matter of filling the national treasury will be easily solved."
First draw a pie.
How can a successful gentleman not know how to draw a cake?
Xiao Zhen doubtfully left with the freshly baked cakes, and resolutely implemented the policy of filling the national treasury, and began to vigorously encourage commerce and develop maritime trade.
After several days of careful preparation, Sancho went to court with a memorial to launch a modern version of compulsory education.
Unsurprisingly, her memorial was criticized on all fronts.
"It's ridiculous. Our country already has state and county schools. Why do we have to set up so many academies and provide them with free education?! It's extremely ridiculous!"
"It's just a matter of setting up an academy. Sanjijiu, you actually want to enroll men and women together. Isn't this what you should say this time to Jijiu?!"
"What's wrong with girls enrolling in school? Why are adults so opposed to girls enrolling in school?" Sancho asked back in a serious tone.
"There has never been an example of men and women entering school at the same time!"
Sancho secretly changed his mind and said, "My lord is saying that, otherwise it would be better to separate men and women. It would also be good to have separate schools for boys and girls."
"Absurd! The national treasury cannot afford to set up one kind of academy, but you also need to set up a male academy and a female academy? Isn't Sang Jijiu trying to empty the treasury?"
"Your Majesty, what you are saying is that if the treasury is full, then we can separate boys' and girls' schools?"
The courtiers who retorted were stunned. They clearly didn't mean this!
"Sangjijiu, don't judge him right or left. Even if the treasury is full, there is no way for Sangjijiu to act like this!"
"Why is this nonsense? Setting up academies across the country for both boys and girls to attend is really a good strategy for cultivating talents in our country. How come you adults are calling it nonsense?"
"For our Daqi to cultivate talents, this Imperial College is enough!"
Sancho burst out laughing.
"Forget it, let's not beat around the bush with you gentlemen. I, the Imperial Academy, can't support the delivery of talents to the whole of Daqi. I, the Imperial College, know it very well. Today Sang put it here. What I want is for all the people of Daqi to have it. Books can be read, so this academy must be set up whether it is set up or not!”
"Your Excellencies are so opposed, do you think you don't want the people of Qi to study and be educated?"
With Sancho's hat on, it was obvious that no courtier was willing to bear the responsibility, so the topic returned to the insufficiency of the national treasury to support such consumption, and the differences between men and women.
"Sang is not the kind of person who has high expectations but low power. At present, the national treasury is not rich. This academy can be piloted starting from the capital. If it is feasible, when the national treasury is full in the future, it will be spread throughout the country. What do you think, sir?"
One bite won't make you fat, and she didn't come to Japan just to get these courtiers to agree to open academies across the country.
Piloting it in Beijing is her ultimate goal.
With the precedent of the capital pilot, the bottom line of these courtiers has been opened up, and it will be much easier to deal with it later when it spreads across the country.
Sancho's retreat made the courtiers who had insisted on opposition hesitate.
Sancho's great favor is visible to everyone, and the Holy Spirit's trust in Sancho is probably unparalleled by anyone in the court.
If possible, they are unwilling to offend Sancho.
When the courtiers hesitated, Lu Yuncheng and Lu Yunqi both stood up.
"I think the method of offering mulberry and wine is feasible. It will be piloted in the capital first. It will not place a big burden on the national treasury, and the results can be seen quickly."
Since Xiao Zhen vigorously promoted military officers, Lu Yunqi did not need to guard Youzhou all the time. Now that Lu Yuncheng's sister-in-law was about to give birth, Lu Yunqi applied to return to Beijing.
Lu Yuncheng also received a knighthood for his contribution to new grains.
Now the two brothers stand together in the court, becoming Sancho's solid support.
After Lu Yunqi and Lu Yuncheng stood up, Zhang Lin hesitated for a moment before standing up and expressed his agreement with Sancho's proposal.
The courtiers who were already hesitant, but when they saw the most powerful and favored people in the court, they all expressed their approval of Sancho, and their objections gradually subsided.
