Liu Yu's tough attitude immediately discouraged those Confucian scholars who wanted to use "the law does not blame everyone" to force Liu Yu.
After being cowed, no one dared to stop Liu Yu's new official school.
Oh, the new official school is the new name given to compulsory education by the current people.
Liu Yu also liked this new name very much.
A new dynasty and a new atmosphere!
Although he has not become emperor yet, it will be a matter of time.
He only needs to prepare his internal strength in Luoyang and wait until the time is right.
If you don’t sing, you will be a blockbuster!
An army of 100,000 tigers and wolves marched eastward into Haidong and attacked Huanglong from the north!
Without the obstruction of those Confucian scholars, the new official school trial in Luoyang Mansion began immediately.
Every good boy who reaches school age, regardless of gender, must enter a government school.
The official course has one day off every five days, that is, a break on Friday and October.
The official school has a lunch every day, which basically ensures that you can eat all the coarse grains you want, and there is meat every now and then.
This new type of official school has just opened its first batch of more than a dozen schools, and it immediately triggered a violent response!
The people in Luoyang Mansion were all excited.
Their ancestors have never heard of such a thing.
The imperial court not only taught its children how to read and write when running schools, but also took care of the food.
Even if it's just a meal.
But you must know that these school-age children or teenagers are all half-grown adults.
The half-grown man will eat me to death.
They had an all-you-can-eat lunch, which saved one meal of rations for the family.
As a result, some people who were originally unwilling to lose half of the labor force in their families rushed to send their children to official schools.
Those down-and-out scholars who dared not make trouble and could only talk behind their backs suddenly lost the ground to spread rumors and slander.
No matter how bad they say about the new official theory, having an all-you-can-eat lunch of whole grains is the biggest benefit.
Under such circumstances, Liu Yu's personal prestige skyrocketed.
Almost all the people in Luoyang Mansion ask each other when they meet.
"Has your child entered the new official school?"
"What, not yet? Hey, you really lost a lot of money!"
"My two boys and one daughter are both enrolled in official schools. They don't know how to read or write. They eat lunch every day. They are not hungry at night. I have saved two meals."
"This new official school is definitely a great favor that His Majesty has found a way for us to do!"
"It's so merciful that I was lucky enough to be reborn in Luoyang Mansion. With your Majesty, you not only defeated the Hulu, but also gave us such great benefits!"
"Your Majesty is so powerful, you should be worshiped as a true god!"
Regarding the new official school, Liu Yu only wanted to use it to cultivate a group of scholars under his influence.
Therefore, it is another decree and the benefit of free food.
But he didn't expect that it would bring such benefits to himself.
Those down-and-out Confucian scholars were originally people from all over the country.
Although he may not necessarily be rich or powerful, because he is well-read and literate, what he says will carry great weight among the people.
Many times, it is even more effective than government orders.
However, Liu Yu is doing this now.
The influence of these people has been greatly weakened. No matter how random they talk, they can't change the rapid establishment of new official schools and the rising prestige of His Majesty the Supervisor.
From then on, every order issued and implemented by Liu Yu was unusually smooth.
And as time goes on, this situation becomes even more obvious.
Liu Yu quickly understood the reason.
Without the market distorted by those Confucian scholars, every household has children who are gradually able to read and write, and the imperial decrees can be barely read.
As a result, the people who were originally controlled by the wise and Confucian scholars gradually had more direct communication with the upper-level officials.
Every household can understand whatever the imperial court says.
Who is afraid of those big Confucian scholars fooling around?
Liu Yu did not expect this situation.
Unknowingly, he had violated the unspoken rule that "imperial power does not extend to the county" since ancient times.
For an empire, this heralded earth-shaking innovation.
The people that the Han Dynasty court could directly mobilize were the virtuous and wealthy families in the countryside, and ordinary people followed their lead.
Now, the imperial court directly mobilizes ordinary people.
This huge improvement in efficiency can be said to be unique from ancient times to the present.
"So, it is knowledge that changes destiny!"
After Liu Yu understood this problem, he happily showed it off to Xi Jian and Gongsun Sheng.
"Your Majesty, although this new official school is good, it also consumes a lot of money. The daily food consumption is a large amount, and various schools are opened, and various financial expenditures are also a lot. If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will not be able to survive. How long has it been?" Xi Jian said worriedly.
"Well, what you said is a question." Liu Yu nodded.
The educational investment in this new type of government school can be regarded as the longest-term investment.
Many investment results are often not so direct.
After spending a huge amount of money on food and fodder, the harvest may not be satisfactory.
"Your Majesty, do you want to postpone the opening of new schools?" Xi Jian asked.
If Luoyang Prefecture, a huge government, wants to open a new type of official school, it is naturally impossible to do it all at once, it can only be opened step by step.
"Of course not, we must unswervingly open it!" Liu Yu said.
"Your Majesty, the reserves in the treasury are not enough for this purpose. We also need to support the grassland border defense and the food and grass to support Sushen's army in Liaodong's expedition. The food expenses for the Luoyang Prefectural Government School are not enough." Xi Jian said. .
"I guard such a large territory, how can I not have enough? Since food and money are not enough, then we must find a way to make it up!" Liu Yu said.
Xi Jian and Gongsun Sheng were immediately discouraged.
The two of them are definitely not as good as Liu Yu in how to make money.
"Your Majesty, this is not a small amount." Gongsun Sheng said.
"I know, I have already thought about this problem and already have a rough solution." Liu Yu said.
When Xi Jian heard this, he was suddenly surprised.
"What method does Your Majesty intend to use?" Xi Jian asked.
Liu Yu smiled slightly and said very confidently.
"loan!"
Xi Jian was stunned again, "What, a loan? Another loan?"
This is not the first time Liu Yu has done something like borrowing money.
I had borrowed money before to suppress bandits, and later I also borrowed money in the name of waging war against the barbarians.
"Yes, it's a loan. This loan is not just for food and grass money." Liu Yu said.
"The food, grass, and money I have here are all spent on dealing with the thieves and Ding Linghu, so I have no money to open a new school, so I need someone to help!" Liu Yu said.
