Fusu looked at Du He coldly, his face so gloomy that he could shed tears.
How could he not see that Li Si had actually been persuaded, and as long as Li Si opened his mouth, the matter would probably be settled. But with Du He's sudden interruption, there might be some more variables in the matter.
Although he was angry in his heart, he did not get angry because of it. He just said coldly: "What do Mr. Du think?"
Du He's face did not change, as if he was not aware of this, and said in a deep voice: "I actually deeply agree with His Highness's method, but after all, I am in charge of the money and food of the Qin Dynasty, and I also have to consider the court. Although I don't know that the title of the king is the highest in the world. I don’t know how many people make and make hairpins, but I think there are at least hundreds of thousands of them. With such a huge number, it may not be easy for the court to afford the enrollment of so many students."
"It is with these considerations in mind that I dare to express my opinion boldly."
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
Du He's posture was very low, and his defense was reasonable.
As a young man, he should indeed put money first. With so many students going to school, the consumption of money and food must be huge. And from Fusu's words, he could not hear the deeper meaning. This was to solve some of the land and house rewards. This also means that the imperial court will be responsible for all the enrollment of these students. How can the imperial court afford such a huge number?
Fusu nodded slightly and agreed with this.
He said: "What the Young Master is considering is that if you want to set up an elementary school, you must consider the court's finances. However, the Young Master may not know something. The elementary school that Fusu mentioned will not teach the things in the current school. We will only teach the most basic literacy skills, and you may have heard that my brothers Gao, Jianglu and others have been compiling new literacy textbooks some time ago."
"These teaching materials are different from the "Cangjie", "Yuanli" and "Boxue" set by the imperial court in the past. Instead, they are new teaching materials compiled using official script as a model, supplemented by certain marked sentence readings for guidance, and based on laws and regulations. , its learning cost will be significantly lower than that of a normal classroom, and the content taught is also extremely limited.”
"It won't be as expensive as a school room."
"And the young master may have misunderstood one thing. In addition to family title restrictions, there are also age restrictions for students who enroll. The age range is between eight and thirteen years old. If they do not meet the standards, they will not be able to enroll at the first time. , this will undoubtedly extend the original collective enrollment time to several years or even more than ten years."
"This will also greatly reduce the burden on the court."
"in addition."
"In the past six months, I have implemented Guan Shan Hai. Through Guan Shan Hai's policy, the court will collect a lot more business taxes than in the past. These money can be used for student enrollment in the future. Compared with other solutions, method, I do think that enrollment is more practical and effective."
Fusu explained briefly.
After hearing Fusu's explanation, the other courtiers frowned.
They certainly heard some hints. Fusu might have been planning it a long time ago. Otherwise, how could Gongzi Gao, Gongzi Jianglu and others plan new teaching materials in advance? It's just that the official script took shape not long after all, and many characters are not perfect. In addition, the official script of the Qin Dynasty is Qin Zhuan. Fusu's move undoubtedly deviated from the original established policy.
Moreover, "Cangjie", "Yanli" and "Boxue" are the three thousand-character literacy texts set by His Majesty.
Fusu's intention was not to use it at all.
This is tantamount to denying Li Si, Zhao Gao and Hu Wujing.
There were other signs that they had never heard of, and they couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Compared with other people's doubts, Du He was more dissatisfied. The money and food collected from Guan Shanhai should be managed by the Shaofu. At the moment, Fusu Qingpiaopiao said that he completely regarded the money and food as his own. He didn't think of discussing it with his young master, which made Du He feel a little annoyed.
That's money and food worth millions of gold.
It's money! ! !
Du He said: "Compared with other methods, His Highness's method is indeed the most acceptable at the moment, and it is also different. It no longer focuses on the soldiers in Guizhou, but on the households. It is very likely to be recognized by the soldiers, but what His Highness did is too unusual, and it has made a big change compared to the previous affairs of the imperial court."
"I am really worried."
"also."
"Your Highness is too bold."
"However, even if this is the case, I am afraid that not all soldiers will agree. Therefore, I am afraid that Your Highness still needs to deal with other soldiers, and the largest number are the public servants. These people also have the greatest demand for fields and houses."
"If this is the only solution, it may be difficult to support hundreds of thousands of replacements."
Hear the words.
Li Si glanced at Du He deeply.
He could hear the overtone of Du He's words. In fact, these words were not meant for Fusu, but for them. Now Fusu was bold enough to want to change the current political situation, and this was just the only way. If Fusu chooses to exchange the merit rewards of some soldiers, given Fusu's current situation, I'm afraid there will be a follow-up, and then he will only ask for more.
Du He was reminding them not to nod in agreement easily.
The other courtiers were all fine people, so how could they not hear it? All of them remained silent.
See this.
Fusu was quite angry.
He almost got Li Si to nod.
Once Li Si nodded, many things would be easier to handle.
But now they are all destroyed by Duhe.
Although he was extremely angry, he could only endure it.
Fusu took a deep breath and tried to calm down as soon as possible. Haste makes waste, or good things come in a long way.
The reason why he said "enrollment" first was because he also followed Ji Heng's suggestion, because Li Si had said before that "the study of the country cannot be established", so he could use this as an extension. It can be regarded as following Li Si's favor and burning books. The matter was proposed by Li Si, so compared to other courtiers, Li Si hoped to be recognized by Fusu.
Li Si was the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty and had great power in the court.
Once Li Si nodded, even if other ministers had opinions, they did not dare to really refute. If they refuted in person, they would undoubtedly deny the decision of His Majesty and Li Si. This was actually a trick.
But as Du He opened his mouth, everything he had built was shattered.
But Fusu was not impatient.
If the first plan fails, then try another one, which will just waste more words.
Now by extending Li Si's point of view, it can be regarded as gaining Li Si's approval. At least Li Si will not object in person. This can be regarded as winning over Li Si in a different way. This is another method given by Ji Heng. Unite some people first to avoid being alone. Fight, so that you can have enough energy to argue with other courtiers.
Besides, his stage has already been set up.
Fusu cupped his hands and said: "What the young man said is absolutely true. This method can only solve part of the worries about merit and reward, but it cannot completely solve the worries of all soldiers. Moreover, not all soldiers are willing to make such a choice. After all, some soldiers are not willing to change." Before we get married, some of the children in the family have already passed their age, so it is undoubtedly unrealistic for them to continue to wait."
"Fusu has also considered this."
"And the method has actually been mentioned before."
Hear the words.
Everyone looked slightly shocked.
After Li Si pondered for a while, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
He had roughly thought of it.
The other veterans also showed signs of understanding after pondering for a moment, but their brows could not help but frown.
See this.
Fusu also knew.
These courtiers thought of it all.
He smiled and said: "As the ministers thought, the second method Fusu proposed was to directly give these soldiers official positions. Although they are only minor officials, relatively speaking, they can be regarded as a reward."
"I once heard someone say that fame and fortune are all that matters in life."
"The land and house are for profit."
"Fame and fame are both."
"However, ministers, please rest assured. Although the number of officials in Guanzhong is lacking, it is not much compared to the number in Guandong. Moreover, Guanzhong is the core of the Qin Dynasty after all, and the requirements for officials will be much stricter in comparison. Therefore, most of the soldiers in the army will eventually be assigned to Kanto to fill the vacancies of local officials."
"in addition."
"I know that all ministers have doubts."
"I think most of these soldiers are difficult to hold the position of officials. However, I have been to the army not long ago and have some understanding of the situation in the army. As far as I know, many courtiers here actually participated in the discussion of the garrison system at that time. Establishment.”
"It's just that you have been busy with political affairs in the past and have somewhat neglected the role of the garrison system."
"When I was in the army, I personally saw that in order to complete their daily border guarding tasks, many soldiers would teach themselves writing and corresponding arithmetic. The army was actually a small school. Things are not as rigorous as those in the academy, and naturally they are not as complex and profound, but after all, the army sergeants are in the frontier and have a deeper understanding of the situation in the frontier."
"Both actually have their own merits."
"If we give them some time to learn the laws and regulations, they might not be able to become qualified officials."
"However, Fusu also knows that the garrison system has only been around for a short time, and it is difficult for ministers to understand the situation in the army, let alone grasp it. However, everything Fusu said is true. If you don't believe it, you can go to General Meng Tian. General Li Xin asked about the situation."
"Everyone will know it then."
Speaking of which.
Fusu couldn't help but sigh.
He said in a deep voice: "Da Qin does have many problems, but many of them have actually found certain solutions under various new policies. However, the imperial court's implementation of the major policies it implemented was too rough and its pursuit was too one-sided. As a result, a lot of directions have been missed. If the imperial court could face up to those systems, perhaps Daqin would not have fallen into the current difficult predicament at all."
"But it's not too late now."
"If he hadn't gone to the army last time, Fusu might not have realized the superiority of the garrison system."
Fusu shook his head, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Other officials in the palace also looked slightly sideways.
Garrison system?
This has been going on for some time.
It wasn't even taken into consideration before.
They had a casual discussion at that time, and their main purpose was to resist the Xiongnu, to prevent the Xiongnu from disturbing the border and killing the people of Qin Dynasty. However, after listening to Fusu's words, they later realized that the garrison system had actually begun to bear fruit. .
It's just that in these years, their eyes have been limited to the court.
I never thought about the situation in the border areas.
I never thought about the changes that would happen in the army under the garrison system.
I was also sad for a while.
Feng Quji's expression changed slightly.
He actually contributed a lot to the garrison system at that time. His father was Feng Ting. Because Feng Ting was dissatisfied with the king of Han for dedicating Shangdang to the Qin State, he led his people and the city to the Zhao State. However, his father Feng Ting died in the battle later. Ping, the clan was scattered, and he was only ten years old at the time, living in the border areas. He had seen with his own eyes the tragic situation of the Huns invading the land, and also witnessed the Zhao people's resistance to the Huns.
Therefore, after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, a garrison system was proposed.
He wanted to station a large army in the border wilderness to prevent the Huns from invading and ensure peace and tranquility in the border areas.
However, it was just a casual suggestion at the time. Now that Fusu valued it so much, I felt a little dazed. I couldn't help but recall the tragic situation of the Huns invading Huayang in Zhao Di when I was young. I couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
He also went to and fro the battlefield, but later he was valued by the First Emperor, who bought his bones with a lot of money and appointed him as the Right Prime Minister.
But the actual authority is not very large.
It was only used to balance the forces inside and outside the court, and Feng Quji himself knew this.
Therefore, Li Si is basically respected in all major matters.
Li Si noticed the change in Feng Quji's expression. He seemed to have thought of something and glanced at Fusu imperceptibly, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
He basically guessed what Fusu was thinking.
Fusu deliberately mentioned what he had said before, and now mentioned the garrison system that Feng Quji had participated in. He was probably using this to win the recognition and favor of the two of them, so that they could eventually favor Fusu. Agree with Fusu's suggestion.
Such thoughtfulness is really impressive.
Li Si couldn't help but glance at Fusu at this moment.
These little tricks that Fusu is doing now may have been impossible in the past, but now Fusu is doing it like this, and he also behaves very naturally and appropriately. He may have spent a lot of effort in private.
However, as the Prime Minister of Great Qin, they will not be deviated from this.
But Fusu's suggestions do have merit and unique insights. Compared with the past suggestions of courtiers, they are more original, more unique and different. Even Li Si has to admit that Fusu Su's suggestion is indeed Da Qin's best response at the moment.
The probability of success is high.
Just one is enrolled in school and the other is an official, which has a great influence on the lower-level officials.
He had been a small official in Cai, and he had his own opinions on this. Once these two policies were launched, it would be a ground-breaking move for the local area. Even he could not predict what would happen to the local area.
Because the lower-level officials are the most realistic.
These two policies have touched upon the fundamental interests of lower-level officials.
The hall was very quiet.
Everyone was silent at this moment.
Even Duhe was silent at this time.
Fusu didn't speak again and waited quietly for the courtiers to give suggestions.
a long time.
Li Si, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up. This veteran minister was nearly seventy years old, and his body and bones were greatly weakened, but his energy and energy were still very strong. He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness's method is indeed worthy. The conclusion is reached.”
