Qin Wangzheng knew Zhao Shu very well. When he saw Zhao Shu acting like this, he knew that he must ask for something, and the request was not small.
Otherwise, with Zhao Shu's always straightforward character, he would not be so tactful, unless this request was difficult to fulfill.
At this thought, Qin Wangzheng couldn't help but have a look of solemnity on his face.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, the Confucius Academy has been built, and the general thinks it is time to start recruiting students."
"What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Qin Wangzheng's face became more solemn. He knew very well that once the Shanglin New City project started, there was no possibility of stopping it.
"So fast?" Qin Wangzheng frowned, with some hesitation in his eyes.
Taking a sip of tea, Zhao Shu shook his head: "Your Majesty, this is not fast at all. In the eyes of the general, it is actually a bit slow."
"Once the Confucius Academy recruits students, there are too many things that need to be busy. The recruitment of students, the training of the Confucius, and the laws, etc. all need to be formulated and revised. It is definitely not a day's work."
"The purpose of Confucius Academy is to spread knowledge throughout the world, so the first preparation is naturally quite troublesome."
.........
Seeing Zhao Shu talking eloquently in Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wangzheng felt a touch of relief in his eyes. At least from this point, it can be seen that Zhao Shu was serious about this matter.
"Tell me more details. I am not very clear about these matters. You have always been in charge of this matter. I think you already have a plan and strategy in mind."
"Haha, to be honest with the king, regarding this matter, the general does have a general idea in his mind and wants to ask the king to correct him!"
Zhao Shu smiled and nodded. He knew in his heart that this matter must be approved by Qin Wangzheng before it can be implemented in Great Qin.
Seeing Qin Wangzheng say this, Zhao Shu naturally would not speculate. After all, this was his responsibility.
Seeing that Zhao Shu was so cautious, King Qin Zheng stood up, walked to the porch, and said to Zhao Gao: "Prepare a small banquet, and tell the ministers that I will not see anyone else today."
"Unless it's a government agency, it's something that can't be decided."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Gao quickly directed the servants to prepare for the small banquet. He knew in his heart that Qin Wangzheng wanted to have a long talk with Zhao Shu.
A quarter of an hour later, herbal tea and snacks were served. After the chamberlain left, Zhao Gao closed the door of Zhangtai Palace and stood guard outside.
I have to say that Zhao Gao is a very capable and discerning person. Such a person is much easier to use than some ministers.
Moreover, as a king, someone also needs to deal with some dirty things. Zhao Gaoyuan is better at handling these things than Meng Tian.
He picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Qin Wangzheng. Zhao Shu then filled it for himself, took a sip and said: "Your Majesty, the Confucius Academy is just the beginning, laying a foundation for the cultural heritage of Qin."
"The last general made the decision without authorization and named it Da Qin Confucius Academy. It was named after Da Qin to emphasize and to let the graduating students know that while they are masters, they are also Da Qin's masters."
"Therefore, the general would like to ask the king to give a plaque as the facade of the Great Qin Confucius Academy. In addition, the king also needs to determine the order of the palace, the wine offering, and the classification of the courses."
"In addition, the general plans to erect a monument in the Confucius Academy and engrave palace mottos to inspire students. I need the king's pen..."
After talking for a long time, Zhao Shu gave an overview of the affairs of the Confucius Academy. He felt a little thirsty and lowered his head to take a sip of herbal tea.
At the same time, he also needs to give Qin Wangzheng time to understand this matter. Only when their monarchs and ministers are united can they handle this matter well.
Education is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it is also related to the eternal survival of China. Zhao Shu has to be cautious.
Qin Wangzheng on the opposite side fell into silence. Facing Zhao Shu's words, he hesitated even more.
Enrolling students in this academy requires huge preparations. Once the court's energy is diverted here, it will delay the destruction of the country.
At this thought, Qin Wangzheng felt a little helpless. As an unparalleled king, he naturally knew the role of Zhao Shu's layout on Da Qin. Even so, he was a little shaken.
After a while, Qin Wangzheng looked at Zhao Shu and said, "What else?"
"Although these things are a bit complicated, as long as I, Da Qin, want to do them, I can still do them."
"However, it will affect the war to destroy the country..."
"The current Great Qin is focused on the war to destroy the country. You also know that once the war to destroy the country starts, it cannot be stopped."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu also nodded. He instantly understood the tangle of Qin Wangzheng, and couldn't help but smile and said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is only a small scale attack and will not affect the war to destroy the country."
"Although the general does not have as far-reaching strategic vision as the king, he also knows that the first task of the Qin Dynasty at the moment is to annex other countries and complete the unification of the Central Plains."
Zhao Shu first spoke to comfort Qin Wangzheng, and then continued, "Your Majesty, in addition to this, some corresponding policies and laws need to be formulated to ensure the rights and interests of the master and stipulate their responsibilities."
"And how to arrange these masters, including their salaries, and the master's certificates."
Seeing that Qin Wangzheng was listening attentively, Zhao Shu continued, "In the final general's idea, my wife in Great Qin should be issued a wife certificate, just like a photo of her, with the portrait, place of origin, age, and whereabouts marked on it. The husband’s certificate obtained at that time!”
"The wife's certificate was issued by the Qin court and has a special certification."
"The imperial court holds Confucius Certificate Examinations twice a year. Only those who pass the exam and are issued a Confucius Certificate by the imperial court can be considered a Great Qin Confucius and are eligible to enter the Academy to teach."
"Of course, under the general's vision, even if you have a master's certificate, you still need to take a unified examination. Only if you pass the test can you enter the academy and serve as a master."
"However, this is a matter of the future. Da Qin currently lacks concubines. As long as they graduate and pass the concubine certificate, the imperial court can make unified arrangements..."
"..."
"Wisdom card?"
"take an exam?"
"Certification from the imperial court? Salary?"
Qin Wangzheng pondered for a long time, and after about half an hour, he turned to Zhao Shu and said: "If it is according to what you said, the master alone is a very big one."
"There are still students, and even legislation is needed. In this case, a new government agency will be needed to take charge of this matter."
"Furthermore, this official office has great power and is responsible for many things. It requires a very capable person to be responsible for this matter."
