Chapter 1276: Carrying on the Past and Opening the Future (One Hundred and Sixty-Six) Agreement
Ye Jing'er knew Gao Yuan's temper very well. Once he made a decision, even nine cows couldn't get him back. Since he said he wanted Zhiyuan to change his name and go to school with ordinary people outside the palace, then the matter was settled. Come down, but how can Ye Jing'er trust her son to hang out among people who don't know the details? The next day, he went to find Ning Xin and He Lanyan to discuss it. This was not just his matter. Mingzhi and Gao Ning would also go to school next.
Three women had a play. In Ye Jing'er's palace in the harem, the three of them discussed secretly for a day. Although the three women had completely different temperaments, they were surprisingly consistent in caring for their children. Soon, one A new plan was formed. They decided to build a brand new school in the inner city at their own expense.
After the expansion of Jicheng, it was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city was almost the island where the original residents of Jicheng and the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty lived. The novel www.zuzud lived in a city with a clean background and was extremely easy to find out. The new school would only admit students. The scope, strict admission requirements, and extremely high tuition fees are almost the opposite for the big man who is basically popularizing free education for children. The tuition fees alone will prevent most ordinary people from doing so. Outside the school gate.
Of course, the sky-high tuition fees are not collected casually. The school's various conditions are also set according to the requirements of only better, not the best. As a general school, the school includes all six arts as required courses. As for the teachers, To these three women, is the recruitment of someone the same thing? When the time comes, of course the best teachers in the country will come to take up teaching positions. Considering that Gao Ning is a girl, this school does not distinguish between boys and girls in admissions, which is the first in the country. Before this, although Dahan encouraged boys and girls to have equal rights to education, it had separate branches for boys and girls. The proportion of girls entering school is extremely low. Only in some large cities can there be official families, and wealthy businessmen send their daughters to school.
Of course, Gao Yuan did not expect that his plan to send Zhiyuan to an outside school instead of hiring famous teachers to teach in the palace would actually destroy the first super aristocratic school in Han Dynasty, so that this school would become worse and worse in the following days. coming to expand. From elementary school, middle school, to university, it almost followed Gao Zhiyuan's academic trajectory. In the end, this university funded by the Wang family surpassed Jicheng Comprehensive University and other old schools and leapt to the top in the country. The most famous institution of higher learning in the Han Dynasty, and after that, almost most of the officials in the Han Dynasty came from this school.
Such impact. Naturally, Gao Yuan never expected this at this time.
Of course, the school established by the king's three women still brought a lot of positive influence in the following years. Many wealthy people in counties and states keenly saw the business opportunities and other more difficult to estimate. With great influence, they invested money to establish such schools one after another. While gaining considerable profits, they also established a circle of contacts for the officials and wealthy people in the county, and also defined a circle for the next generation of Han elites.
A large-scale development of private capital. It eases Dahan's investment in education and allows more people to enter schools. But it has also brought some adverse effects. It will become increasingly difficult for poor children to get ahead in the future.
Of course, this would only appear decades later, and there is still no sign of it, and the current big man. Government-run schools such as Jishicheng Military University and Jicheng Comprehensive University mainly provide talents to the country.
Gao Yuan, who had confessed this matter, naturally did not know that Xiao Jiujiu was scheming among his wives in the harem. At this moment, he had received calls from the Yingshui County Magistrate, Ye Feng, the supreme leader of the garrison, and the National Security Bureau's Yingshui Bureau. Yu Guang read three memorials, and all three of them said the same thing. The Chu people wanted the Han people to enter Chu and help Chu build bridges.
Three people, but three different attitudes.
County magistrate Fang Shu thought this was an opportunity to make money, so he first asked the Chu people for a professional technology transfer fee. Secondly, even if the Chu people obtained the technology, they would not be able to transform it into practical applications within a few years. However, the Han people still need to build the capabilities, which can make a lot of money. Thirdly, the Chu people are unable to smelt steel for some key parts that meet the requirements, which has found a pole for domestic steel sales. It’s a big market, and you can charge sky-high prices.
However, Ye Feng, the leader of the garrison, strongly opposed it. He believed that the Chu State was originally a country with lots of water. There were rivers and ditches in the country and there were no bridges. They would be greatly restricted in deploying troops and generals. This would be very difficult for the Han Dynasty when they sent troops to attack Chu in the future. There will be great convenience. Once the reinforced concrete bridges of the Han Dynasty are spread all over Chu, although money will be made, future wars will be difficult to fight. The Chu people can take advantage of the convenience of transportation to quickly dispatch troops and generals.
However, Yu Guang of the National Security Bureau agreed with Fang Shu and believed that it was feasible. However, his focus was not on making money, but on inserting spies from the National Security Bureau into the bridge-building team to build a bridge in Dachu. , the engineering team had to walk all over Da Chu, and every place they walked was a living map of mountains, rivers and rivers. After a few years, all the bridges were built for the Chu people, and the Han people also had a Drawing a map of the entire territory of Chu State in this way is much better than some spies hitting the east and west with a hammer. Not only the map, but also the local customs and customs of Chu people from all over the world as they moved to the east and west. This is the best of both worlds.
And for this matter, several ministers were arguing among themselves.
Ye Chong and Ye Feng held the same attitude and opposed it.
However, the political hall unanimously supported Fang Shu.
Of course Cao Tianci of the National Security Bureau supports Yu Guang.
Although it was two to one, the Han Ministry of Defense now had more power, and Ye Zhong's opinions could not be ignored. Everyone could only turn their attention to King Gao Yuan, who had remained silent before.
"This Fang Shu is a talented person. He has made a fortune in Yingshui, and he actually has a prosperous business with Tan Feng, his mortal enemy. It's amazing. I heard that the prosperity of Yingshui is comparable to that of Jicheng!" Gao Yuan As soon as he opened his mouth, he said something else, which surprised everyone in the gathering.
The Zhengshitang couldn't help but feel a little worried. There seemed to be something in what the King of Han said. Fang Shu walked out of the Zhengshitang. If the King of Han was dissatisfied, it would inevitably affect the Zhengshitang.
"Fang Shu is indeed a talented person. His interaction with Yingchuan, the opposite party, is now limited to economics. It should be said that Fang Shu has a good grasp of it." Yan Shenghao saw that several colleagues were looking at him and could only speak. Having said that, now that the chief minister Jiang Jiaquan is getting older and is no longer in charge of the country's major affairs, he is basically too lazy to take care of it. The affairs of the political hall have been basically handed over to Yan Shenghao, and in the eyes of everyone, Yan Shenghao is also the confirmed next chief minister. .
In fact, this is also expected. Yan Shenghao's qualifications in the political affairs hall are only inferior to those of the Jiang family. Even Wu Kai, the most senior person, cannot keep up with him in terms of his ability to take charge of the overall situation. The other people, such as Wu Qifu, He has not been in the political affairs hall for a long time. He has the ability, but he is unable to obey, and his qualifications in the Han Dynasty are too young. As for Zhou Changshou and Kou Shuguang, it is even more impossible. Both of them are military commanders. They are far less concerned about people's livelihood and government than the above ones. It is impossible to aspire to the position of first assistant.
"This person can be put to great use." Gao Yuan chuckled, "Since he has managed Yingshui very well, why not promote him to a higher level and let him be in charge of a county? If he If you can manage a county as well as Yingshui, you can take up important positions in the central government."
Seeing Gao Yuan's eyes looking at him, Yan Shenghao immediately said: "The king is right. It happened that the governor of Nanyang County resigned due to illness and the governor was vacant. Originally, the political affairs hall was still discussing who to send to Nanyang. Fang Shu's original qualifications were still there. Qian was not within the scope of the discussion. Since the king valued it, Fang Shu was appointed as the governor of Nanyang County. Yingshui happened to be under the rule of Nanyang. Fang Shu was also quite familiar with Nanyang. When he took office as the county governor, he could use Yingshui County as the governor. As the leader, it drives the development of the entire Nanyang. To be honest, Nanyang's development in the past two years has been unsatisfactory. If it were not supported by Yingshui County, the data would be impossible to see. However, Yingshui's position is important, and Fang Shu will go there. , but Magistrate Yingshui still needs to think carefully."
"Let Fang Shu do both. Let someone else do it. If it messes up Fang Shu's fine path, it will not be beautiful." Gao Yuan waved his hand and said. "As for Chu wanting us to help build the bridge, that's fine too."
Seeing Ye Zhong standing up and wanting to speak, Gao Yuan waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "Everything naturally has advantages and disadvantages. As long as the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, it will work. What Fang Shu said is true, and what Yu Guang thought, This is what Minister Cao has always wanted to do. Generally speaking, this matter is of great benefit to us. As for what Minister Ye is worried about, I think it is unnecessary. Once these bridges are built, it will be of great benefit to the people of Chu. It is said that transportation is indeed convenient, but for us, isn't it the same? They can mobilize their troops through these bridges, can't we? More importantly, the Chu people are good at water warfare and have sharp boat divisions. However, most of our boat divisions are at sea, and it is difficult to compete with our opponents on inland rivers and lakes. These are two completely different battlefields, and the tactics and tactics are naturally different, so having a bridge is more beneficial to us. Somewhat advantageous.”
"What the king said is true." Yan Shenghao said with a smile: "The Chu people definitely want to steal their skills, so we might as well be more generous and directly sell our technology to them. Of course, the price will be higher, just like Fang Fang As Shu said, knowing how to do it doesn't necessarily mean you can do it. After a few years of hard work, we have already earned enough money. The cost of building a bridge is high. For us, this is a lot of money. Minister Wang, do you think so?"
Wang Wudi narrowed his eyes and nodded repeatedly. "Of course." As long as the money can go into the national treasury, Mr. Wang will support it. (To be continued...)
