Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 576

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing that Qingji wanted to educate the people of New Wu, Kong Qiu, who was the grand decree and also held the post of offering sacrifices to Jixia Academy, couldn't help but bite the bullet and come out.

Old Master Confucius said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, if you want to educate the new Wu people, I agree with you."

"However, the newly established Jiaozhi County, Dian County, and Qianzhong County in Wu State have sent thousands of scholars to serve as officials, or to travel to the southwest to educate the southerners."

"At present, there are not even one scholar in Jixia Academy. Your Majesty wants to set up an official school in Wu County to educate the new Wu people. I'm afraid it will not be possible!"

Don't look at the huge bureaucratic system of Wu State at this time, with a lot of talents.

Even the total number of courtiers and officials in the court and all counties and counties is tens of thousands.

However, if it is necessary to set up a government school, the problem of talents, Wu Guo is still stretched.

Because the cost of educating Li Shu is extremely high, and the wisdom of the people is opened up without authorization, this may not be of much benefit to Qingji.

This is indeed something that can advance the course of history and be of great benefit to future generations.

But with more and more scholars, are talents still worth money?
Just like college students in later generations, at the beginning, everyone from major companies robbed them.

Later, under the overcrowded situation, college students selling pork, sweeping the streets, and working as security guards can be found everywhere...

Therefore, in Qingji's view, talent should be controlled within a limit.

The reason why Qingji set up an official school this time is not to enlighten the people's wisdom, but to educate the new Wu people.

After some deliberation, Qingji breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Confucius, if there are no talents, why can't I issue an order to seek talents from all over the world, only talents?"

"All talents from all over the world can enter Wu and have a place."

"The purpose of setting up the official school this time is to educate the new Wu people and promote the culture of our Wu country, so that whether the new Wu people or the old Wu people, blood melts in water, regardless of each other!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Knowing Qingji's thoughts, the ministers and officials of the state of Wu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, shouting loudly one after another.

If Qingji really plans to set up an official school and open up the wisdom of the people, the ministers will definitely spare no effort to dissuade him, even deadly!
Why?

Because the cake is that big.

If the Li Shu at the bottom also had the opportunity to be able to read and write, and even stand out like nobles, how could this make them feel so embarrassed?

At this stage, Qing Ji is not ready to touch the interests of the nobles, so he can only set up an official school for a transitional period.

Maybe, in the future when the Wu Kingdom is unified, the successor king can take advantage of Qingji's precedent of setting up an official school, and justifiably create the imperial examination system...

Of course, everything is still an unknown now.

"Kong Qiu."

"Chen is here!"

"It's up to you to draw up a decree for seeking talents on behalf of the widow. It must be sincere and convincing, so that a recruiting hall and a golden platform will be set up, and ten thousand gold will be placed on it. A great talent can be divided into one thousand gold!"

Qing Ji said loudly: "Anyone who has a skill, Wu will use it, and the honor will give him a title!"

"promise!"

Confucius immediately agreed.

This is the second time that Qingji has promulgated the Order of Seeking Talents, and set up the Golden Platform for the second time.

Back then, at the beginning of Qingji's ascension to the throne, the Wu Kingdom, which had experienced a civil war, could be said to be broken and ruined.

At that time, Qingji was smug and ready to clean up the old country, so he squeezed money out of his teeth, set up a recruiting hall, and built a golden platform, in order to recruit talents from all over the world to serve in Wu.

The purpose of celebrating Ji has been achieved.

After many years, the State of Wu finally promulgated the Order of Seeking Talents again.

Who will be the beneficiary this time?

"Deng Xi!"

"Chen is here!"

"You are responsible for resettling the new Wu people, compiling household registers, and cooperating with the Jixia Academy and the scholars who entered Wu to build official schools in various parts of Wu County. Don't let the widows down."

"Sir, obey the king's orders!"

Relatively speaking, Deng Xi has a heavy responsibility.

Because whether it is to educate the new Wu people, or to set up official schools, it is a century-old plan of the Wu Kingdom, and there is no room for sloppy!
After a pause, Qingji looked around again, looked at the officials above the court, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, I recently visited Wudu, Meili, and Yanling in private, and benefited a lot."

"Since the widow succeeded to the throne, he has expanded the territory and expanded the territory in successive years. Although he has made great achievements, he has also failed..."

"Your Majesty!"

The officials who heard this were all shocked.

Qingji actually admits his own merits and demerits?
Could it be that Wu Wang Qingji wanted to commit a crime against himself?

No, no!
In any case, celebrating Ji is always more meritorious than demerits.

His sacred status in the minds of Wu's subjects is already unshakable!
It is the so-called humiliation of the master to death.

If Qing Ji issued an imperial edict against himself, he would be most ashamed of him than the ministers and officials of the state of Wu.

Fortunately, Qingji is a qualified hero, he knows his mistakes and corrects them, but he won't admit his mistakes easily...

Qingji said meaningfully: "The widow has inherited the great position, and it has been 14 years so far."

"Helping the country from above, bringing peace to the common people from below, implementing new laws to ensure the well-being of the people. However, years of wars have made the people of the country exhausted..."

"The widow saw with my own eyes that in a village in my own country of Wu, there are not old people with white beard and hair, or babies waiting to be fed, and there are very few young and middle-aged people."

"Why are there so many old and weak women and children? This is all my fault!"

"It's a widow who made the old Wu's family plain, and the people dressed in linen and filial piety went out of their homes."

"My widow, I'm really ashamed..."

"Your Majesty!"

After hearing Qingji's provocative speech, the ministers of the state of Wu who were deeply moved couldn't help crying and knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, you are guilty!"

"..."

Qingji just laughed it off.

guilty?
In fact, the monarchs and ministers of the state of Wu are all "inescapable".

Years of wars have exhausted Li Shu, who is native to Wu, to the point of exhaustion.

As King of Wu, Qingji reigned for 14 years. During most of the time, the Wu army was fighting and fighting!

How can this not consume young adults?

Qingji had to admit a cruel fact——

Because of Qingji's ambition, an entire generation of young people in the Wu Kingdom was wiped out!
This is something that makes Qingji feel lingering fear.

Fortunately, all the pay is worth it.

In Wu's wars over the years, in fact, the most casualties were not the old Wu people, but the young and strong who had just merged into Wu.

If not, with the population of Wu, how could it withstand Qingji's toss?

But now, the reason why Qingji said such a thing was not because he wanted to punish himself.

Qingji wants to admit this fact, and then change Wu's next national policy...

"Where is the general?"

"Chen is here!"

The go-getter whose name was called immediately stood up with a wat in his hand.

"Wu Wang's new palace, how long will it take to complete?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the new palace will be completed in about three months!"

The Wu Palace has been built for more than a year, and it has not yet been completed. It is conceivable that this is a huge project.

However, Qingji's attention at this time is not on the new palace.
