Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 252 Education Reform
Swish!
All eyes turned to Li Changfeng, a little surprised.

Li Changfeng has always kept a low profile in the court, and never took the initiative to play anything.

Now it is uncharacteristically, making all the ministers a little curious.

Even Emperor Qianwu was full of curiosity.

"Tell me, what's the matter."

Li Changfeng said solemnly: "Your Majesty, my minister proposes to reform the imperial examination system and establish a special scientific research institution, so that the talents from all over the world can be used by me!"

All the ministers were shocked, not understanding why Li Changfeng raised this matter suddenly.

Emperor Qianwu was astonished.

Regarding this matter, he had talked with Li Changfeng before, and he rejected it when he thought it was not appropriate. He did not expect Li Changfeng to bring up the old matter again today.

However, now that Li Changfeng has just made great achievements and is in the limelight, it is a good opportunity to see the attitude of the officials.

He glanced at the officials calmly, and said lightly: "The reason."

Li Changfeng cupped his hands and said: "The current imperial examination system tests the words of Confucian sages, but most of the time the officials selected don't have much real talent except for writing and writing. What the people of the world need is not these!"

On the way back to Beijing, Li Changfeng was thinking about this matter.

Whether it is to promote the industrialization process or manufacture nuclear weapons, a large number of talents are required, and it is difficult to complete it with his scientific research institute alone.

We must focus on the entire staff to select talents.

It is time to reform the imperial examination system.

But before he had time to elaborate on other drawbacks of the current imperial examination system, courtiers had already stood up impatiently to express their opposition.

"Your Majesty, His Highness Ninth Prince's words are wrong. How can you say that the people of the world don't need these words of the saints?"

"That's right, His Highness denies the talents selected by the current imperial examination system, saying that they have no real talents except for writing and writing. Wouldn't it chill the hearts of scholars all over the world?"

Emperor Qianwu's face sank: "What's the rush? You didn't even listen to his reform plan, and you jumped out to oppose it?"

The other ministers who were eager to try shut up immediately, seeing that there were quite a few of them.

Emperor Ganwu felt a little stressed.

Obviously there is a lot of resistance.

Li Changfeng cupped his hands at Emperor Qianwu: "As for the reform plan, I have already figured it out. The government will set up a school to teach arithmetic, reading and literacy from young children, and start elementary education."

"When they are young, teach them to read, learn etiquette, integrity, shame, loyalty, filial piety, establish a correct outlook on life and values, and at the same time start teaching some skills that can be used in life."

"After adulthood, we will provide more professional learning directions according to their specialties and hobbies. After finishing their studies, those who study arithmetic can work in the household department in the future, those who study agriculture and industry can work in the household department, and those who study military strategy can let them go to the army. Get a job and wait."

"The direction of learning should be detailed, not just reading the books of sages, but considering the application of what you have learned, and selecting and appointing officials according to their skills, not according to the quality of their books!"

"Let's talk about the direction of study..."

Li Changfeng introduced his reform plan in detail.

The expressions of the ministers gradually changed from shock at the beginning to dissatisfaction and anger, and some even showed worried expressions.

They have already realized that Li Changfeng wants to completely cut off the reliance of the family for wealth and honor from the root, break the solidification of class, and make it possible for those muddy legs to become masters.

This is impossible!
After Li Changfeng finished speaking, Zhou Hongtu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up.

"No, this is absolutely not possible! Starting from a young child, do you know how much money you need, Your Highness? Can you afford it if you spend a lot of money?"

Li Changfeng immediately said: "We can start the trial in the capital first, and then gradually promote it to the whole country."

Zhou Hongtu shook his head again and again, and said in a firm tone, "That's not okay! Your highness completely negates the words of the sages and the system that has been in use for thousands of years. You are negating the ancestors and the scholars in the world!"

Li Changfeng's expression darkened when he heard such slanderous words: "I didn't deny the scholars, I just want everyone to give full play to their strengths!"

Zhou Hongtu looked worried about the country and the people: "Your Highness, do you know how much impact this reform plan will have on Daqian? This is not a joke, and it cannot be solved by artillery bombardment!"

Other ministers echoed their words one after another.

"This will chill the hearts of the courtiers, and chill the hearts of scholars all over the world!"

"If His Highness insists on this, I would like to persuade you with death!"

"How can ordinary people in the market enter the court and become officials without being educated?"

"If you don't accept the baptism of the sage's words, and don't understand etiquette, righteousness and shame, how can you reuse it?"

"If this move is promoted, it will be in danger!"

……

Except for several ministers such as Feng Quji, as well as some military generals who were born in the army, they were silent, and almost all voices were opposed.

Li Changfeng sighed secretly, his face gloomy.

In safeguarding their own class interests, they are a rare unity.

Emperor Qianwu's face was gloomy, and he cast a meaningful look at Li Changfeng, as if saying that he saw it, reform is not so easy.

Li Changfeng knew that this was a dead end, so he retreated to the next best thing: "Establish a special scientific research institution, and the talents from all over the world will be used by me. You will not object to this, right?"

Zhou Hongtu stood up instinctively: "Your Highness, you can't. There are quite a lot of people in the market. How can you appoint them easily? You must first understand the way of a sage!"

"Old man Zhou!"

Li Changfeng yelled loudly, which startled Zhou Hongtu.

He was completely angry, pointing at Zhou Hongtu's nose and yelling: "It's nothing more than your opposition to the imperial examination system, but now you even oppose the establishment of a scientific research institution. What is your intention? Do you want me to develop and grow?!"

Zhou Hongtu's expression was a little fearful, but he still argued with reason: "How can Your Highness frame this old man? This old man is so loyal to the great officials! It's just that the measures His Highness proposed are indeed inappropriate. Even if His Highness offends you today, this old man will still speak out!" "

"inappropriate?"

Li Changfeng sneered.

Immediately, he raised his tone and asked loudly: "The salt-making technique was improved by the scientific research institute under the prince's command, so that the people of the world can eat good salt. You are in charge of the selection, appointment and dismissal of officials in the world. Why haven't the officials you elected improved?"

"The vegetable greenhouse was created by the scientific research institute under the prince's command, so that the common people can eat green vegetables in winter, can you?"

"The artillery, musket and grenade were also made by the scientific research institute, and they defeated the barbarian invasion. Can you do it?"

"You oppose this prince's establishment of a scientific research institution, what is your intention?!"

"you you……"

Zhou Hongtu's face turned red, unable to refute.

The contribution made by the Academy of Sciences is obvious to all, and no one can deny it.

"Humph!"

Li Changfeng snorted coldly and looked around everyone.

"Who else objects, stand up!"

The ministers were silent.

Li Changfeng smiled coldly and looked at Emperor Qianwu.

Emperor Ganwu made a decisive decision immediately: "Since there is no objection, then the matter is settled. Withdrawing from the court, Li Changfeng will follow me to the imperial study."

The ministers left the Xuanzheng Hall with different expressions.

Li Changfeng went straight to the imperial study.
