Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 226 Match It Up! (seeking subscription)

Fusu looked at Du He coldly, his face so gloomy that water could drip out.

Why couldn't he see that Li Si had already been persuaded, as long as Li Si spoke, 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 didn't get angry because of it, he just said coldly: "What's Du Shaofu's opinion?"

Du He didn't change his face, as if he didn't notice it, he said in a deep voice: "In fact, I deeply agree with Your Highness's law, but after all, I am in charge of the Qin Dynasty's money and food, and I have to consider it for the court. How many people are there, but there are at least hundreds of thousands of people, such a huge number, it may not be easy for the imperial court to afford so many students to enroll."

"It is precisely because of these considerations that I dare to speak out my opinion."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Du He's posture was very low, and his defense was well-founded.

As a young man, money is indeed the most important thing for him, so many students want to enroll, the money and food consumption must be huge, and from Fusu's mouth, he can't hear the deep meaning, this is to solve some of the land and house rewards, This also means that the imperial court must bear the burden of enrolling these students. How can the imperial court afford such a huge number?

Fusu nodded slightly, agreeing with this.

He said: "The Shaofu's consideration is that if he wants to set up an elementary school, he must consider the imperial government's finances, but the Shaofu may not know that the elementary school that Fusu talked about will not teach the things of the current school. It only teaches the most basic literacy and hyphenation, and you may have heard that my younger brother Gao, Jiang Lu and others have been compiling new literacy textbooks some time ago."

"These textbooks are different from the "Cangjie", "Yanli" and "Boxue" set by the imperial court in the past. They are new textbooks compiled based on official script, supplemented by certain marked sentence readings, and based on laws and regulations. , its learning cost will be greatly reduced compared with normal classrooms, and the teaching content is also extremely limited."

"It's not really as expensive as a school room."

"Moreover, the Shaofu may have misunderstood one thing. In addition to the restrictions on the family title, the students who enter the school also have restrictions on the age. The age is between eight and 13 years old. If they do not meet the standards, they will not be able to enroll in the first place. Undoubtedly, this has extended 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 Guanshanhai. Through the strategy of Guanshanhai, the imperial court will collect a lot more commercial taxes than before. The money will be used for student enrollment in the future. Compared with other solutions I do think that the method of enrolling in school is more practical and effective.”

Fusu explained briefly.

After hearing Fusu's explanation, the other courtiers frowned.

They naturally heard some hints that Fusu might have been planning a long time ago, otherwise, how could Young Master Gao, Young Master Jiang Lu and others plan new teaching materials in advance?It's just that the official script has not been formed for a long time, and many characters are not perfect. In addition, the official script of Daqin is Qinzhuan. Fusu's move undoubtedly deviates from the original established policy.

Moreover, "Cangjie", "Yanli" and "Bo Xue" are the three thousand-character literacy texts ordered by His Majesty.

The intention of Fusu is to use none of them.

This is tantamount to denying Li Si, Zhao Gao and Hu Wujing.

They have never heard of any other logo sentences, and they can't help but feel a little bit puzzled.

Compared with other people's doubts, Du He was more dissatisfied. The money and food collected by Guan Shanhai should be under the management of the Shaofu. Now Fusu said lightly, but he completely regarded the money and food as his own. Du He couldn't help feeling a little annoyed that he didn't think about discussing with his young mansion.

That is 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 present, and it is also different. It no longer focuses on the soldiers themselves, but on the households. It is very likely to be recognized by the soldiers, but His Highness's actions are too unusual, and compared with the previous court's great policies, there has been a greater turn."

"The minister is really worried."

"also."

"His Royal Highness is too bold."

"However, even so, I am afraid that not all soldiers will agree, so I am afraid that His Highness still needs to deal with other soldiers, and the most numerous are the public servants, and these people also have the greatest demand for fields and houses."

"If there is only this one solution, it may be difficult to support hundreds of thousands of options."

heard.

Li Si glanced at Du He deeply.

He could hear Du He's voice. These words were not meant for Fusu, but for them. Now Fusu is so bold that he wants to change the current political situation, and this is only possible. To change the rewards of some soldiers to help Su's current situation, I am afraid that there will be follow-ups, and there will only be more demands at that time.

Du He was reminding them not to simply nod in agreement.

The other courtiers are all good people, how can they fail to hear, all of them are silent.

see.

Fusu was very angry.

He almost made Li Si nod.

Once Li Si nodded, many things would be easy to handle later.

But now it's all ruined by Do Hyuk.

Although he was extremely angry, he could only endure it.

Fusu took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down as soon as possible, haste makes waste, or it's just a matter of time.

The reason why he said "enrolling in school" earlier was also because he followed Ji Heng's suggestion, because Li Si had said before that "the study of the state cannot gain a foothold", so he could use this as an extension. The matter was proposed by Li Si, so compared to other courtiers, Li Si hoped to be recognized by Fusu.

Li Si is the prime minister of the Great Qin Dynasty and has great power in the court.

Once Li Si nodded, even if the other courtiers had opinions, they didn't dare to refute. If they refuted face to face, they would undoubtedly be negating the decision made by His Majesty and Li Si. This was actually a coincidence.

But with Du He's opening, everything he created was shattered.

But Fusu was not impatient.

If one plan fails, then make another plan, just waste some more talking.

At present, by extending Li Si's point of view, it has been recognized by Li Si, at least Li Si will not object in person, this can be regarded as another way to win over Li Si, and this is another method Ji Heng gave, first unite a part, to avoid falling into a lonely army Fight, so that you have the energy to argue with other courtiers.

What's more, his platform has already been set up.

Fusu cupped his hands and said: "What the Shaofu said is very true. This method can only solve part of the worries of rewards, but it cannot completely solve the worries of all soldiers. Moreover, not all soldiers are willing to choose and change in this way. After all, some soldiers are not willing. It is unrealistic for them to continue to wait until they are not married, and some of the children in the family have already passed the age limit."

"Fusu has also considered this."

"And the method has actually been mentioned before."

heard.

Everyone's eyes were slightly startled.

After Li Si pondered for a while, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

He has probably thought of it.

After pondering for a while, the other veterans also showed signs of enlightenment, but their brows could not help but frown.

see.

Fusu is also clear.

These courtiers thought of it all.

He smiled and said: "Just as the ministers thought, the second method Fusu gave is to directly give these soldiers official positions. Although they are just some low-level officials, relatively speaking, it can be regarded as a reward."

"I once heard someone say that life is only about fame and wealth."

"Fields and houses are for profit."

"Fame is both."

"However, ministers, please rest assured that 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 Great Qin after all, and the requirements for officials will be much stricter. Therefore, most of the soldiers in the army will eventually be assigned to the Kanto to fill the vacancies of local officials."

"in addition."

"I know that the ministers have doubts."

"I think most of these soldiers are difficult to serve as 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 have actually participated in the discussion of the garrison system back then. establishment."

"It's just that you have been busy with political affairs in the past, and you have somewhat neglected the role of the defense system."

"When I was in the army, I saw with my own eyes that in order to complete the daily task of defending the border, many soldiers learned to write by themselves, and at the same time learned the corresponding arithmetic. The army is actually a small school, just for learning. The things are not as rigorous as the classrooms, and naturally they are not as complicated and profound, but the soldiers in the army are in the wilderness after all, and they have a better understanding of the situation in the border areas."

"Both actually have their own merits."

"If you give them some time to study laws and regulations, they might not be able to become qualified officials."

"However, Fusu also knows that the garrison system has only been in existence for a short time. It is difficult for the ministers to understand the situation in the army, let alone grasp it. But what Fusu said is true. If you don't believe it, you can go to General Meng Tian. General Li Xin asked about the situation."

"When the time comes, you will understand."

Speaking of which.

Fusu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He said in a deep voice: "Great Qin does have many problems, but many problems have actually found certain solutions under various new policies. It's just that the imperial court's implementation of its own policies is too rough, and its pursuit is too one-sided. As a result, many directions have been missed. If the court can face up to those systems, perhaps Daqin will not fall into the current difficult predicament at all."

"But it's not too late now."

"If it wasn't for the last time he went to the army, Fusu might not have realized the superiority of the garrison system."

Fusu shook his head, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The other officials in the hall also looked slightly sideways.

Garrison system?
It's been a while.

It wasn't even taken into consideration before.

They talked about it casually at the time, the main purpose was to resist the Huns, to prevent the Huns from harassing the border and killing the people of Daqin, but after listening to Fusu's words, they realized later that the defense system has actually achieved initial results .

It's just that their eyes have been limited to the court these years.

Never thought about the frontier situation.

Not to mention the changes that would occur in the army under the garrison system.

It was also embarrassing for a while.

Feng Quji's complexion was slightly different.

He actually contributed a lot to the garrison system back then. His father was Feng Ting. Back then, Feng Ting was dissatisfied with King Han's dedicating Shangdang to the State of Qin. In Ping, the clan was scattered, and he was only ten years old at the time, living in a border area. He had witnessed the tragic situation of the Huns invading and finding land, and he had also seen the situation of the Zhao people resisting the Huns.

Therefore, after the founding of the Qin Dynasty, the garrison system was proposed.

I want to garrison a large army in the frontier to prevent the Huns from invading and ensure the peace and tranquility of the frontier.

However, it was just a casual suggestion back then, but now that he was valued so much by Fusu, he was not only a little dazed, but could not help but think back to the tragic situation of being invaded by the Huns in Huayang, Zhaodi, when he was young, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

He also went to and from the battlefield, but later he was valued by the first emperor, and he was appointed as the right prime minister.

But the actual authority is not very great.

It was only used to balance the forces inside and outside the court, which Feng Quji knew well.

Therefore, Li Si is basically respected in major matters.

Li Si, who was at the side, 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 said before, and now he mentions the garrison system that Feng Quji participated in. I am afraid that he is using this to win the recognition and favor of the two, so that they can finally lean towards Fusu. Agree with Fusu's suggestion.

It's really nice to be so thoughtful.

Li Si couldn't help giving Fusu a high look at this moment.

Fusu's current small actions might have been impossible in the past, but now Fusu is doing it like this, and he also behaves very naturally and decently, which may have taken a lot of effort in private.

However, as the prime ministers of Great Qin, they will not be biased because of this.

But Fusu's suggestion is indeed very meritorious, and it does have unique insights. Compared with the courtiers' previous suggestions, it is more ingenious, unique, and unique. Even Li Si has to admit that Fusu Su's suggestion is indeed the best way for Daqin to deal with it at the moment.

The odds of success are high.

It's just that one enters the school and the other is an official, which has a great influence on the bottom officials.

He used to be a Cai Xiaoli, and he has his own views on this. Once these two policies are introduced, it can be said to be earth-shattering to the local area. What will happen to the local area at that time, even he cannot predict.

Because the bottom officials are the most realistic.

These two policies have touched the fundamental interests of low-level officials.

The hall was very quiet.

Everyone is silent at this moment.

Even Du He was silent at this time.

Fusu didn't speak again, and waited quietly for the courtiers to give advice.

a long time.

Li Si, who had been silent for a long time, finally stood up. The old minister was nearly seventy years old, and his body was weakened, but his energy was still very strong. There's a conclusion."
