Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 7 School District Room

"School District?"

"Yes, Father, I think a school district must be planned in each block of the city. The imperial court will set up schools to teach basic knowledge. These students are the children of traders or farmers and workers, and they will widely improve our Sui Dynasty. The level of education of the people.”

Yang Jian frowned slightly, but immediately connected the school with the imperial examination system that he wanted to vigorously promote.

He looked at Yang Guang. He didn't know if Yang Guang thought so. If he really thought so, then his son's thoughts were too powerful.

He actually connected these two things openly.

He asked tentatively: "Why should we establish a school?"

"Father, I don't know if you have noticed that after those traders make money, they will go to great lengths to let their children become apprentices, even at the expense of huge sums of money, so that their children can learn culture and have the opportunity to become teachers in the future. Officials, and the imperial court established schools and stipulated that residents in certain blocks could send their children to schools. Then this entire block inexplicably added a hidden value, the value of being able to study. , these blocks of land can create more money for Da Sui out of thin air, and all we need to do is to divide an area to build schools and ensure teaching."

Yang Jian couldn't have thought of this even to death, and he was so surprised that he could still be like this.

On second thought, this would also increase the willingness of traders to live in Daxing City. At the same time, the construction of schools and the popularization of culture would provide a strong foundation for the implementation of the imperial examination system.

Double happiness, killing two birds with one stone.

You must know that there was no compulsory education in ancient times. Reading was the privilege of the upper class, and schools can decentralize privileges. This is something Yang Jian is happy to see.

Why is Yang Jian willing to do this?Because the powerful people in the Sui Dynasty were too powerful.

When talking about the Sui and Tang Dynasties in history, what cannot be avoided is the aristocratic family. There are no poor families in the upper class and no aristocratic families in the lower class. We cannot avoid the Long Xungui group, that is, the group of military generals with the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" as the core.

From the Zhou, Qi, Sui and Tang dynasties, the royal family all came from this, and then to the Shandong aristocrats with five surnames, Qi Wang, and the Jiangzuo gentry. Although the dynasties in this Central Plains changed frequently, the upper-level power was still firmly in the hands of these powerful families.

From the Zhou Dynasty to the Qi Dynasty, to the Sui Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, and then to the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, everyone followed the same path. The person in power in the previous dynasty left, and the person who truly held the greatest authority came to power. It was nothing more than establishing a year. The young emperor gave himself the throne again.

Yang Jian and his Yang family are the largest family in the world. They have firmly controlled the lifeline of the dynasty and solidified the ruling class.

A family with one surname can change dynasties.

This is how his father taught him, and this is how other clans taught his son. Which of the descendants of these clans became more capable and soon changed dynasties. How could Yang Jian still not know what he had done over the years?
Yang Jian has been a gatekeeper for so many years, how can he not know what the gatekeeper thinks?
This power that can change the royal family was used by him to help him ascend to the throne in the past, but once he ascended the throne, he was most afraid of this power, which would overthrow his dynasty in the future.

This force is too strong, so we can't fight head-on. He is a far-sighted person. If you want to break this monopolistic class, you need to constantly have new forces enter it, and this force must have no fundamental background. Dependent on imperial power.

This was the beginning of the imperial examination system.

Yang Jian was a thoughtful person. The imperial examination system was born out of the Han Dynasty's separate examination system. It was continuously improved on its basis. It cannot be said to be original but an improvement. However, the imperial examination system did not develop greatly during the Sui Dynasty. This It has something to do with the fact that the power of the gate is too strong at this time. It is naturally impossible to change the gate in the short term.

The imperial examination system had its drawbacks, but the benefits of promoting the imperial examination system in this era far outweighed the disadvantages for the court. The imperial examination system continued for thousands of years, and to a certain extent, it indeed promoted the prosperity of the Central Plains culture.

Regarding the school district housing matter, Yang Jian felt that something had been done, so he nodded: "I will abolish the school in the old Chang'an City and move it to Daxing City. You can look at planning which area is more suitable to build it."

"Multiple regions, multiple schools, and competition in school rankings will create a good school district, and one place will be worth a lot of money."

"Great!"

Yang Jian was so excited.

"Father, now that we have a school, there is one more thing that can help us ease our finances." "What's the matter?"

“Sell your house early.”

"???"

Yang Jian was even more confused about what Yang Guang's proposal meant by selling the house in advance.

"Father, take this circle of land next to the imperial city as an example. They are all residential, and they are the highest-end residential. We will collect the money first and hand over the houses after the city is built. Maybe we will pay one or two Years, but the money they paid first can be used by us first, and we can use their money to build Daxing City."

"Is this still possible? Isn't this a waste of money?"

"Father, you can't say that. This is an expectation of selling. Everyone's expectations for Daxing City are that when nothing is built, the price is low, and they may be willing to buy it. When it is built, it will not be this The price is up.”

Yang Jian was a little embarrassed. This thing was too shocking. In his opinion, it was just handing over money with one hand and nothing with the other. No matter how crooked the businessman was, he would not dare to do this.

Seeing Yang Jian's hesitation, Yang Guang said: "Father, how about this? On both sides of Zhuque Street at the entrance of the imperial city, there are four blocks of Taiping, Shanhe, Xingdao, and Wuben. Please authorize me to sell them first." Let’s see if you sell it, I guarantee it will be at least no cheaper than the houses in old Chang’an City now.”

Seeing that Yang Guang was so confident, Yang Jian waved his hand: "Okay, I'm curious what you would do?"

"Father, my sons and ministers are just petty ideas."

"Okay, very good. Almost all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not agree with me building this Daxing city. They even thought that the spectacle was a detriment to the country. I am building a large-scale construction project. After listening to what you said, at least it was not a compliment, but a real thought. I deeply thought about it. I am very pleased that as long as you can really sell these four districts at a high price, I will hand over the development power of Daxing City to you."

"My son, I will do my best."

Yang Jian nodded with satisfaction: "I will ask Yu Wenkai, who is responsible for the planning of Daxing City, to come to your house tomorrow. You can discuss anything with him."

"My son has retired."

Yang Jian watched Yang Guang leave. When the door of the palace slowly closed and no one was around, Yang Jian's eyes widened and he laughed almost crazily: "Yuan Jicheng, don't bully me. He just changed his name. The world is vast." , the universe is profound and vast, what my son has seen today is already beyond the reach of human beings."

"With his help, there may really be a future for China."

Thinking of this, Yang Jian withdrew his joy and shouted: "Come here, come here."

"His Majesty."

"Secret orders are given to go down and execute Yuan Ji. His son seems to be named Yuan Tiangang, who is also a boy born with strange phenomena. Kill them all, and wipe out the roots without leaving a trace."

……

Yang Guang left the imperial city in a very good mood. Wang Yi asked on the carriage: "Your Highness, why are you so happy?"

"Nothing, the wind is refreshing."

He has taken over the position of director of Daxingcheng Development Zone today. As a real estate practitioner, can he not know how rewarding this position is?
And he has great confidence in Daxing City. Now it is called Daxing City, but later in history it was renamed Chang'an City. It is the city that inherited the rule of Zhenguan and the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty. It is the city that inherited Li Bai , Du Fu, Chang'an City praised by countless poets.

It is the prosperous Chang'an where the nine heavens open and close the palace, and the clothes and hats of all nations are worshiped.
