Chapter 447

Yang Reform feels good about the person he chose. From a historical point of view, the person who dared to say "no" to Wei Zhongxian at the peak of his power must have his own ideals, ideas, and his own bottom line. Persistence, people who are not afraid of power.

This kind of person can't be wooed by power or money. More importantly, he has to be wooed from the principle and his philosophy. As long as he does what he thinks is right, this kind of person doesn't need you to woo, and he will naturally follow you. He does represent a group of people with such ideals and persistence in the court, so it is worthwhile to work hard on him and win him over. Many "centrists" in the court will stand on their side.

"I think Shifu is an honest person. I have something here. Shifu will take a look..." Yang Reform handed Lin Qian a piece.

Lin Qian took it respectfully, looking puzzled.

What?One elementary school in one township, expand county schools, and strive to allow children from all over the world to go to school?Lin Qian was stunned!Is the emperor crazy?It's crazy, children all over the world go to school, this kind of unconstrained thinking, apart from admiration, Lin Qian just feels crazy, Lin Qian looked at the emperor in horror, the emperor is fine, not crazy!Could it be that you are crazy?
"Your Majesty, this is really... It's really too big... Your Majesty has a good heart, but I also feel that how can Your Majesty support such a large expenditure?" After calming down, he spoke.

"Hehe, it is my wish that everyone in the world can read and write. Didn't the sage always say that the world is in harmony? But I think that the prerequisite for a world in harmony is that everyone must be able to read and write. No one knows, is it a joke to realize the great unity of the world? I have always regarded the sacred science as the foundation of governing the country, so I will never forget the teachings of the saints, so I think, to realize the great harmony of the world, first of all, To be literate, everyone in the world can be literate, so we have to build more schools. I dare not say that everyone can be literate at once, but we can start from the baby and let all children be literate. In this way, in the next few decades, It is not impossible to realize the dream that everyone in the world can read and write. This is one step closer to the great unity of the world that the sage said... Hehe, I also know that this plan is very huge, so huge that I can't support it. I can't support all the children in the world to be able to read at once, but I can gradually improve it, build one school one by one, build one today, and build one tomorrow. After ten or even decades, gradually To complete my plan, as the saying goes, it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. I think that in my lifetime, I may not be able to realize this wish..." Yang Reform is a long speech.

Lin Qian was moved when he heard that, didn't it mean that the emperor has never liked holy learning?Why does the emperor have such a profound understanding of the sacred science?It has to be said that it is a great ambition, a great good deed, and a great madness to make such a great wish, to promote the holy learning, and to be willing to provide education to all the schoolchildren in the world.

"Your Majesty is really the Son of Heaven. The people of the world know that His Majesty has such great ambitions, and they must be grateful. Your Majesty has paid too much for the Holy Learning... However, I have to say, Your Majesty, this cost is really expensive. It's too huge, even if His Majesty is rich and claims to be good at managing money, but I still want to stop His Majesty from doing so, Your Majesty, this is a huge expense that needs to be consumed every year, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about how much money it costs?" Lin Qian was the emperor's Dayuan was deeply moved, but also felt that the emperor was too naive, too whimsical, and too crazy.

"Hehe, in fact, I have done the calculations, based on the tens of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty, it is really not easy to spend tens of millions of schoolchildren to study every year. Just for Shuxiu, I am afraid it will cost tens of millions of taels..., hehe, even if it is I have money, but it is indeed hard to sustain..." Yang Reform admitted with a smile, indeed, in a feudal society with underdeveloped material civilization, education for all is nothing more than an illusion, of course, this posture must be posed.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this is really too difficult. Your Majesty's heart, I can understand and understand, but everything must be done according to one's ability!" Lin Qian was also shocked by the emperor's account, 1000 million yuan a year People study, this kind of thing is definitely a grand event, it is definitely an unimaginable and spectacular scene, but it is obviously impossible, the teacher's Shuxiu alone costs tens of millions of taels, this year the emperor made a tens of millions of taels Silver disaster relief is already known as unprecedented and unprecedented, it is already amazing, if the emperor can use tens of millions of taels of silver for the people of the world to study, this..., good is good, but it is too unrealistic , Lin Qian thought so.

"Yeah! This is indeed too difficult. I didn't plan to do it all at once. My expenses this year are really too high. Tens of millions of taels have been spent on disaster relief, and several million taels have been spent on fighting in the north to pay wages." I'm afraid it won't work this year... I plan to invest money year by year to build more schools and bring more people into universal education. Invest more money in education until I achieve my goal and all schoolchildren in the world go to school, so as long as I persist for more than ten years, decades, my ambition may not be impossible!" Yang Reform smiled, intentionally Mention how much money you have spent this year.

Lin Qian was very moved. Listening to the emperor's tone, he was quite enthusiastic about running a school, spreading holy learning, and spreading the ideas of saints. If a previous emperor told him this, he might not have much hope. Being able to squeeze out a few 10 taels of gold flowers and silver from the emperor's few gold flowers and silver is considered a considerable effort, but now the emperor is different. The silver in his hand is said to be endless. Tens of millions of taels of silver for disaster relief?That’s not counting. I also fought fiercely with Donglu in the north. I heard that it didn’t cost less money. It used 10,000+ troops. I heard that it cost several million taels of silver. No more disaster relief, no more wars, perhaps, the emperor can set aside millions of taels of silver, or even tens of millions of taels of silver to run schools. It's all over the place, if this is the case, then it will really be the world's great harmony, Lin Qian suddenly figured it out.

Lin Qian was so moved that his eyes were already shining, he said: "Your Majesty really has great perseverance and great perseverance! With His Majesty's perseverance and perseverance, the sacred science will surely be carried forward in His Majesty's hands, and the world may not be impossible. Hope!... Now, His Majesty does not need to spend tens of millions of taels of silver to run a school. In fact, I feel that if you can get millions of taels of silver every year, His Majesty’s great wish can be regarded as realized. It is enough to demonstrate His Majesty's great achievements, and the sacred science will reach its pinnacle in my dynasty! Your Majesty will also become the eternal emperor of all ages..."

"Hahaha..." Yang Reform laughed loudly. Sure enough, people like Lin Qian still have their own ideals and ideas. People who only show a little gesture, this person will start to flatter him. up.

"Shifu is right. I am devoted to Shengxue, and that is my full support. This year, all my money has been spent on disaster relief and wars. Next year, I plan to find a way to do a big business, and save a few million. Two, it is specially used to promote the holy learning, set up schools in the whole country, let everyone have books to read, a few million taels is a little less, but when the situation is better this year, there is no need to spend money on disaster relief, maybe, It is not impossible to take out ten million taels, so maybe my dream of world harmony is not a fantasy, what does Shifu think?" Yang Reform released the bait again, and gradually increased the weight from a few million taels to a few Ten million taels, Yang Reform wanted to believe that Lin Qian could not ignore these millions of taels. As an official who still had ideals and ideas, he would not easily give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, there is no emperor who is willing to spend tens of millions of taels of silver for education and to promote some holy learning.

"Your Majesty is really..." Lin Qian looked at the eloquent emperor, and his heart was already drooling. It seemed that the emperor was not talking nonsense, let alone lying. If he could invest 1000 million taels of silver in running a school every year, Lin Qian could no longer imagine What kind of scene is that, Lin Qian is almost eager to try it.

"Oh, I think so, but I also know that it is impossible. I don't even know who will do this for me now. This is a big move of millions of taels of silver. If it is entrusted to someone else , Didn’t I miss my business?” Yang Reform said again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I am willing to recommend myself to do this thousand-year-old grand event for Your Majesty. I don't know if Your Majesty can trust me?" Lin Qian was already moved, facing the school fund of millions of taels, facing the tens of millions of taels in the future. How could one refuse such a grand event that pushes the Holy Learning to the extreme, a silver-level school fund?
"Shifu is really willing to help me?" Yang Reformed asked unexpectedly, but couldn't help laughing in his heart. Sure enough, to win over this faction, all they need is this. If there is something that suits their appetite and ideals, they will Will definitely stand on my side.

"Your Majesty, I'm willing!" Lin Qian was already fantasizing about the appearance of this once-in-a-thousand-year event. If Lin Qian presided over it, it would undoubtedly be the most proud event in his life.

"Okay! Since Shifu has recommended himself, and I am also optimistic about Shifu, then it is decided. Shifu needs to have a basic plan, and how to implement it. Calculate how much money, how much manpower and material resources will be used every year. ... In this way, Shifu draws up a preliminary plan, and then reports it to me in the form of memorials, and after discussion among the ministers, I will allocate money to set up a yamen, and then implement it in detail, what does Shifu think?" Yang Reform laughed.

"The minister leads the decree!" Lin Jian was already very happy, and millions of taels of silver were invested in the holy school!What kind of grand occasion is this?How many schoolchildren does this have to support?

"In addition, I feel that this matter is too grand, and Shifu may not be able to do it alone. Shifu can invite some like-minded people to consult on this matter. Of course, Shifu should pay attention to promoting holy learning, teaching and educating people, Spreading knowledge is a sacred and difficult task. We must not let those who seek fame, covet enjoyment, and scramble for power and profit participate in it. Otherwise, based on my level of drift, [-]% of the millions of taels of silver will be used for practical purposes It’s not easy, it’s too far from what I expected, do you really understand?” Yang Reform laughed, Lin Qiang really took the bait, and if he was asked to make such a huge educational plan, he would definitely gather a group of “like-minded people” "People who participated in it all said that they were like-minded. As soon as this plan was launched, a group of centrists were definitely tied to their side. They all looked at the school funds of several million taels of silver. If there is anything going on in the future, they must stand on their side. Otherwise, wouldn't those millions of taels of silver be gone?Isn't this once-in-a-thousand-year event gone, and the reputation that has been sung for thousands of years, isn't it gone?

"The minister leads the decree!" Lin Qian kowtowed excitedly.The emperor said that he understands that this plan is too huge. If it is implemented in the future, it will be even more astonishing if it involves so much. He must be too busy alone, so naturally he has to find someone to help.

"In addition, I still want to talk about it, but don't say that I proposed it, just say that it was Shifu's own whim, and he wanted to do it this way. Don't say it about today's Qing palace affairs, understand? ?” Yang Reform said again.

"This! Your Majesty, isn't that minister greedy for the sky, and I dare not." Lin Qian refused.

"Uh! Shifu doesn't need to be like this. I trust Shifu, so I let Shifu do it. If it were someone else, I might not talk about this matter. Hehe, in this court, court officials have never given memorandum. Do you approve of it?" ? If I brought it up, people in the world would think that I would use silver to buy a good name, haha, it’s not beautiful, do you really understand?” Of course, Yang Reform had to give Lin the credit for this. This is a great contribution, this Lin Qian is not an imperial party, he is also an imperial party, and the group of centrists who follow Lin Qian to run education can be regarded as having something to do with the imperial party.

"Your Majesty is so virtuous, it is difficult for me to turn my back. I understand your majesty's painstaking efforts, and I obey the order!" Lin Qian was so moved that the emperor was willing to give up such a great contribution in order to promote the holy learning and for the sake of the world's students. For myself, this kind of mind is really broad.

"Hehe, well, I won't keep Shifu anymore, Shifu will go back early, formulate this plan earlier, and then call like-minded people to revise, discuss, perfect, and then jointly submit a memorial, hehe, I will pass it here , we monarchs and ministers, we must do big things, we must surprise the government and the public! We must make earth-shaking changes in this sacred teaching that has not changed much since 2000..." Yang Reform and Construction caught a big fish, so they no longer keep people , A few words of encouragement, and drive Lin Qian away.

"Your Majesty leads the decree! This millennium-old event and the sacred teachings of the past will surely be carried forward in the hands of His Majesty." Lin Qian was extremely excited, and kowtowed to thank him.

……

Lin Qiang left happily, and Yang Reform was also happy.Seeing another faction of political forces fall to his side, he grinned happily.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen came in and poured a cup of tea for the emperor with a smile. He heard the conversation between the emperor and Lin Qian clearly just now, and he knew what the emperor was doing for. The greater the chance of winning the emperor, the happier he would be.

……

This turmoil immediately set off huge waves in the capital.

A Guozijian Jijiu claimed to formulate a plan of millions of taels of silver per year, to promote holy learning, to teach and educate people, and to continue to unite with some prestigious people. I heard that this plan is constantly being revised. To play the emperor, let the emperor approve.

The world is crazy, so crazy.Millions of taels of school funding every year!Is the brain of Guozijian Jijiu not broken?How much is the annual treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty?How dare he think so?Just dare to do so.

The streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns immediately talked about this matter.

Because the emperor seemed to have been to this teahouse, it has become a place where scholars and literati from far and near like to come.Although there are very few chances to meet the emperor traveling in micro-service, there are always opportunities.

"I heard that Lin lunatic is crazy. The good Guozijian doesn't make sacrifices, but he wants to make some school plans. I heard that those people have big hearts, saying that all schoolchildren in the world should have books to read. I heard that just It's the school money every year, so there are several million taels..." In this teahouse, while drinking tea, everyone was talking about the latest topic of conversation in the capital, which was Lin Qian's school plan.

"Hmph! This is for the sake of the sage, to spread the sage's knowledge. Master Lin is pleading for the people of the world, for the people of the world, and for the sake of the sage. The court is looking for such a good official. I think if your majesty can agree and allocate Yinzi, this is my dynasty, no, it is the most grand event in the history of the sacred science for thousands of years!" A person who looked like a scholar said grievously.

"Brother Lin, I'm not saying that what Mr. Lin did should be wrong, but, this is too unbelievable, isn't there anyone in the world who spends millions of taels of silver to run a school? No, no, I'm saying, this money Where can I find it? My Daming Household Department, can I get so much money?" The person who spoke before immediately changed his words.

"Why not? The Ministry of Households has no money, so your majesty may not have any money. If your majesty can provide tens of millions of taels of silver to relieve disasters, it may not be impossible to spend millions of taels of silver to run a school. This is the way to spread the saint. There is a grand event." The person called Brother Lin is very optimistic about Lin Qian.

"Brother Lin, that's quite a good point. It's been a long time since Mr. Lin is going to plan to run a school, and he hasn't seen any movement in the palace. Perhaps, His Majesty won't stop it. I don't know. , Mr. Lin has made it now. This is really a rare event in a thousand years! It is also an unprecedented event in my 200 years! I really don’t know if I can see this in my lifetime. Such a scene." A person next to him also sighed.

"My father was fortunate to participate in the plan formulated by Mr. Lin and the others, and he also knew a little about the plan. I heard from my father that this plan is very huge, but it has been designed for more than ten years, and it will be decades later. It is said that the ultimate goal It means that all the schoolchildren in the world can go to school. The goal of Mr. Lin and the others is to let everyone in the world read and write. The ultimate goal is to make the world a harmonious place. The millions of taels a year are just the beginning , Actually, a truly complete plan needs tens of millions of taels of silver every year." A scholar beside him also broke the news.
