Chapter 448
Throwing out the bait of the school-running plan has caused a storm inside and outside the court. Yang Reform has already played an important chess piece in the game of chess at the end of the year.

The snow has stopped in the past few days, and the weather has recovered a little.

Yang reformed early in the morning and was very refreshed. The recent school plan has successfully attracted everyone's attention, whether it is for power, money, or reputation. As soon as the famous people heard that it was such a big event to promote and promote the holy learning, they joined Lin Qiang's "school planning team" desperately, hoping to make a name for themselves on this cultural event.

Lin Qian instantly became the most dazzling "star" in the government and the public, and the school plan became a must-talk topic for the government and the public.

"Big Companion, what's the important thing today?" Yang Reform was in good spirits, getting dressed in the Qianqing Palace, ready to go to court, taking advantage of the gap to warm up the content of today's morning court.

"Your Majesty, apart from discussing the merits of the northern war, the most important thing in the court today is the memorials of the officials, talking about the running of the school. Mr. Lin has become the focus of discussion between the government and the public... These memorials are all about running the school. , because there are too many, the servants picked them out..." Wang Chengen said with a smile, and pointed to a big basket next to him. Wang Chengen knew that this was the smoke made by the emperor. Seeing so many people " "Being fooled", being crazy about it, from the perspective of an "observer", naturally there is a different feeling, this thing of turning hands into clouds and turning hands into rain, this is probably the case, this is just the beginning...

Yang Reform followed Wang Chengen's point of view, and then he noticed that there was a big basket on the side, and all the memorials were piled up in it, one on top of the other.

Yang Reform secretly smiled, it seems that no one can get rid of fame and fortune!Such a matter of being famous for hundreds of generations naturally has to be involved, and this step is the right one.

"How did Lin Qian's plan go?" Yang Reform turned around and asked the little eunuchs to serve and dress him.

"Return to Your Majesty, Lord Lin. Now, the plan has only just begun, and a general outline has been established..." This kind of "shock" to the government and the public naturally deserves constant attention. Seeing the emperor's question, Wang Chengen immediately stated the progress .

"Hehehe..." Yang Reform laughed for a while, but said nothing.

……

Taihe Gate.

This was the first morning court since it snowed this year, and the courtiers came in a very orderly manner.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..." The courtiers shouted long live, which made Yang Reform, who was in high spirits, feel even more refreshed. Why are there so many people today?Is it because I haven't experienced this feeling for many days, and I'm a little rusty, or is it true that there are more people here?

"Everyone's family should be put down." Yang Reform yelled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En." All the courtiers got up now.

The following content, according to the "convention", it is time to sing, and the little eunuch is about to lead the singing.Yang Reform waved his hand, and Wang Chengen hurriedly stopped the eunuch who was leading the singing.

"Today, I won't listen to you singing "Song of Righteousness". You are all learned people. I think you all remember the words of the sage about the great harmony of the world. I want to listen to "Book of Rites. Li Yun" today." In , the sage said about the Great Harmony of the World, from the journey of the great way, the world is for the public... to the so-called Great Harmony here..., today, everyone will sing this..." Yang Reform took his time The voice immediately rippling in the Supreme Harmony Gate.

Anyone who can participate in the memorials will do so. What are you talking about?They are all running schools, and those who can come have come, so there are many people, and the gate of Taihe is already full of officials, big and small. After hearing what the emperor said, they all started talking.

The emperor wants to listen to the passage in "Book of Rites. Li Yun" about the sage saying that the world is one. There is no official who can go to court who has not read these Confucian classics and has a lot of money in his stomach. Naturally, he knows what the emperor is talking about. Duan, why did you listen to this paragraph? All the ministers understood in their hearts that it probably had something to do with Lin Qian’s running a school. The ministers looked around and understood that most of them came for that matter. It seems that the emperor also After agreeing to that matter, then, it seems that there is no need to argue about whether to do this matter, then the rest is how and who will do it, and the minds of all the officials immediately turned.

After discussing with the courtiers for a while, Wang Chengen signaled the little eunuch to lead the singing.

"On the journey of the great way, the world is for the public, select the virtuous and capable, and trustworthy and harmonious. So people don't only kiss their relatives, they don't only have their sons..." The little eunuch began to sing with a somewhat immature voice, trying his best to sing with a high voice, Gradually, the ministers also sang along. In the Supreme Harmony Gate, the saint's words about the great harmony of the world were sung louder than the sky.

Yang Reform couldn't help nodding his head. This effect was good. They all said that it would be brainwashing. Some ministers chanted and sang while shaking their heads to the rhythm. It seemed that the effect was still very good. This time, he used the sage's words to turn the The tone of today's discussion has been set. In the peaceful age of ancient China, it was okay to oppose anyone, as long as you don't oppose the saint. The next thing will be easy to handle. This saint is indeed a good sign!

After singing, the entire Taihe Gate returned to calm!Only then did Yang Reform begin the discussion.

"Is there anything to play this morning?" Yang Reform asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report." Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up.

"What's the matter?" Yang Reformed said.

"Your Majesty, this year I have defeated the Eastern Captives outside the pass. According to Your Majesty's instructions, I have agreed on the merits of the relevant people. I also ask Your Majesty to approve it." Shi Fenglai was the first to tell the story.

"Remembrance to your family, see that those people should receive those rewards." Yang Reform said, in fact, this matter has already been discussed, and here, it is just a formality, although it is a formality, But it is also quite important, and sometimes there may be some unpopular things that may break out.

"Obey!" Shi Fenglai agreed, then tore open the reward book and began to read.

"...Prince Taibao, Zuo Dudu, Dongjiang Town Chief Soldier Mao Wenlong was promoted to Doctor Zhuguo Guanglu, Prince Taifu, to..." The first one belonged to Mao Wenlong. As the first victory in this Northern War, there is no doubt Yes, promotion is a must, but Mao Wenlong's title has almost reached its peak, and he is already the crown prince and Taibao. It's all for the dead, it's definitely not for the living. Even the current emperor's "emperor teacher" is just a call master, and there is no real addition of young masters. These titles are less guaranteed, or they are knighted, ministers They almost unanimously agreed that it was inappropriate, and the Eastern captives were not destroyed, so why were they named Marquis?Therefore, changing Mao Wenlong's Prince Taibao into Prince Taifu has been agreed by the cabinet all the time. It's a promotion.On the other hand, rewarding silver is quite generous, ten thousand taels of silver.

Officials at all levels below Mao Wenlong were rewarded. Shi Fenglai read some and then stopped. There were too many. Even Yuan Chonghuan, who had not mobilized a single soldier, was rewarded.

This kind of matter that has already been discussed has been discussed early, and no one has said anything against it. First, it has been discussed early, and if there is any problem, it has been raised; What about this matter?So, no one came out to criticize.This is how the list of rewards passed.

"Well, that's right. Those who have contributed to my Ming Dynasty must be rewarded. This is up to you to handle it." Yang Reform said, and this matter is considered to be over.

"Is there anything else to play?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something to report." A minister immediately came out and said loudly.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, recently, there have been rumors in Beijing that Mr. Lin Qianlin, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, is drawing up a plan related to our dynasty for decades, or even hundreds of years. I think that Mr. Lin's actions are suspected of trespassing. The matter is not trivial, and it is definitely not something that can be discussed by a mere Guozijian offering wine, nor can it be concluded by a Guozijian offering wine..." A minister fired very fiercely at Lin Qian, directly skipping whether to run a school, and directly going to how to run a school Now, looking at this morning's posture, it seems that there is no need to discuss whether to run a school. Who dares to say no?Why don't you call him out of court?
Yang Reform smiled, the firepower is too fierce, the piece of meat he threw out was too fat, this guy didn't even think about it, Lin Qian is an honest man, if no one backs him up, he will be full In order to do such a big thing?Maybe it's really fame and fortune.

"Gentlemen, do you have any different opinions?" Yang Reform did not come to a conclusion lightly, this is far from the point of his own performance.

No one from the imperial party made a sound. The emperor's attitude towards this matter was very ambiguous. He didn't say yes or no, so don't say anything.

So, after waiting for a while, someone answered the question.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Guozijian is also a little Jiuqing. Why can't we discuss this matter? Besides, Guozijian is a holy place for cultivating talents for the court. Why can't we discuss education? This matter, I think, Master Lin is doing the right thing, discussing properly, Master Lin is working for the welfare of the people of the world, and seeking the development of the sage, he is a role model for all officials, and we should emulate Master Lin..." A person came out immediately Fight against injustice for Lin Qian.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think Master Lin did the right thing, and it makes sense..."

"My Majesty, I also think that Lord Lin's move is undoubtedly the creation of a hundred years. No, if the peak of the holy science in the past thousand years can really do what the Lin Dan people said, then the great harmony of the world that the sage said , will appear in my Ming Dynasty, this is the great fortune of the world, the great fortune of my Ming Dynasty..."

Yang Reform smiled and said nothing. It seems that Lin Qian's plan really attracted a group of people. Otherwise, it would be interesting to talk to him so much.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that Master Lin has a good heart, and it should be for the sake of the people of the world and for the sake of sages. However, I think that this matter is too important. It is already enough for Master Lin to organize and discuss this matter." No, Your Majesty, I think that this matter should be handed over to the cabinet ministers or courtiers to agree, to show that they attach importance to this matter..." Another minister was also unambiguous, such a great contribution, just like this in vain It is obviously not reconciled to give a fourth-rank Guozijian sacrificial wine. Therefore, it is proposed to hand over the right to discuss this matter to the cabinet or the entire court to discuss. This credit must naturally be taken.This is another big fat job after the disaster relief, and it is even more "fat" than the disaster relief. This job will gain a name, a huge name, and a "fat job" whose reputation has been passed down for thousands of years.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think this statement is justified. This matter is no small matter. It is inappropriate for Mr. Lin to take the lead in drafting this matter..." Others also assisted.

Yang Reform still smiled and said nothing, which is weird, he is eager to claim credit even before he has written his horoscope?If he didn't nod himself, and didn't pay the money himself, he couldn't start this matter. Whoever wants to take the credit of Lin Qian will just have trouble with himself. Is this possible?Seeing the courtiers fighting so fiercely, it seems that this piece of fat, this bait, was quite successful.

Yang Reform listened to the opinions of the ministers for a while, and said everything he had to say, so he raised his hand.The Supreme Harmony Gate immediately fell silent.

"...The sage has devoted his whole life to education and spreading culture. I admire him a lot. I also support the sage's career. I think it is very good for Lin Qian to start discussing this matter. It is good for my Ming Dynasty and good for me. Holy learning is beneficial to the people of the world. This is a good thing. I think that since this matter was initiated by Lin Qian, it is still up to Lin Qian. The common people must pretend to be the country, must pretend to be sacred, and must have a set of strategies in their hearts, otherwise, they will not initiate discussions on the grand events that have never happened in the past thousand years, nor will they initiate discussions on the grand events in the past 200 years of our Ming Dynasty.... Ha ha What's more, there is only a shadow of this matter now, and it is only still in the discussion. As for whether to implement it or not, how to implement it, that is a matter of the future..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to send your internal funds to support this grand event. Your Majesty, this is a grand event unprecedented in a thousand years!" An official was blunt, and immediately said what he could say in secret but couldn't say on the surface. out.

Yang Reform was taken aback.The officials were also taken aback, this is too straightforward.It is true that the emperor has money, but that is the emperor's extra money, not a "serious" income. This matter depends on whether the emperor is willing or not, and he has to beg the emperor to force the emperor to take money like this. smash!

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty to send money to support this grand event..." Some officials saw that the matter had been revealed, so they simply asked the emperor to pay the money.

Yang Reform was taken aback, this didn't match his plan, he didn't expect that these officials were so thick-skinned that they directly used their own internal money to make a knife.

"Okay! Let's use all the gold flowers and silver that the Ministry of Households releases to my internal coffers every year to support this matter." Yang Reform also let go of his hatred, and simply took out all the legal income of the emperor to support this matter. It's up to you How to do.Otherwise, I would have a reputation of not supporting running a school.

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, this matter is really too hasty, the emperor is furious, the emperor's annual "legal and reasonable" income is those gold flowers and silver. Living with that silver, and the emperor donated it with a word, then those people will drink the northwest wind?You have to find someone to do your best. In this world, no, the capital is not in chaos?
The official who spoke just now spoke quickly and told the truth in his heart, and now he almost regrets it.Above the court hall, there was a moment of silence.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate. Schools run by prefectures and counties are all funded by the imperial court. The Ministry of Household Affairs and local governments take money. Is there any reason to ask His Majesty for money? You want all the gold, flowers and silver." , What do you eat and drink, Your Majesty? Aren’t you abandoning the emperor and father? Do you still look like a courtier?” Shi Fenglai, the chief assistant, immediately came out to rescue the emperor.

"The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, please punish me." The minister who was outspoken just now pleaded guilty immediately.Although everyone knows that the emperor is expected to pay for this matter, but the emperor must be willing to pay for it!If you don't come up like this, you will force the emperor to pay for the money.

"Hehehe..., is the Ministry of Accounting here?" Yang Reform didn't say anything to this guy, and asked the Ministry of Accounting directly.

"The minister is here." Bi Ziyan immediately came out and replied.

"Since the money goes to the Ministry of Households and the local governments, let me ask you, how much money can the Ministry of Households give to run schools now?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this year the Ministry of Household Affairs has finally settled the debts of previous years, and there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver left." Bi Ziyan replied, of course he didn't finish talking, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver still have to be paid out as a festival fee.

Bi Ziyan's words were like pouring cold water on everyone's heads. It turns out that the Ministry of Household Affairs can afford tens of thousands of taels of silver, and tens of thousands of taels of silver also want to make that plan?joke.

"... However, if we move a little bit more, we may be able to free up some money next year, about four to five million taels." Bi Ziyan replied again.

The fire that was extinguished by the crowd is still a little bit, four to five million taels of silver, which is also a large sum of money.However, to realize Lin Qian's plan, this is a small change.

"Is the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine Lin Qian here?" Yang Reform asked.

"The minister is here." Lin Qian, who had been watching how others discussed him, replied immediately. Just now, he had been observing the actions in the court, watching the emperor and the ministers play "hide-and-seek", which was "instructed" by the emperor to do it , but now the emperor pretends not to know...

"I don't know how far Lin Aiqing's plan has come to, but I want to ask, how much money will it take to realize the great harmony of the world that Lin Aiqing planned, so that all children can read and write?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, maybe tens of millions of taels per year is unknown..." Lin Qian replied honestly.

Tens of millions of taels of silver?Although the courtiers were mentally prepared, they still exclaimed.

"Hehe, this is not a small sum of money!" Yang Reform sighed.

"...Returning to Your Majesty, maybe you won't need that much silver. I have calculated that if you can get tens of millions of taels of silver, you can do a lot of things. Although it is not all achievements, it is unprecedented in a thousand years. It's a big event." Lin Qian said again.

"That is to say, at least ten million taels of silver? Is this going to be a little bit effective?" Yang Reformed.

"Return to Your Majesty, yes, but this matter is unprecedented, and it is huge. Once it is implemented, it needs to be strengthened step by step and year by year. A million taels of silver is enough, and after finding a suitable method, we will advance year by year, and only then will we need more silver." Lin Qian said again.

The minimum cost is several million taels, and the 10 taels vacated by the household department are really a fraction.Many ministers are much less enthusiastic about this matter.He turned his attention to the emperor again.
