Ming Dynasty: My Father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 510: Free Schooling! Mr. Yang’s Layout Is Too Small!

Latest website:

The prototype of a prosperous age!

This new vocabulary gave everyone a great shock!

In the past, Wang Jing and Yang Shiqi always liked to talk about the four words "peace and prosperity" and praise the Yongle Dynasty.

Before this, the two of them were purely civil servants, and their buttocks naturally tilted towards Cheng Zhu Jinshen.

After all, Cheng Zhu Jinshen's best show is to whitewash peace, advocate a prosperous age, and lavish attention on others.

Only in this way will His Majesty the Emperor believe that the people in the world can have enough food and clothing and live a peaceful life, and the Emperor will not think too much about it, and Cheng Zhu Jinshen can continue to corrupt and enjoy himself.

However, the arrogant and domineering Prince of Han could not stand the literati's behavior.

Therefore, when the King of Han was overseeing the country's governance, he often dealt with the civil servants and gentry.

All the bachelors in the cabinet were dismissed and exiled. Yang Shiqi was even exiled to the old port of Nanyang.

However, after this experience, Yang Shiqi also successfully washed away all the bad deeds in Nanyang and was able to transform.

Especially this time, with the eyes of outsiders, I traveled from the imperial capital of Yingtian to the new capital of Beiping, and saw with my own eyes the real living conditions of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Wherever there is peace and prosperity, it's just a joke.

The more I travel and the more poor people I see, the stronger this feeling becomes.

But now, it was Nie Xing, the King of Han's Eagle Dog, who spoke out this word.

The prototype of a prosperous age!

Although it is only a prototype, it can vaguely see its prosperity!

Who gave Nie Xing the courage to call Northern Zhili a prosperous country?

However, what is worthy of recognition is that these schools founded by His Royal Highness the King of Han are truly benevolent and charitable deeds.

"That's the truth, but it's not easy to actually implement it."

Yang Shiqi sighed, trying to find some loopholes to seek psychological comfort.

However, Nie Xing just smiled slightly and spoke to himself without arguing with him.

"Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning!"

"When the King of Han first implemented this policy, the resistance was just as great, but wasn't it also successfully implemented?"

"When Prince Han formulated this policy, if children of school age were not sent to school, taxes would be heavier. The people of Beizhili were also in a state of rage, and all the pressure was placed on Mr. Guo."

As if remembering something funny, Nie Xing suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Guo is quite old, and he makes a lot of noise in front of His Highness the King of Han. He even cried and wiped his eyes in the next year. No one can stand it. ah!"

"After a few years of hard work, the common people finally understood the painstaking efforts of His Highness the King of Han. Now they are squeezing to send their children to this free school. Children who leave the school will find it easier to find work, and their salaries will also be lower. It’s higher, so it’s time well spent.”

"Especially for some children with higher talents, they will be favored by the master craftsmen and brought directly to Xishan for careful training. Their families will also be given a considerable settling-in allowance, which is enough for ordinary people's families to eat and drink for several years. Don’t worry anymore…”

After hearing Nie Xing's words, everyone fell silent again.

It is not difficult to know from his words that the people of Beizhili have already recognized this free school.

At the same time, they completely reversed their derogatory view of craftsmen and even began to respect them.

After all, my children have learned things in school and will have a better future.

Moreover, along with the school’s various reward systems, your own children even have the opportunity to “get ahead”!

Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, was so generous!

He actually single-handedly managed to reverse the world's disdain for craftsmen by opening this craftsman school!

When he thought of this, Yang Shiqi felt even more uneasy, and Wang Jing also panicked.

No matter how miserable Cheng and Zhu Jinshen are, what the court always needs are scholars, not just craftsmen!

Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Han is doing these things in Beizhili because he wants craftsmen to completely replace scholars?

"It costs a lot to pay for a child to go to school, right?" Yang Shiqi changed his mind.

This question is about whether the King of Han was amassing money and corrupting himself.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu has opened so many free schools in North Zhili of Ming Dynasty and has never charged fees. So where should the money come from?

Craftsmen can come to the school to teach for free because of the Craftsmen's Union and the Royal Manufacturing Bureau.

But most of them are literati and teachers who are stationed here. Their basic food and clothing must be guaranteed, right?

"It's quite heavy, but running schools for free is the purpose of His Highness the King of Han Dynasty. The funds for maintaining the normal operation of schools are all responsible for the Royal Education Bureau, and there are dedicated personnel responsible for inspecting various state capitals. Once problems are found in local schools, they will be held accountable Local government.”

Everyone: "???"

What?

What the hell?

Royal Education Bureau?

What the hell is this?

Everyone subconsciously looked at Wang Jing, the Minister of Rites, who was stunned.

Damn it, didn't Prince Han create an academic department to take charge of the world's academic and political education?

Why is there now another "Royal Education Bureau"?

So what is the school department?

If Xie Gongbao learns about this, he will definitely be sad!

And just like the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, the Royal Education Bureau has "Royal" in front of it.

With two words, one can see that his status and power are not small, I am afraid he is still above the academic department!

Yang Shiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only continue to ask: "Then where does the funding for the Royal Education Bureau come from? Is it possible that His Highness the King of Han himself donated money to open the school?"

Even if Yang Shiqi believes that His Highness the King of Han has such kind intentions, if he continues to run schools for free like this, even if the Han Palace has gold and silver, he will not be able to bear it!

Maybe it doesn't cost much to enroll a child, but looking at the entire Beizhili, there are thousands of free schools with hundreds of thousands of teachers and students, and the expenditure will be an extremely terrifying figure!

Nie Xing nodded when he heard this and sighed: "That's true! His Highness the King of Han paid for the school and almost emptied the Han Palace. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

"Fortunately, the business circle in Peiping is gradually getting back on track. The huge revenue brought by the new commercial tax is enough to support the normal operation of schools throughout Beizhili. It is even possible to open hundreds of free schools!"

Everyone: "!!!"

New business tax!

Huge gains!

There is no problem in supporting the operation of the school!

Hiss... Hanwang Zhu Gaoxu really invented a new business tax?

And from what Nie Xing said, it seems that the new business tax is quite successful?

Yang Shiqi looked at Nie Xing subconsciously and asked solemnly.

"Nie Zhuangshi, may I ask how much the new commercial tax will be in a year?"

Nie Xing stretched out a finger when he heard this, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Seeing this situation, Yang Shiqi was stunned.

"Ten thousand taels?"

Nie Xing shook his head with disdain.

"One hundred thousand taels?"

Yang Shiqi asked again, already a little frightened.

One hundred thousand taels is already a lot!

As far as Yang Shiqi knew, the total commercial and miscellaneous taxes in the entire Ming Dynasty in the past year were only one million taels of silver, which was better than nothing.

But now a person in Beizhili has a commercial tax of 100,000 taels a year. So the new commercial tax of Han King Zhu Gaoxu really has merit!

Yang Shiqi was thinking about it when he saw Nie Xing actually shook his head.

Um?

What's the meaning?

Isn't it one hundred thousand taels?

That is……

Suddenly, Yang Shiqi thought of a terrifying number, with a look of horror on his face.

Everyone also guessed the correct answer one after another. Everyone was trembling with excitement, but they did not dare to say a word.

"Master Yang, the situation is too small!"

"Not ten thousand taels, nor one hundred thousand taels, but one million taels!"

"And with the development of Beiping's business, this number is still growing!"

Everyone: "!!!"
