My husband is sour every day

Chapter 1122 9-Year Compulsory Education

Even if the ministers had objections to the new emperor's actions, they could only keep them to themselves in the end.

why?

Because no matter who makes the suggestion, Shen Xia will ask that person to find a way to solve the urgent needs of the national treasury.

Shen Xia has a lot of pocket money of his own, but it is impossible for him to always use his own money to supplement the expenses. That would be just a drop in the bucket.

Shen Xia looked at the Grand Tutor: "Grand Tutor, what do you think of this unified examination?"

The Grand Tutor heard His Majesty call his name.

What opinion could he have? He could only say that he was old and could not keep up with His Majesty's new policies.

And he just needs to do his original job well.

As for the rumors outside, the unified examination was just for His Majesty to select concubines for himself.

This is sheer nonsense.

As for the cause of this rumor, it was because His Majesty looked at a handsome student on the day the announcement was issued.

The Grand Tutor stood up and said, "I heard that Lord Song Jin has researched something called glass. I think the Royal Dynasty Department will have a good future."

The government office of the Imperial Court has been completed.

Basically done.

The outer fence has been removed.

Through the bright glass, everyone coming and going can be seen.

I have to say, it is so beautiful.

I just don't know what it's like inside.

Just thinking about it, you can tell that this kind of glass will definitely make the house brighter.

Unlike the window paper we use now, which needs to be replaced every two years.

It also makes the room dark.

I heard that the glass can last for decades.

Someone has been keeping an eye on the aristocratic family for a long time.

I just don’t know when the sales will start, and someone has asked Song Jin about it.

However, Song Jin refused on the grounds that he was following the orders of His Majesty.

Among the businesses that came to Beijing these past two days were agents from Shengshi Fanhua.

Everyone wanted to make an appointment with Song Jin, but Song Jin didn't meet anyone.

Just revealed a little bit, the same pattern as before.

So those agents who brought money always felt that the money was not enough.

He quickly asked his servants to transport the silver to the capital.

Shen Xia: "Well, originally the candidates this time were selected for the Imperial Dynasty Division, but seeing that there were too many applicants, we can choose a few more."

The six ministers of the ministries next to him were also confused.

I heard that His Majesty wanted to leave only 500 people behind.

Five hundred people!

There are not so many places to use people.

Some people are very worried.

Your Majesty, you don't want to replace all the officials, do you?

There was this rumor.

Some people who usually slack off at work now dare not do that at all.

We also have to believe that it was His Majesty who selected the people for the harem.

But it doesn’t feel like it.

There are all kinds of rumors anyway?

At this time, Lord Su reported: "In order to contribute to your majesty's new policy, my eldest son also participated in this unified examination."

Shen Xia was surprised: "Su Yan."

Lord Su would definitely not admit it. He heard that these people might have entered the harem.

Even if there is any possibility, he hopes his son will try it.

Besides, Your Majesty has been on the throne for almost half a year.

In addition to not playing by the rules, he always puts the people first and has unique ideas.

Lord Su thought his son could try this new policy.

If the youngest son was under 18 years old, he could have given it a try.

Lord Su nodded: "Yes."

"under."

"The first of the third case on the right."

Shen Xia looked over.

You have such good eyesight!

The first few rows are still barely visible.

But there is no need to talk about it later.

It’s just that Lord Su is old.

I didn't expect the eyes to be pretty good.

After all, forty is considered old at this age.

Su Yan suddenly felt like he was being watched.

He also looked up.

The two of them happened to look into each other's eyes.

Shen Xia made a smiling expression.

Su Yan nodded.

Shen Xia felt that although Su Yan was not much younger than herself, he was still her student.

There is always a different feeling.

But in Lord Su's eyes, there is hope.

At this time, Gu Zizhan said, "Your Majesty, please eat something."

Shen Xia lowered her head and said, "Take what Gu Zizhan handed over."

Everyone was talking about court affairs again.

Song Jin also joined in and talked about the trade fair.

After all, this exhibition is not only for businessmen.

There are many wealthy families in the capital, so those glass exhibits have to be sold in the capital!

So Song Jin brought a few exhibits here today.

There are all sizes.

There are ornaments and colorful glass tea cups, a set.

It is so beautiful under the sunshine.

Lord Liu looked at the exhibit and said, "This is the newly released seven-color glass lamp."

Song Jin nodded: "Yes."

Lord Su said: "It is so beautiful. This craftsmanship actually comes from our Dajin."

Fan Zifu, who was standing next to him, had the first thought that the national treasury was no longer short of money.

When the Prime Minister saw all this, his first reaction was that the national treasury was no longer short of money.

What I am more curious about is what His Majesty will do next?

At this time, the Prime Minister spoke up: "I heard that this time, His Majesty wants to keep 500 candidates. I wonder how His Majesty will arrange these people?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards His Majesty.

This is the point.

Shen Xia looked at the people doing the questions below.

Shen Xia smiled and said, "Imperial Academy."

From now on, anything undertaken by the royal family will have these two words on it.

For example, the Imperial Bookstore, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Glass Factory.

All are under the management of the Imperial Court.

The Grand Tutor was puzzled: "What is the Imperial Academy?"

Shen Xia looked at everyone and said, "Except for the Imperial Academy, all the academies in the Jin Dynasty are privately-owned. When the treasury has money, my first step will be to establish the Imperial Academy."

"In the future, every prefecture and county in Dajin will establish academies, so that all children of school age in Dajin can study for free."

There are only nine years of compulsory education.

And each provincial capital established a university.

Only those with good grades have the opportunity to study in the provincial capital.

Colleges and universities began to offer scholarships.

The ministers were relatively quiet.

Shen Xia explained what he had to say.

Start education at the age of six, first study for six years in the primary stage, then three years in junior high school.

I am just fifteen years old and can work. If I get good grades, I can go to high school in the provincial capital.

If your grades are good, you can go to Beijing to take the exam.

This model is unheard of by everyone.

Everyone’s first reaction was, how much money would that cost?

I thought the problem of the empty treasury had been solved.

Now let me hear your majesty's thoughts.

It's over, and I still feel empty.

The Grand Tutor said, "Your Majesty, how much silver will this cost?"

Shen Xia said, "It doesn't cost much money."

how come?

Shen Xia said, "Studying is free, but food and accommodation still cost money, of course not much. My goal is that there will be no illiterate people in Dajin in many years."

There is no illiterate person in Dajin.

For thousands of years, no matter which dynasty or emperor, I'm afraid no one would have such a wish!

How can this not be shocking?

At this time, the Prime Minister said: "Although reading is free, books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone are also expensive!"

Shen Xia smiled and said, "So last time I said that I would open a royal bookstore."

In the future, royal bookstores will also serve as postal services.

Letters and items can be sent by mail.

Everyone then thought about the purpose of opening a bookstore that His Majesty had mentioned before.

Shen Xia: "All books in the country are produced uniformly and sold at a reasonable price, so there is no need to worry about the price. Since I intend to ensure that all children have books to read, I will definitely reduce the cost of reading."
