Chapter 93 [Fixing Leaks and Filling in Deficiencies]
Lin Zhibai paid money, which means that the promotion of basic education will not occupy the infrastructure budget from the current treasury revenue.
After not adding pressure to the emperor on the treasury, implementing basic education will be beneficial to the ministers without any harm.
The more realistic thing is that there are more young people literate, and when recruiting staff in various shops, they save a lot of training efforts.
Many of their family members who are not up to school or down have an extra channel to make a living and can apply for a teacher.
In addition, many of them have their own industries related to book printing. Lin Zhibai wants to promote education and they can also take the opportunity to sell all kinds of necessary reference books and other things to make money.
In addition, with more court business, the demand for officials will also increase. For many promising officials who have not yet obtained important positions, this is also an opportunity to expand employment.
The disadvantages cannot be said to be none, but they can basically be ignored.
Anyway, their descendants want to be officials as officials, and they are not the kind of family that monopolized all channels of advancement and could enjoy the protection of their ancestors at will.
The popularization of education will increase the difficulty of intra-sampling of the imperial examinations, but now it is already very simple, and it will not be much easier than it is now.
At this time, the Supreme Emperor Lin Ze also realized that if the generalization of basic education is actually promoted, everyone in the world should be good at the royal family, and the morale of the army can be used as the people's will, and in addition, they can ensure control over advanced warriors.
Not only will it not affect the rule of the royal family, but it can deepen the rule of the royal family.
The emperor wants everyone to practice martial arts, everyone to study, and everyone is like a dragon. The current popularization of basic education should be the beginning.
To be honest, Lin Ze also wants to see the grand scene where everyone is like a dragon. I think it must be very spectacular, right?
Looking at the Sichuan Opera changing faces, Lin Zhibai felt a little funny.
This reminded him of a very classic joke that he had personally experienced.
"Do you have a meal?"
"Don't eat, don't be hungry."
"I'll treat you."
"good."
......
After confirming that the popularization of basic education was promoted, Lin Zhibai expressed his plans.
The ministers had no objection to the fact that the school managed a meal and gave teachers a generous salary. They knew that those farmers would rather let their children do some chores at home than send them to school if they didn't do this.
He began to help Lin Zhibai's simple plan to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
"Your Majesty, textbooks must not be short, otherwise the learning effect will be greatly reduced. I suggest that you distribute certain basic textbooks to each student, or prepare more textbooks in the school, teach students in batches and use them in turns."
"Your Majesty's budget is 100 million taels of silver per year. It is really difficult to manage food and textbooks for every student. It is better to pay additional taxes to various places to subsidize fiscal expenditures."
"Publicizing the popularization of basic education is good governance, and it is truly taken from the people and used by the people. I think merchants and farmers in various places will not have too many complaints. After all, they will benefit themselves. In addition to raising taxes, they can also raise funds."
"You can also arrange the best in compulsory education to serve as teacher assistance and help with teaching tasks, so that the number of teachers will be much smaller and a large amount of budget can be saved."
"In the early stage, we can use food to attract people all over the world to send their children to school. Then we should inform the people more about the benefits of studying and tell them that they can live a good life after studying, so that they will take the initiative to study, which can save a lot of financial expenses."
"School officials should be established to supervise the construction of schools in various places, as well as popularize basic education, prevent fraud and corruption, etc. In schools, they should also teach loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, so that they know that it is the merit of Your Majesty who can read."
Everyone said and said something, and soon they went from gathering together to how to save money.
Then we talked about how to implement it in detail. It is better for those people to be responsible for the promotion of basic education.
Lin Zhibai was practicing the inner strength and mind on the throne, while sharing some thoughts and listening quietly.
This is the effect he wants.
It is certainly possible to force everyone to promote basic education and ensure his income from the treasury, but it will undoubtedly make many officials dissatisfied, and then put pressure on the lower-level people in order to achieve the target.
In the end, it is easy to turn a good policy into a bad policy that harms the people.
As now, everyone is convinced and working together to do something and fully mobilize subjective initiative, so that they can do a good job and do it quickly and well.
At the end, through the joint efforts of many ministers, Lin Zhibai found that his budget of 100 million taels of silver was achieved by his ministers of almost 150 million taels.
Among them are the money-saving parts, and some are the parts that the ministers believe can open source.
If basic education is popularized, it may not take 30 years for the entire Dahua Dynasty to drop to less than 50%.
"There is no need for adults to enforce literacy. First, the learning ability becomes lower after adolescence, and second, they will basically not be able to use it after they learn to read, but certain measures can be taken in this regard.
"Some literacy schools for adults can be set up in various places. If adults are poor, they will think of changing and become late and evolve into high-end scholars? This possibility cannot be ignored.
"In addition, these young people who read literacy are the way out. Now that businesses are developing vigorously in various places, they are not difficult to find jobs. Those who are motivated can also study at their own expense while working.
"The system of the imperial examination is ready-made, so there is no need to worry too much, or it is a way out to learn martial arts. In this way, the inheritance of warriors in various sects will also reduce the trouble of teaching disciples to read, which is conducive to the expansion of the warrior queue.
"Even if it is limited to resources, many martial artists can only become ordinary good players. Once the number of these warriors at the level of one or ten good players is increased, the overall Dahua's fundamental combat power will be greatly enhanced, and it will be more beneficial to the outside world."
Listening to their end of the conversation, Lin Zhibai's thoughts also came to an end.
After mentioning the literacy of adults, Lin Zhibai ended this court meeting.
In the next period of time, officials from the court education sector will be responsible for implementing Lin Zhibai's policies.
In addition to their superior officials' supervision work, some Hongwei also pay attention to this work. Of course, the most important thing is that the Supreme Emperor Lin Ze is also very concerned about this work.
In this case, Lin Zhibai only needs to pay attention to the progress of the implementation of the basic education popularization plan during the intervals of his practice, which is enough.
