Chapter 88 The first step to end the imperial power without going to the countryside

Zhao Huan thought that he was the emperor, so there was no need to worry about money. It was really not possible. Isn’t there Zhao Jixiang? He had a good meal and a good living in Longde Palace. If he had nothing to do, he would create a few more calligraphy and paintings. That was money?

As long as you have money, isn’t it a slight thing to start a school? Then, you can skip the Ming Dynasty’s social school appearance, directly copy the compulsory education model of future generations, and directly grasp the right to speak in your own hands from the source.

The people are indeed stupid sometimes, but they are also smart. They know who is good to them!

After making up his mind, Zhao Huan simply said with a smile: "I have paid for the money to build a school this year. By the end of the year, let's see how much money the Ministry of Revenue can spend, and take 10% of it to build schools and education."

Speaking of this, Zhao Huan became more energetic: "By the way, the two dear ministers might as well make a good work and see what I have to do in the next five years of the Song Dynasty. It is divided into priorities and the Ministry of Revenue makes a budget and then allocates funds according to the budget."

Li Gang and Li Ruobing bowed together, but they didn't agree with it.

Of course, the idea of ​​the government is good, but the biggest obstacle to this five-year plan is the government today. What is the difference between doing and not doing it? Or is it that the Ministry of Revenue will reserve some of the money early and be ready to supply the government to attack the Jin Kingdom or the Xixia at any time?

When they thought of this, Li Gang and Li Ruobing felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing that Zhao Huan seemed to have nothing else to do, they were ready to say goodbye.

But Zhao Huan suddenly remembered something again, called Li Gang and Li Ruobing and said, "This year's Spring Examination and Autumn Examination are fine. When the next Spring Examination, I plan to add one more riding and shooting. Those with three arrows of ten can get extra points.

After the school is completed next year, the riding and shooting item will be directly spread in the school. When the students in the second year of Jingkang take the exam, the riding and shooting will be added from the provincial examination. Three out of ten are qualified. Those who fail the qualifications are not allowed to participate in the spring examination, and they will not be awarded an official position."

“…”

Zhao Huan felt that this matter should be a big deal. There would be radio gymnastics in later generations. There was no radio gymnastics in the Song Dynasty, so it would be replaced by riding and shooting.

The most important thing is that when this group of students grow up, they can completely destroy other people's places like those good families who brought their own soldiers and armor and dry food to conquer.

Moreover, these people can also catch laborers - even if they spend money to buy labor from them, it is much lower than hiring the people of the Song Dynasty to do it!

But Li Gang and Li Ruobing felt that they had a lot of words to say, and even had the urge to rush to the official house to squirt him with a fishy look on their face!

After thinking about it, Li Gang bowed and said, "With the idea of ​​Daxing School in the past, I don't know how many people I need to teach riding and shooting in the school? I don't know how many war horses I need?

By the eighth year of Yuanfeng, our Song Dynasty had fourteen prefectures and two hundred and forty prefectures. As for counties, there were probably no less than a thousand villages and towns under the county. It would be better if one county and one school. If the officials said before, there would be one school in several villages or even one village, but it would be afraid that the riding and shooting teachers would be less than 100,000, and the number of bows and horses required was even more difficult to count."

“It’s easy to handle instructors.”

Zhao Huan said hmmingly: "Many old soldiers in the army can no longer go to the battle formation, and many wounded soldiers are difficult to follow the battle. They just happened to let them go to various schools to serve as riding and shooting teachers, and by the way, tell the children the truth about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

But Li Gang and Li Ruobing were even more worried.

It would be fine if it was the former imperial guards. After all, hundreds of thousands of imperial guards were basically all useless. In addition, being a cavalry instructor is both rich and face-saving, so I guess I can't cause any big trouble.

But looking at the official's words, it is obviously not the turn of the people who are the imperial guards. Instead, they gave all the places to the old soldiers and wounded soldiers in the army today.

But the problem lies here-

Which of the old soldiers and wounded soldiers who went to fight with the official family now is not the one who kills people on the battlefield? Dan Fan has a little hesitation and soft-heartedness, and probably has been hacked to death long ago!

If we really follow what the officials said, and slowly spread all the 100,000 veterans and wounded soldiers into the village, there would probably be no need to be too many. There were only one village with three or five veterans and wounded soldiers who were going to cause trouble, and the place would be in chaos!

But Zhao Huan felt it didn't matter.

Although these veterans and wounded soldiers who survived on the battlefield were all killing people, once these people put down their swords and guns and returned to the village, they would be the best farmers and would not be in trouble at all.

Even if we take a step back, there were indeed a few scum among these people, and the local governments could not control them. Zhao Huan was not worried either. After all, there were newly cultivated imperial guards, as well as the Imperial City Department and the Palace Front Department, which was enough to send anyone out to clean up the portal.

But if some local government can really force them to rebel, then the emperor Zhao Huan must reflect and see if he has done something wrong and should he kill a few local officials to sacrifice to the sky? Otherwise, these veterans who follow him to fight against the country will rebel?

The most important point is that Zhao Huan intends to gradually strengthen these people's voice in the local area. After all, the loyalty of these people is unquestionable. By strengthening these people's influence in the local area, it is equivalent to strengthening Zhao Huan's control over the local area in disguise. By that time, the so-called imperial power will not go to the countryside, and will naturally become a cloud of smoke from the past with the problems of division caused by the ladder tax rate.

"Cooking cake~~~ The fragrant and big cooking cake~~~"

"Peach~~~Sweet and sweet peach~~~"

After Li Gang and Li Ruobing bid farewell and left the palace, Zhao Huan, who had finally walked in the palace, actually heard the hawking sound from afar.

The people of the Song Dynasty were so arrogant that they were hawking under the walls of the palace city. The imperial guards guarding the imperial city had long been accustomed to it, allowing the people to hawk outside the palace city, and no one went to expel them.

Zhao Huan also smiled and shook his head, then left this matter behind.

The people were willing to sell things under the walls of the palace and the city. This was a tradition left by the Song Dynasty's long-standing people-friendly policy, and it seemed that there was no harm in continuing to maintain it.

However, Zhao Huan's good mood only lasted for less than half an hour—
