Chapter 3579 Public Academy

Yun Dai believes that even if she doesn't care about them at all now, in a few years, the eight major families will not even be able to compare with ordinary official families.

She won't beat up a drowned dog, not that she is very kind.

She is the queen, there is no need for the people to feel that she is petty.

There is no need to make people think that the royal family is uncaring and unkind.

That would be detrimental to the future emperor's rule.

After eliminating the control of the eight major families, Northern Qi began to develop rapidly in the direction of strength.

After being exempted from taxes for three years, every grain collected by the people belongs to them, and their enthusiasm will be higher.

As a result, the entire Northern Qi Dynasty showed a trend of prosperity.

After the autumn of last year, Zhao Yuanjing and Han Yu served as examiners and selected many talented people.

At the same time, several female Jinshi were also selected.

Even the number one scholar is a woman.

After the news came out, the whole Northern Qi Dynasty was shocked.

Not only can women take the imperial examinations openly, but they can also become the number one scholar? !

From here on, the status of women in the Northern Qi Dynasty rose even further.

There are far fewer cases of people forcing women to give birth to boys, and the cases of abandoning and killing girls have also been greatly reduced.

Not only that, in the past, families that believed it was virtuous for a woman to have no talent would even take the initiative to invite men to be their husbands. Of course, not everyone can afford to have a teacher at home.

What about people who don’t have money but also want their girls to study?

I can only go to private school.

But what should the male and female defense do?

Although many people no longer favor boys over girls, it is difficult to change these feudal ethics in a short period of time.

In this regard, Yun Dai and Qing Bai discussed building an academy in the capital and recruiting students openly, regardless of gender.

Yun Dai serves as the dean and occasionally teaches classes in person.

With Her Majesty the Queen teaching in person, who would care about guarding men and women and crazily throwing their sons and daughters into the academy.

In just half a day, one hundred places for first-level students were taken away.

Many people who were not named were aggrieved.

This matter was easy to handle. Yun Dai put little thought into it and just applied modern methods, dividing the capital into several districts, building an academy in each district, and hiring prestigious scholars as tutors.

To enroll in school, you need to pay tuition.

Of course, the tuition fee is not too much and it is an amount that ordinary people can afford.

If the fee collected is small, the court will inevitably lose money.

Xiao Ran held the account book and followed Yun Dai muttering for several days. Because Yun Dai is still urging local officials to follow the model in the capital and establish such colleges in various places.

But the more unprofitable academies opened, the more money the court would bear.

How much money can the imperial court have to withstand such consumption?

Xiao Ran's worry is not unreasonable.

Seeing that there was so much going out and so little coming in, Xiao Ran felt terribly distressed and pestered Yun Dai to try to get her to stop running the academy.

Yun Dai was unmoved and said: "This is a major national event that will benefit generations to come. As an important minister of the court, don't be short-sighted and worry about the little money."

"A little money?" Xiao Ran cried heartbrokenly, "My Majesty, this is not just one or two academies. You require that at least every town have a public academy funded by the court. This expense is not just a day or two, but also It’s not a year or two.”

"I know." Yun Dai said with a smile, "I didn't set up the academy to make money. I will survive for three years first, and then collect taxes from the people after three years, and this subsidy will be there. Take it from the people, and use it for others. People."
