Chapter 139 Ministry of Education! No Matter How Poor You Are, You Cannot Lack Education!

Xie Jin is panicking now.
He couldn't figure out what the King of Han wanted him to do.
Now that he is in prison, what value does he have to the King of Han?
Unless he first gets himself out of this prison and then reinstates himself...
Moreover, the King of Han just said that this task was completed, which was enough to make him famous throughout the ages!
Just, is this possible?
Being famous and famous throughout the ages is the pursuit of every literati.
But this also means that this pursuit is not so easy to achieve.
Compiling documents has always been what Xie Jin is most proud of.
After all, this collection of documents represents Emperor Yongle's achievements in civil affairs. If he participated in it, he would be successful enough to be recorded by historians and remembered by future generations.
Now, listening to what the King of Han said, is there anything else that is more important than compiling documents?
"I wonder what the mission His Highness the King of Han is talking about?"
Unable to bear his curiosity, Xie Jin took the initiative to ask this question.
Zhu Gaoxu just smiled when he heard this, "I have found many ways to increase the court's financial revenue."
"The effect is very good. After a while, the income of the household department will be greatly increased, and even I, Ming Dynasty, will not be short of money."
Xie Jin: "???"
What?
No shortage of money?
How can this be?
Before Xie Jin was imprisoned, he knew that Xia Yuanji and the prince were worried all day long because of the empty treasury.
Hearing what the King of Han meant, he devised many ways to make money to make up for the emptiness in the treasury.
It’s just that these methods are so effective. Isn’t the national treasury short of money now?
"If the finances are no longer tight, then the imperial court should devote itself to the development of people's livelihood. Therefore, the king decided to open an additional department in addition to the six departments of the imperial court, called the 'Ministry of Education'!"
"The Ministry of Education has the same status as the six ministries and is in charge of the world's academic affairs. Whether it is social studies, county schools, or the academies that are about to be opened, all matters involving education are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education..."
After hearing this, Xie Jin was dumbfounded, with a look of horror on his face.
Ministry of Education?
What the hell is this?
The central administrative agency is divided into six departments: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. This is a customization that has gradually evolved since the pre-Qin period!
This Prince of Han actually wants to break this customization and create a new one!
"Your Highness the King of Han, the world's academic administration is already under the leadership of the Imperial College, so why bother to break the old system and set up another one..."
"This...this is not in line with the ancestral system!"
Jie Jin persuaded him bravely, his heart was beating fast at the moment.
He had a feeling that he was on a pirate ship!
Zhu Gaoxu sneered after hearing this.
"The Imperial College? What is that? The highest institution of learning should look like the highest institution of higher education. The Imperial College offers wine all year round in Beijing. How can we know the teaching status of the universities all over the world? How can we know the learning status of all the students?"
"..."
Jie Jin opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
However, when he saw the look of contempt on Zhu Gaoxu's face, he wisely shut his mouth.
"My Ming Dynasty pursues the national policy of 'nurturing scholars and recruiting scholars'. Talents are the most important foundation for our governance. However, do you know how many children from poor families in various parts of the Ming Dynasty cannot read and go to school?"
"Emperor Taizu Gao established a complete education system, from rural social societies to state government schools, to the Imperial Academy in the capital, from childish enlightenment to students entering school, and then to the imperial examination...
"However, the central and local government schools are just doing their own thing. Without a complete supervision system, the possibility of corruption, bribery, and malpractice for personal gains in local school administration will be greatly increased..."
After hearing this, Xie Jin nodded subconsciously.
Because what Prince Han said was not unintentional, but something that really happened.
For example, as far as county schools are concerned, there are only so many places recommended for admission to state schools. Who will the academic council choose?
A talented but poor boy from a poor family?
Or a child with mediocre talent but from a scholarly family?
Every fool knows how he will choose!
After all, those local gentry have always controlled local resources.
If the county magistrate wants to achieve local achievements, he must rely on these powerful gentry!
Then, even if they reciprocate a favor, it would be very easy for the powerful gentry to take a quota from the county magistrate!
This phenomenon was not limited to the Ming Dynasty, but also happened in all dynasties.
Thinking about it, Xie Jin couldn't help but sigh.
However, at this moment, he heard a word that made his blood boil.
"With tens of millions of mansions, it will shelter all the poor people in the world with joy?!"
Xie Jin saw that the worried-looking Prince Han actually shouted out these words of the sages!
For a moment, Xie Jin saw the divine brilliance in Zhu Gaosui.
"Xiaojie, Emperor Taizu Gao once said that in governing a country, education comes first, and education is based on schools."
"But there are still too few schools in our Ming Dynasty, and the system is too imperfect, so I want to set up a Ministry of Education to specifically manage the academic affairs of our Ming Dynasty. It is independent from the six ministries and no force is allowed to interfere in it!"
“What the Ministry of Education wants to do is to build a mansion for poor children all over the world, so that they can receive a fair education, so that they can have books to read and learn, so that they can pass the imperial examination and change their own destiny... …”
"In this way, our Ming Dynasty will continue to have talented officials who will work tirelessly for the common goal of prosperity..."
The King of Han's words made Xie Jin's blood boil with excitement!
He seems to have found the direction of his struggle!
What else is more exciting than "peaches and plums all over the world, spring light everywhere"?
This is the great ambition of the King of Han to establish the Ministry of Education in spite of the disapproval of the world!
"Xiaojie, join forces with me and let's do a great job!"
"As long as the Ministry of Education accomplishes this, I will allocate 10 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Education to open schools and build academies. This is my order!"
"I want my Ming Dynasty to have schools like forests and gates filled with people all over the world; I want my Ming Dynasty students to have books to read and schools to attend, and even poor families to have noble sons!"
Jie Jin froze on the spot and looked at Zhu Gaoxu blankly.
"The school is like a forest, and the courtyard is full of doors?!"
"Can a poor family produce a noble son?!"
Zhu Gaoxu stood up and waved his fist fiercely.
"The funds from the Ministry of Education are earmarked funds and no one is allowed to touch them without permission!"
"No matter how poor our Ming Dynasty is, no matter how empty our national treasury is, we can't afford education!"
"Xiaojie, what do you think?"
At this moment, Xie Jin seemed to see an emperor who was even more glorious and divine than Emperor Yongle!
At this moment, he abandoned his previous prejudice against the King of Han, stood up decisively, and bowed sincerely.
"On behalf of the students from all over the world, I would like to express my gratitude to His Highness the King of Han for the gift of education. I am willing to serve His Highness the King of Han for his great wish to educate the Ministry of Education. I am willing to die for our cause of education in the Ming Dynasty!"
At this moment, their hearts seemed to be connected!
However, the next second, a cry of surprise came.
The big fat man who was sweating profusely had just arrived. Looking at the tearful Han Wang and Xie Jin in front of them, he was stunned on the spot.
Oh my god!
What's happening here?
Aren't these two guys mortal enemies?
How come they are still "in sync" with each other now?
If I were one step too late, would you two still be in love?
Bah, it’s so annoying!
