I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"Of course, it is also possible to let grassroots military officers enter the Imperial Academy in batches, and select generals with sufficient experience in battle as instructors to improve the quality of military personnel."

Zhu Youxiao felt a little interesting.

What interested him was not that Han Yu had guessed his own idea, but that the current leader of Donglin and the chief assistant of the cabinet actually asked for the establishment of a martial arts academy.

This is really the first time the sun has come out from the west!

Seeing the news of the establishment of the Imperial College in Spain, the first thing Zhu You thought of was why he couldn't build one himself?

What Han Yu said just now hit his target.

Those literati who have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood are all ambitious and proud of criticizing the government. It is really impossible to expect them to do their best for themselves.

Even if there are, they are very few!

What is the most popular in various places now?The most refugees!

With more refugees, there are also more homeless children. These children who cannot eat enough, do not wear warm clothes, and have problems surviving are the successors that Zhu Youxue values.

To put it simply, after the establishment of the Imperial College, it will be divided into two colleges of literature and military.

In the Academy of Arts, Zhu Youxiao doesn't expect them to make a difference in the short term. This is a long-term investment. If it is useful, it will add a permanent benefit to Daming within ten years.

Even if it's useless, that's okay. It's just a loss of money and manpower to abolish it as soon as possible.

After the first batch of Imperial College literati grow up, the second and third batches will continue to flow. These people can go deep into various fields and shine as grassroots officials.

They are different from the scholars who study dead books. These people will have a heart of patriotism in their hearts. It is their appeal to make Daming stronger and more stable.

As for the martial arts academy, Zhu Youxiao wanted to learn from Napoleon.

Later Napoleon established a military academy and allowed all officers to enter the military academy for further studies. In one week, he built the French army into a strong army with a team of high-quality officers.

Once such an army takes shape, it is extremely terrifying.

Zhu Youxiao also planned to use the shortest possible time to let the grassroots generals of the martial arts academy quickly graduate, and then return to their troops to study while staying.

Napoleon set seven days.

Judging from the general literacy level of people today, seven days is definitely not enough.

Zhu Youxiao decided to select a group of generals who had experienced actual combat as instructors, and personally served as the dean of the Imperial College.

To put it simply, Imperial College will spend one month teaching these generals who do not know a single character to read and write, as well as the most basic knowledge of war.

A batch of martial arts academy students graduate every month, this speed is enough, more haste makes waste!

Zhu Youxiao has a long-term vision.

The last battle in the Southwest, as well as Wang Huazhen's actions in Liaodong, made Zhu Youxiao see the weakness of the generals' war knowledge in this era, as well as the pedantry of the scholars.

If there is chaos in the Southwest, the local court generals will have studied at the Imperial College for a month, which can avoid many unnecessary casualties.

It may even end the chaos in the Southwest ahead of schedule.

Chapter 213 Site Selection Dispute

Cabinet signing room.

Compared with the Xinuang Pavilion, which has both the majesty and charm of the emperor, it is also in the Forbidden City, but it exudes a strong smell of corruption.

Several cabinet ministers stared wide-eyed, but did not choose to speak first.

A ray of sunlight shone through the window eaves and shone on the signing room, making the drowsy chief minister of the cabinet open his slightly tired eyes.

"Ah, are they all here?"

"Today, I called all my colleagues to sign the mortgage house. It is to discuss the matter of choosing a site to build the college as soon as possible. Let's talk about it. Where is the best place?"

"Your Majesty, you are very caring."

As he spoke, Han Yu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, feeling the aftertaste of the warm tea in his mouth. Then he closed his eyes and quietly listened to the whispered discussions of the remaining cabinet ministers.

"Ugh……"

Not knowing what to think of, Han Yu sighed lightly.

In the early years, the grand occasion when Donglin party members were in full power, now it no longer exists. Looking back at the time, the cabinet was full of Donglin party ministers, it can be said to be very prosperous.

Although Han Yu said that he was gentle, he was also a member of the Donglin Party after all.

Looking at the current cabinet, it is full of smog, and everyone is flocking to Wei Xie, which really makes him not interested in discussing anything.

Things like learning from Franz and setting up the Imperial Academy.

The pedantic Han Yu disagreed in his heart, but he knew that his objection was useless, and it might bring death to the whole family and the nine clans, so he didn't say anything.

My chief assistant is the last fig leaf for Donglin's party officials.

Now that the emperor had made up his mind, the "eunuch" ministers in the cabinet had nothing to say. They directly bypassed the issue of whether the Imperial College should be established, and jumped to the best location.

"A few days ago, Sun Neng, a wealthy businessman, protested against the imperial court's increase of mining tax in Zhili. His house was confiscated by Dongchang, and more than [-] houses in Sun's house were turned into vacant land."

"Now it seems that the Imperial College can be established here."

As soon as Wei Guangwei, a scholar of Dongge University, finished speaking, he was opposed by Wang Zaijin. He muttered:

"The Sun Mansion is not good. The 100 mu of land is huge compared to ordinary people, but it is definitely not enough to build the Imperial College."

Gu Bingqian frowned and said:

"More than 100 mu is not enough. If you want to add more than [-] abandoned houses that have been vacant for more than a year in the Nursing Home next to Sun's Mansion, this should be almost [-] mu of land."

"It's still not enough..." Wang Zaijin still shook his head.

"That's not enough, so how big is the Imperial College?" Gu Bingqian was a little puzzled, and sneered a few times, thinking that Wang Zaijin was deliberately exaggerating.

In his heart, although Wang Zaijin was highly regarded by the emperor, it did not mean that he was born in Donglin.

Just being born in Donglin is not a big deal, Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei, as the current eunuchs, were once important ministers of Donglin.

The most important thing is that Wang Zaijin ranks in the military computer room, and there is no sign of entering the eunuch party. I don't know if he plans to return to Donglin.

Even if he didn't go back to Donglin, he must have feelings for Donglin, otherwise why didn't he give up his reputation and join the Wei Party like him and Wei Guangwei.

"How big?"

Wang Zaijin glanced at it and said contemptuously:

"Fortunately, you are still a cabinet scholar, how did you ask such short-sighted words?"

"Your Majesty established the Imperial College because of Franjiyi's first establishment of the Imperial College in February this year, and he sent it out of his feelings."

"At present, it will be divided into two schools, the civil and military schools. The original intention of the military school is to let all the military officers in the world go to further studies. This is a small scale, okay?"

"Wang Zaijin, who is in the court class, why is his speech so rough?"

Gu Bingqian was an important minister that Wang Zaijin could only look up to when he was in Donglin. Although he joined the Wei party, he joined the cabinet a year before him. To be beaten back like this, he was naturally unwilling and disgraced.

Han Yu from above looked at him, and he also let out a ruthless sigh in his heart.

Although the members of the Eunuch Party all gathered together to please Wei Eunuch, but now it seems that their quality is uneven.

Some people have no ability and rely entirely on flattery.

Some people used to have prestige, but now their reputation is lost, but they are broken. What they dared not do or say in the past is now easy to say.

And like Wang Zaijin and Xiong Tingbi, who are satisfied and only do things for the emperor, no matter Donglin or Eunuch, they look down on them.

If there is no emperor's protection in the future, one can imagine how miserable the end of the two of them will be!

"Ahem——" Han Yu coughed twice in a timely manner, and asked:

"How did the discussion go?"

Gu Bingqian raised his head, but also had to show some face to the chief minister of the cabinet and the only card in Donglin, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Wang Zaijin spoke quickly, but he didn't feel relieved, he cupped his hands and said:

"Elder Ge, I have a plan to meet the current basic needs of Imperial College. Even if it is expanded in the future, it will be enough to accommodate the world's top students."

"Oh——? Tell me!" Han Yan looked very interested.

"Two hundred years ago, Emperor Chengzu ordered the city of Beijing to be built, and ten princes' mansions were built in Dongcheng District for the underage princes to live in front of the domain."

"During the time of Emperor Shenzong, the ten palaces could still play their roles, but today, only King Rui, King Hui, and King Gui live in the ten palaces."

"The Ten Princes' Mansion covers an extremely large area, and the maintenance cost is only for one year, as little as 10 taels. This does not include the special officials responsible for the maintenance of the Ten Kings' Mansion."

"Your Majesty has a younger brother who was granted the title of King Xin last year. You can order the remaining three kings to take over as soon as possible. One palace will be reserved for King Xin to live in when he becomes an adult. The other nine palaces can be abolished and used for the construction of the Imperial Academy."

"Abolish redundant staff, dismantle the raw materials of the Nine Princes' Mansion, and use it to build the Imperial College on the spot."

"In this way, it can not only save a lot of construction costs, but also reduce the cost of maintaining the ten princes' mansion. It can serve multiple purposes."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, there were heated discussions in the cabinet.

Han Yu was a little surprised and asked:

"Will the princes agree to demolish the ten princes' mansion?"

Wang Zaijin sneered.

"They don't need to agree, as long as His Majesty agrees."

Han Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then he was relieved, thinking that the current emperor, even King Fu, would arrest him if he wanted to, so would he care about these uncles?

Even Fu Wang, who was far away in Shanxi, was captured by the capital. These princes in the capital can still go to heaven.

However, he soon thought of another question:

"It's easy to dismantle the Nine Kings' Mansion, but there are hundreds of people officially registered for the maintenance department of the Nine Kings' Mansion. That's not counting the temporary minor officials. Once the department of this scale is abolished, how will we deal with the aftermath?"

Wang Zaijin thought about it for a while, and then he was confident, and said:

"The imperial court can temporarily recruit officials from the nine princes' mansions to build the Imperial Academy, and they will still be paid according to the original salary. If they perform well during the period, they can be elected as the maintenance department of the Imperial Academy."

"What about the bad performers?" Gu Bingqian sneered: "Should we let them go home to farm, and they won't do it, so don't make trouble in Beijing again."

"These officials are all hereditary guards of the ten princes' mansions. After 200 years, they have been acquainted with the relatives and relatives of the emperors from all walks of life. Your king can't live in Jin!"

Wang Zaijin did not return his head, and calmly said:

"When they were in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, they were just holding the salary of the imperial court and not doing practical things. After nearly 200 years, anyone with a little ability should have some wealth, enough to live on."

"Those who don't have any wealth now, even if they stay, they are still mediocre people, and they are just a waste of money and food!"

At the end, Wang Zaijin looked back.

"What are you looking at me for? What do you mean, you're saying I'm a mediocre person?" Gu Bingqian stood up, glaring at each other.

Unmoved by Wang Zaijin, he snorted coldly, which was self-evident.

Chapter 214 Three Kings on the Domain

This cabinet meeting ended in the fierce smell of gunpowder between the two cabinet ministers Wang Zaijin and Gu Bingqian.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Zaijin didn't take it seriously at all. After the spat, he should eat and drink, and when he went out, he was still smiling like a spring breeze.

Naturally, in the eyes of Gu Bingqian, who has a small belly, it can only be that Wang Zaijin is laughing at himself. All of a sudden, his hostility towards Wang Zaijin has completely turned into an endless hatred.

Of course, Wang Zaijin didn't know about the change of Gu Bingqian's mentality, and he just focused on building the Imperial College.

The cabinet decided to demolish the nine palaces of the ten princes and build the Imperial College. Once the news came out, there was an uproar in the capital.

Zhu Changhao, King Rui, Zhu Changrun, King Hui, and Zhu Changying, King Gui, cursed even more when they heard about it. They said that Lao Tzu lived well here, and they lived in peace for decades.

Today, your brain is pumped, and you proposed to the emperor to demolish my house and build an imperial college?

This is because the brain is crowded, the capital is such a big place, there are many vacant houses, you can make it together, why not demolish the king's mansion?

It's nothing to say, whoever loves will come, I won't move!

The funds are in place, and the recruitment notice has been sent out. Right now, a bunch of desperate workers are waiting to start work in the labor camp.

But the attitude of the three princes was so shameless that the construction team of the Imperial College had no way to do it for a while, after all, they were still a serious royal family.

After a few days, the construction of the Imperial College has come to an impasse. In order to maintain the expenses of a large number of labor teams, the court has spent a lot of money.

Not only did the three princes make up their mind not to move, but even the court started a round of scolding.

On this day, Zhu Youjiao was watching the memorial in Xinuange.

Opening one copy was to persuade the court not to start construction, but after throwing it away and opening another copy, it was said that there were too many redundant staff in the ten princes' mansion, and it should have been abolished long ago.
