It is better to attack His Royal Highness than to compete in the world

Ren Chengqing had an idea early on to build a free school, so that the nation can be strong only when the people are strong.People's lives are not easy, and it is rare to have spare money to send their children to school. If this situation does not change, she will not hold more imperial examinations.Su Yan's thoughts coincided with Ren Chengqing's. Not only did he agree with Ren Chengqing's establishment of a school, he also suggested that Ren Chengqing encourage childbirth.

Su Yan mainly considers two points. One is to increase the population base, so the probability of talents will be high. The other is to focus on war. Once a war starts, it will inevitably lead to population decline, especially young and middle-aged men.

Jiang Shang has no objection to the establishment of a school, as long as the court can afford it, but he does not agree with encouraging births: "Master Su's words are wrong, and it is still unknown whether there will be a war or not, but once the population is encouraged, it may lead to overpopulation in the Northern Desert. If you can’t support these people, it’s a crime.”

"There must be war, there is no unknown. If there is no war, Prime Minister Jiang thought that Xijing would hand over the country? What's wrong with making preparations in advance? If you can't support yourself, you will die. Survival of the fittest, and those who are eliminated are the old, weak and sick Disabled, not my main force in Beimo."

"Presumptuous, what a crime."

"Master Jiang, Prime Minister Jiang, if your aristocratic family takes out all the surplus food in the family, you will definitely not starve to death. What do you think?"

Hearing that the two were attacking each other, Ren Chengqing also scolded them, the two were not afraid of each other by nature, Su Yan hated the family, Jiang Shang couldn't understand Su Yan's unscrupulous methods. "Enough. What do you think of Ah Zhuo and Li Sheng?"

"I think we can increase the amount of grain stored and encourage fertility when there are enough grain reserves."

After Ren Chengzhuo finished speaking, Li Sheng answered: "What Your Highness said is very true. We can let the Ministry of Households start preparations first. If there is no natural disaster, there should be no tragedy. If there is a natural disaster, it is not what we can predict now. .And we can control the population within a reasonable range, reward more births, and punish more births.”

Ren Chengqing nodded appreciatively to Li Sheng. Among these people, Su Yan was extreme, Jiang Shang was conservative, Ah Zhuo was immature, and only Li Sheng was just right.

Ren Chengqing adopted Li Sheng's suggestion, asked the household department to store food in advance, and controlled the number of rewards for multiple births within a reasonable range, and then discussed the establishment of a school.

Establishing a school seems to be a waste of money, but it is not necessary. The school is based on the city, and the government provides the venue, teachers, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.The problem is how to get people to send their children to school.Ordinary people's half-year-old children are laborers. Rich people hire private husbands. It just so happens that there are so many families who have a little surplus food and can't afford the money to hire a husband. The policy of not being good has become superficial.

Li Sheng took the lead in proposing a solution: "I think we can start from two aspects. One is to encourage schooling. Anyone who sends a child to school at home will be rewarded with silver or food. The other is to invite celebrities to teach and attract students to come here."

Jiang Shang was the first to agree: "Li Shilang's words are reasonable, but the two cannot work at the same time. Most of the children who are tempted by the money to send their heirs to become scholars are humble, and most of these students are not enlightened. Teaching a celebrity is no less than playing the piano with a cow."

"Jiang Xiang is right, I was negligent."

"Li Shilang is welcome." Jiang Shang continued: "I think government colleges can also be graded. Enlightenment education can be lured with rewards. After the enlightenment education, you can officially enter the school. At this time, you can no longer reward, but delete the selection. Entrance to school is largely due to one's own diligence. At this time, it is only appropriate to be taught by celebrities."

What Jiang Shang said was reasonable, but Su Yan dismissed it: "Master Jiang also said that being tempted by money to send his heirs to study is mostly vulgar, so what is the future for the heirs of such people? The government's free husband is already a favor. It’s ridiculous to offer rewards.”

"Impoverished people can't even eat enough to eat, Master Su has any good ideas.""

The imperial court cannot cover everything.Being able to reduce tuition fees is already the greatest reward, and those who are willing to learn will always find a way to do so.Rewards are not desirable, and people's greed is endless. "Su Yan firmly disapproved of rewarding admissions.

Ren Chengqing thought about it for a while, and still adopted Jiang Shang's opinion. Although what Su Yan said was reasonable, it would be great if more children could go to school because of greed.This matter was directly handed over to Li Sheng.

In addition to the above two policies, Ren Chengqing also promulgated a decree for the selection of female officials.Recruit talented and virtuous women as female officials, do not walk in front of the palace, but set ranks and have salaries.Now that His Majesty is a woman, there is nothing wrong with choosing a female officer.Talented women mostly come from aristocratic families, and the aristocratic families look down on the little salary, but female officials live in the palace, often accompany the queen, and have more opportunities to contact the political center and wealthy families, so they have moved their minds.For a while, the worth of a female wife has increased several times.
