In the end, the emperor said that it would be discussed after the pressure, and asked the ministers to make a note and recommend some candidates.

The matter of the mine came to an end, and the First Prince wanted to clarify the matter of the colony.At this time, the prince stepped forward and said, "Father, I propose to establish a Baigong Academy near the capital."

"Oh! Let's talk about it." The emperor said in a nonchalant manner. Originally, the emperor thought that the prince was going to talk about the colony.

"Baigong Academy is to hire some people who have a craft. Then come to teach the children of common people who want to learn a craft, orphans or beggars in the Yangsheng Hall, so that they have the ability to settle down and establish a career."

"According to what the prince said, this student doesn't charge fees anymore?" The eldest prince couldn't help but asked back, thinking in his heart that to run this academy, the money can be said to flow out continuously.I was also thinking about trying my best to get the court to spend more money to expand the army and prepare for the war.

"Of course not. As the saying goes, 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish.' It costs money to set up the Baigong Institute. Now that the country has discovered many new minerals, the treasury still has a surplus, so it can naturally support it. But in the future If there are other urgent matters, the Baigong Academy will be easily interrupted.

What I mean by this palace is that those with a decent family background can study for one year and pay for one year.And those who want to learn a craft but have no money can sign a contract with Baigong Academy.After completing the studies, it will take at least three to five years, and at most ten years to pay off the tuition fees for studying in Baigong College. "

"In this way, besides the previous expenses, Baigong Academy doesn't need to continue to invest in it later." The Ninth Prince continued, "Father, you can try this."

The Ninth Prince thought in his heart that after the students from that academy graduated, it would be easier to recruit people for his shop.As a prince, it is not impossible for his shop to recruit workers.But there are some problems with the quality. After the Baigong Academy is established, there will definitely be many craftsmen.At that time, it will never happen that one's own shop cannot recruit good-quality craftsmen.

As for whether those learned people will choose their own shops, this is not a problem at all.Anyway, it is also run by the imperial court. Can a prince like himself recruit well-educated people?Thinking about it this way, the Ninth Prince was the first to stand up and agree with the Prince's proposal.

"That's only one near the capital, what about other places?" The fourth prince also asked.

"When the Baigong Academy near the capital is well established, it will be gradually promoted." The prince replied kindly.

"After a long time like this, if there are more craftsmen, will it cause some craftsmen to find jobs? After all, there are only so many places in our country that need craftsmen every year. What should we do if there are too many craftsmen? Also, some ordinary people used to I know some rough carpentry skills and so on. In my spare time, I will pick up some nearby jobs and go back to do them to fill the house. In this way, won't they cut off their way?" A courtier at the bottom said with a heavy heart.

This courtier was born in a farming and studying family. When he was young, someone in the family knew some carpentry skills.At that time, the family provided for him to study, which made the family a little tight.It is the elders in the family who know carpentry, go out to pick up some work during the slack season, so that the family can eat more meat a few times.Although their family doesn't need to do this now, he also knows some other people like this, and he felt worried, so he came forward impulsively.

"Your words are a bit wrong," another courtier said disapprovingly: "They can at least cultivate land, and they still have a few acres of land at home. But those who came out of the nursery hall and those beggars have a worse life. Besides, It will take a few years for those people to learn it. If they want, they can let the kids at home learn it."

"There is another problem here, what if the money can't be collected?" The eighth prince said with a serious face, "What if his house is painted and he is still lazy, unwilling to make progress, and still doesn't pay the money?" ? Also, something happened to the family, and what kind of regulations is it if you don’t pay for it?”

The eldest prince also reflected it at this time, and the eldest prince cursed inwardly, the prince is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.At first, I didn't realize why the prince suddenly set up a Baigong Academy?Isn't the most important thing now is the colony?But after reacting, I had to praise the prince's hand.

If you want to establish colonies in other overseas countries, of course you don't need to prepare more.After the fight is over, there will naturally be people from the country who are chasing interests.But now the prince wants to re-establish a country overseas, so there are many things needed.

The first one is that depending on the situation, the occupied place must be a slightly barren place.Then a lot of craftsmen are needed to build cities and villages.Looking at the country across the sea, it didn't gradually improve after the imperial court went to sea to seek immortality there.If Qiuxian's fleet hadn't brought so many craftsmen, their country would have developed to this point.

In addition, at the border of the country, there have been cases of captive artisans before.How can we develop without artisans?Without craftsmen, who will make the weapons for the army?Who built the house?Even the guy who cooks must have a craftsman.

In this way, there is another problem that there are only so many craftsmen.Even if some can be sent out, how much can be sent.The prince proposed to set up a Baigong Academy to solve all the problems, so that the number of craftsmen is sufficient.Moreover, the competition among artisans has increased, and there will be more artisans who are willing to go to the colonies.After all, not everyone is willing to go to the colonies, and the traditional thinking of our country is 'the homeland is hard to leave'.

Hearing the Eighth Prince's words, the eldest prince said with a solemn expression: "Who dares to default on the money owed to the court, as for those who still pay the money due to accidents, there can be a grace period. He can't always have accidents and still not pay Money! If there is such a bad luck, I want to see it. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t pay it back, just treat him as sympathy.”

Indeed, I haven't seen that family dare to owe money to the court.Apart from the group of nobles, I really didn't see many people who could ignore the fact that they owed money to the court.

"Actually, you can repay part of the money every month according to the money you can earn. In this way, it will be easier for those who repay the loan. Baigong College can also have income every month. What can you do? It's also convenient." The prince waited for the eldest prince to finish speaking and then received it.

After listening to the discussion below, the emperor felt that this matter was feasible.After the opening of the Baigong School, it will improve the lives of many people.The emperor was not interested in changing the lives of some people, but because of this Baigong Academy, the number of idlers in society would be reduced.The number of people who join various civil organizations due to poverty and other reasons will decrease, and the stability of the country will increase.

Of course, a large number of mines were discovered, and the court's lack of money was also an important reason.The emperor said: "Okay, this is the end of the discussion. Prince, go down and sort out a plan for this matter, and then pass it to me. Of course, if you have any good ideas, you can also talk to the prince."

When the emperor finished speaking, it meant that the matter had come to an end.The emperor signaled to Director Yu that he could retreat, and he saw the first prince walking out of his ranks.The emperor stroked his forehead, thinking that it could be delayed for a while.In the end, I didn't expect that the crown prince didn't speak out, but the first prince couldn't hold his breath and wanted to speak out.

That's all, anyway, sooner or later it will be said.The eagles in my own family will also abandon their father and fly away.

The emperor knew what the eldest prince wanted to say, and at the same time, he also knew that the eldest prince also heard what the prince said from the prince's spies.At the same time, I also learned that the eldest prince might have the same thoughts as the prince, after all, the emperor has noticed the actions of the eldest prince these days.

After all, wanting to stay in a colony and then establish a country is very different from preparing to fight and make contributions.Moreover, the eldest prince has already disclosed his intentions to some of his confidantes. It is not safe to reveal this intention to the second person, let alone more than two people.

Some ministers below felt a little strange seeing the emperor's expression. The emperor seemed to know what the eldest prince wanted to say, but he didn't want to hear it.These ministers felt that something was wrong recently, and it had been a long time since the First Prince and the Crown Prince had confronted each other.The fourth prince asked the people from the Ministry of Industry to prepare a lot of information about the levee, as well as related records from previous years.The Ninth Prince has tossed about his shop, and it is said that many managers have changed.

Also, the eldest prince's lineage is very active, and the prince doesn't want to do anything.At the same time, the emperor didn't intend to stop it. You must know that the eldest prince is forming a blatant clique.If the emperor is optimistic about the eldest prince, he wants to leave the throne to the eldest prince.

But the emperor has praised the prince a lot recently, and he doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with the prince at all.Moreover, although the prince has not been in frequent contact with his cronies like the eldest prince, the prince's confidants are also very busy recently, what are they doing?

Apart from lamenting that the emperor's mind is becoming more and more difficult to guess, the ministers below must have something to do with the emperor's family, so they can only clamp their tails and wait for the turmoil of this matter to pass and the dust to settle.

I always feel that something is going on, but I don't know it, and this feeling is really uncomfortable.Now those foxes in the court have noticed that what the eldest prince is going to say should have something to do with the abnormality of the royal family during this period.
