Chapter 197: Establishing the Heavenly Monitoring Department! A plunder of the countries!
Zhu Houzhao's order left Yang Heting and Li Dongyang dumbfounded.
They could easily see what Zhu Houzhao was thinking.
This is to make everyone in the Ming Dynasty like a dragon.
It is also to create a prosperous era for the poor people of the Ming Dynasty.
But there is a huge problem here.
That is how there is so much money and talent!
There will be at least tens of millions of people turning ten next year.
If all these people were allowed to go to school.
Not to mention the question of who will farm the land.
How can there be so many teachers in the school?
.....
Yang Heting calculated silently in his mind.
He said, "If this is the case, we need to build at least 300 new schools!"
"We also need tens of thousands of scholars who are capable of teaching!"
"The annual expenditure is at least 10 million taels of silver!"
"Even if Your Majesty really wants everyone to read."
"We also need to provide food and lodging, otherwise people from poor families probably don't have the energy to do so!"
There are indeed many people of the right age in the Ming Dynasty.
But most of them need to farm or support themselves.
A poor family simply cannot afford to support a person who only knows how to read.
This is why it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.
As for books and paper, they are simple.
The Ming Dynasty already had printing and papermaking technology.
Books like this are just a matter of cost.
It's not impossible to spend tens of millions of taels of silver.
Where can I find this teacher? !
The reason why the Jiangnan civil service group can stick together.
It is because they have the most top-notch academy.
A series of academic cliques and political parties were formed based on this academy.
If Zhu Houzhao established schools throughout the country, he would not have enough teachers.
I'm afraid it's just a waste of money, and at most it's just a cultural promotion.
It is simply impossible to cultivate suitable talents.
It is even more impossible that many people can shine in the imperial examinations!
.....
Yang Heting expressed his thoughts.
Although he did not dissuade Zhu Houzhao.
But it was obvious in his words that he did not approve of Zhu Houzhao's order.
But Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed and said, "Why do you think I opened such a school?"
"Let's have another Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty? Or a few more Yang Heting?!"
"I don't want those with extraordinary talents, nor do I want those with extraordinary talents."
"All I want is enough people to govern a county!"
"Even if everyone just learns a few more words, it would be enough!"
What Zhu Houzhao wanted was very simple.
That means there are enough talents at the level of minor officials.
These people will serve as officials who will govern and administer the countries in the future!
With Zhu Houzhao's current background and strength.
Unifying the nine provinces is actually just a matter of time.
But how to govern after unifying the nine provinces is also a huge problem.
You can't just follow the example of Emperor Qin Shi Huang and accept the remnants of the six kingdoms as officials, right? !
This can certainly effectively solve the governance problem.
There is no shortage of officials like "The Water is Too Cold" in various countries.
But it’s still not good enough!
Only when the Ming Dynasty has enough officials can it govern the world stably.
Secondly, the popularization of this kind of culture will also be of great benefit to the future spread of military power throughout the world.
Now the old Taoist priest is simplifying the Divine Elephant Prison-Suppressing Power into a technique that can be practiced by the military.
But simplify it anyway.
Literacy must be the most important point.
This is why Zhu Houzhao spent tens of millions of taels of silver to popularize culture.
What's more, he became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, he intended to make the Ming Dynasty truly strong.
It’s not just the country.
What’s more, all the people in the Ming Dynasty must be like dragons!
......
Yang Heting also understood what His Majesty meant instantly.
His face flushed slightly: "Your Majesty is truly a wise ruler throughout the ages!"
When will a king be willing to spend so much money on the people!
From ancient times to the present, perhaps Zhu Houzhao is the only one who is willing to do this.
This is truly treating the common people of the world as human beings.
Li Dongyang was also filled with emotion.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the two people's reactions.
He chuckled.
This is totally irrelevant.
What he wants is definitely not as simple as everyone being literate.
But to truly create a supreme immortal dynasty.
But this goal is still too far away.
The most important thing at present is to strengthen the national strength of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "This time I want more than just to make everyone literate."
"It is also necessary to attract talents from various countries."
"Pass the order down and tell the world that I want to recruit talented people!"
"Anyone who is willing to come to the Ming Dynasty can become an official of the Ming Dynasty as long as he stays in the school for a full year!"
This is another use of establishing a school.
Yang Heting and Li Dongyang were excited by Zhu Houzhao's ambitions.
Are there no literati in various countries who care about the world?
If we could attract talents from all countries to gather in Ming Dynasty.
It will be easier to govern the world in the future.
This is also a plunder of various countries!
It's nothing but a talent grab!
Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.
Then there are kings who promote their own ideas.
Attract sages from various schools of thought to go to other countries.
It also has countless talents.
Zhu Houzhao also wanted to try and see if he could recruit some talents!
......
Yang Heting and Li Dongyang asked some details.
They went down to discuss with the important ministers of the cabinet how to implement this matter.
Zhu Houzhao set his sights on Han Shengxuan.
He said to Han Shengxuan: "I intend to establish a brand new government office."
"Jian Tiansi!"
"You will be the commander of the Heavenly Guardian from now on."
"He will be the supervisor of the West Factory temporarily, and will be handed over to Yu Huatian or Hong Sixiang in the future!"
As the Ming Dynasty court and the underworld gradually calmed down.
The role of the Western Factory is no longer that great.
There is no need for Han Shengxuan, the great master of astronomy, to be in charge here.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Monitoring Office needs to be established as soon as possible.
If Zhu Houzhao wanted to take action against other countries.
Except for some means such as cultural plunder.
The most important thing is to understand the intelligence of various countries.
The intelligence about the Qin Dynasty that Cao Zhengchun had previously reported was transmitted back by the Moon Goddess.
There is absolutely no information about the Shenhou Mansion and the Six Gates among the various countries.
This was also a drawback of the Ming Dynasty in the past.
After the god of war Zhu Qizhen destroyed the Ming Dynasty's strength in one battle.
The late emperor could only be cautious and seek safety, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Not to mention developing spies from various countries.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao decided to establish the Astronomical Observation Bureau to gather intelligence from various countries.
The West Factory had previously taken over the intelligence networks of the Six Gates, Shenhou Mansion, and Hulong Villa.
Add to that the intelligence network of Qingyi Tower in the underworld.
There are enough people to do these things.
Han Shengxuan also has enough means to do this well.
.....
"If so."
"Your Majesty, can you hand over Wei Zhuang, Tian Ze and others to me?"
That is to establish a celestial monitoring department.
Then the original staff of the Western Factory would not be enough.
The only way is to transfer some people from the Zhenwu Division.
Especially people like Wei Zhuang and Tian Ze who are originally from other countries.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly: "You can mobilize the people of Zhenwu Division as you like."
"I just want results!"
"besides!"
He suddenly looked at Cao Zhengchun on the side: "Hasn't Zhu Wusi sent any news yet?!"
