I became a mysterious person in textbooks after being pushed by the emperors

Chapter 30 Xia Yuanji: Your Majesty, will you pay? ?

And if primary and secondary school textbooks are sacred books, even a perfect modern education system would have unimaginable significance to ancient times.

The development of Western civilization was first established in the education system.

To be more precise, the foundation of Western civilization lies in its university system.

From the European Reformation in the [-]th century, Protestant countries used education as an important means to win over young people, promote new sects, and resist the forces of old religions. They forced children to go to school to learn to read, write, and go to school, and began to lay the foundation.

However, the plunder around the world in the Age of Discovery caused a large amount of wealth to pour into Europe, and Europe used this large amount of wealth to construct their own unique system.

This can be seen from Germany.

Germany was almost crippled during World War I. However, after a century of compulsory education, Germany had the capital to sweep the world in just a few decades. Even though it was crippled again in World War II, it was still in the new era. Times rise.

The education system that Jiang Chen gave to Zhu Di and Zhao Bing not only introduced the modern education system, but also had the function of the modern education system.

For Zhu Di, Lu Xiufu, and Zhang Shijie, maybe they can't see what this modern education represents, but they can see the incomparably powerful countries under the modern education described in the article.

Great Britain, Germany, island countries, and even China.

Even the few descriptions between the lines make people feel their scalp tingling.

It even made their hearts surge.

At this moment, whether it is Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Xiufu of the Song Dynasty, or Zhang Shijie, they all desperately hope that the country will become stronger.

Needless to say the former, as Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di's pursuit has always been only the highest, not higher, while the latter, when the country was destroyed by Meng Yuan, also urgently wanted to restore the Song Dynasty and China.

In this way, the content described in this article is undoubtedly extremely attractive to them.

No, not just attractive.

But my heart is pounding.

And it was even more exciting than before.

Because the modern education system almost tells them a path that can make the country rich and strong.

It's much more straightforward than everything before.

The only problem is that the cost is almost terrifying.

"compulsory education!"

"Come here, give me Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Xuanhu Department, and Prince Zhu Gaochi!"

Daming, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Zhu Di slowly put down the manuscript in his hand, his eyes could not help flickering, and then he spoke quickly.

"promise!"

A eunuch responded quickly.

Soon, Xia Yuanji and Prince Zhu Gaochi arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

Xia Yuanji and Zhu Gaochi saluted quickly.

"Don't be too polite!"

"I have learned a method today that will build up the foundation of my Ming Dynasty for all generations. Xia Yuanji, Prince, take a look!"

Zhu Di waved.

Soon there was an eunuch who handed the things in Zhu Di's hands to the prince.

After hearing Zhu Di's words, the prince was a little shocked, and Xia Yuanji's heart moved, and his eyes couldn't help but look at what the prince took, feeling a little excited.

But Zhu Gaochi took the book with some doubts and began to read it.

And seeing this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help being fascinated.

It wasn't until a moment later that Zhu Gaochi suddenly lifted up, and looked at his father with a shocked expression.

"Father, what is this?"

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth. At this moment, he couldn't calm down at all, and his mood fluctuated violently.

What he saw made him feel like his breathing was stagnant.

"His Royal Highness, can you give me a look!"

Xia Yuanji, who was waiting eagerly, couldn't help but speak.

"Master Xia, give it!"

Only then did Zhu Gaochi react and quickly handed the book to Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji also quickly started to read.

Zhu Di on the dragon chair did not answer, but waited for Xia Yuanji to finish reading.

A quarter of an hour later, Xia Yuanji finished reading the book completely, and his heart couldn't help but violent ups and downs. At this moment, his scalp was also numb.

Looking at Zhu Di, he and the prince looked over,

Xia Yuanji took a deep breath before speaking slowly.

"Your Majesty, this method can indeed benefit our Ming Dynasty for generations to come, but the cost of this method may be hundreds of millions, and the cost will be even more in the future. Our Ming Dynasty is suffering from air disaster."

As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and having been eroded by the theory of money, Xia Yuanji naturally quickly discovered a big problem in modern education.

It costs too much.

That's right, it costs too much.

Compulsory education, allowing all children to study, seems very good, almost as good as the Datong society. However, the problem is that the country may not be able to support it.

How many people are there in Daming, and the household registration exceeds 200 million households? In fact, the population may have reached tens of millions. In this way, how many children need to be educated, millions, or even tens of millions, and how much money will it cost? .

And as the population grows, the amount required will become even larger.

Even if Daming's finances have started to skyrocket at this moment, it may not be able to support it.

"Father, Master Xia's words are very true. My son thinks that it is enough to open schools in various places and spread education widely. Why do you need to do this?"

Hearing Xia Yuanji's words, Prince Zhu Gaochi also hurriedly spoke.

Such a cost is so horrific that even thinking about it makes people tremble.

Prince Zhu Gaochi was almost worried about money in the past few years, but now he has to give out so much at once, he instinctively feels resistance.

"It doesn't matter. This expenditure can be made out of the private treasury, not the national treasury!"

Zhu Di, however, waved his hand and said something that made Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji frown.

Especially Xia Yuanji.

During this period of time, hundreds of millions of taels were taken out from the emperor's private treasury. However, at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor actually said that they could still come out of his private treasury. Xia Yuanji felt that his heart had stopped.

The prince also felt confused.

As the prince, he didn't know what his private treasury was like, so how could he possibly get it out?

"Father, I'm afraid it's hard to bear the expense of private treasury!"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but speak.

"You don't need to worry about this!"

“My royal family’s private treasury now is incomparable to what it was back then!”

"Natsuhara Yoshi!"

Zhu Di waved his hand and then looked at Xia Yuanji.

"Chen is here!"

Xia Yuanji quickly saluted.

"I need this education not to start with Confucianism, but to civilize the people. Please formulate a strategy for me in the next few days!"

Zhu Di patted the textbook on the desk and spoke to Xia Yuanji.

"Not Confucian?"

Xia Yuanji, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and their eyes couldn't help but look at the tall books in front of Zhu Di, their expressions were a little confused.
