Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"Your Majesty, it is no problem to allocate funds to various counties and counties to set up academies."

The Minister of the Household Department hurriedly said: "Cultivating talents is a major matter of the court, and the ministers and others will naturally support them!"

As he spoke, the Minister of the Household Department said with a serious face: "It is not a problem to give some poor students who are both good in character and learning and living allowances.

But this standard needs to be discussed carefully. "

Hubu Shangshu also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is natural for the rural school to improve the conditions of the school.

But it would be too much to provide students with free books and school supplies. "

While talking, Hubu Shangshu glanced at Hubu Shilang.

The servant of the household department hurriedly calculated the details: "Your Majesty, these books and school supplies are not cheap.

Books are made of bamboo slips and wooden trellis, which have to be steamed and carefully bound with leather.

The brushes and ink used by students for writing are not cheap..."

"The annual salt income of the imperial court is as high as 36 yuan."

Before the words were finished, the Minister of Rites said bluntly: "How much does it cost to buy some pen and ink school supplies for a student?"

"My lord, you are really not in charge of the family and don't know how expensive daily necessities are!"

The Minister of the Household Department hurriedly said: "The imperial court has a lot of income through the government-run salt farm, and there are more places to spend it!"

"Yes, my lord." The servant of the household department said immediately, "I will roughly calculate that the cost of a student is about [-] yuan a year!"

"Fifty Wen, that's not much money!" the Minister of Rites said hurriedly.

"Looking at just one student, although these fifty coins are not small, they are not expensive either."

The servant of the household department hurriedly said seriously: "But the Daqin Township School has already been built in every county.

The total number of students in rural schools exceeds 200 million!A student spends 50 cash a year, and a student with 200 million RMB spends [-] million RMB a year!A whole hundred thousand coins! "

Upon hearing this, the ministers present couldn't help but be shocked.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites even tightened his face.

It never occurred to him.That's all it takes to provide books and school supplies to every township student!
Although one hearted pursuit of knowledge.But to be able to serve as an important court official like the Minister of the Household Department, he also knows that such a large sum of money is not a small burden for the court's finances.

The atmosphere in the hall could not help but fall silent.

Ying Zigao said confidently, "I think it won't cost that much to provide students with books and stationery!"

Hearing this, the officials of the household department couldn't help being shocked!
The Minister of the Household Department looked at Ying Zigao with a look of surprise, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the prices of books and stationery mentioned by the minister are all the lowest prices in the world in Xianyang and Guanzhong!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, books and stationery are not cheap!"

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said: "Everything I said is true!"

Ying Zigao looked at the anxious look of the officials from the household department, and couldn't help but smiled slightly: "You ladies, don't worry. I don't doubt your intentions!"

Hearing this, the household officials were relieved.

But still a little worried.Hubu Shangshu hurriedly asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

"I feel that it has been nearly a thousand years since bamboo slips and wooden trusses have been used as writing materials."

Ying Zigao said seriously, "It's time for a change!"

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, you mean to improve the writing materials?"

"I do have this plan!" Ying Zigao said hurriedly, "And it will start soon. Once the trial production of new writing materials is successful, the cost of books will be greatly reduced, and the cost of stationery will also be reduced accordingly!"

While talking, Ying Zigao said confidently: "When the time comes, we won't have to spend so much money to provide books and stationery to the students of rural schools all over the country, and the pressure on finances will also be greatly relieved!"

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but couldn't believe it.

The Minister of Rites was even more disbelieving.He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it has been nearly a thousand years to write articles with bamboo slips and wooden trestles. The sages and gentlemen of all dynasties have been using bamboo slips and wooden trestles to write articles, record history, and express their feelings. No one has ever said that this bamboo slips and wooden trestle It's not good!"

While talking, the Minister of Rites said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I don't believe that there are things in this world that are more suitable for writing than bamboo slips and wooden trellis!"

"Things in this world are never static!"

Ying Zigao said with a serious face: "The sages and gentlemen of the past dynasties used bamboo slips to write articles. No one said it was bad. It's not because the bamboo slips are really impeccable, but because there are no materials to replace them!"

"Before next spring, I will invent new writing materials!"

While talking, Ying Zigao was too lazy to argue with the Minister of Rites, and said confidently: "At that time, Aiqing will believe it when she sees it with her own eyes!"

Seeing Ying Zigao's confident expression, the ministers, except Yuhuatian and Liu Bowen, still couldn't believe it.

The Minister of Rites was even more dissatisfied, but he dared not say anything more because of the majesty of the emperor.

Seeing the dissatisfied faces of the ministers, Ying Zigao couldn't help feeling very unhappy.

I can't wait to invent paper, pine ink, inkstone, brush for writing, these four treasures of the study.

Invent the engraving and printing technique, and use thousands of printed cheap paper books to slap these ministers in the face!

After retiring from the court, Ying Zigao hurried back to the imperial study room, and carefully recorded the papermaking technology of the Song Dynasty rewarded by the system.

Immediately afterwards, the papermaking process was drawn on the silk cloth in the style of a comic book with both pictures and texts!
Immediately, he ordered the accompanying eunuch: "Let the Ouchi select skilled craftsmen to manufacture these tools as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he handed the silk cloth with the graphics of paper-making tools to the accompanying eunuch.

The accompanying eunuch hurriedly agreed and left in a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, Ying Zigao ordered the eunuchs.Collected a large number of mulberry trees, mulberry tree bark, broken linen, and rotten ropes.

Soak it in the pool in the palace, and send the maids to watch it carefully, and let them stir it up and down with sticks.

Immediately, the craftsmen who made the bamboo slips and wooden trellis were called together.

"Little ones pay homage to Your Majesty!" Knowing that the emperor personally summoned him to the imperial study, the craftsmen became nervous one by one.

They all knew that the emperor attached great importance to craftsmen, and he would not hesitate to reward craftsmen with superb skills and achievements, and bestowed military titles on them.

But they also know that their own skills are not valued by the emperor.

It is even heard that the emperor intends to create new writing materials to replace bamboo slips and mudu.
