I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 398
The Qin Empire began a vigorous disarmament plan.

Abolish 30 troops.

This is not a small number, it can be called huge.

Under such circumstances, the current disarmament work is actually very difficult to carry out, because who should be disarmed, who should not be disarmed, and which army should be disbanded are all problems.

Moreover, how to arrange the disbanded armies, etc., is like a thousand threads, and the Great Qin Empire needs to figure out a way to deal with it.

At the same time, above the court.

Ying Zheng also announced a decision to his ministers.

I saw, on the dragon chair, Brother Zheng looked at the ministers sitting in the hall, and then, he opened his mouth to these ministers.

"Now, in addition to disarmament, I also plan to implement education in my Great Qin!"

"In my Great Qin's world, schools are built everywhere and everywhere, and then teach the children in the school to learn reading, literacy, laws and articles, arithmetic, etc., so that in the future, one day, they will serve my Great Qin! "

"In this way, everyone in the world will be a scholar. What do you think, dear friends?"

"This one……"

The moment Brother Zheng's voice fell.

For a moment, in the court hall and in the main hall, countless people stared wide-eyed, looking at Brother Zheng who made this suggestion in disbelief.

I just feel shocked and inexplicable.

the reason is simple.

Brother Zheng's proposal is really shocking.

Because Brother Zheng actually wants to popularize education, and this has never happened before in history.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, scholars were all nobles, nobles at the Qing level, the ruling class, and ordinary people, who had no right to education at all, although now with the passage of time, there have been some He is a commoner scholar, but this does not mean that people agree that commoners can read and write.

At this time, for many people in the court.

In their eyes, the common people are lowly humanoid animals. The purpose of their existence is to be exploited and oppressed by them. Clothes.

That's what these people think.

And these ideas are not just theirs, the vast majority of scholars in the world, and all schools of thought except the Mohist school, are like this!
In this situation.

At this time, Brother Zheng's proposal, naturally, stunned the officials for a while.

Immediately, someone stood up from the court hall and said to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, this strategy is not bad, not bad, but especially inappropriate!"

"Since ancient times, the Guizhou heads of the world have been farming in the fields. If they all learn to read and write, if they all become scholars, what kind of world will the world be like? In the future, what will they do? Yes, how about working in the fields with peace of mind?"

"So, I think this policy is particularly inappropriate!"

"Your Majesty, I think so too!"

For a while, many people in the hall stood up.

Looking at these people, Ying Zheng frowned a little, he really didn't understand.

This matter is clearly a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

Why, why in the court, when he promulgated this decree, so many ministers opposed it?
Besides, Mao Jiao, aren’t you a Confucian?
Isn't Confucianism very particular about teaching without discrimination?

Why, how did you say that at this moment?

Just as Brother Zheng was frowning, Mao Jiao continued.

"Your Majesty, what's more, what's the use of this universal education?"

"It's nothing more than a waste of money and food!"

"In my Great Qin Dynasty, there are already enough literate people in the world who can be used by the imperial court to govern the world and govern the subjects. Under such circumstances, why do you need to let the common people be literate?"

"Let them stay in the fields honestly and farm for my Great Qin. Fighting is what they should do!"

Hearing this, Brother Zheng's face was slightly displeased, and he opened his mouth to speak.

"I have already made up my mind on this matter, dear friends, don't try to persuade me anymore, just implement it!"

"This……"

For a moment, the officials in the hall looked at each other in blank dismay.

Many people looked gloomy and unusual.

Well, there is a reason why they are.

Because, in this era, these people who occupy high positions are not because they are smarter than those ordinary people who account for more than half of the world's population.

It's not because they have gods to help them.

Not because of their noble blood.

It's not because they themselves are superior and better than ordinary people.

In the final analysis, it was because of one thing.

Because they have knowledge.

In this era of universal education level is not high.

For people like them who have mastered knowledge, it is simply the best.

The overall number of them is not large, which leads them to easily enter the official career, advance to the court, become the so-called "meat eaters", become local tyrants, scholars, In this way, occupy a dominant position.

And no matter how bad they do.

Then Brother Zheng can't leave them.

Because there are only a handful of scholars in the world who can govern the country.

So, no matter how excessive they are, Brother Zheng can't do anything to get them.

In the end, it is still necessary to hand over the power to them, to these guys who are very likely to be corrupt, to be officials and to govern the world.

And this is the only core competitiveness of these scholars.

They are not great.

The reason is to be able to advance to the top of the court.

In fact, the number of scholars in this era is too small.

So, we had to rely on them.

And this is similar to the time of the Republic of China, when masters were everywhere.

Actually?

Are these masters useless?

It's just that there are too many educated people, so they dare to flatter each other!

As for these, the officials above the court at this time are actually clear.

They clearly know that their only competitiveness compared with ordinary people is the knowledge they possess.

However, now once what Ying Zheng just said, the popularization of education, spread throughout Daqin.

At that time, all school-age children in the Great Qin Dynasty will be enrolled in school.

Even for these students, it will be ten or twenty years after they complete their studies.

However, even if they don't think about themselves now, they still have to think about their children and grandchildren in the future, ten or twenty years from now.

Thinking of this, these officials naturally stood up one after another.

Then, he began to oppose Brother Zheng and the universal education proposed by Brother Zheng.

At this moment, he looked at Brother Zheng with that resolute expression.

The ministers did not dare to neglect in the slightest.

It's just that, secretly, they were thinking in their hearts how to resist Brother Zheng's decision...
