The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this!
Dongling Kingdom is so despicable and shameless, they should be disgraced!
And let the other four countries take a closer look. If they bully Nalan Kingdom, they will only end up losing their wives and losing their troops!
"Is it not easy to come back this time?" the emperor asked.
Wen Nuan smiled: "It's okay, but there are too many demons and monsters on the sea, but they can't stop our soldiers of Nalan Kingdom. Almost all the demons and monsters were wiped out! The losses were heavy!"
Sailors are generally more difficult to train than soldiers.
"Haha... OK!" The emperor stood up excitedly and walked back and forth.
As long as he thinks of destroying the enemy's soldiers and leaving them unable to eat, he will be happy!
"I have to think carefully about how to welcome the team on this mission! They went through five levels and killed six generals on this mission. It was really hard!"
Nalan Jinnian heard this and said, "Brother, how do you plan to use these 50 million taels of gold?"
The emperor's eyelids twitched and his steps paused!
How to use fifty million taels of gold
What does the Seventeenth Emperor want to do again
Could it be that he wanted to get the 50 million taels of gold
This is not okay, absolutely not!
Nothing can be said!
The emperor began to complain, and he sat down with a look of helplessness on his face: "How else can I use it?! Fifty million taels is a lot to talk about, but it's not easy to spend it!"
"The water conservancy project recently submitted by the Ministry of Industry to treat floods in the outer city is very large. I estimate that it will take about ten years to build, with an annual investment of 30 million taels of silver. This is still a conservative estimate!
Then this winter comes, and the soldiers must also prepare cotton clothes, cotton trousers, and quilts. The frontier is bitterly cold, but we must not suffer the hardships of the soldiers who defend their homes and the country! In addition, what about the soldiers’ salaries? It’s the New Year, so why don’t you give some New Year gifts
There are also snow disasters everywhere now. In those poor days, there was no disaster relief from the court. How could we survive this icy and snowy winter? This disaster relief was another sum of money!
And after spring, people start farming again, so the water conservancy needs to be dredged now!
There are also roads in various local and state capitals that need to be repaired!
This bridge also needs to be built!
This weapon also needs to be refined in batches!
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also need to receive their salaries!
Also, this..."
The emperor counted the places where he wanted to spend money on his fingers.
The corner of Nalan Jinnian's mouth twitched: "Brother Emperor said this, others don't know that Nalan Kingdom has no local tax, and they all live on the 50 million taels of gold obtained from the trap! Brother Emperor, don't worry, I have plenty of money. , don’t worry about your fifty million taels!”
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, just don't worry about him!
It really scared him to death!
But the Seventeenth Emperor's brother has a lot of money
Then can I worry about his money
The emperor smiled charmingly and kindly: "Brother Seventeen, how do you think you can spend these 50 million taels of gold best?"
Well, if you don’t have enough money, you can ask the Seventeenth Emperor’s brother to subsidize it!
I listen to him!
Anyway, the Seventeenth Emperor's brother has plenty of money!
Nalan Jinnian glanced at him: "I think the emperor should use part of his money to build the academy."
College
"Our academy in Nalan Kingdom is enough!"
No matter how many colleges are built, it will be built in vain if the people don’t have money to go to school!
Nalan Jinnian: "It's not an ordinary college. The purpose of that college is not for students who take the imperial examination. It's a craft college. It specializes in teaching ordinary people to learn crafts."
Craft school
The emperor looked at Wen Nuan: "Princess Hui'an, this was your idea!"
Wen Nuan smiled: "Your Majesty is wise, and my daughter is building a technical academy in the outer city."
The emperor became interested after hearing this: "What is the Skills Academy? Tell me quickly."
Wen Nuan: "Actually, it is an academy for learning crafts. If a person has a craft, he will not be afraid of traveling all over the world! As long as he has a craft, he will never starve to death!"
The emperor nodded, this is a truth that applies to all corners of the world.
Nuan Nuan: "Every craftsman in our Nalan Kingdom is either passed down from father to son, or from master to apprentice. In this way, a certain skill can easily be lost!"
"But this is human nature. Craftsmanship is the capital that a person relies on for survival. No one is willing to teach irrelevant people casually." The emperor said.
Nuan Nuan nodded: "Yes, this is indeed human nature, but for a country, this is not a good phenomenon. So I thought of building a skills academy to give ordinary people a place to learn a craft. After all, charitable acts such as giving food and clothing can only help temporarily. They can save the urgent but not the poor.
A person cannot wait for the court to help him all his life! If things go on like this, the imperial court will not be able to afford it!
Therefore, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Only in this way can we fundamentally solve the problem of people's poverty.
Therefore, the minister suggested that the emperor should use part of the fifty million taels of gold to build a technical college in a county in each state capital to teach poor people to learn skills.
In those poor families, as long as one person learns a craft and starts making a living, the family's basic food and clothing problem is solved. Besides, this can also discover some potential talents from ordinary people, and then use them for the imperial court. And as the people make a living, the court's taxes will also increase... This is a very good return. "
The emperor thought for a while: "Princess Hui'an's idea is a good one, but after the construction of this college, should we do Shuxiu? If we do Shuxiu, how will the poor people get the money to pay Shuxiu?"
If it is not collected, then the imperial court will need a lot of money every year to maintain the operation of a college! In addition to the money for hiring the teacher and the money for maintaining the college's facilities, students must also be provided with the materials they need for their studies! These things are probably worth a lot of money! "
Everything is money!
Wen Nuan: "Of course the academy is for self-cultivation, but it can be a little cheaper than a regular academy. For some ordinary students, they can go to school by borrowing some money from their families and scraping together some money.
For some very poor students, the college can provide some bursaries. And as long as students do well in their studies, there will be scholarships.
In addition, you can also cooperate with banks to provide interest-free student loans for one or two years, specifically for poor people.
After completing their studies, they need to pay off the interest money for student aid within one year, otherwise it will be calculated as interest money from the bank.
My daughter feels that some motivated people who want to change their destiny will want to go to the academy to learn a trade even if they borrow money!
The practice of binding is to prevent those lazy people from sneaking into the academy and eating and drinking every day! I can sort out the specific regulations and write a memorial to the emperor at that time. "
