The Minister of Household Affairs looked at the Emperor sadly: "Your Majesty!"
As soon as the emperor's words came out, the people below were all excited, talking about the technical academy, scholarships, and bursaries!
The words were a bit new and they weren't sure what they meant.
It was so noisy that the emperor didn't even hear the Minister of Revenue calling him.
The emperor glanced at the Imperial Academy priest next to him and motioned for him to explain to everyone the purpose of the Skills Academy.
The emperor asked him to enter the palace last night to discuss the matter of the skills academy.
The imperial minister took out a memorial and began to introduce it to everyone: "Fellow folks, please be patient. I will explain to you now. This skills academy established by the emperor is specifically for the common people to learn crafts and survival skills. Academy! Anyone who is willing to learn a craft, common people in Nalan Kingdom between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, can go to the academy to study. The skills for people to learn in the academy include: pottery, flower art, gardening, embroidery, and clothing , various handicrafts, medical skills, planting, breeding, cooking skills... etc."
"There are also detailed classifications under some categories, such as cooking, there are people who make various dishes, pastries, snacks, tofu, soy sauce... Planting , there are those who grow fruit trees, those who grow mushrooms, those who grow flowers, those who raise fish, crabs, chickens, geese and ducks... and the like!
"Studying at this technical college is cheaper than studying at a regular college, and the court also provides grants and scholarships. That is to say, no matter whether you have money or not, as long as you have determination, perseverance, and want to learn? Learn to change your current situation of poverty. Anyone can go to the college to study! Because the imperial court sends someone to check your family situation and determines that you are a person with family difficulties, you can go to the bank to apply for a scholarship? Does this scholarship need to be repaid? It will be returned after one year of study! Of course, if you are a student who works hard enough and your grades are among the best during your studies, for example, if you get the top spot, you will have the opportunity to be exempted from studying, and you can also get a scholarship. If you get the top ten, you can get a scholarship. Scholarship? The number of scholarships, the higher the ranking, the more scholarships you will get!"
The common people were not very interested in how to use the money. The court's money was generally not distributed to everyone.
Except when there is a natural disaster, the court will provide disaster relief.
But the common people think that the court's money is used to pay salaries to officials!
Therefore, all the officials in the imperial court were rich and powerful.
Of course, it is also used in other places, such as building roads, building bridges, etc.
At this moment, listening to the Imperial Academy's words of offering wine, I felt that the fifty million taels of silver seemed to have something to do with me!
As long as they study in college, they can get scholarships? grants
Those who are eager to change the status quo? Their minds are full of excitement!
Some people couldn't wait to ask: "Sir? When will this academy be built? Can people who don't know a word of it also go in and learn crafts?"
"Sir, how much is the annual tuition? Is there really that scholarship? Can we borrow money from the bank to study and pay it back after one year of study?"
"Sir? How much are the scholarships? How much are the bursaries? Where can I apply?"
"Sir, when the time comes to build a college there! When will it be built? When will I sign up?"
"grown ups... .."
... .
Many people asked loudly.
The Imperial Academy priest raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
When everyone calmed down, he continued: "The construction of the Skills Academy will take about a year. Enrollment is expected to begin next fall! Classes will begin in the spring of the following year! Regarding Shuxiu, the specific regulations will be announced on the imperial list. Yes, and when the college recruits students, it will be announced! Everyone can learn more about it then!"
The people below are still restless and want to know more: "Where will the college be built? What if we don't know that the college is built?"
"Yeah, I don't know. What should I do if I miss the registration?"
... ..
The Imperial Academy’s sacrificial wine continued to comfort him:
"Don't worry, everyone! This college will be built in every major state capital across the country! The specific location has not been selected yet. The court will announce it when the time comes. The yamen in various places and the village chiefs of each village will notify everyone. ! Because this skills academy is because the emperor is sympathetic to the sufferings of the people and knows that ordinary poor people have a hard time making a living, so he specially gives everyone a way to make a fortune! Let everyone have skills at hand, and the days to come will be prosperous and better!"
After hearing this, many people knelt down again and shouted:
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the best Emperor in the world! Long live, long live, long live your Emperor!"
"Your Majesty's grace is mighty, long live, long live, long live!"
... ... .
The emperor raised his hand: "Everyone is exempt from the gift! In fact, you have thanked the wrong person! What you should be more grateful to is Princess Hui'an! This skills academy was proposed by Princess Hui'an. Princess Hui'an and King Jin are already building one in the outer city. There is a similar technical academy! And it will be built soon. Enrollment will be available tomorrow in the spring. Everyone can apply then! Of course, the number of places is limited!"
As soon as the emperor said these words, the third prince glanced at him.
My father is blatantly trying to win over the people for the seventeenth uncle!
Did he really intend to pass the throne to the seventeenth uncle according to the late emperor's will, without considering their biological sons at all
The hearts of all the civil and military officials throughout the dynasty also came alive.
What is the emperor's intention in doing this? Are you praising King Jin for killing him
This seems a bit impossible!
After all, the emperor's favor and trust in King Jin were seen by all the civil and military officials in the court.
If you are not trying to flatter him, are you trying to win over the people for King Jin? Is this because you intend to pass the throne to King Jin? !
Some officials were shocked when they thought of this!
But since ancient times, the throne has been passed down from father to son!
This is not in line with the ancestral rules, and the country will be in chaos!
Now all countries are watching with eager eyes. If there is civil strife in the court, the prince or prince will seize the throne.
Doesn’t this give others an opportunity to take advantage of it
The court will be in turmoil!
Some old-fashioned officials couldn't help but become worried.
They decided to submit a memorial tomorrow to remind the emperor in a subtle way that the royal family's orthodoxy must not be disrupted!
Among the people, family property is passed down from father to son, and it is passed on to the eldest son and the legitimate son!
The throne is related to the fate of a country, so there is no need to mess with it!
King Jin is just a prince. No matter how capable he is, just give him the authority to serve the court!
The throne
The name is not right and the words are not right!
Having set this precedent, will all princes and princes' sons be able to compete for the throne of Nalan Kingdom in the future
Isn't this a mess
The emperor doesn't care what everyone thinks!
He looked at the people below, full of expectations for the future.
In a year or two, he can abdicate and become an emperor!
When the time comes, he will go to Duke Anguo's Mansion for dinner every day, and he can go wherever he wants. He doesn't have to go to court early, he doesn't have to approve memorials, he doesn't have to worry about not having enough money in the treasury, and he doesn't have to...
