Chapter 1413
"Your Majesty, I, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Culture, Education and Health, have discussed the issue of increasing the investment in cultural and educational areas in the Tenggeri Grassland, Peninsula, Northern Luzon, Myanmar, Western Regions, Indian and German areas, including the Meli area, which has just been included in the control of the empire. I and several adults agree that increasing the investment in cultural and educational areas in ethnic minority areas is an urgent task, which is related to the long-term plan for the future development of the empire. At present, there are many ethnic groups in the empire, and there is no clear and long-term goal for the local cultural and educational undertakings. Our Tang civilization should be said to be a huge treasure house for all ethnic groups. It can also cover our Tang civilization into the entire empire controlled area when absorbing the essence of each ethnic group, so that all ethnic groups can enjoy the benefits of our Tang civilization."
"So, I and all the adults believe that a series of schools from primary to intermediate level should be built in the above-mentioned areas to increase the popularity of Tang language by various ethnic groups. At the same time, Imperial University and Northwestern University should expand the enrollment scale, especially the number of enrollment in border areas and ethnic areas should be greatly increased. This can cultivate some imperial officials for all ethnic groups, which plays a very important role in consolidating and strengthening the rule and management of the empire in these areas. In addition, I and all the adults also agree that the empire's current educational power is weak,
There are only two comprehensive universities and three military academies in an empire. I believe that in the future, the empire can build universities in county-level areas with developed and abundant economic and financial resources. For example, Jiangnan County, Donghai County, and counties with very important locations like Kansai, it should also establish a comprehensive university. This will not only cultivate professional talents in various aspects such as law, administration, economy, culture, education, finance and taxation for areas with backward education, but also gradually normalize all aspects of the empire's management, which will play an immeasurable role in promoting all undertakings of the empire."
Xiao Tang, the Prime Minister of the State Council, has been one of his most concerned points. He originally wanted to propose a relatively complete outline of education development when Wufeng went out to Jiangnan. However, given that this was a considerable expenditure and the imperial finance was not abundant at that time, he suppressed this idea. However, as the gold was transported back to the imperial treasury in the southern Indian and German areas, currency reform is about to be advanced, and the fiscal and taxation of Solian and Paizha may also be included in the imperial fiscal system in a short time. The imperial finance will gradually improve, and it is a suitable time to introduce this plan.
"Oh, Xiao Tang, I have already read the plan you handed over. This matter should be said to be very intentional, but such a huge plan requires huge capital. Jiangnan University, Tokai University, Kansai University, and dozens of junior and intermediate schools will be established on the border and ethnic areas. Is this plan too huge? Can the current imperial finance support such a large expenditure?"
In fact, Wufeng knew the significance of the plan proposed by Xiao Tang. As the empire area continued to expand at an extraordinary speed, the proportion of the local area of the empire in which the Tang tribe dominated the territory continued to decline, and the proportion of the population of the Tang tribe in the total population of the empire also continued to decline. If the population of the Western Regions, Tengger, Northern Luzon, Peninsula, Indian and Meli areas was calculated in the future, although the population base of the Tang tribe was large, it was roughly in the total population of the empire.
It only accounts for more than half of the number. Although this is caused by the powerful expansion of the empire, if ethnic diversity is not maintained by the centripetal force of the empire, it will lead to many troubles. Wufeng also clearly sees it. To enable these nations to form cohesion and centripetal force, the assimilation of culture and language is undoubtedly the most important. All of this must be achieved through the promotion of Tanghua education. Therefore, he did not intend to oppose the plan, but he hoped to have a clear and detailed long-term plan.
"Your Majesty, I think that no matter how difficult the empire's finances are, this plan must be promoted quickly, otherwise the empire will pay a greater price for it in the future! It will be a very long process to gradually integrate these ethnic minorities into our Tang civilization. It will take not a year or a few years, but more than a decade or even a hundred years. Now that the empire is invented, it is even more necessary to take a step forward in this regard. Only by building a good foundation can our next work be better promoted."
The one who left the list and followed the conversation was Kairidge, the Imperial Minister of Culture, Education and Health. Although he claimed that we were a Tang clan, he was a mixed-race child with white bloodline. However, after several generations, the characteristics of white people were almost no longer visible. In addition to this name, it can be seen that there may be some white bloodline. He was highly recommended by Wei Zhongxing, the former Minister of Culture, Education and Health of the Tanghe Empire. He was also the admirer of the three masters of the Li family. He was an extremely dedicated official and very trusted by Wufeng.
"Your Majesty, we are not going to fully roll out this plan at once. In areas like Tengger, Myanmar, and Peninsula, the civilizations of these ethnic groups are closely related to our Tang civilization, and the degree of ethnic integration is relatively high. We have also achieved a lot of achievements in the early work, but we have made appropriate investments. However, in areas like Indian, De'an and Meli, our Tang civilization has relatively small influence, which is a relatively weak link in the empire. Therefore, the top priority is to start pilot projects in these two places, steadily expand its influence, and not to be slackened at all. In addition, I also have some ideas, such as encouraging private education institutions to develop in these areas and promoting the promotion of Tang language and Tang culture and art. In these aspects, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Culture, Education and Health of the Empire can provide some policy and financial support and support." Minister of Rites Lao Min also joined the camp of suggestions.
"Well, Xiao Tang, it seems that you have done a thorough investigation on the feasibility of this plan. In principle, I agree with this plan, but it must be coordinated with the payment capacity of the imperial finance. What I mean is that Cui Wenxiu can now order the middle and senior colleges in the Meli area to add two courses: Tang language and Tang culture to promote the popularization of Tang civilization. The Indian and German regions can establish a series of Tang language schools from junior to intermediate levels in the four places of Western Indian and German, Southern Indian, Dean, and Solian respectively to select local excellent schools, respectively, to select local excellent schools in the four places of Western Indian and German, Dean, South Indian, Dean, and Solian.
Show talents to train at Imperial University and Northwestern University to further promote the use of Tang language. In addition, Pauline can come forward to select locals who teach Tang language to serve as officials within our ability in the Indian and German regions. This will gradually form a system. In the future, Tang language must be added to the official languages of the Meli and Indian regions, and gradually occupy a dominant position. In this regard, the State Council must come up with a detailed five-year or even ten-year plan. How much investment will be invested every year and what major projects will be, it must be clear."
After pondering for a while, Wufeng made a final decision: "The Empire Law Department can discuss legislation issues in this regard with the Empire Senate and the Civilian House. As Kairidge said, this is a long-term project, and it is unrealistic to do so overnight. Legislation must be used to ensure that this policy is implemented for a long time. Well, it is called the Imperial Culture and Education Promotion Act. The Empire's financial department must be included in the budget every year to guarantee it as a special appropriation expenditure."
A series of military and political affairs were quickly confirmed with Wufeng's decisive decision, which made the ministers feel that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have improved greatly after Jiangnan's party. During the period when the empire was just established, His Majesty the Emperor became a little impatient and seemed to have been in a bad mood. The doctor of the Imperial Hospital analyzed that this was His Majesty's emotional syndrome, which was caused by the dual reasons of excessive pressure and long-term fatigue. It seems that this trip to Jiangnan played a very good role in the release of His Majesty's emotions.
After the court meeting was dispersed, Wufeng specifically left behind Xiao Tang, Ling Tianfang, Su Qin and Bo Jinchen to discuss the consequences of the drought in the northern region and the feasibility of the government organizing landless and poor refugees to immigrate to the three prefectures of Myanmar County and the Pamirs of Northern Luzon and Kuiyang Prefectures. Finally, he decided to immigrate from Yanyun and Beiyuan to the two prefectures of Myanmar County and Northern Luzon. The immigration costs were solved by the imperial finance and local finances.
The five people also discussed the opinions of Cui Wenxiu's request for the Government to send personnel to form the local government in the Meli region as soon as possible. On this issue, there were huge differences between the military and political parties. The military believes that the situation in the Meli region is different from that in the Indian and German regions. The economy is developed, the situation is stable and the location is important. The Government Council should take over the management so that the army can free up enough energy to handle other affairs in the Central and Mainland regions. However, the Government Council expressed its opposition, believing that the Meli region has just entered the control of the empire and is too eager to establish administrative management agencies, which is likely to arouse the disgust of the local people, and it is not conducive to the future rule and management of the empire. It is recommended that military control be carried out temporarily, and the time is ripe and the establishment of administrative agencies will be completed together with the Indian and German regions. However, in terms of finance, the Ministry of Finance of the Government Council can send personnel to take charge of the administration first.
