Chapter 95: The Centennial Plan
"The king of the country is wise." Wenren Weiyang admired the king more and more. Although he made this suggestion, the king of the country was able to understand it immediately and learn from it and improve his suggestions. He was simply his confidant.
"The king of the country is wise." The ministers shouted.
After several discussions, the court meeting system of the Han Dynasty was finally finalized, as follows:
In terms of time, the 15th of each month is the Grand Court meeting. The meeting will be held at 9:00 in the morning and must end before 6:00 in the evening;
In terms of content, the agenda of the court meeting needs to be sent three days in advance (emergency matters can be inserted by the king) to the ministers attending the meeting. Everyone should prepare in advance and improve efficiency;
In the case of officials involved, all officials from fourth rank or above must participate (events must be submitted to the cabinet or the military department for approval);
In terms of service level, military and political affairs at level 4 and above;
For meals, lunch and dinner are served by the court.
In terms of results, the results of the Dagong meeting (except for policies that require confidentiality) need to be announced in the Dahan Daily the next day.
The Dahan Daily was proposed by Xu Boju when he was discussing it just now, which was the official newspaper on the earth. This helps the people to understand national policies more clearly, not be deceived by the officials below, and can also understand the changes in the country more in real time, increase the people's knowledge, vision, etc.
The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and everyone agreed. In Zhang Tianchen's words, this great Han newspaper is simply a wonderful and magical work.
The second issue ends here. The current dynasty system can not only improve the administrative efficiency of the Han Dynasty, but also make Xu Boju lazy and have enough time to practice. He does not want to be so tired and go to court before dawn like the ancient emperors on Earth.
When you get to the court, you're just a waste of time.
"Okay, the last topic below is the rest system. I may be different from other kings. I always believe that doing things requires methods and efficiency, and you also need time to practice. After all, this world of disputes is ultimately a person who speaks with strength."
"So I plan to implement a seven-day break and three-day system, so that there are nine days a month to practice with you or reunite with your family, or even go out for a trip. This is life. After relaxing, I believe that everyone's work efficiency will be higher." This is the decision that Xu Boju thought about for several days.
There is a system of five holidays on earth, but here he found that there seems to be no holiday system in the nations, and it is not without it. There are only a few major festivals a year, which is not usually available.
This is a fantasy world. Xu Boju believes that everyone needs more time to practice, otherwise they will fall behind. The physical fitness of people in this world is much stronger than that of the earth, so they have enough energy to work for seven consecutive days.
Nonsense, I had been working continuously before, but now I can’t do it for seven days.
The elderly frowned slightly when they heard this. This was something they had never thought of, but some young officials had their eyes shiny. The king was so polite to the people. This resting system was simply good, so it was no better.
"The king, I have time to practice at night, and I don't need to rest for that long, and I've all gone to rest. What should the country do? If something happens, everyone is not in their own position, so who will deal with it?" Mr. Qin first stood up and opposed.
When everyone heard this, many people were discouraged because what Mr. Qin said made sense and they could not refute it.
"The problem mentioned by Shangshu Qin exists, but I should not avoid it, but should find a solution to this problem." Wenren Weiyang stepped out and retorted.
"Then I wonder what the solution is for Wenren Shangshu?" Mr. Qin asked back.
"It's not difficult. You can take turns to rest. During ten days, seven days off for three days. Each department can completely rest their subordinates separately. For example, a group of people has a rest for three days, a group of people has a rest for three days, and a group of people has a rest for the last three days. The premise is that it does not affect the operation of the country. It can be handled in time when encountering urgent matters. Even very urgent matters can be recalled at any time. Isn't this good?" Wenren Weiyang's answer made many officials nod, and Xu Boju agreed.
"Okay, I think this supplement from Wenren Shangshu is OK, that's it."
Xu Boju made a decision and everyone had nothing to object to. In general, this matter was beneficial to everyone.
Immediately, Xu Boju announced:
"The Han Dynasty's rest system is seven or three, and each department makes a good arrangement for officials to take turns to ensure that it will not affect the operation of the country."
"Also, this system is worth promoting nationwide. There are many differences between our Han Kingdom and other countries. For example, ordinary people in various countries rarely have the opportunity to learn martial arts, but our Han Kingdom implements the national martial arts system, and the basic martial arts level martial arts are free to learn."
"If we promote the seven-day three-day system, the people of our Han Kingdom will have nine extra days of cultivation every month. In the short term, they will lose some of their benefits, but in the long term, this will be very beneficial to enhancing the overall national strength of the Han Kingdom."
"After three days off, some masters can go to all parts of the country to conduct martial arts preaching, review the old and learn the new. The best way to learn is to teach others. This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone for preachers and the people of the Han Dynasty. In the future, these can even be included in the performance assessment of the Ministry of Personnel."
"The king of the country is wise."
I believe the people should be confused first and then happy when they know this system. After all, this is paid leave, and there will be many masters preaching and more time to practice.
"Okay, today's three topics end here. Here are two hundred-year plans that concern our Han Kingdom's future." As soon as Xu Boju finished speaking, the ministers concentrated.
It was Xu Boju who said the nature of this question too much, and they were also very curious about the century-old plan.
"One is education, the other is infrastructure."
Education, everyone can barely understand a little, but this was the privilege of aristocratic families before, but everyone was confused about what infrastructure was, including Zhang Tianchen, who was extremely wise and Wenren Weiyang, who was very arrogant. Both of them also frowned slightly and listened very seriously.
"Education, I plan to establish a primary school in each guarantee, a primary school in each commune or city, a middle school in every five communes, and an Imperial school in Chang'an City."
(ps: Now the Han Dynasty is too young, and there will be high school, universities and other high schools in the future.)
Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Xu Boju explained in detail:
"Elementary school mainly teaches children aged five to eight, teaches them how to read and read, how to be a human being, the history of the Han Dynasty, and the education of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. We must cultivate children's patriotic spirit from an early age, so that they can know the two concepts of the country and the lord. Only with the lord can there be a country, and only with the country can there be a family. In addition, they also need to teach them common sense of martial arts and basic knowledge of martial arts, so that they will not be able to practice after getting the skills."
"Elementary school mainly teaches children aged eight to twelve, teaches them the spirit of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and teaches deeper theoretical knowledge and martial arts practice. Martial arts practice is already very important at this stage."
"The middle school mainly teaches teenagers aged thirteen to sixteen. At this time, we need a branch of men and women. In addition to the necessary idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, we also need to teach the principles of dealing with people, means of making a living as an adult, more advanced theoretical knowledge and more advanced martial arts skills."
Before middle school, men and women had the right to receive education, but women in the Imperial Academy seemed weak because they were not qualified to take the exam. Although it was unfair, Xu Boju had privately asked Mr. Qin, Zhang Tianchen, and even Li Qingman, who wanted to become a female general, they all disagree with women participating in the Imperial Academy exam.
Xu Boju didn't force himself, so he followed the trend.
"The Imperial College is divided into the Arts Academy and the Martial College. After graduation, you can be exempted from the imperial examination and go directly to politics. After graduation, you can be exempted from the imperial examination and go directly to the military. Not everyone can go to the Imperial College. You must take the annual Imperial College entrance examination. The number of candidates recruited will be set in advance, and then you will be given the best and concentrate resources to vigorously cultivate these Imperial College students."
"Basics, primary schools and middle schools are funded by the state, free of charge for all people, and children of appropriate age must receive education, otherwise their parents must be punished and educated. I believe that once these children who have received good education since childhood will grow up, they will be the backbone of the future of our Han Dynasty."
"After middle school, you can take the Imperial College exam. If you pass the exam, you can continue to study for free. If you fail to graduate, you can make a living by yourself. I think students who can graduate from middle school should have no low knowledge and cultivation, and just happen to join the construction army of the Han Dynasty."
Xu Boju made some modifications to the earth's set and told them in a slight manner according to local conditions, and the ministers below were already stunned.
I don’t know who led the lead: “The king of the country has great merits, wise and powerful, and the blessings of the people.”
"The king of the country has great merits, wise and powerful, and the blessings of the people." Then the ministers said in unison.
Such a seemingly simple education system and system have opened another door for them. It turns out that this can be done. You must know that the education in this world is monopolized by aristocratic families, and countries want to fool the people, because the more this is, the easier it is to manage it.
"In the future, education is included in the management of the Ministry of Rites. Will Zeng Shangshu be confident of doing this cause well?" Xu Boju asked.
Zeng Ping'an came out and said excitedly: "I will live up to the expectations of the king. For the education of the Han Kingdom, for the future of the Han Kingdom, and for the people, I will devote myself to my dedication to the death."
This flattery and the slogans are really like that. I hope these words are not empty words and can be put into practice, Xu Boju thought secretly.
Many others were very jealous of him. Obviously, such universal education is definitely the first time in this world. Whether it is successful or not, Zeng Ping'an is destined to be a person who is famous for historic history. If he can achieve great success, if the Han Kingdom becomes stronger and stronger in the future, the more invisible benefits he will get.
"I hope you can do what you say. If you have any uncertainty or don't understand, you can go to the palace to ask me at any time. Don't take it for granted." Xu Boju reminded.
Education is very important, especially in the initial stage. If there is a deviation, it will be difficult to break back in the future. After all, the power of habits and inertia is very terrifying.
"Yes, the king."
"The following is the last item of today's grand dynasty meeting, infrastructure. You may be a little confused, so I will definitely understand it if I briefly say it." Xu Boju saw everyone's surprise.
"Infrastructure is simply infrastructure construction. I plan to carry out infrastructure construction across the country, to build more, bigger and better cities, roads, new and better water conservancy projects, and more powerful military fortresses."
Most ministers have already understood that it is just a waste of money. Although it is indeed a century-long plan to do it well, it will have to endure hardships for the current people, which is not good for the new country.
However, they have misunderstood, but they cannot blame them, because in this world, building a lot is a waste of money.
"Do you think that doing this is a waste of money and food and people's energy?" Xu Boju asked with a smile.
"I don't dare."
"I dare not, that is, you really think so." Xu Boju pointed out directly.
"I will implement the method of using labor for relief in these constructions. Not only will I not requisition the civilians, but I will not consume too much money and food. It will only make the Han Dynasty more prosperous and powerful." Xu Boju said confidently.
"What is labor-for-relief? I have talked with Shoufu Zhang and General in advance. Now I will introduce it to you." Xu Boju said.
"Yes, the king of the country." Zhang Tianchen went out to salute, then turned around and said to the officials:
"Work-for-relief is a wonderful idea that the king thought of, which is to divide large projects into small sections and subcontract them to private families or merchants. These contractors will spend money to recruit people for construction. We only need to tell them the project expectations and acceptance standards. If they are qualified, the state will give money, but if they fail, they will not pay. If they are serious, they will be punished."
"For the entire construction of large-scale projects, the country only needs to provide solutions, acceptance quality and results standards, and give money."
"Some people will say, will the treasury be empty if you continue to do this? It is not enough for the country to have no money. I have been confused about this issue before with the general, but after listening to the king's explanation, we both suddenly realized."
"We give money to contractors, namely the aristocratic families or merchants who contract our projects. Merchants have to pay money to recruit workers. When the people have money, they have to pay taxes. When they have money, they will want to buy things, and more merchants will be generated. Merchants also have to pay taxes to make money. Finally, the money has been transferred around and returned to the treasury."
