Chapter 2201 Compulsory Education
The little girl is about six or seven years old. She is wearing a red cotton-padded jacket with two braids. Her little face is flushed with cold and her eyes are big, bright and lively. She looks really cute.
Li Chen also liked it when he saw it, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
The little girl was so courageous that she opened her mother's hand and said to Li Chen bluntly: "Prince, the court promised to open a private school for us to go to school for free. When will it be available?"
Li Chen was stunned for a moment.
He thought carefully for a while before he remembered that this was really the case.
That was before the establishment of colleges. Modern people have committed the bad habit of always thinking about popularizing compulsory education. At that time, Li Chen also had some experience in the court and tested the reaction of the ministers. The strange thing is that they have always resisted reform and
The changed ministers actually had no reaction on this matter. This discovery gave Li Chen a very wrong signal, which made him think that this matter was feasible.
Later, Li Chen realized that there were two reasons why the ministers did not clamor that the ancestral system should not be tampered with and would die in the Hall of Supreme Harmony if he did not take it back.
The first reason is to popularize education, which is to educate all people. Not to mention the Qin Empire, even if it dates back to Yao, Shun, and Yu, this is the first-class political correctness in the world. It is a true inheritance of the saints’ unique knowledge and the benefit of the world.
It is a first-class good thing. Who dares to oppose such a thing?
The second reason is also the main reason. These dog ministers know better than anyone else that this matter cannot be done because... there is no money.
To popularize compulsory education, it is no longer a question of how much money to spend, but the social productivity of the Qin Empire today is simply impossible to support such a great cause.
How big was the entire Great Qin Empire?
In addition to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, there are also the Seven Guards of Guanxi, which govern Qinghai and the southern and northern Xinjiang, and manage Tibetans and most of the vast Kashmir region.
It is really not an exaggeration to describe such a huge territory with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The straight-line distance from east to west is nearly 6,000 kilometers, which is 12,000 miles in miles. And if you go from Nurgan Dusi in the north to Nurgan Dusi in the south
Meng Gen Mansion, this distance can easily exceed 10,000 kilometers, a full 20,000 miles.
Therefore, Li Chen sometimes laments that the great ancestor of the Qin Empire is really awesome. He was born as a beggar, worked as a monk for several years, and embarked on the road of rebellion. He is the only true grassroots farmer in the history of the entire Chinese nation.
, without a trace of the power and wealth of the previous dynasty’s nobles, to build such a huge empire by force.
This country is so exaggerated. The entire Vladivostok region to the north belongs to our old Li family. The west is even more exaggerated. It directly penetrates the national border of the Qin Empire into Central Asia and the entire Kashmir Valley.
It is Daqin Longqi, and as soon as you go out, you will see Islamabad directly.
Going south past Yunnan, half of Myanmar is the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Now, Myanmar is not called Myanmar, it is called the Burmese Division. That's right... The ancestors of Myanmar were actually just a division under the Great Qin Empire, not even a capital.
On top of that, the ordinary administrative level is no different from that of Baoding Prefecture...it's still a place where the Central Plains doesn't like it at all.
In such a huge territory, there are 1,171 officially registered counties. To implement compulsory education, even if it is the most cost-effective way to set up a private school in each county, it is conservatively estimated that it will take nearly a year.
