Liu Muzhi's brows were still frowning: "Then you let these Confucian scholars and scholars from Qingzhou teach in schools everywhere. How do you calculate their status? Are they doctors given by the court, wine sacrifices, or just teachers in private schools? If it doesn't count,
As for officials, I’m afraid many people don’t want to come out and do this.”
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Are you afraid that setting up a large school here in Qingzhou, if it is considered an official and imperial establishment, will cause a proliferation of official positions, cause dissatisfaction in other places, or attract the attention of high-ranking families and exert resistance again?
?”
Liu Muzhi nodded: "Yes, the most troublesome thing is the latter. The aristocratic families will think that you want to use this road to increase the number of officials in Qingzhou. In the future, you can slowly move to other places by changing official positions.
This kind of official quota will eventually transfer the power of the world to the hands of one's own people."
Liu Yu sighed: "So, the reason they can expressly oppose is the rule we have formulated that no one can be an official without a title, and no one can be a title without merit, right?"
Liu Muzhi said with a smile: "Yes, you really made it clear at one point. This is also the excuse given by these high-ranking families to prevent Xiangxu of Jingkou from running the business. In the end, Fan Ning's disciples were left with no official status.
, so the official positions of the academy such as doctors and priests cannot be given. If these disciples keep teaching in the school and end up without official positions, no status, and no salary, they will not be able to do it for a long time."
Liu Yu said seriously: "So, we have to break this restriction, which is what I said about the industrialization of education. Those who attend classes in schools, from teachers to lecturers, do not have to be given official titles, but they can be given money and food first. This
Do you think it is feasible to adopt a government-run private school model?"
Liu Muzhi murmured to himself: "A government-run private school? This sounds interesting, but how can it be reflected in this government-run school?"
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "That is to say, in terms of status, no official title will be given, but a very high sum of money can be given as teaching salary. This money can be paid from the national treasury."
Liu Muzhi curled his lips and said: "The state treasury always has to have a name to pay. In the land of Qingzhou, in the two or three years after the war, it did not collect taxes for the time being because it wanted to appease the local people. When the time comes, the state treasury will
To provide money to pay at least several thousand teachers, according to you, if the money is sufficient, then I am afraid that a large amount of money will have to be provided from the Jiankang treasury. This court meeting will probably be difficult.
Pass it."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "When I went on the Northern Expedition, there was almost no support in the court, but didn't I still send troops successfully? It is of course easy to make excuses. Just in the name of maintaining stability in Qingzhou and civilizing the Xianbei people,
Come and run this school."
Liu Muzhi's heart stirred: "Are you saying that in the name of educating the Xianbei people and letting them read and learn calligraphy, a large number of such schools will be opened? This is a good idea, but in the end, these schools of yours are mainly for the children of the Han people.
It’s open, especially to the children of officials and soldiers of the security group. If this is brought to light, I’m afraid it will have to be closed down.”
Liu Yu said calmly: "What's not easy to solve on this point? To educate the Xianbei people is to maintain stability in Qingzhou. Doesn't it mean that appeasing the local Han people in Qingzhou and the soldiers guarding Qingzhou is not maintaining stability? This is a newly annexed place.
The risk of rebellion is high, and it is close to enemy countries. Just like the six counties in Jiangbei in the past, it increases the cost of maintaining stability in such a place. Who can criticize some special policies? If anyone criticizes, let his whole family come to Qingzhou, to the far north.
Go to the beacon tower in the far west and the border."
Liu Muzhi laughed and said, "This is what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did to Dr. Di Shan. It is indeed cruel. However, even if no one dares to oppose it publicly, it can be used as a stumbling block in private, such as using the excuse that the war to quell the monster thieves is too expensive.
, For example, if you need to pay for the fallen soldiers, if you need to recruit troops and provide food to defeat the demon thieves, you are temporarily unable to appease Qingzhou on a large scale. In other words, the national treasury has no money and the land of Wu is powerless, so how do you solve this problem? "
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "I don't expect the aristocratic families and powerful people in Wu to contribute much to this matter. I hope that the money can be solved in Qingzhou as much as possible. Fatty, do you have a way to raise this money in Qingzhou?"
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped, and he sighed: "I knew that after all these detours, you still wanted me to do this. That's all. Since you have made up your mind, I can only cooperate with you fully.
The only feasible way to achieve this goal in the short term is to coerce and induce the powerful local families to provide money and food."
Liu Yu softly said "Oh": "What are your methods of coercion and inducement? Tell me about it?"
Liu Muzhi said calmly: "In the process of besieging Guanggu for more than a year, my spies basically found out all the local powerful families. In fact, they are quite rich in money and food. If they can supply five thousand
According to the standard of 200 guan per person per month, a teacher will be paid about 2 guan 5 per year. After one year, the teacher's salary will be 12,500 guan, which is about 20 tons of rice.
In terms of money, based on the current grain prices, one stone of rice costs 200 yuan, and five stone meters of rice costs the same. This is a total of more than 80,000 stone meters. Counting the width, it’s 150,000 stone.”
"We besieged Guanggu. Over the past year, these powerful men have transported a total of about 500,000 shi of rice for military supplies. In other words, the rice and grain they have given us over the past year is enough for us to operate in Qingzhou for three years.
Education. But in return we promise to retain the existing manors, forts, and fields of the powerful Han families. If you want them to pay this large sum of money for food, you must have enough status."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Then does your title give you an official position or a title? Since you have analyzed so much, you should have thought about using your power to cash in in exchange for additional support from local powerful people."
The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Yes, they can provide us with the money and food to run the school for three years in one year, which shows that they have this ability, and we will be tax-free in Qingzhou later.
After a few years of endowment, their ability in this area will only become stronger, but if you want them to take out these things, they must be forced to take them, and it is best to offer them proactively. This is what I call coercion and inducement."
"The so-called coercion can be to establish authority by killing several wealthy families such as Han Fan, telling them that they will continue to segregate their regimes and hide their private interests, or even liaise with foreign countries. And inducement means to give them real benefits in return, as long as
By cooperating with the imperial court, I won’t treat them badly. I’ve thought about this, and becoming a nobleman is the best way.”
