Chapter 278 I engage in construction in ancient and modern worlds for the development of the country 12(1/3)

"Qingqing, Your Majesty promised us to be together. When will we get married?" Before Shi Moyuan could say the words, he was hurriedly interrupted by Luo Qing.

"Go back right away, go back right away."

If he was asked to say something that he shouldn't say, his father would definitely jump up immediately. By then, this guy wouldn't be the only one who would be unlucky, and he might even be implicated.

Well, I hope his father will find out later and don’t blame him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stop him. He was about to speak just now, but his father nodded too quickly.

Why.

The emperor once again had the idea that there was something strange between the two people, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, I realized that maybe I was thinking too much and that nothing was wrong.

He immediately said with a smile: "In that case, you should go back first. It's getting late. Qing'er has just recovered from a serious illness and needs to take a good rest."

"Recovering from a serious illness?" Shi Moyuan frowned, grabbed Luo Qing's hand, and said urgently: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you? What happened? Are you okay now?"

The emperor looked at Shi Moyuan holding his son's hand and asked, "Is this a little too intimate?"

He seems to be very nervous. Why is he nervous?

Do you care?

Probably so.

I haven’t seen each other for so many years, and when I find out that something happened to the other person when I meet, I will definitely be nervous, which is quite normal when I think about it.

Seeing his father's suspicious eyes disappear, Luo Qing secretly felt guilty, "Father, I really can't bear not to tell you this."

He took out his hand, gave someone a warning look, and then said: "It's nothing, it's fine, don't worry."

Then he turned to his father: "Father, I have left the planting matter to the eldest brother and the others. I will next prepare some utensils and prepare for road construction. There is no time. The eldest brother and the others are very enthusiastic.

, I can help you solve your problems."

The emperor was surprised when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the prince would give up such a good opportunity to someone else.

But it was precisely because of this that he loved the prince even more.

He never lets his personal affairs influence major events. He is very open-minded. Unlike his other sons, who only focus on the one-third of an acre of land in front of him, he really has the world in mind.

Such a monarch is the blessing of the country.

"Okay, I said you have full authority to handle it. Arrange it however you want. If you need anything, just tell your father." The emperor sighed and patted his shoulder, full of relief.

Luo Qing was planning to mention the matter next time, but when his father said this, he immediately said: "Father, there is actually one more thing that I want my father to agree to."

"Oh? What's the matter?" The emperor became interested. What his son raised should not be a trivial matter.

"My son wants to open nine-year compulsory education." As soon as Luo Qing opened his mouth, he immediately shocked the two people present.

Shi Moyuan certainly knows what nine-year compulsory education is.

This is something we take for granted in modern times, and even something that is deeply ingrained in our bones.

When he first learned about it, he was shocked.

I was shocked at how great, courageous and far-sighted the person who proposed this decision was.

It is a supreme achievement to popularize compulsory education and let everyone know about etiquette, right and wrong, and learn etiquette, justice and integrity.

It's not that he never thought about how great it would be if his world were like this, but he never thought about actually doing it because he felt it wouldn't work.

Unexpectedly, Qingqing would bring it up.

He is really courageous and dares to think and do.

This is what a king should possess.

Whether it is right or wrong, feasible or not feasible, only by trying it will you know the result.

Who can say that it will definitely fail?

Maybe it can be done?

Isn't it?

Luo Qing saw that his father was not very understanding and did not show off, so he continued: "The state treasury will provide money to open schools in every place, call local children of appropriate age to attend the schools, and invite one or two masters to teach. , the master’s salary will be paid by the state, and students with excellent grades, those who can be admitted as scholars, and those from poor families can be supported by the local government to ensure that they have basic living conditions and study expenses.”

Luo Qing's purpose is very simple, which is to change the plight of children from poor families in studying and the harm of premature marriage.

In modern times, adults do not reach adulthood until they are eighteen years old. In ancient times, people basically started getting married at fourteen years old. Many women even got married at twelve years old.

Even if you are a child in modern times, you will be sentenced.

But if it is revised rashly, countless families will definitely not accept it, and will not pay attention to it at all. It will happen anyway. To put it bluntly, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

In addition, they don't have that kind of concept. They only think that their ancestors were like this, so why can't they do it now? Especially for some families who regard girls as money-losing goods, they will not raise them for one more day.

But if we open up education, use the Master to let them read and write, and slowly introduce some relevant ideas, they themselves will begin to change.

And for everyone, they believe the words of scholars the most.

I think all readers are great.

He took this opportunity to change the situation.

Adding to this the nine-year period, the average child goes to school at the age of five or six, and when he comes out of the ninth year, he will be thirteen or fourteen years old, and just in time to take the imperial examination, so the matter of getting married will naturally be postponed.

This will not only allow some parents to stop thinking about having their children get married too early, but also save more girls from marrying young and having children, and facing the risk of death.

He actually wanted to say directly that both men and women could enroll, but he estimated that the effect would be explosive.

He wasn't in a hurry, he just took it one step at a time, and he couldn't become fat in one sitting.

After it has been implemented for a year and a half, and everyone has a concept of free schooling, we will then propose that girls also attend school.

After gathering his thoughts, Luo Qing continued: "Father, you have been recommending scientific examinations for these years, and you also want to recruit talents and change the situation of official positions in aristocratic families. The effect has indeed been achieved in the past two years, but more of them are children of aristocratic families, and children from poor families are very poor. Young Master, if you continue like this, sooner or later you will never see a child from a poor family again."

"But who said that there are no pillars of the country among the children of poor families? They just lack an opportunity. If they get the opportunity, they will definitely be able to stand out from the crowd. And you think, if in the future, even the people who farm the land can be literate, what will happen to other countries? Knowing this will be so shocking, and this will be such a great achievement, enough to be remembered and sung by future generations."

After Luo Qing said the last two sentences, he felt that they sounded a bit familiar.

I just couldn't think of it at the moment.

Forget it, it's not important.

"Father, please look at the picture. No matter who comes to our country, everyone you meet can read and write. Everything you see is elegant. We have an invincible teacher.

Wen, we are a country of etiquette."

Luo Qing's words almost instantly ignited the emperor's inner ambition.

What a grand occasion it will be if everyone can read and write.

Just thinking about that scene, the emperor could tell that in the future, their Heavenly Palace would become a holy place for scholars.

Maybe it will develop into a situation where scholars from all over the world come to the DPRK and other countries become subordinate.

"Okay!" the emperor shouted, with excitement on his face: "The prince's proposal is a great charity, I will immediately issue an order and leave it to you to handle the details."

"Yes, Father." Luo Qing immediately accepted the order. It is easy to promulgate the policy, but the difficult thing is to implement it later.

At the beginning, there should be many families who would not be willing to send their children to school. After all, for many farm families, children are also a labor force.

But he also believes in a principle.

Free lunch, if you don't eat it, you don't get it.

After being excited, the emperor calmed down and said, "Qing'er, if the treasury provides money for this, I'm afraid it won't be able to support it for nine years."

The national treasury is quite abundant now. There have been no major natural or man-made disasters in recent years, and there have been basically only war expenditures.

"Father, I didn't say that I wanted the entire treasury to pay for it." Luo Qing smiled slyly, approached his father, and murmured for a long time, instantly making the somewhat sad emperor feel happy.

"Okay, okay!" The emperor clapped his hands and praised, "That's right, that's right."

Luo Qing smiled: "Father, I will take my leave now. You can rest early."

"Go ahead, go ahead." The emperor nodded in a good mood and watched the two of them leave.

Shi Moyuan heard the conversation between the two of them, so close.

After listening, he couldn't help but admire Qingqing's resourcefulness. He himself obviously went to the modern school, but he couldn't use some things flexibly.

Qingqing was different. He changed what was not suitable for them and it fit perfectly.

It's really amazing.

As expected of being from his family, Shi Moyuan couldn't help but be proud. He really had a good vision, hehe.

The most important thing is that Qingqing and him have met their parents, and their parents have agreed. They are now going to Qingqing's Prince's Mansion, so they are living together, right?

Forget it!

This was arranged by the elders personally, so it is recognized.

He is now close to getting married to Qingqing.

Along the way, Shi Moyuan's excitement could not subside, and he was thinking about all the things he needed to prepare for getting married.

Luo Qing didn't notice the twinkling eyes of the people around him. He now received a message pushed by the system.
To be continued...
