"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am the Minister of the Ministry of War. After coming here, I do not seek to continue to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. I only hope that Your Highness the Crown Prince can arrange for me to join the Ministry of War."
Zhao Kun said in a deep voice.
"Master Zhao..."
Liu Wenle looked at Zhao Kun in shock.
He did not expect that Zhao Kun was so dedicated to the Ministry of War, but Lin Fan looked at Zhao Kun with interest. This person must serve in the Ministry of Education.
Since he is arrogant and looks down on the Ministry of Education, don't blame yourself for beating him hard.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "Shang Shu Zhao, right? You said you want to serve in the Ministry of War, so let me ask you, can you march and fight?
Can you arrange your troops in formation?"
Zhao Kun was asked. When he was in Nanjing City, although he was in charge of 50,000 elite soldiers, he only spent money to support them and never commanded them to fight.
"this……"
Zhao Kun was speechless.
Lin Fan added: "When you were in Nanjing, you had 50,000 elite soldiers, but you were always timid. When the capital was in trouble, you didn't dare to send troops. I knew you were a fool!"
"Did you know that when Li Zicheng occupied Xi'an, if you knew some military skills and directly sent troops to attack Li Zicheng, you would be a hero of the Ming Dynasty!"
"At that time, Li Jiantai, he will not be qualified to compete with you. Now you are the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I gave you a chance, but it didn't work for you. Now you are showing off your temper in front of this prince. Is it useful?
If you don't understand the affairs of the Ministry of War, why are you going there?"
"However, you have the opportunity to learn slowly about the matters of the Ministry of Education. I now appoint Liu Wenle as the Minister of Education. As for Zhao Kun, what do you want to do?"
Lin Fan directly appointed Liu Wenle.
this!
Zhao Kun's face turned pale when he heard that Lin Fan appointed Liu Wenle as Minister of Education. He had always been above Liu Wenle, but now he became his subordinate.
"Ahem! Your Highness the Crown Prince! Mr. Zhao's talent and learning are not inferior to mine. How about this? There are two ministers in the Ministry of Education. How about that?"
Liu Wenle coughed twice and said.
Zhao Kun's expression softened somewhat, and Lin Fan said: "No! If the Ministry of Education has two ministers, wouldn't it be incompatible with the other six?"
"In my opinion, Zhao Kun will be a minister of the Ministry of Education for the time being. If his ability to do things in the future is good, I can consider letting you two change."
Ahem!
After Lin Fan finished speaking, Liu Wenle coughed twice in embarrassment. He wanted to slap himself in the face now. If he had known better, he would not have said those words. Now he is threatening his status.
"Your Highness, I know that I am incompetent and have missed many opportunities. However, I hope that Your Highness can see my loyalty!"
Zhao Kun said in a deep voice.
hehe!
Lin Fan sneered in his heart, are you the only one who is still loyal?
If you hadn't been the Minister of the Ministry of War and knew some methods of winning over people's hearts, I wouldn't have let you be the Minister of Education.
"Yes! I will see your loyalty!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Zhao Kun looked at Lin Fan. He knew very well that Lin Fan did not trust him.
"Let me first tell you about the responsibilities of the Ministry of Education, which is to set up schools throughout the Ming Dynasty and enroll people's children in the schools to study."
"The Ministry of Rites is already doing this. However, the most important task of the Ministry of Rites now is to compile books. It is most appropriate to leave this matter to you."
"Schools are divided into primary school, junior high school and high school. Among them, primary school and junior high school do not charge tuition fees. There are six grades in primary school and three in junior high school. I call it nine years of compulsory education."
"As for high school, there are also three years, because in my plan, the knowledge learned in high school is more difficult and has certain requirements for students!"
"Therefore, if junior high school students want to advance to high school, they need to take an exam. Through the exam, outstanding students will be selected to enter high school!"
"After studying in high school for three years, take the college entrance examination and pass the college entrance examination, students are selected to study in major colleges. After graduating from major colleges, students can become the pillars of the country."
"This is a basic structure. Moreover, the Ministry of Rites has prepared the initial teaching materials. The rest is up to you to make detailed plans. Are there any questions?"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
this……
When they heard what Lin Fan said about the responsibilities of the Ministry of Education, these people were stunned. How could they be officials? They were clearly doing hard work!
The biggest difficulty in this is not the structure of the rules, but who is going to teach the children to learn knowledge?
In the past, these were all done by the Ministry of Rites.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites are looking for young people who are fifteen or sixteen years old to teach simple knowledge. Once they are asked to detail it in detail, it is not something that young people aged fifteen or sixteen can teach.
This requires people with more knowledge, that is to say, those literati!
His Royal Highness wants them to persuade the literati to enroll their sons in teaching in the hall, but the Ministry of Rites cannot do it. In the hearts of the literati, everyone is shouting and beating them, so how can they persuade them?
"Your Highness, this matter is a bit difficult for us."
Liu Wenle said.
"Your Highness, the difficulty in this matter is to convince those literati to promote their sons. Those people have had their titles revoked. According to outside rumors, it is all because of us. If we try to persuade them at this time, we will be scolded by them!"
"That's right! Your Highness, the matter of canceling their honors was really not our fault. Please forgive us, Your Highness!"
The officials all begged.
Lin Fan said with a smile: "Since those literati think that you have canceled their honors, then you should find a way to give them back one, that's all!"
"These people all have high standards. As long as it makes them different from ordinary people, they will accept it."
"Yes! Your Highness, do you want to return their honors to them?"
Liu Wenle said in surprise.
"That's impossible. However, to enter classroom teaching, you must first have a teacher qualification certificate. For this certificate, you need to take an exam!"
"If they agree to teach in the classroom, I can let them skip the exam and get this certificate directly!"
"With this certificate, you don't have to kneel down when you see an official, and you can get a salary equivalent to a seventh-grade official every month. You don't have the power of an official, but you enjoy the treatment of an official!"
"Not only has their special treatment not decreased, but it has become even greater than before!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
kindness!
All the officials present were overjoyed after hearing this. If this condition existed, those literati would definitely be eager to teach in the classroom.
"Your Highness, we have started publicity in the past few days, and we will definitely persuade those literati to raise their sons and enter the school to teach."
