The next morning, when Li Xuan came out of Ye's room with a tired look on his face and his feet empty, he forced a smile on his face: "My beloved, it's cold outside, there's no need to send you off.
Let's go back!"
Ye's face looked radiant, and her already extremely beautiful face smiled even brighter. She hummed softly, and then asked, "Are you coming over tonight?"
Li Xuan originally wanted to reply subconsciously!
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, and then said: "I have many plans today, I'm afraid I will be busy until late!"
After saying that, he quickly turned around and walked away!
Hearing Mrs. Ye's soft whisper again, he couldn't help but agreed to come over again tonight. In that case, he would probably exhaust himself, a young cow, to death!
Damn it, who said one-on-one is easier than one-two!
Although Dong Yunyun and Zhu Er are also difficult to deal with, after several days of continuous fighting, they have returned to normal. However, this Ye family has not been exposed to rain and dew for almost two months. As the saying goes, a break is better than a new marriage. This entanglement
His fighting power was so strong that Li Xuan's little brother was so tired that he foamed at the mouth several times in one night.
Afterwards, when Li Xuan looked at the pitiful appearance of his limp little brother, he felt sorry for his little brother!
"Little brother, I'm sorry for you. I'll give you a day off tonight. We won't serve those women anymore!"
After escaping in embarrassment, Li Xuan went to the front hall to attend the morning court according to his usual management!
However, this kind of morning court meeting was just a small court meeting. To Li Xuan, it was more like a morning meeting. There were only seven people participating. After briefly talking about trivial matters, everyone quickly dispersed and went about their business.
Li Xuan returned to his exclusive office and first told the officials outside the office that all documents and interviews would be postponed this morning!
He needs to get a good night's sleep, otherwise he won't be able to get out of bed once the dark circles appear!
As soon as the door of the office was closed, Li Xuan slept directly on the recliner inside with his clothes on. He had a very comfortable sleep. There was no woman rubbing his soft flesh, and no woman playing with his little brother with her hands.
At the same time, he said in a voice that was so loud that it made people go weak: I want you to...
If a person can sleep so comfortably, what else is there to pursue!
After sleeping until noon, Li Xuan was full of sleep. After having lunch alone in the royal restaurant next to the office, the day's work officially started!
First, I read through the documents sent by the Imperial Academy officials step by step!
Some of these reports are trivial, but some are also military and national affairs!
Today's Tang Dynasty is no longer a small dynasty in the mountains with only a few hundred people at the beginning. When the scale grows, the same thing will often become different in nature.
For example, if it were a year ago, Li Xuan would not have even bothered to read the report on the opening of the Imperial College submitted by the Ministry of Rites.
But it’s different now!
The establishment of the Imperial College is an important part of the current education system of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be underestimated!
Currently, there are four formal schools in the Tang Dynasty, including the Martial Arts School directly under the Privy Council, which is dedicated to training low-level officers.
There is also the Royal Academy, which is also sponsored by the Privy Council, but is directly managed by Li Xuan himself. It is dedicated to training mid-level officers.
In addition, there are two schools, the ‘Literary School’ and the ‘Engineering School’ opened by the Education Department of the Ministry of Rites.
The Literature Hall is mainly responsible for the enlightenment education of young people, mainly training low-level officials. The courses studied are mainly various liberal arts contents, such as the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, arithmetic, history, astronomy and geography, etc.
Although the Engineering School is said to be established by the Education Department of the Ministry of Rites, it is actually led and responsible by the Ministry of Industry. It is mainly to train various technical personnel needed by the Ministry of Industry. Most of the courses studied are science courses.
Including arithmetic, astronomy and geography, mechanical physics, chemistry, etc.
Many of the main courses and even textbooks in these schools were compiled or even written by Li Xuan himself.
Especially the science-related content, Li Xuan spent a lot of time writing down all the mathematics, physics, chemistry and other related content that he still remembered.
And whenever he remembers some relevant knowledge from his past life, he will promptly record it with banknotes to avoid completely forgetting it over time.
Let’s not mention the two military schools mentioned above. These have nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, but the Literature School and the Engineering School have a greater relationship with the Ministry of Rites.
The Education Department of the Ministry of Rites, for example, has recently been competing with the Ministry of Industry for the actual dominance of the Engineering School!
Because the Ministry of Rites was the only institution responsible for education in the Tang Dynasty, whether it was opening schools or taking imperial examinations, it was the Ministry of Rites' business. The Ministry of Industry had a hand in the Gong School, which made people in the Ministry of Rites a little dissatisfied.
So recently, people from the Ministry of Rites are planning to create an Imperial College, merging the Literature Hall and the Engineering School into the Imperial College, directly under the management of the Ministry of Rites, and kicking out those from the Ministry of Works.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan naturally knew that the people below were also fighting for power, but he still supported the establishment of the Imperial College.
Nowadays, there are few scholars in the Tang Dynasty, and there are even fewer teachers who can teach content other than the Four Books and Five Classics. Spreading this among four schools is seriously insufficient.
If we can merge, we can also concentrate our teaching staff!
However, when the Ministry of Rites was preparing to establish the Imperial College, it tilted the direction too much towards cultivating civil servants. It greatly increased the content of traditional poetry and books, while reducing the content of arithmetic, physics, chemistry, astronomy and geography. This is unacceptable!
If Li Xuan only needs a group of scholars who can only understand traditional poetry and calligraphy, then there is a large group outside. Even though the overall proportion of these scholars who have joined the Tang Dynasty is not high, the overall number is still huge, and there is no need at all.
Ask for trouble and cultivate yourself.
The talents he needs are not the kind of readers who only know the traditional Four Books and Five Classics, but they must understand traditional Chinese studies, and they must also have scientific knowledge. Even if they are liberal arts students, they must at least be able to understand arithmetic and basic astronomy and geography.
Liberal arts students with scientific knowledge.
So he directly wrote his own annotation under the report on preparations for the establishment of the Imperial College: "Add science courses, and add courses related to history and policy theory!"
Apart from these, he felt that the Imperial College organized by the Ministry of Rites had no big problems in other aspects!
The newly planned Imperial College will have two major branches, including the School of Liberal Arts and the School of Science. These two schools will basically directly incorporate the original Literature Hall and Engineering School into them.
At the same time, Li Xuan also ordered the establishment of two separate departments, namely the Department of Medicine and the Department of Agriculture!
The purpose of establishing the Department of Agriculture was naturally to improve the agricultural level of the Tang Dynasty. As for the Department of Medicine, in fact, this was due to Li Xuan's selfishness. The level of medical care these days is so low that just catching a cold can kill someone.
Li Xuan didn't want to catch a cold that day and die immediately.
Developing medical treatment is to save your own life!
At the same time, in order to support the development of the Imperial College and attract scholars to enroll, in addition to selecting young people from within the Tang Dynasty to enroll, it will also open enrollment to the outside world. As long as they are young people and their basic cultural level is acceptable, they can basically apply.
It is also promised that students from the Imperial College can directly become officials after graduation!
Regardless of whether it is a college of liberal arts or science, a department of medicine, or a department of agriculture, you can become an official after graduation!
From ancient times to the present, there has been no profession that has attracted more Chinese people than being an official!
After approving the report on the preparations for the establishment of the Imperial College, the next report was from the Ministry of Rites, applying for the establishment of the first imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty!
This is not the first time this matter has been mentioned. In fact, when Xingquan Prefecture was first taken over, the idea of launching an imperial examination was already considered. Li Xuan not only did not object to this, but also strongly supported it.
However, when preparing to hold the imperial examination in the fall, those from the Ministry of Rites secretly conducted a survey among civilian scholars, asking if the imperial examination was opened in the Tang Dynasty, would you apply for it?
As a result, the investigation results made Li Xuan very helpless. At that time, few people were willing to report on the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty. In order to avoid the embarrassing situation that after the first imperial examination of important political significance was launched with great fanfare, not many scholars came to take the examination.
.
The imperial examination has been delayed again and again!
Now that the frontline army has defeated the puppet Ming army of 50,000 to 60,000 troops and swept across Guizhou, the Ministry of Rites is also bringing up old matters and preparing to hold an imperial examination in the coming spring.
Li Xuan naturally supported this. The purpose of setting up the imperial examination was actually not to recruit talents to become officials, but a political show to declare to people in Guizhou, Guangxi and other places that our Tang Dynasty was not a bandit, but a bandit.
It was a serious dynasty.
And this political oath is extremely important!
It is precisely because it is important that we must be extremely cautious!
There was not enough confidence that there would be a large number of scholars to take the exam, so Li Xuan would rather postpone the imperial examination than make a joke that no one would take the exam!
If this kind of thing spreads, the reputation of the Tang Dynasty will be lost. This will greatly damage the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and Li Xuan's prestige.
After reading the report of the Ministry of Rites, Li Xuan commented: The imperial examination should be handled with caution. If you are not absolutely sure, it is better to postpone it!
Anyway, the Spring Festival is not over yet, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. Let the Ministry of Rites do some homework first, and then officially start the imperial examination when the preparations are complete, so as not to make outsiders laugh.
After the Ministry of Rites dealt with two matters in a row, the next step was the report from the Tax Department. The matter mentioned in this report was only a trivial matter at first glance.
Because as mentioned above, due to the repeated prohibitions of tax evasion and armed tax resistance, the current strength of the tax inspection team cannot cope with large-scale armed tax resistance incidents. Each time, the arrest and robbery camp and even the regular army must be requested for assistance, but the arrest and robbery camp
The regular army is busy with military affairs and often cannot help. Therefore, the Ministry of Taxation requested the establishment of a tax inspection corps directly affiliated with the Ministry of Taxation. It has a tentative number of 2,000 people and is equipped with the same equipment as the regular army. It is dedicated to combating large-scale armed resistance to taxes.
He also said that the Ministry of Food, Expenditure, Expenditure and Taxation will raise funds for any military equipment required, and not a penny of military expenditure will be used!
Seeing this, Li Xuan immediately became curious, and then he didn't bother to read the details. He went directly to see who wrote this memorial. He wanted to see who was so bold that he wanted to learn from the later Song Ziwen.
What kind of tax police corps is this? Let’s not mention what Li Xuan’s reaction will be, but if the military generals find out about this, they will probably bring their soldiers to his door and stab him.
