Chapter 798 New Policy
After hearing this, Zhou Xu looked confused. Perhaps it was because he was too tired. At this moment, his reaction was much slower, and it took him a while to recover.
[I almost forgot, I still have three concubines.]
Although it is not good to say this, since the winter, I have been busy with government affairs and research at the same time. Mantra, and at the same time he had to worry about the alliance with the wood elves. All kinds of things combined, he was so busy that he really completely forgot about the three concubines.
To be honest, he is very sleepy now and just wants to sleep.
But upon careful reflection, it seemed that he had indeed not favored a concubine for a long time.
"Then, let's go to Concubine Shu's place tonight, Concubine Shu's place."
Zhou Xu made a simple decision. He asked Li Bowen to do the hateful thing before. Li Bowen did a good job and has been working diligently since then. He should also express himself and send a positive signal to the other party.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu went directly to Li Qin'er's palace to have a meal.
After finishing the meal, Zhou Xu felt even more sleepy. After the maids removed the bowls, chopsticks and plates and retreated, Li Qiner looked at her Majesty, whom she had not seen for a long time, with a look on her face. A blush.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment, I'm going to take a bath right now."
"Oh, go ahead."
The sleepy Zhou Xu waved his hand casually, and waited for Li Qin'er to take a bath. , he took off his coat and fell on the bed. The next second, the loud snoring echoed in the palace...
After a slight delay for two or three days, Zhou Xu quickly returned to his own self. In the normal routine in the past.
Meanwhile, far away in Black Moon City, the large ship manufacturing project also officially started in early spring.
Zhou Xu asked Wang Dong to take the position of 'consultant'.
After all, we are modern people. We have seen things before, and our minds need to be more active.
Sometimes Wang Dong takes a look and asks a few questions, which can save the project team a lot of detours and save a lot of time and financial expenses.
Of course, on the contrary, Wang Dong had long been promised to engage in education. Although Zhou Xu delayed it for a long time, he did not fall behind and officially started it two years ago.
In fact, if we started to engage in education two years ago, it might not be as good as it is now.
At this point in time, their new generation of children has formed a certain size, and at the same time they have reached the age of enlightenment. It is just the right time for education to be connected, and everything is so logical.
But from a teacher's perspective, Wang Dong's power is limited after all.
The children who need enlightenment and learning are now spread across various cities. It is unrealistic to gather them all in one city, and it is even more unrealistic for Wang Dong to go to various cities to teach them one after another.
So the task Zhou Xu assigned to Wang Dong years ago was not to teach children, but to teach teachers, so that he could teach a group of teachers who could provide enlightenment education for children.
Wang Dong is not picky about this. As long as he is engaged in education and is committed to the development of the education industry, he is enthusiastic.
Now, with Wang Dong's dedicated teaching and the task of providing enlightenment education to their older children, the first batch of teachers have officially started teaching and have been assigned to each city by Zhou Xu.
The problems with the school during this period are relatively simple to deal with. All you need to do is build a large enough room. Other than that, there are no hard requirements.
All preparations are now in place.
And Zhou Xu also took the initiative and officially launched his own new policy, which is 'compulsory education'!
As long as they are citizens of Dazhou, children under the age of twelve can go to school for free!
As soon as this decree was issued, the people had no idea. Officials of the old dynasty headed by Li Bowen took the lead in making a fuss.
"Minister Li, what do you mean by your Majesty's introduction of compulsory education?!" The official who said this had a look of shock and anger on his face, with a vague hint of amusement in his eyebrows. Panic.
Faced with this problem, Li Bowen, who was sitting there, frowned deeply.
A few days ago, news came out that His Majesty was resting in Concubine Shu's palace. As a result, not even a few days later, the decree came down.
Their Majesty is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Minister Li, what time is it? Could you please say something?!"
Li Bowen frowned even more as he listened to the urging.
“Noisy, noisy, noisy, what are you arguing about?!”
Although the emperor has been changed, Li Bowen’s prestige among the officials of the old dynasty is still high.
Take now, for example, if something big happens, don't these guys have to come and ask him?
As soon as Li Bowen spoke up, the scene, which was as noisy as a vegetable market, suddenly became quiet.
Feeling the gazes falling on him, Li Bowen said solemnly...
"Is His Majesty negotiating with you? This is His Majesty's order! You'd better figure it out! "
Hearing this, the faces of all the officials present were filled with uncertainty.
"Then we just accept it?!"
Obviously, they are really unwilling.
You know, this is an era when you can get a good job as long as you are literate.
Under this premise, why are the people still illiterate? Or why don’t they learn?
The key reason is that this knowledge is in the hands of those wealthy families, and the common people cannot learn it even if they want to.
In addition, studying costs money and time. In this era, families without any savings cannot afford to study.
Ordinary people are busy working every day. Even if they save some money, they will only think about marrying a wife, adding some items to their home, or even improving their food, but they will not think about using the money. On reading.
Because essentially, reading is too far away from them.
This directly led to the fact that during the old dynasty, and even earlier when the countries on this continent were still there, the court officials of each country were almost monopolized by those aristocratic families.
If the emperor doesn’t reuse them, there will be no one to use them!
But now, Zhou Xu not only arranged teachers and schools, but also waived tuition fees and established compulsory education, directly lowering the reading threshold for ordinary people to the lowest level.
In the eyes of those aristocratic families, this approach is tantamount to prying at their foundation!
If things continue like this, their transcendent status will not be guaranteed, even if they don't think about it in a hurry.
Originally, their idea was to bring everyone together to unite the front and then discuss countermeasures. During this period, Li Bowen, who was the original backbone and whose influence cannot be underestimated, was naturally the top priority.
Unexpectedly, Li Bowen's approach was completely different from what they expected.
Li Bowen shook his head, then slowly stood up and walked outside.
"Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!"
