The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

"My dear friends, is there anything else to tell?" Jia Jue asked after looking around at the courtiers.

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.

Their problems have been dealt with quickly and well, and they really have nothing to do at this time.

Seeing this, Jia Jue smiled faintly: "My love friends have nothing to say, but I have some things to say here."

All the courtiers were moved when they heard the words, Jia Jue still has something to say?
"Sir, please listen carefully!"

Jia Jue looked at them and said with a smile: "In recent years, the national power of the Han Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and everything is prosperous. It is all thanks to the hard work and dedication of all the lovers that we can achieve this grand scene."

All the courtiers showed a look of joy, and they had a bright face to be affirmed and appreciated by Jia Jue.

At this time, Jia Jue suddenly changed the subject: "However, under such a grand scene, I have also seen some shortcomings. My dear friends, what do you think should be done for Zhengang?"

A group of courtiers immediately stated:
"If there are any omissions, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

They thought that Jia Jue wanted to point out some policy issues, but Jia Jue's next move made them all startled.

He waved his hand, but a group of servants came out from inside under the leadership of Liu Tian. They held a stack of books in their hands and came to the courtier's door, and distributed the books to the courtiers one by one.

Puzzled, the courtiers looked at the books in their hands, but saw a few large characters written on the cover:

Dahan five-year plan!

This made them confused. They opened the cover one after another and looked at the contents of the book.

And this look, after a while, made them all stare wide-eyed, and their eyes were full of shock.

This book seems inconspicuous, but it contains many policy plans in detail, covering almost the entire government affairs of the imperial court, such as: agriculture, commerce, education, military and so on.

All the courtiers only looked at it for a while, and then they began to get excited.

"May I ask Your Majesty, is this five-year plan serious?" A courtier stood up and asked Jia Jue tremblingly.

The excitement on this person's face was none other than Sun Yi, the Imperial College's sacrificial wine.

"Master Sun, this book was written by His Majesty himself, how can it be false." At this time, Liu Tian who passed by Sun Yi said.

Sun Yi blushed, but suddenly knelt down towards Jia Jue:

"I dare not question Your Majesty, but, just, if this is true, I would like to thank His Majesty for your grace on behalf of all the students in the world!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed to Jia Jue.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, Jia Jue stepped down from his seat, and personally helped Sun Yi up from the ground:
"Why is Aiqing like this?"

Jia Jue used to study at the Imperial College, and Sun Yi was the Imperial College Jijiu, and he was regarded as Jia Jue's teacher, so Jia Jue also gave him a certain amount of respect.

This move also won the unanimous appreciation of the ministers.

At this time, Jia Jue is the Ninth Five-Year Master, but he can still maintain his heart and know how to respect his teacher, which is really commendable.

However, what they were wondering about was why Sun Yi was so excited?
Sun Yi looked at Jia Jue and said excitedly:

"The imperial court opened a school and sent all children from all over the world to school, regardless of rich or poor, regardless of their background. This is a great charity!"

hiss!
Everyone gasped when they heard the words, and looked at Jia Jue with shocked eyes.

Jia Jue's move exceeded their imagination. What a shocking move it is to let children all over the world read books.

At this time, it was not easy to study, most of them went to private schools, and there were very few public schools, and the places were very limited, basically for the children of the government.And the private schools opened need students with high reputations, and the tuition fees for admission are not cheap.

It is still difficult for the children of ordinary people to study.

However, what Jia Jue is doing now is that the imperial court opens schools and lets children go to school without charging fees.

This is to allow children all over the world to go to school without barriers!
It takes a lot of guts!

Not to mention Sun Yi who is in charge of education, even they are equally excited.

If all the children in the world can go to school, there will be many more talents in the world. With a large number of talents, it is difficult for the whole man to become strong.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

They all excitedly bowed to Jia Jue.

Jia Jue smiled faintly and waved his hand.

In fact, he has already been doing this, but he relied on Kong Na's personal reputation and ability before, but at this time, he raised this matter to the level of a national policy, and implemented it at a natural speed far faster than before.

Everyone was overjoyed by this, only one person showed a look of hesitation, his face changed for a while, and he stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, please think again!"

Everyone frowned slightly, followed the prestige and saw that it was Chen Jiang who spoke.

Jia Jue looked at him, then nodded slightly: "That's what Ai Qing said."

Chen Jiang said hastily: "Your Majesty's move is indeed a move to benefit the common people. However, the cost is also huge, and the treasury may not be able to support it. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to think twice!"

Everyone looked at Jia Jue upon hearing the words, with a hint of worry in their eyes.

Indeed, what Chen Jiang said was right. Although Jia Jue's actions were good, they were extremely costly.

Building a school, hiring teachers and other personnel, giving students pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc., are all expenses.

It would be fine if there were only a hundred or ten, but now this is a policy that must be implemented all over the world. According to the description in the booklet, it must be spread to the villages. This requires a huge number of schools and personnel.

All in all, this is an extremely huge expense. No wonder Chen Jiang, who is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wanted to give his opinion.

If most of the expenditure is used to build schools, then there may be problems in other aspects. By that time, education has not been completed, but other aspects have gone wrong, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Jia Jue smiled lightly and asked, "I don't know how much money Ai Qing thinks this will cost?"

"This..." Chen Jiang hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and then said, "Your Majesty, I think that it needs 2000 million taels per year."

Everyone frowned when they heard the words. 2000 million taels is definitely not a small number. It is afraid that it will occupy a large part of the national treasury revenue. No wonder Chen Jiang wants to object.

You know, the annual income of the treasury is only 8000 to [-] million taels of silver.

Jia Jue looked at the crowd, then shook his head slightly: "Aiqing is still conservative. In my opinion, the annual expenditure of this move should be 5000 million taels."

"what?"

Above the court hall, there was a sudden exclamation, and everyone looked at Jia Jue with astonishment.

They didn't expect that the cost would be so high.

Sun Yi's complexion changed, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, although this is a good move, it will cost a lot of money, so let's postpone it."

Although he also wanted to carry out this move, but with such a high cost, he naturally knew who was more important and who was more important.

Jia Jue smiled when he heard the words: "No, I have made a decision, and this move can be carried out immediately."

Everyone was dumbfounded, but Jia Jue insisted on going his own way!
