Since we have established a bank, how can we not develop the loan business? Since we have developed the loan business, how can we not develop student loans?
Think about the frighteningly high student loans that Americans have to take on. If you take on these loans, you’ll have to be a worker for the rest of your life. This is a blessing!
Lu Chen felt that as a conscientious person, he should not follow the old aesthetics in student loans and let people spend their entire lives on it. He should just do it for twenty or thirty years as a token of his appreciation.
Lu Chen felt excited when he thought that all the civil and military officials in the court would owe him money in the future!
Li Zhuo and the six ministers were also very excited. The central bank was a new thing and had been discussed in the court for some time. But how could they not have thought that the central bank could also provide this kind of student loan!
It’s a tough life for scholars! Ten years of hard study is no joke.
If one person goes to school, the family will lose a young labor force and will also have to be responsible for his food.
It's okay for rich families, but if this kind of thing happens to a poor family, it can really make people worry until they turn gray.
No wonder it is so difficult for a poor family to produce a scholar or a juren. It really takes a lot of effort to support them.
Scholars are useless. They sit at home reading every day and see their family members living such a hard life. Don’t these scholars feel a little guilty?
Why did Fan Jin become like that after passing the imperial examination? Is it really just because there are many benefits after passing the imperial examination?
Let’s just say there is a possibility that the long-term life of poverty and misery has already compressed his nerves into a thin thread.
But if you have a student loan, it will be different!
Just as Lu Chen said, even if he couldn't give much, giving a little every month would at least prevent his family from starving, and this would be a blessing from heaven.
Both Li Zhuo and the six ministers saw huge benefits from it.
As the saying goes, favors come from above. Although this idea was proposed by Lu Chen, it was Li Zhuo who finally gave the nod.
Later, when it was publicized to the outside world, Li Zhuo came up with this idea because he felt that the scholars in the world had a hard life.
What do you call this? This is the emperor’s great grace!
Just like Sheng Endan, who would dare to be disloyal to Da Qi and the imperial court in the future if they had used student loans?
If such people really existed, Shilin would have criticized them to pieces without Li Zhuo saying anything.
Compared with the annual tribute, it doesn’t cost much to support a scholar in your own family in a year, not to mention that the money is borrowed and has to be repaid.
If you think about it this way, isn’t it the same as not spending a penny but winning the hearts of all the scholars in the world?
This wave is just like Qin Shi Huang touching the electric switch - what a win!
As for the people from the six ministries, they are also very excited now!
The reason is simple, there is profit here!
The benefit they were talking about was power and reputation. As for money, it was actually the least valuable thing here, and Lu Chen might not let them interfere.
The emperor can announce to the public that he will provide student loans to people all over the world. This is a kind act of His Majesty.
But aren’t the officials actually doing the actual work?
There are only a few people in your central bank, so ultimately implementation at the local level will definitely have to be done by the civil service system.
Just imagine, on a snowy night, a poor scholar's family is destitute and lacks food and clothing. The whole family huddles on the kang, using each other's body temperature for warmth. The child in their arms is crying for food, and they have no idea what to eat the next day.
Just when the family was in despair and felt that they could no longer survive, someone suddenly knocked on the door and shouted, "Fellow countryman, open the door, warmth is coming!"
I opened the door with trepidation and saw that it was someone sent by the local government school. Braving the wind and snow, they pulled out a copper coin that still had some warmth from their body. They said, "This is the student loan you applied for. It was just approved today. I was afraid you needed it urgently, so I just sent it to you overnight."
"Oh, by the way, I thought it would be inconvenient for you to go out and buy food with such heavy snow, so I decided to use some of the money to buy food."
"Don't worry, this is all grain from the government warehouse. It's not fresh, but it's cheap. Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore. There are still several families waiting for student loans to save their lives. I'll take my leave now. If you can get admitted in the future, it won't be too late for you and me to have a drink together!"
What do you call this? This is called providing timely assistance!
If this kind of thing happens, the reputation of the local officials will be soaring. And if one of them really gets into high school, then they will have connections in the future!
The officials who are responsible for handling the scholarships this time will be able to act with impunity among the scholars in the future.
Even in the future, their descendants can proudly tell all the scholars that this student loan system was improved with the help of our ancestors. Every one of you who has used a student loan is indebted to our ancestors.
For a family like this, even if the family falls into decline in the future, the children of the family will definitely be tougher than others if they go out to beg for food.
The only bad thing is that the value of the Wanmin Umbrella will probably be greatly reduced again. After all, the Wanmin Umbrella has become rampant since Lu Chen was born.
Lu Chen has this ability. He can always do something that benefits everyone in the court.
If someone doesn't benefit, it must be because of your own lack of ability, and you can't blame others.
"Okay, okay, the Imperial Master has proposed another good policy that benefits both the country and the people. Let's implement it according to the Imperial Master's wishes. You six ministries must fully cooperate, understand?"
The people from the six departments nodded one after another. They would cooperate. They would definitely cooperate this time. There was no way they couldn't cooperate!
What a joke! How could I refuse such a good opportunity to improve my political achievements?
Perhaps the people from the six departments used to want to compete for dominance during the cooperation process.
But after going through many things, they also realized that when it comes to the issue of dominance, they should not challenge the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The Chinese Academy of Sciences is the one that really makes money, and they can easily beat them with just a random idea!
Seeing everyone so happy, Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I have another special idea. You should have seen it. Although we don't engage in basic teaching here, the quality of our education is definitely not bad. If we also consider that scholars all over the world will read the textbooks we compile in the future, it would be inappropriate if the difficulty of the imperial examination is not adjusted."
"So I'm wondering if the task of writing exam questions will also fall to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After all, the exams are held here, and if the questions are written elsewhere, it will always seem a bit out of place."
"Of course, if you feel that the level of our School of Arts is not good enough, we can also exchange ideas and learn from each other!"
