"So what should we do?"
Zhao Jun raised his voice as if to keep the audience in suspense.
"You already have an idea."
Ying Zheng answered affirmatively, staring at her, waiting for her next words.
Well, Zhao Jun didn’t want him to guess, after all, he probably wouldn’t be able to guess it.
"My idea is, I think we have to make education universal."
Zhao Jun raised his head and said with great momentum.
She felt from the beginning that this was something that had to be done, it was just that the time was not right before.
Having enough food to eat and developing the economy must come first.
But now the time has clearly come, and she feels that the school must be established.
"Universal education?"
Ying Zheng didn't say anything and just murmured a few words.
Zhao Jun didn't pause either, she still had a lot to say.
"Yeah, didn't we just say that for those who can't read, then we can set up a school and start teaching. That way we can expand our manpower."
"Not only that, we will set up schools in all counties and prefectures so that everyone can learn the unified Qin language. This will greatly deepen the people's identification with Qin."
"What we ultimately want to do is make them forget which country they originally came from, and eventually they will all identify themselves as citizens of the Great Qin Empire!"
"Your Majesty, the staff shortage at the grassroots level is so severe right now. Those ordinary clerks don't have your spirit. Constant heavy work is bad for both body and mind."
"Besides, once Qin annexed the remaining two countries, the situation would only get worse."
“So I think it’s urgent to set up a school!”
Zhao Jun felt that his words were absolutely powerful.
I felt very moved when I heard it.
At this time, an unknown clerk who had worked up for three nights and had not even had a rest during the New Year came.
Angel! This is definitely an angel!
Please ask the king to send me some helpers, otherwise I will die suddenly~
This is not what Zhao Jun said, it is the truth.
Ying Zheng looked at her silently and didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhao Jun's heart, which had been floating up, gradually fell back down.
What does this mean, my king?
Suddenly, Ying Zheng smiled faintly.
She didn't know that in Ying Zheng's eyes, her appearance just now looked like a cat with its ears erected in a frenzy.
The King of Zhao was stunned by his laughter, but Ying Zheng soon regained his composure.
"Running a school, that's what you want to do."
Ying Zheng said with certainty.
"This is indeed a good idea, but the Legalists once said that making the majority of the people ignorant is more conducive to the rule of the country."
Before Ying Zheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by the angry Zhao Jun.
"How is this possible? Who said that? What bullshit is he talking about?"
Zhao Jun was so angry that he even swore.
She remembered that it was Shang Yang who said this, and this seemed to be his theory of keeping the people ignorant.
"Your Majesty, please don't think that way. The theory of keeping the people ignorant is no longer applicable."
"The enlightenment of the people will certainly not affect our governance. On the contrary, it will provide us with more talents."
"My king, you must believe me. We really need to start a school."
Zhao Jun hurriedly began to persuade him earnestly.
We can’t let Ying Zheng really believe this theory of fooling the people.
"Okay, don't be so anxious. I haven't said anything yet."
Ying Zheng held his forehead helplessly.
"I don't think those ordinary people can shake my rule, so I don't agree with the so-called theory of keeping the people ignorant."
"Your Majesty, you are truly wise!"
Zhao Jun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since you want to do it so much, and I think it's possible, then go ahead and do it."
In fact, there are risks in doing this.
Zhao Jun was able to make a safe judgment based on the experience of later dynasties and modern times.
But Ying Zheng couldn't.
But he chose to believe Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun also understood this, so he seemed to be touched again in an instant.
"But I have already said in advance that this is definitely a major project, and it cannot be done in a simple way."
Does Ying Zheng mean that he wants to be a hands-off boss?
Well, it seems that the feeling of being touched is gone again.
"I know. I've already made plans for this matter. I've almost thought of a series of solutions."
"My lord, please listen carefully and I will tell you."
Zhao Jun instantly became excited and immediately pulled Ying Zheng to tell him all the grand blueprint she had planned for the future.
but.
"Okay, don't you see what time it is now?"
"If you let me say so, I can still leave this door tonight."
Ying Zheng glanced at the moon outside through the window.
It is not difficult to see that it is already late at night.
Although Zhao Jun was in high spirits, he still felt that what he said was not quite right and ambiguous.
On second thought, she had already used up all her brain cells today.
Do I have to continue to consume the brain cells that I replenished after eating the hot pot just now?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but yawn.
"Indeed, I'm a little sleepy too. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
She covered her mouth to hide her yawn.
But the aftereffects of the alcohol she had just drunk seemed to be coming back, and she squinted her eyes and didn't want to open them.
"Forget it. How about this? Just write a detailed memorial to me first. Don't rush to give it to me tomorrow."
"This will definitely be discussed in court. Wait until I have reviewed your memorial and have confirmed that there are no issues before bringing it to court."
"Be careful when the time comes. I guess more than half of them will scold you."
