In the next few days, Zhao Jun checked the accounts in the Nei Shi Mansion during the day and thought about writing memorials at night.
Another three days passed before she finally wrote out a clear outline.
Then, she went to see Ying Zheng with a thick stack of memorials in her arms.
"Your Majesty, this is the plan I spent five days painstakingly writing. Please take a look at it. Do you have any suggestions?"
The King of Zhao stood beside Ying Zheng and obediently handed over the memorial in his hand.
Ying Zheng sat upright, glanced up at her, took the thick memorial and began to read it.
But after a moment, Ying Zheng couldn't help but see a few blue veins popping out on his forehead.
But he didn't say anything and just read all the content in silence.
Zhao Jun looked at his expression nervously, feeling that something was wrong.
After reading it, Ying Zheng put the memorial on the table and then glanced at Zhao Jun again.
Now the veins stopped twitching and turned into a faint smile.
Is this a laugh out of anger?
Ying Zheng came back to his senses and rested his forehead on the table with his arms.
"I said before that if you put forward this plan, most of the people in the court would scold you. I was wrong."
"Looking at it now, there shouldn't be anyone who wouldn't want to scold you."
"Do you know who among them will curse the most harshly?"
Ying Zheng actually has time to joke?
Zhao Jun was shocked, but when he heard his question, he felt a chill down his spine.
"Who is it?"
She asked cautiously.
"Li Si, he will not only scold you, he may even want to beat you."
Ying Zheng spoke calmly, and sighed helplessly after a while.
"It's okay, he doesn't dare to hit me."
"My king, this plan is very problematic?"
It shouldn't be like this, how come she didn't notice it at all?
"Well, I don't think there's any problem with the construction of the school, but the more problematic thing is the compilation of the textbooks you mentioned."
"You proposed to combine the strengths of all schools of thought, calling on scholars from legalism, Confucianism, Taoism, agriculture, medicine, and so on to jointly compile textbooks. I'm afraid this will earn you more criticism than you ever received for running your own school."
Zhao Jun understood what he meant. Indeed, this was within his imagination.
"I understand why Li Si scolded me the most harshly. He is a representative of the Legalist school, and the entire Qin State is now governed by the Legalist school of thought. He probably wouldn't accept me developing other disciplines."
Zhao Jun also sighed, however.
"It's useless for him to scold me. Besides, it's not like I don't rule the country by law. I just want to absorb the strengths of all schools."
"Also, I want to use this kind of teaching material in middle schools. Ordinary children won't be able to access it at first."
This was also the idea she wrote in the memorial.
In addition to primary school for children under the age of fourteen, she also prepared a higher-level secondary school.
If ordinary people want to be minor officials, then primary school education is enough, but if they want to achieve higher achievements, there is of course the more knowledgeable middle school.
Unfortunately, the conditions are not sufficient now and she can only imagine these two categories.
"Even so, I'm afraid the resistance will not be small."
Ying Zheng also saw what she wrote later.
"It's okay. As long as the king supports me, I'm sure I can win the argument."
Zhao Jun is full of fighting spirit, but there will always be stumbling blocks on her road to educational career.
"Okay, since I choose to support you, then you should do your best."
Since Ying Zheng chose to support her, he didn't care how many people opposed her.
Anyway, he always had the final say, and those ministers did not dare to disobey him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. If everything is alright here, I will go to court tomorrow."
After getting Ying Zheng's nod, Zhao Jun felt at ease.
What followed was a debate with the scholars in the court.
Although it was expected, today's noise still attracted attention.
Especially Li Si, what Ying Zheng said turned out to be true.
"Your Majesty! Our Qin has always been governed by law. How can we accept other doctrines?"
Li Si cried with great emotion, and Zhao Jun, who was standing next to him, seemed to be on the verge of tears.
"That's right, the Prime Minister is absolutely right."
Most officials echoed this.
The King of Zhao ignored these people, and Ying Zheng, who was sitting above, just watched with an expressionless face.
After a moment, Meng Yi stood up.
"Your Majesty, I have a different opinion."
Meng Yi held his hands and spoke in front of other officials.
"Mr. Zhao's contributions to the Qin State over the past few years are obvious to all. From high-yield crops like corn, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes, to papermaking, cotton, and now glass, to coal and the steamships that have already been launched."
"Each of these miraculous discoveries was brought to us by Lord Zhao. I believe that Lord Zhao's loyalty to the Qin State is recognized by the entire Qin State, and even by the King."
"Lord Zhao's ultimate goal in promoting universal education is to cultivate talent and solve problems for the Qin State. Furthermore, Lord Zhao has also stated that while we will absorb various schools of thought, we will resolutely not undermine the foundation of Qin's rule of law."
"In order to better cultivate talents and build the Great Qin, isn't the Prime Minister willing to give in on such a small matter?"
good!
Zhao Jun, who was standing next to him, had his eyes shining!
Meng Yi's words were so good and powerful, and they perfectly defended Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun is now crossing his arms across his chest, looking quite relaxed.
She felt that it was not her turn to debate with the ministers.
Don’t you see that there are representative spokespersons here?
Zhao Jun gave Meng Yi a big thumbs up in his heart.
"I also think what Lord Meng Yi said makes sense."
A strong male voice sounded, and when I turned around, it was Meng Tian.
My brothers will definitely support me.
Zhao Jun also smiled and nodded at him.
Li Si was speechless after Meng Yi's last question.
Do we have to ask him to say that he is unwilling to contribute to the Qin State?
