Chapter 71: Innovators survive, conservatives die



Full of enthusiasm, Chunyu Yue and his companions worked extremely efficiently.

Ten days later, the academy will be completed.

However, the position of the chief academic officer of the academy has not yet been decided.

The Jijiu was the chief of the academy, equivalent to the modern university president, which shows the importance of this position.

"A Zheng, do you have a candidate in mind for the chief priest?"

Chu Yuening lay on the table with a sad face.

The only candidates she was familiar with were Mo Ju and Chen Nong, both of whom were very capable.

Needless to say, Mo Ju has developed so many things that benefit the country and the people.

Chen Nong should not be underestimated. Not only is he compiling agricultural books, he has also improved many planting techniques and fertilization methods.

Both of them are top talents in their respective fields, making it difficult to choose.

"Yuening, why do you have to choose?"

Ying Zheng asked back, with extraordinary courage and dominance between his brows.

The various schools of thought were all knowledgeable and had their own strengths, regardless of their level.

Since we are all working for the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty, there is no need to divide people into superiors and subordinates and cause disputes. It is better to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses, and each do his or her own job.

"...yes!"

A word awakened the dreamer, and Chu Yuening excitedly grabbed Ying Zheng's sleeve.

Then he thought of something and laughed at himself.

Fortunately, she is an open-minded modern person, but she doesn't even have this kind of innovative thinking.

In the past, there was indeed only one chief academic officer in the Jixia Academy, and only one president in the university.

But the Great Qin Academy has never existed in history, so why couldn't it break through the shackles and reform and innovate?

"Yuen Ning?"

Ying Zheng noticed the woman's lost mood and asked her with concern.

Chu Yuening calmed down and regained confidence and vitality on her face.

"Nothing, I just thought of a brilliant idea."

She did not rush to tell the story, but first ordered the palace maids to summon a few people to Zhangtai Palace to discuss the matter.

After a long time, when Chu Yuening was bored enough to play with Ying Zheng's slender fingers, everyone finally arrived.

Glancing at Li Si, Wang Jian, Xia Wuqie, Chunyu Yue, Mo Ju, Chen Nong and others who were paying their respects, she smiled gently without losing the dignity of a queen.

"My dear ministers, please take a seat."

Several people looked at each other, but when they saw His Majesty nodded, they sat down.

"I wonder why Your Majesty and Your Majesty have summoned us?"

Li Si, who was least familiar with Chu Yuening, couldn't help but ask the first question.

"You should have heard about the affairs of the academy. Today we will discuss this matter."

"Your Majesty, do you want us to be teachers at the academy?"

Wang Jian thought of the military book and a light bulb went off in his head.

Upon hearing this, Li Si frowned immediately.

As the prime minister, he was busy with official duties every day and had no time to teach in the academy. He was about to refuse.

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Not only that, His Majesty and I wish to appoint you as the Imperial Academy Priests."

Chu Yuening interrupted Li Si's unfinished words, with a look of confidence in her eyes.

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked shocked.

There is a world of difference between a teacher and a schoolmaster. The schoolmaster not only participates in state affairs, but also has great influence on education.

Chunyu Yue stroked his beard and grasped the key point of the words.

"But isn't there always only one chief academic officer in the academy?"

"Always? What have I ever done that didn't break the rules?"

“Innovators live, conservatives die.”

"As long as you can cultivate talents for my Great Qin, I will naturally be able to give you the position of Jijiu."

Ying Zheng's tone was calm, but everyone present could hear the passion in it.

Several people showed admiration and worship on their faces.

This is their Majesty!

The First Emperor, whose achievements surpassed those of the Three Sovereigns and virtues of the Five Emperors and who unified the world, was admired by everyone for his courage and dominance.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty for your appreciation. We are willing to serve as the chief priests and cultivate talents for the Qin Dynasty."

Everyone was convinced.

Being a chief priest is definitely better than being a teacher. Even Li Si, who had wanted to refuse before, looked sincere.

He also had his own considerations. If other people taught students and the students later became officials in the court, his position as a legalist would be even more shaky.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Chu Yuening told them the next plan.

"I wish to establish a medical school, an agricultural school, an engineering school, a law school, a business school, and a military academy within the academy, and you will serve as deans, or chief priests, of each."

"Students must undergo an assessment before entering the academy, and then be assigned to various colleges based on their wishes and strengths. How do you think that is?"

Such a well-organized school planning made Ying Zheng smile and feel proud.

"This method is extremely appropriate. The Queen has considered it very carefully."

"Your Majesty is quick-witted, and this will make the academy easier to manage."

"That's right, we can teach the students separately."

“…”

The method of dividing the houses proposed by Chu Yuening was highly praised by everyone, and they all nodded in agreement.

Finally, the selection of the chief academic officer of the academy came to a perfect end.

After everyone bowed and left, Chu Yuening suddenly thought of something.

"A Zheng, I want to build a library in the academy so that students can read widely."

Ying Zheng frowned in thought.

Knowledge is rare and precious, let alone books.

"Yuening, isn't the collection of books in the palace enough?"

"A Zheng, do you think the territory of the Great Qin is sufficient?"

“For readers, the more books, the better.”

Chu Yuening blinked and made a playful joke.

Breakthroughs in means of production have always been inseparable from the accumulation and innovation of knowledge. Ideals without basic support will only be castles in the air.

"What Yue Ning said is true."

"What's your plan?"

Ying Zheng pinched the woman's face lovingly. He had already figured out her style of doing things.
