Fu Youde knew that if he really resigned at this time, the consequences would be very serious.
You must know that there are many people in his family serving in the court. If he, the Minister of Rites, really retires and returns home, the influence of his family in the Wei court will definitely be greatly reduced.
Moreover, he had made many enemies during his years as an official. If he really left the court, those he had offended in the past would definitely take the opportunity to suppress his family.
Thinking of this, Fu Youde couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't make a real decision on impulse, otherwise it would definitely implicate the family.
Another point is that his family would never allow him to resign from the position of Minister of Works. After all, because of his position as Minister of Rites, his family is also in the circle of interests of His Majesty.
The family is now finally able to live a wealthy life. If I dare to tell the family that I want to retire and return home, I am afraid that the whole family will strongly oppose it.
Fu Youde looked at the direction where Cao Mengde left and sighed, "Fortunately, Prime Minister Cao reminded me, otherwise I might have made a big mistake."
Minister of Personnel Quan Zhengcheng looked at Fu Youde, who had come to his senses, and said with a smile, "I thought you really wanted to resign. You should know that there are many people in the Wei court eyeing our position. If you voluntarily resign, other ministers in the court will seize the opportunity to compete for your position. Of course, your family will no longer be able to receive the preferential treatment given by His Majesty."
After Quan Zhengcheng finished speaking, he left quickly. He also needed to do what His Majesty had asked the Ministry of Personnel to do.
Now many court ministers in Wei State are very jealous of the generous treatment that the six ministers can get by entering His Majesty's circle of interests. Although the ministers in the court can also obtain some benefits with the development of Wei State, the gap compared with the six ministers is still obvious.
Fu You smiled awkwardly and walked towards his Ministry of Rites. He was really blinded by greed just now. How could he have such an idea?
After Chu Fan held the court meeting, the first task completed by the six ministries was the construction of a university in Kaifeng City. They bought a courtyard covering dozens of acres and transformed it into a school. They did not directly name the school, but went to the palace to ask Chu Fan, the Emperor of Wei, to personally give the name and write the school motto.
Because Chu Fan had personally written the school motto for the Royal Academy, it was difficult for him to refuse the request of the six ministries.
When Chu Fan arrived at the entrance of the academy, he asked, "What kind of talents are you planning to cultivate in this academy?"
Minister of War Mu Yundian said, "Your Majesty, this academy aims to cultivate brave and skilled generals and military talents proficient in military tactics and strategies for the future of the Wei Kingdom, laying a solid foundation for the future military development of the Wei Kingdom."
In reality, the six ministers had already discussed this with the princes of the Imperial Government Affairs Office. The Imperial Academy, controlled by the royal family in Kaifeng, would focus on Confucianism, mathematics, and agriculture. The academy controlled by the imperial court would specialize in military affairs and the art of war, cultivating practical talents and complementing the Imperial Academy. However, the two academies were to be independent, preventing the situation where civil officials and military commanders would attend the same school.
Although this cannot completely cut off the possibility of collusion between civil officials and military generals, it can greatly reduce the occurrence of collusion between civil officials and military generals.
Of course, this does not mean that these two colleges will not learn other knowledge. Other knowledge must be learned, but the importance of learning is different.
What the Wei State needed were well-rounded talents. Even civil servants needed to understand some basic military theory knowledge, so that in case the general defending the city died in battle, the civil servants in the city could take over the army in the city and organize soldiers and civilians for effective defense.
Wei's generals also needed to understand basic administrative management and arithmetic. This allowed them to roughly calculate the food and supplies needed for each expedition, ensuring orderly logistical support. This also prevented excessive waste and corruption.
This training model aims to enable every official, whether civil or military, to fully master the skills required to govern the country, so that the State of Wei can then develop further.
After listening to Mu Yundian's explanation, Chu Fan agreed that this approach was sound. If the university controlled by the imperial court became a martial arts school, then Kaifeng would have two universities, one for civil and one for military. This would not only meet the country's need for diverse talent, but also promote mutual understanding and collaboration between the civil and military branches.
The universities in the three Acropolis cultivate well-rounded talents, of course we can also say they are "middle-of-the-road" talents. College students in the three Acropolis need to master more comprehensive basic knowledge, whether it is military, Confucianism, agronomy, or arithmetic. They need to master the basics of these aspects in order to solve the problems encountered by grassroots people in their lives.
Just when Chu Fan was planning the university in Wei State in his mind, Mu Yundian had already prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and placed them in front of Chu Fan.
Mu Yundian said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we implore you to give this new university a meaningful name."
Chu Fan also understood that when he decided on the name and wrote the school motto for the university under the royal family's responsibility, he should also give the same treatment to the university under the court's responsibility. Fortunately, he already had a specific idea in his mind.
So Chu Fan picked up the brush and wrote the four big characters "Weiwu Academy" on the top piece of rice paper.
After Mu Yundian carefully put away the piece of rice paper, Chu Fan continued writing on another piece of rice paper spread out on the table.
"If you want to get promoted and make money, please go elsewhere. If you are afraid of death, don't enter this door."
When everyone present witnessed these eighteen words, they all stood in awe. These eighteen words perfectly interpreted the integrity and responsibility that a soldier should have.
The eighteen characters Chu Fan wrote were actually inspired by the motto written by Dr. Sun Yat-sen for the Whampoa Military Academy on Blue Planet. However, considering the current situation in Wei, which did not yet have the conditions for developing socialism, Chu Fan did not write the four characters "Revolutionaries Come" on the horizontal scroll.
Mu Yundian stared at the eighteen words on the paper, his heart filled with respect. He wanted to touch them with his hands, but was worried that his actions would destroy this precious calligraphy written by His Majesty.
Chu Fan said to Mu Yundian, "These eighteen characters will become the motto of Weiwu Academy. I hope you can carve these eighteen characters on the gate of the academy so that every student who sets foot here will remember them and always remind themselves to never forget their original intention."
