Only then did Chu Junyuan realize the gap between himself and Chu Fan in governing ability. Chu Fan had already given him so much information, but he still couldn't fully grasp the emperor's intentions.
Seeing that Chu Junyuan still looked like he didn't know how to deal with the matter, Chu Fan felt a little powerless. Chu Junyuan still couldn't come up with the framework of this world to think about the problem. He could only tell him the solution in his mind without reservation and let him carry it out. There was no need to let him think about it himself and embarrass him, nor was there any need to waste his energy.
Chu Fan said, "After you return to Yaocheng, explain clearly to these families and children that the National Defense University of Wei will not admit students under any special circumstances. However, children of martyrs' families who are admitted to university can enjoy tuition waivers. In addition, after graduation, children of martyrs' families can receive priority promotions, and the achievements of their parents or grandparents can be transformed into personal honors and considerations for promotions.
Of course, the other four universities will also implement the same policy. I will have Prime Minister Cao publish this news through the Royal Daily, so that all the people of Wei will know. That way, they will not embarrass you any further, and you can then proceed with your enrollment work as normal.
If you have nothing else to do, you can go back to continue your recruitment work for the National Defense University of Wei."
Chu Fan directly ordered them to leave. He had dealt with too many things today and was very tired. He didn't want to work anymore.
First, Chu Zhenglin and Fu Youde came to inquire about the steam locomotive and the wedding, and then Chu Junyuan came to inquire about the admission of children of martyrs. Today, I, a salted fish who only wanted to lie down, was deeply exhausted. I had to set aside some time to have fun with my harem.
Chu Junyuan also noticed Chu Fan's impatience. Since he had already received the detailed solution and guidelines, he said no more. He bowed deeply, then respectfully left the imperial study and the palace.
On the way to Yaocheng, Chu Junyuan carefully pondered Chu Fan's words. The more he thought about it, the more he felt His Majesty's wisdom and foresight in governing the country. Chu Junyuan had begun to understand the deeper meaning behind Chu Fan's solution.
Chu Junyuan thought with deep emotion: Your Majesty's governance is truly brilliant. Once Your Majesty announces preferential policies for the children of martyrs, Wei will see more heroes willing to sacrifice their lives for their country. This will give many people a good starting point for their descendants, and they will contribute even more to the Wei State.
Such measures not only inspire loyalty to the nation but also strengthen national cohesion. They understand that only by truly contributing to the nation can they receive tangible rewards. The preferential treatment afforded to the children of martyrs allows them to feel the warmth and fairness of the nation. Such policies are unparalleled in any other country on the Shengwu Continent.
When ordinary people or the aristocratic families who had previously watched from the sidelines saw the descendants of the martyrs receive such favors, would they also want their children to receive similar treatment? Chu Junyuan firmly believed that this was very likely to happen, because many people would not be too dissatisfied with their own experiences, but would do their best to ensure that the younger generations of their families could receive better treatment.
His Majesty has instructed the five universities to resolutely not admit students on an exceptional basis. On the one hand, this is to maintain relative fairness in education. As long as they can pass the entrance examination, students from both common people and aristocratic families can enter the university to study. In this way, as long as the children of ordinary people are diligent in their studies, they can also be admitted to the university to study.
On the other hand, maintaining fairness in student admissions would ensure that universities only selected the best talent. By then, whether they were children of ordinary people or those from wealthy families, as long as they could graduate from the five universities, they would all be elites capable of doing their jobs, completely eliminating the problem of unqualified students filling in the gaps.
After Chu Junyuan figured out these problems, he hurried back to Yaocheng. He first went to the National Defense University of Wei State and asked the city guards to properly arrange for the families of these martyrs, because it was already dusk today and there was not much time to explain to them.
Moreover, Chu Junyuan thought of a place to explain the new policies made by His Majesty, so that the families of these martyrs could better understand His Majesty's good intentions, and then it could also infect the ordinary people and members of those aristocratic families who came to watch.
Chu Junyuan looked at the setting sun, feeling deeply moved. Since he had understood the deep meaning of His Majesty's policy, he would do his best to do it. And the best place to talk to the families of these martyrs was the martyrs' cemetery established by His Majesty.
Although there may not be relatives of the martyrs in the Martyrs' Cemetery, it is a holy place for His Majesty to pay tribute to the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. Moreover, this place is next to the imperial mausoleum. When His Majesty reads out the new policies here, it will have a greater impact, and the families of the martyrs will be more likely to listen to his advice.
Meanwhile, Cao Mengde, having received Chu Fan's order, was busy arranging for the Royal Daily to publish this policy. This was a crucial phase in Wei's educational reforms, with the five academies in Kaifeng and the three citadels currently recruiting students. All university admissions policies and information needed to be published immediately for the people of Wei.
The next morning, after the Wei Royal Daily had started selling, the students in Kaifeng who were waiting for university admissions all had their own opinions after reading the contents of the newspaper.
Of course, most people still strongly support the policy made by Chu Fan. Of course, there will also be people who dislike this policy. After all, they have already taken the exam, but now new policies appear every few days. What's the difference between this and playing tricks on them?
Besides students discussing the new preferential treatment policy for children of martyrs, some prominent families were also considering whether they could gain more benefits from this policy. The heads of some prominent families gathered their elders together to speculate on the impact of this policy on the training of their children.
Some family heads believed that they could no longer rely solely on family power to find a way out for their children, and that they had to let them take the college entrance examination with real talents and knowledge. However, some family heads keenly realized that this might be an opportunity to build closer relations with ordinary people. If the family children could make friends with the descendants of martyrs, they might be able to get more help in the future.
