After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, Tang Ji and Changsun Pinting looked at her with admiration. These were things they had never thought about before. Since Liu Ruyan could analyze so thoroughly, it showed how wise she was.
Changsun Pinting said admiringly, "Sister Liu Ruyan is amazing. She can actually come up with so many profound questions. It's really amazing."
Tang Ji also nodded in agreement. "Sister Liu Ruyan's insights are so unique that they've really opened our eyes. If it weren't for Sister Liu Ruyan's explanation, we probably wouldn't have thought of this no matter how much time passed."
Liu Ruyan laughed happily. She finally regained some of her former charm. However, when she thought of Chu Fan's horrible governing philosophy and terrifying IQ, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Of course, Chu Fan had no idea what Liu Ruyan was thinking. If Chu Fan knew that Liu Ruyan's evaluation of him was so outrageous, he would just want to hold Liu Ruyan's head and ask her what on earth was wrong with her head that could come up with so many absurd ideas.
The convoy arrived at Yaocheng not long after. After Chu Fan entered Yaocheng, the city lord of Yaocheng, Prince Zhong Chu Xiujie, took Chu Fan directly to the academy built in Yaocheng. The three citadels were built by the victims who fled to Kaifeng City after suffering from the flood in Hedong Jiuzhou. They were originally built under the leadership of Changsun Dechong, so the construction style and layout of the three citadels are basically the same.
Yaocheng's college, like Five Star City, is also built in a central area of the city. The construction area and scale are not much different from those of Five Star City. Of course, the shortcomings are also very similar. For example, the entire college is composed of only concrete buildings without any greenery, which looks a bit monotonous and boring.
Led by Chu Xiujie, Chu Fan visited every corner of the academy and found that apart from the same problems as the academy in Five Star City, there were no major shortcomings.
After Chu Fan finished his inspection, he said, "Prince Zhong, I believe the guards have already reported to you the precautions I gave Prince Yu in Five Star City. I believe you also understand what kind of rectifications the academy needs to make, right?"
Chu Xiujie replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I personally heard what you said at the Wei State National Defense University in Five Star City. Therefore, we will implement your suggestion of strengthening greening and improving the teaching environment as soon as possible."
Chu Fan didn't expect that Chu Xiujie was also in Five Star City watching him name the academy and write the school motto. He felt relieved that at least he didn't have to talk too much about some basic matters.
Chu Fan said, "Prince Zhong already knows the basic positioning of the Wei National Defense University in Five Star City. Has the college in Yao City figured out its own positioning?"
Chu Xiujie pondered for a moment and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the goal of Yaocheng Academy is to hope that future students can become useful people who can uphold justice for the people of Wei."
After hearing Chu Xiujie's answer, Chu Fan nodded slightly and agreed with this positioning. You know, in the Shengwu Continent, many people often have no place to appeal after being treated unfairly. Even if the city lords or county magistrates and other officials are fair and honest, these people don't even know the most basic way to appeal, let alone get a fair judgment.
Although Wei Guo himself had never heard of such incidents while staying in the palace, he was well aware of the complexity of grassroots governance. The same thing was definitely happening in Wei Guo.
You must know that even when the Wei State began to implement educational reforms, it was only just beginning. The children of powerful people with deep backgrounds were often able to circumvent legal sanctions through various means, while the powerless people could only silently endure the injustice.
Even those capable and talented children of the common people find it difficult to maintain their original intention and continue to speak for the people after gaining fame and fortune. Many times they even join forces to suppress the people in order to please the powerful.
Chu Fan has always hated such things, but as the emperor, he could only ask the court to pay more attention to prevent such things from happening in Wei State. It was impossible for him to go to Wei State in person for a field investigation.
Now that Chu Xiujie of Yaocheng wants to build a university that aims to bring justice to the people, I am of course very supportive of it.
You have to know that a country's prosperity requires not only strong military and economic strength, but also the lives of its people. You have to know that the several prosperous times that appeared on Blue Star were basically prosperous times for the upper class, while the people lived in dire straits.
Although he was trying his best to create good living conditions for the people of Wei State under his rule, there might be some local officials who pretended to obey his orders but actually disobeyed his orders. Moreover, even with the supervision of the Royal Government Affairs Office and the Ministry of Personnel, some unfair situations occurred in some places. Because the incidents were not very serious and the local aristocratic families deliberately prevented the spread of the matter, even the Royal Government Affairs Office and the Ministry of Personnel would not know about them.
After Chu Xiujie told about the positioning of Yaocheng College, Chu Fan had an idea in his mind, but this idea needed to be improved by the Royal Government Affairs Office.
Chu Fan said to Chu Xiujie, "Your idea is good, but it will affect the interests of many wealthy landlords and aristocratic families. Are you sure that after your academy is built, there will be students coming to study here?"
Chu Xiujie said, "Your Majesty, I believe that there are many students with a sense of justice in the entire Wei Kingdom or even the entire Shengwu Continent. After all, the number of students who can obtain academic honors in Shengwu Continent is small. Many students may not be able to obtain academic honors in their entire lives, and may end up living a muddled life.
Many students, in many cases, are forced to rely on aristocratic families and powerful individuals for their survival. I believe that as long as we can provide them with a platform and basic living security, with the support of the Wei court, I believe that more and more students will be willing to join in and speak up for the people and uphold justice.
After hearing Chu Xiujie's words, the civil and military officials behind Chu Fan all applauded, but it was unclear how many of them were sincere and how many were just perfunctory. However, the most prominent people in the Wei Kingdom were definitely on the same side as Chu Fan. It wasn't that their families had high moral standards, but rather that their families' interests were closely tied to Chu Fan's.
In addition, the profits they could earn from an industry granted to them by His Majesty were not as great as the small profits they could earn from ordinary people, so they were more willing to support Chu Fan's decision. After all, in the long run, the stability of the country and the people's well-being are also the cornerstones of their family's prosperity.
