Chapter 674: Take Back The Leadership In Education And Review The Qualifications For Running Schools
On the podium, Yan Changqing looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes below and said:
"What I just said is a reference plan for how the state-owned economy can occupy a dominant position in the national economy, and how the national court can occupy a dominant position in 'food, clothing, housing and transportation, and people's basic needs'.
“Let’s talk about the education industry next.”
“Whether it’s the integration of government and business as mentioned before, or the issue of regional party strife, both of these are essentially problems with education!!!”
“The reason why the integration of government and business occurred is because the national court ceded the right to education to private individuals such as merchants and gentry outside the national court, allowing them to own the right to education.
"That's why businessmen and gentry can cultivate the officials they need and let those officials become the spokespersons of their interests."
"The reason why regional party disputes arise is mainly because the educational development in various regions of the Ming Dynasty is unbalanced. The cultural and educational level in the south is far better than that in the north."
"So in the face of the powerful southern scholars, governors, and ministers, the northern scholars, governors, and ministers had to respond to the suppression of the southern scholars, governors, and ministers by joining a group to keep warm."
"Faced with the northern scholars, governors, and ministers who gathered together for warmth, individual southern scholars, governors, and ministers were unable to compete. Only groups can compete with groups."
“So the scholars, governors, and ministers from the south had to stick together to keep warm, in order to fight against the scholars, governors, and ministers from the north.
“In the end, regional party struggles in the south and north formed, and even further evolved into party struggles in various regions of the Ming Dynasty.”
"So if you want to solve these problems, then the national court must start from the education aspect, for example, take back the education rights of the people!!!"
Hearing this, Prince Zhu Biao frowned slightly and said:
“Take back the education rights of private 187 people?!!”
"Sir, do you mean to prohibit private merchants and wealthy gentry from setting up academies?!!"
"If this is the case, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar among students all over the world, and even cause strong dissatisfaction and resistance from students all over the world, right?!!"
On the other side, King Qin Zhu Di also nodded and said:
"That's right, although we know that the establishment of academies by merchants and gentry can easily lead to the integration of government and business and regional party disputes."
"However, these issues cannot be told openly to all the students in the world."
"In other words, on the surface, such a reason cannot be used to prohibit merchants and gentry from establishing academies."
"Students all over the world will only see that they have lost their original opportunity to study, and thus they will become dissatisfied, even resentful, towards the country and the court.
"At that time, countless students in the world will definitely gather together and ask the national court to give them an explanation."
After the words of King Zhu Fang of Qin fell, King Zhu Fan of Jin also picked up the words and said:
"And, no matter what, merchants and gentry set up academies to teach and educate people, and help poor students to complete their studies at low or even free prices. This has been a good deed since ancient times."
"The imperial court has no reason to stop it, even if the imperial court officials come forward to stop it, or prohibit merchants and gentry from setting up academies to teach and educate people, and provide low-cost or even free financial aid to poor students to complete their studies."
"Then the national court will lose its reputation as a great righteousness, and in turn, it will lose the hearts and minds of all the students in the world!"
On the other side, King Yan Zhu Di also frowned and said:
"Unless the national court (bhcd) prevents and prohibits private merchants and gentry from establishing academies, the national court will then build academies of the same size and number to give those students the opportunity to continue their studies.
"But as a result, the national court's financial expenditure on education will inevitably increase greatly."
"It's even unclear whether the national court can support such a huge financial expenditure on education."
“And if the financial expenditure on education is too large, it will inevitably affect the country’s imperial court’s financial expenditure on other aspects.
"For example, building concrete and cement highways throughout all provinces, prefectures, states, and counties around the world, and building an economic and industrial chain from state-owned supply to state-owned sales, are extremely important, and at the same time costly, major national affairs!!!"
“If in order to solve the problem of education, the construction of concrete and cement highways throughout the country’s provinces, prefectures, states and counties will be delayed, as well as the construction of an economic industrial chain from state-owned supply to state-owned sales.
"I'm afraid the problems caused by this will not be much smaller than the problems in education."
On the podium, Yan Changqing listened quietly to the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other ten people, each talking about the problems caused by the country's imperial court taking back the right to education.
It wasn't until Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes had finished explaining almost all the troubles that the national court had in trying to take back the right to education, that Yan Changqing said calmly:
"Everything your Highnesses said makes sense."
"However, when I talk about taking back the right to education, I do not mean to completely prohibit private merchants, gentry, or other people from opening academies."
"What I mean by taking back the right to education is that in the future, all private merchants, gentry, or other people who want to open academies must submit formal and detailed application materials to the national government department in charge of education. review.”
"For example, the Ministry of Rites, only after approval from the Ministry of Rites can private merchants, gentry, or others open academies!!!"
"In other words, if anyone wants to open an academy in the future, he must obtain the consent of the national court before he can open an academy."
"Anyone who has not obtained the approval of the national court and opens an academy without authorization will be charged with illegally running a school and will be closed down, and those who illegally open a new academy will be punished.
Appropriate penalties will be imposed. "
"As for the reason for enacting this law, it can be said that the court was worried that someone would use the name of running a school to defraud the people and students of their money, or that people with talent but insufficient moral character would set up academies at will, thus misleading students!!!"
"In this way, no matter whether it is private students, other businessmen, gentry, or other people who want to establish an academy, they should not have too many complaints."
"After all, for students, the court is worried that they will be defrauded of money in the name of running a school, or that their studies and future will be delayed by people with insufficient talents and moral character, so they have this regulation."
“It’s too late for private students to be grateful to the country and the imperial court, so why should they be dissatisfied and resentful?!”
"And for those who really want to set up academies, teach and educate people, the national court has not completely prohibited them from setting up academies, teaching and educating people."
"It's just asking them to report to the national court and review it before setting up an academy."
"Furthermore, the national court's move is also to ensure that private students will not be deceived and have their studies and future delayed."
"In the eyes of those moral gentlemen who really want to set up academies and teach and educate people, this is not a bad thing either."
"They even hope that the national court will be more strict in reviewing the establishment of academies, the better."
"Because of the strict review by the national court, if they can apply for the qualification to run a school, then from another perspective, it proves that they are people with real talents and good conduct who have been reviewed and approved by the national court!"
"For them, this is an alternative way to increase their reputation."
"Only those businessmen and gentry with evil intentions who try to cultivate officials who are inclined to themselves, close to themselves, and represent their own interests will be dissatisfied."
"Because as merchants and gentry, most of them do not meet the requirements for applying to host an academy."
"Even if there are merchants and gentry who meet the requirements for applying for an academy, the approval power for academies is in the hands of the national court, and the national court can also actively control the number of merchants and gentry who apply for academies."
"Let the number of academies applied for by those merchants and gentry be kept at a low value."
"And if they are unable to apply for a large number of academies, then the number of officials they can cultivate who are inclined to, are close to themselves, and speak for their own interests will naturally be greatly reduced."
"In this way, even if there are officials close to merchants in the court, the number will not be too many, let alone enough to affect the direction of the government.
"As a result, the integration of government and business that merchants and gentry hoped for through 'merchants train officials, and officials protect merchants' will naturally be largely abolished."
Hearing this, the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang below, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Cang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di, etc. all lit up.
Although what Yan Changqing said about taking back the right to education is not to completely ban private academies.
But when the establishment of academies by the private sector requires the permission of the national court, then whether those merchants and gentry can still establish academies is a matter of one sentence from the national court?!
At that time, as long as the national court rejects the requests of those merchants and gentry to establish academies, it will naturally be able to abolish the delusion of those merchants and gentry to "integrate government and business"!!!
