Chapter 410 Use Legal methods to establish a reward mechanism!
A country's reforms have never been successfully implemented and achieved results after unanimous approval from the above.
In particular, this kind of education system involving the participation of the whole people.
Although the powerful and noble bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty did not oppose the implementation of universal education because they wanted to use the need for money to plunder the public to restore their family business, they did not oppose the implementation of universal education, but for the self-cultivated farmers who still hold the majority of the nationals in the Ming Dynasty, they did not I think it is necessary to let my children receive education.
Even the court has already put the cost of sending them to their children for education to be extremely low.
Even if the ruler really does not pay attention to the difference between men and women for the sake of the interests of the nation and the country, he will set up girls' schools to allow Han women to study for the first time, and no longer advocate that "a woman without talent is virtue."
The people may not necessarily buy it.
Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty officially began to promote universal education, the results were not significant.
Except for some middle-class and above rich households in the city who choose to send their children to the societies in Fangli, most civilians ignore the new policy of the court.
Especially the people in the countryside, they cherish the value of a child's labor force even more. Even if their own children give a cow to the rich man's family, in their opinion, it is more cost-effective than sending him to study.
After all, the people are also very clear that it is unlikely to be the first to be a student in the school. Unless the family has sufficient savings, it is not worth investing.
In addition, many children themselves are unwilling to read and learn to read.
Especially for ordinary children who have not had a reading atmosphere since childhood, they can easily think that reading and literacy is a chore and it can easily hurt their self-esteem.
Because teachers in this era are very strict.
After all, Confucian ethics emphasize heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers, and the Confucian ethics of this era have existed in the hearts of the Han people for thousands of years and have long been deeply rooted.
Therefore, it is impossible for teachers to respect students in a lot of personality, and they only care about whether their students can achieve success. Therefore, when corporal punishment and humiliation of students, they naturally do not care much about students' psychological feelings.
Because of this, it is even more difficult for children from ordinary families to like reading and literacy.
In short, it is equivalent to the ruler investing a lot of money and taking a big step in opening up people's wisdom, but the people do not buy it very much.
Thousands of years of education on fooling the people made them not understand that this is good governance, and even felt that the behavior of local officials to force their children to go to school for good results is a harsh government!
After Zhang Gui saw the memorials from various places in the cabinet, he sighed and thought it was indeed not easy to transform the Han civilization.
"Now it seems that it is impossible to expect the people to cooperate. We still have to use the power of the court to enforce it!"
"Our people are still only used to being farmers and farming on their own land. They are unwilling to make changes unless they have no choice but to force them to change. Now they can only continue to use their power to force them to change, so that they can become smart and take the initiative. From a person with only a weak culture to a strong culture, no longer be at ease.”
Therefore, Zhang Gui started to say this to Han Du, Yuan Keli, and Chen Zizhuang in the Control and Preparation Department.
“How to enforce it?”
Yuan Keli asked.
"legislation!"
Zhang Gui replied: "Write compulsory education into a law and promulgate it. According to the actual financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, first stipulate the number of years that a Han person must receive. Then, if the violation is the case, if the official performs improperly, he will be demoted or dismissed; if he is a parent If his children are not sent to school, they will be fined or detained."
"Although the Legalists' methods can achieve immediate results, can they be used to be lenient and strict, so as to avoid the people being too disgusted and only increasing conflicts between officials and the people?"
Yuan Keli put forward his own opinion at this time. He had been a local people-friendly official for many years and knew better than Zhang Gui that it was not enough to govern the people by relying on the rule of law. He asked this question at this time.
Chen Zizhuang analyzed based on his historical records in the Hanlin Academy for many years and said: "Yes, all dynasties have ruled the world with filial piety. Children are not just children to their parents, but also like their personal property."
"The court forced its children to read and read and become smart, which is not necessarily their wish. Even those who hope to become successful are conservatives who think that their children should be like, and the children of doctors should also be doctors.
The son of a craftsman should also be a craftsman, otherwise he would betray his ancestors and ruin his own life."
"Therefore, the court forcibly requested that children read and read, which for many people is equivalent to taking away their private property and disturbing their family responsibilities. In short, it will be considered to be very disturbing to the people!"
Han Du said at this time: "There have been memorials from the cabinet, and some local officials have been impeached to the public for the sake of the examination, which has greatly disturbed the people. What Chen's cabinet's words have come true."
After hearing this, Zhang Gui nodded: "You are right, but you can't do it because of this. The court spent money to prepare a table of food, no one would eat it, right?"
"The people should regard their children as private property, while the court should regard Han children as the foundation for the future. This involves the issue of whether personal selfish interests should be transferred to the interests of the country, and filial piety should be improperly followed by loyalty."
"I don't think it's necessary!"
"Since the country needs the power of the court to be used to be a peaceful and prosperous era, the places that should disturb the people must disturb the people! However, the Otsutokuza said nothing wrong. The Legalists alone are not good enough, and they must be lenient and strict, just like Han energy is strong,
Not only did he inherit Qin's law, but he also had some kindness."
Zhang Gui said again, "In today's Han society, children are like their private property to their parents. If it is more direct, the Chenge tribe's meaning should be that children are like their slaves to their parents, right?"
After hearing this, Chen Zizhuang smiled awkwardly. He had to admit that his uncle's words were too serious and said, "It can be compared like this, but it is not completely true. After all, parents also want their children to give up everything."
"Whatever he is right? In short, the people are unwilling to support their children's study because they do not want to waste their children's work. Since this is the case, it is better to do so. For those who send their children to study more, the court will reward them with public expenses for them to pay for them for public expenses.
For slaves or animals, every time there are more than three children or more than five children to study, one slave or animal will be rewarded, and one will be increased in turn for each of them."
"In this way, parents with a large population of their families don't have to worry too much about their children going to school, and the number of workers is reduced too much. Anyway, slaves or livestock can be used to force them, and they can be a slave or livestock.
It's worth several children."
Zhang Gui said.
"What if there are not enough slaves or animals?"
Wei Zhongxian interrupted and asked.
"Then give money, use money instead, or owe it directly!"
Zhang Gui said.
"I owe it?"
Wei Zhongxian asked.
People like Yuan Keli and Chen Zizhuang couldn't help laughing.
"Yes, I owe it! The court should not be afraid of debts. Anyway, the more debts the court owes, the more it owes, the more likely it is to be remembered by Han people in the world. Otherwise, there would be few Han people in the world who are afraid that there would be few people in the world who are in the world.
I will worry about the court in my heart, but only know how to live my own life."
Zhang Gui said.
"This is the only way, which is better than only the Legalists' methods. At present, there are still many Japanese slaves to buy, and it is not a problem. Whether to owe debts is a matter in the future, and the trend may change in the future."
Yuan Keli said at this time, and said, "Let me jointly write a book and ask Your Majesty to issue this edict?"
Zhang Gui nodded his head and looked at Wen Zhenmeng: "Prince Zhuang Yuan drafted an edict."
Wen Zhenmeng stood up and bowed: "Okay!"
