Iron Dynasty - Chapter 1052
Qingzhou.
While the Nanyang War was going on, Xiao Ming was also worried about the complicated government affairs.
As the external enemy fell, the external contradictions disappeared, but because of this reason, the internal contradictions seemed to suddenly become prominent.
Of course, he understands that this is just his illusion. In fact, internal problems have always existed, but they have been covered up by successive wars.
The articles in the newspaper were mostly about the South and North Wars, which made everyone’s attention more focused on foreign wars.
“Establishing a noble school! Whose bad idea is this?” Xiao Ming looked at Pang Yukun with a dull look.
With a look of helplessness, he said: “It is reasonable to say that such trivial matters should not bother the emperor, but the conflict between the poor and the noble students in the school is getting more and more serious. From time to time, the noble children bully the poor students. Many times the newspapers are worried about offending the rich and powerful. If it weren’t for the veterans to inspect the colleges and encounter the imperial court, they would not find out.”
“The court case? Why have I never received a court case report!” Xiao Ming frowned.
Mentioning this Pang Yukun was even more angry. He said: “The Jizhou officials worry that they will be stripped of their official robes because of this incident. They have specially sent people to stare at the civilians who have filed an imperial lawsuit. There have been many conflicts accumulated by the people over the years, but the court knows a lot. Its all because of this reason.”
When Xiao Ming heard the words, there was a burst of resentment in his heart. Since he became the throne, he has attached great importance to the management of officials, but now he is increasingly discovering that this country has fallen into the cycle of history. Thinking of this, he becomes more angry.
“Establishing a noble school, huh, it is a dream of a hundred days. I am now trying to blur the distinction between the powerful and the people. If this is the case, wouldn’t all of this be a waste of previous efforts, and how do you say it is also the cabinet’s first assistant? Can’t this matter be solved?” Li said in a solemn voice.
Old Pang Yukun blushed, “The emperor, its just that there are too many dignitaries who support this matter now. There are rumors that some nobles are planning to run private schools. These private schools are said to reduce the pressure on education for the empire, but they are actually prepared for the children of nobles and merchants. , And it is said that some people have contacted outstanding teachers from various universities and promised high salaries.”
After a pause, Pang Yukun said: “The old minister came from a poor family, and he didn’t want to see the distance between the poor family and the powerful, but the empire now has no laws that prohibit private schools.”
Xiao Ming nodded lightly. He understood what Pang Yukun meant. What he wanted was his own decree to ban the establishment of private schools by the people in order to put an end to this bad trend of separating the rich and the poor.
Xiao Ming agrees with Pang Yukuns ideas. He comes from the modern age and understands that the unfair distribution of teaching resources will only accelerate the division of classes. The children of the rich and officials have abundant resources. Using their wealth and power, they took the cake. The biggest piece in the poor family can only be looked up to but not available.
Just as Pang Yukuns experience was the same, the policies promulgated by the court were good, but they were broken in the hands of officials. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. It seems that the officialdom has not changed the philosophy of life through the ages.
“Who are the officials who run private schools?” Xiao Ming’s voice was chilly. He sharpened his swords for more than ten years. Some people have forgotten that his sword can be placed on their necks.
After hesitating for a while, Pang Yukun said: “It’s mainly Wang Chengye, Shangshu, Tang Guogong, Xiao Yu, and it is said that Fei Ge’s brother-in-law participated in it.”
“Hmph, a first-grade member and two relatives of the emperor and relatives are all important figures. In that case, I will use them this time to kill those with higher tails.”
“What does the emperor plan to do?” Pang Yukun was curious.
With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he said: “I have a way to make the ban on private schools go smoothly. You can go back to the cabinet to draw up this decree.”
“Why is this again?” Su Mo’er is now increasingly unable to understand Li Yan’s thoughts.
Li stunned with a mysterious smile, “You will know when the time comes, and let the shadow guard pay attention to Gao Yang, this girl is not a peaceful person.”
“Yes, the emperor.” Pang Yukun breathed a sigh of relief, and he could reprimand the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but he really had no choice but to ask for help from the emperor’s relatives like Tang Guogong.
Sending away Pang Yukun and Xiao Ming called Qian Dafu over and ordered a few words in his ear.
Qian Dafu knew it and left the palace.
In fact, he had also heard some rumors about the conflicts between the aristocratic children and the underprivileged children in the school, but he did not expect it to be serious enough.
If this matter is not dealt with seriously now, the foundation of the empire will be shaken in the future, because the powerful and the rich can do the same. Once the gap between the rich and the poor increases in the future, the problem will only become more prominent.
Therefore, he wanted to use this incident to make big news and justifiably issue a ban on running private schools.
The next day, Qingzhou Senior School opened its doors on time as usual. The children of the nobles and the children of the common people all came to the same school, but it was obvious that the children of the nobles and the children of the common people were sitting in different places in the school. Ignore anyone.
When the class bell rang, the students entered the school together, and a cold voice rang.
“Hey, mud legs, you are sitting in the wrong place!”
With a cigarette in his mouth, Fei Tong squinted at the young man sitting in the east of the school. According to unwritten regulations, the position of the noble children was in the east, and the position of the Hanmen children was in the west.
The children of nobles have always been very sensitive to this rule, and as the son of the noble in this school, Fei Tong is even more taboo.
So when he saw that he was sitting in his place with a poor boy who had never seen him ~ ~, he was naturally very upset.
Although they belonged to the same school, the children of nobles seldom paid attention to these people from common people’s homes. Now that this person dares to violate the rules, he is naturally very angry.
“This is what the teacher assigned me to sit here today. If you have any questions, go to the teacher, and whoever stipulates that only you can sit here.” The young man glanced at Fei Tong lightly, with a proud look.
Feitong couldn’t remember the name of the classmate in this classmate, after all, he was too lazy to remember, but no one in this class dared to talk to him like that.
“Heh.” Fei Tong sneered. He didn’t expect that a mud-legged man would dare to be presumptuous with him. He raised his head and looked at the other noble children. They were looking at him with a look of watching a play.
They have long been unable to tolerate sitting in the same school with the children of these people, and they have long wanted to make trouble, but their status is not enough and they have no courage. They can only count on Fei Tong to take the lead. After all, Fei Tong’s grandfather is the cabinet minister. .
