As the saying went,"You can't be poor in education if you're poor in anything!" The First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, had made up his mind to rid Great Qin of the image of a barbarian and illiterate in the hearts of the people.
Xianyang Palace, Qilin Palace.
Wang Jian said," Your Majesty, even though the Great Qin Academy has lowered the entry requirements, it is still unbearable for some people, especially the people from the old Qin Empire.”
Indeed, many of the people of Old Qin had fallen ill from the war and had even become disabled. Their lives were very bitter, but they never complained and were as dedicated as ever to Great Qin!
The Great Qin Academy established by the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, was not like those private schools! Tutoring was so expensive, but they still had to pay some tuition fees. Not to mention how much money they had to earn, they had to at least ensure that the Great Qin Academy was self-sufficient! They couldn't just pay for it from the national treasury. If that was the case, the burden on Great Qin's treasury would be too great!!
As for the old Qin people, especially those who had retired from the army, some of them were already struggling to even maintain their daily lives. How could they afford the tuition fees?! Where could he afford a brush and ink?
That's right, Old Qin had sacrificed far too much for Great Qin! Even a person like Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, was extremely moved!!
Everyone knew that the Great Qin Academy would not allow all of Great Qin's younger generation to enter. After all, some extremely poor families could not even maintain their daily lives. Why would they spend money to send their children to school?!
This was also the reason why Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, only allowed Meng Tian to build three Great Qin academies in each county. Since he wouldn't be able to use them in a short time, he might as well build a little less first and then increase them one after another. Once Great Qin finished recuperating and became even more prosperous, everyone would have the conditions to enter the school.!
However, it was impossible to do that now!! Qin Shihuang, Ying Zheng, did not care about the others who could not enter the school, but the old Qin people could not!!
The people of Old Qin had sacrificed their entire lives for Great Qin, and they had no regrets. However, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng could not pretend that he did not see anything!!
No matter what good things happened to Great Qin, the old Qin people should have a share!!
Meng Tian also said,"Indeed. Your Majesty, many of the Qin people have retired from the army. It is already extremely difficult for them to maintain their self-reliance. They simply do not have extra money to read and write.”
After all, the current Great Qin was different from the 21st century-there was no pension! Pensions! Grants and whatnot! They had nothing!
Even if you lost an arm or a leg on the battlefield and became a disabled person, you would not receive any subsidies or preferential treatment!! Therefore, many of the old Qin people did not have a good life!!
"Your Majesty, there's nothing we can do about it," Li Si said. The Great Qin Academy had to be self-sufficient and could not be completely free.”
Li Si was right. It was impossible for it to be completely free!! He could not increase the burden on the national treasury too much. After all, Great Qin's treasury was not very rich!! I can't afford it!
"But Your Majesty, the old Qin people have sacrificed too much for Great Qin. If the Great Qin Academy doesn't have a place for the old Qin people, wouldn't it be?"
They all understood the meaning behind Meng Yi's unfinished words. The old Qin people had done a lot for Great Qin and were the main reason why Great Qin was where it was today. If they could not even enter the Great Qin Academy, wouldn't that be unfair to the old Qin people?!
" Your Majesty," Meng Tian asked," can we let the old Qin people enter the school for free?"!”
"Your Majesty, you can't!" Li Si retorted. Even though the Old Qin people had indeed done a lot for Great Qin, if they only treated the Old Qin people differently, others would be dissatisfied!”
Li Si was right. After all, even though they had been from different countries, they were all from Great Qin now. Why were the people of Old Qin allowed to enter the school for free?! But we New Qin people have to pay? This wasn't fair!
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li Si is right." However, Old Qin's problem couldn't be ignored. Otherwise, it would hurt the meritorious minister's heart.”
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, looked at Xiao He and asked,""Then what plan does Minister Xiao have?"
Everyone also looked at Xiao He. Xiao He continued,"Your Majesty, I believe that there can be people who can enter the school for free, but it can't just be people from the old Qin Dynasty. Your Majesty, you can use another term.”
Qin Shi Huang asked with some doubt,""Use another word? Minister Xiao, tell me in detail."
Xiao He continued,"Your Majesty, why don't we make it free for the old Qin people to enter the school? Instead, we'll make it free for the next generation of soldiers of Great Qin."”
As soon as Xiao He finished speaking, the others also understood.
That's right! It could even be like this!
That's right! If the Old Qin people were to enroll for free, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among the New Qin people! They might even ostracize the Old Qin people, which was extremely detrimental to Great Qin's future development.
However, if the next generation of Great Qin's soldiers could enter the school for free, there would not be such a problem. After all, everyone knew the dangers of soldiers on the battlefield. It was normal for them to receive some benefits!! Moreover, this welfare policy was targeted at Great Qin, and it was beneficial to all of Great Qin's people!! They would not object.
As for the people of Old Qin, most of them were soldiers who had been to the battlefield. This way, their enrollment problem would be solved!!
Not only that, if such a welfare policy was implemented, there would probably be more people joining the army in the future. This method could be said to be killing two birds with one stone!
Mm, not bad, not bad! It was indeed a good idea!
Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, nodded repeatedly and said,""Good idea! As expected of Minister Xiao!"
"Your Majesty, you flatter me," Xiao He said with a smile.”
"Hahaha, this idea is not bad!”The others also agreed with Xiao He's suggestion.
"I agree," said Ying Zheng. The next generation of Great Qin's soldiers could enter school for free, and the Imperial Court would also provide them with writing materials.”
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone said in unison.
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the soldiers."”
Qin Shihuang waved his hand. After a few more discussions on some details, Qin Shihuang let everyone leave.
