I am Da Song

Chapter 216 The Official School of Song Dynasty

The financial allocation of 4000 million yuan for education has touched the hearts of countless scholar-bureaucrats in the world.

These people feel good about themselves, and think that the imperial court's promotion of education and the establishment of schools cannot do without the help of local celebrities and "learned people" like them.

As everyone knows, Zhao Huan has already dug their graves, and is waiting to sweep them into the dust of history in the future.

After Liang Hongyu read the note handed to her by the female officer, Zhao Huan said: "The 4000 million yuan of finance will probably be divided into three parts. You don’t need to worry about this part.”

"But the other two parts are closely related to Qing. The first part is to build a large number of schools and school buildings, and the second part is to provide food and accommodation for school professors and students."

Zhao Huan said: "According to the economic law promulgated by the imperial court, the first batch of school buildings to be opened will not be lower than the number of Anjifang in the country, that is, all cities with more than [-] households must establish official schools."

Anjifang is the nursing home for the elderly in Song Dynasty.

This is the content of the "Anji Law" promulgated by Zhao Huan's cheap father Song Huizong during the four years of Daguan (1110): Anjifang must be set up in every city with more than a thousand households in the country. Those who are helpless can be sent to Anji Fang for treatment.

In addition to Anjifang, "Anlaofang", "Anhuaifang" and "Anjiyuan" are all nursing homes for the "old and homeless".

To sum up, the poor welfare system established by the Song Dynasty is definitely the most developed in the Central Plains. Not only did it surpass the previous Han and Tang Dynasties, even the later Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties failed to catch up with the welfare level of the Song Dynasty.

In a word, Da Song is rich!
Only one bill of the Anji Law costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, and the imperial court allocates funds for the local repayment.

Zhao Huan wants to vigorously develop education, so naturally he can't lag behind the situation in the previous dynasty, and the number of government schools must exceed Anjifang.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend millions of dollars in finance, and the imperial court paid for the tuition fees of the students.

This point is simply crazy in the eyes of other dynasties. How much money will it cost to pay for the tuition, board and lodging of students across the country?
However, in the Song Dynasty, it was a consistent tradition. From the beginning of Renzong to encourage the establishment of schools in various prefectures and counties, to the Huizong period, the number of students in the prefectures and counties where the government paid for board and lodging in the Song Dynasty reached 6 to [-].

Not to mention that this kind of feat has never been seen before or since, in today's world, it is absolutely unparalleled.

This is why the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was very strong, and the scholar-bureaucrats could not be hardened.Song Huizong had [-] to [-] students, and he was not afraid of the resignation of scholar-bureaucrats.For this reason, he directly abolished the imperial examinations, and officials all over the world had to be selected from schools.It is to train students to be their confidantes to replace scholar-bureaucrats.

The performance of the students did not disappoint Da Song's kindness and care.

During the Jingkang disaster, the students of the imperial court continued to serve the country generously, their loyalty shined day and night, and they were majestic.Their performance left the scholar-officials to nowhere.It can be described as the backbone of the nation and the hope of the country.

After introducing the situation, Zhao Huan asked: "Every school established here must be equipped with professors. How is the situation of the female professors that Qing cultivated in Nanjing Royal Girls' School?"

Nanjing Royal Women's College is a women's normal school established by Zhao Huan last year with the support of the internal treasury. These people will go to various schools to preach and teach in the future.It can be said that if the establishment is successful, most of the students in the first batch of schools will be regarded as Zhao Huan's disciples of the emperor.

These people ate the royal meals, were educated by the royal female professors, and received countless favors from the Zhao and Song royal families. In the future, no matter whether it is conspiracy or rebellion, they will be charged with deceiving their teachers and destroying their ancestors.

Just imagine, how many people dare to poison the teacher in reality, killing all the teachers?

With this relationship, at least the stable rule of the Song royal family can add a layer of reliable guarantee.

In any case, the existence of the Zhao Song royal family is conducive to the development of education and to the students of the world.

Liang Hongyu is talented and intelligent, and she is very aware of the important role of Nanjing Royal Women's College in today's world. She immediately said: "I want to tell you, the Nanjing Royal Women's College has started construction since last year, and teaching will start in September of the second half of the year."

"The main trainees are official prostitutes from Jingji Road, Huainan Road, and Jiangnan Road, and more than [-] people were transferred to Nanjing by the governments of various places."

"There are also more than [-] women who were plundered by the rebels during the Nanjing Rebellion. Excluding those who returned home and went to their relatives."

"Now Nanjing Royal Women's College has a total of more than [-] women."

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "There are quite a few students. Can so many students be educated properly? Are there enough professors?"

Liang Hongyu replied: "The concubine is afraid of disappointing the trust of the government, so I specially hired Lay Yi An to offer wine to the Nanjing Royal Women's College. The concubine is responsible for the administration, routine and service of the college, and Lay Yi is responsible for educating the students. Concubine Please ask Layman Yi An to introduce the academic affairs of the academy to the officials."

Zhao Huan nodded slightly, and looked at Lay Yi An who was sitting next to Liang Hongyu with a smile.

Layman Yi'an is Li Qingzhao, a well-known talented woman through the ages in the Song Dynasty. Her poems are too many. Even if the future generations slipped through the nine-year compulsory education, they must have heard of this poetess.

The most famous song is of course: "Being a hero in life, and a hero in death. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong."

However, this poem was written by him to satirize his husband, Zhao Mingcheng, who was afraid of the Jin army, stopped guarding Jiangning, and fled alone from the city.

At this moment, Jin Jun hadn't even crossed the Yellow River, and was driven back to Yanyun by Song Jun. Li Qingzhao's famous poem through the ages probably had no chance to come out.

The sweet love between her and Zhao Mingcheng can last forever.

This talented woman who has been nourished by love for many years is now 45 years old, but her complexion is rosy and her charm still exists. She looks like a young woman in her 30s.

This is mainly due to the harmony between her and her husband, who have enjoyed more than ten years of boudoir happiness.

Traveling to the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan also heard the name of Layman Yi'an several times.

The main reason is that this woman is really too fierce, she looks more like a time traveler than Zhao Huan.

For example, although Zhao Huan has traveled through time, he has always kept his duty and kept quiet. Except for being a little harsh on the scholar-bureaucrats, all other aspects perfectly conform to the inherent cognitive image given by the Great Song Emperor.

But Li Qingzhao is different, the time traveler in female novels is not as bold, aggressive and... lustful as her.

I don't know which ghost in later generations classifies her as a representative of the graceful school of poets.

As far as the things she did and the poems she wrote, Li Bai couldn't do it as boldly and unrestrainedly as she did.

It was also in the Song Dynasty that Zhao Huan heard about this layman Yi'an several times, and gradually learned about a strange woman in the Song Dynasty who was completely different from the impressions of later generations.

Who said that a talented woman through the ages must be gentle and graceful?
