Chapter 188 The terrifying Gongzi Yuan

Xiao He looked around at everyone, then looked at Chunyu Yue with cold eyes and said loudly.

"Everyone, when our Great Qin unified the world, what we seek is not just the unification of territory and borders."

"It should be that the country's strength is growing day by day, and the people's lives are getting better day by day!"

"For the vast majority of people, they simply don't know how to live a good life."

"Because they can't read a single word, they only have two options."

"One is to stay at home, facing the loess and back to the sky, digging for food in the soil for the rest of your life."

"The other way is to join the army like the old Qin people did back then, and then go to the battlefield to gain fame and fortune."

"But we can't let them have only these two options!"

"Therefore, the Daqin Institute of Technology, which was prepared by Gongzi Yuan, will open today!"

"Learning to read, learning skills, even arithmetic, etc., these skills that can really be used in all kinds of industries in the world can all be learned in this academy."

"As long as you are a citizen of the Great Qin and have a clean background, you can enroll."

"Therefore, if they are not stupid and lazy, then even if they can't continue to make a living in the salt industry, they can still find their own way to make a living and do better!"

"In this case, why not earn that little bit of hard-earned money?"

As soon as Xiao He said this, the huge Qilin Palace fell into complete silence.

Everyone looked at Xiao He in astonishment, with only one thought in their minds!
"Damn it, Gongzi Yuan, you're actually playing such a big game?"

The news that Gongzi Yuan was going to set up a college was actually not a strange thing for a group of well-informed officials.

They actually knew the news a long time ago.

Even people like Feng Jie, who were more concerned about Gongzi Yuan, had guessed it early on.

The salt and iron monopoly was actually to provide funds for the college.

But even if you have known the news for a long time, you are still only vague about the matter and have no idea about the specific details.

After all, all these matters are in the hands of some of the people Ying Yuan trusts the most.

It was precisely because of this that when Xiao He announced the news on the spot, all the court officials were stunned at first, and then a chill rose in their hearts.

Although they always say things like "Without agriculture there is no stability, without industry there is no wealth".

But in fact, all of these court officials are "scholars"!
When have they ever taken workers, farmers and businessmen seriously?
However, the number of these people added together is hundreds of times theirs.

What amazing changes will happen to these people if they undergo training in the academy?
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!

"Tsk tsk, boy, this is going to be a big deal!"

"Humph, what do you think? Salt and Iron Monopoly, Imperial Examination, and Academy, you may find it fine if you look at them separately, but what if you connect them together?"

"Right, right, right! When all these things are connected...hiss...this is a big chess game!"

"It's more than just a big chess game! Have you ever thought about it? If things continue to develop like this, then in ten or twenty years..."

"Shh...I won't say any more. I can't say any more!"

"."

Along with the discussions and discoveries of the "smart people", the way the ministers looked at Ying Yuan changed again.

Damn!

I thought this young master was just an idle, intelligent and salty young man. But I never thought that this regent would change his temperament and kill decisively, and then he would use one method after another.

The key point is that everything here seemed like nothing at the time.

But when you look at it afterwards, you will find that there are vague clues hidden in it.

Even some officials who were overthinking had already started to think about it.

This Young Master Yuan opened the academy not only for the people, but he will probably aim at the imperial court in the end!
Feng Jie's heart sank at this moment, and he even felt that he was in an unprecedented danger.

Because the information he received before was more detailed than that of others.

But it was precisely because of the details that he was afraid!
Because, according to the information he received, the academy to be opened should be the Royal Academy.

How come Daqin Institute of Technology suddenly appeared?
Is this being replaced or are two going to be opened at the same time?
If it is a replacement, it would be slightly better.

But if both are opened at the same time, that would be a big problem.

The Royal Academy must have provided formal knowledge instruction and trained officials and scholars.

Then add to that the students from ordinary families in the School of Engineering...

Doesn’t that mean that everyone in the court and among the people are supporters of Gongzi Yuan?
Who can compete with Gongzi Yuan then?
I'm afraid that by then all the officials in the court will either have to cooperate honestly or just struggle to survive under such circumstances.

But while everyone was still stunned and shocked by the news, Xiao He did not forget the main purpose of his standing up.

He looked at Chunyu Yue, who seemed somewhat distracted, and spoke loudly.

"Dr. Chunyu, speaking out against the emperor is indeed what you Confucians like to do, but before you give your advice, can you please clarify the matter first?"

"You accuse Gongzi Yuan of competing with the people for profit, but in fact, Gongzi Yuan is planning for the long term for Qin;"

"You accuse Gongzi Yuan of oppressing the people, but in fact, Gongzi Yuan is thinking about the long-term interests of the people!"

"In ancient times, Shennong taught the people how to plant all kinds of grains, so the ancient people said goodbye to living near water and began the era of slash-and-burn farming."

"And this kind of day is revered by Confucianists, including Dr. Chunyu, as the Great Harmony."

"Now, Gongzi Yuan has opened the Daqin Institute of Technology to educate the people and enable them to master a skill to make a living. Isn't this good governance?"

“It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish!”

"These are all the knowledge in your Confucian doctrine, Doctor Chunyu. You can't even disbelieve in your own Confucianism, right?"

"Or, in order to give advice, you even ignored your own thoughts?"

My goodness, as soon as these words came out, Chunyu Yue’s face turned pale.

Not only him, even Shusun Tong couldn't bear it anymore.

This is just bullshit!
How come Gongzi Yuan, who only opened an academy, is linked to Shennong in ancient mythology?

They also brought up the contents of their Confucianism.

Now, opposing Gongzi Yuan means opposing Confucianism, but what if we don’t oppose it?

I literally watched Chunyu Yue jump out and act like a clown, and then go back in shame.

The key point is, did Gongzi Yuan accomplish what he wanted to do?

So what became of them?
