No matter who it is, I can see the temptation of the Tokugawa family at this moment. And the Tokugawa family's heart is fixed, which means that this matter can be implemented, at least at the central level of the shogunate. In the entire Muge, there is no old Zhong who acts in front of the general for the time being. That is not what the general says.

In fact, Chuemon said that the "Education Imperial Order" is not only to influence the thinking of elementary school students, but also to vote for the Tokugawa family's favor.

As a leader, or the biggest kind of leader, do you think the Tokugawa family wants to leave some ink in the history of the Qing Dynasty?

Definitely want to!

Money, power, beauty, the things that ordinary people pursue, the Tokugawa family must already have them. As long as he wants, these things can be placed in front of him anytime, anywhere. He doesn't care about waking up and ruling the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties.

So what does he need? It is nothing more than a name for the history. It's impossible to think about the stigma for thousands of years, even if it is a faint, it may be counted on the historian not to write so badly about himself. Otherwise, how could there have been the compilation of murder historians, and the large-scale revision and deletion of daily notes and records.

No matter which feudal ruler he is, he probably wants to be ashamed!

Since you want face, and you want to get face quickly, things have to be done in the direction of quick success. In later generations, those masters especially like to engage in image projects, just for this. To build an image project in three to five years can not only be regarded as a political achievement, but also can promote one's own official voice.

Or just go to those big events. Those who have the ability will undertake world-class events, and those who are not capable will undertake national-level events. If it really doesn't work, just organize some category fairs, local exhibitions, etc., in short, you have to make a name for yourself.

If the Tokugawa family knows there is such a thing as the World Expo, you can see if he is interested in holding one in Edo.

It is definitely too late to build any image project now. It is possible to rebuild the modernized Edo Castle, which is barely a feat, and it will be a part of the history of the Qing Dynasty in the future. But this thing was only reconstructed after the big earthquake. After all, the cause is not beautiful, and it is not suitable for publicity.

It is different if you can run a primary school and issue the "Educational Decree".

It's very simple. Of course, it only caused a lot of discussion in the first year, but it didn't form much momentum. Wait until the second year and the third year, after all primary school students will recite the "Education Imperial Order"?

At that time, in the early morning of Edo, in addition to the military anthem of "Shogun, General Yumae" played in the military camp. The sound of all the elementary school students reciting the imperial order was heard in the town elementary schools, large and small. How wonderful that scene is, at least for Tokugawa Kasada, it must be wonderful.

He created the first four-year compulsory education in Japanese history, and at the same time, free education and free lunch, which will be greatly remembered in the history of youth.

Such a quick way to leave a name in history is most suitable for the Tokugawa family who does not have enough time. Everyone, including the Tokugawa family, knew that he was not the kind of person with a long life. What he lacked was time.

He may not see Japan evolving from an agricultural country to an industrial country. He may also not see the 100,000 new troops of the shogunate, the grand scene of the whole world. It's even possible that he can't even see Shi Wan's adulthood.

He can only see the primary school that will be done this year and completed next year!

The fact is that, it is so simple, it directly hit the most itchy place in his heart.

"If 400,000 yuan is enough to set up a primary school in Tianling, if it is not enough, you can add more as appropriate!" The Tokugawa family's interest was picked up, and he is quite happy today.

"400,000 yuan is enough to set up a primary school. It's just that every year after that, additional funds must be set up to finance the running of the school. This matter needs to be discussed again." Chuemon is sure that the Tokugawa family will agree. The subsequent education funding has been finalized.

After the Sino-Japanese War, the Meiji government used 10 million yen in indemnity to set up an education fund and put it into education. Thanks to this, primary education in Japan has been expanded from four years to six years. And more than 80 percent of girls are also able to enter primary school.

For a time, the number of elementary schools in Japan increased to 54,800. Of course, the main ones are primary schools and secondary schools, there are only 200 in total, and there are only a few universities. The bulk of this money still falls on the primary school.

Thinking about it this way, if it is just the establishment of a primary school in Tianling, in addition to the initial payment of 400,000 taels of gold, the annual fixed expenses in the future may be in the hundreds of thousands. As for middle schools and universities, middle schools can charge a fee, and only a very small number of top students can study for free.

University? There is only one university now, and Edo University does not enroll ordinary students. They were all the imperial family exams, or the samurai selected by the shogunate and the vassals. The threshold is not low, and more than half of them will continue to study abroad.

When elementary school students read it, it will be more than ten years later, so let's consider whether it is a university or not.

Going back to the elementary school funds, Zhongyouemon means that it will be allocated directly from the customs. The customs tariff balance is increasing every year. Next year, a special fund of more than ten thousand yuan should be allocated as education funds. There should be no problem.

Although there are many people staring at this money, after all, the part of the growth is still unknown, and no one is fighting for it for the time being. If it is really lacking, it will be paid from the profits of Ashio Copper Mountain.

Due to the large-scale mining of Ashio Copper Mountain, problems such as pollution of water sources and excessive heavy metals in nearby farmland began to occur~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition to gradually buying the land of nearby farmers, and at the same time attracting ordinary people as miners, they have another livelihood. .

In order to ensure that Ashio Copper Mountain will not cause huge controversy in the future, we should do some good things to donate to school now, so as to balance the infamy in the future.

After all, it is impossible to mine something like copper mine to be completely pollution-free. At least with the current technical means, it is impossible. Since it will definitely harm the people nearby, it is better to prepare as soon as possible.

Anyway, Chuemon has ordered Keisuke Otorori to absorb all the people nearby that can be absorbed into the mine. At present, there are tens of thousands of households and 50,000 to 60,000 people living in the town near Ashio Copper Mountain. It all revolves around copper mines and refineries, so no major public grievances have erupted for the time being.

After solving the money problem, what remains is the food problem for the free lunch. For this rice, Chuemon thinks that it can be supported by the grains from the official warehouses under the Edo Castle.

There is one thing to say, as long as it can support the food to go out, the resistance will be very small. The officials in charge of these official warehouses for saving the barren rice wish that the shogunate had to pay for rice grains every day.

If you have expenses, you have the opportunity to make an account.
