Chapter 227： National education (middle)

However, Edel must attach importance to education, then Prime Minister Bretianu cannot bypass it. However, according to his habits, Edel's thoughts cannot be prevented, and more likely to agree with the king's emphasis on education.

In addition to the prime minister, Edel's vision for education reform is to be implemented, and the candidate for the minister of education is also very important. Edel is not very satisfied with the ability of the current Minister of Education Angel, this Angel has been working in an educational institution, which may be due to his old age, and he has always been calm and not irritable. And in recent years, with the substantial increase in education funding, the transcripts are not too outstanding. If the national education plan were handed over to him, it would be hard for Edel to believe it would be completed.

So now it has become a bit urgent to change the Minister of Education, but fortunately, Edel still found a person who satisfies him in the Ministry of Education. I. Rucci Florica, the current Deputy Minister of Education in Romania, is currently Eder's optimistic candidate.

Yi Luqi Florica was born in a small noble family in Buzau. His father, Yi Weit Florica, was originally a farmer. He joined the army during the War of Independence and made contributions, and was later named a baron. His father was changed to his current name only after he was made a nobleman.

Although his father was born as a farmer, he was quite farsighted and sent Yi Luchi Florica and his brother to school at a very young age. The two were also very upbeat, all the way to university.

Among them, I. Rucci Florica is studying at the University of Bucharest, while his brother is studying at the University of Iasi. After reading the book, his brother returned to his hometown and started as a small official for the development of the family.

And Yi Luqi Florica was staying as a teacher because of his good grades. He has served as an assistant professor. The professor has always been the dean. At this time, the goddess of luck took care of him. At that time, the Ministry of Education was planning to introduce some school management talents, and his former teachers were in charge of this matter. I was deeply impressed by Yi Luqi Florica, a former student, so he was recruited to serve in the Ministry of Education. After more than ten years of work, he has been the current deputy minister.

Yi Luqi Florica has always been synonymous with radicalism in the Ministry of Education. He admired the German education system very much and believed that if Romania wants to be strong, it must start with education. Advocate expanding the scope of enrollment and subsidizing students in difficulties. What Edel appreciates most is that he also advocates the use of military and national education in schools, and believes that only this way can make Romania quickly become stronger without external threats. So when Edel needed a new minister, he was the first to think of him.

However, for I Rucci Florica to be a minister, Prime Minister Bretianu’s consent is first required. For this reason, Edel planned to discuss with the Prime Minister Haosheng, so Edel summoned the Prime Minister in the palace.

Eder asked the Prime Minister about his vision for expanding the scope of education in the future. "Your Excellency, what do you think of my thoughts?"

After hearing the king's thoughts on the huge reform of education, Prime Minister Bretianu said in contemplation. "Your Majesty, I think this plan is still feasible, but there is one point that needs to be informed to your Majesty."

Edel told the Prime Minister. "Just talk about it if you have any questions."

After obtaining Edel's approval, Prime Minister Bretianu spoke. "Your Majesty, I have made a preliminary estimate. According to your Majesty's idea, the Ministry of Education needs at least 170 million lei a year to start this idea. However, you need to ask the Minister of Education Angell to know how much it is."

Seeing that the Prime Minister agreed with his idea, he was only worried about funding, and Edel told him his thoughts. "For the high funding, I have a solution."

Hearing that the king had a solution to the funding problem he was worried about. Prime Minister Bretianu said expectantly. "Your Majesty, please speak."

"I intend to mobilize the Romanian people to donate money to support education. The focus is on projects that can win the people's tears and require a lot of social donations."

Hearing the king's unprecedented move, Prime Minister Bretianu was not worthy of comment. Because of this history in Romania, there has never been an educational charity organized by the government. It used to be individuals or small-scale group behaviors, as well-known national institutions have not yet existed in Romania.

Seeing that the Prime Minister was a bit uncomprehending, Edel decided to give a blockbuster. "If this educational charity is established, the royal family will take the lead in donating money."

In order to emphasize his tone, Edel gave birth to a finger and said. "The royal family can donate one billion lei to support this institution, and it will also appeal to all sectors of society to actively donate to help those poor students."

In addition, in order to let the world know the attitude of the Romanian royal family to education, Edel expressed another idea of ​​his own. "At the same time, the royal family will also build a comprehensive university, which can also reduce the cost of difficult students."

Prime Minister Bretianu was surprised by Edel's large sums of money. The money invested by the royal family at one time was enough for two-thirds of the first year's expenses. In particular, the initial construction of a comprehensive university is not small at all, and various construction costs can only be considered a small part of it The bulk is the purchase of various experimental equipment. Therefore, until later generations, the cost of science is much higher than that of liberal arts.

Don’t you see that the various universities run by the Republic of China are basically liberal arts, which can be done by tens of thousands of dollars. If they were asked to run a comprehensive university, they would be able to run it without tens of millions.

In Edel's mind, this university will become a world-renowned university and a benchmark for Romanian education in the future. When others think of Romanian universities, they are the first to think of it, so this university Edel spares no expense. You need good equipment and well-known scholars and scientists.

Fortunately, the current war has made it much easier for Edel to recruit scholars and scientists. Every country has so many high-end intellectuals who are tired of war. Edel’s current target is these people. After the end of the First World War, then Scientists in Germany and Austria-Hungary who are struggling in life will certainly not refuse Edel's call. After all, scientists also have to eat and live.

Regardless of the fact that Edel invested hundreds of millions of lei in the royal family at one time, these will not have much impact on the royal industry. To know that the Romanian royal family has a lot of assets now, even Edel himself is not sure, that is, last month when the palace administrator Viscount Adli counted the total assets of the royal family, Edel knew the specific figures.
