Chapter 880 Opening the Academy
Lan Ruozhu knows that any advice given by her sister is good.
He has a lot of things he doesn't understand, so he must learn from his sister.
Su Binglan said: "Brother, what do you think, if the imperial court runs a bank, wouldn't the people feel more at ease when they keep their money in the bank?"
Lan Ruozhu said without hesitation: "Naturally, because the bank run by the imperial court represents the credibility of the imperial court and the emperor's credibility."
"Once there is a problem with the bank, then it is equivalent to the emperor deceiving the people, and the emperor's prestige in the hearts of the people will be lost."
"And it is also a monetary system issued by the imperial court."
A good emperor will naturally do things that win the hearts of the people.
The people are like water, and the ruler is like a boat. Water can carry a boat and capsize it.
This is the easiest way to be a king.
Su Binglan said with a smile: "This is an idea that most people will have, so it is also a bank, one is a bank run by a big family, and the other is a bank of the imperial court. Where will everyone save."
Having said this, Lan Ruozhu immediately understood what his sister was saying.
"If I were a commoner, I would naturally deposit the money in the imperial bank, which represents the bank of Chu."
Speaking of this, Lan Ruozhu had a sudden realization.
"So when the common people trust the imperial bank and deposit their silver in the imperial bank, then the entire Chu State's silver will be collected in the imperial bank, so one can imagine how big that amount is."
Moreover, knowing the number and information of the court's banks can also help you understand some of the situation of the people, and it is also helpful for issuing government decrees and policies.
"Furthermore, it is clear who has how much silver the emperor has."
is like a ledger.
Speaking of this, Lan Ruozhu felt excited.
If officials also keep money in the bank, the emperor will know exactly which official has how much money.
Is there any corruption, it is also clear.
It’s just that ordinary people are willing to keep their money in the imperial bank, but will officials feel comfortable keeping their money in the bank?
Maybe not.
Because of the court officials, most of them still have a little bit of greed.
When the water is clear, there are no fish.
As long as it's not too much, the previous emperors turned a blind eye.
After Lan Ruozhu came to power, he completely purged the court.
are all good officials.
Since he is a good official, he naturally dares to deposit his silver in the bank.
The salaries of the imperial court are stored in the bank, and the revenue of the family industry behind it is stored in the bank, which is normal.
Su Binglan said with a smile: "That's it, there are many benefits in this, when it really starts, my brother will know."
"Opening a bank, standardizing the bank, and opening a bank in various places can also increase local employment opportunities, which is also a good thing for the whole country of Chu."
"The economy is stable, the politics is clear and the military is developed, and the country of Chu will be more stable, and the people will no longer have to go through wars, and everyone can live in a peaceful environment."
Lan Ruozhu excitedly slapped his palm on the table.
"Sister, this method is really good."
"How to implement it, does my sister have an idea?"
Actually, Lan Ruozhu had some thoughts in his heart at this time.
But in this regard, he felt that his sister was more experienced than her.
Su Binglan said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, I will write a detailed plan for my brother, and my brother will arrange for someone to do it according to the plan."
"However, it is not an overnight thing to set up a bank, especially in the whole country of Chu. We must plan well and implement it well."
"There is also a need to think about what the bank will look like and how to protect the silver."
This era is by no means the modern era.
In this era, there is no electricity and no computer monitoring, so to protect the safety of the bank, we must think carefully.
Lan Ruozhu said with concentration: "We still have a lot of time to do a lot of things for Chu."
"Just like the school my sister said before, it is also an extremely big thing that needs to be implemented little by little."
Su Binglan thought for a while and said, "Brother, you can set up an academy here in the capital first, hire masters to give lectures, and let the children go to school for free."
"Both male and female classmates are accepted. At the beginning, I will teach everyone to read and learn for two or three years, and then start studying by subject."
"For example, after everyone has studied for three years, they will be divided into skill categories, so that everyone can choose to learn embroidery or martial arts, whether to learn accounting or to take the imperial examination, etc., all of which can be divided into categories."
"At that time, there will be outstanding graduates in the academy, who can be directly recommended to the court, and the court can directly appoint them, and it is not necessary to say that they have to take the imperial examination."
Lan Ruozhu was very excited when he heard this, "Is this the recommended quota for the academy that my sister mentioned earlier."
"Yes, that's it. Every college can have a recommendation quota, which can be directly recommended to the imperial court or recommended to the military. Of course, this quota must be used practically, and the reputation of the college is needed to guarantee it. If there is a problem with this person's recommendation, This academy has been revoked from its recommendation.”
Su Binglan discussed this with her brother before, but it was relatively simple.
At this time, he explained some information in detail.
Lan Ruozhu naturally understood what his sister meant.
Hearing this made him excited.
In this case, there will be people available everywhere in the entire Chu State.
The court does not have to worry about no talent available.
This is really a very good approach.
"By the way, the imperial court can also set up a place to train masters, that is, to find learned people for education and training, so that they can become qualified masters, and ensure that they can do a good job when they are assigned to teach in various colleges. A master who can truly teach and educate people.”
Lan Ruozhu was also excited when he heard this.
This method is good.
Why didn't he think of it before.
"There are also outstanding students from various colleges who can stay in the school to be masters. The masters are uniformly paid by the imperial court, which is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court."
Lan Ruozhu nodded and said, "Well, I'll listen to my sister, but in this case, the imperial court will have to redo several departments."
Su Binglan said: "I will write a detailed plan for these, and my brother can also tell the officials during the court meeting."
Nowadays, among the officials in the court, the elder brother uses good officials.
Tell them this, they should support my brother.
But even if everyone has an opinion, it’s okay, because the power of the entire Chu country is highly unified, and my brother holds all the power.
So even if the state of Chu is reformed, the reform will be implemented smoothly.
"Well, you can discuss it with the officials. The newly appointed officials are from poor families and were also selected from the local area. Tell them this and they should be very excited."
Lan Ruozhu knew that it was not easy for poor students to study.
If you know that the imperial court will open academies in various places for free, so that children can enter and study for free, they will be very excited.
