Chapter 15 Schooling [1]
I don't know when it started. Whether it's Boss Ma himself or the people under his command, they all feel that there is an obvious shortage of manpower. It's not that there are not enough people, but to be precise, there is not enough talent.
If the selection of officials depends entirely on recommendation and after a long assessment period, it is really difficult to keep up with the expanding territory in the short term. The size of the region has exceeded the imagination of the existing citizens, several times the area of the country where anyone used to be, and the population is tens of millions. Such strength is already the first-class. Country. Although there is still a little gap compared with superpowers. With the 150 million of the Slavic population and the 300 million of the Roma, it's a big deal.
However, in the eyes of the Normans, they seem to have always been in the active position, and it is very satisfying to be able to do so. The only person who is not satisfied in his heart may be Tiger House, an asshole.
But in the king's heart, the problem of thinking has completely changed from a market gangster to the identity of a king. He holds a scepter and a golden ball, and wears a crown on his head. Sometimes, he can't help himself.
"Hands and hands! How can there be so many places that need manpower?! Damn, haven't you just selected 2,000 people for the transition? I even took half of the guys who don't understand internal affairs from the foreign minister's hands. Don't they know that all I need now is a quiet rest?
The horse boss who paced and roared back and forth in the hall made people shudder, and behind him stood Princess Ruth Feng and Princess Rogiell. In the face of this state, His Majesty King Tiger House, obviously, it is not a good time to interrupt.
Of course, there is a woman who can calm down this ice tiger, and that is Her Majesty Queen Daphne.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?"
With a soft question, Tiger House was quiet, and then Boss Ma turned his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I may bother you, but I need a rest. Let me think about it. I'll reply in two days at most. I'm a little tired after the war.
Even if it is made by a machine, it will be tired.
After a war, there is still a lot of rest and recuperation mobilization work. He needs to control the soldiers' commendation orders, promotion orders, soldiers' defense changes, and the digestion and absorption of the occupied area.
As the lord of a country, it may not be a good thing, but since you have taken this road, you have to continue to go on, otherwise, no one will make him feel better.
To continue your present, all you have to do is to grit your teeth and stick to it. Even if you are crushed in the end, the world will definitely remember you, won't it?
"It doesn't matter, Your Majesty. I know you have a headache, but the number of officials is far from enough. Our whole registered officials are less than 4,500. This data is very low and the proportion is too low. We need to control a population of nearly 30 million, and there are only 4,500 officials in charge. This amount of labor and workload, even the most diligent officials, will be unseverable. We need further selection of officials.
Catherine was also surprised by the expansion speed of Tiger House. At this time, it was not the northern region six years ago. The core of the whole north was completely controlled by him, and the lifeline of the whole northern route was in his mind. As long as Tiger House is willing, he can even land millions of people.
Of course, that's because of the war between races, but now, it may not be so troublesome. Because Tiger House is not allowed to have other racial titles. There is only one name, that is, the Norman.
Such benefits are obvious. Those who do not want to give up their names go to see the gods they believe in, and the rest are in collusion with him and begin to rule this vast land.
"In fact, even officers are not enough. The army in my hand is expanding at the same speed, and I need to get a large number of talents as soon as possible. Damn, but I can't think of a good way for a while. Those who graduated and those who didn't graduate from Portsmouth College are not enough. There are too many people I want.
Boss Ma scratched his hair and was a little annoyed. Daphne smiled and said, "Honey, in this case, why don't you build more schools?"
Huh?!
Boss Ma and Catherine were stunned and suddenly realized that their authorities were fascinated and did not think of such a solution for a while. When the war ended, they found that there were not enough talents. Before victory, they may not have felt this, but at this time, such a large area of land needed to go. During the governance, I found that there were not enough talents at all.
And now, Daphne obviously said a very good, even the only solution.
Yes, why not build a school?
Boss Ma patted his head, laughed, then picked up Daphne, kissed her face fiercely, and said loudly, "Hahaha, thank you, thank you, honey, thank you so much. That's a great idea. Sure enough, I didn't notice the essence of the problem. Yes, that's right. It's about building a school. Moreover, not only one, but dozens, hundreds, not only in the central province, but also in the new occupied areas, to be built!"
Boss Ma suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart. He thought of an extremely convenient brainwashing method. Obviously, he began to inculcate an idea from an early age. As long as those children are allowed to enter school for free and then study for a few years, they will soon form an idea he wants. At that time, they will forget their identity and truly integrate into this country, forming a force of the Normans. Finally, the whole country is unbreakable!
"Hahahaha, I'm really a genius!" Mr. Ma roared, and then immediately said to Catherine, "Call the king's cabinet meeting immediately and let all the ministers discuss it. I have something important to do!"
In fact, the newly disbanded meeting made the ministers also anxious. At this time, when the king's cabinet meeting is held again, I'm afraid that many people will slap the table and scold their mother. But now, anyway, it is an extraordinary period. If you want to pass on a family background to future generations, everyone has to work hard.
The soldiers are eager to continue to conquer and fight, while politicians are working hard to stabilize their power and at the same time to attack a higher level.
More than half an hour later, the ministers gathered again in the council chamber of the kingdom. The king was in a high position, and the important ministers went down in turn, stretching for dozens of meters.
Hundreds of people are making noise, but when they arrive at the hall, they are meticulous and quiet. After all, at this time, it is not a good thing if the neurotic King is lively.
And Boss Ma was very interested. Before the meeting, he had discussed with several old guys. Everyone was very interested in Tiger House's idea. At the same time, he was also thinking about the feasibility in his heart. Suddenly, he felt that it was really a good strategy, which could not only solve the problem of the occupied area for a long time, but also It can also solve the problem of talent shortage. After decades, between two people and different races, who knows whose past? Yes, it's just the glory of the Normans.
Thinking of this, even the old man Saxon was excited. As for Gang Cole, he looked moved and wanted to know the extent to which such a strategy would affect.
Only Boss Ma himself knows very well that as long as the operation is perfect, he will soon see the effect after the pain of the early stage. At that time, under the strong national strength, you can definitely ask how big the palace of the Roman Empire is.
The Supreme Council of the Kingdom of Norman, the Chamber of the King's Cabinet, here covers all the powers of the whole huge kingdom. After nearly six years of turmoil, the central hinterland has become peaceful. Although it has been threatened by the northern landing of the anti-Norman League this time, it is still safe in general. Nothing.
Stability is the foundation of gradual prosperity.
Including the central province, the number of senior officials are all here.
The external governor is not included.
"Gentlemen, I think we have reached another new juncture. When our army expands and fights on the front line and wins, we don't have enough strength to maintain the land, which is more or less a kind of torture. Moreover, those speculators will also see this opportunity and insert a needle at every opportunity.
The opening remarks are so simple but so deterrent. Anyway, things are always moving in a good direction.
At this time, no one can say anything.
"Your Majesty."
There are people who are out loud. This person, with some qualifications and background, is called Archimed. He is a scholar. He was appointed as the Minister of Education and is in charge of the education construction of the main body of the central province. After all the previous church schools were compiled, it was changed into a very simple society. However, because a large number of farmers live in it It is scattered, so many people are not willing to come to the society to study.
"Please say it, Sir Archimed." As a king, he raised his hand slightly and said in a calm tone. At least, Tiger House at this time had a sense of demeanor, rather than the recklessness of the upstarts. What is the most indispensable thing in the world is so simple. If you want to persevere, it is the real difficulty. The test of Tiger House is completely a kind of perseverance in personality, but he can stick to it.
"I said a year ago that what we need is a large number of talents who can be used and can impart knowledge, but many people are not willing to be a meaningless teacher because the salary is too low and the status in this country is not very high."
Archimed said slowly, then raised his head and continued respectfully, "I know that your majesty advocates force and conquers with force, but, your majesty, please don't forget which is simpler to rule a group of fierce beasts and a group of stable sheep. A difficulty must be judged by your supreme wisdom at once.
After a pause, it seemed that after Tiger House finished thinking, the old scholar continued to say, "We, and our predecessors in the past, have thought about such a problem. When we are rich, we can pursue the boredom or fun of philosophy, literature and even history without difficulty, but in When we are in trouble and poor, we can only think about how to fill our stomachs. Yes, I had this kind of distress four years ago.
As soon as the words came out, everyone laughed and smiled. After all, at that time, the Kingdom of Estonia obviously collapsed, and the rest was just that the whole country fell under the control of Tiger House. Of course, this control was still very popular.
"You continue." King Tiger House raised his hand and said.
Archimed stroked the white beard, then saluted his colleagues left and right, and then said loudly, "I vaguely guessed that Your Majesty needed a large number of talents to fill such a gap. I also know that at that time, Your Majesty did not need to be too rich, and he was a lazy scholar, that kind of person, right For the country, it is a burden and torture for the nation, which is why farmers look down on scholars.
Then Archimed glanced at Boss Ma and then said, "Farmer and scholars, there are no opposing class among them, but the degree and way of labor has caused the incomprehension and antagonism of both sides. Therefore, scholars have become synonymous with useless incompetence. Sometimes, I often doubt In addition to some knowledge, and just some knowledge, put aside this, what else can I do? I can't do anything. So, my majesty, is I a person like this, and such an old man, a waste?
"Of course not! Your knowledge can make everyone understand the truth, master the rules, abide by the rules and the law. This is very useful. If you are a capable person, how can you be a waste?
Tiger House said loudly.
Archimed nodded and then continued, "I know that it is no problem for a person to teach a group of people, one hundred, two hundred or even one thousand, but how can a person teach 2,000 people, 10,000 or even 100,000 people, millions? Therefore, there must be a large number of scholars and teachers to teach. New recruits need the guidance of veterans, new officials need the guidance of their predecessors, and young schoolchildren need to be taught by older scholars.
"Your Majesty, if one day all schoolchildren begin to learn within the scope of education we have set, then year after year, no matter what his parents, his people and what he inculcates, he will always compare with the people around him. When he finds that most people are different from their parents. At that time, he will also choose to abandon his parents' teachings and devote himself to the embrace of the whole public. So, Your Majesty, when you take down a large territory, those who have resisted fiercely may be afraid of your force, your majesty, your iron-blooded army, but a generation, two generations, or even ten generations have passed? The number of people who pursue resistance will not decrease, but will increase. Therefore, only when the knowledge and ethics we need are instilled in their minds, will they obey our will and move forward according to our system. The road will go longer and longer.
After Archimed said, he made Boss Ma tremble all over and shouted in his heart: This old man is simply a genius. If I have mastered this view and method because of time travel, then if this old guy is put into the Rom Empire as a senior official, he may be big. Let it shine, my God, this old guy is actually in my hands.
Not just Boss Ma, everyone trembled all over, and the chirping voice sounded. This shocking speech made people deeply feel the profound knowledge of this old scholar and the wisdom of the ruler. This wisdom, if Tiger House makes good use of it, will be extremely powerful. The energy comes.
Thinking that this old man was just a member of the historian of the Kingdom of Estonia, he did not expect to be appointed as Minister of Education during the reign of King Tagus I, although in fact, in history, education has never been promoted to a country with a high level of military defense and even people's livelihood.
But in any case, it seems that everyone can find the strength of this old scholar. This view, this idea beyond this era, is definitely the magic weapon of the ruler.
"Akimied, you are indeed the most profound scholar in the Norman Kingdom! In fact, that's what I mean." Boss Ma said loudly and then shouted, "Gentlemen, what Archimeds said is exactly what I want, so I need to start many schools, and any scholar can conduct an official assessment and serve in the education system, because there will be countless schools in the future, and everyone may be able to become Headmaster. This is a functional official position of a country, and its status will boost the status of scholars in society. At the same time, it can encourage farmers and businessmen to send their children to school. At the same time, I will let the children enter the enlightenment school for free, and I will not charge until they have the ability to study more deeply.
Boss Ma seemed to be amazing. He stood up, walked slowly with his tall and majestic body, and then shouted, "In the Lithuanian region, the Fieldland region, and the new occupied area, more than a thousand enlightenment schools will be built to let those young children enter this school. I Whether it's cheating, robbery, coercion or inducement, let them accept our education system and our artificial brainwashing. One day, when they grow up, they will forget the imprint on their bodies, just know that they are a member of the Normans! Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right!"
"I think this is a very correct decision!"
"Decisive, Your Majesty, we can recruit personnel. If necessary, we can temporarily establish temporary positions and hire some educated people who are not necessarily scholars."
Everyone spoke one after another, and Boss Ma smiled and was clear.
