Chapter 528 Love and Hate in the Indochina Peninsula
Even a proud and pedantic person like Zhao Guodong had to sing "Conquer" to Dong Liang at this time.
On this podium, Dong Liang seemed to have come to his home court, and his thinking suddenly became more agile.
With the support of the home court, these people are no match for Dong Liang. Dong Liang is ready to use all his firepower.
Zhao Liewen didn't say a word during the whole meeting. He knew from the beginning that nothing would happen without him today.
As long as these people do not talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and poetry with Dong Liang, then they are destined to fail and eventually become one of Dong Liang's many followers.
The story of "The Shepherd" told by Dong Liang today also made Zhao Liewen's eyes light up. It seemed to clarify the fundamental reason for the change of dynasties over thousands of years.
"We, the Chinese government, will also become shepherds, but we are not like the previous shepherds who only pursued power and always wanted to get rid of constraints. We Chinese will make it clear to the sheep what rights they have and what they want.
What obligations do they bear? At the same time, all members of the flock also have the power to supervise the shepherd."
Zhao Guodong interrupted Dong Liang again, but his attitude was much more respectful than before.
"Führer, in your story, those sheep know that they have rights. But our people, how do they know this? They have been ruled like this for thousands of years. They are ignorant and follow what others say. No one takes them,
How could they know how to resist?"
Zhao Guodong is right. Since ancient times, spontaneous peasant uprisings have never succeeded, and dynasty changes can only succeed under the leadership of nobles or landlords and gentry.
Of course, Ming Taizu was an exception, but he also relied on the power of Huaixi.
"Mr. Zhao is right or wrong. The people today are indeed uneducated, but they are not stupid. At least they know how to resist when they cannot survive. They are easily incited by people with good intentions, but they are not blindly obedient. If
Unless their lives are in a desperate situation, who can instigate them?"
"What's more, isn't it our responsibility as scholars to educate the people?"
"In Ryukyu, we Chinese have already made all children go to school. I, Dong Liang, have spoken here today. Within five years, even if my escort army reduces military expenditures, all the children on Dongpan Island must be enlightened.
To study, before a primary school in the administrative office is built, the county government is absolutely not allowed to be built. If a child does not have a classroom to study, then officials will never even think of working in the county government."
“All county offices and government offices in various places will be given priority to be transformed into schools.”
Dong Liang once again dropped a bomb in everyone's mind.
Those who are working are either in education or students.
Seeing that Dong Liang attached so much importance to education, everyone was naturally happy.
"With these words from the head of state, the success of our Dongfan Island's education will be just around the corner." Zhang Yuanfang stood up and solemnly bowed his hands to Dong Liang.
In the entire large classroom, the principal, teachers, and students all stood up and saluted together.
Dong Liang also stood up and returned the greeting.
There was harmony at the scene.
"Head of State, Zhao was very rude just now. Please forgive me, Head of State." Even the stubborn Zhao Guodong apologized to Dong Liang in front of everyone.
From ancient times to the present, there has never been a superior person who could value education as much as you, Dong Liang.
Dong Liang knew very well that for a nation to develop, it cannot just be supported by a few knowledgeable people.
If we want to truly rise, we must improve the quality of all people.
In Japan after the Meiji Restoration, although ordinary people's lives were very difficult, they promoted compulsory education.
Just a few decades later, it has become a major destination for Chinese young people to study abroad.
Therefore, no matter how poor you are, you can’t deprive yourself of education, and no matter how miserable you are, you can’t deprive your children of it.
Zhao Guodong hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao has a merciless request."
Dong Liang looked at him and nodded.
"If the head of state does not despise Zhao as a smelly and hard stone, Zhao is willing to follow the head of state and become the Taishi Bo of the Chinese people. Zhao will use his own pen to record every word and deed of the head of state, hoping that the head of state can remember you.
What I said today.”
Everyone looked at Zhao Guodong, some with disgust in their eyes, and others with admiration on their faces.
"What's so difficult about this? If Mr. Zhao is willing to do it, then I will hire him to work in the attendant's room, and he will follow me from now on." Dong Liang said very simply.
"We, the Chinese people, can accept the supervision of the people, and we will naturally accept your supervision. There is no literary prison in our Chinese people, and we will not punish people for their words, as long as you don't slander and slander."
Dong Liang must show a gesture.
This Zhao Guodong seems a little reckless, but his self-recommendation just now was a very good opportunity.
Seeing Dong Liang agreeing like this, everyone looked at Zhao Guodong with envy and jealousy.
This is equivalent to the daily living expenses around the emperor. These are close ministers.
Although such a position is not high-level and does not seem to have much real power, it is a position that can go down in history.
In the future, if someone looks up the history of Dong Liang, his name Zhao Guodong will definitely appear.
No wonder people are jealous.
This Zhao Guozhu is indeed an old man. He looks naive, but he is actually a thoughtful person.
Everyone was deceived by his appearance.
Zhao Guozhu was very accurate in judging people. From the first time Dong Liang answered his question, he had a rough idea of Dong Liang's temperament.
That's why he argued with Dong Liang again and again, completely overshadowing everyone else.
"Haha, Mr. Zhao, if you want to be the Grand Historian, you must be prepared to live in poverty for the rest of your life. The rank of the Secretary of the Head of State is not high."
"The head of state is upright and honorable. If Zhao can have three meals a day, it's enough. Even if there are thousands of mansions, I can have a place to live in." Zhao Guozhu said, cupping his hands.
"Everyone here is a role model for scholars on Dongfan Island. I hope you can remember my words today and read for the well-being of the people and the rise of the Chinese nation."
Study for the well-being of the people, study for the rise of the Chinese nation! This sentence will surely appear on the screen walls of many schools in the future.
"Zhang Xuezheng, I am planning to establish a university based on Fuxue and various academies in Fucheng. It will be called Zhenhua University Hall. The first batch of students in the school will be 1,000 people."
"President Zhang Xuezheng is responsible for this matter, and all the mountain directors will assist. You will discuss the selection of the school site and the recruitment of students. How much money is needed, you will make a budget, and I will come up with it."
Dong Liang actually didn’t get down to business until now.
But he didn't get angry with these people beforehand.
Of course, these people all agree a thousand times in their hearts.
As for the Fuxing Academy, the original number of students was only in double digits, and the academies near Fucheng were even smaller but more sophisticated.
They also want to grow bigger, but they don’t have the money. Many academies are barely able to survive on the support of a few wealthy families, and they also have to accept children from a few wealthy families.
Most of these naughty children from wealthy families are playboys, and they have ruined the atmosphere of the academy.
"The head of state, a thousand people, so many, this may cost a lot of money."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, money is not a problem. Not only does our academy not charge tuition, it also provides free food and accommodation. As for the salary of the teaching staff, it is paid according to the standards of officials."
"However, I have one more request."
"Please speak, head of state." Zhang Yuanfang quickly answered. Don't just make one request now, just a hundred requests will do.
