Listening to Zhao Lang’s words, for a while the crowd of the Plurians were slightly dazed, and it took a while before they returned to their country.
They wanted the scholars to be good, but the scene depicted by Zhao Lang was really a bit frightening.
They really wanted half a million scholars a year!
What kind of a scenario should that be?
You know, even the sons and daughters they have sitting here now, from top to bottom, from old to young, might not add up to that many people.
There’s a difference between a true disciple and a lower-level disciple of the hundred schools!
For example, in the case of the peasant families, the peasants could all be said to be natural disciples, and that would naturally be extremely large in number.
But a true core of disciples is only a few cloths in number!
Further down the line, those outer disciples who are not considered cores, would not exceed ten thousand in number.
That’s half a million a year, that’s too much!
“It’s… Is it too much, will it be bad instead?”
“Will the Great Qin be able to accommodate it?”
This time it was Wang Jian, an old and calm man, who asked.
There was no way he could imagine if there were tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of soldiers’ sons and daughters in the Qin army.
How many men were in the Qin army now?
Looking at the people’s expressions, Zhao Lang revealed a smile, these people worried that there were too many scholars and it was not good to arrange them had actually walked into a misunderstanding.
But he knew that only the more educated the people of the Great Qin were, the more prosperous the whole Great Qin could be!
This was a limitation of the times, and it was not these people who could be blamed.
Of course, it would be an extremely long process!
Even in a previous life, there were still many people in China who could not read or write.
So, there is no rush.
“All of you don’t need to worry about this first, this is the plan afterwards, for now? The students of the Crane Academy.”
“First, let’s make a simple distribution according to the interest and talent of the scholars.”
“Then we will transfer them according to the ratio to ensure that each family can be roughly satisfied.”
If Zhao Lang had thrown out this solution at the beginning, none of the crowd would have agreed.
They would have even had to fight over it!
But with Zhao Lang’s words of half a million scholars in front of them, everyone was now less concerned about this distribution plan in front of them.
“Let it be according to the chief’s words.”
The farming family was the first to respond.
Others nodded their heads as well.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lang then revealed a smile that
“After that, I will come up with some plans that require your cooperation, so I will work hard for you all.”
The initial selection, education, cannot rely solely on the power of the government.
The quantitative base of the agriculturalists, the propaganda of the Confucians, the construction of the Mohists, the safeguards of the healers, the influence of the legalists all of these will be used by Zhao Lang.
And it would not use money from the Great Qin Treasury.
For now, he only needed to select fifty of the most gifted youngsters from each county.
The selection will also be relatively simple and brutal.
After the world is settled, the 36 counties of the Great Qin will have 1,800 youngsters.
It was perfectly sufficient for the hundred schools to share.
The money consumed would not be too much, and it would also lay the foundation for the full roll-out afterwards.
The road is long, just take your time.
With a practical solution in place, the crowd stopped dwelling on it and when the bell rang, everyone went to their classrooms.
This was the time to pick the most gifted, of course.
Zhao Lang also jumped out from the middle of the round table and
“Well, Nu, after that, find two Mozi disciples and change the layout of the proceedings to follow the form of this round table.”
He could not afford to come and drill the table every time there was a meeting.
Naturally, Slave answered yes.
Zhao Lang was about to walk out, but then he felt a slightly sultry gaze.
Turning his head, he found that Ghostly was looking at him sulkily, seeing that Zhao Lang had spotted him.
Ghostbusters again pretended to look as if nothing was wrong and tilted his head to the side.
Zhao Lang almost laughed out loud when he looked at him, but of course, he still had to hold back at this time, and said directly with a few moments of surprise that
“Sir, why are you here? How come I didn’t see you at the table just now?”
He was now also a disciple of the Ghostly Valley.
Hearing Zhao Lang’s words, Ghostly Valley was so angry in his heart that his teeth chattered.
Did you see it or not, am I still not clear?
I just came close to standing in front of you and waving it around!
But in the end, all that could be done was to squeeze out a smile and say that
“It was an oversight on the part of the old man himself just now.”
Zhao Lang gave an oh, and said.
“Next time you catch up early.”
After saying that, he was about to leave again.
This time, Demon Gu Zi really couldn’t help himself, and directly grabbed Zhao Lang with one hand.
“Long’er, you are now also the head of the Zongheng family, how come there is no share of the Zongheng family in this distribution of scholars?”
“It’s not good to favour one over the other!”
Hearing these words, Zhao Lang’s eyes glared and said with a bit of surprise.
“Why did you say that, sir?”
“When my disciples were first initiated, didn’t you emphasize again and again that the precious learning of Ghost Valley and Zongheng should never be passed on to outsiders!”
“And this Crane Academy is all about public teaching, how can this work?”
“Don’t worry, sir, the disciple will definitely not agree to this.”
Zhao Lang’s words directly caused Ghostbusters to hold his breath.
It was too infuriating!
But when it was time to bow his head, he still had to bow his head.
For the sake of the school, said the gnomes, gritting his teeth
“This is sir I am superficial, you still need to be more on top of it, Wave.”
Zhao Lang at this time where will let up, with a few helplessness said that
“As you can see, sir, the current scholars have already been divided up, this is really no way.”
“Alas, this is also my fault, there is not enough money, and originally planned to expand the enrollment.”
“But look at this… we have to pay for food, sleep, training and experiments. And the teachers…”
What a wise man is Ghostly Valley, not waiting for Zhao Lang to finish his sentence, he said through clenched teeth that
“I still have some savings in the Ghost Valley School, I am willing to donate five thousand… Ten thousand taels of gold in money and supplies!”
Zhao Lang’s eyes lit up at hearing this, and he directly revealed a smile, took Ghost Valley’s hand, and said.
“Aiya, what are you talking about, sir?”
“Don’t worry, the latest recruited scholars, let the Zongheng Clan, the Ghost Valley School pick first!”
“By the way, remember to serve the table next time.”
Ten thousand taels of gold was certainly not particularly large, but it was only once.
There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and right now the main thing is to try this out.
It was only then that the ghostly cuckoo nodded heartily and walked out.
Zhao Lang smiled and opened the door to his room, having won 10,000 taels of gold, he was certainly in a good mood.
He was about to go out when a sound came from the side once again.
“Xu Fu of the Yin Yang Clan, pay respects to His Highness, the Prince of Great Qin!”
Hearing these words, the smile on Zhao Lang’s face gradually disappeared and he frowned, turning around to see Xu Gui kneeling on the ground.
There was also a surprised Su with a surprised face.
“Su, you go out first.”
Zhao Lang said blandly.
Su gave Xu Fu a worried look, then obediently walked out.
Only then did Zhao Lang say, coldly
“Is it bad to be Xu Gui?”
After announcing his identity, Uncle Zhao had already told him Xu Gui’s identity long ago.
It was just that the other party had been doing his job quite well for so long.
He didn’t do anything about it.
Xu Fu bent his head at this time and said directly that
“Your Highness, the old slave has a treasure to offer and wants Your Highness to give the Yin Yang Clan a chance!”
