"Infrastructure? Do you mean anything more advanced? Li Er frowned and asked, Li Er felt that what Zhang Nan said was not easy to achieve, first of all, the first point, just the one that Zhang Nan said in his mouth was to let children go to school for free, and if they learned well, they would be given scholarships, this thing Li Er thought it was almost impossible to do.

"There is a higher level, and my idea is to build a university like a military school, and students will take the exam as an infrastructure academy, and students from all over the country will participate in it, and finally they will be admitted to the university on the basis of merit. I don't study the Four Books and Five Classics in the university, what I learn is how to be an official, how to understand what the people want, so that after ten years, the people of the family in the court will fight against the children of the poor family, and after twenty years, the people of the family will be slowly replaced, although it cannot completely solve the problems of the family, but it can definitely minimize the influence of the family. Zhang Nan said.

In fact, Zhang Nan said so much, he still wanted Li Er to send him out as an official, so that the establishment of the academy that Zhang Nan said could be opened at the same time as the matter of digging coal, and there would be no delay on both sides, and when Zhang Nan's mining company became regular in a year or two, the affairs of the academy would be almost completed, and then let Li Er transfer Zhang Nan back, which was the best plan.

Li Er frowned, his fingers tapped rhythmically on the bookcase in the imperial study, as if he was considering the feasibility of establishing a basic academy and a university that Zhang Nan said, at least reducing the influence of the family in the court, which was still very tempting, although Li Er felt that this academy would cost a lot, but compared with reducing the influence of the family, Li Er was willing to spend this money again.

"The academy you are talking about, how many silver taels do you need?" Li Er asked.

"Well, the minister hasn't thought about it yet, but I don't think the cost is very large." Zhang Nan slammed his mouth and said.

"Why? Do you know how many taels of silver it takes to raise a child from childhood to adulthood, not to mention teaching them knowledge, this paper, ink and pen all need money. Li Erdao.

"The minister has also thought about this, but the method is always more difficult than the difficulty, for example, children, their study money is borne by the academy, then it is very suitable, but if it is a student who can work in the field, then the academy will no longer have the obligation to support you, and the minister will require those students to work and study."

"Work-study?"

"Yes, it's a work-study, there will be some very incomprehensible work in the college, students can sign up to complete me, and they can get a payment after completion, or they can find a job for themselves after completing their coursework, and the minister doesn't believe it, in addition to working in the field, these students can starve to death, and use the money they earn to complete their studies, isn't it also good?" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

"That's a good way to do it." Li Er pinched his chin and said.

"That's for sure, as for the university, there is no rush for this, we can first conduct a few pilot projects to try the effectiveness of this college, if it is good and feasible, we can vigorously promote it to the whole country." Zhang Nan said.

"It's good to have a good method, I'm afraid of encountering the family's obstruction." Li Er sighed.

"In fact, even if the family wants to obstruct, it is also to obstruct the students who come out of the university, because these students will compete with the children of the family who do not learn and have no skills, as for the minister's proposal to establish a academy to teach children in Mengxue, I don't think those people from the family will object, besides, this is a good time to open up the wisdom of the people, the emperor is doing this for the sake of heaven, how dare they oppose it? Besides, if they object, we will stab the family members in the newspaper and force them to comply. Zhang Nan smiled.

Li Er still has the newspaper in his hand, a big killer weapon to control the direction of public opinion, with this thing, even if the family jumps again, it will not be too out of line, otherwise it will be scolded and notorious.

"Well, yes, what do you want to do with this academy's pilot." Li Er asked.

"The minister's meaning is better to wait for the minister to be released as an official, and do it in the area under the minister's management, so that the resistance will be smaller." Zhang Nan timely put forward the idea of being sent abroad as an official.

"I haven't promised you yet, what are you anxious about, according to me, it's better to start a pilot in Chang'an City first and see the effect, anyway, you are also in the Ministry of Heavenly Works now, and you want to manage those Momen people for me, it is better to do it on both sides at the same time, and wait until the academy confirms that it is feasible, and then you can go to other places to build your academy." Li Er thought for a while and said.

When Zhang Nan heard that Li Er agreed, his face immediately turned happy, and he said, "Minister, thank you to the emperor." ”

"Don't worry about Xie Zhen first, I also have my own considerations for putting you outside, you are now sharp in the court, and there are many excerpts of the speech officials to impeach you, all of which have been suppressed by me, so I let you go outside, but I want you to go out first to slow down, and when you make political achievements outside, I will put you back, so that I can block the mouths of those speech officials." Li Er rubbed his temples and said.

Although Zhang Nan is a big celebrity around Li Er, he can eat on both sides of the family and the royal family, but helplessly, his qualifications are still too shallow, and now Zhang Nan's official position has reached the third grade, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even from ancient times to the present, I can't find a few people who have become a member of the third grade in the year of the weak crown.

So Li Er also did this to make Zhang Nan stand more stable in the court, after all, seniority is very important, and Li Er's hand is nothing more than to let Zhang Nan go outside to gild and come back.

"And the impeachment of ministers? The minister didn't do anything. Zhang Nan looked strange.

"Qingquan, I told you, don't think that whoever is good to you is really good, the person who is smiling at you in front of you is a big person behind the stumbling person, you, you are still too young." Li Erdao.

"Do you think you asked Cui Shao to find a few other people to eat, I don't know? I already knew it, but I knew in my heart that you still had a degree, what to do and what not to do, I know that you know very well. Although what Li Er said sounded like a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, Zhang Nan guessed what Li Er meant.

That is, he was tripped by someone in the court, and it was also under the people of the family, and it seems that some of the things he did began to make the people of these families a little unbearable.

However, Zhang Nan is not in a hurry, and after the academy is established, the family will not have to worry.

"By the way, the matter of Momen has been solved, this day the Ministry of Industry should start working, it has been half a year since I came and went, how are you preparing for the recruitment of people in the Ministry of Heaven?" Li Er suddenly remembered and asked.
