    "Public expenditure?"

    "Building bridges and paving roads?"

    ¡°Build a public school?¡±

    When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help but look at Liu Jin again.

    "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I think everyone should be very clear about the role of this cement road. When there were no cement roads in Tianjin and Beijing in the past, it was very troublesome to go back and forth, and it took two or three days."

    "But with the cement road, it is very convenient to travel. Two or three hours are enough. Morning and evening, the fish from Tianjin is still fresh when it arrives in Tianjin."

    ¡°If we can have such cement roads connecting all provinces in Daming, it will be extremely beneficial to the circulation of goods and people in Daming.¡±

    "Not to mention anything else, just in case of disasters, it used to take ten days and a half to transport grain from the south to the north. And because the roads were not smooth, the losses on the road were also very large, often one hundred kilograms.  Almost 30% to 40% of the food will be lost on the road."

    "But with cement roads and the most convenient four-wheeled carriages, based on the speed from Tianjin to the capital, a few days is enough to transport grain from the south to the north, and the loss on the road can be reduced to  At the very least, there is no need for even 10% loss.¡±

    "In the future, when the court provides disaster relief, the pressure will be very small, because if a disaster occurs in one place, other places can quickly provide food support."

    Liu Jin looked at everyone and continued to talk about the importance and benefits of building bridges and paving roads.

    If you want to be rich, build roads first.

    In later generations, this is almost a truth that everyone knows. There is no doubt about the importance of roads. Cement has been produced. Naturally, these cement roads will be built on a large scale in Daming.

    "Well said~"

    Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but nod.

    The land of China has always been prone to disasters due to the influence of the subtropical high pressure. Floods in the south and drought in the north, or droughts and floods in the south, occur almost every year. There are rarely good times.  .

    Therefore, disaster relief has become a major event for the courts of all dynasties.

    When it comes to disaster relief, the most important thing is food.

    "The common people can do anything if they don't have enough to eat. As long as they can have enough to eat, everything can be eliminated."

    But food is a big problem. All dynasties have attached great importance to the construction of granaries and the storage of grains. In fact, it was mainly for disaster relief.

    Now Liu Jin has proposed major construction of cement roads in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. This point was brought to the heart of Emperor Hongzhi.

    Every dynasty change almost always started with a famine. The common people who had not enough to eat could no longer survive and revolted, gradually setting off waves of peasant uprisings, which eventually led to the change of dynasties.

    With cement roads, it will be easier to provide disaster relief, and it will be easier for people in the disaster area to escape to other places, and the impact of the famine will be minimized.

    This is very important for stabilizing the Ming Dynasty and stabilizing the throne of the old Zhu family.

    "Well, if the imperial court has money, it can indeed build large-scale cement roads throughout the Ming Dynasty."

    The other ministers nodded after hearing this.

    There are so many benefits to cement roads. In many places, they even organize voluntary construction of cement roads. Those who have money contribute money and those who have the strength contribute.

    However, this kind of cement road connecting various provinces naturally needs to be built by the court. Its expenses and costs will be very huge, and only the court can afford it.

    "I think this is okay. The Ministry of Industry can come up with a plan. Now that the court has money, the people's money must also be used for the people."

    "As Liu Jin said, you can build bridges and roads, build rivers, and build reservoirs. Roads can facilitate everyone's travels. Rivers can prevent rivers from overflowing and destroying farmland. Reservoirs can prevent floods and store water. They are all beneficial to the country.  Good things and major events that are beneficial to the national economy and people¡¯s livelihood.¡±

    "In the past, the imperial court had no money. Even if it wanted to do these things, it was often powerless, and there was no way to benefit all parts of the Ming Dynasty on a large scale."

    "Now that the imperial court has money, it should implement it on a large scale and really do some big things so that the people can feel that this tax is taken from the people and used for the people."

    "In addition, what Liu Jin said about raising salaries for officials, the Ministry of Revenue and the officialsIt doesn't matter if you take the imperial examination. Not everyone wants to be an official. Once you study and have knowledge, you can also work as a bookkeeper or work in management. You can also learn to build bridges and pave roads, learn shipbuilding, ironmaking, etc.  etc.  "

    "These are also very popular now, and at least they are a good way out."

    Liu Jin¡¯s face was filled with smiles.

    Yes, yes, that¡¯s how it should be.

    "The eight-part essay and the imperial examination have already reached a dead end. We must not let more people enter it. This public school will be run according to the schools of later generations.

    "You can't rely on the imperial examination for the best. When the time comes, you can set up some shipbuilding colleges, steel colleges, engineering colleges, etc., and recruit people from these public schools, and then there will be scientific and technological talents for the Ming Dynasty in the future."

    Liu Jin clearly knows that technology is the primary productive force. If Ming Dynasty wants to truly stand firm on the earth, it must master the most advanced technology and even lead the development of science and technology.

    The original education system in Ming Dynasty is obviously not working, so it must be changed. This public school is obviously a good opportunity.

    In the future, people in this private school will continue to read eight-legged essays, take the imperial examination, and become officials if they pass the exam.

    Children in public schools learn more and take exams in various academies. Once they learn well, they master various skills and technologies. With them, there is no need to worry about the development of Ming Dynasty.

    Moreover, Liu Jin believes that as long as a few decades pass, everyone will naturally understand the shortcomings of the Eight-legged essay and the imperial examination. By then, even if Liu Jin does not abolish the imperial examination and the Eight-legged essay, the Ming Dynasty and the public will demand that they be abolished.  This eight-part essay and the imperial examination came from it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
