Chapter 418

The first test of the princesses was better than Li Wei expected, and even the youngest Shu Jia also gave Li Wei a satisfactory answer.

"It seems that the initial results are good, better than I expected. It's just that you can teach more about astronomy, geography, history, arithmetic, medical classics and even common sense of life. "

Zhan Yunbai listens to the Empress Dowager's words. The princesses in Xindao are just trying to read. Are they really going to learn something?

"Tell the Empress Dowager that the Minister of medical science and pharmacology is not good, and I'm afraid I can't teach him."

"You don't have to teach me. Let the envoys of Tai hospital come to see me. I'll assign them. The ministers of the Imperial Palace and those who are most able to make calculations will be invited to me."

The behavior of the Empress Dowager is somewhat incomprehensible, but there is no doubt that the Empress Dowager really hopes that the princesses can learn something.

Li Wei's meaning is very clear. She wants the princess to learn some basic knowledge, and then focus on some subjects according to her own interests and hobbies. She does not require them to be proficient in all fields.

Before promoting women's schools, Li Wei felt that the first thing to do was to improve basic medical care and improve the social status of doctors, so that doctors were no longer a cheap profession.

To this end, she specially called several cabinet ministers to discuss business in the South study.

This is the first time that Li Wei summoned all the cabinet members. Not only Liao Qi, but also Du Yu and Zheng Guangming could not figure out what the Empress Dowager was going to do.

Several of them have gone one after another. Zhao Qian is busy dealing with the mess of the Ministry of housing these days. He doesn't know that Xiaoli Wei is going to call a group of old ministers to discuss political affairs.

When the old ministers arrived at the South study, the study set up a ink screen. Behind the screen, there was a nanmu chair filled with lacquer and carved flowers. Li Wei sat on the chair with LAN Hui standing in front of him. Outside the screen is the chief eunuch Qin of Chongqing palace.

When the ministers came into the room, they bowed down to Li Weishi. Before they could kneel down, they heard LAN Hui behind the screen saying, "the Empress Dowager is not allowed to kneel. All ministers please rise."

Immediately outside the screen, Qin seemed to say, "all ministers, please take your seats."

At present, there are six chairs, each with a few in front of which are filled with sweet white glazed tea bowls. Blue and white porcelain plates are stacked with fresh fruits.

Judging from the situation, there is a long discussion.

Li Wei said behind the screen, "please have a seat."

Du Yu is now the chief assistant, and other ministers in the cabinet follow him. That Du Yu then side body toward inside respectfully say: "do not know empress dowager convenes minister to have what important matter?"

Li Wei said: "it's really important, otherwise I won't bother you."

At present, these officials are all Li Wei's parents and grandparents in terms of age. Li Wei has experienced a lot of big scenes, but he has never been timid.

"At the beginning of the founding of the state Dynasty, it attached great importance to agriculture and Commerce and vigorously developed production. The days were tolerable, but in recent years of continuous wars, the national strength was wasted, and the National Treasury was gradually in deficit. The Regent is now thoroughly examining the old accounts of the state treasury and has found many drawbacks. Therefore, I have discussed with the Regent, and intend to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. I will take the lead in reducing the annual amount of silver from 1000 taels to 401 years. The Regent is also willing to take only 400 taels of salary silver. "

"The Empress Dowager is virtuous and virtuous, but this is the rule set by the ancestors. If the rules are broken, I'm afraid it will not be good."

"The rules are also set by people. Now that there is no money in the Treasury, how can we allow us to spend money recklessly? These are all found from the common people, and they are not practical. All the ministers are also those who receive the salary of the imperial court. If they are willing to reduce their salaries by half, they have also made great contributions to this country. "

As soon as this was said, the faces of several ministers changed in an instant. Did the Empress Dowager summon them to reduce their salaries? But the Empress Dowager and Regent have their heads. Do they have two minds?

Nadu Shoufu first expressed his position: "ministers are willing to follow the steps of the Empress Dowager and Regent, and voluntarily cut salaries."

Li Wei listened to a busy smile and said: "the first auxiliary adult really knows the general, so I have nothing to worry about."

Liao Qi, regardless of whether it is proper or not, got up first and said respectfully: "there is nothing to say about reducing salary and serving the country and the people. But the salary saved is limited. Where does the Empress Dowager plan to spend it? "

The following is the theme of Li Wei today.

"Mr. Liao, this is a good question. Please take a seat. Please listen to me Li Wei is used to being a broadcast host. She has a good command of tone and speed. She can't even hear any emotional changes from her words.

"The amount of money saved is limited, but it is also a large amount of expenditure in a year. I intend to use it to build up a health care department to provide ordinary people with a good medical condition, so that they can have a place to see a doctor and can afford to see a doctor. Then, we should vigorously train a group of doctors throughout the country to improve their social status. The money may be far from enough, but there is something else to look for. "

Li Wei's words shocked all of you here. The Empress Dowager is really the mother of a country and cherishes the world.

Li Wei also said: "in its position, plan its politics. I don't care if I don't sit in this position. But now it happens to be able to get involved in this matter, so we have to think about it from the position of the people in the world. Many of the people suffered because of their contempt for the disease, delayed treatment, and eventually died. Even there were no doctors. They had to believe that the gods had turned some runes into water. In the end, they had no effect, and they were not killed. The common people are the foundation of the country. If there is no one, there will be no one in the world. "The Empress Dowager is young. I heard that she grew up reading the four books for girls at home. It is said that she is the softest and has no idea about her behavior. Now it seems that the rumors are not true. The Empress Dowager seems to have a lot of ideas. Du Yu and others are confused.

Li Wei simply explained his intention, and there was no objection at the moment.

Li Wei finally nodded with satisfaction: "calling you here is for this matter. It's been a long time

I will serve tea to see off the guests. The ministers told the ceremony one after another, and then retreated out. They left the palace gate all the time and walked towards the Jinglong gate.

Just out of the Jinglong gate, Zheng Guangming, a bachelor, stopped.

"Du Shoufu, what does the Empress Dowager mean?"

Du Yu said, "is Zheng Da's Bachelor old and dazed? What does the Empress Dowager mean

Zheng Guangming twisted his white beard and said, "I think something is wrong. The former empress dowager has never asked about the affairs of the court. Besides, she is not allowed to ask about these things as a woman

Liao Qi was also deeply puzzled and said, "is it possible that the Empress Dowager wants to follow Xiao Tai's example in Jin Dynasty and listen to the government from a hanging curtain?"

The four words "listening to the government from the curtain" can change the face of the audience.
