Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Chapter 1223 Necessary Trade-offs

When Wang Dong came, Zhou Xu was also on lunch break, so it was easy to see him.

"Principal Wang is here?"

When the two met, Zhou Xu teased him.

"Your Majesty, please stop joking with me."

Wang Dong bowed in a serious manner.

During this time, thinking of the development and growth of the Great Zhou over the years, looking at Zhou Xu in front of him, he was really moved.

Now they are both busy people. They really don't have time to chat all year round. Now they caught the opportunity and chatted casually.

However, Wang Dong's personality destined that the topic would soon be turned to business.

He came here this time mainly for the teaching staff of their Great Zhou.

In the early years, with the development of culture, Zhou Xu promulgated a policy that all children of age in their Great Zhou should receive compulsory education.

The policy was very successful and the effect was very good.

But the people of Da Zhou have lived too comfortably in recent years. Families have been giving birth like crazy, which has led to a surge in population in Da Zhou in recent years. The number of newborns has been growing like a snowball.

With more newborns, in a few years, there will naturally be more and more children of school age who need to go to school.

As early as a few years ago, the number of teachers and schools in Da Zhou was obviously insufficient.

For this reason, Zhou Xu has mentioned education funds several times, all of which are used to train teachers and increase the scale and number of schools in each city. Now, Wang Dong is undoubtedly bringing it up again.

For this situation, Zhou Xu has been mentally prepared for it, but he can't help but have a headache when talking about it.

"It's definitely not going to work in the next two years. The funds in Da Zhou have been used for development. The large-scale development of the south and the laying of steam trains all cost money..."

As a time traveler, Zhou Xu naturally knows the importance of education, but as the ruler of Da Zhou, the limited funds on hand also make him quite helpless.

Many times, it is not a joke to say "I want all" to get it done. Sitting in his position, he must make choices.

"Let the classroom be more crowded, let each teacher take more students, and if that doesn't work, let those who are not interested in learning go, and let those who are willing to learn."

Zhou Xu can basically be sure that there must be people who don't want to learn, and there are quite a few.

He opened up compulsory education to give all children in Da Zhou an opportunity to change their own destiny. If you don't cherish it, then forget it.

What's the saying?

Let go of the plot of helping others and respect the fate of others.

Not to mention that educational resources have been very tight in recent years, and there is no need to waste them on students who don't want to learn.

If this was said in the past, Wang Dong would definitely not accept it.

To be frank, Wang Dong before crossing was a bit idealistic and never gave up any of his students.

And to some extent, his luck was indeed good, and his efforts were rewarded.

But before, he was just an ordinary middle school teacher. He only needed to manage dozens of students in his class, and he didn't need to worry about other things.

But what about now? He is the principal of Black Moon City School and the Minister of Education of the Great Zhou.

To be honest, all the teachers and students of the Great Zhou are under his charge.

There are too many things that need him to worry about. It is impossible for him to be as devoted and dedicated to every student as he was when he was only responsible for one class before.

This does not mean that he has been corrupted by power and lost his original intention. He has just matured.

You have to do what you are in.

If Zhou Xu lets him teach only one class in the future, he can still be devoted to all the students in that class, but now, as the Minister of Education of the Great Zhou, just like Zhou Xu, he also needs to make choices.

He can't let the students who want to learn not learn for the sake of those who don't want to learn, right?

In this way, such screening becomes a necessary means.

"Speaking of not wanting to learn, Your Majesty, one of the two people you brought back before is now sleeping every day in school and doesn't want to learn at all. You see..."

Zhou Xu frowned.

"Wei Qing?"

"No, it's Zhang Wei."

Hearing this, Zhou Xu relaxed all of a sudden.

"Since he doesn't want to study, then let him drop out of school and give the place to someone who wants to study."

He brought Wei Qing and Zhang Wei back together, so he arranged them together at the time.

As mentioned before, educational resources are tight now. Since Zhang Wei doesn't want to study, there is no need to force him to study.

In fact, according to the current situation of the Great Zhou, even if you are uneducated, as long as you are willing to work hard and earn some hard work fees, you can live a good life.

After receiving this affirmative answer, Wang Dong nodded.

As for Zhang Wei's attribute panel, Wang Dong had seen it a long time ago and knew that Zhang Wei was very ordinary.

But considering that it was arranged by their majesty, maybe their majesty had some deep meaning, so he didn't move. Now it seems that he thought too much.

"Speaking of which, how is Wei Qing studying recently?"

He had just returned to Black Moon City and had a lot of things to do. After simply arranging for the two of them, he didn't pay much attention to it.

At this time, when Wei Qing was mentioned, Wang Dong's face was more smiling.

Sometimes we have to admit that it is completely normal for teachers to favor a student who is smart and motivated. After all, what reason do they have to not favor him?

"Wei Qing learns very quickly. He is definitely the smartest student I have ever taught."

As he spoke, Wang Dong's mood became cheerful.

"Your Majesty, how do you plan to arrange for him in the future?"

Originally, it was inappropriate for him to ask such a question, but now Wei Qing has become his half-proud disciple, which makes Wang Dong unable to control the urge to ask a few more questions.

Fortunately, Zhou Xu is not a petty person. In addition, he and Wang Dong are both Chinese time travelers, and they have a little revolutionary friendship. He doesn't care about his small transgression.

"When that kid has learned everything he should learn, I plan to arrange for him to go to the Northeast Fortress and be a close follower of Li Ce."

Things like leading troops to fight cannot be learned by just talking about it on paper. The best way is to send him to a reliable commander as an adjutant or close follower.

According to Wei Qing's current situation, he is obviously not qualified to be an adjutant, but being a close follower is not a big problem.

Under this premise, Zhou Xu also considered the candidate, and after much thought, Li Ce was the most suitable.

Not only because they both belonged to the type of "wise generals", but also because Li Ce's talent was also a jack of all trades. In terms of leadership ability and troop requirements, Li Ce did not have any obvious emphasis, which was very suitable for Wei Qing, who also had a universal talent!
