The Imperial Court not supporting educational construction has nothing to do with the provinces, as the Qing court entered the late dynasty period, the provinces have long listened to orders without acknowledging proclamations.
As long as the provinces do not openly resist, the Qing court allows them to have their own thoughts, somewhat resembling the Emperor of Zhou's system of feudalism.
More specifically, it's like America's federal system, which is also why America is the first choice for Qing court studies abroad; everyone's situation is more or less the same.
Zhu Wencong was very pleased to see Governor Liu Kun intending to promote educational construction in a province, willing to provide financial and manpower support.
Compared to those bureaucrats in the officialdom, Zhu Wencong prefers scholars, who place far more importance on education than other bureaucrats.
