Become a feudal king from today

"Your Highness, this is a big expense. Read"

"I, of course, know it, but there is no room for leisure at the moment. Radical methods must be adopted to popularize education and cultivate enough talents for Dasong in a short period of time." Zhao Xu said.

Scientific theories are ready-made, but someone also needs to move the things in the theory from books into reality.

Otherwise, everything will be just a mirror and a mirror in the water, and it will all come to nothing in the end.

Therefore, even if a large sum of money is taken from the national treasury, this matter must be done.

As long as Yanzhou's technology continues to make breakthroughs, he can use Yanzhou's products to gain wealth from all over the world.

If we are stingy with this little money, the future struggle with the Western Territory will cost countless times more money than the cost of education.

"Your Highness is as courageous as before." Liu Fu recalled that when King Yan had just recovered from his illness, he decided to tax Yanzhou's land in one fell swoop.

And this policy continues to this day, winning over the people and making King Yan's prestige irreplaceable.

He believed that King Yan's decision would not be wrong this time.

Although he felt sorry for Yinzi, he strongly agreed with this matter.

Coming from a poor family, he can naturally understand the sadness of children from poor families who want to study but cannot afford it.

Once this policy is implemented, it will not add any burden to the people of Yanzhou.

When the time comes, they will definitely be happy to send their children to the public.

Thinking of this, he became a little impatient, so he said: "Your Highness, I will go and prepare this matter right now."

"Wait a minute." Zhao Xu kept Liu Fu, "This is not enough. The most important thing is to let the people see the benefits of letting their children go to school. Therefore, it is necessary for the court to issue some more policies to promote education in Yanzhou."

"First of all, the official must issue a certificate of completion. Without a certificate of completion, you are not allowed to participate in the official examination. Secondly, the recruitment of personnel in Yanzhou Workshop must also meet corresponding requirements."

He divided public education into seven levels, of which the first four levels are equivalent to contemporary primary school education, and the last three levels are equivalent to junior high school education.

He is not prepared to implement high school education in public schools.

Students who have graduated from the public school can directly enter the science and technology school, the government school, the military school and the medical school through the examination, as well as the teacher school to be established.

The modern grade design is reasonable, but to him, it is only suitable for modern times and not for the current Dasong.

First, there are very few subjects that students need to master. Before level 4, they only need to take Chinese, mathematics and a comprehensive subject to popularize enlightenment knowledge such as scientific phenomena, history, geography and so on.

Chemistry and physics are added in grades five through seven.

At this time, the knowledge they master will meet the current technological needs.

In this way, Yanzhou can quickly cultivate more talents that are suitable for this era.

After all, in ancient times, one could take the imperial examination at the age of fourteen.

Having too many grade levels will only waste time and resources.

Of course, as technology advances, he will continue to make adjustments to the company to adapt to technological developments.

Therefore, the school will issue graduation certificates once in the fourth grade and once in the seventh grade.

The fourth grade graduation book is just to eliminate illiteracy and enter the workshop as an ordinary craftsman.

The seventh-grade graduation book allows students to enter the workshop and then train them into technical backbones.

If they still have the desire to study, a special workshop school will be established at that time, and students from the Science and Technology School will come to give lectures.

"In addition to this, we also need to comprehensively improve the status and treatment of craftsmen in government-run workshops and publicize it to all employees through the Propaganda Department." Zhao Xu thought for a while and continued.

Liu Fu heard this and secretly admired him.

It has to be said that these policies issued by King Yan have all grasped the key.

It is good for the people of Yanzhou to support King Yan.

But sometimes, people are also very realistic. They generally won't be too interested in things that are not beneficial.

Now, King Yan has linked all walks of life to Gong She's graduation certificate.

If they don't want their children to face the earth and face the sky all their lives, they can only change their destiny through public education.

"High, really high." Liu Fu gave a thumbs up.

Zhao Xu was basically immune to Liu Fu's flattery. He said: "Okay, now you can go back and make preparations."

In the next few days, Zhao Xu inspected other workshops, especially the weaving workshop.

This is the last link in the textile industry chain after spinning.

The loom currently used in the weaving workshop is the contemporary flying shuttle loom that was born around 1790.

The principle of the loom is as simple as the latitude and longitude lines on a map.

Just arrange the longitude and latitude threads across each other, and the cloth is born.

The characteristic of the flying shuttle loom is that it uses the flying shuttle to quickly intersperse between the warp threads to improve the efficiency of weaving.

Therefore, its key structure is the shuttle.

The key structure of the flying contraction is the spring inside, which is naturally not a problem for the current Yanzhou industrial level.

In addition, things like looms are traditional handicrafts of Dasong craftsmen.

By combining the two, a flying shuttle loom was successfully created.

Coupled with steam power, the first steam-powered weaving workshop in Yanzhou was born.

"How many pieces of cloth can each loom produce in a day?" Zhao Xu asked the owner of the weaving workshop accompanying him.

The manager of the weaving room is an old mother-in-law.

She had been tense since Zhao Xu arrived at the weaving workshop. After hearing this, she stammered, "You can weave about two hundred pieces of cloth in twelve hours."

Zhao Xu nodded. When the shuttle loom was first born, it relied on manual threading. At that time, its efficiency was about twice that of ordinary looms.

Later, through hydraulic power and then to steam power, its efficiency was greatly improved, and now it is about 150 to 600 times that of ordinary looms.

In addition, the weaving workshop adopts a three-shift working method. People take breaks but the machines do not, so the efficiency is even higher, reaching 200 times.

He made a rough calculation and found that there were five hundred looms in the weaving workshop.

The output on this day was 100,000 horses, which can only be described as terrifying.

The quality of the cloth produced by these machines is also very good. Soon, these machine-woven cloths will quickly destroy Yanzhou's traditional small-scale peasant economy.

And this is also one of his plans.

The small-scale peasant economy firmly anchors the population to the land, which is caused by the peasant-based feudal system for thousands of years.

Yanzhou already lacks labor force. If this is not changed, the people will still live a life of men farming and women weaving, and no one will want to come to the workshop.

In this way, the development of industry will be restricted.

Although, destroying the small farmer economy is tantamount to changing their way of life, which is a bit cruel.

But this is the trend of the times. He can be merciful, but the Xitu country will not be merciful to Dasong people.

When the time comes, their comfortable lives will be destroyed and they will suffer disasters they have never experienced before.
