To Four Thousand Years Later

After that, another half a month passed.

Fraulos reported to Solomon the agreed number of the people of Israel, together with the number of various livestock. In addition, he also specifically marked the number of elderly people without labor, the eldest son and eldest daughter of the whole territory, and the number of children who should receive education in various places.

It's really hard work.

Solomon was very moved.

He originally thought that Floros was a small human-shaped map, but now he saw that the Tab key has become a master.

The usefulness of the statistics Floros gave him may not even be realized by Floros himself.

Without census data, all policies are on paper.

At least one must know the number of available labor forces across the country, so that Solomon will not be in the embarrassing situation of sending people out and suddenly finding that no one is available. The number of newborns in various places can verify the implementation of the basic education policy that Solomon will promote throughout the country.

As for the number of eldest sons and eldest daughters in the whole territory, it is even more important. The number of eldest sons allows Solomon to have a preliminary estimate of the number of the firstborn army - what kind of projects they can build, what level of productivity can they reach after a little training, and how much food they need to spend each year. At the same time, when the mayors of various places **** their eldest daughters to Jerusalem to receive teacher education, they can also give them a clear limit on the number of people.

For each city, Solomon directly delineated how many people to send up.

The "eldest sons" as the main combat power and productivity must maintain more than a certain number. This will be the lifeblood of Israel.

"If someone tries to sneak around and send someone else's daughter here to make up for it...they will regret it later."

Solomon said with such certainty.

He and Baimon probably agreed on such a set of educational regulations-that is, preschool education in various places, starting from the age of seven to the age of twelve. From the age of twelve, the eldest daughter was sent to Jerusalem to receive teacher training and clerical education, while the eldest son was sent to the honored eldest son army, where he ate and lived with other people, and could only return to his hometown for two months each year.

The eldest daughter's teacher training and clerical education will last for two years, that is, from the age of twelve to fourteen-by the way, the legal age of marriage is also set to start at the age of fourteen. A small group of the best among them will be recommended to Wangli College for advanced study and research.

If someone in the family is in the eldest son army, and there are other children who can inherit the family business, then the extra children can receive the basic education of the priests, which is also two years-the outstanding ones among them will be recommended to the Royal Academy, Become Israel's future judges and political commissars, and those with less ability will be distributed to various places to become supervisors.

In the King's College, this group of outstanding young people will receive Solomon's more advanced teachings and the education of proverbs. At the same time, ideological education will be carried out on them to make them more loyal and stable. After graduation, they will become local administrators, chief priests and secretaries

"You can rest now."

Yastaru said faintly, "I've done everything I need to do."

As she spoke, the hand that rubbed Solomon's forehead increased a little more force: "Can I go to bed early today, my lord?"

"sure…"

Solomon smiled wryly: "However, Yastaru. The construction of the temple has not yet started, and without the teaching of the workers from Tire, my people will not be able to build it. This academy cannot be built for the time being...so I It is planned to arrange this group of children to study here. Then you and Baimeng will help me take care of it."

"Huh? Here?"

Yastaru was surprised: "But this should be a privilege that only your children can have... Is there any problem with your mother?"

"I'll explain to mother."

Solomon said helplessly.

It's true that it's been a long time since I went to see Bathsheba to say hello... My cheap mother is not a bear. Knowing that Solomon was busy, he didn't send anyone to disturb Solomon.

But it's not a problem if we don't see each other all the time... Just because there is nothing to be busy for the time being, let's solve this problem first.

It would be great if I could let Bathsheba take care of this group of children. After all, these senior bureaucrats and senior managers trained by Solomon will become his most trusted first team.

In this case, Israel's bureaucratic training system will be initially formed.

Except for Solomon's so-called "Eldest Son Production and Construction Corps", other capable young people try their best to enter the selection process of the bureaucratic management system to ensure that Israel always has alternative reserve bureaucrats and knowledge inheritors.

Solomon, the second Israeli businessman, is also going to be selected from the King's College. For these merchants who have received priestly education or secretary education, Solomon will give them a sufficient mathematical foundation.

— And most importantly, their loyalty can be guaranteed.

They are either the second son or the third son in the family, with an elder brother in the eldest son regiment; or they are the eldest daughter in the family, with younger brothers and sisters who need to be supported in their hometown; there are also teachers who recommended them to enter the Royal Academy—— The strict legal accountability system, coupled with the ideological and political education they received in the Royal College, can greatly reduce the occurrence of them embezzling precious goods and fleeing to other countries.

And with the model of increasing taxes on these businessmen, or only giving them a basic salary plus a commission, the remaining profits can also support Israel's purchases and infrastructure projects.

When the influence of Israel rises in the future, these businessmen who have received higher education—at least the higher education in this era are enough to push Israeli culture and writing out of the country through other businessmen and wealthy people.

This will be the first step in the culture invasion

When Solomon set out to build this perfect system, Baimon was simply amazed, and even couldn't help but praise Solomon's wisdom many times.

Solomon looked calm and disapproving.

That's not because he's reserved and steady... He really doesn't think it's because he's smart.

This is entirely the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors - he just learned more complicated knowledge and had more experience working as a student.

"—I'm really just an ordinary person."

At that time, Solomon said this earnestly to Baimon, but Baimon just had a wonderful expression of "you stepped on my foot", and remained silent without saying a word.

"But, my lord... will the priests really support your reform?"

Yastaru, who was holding him behind him, said with some concern, "Will they say...we bewitched you..."

"They have to support it if they don't support it."

Solomon closed his eyes and meditated, and said casually, "What do you think I sent the priests to various places first. What's more, I have Benaiah."

Benaiah supported Solomon's reforms. Compared with the dispersed priestly class, the strength of the army, which has not decreased but increased, is enough to suppress their dissatisfaction.

This policy of using military aristocrats to contain the priestly class of scribes was inspired by Solomon's politics in the Ionian region hundreds of years later.

He first obtained the divine privilege of the monarchy, thereby lowering the voice of the priests; then he sent them everywhere to disperse their power, and suppressed their rights with mayors and governors and clerks chosen by Solomon. Then use the army to suppress the priesthood in Jerusalem.

As long as someone couldn't help but start jumping, Solomon would be able to reap another wave logically and push down the position of the priest again.

Although the past few years may be more difficult. But as long as the first batch of young bureaucrats are formed, Solomon will be able to take his energy out of the domestic political situation and concentrate on promoting art, culture and technology.

"Solomon, Zadok is back."

But at this moment, Baimon, who was helping Solomon to check the documents and notices, suddenly said: "It should be that the business has been negotiated... There is another news, I will tell you after Zadu leaves."

"Is Baal coming?"

Solomon turned his head against Yastaru's suddenly sharp eyes and asked.

Baimon glanced at Solomon in some surprise, nodded slightly, and said in a cold voice: "She has just entered the country. There are still three days before arriving in Jerusalem."

"-enough."

Solomon pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, Baimon. You go to Floros first. I want to suppress Zadok... There are other things."

"now?"

Baimeng asked, and the sound of his subordinates plucking the strings was suspended.

Solomon nodded resolutely: "Now, the sooner the better...but don't let him enter my place earlier than Priest Zadok."

"Okay, Wang. I'll do it now."

Baimeng nodded sharply and walked out of the inner palace.

"But, but, it's already dark, my lord! You clearly said that you would go to bed early today..."

Yastaru pursed his mouth and muttered aggrievedly.

Solomon paused for a moment, turned around and hugged Yastaru, and rubbed her hair vigorously.

"I'm sorry, Yastaru. But there are still some things I need to do."

Solomon said calmly, "Because no one can do it except me."

After speaking, Solomon gently pushed Yastaru's body to the ground and covered her with a quilt.

"I may come back later tonight, or I may not come back... You don't have to wait for me, go to bed first, Yastaru."

Solomon said casually.

As soon as he said this, he was slightly taken aback.

...Inexplicably, there is a sense of sight of calling my wife before working overtime at night.

This made Solomon feel warm in his heart, very satisfied.

—Another sad story is that he didn't have a wife before.
