Valley Emperor

Gerdes is very clear that the reason why the glorious and great Emperor His Majesty was able to personally allow himself to become a citizen of the Datang Empire and become a citizen of the Datang Empire was naturally not because he was handsome, nor because of the gold in his pocket. Silver, but because he said he could help His Majesty the Emperor recruit a large number of skilled craftsmen of all kinds.

Therefore, when he bought a house and settled down in Zhaoqing these few days, while strolling the streets of Zhaoqing to open his eyes, he was also thinking about how to efficiently complete this task of His Majesty.

Recruiting craftsmen is actually difficult to say, complicated and complicated. If it is just an ordinary craftsman, as long as the high salary is promised and the wealth of the Tang Dynasty is exaggerated, these craftsmen will naturally follow him excitedly. Get on the boat, and then come to the Tang Dynasty.

But the crux of the matter is that the Tang Dynasty didn't want ordinary craftsmen, but really high-tech craftsmen, not those half-baked.

After all, the Tang Dynasty did not need any craftsman. It needed craftsmen with real skills and superb skills. As for those ordinary craftsmen, the Tang Dynasty has cultivated them all over the past few years. There are quite a few, although there is some demand for ordinary craftsmen, but it is not very urgent.

At present, what the Tang Dynasty needs most is craftsmen who can manufacture large-caliber artillery, and at the same time, they also need to master the production of iron cannons, especially the production process of large-caliber long-barreled iron cannons. In addition, the Tang Dynasty also needs to use clocks and watches. Craftsmen of precision machining represented by manufacturing.

And whether it is a cannon maker or a watchmaker and other high-tech talents related to machinery, even in Europe, they are also invaluable talents!

And people with superb skills, to be honest, don't worry about not having a good job there. To be honest, it is not so easy to get them to come to the Far East to work from thousands of miles away.

However, Gerdes has already made up his mind. As long as he finds this type of person, no matter whether he wants it or not, he will forcibly bring Tang Tang!

As a pirate captain, if he can't rob a few craftsmen, then his pirate captain will be in vain.

After making such a determination, although Guedes was extremely reluctant to live in Zhaoqing, he returned to the trade area of ​​Guangzhou, where he had to recruit enough sailors, so that he could take him in Malacca and other colonies. The alternative: grab people directly!

And the preferred plan is to use high salary or other promises to coax people directly!

In short, one can deceive one is one, and one can grab one is one!

He made a deal with the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when he was registered, and given him half a year, he would definitely find a craftsman capable of making large-caliber naval guns for the Tang Dynasty.

After staying in the Guangzhou Trade Zone for three days, after recruiting enough people and bringing a large amount of goods, it is time to set sail to Malacca again, recruiting artisans and doing business without delay.

As for his plan to become a great Erdao dealer, he was temporarily put on hold, and now his priority is not to make money, but to recruit craftsmen first.

When Gerdes set sail, Li Xuan also received a report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but Li Xuan did not pay much attention to it!

Asking Guedes to go to Southeast Asia and even Europe to recruit high-tech craftsmen is just one of many options he has made to develop the industry, and it is only one of many options.

In order to develop the industry, in order to create large-caliber naval guns and improve the level of precision machining, Li Xuan's main plan is to focus on self-cultivation and research and development, and the use of external forces is only secondary.

Because even if some craftsmen are brought in from Europe, the Tang Dynasty can produce large-caliber naval guns, but at most it is only a small batch of manual production. If this is the case, the Tang Dynasty will work hard to develop it for a few years. , can also be produced, after all, fourteen catties of artillery can be produced by hand in small batches, and the principle of hand-made artillery is actually the same.

Since it is possible to manually manufacture a 14-jin artillery with a caliber of 20 times the caliber, it is also possible to make a 18-jin or even 24-jin artillery with a 20-caliber caliber simply by thickening the barrel.

What really troubled the subordinate arsenals of the Tang Dynasty was how to mass-produce these artillery pieces and at the same time how to mass-produce these artillery pieces with cast iron. One of these two points involves the difficulty of precision machining. , and the other involves more difficult material problems.

In order to overcome these difficulties, there is no tricky way. We can only continuously improve the existing machinery, improve the processing level, and then test the formula of various raw materials over and over again. These all take a lot of time and at the same time. What is needed is real scientific talent, not just artisans who rely on experience and pass from generation to generation.

At present, in the Tang Dynasty, the only people who barely have such ability are only the students in the young army camp!

In order to further improve the scientific and technological research and development capabilities of the young army camp, Li Xuan has continuously reformed the young army camp!

As a simple orphanage training institution, the initial purpose of the infantry camp was to train civilians and military generals who were loyal to the royal family, but now, there have been changes. To be honest, when Li Xuan set up the infantry camp, there was no such thing as I thought that I would make a mistake and turn the young army camp into a research and development institution.

At the beginning, his idea was to carry out scientific research and development in the Royal Academy of Sciences, but it was very disappointing that those traditional craftsmen in the Royal Academy of Sciences were simply unable to undertake the research and development of advanced technology.

In mid-May, Li Xuan once again performed major operations on the infant military camps, as well as the government-run juvenile colleges and colleges.

This is a change made by imitating the general camp of the junior military camp, and it is to train them in advance according to the talents of the students in the junior military camp.

At the same time, the main camp of the young army camp was divided. The Zhaoqing general camp of the young army camp only kept the liberal arts classes and military classes. With the training of high-quality civilian officials and high-quality military officers as the core, there were seventh grades to twelfth grades, and sixth grade students from the junior military camps in various places. The liberal arts class and the military class continue to study at the Zhaoqing General Camp of the Young Army Camp.

After graduating from the twelfth grade, the liberal arts can be directly awarded officials or participate in the general examination. Those with average grades in the military class can directly enter the army and serve in the army. After serving, they can also apply for the Imperial Academy on their own, depending on the situation. Those with excellent academic performance can continue to study at the Imperial Academy.

The science class in the general camp of the Zhaoqing Junior Barracks is a separate establishment of the Royal Institute of Technology. The courses are from grades 7 to 12, divided into middle grades and senior grades. Sixth grade science students from the junior military camps in various places can directly enter the school to study. At the same time, it also recruits high-quality sixth-grade graduates from youth colleges around the country.

This is a professional college aimed at cultivating high-quality science and engineering talents, which is very different from the science college in Guozijian, which only cultivates civil servants with modern scientific knowledge.

At the same time, the government-run colleges and universities in various places also carry out class-based learning in arts and sciences, cancelling the tenth to twelfth grades that were nominally available in the past, but in fact not having a single student, and only retain the seventh to ninth grades.

Science graduates after the ninth grade can apply for the Royal Institute of Technology!

And liberal arts students can also apply for Guozijian, or martial arts school!

This kind of split is more conducive to concentrating teachers and turning the Royal Institute of Technology into a pure science and technology college, and it is also a preparatory college focusing on research and development!

Yes, even the Royal Institute of Technology is not a real university in Li Xuan's mind. In fact, it is just a middle school with a high school department.

As for the Junior College and the Higher College, they are on the road to return to ordinary schools!

In a few years, Li Xuan will open a government-run preparatory school, open high school courses, and open a university at the same time according to the situation, especially after the teachers are fully guaranteed.

As for the Royal Institute of Technology, it can also directly open university classes in the future, becoming a school that includes junior high school, high school, and university!

In fact, Li Xuan also really wants to do it in one step, and directly run schools such as elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities. but teachers!

Without a teacher, you are running a school!

Now in the whole Datang, there are no more than 200 students in the sixth grade and above, and there are only a few dozen students in the seventh grade and above. It is impossible for them to be teachers to fill such a huge gap, so Li Xuan can only take one step. Step by step, first elementary school, then junior high school, then high school and university.

The Royal Institute of Technology, is an exception!

Because Li Xuan needs them to develop various technologies~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if it is just a group of junior high school level technicians, it is much better than those craftsmen!

For the advancement of modern education, Li Xuan spared no effort!

At the same time, he spared no effort in supporting and developing science and technology!

Inspired by the students in the former young army camp who developed a large number of technologies, which were authorized to various factories and collected royalties from them. At the same time, there is also a wave of large-scale industry and commerce in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, steam engines also appeared. , the wave of the industrial revolution is coming!

The Tang Dynasty needs to prepare for this!

To this end, the patent law that Li Xuan instructed the Ministry of Justice to formulate was also officially promulgated in early June!

The Patent Law stipulates that inventors can apply for patents for various technologies and products that have not yet appeared before. As long as they pass the patent review, the inventor will have exclusive patent rights for 20 years. Must be licensed by the patentee.

If anyone dares to carry out imitation production without authorization, he will be fined and bankrupt!
