Iron Dynasty

With the sound of bang, the plaque of Bowen College landed, and the plaque of Qingzhou University was officially hung on the door.

The glittering four characters symbolize Xiao Ming's vision that the future education of the Great Yu Kingdom will be bright.

Because for him, his advantage is education, and education is the foundation of rejuvenating the country. With the technological spar in hand, the technological explosion of the Great Yu Kingdom will be fiercer than that of the West.

In front of Qingzhou University, the two talked about the reform of the imperial examination for a while. In the end, the title of the imperial examination will continue to be retained, but the content of the examination has completely changed.

From now on, the titles of Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi will gradually become a thing of the past, and the examination will no longer be divided into the township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination. Generally speaking, the education of the Great Yu Kingdom will move towards modernization.

Your Majesty, now the military, politics, law, and medicine have been separated from Bowen College, and now only architecture, water conservancy, machinery, physics, chemistry, commerce and other subjects are left.

The split of Bowen College was ordered by Xiao Ming. His purpose was to standardize education. For him, Qingzhou University would be the first comprehensive university in the Great Yu Kingdom.

The military, medical and political schools are independent schools with strong professionalism and special talents.

Well, this university is one aspect, but you also have to keep an eye on the schools in various states and counties, especially the character of this teacher, as the so-called man is a teacher, if this teacher is a beast, how can you cultivate a group of teachers for me? An upright and upright talent. Xiao Ming said as he walked towards Cheongju University.

What the emperor said is that Xiaguan must strictly govern these teachers and not let them misunderstand their children. Chao Zhengwen said, But the emperor, Xiaguan once proposed to establish a cultural and educational college to train teachers, and I hope the emperor can agree. , Buddha said that this teacher is really not enough.

Chao Zhengzheng's current concept has been modernized. He said that the College of Culture and Education is similar to the modern normal college, which is specially used to train teachers.

Naturally, he has no objection to this Xiao Ming, and Chao Zhengwen also knows that his real purpose is to reach out and ask Xiao Ming for money.

This cultural and educational reform also requires money.

I will discuss this matter with Pang Shoufu, and try to squeeze out some money for you to use. Xiao Ming can only say that.

There are many places where money is needed now, and they must be managed uniformly, and he can't just talk about it.

After talking about this, the two continued to walk into the courtyard. Generally speaking, he was very satisfied with Chao Zhengwen's reform.

Now the division of subjects is becoming more and more detailed, which also means that in terms of talent training, the Great Yu Kingdom has already begun to catch up with the West.

But to do so, he will be personally involved in teaching and research.

Thinking of writing another book, Xiao Ming is a big one, and a slow writing tool like a brush is no longer suitable for him.

While inspecting Qingzhou University, he thought about making a fountain pen. With the current level of craftsmanship in Qingzhou, he could make a fountain pen.

The only shortcoming is that he can't make molten steel that can absorb water. At present, he can only make a pen similar to a quill pen, which can be dipped in ink to write a few words. After all, there is no rubber in Qingzhou now.

But thinking of rubber, Xiao Ming's mind moved. This rubber is a strategic material in this era. In contemporary times until the Republic of China, rubber was a strategic resource of Western countries. Now he can't let go of this scarce resource.

After visiting Qingzhou University for a while and explaining the next cultural and educational reform affairs, Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun returned to the palace.

At this time, Song Guogong was also dragged to the East Market, and in front of everyone's eyes, the yamen faced Song Guogong in front of the people and severely beat fifty big boards.

Song Guogong's butt was ripped apart after the fifty boards fell, and the last board fell, and he passed out.

The people from the Guogong Mansion who heard the news were crying and rushing to the ground, but under the supervision of Fiji and Pang Yukun, the board was getting heavier and heavier.

Pang Yukun said, The emperor has an order, and the offenders will be treated equally in front of the national law, regardless of whether they are common people or royal family members.

When the people heard the words, they nodded frequently one by one.

Originally, life in Qingzhou was very peaceful, but it has changed since the influx of these royal clansmen and officials.

Some of them started to oppress the people by taking advantage of their power, and the people were too angry to say anything about it, so they were happy to hear that the Duke of Song was beaten.

After punishing Song Guogong, Pang Yukun and Fiji turned around and left. For them, Song Guogong was asking for it this time. Xiao Ming was trying to deal with these royal family members and nobles, and Song Guogong ran into him himself.

At the same time, the story of Song Guogong being beaten quickly spread among the royal clans in Qingzhou.

Song Guogong has always been their leader. Now that Song Guogong was beaten, they were naturally frightened.

In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Ming beat Song Guogong to punish Song Guogong for beating Pang Yukun, but in their opinion, Xiao Ming was killing chickens for monkeys to see, and clearly told them that whoever dares to make trouble in the future, Song Guogong will be their end. .

Many people have opinions on the cancellation of the royal family's worship this time. They are preparing to discuss the matter with Song Guogong.

For him, this Xiao Ming is different from any prince. He was demoted to Qingzhou since he was a child. Strictly speaking, he has no intersection with the royal family and nobles of Chang'an.

And it's a joke in their mouths.

When Xiao Ming defeated the barbarians and defeated the three kings, they didn't help. Speaking of them, they were just refugees. It could be said that Xiao Ming had to pay attention to them.

Although this country was inherited by Xiao Ming, it was nothing more than a fight.

At this time, Xiao Ming and Qian Dafu had already returned to the Xingyuan. In the study, Xiao Ming faced the map on the wall and looked at Gao Li.

After the reform, the most urgent thing is to find overseas markets, because after the popularization of industry this time, the goods in the six states will show explosive growth.

And these commodities must be exported after satisfying the domestic demand, otherwise the slow sale of commodities will kill the industrial system he established like poison.

The essence of the problem is very simple. If a merchant cannot make a profit, he will not be able to maintain the existence of the workshop. Even the government-run workshop of the imperial court will lose money and eventually become a drag if the goods are not sold well.

It can be said that if there were no overseas colonies to provide Britain with a place to promote goods, capital would not be able to promote the British Industrial Revolution.

In the same way, if Xiao Ming cannot find a way out for commodities, his industrial revolution will be aborted.

Because of this, he set his sights on Goryeo, the first place he wanted to colonize, and it was also a strategy that killed two birds with one stone.

Once Goryeo is subdued, he will directly threaten the barbarians from the direction of Goryeo.

Make up for it tomorrow, make up for it.
