The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"Really?"

"Of course, is this still false?"

"I really envy the empress, even if she becomes the mother of an empress and is pregnant with a dragon species, all the women in the world will be envious to death!"

"If you don't envy me, you should serve the ladies well. In the future, if the lady you serve is pregnant with a dragon seed, you will also be rewarded!"

The news that Yang Xiao was pregnant with a dragon seed quickly spread throughout the palace. For a while, all the eunuchs and maids in the palace were talking about it, and even the guards on duty chatted in their free time. It is the voice of envy, of course, there is also the voice of jealousy, but the voice of jealousy does not allow them to make it.

When Zhao Mu and Tian Yue in the harem got the news, their hearts were mixed, with envy, jealousy and hatred, but Wei Shuyi was indifferent, because she had no idea of ​​having children at all, she just wanted to use the Great Qin Empire to help her The imperial brother Wei Gong regained the throne and avenged his father!

This is all she has in mind, and she has no thoughts of competing for favor at all.

But Tang Hua was not very envious, nor jealous or hated, and even a little happy, happy that there would be one more person in the Ying Qin royal family. She had no idea of ​​competing for favor at all. For her, having a Ying Bei was already enough.

.....

In the following time, Ying often reviewed the memorials day after day and was busy with political affairs. After the Ministry of Industry raised money, it immediately recruited labor from the whole country, including the seventeen counties in the northwest of the customs. Recruiting labor was not as simple as imagined.

The labor force in the 10,000 counties in the northwest of the Guan was very limited. After all, cattle, sheep and horses need people to manage them, and the seven counties in the Guan are also due to the upcoming autumn harvest. The labor force that signed up for the Ministry of Industry was very small, only [-]+ people, which made the Minister of the Ministry of Industry Jiang Haiyou couldn't sleep day and night!

When this matter reached Ying Chang’s ears, it made Ying Chang quite worried, but there was bad news and good news. Fangzi, the crossbow department of the Ordnance Department, once again made great contributions, and the output of each department of the Ordnance Department more than five times , Fangzi did not develop the appliance, but adopted the assembly line mode!

The craftsmen of each department are divided into groups, and each group of craftsmen works differently, and each part has a special group responsible for it. In this way, each person is only responsible for one thing, and there is no need to think about other things. It is in this mode that The output has only doubled by a full five times.

However, if the output increases, the budget will also increase, because the more you make, the more materials you will use. The materials are all bought with money. If the output is increased by five times, the cost of materials will also increase by five times. For the household department, it is definitely a huge pressure!

On July 15th, the [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the imperial court issued an announcement, which excited the people of Daqin!

Announcement: From the first year of the Holy Qin Dynasty to the eighth year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, the Qin people in the world were miserable, and I feel sorry for them. Although the people in the Qin Dynasty have gradually improved in recent years, ninety percent of the Qin people in the world cannot read half a word, and countless children want to go to school. Studying in a private school has become a pillar of the empire, but the poor people can't afford it, ruining the dreams of countless children!

If the Great Qin Empire wants to truly become a prosperous empire, it does not depend on me, nor on the imperial court, but on the people of Qin all over the world. I have decided that from now on, the Chinese Academy will be established, and the Prime Minister of Zuo, Zhang Feizi, will be the first bachelor to take full charge of the Chinese Academy!

There are 420 schools under the jurisdiction of the Secondary School, one in each of the seven counties and villages in the Daqin Pass, and five in Xianyang City. All Daqin citizens, under the age of eight and above the age of eight, can enroll in the hall for free, and schools in various places do not charge Any miscellaneous expenses, all expenses will be borne by the middle school, if there is a school secretly collecting fees, you can file a complaint with the local censor, and the imperial court will severely punish it!

As soon as this announcement in the name of Ying Chang was issued, it immediately caused a shocking wave among the people. I don’t know how many people were completely shocked. Since ancient times, there has never been a country that allows its people to go to school for free, and on such a large scale , covering the entire territory of the seven counties in Guannei!

At the entrance of the North Street of Xianyang City, an old man with crutches in expensive clothes bowed and squeezed into the crowd. He was old and his eyes and ears were not working well. Finally, listen carefully and understand the contents of the notice.

Hearing the content of the notice, the old man's eyes gradually turned red, and tears rolled in the sunken eye sockets. The big old hand holding the crutches was also trembling slightly, and he held his breath for a long time before he muttered to himself excitedly Said: "You can go to school for free, you can go to school for free, woo woo..."

The old man was both excited and in pain, tears couldn't stop sliding down his cheeks, and while weeping bitterly, he couldn't help falling into memories!

60 years ago, the old man was a blind and ignorant teenager. He loved reading and writing. He hoped to serve the country and make profits for the people one day. However, his family was poor and his annual income was less than two taels of silver. The problem is that there is no money for him to study.

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a collection, asking for a full order, and asking for four daily requests. I hope all the judges can agree!"

Chapter 521 The old man died with no regrets!

But his parents were very supportive of his study, even though they had no money, they borrowed money from everywhere to help him study. After studying for a year, his mother died of exhaustion in the field. When he was about to give up, his father told him, It's okay, there's Dad and me, you just need to concentrate on your studies.

In the second year of studying, his father died of exhaustion in the field. Both his father and mother died, and he owed a large sum of money. Can give up studying and start living a life of wandering.

After five full years of wandering life, he came to Xianyang from Hedong. In the end, because he could read and write, he was favored by an adult family in Xianyang City. The eldest lady of this family fell in love with her and became her son-in-law.

After the death of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he took over the whole family and became the head of the family. After becoming the head of the family, he was very rich, but he could never go back. No matter how much money he spent, he could not get back his parents. Many people are like himself, he was very kind, and he built a small private school to recruit the children of poor people to study.

What he hopes most in his life is that one day, the imperial court will allow the poor people in the world to go to school for free. He thinks about this day day by day, and in the blink of an eye, half of his body has been buried in the ground, and this wish has finally come true!

thump!With a sound, the old man's dying body fell to the ground, and his eyes gradually became blurred. The old man knew that his time limit was coming and he would not live long, but he was not unwilling at all. Even at the moment when he closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing A gratified smile.

"I have no regrets about my death. I hope that the great Qin will rise like the sun and let more poor people study!"

This sentence was the last uttered by the old man before he died. Unfortunately, no one heard it, but his wish will be seen in the sky one day!

"It's dead!"

"It's the old head of the Huang family, hurry up and call the Huang family over!"

"Scatter, scatter!"

The sudden death of the old man caused panic among the surrounding people. Fortunately, people from the Huang family came very quickly, and the old man's body was carried away not long after. Things.

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son!"

"Woooo, there is no such good majesty in the whole world!"

"I'm waiting for the blessings of the people of Qin, I'm waiting for the blessings of the people of Qin, quickly follow me to the direction of the palace to thank Your Majesty!"

"Caomin thanked His Majesty for your grace, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live Great Qin!"

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live! Long live!!"

"Long live Great Qin! Long live! Long live!!"

Thousands of people bowed in the direction of the palace, shouted loudly with expressions of sincerity and gratitude, and shouted in unison!

Imperial study room!

In the imperial study room, Ying Chang was wearing a black dragon robe and sitting on the black carved dragon throne, and was seriously reviewing the memorial. Pei Ji, the military guard of Xianyang Palace, stood respectfully beside Ying Chang in a black python robe. There were also eleven people wearing black python robes outside the imperial study room. The military guards of the Xianyang Palace were guarded, each holding a ring-shoudao, and their sharp eyes scanned back and forth.

I don't know if Ying Chang sensed something, and he involuntarily stopped the movement of holding the pen. Under Pei Ji's suspicious eyes, Ying Chang's mouth curled up a visible arc, showing a knowing smile and muttering to himself: " Listen, this is the voice of public opinion!"

Perhaps the voices of the common people could not reach the palace, but His Majesty, the most honorable emperor of the Great Qin Empire, has heard the voice of public opinion!

"Your Majesty, what's the voice?" Pei Ji couldn't help asking in doubt.

"Ha!" Ying Chang chuckled lightly, then smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's nothing!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Chang continued to review the memorial with a smile on his face, while Monk Erzhang couldn't figure it out, and subconsciously raised his hand and scratched the back of his head with a dazed look on his face.

.....

In Xianyang City East Market, a large flag was raised in the hands of an official, with a green dragon beast embroidered on both sides of the flag, and the words Qinglong Academy written on both sides of the flag!

"Qinglong Academy recruits 5000 students. Men under the age of eight and above can enroll in Qinglong Academy. There are a total of [-] masters in the school.

When you are free, you can come to the Qinglong Academy to teach and teach the knowledge of being an official. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and sign up. This opportunity, everyone You can’t miss it, but if you miss it, it’s gone!”

In the north market of Xianyang City, a large flag was held high in the hands of an official. On both sides of the flag was embroidered a Xuanwu mythical beast, and on both sides of the flag were also written the words Xuanwu Academy!

"Xuanwu Academy recruits 5000 students. Men under the age of eight can enter Qinglong Academy to study. There are a total of [-] masters in the school. These masters are top talents in all walks of life, and Xuanwu University has already made an agreement with the Imperial Palace Physician. Now, occasionally find time to teach students medical skills!"

In Xianyang City South Market, a large flag was held high in the hands of an official. On both sides of the flag was embroidered with a mythical Suzaku beast, and on both sides of the flag were also written the words Suzaku Academy!

"The Suzaku Academy recruits 5000 students. Men under the age of eight and above can enroll in the school without charging a fee. There are a total of [-] teachers in the school, and they can learn whatever they want. Moreover, the Suzaku Academy has already cooperated with famous businessmen from all over the world. After discussing with Fu Jia, he will come to Suzaku Academy regularly to teach students how to do business!"

In the west market of Xianyang City, a large flag was held high in the hands of an official. A white tiger mythical beast was embroidered on both sides of the flag, and the words White Tiger Academy were also written on both sides of the flag!

"The White Tiger School recruits 5000 students. Men under the age of eight and above can enroll in the school without charging any fees. Everyone can enroll and study with peace of mind. The number of masters equipped in this school ranks first among the seven counties in Guannei, and is the most. One of a school, you can learn whatever you want, and those who have excellent grades will be rewarded by the school!"

PS: "I'm asking for a recommendation ticket, asking for a monthly ticket, asking for a collection, asking for a full order, and asking for four daily requests. I hope all the judges can agree. Thank you very much, thank you very much!"

Chapter 522 People's Excitement!

"Here, I would like to remind you that the White Tiger Academy has already discussed with the Capital Camp and the Wujin Camp. The two camps will send generals to the school on time to teach the students the art of war. Men who want to kill the enemy and serve the country, and become marquises and generals, hurry up! Come to the White Tiger Academy, where the top generals in the world will teach you!"

Outside the Chengde Gate of the Imperial Palace, there was also a large flag held high by an official. Compared with the flags of the Qinglong, Xuanwu, Suzaku, and White Tigers in the four major bazaars, this flag did not have any animal patterns, it was dark all over, and embroidered with Four big red characters: Zhongdu Academy!

"The Zhongdu Academy opens today, with 5000 students enrolled. Men under the age of eight and above can study in the Zhongdu Academy. The Zhongdu Academy is located ten miles east of Xianyang City, and you have to travel ten miles out of the city to go to school. Although the journey is relatively long, you can There are many talents!"

"If you want to become a rich man on the side of the wealthy, you can enter the Zhongdu Academy, which will comprehensively analyze the way of business. If you want to become a clean and honest official who is well-known and supported by the people, you can enter the Zhongdu Academy, where the official way will be fully analyzed. !"

"If you want to be a craftsman like Fang Zi and develop tools that benefit the country and the people, you can enter the Zhongdu Academy. Fang Zi and several skilled craftsmen from the Ordnance Department will come to the Zhongdu Academy on time to teach students the art of craftsmanship, and let you know what it means uncanny workmanship!"

"If you want to become a top general like Hushi General, Zhenbei General, or even King Wu, you can study in Zhongdu Academy. There will be the most powerful masters of military strategy here to teach students the art of war and tactics!"

"In a word, what other schools have, Zhongdu Academy has, and other schools have a reward system. Zhongdu Academy is twice as many as other schools. The first senior student of Zhongdu Academy is the current Prime Minister Zuo and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. Master Zhang Feizi!"

As soon as the announcement of the establishment of the middle school and the establishment of the school was issued, the five imperial-level schools in Xianyang City immediately began to call for recruits, blowing out all they could boast, and drawing a big blueprint for countless bewildered ordinary people.

In fact, to be honest, there are not so many teachers in any of the Imperial Capital Schools. The Zhongdu School has the most teachers with only a hundred students. The other four schools have less than a hundred teachers. The reason why there are so few is because The number of masters is not enough, after all, there are only a few masters in the empire.

In addition to the insufficient number of teachers, the number of students can never be fully recruited. Although the huge city of Xianyang has been restored for a long time, its population has not yet reached 2. It is estimated that there are only about two thousand left.

If the two thousand students are divided equally, the five imperial-level schools may only be able to recruit 400 students. It is precisely because of this that the five imperial-level schools are bragging about their own schools just to rob people. The budget will also be reduced, and the allocation is based on the number of students.

The lack of students means that the resources of the Secondary School are favored by other schools. This is unbearable for any school, so they are recruiting people with great fanfare and hyping their own schools to the sky, in order to attract rare students to study in their own schools.

"My God, five schools, where is this?"

"I think Zhongdu Academy is good, but the doctor is Prime Minister Zuo, and he is also a bachelor of Zhongdu Academy!"

"Prime Minister Zuo, I know what kind of official it is, the leader of all officials, but what kind of official is a senior scholar of the Chinese Academy of Sciences? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Did you not read the announcement? The Chinese Academy is in charge of the schools across the country. Simply put, all the schools in the country are under the management of the Chinese Academy. A bachelor is the number one chair in the Chinese Academy. If you send your child to the Central Academy The school is equivalent to Prime Minister Zuo's students!"

"That's good. If you become an official in the future, with this card, you won't be able to get along anywhere. I've made up my mind and let the child go to Zhongdu Academy!"

"Zhongdu Academy is too far away, ten miles away, my child is still young, I can't go alone!"

"Can't you take him there?"

"Send? I don't have a horse at home, so I can only walk. It takes at least half a day to come and go. I have planted a lot of things in the field. Is it possible that I don't care about these crops?"

"Buy one. Horses are not expensive now. I don't believe you can't afford them. I know that you sold hundreds of grains for the autumn harvest last year. Hundreds of stones are worth a hundred taels of silver. You can buy ten horses." The horse is gone!"

"This...."

"My son's father, my son studies the most, and now he can study for free. If he can go to the best school, let him go to the best school. I have already thought about what a horse is, and I am going to buy one. Carriage, please ask another servant to drive the carriage to take my child to school!"

"Now that the road has been repaired, the horse-drawn carriage ride is very fast. It takes less than an hour and a half to go back and forth!"

"I'm going to send my child to the White Tiger Academy to become a general of the generation, haha!"

"support!"

"I don't know where to send my child now. I feel that all five schools are good!"

"Mother, you go back and discuss it with your man. The most important thing is to see what the child likes and what the child is interested in. Let him learn. For example, my child is not interested in anything but craftsman. , I was so angry to death, but no matter how angry I was, I had to support it!"

"To learn craftsman, go to Zhongdu Academy. Just now I heard from the people of Zhongdu Academy that Fang Zi, the crossbow commander of the Ordnance Department, will go to Zhongdu Academy to give lectures on time!"

"Yeah, I'm going to send you to Zhongdu Academy!"

In the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, a large number of people gathered together to discuss. Many people are both happy and sad. The happy people go to school for free, and there are five schools to choose from.

Someone may ask, what's so hard about it, let your child choose, and if the child likes the school, he will go to that school, but you must know that among the thousands of people, only a few are cheerful people. Some people's thinking is still relatively confined, thinking that this kind of thing should not be chosen by children, children are so young, what do they know, if they choose wrong, they will regret it for thousands of years.

And most of the children are very independent-minded, and they clearly pointed out that they like that school, but most of the people don't listen to what the children say. In this era when parents are the most demanding, children's choices are really unimportant.

In addition to the biggest confinement thought of the order of parents, there are also the three obediences and four virtues of women, and the confinement thought that women are not allowed to go to the hall. It is precisely because of this thought that Ying Chang made the school only recruit men. This is not discrimination, but can not fight against the general trend!

PS: "Please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a favorite, and ask for a full order!"

Chapter 523 Insufficient Labor Force!

Thoughts cannot be opened at once, and it takes time to get used to them. If Ying Chang ordered women to study in the school, I am afraid that there will be no one to support them. If they are enforced, they may become completely lonely.

The Great Qin Empire is not the Great Moon Empire, and the Great Moon Empire is not the Great Qin Empire. If the same policy is implemented under different national conditions, it will only end in embarrassment.

Furthermore, to put it bluntly, in this world of great controversy, the role of women is nothing other than to continue their offspring. If they have no value, their status will be low. This is a very realistic law. Ying Chang also wants women Contribute to Daqin, but reality does not allow it.

After recruitment, the five imperial-level schools finally recruited all the existing students in Xianyang City. The school that recruited the most students was Zhongdu School, with a full 1000 students, accounting for half of the student resources in Xianyang City. The remaining four universities Tang Tang went to Zhongdu Academy to file a complaint, telling Zhang Feizi not to be the senior teacher of Zhongdu Academy.

Zhang Feizi is a resounding signboard. Ten percent of the students in Zhongdu Academy go to Zhang Feizi. This makes the doctors of the other four colleges think that Zhang Feizi is helping Zhongdu Academy to cheat, which is unfair. Zhang Feizi is also very helpless about this. .

He has never thought of being the senior teacher of Zhongdu Academy, but the people of Zhongdu Academy cried to him, saying that the location of Zhongdu Academy is not in Xianyang City, but ten miles east of Xianyang City, which is too far away, and even said so far away , whoever comes to Zhongdu Academy to study, wants Zhang Feizi to make up for it.

In order to make up for it, Zhang Feizi served as the honorary doctor of Zhongdu Academy. Zhang Feizi really did not expect that half of the students went to Zhongdu Academy just because of himself. It's useless to say more, Zhang Feizi directly asked people to drive out the senior teachers of the Four Great Halls.

After the students were recruited, the five schools did not open, because the five imperial-level schools and even all the schools in the seven counties in Daqin Pass were still under construction.

Two schools in 420 in Daqin Pass were to be built, which sucked a lot of labor. This undoubtedly made Jiang Haiyou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, even more troublesome. He could only pin his hopes on neighboring countries, and the Chinese Academy only focused on students from neighboring countries.

In addition to the domestic labor competition between the Chinese Academy and the Ministry of Industry, there is no labor competition in neighboring countries. It is even said that the interests of the two are the same. The labor force happened to make up for the shortage of labor force in the Great Qin Empire, which was beneficial to both the Chinese Academy and the Ministry of Industry.

Time passed quickly, two months passed, and it was September 15th, [-]!

After two months, the Qinglong Academy, Xuanwu Academy, Suzaku Academy, White Tiger Academy, and Zhongdu Academy were finally completed, releasing nearly [-] laborers, and the [-] laborers released by the Chinese Academy were absorbed by the Ministry of Industry. .

On this day, countless people sent their children to study in various colleges with blushing faces, and the children happily carried their school bags to school. If children from other countries go to school, they probably go to school with a small bamboo cage on their backs.

The people sent their children to school, and they left one after another, without nostalgia. In this era, children are very mature and sensible, so there is no need for adults to worry. Moreover, the teachers in this era are not as gentle and kind as the teachers in Ying Chang's previous life. Hit students.

At this time, the teachers hated one another, and carried out stick education. If they were disobedient, they would be hit with hands. Unable to enter the school at all, many students fainted from exhaustion.

And the students who fainted did not dare to complain at all, let alone tell their parents when they went home, because if they told their parents that they were punished for running and fainted because of disobedience, they might have to suffer a second injury in mixed doubles. For adults, it is a great blessing to have the opportunity to study for free. If you dare to be disobedient and cherish it, you will be blamed if you are not beaten to death.

However, no matter how strict the education is, there will always be naughty children. This is the nature of children. As long as it is not excessive, the master will not care about it.

Not only the five colleges in Xianyang City started school, but all over the country also started school one after another. As soon as the school was built, the school would start immediately without any delay. Officials from all over the country were also very concerned about the opening of the school. Shi also often checks the quality of the school.
