One Piece of Song Dynasty

Liang Hongyu said thoughtfully: "If this road is built so well, we can save a lot of time on the road in the future. Of course, the speed of troop deployment will also be accelerated a lot, which will be beneficial to the control of the entire island."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Madam is worthy of being a general. You can tell something from the road construction. Once the road is repaired, it will not only speed up the deployment of troops, but also save a lot of consumption on the road."

Li Jing asked: "Brother, what are these buildings under construction for? I think they are quite big, and they are so close to our home."

Li Xin replied: "That is Imperial College. There are six Imperial Colleges in Xinghan City, all of which are built near our home. In addition to these six Imperial Colleges, there are ten primary schools in Xinghan City. All students in Xinghan City are over six years old. All boys and girls must enter primary school for enlightenment. This is mandatory and non-negotiable."

Liang Hongyu said: "Officials have to cultivate their own talents."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, after all, I am only a small county magistrate in the Song Dynasty in name. I can attract very few talents. In addition, we Han people will also need a large number of talents to revive in the future. I only rely on those Confucian scholars. In my opinion, that’s not possible. There are many things that Confucianism cannot solve, so we need talents from various industries.”

Liang Hongyu asked: "The officials want to suppress the status of Confucianism."

Li Xin shook his head and said: "It is not to suppress, but to improve the status of other talents, such as soldiers, craftsmen, doctors, etc. These people are all useful to the country. Without soldiers to protect our country, how can we develop with peace of mind? Without the craftsmen, How can we make our lives more convenient through inventions? Without doctors, who will treat us when we are sick? I want to raise their status to the same as that of Confucian scholars."

Liang Hongyu sighed: "Only officials will notice us who have low status in the Song Dynasty."

Li Xin said: "All people are born equal, and all walks of life are useful to the country, regardless of high or low."

Li Jing asked: "All children over six years old go to primary school to get started. Do they need to spend money to get started?"

Li Xin replied: "Yes, the cost of enlightenment is the same every year. The price I set is still very low. After all, pens, inks, paper and inkstones still need to be bought with money."

Li Jing continued to ask: "How many years do the children need to attend primary school? What do they learn in primary school?"

Li Xin said: "Children need to go to primary school for six years. In primary school, they only need to study three subjects: Confucianism, arithmetic, and history. After six years, they will enter six Taixue studies according to their own interests. They will need to study again in Taixue. For four years, the tuition of Taixue is based on what they have learned. The cheapest one is three guan per year, and the most expensive one is only five guan per year. After four years of study, they can enter the society and contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty. "

Li Jing then asked: "What did the six imperial schools learn?"

Li Xin continued to answer: "The six imperial colleges include Chongwen Academy, Chongwu Academy, Medical College, Agricultural College, Craftsman Academy, and Mining Academy. You should understand what you study in the six imperial colleges by looking at their names."

Liang Hongyu said: "It seems that the officials have made long-term plans."

Li Xin said proudly: "Of course, in addition to these six universities, more universities will be opened in the future. For example, I have planned to open two more universities in Jilong City, and a normal college dedicated to training Mr. Teach and educate, a naval academy is dedicated to cultivating naval personnel. The Chongwu Academy here in Xinghan City is equivalent to the Taixue specifically training infantry personnel. At a certain time in the future, our navy will change its name. It’s called Navy. The name Navy is too tacky. The sea is so vast, and that’s where our naval officers should gallop.”

Liang Hongyu said silently: "Navy, Navy, this name is really good. It seems that the officials want to conquer the sea."

Li Xin said: "Madam, let me tell you, the navy will definitely be more important than the infantry in the future. Previous dynasties did not attach much importance to the development of the navy. That is because they did not know the vastness of the sea and the richness of maritime resources. Or maybe we will be threatened from the sea at some point in the future."

When Li Xin said this, he thought of the humiliation that China suffered in the past century in modern times basically came from the sea. Whether it was the two Opium Wars, or the subsequent Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Sino-Japanese War of , and the Fourteen Years of Anti-Japanese War, they all showed that China The navy was extremely weak. During the August Songhu War of Resistance, the Japanese fleet used naval guns to bombard the positions at the mouth of the Yangtze River. If the navy at that time had been stronger, it would not have allowed the Japanese navy to bombard our own troops on our territory. , however, the navy at that time could only use self-sinking ships to block the waterway to stop the progress of the Japanese navy. What a shame, bald heads are stupid, they only know how to send troops under the guns of Japanese ships. This kind of people only know how to rely on foreign forces. The leaders deserved to be swept into the garbage heap of history; later, after the founding of the People's Republic of China by Taizu, although our navy had developed, it was still weak and unable to protect the interests of the country. The Galaxy incident is an example. A country's oil tankers can be used at will. Being boarded by another country's navy for inspection was an insult to the Chinese navy. I still remember that Sha Zukang, the deputy director of the Department of International Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the time, mentioned seventeen "wimps" in an interview. In addition, Li Xin still remembered Zhan Hu Chairman Zhang shed tears when talking about the development of the navy. If the country is not strong and the navy is not strong, we can only be bullied by others. Only in the st century will our navy have an easier time. The aircraft carrier has been launched. The large drive has been launched and the two offensives have been built. However, these are still not enough to make up for the time our navy has lost. The development of the Chinese navy still has a long way to go.

Liang Hongyu asked: "Threats from the sea"

Li Xin nodded and said: "Yes, the sea is vast. We know very little about the sea. I dare say that the threats from the sea in the future will definitely exceed the threats from the land. We should not be afraid of the sea and should take the initiative to explore it. Therefore, we must continue to develop the navy. With the development of the navy, we can also enrich our army's tactics. Joint operations between the navy and the infantry are much better than pure infantry operations. This can also make the enemy guess. It doesn’t tell us what we think.”

Liang Hongyu frowned and said: "Navy and infantry joint operations"

Li Xin said: "Yes, Madam, haven't you seen the map of the Tang Dynasty? Although it is now divided into the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, the terrain will not change. Madam came from the navy, so she should be able to think of it."

Liang Hongyu thought for a while and her eyes lit up and she said: "What the officials want to say is that when Yanyun is recaptured in the future, the navy can carry the infantry to land directly at Yanyun, or even land in the hinterland of Liao Kingdom."
