Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Along with the good news from the farmers came the Mohists and Confucians.

The Mohists had discovered large amounts of sulfur and nitroxanone from the Panzhihua Mountains.

With the cooperation of Xiao Mu, the Duke of Zhenguo, they are collecting it secretly.

These will become the main materials for making muskets and bombs in the future.

Although it is not possible to achieve a continuous and unlimited supply, it can at least allow Da Zhou to not worry too much about the consumption of ammunition in the following battles.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng once again secretly handed over some more advanced weapon drawings to the Mo family.

Although the musket is powerful, it is not invincible after all.

Especially with the repeated use of muskets, the world has long been aware of the shortcomings of muskets. For example, it can only be fired once, and it takes a long time to load each time. During this gap, as long as the opponent launches an attack without his life, it will be troublesome. .

Therefore, continuous muskets are the key to the subsequent war.

The difficulty of manufacturing such a repeating musket is far more than before, and everything can only be relied on the Mohist family.

As for Confucianism, they have begun to spread simplified characters and compile and match dictionaries.

"Send the order to supervise the construction of the school!"

“As long as children of school age can enter the school to study!”

This order spread, and the world went crazy about it!

In the past, learning had always been the exclusive privilege of the nobility, and knowledge was only spread among the nobility.

If ordinary people want to learn, it is simply impossible.

Even if the family spends all their money to send their children to private schools, it is still a big challenge for them.

Because poor people will be ostracized and bullied everywhere.

There are even children from poor families who can't stand this kind of atmosphere and drop out of school and go home.

Now, the imperial court takes the lead in supervising the construction of schools so that everyone can study in the schools without discrimination!

This simply subverted the imagination of the world.

Many people even think that this may be a pie painted by the imperial court!

Until the first school was built and the door was really opened for all students who were willing to learn, the eyes of the world were moist and the people were kneeling in worship!

However, the pilot program has just begun in the school, and the treasury is still empty, so it cannot satisfy everyone's learning needs in a short time.

But, no one cares!

Because what they see is hope!

As long as the court is given some time, as long as Zhou Zheng is given some more time, maybe in the future, everyone can really have books to read!

Of course, the most moved people were Jiang Zheng and other great Confucian scholars.

Once a Confucian scholar, his lifelong pursuit was to enter the court and serve as an official.

Unfortunately, becoming an official is not easy.

After all, the path to becoming an official is very rare, but now with the emergence of schools, they have discovered that even if Confucian students cannot become officials, they can still teach and educate people.

More ideas can be conveyed.

They may not have the absolute power in the hands of officials, but they are the enlighteners of children all over the world, the shapers of the future pillars of the country, and the parties who can witness a new world!

Such honor has already surpassed being an official.

Confucian scholars all over the world responded, and some radicals were willing to dedicate their lives to education.

"First, priority is given to establishing schools in rural areas in the early stage."

When Zhou Zheng said these words, everyone was shocked.

"When the country is really in need, it is those ordinary people who join the army, shoulder their weapons, and stand on the front line without fear of life or death."

"This is what they deserve."

Zhou Zheng's voice was very small, but it moved everyone's face.

These dignitaries in big cities have already received enough.

Even if there is no school, they still have many ways to let their descendants learn knowledge.

But it's different for farmers in rural areas. School may be their only chance.

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, but everyone had already vaguely felt it.

"The school will become the main way for them to transcend classes and make changes in their lives."

Muttering to himself, Zhou Zheng stopped explaining.

"Second, all local government agencies must be responsible for paying teachers in schools on time."

Hiss, hiss! ! ! !

This time, Jiang Zheng and others stared with wide eyes, expressions of disbelief.

"The world I hope for is one where everyone has food to eat, clothing to wear, and books to read!"

"But I don't want this to be based on depriving anyone of their labor."

"So, you deserve those."

Zhou Zheng waved his hands with a calm look on his face.

But Jiang Zheng and others gritted their teeth and then also knelt down towards Zhou Zheng.

They never thought that Zhou Zheng would be like this.

You know, one school may not bring much burden to the court, but what if there are thousands of schools? !

Can the court really afford it?

But they did not doubt Zhou Zheng.

They also knew that the imperial court was in dire straits and that it was riddled with holes, but even so, Zhou Zheng had never been stingy.

This is the real reason why they pursue the emperor!

"I will find a way to solve the money problem as soon as possible."

"I also hope that Sir can keep things in the school on track as much as possible."

Zhou Zheng looked serious.

To transform the world, we need more than just tyrannical weapons, but also a change in knowledge and concepts.

And all this cannot wait any longer!

Hoo ho ho! ! !

"Now it seems that the court is still short of a lot of money."

Thinking of the money in the treasury now, Zhou Zheng was a little helpless.

If Daxia hadn't given him a generous sum of money when negotiating peace, how would Zhou Zheng dare to say these words now.

However, the three-year tax exemption and the re-enlistment and training of new troops have left the imperial court stretched thin.

"For money matters, you can only go to the Su family."

Fortunately, there is also the Su family. Although I don't know how the Su family is doing now, I think it can always give Zhou Zheng some confidence.

......

Great Xia Kingdom!

This time the defeat and peace talks and compensation payments made the entire Daxia Kingdom feel oppressed by a gloomy heaviness.

Even the eyes of the people were filled with helplessness and despair.

They couldn't figure out why the Great Xia Kingdom had come to this point.

And in the country of Daxia, inside the palace!

The sound of a baby crying suddenly came.

This voice made everyone in the palace feel excited.

"The princess has given birth, it's a boy, it's a boy!"

As soon as the news came out, all parties rushed to tell each other.

"Great!"

"God bless me Daxia, God bless me Daxia!"

"It's a boy, the child of that great man who is like a god!"

Tuoba Lie paced back and forth on the dragon chair, a hint of excitement finally appeared on his face.

"Quickly, take me to Nazha's delivery room!"

Tuoba Lie quickly walked to the front.

"My lord, if the princess gives birth to a baby boy, whoever knows it will definitely come to our country of Great Xia as soon as possible!"

"When the time comes, we can get back all the humiliation!"

"We want to eradicate the entire Dazhou!"

"All the women of Dazhou will be humiliated and made into slaves, and all the men of Dazhou will be killed!"

"Especially, Zhou Zheng!"
