Rejuvenating the country through science and education is the right way. The real competition between great powers, in the final analysis, is actually a competition between modern education levels and the proportion of educated population. The most obvious examples are Japan and Germany after World War II. Before the war, Germany had 80 million people. After the war, 8 million soldiers died, more than 20 million were disabled, and more than a million women were bullied by the US and Soviet troops. After the defeat of Japan and Germany, the entire country was shattered, and all kinds of top scientific research talents were divided cleanly and thoroughly between the United States and the Soviet Union. However, in less than twenty years after the war, these two countries have risen economically again. Not only that, although both countries are lame in terms of national defense, their strength is not weak. Germany¡¯s conventional submarines, artillery and tanks are sold all over the world. Japan¡¯s conventional submarines and anti-submarine capabilities are also among the best. It has been more than ten years since Li Zhongyi became the ruling king. In the past ten years or so, Li Zhongyi has painstakingly cultivated only more than 300 new disciples. "However, after these more than 300 people were sent to various military states as academic officers, the development of the new learning made a qualitative leap. After the academic officer took office, the students who came to study did not have much to talk about. This is because the majority of scholars have studied Confucian classics for a lifetime, but they still can't turn around for a while. "However, Li Zhongyi was well prepared, and he promulgated the subsidy law for new schools early. In other words, in addition to free food and accommodation, all students who start a new school will also receive two dollars per month. Objectively speaking, except for Kaifeng and a few dozen major cities, in the general central and western military states, as long as you save a little money, the usual money is enough for a family of three for a month. This is mainly because there are too many grain stocks, and the price of grain is as low as three cents a liter, about 1.25 jin. In addition, after the regional bidding system was adopted for salt, the price of salt also dropped significantly. The devil is in the details. When vegetable farmers in the suburbs delivered vegetables to the county town, they no longer had to pay any taxes, and economic laws soon came into play. ¡°In today¡¯s county, almost all within ten miles are vegetable fields. In other words, city people can also afford food! In the past, the poor people in the county only had one kind of food, which was pickled radish strips. If there was no continuous flow of food from overseas colonies, who would dare to turn all the fertile fields around the county into vegetable fields? The Chinese nation¡¯s memory of hunger has lasted for tens of thousands of years since ancient times. "There is no charge for studying, no charge for accommodation, and you have to spend money. Where can you find such good things?" The result was that none of the landlord¡¯s sons came, and the children from the poor families cried and shouted to come to school. The new credits are divided into primary school and middle school. The primary school system lasts for five years. It mainly focuses on literacy and simple mathematical knowledge such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Middle school is also a five-year system. It is mainly about being able to skillfully draft official documents, master various mathematical, physical and chemical formulas, and perform simple calculations. Middle school studies mainly focus on mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In terms of Chinese, you only need to be able to read the court decrees smoothly and correctly understand their meanings, and you can read them in standard Heluo Mandarin. The Koreans borne all the money and food provided by the imperial court to raise troops. The imperial court's money to support officials and the annual land and commercial taxes collected were more than enough. Food from overseas is continuously sent in, completely solving the fatal threat of hunger. The captured labor slaves worked hard to build bridges and roads every day under the threat of the supervisors' whips. The national strength of the entire empire can be said to be booming. Today¡¯s imperial examination is actually walking on two legs. For those who cling to Confucianism, Li Zhongyi also gave them a way out. The rural examinations and provincial examinations held once every three years continue to be maintained. However, those who pass the imperial examination, whether they are Jinshi, are Jinshi, or are from the same Jinshi, can only enter the Hanlin Academy and become officials who study Chinese studies and national history. ? But Xinxue is different. After the Xinxue Rites Examination, the Xinxue Jinshi went to various states, counties or the twelve yamen to serve as officials. This arrangement is based on the edict issued by Emperor Hongsheng, Li Zhongyi, on the ninth day of July in the eleventh year of Hongsheng. The edict made it very clear that starting from the first month of the twelfth year of Hongsheng's reign, when there were vacancies for officials in various places, they would all be selected from among the newly-learned Jinshi. Confucianism is good at pragmatism and cultivates hypocrites. ¡°Then let the Confucian scholars stay in the Hanlin Academy, revise history, and compile books. imperial court?It¡¯s not like you can¡¯t afford to support idle people? Although Confucian scholars have no power to restrain a chicken, the scholarly rebellion will not succeed even if it lasts for 100 million years. However, the destructive power of their intrigues is also amazing. "If you don't give Confucian scholars a way out and completely lose their future, they will try their best to hollow out the foundation of your rule. Under the imperial examination baton that only new scholars can obtain real power, no matter how stubborn the disciples of the old Confucianism are, they will change their ways sooner or later. In a word, new people have new methods, old people have old methods, and we cannot go to extremes and apply one size fits all! These are all easy to handle. The eldest son and the second son are growing up day by day, and their marriage should also be put on the agenda. According to the practice of past dynasties, the royal family was worried that there would not be many heirs, so they often let the princes get married when they were thirteen or fourteen years old. Now, Li Zhongyi¡¯s eldest son Li Jiyi is already twenty years old, and his second son Li Jixiao is also nineteen years old. Zuo Ziguang and Li Yanqing, as early as three years ago, in accordance with the emperor's secret instructions, had registered all the ladies from the official families of ninth rank and above. Some particularly outstanding young ladies even had their portraits secretly painted. In the past, after a young lady reached the age of fifteen, if she was not married yet, she had to pay five hundred coins to the government every year until she got married. After Li Zhongyi ascended the throne, he changed the regulations. Women who married privately under the age of eighteen had to pay thirty guan of money to the court every year. According to incomplete statistics, at least more than 500,000 women die in childbirth every year due to early marriage and backward delivery techniques. It is no exaggeration to say that having children is the biggest hurdle for women in this era. What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. The emperor¡¯s eldest son is already nineteen years old and has not yet got married. This shows that the emperor must be serious. Li Zhongyi hoped that women would marry later and have children later. From the officialdom to the private sector, they quickly accepted the new custom of women not getting married until they were eighteen years old. Unlike Li Zhongyi, the good concubine Tang Shuyi was worried to death. "My son is so old and yet he is not married yet. How can a mother not get angry in a hurry?" "However, if the emperor does not express his position, who dares to talk too much? The princes have been taught by the emperor himself since they were very young, and the mother can hardly get involved. Li Yanqing stood on the side of the dragon case, looking down at the gold bricks on the ground in the palace, silently waiting for the emperor's instructions. On Li Zhongyi¡¯s dragon case, there are three exquisite painted portraits of ladies. He lowered his head and examined it for a long time. He didn't know what he thought of, so he asked Li Yanqing: "According to you, Liu Yaoniang's mother is a woman with a loose mouth?" Li Yanqing's scalp felt numb. What was he doing? Have you ever said this? Does he dare to say such a thing? It was about the biological mother of the candidate for the eldest son of the emperor. Even Li Yanqing, a powerful police official, would not dare to gossip about her. "Back to the emperor, she once publicly said that the eldest son of the emperor likes her daughter-in-law. There were several marquises and duchess present at the time, and I have already made a list of them, which is at the back of the secret report." Li Yanqing explained carefully. After a while. Li Zhongyi glanced at Li Yanqing, who was a little aggrieved. Hey, he just wanted to beat Li Yanqing on purpose. Recently, corruption cases involving high-ranking officials have been exposed in the Police Temple in Kaifeng Prefecture. Absolute power will inevitably lead to corruption. Li Zhongyi, the supreme person in the world, is already very self-disciplined. After he ascended the throne, he neither built extensive palaces nor was extravagant, but he also had a bad habit of collecting beauties. Kaifeng Police Temple is the largest branch of the Imperial Police Temple. The total population within its jurisdiction, including the floating population, must have exceeded one million. As we all know, the greater the power, the harder it is to withstand the temptation of power-for-money transactions and power-sex transactions. In just six months, under the strong supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, five senior officials in the Kaifeng Police Temple were arrested for corruption. Seeing that the emperor actually smiled brightly, Li Yanqing's heart pounded, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly. The emperor was really angry with him! "Right under my nose, this bitch, in just one year, bought eight mansions in the center of Kaifeng City, plus more than one million yuan. Li Yanqing, tell me, you are How do you supervise them?" The emperor looked at Li Yanqing with a smile. Li Yanqing was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he immediately knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and said with tears streaming down his face: "I am all confused, thinking that they are old subordinates who have followed me for many years, and have relaxed their restraints. To be honest, some of them are The minister had vaguely heard of the incident, and there was no one who turned a blind eye all the time.Really take care of it ruthlessly. " "Well, you are a sensible person and know that I like to hear the truth. "The brighter Li Zhongyi's smile became, the more Li Yanqing was scared to death, and his whole body shook into chaff. "Humans are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless? I also always protect your calves. "Li Zhongyi said with a smile, "But listen carefully, I will never tolerate the moths that hollow out the empire. " "Yes, I am confused. I miss my old feelings too much and am not willing to punish them harshly." "Li Yanqing's attitude of admitting his mistake was very upright. "Well, they are very greedy. What should be done depends on the national law. It's you who took the initiative to borrow money from a bank to buy a small house. That's right. "Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that although Li Yanqing liked to protect his shortcomings, he did not dare to reach out to get black money. "Look back, you go to my private treasury, get 500,000 yuan, and pay off the money you borrowed to buy the house. "After Li Zhongyi dropped these words, he raised his legs and left. Li Yanqing, who was kneeling, did not dare to get up, and kept lying on the ground in an orderly manner. The emperor has not kicked his ass yet, which means that the emperor Not really relieved!
