Chapter 748: Educational Development
readx;?“ What about the casualties?" Yi Xingchen asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Fifteen of our troops were killed and thirty-six wounded. After the enemy attacked, they took the wounded with them, so that our troops could not judge their casualties. Yan En reported the actual situation, but it was clearly unsatisfactory.
"This is a shame!" Yi Xingchen's face suddenly became ugly because of this.
This was a year ago.
Because the army of the Xinghua Empire invaded Yunzhou, although many people, after seeing the kings and sages of the Xinghua Empire and the non-support of the Xia court, gradually began to accept the new policy rule of the Xinghua Empire, but there are still many people in Yunzhou who have not been able to completely abandon the old ideas, and are still ready to move and want to restore the status of the old country.
About a year ago, in the Yunzhou area, I don't know when, a spontaneously emerging underground professional organization -- the "Black Dragon Society" -- was specially aimed at expelling Xinghua people and sergeants. As a secret society, all the relevant information of the Black Dragon Society is completely nowhere to be found, where is the center of their organization, who the specific members are, how many members there are, and even who their leader is, no one knows at all.
However, this Black Dragon Society is like a pervasive place, even if it is hiding in the shadows, it can still cause destructive power that cannot be underestimated, especially in the recent past, the Black Dragon Society in Yunzhou seems to have started a series of terrorist attacks in a very planned way, which makes people unguardable and terrifying.
Their destructive power seems to have no worries, as long as the other party is subordinate to the Xinghua Empire, they will deal with it regardless of its size. After many attacks, the Black Dragon Society not only attacked the officials of the Xinghua Empire, but also especially targeted the Xinghua officers, and even in the end, the situation developed to a somewhat unreasonable - even if the other party was from Yunzhou, as long as they showed their closeness to the Xinghua official, they all became the targets of the Black Dragon Society.
As a result, for a long time, the entire Yunzhou was panicked, and many people, even if they originally wanted to return to the Xinghua government or get close to them, had unavoidable concerns.
Therefore, if the Xinghua Empire wants to subdue the Yunzhou region, the Black Dragon Society is definitely a great tumor that must be removed for them.
But this is not an easy thing to do.
The Black Dragon Society is too secretive, as secret as an underground ghost, they can grasp the movements of the Xinghua people at any time, very clear and accurate, but on the contrary, the Xinghua people can't even find the roots of these poisonous weeds that grow in the shadows, in order to deal with the Black Dragon Society, the Yunzhou Xinghua Army Command has planned several encirclement and suppression, but the results are not great, and they are always helpless.
But what makes Yi Xingchen even more intolerable now is that the people of the Black Dragon Society still dare to intensify their efforts and actually target the Xinghua army!
Obviously, the people of the Black Dragon Society are consciously fledgling and have enough strength to be afraid of the Xinghua Army, which is enough to compete with the Xinghua Army. What's more, Yi Xingchen knows that this is their beginning, and once they are allowed to benefit, I am afraid that they will only be more unscrupulous in the future.
If the Xinghua Army can't effectively attack the Black Dragon Society this time, it will not only cause the Xinghua Army stationed in Yunzhou to suffer losses, but more importantly, the hearts of the people of Yunzhou, which the Xinghua Empire has managed to relocate, may also be lost. After all, with the example of the Black Dragon Society as a precedent, the people of Yunzhou would only believe that they did not have the necessary need to submit to a new court.
This is definitely not the result that Yi Xingchen and the people of the Xinghua Empire want to see.
Thinking of the various hazards behind this, Yi Xingchen's face became more and more gloomy, like the haze of a storm approaching.
Yi Xingchen had already decided in his heart that he would be ruthless! Even if he couldn't eradicate these evil obstacles at once, he would let them suffer heavy blows and not survive.
"Draw a team of 100 people from the Royal Guard, select soldiers with actual combat experience, and go to Yunzhou to exterminate the Black Dragon Society. Yi Xingchen said.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Yan En wrote it down.
Yi Xingchen thought for a moment and continued to add: "In Yunzhou, a ban on martial arts is implemented. With the exception of civilian knives, ordinary civilians are not allowed to carry controlled weapons. In addition, professionals can carry weapons, but professionals must register with various government offices in Yunzhou and obtain a legal weapon card. Within the prescribed time, those who carry weapons without a license will be arrested, and those who resist can be killed. ”
As soon as Yan En heard it, he knew that the system that Yi Xingchen said was obviously similar to the gun licenses of the countries of Blue Mercury, but regardless of whether Yi Xingchen borrowed it or not, Yan En agreed with his suggestion very much.
A group of professionals without weapons is obviously easier to deal with than a group of professionals with weapons, not to mention, those professionals of the Black Dragon Society also have favorable environmental conditions for hiding in the shadows, and if this requirement is not added, it is difficult to clearly distinguish them from ordinary people and ordinary professionals.
In other words, Yi Xingchen didn't want the people of the Black Dragon Society to continue to have so many natural barriers, and these natural barriers were also good for their invisibility talismans.
As long as this requirement is openly spread, it can have an immediate effect. Most of the professionals who are willing to register with the police are people with bad intentions. Even if it's a mistake, it won't be much of a problem. In fact, even if the professionals did not want to register, as long as the professionals did not take the initiative to use force and did not carry weapons, the Xinghua Empire did not want to arrest them.
Yan En said: "Your Majesty, I immediately sent a telegram to Qin Zhengguo and them, informing them to implement the system of legal weapons possession documents. Yan En believes that as long as this system is implemented, the situation in Yunzhou can be controlled.
"Don't be anxious, the soldiers of the Royal Guard will bring the news to Qin Zhengguo. This system requires the cooperation of the police department and the army, plus the Royal Guard, which specializes in dealing with professionals, to be effective. Moreover, we must guard against all anti-Xinghua organizations such as the Black Dragon Society to prevent them from fighting back. A gang of people who dare to attack the army, you can't expect them to sit back. Yi Xingchen said.
"Yes, the minister understands!" said Yan En.
"We, the Xinghua Empire, are also going to set up our Professionals Guild, and the Professionals Guild will issue professional badges to show the difference. The round-up of the Black Dragon Society, the implementation of the legal possession of weapons certificate, requires the cooperation of the cabinet. You first go and inform the Royal Guard, select a group of qualified soldiers, and prepare to send them to Yunzhou. Yi Xingchen continued.
Yan En said: "I'll arrange it immediately. Yan En hurried away.
Yan En sent a telegram to the back of the line, back and forth several times.
Yi Xingchen saw Yan En running back and forth, so he simply ordered him to go back to Xinghua City and select personnel.
Yi Xingchen led the team and continued to Xilin City.
The emperor's team arrived at Xilin City, and the city guard led a team of officials at the city gate to greet the emperor and his party.
Although Yi Xingchen doesn't like to be polite, the emperor needs to maintain his prestige in front of the people.
The city guard of Xilin City arranged for Yi Xingchen to live in the city guard mansion, and Yi Xingchen was as kind as a stream, and he did not refuse. Under normal circumstances, Yi Xingchen inspects imperial cities and lives in the mansions of officials or supervisors.
After a short break, Yi Xingchen was in the lobby, listening to the officials of Xilin City report on Xilin City's policy address.
This inspection of Xilin City was Yi Xingchen's temporary idea, he wanted to understand Xilin City and understand the idea of the imperial policy.
"I want to know if there are any problems with education in Xilin City?" Yi Xingchen asked.
"Your Majesty, the Empire's education policy is truly a benevolent government in the world. In accordance with the education policy of the empire, Xilin City established three primary schools and one middle school in the city. After the establishment of the primary school, it was strictly ordered that the residents of the city, but all school-age children, must enter the primary school to study the Xinghua language and writing, mathematics, and legal system for five years. After graduating from primary school for five years, students with excellent grades can enter secondary school, and the government will subsidize students' tuition and living expenses, and carry out re-education to learn the basics of Chinese, mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Most of the officials in the Xilin City government must have graduated from high school...... "The director of the Xilin City Education Bureau reported.
"How many middle school graduates can be trained for the empire every year?" Yi Xingchen asked again.
"Every year, Xilin High School is able to train one hundred and twenty qualified graduates for the Empire. The director of the Xilin City Education Bureau said proudly.
"Only one hundred and twenty qualified graduates?" Yi Xingchen said in surprise, he remembered that there were hundreds of thousands of people in the Xilin area, how could there be such a small number of students.
"Less?" said the Secretary for Education in astonishment.
"The empire needs a lot of talent, to build and develop. Without talent, the empire cannot develop. Yi Xingchen paused and continued: "Are you ignoring the national children outside Xilin City?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to ignore the children of the people outside the city, but they don't want their children to go to school. Seeing the emperor's questioning, the director of the Xilin Education Bureau panicked and hurriedly defended.
"Why don't they want their children to go to school?" Yi Xingchen asked.
"Your Majesty, there are three reasons. The first reason is that most of the people in the suburbs are peasants, who depend on the land for food, and they think that it is useless for the children of peasants to study, and it is better to learn to farm at home from an early age. The second reason is that many villages are far away from cities, which makes it difficult for many children to go to school. Xilin City lacked funds, and there was no way to build more schools and dormitories. The third reason is the lack of teachers. The director of education wiped his sweat, he was really worried that the emperor thought he was incompetent.
"Do you have any measures from the cabinet to these issues?" Yi Xingchen continued to ask. He would like to know what the Cabinet was doing to address the situation.
"The cabinet has a five-year plan to expand at least two primary schools in Xilin City and establish a national library, which is a free and open reading library, and any citizen of the Xinghua Empire can enter to read and study. The Secretary for Education said.
Yi Xingchen nodded, he still knew a lot about the empire's finances. There is no problem with the handling of the cabinet. In fact, most of the wealth earned by the Xinghua Group was used to sustain the development of the empire's industry and the food and clothing of the people, and the investment in other areas was limited. The Cabinet still insists on investing in education, and the development of education is already good.
In fact, Yi Xingchen thinks that he has neglected education. When the country was first founded, Yi Xingchen attached great importance to education, but the degree of attention was not as good as the military and the economy. A new country needs a strong military force to defend the country, economic development, and stability in the people's livelihood.
Nowadays, if the empire needs to continue to develop, it will inevitably increase education and continue to make blood for the country. How can an empire develop without fresh blood?
Yi Xingchen disagreed, every time the factory lacked workers, he had to hire workers in Blue Mercury. A small number of workers are willing to stay in the Xinghua Empire for the rest of their lives, but there are still many workers whose loyalty is limited, and they want to return to Blue Mercury's hometown if they make money, which takes a long time to cultivate, and involves a lot of human and financial resources in the empire (sending troops to guard factories and building independent facilities for Blue Mercury workers). )。
"Okay, I see, you step aside. Yi Xingchen turned his head and glanced at his secretary Wei Wenyuan.
Wei Wenyuan nodded, indicating that he would record the words of the Secretary for Education.
Yi Xingchen then asked about the agricultural ...... of Xilin City
Two hours later, the briefing of the officials in Westforest City ended.
Yi Xingchen compiled some suggestions and sent them to the Imperial Cabinet.
Of course, Yi Xingchen did not think that there was something wrong with the administration of the imperial cabinet. The main thing he suggested was the issue of education.
The Imperial Cabinet continued to expand the primary school, and Yi Xingchen agreed. However, he believes that it is not appropriate to build more primary schools in the city, but to place the expanded primary schools outside the city, so that the primary schools are as close as possible to the densely populated villages. At the same time, Yi Xingchen also made a ruthless effort to ask the cabinet to enforce the policy of educating school-age children.
With regard to the education of school-age children, it is strictly stipulated that the parents of children shall not prevent children from receiving education. The police have the right to detain the child's parents or elders if they interfere with or harm the child's right to education. Not only that, but even if a child voluntarily gives up his or her education, the parents are punished, fined, or detained. If the crime is serious, it can be sentenced.
According to Yi Xingchen's logic, the children of the empire began to receive education at the age of four, and children at this stage could not create any wealth for the family, they received education, and the primary school would provide them with two meals a day, which would not cause any burden to the children's families. No family of a school-age child should prevent a child from receiving an education.
The empire cultivates talents for the development of the empire. To prevent children from receiving education is to prevent empires from becoming strong.
The emperor's telegram was quickly placed on the desks of the cabinet ministers.
Prime Minister Eli convened his cabinet ministers, carefully considered the emperor's proposal, and revised the education policy.
Not long after, the Imperial Cabinet issued a new education order: the four major cities of the Empire, mainly Xilin City, Nantu City, Beisha City, and Wangdong City, continue to build primary schools under construction. However, the major cities need to build three to five more small and simple primary schools in the countryside on the outskirts of the city...... The head of every village outside the city has the obligation to raise the level of education in his village. (To be continued.) )
