Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.

Fang Kong Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is reporting on the number of new schools to be built this year and the funds for running schools, while Li Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Education, is adding on the side.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong built tens of thousands of schools in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and education in various states and counties flourished, and the first batch of primary school graduates who had undergone six years of compulsory education had been produced.

Zhu Cihong put down the article and said seriously: "Education is very important, and there is no room for the slightest contempt, all the chaos will be conveyed to the Ministry of Finance, and all will be approved!" ”

He added: "In addition to the need for new schools north of the Yangtze River, 10,000 more schools will be added to the south of the Yangtze River to ensure that there is at least one primary school in each township!" ”

During the Meiji Restoration, more than 50,000 elementary schools were established in Japan.

According to the social situation after the Curtain Movement in Japan at that time, it was not much stronger than the current Ming Dynasty, even if it was more than 200 years later.

This educational innovation will not only improve the cultural quality of the people, but also strengthen the social system of the highest power centralization.

Ideologically, it propagated the ideas of imperial road, loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, deified the absolute authority of Emperor Tianwu, and paved the way for future foreign expansion......

In the military, Zhu Cihong issued a conscription order, all adult men over the age of 20 must serve in the military, regardless of origin, regardless of disciples, regardless of men and women, meritorious people will be rewarded!

Three years of general service and five years of reserve service, for a total of eight years.

Once implemented, the full mobilization of Daming's combat troops can reach one million.

All this is based on good local grassroots management, and without local grassroots innovation, many policies cannot be implemented.

In the new policy, the most important thing is to attach importance to science and technology, and Zhu Cihong's reward for scientific and technological talents has risen to a higher level than that of military generals.

The atmosphere of non-governmental scientific research has also been hot, because every year Zhu Cihong will publish a "prince question" in the name of the crown prince, which will be published in the Huangming Times, and the answers will be selected from all over the country, and the enthusiasm for national research will be actively guided.

Today's "Prince Question" has been upgraded to "Son of Heaven Question", and the rewards are also increasing.

In order to solve these problems, a large number of groups have been created in various places, and the atmosphere of natural science research has been created, not only the common people are thinking hard about the answers, but even the researchers and academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences are also studying and thinking about these seemingly simple, but extremely profound questions.

The earliest problem of the earth's gravity was finally solved by a person named Niu Pen, who first proposed the concept of the earth's gravity, forty years before Newton, and proved the existence of the earth's gravity through a large number of experiments.

Mr. Niu Bi also believes that the moon is subject to the gravitational pull of the sun in addition to the gravitational pull of the earth, thus explaining the two equilibrium equivalence that has long been discovered in the movement of the moon;

In addition, Niu Bi also explained the motion orbit of comets and the tidal phenomena on the earth, and predicted according to his own law of gravitation: in addition to the common sense of the five planets of the solar system transmitted by Tessie, there should be a moving planet in the distant starry sky.......

When he first heard such an advanced academic question, Zhu Cihong was shocked, personally summoned the eldest brother named Niu Bi, talked with him cordially, chatted with him on mechanics for half an hour, and wrote a lot of formulas and derivations of gravitational motion.

Mr. Niu Bi suddenly realized again, and bowed his head.

After a commercial blow, Zhu Cihong smiled and said nothing, gave him the title of academician of the Department of Mechanics of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and encouraged him to make persistent efforts to study calculus......

Because in a few years, Newton and Leibniz would begin to build calculus.

In order to avoid detours, Zhu Cihong occasionally used his pen name to give some tips and guidance to these high-end issues in the Huangming Times......

In the last sentence of the "New Deal Edict", Zhu Cihong said to the subjects of the world: "The great cause is full of difficulties and dangers, this is a change that the Ming Dynasty has never had, I should lead the people, swear to the gods of heaven and earth, to determine the state affairs, and establish the way to protect the people, you must also work together to build a strong mind!" ”

As soon as the "New Deal Edict" was promulgated, it immediately attracted the attention of all parties in the Ming Dynasty and became a topic that all parties must talk about after dinner.

Here, some people are happy and some are worried, and the people who are worried are some landed landlords, but although many people are dissatisfied, they are helpless, at least the court did not take away their own land, but they are not allowed to buy and sell.

Although the land endowment into the mu was paid more than before, fortunately, there was less exploitation of the officials, and the new officials and masters handed over honestly one by one, like a stunned youth, and they didn't dare to accept the money......

In this new policy, Zhu Cihong not only increased the administrative budget, solved the pressure on officials to hire masters, carriages and other expenses, but also increased the income of all officials in the Ming Dynasty by three times, and changed grain to silver.

According to the conversion, the salary of a seven-rank county is equivalent to a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan in later generations, and a cabinet minister is equivalent to a monthly income of more than 100,000 yuan......

In this way, Ming officials who do not need to buy a house, as long as their lives are not very luxurious, are enough for the family's expenses.

Because the Ming Dynasty has a house purchase restriction order: "Where there are officials, they are not allowed to buy a field house in the place where they are appointed, and the violator will be punished with fifty lashes, dismissed, and the field house will be an official." ”

In other words, if an official dares to buy a house in the place where he works, let the court know that he will first strip off his butt and beat him for fifty boards, be dismissed from public office, and finally confiscate the house you bought......

Zhu Cihong flipped through the notebooks sent from all over the country, and at the same time he was in a good mood, but he was also a little worried.

The reason for his worry was that all the music books in various places were singing hymns and blindly reporting the good news, and he was worried that the officials below would tell lies and fool himself.

The reason why Zhu Cihong was in a good mood was that the landlords in some places really couldn't sit still and plotted to rebel!

It's good to rebel!

Give away land money for free and relieve the local financial pressure that is waiting to be rebuilt!

The Governor's Office of the Northern Army reported that a young and promising landlord in Cao County, Shandong Province, had made an appointment with several landlords to crowdfund a rebellion, and the money and grain were prepared, and the uprising was extinguished by the local city defense army, and the seized money and grain land were not counted.

Zhu Cihong put down the report, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he sincerely admired: "These are good people!" ”

If it weren't for the fear of bad influence, Zhu Cihong would have wanted to issue an edict to encourage the landlords to rebel......

In recent days, Zhu Cihong has been most interested in reading the miscellaneous comments of the "Huangming Times", where some private experts point out the country, interpret and express their views on the new policy, and sometimes put forward some suggestions.

Several of these selected comments won Zhu Cihong's appreciation.

"Break the old bad habits, based on the justice of heaven and earth, enrich the country and strengthen the army!"

"I, the Ming Dynasty, have established a centralized new imperial court headed by Emperor Tianwu, and I will work together to develop the economy and expand the territory to revitalize the country!"

"Tianwu New Deal, civil and military division, south out of the sea, out of another world!"

Most of the miscellaneous comments are mainly blood-hot scribes, and the slogans shouted are more energetic than the generals, and Zhu Cihong is deeply grateful.

Suddenly, he saw a miscellaneous comment, not from the military and political aspects like others, but from the rare unpopular education aspect.
