For the people of the Hakodate Commission, from the evacuation of the mouth of the Oolong River, the Battle of Aihui was over. When they returned to the Northland on the first day of June 1860 and rested for a while, everyone began to be busy with the future of the Northland again.

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow down to become king."

It's easy to say, but who gets on fire knows.

At the end of 1859, the Hakodate government had jurisdiction over only about 78,000 people, including Ezo and Northern Ezo.

And what is the situation in Fusang at this time, the fire is so hot that it is about to burn to the beams of the house!

According to the trade agreements with other countries, from June 2, 1859 (July 1, 1859) in the 6th year of Ansei, Nagasaki, Kanagawa (Yokohama), and Hakodate were opened to foreign countries.

This box hall is also an open port, just in front of the eyelids, all the situation is in the eyes, everyone thinks that the big thing is not good, "eat jujube pills".

Tokugawa Saiaki, the old lord of Mito, once put forward the "Five Evils of Commerce":

"What is imported from another country is useless, but what is exported from Fuso is useful. What is useful is easy to use what is useless. is the first evil;

Increasing exports will lead to insufficient use of Fuso, which is the second evil;

Insufficient material use will cause price boiling, which is the third evil;

The profiteers are actually a very small number of businessmen, and the people are widely harmed, which is the fourth evil;

Even if the export goods are exchanged for gold and silver, it is still difficult to make up for the lost part, resulting in people not making ends meet. is the fifth evil. ”

High, really high! That's too accurate!

"Eat jujube pills", now from the Zhixiu to the box hall of the literate Shengdou Xiaomin, now everyone has figured out the taste.

The trade between the industrial and agricultural countries can still have a good result with the tariff agreement of Fuso today!

Anyway, everyone who understands it is worried all day long, "Even if the foreign trade of Hakodate is better, but Fuso is not just playing." ”

According to the words in "Dream of Red Mansions", this is called "cooking oil with heat and flowers." Then it was to eat all the birds and throw themselves into the forest, and the land was so clean"--Naoxiu yelled next to him, "Which melon baby passed on the private reading!" ”

"Don't be afraid, you can't finish it, in fact, there is a way out for Fuso."

The train runs fast because of the headband. This matter has to be solved by people, otherwise people's hearts will be scattered.

How should the modernization of a country go?

This question Naohide can't answer - haha.

But there was one successful example in his memory, and that was Prussia.

In 1512, the Teutonic Order was secularized and the Duchy of Prussia (SIA) was officially established.

In 1701, Frederick III, the Elector of Brandenburg, in exchange for the title of king in exchange for the Habsburg dynasty in support of Osmaga, declared war on the Bourbon dynasty of Boldenburg, beginning the illustrious history of the Kingdom of Prussia for more than 200 years.

After years of the Seven Years' War, England officially became the supremacy of the seas and moved towards an empire on which the sun never set, but at the same time, Prussia was officially regarded as one of the great powers on its own.

By the time of the death of Frederick II in 1786, Prussia's economy had recovered well, and since then it has been wearing the hat of a great power, or a small power.

Around 1850, England was the first to complete its first industrialization on its own soil – the beginning was chronological, the basic completion was 1840, and the complete success was in 1850.

France and Prussia followed, completed around 1860.

As for the rice people, the first industrialization in the north is thought to have been completed around 1880.

Unlike the Anglo-Buddhists, who had vast colonies and the rice people had vast territories rich in products, Prussia's congenital conditions were not bad, but they were definitely lame in comparison - similar to Fuso, it was rich in coal resources in the early days, but in the long run, all kinds of resources were insufficient, especially the lack of iron ore and the inability to self-sufficiency in grain.

The early kingdom of Prussia, before 1883, did not have any decent colonial areas, the fleet was not strong at all, and the ocean trade was similar

to lag behind.

Perhaps there are many interpretations of the rise of Prussia, what is the general environment favorable, its own efforts, the emergence of talents, good fighting, seizing good opportunities, etc., but one is universally recognized, that is, Prussia's education leads the world - from the years, it has basically perfected compulsory education.

In 1619, the Duchy of Prussia promulgated the Compulsory Education Regulations, and in 1763 the Kingdom of Prussia promulgated the first Compulsory Education Act.

In contrast to Prussia, England made compulsory education in 1870 – in 1891 it made primary education free.

The full implementation of this system in France was marked by the Ferry Act of February 1879, which introduced seven years of free and compulsory education from 1882.

The first compulsory education law was enacted in 1825, and the first public elementary school appeared in 1834, free education, but due to different state ordinances, it was not until 1919 that the last state, Alabama, enacted the compulsory education law.

Although, Prussia took the lead in introducing compulsory education because of the needs of the Reformation at that time. But in any case, it is better to unintentionally insert willows and willows, or to taste the sweetness and strengthen the faith, anyway, Prussia, which insists on the green mountains and does not relax, can catch up from behind.

Of course, there was a geographical factor to Prussia's rise – although ocean trade was carried out very modestly, the Zollverein Union, which it formed, took advantage of its convenient location in the middle of Europa and was the second largest share of world trade among the great powers in 1850, accounting for 14.4%. In the same period, the proportions of English, Francis and Mi were only 23.3%, 10.3% and 8.8%.

However, Naoxiu and the others can't manage so much, so they still lay down the sparrows first and then talk about the wild geese, anyway, they have long recognized the path of education.

"Young and ambitious, the young chicks have high ambitions."

Although the ambition is high, there are too few people in this northland. Everyone has worked hard for nearly ten years since 1850, and there are a lot of achievements, but in terms of the whole Fuso, this is a drop in the bucket. Let's talk about "ten years of educating people", do the math, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, right?

"Who said you can't stab someone without a gun?" Naoxiu smiled wickedly.

There is a saying that "the book is the same text, the car is on the same track, and the line is the same", and the earliest advocate was the Yingzheng brother who "if he doesn't hit him, he will come to the forehead".

From the White Lord to the Hakodate, since the merger of the North Ezo Land and the Ezo Land, the education expenditure in 1859 was 155,000 yen, which is equivalent to the same amount of Tenpo Small Judgment, which is a huge amount of money!

Although all the money was spent on the local people, no one said that "books can't be used anywhere else."

Besides, there is a capital export in later generations, and others can do it, so why can't the box pavilion do it?

Education output, give me a walk!

Naohide secretly went to sea in 1846, but before that, he still had an important identity, that is, Mr. Private School - of course, his contribution was mainly in the beginning, playing the role of noodle yeast.

During his time overseas, Edo had Mr. Tanan, Mr. Genpo and Murata Nagatoshi, Osaka had Mr. Ogata Hongan, Tosa had Yoshida Kanwei Motoyoshi, Uwajima had Ninomiya Keisa, Nagasaki had Oguri Tadashun, Saga had Rangakuryo and Windmill Group, Higo had Yokoi Konan, and even Satsuma had Saigo and Okubo.

Through the channels of Lan Yi and Lan scholars, the early Lanshu enlightenment books compiled by Zhixiu and others have now been widely circulated in Fusang - of course, this "widespread" is a bit exaggerated, and Lanxue was not yet a prominent study at that time.

But didn't the black ship come in 1853, and after that, the shogunate released the Lanxue prison, so these enlightenment books did not circulate - it is normal that the old version did not circulate, because there was a better version at this time.

At that time, Naohide already had his own territory, and he and his companions were working at full speed, printing the ticket "White Master's Book" while printing a new edition of the enlightenment book.

During Naohide's stay in Mizhou, in addition to pretending to be a ghost to deceive the rich and make money, he also engaged in scientific research and spent a lot of money editing books - in the future, because of his meritorious work in promoting culture, Naohide, Yingzi, Toranosuke, and Gakujiro were posthumously awarded the honor of Miren. Of course, at any time, it was mainly to win over, but Naohide and others really didn't lose

Heart.

In 1849, when Naohide and others returned to Fuso, the children's books of his Bantan Book Company had already begun to become popular in Beimi and rushed to Europa.

After returning to Fuso, absorbing the improvements of the previous families, Hakujo Gogaku continued to improve the content of the book under the auspices of Naohide and Takano Nagaei, who was known as Yoshida Yuetoku.

In 1853, after the visit of the black boat, the shogunate released the restrictions on Rangaku, and the white master version of the Orchid enlightenment books began to become popular in Fuso—of course, in order not to cause any trouble, these books are not marked as from the white master of the township.

These books are available in both hardcover and simplified editions.

The hardcover version is richly illustrated, while the simplified version is less pictures and more words - this is taking into account the printing level of Fuso at this time.

But it turns out that you can't underestimate anyone.

In the Edo period, there was a type of "Yomiuri tile plate", which was similar to the tabloids and leaflets of later generations, and used ceramic printing.

The shogunate did not have copyright protection regulations, and profiteers from all over the country found that the market for Lanxue enlightenment books was huge, so they went to sea one after another. The tile version is a little rougher, but under the temptation of money, it is actually printed in hardcover - who made the simplified version not easy to sell.

I really thought that Naoxiu and others had been working hard in the Northland, and the Lanxue enlightenment books everywhere in Fusang were the tentacles of the white lord.

"Books with the same text", this is an important advantage of East Asian culture - by the way, this has nothing to do with Confucianism, when Yingzheng was in a frenzy, Legalism was the prominent scholar of the Qin State.

Anyway, Naoxiu doesn't have the hobbies and desires of being the first in the world, and there are no private goods in this Lanxue enlightenment book, so the shogunate and the daimyo everywhere are not strictly controlled.

But in fact, there are still private goods, and science is the biggest private goods among them - the scientific spirit must be questioned because of falsification.

You can't make soap with enlightenment books, you can't make a fortune, but if you want to make a fortune, you can buy advanced books, Bai Zhuxiangxue, these years to benefit the spirit of the township, desperately printed books, and then jumped off the building to sell - Westerners later found out, looking everywhere for who harmed others and did not benefit themselves, but the time point of the final discovery was too late, and there was no way to help Naoxiu and others at that time.

Speaking of which, Fuso's literacy rate is impressive.

Later generations said that the literacy rate in the Edo period was 40%.

You can pull it, people who make health care products don't dare to blow it like this!

Naohide now understands where this literacy rate came from - being able to know his own name is considered literate, can such a literacy rate not be high?

After the Restoration, a system of compulsory primary education was established in 1872, and the enrolment rates thereafter were:

The annual value of the year is %.

Not to mention the temple house, there is no leakage, most of them have been changed to elementary schools.

This enrolment rate was less than 40% in 1877, and where did the same percentage of literacy come from, is it the universal education of home? But the child's father and mother are illiterate, so they shouldn't be able to help.

According to some sources, 3 percent of the common people (peasants) could read official documents at the end of the Edo period, and 1.4 percent could read the announcements of the six and four percent.

Considering that the literacy rate of samurai, merchants, and townspeople was higher, it is generally consistent with modern research, which was rarely more than 10% in agricultural societies at that time, and the literacy rate for men in most rural areas was probably only a few percentage points.

Of course, the emphasis on education in East Asian culture is an advantage, but Fusang does not have imperial examinations, and farmers grit their teeth and spend money to make their children read and write, is it for farming? It's completely unreasonable.

However, Naohide can't change this backwardness, he can only implement free compulsory education in the early stage of the White Lord Worship Office, and now in the Hakodate Office - for this, he vomited blood, not to mention the income from the gold mine, and also started the two world-famous hidden treasures that he knew.

In any case, anyway, Hakodate is now preparing to rely on books and education to disrupt the end of the scene.

Moreover, didn't the shogunate's big old Iyi sweep head hang up this spring, and now Naohide has also prepared a big move, that is, scientific and technological output and cultural output.

Presumably, if these three tricks are used together, they will definitely be able to call the wind and rain.
