At the end of November, a large manor in Foshan was renovated by the construction team, which will become the first technical school in the land of China, and at the same time as the establishment of the technical school, the enrollment of foreign students began, the first batch of 300 students, aged 17 to 19 years old, will open in late January next year, and the school system will only be half a year, without any tuition.

Half a year is a short period of study, which means that the students have a heavy learning task, they have to learn common words and simple mathematics, and they also have to learn professional and technical knowledge, as long as they pass the graduation examination, they can enter the People's Army factory work, which is a job with a higher income than farming.

The first batch of students will give priority to the sons or grandsons of factory skilled workers, and the children of artisan families will know some things, and they are more suitable to enter the factory to become a skilled worker, which is very wasteful to use for farming.

When the skilled workers learned that there was such a good opportunity, they signed up for their school-age sons or grandchildren, and literacy and arithmetic were the focus.

The number of applicants was greatly exceeded, and the official in charge of enrollment had no choice but to ask the superior for instructions on what to do, upload it at the first level, and finally Fang Nan made an instruction: draw lots to determine the quota.

Drawing lots to determine the number of students is the most appropriate method at present, and this is only the first batch of students to be recruited, and the KPA will build more technical schools to recruit more students, and the duration of the school is only half a year, and it will not be long before students are recruited from peasant families who have no experience.

Time flies quickly, a new year arrives, this year is the nineteenth year of Wanli, 1591 AD, and there are less than two years left in the three-year truce period.

In late January, Foshan No. 1 Technical School officially opened, the first batch of 300 students will be taught by the teachers, as long as the graduation assessment is passed after half a year, they can enter the factory to work, thinking about the salary of skilled workers, the students are full of anticipation into the intense study life.

At the beginning of February, the first batch of six steam machine tools of two types produced by Foshan Machinery Factory was sent to the new building of the arsenal, which no longer needs to be located by the river.

The main task of the first batch of six steam machine tools is to polish and rifle the inner wall of the barrel, compared with the hydraulic machine tool with the same function, the steam machine tool can be started all day, the work efficiency is relatively stable, the workers who originally operated the hydraulic machine tool can quickly operate the steam machine tool alone after giving a little time to get familiar with the new machine.

There will be more steam machine tools produced this year, at least half of the hydraulic machine tools in the Foshan Arsenal can be replaced, and when the output of steam machine tools expands next year, it will not take half a year to eliminate all the hydraulic machine tools.

In the blink of an eye, students from 8 to 900 primary schools across Guangdong have entered their third year of study, and by the end of this year, they will graduate, either enter the army, enter the government department, or become teachers, and can continue their studies at Guangzhou University.

These are more than 30,000 intellectuals, who are descendants of the People's Army, and can bring great help to the development of the People's Army.

The primary school system is only three years, the university education system is also only three years, and at the end of the year, hundreds of students at Guangzhou University are also facing graduation.

Like primary school graduates, college graduates also need to make arrangements, but there are relatively few college graduates, and there is no need to make arrangements in a hurry, and these hundreds of college graduates mainly enter various research institutes to become researchers, or stay at Guangzhou University to become teachers.

More than 30,000 elementary school students will graduate at once, and the number of students enrolled at Guangzhou University will also increase greatly, and in order to accommodate new students, Guangzhou University will also have to build a new building, and in three years, I am afraid that a new university will have to be built.

With the arrival of the new year, Fang Nan is more relaxed in handling government affairs than last year, the newly occupied four provinces have already been on the right track, Fang Nan only needs to make decisions on important matters, and other government affairs are similar to technical schools, type B steam engines and other things related to future development, this kind of thing can only be decided by Fang Nan, under Fang Nan's arrangement, the scientific and technological level of the People's Army will rise rapidly.

And Fang Nan's family, except for Hu Xiaoya, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's stomachs, there is still no movement, everything else is fine, the new year is coming, Fang Nan even feels that Zhu Yaojiang's senses for him are changing.

When Zhu Yaojiang had just entered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the two met, Zhu Yaojiang tried his best to hide his emotions towards Fang Nan, and Fang Nan could still feel that Zhu Yaojiang was extremely disgusted with him and wanted to kill him.

Fang Nan can also understand Zhu Yaojiang's feelings, he is the enemy of the Ming Court, the enemy of the Zhu family, but Zhu Yaojiang is the woman of the Zhu family, the relationship between the two is already hostile, but Zhu Yaojiang was forced to marry.

Zhu Yaojiang has been in the Dadu Governor's Mansion for a long time, and he is also used to the life of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and can talk to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao as a friend, but he is a little afraid of Hu Xiaoya, and his disgust and hatred for Fang Nan have always existed, and they may be slowly decreasing.

When the new year comes, this feeling is much more obvious, and Zhu Yaojiang even sometimes takes the initiative to talk to Fang Nan, vaguely showing a little worship.

This worship comes from the changes in the city of Guangzhou, from the changes in the lives of the people at the bottom, and from the description of Fang Nan by the big Qiao and Xiao Qiao sisters.

Fang Nan has brought too many changes to the People's Army's ruling area, and many ordinary people think that the Metropolitan Governor of the People's Army is an immortal descending (reincarnation) to rescue them, these suffering people, as Fang Nan's wife, Da Qiao Xiao Qiao knows more about Fang Nan.

It is not surprising that the more Fang Nan knows, the more he worships Fang Nan, but Zhu Yaojiang hated Fang Nan before, and now he has a little admiration.

It is not false to say that Fang Nan has no feelings for Zhu Yaojiang at all, Zhu Yaojiang's appearance is not inferior to Hu Xiaoya's Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and she has the identity of a princess, but Fang Nan is unwilling to accept a woman who has no feelings or even hatred as his wife, so he has always put Zhu Yaojiang aside.

Zhu Yaojiang has lived in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for almost a year, and he gets along day and night, if he has some feelings, Fang Nan doesn't mind taking Zhu Yaojiang away.

Maybe Zhu Yaojiang is really keeping himself away from the dispute between the Ming Dynasty and the People's Army, Zhu Yaojiang began to learn the simplified Chinese characters of the People's Army, read the "Common Sense" book, and if she doesn't understand, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao can teach her.

In fact, when Zhu Yaojiang lived in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Hu Xiaoya, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao's three daughters were ready to accept Zhu Yaojiang, as Fang Nan's women, they were the people who knew their husbands best, and understood that their husbands liked to fall in love over time, since Zhu Yaojiang lived in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, they didn't look up and looked down, and one day the nominal husband and wife would become real couples.
