In addition to the field troops, which are purely military units, garrison units, reserve militias, battalion schools, logistics departments, military hospitals, and other departments also serve civilian functions in addition to satisfying the functions of the troops.

However, after the separation of military and political affairs, the previous state of mixed military and civilian affairs needs to be changed.

Clarifying the functions of military generals and government officials is the first step in separating the military from the government, and separating the battalion schools from the army and transforming them into army officer academies is the second step in separating the military from the government.

Education is fundamental to the development of nation-states, and there are no examples in the world of a strong nation that does not attach importance to education.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Rio Gran do Sul was in ruins, and Li Mingyuan invested the limited funds and resources at his disposal in several important industrial projects, delaying the popularization of basic education and the establishment of public schools.

With the passage of nearly two years, the initial progress has been made in industrial fields such as steel mining, smelting, and weapons processing, and the teaching force that restricts the development of education has also been suitable for the arrival of groups of Chinese businessmen who have voluntarily immigrated.

Military first, then civilian, and in the face of a strong enemy, the preparation of the education system in Rio Gran do Sul was also adjusted in accordance with the needs of national security.

The Army Military Academy is under the management of the General Staff, and the instructors and cadets of the school are active military personnel, while the basic public schools are managed by the Ministry of Education in the Government.

It has been a year since the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and other government administrative agencies were formally established, but the opportunities to actually play their respective roles are very limited.

The vice minister of finance is Sun Bin, but after Sun Bin went to Nanyang, the work of the Ministry of Finance has been concurrently held by Liu Pu, and although the vice minister of education has been selected, because the education work of Rio Gran do Sul has not been carried out for a long time, so Zhao Yan, vice minister of education, is only a name, but in fact he is busy with other work.

"The educational content of the army officer school should be in line with the current military education in the West, and I will find a way to solve the problem of the lack of military instructors in the school.

Liu Pu, since you are still in the post of chief of staff, you will be in charge of preparing for the establishment of the Army Military Academy, and before I return from Paraguay, I will try my best to solve the problem of the first batch of cadets of the Army Military Academy. ”

"There are more than 100 outstanding graduates in the camp academy, and they are recommended to be trained as the first batch of military cadets."

"Examine them together with the candidates from other troops, the capable ones will be promoted, and the inferior ones will be lowered, and don't give them more preferential treatment."

"I understand."

"Zhao Yan, you are the vice minister of education in charge of education, how many schools do you think is good to build?"

Ending the topic of military schools, Li Mingyuan turned to Zhao Yan and asked.

"Your Highness, Rio Grande do Sul now has five counties, namely Xinjing, Hexi, Yong'an, Changning, Hetao (Pelotas), and Xing'an (Pasufengdu), plus the counties that will be established soon

In the two counties of Invia and Floriano, which have a total of eight county seats, according to the opinion of the post, although the number of scholars in Rio Grande do Sul has increased considerably, it still does not meet the standard of establishing schools in each settlement, so it is more in line with the domestic situation to concentrate the scholars among the new immigrants and set up a junior school in each county town. ”

"Liu Pu, how many Chinese under the age of eighteen are there in Rio Gran do Sul now?"

There are no school-age Chinese children in Rio Gran do Sul, so Li Mingyuan set the target group of the school as young Chinese under the age of 18.

"There are 3,000 Chinese over the age of 14 and under the age of 16, and 20,000 Chinese over the age of 16 and under the age of 18."

After Liu Pu asked the staff around him, he replied.

"There are eight junior schools, and each school teaches 500 students, and there are only 400 students."

Li Mingyuan muttered softly, his brows couldn't help frowning, "No, there are more than 20,000 Chinese under the age of eighteen, and four hundred students are too few.

Zhao Yan, if you want to find a way to double the number of schools and meet the standard of enrolling 1,000 students, can you do it? ”

"Your Highness, a junior school is equipped with ten lecturers, and an average lecturer has to teach fifty students, while the average private school teacher teaches, a school has twenty students, and no matter how many there are, it is only forty students, and it is already the limit for a lecturer to teach fifty students, and if there are many students, the lecturer will be very difficult to teach."

In ancient times, the number of students in each school was limited, Zhao Yan and Sun Bin were both born in a down-and-out show, and they had experienced the teaching of Mr. Private School, so they had an intuitive understanding of the number of students in each school, and Li Mingyuan was different from him, Li Mingyuan grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and when he was in high school, he was crammed into a classroom of seventy or eighty people, and subconsciously thought that a teaching gentleman could manage seventy or eighty or even a hundred students.

"For the first time in China, we must find ways to overcome some difficulties."

Li Mingyuan comforted him softly and continued, "I understand the difficulties of teaching more than 50 students in one class, but the situation in Rio Gran do Sul is a little different, the students who attend the class are older, and their learning ability and discipline are much stronger than those of school-age children.

You should do more work among the gentlemen, so that they may understand the difficulties of the country, and work hard to make each teacher responsible for seventy pupils, and to add seven more junior schools, so that the total number of schools will be fifteen. ”

Although Li Mingyuan spoke to Zhao Yan in a consultative tone, the content of his words was not allowed to be changed, Zhao Yan guessed the sense of urgency in Li Mingyuan's heart, so he could only accept the task and at the same time ask Li Mingyuan for more authorization.

"Your Highness, most of the Chinese scholars of the new immigrants choose to be officials in government departments, and if you want to recruit a sufficient number of teaching gentlemen, you need Your Highness's authorization to forcibly sign new immigrants, and I hope Your Highness will approve it."

"The junior school only teaches students basic cultural knowledge, and in order to increase the number of students by a few hundred more, it is inappropriate to use coercive means to signal Mr. Teaching.

Zhao Yan, your request is a bit excessive. ”

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he was immediately opposed by Liu Pu.

"Lord Liu, my subordinates also know that it is inappropriate to forcibly sign immigrants to serve as Mr. Teaching, but if you don't do this, your subordinates will indeed not be able to recruit the number of people required by Your Highness."

Liu Pu has always been Zhao Yan's top boss, and in the face of Liu Pu's reprimand, Zhao Yan had no choice but to defend.

"Rio Grande do Sul has just ushered in a wave of immigration from overseas Chinese brothers, and forcibly warning new immigrants has a bad impact on Rio Gran do Sul's reputation, and forcibly warning it is okay."

Li Mingyuan waved his hand to stop the dispute between the two, and said in a different tone: "The implementation of primary education is not only as simple as letting the brothers read and write, but also the steel mills and gun factories outside Xinjing, Hexi County and other places need to be operated by knowledgeable workers, and these workers In addition to the Chinese apprentice workers selected in advance, some workers in important positions need to select qualified graduates from the primary school to take charge."

The current world is dominated by science and technology, which country attaches importance to education, attaches importance to science and technology, which country can rise, the mainland under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is closed to the outside world, even if the Westernization movement is only a superficial pretense, it is impossible to really make the country strong, our national defense forces have worked hard to obtain a place to stay, and we must catch up with the West, learn from Western science and technology, and we can't treat the science and technology of foreigners as a miracle as before, and only learn the surface but not the core. ”

"His majesty is short-sighted, and he has not realized His Highness's painstaking efforts, and I ask His Highness to forgive his sins."

Liu Pu and Zhao Yan saw that Li Mingyuan's expression was uneasy, and hurriedly bent down and saluted.

"It is normal for capable and knowledgeable scholars to want to be officials and not want to be a teacher of Qingshui, and it is not easy to recruit more than 100 suitable teachers at a time."

Li Mingyuan pulled the two up, and after thinking for a moment in his heart, his frowning brows gradually relaxed, "I thought of a solution, which can stipulate that newly recruited teachers are eligible to apply for transfer to government administrative departments after teaching for one year, and for teachers with good teaching work, the government will give priority to new officials when recruiting new officials." ”

"Mr. Teaching has the qualifications to be an official, so there will be more people who want to apply to be Mr. Teacher." Zhao Yan echoed.

"The lack of teaching in the school is mainly due to the small number of scholars in Rio Gran do Sul, and His Majesty hopes that His Royal Highness will increase the scale of recruiting scholars from Nanyang and the mainland to alleviate the shortage of domestic talents."

Liu Pu thought more than Zhao Yan, and after listening to Li Mingyuan's words, he directly established the Dao.

"Sun Bin did a good job in Nanyang, let's leave this matter to him."
