In the past, there were not so many students who applied for the examination in the preparatory schools of Datang, but now that the results of the seven-year examination of Xuanping are out, the students from the normal school can also have a pass rate of more than ten percent, which is to attract more students, especially self-financed students!

And if there are more self-financed students, then the normal school will have the funds to recruit more free students, thus forming a good circle.

As soon as the examination ended, the normal schools ushered in a wave of applicants!

A large number of students, regardless of whether they are rich students or poor children, have come to apply for the examination, and many have been admitted to preparatory schools, but because their grades are only in the middle of the stream, they cannot get scholarships, and they all choose to apply for the teacher training examination, and then sign a three-year teacher contract.

If you have rich students, people don't worry about tuition fees, but many people still can't get into preparatory schools, so they will come to try their luck, and if they can't go to preparatory schools, it's good to go to normal school.

When you wait for the teacher's training, you can directly take the entrance examination, or go to Guozijian University or Jinling University again.

Seeing the success of the examination, Li Xuan was in a very good mood, and the educational reform was moving forward in accordance with the line he had formulated.

And now no one knows that Li Xuan is preparing to take two steps, and after a few years, he will completely implement the modern education system, but as for the imperial examination system, he is not ready to abolish it, but is ready to reform it into a civil service system for future generations.

These two routes go hand in hand, and no one can do without the other!

According to Li Xuan's plan, it is now a little bit changed every year, but in a few years, the civil service system will be thoroughly implemented, and the imperial examination will be turned into a civil service examination, the general examination will become a national examination, and the township examination will become a provincial examination.

And schools at all levels are also widely opened!

At that time, the entire Tang Dynasty will really establish a perfect education and civil service system, and this will be of great benefit to the subsequent development of the entire empire.

Therefore, when he saw the results of the examination and received a report that students from all over the country were enthusiastically applying for the examination of teachers in various places, Li Xuan issued the latest instructions to the Ministry of Rites to rapidly expand the enrollment scale of teachers in various places, and at the same time strive to open a number of normal schools this year to increase the number of normal students as a powerful supplement to university education!

Li Xuan's instructions, the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to have any neglect, and at the same time, considering that there is not a single institution of higher learning in the north, not even a preparatory department, so the Ministry of Rites is already preparing, and among the newly opened preparatory or normal schools this year, there are also several in the northern provinces.

When Li Xuanren had not yet arrived in Jinling, the internal meeting of the Ministry of Rites had already determined the general goal of running the school this year, not to mention the primary and secondary schools, which basically required every local yamen to prepare, one county and one primary school, one government and one middle school, this is a mandatory regulation, and because they are all reformed from the previous county schools and government schools, it is quite easy.

However, if the preparatory department and the normal department want to do it, it is more troublesome.

But it's only a little more troublesome.

After the cultivation of the previous few years, there have been two batches of normal teachers who can serve as these secondary education and teaching, and although the number is still small, it is better than nothing.

Therefore, with a stroke of the pen, the Ministry of Rites made a request for itself, and this year it is necessary to prepare at least three preparatory schools and eight normal schools!

In the case of preparatory schools, this temporary demand is not large, because there are only two universities in Datang, and if it is not for the purpose of going to university, there is no need to go to the preparatory department at all.

However, the demand for teachers is large, and the current plan formulated by the Ministry of Rites is to ensure that every province and province has a normal school in the next two years.

This year, Nanchang Normal School, Changsha Normal School, Anqing Normal School, Huai'an Normal School, Hangzhou Normal School, Tianjin Normal School, Kaifeng Normal School, Wuzhou Normal School, a total of eight!

Some of the teachers of these eight normal schools will ask the Royal Institute of Technology to send junior students, but most of them will be drawn from the graduates of the existing normal schools!

These normal graduates don't need to study many subjects at the same time as the preparatory department or university, they only study one subject a year, and they don't have to be too strict to be a teacher, as long as they can read the subject according to the script, so it is barely enough.

As for the preparatory school, the Ministry of Rites reported that it was set up in Tianjin, Wuchang, and Anqing!

If this plan of the Ministry of Rites can be implemented, then by the end of this year, the entire Tang Dynasty will have thirteen normal schools, six preparatory schools, and two universities.

As for the preparation of the new university, there is no plan on the part of the Ministry of Rites at present!

The resources required to run a new university are too great to be able to do it now, but it is still possible to expand the enrollment scale of the two existing schools!

Guozijian's seven-year enrollment plan in Xuanping is ready to enroll 1,500 students!

And Jinling University is also preparing to recruit 800 students in the seven years of Xuanping!

Seeing these reports, Li Xuan, who had already returned to the Dangtu Industrial Zone of Taiping Mansion, approved three words, I know!

Then after reading and reviewing the other dozen or so memorabilia, he walked out of the office in the imperial ship, and the accompanying secretary on the side immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the adults of all the departments are already waiting!" ”

Li Xuan nodded immediately: "Then get off the boat!" ”

Li Xuan said, just took a group of people off the imperial ship, and after stepping on the land of the dock, a group of civil and military ministers waiting on the dock naturally bowed in unison and shouted long live!

Li Xuan pressed his hand slightly as he walked, and said, "Zhong Aiqing is flat!" ”

After Li Xuan said that, a group of people straightened up, and then several of them walked forward quickly!

Li Xuan was also not going to listen to their nonsense, but said directly: "Time is tight, go directly to the industrial zone!" ”

This made the officials who originally wanted to introduce other situations to Li Xuan, and behaved in front of the Son of Heaven were a little disappointed, but although they were disappointed, they didn't dare to show anything.

Li Xuan didn't dare to be interested in those officials!

The wharf where the holy driver arrived was the wharf in the Dangtu Industrial Zone, in fact, when he was on the boat, Li Xuan could see rows of tall factories on the shore, and there were several tall chimneys standing in the factory!

Although in Li Xuan's sight, these riverside factories still look very simple, looking at the past with the eyes of modern people, they are proper workshops and small factories, but they think that the scale of the industrial zone is very large.

The huge scale also makes up for the embarrassment that the building is low, not grand enough, and the machinery and equipment are primitive and backward!

After Li Xuan went ashore, he looked at the industrial zone in front of him, as well as the factories on both sides of the main road in the industrial zone, nodded slightly, and secretly said in his heart, although the turtle is a little bit primitive and primitive, it is also a serious heavy industry production base!

Dangtu Industrial Zone, unlike several other more famous industrial zones in the Tang Dynasty today, Guangzhou and Shanghai, two more famous commercial ports, their industrial zones are chaotic, there is everything, there are heavy industries, but more are all kinds of light industries.

However, the Dangtu Industrial Zone is a heavy industry, which is the main production base of Jiangnan Arms Company, and is also the location of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, the largest and largest steel production enterprise in China.

Relying on the iron ore here, Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company has set up a super-large steel production base here!

In addition, Zhaoqing Machinery Company, the largest and even the only machinery and equipment manufacturer in China, has also set up a branch here.

With these three core enterprises, supplemented by more than 10 supporting enterprises, they together constitute the main body of Dangtu Industrial Zone!

"At present, we have a total of 37 enterprises in the Dangtu Industrial Zone, of which 12 are enterprises affiliated to the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, 17 are provincial and government-owned enterprises, and there are eight private enterprises, which are mainly involved in heavy industries such as steel, machinery, and chemicals."

"In order to solve the living problems of the industrial zone, we have also set up many worker dormitories and commercial streets in the industrial zone!"

"The area of the industrial zone is more than ten times that of Dangtu County, and it is still expanding rapidly, according to our plan, the follow-up industrial zone will be expanded to the county, and eventually the entire county will be included!"

Li Xuan nodded slightly after hearing this: "It's hard work, such a heavy industrial zone, the scale is larger than the industrial zones in Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the difficulty of construction is also more difficult. ”

Li Xuan said that he had worked hard, and the group of courtiers standing next to him suddenly turned extremely excited, especially several officials of the Taiping Mansion, the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, and the Ministry of Industry who were in charge of the Dangtu Industrial Zone, all of them turned red!

One of them hurriedly said: "Be loyal to Your Majesty and seek benefits for the people of Li, this is the blessing of the minister, not hard, not hard!" ”

Another person said: "Loyalty to the king, this is the duty of a courtier, how dare you speak hard!" ”

Looking at their excited expressions, Li Xuan was too lazy to take care of them, these courtiers, casually praised them in two sentences, and they could all be moved to marry the eighteenth concubine!

And I just said it casually, you guys are still serious!

If you don't work hard, do you have to do it myself?

You deserve to be tired!

However, this is just Li Xuan's idea!

In the eyes of these ministers, Li Xuan's sentence is hard, to put it mildly, even if they have no merit, but the hard work is a certainty, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner!

Well, if this idea was known to Li Xuan, he would say, "You guys are thinking too much!" ”
