Although Liu Xie Hedong was defeated in the first battle, he also came back safely, did not lose a general, returned to Luoyang to rest in the North Palace for a night, and insisted on teaching the next day despite his tiredness.

The so-called teaching is that Liu co-organized a study class, which was taught by himself, and the content of the teaching came from the provision of small dictionaries, and he wanted to impart modern scientific and technological knowledge, including natural science and technology, management knowledge and modern ideology.

If you want to be invincible in this troubled world, how can you win without advanced technology and ideas?

In the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, he was the only one who had these advanced knowledge, so he wanted to let some people learn it first, even if he couldn't learn all the knowledge he knew, at least he wanted them to know the future development direction of science and technology.

A total of 100 students were recruited in the first study class, all of whom were smart children under the age of 10 who were selected by examination from all over Luoyang, and among these 100 students, there were 30 girls.

It also started with Liu Xie, breaking the precedent that women could not study politics and join the army since ancient times.

These 100 students must not only be smart, but also physically strong. And they must be absolutely loyal to the Han family, so in addition to Liu Xie personally teaching them cultural classes, there are also special riding and martial arts teachers to teach them corresponding physical fitness classes.

And these students have money to take, and their families will also be taken care of by the imperial court.

In order to make full use of the golden finger, Liu Xie understands very well that it is necessary to attach great importance to knowledge education.

The first modern class, which lasted for three years, was now halfway through, and when their three-year study period expired, Liu Xie planned to establish the first modern university in the Eastern Han Dynasty: the Eastern Han Royal University.

At that time, 10,000 students will be recruited from Liangzhou, Chang'an and Luoyang, and the 100 children from the modern study class will serve as teachers, and these 100 children will continue to be taught by Liu Xie to learn deeper knowledge.

Liu Xie set a time for himself, at most seven years, he will no longer teach in person, and will teach all the students he has personally trained to teach later students, and move them down one by one.

The reason why it is set as a seven-year period is because Liu Xie ascended the throne at the age of nine, and seven years later is exactly when he reaches adulthood at the age of sixteen. When he becomes an adult, he will have more things to do, unify the world, conquer the four seas, and attract celebrities.

He will become the greatest emperor in history, and he is confident in this.

However, he said that Liu Xie came to the study class in Nangong, and the students had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the emperor coming, they all got up and saluted. Liu Xie looked at this cathedral that had housed a hundred years of students, and Si Xiaomei was also among them. and several adults also listened to the class later, including Zou Yuan, Yan Er, Cai Yan, and Ma Chao's brothers and sisters, as well as some civil officials.

Liu Xie stood in the middle of the front desk and asked, "I have been away for the past few days, how are you doing with your homework?" ”

One of the boys, who was the squad leader, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we have all stepped up our study, and our homework is on the podium. His Majesty has been absent for the past few days, and the students have discussed a question for a long time, but they don't understand it very well. ”

Liu Xie smiled: "Well, yes, being able to question the teacher shows that you have an epiphany." Anyway, what a problem. ”

The squad leader said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is a matter of resource consumption and population growth, since the more population, the more resources will be consumed, then why should we vigorously encourage childbearing, in that case, wouldn't resources be consumed faster?" ”

Liu Xie stood on the podium and walked back and forth for two steps and said, "That's right, your question is very reasonable. Now our Han family actually controls three places: Liangzhou, Chang'an, and Luoyang, the eastern capital, and the resources of food, daily necessities and other aspects are very scarce. But you know what? The total population of the entire three places is less than 20 million. Although this number accounts for half of the entire Han population, on the surface it seems that the population is indeed large. But have you noticed that due to years of war, large tracts of land have been barren, and there is already a lot of wasteland that has not been cultivated.

"Although resources are a priority, they can be continuously developed, and when the population goes up, the resources are developed faster, and the food supply is even higher. We are indeed very difficult now, but in a few years, these problems will not be a problem. ”

The squad leader nodded as if he didn't understand.

The other students asked a few more questions, and Liu Xie answered them one by one, he was very happy, and these students were very interested in learning new knowledge.

After sitting down, he began to roughly skim over the students' homework before starting today's teaching. The teaching content is only an hour, and the next thing is the students themselves, and then he goes to the court to discuss politics.

After teaching, he left the study class and went to the North Palace Qinzheng Palace. Si Xiaomei stayed to continue studying.

Ma Chao is already an adult at the age of 16, so he can also go to the Qinzheng Palace to discuss politics, Ma Dai and Ma Feng are only 15 years old, but they are not students in the study class, so they don't have to stay to study, but disperse.

Zou Yuan, Yan Er and Cai Yan all followed Liu Xie to the Qinzheng Palace.

When I arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the general ministers of civil and military affairs were already waiting. Liu Xie began to sit down and waited for the ministers to recital.

A minister said: "The collapse of the Beishan Coal Mine under the jurisdiction of the Royal Manufacturing Department caused more than a dozen deaths and injuries, causing resentment among the people and a rebellion among the people. ”

Liu Xie frowned and asked, "Rebellion?" Have you done a good job of pacifying? If you do a good job of appeasement, will there be a rebellion? ”

The minister replied: "According to the contract, the appeasement silver has already been sent." ”

"Since the pacification of the silver can be put in place, and there is still a riot, it means that there is corruption among officials in the middle, and it will be investigated and dealt with immediately. Damn, you don't need money to dare to embezzle! ”

Liu Xie was furious, and the minister trembled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Liu Xie said: "We must do a good job in the safety of mining!" In addition, I have repeatedly emphasized that all coal and iron mines must be mined by the Royal Manufacturing Division, and all private mining is illegal. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Another minister said: "Your Majesty, the population problem, the ministers are unable to complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty. ”

Liu Xie saw that it was Wang Lin, the minister of the Ministry of Population and Resources, who he personally promoted. Xindao, why is this day inseparable from the population issue.

He asked, "What's your problem?" ”

Wang Lin said: "The main reason is that there is not enough manpower, and the places where the people live are relatively scattered, and the places in Luoyang City are fine, but it is difficult for the suburbs and towns to do work." In a timely manner, we vigorously promote the benefits of increasing fertility, but there are many people who are reluctant to have children. ”

"Don't want to give birth?" Liu Xiehao wondered, this is the Eastern Han Dynasty, but unlike the modern society in the future, there are birth control measures, and people in this period cannot achieve good birth control measures.
