During this period of time, Li Zicheng's main energy was on teaching, and he also took the title of the principal of Xining Science and Technology High School, occasionally appearing to teach a section of mathematics or science, broadening the students' horizons and making them realize that the world is very large, and the habitat of the Han people is only a small part of it.

The outside world is more brilliant and more exciting!

Li Zicheng taught at Xining Science and Technology College, basically detached from the textbooks, mainly to cultivate students' awareness of science and technology, and induce them to explore on their own in the ocean of science.

His main focus is still on Xining Girls' School.

During this period of time, the course progressed very quickly, and even Li Zicheng himself felt a little surprised.

The "Chinese Dictionary" has been compiled and gradually improved in use, adding commonly used Chinese characters as appropriate, and once it is formalized, it will begin to be printed; Li Zicheng also based on his own memory and the accumulation of teaching materials during this period, he has printed a new edition of vernacular Chinese textbooks, and some classical articles will also be excerpted from the textbooks.

Li Zicheng only concentrated on teaching Chinese several times a week, and a lot of time was spent on teaching mathematics and science, and in this era, the content of mathematics and science was much less than that of later generations, and the teaching materials were improved, so he estimated that before the end of this year, that is, when the three-year period of Xining Girls' School expired, the students may graduate normally.

Once the students graduate, Xining Girls' School will be officially disbanded and transferred to a new type of education.

In Li Zicheng's vision, the new education in the future will continue the nine-year system, implementing a four-, three-, and two-year structure, that is, four years of primary school, three years of middle school, and two years of high school.

Due to the lack of teachers in the new education, after the students of the Xining Girls' School graduated, it could not be implemented immediately, there must be a four-year transition period, and it could not fully blossom in the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, so the first step was to open a new school in the prefecture and county.

After the dissolution of Xining Girls' School, the original site will be expanded into Xining Primary School, covering an area of at least 15 acres.

In the first phase of enrollment, students do not ask about birth, the only condition is to be smart, will recruit 200 students, divided into four classes, all graduated after four years, among which the best 100 students will be promoted to Xining Middle School, and the other 100 students will become new primary school teachers.

After the graduation of this batch of students, primary schools will be added, and Lanzhou Government will definitely open primary schools, and from this time on, primary school enrollment will begin to implement a cycle system, enrolling students once a year, and increasing the number of schools as appropriate.

At the same time, Xining Middle School was established, with graduates of the former Xining Girls' School as teachers, and the first batch of students was only 100 students promoted from Xining Primary School, divided into two classes.

After graduating from the middle school, 50 of the outstanding students will be selected to continue their studies in Xining Science and Technology Higher School, while the remaining 50 students will be used as middle school teachers, and the middle school enrollment will enter the cycle system.

Prior to this, Xining Science and Technology High School also began to enter the circular enrollment system.

Graduates of Xining Science and Technology High School are adults, who have mastered the highest level of science and technology, or stay in school to teach, or enter the firearms bureau, or enter the factory, or become a substitute official, or engage in scientific research, or, like Xu Xiake, engage in research throughout the country.

This is just a framework for Li Zicheng's new education, that is, a grand plan, and some problems may arise in the process of implementation, such as the age of students, the remuneration of teachers, the size of the school, the speed of development of the school, etc., which will be gradually corrected in practice.

Military affairs are also a key focus of Li Zicheng's attention.

During this period, the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army was safe everywhere, just in time to complete the advance expansion.

By the end of May, the 5,000-household Zhou Bin Department and the 7,000-household Song Wen Department stationed in the Triangle City had completed the planned army expansion, and the original 500 households of auxiliary soldiers were directly transformed into soldiers after being issued with Xining rifles.

Among the two thousand households, the auxiliary soldiers of the original 500 households borrowed the rifles of the soldiers for training when they were not issued rifles, so when the rifles were equipped with them, they had already initially formed combat effectiveness.

Among the five infantry households of the Heavenly Mandate Army, more than 5,000 rifles have been distributed, and these 5,000 soldiers are all soldiers.

The configuration of each thousand households is as follows:

The 3,000 households of Qin Danian, 500 households of soldiers, and 15 100 households of auxiliaries, stationed in Xining;

The 4,000 households of Li Jibu, 500 households of soldiers, and 15 100 households of auxiliaries, garrisoned in Ganzhou;

The 5,000 households of the Zhou Bin Division, the soldiers of 100 households, and the auxiliary soldiers of 1000 households, garrisoned the Triangle City and Kadang City;

The six thousand households have a water department, and twenty hundred households of soldiers are stationed at the fortified pass;

The 700th Song Wenbu, 100 soldiers of 100 households, and 1000 auxiliary soldiers were stationed in Xining.

A total of 50 soldiers and 100 households, 50 auxiliary soldiers and 100 households, plus the cavalry of Liu Yunshui and Li Guobu, the total strength has exceeded 12,000 people.

Li Zicheng does not plan to expand the army for the time being, but to increase the number of rifles, so that the ratio of soldiers to auxiliaries will reach at least six # four open, and the rifles manufactured by the Firearms Bureau will be distributed to Qin Danian's department stationed in Xining, and after Qin Danian will distribute another five hundred rifles, Li Ji's department will also be issued with rifles of five hundred households.

The Mandate of Heaven is not short of pig iron now, it is only time to be short, if it is not for the lack of silver, he will have to expand the scale of production for the Firearms Bureau again.

During this period, the Firearms Bureau cast eight more howitzers and deployed them together in Guguan.

Silver is also a problem that Li Zicheng must take into account, although Lanzhou still has 150,000 taels of silver in stock, but he can't sit and eat landslides, if he can't make a lot of blood, these silver will always run out.

In the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, the annual commercial tax is only more than 10,000 taels, and the growth is slow, far from meeting the needs of expanding the army.

Although Li Zicheng had several factories, the luxury goods produced by the factories were heavily dependent on the Ming market, and if the imperial court blocked the trade routes and forbade the two sides to trade with each other, as it did with the Mongols, the Mandate of Heaven army would probably fall into a silver crisis.

No way, you have to do it yourself.

After producing glass mirrors, Li Zicheng decided to set up his own firm.

But there are no business talents under his subordinates, and in the end it is Mao Ting who is still looking for him.

After negotiation, Mao Ting's original firm was renamed "Xining Shunfeng Commercial Bank", and the proprietor was still Mao Ting on the surface, but all the capital was provided by Li Zicheng, and he was the owner hidden behind the scenes.

Mao Ting is actually just the shopkeeper who works for Li Zicheng, and his monthly fixed remuneration is ten taels of silver, plus one percent of the shares, and he can share the net profit at the end of the year.

This kind of remuneration does not seem to be high, but Li Zicheng's self-produced goods are all high-end luxuries, and they can be regarded as unique, and the profits are very considerable, and Li Zicheng is still counting on it to feed a large number of his own troops.

The start-up capital reached 10,000 taels, which surprised Mao Ting very much, as the concubine of the family, he had never handled such a huge amount of money.

Looking at Mao Ting's trembling hands, Li Zicheng patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry about Mao Dong, everything, there is the Mandate of Heaven Army to support you!" ”

"Dadu Governor," Mao Ting wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said, "Don't hide it from Dadu Governor, the grass people really haven't operated so much money, in case they can't make a profit for Dadu Governor......"

"At the beginning, it was nothing more than a matter of how much profit you made, giving you a unique commodity in the world, and you were afraid that you wouldn't be able to sell it at a high price?" Li Zicheng patted Mao Ting's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's just that don't put your eggs in one basket, don't give up for the time being in the business of the Western Regions." ”

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor," Mao Ting respectfully saluted Li Zicheng, "With the support of the Metropolitan Governor, the courage of the grass people will be strong!" ”

"Good job, I believe in you!"

Mao Ting was simply flattered, he had never been valued in the family, so he went to the Western Regions, but after meeting Li Zicheng, he immediately became the proprietor of the 10,000 taels of silver trading house, and he only felt ashamed in his heart, and only by working hard to make money for the governor could he be worthy of the love of the governor.

He almost forgot that Li Zicheng gave him a stake in Yicheng, and the more money the firm earned, the greater his income would be.

One day in early June, Guo Shijun came to Xining from Longyou, and combined with on-the-spot investigations, institutionalized the separation of powers of the "governor, president, and parliament" of Longyou Province, and put forward many specific suggestions.

He just left Guo Shijun's written report, waited for his leisure time, and then briefly skimmed through it, "Shijun, are the eight councilors of Longyou all conscientious?" ”

"The subordinates investigated these eight councillors in detail, and two of them were more treacherous, and they had a history of colluding with thieves to murder the local people, but ordinary people didn't know about it!"

"Take it, take it immediately," Li Zicheng was annoyed and angry, this is a trial of the separation of powers system in Longyou, he is willing to give up his future privileges, but unfortunately these people are still mercenary, "Feige passed on Mei Zhihuan, immediately removed the qualifications of these two parliamentarians, and sent them back to the government for re-election." ”

"Governor, I'm afraid it can't be like this," Guo Shijun said carefully: "Since we want to establish a decentralization system, it is inevitable to implement it according to law, but this time is an opportunity for the people of Longyou to see what is the difference between the Heavenly Mandate Army and the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Shijun is right, I was too reckless," Li Zicheng touched his chin and smiled, "The court should be allowed to judge, as long as their past bad deeds are announced, the people will inevitably agree to disqualify them, and by the way, it is also to popularize the law to the people." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is right, this matter can only be like this," Guo Shijun frowned, still a little worried, "The Metropolitan Governor, according to his subordinates, although the parliamentarians of Longyou Province, although they have a lot of vitality, they are not officials after all, and I am afraid it will be difficult to perfect some of the officialdom......

There is nothing that can be done about it, a completely new system, there must always be a process of adaptation, and when this system is stabilized and the various qualities of the people are raised to a certain level, the parliamentarians will truly assume their responsibilities and fully exercise the rights conferred on them by the law.

The only hope is that the transition period will be shorter.

Li Zicheng was thinking about it, and He Xiaomi hurriedly rushed in, "Governor Dadu, Kadang City is in a hurry!" ”
