"Maternity fund?"

Sang Mu was a little confused, he couldn't understand what it meant.

Han Yi explained: "Yesterday, when Feixue was giving birth, the situation was very dangerous, and she was favored by God to break through, as far as I know, now childbirth is a ghost gate for women, and this childbirth fund is to be able to improve childbirth skills." ”

Sang Mu was stunned and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult, right?" ”

"Of course I know it's very hard." Han Yi nodded, and said: "But even if it's just a little better, it's good, before that, we often took out money to do something that didn't seem to be very profitable, but we got a rich return, just because only the better this country is, we businessmen can be better, and now that we have made so much money, we should also give back to the society." ”

Although Sang Mu still didn't quite understand, he didn't have much money, so he nodded and said, "I'll have someone prepare the money immediately." ”

In fact, in terms of R&D, Han Yi has always been very generous, because he can only pay for this, and other businessmen are unlikely to be willing to pay for it, even if they are willing, that is, it means that this R&D cannot be converted into benefits immediately, which will take a long, long time, a lot of money, and may not be able to get results. But Han Yi knows the importance of this, so he has been sparing no effort to create a scientific research system.

In addition, he has money, but he doesn't want to use the money to expand the investment, his current basic plate has gradually shifted from the initial manufacturing industry to finance, mainly relying on the gold bank to make a profit, finance only he can play, this is too advanced, people want to play can't play, including the imperial court, but many people in the manufacturing industry can play.

If Han Yi continues to expand his manufacturing industry, then the rest of the businessmen will definitely not be able to play him, with his financial resources he can monopolize many industries, he can raise mules, he can plant grass, then then the wealth will be concentrated in his hands alone, the court can only slaughter him, and this is not a healthy business system, he can only invest this money in research and development, he basically still maintains a principle, that is, people can't play, he runs to play.

He set up a childbirth foundation in a very low-key manner, and persuaded Liu Qin to join this childbirth foundation, and at the same time recruited some experienced Langzhong, and even midwife.

This has not attracted too much attention, because this kind of thing is too ethereal, many people don't know what it means, only Xiaopang donated 10,000 yuan to this foundation, this is just a small episode, and the people's eyes are still focused on universal education.

After countless discussions, the Education Bureau was finally formally established, and Wang Yifang was officially promoted from the general dean of Zhaoyi College to the director of the Education Bureau.

This is really the envy of a lot, it turns out that teachers can really be officials.

On the day of its establishment, a series of education bills were enacted.

The first point, of course, is the core idea, which is universal education.

This time it's really a nationwide popularity, not a small fight.

The imperial court clearly stipulated that the state capital must establish important colleges, and the upper state must establish three colleges, two in the middle state and one in the lower state.

The size of the college is based on the population of the city where the local state capital is located, and the countryside should be left alone, because the countryside is too scattered, it is impossible to build a college in each village, and the imperial court cannot afford it, nor can it let the children of the countryside go to the city to study, as far as the current traffic situation is concerned, this is not realistic, this is actually to promote the development of the city, because education is very attractive.

The cost is shared by the central and local state governments, and the central government reduces the amount of grain transported to Chang'an by the state capital, Han Yi thinks that this freight is too much to afford, especially those states and counties without rivers, it is better to use it locally to benefit the local people, and wait until the vouchers are popularized, and then make plans.

And in commercially developed cities, that is to be counted separately.

In Chang'an, Luoyang, Qingzhou, Laizhou, and the entire canal generation. The imperial court is a rigid rule that the workshop concentration area must be built as a college, the scale of the college is calculated based on the number of workshops, the construction of the college is funded by local merchants, and the salaries of textbooks and teachers are borne by the local stamp duty.

The state treasury spends mainly on education in the villages where military households are located.

Most of these colleges also have to pay tuition, but it is very, very low, and the tuition fee is about 30 yuan a year.

Because if it's completely free, people won't cherish it.

But textbooks don't belong to students, they have to be passed on.

Secondly, the establishment of a nine-year compulsory education system, and the promulgation of the textbook selection system, the imperial court does not print textbooks, even if it is funded by the imperial court, it is also required by the imperial court to purchase from the private sector, but the textbook publishing house, must go to the household department to register, obtain publishing qualifications, can publish textbooks, and the content is subject to the examination and approval of the education bureau.

Finally, the development of private colleges is encouraged. The private sector is definitely aimed at the rich, and if there is no private sector, the rich will also have to go to the academy built by the imperial court to study, and the burden on the imperial court will be even greater.

In order to encourage the private sector, in order to encourage education, the imperial court also promulgated a series of auxiliary policies, that is, the four treasures of the study, paper, books, and all other transactions related to education, all exempted from stamp duty and workshop tax.

Because if you are exempt from taxes, the cost will be low, then the profit margin will be large, and businessmen will be willing to invest in education.

In addition, outstanding teachers will be eligible to enter the Education Bureau and become officials directly.

This is really not empty words, Wang Yifang and they have proved it.

At the same time, the imperial court supported the establishment of educational associations among the people to assist the imperial court and popularize education.

On the second day, the Education Association was established, which was jointly established by Zhaoyi College and Shi Clan College, with Yang Feixue and Cui Yingying as the president and vice president, this is very interesting, Zhaoyi College must be dominant, because the scale of Zhaoyi College is much larger than that of Shi College, compared to the number of people, compared to the education situation, Shi Clan College can not be compared.

But Zhaoyi Academy pushed Yang Feixue out to be the president, and the Shi Academy originally wanted to push some scholars out, but when they saw that the other party was Yang Feixue, those scholars didn't have this idea, which was impossible, and Cui Yingying Although she has been helping Zhaoyi Academy, she is a member of the Cui family, so the Shandong Shi clan pushed Cui Yingying down, you get a woman, then we have to get a woman, and we men will not be willing to succumb to women.

It means that the woman controls the educational association.

This is also what Wu Meiniang expects, she wants to increase the status of women, but she does it for herself, what feminism has not yet formed in her heart, and there may be Xiao Wuyi in the world today with this concept.

As for textbooks, there are only two schools recognized by the imperial court, Zhaoyi Academy and Shizu Academy, and they have a team that is specifically responsible for formulating textbooks.

After the promulgation of this series of policies, Datang's education has really developed by leaps and bounds, which is equivalent to adding hundreds of colleges at once, which is a great stride.

In fact, this is all thanks to stamp duty, because stamp duty has led to an increase in fiscal revenue in various places, but the increase is grain and silk cloth, and it is impossible to transport all of them to Chang'an.

The people of Chang'an heard this news, it was really boiling, they were in Chang'an, they have felt the changes in the surrounding environment, people who know how to read and write, and people who don't know how to read and write, there is a world of difference, this ass determines the head, reading can make more money in the future, then they are full of yearning for reading. But in the past, studying was to become an official, but now the people's thinking has begun to change, and reading is first to make money, no longer to become a official.

As a direct result, the number of people who applied for the teacher qualification certificate this year was ten times that of previous years, and the test center has also expanded from a test center in Chang'an to Laizhou, Qingzhou, Luoyang, Yangzhou, and Muzhou.

This is because the private colleges hosted by Zhaoyi College have very high requirements for teachers, and the demand is for young teachers, who must be under the age of 30, and those who are old are not allowed, because the older ones are deeply influenced by Confucianism, and the routine of Zhaoyi College is not quite right. You must know that since ancient times, China has always respected the old, and Zhaoyi Academy is doing the opposite this time, which makes those young scholars very excited.

At the same time, the Scholar Academy also began to prepare for the construction of more colleges.

The Shi Clan Academy has been working hard to compete with Zhaoyi College, and they have never won before, which makes the Shandong Shi Clan lose face, which is what they are best at. This time the expansion of education, they can't lose again, but they are different from Zhaoyi Academy, Zhaoyi Academy is cooperating with businessmen, and the Shizu Academy is funded by the major Shiclans, and there is no investment attraction, and the cooperation must be super Shiclan.

Because the scholar academy was established by the four major families of Cui Lu and Zheng Wang, they are super scholars who don't like to be with the Shu clan very much, and even the teachers are all scholars, but they accept the idea of women as teachers and send out all the women of the family.

But there is no restriction on students, and if you have money, you can come to study, whether you are a Shu or a scholar.

They want to restrict, but this is the general trend, if you want to restrict, you won't be able to expand, and you will still be suppressed by Zhaoyi Academy.

However, now the businessmen are not in the mood to pay attention to these, they are making every effort to prepare for overseas expansion, and now the financing is almost the same, because the wealth brought by Lelang Prefecture stimulates each of them, they hope to open up more territories that are completely dominated by merchants, and expand in the Central Plains, all aspects must take care of the imperial court, take care of the surrounding contradictions, and it doesn't matter if they go overseas.

However, their expansion intentions have had a great impact on the market, especially in Jiangnan and Lingnan.

Needless to say, since the crisis, Muzhou's manufacturing industry has become well-known, they have sufficient goods in their hands, and the Lingnan region has developed over the years, there are also some scales, but a large amount of grain can not go to Chang'an, Lingnan's granaries are almost open, no one to steal. Now merchants had to buy these resources if they wanted to expand, and if they were to buy them in Chang'an, they would have to be shipped to the south.

Merchants buy directly from the local area, millions of dollars smashed over, the Jiangnan market immediately ushered in a new round of madness, not to mention the Lingnan area, the big landlords in Lingnan are laughing crazy, and Lingnan has also become a large granary from a foreign land, you must know that the price of grain in Lingnan is only three pennies a bucket, less than one-third of Chang'an, which makes both buyers and sellers very happy.

At the same time, a large number of Yangzhou and Muzhou businessmen began to go south to invest in the Lingnan region, especially Guangzhou, because Guangzhou is the closest to that and has a port, and the people of Muzhou and Yangzhou are born with merchant genes, and they know that those islands will become markets in the future, but there is no manufacturing there, pottery, silk, and other industries, and they have settled in Guangzhou.

Not only that, but the imperial court also outsourced some weapons, because most of the weapons of the government military system were made by the government soldiers themselves, and the production line was not so large, and some could not be satisfied, so the imperial court allowed the beauty of freedom to produce leather armor, and allowed Xu Ke's bow and arrow workshop to produce large-scale production of military bows, which were traded by themselves, and the imperial court was only responsible for crossbows, arrows, knives, and guns.

In this quiet and silent world, Datang seems to have carried out another large-scale change.

This is something that no one expected, and in terms of the nature of the policy, it is not a big policy.

This is what business brings, with the development of commerce, all parts of the country are interconnected, this policy, can affect the entire market, and the small peasant society, no policy can cause such a big change in the society, in fact, the small peasant society back and forth there are two policies, one is to raise taxes, and the other is to reduce taxes.

......

......

On the endless sea, five sailing ships are sailing along the monsoon.

"Castle master, you see, that's the island that our Yuan family occupies."

Yuan Vultures came to the deck, looked out, and could faintly see a piece of land in the distance, he let out a sigh of relief, and stretched his arms again, "Oops! It's been a long time on the ship, and I'm really panicking. As he spoke, he turned around again and said to Cui Pingzhong, who was hangover: "Old Cui, don't drink later, we're about to arrive, I don't want to carry you down." ”

"I'm sleeping right now."

With that, Cui Pingzhong turned around and continued to fall asleep.

The vultures said to the attendant beside him, "Go, throw this guy into the sea for me to feed the fish." ”

Although this sound unreasonable, but Yuan Vulture's is such a person, and the entourage is a little hesitant, he really doesn't know if this is true or false.

Yuan Vulture said: "You don't understand this, it's really stupider than a pig, you can just throw him down first, let him sober up, and then catch it?" ”

"The villain obeys!"

Who would dare to disobey the orders of this bastard.

"Obey what's ordered."

Cui Pingzhong suddenly sat up and said to Yuan Ying, "I really regret coming with you." ”

Yuan Vultures snorted: "I regret it more than you, except for drinking, even sleeping, and not chatting with me, what do I want you to do?" ”
