With the fundamental changes in the economic and financial outlook of Chongzhen in the past 16 years, and even the progress of the Central Academy in survey and statistical skills, it is not only after the autumn harvest that we can determine what the year will look like. From some enterprises directly under the central government, such as the mines that have benefited the most and even the weaving chief, there are also some new banks with official endorsements. There is a rough quarterly report within the quarter, and there are also various "monthly estimates"

In the past 14 years, not only dozens of the earliest children have grown up to be pioneers of new education, but also about 5,000 newcomers have begun to grow up. The entire education system also completed a small expansion around the sixteenth year of Chongzhen. In addition to the main headquarters of Chuo College, "Kyoshi Elementary School" was established throughout Oncheon.

Of course, not only the children of the former study families, but also the children of some craftsmen's homes and even the children's homes of soldiers are fundamentally different from the past, which was difficult to imagine before.

There is no doubt that in the past ten years, especially in the fifteenth and sixteenth years of Chongzhen, at least for two consecutive years, the reduction of cultural costs and even the promotion of related industries within the scope of the Central Governor's District have also brought a large base of folk education. Not only relying on official financial investment, but also at this time, the cultural core of the people has gradually completed the transformation of the old and the new.

For those who come to take the test, the goal of the assessment is not based on the cultural knowledge itself, because it can be instilled. It's more about the interest in learning and the science itself, and even the imagination and creativity.

The entrance exam seems to be like a new kind of imperial examination, and many people feel that it may be able to determine the fate of many people in the future. After all, after the abolition of the old imperial examinations, after several wars, many people also acquiesced to a reality, that is, the old channel of interests could not go through. If you want to seek personal and even family interests, you can only hope that a gifted child can be admitted to Yingtian Primary School and even Central College.

However, not everyone is the protagonist of God's favor or has children who are very talented. All of a sudden, children who are talented in acting, or who are really flexible and intelligent, are highly sought after. Many people even cost 350,000 taels of silver to succeed a very gifted "prodigy" in a foreign land, of course, this kind of "prodigy" is often obtained by those who have a lot of wealth and power in the local area.

Of course, in the case where culture and education have been promoted to a large extent, and the level of rule of the entire regime has been much higher than in the past. The selection of 150,000 "newcomers to Jingshi Elementary School" was completed in a not too long range.

Drawing on previous experience, the selected people are not limited to children of the enlightened age, or only limited to a single gender, but as young as four or five years old, as many as eleven or twelve years old, and the entire range of children is included in the assessment and selection of candidates.

Among the 150,000 people selected, there are many amazing talents, such as some children who are only in their teens, and they are already outstanding in blacksmithing or carpentry. There are also those who have studied analytic geometry for a long time.

In order for these people, who are almost one in a dozen or a hundred, to be able to not herd sheep under the new educational model, and to a large extent, to be afraid. Xiao Xuan also had to conduct a basic discipline training for these children, and spent a lot of effort to divide them into classes through various assessments, and finally let these children officially start a new batch of training after a month.

There is no doubt that this class of children in Jingshi Primary School is a crucial step in the modernization of the whole society, and a considerable number of them will determine the future of the whole society. When the entire education system expands again, perhaps tens of thousands of educational backbones will be able to support its millions of people to cover at least the entire Central Governor's District in primary school. And that's not even counting the much of the cost of research activities that will be carried out in schools, and the cost of education at that time would certainly not be comparable to what it is now.

If the most adequate supply standard is followed, perhaps in seven years' time, the demand for investment in basic education and scientific research outside the system alone will catch up with the entire fiscal revenue obtained by the new dynasty from home and abroad in the sixteen years.

Thinking of these things, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but pay attention to the operation of various units directly under the central government. Associated with the colleges directly under the central government, the use and promotion of new technologies in all aspects are also relatively concentrated, and the enterprises directly under the central government, which have almost become the driving force for the development of the new economy of the entire society, seem to have become the key to whether the entire world's economy and even the innovation pattern can be raised to a higher level in a few years.

It's just that after looking at the financial report of the second quarter of the seventeenth year of "China Textile", which is the most important influence of Yingtian, Xiao Xuan began to have some vague speculations.

Although the whole China Textile has passed the early period of rapid development, because of the supply of cotton cloth and other problems, the output of the entire Chongzhen 16 years is only 42 million horses, and the growth of the dignitaries in the previous year is only more than 10%. However, I heard that the cotton harvest that began to be promoted in many places last year was quite good, but how came the cloth production in the second quarter of 17 was still only about 11 million horses? The production is also counted. The profits and taxes paid by China Textile do not seem to have increased much compared with the second quarter of last year, only 3.2 million taels? ”

Different from before, with the gradual expansion of the news in the market, Xiao Xuan not only understands military and political affairs, but also in specific things in industry and commerce. In the past, the surface cloth was only relatively cheap at the general level, but the time for the establishment of China Textile was not too long, and the use of machine cloth should also be greatly improved in terms of labor efficiency. However, in Xiao Xuan's inspection, the expansion of China's textile output and output value over the years has relied more on the increase in capital and manpower scale, and the improvement in labor efficiency has been quite limited.

In the initial report, Gao He, who was in charge of China Textiles, probably thought that the workers were in awe at the beginning, but in the past few years, they have gradually felt the difference between public and private units. There is a lot of slackness in labor. In order to supervise the serious work of these employees, the number of managers required has gradually increased.

Regarding this kind of remark, in fact, Xiao Xuan had a half-believing attitude from the beginning.
