The next day, the ministers congratulated, Yang Xuan immediately announced the reduction of the number of people in the harem, and the saved money and food were used for military purposes.

Tao Runai, the secretary of the ministry, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has worked hard to concentrate all the money and materials for the Northern Expedition, which is gratifying."

But Your Majesty is rich in the world, there must be enjoyment, if Your Majesty is tired, you always have to listen to a little song, if there is no one in the palace, this is really not convenient.

Don't say that in the palace, in the past, many dignitaries and nobles had opera troupes at home. ”

Yang Xuan smiled, shook his head and said: "Everyone, the Southern Song Dynasty is in a safe corner, and everyone has lost the courage and determination of the Northern Expedition, mainly because everyone mistakenly regards Hangzhou as Bian Zhou, and the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers only know pleasure, so why is it undefeated?"

In the future, I will build a singing and dancing hall in the city, which can seat three or five hundred people, and as long as there is money, peddlers and pawns can buy tickets to see it.

This not only saves those wealthy families from spending more money on raising drama troupes, but also reduces the turmoil in the house, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

In ancient times, there were many scandals between the old man and the woman in the drama troupe, and now when Yang Xuan said this, everyone claimed that it was.

Seeing everyone like this, Yang Xuan pondered in his heart how to introduce modern dance halls and modern gymnasiums to ancient times.

But this is a later story, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue Xiangfan, just as Zhao Ronggui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, sighed: "Shengshang, this, this is really not a person to sit in the rear to preside over the overall situation, after you led the southern expedition, I tried my best, but I really lacked talent, and I made the phenomenon like this." ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good, you guys are doing a very good job."

Isn't it true that the Tartars have not entered Hanzhong, and the Tartars are still in Fancheng north of the Han River. ”

Wu Zhaoyuan, the prime minister of Zuo, shook his head and said: "Emperor, you said it too lightly, you don't know how dangerous the situation was at that time, when I heard that after the loss of Fancheng, some people said that His Majesty called the emperor and lost the hearts of the people?"

Finally, He Zhen and Liu Tichun still had a conscience, and they resisted desperately, and finally blocked the Tartars north of the Han River. ”

Yang Xuan also felt afraid for a while, although there were no big waves, but the Ming Dynasty was established for more than 270 years, and there were too many people in the Ming clan, although everyone was slaughtered by the Manchu Dynasty, but after all, there were still many wandering villages, and some people actually wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble.

But it's good now, at least everything is calm, if you let yourself start all over again now, then you will definitely not choose to practice meditation in such a remote place in the west of Guangzhou.

At that time, the Mongols captured Xiangfan in the middle and captured the land of Jingchu, and the army of Boyan went down the river to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although the Tartar cavalry was extremely strong, the northerners were not accustomed to water warfare, which was also the main reason why tens of thousands of Tartar elite soldiers besieged Xiangfan for several months without success.

After thinking about this, I became even more interested in the newly built ships with a displacement of 500 tons.

Yang Xuan looked at Song Shihui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, below, and said: "Everyone, all of this is thanks to our Song Shihui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, if there is no strong support from him, how can we have so many strong ships and artillery, how can we have so many Franc cannons and red-coated cannons suitable for field warfare?"

Ladies and gentlemen, in the past, everyone said that it cost too much to build Jingjiang-class gunboats, but now you have also seen that the power of a Jingjiang-class gunboat can be above 4 or 5 vehicles and ships. ”

Song Shihui hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Holy Lord, Weichen is just executing."

It was the Holy Admiral who changed the bird gun to a flintlock pistol and transformed the flintlock pistol production process

It was the Holy One who made bicycles, two-wheeled bicycles, and four-wheeled carriages

It was the prince who passed the Mara Franc cannon, and the Mara red-coated cannon ensured the field role of the cannon.

It was the Holy God who helped us smelt steel

It's the Jingjiang-class gunboat designed by the Holy Lord and the missionary An Siwen.

It's the Holy .........."

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Song Shangshu, you and I don't want to divide each other, everyone says that the world is public."

To be an emperor, a prime minister, or a scholar, you should have a big mind, and we must do whatever is beneficial to the people.

If you do something good, whether you participate in it or not, the people will give a thumbs up and say that the officials of our Chinese Empire sincerely serve the people, and if you do something bad, the people will scold your mother. ”

Wu Zhaoyuan shook his head and said: "The emperor is diligent and loves the people, how can the common people scold their mother?" ”

Yang Xuan smiled: "It's just that you didn't hear it, this is also the reason why I established the parliament, to ask the people to openly express their opinions."

I've heard that Western missionaries built a church so that people could go to the church and receive the inspiration of Jesus.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have tribute institutes in each province, and I would like to set aside some of them as training centers and some of them as universities."

University? When everyone heard this, they looked at Yang Xuan in confusion.

Yang Xuan stood up, nodded, and nodded very smoothly: "Yes, it's the university." Most of us are from the imperial examination background and know the hardships of the examination room, the imperial examination is a single wooden bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and it is often said in the countryside that if you raise people in the examination, it is the ancestral tomb that smokes. ”

In the past, the imperial examination mainly cultivated general-purpose talents, but many professionals were not trained, such as how to design and manufacture weapons, design and build water conservancy, these professionals were completely self-taught through apprenticeship.

Yang Xuan wanted to vigorously promote the natural sciences among students and gradually establish a modern school, following the model of the university in his previous life.

As some people in the previous life said, although Lao Mao is a god of martial arts, but the natural science is poor, in fact, this is not only Lao Mao's fault, in ancient times, because everything is inferior only to read high, everyone desperately wants to study and want to be an official, so often ignore the training of natural science.

It can be said that, compared with the West, China is mainly lagging behind in the natural sciences, and it can be said that it is backward in all aspects.

Wu Zhaoyuan nodded and said: "Saint, the thirty-six lines are the champions, and there are many skilled craftsmen among the people, and they have been like this since ancient times, so we can't interfere." ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, I want to establish a training mechanism to manufacture and train these talents in large quantities.

I don't interfere with the way of worshipping masters from the people, I plan to establish universities in various provinces, so that everyone can find talents in this field from the people to cultivate talents in our counties? ”

Wu Zhaoyuan shook his head and said: "Holy Lord, do you imagine that the pre-Qin princes did to establish a university, just like the Mo family cultivates the children of the Mo family, the Legalist family cultivates the children of the Legalist family, and the soldier family cultivates the children of the soldier family?"

Shengshang, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to depose the Confucianism of the hundred schools, isn't this a little? ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "No, Prime Minister Zuo, think about it, students need to be in Xiucai, and those who don't have Xiucai can only accompany them."

Let's think about it, how many of Xiucai are not our Confucian children?

In addition, in school, you can study arithmetic, natural science (physics, chemistry and biology), study professional courses such as code, study business accounting, weapons manufacturing and other process engineering, study water conservancy and other industrial engineering, study transportation and shipbuilding, study agriculture, learn steel smelting and mining and other technologies.

These are the people we need.

Let's think about it, the imperial examination was a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and I didn't take the exam that day, and there are many people who are very capable of lifting people although they did not pass the exam.

What the country needs most is talent, we can't let them die old, we have to let them come out and make a little contribution to the country. ”

Fan Wenguang was born in Juren, and he failed to pass the Jinshi in several imperial examinations, and even claimed to be true when Yang Xuan said this.

After the deliberation of the Imperial Council, a library was established within the Gongyuan of each province to collect all kinds of related books and establish a book collection system.

A workshop was built in the front yard of the provincial tribute court, and every Monday and Friday the governor, political envoy, imperial history, speaker of parliament, and university professors conducted public training for everyone, and the dignitaries in the city, peddlers and pawns could participate.

One university was established in each province to train various professionals.

Each provincial university needs to have four majors, arithmetic, natural science, and legal code are compiled and studied by the Ministry of Rites, and other disciplines are determined by the Ministry of Rites after submitting training textbooks.

The teachers of the school are uniformly hired by the provincial rite departments, and are awarded five professional titles such as professor and teaching according to their academic level, and their salaries range from the fifth grade to the ninth grade.

Students are selected from among the outstanding talents in the province, and in addition to a certain level of education, each school can formulate a talent selection system related to the major.

There are two types of students: regular students and alternate students, and there are no more than 10 regular students and no more than 5 alternate students in each major.

Enrollment every year, the duration of study is three years, during the study period, each regular student will be given 2 taels of silver per month, and the alternate students will be given 1 tael of silver living allowance.

Those who pass the graduation will be awarded the background, and the work will be arranged by the provincial officials, and the outstanding ones will participate in the national selection, and the top three of the best will be awarded the Jinshi and the first, and the work will be arranged by the officials.

At the same time as the construction of the university, it was decided to open a bachelor's degree this year, and all junior scholars will go to the Hanlin Academy for training for half a year to learn basic natural science (chemistry, physics), arithmetic, and legal knowledge, and those who pass the examination will be awarded corresponding official positions.

Although everyone is quite skeptical, Yang Xuan is full of excitement in his heart, believing that the most important thing in today's society is to promote school education and promote natural science education.

Everyone nodded, in ancient times, building roads and bridges, opening schools, that can be said to be the righteousness of the world, everyone dare not object.
