Chapter 409: Weapons, Education

After Su Ziheng came back, he heard Zhong Qinghan mention this matter, and he immediately agreed.

Zhong Qinghan hesitated and said: "Ziheng, our navy still uses long knives and spears, and the muskets themselves are not enough to use, wouldn't it be good to sell them to them?" ”

Su Ziheng looked around left and right, and now in the garden of the princess's mansion in Donghai County, in addition to him and Zhong Qinghan, the other few are Bo Yalun, Zhao Wan'er, Zhang Wanqing and several of their maids, all of whom are their own people, and there are no outsiders inside.

Su Ziheng gently held Zhong Qinghan's soft hair, and chuckled: "Don't worry, Qinghan, this time I got a lot of good things back from Lord Longshen, more than 3,000 breech flintlock pistols, enough to eliminate all the previous arquebuses, and when the time comes, deal with all these muskets that are easy to explode and difficult to use." But in this transaction, we don't want silver taels, all of them are exchanged for ore, especially iron ore. ”

Zhong Qinghan was a little shy and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Su Ziheng's strength was getting stronger and stronger, and she didn't let her struggle away, she knew that Su Ziheng was trying to comfort herself. Originally, according to the plan, Su Ziheng came back this time to marry himself, but who would have expected that because Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, rebelled, the person in charge of presiding over the big wedding in the capital Chang'an Zongren Mansion could not come, and his big wedding could only be put on hold temporarily.

However, Su Ziheng had already promised himself that he would wait for another two months, if the rebellion of the King of Chu had not been quelled, Su Ziheng had also decided not to wait for the people from the Zongren Mansion to preside over the wedding, and he would finish the marriage first.

Zhong Qinghan raised his head and said in surprise: "Ziheng, although there are a lot of iron ores in the territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, they may not give it, right?" And we don't have that many people mining ore now. ”

Su Ziheng said with a smile: "Then I don't care, in short, they don't want to trade with us if they don't use ore." As for transporting ore, we have a growing fleet of ships now, and as long as we build a steel mill, we don't have to worry about not being able to consume it. This time, in addition to the flintlock pistol, I also got a lot of steam engines, lathes and other tools, and when the Lantern Festival was over, I immediately asked the workers to start construction and build the industrial park. ”

Donghae Province is not a large area, and now there are so many people living in it, if you want to develop, it is unrealistic to rely entirely on agriculture, and you must vigorously develop industry in order to support more and more people.

In fact, don't look at the 150,000 people, if you really lose the previous life, on the earth, a slightly larger factory, the number of people can easily exceed 10,000, and more than 100,000 factories abound.

Only by vigorously developing industry can Donghae Province truly develop, and the more war periods there are, the easier it is to get rich.

You must know that no matter what era it is, the arms trade is a lucrative business.

Su Ziheng was not afraid that the weapons he sold would pose a threat to Donghai Mansion, and the weapons that could be sold were at least the ones he had eliminated. And after selling it for money, it is better to develop advanced weapons.

Su Ziheng has an encyclopedia on his body, and it can be said that there is no difficulty in technology at all, and what really restricts the development of Donghai Mansion is basic industry and all kinds of talents.

Thinking of this, Su Ziheng turned his head to Bo Yalun, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Xiaoxiao, is there anything you want to do when you come to Donghai Mansion?" You can't take Xiaobao at home every day, can you? ”

Bo Yalun was watching Zhang Wanqing holding her son and playing at the moment, and when she heard this, she came back to her senses and said, "Xianggong, since I am back with you, naturally everything is up to your arrangement." ”

Su Ziheng thought for a while and said: "Although Donghai Mansion is in ruins now, there are people occupying many positions, if you are presumptuously inserted into it, it is not good that you are not familiar with these." I don't think it's better to go to my White Deer Academy as the dean first, and then arrest the education first. As the population of Tokai Province increases, there will be more and more families, and our Donghai Province is different from other places, no matter whose children are, as long as they are of the right age, they must be enlightened. ”

"When the time comes, you will be responsible for setting up an education department to deal with these related matters. After a while, you get acquainted with other people in Donghai Mansion, and then transfer to another position, what do you think? ”

The Ministry of Education is a newly established department in Donghai Province, and it does not have too many interests with others, and now it is all under the control of Su Ziheng.

However, as the development of Donghai Mansion became faster and faster, Su Ziheng had more and more things to worry about, and he gradually couldn't handle the affairs of Bailu Academy, so he just took advantage of Bo Yalun's arrival to hand over this to her.

Although there are not many benefits in the short term, in the long run, this department is better than any other department. Just imagine that a few years later, all the students in Donghai Mansion will graduate from Bailu Academy, and the feeling of peach and plum in the world is simply not too cool.

When the time comes, if you have something to do, isn't that a matter of words?

Bo Yalun is a very smart person, she can naturally see the benefits at a glance, and immediately nod her head in agreement.

Zhong Qinghan is also happy to see this, no matter what, they are all their own people, and this important position cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.

Next, everyone discussed the expansion of Bailu Academy, and Su Ziheng proposed that Bailu Academy be divided into several large colleges, including the Enlightenment College, which is responsible for the enlightenment of all students, and specializes in recruiting students from six to ten years old.

After the initiation, they began to enter the more advanced colleges according to their interests and hobbies.

Among them are the technical colleges, which are responsible for teaching various technologies, and this study time will be very long, from almost ten to eighteen years old.

After the age of eighteen, even if you are an adult, you can choose to continue your studies in the college, or you can choose to go out to work, depending on your personal wishes.

Don't look at the cultivation until the age of eighteen, in fact, the price to be paid in the process of Donghai Mansion will be very high. Su Ziheng plans to invest one-tenth of Donghae's annual income in education and scientific research.

When the construction of Donghai Mansion is about the same, this investment ratio may increase year by year in the future. Now at the beginning, there is naturally no need to invest too much, the most important thing is that the infrastructure of Donghai Fucheng has not been completely laid, and it is estimated that it is impossible to allocate too much money to invest in it within ten years.

After the infrastructure construction of Donghai Mansion is completed, the next step should be to develop Zhenbao Island, which is Su Ziheng's back road. With Zhenbao Island here, no matter whether Donghai Mansion will face the attack of the chaotic army in the future, Su Ziheng will not worry that they will be homeless.

As for whether Zhenbao Island will also be attacked, Su Ziheng doesn't have to worry about it at all, with the current navies of various countries, it can basically be said that no one is the opponent of the Donghai Mansion Naval Army.
