"In addition, the newly developed roller skate has also begun to be prepared for mass production, and the initial production quantity can be equipped with all the mechanical facilities of the army, including grain trucks, catapults, siege vehicles, etc. In civil use, according to His Royal Highness's suggestion, we have used the improved irrigation water wheel of roller skating, which is much more powerful than the old water wheel, and the irrigation volume is very considerable, and it is expected that it will be fully operational in the next three years. Zhou Gongyi continued to explain to Yang Yi the research results of the Wuzhishan Research Institute.

Yang Yi nodded with satisfaction, the perfection of roller skating technology will make the original machinery reach the most perfect critical point, especially the emergence of advanced water conservancy irrigation vehicles, which will greatly improve agricultural production efficiency and play a vital role in the promotion of the entire agricultural production.

However, the successful development of hybrid rice and the application of new waterwheels, these two new technologies want to be widely used, and the prerequisite is that the water conservancy in Shuzhong has been comprehensively improved.

Wen Jihuai's Yuzui Bay Water Conservancy Project is now in full swing, river channel reconstruction and sand weir have begun to take shape, the only thing that has not made progress is to dig the outer river for diversion, which is also the top priority of the Yuzui Bay Water Conservancy Project, and it is also the most difficult link.

The problem came back again, there was no explosives, and it was too difficult to dig a waterway out of the mountains next to Yuzui Bay, not only did it consume countless manpower and material resources, but the time it took was also something that Yang Yi and the people of Shuzhong could not afford to wait.

Yang Yi understands that the matter of gunpowder is absolutely impatient, and mistakes will be made in the busyness, and if there is any more accident, he really can't afford it.

"After this matter is over, you presided over a commendation meeting, and awarded medals and bonuses to all meritorious people, in addition, we have a new hero and martyr commendation mechanism in Shuzhong not long ago, and all those killed in the accident were awarded the title of martyrs in Shuzhong and recorded in the merit record of Shuzhong."

Zhou Gongyi wept bitterly when he heard this, and leaned over and bowed: "Your Highness... Gong Yi thanked His Highness for all the brothers who died. ”

Yang Yi got up and stepped forward to help Zhou Gongyi up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "If Shuzhong is a chariot advancing at full speed, Wuzhishan is the driving core of this chariot's progress, and if there is a problem with the core, this chariot will stagnate." You and I carry more weight than anyone else, and a strong will is a must. ”

Zhou Gongyi nodded, although his eyes were still full of tears, he was no longer as decadent and lost as he was just now.

"I'll go back to Chengzhou Mansion in the afternoon, and I'll leave the matter here to you. Oh, there's one more thing you need to do. ”

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Through the lessons of this accident, I have discovered that talent is really beyond our means, and it is not a way for us to look for it all over the world. So I'm going to open a few branches in Guangming Academy, recruit some students or craftsmen with a technical foundation to come in, there is no age limit, when you choose some more senior craftsmen in the Wuzhishan Research Institute, you don't need to have much academic knowledge, as long as you have good achievements in your own skills, they will teach as teachers. ”

This is a question that Yang Yi suddenly figured out in the past few days in Wuzhi Mountain, and all along, he has entered a big misunderstanding, always thinking that as a traverser, running a school should go to a higher education institution to teach profound knowledge. But Yang Yi suddenly figured out in the past two days, if he wants to establish a college like Tsinghua University and Peking University, it is definitely not something that can be done in a while, and this kind of student talent in a higher education institution cannot be used in a short time.

So, why don't you start from the basics and start a college like a vocational high school or technical secondary school? And if the program can be simplified and only one skill can be taught to students, the efficiency will be increased countless times.

However, this kind of academy also has a disadvantage, that is, teachers are difficult to find!

In ancient times, when information was blocked, the craftsmanship of craftsmen was basically passed down from generation to generation, and many times they regarded their craftsmanship as more important than their own lives, and it was probably more difficult to let them teach it selflessly.

Therefore, Yang Yi decided to merge the Wuzhishan Research Institute and Guangming Academy, so that they could become a common system and expand together as his own private domain. In other words, in a short period of time, the students who graduated from Guangming Academy will only enter the Wuzhishan Research Institute to work, so that there will be no such thing as a loss of skills.

If it is in the macro concept, a learned Confucian is naturally much more important than ordinary people, but if it is from the perspective of practicality, a craftsman with a skill is far more liked by Yang Yi.

Moreover, the combination of Guangming Academy and Wuzhishan Research Institute can also greatly promote Yang Yi's ideas and strategies for establishing a new social system. A place to produce a steady stream of talents, a place to use talents for practice, and then cycle back to create talents, this is a very perfect division of labor system, once the system is perfected, then the development and construction of Shuzhong will be geometrically growing.

At the same time, because the things involved in these two places were extremely secret, Yang Yi also came up with a new idea, that is, to set up a new department to review and monitor the loyalty of all personnel and optimize the thinking of the army and the people.

It stands to reason that the Dark Emissary can take on such a responsibility, but the Dark Emissary's way of acting is too dark, and once it is not well controlled, it will become a filthy place like the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei or the East Factory and the West Factory in the previous life, and Yang Yi can not be extremely cruel to the enemy, but he must not be so cruel to his own people.

At this point, Yang Yi immediately thought of the "Political Department", a special department that he had always heard of in his previous life, and having this department stationed in various key places, including the army, was very helpful for him to control the situation.

However, this name is not too suitable for this era, the main responsibility of this yamen is to correct people's thoughts, and the mainstream ideas of this era still come from the "Four Books and Five Classics", therefore, Yang Yi decided to name this department "Five Classics Yamen".

The "Five Classics Yamen" do not have any real power, only the right to report but not the right to execute, and there will be no substantive conflict with those who hold real power or the generals of the army, and their role is to improve the morale of the army and the people.

Wuzhishan Research Institute and Guangming Academy are Yang Yi's experimental sites, and any new ideas of Yang Yi will start from here, and then after observation, verify that his ideas are correct or have no conflict with this era, and then use them in the civilian and military areas.

In a very literary saying: this is where the dream begins.
