More than 20 years later, the 71st year of the Chinese calendar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Jian Chen is old.

With a population of 280,000, the royal capital of Huacheng is already the most prosperous city in the known world.

The compulsory five-year compulsory education has increased the literacy and enlightenment rate of the new generation around Hwaseong to 80%.

Under the policy of inheritance of the eldest son and allowing private sale of land, those who have money have become richer and have more financial resources to support the development of distant places.

With the meager property allocated by the family, the eldest sons of the non-concubines either studied hard to become officials and join the army, or under the guidance of the government, they could build cities and towns further away to reclaim and develop, or they could only work in Hwaseong and plant with others.

As for the descendants of those slave commoners, it doesn't matter whether they are the eldest sons or not, there is really nothing to share.

The largest landowner owned 12,000 acres of land, and there were many people working there, not on the tenant system, but on the salary system, and the annual payment was not grain but money.

The largest cotton weaving workshop has 800 looms, and there are various spinning workshops to work with it.

Many people work in private cotton and wool workshops, as well as in transport, shipbuilding, smelting, etc.

Because of the government-led reclamation program for adult immigrants, the mill owners had to pay modest wages in exchange for the advantages of urban life.

During the five-year buffer period after the promulgation of the Education Act, Xia Guo trained a large number of enlightened teachers, after which Chen Jian basically no longer governed Xia Guo's political affairs, but devoted himself to education.

With the love and support of the whole people, with unrivaled prestige, no one is born with the idea of seizing power, maybe there is, but in a flash this idea is consciously forgotten.

In the past 20 years, Chen Jian has been the president of Jixia Academy, and has turned Jixia Academy into a university, offering literature, management, arithmetic, statistics, smelting, agriculture, medicine, architecture, military, nature and other disciplines.

When it comes to college, many things are actually at the junior high school level, and many of them know what they are but don't know why.

In the smelting class and the nature class, Chen Jian did several experiments.

Place the candle in a sink of clarified lime water, close the glass, and wait until the water level rises when the candle goes out. Chen Jian said that air is physical, and what can support combustion is a certain gas. If this gas is considered as yang, then the opposite is yin, which is only opposed to yang energy, which can support combustion, and can make lime water turbid.

Then, the iron was taken out and rusted on the surface of the water, and after distillation, it was sealed and not rusted in the bottle with the yang energy removed. In this way, the students of the smelting class were told that the red iron ore was produced by iron and yang energy.

After using charcoal to react with calcined copper oxide, the gas can still make the lime water turbid, thus telling young people that the so-called smelting is to use charcoal or messy things to replace the yang energy in it, so as to turn it into metal.

In the winter, I did an experiment of pure water and salt water, and when the pure water froze, the salt water did not fart, so I told the young people: pure water needs a higher temperature to melt, and mixed salt water needs a lower temperature to melt.

From this, bronze and copper were taken out and tested, and the results were the same.

Subsequently, a young man put forward the idea that since iron was smelted with charcoal, charcoal and iron must have been mixed together. Therefore, when the pig iron melts, the wrought iron cannot be melted, and with the stirring in the smelting furnace, the carbon in the pig iron and the yang energy in the air are mixed and become yin qi flying out, so at the same temperature, the pig iron gradually thickens and finally solidifies.

In fact, there is still a long way to go from the truth, but it is an irrefutable truth in this era, Chen Jian praised it very much, and engraved the name of this young man in the Shrine of the Sages, which will be worshiped by the state in the future.

From this, Chen Jian deduced another strange theory of yin and yang, some things are inherently masculine, and some things are inherently masculine, and these two things that are extremely strong in yin and yang are combined, and only by relying on the stronger masculine thing to snatch the negative, and replace the kind that is not too strong in the masculine, and vice versa.

And put forward the concept of indivisible and divisible substances of strange compounds and elements, relying on a large amount of resources in hand, with copper and zinc two metal plates and electrolyte solution to make a stack, point out the water, tell young people not to think that what you see is real, in fact, water itself is also a divisible thing.

As a result, Ji Xia Xuegong had an additional chemistry class, and with these simple and expensive experiments, the new generation of the chemistry class prescribed several convicted and known indivisible elements. Hydrogen, iron, copper, yang, carbon, zinc, lead, chlorine, gold, silver, mercury......

All kinds of quirky experiments are fun and inspire the younger generation to want to understand the origin of the world. Almost every month, strange articles are written on the booklet "Nature", which can be printed, relying on the copper and zinc plates supported by the entire Xia Kingdom, all kinds of strange discoveries continue to impact the world in the hearts of the older generation.

These are the same as the math class debates about what a circle is, starting with artificial, agreed-upon definitions of things, and then using those definitions to reason new things.

What is known is known, and what is not known is not known; Seeing the world, interpreting the world, and changing the world, these five sentences engraved on the Sage Table, originally called the High Priest's Table, became the dream of these young people. It is too difficult to explain the whole world, so let's start with little things, and young people believe that there must be a unified rule between the universe and the world, which people still do not know, and can unite from man to all things, from chemistry to nature, from smelting to agriculture.

It's just that no one tries to do such a thing for the time being, because the more is discovered, the more gaps and knowledge there are between the various disciplines, and the more difficult it is to come up with a way to unify all this, to explain the relationship between heaven, earth and man, and no one has ever dared to touch the position of the high priest.

Unless one day someone comes up with a grand unified theory that can explain the origin of everything, and everyone agrees with it by experimentation, but at that time, will the high priest still be meaningful? Besides, this kind of experiment that requires the explosion of stars and the restart of the universe seems to be quite difficult to do.

It is by relying on such simple experiments that Chen Jian has gradually enriched all kinds of strange but quickly accepted theories. In particular, the friction electricity is explained by yin and yang, which is extremely simple, so the people of Xia know that the lightning in the sky is just a phenomenon of yin and yang electricity colliding together, which is the same as the sparks when they rub their sweaters or take off their clothes at night.

All kinds of connecting rods and crankshafts that Chen Jian knew were knocked out by hand by the students little by little, which had no practical effect, but they explained a possibility, and also explained the operating principles of water hammer, windmills, bellows, etc.

One person can't support all the sciences, but he can make it to the level of the third grade of junior high school, and even some subjects are only at the level of the fourth grade of primary school.

This seemingly meaningless investment has brought great wealth to the entire Xia Kingdom.

Under the compulsory five-year compulsory education, Xia Guo had a large number of disciplined workers and soldiers who had been trained since childhood.

The various pamphlets and encouragement of research have already begun to bring benefits, starting with cotton pesticide, Bordeaux liquid, hydraulic hammers, artificial breeding of cattle and horses, looms, spinning machines, and then huge sums of money from the smelting department in the hope that the students of the Jixia Academy will burn new refractory bricks, the military hopes that the students of the school palace will make muskets that can be fired directly, and the big farmers are eager for a machine that can be pulled to harvest......

Everything is different from before, Chen Jian has accepted a lot of disciples in the past fifteen years, and he has lost count of many of them, teaching many things he knows to these young people who have been educated in the Xia State system since birth, and also instilling in them the concepts of equality and justice, the unity of all the Chinese tribes, etc.

Twenty years is a long time, long enough to make the Chinese colonists in the previous life shave their hair and forget the Han people; It can make the Indian chief learn to read the law in English, from never seeing a horse to learning to ride a horse and shoot a gun; Of course, you can also erect pyramids and set up Stonehenge to refine the five stone scatter......

Twenty years is short again, so short that Chen Jian feels that he has not done many things, and he is old.

He directed the compilation of the Dictionary, leaving a lot of room for something new.

He asked people to travel all over the feudal country and the great rivers, and wrote down the wind, people, land, and output there.

With his memory, he used the excuse of sleepwalking in the ancestral country to write a bunch of stories that happened in the ancestral country or in another dimension, and explained some strange idioms and stories in the form of small stories, such as how not to eat minced meat.

He built a hundred enlightenment schools, ten secondary schools, and one university school in and near the capital of the Xia Kingdom. In the past 20 years, he has trained 2,000 gentlemen who can teach enlightenment education, smashed everything and re-established it, and forced it to be implemented in the Xia Kingdom with strict compulsory education laws.

He asked the military factory to build more than 200 cannons as a reward for the feudal state, and built 30,000 arquebuses that could finally be used with serpentine rods and buckle plates to start the box, smashed out steel knives, and pierced armor, forming a technical advantage over the surrounding ethnic groups for at least 400 years.

Ten years after recuperating in the cities of the various tribes, he built roads leading to the various feudal states and promoted exchanges between the various cities.

With the strength of the whole country and the trade with the rest of the feudal states, he created a large number of private textile mills, river shipyards, and ironware factories.

And now, the strange monster that had been mixed together finally opened its mouth.

Cheap labor, markets, raw materials, and more cost-effective modes of transportation all came out twenty years later, looking forward to a new kind of development.

And all this has nothing to do with him, he is old, old enough to complete the transfer of power and come up with a law that can sustain two hundred years of colonial development and bloody accumulation before he dies.

There is nothing that lasts forever, and if all this is bad in the future, then let future generations overthrow it.

Morality...... It is to be dependent on the times, and it is also slowly produced, and when the strange beasts of the Xia Kingdom begin to devour everything, there will naturally be corresponding morality that conforms to the productive forces and production relations to maintain the rule of the ruling class.
