Chapter 756: School Begins
The expansion of the land area meant that it was much more difficult for Li Yang to control the territory, and various races gathered under Li Yang, the language was chaotic, all kinds of hieroglyphics were even more messy, and many tribes were still in the stage of knotting ropes.

So in the open space east of the capital city, a piece of buildings began to rise at a rapid pace. There is no need to guess, this is the start of Li Yang's new factory.
Paper has served as an important carrier in the thousands of years of world civilization inheritance, from the heavy stone carving, wood carving, bamboo carving, to simple paper writing, human beings can more easily record their knowledge and culture, human body will die, but the human spirit with the carrier of words, through the paper eternal transmission.
Now there is no paper on Ryukyu Island, and there is no paper at all, but Li Yang's paper mill is in hot preparation, the paper manufacturing process is already a mature thing, Li Yang does not need to exchange anything special, and the factory will not have any big economic benefits after completion, but it will play a huge role in supporting the development of Ryukyu Island.
Dozens of fast horse envoys were sent out from Dujiang Castle, and by the end of October at the latest, at least one young man under the age of sixteen from each tribe was required to receive an education from Miyako Academy.
Don't underestimate this person, after such a period of subtle change, people have formed an advanced and noble concept of Central Plains culture in their hearts, and the one sent to study at this time is definitely one of the outstanding young people in the clan, firmly grasping this group of people, and controlling the future of each tribe.
The Miyako School is also in the process of intense expansion, and Li Yang has cleared half of the central area of Dujiang City that originally belonged to the wealthy, and the school and the pavilion will be in these houses by then.
It is only a conservative estimate that the number of people who come to study should not be less than 1,000, although some poor or remote mountain tribes may not have anyone who received this news and sent people out, but in order to prevent the population from bursting at that time, Li Yang still limited the number of people sent by each tribe to three people.
With the passage of time in October, the paper mills were started, and the labor force in the city of Dujiang was separated by the soap factory and the paper factory, and basically no one had to go out of the city to farm, and most of the people in and out of the city were business travelers, and it became more and more similar to Miyakojima.
Papermaking is not complicated, Li Yang does not want to make high-quality paper like rice paper now, he just needs smooth and clean pieces of paper that can be recorded.
The collected plants with rough fibers are steamed and smashed in various processes to make the original slurry, and then the pulp is copied with various flat and leaky plates or bamboo mats, and the fibers are precipitated on the plates, and after drying, they become the prototype of paper.
However, in this era, there are no strong bleaching agents, phosphors and other things, so the only way to make the yellowed or blackened paper fibers white and easy to identify is to use the method of exposure.
Sunlight and high temperature are the best oxidizing agents, and the paper can generally turn white after exposure, although the paper surface is still rough and uneven, but it is certainly no problem for writing.
In addition to paper, there is also a pen, although the brush is one of the essence of Han culture, but the soft nib is not easy to control without a few years of skill, so Li Yang still developed a hard pen, feathers of various materials, suitable ones have been made into quills, accumulated a full house, at least for a year and a half, which makes all kinds of officials who collect bird feathers in several major cities every day can always breathe a sigh of relief.
Miyakojima's schools are also on the right track, and some outstanding students are already able to bring younger students, and the Hou clan has also sent more than a dozen people to lead more than 40 academically outstanding students to Ryukyu Island for a second venture.
Everything is ready, and all that is left is for the various people who come to the class.
Before the middle of October, there were many young and unfamiliar faces in Dujiang City, all of whom had come to the first class of the Ryukyu Miyako School opened by Li Yang.
When the herald messenger gave the order, he explained to all the tribes that the class would not start until most of the people had arrived, so the tribesmen who were relatively close did not need to leave too early.
But these young people can't sit still, most of the tribes have not actually fought directly with Li Yang's Miyakojima army, so their impression of Miyakojima is only to stay in the hearing and those tools that are actually used in their hands, which has greatly aroused their curiosity, and the elders of the clan also know that the world has changed, and they intend to let more outstanding young people go out, maybe they can seek a greater development for their tribe.
These roaring young people came to Dujiang City in less than mid-October, and found that the orderly, clean and fresh Dujiang City was indeed unprecedented, and they were all excited for a while.
Fortunately, Li Yang originally expected this to happen, so he opened the building of Miyako Academy in advance, so that these early birds would not have no place to settle without insects.
Originally, the nature of young people was to be active and make friends, but before they were just in their own tribe, playing with a group of people who grew up knowing their roots. When I went down to the Miyako School, I realized that the outside world was so wide, and I talked with my fellow housemates, and then I sighed that the coast of the East China Sea was like this, and the coast of the South China Sea was like that.
Before school started, just a few days of group life, these young people fell in love with this place, and they looked forward to the next life more and more.
Seven more days passed, and by this time the hall area was almost full, and after the enrollment registration, although it was strictly enforced that only a tribe could send a maximum of three people, and many remote areas and mountainous areas certainly did not send young people, the number of students still reached a terrifying more than 2,000 people.
Now Li Yang's head is really a bit big, these two thousand people don't need tuition, and eating is only a symbolic charge for a little food or other things, although these need to be subsidized is not a small amount, but Li Yang can still afford it, the key is that even if the teachers under his command count the students from Miyakojima, there are only sixty people, and each person is responsible for forty students, which is more than the school stuffed in later generations after the population explosion.
What's more, these students basically start from scratch and need to be taught carefully, rather than leaving you aside and letting you learn on your own, just like higher education.
It is difficult to ride a tiger, so I can only start the class first, but fortunately, the progress at the beginning is to start from scratch according to all of them, so as to avoid the pain of arranging the schedule and shifts.
On October 20, the first training course of the Miyako School in the Ryukyus officially began.
Due to the large number of people, the opening ceremony had to be held in an open space outside the city, and the hastily erected high platform did not look shabby.
The cadet team, which had been organized in a column of 100 people, came out of the hall in a neat line and walked along the main road towards the outside of the city.
