Since the beginning of the 1908 crossing, if Yang Yuanzhao to choose, in the past 8 years, the most correct thing to do, that is undoubtedly education, in history and the future, all facts have proved that investment in education is the largest rate of return among all investments, but many countries know that the reason why they can't do it is that the investment is too large, at the national level, the popularization of everyone's education will always be a huge investment, especially when catching up with the world's advanced level, On the one hand, it is necessary to introduce advanced technology and introduce machinery and equipment, which requires a large amount of funds, on the other hand, it is necessary to take into account education, there are no elite scientists, and they will always be controlled by others in this field.

In a country, even if there are only 10 million people, but under the age of 18, or even under the age of 15, the number of people enjoying compulsory education is a huge number, 3 million is possible, a person may only need a few hundred yuan a year, but multiplied by the base of 3 million, it is extremely huge. China is different from other countries, with 450 million people, if there is no Yang Yuanzhao, with the help of the all-in-one machine and the advanced concepts of later generations, some of China's industries have been adjusted, and the petrochemical industry and pharmaceuticals are almost money-grabbing industries, and if China wants to complete compulsory education, it may be 10, 20, or even 30 years may not be able to do things.

Take Germany as an example, Germany completed the compulsory education of the whole people with the help of the Franco-Prussian War, and in the Franco-Prussian War, Germany received a large amount of reparations from France, so that it had the spare energy to invest in education, and with decades of life and gathering, it finally became the first power in Europe, and Japan was through the Sino-Japanese War. After obtaining 230 million taels of silver from the Qing Dynasty, this was the initial and compulsory education, but it was really completely perfected and caught up with the world's advanced level in World War I, in which Japan made a profit of at least 4 billion US dollars, and it was this money that made Japan change from a debtor country to a creditor country, and had the spare power to adjust, so that Japan's scientific and technological level went to a higher level.

Compared with them, China did not have this opportunity in history, until after the reform and opening up, it was only guaranteed 9 years of compulsory education, and it did not fully cover the poor areas of the old and the young.

Because of the huge investment, at the very beginning, there were some controversies about whether compulsory education was compulsory, and even caused a series of quarrels, and finally Yang Yuanzhao pushed the crowd out, and the funds for compulsory education were borne by the Baotou Chamber of Commerce. Generally, students from poor families cannot afford to go to school, because they have no food to eat, so they have to go out to work to support their families.

But now, the tuition is free, and they can still manage the food, and the food is better than at home, in this case, there are a few parents, unwilling to create better conditions for their children, especially in the rapid development of the northwest, the demand for manpower, reached the extreme, at that time in the northwest of the prime-aged labor, there is no shortage of child labor to work, especially after the northwest has perfected the order, the crackdown on child labor is strengthening, child labor in the northwest, there is no market.

Let as many children as possible enter the school, learn scientific knowledge, instead of working with immature hands, this is a slogan in the northwest at that time, when the country is finally unified, expand to the whole country, it is this kind of investment regardless of the cost, in just 8 years, from 1908, China's illiteracy rate of more than 9 into 9, to now, in 1916, nearly 98% of the literacy rate, on the one hand, educated, skilled workers can earn more money, the rapid development of China's economy, Let the unemployment rate be reduced to a minimum, they are not afraid of the problem of not getting money after learning knowledge, countless examples have proved that as long as you are willing to learn, you will be able to increase the level of wages.

In addition to their own learning can increase income, on the other hand, is the importance of young people, starting from 1911, the illiteracy rate of young people from 9 to 9, down by 0.1%, and then gradually reduced, sweeping away all the corners, now, for the whole of China, the illiteracy rate of young people under the age of 12 may have been reduced to less than 0.01%, For the nearly 150 million teenagers between the ages of 6 and 18 in the country, only a few hundred thousand or even tens of thousands of people in the whole country do not go to school, which is unimaginable for a territory of 33 million square kilometers and 800 million people.

Education is the best investment, one-time investment, will be in the future, continuous income, from the beginning of the industrial revolution, in every rising country, there is no discomfort to value education, which is also Yang Yuanzhao, at the beginning, to determine the fundamental reason for this concept, with the expansion of the central government, simply by the chamber of commerce or radical to bear, this is not very suitable, not to say that the chamber of commerce has no money, the chamber of commerce is still the largest chaebol in China, the control of funds more than one trillion, even in China's gross national product, There is a considerable part that is provided by the Baotou Chamber of Commerce.

In order to avoid detours in the future, Yang Yuanzhao stipulated certain rules from the first time, before the government had no capital, and now with the government's more and more financial revenue, Yang Yuanzhao began to withdraw from the host.

The central government's finances are more sound, and the amount of funds has increased, these most basic inputs are still borne by the central government, so that it is more smooth, and the government will have special departments to engage in it, more professional, so that the Chamber of Commerce and Yang Yuanzhao himself will pay more attention to other fields, such as giving young people, adding a glass of milk per person, nutritional supplement programs, and some public welfare funds.

These are places that the government cannot set foot in, but in fact, for the growth of young people, there are huge benefits to the project, and the investment is huge, there is no profit, and only Yang Yuanzhao, who has abundant funds, and regardless of the cost, is willing to invest just for the sake of China's better, can do this.

Yang Yuanzhao made a good start in this way, in itself, in China's traditional education, benevolence is a key to evaluating the gentry, the good gentry returned to their hometowns, built bridges and paved roads, built schools, and educated their neighbors, which itself is a fine tradition, and therefore China's charity, and later generations of China's charity, embarked on a completely different path, under the premise of bearing taxes, bear more charitable obligations.

In this way, it is not a one-time delivery, but gradually, according to a trend to deliver, starting from primary school, gradually transferring middle school, high school, and finally university, China's compulsory education has reached 12 years, covering all education from primary school to high school, and university education has also adopted a 50% obligation and 50% scholarship system, as long as poor students are willing to learn, willing to work hard, just with this most basic scholarship, can complete university education, especially outstanding, You can also enjoy a high scholarship given by enterprises or cooperative units, take Northwest University as an example, the highest subject scholarship is petrochemical majors, you can get up to 80,000 yuan a year, and the school scholarship can get up to 150,000 yuan.

It sounds terrifying, but according to the number of students enrolled in Northwest University every year, close to 180,000 people, the number of first-class scholarships for a major is only 15-20 people, as for the number of school scholarships, it is controlled at 10 people, it can be seen that the difficulty of getting is the most basic, the fourth-class scholarship that popularizes most students, as long as it is a pass in all subjects, it can be obtained, and his coverage almost occupies more than 70% of the entire university.

As for full coverage, it is impossible, after all, if there is no way to achieve a passing grade in a university education, then there is no point in scholarships, scholarships are for encouraging upward students, not nannies, otherwise, it would be good to directly reduce the full amount, there is no need to do more.

For the time being, Chinese students are still working hard, the new generation in the honeypot has not grown up, most of them still have the memory of the past difficult days, as long as they are admitted to the university, there is almost no messing around, 70% coverage refers to the overall situation, most of which are occasionally one or two partial subjects, the vast majority of students have seriously completed the education in the university, and really learned knowledge, successfully graduated, and devoted themselves to China, development and construction.

Elementary school, middle school, high school, and even university education, they all belong to basic education, but there are a little more people involved, probably in 1911, when China was founded, there were already 6 years of compulsory education in primary school, in 1912 it was extended to 9 years, in 1913 it was extended to 12 years, and then less than half a year, it took over the university, but it was more than 2 years and almost 3 years, and for the university funding, this belongs to the central government.

On the one hand, to reduce the chaos caused by one-time one-size-fits-all, it can be regarded as to reduce the burden on the government to a certain extent, starting from 1913, is the fastest growing stage of China's economy and gross national product, China in such a smooth transition, finally from 12 years of compulsory education, to the basic education coverage of universities, and finally to the last step, the investment in education and scientific research, this one is the largest, but also endless, as long as the country has money, capital, you can continue to invest, and money and results, It is almost proportional to the development of science and technology.
