Chapter 198 Nine years of compulsory education in 1917

Throughout March, Qin Zhiyuan was busy placing all kinds of manpower.

The lab built for Michelle and Sandy is progressing rapidly, and all the machines have been bought, ready to be installed as soon as the lab is completed. And before that, Sandy couldn't wait to get to work.

Sandy extracted an effective substance from a melon mold, which, like Qin Zhiyuan's words, has been proven to have the ability to kill germs. Sandy thus began further research, with the main goal of figuring out what the substance it acted on.

Sandy's team consisted of 21 people, and in addition to Sandy, they were divided into two groups. Originally, Sandy planned one group to conduct penicillin-related research, and another group to conduct Sandy's original research topic.

However, with the progress of penicillin, Sandy concentrated all his staff on the penicillin group, and the original research was put on hold for the time being.

It was as if a door was slowly opening in front of Sandy, who had already seen the hope of dynamite awards.

Auerbach's work began to bear fruit, and the legendary ascetics began to gather in Corsica, they were all loyal fans of the Knights Templar, numbering between 1,500 and 5,000 people, and now more than 1,000 people have arrived in Corsica, all of whom were arranged by Qin Zhiyuan in Trident City, some joined the navy, and the rest formed a new force, the name of the unit was "Trident", and the military flag was an artistic trident inlaid in front of the Templar's iconic cross.

This is the first time Qin Zhiyuan has seen the symbol of the Knights Templar, and to be honest, it is not as good-looking as the one on Misha!

These ascetics were young and old, some were already old, some were young and strong. Several of them are quite famous scientists, about the same level as Michelle and Sandy. So at the kind invitation of Qin Zhiyuan. These people traveled to Thunder City to continue their previous work.

Ascetics have always been trained as a force of force, and many of them are proficient in warfare, and they are available in all branches of the army, infantry, artillery, and navy. At Qin Zhiyuan's request, a training school for middle- and lower-ranking officers was immediately established. The cadets included not only these ascetics, but also the rank and file officers of the 1st Brigade.

Qin Zhiyuan has never relaxed the training of officers, since the Kapi period, most of the grassroots officers of the First Brigade have received basic training, because of the existence of the competition mechanism, many people are still working hard to self-study, moving towards a higher level. However, due to the limited conditions, the officers were not systematically trained, and most of their experience came from actual combat. The foundation of the theoretical part is not solid. It is just the right opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to make up for this shortcoming.

The immigrants relocated from the Far East finally arrived in Hong Kong, and the vast majority of the first batch of nearly 4,000 people were settled in Thunder, and a small part of the families of the army went to the Trident.

Minors make up the majority of these immigrants, with nearly 3,000 of them, ranging from breastfeeding babies to eleven or twelve-year-olds, with a slightly skewed ratio of men to women. There are fewer girls and more boys.

Children are the future of the Chinese people. Qin Zhiyuan had a clear understanding of this, so the construction of the school was put on the agenda, second only to Michelle and Sandy's laboratories in importance. But after Michelle and Sandy found out, they approached Qin Zhiyuan and strongly demanded that the importance of the school must be put before the laboratory, so Qin Zhiyuan adjusted the funding tilt. Construction began at the same time on four elementary schools, three in Thunder City and one in Trident City.

Qin Zhiyuan demanded that all children related to the First Brigade must join schools to receive basic education, including six years of primary school and three years of secondary school. After secondary school. These children will begin to pursue vocational education in a purposeful manner, with those with good grades and potential going on to higher education, while the rest will join the military or technical schools to learn survival skills.

All fees will be waived while the child is in school, and at the same time, the living allowance will be provided. The scope of the subsidy includes clothing, food, lodging, and even the cost of traveling back to the Far East to visit relatives.

Regarding the children's teachers, Qin Zhiyuan did not have so many suitable teachers, so Tang Zhixin and a group of students who stayed in Europe became the children's teachers.

This is a bit overkill, after all, Tang Zhixin and they can be regarded as highly educated talents even in the 21st century, and they are a handful of people at the top of the pyramid in this era. Tang Zhixin's generation of international students are all real materials, they did not go to Europe to mix academic qualifications, but with the noble idea of returning to China to serve the country after completing their studies.

But this can not be helped, now we can only settle for this stage, and when the older children receive a few years of basic education, they can start to enlighten other children.

In another time and space, when the People's Republic of China was first founded, there was a situation of "graduating from primary school and teaching primary school", but here in Qin Zhiyuan, it is very likely that there will be an extreme situation of "graduating from the first grade and teaching the first grade".

Of course, this does not mean that these children are sad, on the contrary, it may be the luck of these children. Not everyone has the opportunity to receive the enlightenment of international students, let alone a group of international students from the universities of Paris, Aachen and Oxford.

This is Qin Zhiyuan's nine-year compulsory education, a hundred years of compulsory education in advance, so what kind of energy can these children burst out, Qin Zhiyuan is very much looking forward to it.

In the future, Thunder will be built into a city dominated by science and technology, supplemented by commerce. The Trident is built into a city that is mainly military, supplemented by trade.

After the construction was fully rolled out, Qin Zhiyuan finally felt the financial pressure.

In March alone, Qin Zhiyuan spent nearly $2 million on the purchase of various materials, most of which were building materials and various experimental equipment, and the other part was daily necessities. At the end of March, Qin Zhiyuan had to pay the second part of the cost of the 10 Vickers-class destroyers ordered from the United States, which also cost nearly one million dollars, plus Qin Zhiyuan's monthly military expenses and workers' wages.

As a rough calculation, Gaspard actually ran a deficit in March.

The fiscal deficit is not a good phenomenon, not to mention that it seems that there will be so much spending every month in the future, Qin Zhiyuan must find a way to make changes in order to support the normal operation of Corsica.

The way to change the financial situation is nothing more than to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

There is no need to think about throttling, even if Qin Zhiyuan sells his assets, he will not compress the existing expenditure, because the current expenditure is related to the future, even if it is compressed by one shengding, it may lead to a lack of stamina in the future.

Then it can only be open source.

The "LLL" company is temporarily unreliable, penicillin is still in the laboratory, and at present, Qin Zhiyuan has three financial resources in his hands, one is the old Renault, one is Huang Bohan, and finally Auerbach.

Squeezing more benefits from partners is not the best policy, Qin Zhiyuan must have more financial channels if he wants to get more money.
