Speaking of the future, it is the literacy rate problem that Wang Yue mentioned just now. Because he had Ding Yi's permission and agreed to him to form ten new divisions, Wang Yue didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he took the initiative to raise this issue again in front of Ding Yi. So after going down, I asked Ji Liu Ji if he gave Ding Yi an abridgement on this matter?

Liu Ji looked at the trust that Wang Yue received in front of Ding Yi, and immediately said to him: "Senior Brother Shichang, such a trivial matter should be handled by you and my senior brother. If you bother Mr. with all these things, won't Mr. be too busy to be busy? Why don't you accompany the junior brother to find Yao Dazhang! ”

Yao Dazhang is Yao Kui, after setting the team of the government department, Yu Qian became the prime minister, and he became the first vice premier of Taixi Daming, focusing on education and etiquette. Therefore, the lack of cultural teachers, although it is a big fuss to find Yao Kui, it is not unreasonable.

As a result, he went to find Yao Kui and told him about it, Yao Kui stroked his beard, and pointed at Liu Ji with his halberd and shouted: "Liu Youzhi, you villain!" Traitor! A few months ago, he promised that the old man would mobilize 3,000 talents and children to teach in Huaxia, where are he now? His Majesty was still a dragon dive back then, so he ran a academy and sheltered the world's poor family! As a disciple of His Majesty, how can you be indifferent to this matter! Don't you hear about ten years of trees, and a hundred people build people? You are loyal and treacherous, if you damage my Taixi Daming eternal foundation, you are really not a son of man! ”

I didn't know that Yao Kui was originally unpleasant to Liu Ji, so he used the topic to play; Or really angry because of this.

In short, he dragged Wang Yue in the official room, telling that Smyrna, Athens, Ephesus, Rhodes and other places had completed the construction of the academy dormitory. There are no faculty members at all, and students are enrolled. I had to send a teaching team from the First Division of the Praetorian Guard led by Du Ziteng. Those students will be trained in the military first.

"They are all illiterate, whether they are the sons of military households, the heirs of the Great Qin, or the heirs of the Great Food, they are all illiterate!" The more Yao Kui spoke, the more angry he became, and the halberd pointed at Liu Ji and sprayed wildly, "With the son of the military household, the others can't even understand the sergeant's password!" Left and right are taught with sticks! Is this training sergeants, or teaching and educating people? The assimilation of culture. How to implement it! Liu Youzhi, you sinner, don't escape! ”

As for Wang Yue, Yao Kui was very simple: "It's just that Liu Youzhi has fulfilled the three thousand children and talents, and the old man will naturally pull out people to the Shichang army, and it is really difficult to cook without rice at this time!" "So isn't this Wang Yue coming to Liu Ji?

Liu Ji really hid his face and fled, without him, because he couldn't control the sea breeze!

I have explained this matter and asked about it, and I also asked Yang Zongqi to pull out the money. But it hasn't come yet!

Now it's all sailboats, whether the wind direction is not good, whether it sinks halfway, what can he do?

But Wang Yue didn't let him go. It's not that Wang Yue wants to find him, but the problem of illiteracy, which can't be done without teachers.

Although it turned out that Rong Yishi was to eradicate illiteracy. But generally speaking, it is to know hundreds and 1,000 words, and few people can memorize ancient poems. It is normal to miss a pen and make a typo, and it is also at the level of the second and third grades of modern primary school. Can they teach recruit culture classes? That's.

So Wang Yue pestered Liu Ji and said that he had no choice, so he had to beat Liu Ji's staff and scribes.

How can Liu Ji agree? How many official documents and military newspapers come and go every day, can he still handle them all alone? If he didn't have this staff team, he wouldn't have enough hands and ten heads. But Wang Yue ignored him, so Liu Ji had no choice but to escape.

Ding Yi shouted to stop these two guys, and he couldn't help but have a headache.

"At this time, there were only two new divisions, and there was still a shortage of at least 300 cultural instructors. It's still organized into ten divisions...... "Wang Yue had to whisper and report to Ding Yiyu again, because this matter can't be pressed." Otherwise, when the time comes, nine out of ten divisions will be illiterate, and it will be his fault.

"I can't give you so many cultural instructors." Ding Yi raised his head and said to Wang Yue, "Ten divisions, three hundred cultural instructors, there are only so many. Yu Zhiwen went to the East African garrison area and transferred all the fifty cultural instructors of the first garrison regiment first; At the canal yamen, let's see how dozens of people are transferred, and first gather enough 100 people to Shichang, and then make up for the others later. ”

"Yes, sir." When Liu Ji got the will, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't even mention pulling Wang Yue down to do things.

Ding Yi held Liu Yiyi's hand and sighed.

It seems that the policy of elite soldiers really has great limitations.

In ten years, from nearly half of the military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, to most of the military expenditure later, and almost ninety percent of the military expenditure in the end, the way of purchasing ordnance, clothing, equipment, etc., flowed into the hands of Ding Yi, and then it was trained into the first division, the fourth division, and the first division of the Rong Dynasty. The second division and the third division outside the customs are actually one level worse; Ten Marine Brigades are equivalent to two divisions, and they are again first-class.

This is the reason why Ding Yi was able to eradicate the illiteracy rate, not only because of the policy of elite soldiers in terms of equipment and training, but also because of the ideological and cultural education. We should not underestimate the level of the second and third grades of modern primary schools, and we should generally bring the 100,000 or so soldiers of the seven divisions to this level, which is a very large amount of investment in culture and education alone.

"Why don't you help invite some old boys and talents over there in Huaxia at the side of the Ding family's shop?" Liu Yiyi couldn't see Ding Yi worried, so she proposed these plans.

Ding Yi shook his head and said, "No, it can't be like before, and there is indeed no need to make such an investment." ”

"As long as you can understand military orders, cultural education is mainly done at the stage when soldiers are promoted to officers."

Although Ding Yi tried his best to treat everyone equally, he was inevitably a little reluctant to devote himself to the newly formed ten divisions, and the grassroots soldiers were not Chinese. People, after all, still have a belonging.

However, before Ding Yi called Liu Ji to organize the short training course for officers, a messenger came from the British side.

"Nayan, your female knight Margaret, the hygienist saw it and said that she had a body. When I asked her whose seed she was, she said it was Nayan's seed. "The letter was written by Tart Ma Chi Ikirata, and it is unlikely that there will be any literary style, but the matter is clearly explained," I said that Yan was in Smyrna, why is the guy so long? But to say someone else's. It's not like it's coming from Paris. Guarded by a squad of women, they all said. No man had ever slept with Margaret. The staff officer sent by Eunuch Cao was also castrated. I told him to take off his pants on the spot and see that it was castrated with an old knife. Ask this egg counselor, then how can the female knight have a body? He didn't say it, I beat him with a military stick, or I didn't say anything, I just said 'the same party', I broke two military sticks, this guy is tough. I fainted a few times, but I just didn't say it. I called the female soldier squad and escorted the staff officer and the female knight back. ”

"Your Majesty, they'll be there tomorrow." The signal soldier saluted and reported to Ding Yixing.

Ding nodded, smiled bitterly and handed the military report to Cao Jixiang: "Lao Cao, go and talk to Yiyi, I really don't have the face to see her." "It's strange to say, no matter how hard you work hard, it won't work, but you can't do it a few times, but it's a secret knot.

But it was not Ding Yi's expectation. Liu Yiyi and Tianran, who got the letter, quickly came over, their faces were full of joy, and Xue Ning was even more busy. He said that if he prepared the baby's clothes and so on. Liu Yiyi has a plan: "This Margaret is the queen of Fanwang, gave birth to a child, and taught her to go by herself." No, follow Morena's old example. The husband knocked down the British and taught her to be the queen. ”

Ding Yi looked at Liu Yiyi with wide eyes. After a while, he spoke: "Aren't you jealous?" How are you struggling with how to place her? ”

"The concubine sisters are unable to give birth to children for their husbands, and they are already guilty. How dare you be jealous again? Liu Yiyi said, but there was a bit of sadness on her face. In fact, what woman would want to share her husband with others? It's just that the concept of inheritance is really ingrained for them who grew up in this era.

It's not that they are not jealous, but the pressure of passing on the family lineage has long exceeded the problem of jealousy.

For Liu Yiyi, Natural Stay and Xue Ning, this matter feels like a big deal, as for jealousy, it is a trivial matter, and before this problem, it is not worth mentioning. Of course, there are also Hedong lion roars in history, but it is obvious that Ding Yi's wives are not strong women of this type.

"You mean, you think of the UK as a constituent fee plus a surrogacy fee? We're not that big, are we? Ding Yi touched his nose awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "Lady, do you really think that your husband is the king of kings, and you can give a country to others at will?" Egypt is because the Ming Dynasty needs the Suez Canal, so it is based on the situation! ”

If you send troops to the UK, you must at least draw the first division of the Praetorian Guard, military expenses, freight costs, ammunition costs, escort costs, naval guns, ship maintenance, etc., these are all money, and 20,000 people can fight in the past, the question is again, how to defend? Will you send a few more new editors to defend the place where they have been defeated? So the above expenses came again.

"Don't mention this kind of thing in front of Margaret, otherwise, even if there are no casualties, millions of taels of military expenses will be gone!" Ding Yi had to tell Liu Yiyi, that's right, the First Division of the Praetorian Guard went to fight the British army, and it was almost certain that the casualties were very few, but why? Isn't it just to smash it with money? Bullets, shells, rifles, machine guns, which one doesn't cost anything? Which one is cheaper?

After Liu Yiyi nodded to note it, she finally led them out of Ding Yi's study, but Liu Ji came over and asked, "Sir, how to deal with the republican organization over there?" "Because Margaret has been brought back, someone has to preside over the organization there.

"Tart Machi Ikirata." Ding Yi thought for a moment and made up his mind, "Take him as the leader and continue to carry out activities." ”

At this time, in the British Cotswolds, in a tavern between the villages, Tart Machi Ikirata was doing a business with the local nobles: "It's no problem for you to give you this batch of wine, no, I won't accept the settlement next month!" Either you give me cash, or I'll sell it to someone else! This is a good wine from China, not the kind of urine-like beer you have in Europe! Of course, European wine is good! ”

When the little nobleman had departed, his men asked him in bewilderment: "Captain, we have sold all the wine, and in what capacity we are staying in England?" Also, the price he gave just now was good, and the final payment was made in a month, why didn't you agree? ”

"You know!" Tart Machi Ikirata drank down a glass of beer that he had just described as urine, "We're going back to Smyrna, or Paris." In short, will not stay in the UK anymore. Margaret is back, who will preside over the affairs here? It's our business! If you can sell everything, wait for which unlucky guy will come and take over, that's his headache, hahahaha! With that, he drank up another beer. It's a pity that he doesn't know that he will be the unlucky guy in his mouth. (To be continued......)
