In fact, the Wuling Array, Xia Ren built on a small island in the East China Sea, is not only for Moban to use, the cadres are now running over there with some people, and these forging masters are also qualified to use it.

If you want to build the Enlightenment Array, the most important thing is the Enlightenment Stone, but the Enlightenment Soul Stone has not yet found any place to produce in Great Xia, and the only Enlightenment Stone was purchased by chance from the merchants of the Tamu Dynasty.

Therefore, Xia Ren also instructed Shen Wansan to try his best to buy Wuling Stone on the side of the Tamu Dynasty, it just so happened that the Tamu Dynasty needed a large amount of cotton, and cotton was only produced by Great Xia, so the two sides could cooperate.

Time passed slowly, and two months passed in a flash.

In the past two months, the Ink Ban and the Cadre have taken turns using the Soul Circle, which has greatly increased its efficiency, and the four apprentices under the Ink Ban now have the ability to build a flying wing warship on their own.

Therefore, the construction speed of flying wing warships has increased fivefold from one in March to five in March now, and the Moban is still cultivating talents, and I believe that this speed will increase in the future.

And the cadres have also cultivated a lot of forging masters, so that the supply of the military's black martial arts suits has greatly increased, and there will be more and more legions in Great Xia in the future, and the demand for equipment will be greater and greater, so the forging division has always been in a state of scarcity, and now with the Wuling Array, it can relieve a lot of pressure.

In the past two months, Xia Ren also sent people to inspect the people's situation in the entire Great Xia, and he also knew where to start building the school first.

He has already discussed a complete education system with Huang Chengyan and others, and the preliminary preparations have been made, the teaching materials, the location, the teaching man, the martial arts teacher, etc., are all ready, and now they are just waiting to be announced.

And Xia Ren didn't delay for too long, on the first day of the first month of March, he announced the idea of building a school during the court meeting, and ordered that as long as there is a place for a school, no one is allowed to build a private school, and it is okay to ask for a private teacher, but not to build a private school, and not to compete with the court for students.

As soon as Xia Ren's order came out, although some officials wanted to oppose it, it turned out that the cabinet ministers and the officials of the six ministries came forward to support it, so those ministers had to swallow the words that came to their mouths, but fortunately they didn't say it, otherwise it would be impossible to say that the court would have fewer ministers.

Donghai Prefecture, Donghai City.

As the state capital of Donghai Prefecture, Donghai City will always be the most well-informed place.

"Hey, have you heard? There are new regulations in the imperial court!"

"New rules, what new rules?"

"It seems that the imperial court is going to open schools in various parts of Great Xia, and then recruit the children of Great Xia and start teaching them to read and practice martial arts. ”

"What does this have to do with us? I still expect them to work in the fields in a few years, and if I go to school, who will help me work? And even if I go to school, my family can't afford to provide for it! Isn't this a waste?"

"Alas, what you said is the same, I don't want to send that kid from my family to study, even if I go, it's a waste of money. ”

Many people are talking about this matter, although Xia Ren's notice has not yet been sent here, but it has begun to arrange people to warm up, and now these people are discussing the news released by Xia Ren.

And what these people thought was not unexpected by Xia Ren, sure enough, even in Donghai Prefecture, the people were unwilling to send their children to study, thinking that it was a waste of money and a waste of their own labor.

However, Xia Ren had already prepared, and after a few days, after the imperial court policy arrived, I believe that these people would change their minds.

Three days later, the imperial court's policy arrived, and the officials of Donghai City began to publicize it in the streets and alleys.

The people were also very embarrassed, and they all showed surprise, and then went to the square, ready to listen to the detailed explanations of these officials.

"The people of Donghai City, it is not easy for Your Majesty to read and learn martial arts for the people of Daxia today, so after a long period of discussion, Your Majesty is ready to build a large number of academies in various parts of Daxia to provide for my Daxia children to go to school, so that they can read and practice martial arts from an early age, and they can also serve the imperial court when they grow up in the future. ”

As soon as the official finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted: "My lord, if we let our child study, what will happen to our family's land? And our family has no extra money for him to study and learn martial arts!"

"Yes, we can let our children go to school, but we can't afford it!"

The other people also followed suit.

The official stretched out his hand to stop the people's argument, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, the imperial court has also considered the situation that everyone said, so the imperial court has also made corresponding countermeasures to this." ”

After speaking, he continued to smile: "If the family is an only child, as long as someone is willing to send him to study, then the imperial court will reduce his family's taxes by half until the child finishes studying, if there are multiple children in the family, sending one can be reduced by thirty percent, sending two can be reduced by half, and the maximum will not be more than half." ”

"And, the cost of these children's early education is paid by the imperial court, and no fees will be charged, until the child finishes basic education, if you want to continue to study in the future, you need to be assessed, if the assessment results are good, then you can read for free, if the grades are average and meet the minimum standards, you can also spend money to read, and then it is up to you to decide, and the court will not interfere. ”

"My lord, how long will our children need to study?"

Someone in the crowd asked again.

The official was not at all annoyed, and explained slowly: "If it is time to study, the imperial court will let him study for free for three years, and the academy will teach him some basic knowledge during these three years, and after three years, they can take the assessment and then enter the middle school." ”“

"Secondary schools began to charge, but the cost is very low, most of them can afford, if you really can't afford and want your children to study and practice martial arts, you can also apply to the local government for student aid, after the government assessment, will give you a batch of money for your children to study, but these money can only be used for study, can not be used for other purposes, otherwise it will be severely punished, and the application for student aid must also be from a poor family, otherwise it will be severely punished. ”

"But the middle schools will teach some advanced knowledge, such as some sect secret methods of quenching the body or the Qi cultivation method and the like, and will also teach them some other kinds of knowledge, the middle schools can study for up to five years, and after five years, they must take the assessment, if they pass the assessment, they can enter the institutions of higher learning, and these institutions of higher learning can be personally served by His Majesty today. ”

"And institutions of higher learning are also different, learning different things will enter different institutions, and then it depends on the student's own situation, and institutions of higher learning can not exceed ten years, if you can't graduate within ten years, you will also be forced to graduate, of course, if you are a genius, you can graduate early, and the same is true for secondary universities. ”

"As long as people can successfully graduate from institutions of higher learning, then whether it is the major departments of the imperial court, or the main army guarding the frontier, such as the four major legions that have defeated the barbarians and the Chu army, they will come to recruit, once they enter these places, then they will soar, just around the corner. ”

After talking a lot, this official has just roughly explained the various situations of the school, and there are many specific details, but this official actually doesn't know much about it, and he can't know it until he enters the school.

"Do you have any questions?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one spoke, the officer began to ask.

"My child, at what age did he start studying? My child is a little old, can he go to school?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged man dressed a little more gorgeously asked.

"If the imperial court now recruits students, the uniformity is from the age of five, it doesn't matter if you are more than five years old, you can still go to school, five years old is just a minimum age, but if you are more than eight years old, the imperial court recommends taking a crash course, spending a year, and then learning the basics and taking the secondary school assessment. ”

"Of course, the crash course will be more fortunate, and the students need to work their own, after all, you have to learn what other people have for three years in one year, but the crash course is not mandatory, just a suggestion. ”

After speaking, he continued: "Of course, if the student has basic knowledge, he can also participate in the assessment of the secondary university, and once he passes the assessment, he can also enter the secondary institution to study. ”

In fact, the requirement of no age limit was specially added by Xia Ren, originally with Huang Chengyan's idea, only children between the ages of five and eight were accepted, because this age is easy to teach, and it has not yet been finalized.

But Xia Ren didn't agree, because there are not a few late bloomers, and he also wants to give those who have dreams a chance, it's just more people, Xia Ren said that he can afford it, of course, there is also a minimum age, you can't be more than eighteen years old, more than eighteen years old, you might as well join the army.

At that time, the school will also teach the students separately according to their age, and the time will save the time when the five and fifteen years old sit together in a class.

This kind of propaganda of schools is not only happening in Donghai Prefecture, but also in basically all relatively large cities in the entire Great Xia.

As for those small cities, if you want to study, you can only go to the big cities, after all, the cost is relatively large, and Xia Ren only built the school in the big city in the early stage.

Generally, basic institutions are located in large cities, medium institutions are in county seats, and higher education institutions are in state cities and summer capitals.

This kind of grading is clear at a glance, and it also allows these students to have a sense of climbing up, who doesn't yearn for the state city? Who doesn't yearn for the summer capital? As long as they have a goal, are they still worried that they don't work hard?

There are now only twenty-two institutions of higher learning in the entire Great Xia, ten states in Great Xia, two on each continent, plus two royal schools.

For example, the East China Sea Prefecture is the East China Sea War Academy, the East China Sea Government Affairs Academy, the Barbarian Prefecture is the Barbarian Prefecture Academy, and the Sizhou Prefecture is the Sizhou Academy, and each school is divided into a war school and a government affairs school.

In addition to the Xiazhou War School and the Government Affairs School, Zhongxia Prefecture also has the Royal War School and the Government Affairs School, these two schools were insisted on being formed by court officials, saying that the royal majesty could not be lost, and one must be built, so Xia Ren responded.

There are twenty-two schools, each of which is extremely large, and they are all built outside the city, but they are not far from the city, and there are all kinds of things inside, which is no different from a small city.

Moreover, Xia Ren also spent a lot of effort in it, piling up all kinds of resources in it, and even building a lot of spirit gathering arrays.

I believe that with these, Great Xia will become stronger and stronger in the future, and Xia Ren, as the leader of everything, will also become the biggest beneficiary.
