Yuzhang County, Anping County, Meiling!

A barren land not far from Qingniuguan, which was originally a small forest, and then Xu Hao built a logging field, under the efficiency of the steam engine, in less than half a year, tens of thousands of trees were cut down, and then cut down to affect Meiling, so Xu Hao let this logging field end its mission, but let the lumberjacks turn into farmers, and their land ended the wasteland they cut down.

Now the ground is crisscrossed with fire ditches, thousands of wooden piles, and thousands of peasants around them!

The village chief shouted to alert everyone to attention, and then threw a torch at the back of the fire ditch.

The wasteland is overgrown with wild grass, wattles and other shrubs all year round, and it is difficult to clear out the land, so everyone simply burns all these weeds and wattles with a fire, and the grass and wood ash can also fertilize the land.

After the fire was burned, everyone dug out the wooden piles, chopped them as firewood, and then they built canals, built roads, divided their own land, and then worked hard to open up the wasteland, and when they planted food in the next year, they would settle down in Yuzhang County.

Not far from them is a humble village! The houses around are common, only a two-story building appears in the center of the village, which is better than the houses in the ordinary city, if someone from Xu Hao's world comes here, they will immediately recognize it, this is not the town center of the imperial era!

And this is where Xu Hao asked for the construction, and the village's primary school, hospital and supply society are all placed here.

Xu Hao consulted modern experts, and the experts proposed to Xu Hao to vigorously develop the textile industry, because this was the industry that could absorb the most labor during the first scientific and technological revolution, even in later generations, a textile factory was tens of thousands of people.

There is also the expansion of new factories in Xu Hao Industrial Zone, like cement factories, canning factories, etc., match factories, flour mills, basically some light industries, and there are no technical requirements, which can absorb a large number of refugees, in fact, Xu Hao also wants to go to what machinery factories, steel factories, and other heavy industries, but there are not enough qualified talents, and even now there are not enough carpenters, blacksmiths, and stonemasons.

Xu Hao realized the importance of talents for the first time, and if he hadn't trained thousands of primary school students a few years earlier, he probably wouldn't have been able to develop the current industrial zone.

Experts all said that Xu Hao was lucky, he trained thousands of primary school students a few years ago, otherwise he would be even more embarrassed! Even now in the face of the rapid development of industry and the continuous influx of refugees, Yuzhang County is very short of talents, whether it is management talents who can manage a village, or skilled talents, even blacksmiths, stonemasons, carpenters, and there is a lack of demon masters to protect the refugees who reclaim the fields in the wild.

The expert even said directly to Xu Hao that if you want to develop industrialization rapidly, talent is indispensable, and now he can rely on thousands of primary school students for the first scientific and technological revolution, and when it comes to the second time, he wants tens of thousands of high school students, and the third time there are no hundreds of thousands of college students who don't want to think about it, and the fourth time, even if he copies these technologies, but there are no millions of doctoral-level talents, even if they can't be copied, not to mention the atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb, these are the average college students can be made according to the drawings? How many college students can understand quantum mechanics?

The more technology goes, the higher the academic qualifications are required. That's why Xu Haocai established a primary school in every village, even if it is a few words of literacy.

In order to make them pay more attention to reading, the village has more students, more literate people, and more students who can go to middle school to study, and they can be relieved of their debts! The more people there are, the higher the exemption, and even other benefits are based on learning, so the villagers here are all concentrated in the center of the town to read and write after their hard work every day, and this is the only place where there is light after dark.

And over the years, Xu Hao has cultivated thousands of students who have come in handy, they are not only literate but also practice martial arts, it can be said that they are both martial arts, they have the strength of the acquired realm, and they can also run away from ordinary goblins! You can also be a teacher to teach children to read, and it can be said that each of them is a compound talent.

Xu Hao basically arranges for the next such student in each village to ensure the development of these villages.

Xu Hao has placed a fluorescent lamp in the center of a village and town, driven by a small generator, which is a bicycle-type generator, and basically a child can maintain a day's electricity for half an hour.

This little bit of light makes the village center a favorite place for everyone to stay at night.

On this day, the village chief called everyone and said: "Who else hasn't recognized enough 500 words, hurry up and find Teacher Xiao Wang to make up the class, you can't pull our village back!" ”

The surrounding villagers were dissatisfied: "I am tired and half dead every day, and there is still time to read and write!" ”

"I basically recognize it at night, forget it during the day, and now I can write my name, but that's enough, what's the use of us recognizing?"

"Quiet!" The prestige of the village chief is very high, and as soon as he says it, everyone will immediately quiet down!

The village chief said angrily: "It's really mud that can't support the wall, Xu Xianren gave us food, clothes let us survive, and now we are given farm tools to let them open up wasteland and farm, let Xiao Wang teach us to read and write, don't be blind, you are not satisfied, you don't care about the things you arranged, your conscience is eaten by dogs!" ”

The villagers were embarrassed to be said, but they still muttered quietly: "I can't remember this, what can we do, the baby can learn it!" ”

At this time, Mr. Xiao Wang said: "Senior brother, I got tens of thousands of ploughing cattle from the grassland, and this distribution is distributed according to the literacy rate of each village, and now there are thousands of villages like us in Yuzhang County, if we are not many literate people, there may only be one ploughing ox at that time, or even none!" ”

"Ploughing the cow!" Apparently everyone is more interested in this big animal!

Teacher Xiao Wang said: "And you are more literate, you can also enter the factory in the future, become a worker, now everyone knows how profitable Yuzhang County Industrial Zone is, even the worst workers can earn 1 tael of silver, you don't want to be a farmer for a lifetime!" ”

"Can we be workers too?"

The industrialization of Yuzhang County has just begun, and now the number of workers is less than 300,000, accounting for less than one-tenth of the population of Yuzhang County, if it is counted from Daqi, it is not even one thousandth, so now the treatment of workers is very high, it can be said that it is already the middle class of Daqi, and it can even be said that it is a white-collar industry (compared with the peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky, they even wear clothes, and the treatment of workers at this stage is much stronger, at least there is a decent clothes, you can eat a full meal, and even occasionally eat some meat and drink some wine, So in this world, you can really be regarded as a white-collar worker! ）

Obviously, this news is very tempting for everyone, and everyone began to feel at ease and began to read and write under the guidance of Teacher Xiao Wang.
