Chapter 996: The Establishment of the Five Academies of the Country

After a winter of recuperation, the originally energetic Han Empire ushered in a vigorous spring, so the busy scene everywhere can no longer see some traces left after the smoke of the former beacon fire.

The original Crouching Tiger Agricultural Institute has been inscribed by the emperor himself, renamed the Han Academy of Agricultural Sciences, ranking first among all colleges, and the president is still intoxicated with agricultural production Jujube. Don't underestimate the position of the dean, Zao Yi now enjoys ministerial treatment, and when it comes to knighthood, he is also a dignified second-class national prince!

Zao only enjoyed such a high title, but Lang was not famous, but was canonized for his real merits. After more than ten years of hard work, Zao has only increased the grain output of Dahan by more than two times, which is also the reason why no one starved to death despite years of war within Dahan. Although some people were lost during the war, the population of the Han Dynasty increased by nearly 10 million because of the bumper grain harvests on both sides of the Yellow River for many years.

In the era of extremely backward productivity, agriculture is the foundation and lifeblood of the country, Zhao Xing attaches so much importance to increasing agricultural production, and gives such a high treatment to Zaoyi and the subordinates of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which is to encourage and inspire them to always provide strong technical support and equipment support for the agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery and other industries of the Han Dynasty, so as to ensure that the Han Empire will not suffer from food crises in the process of continuous expansion.

After the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is the Dahan Academy of Engineering, whose predecessor was the Crouching Tiger Equipment Institute, and the president was Ma Jun, who was also ranked as a second-class national prince. Previously, Ma Jun's main energy was spent on researching how to make murderous weapons, and occasionally involved the manufacture of some new equipment related to people's livelihood, but it was still to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. If the war gradually subsides today, with the equipment level of the Han army, it is enough to sweep all countries abroad, so Ma Jun's main task now is to convert a series of advanced military technologies into civilian technologies, in order to contribute new wisdom and strength to the development and construction of the Han Dynasty.

Similar to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Academy of Engineering has many sub-departments under it, each focusing on a certain aspect of research and design work. For example, the Department of Hydraulic Engineering mainly studies rivers, lakes and seas and how to make full use of water resources; the Department of Road Engineering mainly studies how to build mountains and bridges and build strong and durable roads; the Department of Construction Engineering mainly studies how to build strong border defenses and towns suitable for human habitation; and the Department of Mining Engineering mainly studies how to dig deep and exploit various mineral resources.

In third place is Dahan Business School, whose predecessor was the Agricultural and Military Merchants Gold Bank, the Sihai Trade Warehouse and the Jinguo Business Association, and the president was concurrently served by Mi Zhu, Minister of Finance of the Government Council. After so many years of correction and influence, the attitude of the Han people towards those who do business has changed greatly, and they no longer despise and look down on them as before. Emperor Xinghe once made a clear statement on the great role of commerce in the development and construction of the country, he said: "Agriculture is the foundation of a stable country, industry is the key to a strong country, and commerce is the way to a rich country." Only when the country is rich can the people be strong, and the vigorous development of agriculture and industry is inseparable from the lubricant and catalyst of commerce!"

Because the emperor attaches great importance to the development of commerce, and because ordinary people have gained great benefits from the rapid development of commercial activities in recent years, even old scholars such as Cai Yong and Zhang Jian no longer feel that there is anything wrong with the emperor attaching importance to business, and the children of ordinary families are naturally willing to apply for the promising Dahan Business School and become the financial experts that the empire urgently needs in the future.

In fourth place is the Dahan Military Academy, whose predecessor was the Crouching Tiger Lecture Hall and the Crouching Tiger Junior Class, and the president was personally served by the emperor Zhao Xing, who was responsible for cultivating and training military commanders at all levels in the future. Considering that the emperor had a lot of opportunities and needed to do too much, the Military Academy set up several vice presidents to assist Zhao Xing in handling daily affairs. The fortunate ones who became the vice presidents of the Military Academy were Gao Shun, Wang Lu, Xu Hui and Ma Tan, although their names were not as loud as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others, but according to Zhao Xing's idea of army building, it was enough to preside over the daily work of the Military Academy.

Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others are now leading the army to expand westward, and there is no one who has been in ten years or eight years, and they will not be able to come back at all.

The cadets enrolled at the Dahan Military Academy are divided into four levels. The top-level cadets must be generals at or above the military level, who mainly receive personal instruction from Zhao Xing and study military strategic thinking and some extremely important core military secrets; senior cadets are mainly oriented to generals from the regimental level to the division level, and are mainly taught by vice presidents and professional military instructors, and learn theoretical knowledge such as campaign command; intermediate-level cadets are mainly oriented to grass-roots officers at the company and battalion levels, and learn cavalry, infantry, and other theoretical knowledge. Tactical theories such as naval forces and skills such as primary battlefield command and daily army management; junior cadets are open to all ordinary soldiers, and the best soldiers are selected as alternate grass-roots officers for a two-year intensive education and training after cultural assessment, physical fitness assessment, and actual combat test.

The former Youzhou Training Regiment, Crouching Tiger Training Regiment, Gaoping Training Regiment and Yuanqucheng Training Regiment were all transferred to the management of the Dahan Military Academy and became affiliated institutions of the academy, mainly responsible for the regular training of ordinary soldiers.

According to Zhao Xing's assumption, in the future, the president of the Imperial Military Academy will always be concurrently held by the emperor, and if the crown prince as the crown prince does not have outstanding military talent and is not qualified for the position of the president of the military academy, then he is likely to be kicked out of the sequence of heirs to the throne. If the crown prince wants to have the military talent to convince the Han army and the people, he must enter the army to serve at a young age and even lead troops into battle.

Don't blame Zhao Xing for being so harsh on his descendants, if the person who inherits the imperial throne is a cowardly and incompetent person, how can he control the super Han Empire that is about to cross the world? As the guardian of the empire, the Han Emperor must firmly control a powerful army, and can mobilize and command this army to fight for the Han at any time.

At the end of the list is the Great Chinese College, which is equivalent to mixing sociology and philosophy of the future. It stands to reason that Zhao Xing should understand that philosophy is the foundation of various disciplines and should be ranked first, but Zhao Xing chose to list it last, why is this?

Just because Zhao Xing felt that before solving the problem of the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation, it was a bit nonsense to talk about metaphysical and metaphysical philosophical content, and what made Zhao Xing even more jealous was that schools such as classics, metaphysics, and later generations of Cheng Zhu Lixue and other schools did not have much benefit to the development of the country and the happiness of the people's lives, but made a good country into a miasma, and finally died in the country.

This is really not alarmist, living examples are there.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, scripture and learning prevailed, and scholars and doctors sat and talked about the Tao day by day, and as a result, the Han Dynasty died. Cheng Zhu science prevailed in the Song Dynasty, and as a result, the Song Dynasty, which was the richest at the time, was destroyed by the Mongols, who did not know much bullshit.

Zhao Xing tried his best to control the scale of the Faculty of Science, leaving only Cai Yong and Zhang Jian as vice presidents, and throwing the theory of mind to these two people, so that they could take a group of idle pedants to ponder it. This is also Zhao Xing's belief that "blocking is better than sparse", and specially prepared a piece of paradise for those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Rather than allowing all kinds of chaotic trends of thought to emerge and disrupt the state and society, it is better to put forward a theoretical destination that is difficult to overcome, so that everyone can discuss it if they have nothing to do, as long as it does not delay development and construction.

Wang Shouren's theory of mind is more beneficial to the country and the people than Cheng Zhu Lixue, and it is broad and profound enough for philosophers to discuss for many centuries without reaching a conclusion. The reason is very simple, Lao Wang's core idea is to persuade people to "eliminate evil for good" in order to achieve the realm of "conscience".

People are greedy and selfish, and it is not easy to "know good and evil", and if you want to do good and evil, it takes a lifetime of practice!
