"Article 10, in the next five years, every county in Zhao State must have at least one academy and a library pavilion. Basic education is universally available in the Hetao region, and each commune has at least one primary college to teach children literacy and numeracy. Zhao Kuo said.

Education must be universalized in the Hetao area, which is a promise made by Zhao to the people, and it is also a compensation for the people to leave their hometowns and go thousands of miles away to cultivate farmland.

As for other places, Zhao can only be popularized to counties at most.

On the one hand, it is to be different from the Loop, and if it is widespread in all areas, it will be very unfair to the people who have moved to the Loop, and the so-called compensation will not be considered compensation.

After all, what is the compensation that everyone has called?

On the other hand, the current level of productivity does not allow it, and at the same time, the number of teachers is seriously insufficient.

Literate scholars in this era are rare talents after all, Zhao Kuo ordered officials from all over the country to register in the academy, teach them when they have nothing to do, and invited literate squires from all over the country, but it is still not enough.

However, after five years, when the first batch of students graduate, the best of them can be sent to schools around the country for two years, and basic education can be truly popularized.

Of course, the premise is that food production increases again, otherwise it will still be difficult to really popularize. I can't get enough to eat, and it's a luxury to talk about education.

"The Great King is benevolent." Everyone bowed and saluted, and said with joy and sincerity.

Fundamentally, universal education has touched the roots of the aristocracy, so that the aristocracy cannot monopolize knowledge as high as before, and the commoners also have the opportunity to compete with the nobility on the same stage.

Although the chances of such a are very, very small. With the same talent, or even slightly higher, it is impossible for a child raised by ordinary education to compete with a child raised under an aristocratic education.

But twenty or fifty years later, there will always be one or two geniuses who can break through the shackles and compete on the same stage as the nobles.

Rationally, they don't want to see such a scenario. But emotionally speaking, they expect to see such a prosperous era.

This is also the reason why they admire Zhao Kuo from the bottom of their hearts.

Everyone knows that universal education is impossible, and may even be unrewarding, but Zhao Kuo is still doing it.

Zhao Kuo saw everyone's reaction, except for a very few, most of them were calm, and they were not angry or opposed because the commoners might threaten the nobles in the future.

"The aristocracy of this era has not completely decayed after all." Zhao Kuo said with emotion, he saw pride in everyone's eyes, they were willing to give mud legs this opportunity, and they were confident that they would not be surpassed by mud legs.

"In addition to the monthly salary, the teachers of the college will be given a first-class title after teaching for three years, a second-class knighthood after teaching for ten years, and a third-level knighthood after teaching for fifteen years." Zhao Kuo said.

Although many celebrities and celebrities have said that they don't want to be rich, but for most people, the title and title are the most real, and they also have to support their family Hukou after all.

"Article 11: Governing the country according to law. The new law is being prepared and is expected to be completed in the second half of next year. Including agricultural law, commercial law, construction law, children's law, etc., after the completion of the compilation, it will be implemented in Taiyuan County on a trial basis, and if there are no obvious problems within two years, it will be implemented nationwide. Zhao Kuo continued.

Zhao Kuo didn't know whether everyone applauded the new law after it came out, or whether everyone opposed it like the Qin law, so he decided to try it out in Taiyuan first, and then spread it to the whole country after there were no problems.

The crowd did not object, and since the casting of the punishment tripod hundreds of years ago, the era of not punishing the doctor has passed.

Until now, the torture tripod is in the temple of Zhao Guozong......

"Article 12: Water conservancy shall be built and rivers shall be dredged. Reinforcement of river embankments. Zhao Kuo said.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many rivers and lakes in the north, and there were many big lakes in the territory of Zhao State, such as Continental Ze, Ji Ze, Lang Ze, Pi Ze, Hai Ze, Wen Lake, Chun Lake, etc., and many big rivers such as Heshui, Heishui River, Zhangshui, Fenshui, Hutuo Water and so on.

In particular, the Yellow River, for thousands of years, has not only nurtured the Chinese civilization, but also destroyed the Chinese civilization many times, which can be called the first disaster in China.

As for the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi and Wei, which are adjacent to the river, they also sweep the snow in front of their own doors, regardless of the frost on the tiles of their homes.

Because the terrain of Zhao Wei is higher and the terrain of Qi is low, once the river floods, most of the water flows to Qi State, and the disaster of Qi State is much more serious than that of Zhao and Wei.

So the state of Qi built a long embankment twenty-five miles from the river, and from then on, the river reached the Qi embankment in the east and reached Zhao Wei in the west. 'The waters have flooded into the territory of Zhao and Wei.

How could Zhao and Wei be willing, so they also built a long embankment twenty-five miles away from the river, and for a long time afterward, the three kingdoms no longer had to worry about the flooding of the river.

After the river rises, it generally recedes when it reaches the embankment, leaving the river mud very fertile, and many people go to the top to cultivate the fields, and after a long time without flooding, they begin to build houses and gather into villages.

When the flood came, the village was submerged, and the embankment was rebuilt a little further away from the city, just enough to hold back the flood, so that the embankment, which was originally twenty-five miles away from the river, began to move in the direction of the river little by little......

Now the levees are just over a mile away from the river, and only a few miles away......

However, the river flows through the Loess Plateau, carrying a large amount of sediment, although the soil erosion is not serious during the Warring States Period, the river water is far clearer than later, but the sediment content of the Yellow River is also far more than other rivers, for a long time, the riverbed is getting higher and higher, and the room for maneuver on both sides is getting smaller and smaller, and one day when there is a big flood, the flood will break the embankment.

So in the twenty-seventh year of King Zhao Huiwen, the river burst its banks, flooded, and Zhao suffered countless casualties......

If it was before, Zhao State would have strengthened the embankment on its side, and there was no need to care about the life or death of Qi State, but now the west of Jishui is all Zhao State's, and no matter where the river breaks the embankment, it will be Zhao State......

"Gongsun Long is responsible for reinforcing the river embankment, and as for the rivers in other regions, the county guards and county commanders are responsible for it. Zhao Kuo said.

Even if Zhao Guo does not have a water conservancy master, there is no problem in simply strengthening the river embankment and dredging the river. However, in a year or two after the change, Zhao Guo needed to move from chaos to stability, and everyone had many affairs to deal with, so it was difficult to draw manpower.

Therefore, in addition to reinforcing the embankment of the Yellow River, Zhao Kuo does not have time requirements in other areas, as long as it can be completed within five years.

As for the flooding of the Yellow River, although there is a saying that it is better to dredge than to block, Zhao Kuo really has no intention of dredging the river...... This is not the work of people, ordinary people go down and disappear after a wave...... Comparatively speaking, it is easier to build a dam.

And as long as it's wide and tall enough, it's theoretically still able to hold back the flood.

It's really not good, drown the Wei Kingdom?
