Only scientific and technological progress in physics, chemistry, and machinery can explode into a comprehensive force, which has a substantial impetus for such an epoch-making invention as the steam engine.

The emperor knew this, but he didn't give much advice, and let the Academy of Sciences tinker with it and figure it out by itself.

Through this process, a group of talents will grow. Only by doing it yourself and experimenting with it can you be impressed, which is more conducive to the next manufacturing.

Accumulation, whether it is technical, talent, or experience, is necessary in many cases and cannot be skipped.

"Hooray." May led the little princess over, her face flushed after exercise, and said with a smile: "In this year's final exam, I won the first place again." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Isn't there a reward for the school, and you want to get some more from me?" ”

May smiled, not embarrassed, and said, "The hot pot is delicious, I still want to eat it after a while." ”

"You know how to eat." The emperor reprimanded lightly, but with a smile on his face, he said, "In a few days, I will send someone over and let the teachers and students of the school taste the hot pot." ”

After a pause, he added: "Follow these two professors to the Academy of Sciences for internships, if you can make some fame, I will be rewarded." ”

May tilted her head and thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay, for the reward of long live, the folk girl must do it." ”

"Intelligence is innate, but diligence is also indispensable." The emperor groaned for a moment, reached out and took off the jade pendant from his waist, handed it to May, and said, "Remember what I expect from you, don't let me down." ”

May took it with both hands, bowed and thanked her, and fiddled with joy, as if she was saying to herself, "It must be valuable."

This guy won't be changed for something delicious, right? The emperor opened his mouth, but finally did not remind.

"May is extremely intelligent." Xu Fuyuan said: "She has been to the Academy of Sciences and helped Zhao Dabao!" ”

The emperor nodded and said, "It's just that you are a little greedy and playful, and you are still young, so you don't need to be too strict." ”

"I'm gluttonous?" May stuck out her tongue and said, "It's just that it's more gluttonous, in fact, everyone is the same, it's just pretending, not as real as me." ”

The emperor pondered carefully, and it was not unreasonable, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and turned away.

Xu Fuyuan and Wang Jizhong hurriedly bowed down to see each other, followed the emperor in May, and laughed with the little princess until the school gate.

"Sister May, do you have time to go to the palace to play!" Zhu Shuyan was very reluctant, and turned around and beckoned her little hand.

"Good drop." May waved her hand and said with a smile: "When Zhao Dabao finishes the good toys I designed, I will send them to the palace." ”

The two little princesses waved their hands and reluctantly boarded the carriage.

The emperor glanced back, and May bowed down in his clothes and bowed in a dignified manner. Smiling, the emperor got into the carriage, wheeled his wheels, and drove towards the palace.

With impressions and thinking from later generations, the emperor did not need to observe everything in detail to make quite accurate analyses and judgments.

In his opinion, the junior high school of Shaoying Academy is still satisfactory. Besides, this is in ancient times, and it can be done like this, which has surpassed Xiyi's school.

Of course, adjustment and improvement are still needed, but we must also move forward in exploration. After all, you can't be too independent of this era.

If you have learned and learned, you must be placed. It is also necessary to place well and make others envious. Only then can more people be inspired to learn, and more children can get rid of the traditional education of the Four Books and Five Classics.

In a few years, three or five years at most, the number of teachers should be sufficient, and it is time to establish a normal school.

The emperor's gaze withdrew from the window, and he made a decision in his heart.

Schools were established, starting in the towns and gradually moving to the countryside. This is the inevitable path for the development of cultural and educational undertakings, and it is also the correct way to popularize education and improve the cultural level of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

This involves the investment of funds, and the most important thing is the training of teachers. Now, although the conditions are not yet ripe, they are not far off.

After graduating from the junior high school, the students of the junior high school of Shaoying Academy are fully qualified to teach in primary school. Teachers, the state treasury pays salaries, and there is not much difference between officials who take money.

………………….

The footsteps of spring are quietly approaching, and the breath is already coming.

Spring ploughing is related to the harvest of the year, and it is the most busy and tired time for the people.

The local officials were also at their most work-intensive period, dealing with major disasters, and the newspapers constantly reminded the emperor that they were always on the side.

Shaanxi, which has experienced a great drought, has two sparse performances before and after, which makes the emperor happy and worried.

There was a heavy snowfall during spring ploughing, and the drought that lasted for more than a year showed signs of easing; But the heavy snow fell at an inopportune time, and most of the seedlings froze to death.

Is this going to ride a roller coaster ride on my mood?

Although the emperor knew that the catastrophe had just begun, he was prepared for a long time to fight the disaster. But there is good news, and there will still be joy and relief.

Well, the seedlings are frozen to death and then replanted, there are crops with a short growth period, and there are water conservancy facilities that were repaired last year. At the end of the year, there will always be some harvest.

Moreover, the emperor asked the local government to stock up on grain and constantly transport supplies. Even if there is no harvest, there is no risk of famine and large-scale displacement.

The emperor has approved the large-scale construction plan in Shaanxi's newspaper a few years ago, and all of them are cash-for-work projects. Paving roads and bridges, water conservancy facilities, building warehouses and houses, and so on, and this year we will also add the laying of railways.

There is no shortage of work, and if there is work, there is food. If the cost is calculated, the money needed to build these projects is not comparable to the value of the food that is distributed.

In other words, in fact, the imperial court and the government are earned. In normal times, if you spend money on hiring workers, it will cost a lot more than it does now.

And in the year of the catastrophe, the people were very grateful and satisfied to be able to eat enough.

If both sides are satisfied, such a disaster relief model can last for a long time and help the imperial court survive the most difficult ten years.

Sure enough, the expected note was quickly brought to the table again. The governor of Shaanxi reported that the seeds were distributed from the official warehouse, and the people had replanted them again.

Regardless of the absence of other unexpected disasters, the emperor was able to breathe a sigh of relief and turn his attention to the two major military operations of recovering the former set and conquering Luzon.

It should be relatively easy to recover the front set, and the Mongol tribes went north in spring and summer, and returned south in autumn and winter. To be precise, the area of the front set is their wintering base.

Therefore, even if there was a battle, the Mongol tribes would not last long. And the tens of thousands of Ming troops, well-equipped, are not something that the Mongols with many tribes can contend with.

The Qiantao area is very suitable for the development of agriculture, which is also a priority of the emperor. The cost of occupying a barren piece of land is too high, at least not a burden to be added during a major disaster.
