Chapter 105: The Emperor's Troubles (10)
The Minister of War was actually a traitor who had long since invaded Hu. Then the few frictions with the countries before must have lost more than they won.
Taking advantage of this reason, Hao Xin began to organize the army, but she didn't know much about it, so she didn't make up the matter at the beginning. Instead, she directly asked a few military students who were not selected by the prince and princess to set up a military academy this year.
The charter was prepared for them. What they wanted to teach depends on them. Their grades were considered relatively poor in the military discipline, otherwise they would not be left behind. Unexpectedly, Hao Xinyun was excited with such an important task and said that he would definitely fulfill Hao Xin's instructions with great care.
The military academy students are all soldiers in the capital. Except for those who need to be on duty, all of them have been trained by Hao Xin. What Hao Xin wants to ask them to master the order most is the order, so the first thing they need to practice is the standing posture. Hao Xin himself does not understand it. However, since the standing posture of the modern school military training is a most basic requirement, then she thinks it is useful, so she will use it.
At first, the court officials thought Hao Xin was just messing around, but after half a year, Hao Xin asked them to watch a military parade. The uniform movements of the soldiers really shocked them. The soldiers stationed in the capital included 50,000 troops and 20,000 troops. During the military parade, except for some who were on duty, the rest were concentrated here.
While Shangguan was commanding, the soldiers stood together, turned around, stepped on the spot, and walked in one step. These movements were obviously tens of thousands of people, but they looked like one person. The movements seemed as neat as measured by a ruler, and they looked particularly magnificent. The neat and smooth movements were very shocking.
The generals were even more excited to see that they were one of them. Gao Jun, the Minister of War, couldn't help but ask Hao Xin, "Master, don't you know what this is useful?"
"This is to increase the cohesion of soldiers, so that soldiers can obey orders and abide by discipline..." Hao Xin told the benefits of standing military posture one by one, and these are what a good soldier should do. Of course, it is mainly the easiest to achieve in standing military posture, but it is also the most basic one.
"Okay, okay, these are enough." Gao Jun felt that these were enough. The army had its own way of training, but no matter how hard they trained, they did not have the energy of these soldiers they saw now. Look at the straight backs and firm eyes, standing upright like pine and cypress trees. This was only the effect of half a year of training.
"I don't know when the emperor plans to promote the entire army?" Gao Jun is the Minister of War. In addition, the fact that the Minister of War was a traitor in the enemy's domestic affairs was more than anyone else.
"It's OK at any time, and this matter can be left to my dear." Hao Xin had this idea, and she also planned to change the generals on the border every three years after this, so that the generals who are free to fight with each other are not worried that the generals will be respectful, and there is no need to suppress the generals.
"In addition, I also plan to add a month-long military training course every year to train students' physical fitness. The physical fitness of civil servants is too weak. Although the examination this year was postponed, it also gave the students thick clothes and charcoal to keep warm. As a result, a large number of people still get sick. How can such a body serve the people? Also, in the future, there will be an age limit for the scientific examination. Those who are over the age of one can't take it anymore. Anyway, even if they pass the exam, they will not be able to become officials for a few years."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, it will cause a great reaction." The officials who had just heard Hao Xin talk about military training quickly spoke. Those older students might be angry to death after such regulations came out.
How many scholars have read that they have changed their identities in order to get fame and fortune? If they are limited to the age of the examination, then those old scholars and scholars who never give up until they are old may commit suicide in despair.
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Hao Xin looked at them speechlessly, why was it anxious? "I plan to establish colleges in various places at the county level and above so that all children can go to school. Those scholars and juren who fail to pass the exam will be their teachers, and their salaries will be paid by the court." Hao Xin plans to popularize science education.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is not so much money." Liang Bin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, quickly spoke up and established colleges in areas above the county level. How much would it cost?
"I'll think about it later." Hao Xin thought for a moment. If he could use the things he could make money, cement, etc., it was probably the most used by the imperial court. Glass is good, soap, etc.
After reading the military parade, Hao Xin took out a charter a few days later and handed the recipe for cement glass soap to the Ministry of Works and asked them to make it out. She can do it in the future whether it is for self-use or to make money. However, she thought of another way in the academy, which was to let the merchants pay.
In this world, the status of merchants is still low, scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom. Merchants are registered as business, and businessmen are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination. No matter how good the study is, it is useless. The way Hao Xin used to attract businessmen is to build a college that meets the requirements of the imperial court to eliminate business registration for a child and allow scientific examinations.
This is attractive enough to merchants, not to mention that the college will record the merchant’s family on the college’s monument. Liang Bin looked at the charter made by Hao Xin and could only say that he admired them, so that they could get countless schools without spending a penny.
As for the Master, Hao Xin also has a plan, that is, as long as a scholar without an official position, giants can apply for a job at the school. In addition, she will also arrange for some teachers from other scholars to teach.
Even in the school, Hao Xin is divided into classes according to the progress. Because the teaching conditions here are naturally not divided into grades one and two like modern times, but are divided into classes according to the progress of students. This progress is the knowledge that students learn. However, Hao Xin is asking people from Hanlin Academy to re-write textbooks.
The required content is that books such as enlightenment should be simple and easy to learn, and the teaching should be easy to understand and easy to learn. In addition to literature, there are also counting, geography, etc., and even pinyin was compiled for her. Of course, this is a later story. At this time, Hao Xin had just posted the matter of recruiting and establishing a college.
