Qian Liang did not give an accurate figure throughout the whole process, because it was really difficult to calculate during this period. He only knew whether it was enough.

The economy is the support. To put it bluntly, the economy is just resources and the utilization of resources!

In the past, the cost during the period of public ownership was only the labor cost, which was just for food and housing. Now after the implementation of private ownership, wages have to be paid. Fortunately, the money is paper money, and you just need to print it hard. Whether you can get it back depends on the future.

development, this is equivalent to overdrafting part of future income, a bit similar to national debt!

And the number of people added every day is the future wealth, so people like Yang Song are not afraid of fiscal deficits. As long as there are materials, resources, and people, as long as we stay steady, don't be impatient, and control the rhythm, development can continue!

To sum up, this is just a way to develop productivity!

…

"Lord, gentlemen, I, Zhu Xi, shoulder the important responsibility of education in the territory! According to the lord's plan! Education is divided into five levels! The enlightenment of ignorant children, the beginner of knowledge, the middle school of three points of knowledge, the high school of entering the classroom, and the university of perfect students!

"

Zhu Xi, who was in charge of education, often spent time in the library and found that there were many inadequacies in the original Lijia theory. Therefore, he had new insights into education and had his own unique insights.

"Today, there are elementary schools in the territorial villages, beginner schools in the towns, middle schools in the cities, and no higher education universities. In addition, at the suggestion of the lord, a technical school, Jie Tong Middle School, was established, which is called a technical secondary school!"

"In elementary school, children are taught alphabet and numerology. In elementary school, they teach popular poetry and arithmetic. In middle school, they teach trigonometric geometry and sage classics. In addition to these two main subjects, the school also teaches fitness, swordsmanship, riding, and crossbows to protect themselves against enemies.

skills."

"And the technical secondary school established according to the lord's wishes teaches business, cooking, machinery, water conservancy, post communication and other professional skills!"

"But both colleges and universities need a sufficient population size and enough time to accumulate enough teaching talents. Only these senior talents from the institute can be qualified to serve as university teachers, but there is no way to establish higher-level institutions of higher learning.

!”

After Zhu Xi finished his somewhat profound conclusion, he stopped talking!

"What Mr. Zhu said is true, but the current situation of the territory is like this, and I am helpless. I can only hope that Mr. Zhu can help me more in the future!" Yang Song respects people with knowledge and morality the most.

Even the establishment of these third-level schools basically absorbed all the talents in the territory. In the end, it was almost impossible to find anyone to serve as a town-level official!

Fortunately, there are not many officials at the town level. In addition to the mayor and deputy mayor, each town only needs to have five lowest-level officials: household office, health office, agricultural office, commercial office, and post office.

The territory needs more officials. They also need to be able to read. In the end, there are some officials at the small town level who are just plain commanders. Fortunately, the population is not large, so they can do their own thing.

But it's a bit harder.

Courses such as cooking and business skills taught in technical secondary schools were all taught by chefs and wealthy businessmen. When these people were recruited as teachers, many people did not understand.

It's an insult to the teacher.

But Yang Song knows that this is prejudice. Although sometimes these so-called lower-class people have many inappropriate things in their lives, there is a reason for that. Just like not all teachers have teacher ethics, everyone is not exactly the same.

Yes, no one is born to be a bad person!

So despite Yang Song's forced order, it was passed! Then the people in the territory began to wonder again. Isn't it said that studying has a high status? How come you can still learn these things through studying?

At this time, Yang Li from the Publicity Bureau took action. Under Yang Song's order, he used concise and popular language to publicize the role and benefits of this technical school! This solved the problem!

Moreover, this publicity unexpectedly convinced many officials and teachers who did not understand it before. After all, "education without distinction" also applies to teachers, and those who are successful come first! In the publicity, the article "Teachers Talk" Very effective!

"Then it's Mr. Shen's turn next!"

"Lords, everyone. I am Shen Kuo. Tian is the head of the territory's Science and Technology Bureau and the Management Research Institute. After studying the technology in the library, I found that the factories in the territory today lack effective power. The power of water power alone is no longer enough. Already."

Shen Kuo was a rare great inventor in ancient China. After understanding the word "technology" in the library, he realized that these inventions were not "wonderful techniques" but real power!

Especially after gaining an in-depth understanding of various disciplines, he even understood the importance of basic science.

In the past, it was enough to know how to use this technology. Now it is necessary to pursue its theoretical logic and thoroughly understand the principles of the operation of the universe. Of course, the last point is just the ultimate goal.

For example, the most commonly used mechanics, the three laws of force, and universal gravitation are all stored in the library. These theoretical knowledge made him obsessed with it, and he deeply realized that he still had many shortcomings!

"After reading the collection of books, I found that one thing is very suitable to replace water power, and that is the steam engine!" Shen Kuo said.

"I know this, but can Mr. Steam Engine make it?" Although Yang Song doesn't know how to make a steam engine, he knows the changes caused by steam engines and the importance of this thing to a civilization!

"It's not possible at the moment. There are only theories in the library, lack of experiments, and lack of data. But I am confident that I can produce it within a few years!" Shen Kuo is still very confident about machinery!

"Then I'll trouble Mr. Shen!"

In fact, Shen Kuo is present in many aspects of science and technology in the territory.

Shen Kuo was involved in guiding farmers to carry out deep plowing and rotation, building embankments and bridges for water conservancy, flood control, road planning for transportation, and even manufacturing in factories. Shen Kuo was also the leading engineer in some projects such as bridge construction!

It can be said that without Shen Kuo, the development of the territory would not be as fast as it is now. The saying that technology is the primary productive force is absolutely correct!

Things with a bit of technical content such as movable type printing, sextants, and glass were all completed under his guidance. As for popular technologies such as compasses and papermaking, he is not needed. There are still many areas for such craftsmen. !

Now that the stalls are open, the required talents are lacking. To be precise, the territory has always been in a situation of lack of population and lack of talents.

In the beginning there were few officers and few soldiers, but now there are few people and few talents.
Chapter completed!
