Chapter 297

Yang Yichuan's original plan was to talk about the musket, since Yang Tianci asked in advance, he must answer truthfully. "The Musket Battalion is just a trial run. In my opinion, the musket will definitely play a huge role in the war. Even when every soldier is equipped with a musket, it is the time to take down the grassland."

"Oh, is this musket as good as you said? I remember you showed it last year, and the results were mediocre."

"Back to my father, this musket has been improved and has been greatly improved. Moreover, the musket is still being improved, and the power it can exert in the future will be even greater."

"Well, you can't just say it. So, I have asked He Chu to send back 5000 people from the 1000-person musket camp. It is estimated that they will soon arrive in the capital. By then, let the people from the musket camp and the bows and arrows of the Royal Forest Army Let’s compete in the camp, what do you think?”

"Going back to Father, I think the Musketeer Camp has won."

"Well, if the performance of the musket is really as General He and General Lin said, then it should indeed be mass-produced. This is the production technology."

"Father, don't worry, I will never hide anything. I even brought back the two craftsmen with the most profound research in the Firearms Bureau. According to their research progress, it is estimated that in the summer of next year, they may be able to produce The muskets are firing continuously, and the muskets will be even more powerful by then."

"Well, that's very good. The matter of the musket is settled for the time being. After the people from the Dingsha Army's musket battalion come back, after a contest, and after discussing with the courtiers, we will make a decision."

The current situation is that Yang Yichuan is talking about Xihe City, and Yang Tianci and other ministers are listening.In fact, Yang Tianci knew something about these things and had a rough plan, but the other courtiers were a little confused, as if they were listening to the double reed between Yang Yichuan and Yang Tianci.

"Well, let's continue talking about Xihe City."

"After talking about agriculture, commerce and military affairs, the next step is education. This year, papermaking technology was improved in Xihe City. The paper produced is cheaper and has more functions. In addition, printing technology has also been improved. Printing is also more convenient and saves money.”

"With the support of these two technologies, Mr. Li and I took advantage of the opportunity to build schools and classrooms in Xihe City, build a library that can be accessed by all people, recruit teachers, and promote compulsory education. Accept children of the right age to enter the school and classrooms, conduct Learning. It has been recognized by the people, and most of the parents in the entire Xihe city enroll their children, wanting to learn and receive education."

"Has compulsory education been promoted and implemented in Xihe City?"

"Father, many schools and schools have been established, and the promotion work is now limited to Xihe City. But after Li and I plan to solve other problems in Xihe Prefecture next year, we will also promote voluntary work in other cities. Education is expected to be completed in the next year and the year after, and the promotion of compulsory education in Xihe State will be completed."

"Well, yes, it's steady and steady. However, it costs money to implement compulsory education, build schools, and find teachers. Compulsory education is not paid for by fastidious students, so the teacher's salary is also a lot of money. ?”

"Returning to my father, the families in Xihe City are very supportive of compulsory education. When building the school, they donated money and land, which is generous."

"The local wealthy businessmen in Xihe City have done some good things that benefit the country and the people, and they deserve praise."

"Yes, Father."

"By the way, has the new papermaking technology and printing technology been brought back? If possible, next year, we can try to promote compulsory education in the capital."

"Going back to the father, the technology must have been brought back. However, there are still some problems in Xihe City and Xihe Prefecture. I hope the father can help."

"Well, is there any problem with this compulsory education?"

"Yes, Father, Xihe City and Xihe Prefecture are located in remote places, and the proportion of scholars is very small. Therefore, I still hope that Father will publicize and encourage people with lofty ideals to become teachers for the country, for education, and for the people. , come to Xihe Prefecture to educate children. With the promotion and encouragement of the imperial court, there will definitely be many scholars who are willing."

"This is also a way. I will help publicize the publicity, and it can be regarded as contributing to the compulsory education in Xihe City."

"Thank you, Father."

"Is there anything else related to the people in Xihe City?"

"Returning to my father, there are a few more things. The first thing is to pave concrete roads in Xihe City and widen the roads. Of course, some compensation has been made to the people affected by it. In addition, the The streets are divided into roadways and sidewalks, and street lights and trash cans are installed on the green belts of the roadways and sidewalks, and trees and flowers are planned to be planted next year."

"Besides, there are concrete roads between the various cities. They have already connected the various cities, but the traffic road network has not yet been formed, so there are still some cement roads that need to be built next year. When the roads in the west and the city are completed, we will It is planned to directly build cement roads in Xihezhou and Changzhou.”

"Or temporarily abandon the construction of cement roads, prepare for the construction of railway tracks, and prepare to study railcars."

"Speaking of railcars, let me mention this flying car by the way. Railcars are very special vehicles, and the rails are also very special roads. Once completed, you can take the railcar from Xihezhou to Changzhou in a day, and one trip The rail car can carry more than [-] people. If it is transporting goods, it can also transport a large amount of materials at one time, and the speed is very fast."

"Rail car, why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

"Father, this rail car is a bit difficult, even more difficult than improving the flying car. It's as difficult as the improved flying car, and the rail car needs special rails, and it's very troublesome to set up the rails. .So it will take at least three years for this rail car plan to be implemented, and now it is just a prospect.”

"It will still take three years, so you'd better do the things in front of you first. The cement roads and street lights have been done very well. For the cement roads in Changzhou, you can also send someone to contact the local government. The local government I will try my best to cooperate with you.”

"Yes, Father. The development of Xihe City, that's about it. There are some trivial things, so I won't talk about it."

"Well, that's it. It can be seen that Yichuan has made a lot of contributions to the development of Xihe City in Xihe City. Of course, Master Li is also credited. Master Li, what else do you have? Anything to add?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are still some small things. Your Highness taught the local farmers the techniques of raising pigs, sheep and cattle in Xihe City, as well as the techniques of orchard planting. And breeding has also increased production. Your Highness also encourages business and develops night markets, so that many people in poor households have a livelihood to subsidize their families. His Highness also built the Xihe Theater, where there are story plays and news broadcasts every day. The common people know more about the policies and the major events happening around them, which makes the common people have a better way of leisure and entertainment.”

"His Royal Highness held many activities during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, to have fun with the people."
