Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 4 Education first

Nearly half a year has passed since the disciplinary war that took place in the first half of the second year of Qiyuan. During this half year, the neighboring vassal federation in the north and the Anyuan Kingdom on the western plateau were all very honest.

Jiehe City, which had recovered to a peaceful period, also opened its doors again, but not many foreign merchants came.

Xia Guo’s attitude towards foreigners has always been very obvious, and these businessmen don’t want to suffer unreasonable disasters. But no matter when there are people who dare to take risks.

Although the Federation of Princes suffered heavy losses, the lords regained new hope because of Xia’s withdrawal, but the lords along the boundary river did not have so much joy. They were important victims of this war.

In case Xia’s army suddenly launched an offensive one day, the lords closest to Xia would naturally not be in a good mood.

After so many years of war, the people in power in this world naturally knew that if they wanted to defeat Xia, they had to figure out what was going on with the weapons of Xia’s army.

But no matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t figure it out, otherwise they wouldn’t have been equipped with primitive cold weapons for so many years.

In fact, after so many wars, Xia Guo’s artillery hadn’t been obtained, but the flintlock muskets as individual weapons were still available to them.

However, it is useless to get a flintlock musket alone. It is an iron pipe plus a wooden butt, and a flintlock frame that can be regarded as an exquisite component. If there is no gunpowder, the flintlock musket has no effect at all.

If you want to get gunpowder, you must know the formula of gunpowder. In this regard, Xia Guo must be strictly confidential and prevent leakage.

Although I am not sure whether people in this world can study it, it is even possible that someone has accidentally gotten the gunpowder out.

But even so, the improvement of the gunpowder formula and the research and development of new types of gunpowder, these Xia Guo did not relax for a day.

The climb of the science and technology tree requires more fundamental aspects and overall national strength. Materials science, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and the promotion of scientific knowledge and education are all indispensable.

And this is precisely what the civilization of this world lacks, because the castle civilization system and class-divided society make it impossible to focus on education, let alone the exploration of science.

Even if the civilization of this world has advanced to the point of a country because of the Xia country, its essence has not changed much.

Therefore, even if people in this world accidentally make gunpowder, they will stagnate for their own reasons, and they may not even reach the hands of the lords.

However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of the in case. If there is a force that suddenly pays attention to people’s livelihood, develops technology, and promotes education, then Xia Guo would not want to see it.

For this reason, Yang Song specially summoned Chen Ping to the Imperial Study Room and ordered: “Chen Ping, strictly investigate the other forces’ information on the development of science and education. war!”

“Yes, Your Majesty, the minister obeyed.” Of course, Chen Ping also knows the seriousness of this aspect. He used to only collect information, and the sabotage activities involved important external personnel.

At this time, with Yang Song’s approval, or order, Chen Ping could let go of the intelligence activities of the foreign forces.

Yang Song has this concern because a lot of Xia Guo’s intelligence and information has already been known to the outside world, so information about education will be more or less obtained by the outside world.

If the education of this world is valued, although Xia Guo will not lose his advantage, and he will not worry about Xia Guo being surpassed, but it will always increase the difficulty for Xia Guo to conquer this continent.

Unlike now, Xia Guo has taken the initiative to various external forces and has various advantages. If you want to attack, you can attack, and you can withdraw if you want to evacuate.

Yang Song has been proclaiming the emperor for more than a year. Apart from launching a disciplinary war that lasted for more than a month, he was busy with Xia Guo’s internal affairs.

The most important thing is about the construction of the railway. As long as the planned several main railways are completed, the Xia country will be improved whether it is economic or military, as well as the overall national strength.

Regarding the development of land outside the customs, the government will develop and utilize it, build cities, towns, and villages, and relocate people.

None of these things can be done in a short while. This is a long-term process. Even if Xia Guo has an invincible army, which is far beyond the level of science and technology in this world, it can only be done step by step in these aspects.

On the other hand, this is a manifestation of insufficient productivity. Only by continuing to develop science and technology and developing productivity can the entire country of Xia and the entire civilization become more advanced and prosperous.

And these, the foundation of the foundation is the development of education.

Regarding education, in addition to the low-level compulsory schools of the enlightenment schools in the villages, Xia Guo also has junior education schools in the towns and middle schools in the counties.

In addition, higher education systems such as colleges and universities in various counties and newly established colleges and universities in various states are also under continuous development and construction.

In Yang Song’s plan, each state must have university-level education Across the country, Yang Song also plans to build several national-level university schools to improve the overall state of Xia. Education level.

Recently, Yang Song also plans to increase the length of compulsory education from three years of elementary education to six years of elementary education. He has asked Zhu Xi to make relevant plans, which will be implemented immediately after the meeting.

As long as the quality of the people of Xia State and the overall culture continue to improve, we will not be afraid of any threats from foreign nations, because Xia Guo will always take one step, a few steps, and even countless steps ahead!

Sometimes Yang Song laughed at himself. Now that Xia Guo is so strong, he has been worried, thinking that it is not strong enough, for fear that a higher level of civilization will suddenly appear and the entire Xia country will suffer disaster. I regretted the initial stagnation.

Yang Song has the memory of another world, knowing that the current state of Xia is actually nothing. In the face of higher civilizations, the state of Xia will be bullied like the current indigenous forces.

However, from a realistic and sensible point of view, he was told that this world did not have the higher-level civilization he had imagined, so there was no need to worry about it.

Yang Song still knows the principle of “If you don’t advance, you will retreat.” Even if there is no external threat, he must and can only continue to develop. Otherwise, there will be problems within civilization.

These are all due to human nature. When facing a common threat, they can still unite and fight the enemy together, just as the forces of this world spontaneously form alliances and partners in the face of Xia’s threat.

If there were no threats from the outside world, then the contradictions within oneself would be multiplied, and it would not be surprising that a civil war would happen.

Yang Song didn’t want to see this anyway!
