I want to be emperor

Chapter 200 Technology is King
Luo Zhixue continued: "Excellent advanced scholars can be further promoted to ranks. After they have completed their studies, they will be given priority to work in various ministries and government offices."

"Students in this school will be arranged salary, board and lodging and other treatment according to their grades, and the specifications will be compared with each department!"

"The county government has the responsibility to recommend students to enter the school, and it will be included in the education evaluation. Those who recommend more admissions will be given priority for promotion based on education."

Hearing Luo Zhixue's series of words, Guo Quanshu and the others were stunned.

Is this recruiting students?
Why do you think it is higher than the standard for recruiting officials!

It is not surprising that students get money for studying, and the students with better grades among scholars can receive money and food from the government to subsidize their living.

But grades are given for reading?

More importantly, is it still a title for a group of brats?And it's still a seventh-rank start?
No matter how you listen, how nonsense!

Today's Rural Protection Army is no longer a grassroots team, but a military and political group with 10,000+ civil, military and related personnel.

In this huge group, most of them are low-level soldiers or officers.

Ordinary clerks generally start from the ninth rank and the genuine ninth rank.

Zhengqi rank is in the system of the rural protection army, it is the rank of the head of a town and knows the town, and it is also the title of the chief of each department in the county government.

This rank is already considered a middle-level official in the rural protection army system.

Compared with the rank, the salary is nothing.

To be honest, Guo Quanshu couldn't understand why Luo Zhixue gave him such a high salary.

Could it be that the general wants to bribe those traditional scholars through treatment, especially the famous children and scholars?
Guo Quanshu asked with doubts: "If that's the case, does this student need fame?"

Luo Zhixue took a look at him and knew that Guo Quanshu was thinking wrong, but he didn't explain it in detail, it's normal for Guo Quanshu to think wrong.

Immediately explained a few more sentences: "The students of this polytechnic school specialize in mathematics, geometry, mechanics and other physical subjects. After they have learned something, they will be used by our Baoxiang Army to build machinery, guns, and ammunition."
"Ordnance is the foundation of our country-protecting army's hegemony, and we must attach great importance to it."

As soon as these words came out, Guo Quanshu and the others let go of their doubts. It turned out that it was for the ordnance matter.

But, they still think it's weird. Isn't it just a group of craftsmen who are engaged in ordnance? Just pay the wages, and there is no need to return the grade, right?
And the pay is so high.

Luo Zhixue didn't bother to guess what his subordinates were thinking, but continued: "However, the students who enroll in the school must be truly intelligent."

"Well, besides, it can't be too big, but it can't be too small. You must have the ability to take care of yourself."

At the end, Luo Zhixue added: "I will teach them personally when the time comes!"

Luo Zhixue's operation, to put it bluntly, is to cultivate a group of technical talents.

If you want to acquire scientific and technological talents in this era, it is impossible to recruit them directly. Among the many people in the rural protection army, only one Yuan Gaofeng has read a lot of science books, and even Yuan Gaofeng actually has only a half-knowledge. He doesn't understand things.

If you want scientific and technological talents, you can only cultivate them yourself.

And it must be taught by Luo Zhixue himself, no one else can do it.

However, Luo Zhixue felt that it would be difficult to obtain results even if he gave lectures directly in person, because even Luo Zhixue's own knowledge reserve was only at the level of ordinary people in later generations.

He only knows a rough idea of ​​most things, but if you ask him to explain why in detail, he can't actually tell.

There are too many classifications of modern subjects, and those who are not engaged in this profession actually know very limited.

What's more, Luo Zhixue's time is limited. He said that he taught in person, but in fact, it is impossible to stay in the school every day and teach a group of little kids. Most of the time, these students still need to study by themselves.

In this case, the requirements for students are very high.

The reason for giving the treatment of the seventh grade is to attract more people's attention, expand the scope of selection, and then select a group of truly smart people.

What Luo Zhixue wants is a group of young geniuses, not ordinary people.

And giving geniuses a grade [-] treatment is not high, it is completely acceptable.

Afterwards, Luo Zhixue discussed with Guo Quanshu and the others about the affairs of the school, and then let them go out.

This time when he returned to Xiangyang City, Luo Zhixue took advantage of his free time to finalize all the education affairs in the three major fields of military, government, and science at one go, so as to avoid delays after leading the army south.

After all, there are military officers who understand new tactics, a large number of qualified administrative personnel, and technical personnel who can develop new weapons.

Talents in these three fields are currently in short supply in the Rural Protection Army system, and the most lacking in the science and technology system.

Generals and officers can barely make do with current people, but technological talents can't make do with it...

----

On the other side, Guo Quanshu, who came out of the General's Mansion, was also pondering.

Judging from the attitude of the General's Mansion, it is obvious that he attaches great importance to the Institute of Science and Technology. Do I want my nephew to apply for this Institute of Science and Technology?

My eldest nephew is 12 years old this year. He has been smart since he was a child and has excellent savvy. If the times do not change, he will end up taking the county examination in two or three years.

But after Guo Quanshu became a thief, the entire Guo family was also tied to the thief ship of the Township Protection Army.

He, Guo Quanshu, is the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and his eldest brother also officially joined the Township Protection Army in the first half of this year, and now serves as the magistrate of Tang County.

As for the next generation of the Guo family, it is naturally impossible to take part in the imperial examinations of the Ming court.

Today, when the general talked about this school of science and technology, Guo Quanshu could feel that Luo Zhixue attached great importance to this school of science and technology from both inside and outside the words.

It is even more important than the Government Affairs School.

Otherwise, how can we give the students who enter the school the seven-rank treatment.

Well, I will write a letter to my elder brother later, asking my elder nephew to come to Xiangyang to apply for this science and engineering school. If he can really pass the exam, he might be able to surpass his father in a few years...

Guo Quanshu already had this idea, and other people who heard the news also began to think about it one after another, especially those who have school-age children at home, wondering whether to let their children try it.

After all, it is a Genuine Seventh Grade.

And people who don't have school-age children at home are also wondering if there are suitable candidates for the people around them, especially after the magistrates of the counties know the news, they start to ask about the geniuses under their rule.

Because recommending students to enroll in polytechnic schools has become a political task, successfully recommending students under the rule to enroll in the school can be used as a meritorious service.

On the contrary, if you fail to recommend students under your rule to enroll, although there is no punishment on the surface, I am afraid the general will be unhappy...

The general is unhappy, do you still expect to be promoted?

For a while, a wave of searching for talents gradually rose in the area controlled by the Rural Protection Army, and the government was still the leader.

However, Luo Zhixue didn't participate in these follow-up affairs anymore. It would take time to collect geniuses anyway. Luo Zhixue estimated that it would be good to gather dozens of students within two or three months.

During this period of time, Luo Zhixue could continue to improve the textbooks he had written himself.

Since the time of Funiu Mountain, Luo Zhixue has actually written down all kinds of knowledge that he can still remember.

This is because I am afraid that I will not remember it after a long time.

And many knowledge points are specially thought about, and you may remember it for a while, but sometimes it pops up in your mind.

Therefore, Luo Zhixue usually records everything he thinks of in time.

And the recorded knowledge is also varied and messy.

There are mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, and even theories such as computers that may not be used for hundreds of years.

Regardless of whether it is useful or not, Luo Zhixue will write it down first.

Up to now, the accumulated drafts of various records have been packed into several large boxes.

It’s just that this knowledge is not systematic, and there are many missing contents.

After all, Luo Zhixue is not an encyclopedia, and it is impossible to firmly memorize the knowledge of all subjects. What he can remember are more common sense things.

But even so, Luo Zhixue's throwing out these things he recorded is enough to promote the rapid development of science and technology in this world.

Luo Zhixue recorded these specifically for the purpose of developing science and technology, and then serving hegemony.

In the past, the Rural Protection Army was too small and did not have the strength to support the Rural Protection Army in cultivating talents and conducting scientific research.

Therefore, Luo Zhixue was just making small noises, directly instructing the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to improve ordnance.

But now, the Township Protection Army is on the right track, and has the background to support Luo Zhixue in cultivating scientific talents and developing advanced technology.

So in the last month, Luo Zhixue has also started to sort out his manuscripts one after another. On the one hand, he categorizes them into textbooks for each subject, from simple to advanced. Get up something.

When Luo Zhixue finished the basic textbooks, it would be the start of the Polytechnic School.

It's just that this made Luo Zhixue even busier!

There are usually a lot of things to do, and the military affairs meeting and government affairs meeting every morning are unreasonable.

Then every day, there are many complicated documents to be reviewed, various types of special work meetings to be held, and various officials to be interviewed.

The unconventional activities such as inspections are not counted.

In addition to these daily affairs, Luo Zhixue also had to sort out the manuscripts of science and technology, and there was no rest all day long.

Sometimes even at night, Luo Zhixue would turn on the lights and fight at night.

After being busy in Xiangyang for half a month, Luo Zhixue finally received a good news from Lieutenant Colonel Huang Guangmao, commander of the Ninth Mixed Brigade.

Huang Guangmao said in the victory report that he has led the army to conquer Yunyang City, and will continue to march into other counties in Yunyang Prefecture, such as Baihe County, Shangjin County, Fang County, Zhuxi County, etc., in order to completely control Yunyang Prefecture .

After hearing the news, Luo Zhixue convened a meeting with generals including the general staff to discuss the situation on the western front. Luo Zhixue finally decided to set up the headquarters of the West Route Army to temporarily govern the Ninth Mixed Brigade and the Tenth Mixed Brigade. The No.14 mixed brigade reorganized from local surrendered troops in Junzhou.

Huang Guangmao served as the commander of the West Route Army and was promoted to colonel. Major Weng Hongyuan, director of the Strategy Department of the Staff Department, was transferred to the chief of staff of the West Route Army and promoted to lieutenant colonel.

The duty of the West Route Army is to guard the strategic security of the West Front, ensuring that after the main force of the Rural Protection Army goes south, the West Front will be safe.

At the same time, Luo Zhixue also allowed Huang Guangmao to appropriately launch some offensives according to the situation, when the opportunity is favorable, and under the premise of ensuring the safety of the western line of defense, and try to seize the Xunyang, Jinzhou and other Hanzhong prefectures in Shaanxi; State capital area.

But no matter whether it continues to expand westward or not, everything should be based on the safety of the western front, and there must be no wave of war.
