System, help me be an empress

Chapter 165 The School Starts at Beijing University
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of August.

The coast of Guangdong has not been peaceful recently. Although there has not been a second battle, the ships from overseas countries have never stopped.

These ships wandered around the nearby waters for a few times each time. Once Dagan issued a warning, the other party would slip away so fast that it was impossible for Dagan to judge what these people were here for.

"In my humble opinion, these overseas ships are really coming from bad people. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to give a warning, so that these overseas countries can see that it is definitely not easy to provoke."

"Your Majesty, I don't agree with the Ministry of War's opinion on the matter. It is a country that is not a belligerent. Besides, the other party has not yet made any substantive actions. Wouldn't it be bad for the friendship between the two countries to attack so rashly? It is better to give priority to negotiation."

"The premise of the negotiation is that the other party is willing to talk to us. These sea-going ships are like shrinking turtles. We don't even know what their purpose is until now."

Xu Youxi sat on the chair and listened to the different opinions of the officials, so she did not speak for a long time.

Meng Zhiqian saw that the others were arguing, so he stood up slowly: "Your Majesty, I suspect that these ships seem to be elusive all day long, but they are actually trying to figure out the work of the navy and plan to take them down in one fell swoop when our army is weak. It is disadvantageous for me to know the enemy and hide it. For a long time, I am worried that the army in the sea area will be exhausted. I think it is necessary to warn in advance."

Even Meng Zhiqian, Minister of the Ministry of War, said so, and several officials who were still arguing at first stopped talking, quietly waiting for His Majesty to make a decision.

Xu Youxi knew very well that his military opinions were definitely not comparable to these military officers.

It just so happened that Meng Zhiqian's thoughts reached an agreement with He Jiangyi who was far away in Guangdong, and she didn't have anything to tangle with.

"Meng Shangshu, how do you think you should give a warning?" Xu Youxi asked.

"Firstly, all the naval ships along the coast of Dagan set up their sails and patrol the entire sea area for ten consecutive days, so as to demonstrate the strength of the Dagan navy; secondly, once an unknown ship is found approaching the sea area, it will immediately intercept it head-on."

Meng Zhiqian has been thinking about these ideas for a long time. During this period of time, he asked Teng Xuesheng about the maximum effect that the Shenji camp firearms can play on sea ships, and also asked Wen Deyi about when the steamship could be built. The problem.

"Just do it."

Xu Youxi finalized the matter.

"Anyone else have anything to play?"

Hubu Du Zhiyi stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

"Say."

"Your Majesty, I have visited the experimental fields several times and found that the effect of farmland chemical fertilizers is remarkable. However, the Shengong Bureau is currently facing many difficulties. If it wants to spread chemical fertilizers to the world as soon as possible, at least it will have to wait until the beginning of next year. I believe that people's livelihood is a top priority, and the road can be changed." Xiu, cloth can be woven slowly, but grain production must never be underestimated.”

"Ah."

Xu Youxi was a little surprised that Du Zhiyi would suddenly bring up this matter.

"After the practice in the first half of the year, chemical fertilizers have become mature. I believe that the chemical fertilizer factory should be built quickly and put into production immediately, and strive to spread the chemical fertilizers all over the factory within a month or two."

Xu Youxi paused and explained: "Chemical fertilizer factories can be built, but the more fertilizers are used, the better the yield will be. Each mu of land, each type of crop, when to use chemical fertilizers, and how much fertilizer is used each time You should be careful, which is why I am not in a hurry to promote chemical fertilizers."

"But the Shengong Bureau's fields are only a few acres, and the efficiency is too slow. I still think that chemical fertilizers should be popularized as soon as possible. In an area, some farmlands use chemical fertilizers, and some do not use them. They will be compared after the autumn harvest to accumulate for next year's cultivation. experience."

"It's okay, this matter will be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs." Xu Youxi thought for a while, "How about building another feed factory next to the fertilizer factory, and the residues after the harvest of the crops are transported here every year for secondary processing."

"The minister obeys the order."

After Du Zhiyi retired, Rong Yingran from the Ministry of Rites also stood up: "Your Majesty, I will report to you about the progress of Shangjing University and the relevant arrangements of the Ministry of Rites for the school."

"You said."

"Shangjing University will start on the tenth day of September. It is a four-year system. Each year is divided into two semesters. The first year is a public class. The public school teachers are mainly responsible for teaching the relevant basic knowledge of public schools and middle schools; the second year is divided into subjects. Study plans are formulated according to different subjects, and different departments such as Shengong Bureau and Xinyi Pavilion give lectures; the third year is supplemented by theory, and the experimental class is the main part; the fourth year is the internship period.”

"At the same time, the Ministry of Rites will establish a middle school at the beginning of next year, with a tentative five-year system, which will be the continuation of learning after the completion of the three-year public school system." Rong Yingran continued, "The middle school recruits students aged 24 to [-], and the first two years of the middle school The annual system is the same as the public school model, and all expenses, including food and accommodation, are borne by the imperial court; for the next three years, it is a self-financed model, and students can also apply for tuition exemption with excellent grades."

"Considering that middle schools need the theoretical knowledge of public schools as the basis, the imperial court will set up auditorium seats at Beijing University for half a year, and encourage all students who plan to enroll in middle schools to attend to prevent them from failing to follow the courses after enrollment."

"As long as students who have completed the three-year public school and the two-year middle school system will receive a certificate issued by the imperial court, they can use this certificate to apply for jobs in various factories. .”

"In the future, students who need to participate in the imperial examination must complete eight years of study; or study for more than three years and pass the five-year graduation assessment of middle school. After graduating from middle school, students can choose to continue their studies in universities or give up their studies according to their grades. Choose work."

As Rong Yingran's explanation became more and more detailed, the expressions of the court officials gradually became serious.In fact, everyone has long known about the plan to go from public school to middle school and finally to university.But I didn't expect the Ministry of Rites to plan so carefully, and even began to link the imperial examination with the school years.

"What about those who passed the university graduation examination?"

I don't know who asked suddenly, and it was this sentence that broke the silence in the court hall.

Rong Yingran was dumbfounded for a moment. Do you still need to ask this kind of question?

The students who can pass the university examination must be among the best of the best. Several core departments of the court are definitely vying for important people. Even if they finally choose to enter the court as an official, they must be superior to others.

"Students who have graduated from middle school are the builders of Dagan; but students who have graduated from university are a group of people who will create the future for Dagan."

Xu Youxi's tone was calm, but this sentence successfully increased the gold content of "Shangjing University".

#
On the tenth day of September, "Shangjing University" was launched.

The school uniforms of Shangjing University are made of the best fabrics, which are roughly divided into two colors. The daily wear is a combination of blue and white, just like the bamboo forest in the college, chic and lively; on days with special ceremonies , the students wear white and red gold-rimmed school uniforms, and they don’t lose their momentum wherever they go.

The first batch of students who entered the university included about 22 princes and grandchildren from the dependent countries, 36 descendants of the clan, and the remaining 70 or so were the brightest students recommended by major academies.

Yu Xiangdong is the youngest son of the lord of Yuliao Kingdom. He just turned eighteen this year, so he is considered a favored prince.

Originally, this kind of work as a proton could not be his turn, but the Daqian Emperor insisted on doing something new, turning the "proton" into a "Daqian begging for students", and once he heard that he had to send someone to Daqian Studying, his father was afraid that his brother would lose face to Yu Liao if he was stupid, so he would not send him out.

Yu Xiangdong has been known for his cleverness since he was a child. Among his brothers and sisters, he speaks the best Mandarin. He has even read "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs".

Therefore, when he first came to Shangjing University, he was full of superiority.

However, he didn't realize how wrong he was until before the formal class.

On his left sat a skinny little girl, desperately writing some ghost symbols that he could not understand at all in a notebook, and from time to time, she had a verbal discussion with the person at the front table.

What is the driving speed of a steam car and the speed of riding a horse? It takes an incense stick of time for a steam car to increase fuel every half hour; a horse rider needs to let the horse rest for a cup of tea every half hour , the two teams race to field a, who is faster?
How long is a stick of incense?

What is the kung fu of a cup of tea? ? ?
Yu Xiangnan was full of confusion, why did the steam car driver compete with the horse rider?
He looked away resentfully, and his eyes began to fall on the young man at the table behind him. This young man seemed to be a little younger than him, and he was drawing various circles and squares on the paper?
"Are you drawing?"

Yu Xiangnan secretly made up his mind to break into the inside of these big cadres first.

The young man at the back table concentrated his mind: "I accepted a reward task the day before yesterday. I designed a part that allows the steam truck to automatically harvest grain. I can reward 1 yuan in cash. I plan to earn some pocket money in my spare time."

1 yuan is just pocket money?
Yu Xiangnan touched the 'huge wealth' of one hundred and twelve yuan notes in his pocket, with a sad face, he turned out to be a poor man!

"I, can I participate in the design?" Yu Xiangnan asked weakly.

"Of course, you can go to the notice wall near the imperial list to pick up the quests. There are still a lot of quests left, such as designing brake parts for steam cars and designing train driving seats. The rewards are very rich."

"What if I didn't know anything before?"

The young man was very serious: "It may be a bit difficult, but you can take the time to learn by yourself. You can do some simple exercises first, for example, first buy a steam car, disassemble it, and then assemble it."

……

No, you might not be able to buy him if you sell him.

Just when Yu Xiangnan was doubting his life, his deskmate on the right also walked in. This one looked like an ordinary person, he didn't bring anything, and was looking around like him.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"Is there anything to do?"

The young man was puzzled.

Yu Xiangnan seemed to have met a bosom friend, and told his tablemate excitedly what happened just now.

The tablemate was completely indifferent: "What's the point of discussing such a simple math problem? Just build a steam car and compare it with a horse. And why does it take a long time to refuel a steam car? It's too unreasonable. "

"..."

"By the way, do you want to buy a steam car? Find me, my family owns a factory that specializes in making steam cars, and the reward of 1 yuan was released by my father."

!!!

For the first time, he felt that his status as the prince of a country would be so insignificant.

Yu Xiangnan lay down silently, out of sight and out of sight, no one can disturb him!

After finally making it to class time, when Yu Xiangnan looked up, he was taken aback. There were at least seventy or eighty people sitting in the back of a small class of twenty or thirty students.

"Don't be surprised, they are all here to observe, and they are not students of Shangjing University."

Audit?

Yu Xiangnan's understanding of Daqian has been refreshed again. It turns out that this is a country that loves learning so much!There are so many children in their teens, all running over to observe the class. This kind of picture is really shocking.

Finally, all the university teachers came in.

"It's a great pleasure to meet you at Shangjing University. I'm your math teacher. Don't worry, our courses are not too difficult. Students who don't have a foundation in public school raise your hand to me. You should learn better than others. People work a little harder."

Huge classroom.

Only, Yu Xiangnan silently raised his hand.

……

In the initial stage of the class at Beijing University, since several masters had already invited public school teachers to lay the foundation in advance, learning was not as difficult as imagined.

Among them, the most difficult ones to learn are basically the princes and grandsons sent by the dependent countries, and many of them can't even speak the official language. At this time, Hanyu Pinyin just played its role in "literacy".

The affiliated kings and grandchildren who have no foundation and sympathy for each other have enjoyed the care from teachers of various subjects in the public school, pulled them to the desk to do small cooking, and extra homework and exercises.

Yu Xiangnan was about to cry, he wanted to go back to Yuliao, it was too difficult to study in Daqian! ! !
……

Xu Youxi has been paying attention to the situation of going to Beijing University. So far, it has been carried out completely according to the original plan.

Students from several dependent countries, as well as a few students who really couldn't keep up with the progress, were basically transferred to a new class after half a month of enrollment, and began to slow down the teaching speed.

Xu Youxi's recent attention has been more focused on the ships in Guangdong.After Daqian's navy implemented the strategy of "pursuing" these inexplicable ships, they finally couldn't bear it anymore, and disappeared for more than ten days before returning, and at the same time brought their lord to the Dagan emperor. a letter.

After going around and around, this letter was transferred to Xu Youxi at the beginning of September.

More than half of the letter is praising Dagan and the emperor Dagan.

To be honest, when Xu Youxi saw such polite and nonsense letters, he usually typed them back and rewritten them.

Finally reached the second half of the letter, the other country's lord once again made a plea to establish business relations with Dagan.

Xu Youxi also replied directly, but her letter was written very simply.

The meaning expressed in the content is, first, if your ship wants to enter the territory of Dagan to do business, it is very simple, accept the search of the Dagan Navy, and you can enter after confirming that there is no problem.

Second, after your ship enters the port, you still have to go through the procedures according to the regulations of the imperial court, and the transactions you carry out must pay customs taxes according to the regulations.

The most important point is that Dagan accepts silver transactions, but does not accept large amounts of silver transactions. You have to be prepared to barter.

　Tomorrow is finally off! ! ! !
　　I want to sleep until I wake up naturally (_)
