Chapter 681 The foundation of the country (first update, please subscribe)
Education of millions of newborns every year!
Charlotte's reminder made Emperor Zhu stunned, and only then did he realize the problem that he had been neglecting all along.

educate!

Can't just live!

"In 1865, there were only 23 newborns in Nanhua. At that time, the sex ratio of the population was very different, with more males than females. Even in 1869, there were only 37 newborns in Nanhua. At present, The schools in Daming can meet the current needs, but..."

Li Weimin, Minister of Culture of Ming Dynasty, thought for a while and said.

"According to the current level of school construction, it will be very difficult for us to provide 200 million places in the first grade of elementary school four years later. This difficulty does not refer to school buildings. The problem of classrooms is not a big problem. It is nothing more than building and expanding schools. We With so many construction companies and cheap new immigrants, building a house is only a matter of months."

What industry is the most developed in Ming Dynasty?

Of course it is the real estate industry, which is somewhat similar to another world, but the difference is that Daming did not regard the real estate industry as a pillar industry, but it is a pillar industry. In terms of housing provided by new immigrants, although there is a small amount of commercial real estate, it is not worth mentioning. After all, it has become a tradition as early as the company period, and many companies in Ming Dynasty still follow this tradition. Funding to build a house, the employee pays a deposit as a down payment, and the rent is paid every month. After the lease expires for [-] years, the property can be directly transferred to the individual's name.

The reason why the economic crisis has little influence on Daming is because Daming has built millions of houses every year in the past few years. Don’t underestimate these tens of millions of houses. It needs millions of tons of steel and millions Tons of cement and a large amount of masonry, this is because a considerable part of the farm's brick houses do not need steel bars.

And the steady stream of new immigrants provides sufficient and cheap labor. Right now, the construction industry in Daming is really developed!As a pillar industry, it not only consumes a lot of raw materials such as steel and cement, but also absorbs a lot of employment.

So building a school building is definitely no problem. As for the land, the government can just allocate it directly.Anyway, Daming has a lot of land.

What is the problem?
"The biggest problem is the teacher!"

After saying this question, Emperor Zhu frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then Li Weimin continued.

"Two million degrees, that is, 200 classes. According to 4 teachers in each class, 2.5 teachers are needed. This was four years ago. What about six years later? Need to raise from 10 million degrees, that is, 400 teachers. Thousands of teachers, if we want to solve this problem, we must make preparations in advance. By establishing more teachers and recruiting more students, as long as the teachers are ready, let alone 20 million or 400 million. , Even if it is 600 million, there is no problem at all!"

After a pause, Li Weimin deliberately added.

"Of course, education funding must be guaranteed. After all, without financial support from the central government, it is impossible for comprehensive compulsory education to cover everyone, especially in Shanxi, Zhili and other places. It is also necessary to receive compulsory education, to speak the national language, to be citizens of the country, without compulsory compulsory education, how can they become loyal subjects of the empire?"

In fact, the Ming Dynasty never neglected the education of Hispanic children, and even issued corresponding laws to provide funding for those schools that conform to the imperial education program.

After ten years of hard work, there are almost no primary and secondary schools teaching Spanish in the former Chilean area.In the former Argentine region, the number of primary and secondary schools teaching Spanish is also decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Without him, only the teaching materials formulated according to the education syllabus can enjoy the tax exemption policy for teaching materials. Spanish teaching materials for primary and secondary schools, of course...do not meet the requirements of education Outline it.

Daming never engages in discrimination, this is just a legal principle, of course, those who fail to pass the teacher qualification examination during the transition period will definitely not be able to continue to work as teachers, and naturally there will be no wage subsidies.

"There is no problem with the funding. The income of the state-owned farms has been better than the previous year. The government's financial resources are still very sufficient. The Ministry of Education first draws up a plan, but remember not to overwhelm the growth. The Ming Dynasty needs teachers, but it absolutely does not need fake teachers. .Especially primary education is an education that everyone must receive. A good teacher can benefit people for life. This is why I regard teachers as "holy duties". "Teacher Yu, remember!"

Taking teachers as the "holy duty" is not only the historical factor of China's respect for teachers, but also a more critical factor. The Ming Dynasty was founded in a foreign land. If it wants to create a new China in the New World, it must develop education. Therefore, teachers It is a "special profession" with a sacred mission. Based on this concept, teachers need to have noble personalities and excellent professional ethics. Of course, their status and income are not inferior to, or even higher than, civil servants. In daimyo It is definitely the "sweet pastry" in various professions.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I know that this matter is related to the future career of the Ming Dynasty, and I will never dare to slack off in the slightest."

After a slight nod, Emperor Zhu asked about a lot of educational matters, such as vocational education, adult night schools and other educational matters. After all, the Ming Dynasty established the country with industry and commerce, and vocational education was very important, while most of the new immigrants were illiterate. This requires literacy and adult education. These things are all related to the future of Ming Dynasty without exception, so it is natural to understand them.

The two chatted in the study for more than an hour. After Li Weimin exited the study, Emperor Zhu picked up his small notebook and wrote on it something related to education, teacher training, and degrees.

The emperor also had his own little notebook. In addition to recording some important things that needed to be followed up, the little notebook would also record the names of some people. After writing the educational content that needs to be followed up in the small book, Emperor Zhu naturally looked through the previously recorded content. The circled with a red pen, of course, has been processed, and the uncircled ones are still pending. Not handled well.

"Carve up Japan?"

Looking at the content recorded on one of the pages, Emperor Zhu frowned slightly, and the smile on his face looked a little... weird.

In fact, even now, when he saw the contents written in the small notebook, he still felt quite funny.

This is the information sent back by the "submarine" hidden in the British government. The British side judged that Ming Dynasty and Russia will jointly carve up Japan, so they are determined to prevent Ming Dynasty's "expansion".

"Do all you can to stop it?"

Looking at the several plans of Britain, all of them are inseparable from occupation, division, and support, which are typical imperialist operations, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but said to himself.

"Don't look at the Japanese people who are not big, but they are also very troubled. This is really a hemp rope that is picked at the fine point, and bad luck is only for the poor. This unreasonable disaster in Japan really came... at the right time!"
