Iron Dynasty

"Your Highness, this is the telescope you want."

The supervisor said while holding a stick about 1.2 meters long and 4.5 cm in diameter.

After the Confucian troubles, Xiao Ming ordered the glass workshop to make astronomical spectacles, and to gauge the current technical level of Qingzhou, Xiao Ming finally chose the Kepler-type astronomical telescope that appeared in the middle of the seventeenth century.

Compared with the Galileo telescope using a plano-convex lens as the objective lens and a concave lens as the eyepiece, the Kepler telescope uses two biconvex lenses as the objective lens and the eyepiece respectively, which significantly increases the magnification.

The biconvex lens can also be polished with the craftsmanship level of the glass workshop. After all, this kind of lens is only protruding from two sides, just like a modern magnifying glass.

After receiving the first astronomical telescope in Dayu State, Xiao Ming looked at the sky.

It was already evening, and a crescent moon was hanging in the sky. In the telescope, the crater above the moon was clearly visible. At this time, it was in the crescent moon, and the contrast between light and darkness was remarkable.

Looking at this round of bright moon, Xiao Ming fell into contemplation. This incident against Confucian scholars was victorious under his deliberate manipulation. The new interest class of the country showed a one-sided tendency to confront the old interest class. It is a great encouragement.

But for him, the real old interest groups outside the country have not launched a final attack on him, but have been dormant.

In particular, there is a monster who is consulting his fief. He wants to prepare a sword for this monster, a sword that can be slashed at any time, and this sword is astronomy.

But now that he has an astronomical telescope, it is a headache for him to study this subject.

Like the modern feudal dynasties, astronomy or astronomy was the study of the emperor. During the Ming Dynasty, the folks were forbidden to study this knowledge. The idea of ​​monarch power conferred by the gods made the emperors very jealous of this matter.

In the past two years, Xiao Ming wanted to establish an astronomy academy more than once, but in the end he postponed this plan, because once things were publicized, he was basically rebelling.

What is the purpose of a feudal prince who let his people study astrology? Denying the emperor’s divine authority, or are you going to start anew?

For this reason, he can only choose to study astronomy in secret, and wait until the time is right to use this sword.

"Don't say anything about this, understand?"

Xiao Ming said in a deep voice that the reason why he concealed it was just that he didn't want to be extravagant. After all, the court was a backer for him.

After Xie Ziyun was beaten and driven away by the villagers, Qingzhou was noisy for more than a month, and the Confucian harassment of the mansion gradually subsided. For a time, no one in the whole country dared to talk about Xiao Ming's various government orders.

Moreover, private schools all over the country were closed after that, and the children of the common people who used to study in private schools all poured into public schools to study.

Because the decree published in the newspaper is very clear, the private school cannot participate in the selection of officials of the country, but can only participate in the imperial examination, while the public student can participate in the examination of the country and participate in the imperial examination of the imperial court. Happy but not for?

The most important point is that you don’t need to pay any money at all when you study in a public school.

"His Royal Highness, this is the Qingzhou Master. According to His Highness, the Qingzhou Master is divided into two parts. Among them, children from six to twelve years old are studying in the building on the left People who have reached the age of sixteen are placed to study in the public building on the right, and they have passed the public test to determine whether these people will eventually be able to enter Bowen Academy."

While walking, Zhan Xingchang introduced the situation of the Qingzhou guru to Xiao Ming.

The location of Qingzhou Gongye is only a hundred meters away from Bowen College. There are a total of 72 antique schools in Gongye. These schools are lined up with blue tiles and red bricks.

There are blackboards and podiums in front of each school, which initially possesses the characteristics of modern teachers.

According to the data provided by Zhan Xingchang, the number of people in Qingzhou City has reached 450,000, and the number of children who can enter the public is about 6,000.

There is dense vegetation in the public, and the rockery pond echoes each other. There is also a large stadium on the side of the school. In general, Xiao Ming is very satisfied with the construction of the public.

During the construction of the public servants, he rarely came. This time, taking advantage of the anger in the fiefdom, he felt that the opportunity to open the public servants had arrived. This was the beginning of his popularization of education.

After all, although under his intervention, the military industry in Qingzhou is not very different from that in Europe, but overall he still lags far behind in talent reserves.

"The pressure of recruiting 6,000 public officials this time may be very high, but your government has to withstand it. In addition, the king is not afraid of spending money in teaching and educating people. Remember, the salary for these teachers must be high. , The selection must be strict, so that these teachers can teach with one heart and no distractions. This king does not want his father to be filled with a group of over-riding teachers. If he can't be a teacher, he doesn't need to think about it." Xiao Ming said. Very serious, the one he can't tolerate most is the teacher who misled his children, so he would rather get a high-paying teacher than a qualified teacher.

Zhan Xingchang has a smile on his face. Few feudal lords in Da Yu can attach such importance to teaching. For these feudal lords and even the clansmen, they only hope that the people are illiterate~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They will be able to stabilize their position. They have never changed for so many years, but everything has changed here.

Now only the Qingzhou public has cultivated 6,000 people, and the entire fief can train forty to 50,000 people at one time. This is a terrible number.

"Yes, Your Highness, the upper and lower officials fully support Your Highness in this matter, and are unwavering." Zhan Xingchang said firmly.

Xiao Ming nodded and continued: "Also, in the public, you can't be too rigid. For students who can accept and receive high-level education in advance, you can learn by skipping the level, so that you can cultivate useful people earlier. ."

This time, he did not copy modern times. After all, in this era, men can get married and have children at the age of thirteen, while gentry children at the age of fifteen and six can even enter official positions.

Moreover, he does not need to follow the modern quality education, which is not in line with the current reality. These enrolled students only need to master the 18th century knowledge system.

Because of this, what they learn will not be as complicated as they are in modern times, and the time to receive education will be greatly reduced. After the age of ten, they will be able to contribute to the construction of Qingzhou.
