Chapter 106: The Emperor's Troubles (11)
What students are most unacceptable is that they are actually limited to 35 years old, and more than 35 people can no longer take any imperial examinations. This is a huge blow to some people who think they have knowledge but lack the opportunity to pass the exam.
Although the court said that it would arrange for the Master's job for them, and it also had a salary, it seemed that it was not low, but could the Master's job be compared with those who were officials? However, whether it was agreed or protested below, it was useless. Such news was good news for the people.
Because it was a school run by the court, the tuition fees were very low. In order to reduce the cost of learning, Hao Xin not only made people use movable type printing, but also made papermaking simple and cheap. In addition, it is also OK to urge the people from the Ministry of Industry to study it to see if they can make a printer. Even simple ink printing is OK, which is more convenient than printing.
As an emperor who has real power and wise rule for many years, many of Hao Xin's policies can be implemented as long as there are no loopholes. Moreover, the recipes for glass and soap that Hao Xin had made before have been produced have been completed. The first batch of royal merchants who were directly sold to neighboring countries and surrounding areas. Soon they should have a large amount of money in the treasury.
In addition to these, it is OK to ask the people from the Ministry of Agriculture and Structure of China to study new grain seeds, such as allowing hybrid rice to appear in advance. There are many capable people below. As the emperor, Hao Xin only needs to release the task and give an idea, so naturally some people will help her achieve her goal.
Hao Xin was carrying out reforms here, but the princes and princesses who were sent to various poverty-stricken areas were embarrassed. They felt that they had the ability to govern the country, but they could not even manage a county well.
Fortunately, Hao Xin asked them to select ten students involved in different scholars, who could help in all aspects, otherwise it would be useless to rely on themselves and the people below. And it has only been a little effective over the past year. At the same time, they also knew what their father was doing, and felt that they were far behind them compared to their father.
Three years passed quickly, and Hao Xin had not left yet. The main reason was that the original owner thought she was doing a good job, and at least she had to wait for her sons and daughters to come back to judge and leave. She had not yet elected the prince.
There was no choice but Hao Xin had to stay, but she had only been here for three years, but it also caused earth-shaking changes in Hu Country. With cement, the roads in the capital have been basically irrigated with cement, and many cities have now used cement to make transportation faster.
Glass and soap brought Hu Guo a lot of profits, filling the treasury. With a public college, you can go to school for one semester by paying 100 entries. Hao Xin divided the year into three semesters, one semester and three months, and three months were farm leave and annual leave. At the beginning, the court officials disagreed and thought that students should keep studying. However, Hao Xin saw this combination of work and rest, and also asked students to help go to the fields to work. He could not be powerless and did not divide grains or grains, even students born in high schools.
For this reason, Hao Xin also included all the famous schools and systematically divided them into subjects. In the end, the court officials compromised. As for the so-called great scholars in those academies, no matter how big they were, they would be a civilian, and they would still dare to disobey the emperor's orders. Fortunately, Hao Xin changed some more famous schools into universities, that is, higher education institutions, and those talents did not start to make trouble.
Another improvement is that the Ministry of Works has made springs for carriages and crossbows, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Structures has also made hybrid rice No. 1. Although it only increases the yield of 2 stones per mu, it is enough to excite them. In addition, the principle of fertilization has been widely publicized, which has increased the yield of 1 stone.
It can be said that the changes brought by Hao Xin are huge. Now, it is time for the assessment, Hao Xin summoned 11 princes and princesses and Su Lang back. Why are there 11? Because the third princess Su You failed a year ago.
When they came back, it can be said that everyone's temperament changed a lot. For example, the once gentle and elegant Lao Ba had a little more solemn body. The place where Lao Ba had drawn was close to the beach, and pirates often came ashore. It can be said that he had competed with the pirates for three years. Hao Xin's result was that although the pirates had not been completely resolved, the coastal county town was almost the same as the whole nation was soldier, and it was impossible to get ashore on the island.
The eldest son Su Yuan was originally very gentle, but now he is more tolerant. The place where the eldest son was drawn was a mountainous area similar to Shu. Not only was the terrain there severe terrain, but there were also multiple ethnic groups. Conflicts often broke out due to different concepts. Under his mediation, the various ethnic groups in that place are now well integrated.
The third son Su's army had changed a lot of temper, but he became a little steady. The other problems he had drawn were not the same as being particularly poor. The area there was close to the desert, drought and water shortage were common, and there was wind and sand and many plants could not be planted. The Su army was impatient at first, but later he was patient and managed with the guidance of his staff. He planted poplars around him and made a lot of drought-resistant medicinal materials, which also improved life there.
The fourth brother Su Yang originally had the strongest bookish atmosphere, but he chose a place close to the border, where foreign tribes often came to plunder, burn and kill. At first, Su Yang planned to conquer people with virtue, but it was useless and almost suffered. He sacrificed some guards. In the end, Su Yang also picked up his weapons and directly organized the people to resist, but it seemed that he had a bit of a strong aura.
The place where the eldest princess Su Qian chose was a severe flood. It was close to the tropical area. Not to mention the hot weather, it was rainy in summer and there were many poisonous insects. The area was either forest or swamp. It was often soaked in water and could not be planted at all. However, she made some aquatic medicinal materials and water chestnut lotus roots and planted some fish that could survive in the swamp. The doctors around her also taught many students in the local area, solving the problem of too many snakes, insects, rats and ants, which increased the population there a lot in three years.
Lao Qi Suji used his economic ability to develop the place under his jurisdiction into a wealthy county town and an economic transit station for many nearby counties. The status of women under the jurisdiction of the second princess was effectively improved, and the industry of textile, silkworm and mulberry cultivation was developed. The embroidery industry of the seventh princess Suzai was very developed, and various female red handicrafts, as well as wood carving and weaving crafts have developed very well.
