A great man once said that science and technology were the primary productive forces.
Yang Jing agreed.
The reason why the ancient people were so backward in terms of technology was because the people did not pay attention to learning, and the imperial court did not pay attention to promoting the prosperity of the cultural field!
What's the use of studying the Four Books, Five Classics, and Eight Legged Essays every day? Can a bunch of bookworms who only know how to make sense of things fight with the enemy on the battlefield?
Yang Jing did not deny that the emphasis on literature in ancient times had indeed left many famous cultural treasures for later generations.
However, the current era had already reached the era where cold weapons were converted into hot weapons.
In the current chaotic Ming Dynasty, learning science and technology was more important than blindly learning eight-part essay.
The enemies he was facing now were Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, and Dorgon. It was easy to crush these people.
However, Yang Jing's goal was not as simple as crushing these people. He had a more ambitious goal in his heart.
That was to let his new regime become an empire that would terrify the surrounding countries in the future!
He had to build a new school!
Every time Yang Jing thought about the industrial revolution in Europe and the fact that the Manchu emperor was still self-satisfied with his closed-door policy, he would tremble with anger.
As the saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten!
Education must start from the child!
He couldn't wait any longer. He had to build a new school!
F * ck your 'Westernization Movement.' As long as my science and technology develop fast enough, those European countries can only carry out the 'Han Movement' in the future.
He could only empty his mind to learn from the Han and use his skills to subdue the Han.
Of course, Yang Jing would not give them such a chance.
Yang Jing, who had made up his mind, established five new schools in the city. In the new schools, he set up new subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In addition, he added physical education classes to strengthen the physical fitness of every student.
At the same time, he also requested that every child of the right age in the city go to school and exempt them from tuition fees for five years.
Yang Jing called it five-year compulsory education!
In addition, he also established the Yang Family Military Academy.
He carefully selected a group of children in the city and assigned them to study at the Yang Family Military School.
He ordered some of his hundred peasant soldiers to be the instructors of the military academy. They were responsible for leading the children in training, mainly to train their shooting skills.
He even chose a few of his subordinates to be the academy's directors.
As for himself, he would be the dean of the Yang Family Military Academy and be in charge of some important decisions.
Yang Jing was very confident that in the near future, his new school would definitely produce mathematics and physics geniuses who were delayed by eight-legged essays.
And his military academy would discover a military commander who was born with the ability to command!
After school started, the school-age students in the city discovered that a huge handwritten letter from Yang Jing hung in every classroom of the new school-Study for the Rise of the Han!!
Just these few words immediately aroused the patriots that had been suppressed in the hearts of the students for a long time.
Their country, the territory of the Han people, had been devoured by the wild boar skin for a long time!
Western Liaoning was occupied by wild boar skins.
For more than ten years, Wild Boar Skin had led his troops into the pass several times to harass the Ming Dynasty.
Wherever he passed, he burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes.
Over the years, the number of Ming people that they had brutally slaughtered was in the millions.
Even though the Darming Dynasty had always been unyielding and refused to cede territory, pay reparations, and marry, they would actively send troops to fight each time they were invaded.
However, the heavens did not bless the Ming Dynasty. The continuous natural disasters made the court's finances tight. Coupled with the corruption of corrupt officials, loyal officials and good generals died one after another. The soldiers who had no money in their hands also had no ambition.
Facing Da Ming's current situation, these scholars were anxious in their hearts.
But so what if he was anxious? In the end, he was a useless scholar.
Even if they had to abandon their pen and join the army, they were not willing to join a boorish man like Li Zicheng.
When Yang Jing started the rebellion, these scholars all thought that Yang Jing was a thief who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to nibble at the Ming Dynasty, and they despised him in their hearts.
However, in the past half a month, Yang Jing had done a series of things for the development of Wuyuan County, which made them eliminate the prejudice in their hearts.
To be able to say that he was studying for the rise of the Han people, what kind of burning heart must he have in his heart!
He could even become the world's teacher!
He was really different from the raiders!
Everything he had done.
Whether it was getting the people to work for him to earn food, opening a bank to increase business taxes, establishing various shops to control the prices of goods, or establishing a school that did not charge any fees, he was doing practical things for the people.
Although Wuyuan County was small, they could see that Yang Jing was really putting his heart into building this county and treating every citizen who relied on him with his heart.
Although he did not know how many soldiers the new owner of this county had and how far he could go.
However, they began to have expectations for Yang Jing. This expectation came from their trust in his strength and character.
Perhaps this righteous young man would really be able to stand in an even more honorable position one day!
Not long after the new school, the whole Wuyuan County was swept up by a wave of learning.
Yang Jing's words of 'studying for the rise of the Han people' had also spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Whether it was a three-year-old child or a sixty-year-old man, everyone was familiar with this saying.
Not only the young people in the city, but even some of the older scholars in the city would call Yang Jing teacher when they saw him.
Whether it was his political vision or his literary attainments, Yang Jing was worthy of the word 'teacher'.
After half a month of planning and reform by Yang Jing, Wuyuan County was developing vigorously.
Yang Jing looked at the orderly small county town and listened to the sound of reading in the school and the sound of training in the military school. He suddenly felt a strong sense of security.
Although the county was small, he had built it himself. It was the embryonic form of his ideal empire.
One day, he would spread this peace to every corner of Da Ming and even the world!
Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation rose in Yang Jing's heart.
The preparations were almost done. They could set off!
