"Your Highness, this is a considerable expense."

"I naturally know that, but I cannot tolerate slowness at the moment. I must adopt radical methods to popularize education and cultivate enough talents for Dasong in a short period of time." Zhao Xu said.

Scientific theories are ready-made, but some people have to move the things in the theory from books to reality.

Otherwise, everything is nothing but a mirror and a moon, and it will be in vain in the end.

Therefore, even if you have to take out a large sum of money from the treasury, this matter must be done.

As long as Yanzhou's technology continues to make breakthroughs, he can use Yanzhou's products to obtain wealth from the world.

If you are stingy with this little money, your future struggle with the Western Land will consume countless times more money than your education cost.

"Your Highness's courage is really the same as before." Liu Fu recalled that when King Yan had just recovered from his illness, he set ten taxes on land in Yanzhou in one fell swoop.

This policy has continued to this day, winning over the hearts of the people and making the prestige of the King of Yan irreplaceable.

He believed that the decision of King Yan this time would not be wrong.

Although he felt sorry for silver, he strongly agreed with this matter.

He was born in a poor family and naturally felt the sadness of poor children who wanted to study but couldn't afford to study.

Once this policy is implemented, it will not add any burden to the people of Yanzhou.

At that time, they will definitely be happy to send their children to Gongshu.

Thinking of this, he was a little impatient, so he said, "Your Highness, I will go and prepare for this matter now."

"Wait a minute." Zhao Xu kept Liu Fu, "This is not enough. The most important thing is to let the people see the benefits of letting their children go to school. Therefore, it is necessary for the court to issue some more policies to promote education in Yanzhou."

"First of all, who should issue a graduation letter? Without a graduation letter, you are not allowed to participate in the official examination. Secondly, the recruitment of personnel in Yanzhou workshops must also be based on corresponding requirements."

He divided Gongshu into seven levels, among which the first four levels are equivalent to contemporary primary education, and the last three levels are equivalent to junior high school education.

He is not prepared to implement high school education in Gongshu.

Students who graduate from Gongshu can directly enter the Science and Technology School, Government School, Military School, Medical School, and Teacher School through the exam.

The modern grade design is reasonable, but for him, it is only suitable for modernity, not for the current Da Song.

First of all, Gongshu needs to master very few subjects. Before the fourth level, he only needs to conduct Chinese, mathematics, and a comprehensive subject to popularize enlightenment knowledge such as scientific phenomena, history, and geography.

Chemistry and physics are added only in the fifth to seventh grades.

At this time, the knowledge they have mastered meets the current technological needs

In this way, Yanzhou can quickly cultivate more talents that meet this era.

After all, in ancient times, I could take the imperial examination at the age of fourteen.

Working too many grades will only waste time and resources.

Of course, with the advancement of technology, he will continue to make adjustments to Gongshu to apply the development of technology.

Therefore, Gongshu will issue a graduation letter in the fourth grade and a graduation letter in the seventh grade.

The fourth-grade graduation book is just to eliminate illiteracy and enter the workshop to act as an ordinary craftsman.

The graduation book for the seventh grade allows students to enter the workshop and then train them to be technical backbones.

If they still have the desire to study, they will set up a workshop school to allow students from the Science and Technology School to come and teach.

"In addition, we have also comprehensively improved the status and treatment of craftsmen in the official workshop, and promoted them to all staff through the Propaganda Department." Zhao Xu thought for a while and continued.

When Liu Fu heard this, he secretly admired it.

It has to be said that all the policies introduced by the King of Yan grasped the key.

It is good for the people of Yanzhou to support the King of Yan.

But sometimes, the people are very realistic and are not very interested in things that are not beneficial.

Now, the King of Yan has linked all walks of life with Gongshu's graduation letter.

If they don’t want their children to face the loess and face the sky for the rest of their lives, they can only change their destiny through Gongshu’s education.

"High, it's really high." Liu Fu gave a thumbs up.

Zhao Xu was basically immune to Liu Fu's flattery, and he said, "Okay, now you can go back and prepare."

In the next few days, Zhao Xu inspected other workshops, especially the weaving workshops.

This is the last link of the textile industry chain after spinning.

The loom currently in use in the weaving workshop is the flying-screw loom that was born around 1790.

The principle of the loom is very simple, just like the longitude and latitude lines on a map.

Just arrange the longitude and latitude lines and the cloth is born.

The characteristic of a shuttle loom is to use a shuttle to quickly penetrate between warp threads to improve the efficiency of weaving.

Therefore, its key structure is this shuttle.

The key structure of flying and shrinking is the spring inside, which is naturally not a problem for the current industrial level of Yanzhou.

In addition, the loom is a traditional craft of Dasong craftsmen.

The combination of two strokes makes a smooth production of a shuttle loom.

With steam power, Yanzhou's first steam power weaving workshop was born.

"How much cloth can each loom produce in a day?" Zhao Xu asked the director of the weaver workshop who was accompanying him.

The head of the weaving house is an old mother-in-law.

Since Zhao Xu arrived at the weaving workshop, she has been nervous. Upon hearing this, she stuttered, "You can weave about 200 pieces of cloth in twelve hours."

Zhao Xu nodded. When the flying shuttle loom was just born, it relied on hand to penetrate the flying shuttle. At that time, its efficiency was about twice that of ordinary looms.

Later, after hydraulic power and steam power, its efficiency was greatly improved, and now it has reached about 150 or 600 times that of ordinary looms.

In addition, the weaving workshop adopts a three-shift working method. People rest, but the machine does not rest, the efficiency will be even higher, reaching 200 times.

He roughly calculated that there were 500 looms in the weaving workshop.

The output of this day was 100,000, which can only be described as horror.

The fabrics made by these machines are of good quality. In no time, these mechanically woven fabrics will quickly destroy the traditional small peasant economy in Yanzhou.

And this is also one of his plans.

The small peasant economy firmly fixes the population on the land, which was made up of a feudal system based on agriculture for thousands of years.

Yanzhou lacks labor force. If this is not changed, the people will still live a life of men farming and women weaving, and no one is willing to come to the workshop.

In this way, the development of industry will be restricted.

Although destroying the small peasant economy is equivalent to changing their lifestyle, it is a bit cruel.

But this is the tide of the times. He can be kind, but the Western countries will not be kind to the people of Dasong.
