The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 469 School Reform
Now Ding Yi has [-] logs coming every year, and he is hoarding logs at a rate of [-] and [-] each year.

Originally, [-]% of the workers who cut large logs by themselves on Phi Island turned to other employment directions. All the wood for shipbuilding was provided by North Korea and used in stock.

Ding Yi only needs to chop less wood for making charcoal.

After the ship comes out, it will go back and forth between Lushun and Jeju, and it will be specially used to train the navy, because the navy will be equipped with a large number of Yellow River warships in the future, and the officers and soldiers of the navy must adapt in advance.

Under the leadership of Li Zhi, Ding Yi and others boarded the boat and looked at it. The generals of the navy were very satisfied.

There are many guns and a large space, which can be used for shooting and transporting.

The only downside is that the speed of the boat is a bit slow.

But if you want more space cannons, it is naturally impossible to increase the speed.

Because this shipyard is larger than the shipyard in Lushun, Ding Yi and Li Zhi agreed after research that in the future, Lushun Shipyard will specialize in building ships with less than [-] materials, and Changsheng Shipyard will specialize in building ships with more than [-] materials.

But only two shipyards are not enough. On Jeju Island, in Ding Yi's plan, two shipyards will also be built, and they will be larger.

Now that Ding Yi has money and people, the only thing that can affect his progress is the number of craftsmen.

If he has enough craftsmen, he can build five shipyards a year.

But it is useless to build more now, because there are too few shipbuilders.

In this era, there were fewer shipbuilders than gunsmiths and blacksmiths, and it was difficult to find them.

Ding Yi also has the support of Japan and North Korea, and many shipbuilders from these two places are still not enough.

On the way back from Changsheng Island, Ding Yi kept thinking, is there any way to provide himself with a large number of shipwrights, craftsmen and blacksmiths?

Relying on robbing is far from enough. You can only cultivate yourself as you think.

In recent years, he has focused on military affairs and economics, and rarely cared about schools. On the second day after entering Lushun, he immediately called Mrs. Li and Mrs. Hong Anshu. After Song Zhe left, these two were the main persons in charge of the Education Department. Mrs. Li was in charge For girls, Hong Anshu is in charge of boys.

The Department of Education currently has two schools. One is in Lushunkou. This is a new school that was just completed last year and can accommodate 5000 students at the same time.

At that time, because of insufficient area, more than 200 mu of grain fields were destroyed, and Ding Yi was heartbroken to death.

The other one is on Phi Island, which is smaller and can only accommodate [-] students.

The school in Lushun, in Ding Yi's words, is to sell houses in the school district.

In the past few years, he has built a large number of houses in Lushunkou. With the reason of going to school, he sold thousands of houses last year. At that time, each house was sold for 100 to 30 taels, and the total was more than [-] taels. It was a good profit. made a fortune.

It can be seen that school district housing was also very marketable in ancient times.

Ding Yi's operations recouped a lot of the high salaries paid to craftsmen, officers, doctors, and teachers in the past few years.

This made Ruan Wenlong so impressed.

It's a pity that it only stops here, because there is no place to build houses in Lushun.

He now has a population of more than 40 in the two places, and Lushun has a population of [-]. There is really no place to build a house, and any further construction will destroy the farmland. It is impossible to destroy all the farmland.

Li Shi took the lead in reporting to Ding Yi.

There are 400 classes in Lushun School, with a total of more than [-] students, and the age of the students is between [-] and [-] years old.

The other five classes are military literacy classes, that is, officers in the military take a month every year to learn characters, only characters, and simple mathematics. Each person has to participate in one month every year, and some have studied for several years.

But as long as you pass the exam, you don't have to come back.

If you study hard, many officers can pass the exam in just one year. Now the longest record in the military is a general who took four years of study to pass the exam, which has become everyone's laughing stock.

The study of ordinary soldiers in the army is taught by the officers, and they learn a lesson every five days.

In this way, after several years of development and study, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are basically all literate, definitely the army with the highest literacy rate in the entire history.

Among the more than 40 classes, there are five classes with more than 200 people who learn how to make guns, five classes where more than 200 people learn shipwrights, and another five classes where more than 300 people learn how to make guns.

I also learn farming, carpentry, sewing, armor making, etc., all in one class.

All classes have cultural subjects, that is, learning to read characters and simple mathematics.

There are about 500 people in several classes, and the main subjects are the Four Books and Five Classics Confucian classics of the Ming Dynasty. According to Song Zhe, the former director of education, it is to train local civil officials for Ding Yi in the future.

Ding Yi didn't pay attention to this place before, but now he knows that there are more than 500 people here who mainly study Confucian classics?

The main student is a hair, of course as a sub-class.

Ding Yi decided to reform the classification system.

And I heard from Mrs. Li that there are tens of thousands of teenagers aged 10 to 18 in Lushun alone, and there are only more than 2000 people here, and everyone is queuing up to come in to learn.

Now only the children of craftsmen, teachers, and military officers in Lushun can come to study.

The children of the common people who are far away from the school have no chance to go to the school, because there are literate people in each castle, and each castle is taught by itself, basically just knowing a few characters.

No wonder I'm understaffed.

Now Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and Beigoucheng have tens of thousands of people, and many of them have children, and they all want to build schools.

"I want to establish the Ministry of Education." Ding Yi said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, you will be the minister, and Hong Anshu will be the vice minister."

Both of them were moved, Li's eyes widened and she smiled, she was a girl, she was an inconspicuous existence in Daming, but here, she was able to be an official.

"The main task of the Ministry of Education is to establish schools in Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Beigoucheng, Pidao, Changsheng Island, and other islands as soon as possible."

"There are so many schools?" The two turned pale with shock, they didn't expect Master Ding to make such a big deal.

Hong Anshu excitedly said: "Master Ding said that education is the foundation of a country, it is necessary, it is necessary."

He is a scholar of Daming, and he didn't get any fame in Daming, but he was respected and reused by Ding Yi, and he was very excited.

Of course it has to be built, otherwise how can we sell the house, Ding Yi thought.

"Everyone over the age of eight and under the age of 8 has to go to school without any reason."

The two listened intently, when Li Shi suddenly thought of something, took out a small notebook and charcoal pencil, and began to remember.

Hong Anshu hurried too, and sure enough he brought it with him.

Ding Yi looked at the two holding books and books, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and suddenly thought of a group of people holding small books next to a big man in the future when he was talking.

"Ahem." He coughed a few times and continued.

He adopted the method of later generations, and built a university in Lushun, mainly for men and women between the ages of 16 and 18, with a three-year schooling period.

Other places such as Lushun and Jinzhou, including the islands, have established primary schools, mainly for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 11, and the schooling lasts for four years.

There are middle schools in Lushun and Pidao, mainly for boys and girls aged 12-15, and the schooling period is three years.

A new primary school student, the main courses are literacy and mathematics, and the secondary courses include Confucianism, queue, and horse riding. There are five courses in primary school.

Middle schools need to go to Lushun and Phi Island to study, and they have winter and summer vacations every year.

The main subjects are literacy, mathematics, and geography, and the secondary subjects include history, blunderbuss (shooting), bow and arrow, queue, and horseback riding.There are eight courses in total.

Universities are only available in Lushun and Pidao, and they have winter and summer vacations every year.

At this time, the culture course became a sub-course. According to the choice of each person and the allocation of the school, it was divided into different majors such as gun making, gun making, shipbuilding, farming, medicine, and logistics.
