The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 470
Of course, Li Zhao didn't attack the Dai Palace directly. In the whole Zhou Dynasty, 28 princes and [-] county kings, the combined power should not be underestimated. It's not easy, especially the vassal kings who were enshrined during the Taizu period, who not only have land but also soldiers in their hands, are not easy to provoke.

So the first thing he did after arriving in Taiyuan was to establish a military academy, that is, to establish his own local armed forces first.

If it was an ordinary general, just the name of the recruitment would be enough to make a head big, but Li Zhao is not afraid.

Knowing that the generals are not able to get rid of the problem of eating empty pay, one check is accurate, and in the name of the governor, they went to the three guards in Taiyuan, Taiyuan Zuowei, Taiyuan Right Guard, and Taiyuan Qianwei to count the actual number of people, and found out that the number of false reports was three. More than 600.

Among them, Taiyuan Zuowei and Taiyuan Youwei only set up garrisons. There should be 500 military households in the Weizhong and 500 soldiers. Taiyuan Qianwei set up a capital division. Three thousand five hundred people.

Adding up the three guards, the total number of garrison troops should be 500.

But Li Zhao came to make an inventory, and the three guards added up to falsely report more than 600 people. The amount of military land embezzled was even more staggering.

Li Zhao held a banquet that day, and invited all the officers and men of the three guards in Taiyuan.

During the banquet, Eunuch Ji brought the Qingzhang data to Li Zhao, and Li Zhao read it out one by one in front of the officers, terrified all the people present, knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

In the end, Li Zhao accepted their "life-saving silver" and promised to help them save their lives.The two guards and one captain finally lost their status and lived idle, while the rest remained in their original positions and waited for observation.It wasn't too bad, and Li Zhao took over the three guards and began to take full charge of them.

With these three guards as the basic disk, it will be easy to operate next.

There was a major disaster just last year, no matter how good the disaster relief work is, there are always many people who are homeless, have no food to eat and cannot survive.

Li Zhao sent the soldiers of the prince's mansion to summon all these people to Taiyuan. Those who were fit and healthy served as soldiers, and those who were not in good condition were assigned to cultivate land or work. undergo the harshest military training.

Originally, these three guards did not have a large camp, and everyone stayed in the fields on weekdays to do farm work, basically without any training.If something happens to you, just pick up your weapon and do it.

Not now.

Li Zhao specially opened up [-] mu of land in the military fields of each guard station for barracks and school grounds.

At the beginning, the military households were very happy. When the prince came, he not only returned the land to them, lowered the land tax of the military field, but also paid them for repairing the school field and building brick houses!
Paying military households to do things is an unprecedented treatment.

But after the school grounds and camps are built, everyone will stop laughing.

Because the prince asked the servicemen to live separately from their families, they could only go home for two days every half month.

After the training started, the horrible amount of training made people complain even more, and they were beaten even if they didn't do well enough.

If this wasn't too hard, the prince invited six gentlemen from the capital to teach him how to read and count.

This group of soldiers not only had to receive military training, but also had to attend some kind of literacy class.

One hour every morning, and an exam at the end of the month!

Those who fail the exam will not only be punished, but also double the amount of training.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, I would be suddenly called up to run around the school field for additional training. If the trainer heard and complained, it would be another stick.

Of course, it's not all bad.

The advantage is that the standard of food in the barracks is more than twice as good as before. Not only can pork and mutton be eaten often, but sometimes beef can also be seen.

Moreover, the barracks now have grades for soldiers.

The most ordinary soldiers only have one or two taels of silver per month (the rations are calculated separately), but the monthly silver for mid-level soldiers is one or two or five taels of silver per month, and the soldiers who pass the examination and have outstanding abilities have enough monthly money. Two or two feet!

Li Zhao used all the methods of training soldiers summed up by Song Chenxu of the Beijing Firearms Battalion.

Two months later, there will be a three-guard joint battle exercise.

The reward for the best performance, and the poor performance, of course, is additional training!Even the newly appointed top executive may be dismissed before the chair under his butt is hot.

Li Zhao was in Shanxi to rectify the guards, and the rectification was full of storms, while Song Qingyue arrived in Guangzhou in April.

Song Qingyue did some calculations, she has established a total of 36 primary schools and nursing homes in Fucheng along the way.

On average, each primary school has one principal and four teachers, while the Nursing Home has one principal, two teachers, two handymen and nursing homes, plus eleven prefectural cities in the north, and now has schools in 47 cities and nursing homes.Every year, the monthly salaries of the principal, teachers, and handymen alone cost about 8000 taels of silver.

The food expenses of the children in the primary school are calculated at one cent and five cents per month, and the living expenses of the children in the nursing home are calculated at five cents per person per month. On average, 150 students are enrolled every month. The nursing home accommodates children Eighty people, the total cost of all the prefectures is about 6000 taels per year.

Based on such a calculation, adding up, the total annual expenditure on nursing homes and primary schools is more than 3000 taels.

Compared with Song Qingyue's current annual income, this is less than 15.00%.

Looking at the numbers on the paper, Song Qingyue said silently: "That's just a little... How about we wait until this group of principals and teachers take up their posts in the second half of the year, let them help in each prefectural city, and then choose three county towns to build Nursing homes and primary schools."

Mo Lan, who was at the side, said in surprise: "You still don't think it's enough! Ma'am, it's already enough!"

Song Qingyue shook her head: "What is enough, at least half of the annual income should be used to open the school. Or do you say that so much money is in your hands waiting to rot?"

In early May, the rubber experiment yielded some results.

Song Qingyue used crystals to produce high-purity acetic acid crystals, that is, acetic acid crystals, and then dissolved these crystals in pure water to produce acetic acid solutions of different concentrations, and then mixed these solutions of different concentrations into raw rubber juice in different proportions. Then you get a batch of rubber like dough.

After these rubbers have been washed, pressed, smoked, and dried, Song Qingyue will test their viscoelasticity, high temperature resistance, air tightness, and even electrical conductivity.

It took about a month to make a rubber band that was comparable to the one in the previous life that cost one hundred pieces...

This glue is sufficient for waterproof and insulating wire casings, but it cannot be used in steam engines and experimental pressure cookers because of its poor heat resistance.

After the thing was made, Song Qingyue immediately sent samples to Beijing and Shanxi respectively, and said that she might need to stay in Guangzhou for a while to continue researching rubber.

Her goal is to make vulcanized rubber that can be used as seals in tires and steam engines.

But Li Zhao sent a letter saying that the brat was so noisy that he could hardly control it, so he asked Song Qingyue to come to Shanxi quickly.

A Niang promised to see her in three months, and it has been more than three months, but he still hasn't seen A Niang, the little boy is crying and howling in front of Li Zhao all day long, wanting A Niang!
