Restart Spain Sun Never Sets

After Canovas left, Alphonse sat on the throne alone, thinking about the future.

Although the war has ended in Spain today, the huge kingdom is still flourishing everywhere.

If you want to change this situation in a short time, even Alfonso can only do nothing. The workers and peasants still have no money in their pockets, and the numb factory work breeds the buds of socialism.

The literacy rate of Spaniards is far lower than that of Germany, France and other countries. The conservative forces are too strong, and Spain, which is located in Western Europe, has never been able to keep up with the rapid development of other countries.

The second industrial revolution is the opportunity to overtake the Spanish curve.

The internal combustion engine has been in the hands of Karl Benz and others, and has gradually taken shape, and it can even be said to be ahead of other countries.

But the most important point of the electric revolution is electricity, which is the key to the real revolution.

Since 1866, the German Siemens made a generator, and after the 1970s, practical generators have begun to enter the society.

Telephones, generators, lamps, trams, movie projectors, etc., have also begun to enter the society one after another.

The generator, which is the foundation of electricity, is not difficult to find at this time. It has been 10 years since Siemens invented the generator.

The DC generator manufactured by Siemens is naturally the familiar alternating current generator.

Nikola Tesla, the power giant and the father of alternating current, was still in Graz, Austria, struggling to make a living.

Entered Graz University of Technology in 1875 to study physics, mathematics and mechanics. He only took one year of classes at the university, and the Military Border Agency revoked it the following year. He lost his stipend and was forced to drop out because he couldn't pay the tuition.

In 1876, this period was the most difficult time in Tesla's life.

In the original history, the poor Tesla would emigrate to the United States in the next few years.

Going to cut the Hu during this period was nothing but an easy task for Spain.

Howard, go do something.

Alfonso shouted to the outside of the hall, Howard can do this kind of thing, it can be said to be handy.

Go to Graz, Austria, bring back a Serb named Nikola Tesla, like Karl Benz et al, remember to bring it directly to me.

Yes, Your Majesty!

Now Howard is already familiar with the matter of helping His Majesty find someone.

The American Bell requested by His Majesty at the beginning of the year has also left for Spain from the United States. I don't know how to arrange this?

When Alphonse first took the throne, he had already named Bell. After a period of invitation, the invitation was officially successful.

On June 25, 1876, Bell demonstrated his telephone at the Century Fair in Philadelphia.

However, due to the fact that there are still a lot of problems with telephones that have just been born, no one is willing to pay for this technology.

It was not until July 1877 that the Bell Telephone Company was truly established.

Spain found Bell in advance of the incident more than a year earlier, and expressed its willingness to make a lot of investment in telephony technology, which really made the husband of the telephone return to his heart.

Well, let me know as soon as you come,

Edison and Siemens have both made their names now, and getting them to Spain wasn't easy.

If things can really go on smoothly, the cornerstone of the second industrial revolution will still be found in Spain.

......

The Ministry of Education, at this time five newly appointed officials of the Ministry of Educational Affairs, are gathering together for the first internal meeting at this time.

What do you think about the teaching materials?

As the newly appointed Minister of Education, Sergio began to seriously absorb the opinions of everyone.

I think it's possible to get four universities to come out together,

To edit the textbook, they are the most outstanding group of people in the Spanish education world.

Villa was the first to speak out. The four universities he mentioned were the University of Madrid, the University of Barcelona, ​​the University of Granada, and the University of Zaragoza.

As the top four universities in Spain today, they certainly have the ability to compile textbooks for primary school students.

In the name of the government, the four universities are ordered to draw a sufficient number of university teachers, and then the Ministry of Education will review it and add some styles that we want to see.

Asking a group of university teachers to write textbooks suitable for elementary school students can be said to be a bull’s-eye, but the king’s emphasis on this aspect forced them to become serious.

That's right, but I think it is necessary to invite some well-known and outstanding young teachers from the private sector. They are closer to the actual situation and will not appear too advanced.

Sergio casually added that although the university teachers are powerful, they are still out of touch with the primary school students, and there will inevitably be some problems.

What do you think?

He casually turned his head to look at the three unsuccessful candidates, hoping that they could offer more opinions.

I think the compilation of textbooks can't be all dry words and numbers, which will greatly reduce children's interest in learning. Adding some cute patterns appropriately may play a better role.

Davis, who was one of the three unsuccessful candidates, raised his hand and made a sound. This was an answer that followed closely. Even his own children would feel a headache when facing the dense words.

Good proposal, but it would increase the cost of textbooks, which we don't have today.

Villa directly refuted, the more management-oriented talent, refuted Davis's words from other angles.

No, it's not going to add much to the cost, and the money the Prime Minister has won for us is fully adequate.

Davis also began to maintain, once the illustrations were printed on the book, Davis' name was destined to be written in the history books.

Don't be arguing, we voted and agreed to raise our hands for illustrations in textbooks.

Sergio put a stop to the bipartisan bickering and then called for a vote.

Davis was the first to raise his hand and was one of the losing trio...

Villa was the only one who opposed in the end, and the 4-1 vote made Villa somewhat annoyed.

Then that's the decision, and the work related to the illustration will also be looked for someone to do.

Sergio made a final decision and then looked at Villa.

Villa, we can temporarily let university teachers write the textbooks for the first issue, but the publishing house in our department also needs to be established as soon as possible.

The selection and management of personnel must be strict. Please leave this to you.

Compared to the three who tend to be more educators, Villa's talent as a manager is outstanding.

Of course, from next year, the Spanish National Education Press will be able to publish independently.

Villa patted his chest to ensure that although the illustration thing was opposed, Sergio's decision was still very good to calm Villa's mood.

In addition, the matter of the National Education Administration needs to be opened in various cities as soon as possible this year, so that competition among school teachers can be triggered. This is the most benign way of operation.
