I am Da Song

Chapter 240 Suffering from the Same Batch of Ugly Children
According to the historical process, which is the advanced class that replaced the class of feudal landlords?
According to the Western process, it is undoubtedly the urban bourgeoisie.

But even in the West, there has been a long struggle between the bourgeoisie and the peasantry.For a long time, the feudal lords could always lead the serfs to suppress the progressive policies of the urban bourgeoisie.

In the East, the struggle between the peasants and the urban class was even more protracted.

Even if the Song Dynasty had the most powerful urban class in the history of the Central Plains, far stronger than the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it could not compete with the hundreds of millions of peasants in the Song Dynasty.

So Zhao Huan never thought about replacing feudal landlords with urban workers.

Zhao Huan finally chose young and enthusiastic students, similar to the patriotic students of later generations.

He invested a huge amount of wealth in building schools in order to popularize education so that the children of the working class and peasant class can go to school, and generally go to school.In the end, a large-scale student class was formed to replace the scholar-officials.

This student class must not be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people like the imperial examination, otherwise they will soon be assimilated by scholar-bureaucrats.

But it must be millions, or even tens of millions of levels.

They don't have to become officials, but they can also become urban workshop owners, skilled craftsmen, or even wealthy merchants and resource explorers.

In short, they must become a group representing the most advanced productive forces of the entire country.

Just like their student movement during the Jingkang disaster, it can produce the most correct ideas and the most positive improvements.

In the past, they had advanced ideas and civilized ideas, but they were unable to gain power, so the entire Song Dynasty was corrupted by feudal literati.

Now Zhao Huan strongly supports them. Not only does he set up schools to expand their entire class, but he will also directly recruit scholars from them in the future, giving them the most convenient channel for class promotion.They will usher in the most vigorous hope.

When Tang Yi heard Zhao Huan's question, she thought about it seriously, and replied: "The Zhengshitang has not yet submitted a summary letter, and the establishment of the school should still be in progress. There are two related letters. All have been issued, and schools will be built in various places by the end of the year, and the imperial court is requested to coordinate the Nanjing Royal Women's College to allocate teaching to various places in advance."

"This month, the Taixue Department will play a performance. The construction of the new Taixue has been completed, and it will be officially taught in the Shaotian New District at the beginning of the next month."

Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, and he said: "The school is about to be completed in the past two years. These students are loyal and inspired the sun and the moon in times of national calamity. They can be called the backbone of my dynasty and the hope of the world. When the school starts, remember to remind me Go and see them too."

Tang Yi nodded and said, "I've made a note of it. I heard that Shaotian New Area is already in its infancy, and the officials can go and have a look."

"Yes. But both Shaotian New District and Taixue are high-rise buildings, and laying a solid foundation is the most important thing. Let the prime ministers pay more attention to the students of the Sifang official school. All the people of my Song Dynasty, regardless of gender, after the age of three, Enrollment is required before the age of ten."

As for popularizing compulsory education, this is a matter of determination and has nothing to do with productivity.

If you insist on a kid under ten going to school, how much agricultural production will be delayed, that's just a straight bar.

No family would starve to death because a few runny-nosed children didn't go to the field to give birth.

Even if these children between the ages of three and ten do not go to school, they still use urine and mud every day, walk yellow dogs, touch mud eels, and ride bamboo horses.

Knowledgeable families will send them to private schools in the family to study with the children of the family.Families without knowledge just let them have fun in the countryside.

It's just that now that the Great Demon King Zhao Huan is in power, these brats don't have to think about fishing for birds. They all go to school to study and learn to read.

The state establishes schools, assigns teachers, does not charge tuition fees, and also manages food.

In this case, there will be almost no burden on the bottom farmers, and the financial pressure will not be greater than the pressure brought by the national pension to the previous Song Dynasty.

So as long as Zhao Huan's attitude is firm, it is completely achievable to popularize education.

All that needs to be changed is the attitude and perception of education in the whole world.

However, the laws of the Song Dynasty are not as tender as those of later generations. The government has issued strict orders, and any parents who dare not send their children to school will inevitably receive a severe lesson from the government.

The only ones who suffer are these children.

Chances are they'll get to live with a joke that's famous for posterity.

"At the opening ceremony, the principal made a speech that the first year of high school will sweep the snow, next year the second year of high school, and the year after the third year of high school."

The snow sweepers are the same people every year.

Under Zhao Huan's rule, it is also possible that the same group of people enforced universal education again and again.

At present, Zhao Huan only forces children over the age of three and under the age of ten to go to school, and there is no mandatory requirement for children over the age of ten.

In terms of the productivity of an agricultural society, the mandatory implementation of comprehensive education is still somewhat reluctant.Half a child, eat poor old man.These teenage bear children still have to undertake a certain amount of social production.

Zhao Huan intends to use these few years to promote industrialization, develop the urban commodity economy, and increase the productivity of the entire country.

Then the mandatory education of children over ten years old will be introduced.

Hmm... At that time, these children who are receiving compulsory primary school education will be able to seamlessly connect to compulsory secondary school education.

Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing, and he could imagine the scene of the bear children crying when they heard the news.

If the queen were here, she would definitely ask Zhao Huan what he was laughing at.

But Tang Yi was relatively timid, and her time with Zhao Huan was relatively short, and she still couldn't let go, so she quietly rubbed Zhao Huan's head behind Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan enjoyed it for a moment and said, "What news has come from Honglu Temple recently?"

Tang Yi, the young minister of Honghe Temple, is Tang Yi's father. In order to avoid suspicion, Tang Yi deliberately saved the good news in this regard until the end, and said: "Honghe Temple has come to report, and there is news from Xiliao that Jin Kingdom is sending the west to rectify the situation. The military preparations for war have the meaning of an expedition to Xiliao. Xiliao asked me to remember the friendship of the brotherly alliance before, and send troops to contain the Kingdom of Jin."

"It's no wonder that the Jin army didn't go south this year. It turned out that they went to the west to fight grass and valleys." Zhao Huan said with emotion: "Does the country of Jin want to go back to the way the Huns used to? Go south to the Central Plains and control the Western Regions in the west?"

Tang Yi echoed: "That woman also knows that this is repeating the same mistakes and it is difficult to succeed."

The corners of Zhao Huan's mouth rose slightly, probably the northern powers who engaged in the double-headed eagle strategy were not very lucky, right?
Always able to catch up with the time when the Central Plains is strong, being kicked behind the butt by the Central Plains and pounded violently all the way.

But it's hard to say that this is the opportunity for Jin Guo to stabilize.

The division within the Kingdom of Jin is too serious.The Hu people's conservative faction, the Sinicization civilization faction, the brothers and brothers faction, the father's death and son succession faction, the clan and tribal power decentralization faction and the royalist centralization faction are fighting to the death.

It's better to separate than to consume internally and fight to form a pot of porridge.The Huhua faction plundered westward, while the Sinicized faction stayed in the east to study the advanced civilization of the south.

Anyway, no matter whether it is west or south, it is the most affluent place in the world at present.
