Chapter 440 Prelude: Ten University Districts

one year later.

Zhou Ming returned to Zhongyuanzhou.

Of course, Jiang Ruonan hoped that he would stay in Xiaoyao Palace and help her deal with those affairs that she was not very good at, so that she could have more time to practice and have fun.

But the matter over Zhongyuanzhou is really important, Zhou Ming can't be away for a long time, otherwise the forces of all parties will be ready to move again.

Besides, the Lingyuan cannon and the Lingyuan battleship cannot be manufactured in Dongyuanzhou. If he does not return to Zhongyuanzhou, the output of these equipment cannot be significantly increased.

Jiang Ruonan thought for a while, and had no choice but to let him go back, and allowed him to take half of the Lingyuan battleship.

……

Tianyang City.

"Finally home."

Looking at the city below, Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

Although there were still a few small troubles, the big obstacles in front of him were basically swept away.

The economy of the Hundred Cities Alliance has also developed very well in recent years. Within the entire Hundred Cities Alliance, the transportation is convenient, the technology is advanced, the material civilization is extremely abundant, and the construction of spiritual civilization has also made great achievements.

In terms of basic education, many cities have followed Zhenlin City's practice, comprehensively promoted six-year or nine-year compulsory education, and established practice schools.

Even though most cities do not have the conditions to implement free compulsory education, privately established schools have attracted a large number of wealthy families who spend money to send their children to school.

Family conditions have become more prosperous, and more and more parents value the education of their offspring.

And Zhou Ming wants to build the Hundred Cities Alliance into a cohesive country, and there are many things to do.

The economic community can play a certain bonding role, but it is far from enough.

Military, cultural, fiscal, taxation, civil affairs, education, etc. are all brought together to form a country.

But these hundreds of city-states, in addition to the existence of certain interactive connections in the economic field, are independent in military, financial, civil affairs, fiscal and taxation, etc., and it is impossible to gather together or return to unity. People will kill you.

The sect-city-state system, which has existed for hundreds of millions of years, cannot be easily replaced. The old inertia, no matter how strong external forces are, cannot be completely broken.

In this world, the probability of establishing a highly cohesive national regime that is consistent from top to bottom and from the center is basically zero. Of course, it is possible to bring a group of people to the mountains to build such a country, but it will take a long time.

Zhou Ming didn't intend to build a highly cohesive country, it would be too laborious, and he didn't plan to gather all the rights of the city-states together to build a central authoritative country.

Most of the rights of the various city-states will continue to be retained, and they will manage themselves.

The tax collected is also spent by oneself.

The central government has only a few rights.

Take control of the national army, for example.

For example, the management rights of national roads, tracks, and air routes.

Take, for example, the management of national educational institutions.

As well as the law enforcement power to crack down on wandering criminals, the power to supervise the living conditions of citizens in various city-states, and so on.

Among these rights that belong to the state, apart from the right to control the military, Zhou Ming believes that the most important is the right to manage educational institutions across the country (referred to as "education right").

The importance of this right, even as much as the army, determines the success or failure of the founding of a country.

Zhou Ming even said with certainty: If there is no right to education, no matter how powerful a country is, it will be torn apart in the future!
And in the past ten years, he has never let go of his attention to the cause of education or stopped operating it for a day.

Because he intends to use the education system as the glue to glue the Hundred Cities Alliance into one country!
How did he do it?

In one sentence, it can be summed up as follows: [-] cities, [-] primary schools, [-] middle schools, and [-] colleges.

It means that within the Hundred Cities Federation, he has more than 1000 primary schools, more than 100 middle schools, and 10 practice academies.

Moreover, he also divided these educational institutions into ten university districts.

These ten university districts, with the practice college as the core, and the middle school and primary school as the foundation, cultivate talents, select elites, and value geniuses.

Each school district includes exactly ten cities (Daxian College is a separate school district, called the "core school district").

Moreover, in these ten university districts, the textbooks are completely unified, the language of the teachers is unified, the examination papers and evaluation methods are unified, and the school rules and disciplines are basically unified.

Even the uniforms worn by students are basically similar in style.

It can be said that in the Hundred Cities Alliance, Zhou Ming's request for education is just two words: unification!

So what are the benefits of doing this?
Naturally, there are great benefits!
One, when education is unified, everyone's way of thinking, knowledge structure, and three concepts are basically unified, and there will be no big differences.

Two, the educational environment is the same, it is easier to communicate with each other, the relationship is easier to warm up, it is easier to deal with, and it is easier to form a consensus.

After the three are combined into a country, because many of the thinking concepts are the same, the internal cohesion of the country will naturally be strong.

In short, for a country, the importance of education must never be underestimated!
In addition, for this world, the monks and immortals with extraordinary power play a leading role. Mortals are located at the base of the pyramid, which is important, but they have no power, no right to speak, and no voice, so they will never be heard. is the ruling class.

As long as the monk class is dealt with, there is no need to think about how the people at the bottom feel. As long as you get the "heart" of the monk class, you will also get the so-called "people's heart".

Most of the monks of the Hundred Cities Alliance received a good education in the practice academy founded by Zhou Ming, became excellent talents, and became "students" of his principal.

For example, Daxian College has trained more than 30 students in the past 8 to 8 years. When these [-] students see him, they will respectfully call him "principal".

As for the other ten practice academies, although they were established only ten years ago, they have trained more than 5 students. Many of these students have become elites in various cities. When these elites see Zhou Ming, they will not call him "principal" ", but also shouted "School Honor".

Because the principals of these ten practice academies were all students brought out by Zhou Ming in the past.

Therefore, Zhou Ming believes that taking the route of "building the country through education" is completely feasible, and a considerable number of upper-middle-level elites will also stand on his side. As long as the ideological work is done well in the education system, the main consensus is reached, and the majority agrees. , the establishment of a country is only a matter of time.

The work of building momentum in this area had been carried out in various colleges as early as more than a year ago, which aroused heated discussions.

Those who support the establishment of the country account for the vast majority of teachers and students.

This time when Zhou Ming returned to Zhongyuanzhou, some teachers and students became more and more excited and sent telegrams to urge Zhou Ming to come back soon and preside over the various tasks of establishing the country.

A general trend is taking shape, and with the active promotion of many people, a country is about to break out of its shell.

Seeing that the time is getting ripe, how can Zhou Ming not come back, and under the support of everyone's expectations, complete this great cause that can be called opening up the wilderness, opening up the world, and embarking on a new path?

A brilliant cause that belongs to both mortals and immortals, and will profoundly change this world.

Thinking about it, my heart was agitated.
