I dressed as a witch doll

Of all the changes during this period, the establishment of the main agronomist and the cultivation of root potatoes were the most important.

The establishment of the agronomist updated the agricultural tools and planting and breeding techniques, which greatly improved the farming efficiency in the next half a year, allowing the people of Feng Dynasty to obtain a bumper harvest.

Emperor Qiancheng was worried that the price of grain would fall below the bottom line, so he rigidly set the minimum price for grain sales, and in the name of the court, purchased a large amount of excess grain on the market to stabilize the slightly lower grain price.

This can not only guarantee the income of farmers, but also allow people without land to eat.

With the development of the silk weaving industry, people gradually have more money on hand.It is no longer difficult for them to eat, and people are willing to start consuming pork on weekdays, which also makes the pork farming industry develop smoothly.

The freezer technology produced by Ye Tingsi was not widely used among the people, but the imperial court directly built public freezers in towns and cities, and rented them out to the common people at a very low price.

From the very beginning, the freezer used the technology of making ice with saltpeter, and placed a large number of ice cubes inside, and then used insulation materials to build the freezer underground to reduce the consumption of psionic liquid as much as possible.

However, even so, it still made Ye Tingsi's psionic department miserable, and Wen Chi had to work hard to promote the research and development of electricity.

But his energy is still more on the levitation train.

When he moved the model of the suspension train to the court, all the ministers in the court were shocked.

In their conception, those that can fly in the air are only immortal skills of gods, but now Ye Tingsi has moved them to the human world so that everyone can use them.

This made some people feel shocked, and some even felt scared.

But then Danggan Chengdi told them that if this technology is used in inland transportation, it can not only solve the problem of canal blockage, but also lay such a track all the way to the west until it runs through the continent.

Then in addition to sea trade, Fengchao can also have another trade channel and obtain a lot of financial and material resources.

The blueprint he drew made the people in the court hall salivate, and then the whole court hall started to run quickly. Everyone worked together to complete the laying of the suspension train tracks throughout the Feng Dynasty, and to lay them to the entire court. Go to the mainland!

Wen Chi found out that Emperor Qiancheng was indeed in command.

In fact, in the feudal society, the contradiction between the noble class and the common people was very great.

The greater the power of the aristocracy and the power class, the more land they will get, and the people who rely on the land to survive will lose the resources to make a living.

As land annexation becomes more and more serious, this contradiction will tear the entire empire apart.

However, Emperor Qian Cheng kept pushing the desires of these ministers to other places outside the country.

This way of diverting conflicts allowed Emperor Qiancheng to protect the people of Feng Dynasty well, and also to maximize the initiative of these aristocratic officials.

Therefore, after all his policies are issued, he rarely encounters resistance.

Because everyone knows that almost every decision made by His Majesty can enrich their pockets to a certain extent.

Of course, there are other people who will stand up and oppose when their interests are touched, but the voices of these people's opposition are either very small, or they can only be applauded in Zhao Prison.

The eunuch system firmly in the hands of Emperor Qiancheng is not for show.

This also made the Feng Dynasty gradually sprout a bourgeoisie in this series of changes, but he did not need to worry that these emerging classes would defeat Emperor Qiancheng's rule—like the emperors in France, they repeatedly was sent to the guillotine.

Because for the eunuchs who hold most of the armed forces, they can always rely on the emperor.

Wen Chi does not agree with such a power system deep down, but he has to admit that it is the best system that can make the court progress steadily.

The premise is that the emperor's mind must be clear enough.

The production and laying of the spiritual road requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it cannot be completed in a short period of time. Therefore, Wen Chi had to make another request. He hoped to establish an exclusive school under the Yeting Division. , specifically to teach children the techniques of Ye Ting Division.

In the past, he used to accept some orphans or buy children from slave traders for education and to serve as experimental assistants.

The part of the children who were trained before have gradually grown up now. Some of them will follow the experimenters to carry out experiments, while others will follow people like Shang Kui to run around and become clerks.

But the current manpower is still insufficient, and more fresh blood is needed to enter the Ye Ting Division.

Naturally, it was impossible for Emperor Qian Cheng to refuse him, so he quickly allocated a piece of land in the city to Ye Tingsi, and asked the imperial supervisor to draw up the blueprints for construction.

The school has not yet been completed, and the enrollment has already begun in full swing.

With the establishment of this school, other new schools gradually began to appear in Fengchao territory.

Of course, these schools are different from those of Ye Tingsi, they are only for basic education for local children.

Now that the efficiency of the labor force has improved, the two most basic industries, such as planting and weaving, no longer require so much labor, so many children do not need to participate in labor and have more free time.

Parents also have some money in their hands.

Under such circumstances, it is the best time to carry out basic education.

Of course, more people knew that after Ye Tingsi opened the school, no matter whether they had money or not, they flocked to it. Going to Ye Tingsi to study for a while became the most yearning thing for all the children who aspired to be other than officials.

Xiaoshu's father had returned from the front line a year ago. He was injured on the battlefield, and now he has retired. However, he got a good job in the business management department of Xifang, and the family also saved some money.

So after hearing that Yetingsi's school recruited students, Xiaoshu's father wanted to send Xiaoshu to Yetingsi to study.

But Xiaoshu shook his head, "Father, I can't read or write. It is said that Ye Tingsi's admission requirements are very high, and the sons of Wen Xiucai next door have all passed the primary school and were not selected, so it is even more impossible for me!"

Xiaoshu's father sighed when he heard the words.

He went to Hedu to earn his life, hoping to bring a better life to his children.

But people's upward desire will not stop, and now that life is prosperous, he hopes to change the lintel of his family.

Except for Xiaoshu's one son, the other two are daughters, and his wife has passed the age of childbearing. He put all his hopes on Xiaoshu.

However, due to the poor life in the past, the child was delayed, and it was too late to learn to read at such an old age. Even if he started to learn to read now, how promising would he be?

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, and decided to give up.

But at this time, Xiaoshu's grandma pushed the door open and came in, "No, if you don't try this, I won't agree!"

Xiaoshu's father looked at his mother in surprise, but heard the other party continue: "If you don't have this kind of drive, you won't be successful in doing other things in the future."

Hearing this, Xiaoshu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Grandma, I'll go!"

On the second day, Xiaoshu's father accompanied him to the Admissions Office of the Yeting Division.

After Xiaoshu went there, he found out that during the enrollment process, all the children who take the test will be divided into two categories, one is literate and the other is illiterate.

He doesn't know how to pass the test for those who are literate.

But the illiterate group had a direct interview.

Throughout the interview process, although Xiaoshu was nervous, he was still able to answer the interviewer's questions clearly.

Those questions weren't that hard either.

The interviewer chatted casually with him, then read an article and asked him if he could understand it.

Then he was asked to repeat the general idea, and asked a few questions related to the article.

In the following questions, there are some graphic questions and a few interesting stories. Let Xiaoshu talk about his understanding of these stories.

In the end, the interviewer wrote some crooked things on a magical whiteboard and asked Xiaoshu to read it after him.

So, in that half hour, Xiaoshu learned the numbers from 1 to 10 and simple addition and subtraction.

At the beginning, Xiaoshu needed to count with his fingers, but later he was able to quickly report the answer to the interviewer.

The interviewer was very satisfied, nodded and smiled and gave him a piece of paper.

Xiaoshu came out with the piece of paper with a red heart on it, another teacher waiting outside the door glanced at him, then said to him with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, you have passed, you can come to school tomorrow !"

Hearing this, Xiao Shu was stunned, unable to believe his ears for a while.

And the other children lined up outside the door looked at him with envious expressions on their faces.

Because the Ye Ting Division urgently needed talents, the first batch of students only trained for half a year. After learning basic literacy, arithmetic and logic skills, they were first sent to the laboratory as assistants to draw spiritual road maps.

After that, these people spend half of the day at work, and the other half of the day continue to study in school.

With the participation of this group of people, the track laying of the suspension train finally went smoothly.

But for the suspension train project, besides the track, the most important thing is the carriage.

A large amount of steel is consumed in this regard.

Wen Chi was very worried about this.

It is true that Fengchao has iron mines, and steel refining is not far behind, but it is not a country rich in iron mines.

Especially in the stage of large-scale renewal of agricultural tools, Fengchao iron ore inventory has been consumed in large quantities, and now steel carriages are still being manufactured one by one, and the Ministry of Industry is almost miserable.

Wen Chi followed up on this matter the whole time, but it made him so distressed that he almost scratched his head.

No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to conjure materials out of thin air.

But in this case, it would be too ridiculous to use wooden materials.I'm afraid that a batch of carriages will have to be replaced in three to five months, and what's more, a train may not be able to run.

Wen Chi was so worried about this matter that he didn't even think about urging Yuju to follow up with the queen's body. He held his head and worried every day, and he lost a lot of weight all of a sudden.

Emperor Gan Cheng looked distressed, and advised him: "Give the truth some more time, and I will definitely solve this matter for you."

"How do you solve it?" Wen Chi wondered.

Emperor Gan Cheng paused, and said, "In a few days, you will know."
