Chapter 198 Nine-Year Compulsory Education in 1917
Throughout March, Qin Zhiyuan was busy arranging various manpower.
The laboratory construction for Michelle and Sandy is progressing rapidly. All the machines have been purchased and installation will begin as soon as the laboratory construction is completed. Before that, Sandy could not wait to start working.
Sandy extracted an effective substance from a melon mold. This substance was the same as what Qin Zhiyuan said, and it was proven to have the ability to kill bacteria. Sandy therefore began further research, with the main goal of figuring out what the substance was.
What.
Sandy's team has a total of 21 people. Except for Sandy, it is divided into two groups. Originally, Sandy planned that one group would conduct research related to penicillin, and the other group would conduct research on Sandy's original topic.
However, with the progress of penicillin, Sandy concentrated all his efforts on the penicillin team, and the original research on the subject was temporarily shelved.
It was as if a door was slowly opening in front of Sandy, who had already seen the hope of the Dynamite Prize.
Auerbach's work began to bear fruit, and the legendary ascetics began to gather in Corsica. They were all loyal supporters of the Knights Templar, numbering between 1,500 and 5,000. They have now arrived in Corsica.
There are more than a thousand people, all of whom were arranged by Qin Zhiyuan in Trident City, some joined the navy, and the rest formed a new army. The name of the army is Trident, and the military flag is the symbol of the Knights Templar.
An artistic trident is embedded in front of the sexual cross.
This is the first time Qin Zhiyuan has seen the symbol of the Knights Templar. To be honest, it is not as good-looking as the one on Misha.
These ascetics range in age, some are old, some are young and strong. Several of them are actually quite famous scientists, similar to Michel Sandy and others.
So under Qin Zhiyuan's warm invitation, these people went to Thunder City to continue their previous work.
The ascetic monks have always been trained as a force. Many of them are proficient in combat, and they are available in various arms, including infantry, artillery, and navy. At Qin Zhiyuan's request, a training school for middle and lower-level officers was immediately established.
The trainees include not only these ascetics, but also junior officers of the First Brigade.
Qin Zhiyuan has never relaxed the training of officers. Since the Kapi period, most of the grassroots officers of the First Brigade have received basic training. Due to the existence of the competition mechanism, many people are still working hard to learn on their own.
Moving towards a higher level. However, due to limited conditions, officers have not been systematically trained. Most of their experience comes from actual combat. The theoretical foundation is not solid. This opportunity can be used to make up for this shortcoming.
The immigrants who had relocated from the Far East finally arrived in Hong Kong. Most of the first batch of nearly 4,000 people were resettled in Thunder, and a small number of family members who accompanied the army went to Trident.
Among this group of immigrants, minors account for the majority, nearly 3,000, ranging from breastfeeding babies to teenagers aged 11 or 12. The ratio of men to women is slightly imbalanced. There are fewer girls and more boys.
Some.
Children are the future of the Chinese people. Qin Zhiyuan understood this very clearly, so the construction of the school was put on the agenda, second only to Michelle and Sandy's laboratory in importance. But after Michelle and Sandy knew about it,
They approached Qin Zhiyuan and strongly demanded that the importance of schools must be put before laboratories, so Qin Zhiyuan adjusted the funding allocation. Four primary schools began construction at the same time, three in Thunder City and one in Trident City.
Qin Zhiyuan requires that all children related to the First Brigade must join the school to receive basic education, including six years of primary school and three years of middle school. After middle school, these children will begin to receive vocational education purposefully, and those with excellent results will
Those with untapped potential will enter higher education institutions, while the rest will join the army or technical schools to learn survival skills.
While the child is in school, all expenses will be waived, and living expenses will be subsidized. The scope of the subsidy includes clothing, food, accommodation, and even travel expenses back to the Far East to visit relatives, etc. Almost everything.
Regarding the children's teachers, Qin Zhiyuan did not have so many suitable teaching candidates, so Tang Zhixin and a group of other students studying in Europe became their children's teachers.
This is a bit overkill. After all, even in the 21st century, Tang Zhixin and others can be regarded as highly educated talents. In this era, they are even a handful of people at the top of the pyramid. Tang Zhixin and his generation of international students all have real talents.
They are real people. They did not travel to Europe just to obtain academic qualifications, but they traveled across the ocean with the lofty idea of ​​returning to serve their country after completing their studies.
But there is nothing we can do about it. We can only make do with it at this stage. After the older children here receive a few years of basic education, they can start to enlighten other children.
In another time and space, when the People's Republic of China was first founded, there was a situation where primary school graduates taught primary school students, but in Qin Zhiyuan's case, there is likely to be an extreme situation of first-grade graduates teaching first-grade students.
Of course, this does not mean that these children are sad. On the contrary, this may be the luck of these children. Not everyone has the opportunity to receive enlightenment from international students, let alone a group of students from the University of Paris, Aachen University, and Oxford.
International students at the university.
This is Qin Zhiyuan's nine-year compulsory education, which appeared a hundred years in advance. Qin Zhiyuan is very much looking forward to what kind of energy these children can unleash.
In the future, Thunder will be built into a city with technology as the main focus and commerce as the supplement. Trident will be built as a city with military as the main focus and trade as the supplement.
After the construction was fully rolled out, Qin Zhiyuan finally felt the financial pressure.
In March alone, Qin Zhiyuan spent nearly 2 million US dollars purchasing various supplies, most of which were construction materials and various experimental equipment, and the other part was living supplies. At the end of March, Qin Zhiyuan ordered ten maintenance ships from the United States.
The Kers-class destroyer has to pay the second part of the cost, which is nearly one million U.S. dollars, plus Qin Zhiyuan's monthly military expenses and workers' wages.
Gaspard made a rough calculation and found that the fiscal year in March actually had a deficit.
A fiscal deficit is not a good sign, not to mention that it seems that there will be basically so much expenditure every month in the future. Qin Zhiyuan must find a way to make changes in order to support the normal operations of Corsica.
The only way to change the financial situation is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
There is no need to think about reducing expenditures. Even if Qin Zhiyuan sells off assets, he will not reduce current expenditures, because current expenditures are related to the future, and even if he reduces them by a cent, it may lead to insufficient future stamina.
Then it can only be open source.
lll company is temporarily unavailable, and penicillin is still in the laboratory. Qin Zhiyuan currently has three financial sources, one is Old Renault, the other is Huang Bohan, and the last is Auerbach.
Extracting more benefits from partners is not a good idea. If Qin Zhiyuan wants to get more money, he must have more financial channels.
