Chapter 336 Supervising the construction of the Academy!
Chapter 336 Supervise the construction of the academy!
Xidu, an open space in the city, is full of craftsmen and slaves busy. In the distance, there are strong and powerful soldiers wearing short clothes carrying stones, wood, bamboo, bricks, and tiles.
Come and go, one after another, in a steady stream.
The whole scene was in full swing, and labor horns sounded everywhere.
Yan Zhi Ah Qi stood on the construction site, holding blueprints and ink pens in his hands, organizing the craftsmen and slaves to construct. This was the first job Yan Zhi Ah Qi got in the Xi Kingdom to supervise the construction of the academy.
King Xi planned to establish an academy in Xidu to teach young children and young people in Xidu how to read and write.
Weir Man Ah Qi was discussing the art of mechanism with King Xi, and King Xi described to him a beautiful vision. One day, everyone in the land of Zhuxia will have the opportunity to read and be literate. They will all be educated, rich and have no cars.
Everyone is eloquent, everyone is well-informed, everyone can point out the country, criticize Fang Qiu...
King Xi was extremely confident when he said these words, especially when everyone could point out the country. He said that in the future, everyone will read books, and they will stop believing in books after reading too many books. As for everyone, everyone will have weird things.
You can express your opinions on everything with your own way of thinking, no matter it is right or wrong, right or wrong.
Yan Zhe Ah Qi did not believe these absurd and idealistic statements in his heart, but he yearned for the era described by King Xi when everyone had books to read and everyone was wise.
As soon as King Xi returned to Xi Kingdom, he immediately supervised the construction of the college buildings. This surprised and surprised Yanzhi Ah Qi. It turned out that King Xi was not just a simple fantasy, but immediately put it into action. Now the first
This academy is the beginning of greatness.
Yan Zhe Ah Qi was deeply infected. No matter whether he succeeded in the end, Yan Zhi Ah Qi was willing to follow in the footsteps of King Xi and keep chasing.
Weir Man Ah Qi is proficient in the art of civil engineering, and supervising the construction of college buildings is a piece of cake for him. However, he is not sloppy at all, and works conscientiously. He spends the middle of the night preparing for the construction supervision.
However, when he arranged for craftsmen and slaves to build the academy houses, he was very surprised. First of all, King Xi's support for the academy exceeded his imagination. Thousands of craftsmen, slaves and even the Xidu army were involved at the same time.
The construction started, which made it difficult for Yanzhao Aqi to see such a big scene for the first time.
However, the process of building the academy house went surprisingly smoothly, and even the weir master, Ah Qi, was a little confused.
Needless to say, the army of Xidu, Yan Zhi Ah Qi ordered troops on the battlefield. During his long journey, he saw that the army was strictly disciplined and enforced orders and prohibitions. As long as King Xi gave him the power to mobilize Xidu soldiers, Xidu soldiers would always give him orders.
It is done meticulously and without compromise at all.
The craftsmen in Xidu are also more active and smarter than the craftsmen in other places. The craftsmen do not reject complicated and difficult work at all. Instead, they often ask him for advice and learn, and they work quickly and seriously.
What surprised Yan Zhi Ah Qi the most was the slaves in Xidu. The slaves here were never lazy in their work. They were always the first to do the work when they saw it. There was not even a fierce supervisor with a whip on the field.
After working every day, the slaves divided into groups began to compete with each other to see who did more work and who did the better work. The winning slaves would always cheer and cheer, causing countless slaves to shake their heads and sigh.
From time to time there will be slaves in the crowd who are not convinced and shout that they can do better tomorrow.
In the eyes of Yan Zhe Ah Qi, these scenes were extremely absurd and things happened one after another. Yan Zhi Ah Qi was dumbfounded and exclaimed in disbelief.
Although their Yanzhi brothers have just come out of the mountains now, they have traveled around with their teachers since they were young. They have a lot of knowledge about the customs and customs of various countries. There has never been a country where slaves are more capable and energetic than the slaves of Xi Country, which impressed him.
The image of a slave who was indifferent, ate and waited for death, and was lazy and slippery suddenly collapsed.
If the slaves in front of him were common people, Yan Zhi Ah Qi would not have any doubt. However, Yan Zhi Ah Qi went to inquire and found out that they were all slaves.
"Master Supervisor, we are really slaves, but we may not be slaves in the future, at least the children will no longer be slaves." A slave said.
Yanzhao Ah Qi asked in surprise: "How do you say this?"
Slave: "Master Supervisor, you just came to Xidu and you didn't know the situation. Your Majesty has ordered slaves with outstanding performance to be freed from slavery. In just one year, hundreds of slaves in Xidu have been freed from slavery. Now I have accumulated excellent points.
It’s almost done, as long as we open up wasteland this year
If I can work harder and plow more fields, I will be able to be self-reliant and become a citizen of Xidu. In the future, my children may also be able to study in this college. I will be proud to tell you when the time comes.
For the children, I have also contributed a lot in the academy."
The slave's words have been ringing in Yanzhe Ah Qi's ears all day long. He was both surprised and a little shocked. Xidu brought him too much surprise.
In this remote town, he saw an unprecedented vitality, like the weeds in the wilderness, which flourished as long as the spring breeze blew.
"Perhaps the wisest decision I made in my life was to join the king. Xi Country is really a magical country!" Yanzhao Ah Qi couldn't help but sigh, even as he shuttled among the craftsmen and slaves.
Yao Yun and the second elder Wu Tong were also standing on the city wall, quietly watching the busy construction site of the academy.
"Your Majesty, this is not a small gesture. This academy is too big. If I read it correctly, this academy can accommodate thousands of students. This will put a lot of pressure on our finances."
Previously, Yao Yun had asked Sun Muyue to open a school to teach people how to read and write, and brought out the first batch of small officials in Xidu who were familiar with the law. Now that the national power of Xi State is booming, the momentum of the academy opened by Yao Yun this time is even greater.
Yao Yun smiled: "Education will rejuvenate the country, and these investments will definitely pay off. Besides, this academy is not big. Xidu and even the towns and villages in the mountains have a population of hundreds of thousands. Such an academy is actually relatively small."
The Second Elder: "Well, everyone can read and write, but I don't know when they will be able to do it. Hey, many people are working hard all day long to make a living. The children at home can be regarded as half of the labor force. There is no limit to learning and learning, and reading and writing is a burden for the people.
It’s no small matter. When the time comes, we must also consider everything carefully when implementing policies, otherwise we may end up doing bad things with good intentions.”
Yao Yun smiled and said: "The second elder is right, but the academy is not a private school for nobles, and it does not need to teach every student to become a great talent. The academy is all-encompassing, and the knowledge it teaches is not only university knowledge, but also other knowledge.
Knowledge that helps fame, farmers
Learn from experienced farmers, craftsmen and apprentices learn from old craftsmen... Some students only need to read and read. If some students are extremely talented, our academy can also fully train them in the art of spells, refining Qi, and governing the country.
Knowledge, etc.”
"In short, academicians of the academy include agriculture, industry, and commerce. What I need are talents who can strengthen the country. In the future, the academy will continue to provide them."
Yao Yun was chatting, and at this moment, the sound of phoenixes sounded from the horizon. It was the clear call of luan and phoenix. When everyone saw it, they saw that it was the emperor's blue bird envoy!
