Chapter nine hundred and seventeen: college entrance examination(1/2)

In today's country, the situation is very stable, almost no unexpected things happen, and everything is moving in a good direction.

The southwest land also gradually fell into the hands of Zhao Wen under the attack of Zhao Daniu and others.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has now all fallen into Zhao Wen's hands. Because it is still sparsely populated and vast, Zhao Wen had to temporarily put these areas under military control and establish military towns.

Mangui also gradually took over the northwest, and the situation gradually stabilized. The northwest was also managed by a military town.

In the current country, railways have basically been built to important cities in every province. Although there are still many cities without railways, cement roads have been built.

Except for places with very harsh natural environments such as Qinghai-Tibet and Yunnan-Guizhou, railways have basically been built in the remaining provinces.

When Zhao Wen was experiencing great development across the country, he made the entire process of cement manufacturing public and relied on private power to produce cement. The court only played a regulatory role.

Although this would reduce the court's annual income, it would increase cement production.

In such a short period of time, the industrialization of the country cannot be completed in such a short time, but one thing cannot be ignored, that is, the people in the country have now seen the benefits of industrialization. If someone wants to abolish industrialization now, they will encounter very big problems.

The resistance will turn against the people.

Today, in places such as Korea, Japan, Luzon, and Java, which were conquered earlier, the younger generation of natives there have already had a great effect on their sinicization.

Most of the officials captured by Zhao Wen during the siege of the city were sent here by Zhao Wen.

These officials may run a mess, but if they are allowed to deceive people, they are still very capable.

Zhao Wen stipulated that in these overseas places, no matter who he is, as long as he speaks Chinese well, he will be rewarded.

The rewards are very rich. In addition to food, there will also be financial rewards. They will even be brought to Zhao Wen to receive Zhao Wen's rewards.

This is a supreme honor for those people, and the people in these places are much more enthusiastic about learning Chinese.

It is indeed not easy for them to learn to write Chinese characters, but it is almost enough to be able to speak Chinese.

In Zhao Wen's territory today, the business atmosphere is already very strong and the business environment is very good. It can be said that in this era, almost no country can compare with it.

Zhao Wen expanded the automobile factory and produced a very large number of cars every day.

Although a large number of cars are produced every day, demand still exceeds supply.

The cars produced are basically wood-burning cars. Although there are already fuel cars, the number is relatively small. In addition, the production of oil is very low, so they are not very popular.

Very early on, people in the research institute began to refine oil. Now, although the oil refining technology is not as advanced as that of later generations, it is still very good. At least it can be industrialized for refining.

Due to material limitations and oil production, there are not many gasoline-burning cars in Xuanzhen now.

As for the tanks that Zhao Wen created, most of them are still wood-burning tanks. After all, there is no need to worry about fuel problems, and the technology of wood-burning tanks is already very mature.

As for tanks burning fuel, there are not many.

Nowadays, there are many arsenals around Xuanzhen. These arsenals can already manufacture 56-pound and 56-half-class firearms. Even if Zhao Wen no longer has a warehouse, the impact will not be great.

The number of people in Xuanzang City is increasing, making it appear that Xuanzang City is overcrowded.

After all, Xuanzhen is a small place. Although it was designed by Zhao Wen himself, its own environment affected its development.

In order to better utilize the functions of the capital, Zhao Wen had to choose to move the capital to the capital.

This is also the plan that Zhao Wen finalized long ago, setting the capital as the capital and Xuanzhen as the companion capital.

The capital mainly plays political functions, while Xuanzang mainly plays industrial functions.

In Zhao Wen's plan, from now on, there will be as few factories in the capital as possible. Except for some indispensable factories, there will be no other factories if possible.

Anyway, Xuanzhen is not very far from the capital, so there is nothing inappropriate about placing the factory in Xuanzhen.

Now, the only problem is that the population is still somewhat insufficient. Zhao Wen, who came from a later generation, knew that in the early days of industrialization, population was the most important resource, especially the population with relatively high technical quality.

However, the labor force in Zhao Wen's hands is slightly insufficient, let alone a skilled and high-quality population.

Under such an environment, Zhao Wen had to solve this problem by opening more schools.

Zhao Wen opened schools specializing in training technical workers and schools specializing in training scientific research talents in capital cities of various provinces across the country.

Because the current transportation environment is countless times better than that of Ming Dynasty, the enrollment scope of these schools is spread across the country.

The teachers in these schools are all transferred from universities. Over the years, universities have also trained a lot of talents, which can fully satisfy the needs of these schools.

Admissions to these schools are conducted in the same way as universities, through examinations.

At the beginning, the enrollment of these schools was done by the schools themselves. Later, in order to standardize it, Zhao Wen unified the examination and placed it on June 78th. It was the same as the college entrance examination in later generations, except that one was on the lunar calendar.

One is the solar calendar.

The imperial examination has been almost completely abolished, but the method of selecting talents through the imperial examination has not been abolished, but has been inherited in the form of the college entrance examination.

Although these schools in various provinces across the country can also cultivate talents, in the hearts of the people, Huaxia University in Xuanzang is still the best.

Because this school has the only political science academy in the country, only by being admitted to this school can one seriously enter officialdom.

The concept of officialdom has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no way to get rid of it for a while. This also leads to the fact that when filling out the application form every year, the admission score of Huaxia University is the highest.

...

Zhao Wen stood on the wall of the Xuanzhen Palace, quietly watching the sunset in the sky.

He stretched out his hand, touched the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Unknowingly, I am already old!" Zhao Wen's face was filled with emotion.

"Your Majesty, in his prime years, will surely live longer than Nanshan Mountain!" Chen Donglai, who was standing behind Zhao Wen, didn't know what Zhao Wen meant by what he said, but he flattered him in time.

Zhao Wen chuckled and said: "You might be able to live a long life and work hard, but it's really difficult to live longer than Nanshan. It's beyond human reach."

Under the setting sun, the street lights on the streets of Xuanzhen gradually turned on, and people after get off work filled the streets.

"How is the reconstruction of the capital now going?" Zhao Wen asked.

After Zhao Wen captured the capital, he began to repair the capital. When Zhao Wen decided to move the capital to the capital, Zhao Wen stepped up the repairs to the capital.

"Back to Your Majesty, the palace part of the capital is relatively easy to repair, but after all, the capital is the capital of the former Ming Dynasty. It has a large population and has been in disrepair for a long time. There will be no way to repair it all in a while.

The inner city of the capital has generally been repaired, but there are still some shortcomings. As for the outer city, the repairs are really not very good. The construction team of the Ministry of Industry has been short of manpower. They not only have to repair the capital, but also To build a factory..."

Standing behind Zhao Wen, Chen Donglai quietly talked about the current difficulties.

Zhao Wen listened quietly and said nothing.

Zhao Wen knows that the things he is encountering now are very difficult to solve. After all, this is a problem of population shortage, which will be difficult to solve in a short time.

Although Zhao Wen had issued a policy to encourage childbirth a long time ago, it would take at least more than ten years for this policy to have significant effects.

We are not in the future, and the population is not more than a billion. It is still very difficult to accomplish a large number of things with a small population.

Zhao Wen stayed on the city wall for a short time, then walked down and came to the imperial study room.

Now Zhao Wen goes to bed late almost every night.

It is already June, and there are only a few days left before the college entrance examination.

No matter what time of year, Chinese people attach the most importance to education.

In the entire Xuan Town, almost all the people have avoided doing anything these days. Even if something force majeure happens, the people will try not to make or make as little noise as possible.

As the college entrance examination approaches day by day, a tense atmosphere is constantly floating in the sky over Xunzhen.

The inns in Xuanzhen are basically full. The reason for this is that there is a college entrance examination examination center in Xuanzhen.

Because the number of students today is still very small compared to later generations, so the students around Xuanzhen are basically concentrated in Xuanzhen.

The college entrance examination lasted for two days, so these students had to find an inn in Xuanzhen.

The people around Xuan Town have a relatively high living standard, so they basically have the money to stay in an inn.

But if you look at it at the local level, the situation is a little different. Even in Shanxi, which Zhao Wen took over earlier, some people still live in relatively poor conditions. Although their lives are much better than before, there is nothing they can do about it. Compared with the people in Xuanzang Town.

In a small mountain village in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi Province, a boy in his early sixteenth year stood at the door of his house carrying a cloth bag full of patches.

His parents stood in front of him and kept urging him.

The boy is not very old, but his years of hard work make his parents look very old.

"It will cost a lot to go to Taiyuan Prefecture to take the exam this time. This is what dad has saved over the years, specifically for you to marry a wife. Today, dad will take it out first. As for the money for marrying a wife in the future, dad will earn it later!" The father took out a shabby cloth bag from his arms, carefully opened the bag layer by layer, and took out the silver coins inside.

There are not many silver coins, only about five, but this is half their life's hard work.

"If His Majesty is still considerate of us ordinary people, he has waived many taxes, and the annual food tax is also very low, and there is still a lot left over at the end of the year, otherwise I would not be able to save so much money.

During the years when you were studying in high school in Ping Duong Prefecture, you spent almost no money from your family. The court would subsidize your tuition. As for your food expenses, it didn’t cost much...

This is all the grace of the imperial court. You must keep it firmly in your heart and repay the imperial court and your majesty well in the future.

Be extremely careful when going out..."

The nagging of his parents was always so long. The young man stood quietly in front of his father and listened quietly.

"From a poor family to a rich man, when you arrive in Taiyuan Prefecture, find a good place to live and don't wrong yourself!"

The father handed the money in his hand to the boy. The boy took the money and put it in his innermost pocket.

"Today your third uncle is going to Pingyang Mansion. When you get on his tricycle, I have already said hello..."

While he was talking, a tricycle parked in front of his house.

The young man recognized this as his third uncle at a glance.
