Chapter 478

"Your Highness, this is the telescope you want."

Fang Jian said, holding a stick about 1.2 meters long and 4.5 cm in diameter.

After the Confucianists made trouble, Xiao Ming ordered the glass workshop to make astronomical spectacles to measure the current technical level of Qingzhou. Finally, Xiao Ming chose the Kepler telescope which appeared in the middle of the 17th century.

Compared with the way that Galileo telescope uses Plano convex lens as objective lens and concave lens as eyepiece, Kepler telescope uses two biconvex lenses as objective lens and eyepiece respectively, which improves the magnification obviously.

The biconvex lens can also be polished with the level of glass workshop technology. After all, this kind of lens only protrudes from both sides, just like the modern magnifying glass.

After taking over the first astronomical telescope in Dayu, Xiao Ming looked up at the sky.

At this time, it is evening, and a crescent moon is hanging in the sky. In the telescope, the crater above the moon is clearly visible. At this time, it is in the crescent moon, and the light and dark contrast is significant.

Looking at the bright moon, Xiao Ming fell into meditation. This incident against the Confucian scholars won under his deliberate operation. The new interest class of Fengguo showed a one-sided trend in the face of the confrontation between the old interest class, which was a great encouragement to him.

But for him, the real old interest groups outside the feudalism had not launched a final attack on him, but had been dormant.

In particular, there is a giant sitting on his fiefdom. He wants to prepare a sharp sword for this giant, a sharp sword that can kill it at any time, and this sharp sword is astronomy.

But now that he has an astronomical telescope, it's a headache for him who should study this subject.

Like the modern feudal dynasty, astronomy or astrology is the study of emperors. In the Ming Dynasty, people were forbidden to study this subject. The idea of divine authority made emperors fear this subject.

In the past two years, Xiao Ming wanted to set up an astronomy college more than once, but in the end, he postponed the plan, because once it was publicized, it was basically like he was rebelling.

What is the purpose of a vassal to let his people study astrology? Deny the emperor's divine power, or prepare to start a new stove?

For this reason, he had to study astronomy in secret and wait until the time was ripe to use the sword.

"Keep quiet about it, understand?"

Xiao Ming said in a deep voice that the reason why he concealed it was that he didn't want to make trouble out of it. After all, the imperial court was a backer to him.

After Xie Ziyun was beaten and driven away by the villagers, Qingzhou became noisy again for more than a month, and the incident of Confucianists' havoc in the government gradually subsided. For a time, no one dared to speak against Xiao Ming's various decrees.

After that, private schools all over the country were closed, and all the people's children who used to study in private schools poured into gongshuo to study.

Because the government decrees published in the newspapers are very clear that if you study in private schools, you can't participate in the selection of feudal officials. You can only take part in the imperial examination. If you study in public schools, you can take part in both the imperial examination and the imperial examination. Why not?

The most important point is that you don't need to pay money to study in the public school.

"Your Highness, this is the Duke of Qingzhou. According to your highness, the Duke of Qingzhou is divided into two parts. Children from six to twelve years old study in the building on the left side of gongshudo, while people from 13 to 16 years old are placed in the building on the right side of gongshudo. Through gongshuo's examination, it is decided that these people will eventually be able to enter the College of Bowen."

While walking, Zhan Xingchang introduces the situation of Qingzhou Gong to Xiao Ming.

The location of gongwho in Qingzhou is only 100 meters away from Bowen college. There are 72 ancient schools in gongwho, which are lined with green tiles and red bricks.

There are blackboards and platforms in front of each school, which have the characteristics of modern teachers.

According to the data provided by Zhan Xingchang, the number of common people in Qingzhou City has reached 450000, and the number of children who can enter the city is about 6000.

There is a large stadium on one side of the school. Generally speaking, Xiao Ming is very satisfied with the construction of Gongsheng.

During the period of building gongshue, he seldom came here. Taking advantage of the indignation of the people in the fiefdom, he felt that the opportunity to open gongshue was coming, which was the beginning of his popularization of education.

After all, despite his intervention, the military industry in Qingzhou is not very different from that in Europe, but on the whole, he still lags far behind in talent reserve.

"The pressure of recruiting 6000 teachers this time may be great, but your government has to resist it. In addition, we are not afraid to spend money on teaching and educating people. Remember, we must pay high salaries to these teachers and be strict in the selection, so that they can teach wholeheartedly and concentrate on nothing. We don't want our teachers to be full of incompetent teachers Mr. Shu, if you can't be a teacher, you don't have to think about it. " Xiao Ming's tone is very serious. What he can't tolerate most is a teacher who is wrong for his children, so he would rather pay a high salary than invite a qualified teacher.Zhan Xingchang has a smile on his face. Few vassal kings in the state of Dayu attach so much importance to teaching. For these vassal kings and even the aristocratic families, they only hope that the common people are illiterate. In this way, they can make their position stable. It has never changed for so many years, but everything has changed here.

Now only the Duke of Qingzhou has cultivated 6000 people, and the whole fiefdom can cultivate 40000 or 50000 people at one time. What a terrible number.

"Yes, your highness. In the matter of which is the right one, my highness is fully supported and unswerving." Zhan Xingchang said firmly.

Xiao Ming nodded and went on to say, "what's more, we should not be too rigid in public education. For students who can attend to higher-level education in advance, we can let them go beyond the level to learn. In this way, we can cultivate useful people earlier."

After all, in this era, men can get married and have children at the age of 13, while the children of the 15 or 16-year-old taxi family can even become officials.

What's more, he doesn't have to follow the modern quality education, which is not in line with the current reality. These students only need to master the knowledge system of the 18th century.

Because of this, what they learn will not be as complicated as in modern times, and their education time will be greatly reduced. After the age of 18 or 19, they will be able to contribute to the construction of Qingzhou.
