“Birth Fund?”

Sang Mu was a little confused, and he couldn't understand what this meant.

Han Yi explained: "Yesterday, Feixue was giving birth, and the situation was very dangerous. She was blessed by the sky, so she came over. As far as I know, childbirth is a gate of hell for women, and this childbirth fund is to improve childbirth technology."

Sang Mu was stunned and said, "I'm afraid this is difficult, right?"

"Of course I know this is very difficult." Han Yi nodded and said, "But even if it's just a little bit of improvement, it's good. Before that, we often used money to do things that seemed not very profitable, but we have received generous returns because only the better of this country, we businessmen can be better. Now that we have made so much money, we should also give back to society."

Although Sang Mu still didn't understand it very much, he didn't have much money. He nodded and said, "I will ask someone to prepare the money immediately."

In fact, Han Yi has always been very generous in research and development, because he can only pay for this, and other businessmen cannot be willing to pay for it. Even if they are willing, it means that they are meaningless, because R&D cannot convert benefits immediately. This takes a long time, requires a lot of money, and may not get results. However, Han Yi knows the importance of this aspect, so he has been spared no effort to build a scientific research system.

In addition, he has money, but he doesn't want to use this money to expand investment. His current basic market has gradually shifted from the initial manufacturing industry to finance, mainly relying on the financial bank to make profits. Only he can play finance. This is really advanced, and people can't play it even if they want to, including the imperial court, but many people can play in manufacturing.

If Han Yi continues to expand his manufacturing industry, the rest of the businessmen will definitely not be able to play with him. With his financial resources, he can monopolize many very industries. He can raise mules and plant grasslands. Then, wealth will be concentrated in his hands alone, and the court can only kill him. Moreover, this is not a healthy business system. He can only invest this money in research and development. He basically maintains a principle that he will go to play if others cannot play.

He set up the birth foundation in a low-key manner and persuaded Liu Qin to join the birth foundation, and at the same time recruited some doctors with rich experience, even midwives.

This did not attract much attention from many people, because this kind of thing is too ethereal, and many people donated what it means. Only Xiaopang donated 10,000 yuan to this foundation. This is just a small episode, and the people's attention is still focused on popularizing education.

After countless discussions, the Education Bureau was finally officially established. Wang Yifang was officially promoted from the president of Zhaoyi College to the director of the Education Bureau. The court gave him a fifth-rank official position. You should know that he was only eighth-rank before.

This really makes a lot of envy. It turns out that a teacher can really become an official.

On the day of its establishment, a series of education bills were promulgated.

First of all, of course, it is the core idea, that is, popularization of education.

This time it is really popularized nationwide, not about small fuss.

The court clearly stipulated that the prefectures must establish colleges, and the Shangzhou must establish three colleges, two in Zhongzhou and one in Xiazhou.

The size of the college is based on the population of the city where the local prefecture is located. Don’t worry about the villages for now, because the villages are too scattered and it is impossible for each village to build a college. The court cannot afford it, and the children in the village cannot go to the city to study. Judging from the current traffic situation, this is not very realistic. This is actually to promote urban development, because education is very attractive.

If the costs are shared by the central government and local prefectures, the central government will reduce the amount of food transported by the prefectures to Chang'an. Han Yi believes that the freight is too unpaid, especially those prefectures and counties without river channels. It is better to use them in the local area to benefit the local people and make plans after the vouchers are popularized.

For cities with developed commercial cities, that is something else to calculate.

In Chang'an, Luoyang, Qingzhou, Laizhou, and the entire canal generation, the imperial court has a rigid regulation that the workshop concentration area must be built. The scale of the college is calculated based on the number of workshops. The construction of the college is funded by local merchants, and the salary of textbooks and teachers is borne by local stamp duty.

The treasury spends on education mainly targets the rural areas where military households are located.

Most of these colleges also have to pay tuition fees, but they are very, very low. This year, the tuition fees are about thirty cents.

Because if it is completely free, no one will cherish it.

But the textbook does not belong to the students, it must be passed on.

Secondly, establish a nine-year compulsory education system and promulgate a textbook selection system. The court does not print textbooks. Even colleges funded by the court require the court to purchase them from the private sector. However, textbook publishing houses must register at the Ministry of Revenue and obtain publishing qualifications before they can publish textbooks, and the contents must be reviewed by the Education Bureau.

Finally, the development of private colleges is encouraged. The private ones are definitely aimed at the rich. If there is no private one, the rich will have to study at the colleges established by the court, and the court will have a greater burden.

In order to encourage private sectors and to encourage education, the court also issued a series of auxiliary policies, namely, the four treasures of the study, paper, books, and other transactions related to education, all exempt from stamp duty and workshop tax.

Because if tax exemption is low, the cost will be low and the profit margin will be large, and businessmen will be willing to invest in education.

Moreover, outstanding teachers will be eligible to enter the Education Bureau and directly become officials.

This is really not empty talk, Wang Yifang and the others have proved this.

At the same time, the court supported the establishment of education associations among the people, assisted the court, and popularized education.

The Education Association was established on the second day, and was jointly established by Zhaoyi Academy and the Aristocratic Academy. Yang Feixue and Cui Yingying are the presidents and vice presidents. This is very interesting. Zhaoyi Academy will definitely dominate, because the scale of Zhaoyi Academy is much larger than that of the Aristocratic Academy, and it is not as large as the number of students and the education situation, and the Aristocratic Academy cannot compare with it.

However, Zhaoyi Academy pushed Yang Feixue out as the president, and the gentry academy wanted to push some gentry out, but when they saw that the other party was Yang Feixue, those gentry had no idea. This was impossible. Although Cui Yingying had been helping Zhaoyi Academy, she was from the Cui family. Therefore, Shandong gentry pushed Cui Yingying down. If you make a woman, then we have to make a woman, so that we men would not be willing to fall under women.

It means that women control the Education Association.

This is also what Wu Meiniang hopes that she will increase the status of a woman, but she does this for herself. Feminism has not yet been formed in her heart. There may be Xiao Wuyi in the world today.

As for textbooks, the imperial court recognized only two, Zhaoyi Academy and the gentry Academy, who had a team dedicated to formulating textbooks.

After the promulgation of these series of policies, the education of the Tang Dynasty was a leap forward, which was equivalent to the addition of hundreds of colleges at once, making great strides.

This is actually beneficial to stamp duty, because stamp duty has led to an increase in fiscal revenue in various places, but the increase is all grain and silk cloth, so it is impossible to ship all to Chang'an. The court could not bear the shipping fee, and Han Yi planned to spend this money into education.

When the people of Chang'an heard this news, they were really excited. They were in Chang'an and had already felt the changes in the surrounding environment. There was a world of difference between those who knew numbers and those who didn't know numbers and those who didn't. This butt determines the head. If you can make more money in your study in the future, then they are full of yearning for reading. But in the past, they were studying for being an official, but now the people's thinking has begun to change. Reading is first of all to make money, not to enter the officialdom.

This directly leads to the fact that the people applying for the teacher qualification certificate this year are ten times that of previous years, and the test points have also been expanded from a test site in Chang'an to Laizhou, Qingzhou, Luoyang, Yangzhou and Muzhou. The majority of the applicants are officials who have been resigned and some candidates who failed the exam.

This is because the private college hosted by Zhaoyi College has very high requirements for teachers, and it is necessary to have young teachers. They must be under 30 years old and don’t even want old ones, because older ones are deeply influenced by Confucianism and are not very correct from Zhaoyi College’s routine. You should know that since ancient times, China has always regarded old age as its respect, and Zhaoyi College has done the opposite this time, which has made the young scholars very excited.

At the same time, the gentry colleges have also begun to prepare for the construction of more colleges.

The gentry Academy has been working hard to compete with Zhaoyi Academy, and has never won before, which has made the Shandong gentry lose face, which is their best field. This time, they cannot lose again when they expand their education, but they are different from Zhaoyi Academy. Zhaoyi Academy cooperates with merchants. The gentry Academy is the major gentry who pays money, does not attract investment, and the cooperation must be super gentry.

Because the gentry academy was established by the four major families of Cui Lu and Zheng Wang, super gentry like them do not like to be with the common people. Even the teachers are all gentry, but they accepted the view that women were the teachers and sent out all the women in the family.

But there is no limit on students. You can study if you have money, no matter if you are a commoner or a gentry.

They wanted to limit it, but this was the general trend. If you want to limit it, you would not be able to expand and you would still be suppressed by Zhaoyi Academy.

However, now businessmen are not in the mood to pay attention to these things. They are fully preparing for overseas expansion. Now the financing is almost the same. Because the wealth brought by Lelangzhou stimulates each of them. They hope to open up more territory completely dominated by merchants. In the expansion of the Central Plains, they must be concerned about the court and the surrounding conflicts in all aspects. It doesn’t matter if they go overseas.

However, their expansion intentions have had a great impact on the market, especially in Jiangnan and Lingnan.

Needless to say, Jiangnan has been famous since the crisis. They have sufficient goods in their hands. After years of development, Lingnan has also had some scale, but a large amount of grain cannot be used in Chang'an. The granaries in Lingnan are almost open and no one steals them. Nowadays, merchants want to expand, they must purchase these resources. If they buy them in Chang'an, they have to transport them to the south.

The merchants bought directly from the local area, and millions of yuan of funds were spent. The Jiangnan market immediately ushered in a new round of madness. Not to mention the Lingnan area, the Lingnan landlords were all laughing crazy, and Lingnan also grew from a place of transformation to an expansionary granary. You should know that the grain price in Lingnan is only three cents a dou, less than one-third of that in Chang'an, which made both buyers and sellers very happy.

At the same time, a large number of Yangzhou and Muzhou merchants began to go south and invest in Lingnan, especially Guangzhou, because Guangzhou is closest to that place, with ports, Muzhou and Yangzhou people are born with merchant genes. They know that those islands will become markets in the future, but there is no manufacturing industry, pottery, silk, and other industries there, and they settled in Guangzhou.

Not only that, the court also outsourced some weapons, because most of the weapons in the government soldiers were built by the government soldiers themselves, and the production line was not that big and some could not be satisfied. Therefore, the court allowed the beauty of freedom to produce leather armor, and allowed Xu Ke's bow and arrow workshop to produce large-scale military bow production, which they traded on their own, and the court was only responsible for crossbows, arrows, knives, and guns.

In this silent situation, the Tang Dynasty seemed to have carried out another large-scale change.

This is something that no one expected. From the nature of the policy, it will not be considered a major policy.

This is what business brings. With the development of business, all regions are connected together. This policy can affect the entire market. However, no policy can cause such a big change in society. In fact, there are only two policies for small peasant society to go back and forth. One is tax increase, and the other is tax reduction.

......

......

On the endless sea, five sailboats were sailing along the monsoon.

"Master, look, that is the island occupied by our Yuan family."

Yuanjiu came to the deck and looked at him and could see a piece of land in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief and stretched his arms again, "Oh! It's been here. I've been on the boat for a long time, so I'm really suffocating." As he said that, he turned around and said to Cui Pingzhong who was hangover: "Old Cui, stop drinking later, we're about to arrive. I don't want to carry you down."

"I'm sleeping now."

After saying that, Cui Pingzhong turned around and continued to fall asleep.

Yuanjiu said to the follower beside him: "Go, throw this guy into the sea to feed the fish."

Although this is unreasonable, Yuan Jiu was originally such a person, and his follower was a little hesitant. He really didn't know whether this was true or false.

Yuanjiu said, "You don't understand this. You are really stupider than a pig. You can throw him down first, let him wake up, and then fish it up again?"

"The villain obeys the order!"

Who dares to disobey this bastard's order?

"What will you follow?"

Cui Pingzhong suddenly sat up and said to Yuanjiu: "I really regret coming with you."
