No matter it is once every ten years, the princes come to pay tribute in person.

Later, it was said that the Emperor's Academy would be built and each country would be allowed to send a hundred people to study.

All the princes and kings present were very happy.

The former are happy that they don’t have to travel every year. There are too many dangers in the wild these days, and there are too many kinds of wild beasts. Even if they are the masters of a country and can go to the road as much as possible, it does not mean that there is no danger in traveling, and

It's easy to get sick while running around in the wild. If they get seriously ill, they won't get any preferential treatment just because they are the king. These are all risks.

I come here every year without encountering any danger.

They may also have a short life.

It's different once every ten years. To put it bluntly, some of the older princes present are not sure whether they can live until ten years later. Therefore, when they have no choice but to pay tribute, naturally it will be ten years.

It's worth a visit in person to reassure them.

It is even more natural for them to be happy about the so-called opening of the Emperor's Academy later. After all, the Emperor's Academy will teach them the knowledge they are eager to know. If they learn just a little bit, they can improve their overall national strength.

If you don’t learn, you will fall behind the times every minute.

Who can be unwilling to do this or not come? Not only do they have to come, but they also have to send the smartest people in the country to study.

Therefore, after the celebration, the princes and kings from various countries did not stay in Luoyang for long. They quickly returned home in a hurry with the basic textbooks and examination questions distributed by Ding Yun. The further away from the capital, the more anxious they became.

It was only at this time that Ding Yun officially announced that the Tianzi Academy would open in three months.

All knowledgeable people from all over the world are welcome to take exams for admission.

In addition, enlightenment education also began to advance simultaneously.

For now, although Zhou Guo's economic and military strength have been improved, these economic and military strengths are very weak. They are completely dependent on Ding Yun's golden finger and the support of Wanjie Takeout Software.

If Ding Yun leaves immediately, it won't take long for the entire Luoyang economic circle to fall apart and completely collapse. It is hard to say whether the existing soldiers are willing to listen to King Zhou.

Maybe other vassal states found Zhou weak.

You can also directly join forces to destroy Zhou.

All of this is due to Ding Yun's excessive efforts to seize the time to achieve her goals. After three or four years, the products she sells now are still empty shells.

The soldiers also relied on some toy medicines provided by Ding Yun and the medicines injected into them to maintain their relatively strong strength and intimidate the princes.

Once Ding Yun leaves.

False prosperity will naturally burst like a bubble.

But Ding Yun actually had no choice but to do this. The previous Zhou State was poor and weak. If he really laid a solid foundation and slowly moved from the most basic food and clothing to education, and then transitioned to the direction of industrialization.

I don’t know how many difficulties I encountered during the process.

First, solve the problem of food and clothing. Although the population of Zhou State is small, the land is also small. Even if all the land is planted with high-yielding grains, the number of people who can feed it is still quite limited. Moreover, the emergence of high-yielding grain varieties will inevitably arouse the covetousness of other surrounding countries, ranging from

Demanding, or more importantly, directly plundering, Zhou State itself had no ability to resist.

Taking into account the plundering of grains, even if there was no war in the end, it would have taken Zhou Guo at least three years to solve the country's food and clothing problem.

To solve the problem of food and clothing, and with the surplus labor force, theoretically speaking, industrialization can begin. However, industrialization is based on two foundations. One is to solve the problem of people's food and clothing, and there is sufficient surplus labor force;

It requires particularly top-notch intellectuals, but they must at least have primary school or junior high school education to support the smooth development of industrialization.

But the situation in the Zhou Kingdom is that except for the nobles.

Ordinary civilians are basically illiterate.

The total number of nobles is less than a thousand, and most of these literate nobles are also illiterate in science.

So between solving subsistence and saturation and industrialization.

Ding Yun must first complete the popularization of education.

At this time, ordinary people would not let their children go to school even if they had enough food and clothing. Firstly, there were no promotion channels for studying. After all, what is important now is family inheritance and noble blood. The nobles control all resources. Common people want to

Promotion is extremely difficult.

When the children are old, they might as well plant two acres of land.

What books are you studying?

Moreover, the cost of going to school after leaving work is not small. Ordinary people who just have enough food and clothing cannot afford this expense.

Therefore, if Ding Yun wants to popularize education, he can only take the road of free education, and maybe give some subsidies or something. This also involves the issue of money. The impoverished Zhou State will most likely not be able to afford the expenses.

.

Moreover, popularizing education essentially destroys the current aristocratic monopoly system. Not only the ministers and nobles in the Zhou Kingdom will oppose it, but I am afraid that other surrounding countries will not sit idly by and do nothing. These are big problems.

There is not enough force to support it.

The Zhou royal family can be overthrown in minutes.

The nobles could personally send King Zhou Jing and Ding Yun to the guillotine, and even hang them by pulling the rope with their own hands.

Externally it can be said that he died suddenly.

Later, we will follow the step-by-step process of industrial development, manufacturing products to sell, and building an army.

There is no way to talk about it.

When the country is weak and the people are poor, there are few people and few resources, and it is surrounded by powerful countries, it is simply impossible to develop it openly and step by step.

The population is large and the resources are sufficient. If you just keep going and make some sacrifices, you might be able to overtake in a corner.

But the population is small and the resources are few.

There is basically no possibility of turning around.

It is precisely because of these considerations that Ding Yun will simply use his golden fingers to make money first, and then use force, and put other foundations aside for the time being.

Now that there are sufficient funds and powerful military force, it is enough to frighten the world's princes and the country's nobles. It is not too late to improve the foundation, and it can even be smoother and faster.

Moreover, engaging in education at this time, when both force and wealth are at their peak, makes people all over the world envious, curious, and eager to possess them. This will undoubtedly attract more talents, and people all over the world are vying for them.

This is something that cannot be achieved by educating people when they are weak.

For example, a small, poor and weak country, let alone whether it can afford to open a large academy, even if it does open it, who will go there? Even if you invite people to come with a lot of benefits, there is no guarantee that anyone will come.

Ah, or even if it comes, it will definitely be poorer and weaker.

Or people who want to take advantage will come.

In the country of overlord, not only is it easy to open a school palace, but even if it sets a lot of conditions, there are still many people rushing to enter.

Now the Tianzi Academy founded by Ding Yun, although it has not taught a single student, no one dares to underestimate it. It can definitely recruit talents from all over the world. At this time, she is still very short of teachers to provide basic education and literacy. Even if she fails,

Those who failed to enter the Emperor's Academy.

Ding Yun is also confident that he will use the newly established library and education subsidies to keep them here and engage in enlightenment education.

By then, the educational development of the entire Luoyang, or the entire Zhou Kingdom, has not taken off directly. I am afraid that it will take less than a few years to surpass Jixia Academy and become the number one academy in the world. By then, it will be the cradle of hundreds of schools of thought.

It's not Jixia Academy, but her Emperor's Academy.

Ding Yun felt happy just thinking about it.
