Luo Zhixue continued: "Excellent students can be further promoted. After completing their studies, they will be given priority to serve in various ministries and yamen."
"Students in this school will receive salary, food, accommodation and other benefits based on their grade, and the specifications will be comparable to each department!"
"Each county government office has the responsibility of recommending students to enroll in the school, and it will be included in the education evaluation. Those who recommend more students will be promoted first based on their education merit."
After hearing Luo Zhixue's series of words, Guo Quanshu and others were stunned.
Is this recruiting students?
Why do you think the standards are higher than those of recruiting officials?
It’s not surprising that you can get money for studying. Among the scholars, the students with better grades can receive money and food from the government to supplement their living expenses.
But does reading give you grades?
More importantly, give titles to a bunch of brats? And he’s still starting from the seventh level?
How can I hear such nonsense!
Today's Baoxiang Army is no longer a grass-roots team, but a military and political group with more than 100,000 civilian, military and related personnel.
In fact, most of this huge group are low-level soldiers or clerks.
As for ordinary clerks, they usually only start from the ninth grade to the ninth grade.
In the Baoxiang Army system, the seventh rank is the rank where the leader of a town knows the town. When placed in the county government, it is also the title of the chief of each department.
This rank is already considered a middle-level official in the Baoxiang Army system.
Compared with grade, salary is nothing.
To be honest, Guo Quanshu couldn't understand why Luo Zhixue paid such a high salary.
Could it be that the general wanted to bribe those traditional scholars through treatment, especially the famous children and scholars?
Confused, Guo Quanshu asked: "In that case, does this student need to have merit to be admitted?"
Luo Zhixue glanced at him and knew that Guo Quanshu was thinking wrongly, but he hadn't elaborated yet. It was normal for Guo Quanshu to be wrongly thinking.
Immediately he explained a few more sentences: "The students in this science and engineering school specialize in arithmetic, geometry, mechanics and other physics subjects. After they are successful in their studies, they will be used by our Baoxiang army to build machinery, guns, and ammunition."
"Ordnance is the foundation of our hometown-protecting army's hegemony and must be highly valued."
As soon as these words came out, Guo Quanshu and the others put aside their doubts. It turned out that it was for ordnance matters.
But, they still think it's weird. If they are engaged in ordnance, aren't they just a group of craftsmen? They just need to pay the workers, and there is no need to pay back the grade, right?
And the salary is so high.
Luo Zhixue did not hesitate to speculate on the thoughts of his subordinates, but continued: "However, the students admitted must be truly smart and intelligent people."
"Well, besides, it can't be too big, but it can't be too small either. It must be able to take care of itself."
At the end, Luo Zhixue added: "I will teach them personally when the time comes!"
Luo Zhixue's operation, to put it bluntly, is to cultivate a group of technical talents.
If you want to obtain scientific and technological talents in this era, it is impossible to recruit them directly. Among the many people in the Baoxiang Army, only Yuan Gaofeng has read a lot of science books, and even Yuan Gaofeng actually only knows a little about many of them. He doesn’t understand things either.
If you want scientific and technological talents, you can only cultivate them yourself.
Moreover, Luo Zhixue must teach in person, and no one else can do it.
However, Luo Zhixue felt that even if he gave lectures directly in person, it would be difficult to achieve results, because even Luo Zhixue's own knowledge reserve was only at the level of ordinary people in later generations.
He only knows a general idea of most things, but if you ask him to explain it in detail, he actually can't tell you.
There are too many classifications of modern subjects, and people who are not engaged in this major actually know very limited things.
What's more, Luo Zhixue's time is limited. He is said to be teaching in person, but in fact it is impossible to really stay in the school every day and teach a bunch of kids. Most of the time, these students still need to study on their own.
Under such circumstances, the requirements for students are very high.
The reason why we should give the seventh grade treatment is to attract more people's attention, expand the scope of selection, and select a group of truly smart people.
Luo Zhixue wants a group of young geniuses, not ordinary people.
The treatment given to geniuses at the seventh level is not high and is completely acceptable.
Later, Luo Zhixue discussed the affairs of the school with Guo Quanshu and others, and then let them go out.
Returning to Xiangyang City this time, Luo Zhixue took advantage of his free time to finalize all educational affairs in the three major fields of military, political and scientific affairs at one go, so as to avoid delays after leading the army south.
After all, there are officers who understand new tactics, a large number of qualified political talents, and technical talents who can develop new weapons.
Talents in these three fields are in very short supply in the current Baoxiang Army system, especially in the science and technology system.
Generals and officers can barely make do with the current people, but scientific and technological talents cannot make do...

On the other side, Guo Quanshu was also thinking about it after coming out of the general's mansion.
Judging from the attitude of the General's Office, it is obvious that science and engineering schools are valued. Should I let my eldest nephew apply for this science and engineering school?
My eldest nephew is twelve years old this year. He has been smart and perceptive since he was a child. If times don't change much, he will have to take the county examination in two or three years.
But after Guo Quanshu turned into a traitor, the entire Guo family was also tied to the thief ship of the Baoxiang Army.
He, Guo Quanshu, is the Minister of Civil Affairs. His eldest brother also officially joined the rural protection army in the first half of this year and is now the county magistrate of Tang County.
Naturally, the next generation of the Guo family will not be able to take part in the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.
Today when the general talked about this science and engineering school, Guo Quanshu could feel Luo Zhixue's great importance to this science and engineering school from both the inside and outside of his words.
Even more important than the Government Affairs School.
Otherwise, how can we give the students who enter the school the right seventh grade treatment?
Well, I will write to my eldest brother later and ask my eldest nephew to come to Xiangyang to apply for this polytechnic school. If he can get in, maybe he will be able to surpass his father in a few years...
Guo Quanshu had this idea, and other people who learned the news also started to think about it, especially those who had children of school age at home, and they were wondering whether to let their children give it a try.
After all, he is a genuine seventh-grade one.
Those who did not have children of the right age at home were also wondering if the people around them they knew had suitable candidates. Especially after the magistrates of various counties knew the news, they began to inquire about any geniuses under their rule.
Because recommending students to enroll in science and engineering schools has become a political task, successfully recommending students under the rule to enroll in the school can be regarded as a contribution to education.
On the contrary, if you fail to recommend a student under your rule for admission, although there is no punishment on the surface, I am afraid that the general will be unhappy...
The general is unhappy, do you still expect to be promoted?
For a time, there was a wave of searching for geniuses in the area controlled by the Baoxiang Army, and it was still led by the government.
However, Luo Zhixue no longer participated in these subsequent affairs. Anyway, it takes time to collect geniuses. Luo Zhixue estimated that it would be good to gather dozens of students within two or three months.
During this period of time, Luo Zhixue was able to continue to improve the teaching materials he had written himself.
Since the Funiu Mountain period, Luo Zhixue has actually written down all the knowledge he can still remember.
This is because I'm afraid that after a long time, I really can't remember it.
Moreover, if you think about many knowledge points specifically, you may remember them for a while, but sometimes they just pop out of your mind.
"Swallowing the Starry Sky: Sign in to Become a God"
Therefore, Luo Zhixue usually writes down whatever he thinks of.
The recorded knowledge is also diverse and messy.
There is mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, and even theories such as computers that may not be used for hundreds of years.
Regardless of whether it is needed or not, Luo Zhixue will write it down first.
Up to now, the accumulated drafts of various records have been packed into several large boxes.
It's just that this knowledge is not systematic, and there is a lot of missing content.
After all, Luo Zhixue is not an encyclopedia, and it is impossible to memorize the knowledge of all subjects. What he can remember is more common sense.
However, even so, Luo Zhixue throwing out these things he recorded is enough to promote the rapid development of science and technology in this world.
Luo Zhixue specially recorded these in order to develop science and technology and then serve the struggle for hegemony.
In the past, the Baoxiang Army was too small and did not have the strength to support the Baoxiang Army in cultivating talents and conducting scientific research.
Therefore, Luo Zhixue only worked in a small way, directly instructing the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to improve ordnance.
But now, the Baoxiang Army is on the right track and has the foundation to support Luo Zhixue in cultivating scientific talents and developing advanced technology.
So in the past month, Luo Zhixue has also begun to sort out his manuscripts. On the one hand, he is sorting them into textbooks for each subject, from simple to advanced. On the other hand, he is also thinking about whether he will think twice about sorting out the manuscripts. Get something up.
When Luo Zhixue finishes the basic teaching materials, it will be time for the science and engineering school to start.
But this also makes Luo Zhixue even busier!
There are always a lot of things going on at this time, and the military affairs meeting and government affairs meeting every morning are impossible to get through.
Then every day we have to review numerous and complicated documents, hold various types of special work meetings, and meet with various officials.
And inspections of such unconventional activities have not yet been included.
In addition to these daily tasks, Luo Zhixue also has to sort out scientific and technical manuscripts. There is no time to stop this day and night.
Sometimes even at night, Luo Zhixue would burn the midnight oil and fight.
After being busy in Xiangyang for half a month, Luo Zhixue finally received good news from Lieutenant Colonel Huang Guangmao, commander of the 9th Mixed Brigade.
Huang Guangmao stated in the victory report that he had led his army to conquer Yunyang City and would continue to march into other counties in Yunyang Prefecture, such as Baihe County, Shangjin County, Fang County, Zhuxi County, etc., in order to completely control Yunyang Prefecture. .
After Luo Zhixue learned the news, he convened a meeting with generals such as the staff department to discuss the situation on the Western Front. Luo Zhixue finally decided to establish the West Route Army Headquarters, which would temporarily oversee the 9th Mixed Brigade and the 10th Mixed Brigade. It was planned to be composed of Yunyang Mansion, The 14th mixed brigade was reorganized from the local troops in Junzhou.
Huang Guangmao served as the commander of the West Route Army and was promoted to colonel. Major Weng Hongyuan, director of the Strategy Department of the General Staff Headquarters, was appointed as the chief of staff of the West Route Army and promoted to lieutenant colonel.
The responsibility of the Western Route Army is to guard the strategic security of the Western Front and ensure that after the main force of the Home Guard Army moves south, the Western Front will be worry-free.
At the same time, Luo Zhixue also allowed Huang Guangmao to launch part of the offensive appropriately based on the situation and at favorable times, while ensuring the security of the western front line of defense, to try to seize Hanzhong Prefecture areas such as Xunyang and Jinzhou in Shaanxi; Fengjie and other Kui areas in Sichuan State capital area.
But regardless of whether we continue to expand westward, everything should be based on the security of the western front, and there must be no wasteful war.
