Yang Yichuan's original plan was to say this musket. Since Yang Tianci asked in advance, he must answer truthfully. "The musket camp is just a trial. In my opinion, muskets will definitely exert great power in the war. Even when every soldier is equipped with muskets, it is time to take down the grassland."

"Oh, is this musket as good as you said? I remember you showed it last year, and the results were very average."

"Brother, this musket has been improved and has been greatly improved. Moreover, the musket is still being improved, and the power it can exert will be even greater in the future."

"Well, you can't just say this, so I have already sent back a thousand people from the 5,000 musket camp, and I guess it's almost time to arrive in the capital. At that time, let the people from the musket camp compete with the Imperial Guard's Archery Battalion, what do you think?"

"Back to my father, I think the musket camp will win."

"Okay, if the performance of the musket is really as General He and General Lin said, it should indeed be mass-produced, this production technology should be produced."

"Father, don't worry, I will never hide my own interests. I even brought back the two craftsmen who have studied the most profoundly in the Firearms Bureau. According to their research progress, it is estimated that next summer, you may be able to make continuous muskets, and the power of muskets will be even greater."

"Well, that's great. The musket matter is decided for the time being. After the people from Dingsha Army Musket Battalion come back, after the contest, and discuss with the court officials, then make a decision."

The current situation has completely become Yang Yichuan's talk about Xihecheng, and Yang Tianci and other ministers were listening. In fact, Yang Tianci had some understanding of these things and had a general plan, but other court officials were a little confused, just like listening to the double act between Yang Yichuan and Yang Tianci.

"Well, let's continue talking about Nishiwa Castle."

"When talking about agricultural commerce and military affairs, the next step is education. This year, papermaking was improved in Xihe City, and the paper produced was cheaper and more useful. In addition, printing technology was also improved, printing was more convenient and cost-effective."

"With the support of these two technologies, Lord Li and I took the opportunity to establish a school school in Xihe City, build a library for all people to enter and exit, recruit teachers, and promote compulsory education. We accept children of appropriate age to enter the school school and study. We have been recognized by the people. Most parents in Xihe City register their children, want to learn and receive education."

"Is compulsory education in Xihecheng promoted and started?"

"When I go back to my father, I have established many schools and schools, and the promotion work is now limited to Xihe City. However, after solving other problems in Xihe Prefecture next year, I plan to promote compulsory education in other cities. It is expected that the promotion of compulsory education in Xihe Prefecture will be completed next year and the year after."

"Well, it's good, and it's steady. However, it costs money to promote compulsory education, build schools, and find teachers. Compulsory education is a priority for students not to pay for it, so the teacher's salary is also a considerable amount of money?"

"When I returned to my father, the families in Xihe City were very supportive of compulsory education. When building the school, they donated money and land, and were generous and righteous."

"The local wealthy businessmen in Xihecheng have done some good things that benefit the country and the people, which is worthy of praise."

"Yes, Father."

"By the way, have you brought back this new papermaking technology and printing technology? If possible, next year, you can try to promote compulsory education in Beijing."

"When I go back to my father, I must have brought all the skills back. However, there are still some problems with Xihecheng and Xihezhou, and I hope my father will help."

"Well, are there any problems with compulsory education?"

"Yes, the father, Xihecheng and Xihezhou are located in a remote area, and the proportion of scholars is very small. Therefore, I still hope that the father will promote and inspire people with ambition, and become teachers for the sake of the country, education, and the people, and come to Xihezhou to educate children. With the publicity and encouragement of the court, there will definitely be many scholars who are willing to do it."

"This is also a solution. I will help with publicity, which can be regarded as contributing to the compulsory education in Xihecheng."

"Thank you, my father."

"Is there anything else that concerns the people in Xihecheng?"

"When I go back to my father, there are a few more things. The first thing is that cement roads are laid in Xihe City, which widened the roads, and of course some compensation is provided to the people affected by this. In addition, the streets are divided into roadways and sidewalks, street lights are installed on the green belts of roadways and sidewalks, and garbage cans are installed, and trees are planned to be planted next year, as well as some flowers and plants."

"In addition, there are cement roads between cities and cities. They have connected to each city, but the transportation road network has not yet been formed, so there are still some cement roads that need to be built next year. After the roads in Xihe City are built, I plan to directly build cement roads in Xihezhou and Changzhou."

"Or temporarily give up the construction of cement roads, prepare for the construction of railway tracks, and prepare for research on railway trains."

"When it comes to rail cars, I will mention this one by the way. Rail trains are very special vehicles, and rails are also very special roads. Once completed, you can take a rail train from Xihezhou to Changzhou in one day, and a rail train can take more than 2,000 people. If you transport goods, you can also transport a large amount of supplies at one time, and the speed is very fast."

"Railway, why haven't I heard you say?"

"Father, this rail car is a bit difficult, it is even more difficult to improve this rail car. It's like the one after the improvement is going to come again. Moreover, the rail car needs special rails, and it's also very troublesome to set up rails. So the plan for this rail car will take at least three years to implement. Now I'm just looking forward to it."

"It will take three years, so you should do the things in front of you first. This cement road and street light work are very good. You can also send someone to contact the local government in the cement road in Changzhou, and the local government will try its best to cooperate with you."

"Yes, Father. Xihecheng's development is probably just like that, and there are some trivial things, so I won't talk about it."

"Well, that's it. It can be seen that Yichuan has made considerable contributions to the development of Xihecheng in Xihecheng. Of course, it is also due to Lord Li's contribution. Lord Li, do you have anything else to add?"

"When you go back to Your Majesty, there are some small things. Your Highness’s skills in raising pigs, sheep and cattle in Xihe City have been taught to local farmers, as well as orchard planting techniques, and so on. They have taught them to the people without hesitation. Planting and breeding have also increased yields. Your Highness also encourages business and develops night markets, so that many poor households can make a living to subsidize their families. Your Highness also built the Xihe Theater, which has story dramas and news reports every day, allowing the people to learn more about policies, understand the major events happening around them, and also gives the people a better way to relax and entertain."

"Your Highness held many activities during the Mid-Autumn Festival, as well as the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, and enjoyed the people."
