The Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Chapter two hundred and sixty-four: the first act of opening up the world

The entire Tangzhou area is very small, not comparable to that of Europe.

But the relatively closed environment has become another protective umbrella for the Tang people.

The Tang people, with a population of just over 300,000, were like a drop of water in the ocean on the European continent with a population of over 10 million. In an instant, they were completely assimilated.

With this in mind, Jiang Ning decided to base his recuperation on an isolated overseas island.

While cleaning up the island's indigenous population, Jiang Ning also accidentally opened up the magical world.

Sardinia in the Middle Ages had a very small population.

Not only the Muggle population, but also the number of wizards in the magical world is only a few dozen. This is related to the geographical factors of the island and the scarcity of resources.

After all, the resources that are abundant, whether they are magical creatures, herbs, plants, minerals, etc., are all located on a vaster continent.

Although the islands will also produce some rare resources, they are only a few after all.

Regarding this point, after Jiang Ning set foot in Sardinia, he spent some time searching the entire island. Basically, there were no scarce resources, but during the search process, Jiang Ning discovered a lot of caves.

After analysis, most of the caves are natural caves, but many are caused by man-made factors.

Although he really wanted to explore these underground caves, he was delayed due to time constraints and some trivial matters. As time went by, Jiang Ning forgot about it.

Although he remembered it this time, Jiang Ning had no time to explore.

All these matters, big and small, are not on the right track yet. It can be done without anyone, but it can't be done without him.

If he had not cared about the life and death of these Tang people, he would not have been burdened with this pile of burdens. Now that he has taken care of it, he can only spend more time and take care of it to the end.

At the very least, let some things have a prototype. Well, a prototype that can be continuously upgraded based on the basics.

Jiang Ning racks his brains on this every day!

It consumes too many brain cells and a lot of energy is allocated to it.

However, among the more than 300,000 Tang people and more than 10,000 Jews, there were not many talented and learned people at all. Even if there were, they only knew a few words, and they were completely new to handling government affairs.

Therefore, many times, he had to detail everything, and finally understood why Wu Hou died.

“Universal basic education?”

Although the parchment she held in her hand was light and thin, Elizabeth felt as if she was holding a thousand kilograms of weight.

Jiang Ning took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "It's just the simplest teaching of literacy, arithmetic, morality and farming and livestock raising!"

"Do you know what kind of shock this news will cause if it spreads to Europe?" Elizabeth was so excited that her fair cheeks even turned red with excitement.

"All Europe will be crazy and unbelievable! And the common people will envy us and be jealous of us."

"This is an era when knowledge is monopolized by aristocrats." Jiang Ning said the truth. This was the case in Europe and even most of the world during this period. It was the same in China, but the monopoly of aristocratic families was

It has been broken, so that people from poor families can have the opportunity to read and read and enter the officialdom, but most people still do not have the opportunity to obtain education.

It's not that I didn't want to promote it, but because of the productivity at that time, the cost was too high! It was not just pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but also included many aspects. Before scholars had no fame, they could not be exempted from taxes, or get tax exemptions, or get land awarded by the government.

(I don’t know if it’s correct. I haven’t found any relevant information.) And a family has about 5 people. Without a young and middle-aged labor force, it is equivalent to raising a person who eats and drinks for free and doesn’t know what his future is.

It can be seen from this that the consumption of a set of utensils for learning to write is huge. And it is a long-term supply! For people whose family background is not well-off, it is a bottomless hole, and during this period you still have to pray to God.

God and God, please bless your family with good harvests every year and no disease or disaster. Once a serious illness occurs, the family will be doomed.

It can be seen from this that when Jiang Ning proposed universal education in this dark Middle Ages, how much turmoil it would cause among the people! What kind of waves would it even cause in the entire European continent?

This move is enough to be called the first of its kind in the world. Universal education is universal. Although Jiang Ning has a lot of tricks, problems such as population and other constraints are easy in his eyes. But in the eyes of others, it is quite shocking!

After all, since the birth of civilization, society has been born, and classes have also been born. Resources are limited, and the population is simply infinite. So, among these, who controls the vital means of production, who controls

If you gain resources, you will correspondingly become a member of the uppermost layer of the pyramid class.

No matter ancient or modern, no matter Chinese or foreign, this is the best!

Especially in the dark Middle Ages, we were still far away from the glorious period called the Renaissance. The whole of Europe was shrouded in darkness, and everyone was stupid.

Especially the lower-class civilians and serfs are extremely stupid, and their lives are spent in confusion.

But suddenly, the land of Europe was shrouded in thick dark clouds! Suddenly, the Mediterranean island country across the sea took the lead in setting off a vigorous public intelligence movement and an educational revolution!

For a stagnant, dark and gloomy Europe, it is as dazzling as a beacon.

Only Jiang Ning dares to ignore these factors, and only Jiang Ning dares to ignore these petty profits that he disdains. However, for Europe and the entire Mediterranean region, Jiang Ning's epoch-making and super-era move can be said to be the beginning of civilization since the birth of mankind.

For the first time since then, someone has launched a campaign to popularize education for all.

Universal education, as the name suggests, means universal education for all people. All people are literate and all people can read and write.

Moreover, during this period, the monarchs of various European countries hid relevant taboo knowledge and contents that were not allowed to be understood and mastered by the people. Jiangning did not prohibit the people from learning, but rather generously let go of this part of the knowledge.

Moreover, they were told to study and encouraged to carry out innovative behaviors based on the old knowledge system. The monarchs of various European countries should not... It should be said that since ancient times, the government has been educating the people, and even educating the people.

Things that are not announced. Unlike other countries’ education systems that continue to stupefy the people, what Jiangning is doing is truly opening up the minds of the people!

Only when the people's wisdom is broadened, their horizons will be broadened, and their ambitions will be broadened.

Let me ask, when a few hundred years later, the total population of the Tang people will be very large, even to the point of being somewhat surplus. Will the people of the Tang Dynasty still live in a small corner with peace of mind?

At that time, everyone had knowledge, so the elite army trained was better than that of other countries. Because they had knowledge, they could understand the meaning of every word and understand every command.

When such a group of armies with advanced knowledge and open-minded people are going around to expand territories, who in the surrounding countries who are still in a state of ignorance can be this group of soldiers with advanced knowledge and open-minded people?

Military rival?

As for whether these Tang people will cause rebellion among their descendants in the future, that is not something Jiang Ning needs to consider.

He is different from monarchs in the traditional sense. His long years are equivalent to the development history of an independent civilization! Therefore, this kind of dynasty change in the traditional sense is not taken into consideration by Jiang Ning.

Subsequently, Jiang Ning gathered craftsmen and built the first fully equipped college on a small hill in the city. It was specially used to cultivate relevant and qualified talents from all walks of life!

After that, brand new colleges were built in all cities across the country. They were specifically divided according to later generations, primary school, junior high school, and high school. According to the current social level, this is completely enough. It is even ahead of its time.

However, the books and other knowledge compiled by Jiang Ning were within the tolerance of this era, and were much more advanced than Europe at the same time. However, compared with China at the same time, they were obviously somewhat behind.

Even so, this kind of knowledge is enough to set off a revolution in Europe, which is generally backward! It should be said that it lays a suitable hotbed for the possible birth of a revolution.

However, revolution is unlikely!

Today's Europe is an era of co-rule by feudal lords and monarchs. Common people cannot afford to launch a revolutionary movement that subverts the dynastic structure, nor do they have the financial resources and related knowledge!
