Chapter 2580 - 2579: Good News
The talent reserve of Ling Corporation is indeed considerable, but it is clearly still far from enough.
Just the captured spaceships alone require a large number of personnel to operate.
Initially, Ling Feng didn’t take it too seriously, but as the scope of universe development expands, the issue of talent cultivation must be put on the agenda.
On his side, the social structure has already taken shape, with everyone performing their duties, yet the vast demand for manpower is not easily met, so his focus turned to the side of the Li Dynasty.
He quickly had a line of thought in his mind and formulated an idea to establish schools and develop education.
After discussing this idea with Li Chunxi, she immediately applauded and wholeheartedly agreed.
Thus, after marking several large mining locations in Australia, Ling Feng returned to the Capital City with her and Xiangxue, and then shared his idea with Li Huang.
Li Huang certainly understands the importance of talent, and after listening, he nodded: "Ling Feng, your idea is also for the benefit of my Li Dynasty’s populace. I will wholeheartedly support you. I now order new-style schools to be established nationwide!"
"The new schools should not be too scattered; rural areas can be exempt. Establish them centered around large towns to save costs and alleviate the demand for teachers on my side. Additionally, establishing more advanced colleges in the provinces should meet the demand."
Ling Feng spoke a sentence, then continued to elaborate on his idea in his mind: "In my view, the new schools should enroll children aged six, initially teaching them mathematics for a year. Then, based on talent, they can be divided into classes to specialize in a part of the foundational sciences. Those with ordinary aptitude can learn humanities and social sciences. As for languages, once the children are older, those interested can learn them!"
What he was describing was mostly not understood by Li Huang and Li Chunxi as they had never encountered such before, so whatever Ling Feng said, was taken as such.
The emperor’s decree was issued, and naturally, the local authorities dared not disobey. Thus, actions to build schools began nationwide, with a number exceeding five hundred!
This number is actually not much for the vast Li Dynasty, considering the population reaches over five hundred million.
Therefore, each school must accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people, requiring substantial resources and funds to complete.
Li Huang’s instructions were not for the regional authorities to fund the construction themselves but provided them with ample funds, while strictly ordering every copper coin to be spent on the schools.
The news spread throughout the Li Dynasty, and people realized that a revolution was about to start.
Ling Feng, while arranging mining affairs, had Gu Li establish the Ling Educational Group.
The existence of this group company was primarily to provide teachers and school management personnel for the Li Dynasty’s side.
According to the requirement of eighty teachers and twenty managers per school, the talent demand exceeds fifty thousand.
Now Ling Feng only needs to specify his demand, and others naturally will elaborate on the details. Gu Li doesn’t have to worry much; the think tank within the group has already perfected the plan.
Soon after, news of large-scale recruitment by Ling Educational Group spread within Huaxia.
Unlike previous recruitments, this time Ling Educational Group only wants Huaxia people, not foreigners, regardless of how fluent they are in Mandarin.
From recruitment to assessments, and conducting character scrutiny, to training and curriculum planning, all of these require considerable time, taking at least two to three months to complete.
Similarly, school construction is not just about putting up buildings; the hardwares need time to perfect, such as electricity, water and heating supply, and the installation of electronic teaching aids, etc.
Due to Ling Feng’s idea, countless people in two worlds started bustling for the realization of this idea, progressing at an incredible pace.
Meanwhile, Ling Feng led a large batch of machinery to the parallel universe’s Australia to mine resources.
The space-time vortex located in Shiliu Village is no longer a secret.
The Shiliu Village Development Group built a massive structure in the mountains to surround the area and appointed specialized personnel to guard, ensuring the prevention of any unexpected situation.
Australia’s mineral resources are exceptionally rich, even with Ling Feng using the most advanced equipment for excavation, it would take decades to exhaust them.
This unclaimed land has become his private property.
This feeling is quite unique, where no one in this world has the strength to compete against him. He can take good things without restraint, which is immensely enjoyable.
As mining commences, Ling Feng is also pondering whether it’s too wasteful to merely extract resources from this vast continent.
But upon further thought, immigration is a troublesome matter. Although the area is undoubtedly vast, it’s extremely barren, with almost no useful value beyond minerals.
The only useful aspect is its long coastline, where developing marine products can have some value.
Thus Ling Feng had a new idea to build piers, set up shipyards, and establish cities!
Although this place is far from Huaxia, shipping isn’t an issue; future airport construction and air transport are also feasible.
In this way, a large amount of material can flow into the Li Dynasty, contributing to its development.
Ling Feng is someone who acts on his thoughts promptly, so he soon instructed Gu Li to start preparations for the construction of piers and related matters.
A unique development model of Ling Corporation began to branch out on the Earth of this parallel universe.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
On this day, after inspecting the new power station construction project, Ling Feng returned to the Imperial Palace in the Capital City and went to Li Chunxi’s bedroom.
This girl has been a bit reclusive recently. Initially, she found everything novel with Ling Feng busy with various matters, but she later lost interest and stayed home watching movies.
Seeing Ling Feng return, Li Chunxi got up, threw herself into his arms, and began to act coy.
Ling Feng very much enjoyed this feeling, holding her while laughing, "You sit all day without exercising, and eat so many snacks, aren’t you afraid of getting fat?"
"Of course not, I can keep my body in check, right? Do I look fat to you?" Li Chunxi blinked her eyes with a look of innocence.
Ling Feng held her and laughed, "You’re indeed not fat, just the same as before!"
Afterwards, he noticed a pile of snacks on her table, most of them sour, which made Ling Feng pause for a moment.
Seeing his gaze, Li Chunxi chuckled, "I don’t know why, but lately I just crave sour foods, the more sour the better!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng’s heart suddenly accelerated considerably, then he held her wrist, checking her pulse.
Indeed, just as he thought, Li Chunxi is pregnant!
