"Increase the production of parachutes!" Meng Xiang instructed.

DuPont gave a buffer of a year, and within a year they might not be able to mass-produce nylon, at least not in the pantyhose to compete with the pioneers.

Can you catch the huge profits at this time?

In addition, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places fell into the hands of devils, and the profits of raw silk were plundered by devils. At the same time, it is also the center of China's cotton textile industry. You must know that I have replaced Britain in 34 years to become the world's largest cotton textile export, cotton products and raw silk and other silk products are the main pillars of this export.

Silk products are occupied by devils in the mainstream of the world's exports, which makes Meng Xiang very unhappy.

Huaxia is the hometown of silk, the beautiful silk products have won the reputation of the country of silk, the era of silk equivalent to gold, the Chinese word Huaxia shows the glory of the past, but now it is to let me occupy the mainstream market of raw silk. Although Meng Xiang has nylon in his hands, and increasing the production of nylon can suppress the export of raw silk from devils, Meng Xiang hopes that the Chinese silk industry can regain its glory in the past.

Zhoucun and other places have a good foundation for silkworm raising, and silk was once famous throughout the country, although it is not as good as Jiangnan, but it is an important silk town in the north.

At this time, affected by the war, the silk industry declined somewhat, and the development of silkworms did not mean that the development could develop rapidly.

"Let's set up a silk school in Zhoucun first, and start the research on raw silk, sericulture, silk weaving, etc." Shandong used to have silkworm schools or set up forty or fifty silkworm schools, after the impact of the war, some of them were difficult to maintain, so Meng Xiang proposed to support a special silk vocational school.

Recently, with the stability in the Special Economic Zone and the gathering of various talents in the Special Economic Zone, it is no longer possible to meet the needs of these talents with a single Jixia Academy. The research-oriented school of Jixia School Palace also seems to be a little out of touch with the needs of society, so all kinds of applications for vocational schools that need to be built are placed on Meng Xiang's desk. Not long ago, Meng Xiang had just established the second mechanical technician school, and also built the first chemical vocational school, the first metallurgical vocational school and the first transportation vocational school.

Unlike the basic research of the Kinoshita Academy, these schools place more emphasis on practical application.

Meng Xiang also has a positive opinion on this. Huaxia needs not only scientists and engineers, but also high-level technicians. The importance that the Germans attach to vocational schools has led to a large number of excellent senior technicians, and it is their hard work that has created the excellent quality of German goods that are famous all over the world.

At this time, Meng Xiang also had some spare money in his pocket. The monthly arms deal allows you to invest the extra money in education after paying the military salary.

By this time, five normal schools had been integrated in the Special Administrative Region. Jinan, Qidu, Weifang, Tai'an and the newly integrated Qufu each have one. A large number of enthusiastic young people receive short-term training for three months to six months, and then support the local government to popularize six-year compulsory education.

With money, Meng Xiang also dared to boast of six years of compulsory education. Three years of elementary school, three years of high school, top students enter middle school for free. This is the slogan shouted by the education of the Special Administrative Region. With an investment of nearly 10 million a year, Meng Xiang also dares to bear it.

The weather is warmer, and the fortress elementary schools in various places have also begun to dress up and paint their own white, and it is no longer the same gray and yellow. When Meng Xiang heard that the hundredth primary school had been built, he directly led everyone to visit the newly built fortress primary school near Qidu.

"This, you can also try to annotate it in pinyin!" Meng Xiang was very interested in the students' textbooks at this time, and when he occasionally flipped through them, he found that the textbooks were not uniform, and the Chinese characters in the textbooks were all phonetic symbols. He doesn't understand phonetic symbols at all. However, as a communication in later generations, the pinyin of the letters is obviously more convenient than the phonetic symbols.

"It turns out that the general also agrees with the alphabet pinyin, so does the general agree with the Guoluo faction or the Beila faction?" He Siyuan, who accompanied Meng Xiang to visit the primary school in Qidu, suddenly asked.

Meng Xiang naturally didn't know that he was talking about the dispute between the two major pinyin schools at this time.

In addition to phonetic symbols, many people also saw the convenience of using the Latin alphabet, so they proposed the method of pinyin annotation.

The most famous of these is Zhao Yuanren's Chinese Romaji and Latinized new scripts. One of them is known as the Kokura faction and the other is known as the Beila faction. This North was supported by Soviet Russia in the north.

Meng Xiang didn't know anything about this.

He smiled slightly: "No matter what faction it is, it is all for students to quickly master Chinese characters." It can't be confined to factionalism. I also have a plan here, let's see if it's okay! ”

Years of exam-oriented education have finally played a role, and Meng Xiang's rote memorization in elementary school is particularly memorable in the lessons of the punishment station. Later, even if I used a computer, I didn't have to save five strokes of spelling and typing.

Although the traditional Chinese characters that Meng Xiang is practicing are still a little out of his hands, those pinyin are just coming at hand.

Asked for a few blank pieces of paper, Meng Xiang quickly listed the detailed initials, finals, tones, and some irregular changes that he couldn't remember completely, and carefully explained and discussed them to the surrounding Tang Yaoshi, Zhou Bai, He Siyuan, Li Shuchun and others.

"The general seems to approve of the Beila faction a little more, so the general also approves of their pinyinization of Chinese characters? I think that if this pinyin scheme is used in the pinyin scheme of Chinese characters, the frequency of repetition is too much. He Siyuan nodded and asked again.

"Chinese characters are Chinese characters, the ancestors have been handed down for thousands of years, and the Chinese civilization relies on Chinese characters to continue to pass on, how can it be changed to those pinyin with only monotonous syllables?" Meng Xiang said directly, this issue has been discussed a lot in later generations. He was so proud of the brilliance of Chinese characters, how could he wear a Western hat again?

"Words are the cornerstone of a civilization, and if even words are changed, then this civilization is not far from being cut off." Meng Xiang lamented, "Pinyin can only be a convenient annotation, not a fundamental. The pictographic characteristics of Chinese characters can transcend geographical boundaries and unite people from different parts of the world under the same civilization. ”

"So, it's a bit inappropriate to simplify the word?" Zhou Bai next to him interjected.

"No! It is also not appropriate to forcibly implement simplified words, and they can only slowly change by themselves with the development of society! Meng Xiang directly denied.

Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places in another time and space are also using traditional Chinese characters, and there are not many illiterates. The laws of pictograms, morphophonics, and ideologies have made each traditional character have its origin to be traced. A manual simplification of a simplified word may immediately miss the root of the word.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the inheritance of civilization.

The current traditional Chinese characters have been handed down from the Qin and Han dynasties, and a large number of written records have been handed down, recording the long history of Chinese civilization. But as soon as it was changed to simplified Chinese, the vast majority of people immediately did not recognize it. After all, the guessed text is not the original meaning, and it is likely that there is a lot of ambiguity. The inheritance of the previous culture by the people of later generations was suddenly cut off, and they could only leave something original through word of mouth.

There are only a few experts who can find out the secrets behind those words. Most people want to understand things that can only be sorted out by translating from traditional Chinese characters. Anyone who knows the history of China knows that once any text is sorted out, it is definitely not the original taste.

This method is the most convenient way to clear the legacy of the past life, but after the death of those old people with traditional Chinese characters for decades, how many people can still have the patience to rummage through the pile of old papers?

At this time, Meng enjoyed the support of the base's golden finger, and it was not only the land that was restored, but the cultivation of the great power mentality first came from the heritage of his own unique civilization. The fragrance of Chinese civilization is far from being covered by the taste of braids and slaves in modern times.

So he directly rejected the idea of simplifying characters, not to mention the pinyin of those Chinese characters.

He Siyuan nodded, picked up the discussion and revised pinyin plan and read it again, and said with a smile: "This plan is feasible!" This time, there is another Meng pinyin method! ”

Meng Xiang couldn't help but be embarrassed, the psychological quality of the plagiarist still needs to be cheeky to cover up before he can perform in place.

"Where, where! This is also inspired by the predecessors. Without the quest of those pioneers, it is so easy for future generations to surpass. ”

"That's called the pioneer pinyin method, it's easy to remember and it's good to hear!" Li Shuchun said with a smile, the vanguard army has been rich recently, and the railway to Laiwu he planned is also ready to start.

With this simple and easy plan, coupled with the vigorous promotion of the vanguard army after Meng Xiang's nod, this pioneer pinyin scheme was soon tried out in the Special Administrative Region.

New textbooks are also being compiled.

Some of the old-fashioned textbooks even put forward the slogan of supporting Lao Chiang's party-state, which made Meng Xiang explain his disagreement with the central government to the children who had studied these tutorials.

In addition, the teaching materials are not uniform, after the Spring Festival started, due to the shortage of funds and time, and the increase in the number of children enrolled in school, all the teaching materials collected from various places were used. At this time, we are about to enter the next school year, and the scale of compulsory education is getting bigger and bigger with the continuous development and continuous publicity. The next school year will be regarded as the year when the six-year compulsory education will be fully universalized.

With this half-year of thorough preparation, the vanguard army itself has built three large printing houses, which, with the help of the German printing machines, are much larger than other printing houses in the Special Zone.

Recently, Meng Xiang plans to build a new paper mill near Weishan Lake with the help of abundant reed resources. Now there is no need to consider the problem of paper polluting the environment, and more than a dozen small paper mills have been integrated in the special zone, forming three large joint-stock companies, and the vanguard army has injected capital into them, and the same only dividends and financial supervision have been carried out, and they have not participated in specific management. But with the support of the vanguard, it still directly squeezed aside other small paper mills that produced reading power. In the absence of the pension and retirement hierarchy, large enterprises are often more cost-effective than small enterprises.

With paper and printing equipment, it is much more convenient to print a large number of newspapers and leaflets. For the teaching materials for the next school year, there is also the most fundamental guarantee.

"Don't worry, we won't delay!" Luo Dongcheng smiled as he sent out the staff of the Special Administrative Zone Management Committee. After this public tender for the printing and procurement of textbooks, his printing house was the only small printing house that won the bid outside of the three large printing houses, relying on its good reputation over the years. This made him delighted.

It's very reassuring to deal with the Vanguard, although they are very strict about quality, but they never default on money. Although the cheque is paid by Taiping Bank, cash can be withdrawn at any time, and the recent rise in the price of copper from the outside world has made the big copper round more popular.

"You can rest assured of our quality, Ta Kung Pao's local newspapers are printed in our factory." Xu Houzhong, the owner of the five printing houses that won the bid, also packed tickets with a smile on his face to the staff of the special committee.

With the successive victories of the Vanguard, all major newspapers in the country have set up offices in the Special Administrative Region.

Naturally, those who have been bombarded with information by later generations will not let go of the propaganda of newspapers and other media. In this era, the main channels through which ordinary people can obtain accurate official information are newspapers and radio. Newspapers have a greater impact on the literate. And the literate are precisely the leaders of all kinds of ideas in this era.

Although the vanguard army has developed in a low-key manner, the importance of newspapers has not been interrupted. Through continuous acquisitions and controls, Meng Xiang already has more than 50 newspapers on hand, and has been consolidating recently, intending to integrate three large newspapers. Of course, the small newspaper was not going to be discarded, and seven or eight were still kept. Just like the Internet vest of later generations, some things that are not suitable for saying are more appropriate to shout out through small newspapers.

At this time, Meng Xiang was planning to expand the publicity for the next action, but found that he did not have a powerful gunman.

During the Republican period, newspapers were the most free, and their content developed the most rapidly. Office space and equipment are also easy to solve, but the gunman has to consider one or two. Because the literati at this time were very stance. Ordinary newspapers, without the support of celebrities, are hardly convincing.

Although the vanguard army also has a record in hand, in the face of the low-key handling that the Central Army can handle, the voice of its own shouting needs to be proved by convincing people. A copy of the "Pioneer," which had just made a name for itself in the country, was not enough to counter the surging tide on the propaganda front.

There are more than 50 newspapers on hand, and there are many literati, but there are not many who can have super weight. They also need time to boost their fame.

"There's a candidate, it's good, it's just that it's hard to say what the control of the newspaper is." Pharmacist Tang groaned.

"Who?"

"Zou Taofen! Not long after he was released from prison, he had a good reputation, and at this time he was still a national senator. However, at this time, it was constrained by the central government. Just according to this person's surname, it may not be advertised according to our intentions! He asked to keep the newspaper readable. ”
