That's not how it works! Although the first batch of teachers were all scholars who had no fame and could not get along, I summoned them. But they've all been carefully selected by me!

But what can I say, His Majesty has personally explained. Then I can only let the students of the academy waste another year, first let these seven or eight-year-old children study their own textbooks for a year, first teach those new readers, and then see if those new arrivals can catch up with the progress of the students!

"Alas! The first students of the academy were pitiful, and they had wasted a long time teaching their future teachers...... This is simply a drag on the development of the college! I said helplessly.

But what can I do! I can't snatch people back from the court.

Fortunately, I have already trained a group of teachers and researchers, so I still have some experience. I guess I should be able to avoid a lot of detours this time. And the most gratifying thing for me is the researchers who were taken away, they left a precious record when they were researching! If these records and notes are handed over to newcomers, at least they will avoid a lot of detours. Is that the old saying going to be? Oh yes! It is "the descendants always stand on the shoulders of the predecessors and look into the distance, so that mankind can progress!" ”

This is true for the Academy!

It's a pity that I think about it, but it's good.

These scholars sent by the imperial court are all meritorious people, and some of them have obtained the status of 'alternate official positions'. That is to say, these people are already civil officials, but they are all the lowest positions.

Precisely because of this. I found that these people had been sent by the imperial court, but they did not want to learn what seemed to them a 'miscellaneous study of strange and obscene techniques'. So~ these people can't learn at all! Not to mention asking eight or nine-year-olds for advice!

And these people gathered in the academy, but they respected the people of those sects, and often went to the small courtyards of these sects to trouble them, and also used the banner of 'sitting and talking about the Tao' to steal the knowledge of the other party~ I was originally afraid that these people would be 'brainwashed' by the people of the sect to become the fresh blood of the sect. As a result, I was worried and let the mandarin duck go to secretly observe, only to learn that these people didn't even look down on the people of the ten sects. I don't want to see these newcomers at all.

When they found out that I~ that is, the dean of the academy with a knighthood, came back, these people came cheekily and asked me to recommend them to the officialdom......

I can kind of understand these famous people. They are not in the mood to study again. In their eyes, only going to officialdom to be an official is the only way out......

I had no choice but to forcibly blast these people out of the academy. We can't let these people harm the students in the academy! These students of mine are the first batch of talents who will promote the scientific and technological progress of this era in the future!

"Hmmm! I can't let the court recommend people, and it looks like I have to rely on myself to recruit talents! I shook my head helplessly.

The main reason is that I think of the 'unsuccessful' readers who recruited the first batch of teachers at that time, but there are many of them who are 'arrogant' and have been hit by the news of the disappointment, but they are more likely to indulge in new knowledge, even if it is the 'miscellaneous' knowledge that the original readers can't look at......

So I once again followed the example of recruiting people in the early days, and went to various places to openly recruit such people, still using high salaries as a selling point......

After gathering 200 people, I realized that it was probably due to the prosperity of the commercial street and the free open-air movies that were shown in Chang'an City every month. The process of finding people this time was extremely smooth, and there were many craftsmen and people who specialized in miscellaneous sciences that were despised by the ancients to apply for the job...... So the people recruited this time are better than the first batch. Many people even have knowledge of mathematics and some geometry!

For this reason, I deliberately recalled Dacao, who was busy in the commercial street, to the college, and she and I worked together to start a rapid training of these newcomers, plus the handwriting and records of the first batch of teachers and researchers. So it didn't take long for these newcomers to get back on the right path, not only did some of them start to take students to teach on their own, but some of them also started to devote themselves to the research work in the laboratory with rapid progress...... Especially after they experimented with the handwriting of their predecessors and copied the results of the first researchers. These people can open their minds even faster than the previous batch!

Therefore, the research work on the imitation of 'cement' that I have always hoped for will now be left to these newcomers to start anew......

I wasted months at the academy for this. Fortunately, these new recruits have made the work of the teaching and research rooms of the college go on and off the ground. To this end, I am going to gather another batch of new students to be the second class of students of the college.

In this way, the new students can be assigned the teaching tasks to the new teachers, and the first batch of students can help with the teaching and auditing...... It's a win-win-win-

With this in mind, after the teachers slowly got on the right track, I personally went to Chang'an City and Luoyang City to recruit students...... It's not that I don't want to recruit people from other places. After all, the curriculum taught in my college is not something that readers in this era would study. It's just a 'miscellaneous study' that is despised by readers. Although I know that this is the real knowledge, the knowledge that can promote the progress of the times. It is knowledge from the generations after a thousand years. But learning these things can't be like other scholars to gain fame.

The people in Chang'an City and Luoyang City have always been influenced by the movies I played, as well as the various novelties on the commercial streets. In particular, the people in these two places think that I am a 'disciple of the immortals' who have come to teach the knowledge of the immortal family to mortals. Therefore, even if I studied miscellaneous studies, the reputation of the college and me as the dean in these two cities is still very good. So it's easy to recruit enough students. It doesn't bother to explain this knowledge.

It also enrolls a hundred seven-year-olds, both male and female. These children will be the second batch of fresh blood of the college. And when recruiting students, I really recruited a lot of good seedlings.

In fact, there is also a branch of the academy, that is, the children of the craftsmen I have gathered. Unfortunately, those children were of different ages, so I had to hire someone to open a school of this era to teach them this knowledge.

It's just that the behavior of these craftsmen makes me a little strange. After I summoned these craftsmen, I built a large village and town for them to live in, near the academy. And in addition to the shipbuilders I have gathered, there are many craftsmen in construction, as well as craftsmen from all walks of life.

However, these craftsmen, when our academy recruited people, there were obviously a few children who were exactly seven years old who could be called into the academy. But when they learned that I still had a general school in the village, the kind where the scholars of this era would teach the lessons. I found out that these craftsmen had all let their children join this ordinary school, instead of taking my special spot to the academy to learn new knowledge.

In my opinion, the children of these craftsmen should be better at learning new knowledge. Their hands-on skills are more powerful than ordinary children. However, I found that the children of these craftsmen are trained by craftsmen from an early age, so that they can inherit their skills as craftsmen. That's why I found that the children of craftsmen are more ingenious.

But what I didn't expect was that these craftsmen didn't want their children to learn from my academy. Instead, they begged me to let me 'let go' their children and let their children receive orthodox knowledge education~ that is, the kind that can participate in scientific examinations and gain fame......

I was stupid. However, I had no choice but to follow their wishes and pay for the construction of a large enough traditional school in this village...... Since they don't want to learn new knowledge, then I can't force it. Thankfully, enough students were recruited this time. After all, there are a lot of people who agree with the new knowledge, and there are really a lot of well-informed people everywhere.

In addition to the influence of the movies I played, many parents of new students were well-informed, and they knew that my first batch of teachers had only stayed for more than a year, and they were snatched away by the imperial court and went directly to become officials...... So in the eyes of these people, the academy is simply a direct train to promotion and wealth!

Regardless of what these students' parents think, at least the students who are gathered are still very willing to learn new knowledge.

Anyway, the academy got fresh blood. So it doesn't matter if the children of those craftsmen are. Obviously, I promised them that they would all join the academy, but who would have thought that these people would be the ones who changed their minds.

In addition, the research laboratory of the college began to start from scratch, so they began to retrace the path of the first batch of researchers, starting from imitating generators and steam engines. But this incident caused an accident.

Because when imitating generators, these people did not fully understand the physics of electricity and began to imitate according to the notes of their predecessors. So there was an electric shock accident because of this. This nearly killed several new researchers. Luckily, I've been helping out at the academy for a while. So when the accident happened, I was still able to use the medicine in the mall to save people.

It's just that I don't know if it was affected by the few newcomers who had an accident after being electrified. Instead, they became more interested in the study of electricity. So I handed over the circuit research that I had been disconnected for a long time to them. As a result, these people, inspired by Dacao, actually studied the technology of electric welding.

I don't even know how this thing works, I only know that it uses electricity. But after these people were electrocuted again, they actually made a strange-looking electric welding machine.

Although they were inspired by the grass, they were able to produce this kind of knowledge that was not recorded in the books or in me at all. And the main reason that inspired them to make this is that in addition to Dacao showing them a video of electric welding, the rest is to rely on them in the leakage accident, inspired by the arc!

The only pity is that the parts in this electric welding machine that were made were disassembled from various electrical appliances in the mall. It wasn't made out of thin air by these guys.

Now I don't know whether to praise Dacao for his knowledge or the ingenuity of these people. Although it can't be made out of thin air. However, I was shocked to understand the functions of the disassembled capacitors and resistors, as well as a bunch of electronic components, and to be able to design and actually create circuit diagrams.

In any case, at least after the invention and production of the electric welding machine, the speed of scientific research in the college has been greatly accelerated. And most researchers have begun to study complex machinery.

I'm starting to suspect that if I don't correct their research direction at this pace, I guess the tech tree of this era will be biased towards the 'steampunk' tech tree. They have already begun to make use of electric welding machines and simple lathes and stamping machines that have long been made. It's time to start making complex machines that are steam-powered.

In order to keep the tech tree from deviating from its route, I had to forcibly stop their research, and then took out the former 'dragon boat' that had been restored by the craftsmen, and began to let them study how to install the steam engine and steam turbine on the large ship. At least build a steamship first!

In addition, the research on cement, which is now more important, has been developed by leaps and bounds. It's just that the people who make cement research progress, but not those researchers; It turned out that the divine doctor Sun Simiao inadvertently made sulfuric acid from sulfur when he was studying the mucus of the 'corpse water' poison I gave him, and then a similar product of cement was imitated in the chemical laboratory of the divine doctor......

"What! This~ how is it possible? What is the relationship between cement and chemistry? "After I listened to the report, I was dumbfounded.

Later, I learned that when the divine doctor imitated this corpse water, he used sulfur and a bunch of ores, and also used their traditional alchemy furnace to smelt and refine, and then magically made sulfuric acid and gypsum. Later, after firing and grinding in the alchemy furnace many times, in addition to making real sulfuric acid, he also inadvertently used gypsum, limestone and clay to make cement powder in the alchemy furnace, and the researcher who was studying cement happened to be sick and went to the doctor for help, only to see that the powder fired by the doctor was exactly the same as the sample cement I took out from the mall. So~ This cement was actually made when the divine doctor was alchemy!

When I learned about this, I was stupid. What an unexpected surprise!

Of course, the ratio of cement produced is still problematic. Although it can be solidified into lumps, it is not hard enough. I know it's a recipe issue. Let the researchers continue to adjust the ratio!
