Chapter Forty-Six: The Trial Is About to Begin, and the Subway Is About to Open

When Lu Bingyi returned to Jiayuguan, the special train continued to walk back.

In the dining car, drinking tea, Zhang Zhimu asked, "Mr. Lu!" Why didn't Mr. Duan and Mr. Tang come back with you? ”

"They! They also had to go upstream along the Tarim River, and they were not at ease if they did not go there themselves. Lu Bingyi said, "The Tarim River is too seasonal, and it has to be cut off when the water is severe, which has a great impact on shipping." We already have a few dredging boats in the process of dredging, but the problem is not completely solved. Mr. Tang wanted to see if there was a solution once and for all. Mr. Duan also looked at the direction of roads and railways. If we want to control it well, shipping, highways, and railways must be built as soon as possible. Originally, I wanted to follow along, but it was time to enroll students, and this year's enrollment work has changed a lot, and the number of students has been large. I don't worry if I don't go back! ”

"Hmmm! This year, the number of students enrolled in the Teachers College needs to be greatly increased! Zhang Zhimu said.

At this time, Fan Jingwen, a bachelor who was drinking tea on the side, spoke, "Zhang Dongjia, I have a suggestion that I don't know if I can say?" ”

"Oops! Why is Lord Fan so polite, just say what you have to say! Since the scholar Fan Jingwen sent envoys to Annam, Siam, Laos and other countries, Zhang Zhimu still has a good impression of Fan Jingwen.

"In this way, I see that the teachers trained in the kiln are different from our previous literati, mainly because they have to learn a lot of mathematics, physics, chemistry and other content, so they can also use this knowledge to teach students. Now you want to expand the enrollment of teachers colleges, because you want to have more teachers and train more students in the future. But have you ever thought about it, it will take four years to see the effect. Now there is a shortage of qualified teachers in many places, and four years is too long, which will delay many students. Fan Jingwen said.

Zhang Zhimu knew that Fan Jingwen wouldn't speak if he didn't have a good idea, and he wouldn't ask such a question when he spoke, so he didn't interrupt him.

Fan Jingwen saw that everyone was listening to himself attentively, and continued: "I suggest, we now have a lot of people who have studied a lot of culture, although they have not studied mathematics, physics and chemistry, but they are at least very proficient in our language and writing, it is better to recruit a group of such literate people and train them to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, because they don't need to start learning literature, and they can see the effect in a short time, is it possible to quickly train a group of teachers!?" ”

Listening to Fan Jingwen's words, Lu Bingyi clapped his hands and said, "Oops! Fan-sama's advice is too good. We can recruit a group of such people, and after one or two years of training, it should be no problem to teach primary school students! ”

Zhang Zhimu also said: "Lord Fan's suggestion is good! We will send a notice when we go back, this time the enrollment is over, and we will immediately allocate places to all places, specifically find those literate people to train, and the age can be relaxed, and a group of teachers can be trained as soon as possible, so that we must not wait any longer! ”

"I'll do it myself! Lu Bingyi directly took the matter over.

Seeing that his suggestion was taken seriously and was immediately adopted, Fan Jingwen was naturally very happy. Emperor Chongzhen was naturally even happier when he saw his people showing their faces, "Zhang Dongjia, I have another suggestion!" ”

"The emperor has something to order!" Zhang Zhimu said politely.

"Like those places that we have just occupied, I am afraid that for the time being, there is no need for mathematics, physics and chemistry, and it is completely possible to educate them with our culture, and we now have a lot of literati who have nothing to do, and we can use them to do the work of education. And the age of such people can be relaxed. Those who are very knowledgeable tend to be older, but they are still competent in teaching! ”

"The emperor's opinion is very good!" Zhang Zhimu said, "However, we have been recruiting those knowledgeable talents, but many people would rather be idle at home than come out to do things, there is really no way!" ”

"Huh!" Fan Jingwen smiled and said, "For such a thing, just ask our emperor to send a word!" ”

"Huh!" Emperor Chongzhen also smiled and said, "I went back and sent a notice, inviting talented people to come out and do things for the country, and they will naturally come out!" ”

Zhang Zhimu understands that many literati do not recognize the kiln gang people as authentic and are reluctant to come out, but the emperor has spoken, and these literati can have a reason to come out. Another reason is that some people who think they have the ability are reluctant to follow the big slip out to apply, thinking that it will lower their status, so they don't come out. When the emperor speaks, they can give themselves a reason.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Actually, there are a lot of people studying in our country, and if we mobilize to defend the country and contribute, it will be terrible!" ”

Lu Bingyi said: "That's great! In the past few years, there are too many newborn children in our Ming Dynasty, and in a few years, they have reached the age where they should study. I think what we have to do urgently is to train teachers and build schools. The second is to speed up the popularization of the power grid. I saw a lot of places without electricity, and there was a serious disconnect with us, and many children didn't know what the radio and TV were, because there was no electricity in many places. ”

"Don't we have semiconductor radios now?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"A lot of people in the backwoods can't afford a radio, and those who can afford a radio can't afford a battery!" Lu Bingyi said.

The topic was a bit heavy, and everyone fell silent.

Zhang Zhimu suddenly thought of an invention from his previous life, and immediately said: "I have an idea, we can develop one, which can be used to wind a constant-force spring like a clock, and then use the energy stored in the spring to drive a generator to generate electricity to supply the radio." Such a radio can be manually wound for energy, without the need for batteries! In the future, each village will be given one free of charge, so that all our villages can listen to the radio. ”

Lu Bingyi said: "Oops! It would be great if we could develop a radio like this! We have too many places without electricity. ”

Emperor Chongzhen also said: "Zhang Dongjia, how did you come up with such a good idea?" When will the radio you are talking about be developed? ”

"Haha!"

Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhang Zhimu said, "I see! When our emperor encounters something, he is more anxious than anyone else! ”

Zhang Zhimu and his party returned to Yaogang, and a good show just began.

The public trial of those who had rebelled was about to begin.

Li Yan personally went to the train station to greet Zhang Zhimu, which made Yang Yulin a little unhappy, she didn't want Zhang Zhimu to start working directly before resting. However, Yang Yulin also knew that Li Yan must have something urgent, and he would not pick people up from the station.

Zhang Zhimu followed Li Yan to his office, Li Yan closed the door tightly, and said to Zhang Zhimu, "I'll wait for you to come back!" We have done a lot of work on the trial of those who have rebelled. We have sorted out a lot of documents, and we have collected a lot of human and material evidence. The trial of this case is the first time for our kiln gang people, I am still worried that there is something unexpected, and I want you to check it! ”

"I correct you by saying that these people are not criminals before they are tried and convicted, and can only be called criminal suspects. Also, as for the trial, you must carry out the law that we have made, and I can only help you with the procedure, and as for how to convict, you will determine according to the law. Moreover, no one will be allowed to interfere with the independent judicial power of the judiciary in the future. Zhang Zhimu said, "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, everything has a mature and perfect process, that is, if any omissions are found in the trial process, we can also correct and improve." In addition, if problems are discovered in the course of the trial that cannot be resolved in court, the trial may be adjourned or even postponed. It's all in your hands! ”

"Hmmm! We've all thought about these things, and when you say that, I feel more at ease! I'm afraid that if we don't do it well, it will affect us! Li Yan was also a little more relaxed.

"Then we'll start the formal trial tomorrow!" Li Yan said.

"Hey! You should have started a long time ago! I just want to be away from home and let you do it! Zhang Zhimu said. However, Zhang Zhimu also understands that it is the first time for Li Yan to do such a big thing, and he has to try it publicly. In the courtroom, people from all walks of life and reporters will also observe, and Li Yan and they are understandably nervous.

While the two were talking, Li Yan's voice of "Didi" came from him, and Zhang Zhimu asked, "What?" Pager used? ”

Li Yan got up and said, "Hmm! Mr. Zhang, this thing is so convenient, it's so convenient to find someone! Saying that, he called the pager, and it turned out that the red lady left a message at the pager, asking him to go home early for dinner.

Li Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe! Everyone is just starting to use this thing, and they are all in the freshness stage. You see, she could have called directly, but she didn't, she wanted to leave a message at the pager, you said it was very interesting! ”

"Huh! I'm adamant I don't want to bring it! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oops! You're not at home! When the paging number is auctioned, people rush to the number like crazy, as if the silver is not earned! Li Yan said.

"Thanks to Yulin and Mr. Lu's thoughtfulness, we have set aside some numbers for our company." Zhang Zhimu said, "If conditions permit, you can also put some numbers before the end of the year!" This also increases people's awareness of information! ”

As soon as Zhang Zhimu returned home and entered the house, Xiaohu Xiaoqing surrounded him, the two children were very dependent on Zhang Zhimu, and Zhang Zhimu was also very worried about them. However, Zhang Zhimu saw that the two children were each holding a pager in their hands, and one of them was still gold-plated.

Zhang Zhimu asked, "Oh, why do you two have pagers?" ”

"Oops! Which one is ours? Xiaoqing said, "This is a good Aunt Hongyu, this is Aunt Yulin's, let's just take it over and play with it." ”

Zhang Zhimu understood, the two children waited for themselves to come back to get a pager, "Okay!" You two pagers, I'll figure it out! ”

Both children's eyes lit up.

At this time, Xiao Hongyu came over with the child in her arms and said, "Oops! You don't know if you're not at home, but now the streets are full of people hanging pagers and wandering around, for fear that others won't be able to see the pagers on them. Ridiculous, you say? Now there is no paging number on the business card, and I am embarrassed to take it out! ”

Huang Yukun came over and said: "The people in the telephone bureau said that the volume of telephone communication has increased significantly. Switches often go wrong! ”

"This is the beginning! When there is a pager that can display Chinese characters, you see, there are many things about pagers! Zhang Zhimu said.

"Uncle! Will pagers still be able to display kanji in the future? Xiaohu asked with interest.

"Of course they can, Master Qingfengzi and they are studying the selection of liquid crystals that can have polarization ability, and when they find it, they can develop liquid crystal display units, and then the pager can display Chinese characters!"

Yang Yulin came over and said, "Just come back, don't let people be idle!" I just learned that our subway line ** is about to open, just waiting for you to come back! Let's get ready for the opening ceremony! ”
