Chapter 3265 The Second University in the World

Before Zhao Xing could explain, Wan Qianyong had already replied: "Steel mother, this is the legendary steel mother." Our Quang Nam soldiers used muskets, which had to drill the bore pipe, which was very troublesome, and the steel pipe was not done well, once there was trachoma in the pipe, it would explode.

But with this kind of steel mother, it is different, I heard that this steel knife made of steel mother can cut iron pipes with one knife. My adults say that mixing a little steel to cast a cannon will make the cannon more powerful, not to mention the barrel. ”

Zhao Xing took a piece of steel mother and said excitedly: "It's been three years, three years ago I heard that this kind of black steel mother is abundant at the bottom of the sea in Mayi, it is said that some people often pick it up on the beach, and the locals use this steel mother to make a sharp serpentine sword, so I have been looking for it for three years, and finally found it - Lord Xie, a new era has arrived, this is the age of gunpowder." Well, I'm going to name this steel mother manganese, and with it, the steel will become more violent. ”

The steel mother mentioned by Zhao Xing is called "manganese" in modern times.

70% of the world's manganese ore is stored on the seabed, and 70% of the manganese ore on the seabed is stored in the Pacific Ocean. 90% of manganese ore in the Pacific Ocean is deposited in the seabed from the Philippines to Malaysia.

In the era of galleons, there was a saying that "whoever owns the Philippines owns the whole world". Since then, historical facts have proved the truth of this sentence - the Spaniards hired local natives to collect pearl oysters in the offshore part of the sea, diving to catch manganese metal agglomerates on the bottom of the sea. And thus began the Age of Discovery. Later, Britain intervened in Malaysia and shared the manganese ore, thus having the capital to compete with Spain. Nowadays. The United States began to rise from the occupation of the Philippines and became the hegemon for a century. At the beginning of the 20th century, they used submarines to salvage manganese steel blocks at deeper seabeds, further controlling the vast majority of the earth's manganese strategic resources.

With this small block of manganese steel, the musket artillery was immediately exempted from the danger of exploding, the hardness of the steel ground was much improved, and more powerful explosives could be used - just as Zhao Xing said, it created an era and opened a door. This led to the advent of the age of steel and artillery.

It also means that Pandora's box has opened.

Those present did not know that they were witnessing the arrival of an era. Xie Lin didn't know what "Pandora's Box" was, so he couldn't understand Zhao Xing's excitement, Jing Niang was not interested in the preference of men like steel and iron, and Li Qingzhao only valued its value, she asked curiously: "Uncle Zhao, is this thing very valuable?" ”

Zhao Xing replied: "Precious, very precious...... You just hid two pieces of ground in your sleeve, and if you sell them to a blacksmith, they will be worth about a thousand times. ^^^^ no matter what price it is measured, it cannot explain its true value - this thing is extremely rare, it has not yet appeared in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and money cannot buy it, fortunately. We have Ma Yi. ”

Wan Qianyong's face was full of joy: "It's not precious, the news just now came that the children have already fished half a boat, and this thing is very heavy." The battleship had a deep draft. As soon as the ships entered the port, they quickly delivered the message. ”

Zhao Xing hurriedly ordered: "Let them immediately open the furnace and smelt, and experiment with the appropriate proportion, I want to know the best formula for mixing with steel mother...... Dress up, change the army immediately. ”

When Zhao Xing said this, he stared at Xie Lin and suggested, "Lord Xie, aren't your soldiers going to use muskets?" I have a new batch of guns in my storeroom. I didn't have time to go down. Cheap handling is given to you - thirty rounds per gun. ”

Xie Lin shook his head: "I'll purchase a dozen or so at most...... Personally, I prefer short handcuffs, the kind your guards have. This thing is more powerful than a bow and arrow, and I want to buy a dozen or so to match my guards...... You just said that the people of Fujian revolted, and I remember that in that upheaval, your 50 musketeers repelled the attack of 500 rebellious people, right? Are they all equipped with this weapon...... I'll try it with fifty people. ”

One of Zhao Xing's musketeers was equipped with seven auxiliaries, and Xie Lin automatically ignored the number of auxiliaries according to the common parlance of the era. As soon as he said this, Jing Niang on the other side giggled, she covered her mouth and said: "When I was drifting east and west on the river, I heard that Lord Zhao once used ten people to block 30,000 Tubo alone, and killed those ruthless Tubo people in one go...... Giggles, fifty people killed five hundred people, what kind of ruthless person is it, not as good as Lord Zhao......

You men always like to talk about this beating and killing, and the little woman doesn't understand it, but, Lord Zhao, since you have found the treasure, the little woman will dance to congratulate you. ”

Li Qingzhao pursed his lips and muttered, "It's not good, Uncle Zhao, you don't want me to play with your short handcuffs, this time you found the steel mother, you need to come up with something for me, let me play it too." ”

Zhao Xing smiled and replied: "Little lady of the Li family, how about I cast a batch of steel mother chess pieces for you, the chess pieces are black and white." Pure silver is used for the white ground, and steel is used for the black ground. When you are poor in the future, you will sell these steel mother chess pieces, and you will be able to survive the misfortune safely. *****”

Zhao Xing is talking about an experience of Li Qingzhao in real history. It is said that after the Jin soldiers broke the city of Bianliang, Li Qingzhao's husband died, she crossed the river and fled, leaving all the things at home, and had no money to cross the river, so she had to sell the ornaments she carried with her, so she could raise the money to carry the gold and stone calligraphy left by her husband......

At this point, Li Qingzhao didn't come to his senses, Zhao Xing stopped abruptly, and after a while, he said thoughtfully: "No, silver is too light to be worthy of such a heavy manganese steel ore...... Ah Ye, I actually forgot about Dali and Zhenladi Mithril Mine. ”

Li Qingzhao blinked and asked curiously, "Uncle Zhao, what is Mithril?" ”

Zhao Xing didn't seem to hear Li Qingzhao's words, but he said to himself that he just answered Li Qingzhao's question: "Mithril is the saying of Western alchemists, they extract this metal from silver mines and gold mines, a metal as white as silver, but heavier than gold, because I don't know what to call it, so I call it Mithril I have studied this metal, and think that this metal is likely to be another metal different from silver and gold, because the color is as bright as silver, I privately call it white gold." According to Western legend, this metal carries magic. Or can transmit magic......

Speaking of which, only Mithril, or white gold, can match black manganese steel......"

Zhao Xing suddenly remembered several gold and silver mines in Yunnan, which are called "platinum mines" in modern times, because the platinum content in them is relatively high, and the income from refining platinum exceeds that of silver mines and gold mines themselves.

Platinum is a catalyst, manganese dioxide is also a catalyst, the birth of the two has promoted the rapid development of the chemical industry, and platinum is also the main material for making steel nibs. Its present has ushered in the advent of the information age. Because of the writing with the platinum-iridium nib, a large amount of information can be easily and quickly recorded, so the information age has arrived. People can obtain a hundredfold and a thousand times more information than ever before, which has led to an explosion of information in modern times. Therefore, platinum and manganese are also known as "world-changing metals".

Zhao Xing was leisurely there, and Li Qingzhao thought uncomfortably: "Uncle Zhao's fancy thing must be a treasure - I decided, if Uncle Zhao can get me a set of platinum black and gold chess pieces, I can consider dating Zhao Feng." ”

Xie Lin didn't know why, and took advantage of Zhao Xing's bargaining with Li Qingzhao. He talked to Jing Niang in a private voice, and warmly invited Jing Niang to go back to Jiangling Mansion with him, Jing Niang was noncommittal, Zhao Xing's words attracted Xie Lin over, and only heard Zhao Xing say: "That's it." What you want is too precious, and I have paid too much in exchange for a reply from you agreeing to associate with my son—no.

You don't know, this Mithril is a hassle to refine. Even I don't know the exact refining method, because the success rate of refining this metal is so low that Western alchemists believe that this metal has magic and can be used to cast magical objects.

We don't have a saying about the word Mithril in the Central Plains, but for the thousand-year-old steel mother, Taoists have all kinds of legends. Legend has it that this steel mother is a star that falls from the sky, or a divine object that emerges from the Nine Hidden Underworlds. Taoists believe that this metal has been tempered by the fire of hell, so it is invulnerable. And the Taoist priests are even more word-of-mouth. It is said that this kind of steel mother can be used to make Taoist ritual vessels. This magic weapon can ward off evil spirits and kill demons. It can even help people soar and become immortals......

You see, my game of chess contains the highest artifacts of Western magic and Central Plains Taoism, and legend has it that as long as you have these two things, whether in the East or the West, it is the category of immortals and magic masters, and it is the ultimate fierce man...... Doesn't such a game of chess make you decide to get married? ”

Li Qingzhao bit his finger and replied with big eyes: "Uncle Zhao, don't lie to me - this is the first time I've heard about Mithril Land, but I've also heard about it in the legends of the Tang Dynasty." Of course, I know their preciousness and rarity, that's why I agreed to associate with your son, that nerd, whether I marry him or not depends on his efforts. ”

Zhao Xing no longer teased Li Qingzhao, he took the letter handed over by Wan Qianyong, and Wan Qianyong's expression showed that there was still material in this letter. Zhao Xing glanced at the content in front of him and turned his gaze to the end of the letter.

At the end of the letter, the person in charge of searching for ore for Zhao Xing reported to him that after three years of searching, he finally found the Qiongzhou iron ore in the deep mountains of Qiongzhou Island - this is the best subway ore in China: Qiongzhou low-phosphorus iron ore.

Most of China's iron ore is not high-grade iron ore, only Qiongzhou iron ore, which belongs to the remnants of the iron ore belt in India and Vietnam, happens to be the highest quality low-phosphorus iron ore.

Zhao Xing finished reading the letter, and handed the letter to Wan Qianyong expressionlessly, although he tried his best to be calm, but he still expressed his excitement in his words: "Pass the order, reward Qi Thirteen, and a bonus of 500,000 yuan to reward his present." *****”

500,000 guan, this number made Xie Lin's eyes tremble, and Jing Niang, who was talking to him absentmindedly, also stiffened his face, and when the two returned to normal, Zhao Xing stood up happily, pointed to the scenery by the river, and said excitedly: "People often say that Yizhang has eight ancient scenes, these ancient eight scenes are all left in the Han and Tang dynasties, called the model of Zhongxia culture, Lord Xie, let us add two more scenery to Yizhang."

My students left behind a Decameron, and that's not enough, the world has entered the physical age, and we need to speed up our pace - I'm going to use 10,000 stonemasons from the Angkor Dynasty to build a stone university town here. Let this place at the junction of Huguang and Guangzhou become the cultural exchange center of our Huguang region, so that students from the two places can talk freely here!

Mr. Xie, the scenery here is wonderful. My teacher Po Gong likes the climate and scenery here, this time I plan to leave all the degraded officials in Yizhang, let them open an altar in Yizhang City to teach, and recruit disciples, so as to sufficien the teachers here, what does Master Xie think? ”

Opening a sect and establishing a sect is the greatest pursuit of literati, and Xie Lin is sideways in it, and his interest is suddenly high. Completely forgot about what Zhao Xing had just said. He said excitedly: "Since it is called a university town, Yizhang has convenient transportation, and the waterway can lead to the Yangtze River and the sea, and the number of students in our school cannot be small...... It's just a thousand, and I'm going to have five hundred places for the two lakes - that's it. ”

"For a thousand students, my Guangdong Xuezheng is willing to provide all the money - free teaching materials, free accommodation, and ...... pen and ink money, charcoal salary, clothing money, and summer money", Zhao Xing calculated with great interest: "Count it as 15 per month." It is equivalent to the fortune of a county, so that it costs about 200,000 yuan a year to raise this thousand students, which is too worthwhile! ”

Xie Lin couldn't save this money, so he hurriedly interjected: "Since I Jinghu accounts for five hundred births." There should be 500 examples. Otherwise, wouldn't I, a Jinghu student, be discriminated against in the academy...... By the way, why don't you call it a college and call it a university? ”

Zhao Xing replied: "I need to teach all the knowledge in this school. Rather than omitting knowledge, so this school must be called a university than Taixue, it is only a little less...... Do you know that the world's first university has been born in the West, and I hope that the university we established in Yizhang will be preserved forever and become the second university in the world. *****”

Xie Lin muttered to himself: "University, too learning." That's fine. I have two lakes and two Guangzhous hand in hand, how can I be regarded as the second in the whole Song Dynasty. Lower than Taixue, but higher than the rest, it's called university, and I'm very satisfied with the name! ”

With Xie Lin's final word, the First University of the Great Song Dynasty was established!

Zhao Xing's school covers a wide range of disciplines, and because he advocated the application of what he has learned, the students who came out of the school were so good that millionaires came out one after another, so soon everyone privately called it the "Rich School", or "the cradle of the rich".

In this school, Zhao Xing taught his "Jingshi Jimin Shu" as a textbook to students for the first time. Because many of the concepts mentioned in the book are means of governing the economy of a county and a place, it has attracted many overseas students to study abroad. In the early days, some people privately called this school "Imperial School", and the Jingshi Jimin Art taught was privately called "Imperial Technique".

The emergence of this term unconsciously changed the content of the traditional "imperial art". The traditional imperial art pays attention to intrigue, framing and framing, excluding dissidents, and increasing internal strife to consolidate one's own land power, which is the legacy of the ancient vertical and horizontal arts, and the "imperial art" founded by Zhao Xingxin pays attention to "management".

Fortunately, this was the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was an open era, and the Song people confidently learned from others, worked hard to do their own things, and did not have the heart to abuse things that they did not understand. Therefore, although the knowledge taught by the Huguang University of Economics co-founded by Zhao Xing and Xie Lin is a bit appalling, it has quietly grown up in the cracks of various schools......

In the summer of this year, "Huguang Learning" was established. At the same time, the heavy rain in the capital continued, and the barracks of the sixth battalion of the Gongsheng Army stationed at Anmenmen were flooded, and the water in the camp reached 3 feet 5 inches. At the same time as publishing this news, the Imperial Court Newspaper published a large-scale locust plague in the Gaoyou Army, and the Gaoyou Army reported in the newspaper that it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and the locusts felt the arrival of the prosperous land, so they stopped eating grass and died.

"Hahaha, looking at this recital, it's like watching a fantasy, I guess this recital must be Mao Peng's sycophant", Zhao Xing looked at the recital and was overjoyed. When he said this, he was sitting in a carriage and was on his way to Guangzhou with Qin Guan: ", Shaoyou, this person finished compiling "The Legend of the West Chamber", and he became addicted to making up stories. ”

Qin Guan smiled, he shook the small folding fan, and said leisurely: "Leaving people, you shouldn't blame Mao Peng so much - if the saint comes out, the world will be peaceful." This is the induction of heaven and man, and it is the basic theory of Confucianism. You have always denied the five virtues, and then denied the induction of heaven and man, what do you have left for Confucianism?! ”

"What a Confucian! I have left Confucianism a true Confucianism left by the master in ancient times, it may not be the best, and we don't need to respect it alone. But it is rustic and has not been distorted", Zhao Xingle replied, and then asked rhetorically: "I said, the teacher and several senior brothers are willing to stay in Yizhang to teach, why don't you want to stay?" I see, you are an incorrigible merryman, and you must be disgusted with the bitterness, so you don't want to stay. ”

Qin Guan's expression was gloomy: "Speaking of which." Between several brothers and sisters. Only you don't control me, I stay in Yizhang, especially by Huang Luzhi's side, for fear of being scolded to death by him every day. ”

After Zhao Xing arranged the affairs of Yizhang, he set off to return to Guangzhou, at this time, most of the degraded officials were willing to stay in Yizhang, where the climate was cool, rather than returning to the hot Guangzhou. Only Qin Guan was unwilling to stay, and he climbed into Zhao Xing's carriage when he left. Resolutely ask to walk with Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "Huang Luzhi is a gentleman, he sees you as a friend, so he will persuade you." As for me, I know that everyone's talent is different, and your talent is not in governing civil affairs. is not in the trial of the lawsuit, it is precisely in the romantic and elegant meeting, and the reward is answered. That's why I don't care about you. ”

Qin Guan nodded lightly, later. He squinted at Zhao Xing, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Nowadays, the court is full of stupidity and meanness, in terms of articles, which of them is better than me, but they are still in the high hall, but I want to wander to Lingnan."

I confess that I can't match your ability to govern places. But am I not as good as those ministers in the court? Where can they compare to me? So you say. I am only worthy of being Liu Yong, not a cabinet minister. You can't be a local guardian - it's too underestimated. ”

Zhao Xing clapped his hands and smiled: "There are indeed many ministers of the court who are not as good as you, but you can't give up on me if you are angry - I know that when you go back to Guangzhou, you can't give up the wind and snow there." Yizhang has just started construction, and it has become a large construction site, which is indeed not suitable for living and living. So you went back to Guangzhou with me, and I didn't complain. ”

Qin Guan snorted, shook his fan and didn't speak.

In recent years, with the efforts of Zhao Xing, Guangzhou's urban area has expanded by three to five times, among them, the huge foreign trade fair hall in the light city takes half a day to run on a fast horse. In addition, there are large-scale entertainment venues for merchants from all over the world, all of which the Great Song Dynasty has, Guangdong has, and everywhere is ahead of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

All this originated from Zhao Xing, who was a person who pursued enjoyment, so he built Guangzhou's entertainment facilities very comprehensively, and later became famous. And Qin Guan has become the "pope" and "leading brother" in Guangzhou's entertainment industry, in this case, of course, he can't give up being revered in Guangzhou. And if Qin Guan stays in Yizhang, he can't compare to Su Shi compared to Wencai; Compared with the official titles in the past, he can't compare to Liu Anshi, and compared to calligraphy, he can't compare to Huang Tingjian.

In addition, several brothers in the division knew his problems and liked to say a few words about him. In comparison, he is only at ease in Guangzhou......

After a moment of silence, seeing that Qin Guan didn't speak, Zhao Xing had nothing to say, and said: "Do you know, in the imperial history, Cheng An impeached Lu Huiqing's brothers one after another, first saying that he had impeached Huainan, Lu Wenqing of the two Zhejiang Inspectorates, and Lu Yue and Lu Xinran of Tuojiang Prefecture to buy the foundation of the people's house, etc., and have not been replied to by the Political Affairs Hall so far. Therefore, the imperial court was asked to send Yu Shi Zeng Town to Yangzhou to investigate.

Then, An also impeached Lu Shengqing, the deputy envoy of Hebei Transport, because of a conflict with his boss Gao Zunhui, he actually created an unjust prison to frame his boss, and was ready to take his boss to the yamen for interrogation, which was simply lawless......"

Qin Guan flattened his mouth and said with a sneer: "Come on, it's not your hands and feet here." Isn't Lu Yue and Lu Xinran in Jiangdu County the person in your pocket, I heard that the Fujian bandits destroyed Lu Huiqing's ancestral house in Fujian not long ago - look, it is difficult to be safe now, the time is just the time when the news from Fujian is transmitted to the capital, who is the mastermind behind this scene, do you still need to guess? I just didn't expect Ann to become your person. ”

Zhao Xing didn't deny it, he replied without blushing and without a heartbeat: "These imperial historians like to attack others when they are idle, I pondered, instead of letting him find fault for himself, it is better for me to help him find other people's stubble...... So I asked Cheng Xia to reveal the news to An and let him bite Lu Huiqing.

At this time, Lu Huiqing must be anxious and exhausted. Hehe, I'm just knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger now, and cleaning up his Lu clan is just to warn him and let him know that I, Zhao Laohu, can't be provoked...... I'm sure he'll find out about it soon, and he'll be annoyed with me......"

Qin Shaoyou shook his head: "You are so persecuted, I'm afraid Zhang Xiang won't be able to get over there." Aren't you afraid that he will support Lu Huiqing? ”
