"Naturally, this is no problem, and calling you here is also taking this into account, and this new school palace also needs the cooperation of the Ministry of Industry to be formed." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Mu Feng nodded and said, "If Your Majesty has any orders, the minister will fully cooperate." ”

Wang Lang smiled and said: "I don't need you to do anything else, what you need to do is to be outstanding, this school palace doesn't need those who are too treacherous, it's best to be able to calm down and work hard to study technology." ”

Mu Feng twisted his beard and thought for a while, "But there are a few candidates!" ”

"Oh! Let's talk about it! ”

Mu Feng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Fengyu who is in charge of the Construction Division, as well as Wu Feng and Li Xing of the Firearms Division, are all good candidates. ”

Wang Lang nodded and said, "The three people you said are indeed okay, that Zhou Fengyu is the third place in the first exam!" It's been very low-key in the past few years, and there is no news of him at all. ”

Mu Feng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, this week Fengyu has no interest in promotion, since he entered the Ministry of Industry as an official, he has been studying new equipment, and a large part of Xia Guo's equipment in recent years has been improved by him, but he is low-key, except for the officials of the Ministry of Industry, few people know about his contributions." ”

Wang Lang frowned, "Why don't you recommend such a talent?" ”

Mu Feng said a little helplessly: "Your Majesty, the minister has communicated with Zhou Fengyu about this matter, but this Zhou Fengyu refused, he thinks that if the official becomes bigger, there will be more troublesome things, and what he wants to do is to study those machines." ”

Wang Lang smiled and said, "It's been a good Zhou Fengyu, I didn't expect that there were such characters among my officials in Great Xia. ”

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with him?" Mu Feng said with some concern.

"Disposition? Why should such people dispose of him, but I want to reuse this guy, you go back and talk to him, let him come to the palace to see me tomorrow. Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Obey the order!" ”

"It's nothing, after I study the thing I said in a few days, your Ministry of Engineering will see if you can make it."

Mu Feng nodded and said, "The minister has retired." ”

After Mu Feng left, he returned directly to the Ministry of Industry, and after finding Zhou Fengyu, he told him about Wang Lang's desire to see him.

When Zhou Fengyu got the news, he was very surprised, he didn't know what Wang Lang suddenly saw him doing, so he asked Mu Feng, but Mu Feng just told him that it was a good thing, so he didn't want to say more, which made Zhou Fengyu even more confused.

The next day, Zhou Fengyu wore an official uniform and came to the palace full of doubts.

After being briefed by the guards, they walked into the most magnificent complex of buildings in the Xia Kingdom.

"Minister, Zhou Dongyu, director of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry, has seen Your Majesty!" Zhou Fengyu paid homage.

"Zhou Aiqing, sit down!" Wang Lang said with his right hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang looked at Zhou Fengyu, the most obvious place of this person is the scar on his face, which makes him look a little hideous, ignoring this, this young man is quite Zhou Zheng, and his officialdom career in it makes him look much calmer.

"Zhou Aiqing, do you know the purpose of seeing you today." Wang Lang said.

Zhou Fengyu arched his hand and said, "I don't know, please ask Your Majesty to solve your doubts." ”

"I'm going to form a new school palace!" Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

"Xuegong? Your Majesty, this should be a matter for the Ministry of Rites, and the minister is only the head of the Ministry of Works, so he should not be responsible for this matter! Zhou Fengyu asked with some doubts.

"Zhou Aiqing, don't worry, this new school palace is different from today, it is specifically responsible for researching new technologies, whether it is useful or useless, you can study it, the purpose of this school palace is to explore the mysteries of the world, so that we can truly understand the world." Wang Lang said with some excitement.

Discovering that the theoretical study of natural sciences, although it will not be of any practical use for a long time, is the so-called ten years of cultivating trees, a hundred years of educating people, laying a good foundation in him, can be enough accumulation for future generations, when the theory is transformed into actual productivity, it will be a technological explosion, he does not know whether the human beings in this world, can reach the level of another, hundreds of years of time beyond thousands of years of accumulation.

There is no problem with the human intelligence in this world, which he is extremely sure of, if he is a native of this world, then his IQ is not as good as the best among these people, and he can only barely beat them with the knowledge of another world.

He believed that after two or three generations, scholars among mankind would definitely surpass him in the natural sciences, and he only knew some superficial theories, most of them knew what they were and did not know why, and calling themselves scholars or scientists was really a bit derogatory to call themselves scholars or scientists.

Zhou Fengyu was shocked by Wang Lang's imagination, this idea simply coincided with himself, a school palace that only does research, and he fantasized about what kind of scene it should be.

A group of like-minded people got together, discussed the mysteries of the world, solved one puzzle after another, and thought of it, he was a little excited, and because of the excitement, his back was already wet with sweat.

"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?" Zhou Fengyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Naturally it's true, I plan to name this Academy of Great Xia Royal Academy!" ”

"Great Xia Royal Academy of Sciences?" Zhou Fengyu read this somewhat awkward name.

"The so-called science is the truth that is completely proved by knowledge and experiments under the premise of rationality and objectivity, and it is based on facts and practical experimental methods, so that we can obtain the mysteries of the world, such as why the moon revolves around the earth, why the river cannot flow backwards, why people cannot fly to the sky, where all things come from, all these mysteries, we use facts to prove, instead of pushing all these mysteries to the gods." Wang Lang explained.

Listening to one after another somewhat funny and unbelievable questions, Zhou Fengyu listened very seriously, he didn't think these questions were ridiculous, but began to think about why these things were taken for granted, and now they are so magical when they think about it.

"yes, why is that?" Zhou Fengyu muttered to himself.

Wang Lang smiled and said: "Don't think about it so much now, I have time to go to the library to take a look, there are some conjectures about these problems in the books of the nature series, specifically to prove whether these conjectures are true, this is the matter of the Royal Academy of Sciences, it may take generations, dozens of generations to understand these problems." ”

Zhou Fengyu asked, "Your Majesty, what can that minister do." ”

"I want you to be the first president of the Royal Academy of Sciences!"

As soon as Wang Lang's words fell, Zhou Dongyu suddenly stood up from the chair and looked at Wang Lang in disbelief.

"Your Majesty... This can't be, what ability does a minister have to be such an important official position. ”

"Zhou Aiqing is too modest, and with your ability to serve as this dean, it is the most suitable person." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

"This... Minister... Minister... Zhou Fengyu said with a very tangled face.

Wang Lang waved his hand and said, "What? Zhou Aiqing only thinks about his own little things, doesn't he want to do his duty for Daxia and mankind? ”

With such a big hat buttoned down, Zhou Fengyu was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The minister didn't think so, but the minister thought that his ability was not enough to hold this official position." ”

The corners of Wang Lang's mouth curled and said: "I said that if you can do it, you have to do it, if you can't do it, you have to go back and prepare, the new body and official uniform will be sent to your home in a while." ”

Zhou Fengyu smiled bitterly and said, "Minister, obey the order." ”

Seeing this, Wang Lang nodded and said: "That's right, there is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid of people with hearts, the hard work of our generation is for a better life in the future." ”

Zhou Fengyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your teachings." ”

"Alright, you go back and prepare! In too many years, the Academy of Sciences will start construction, and the Academy of Sciences will temporarily set aside a place from the Great Xia Academy, and you people will work there first! ”

Zhou Fengyu said: "Everything is subject to Your Majesty's arrangement, and the minister retired first." ”

Wang Lang nodded, signaling that he could leave.

Zhou Fengyu left the palace in a huff, and he couldn't believe that what happened today was true until he got home.

In the palace, Wang Lang walked to the vegetable garden and picked a cucumber casually, rubbed it twice, clicked and took a bite, and sat on the chaise longue and squinted his eyes.

Fanxing walked over accompanied by the palace maid, sat beside Wang Lang, and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so idle today?" ”

Wang Lang glanced at the stars, closed his eyes again, and said slowly: "This is not something that you can understand as a woman. ”

Fanxing frowned, a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, I have followed you for so many years, and I know a lot of things, why do you still treat me as an ignorant woman." ”

Wang Lang sat up and looked at Fanxing and said, "Say, what did you come to me for, is Wang Lan in trouble?" ”

"Your Majesty, Lan is ten years old this year, isn't it time to consider finding her a family." Fanxing asked.

"Look at your appearance, there is a right fit in your heart!" The corners of Wang Lang's mouth curled.

"This... There are indeed suitable ones. Fanxing said with some hesitation.

"Who!"

"It's the eldest son of Tough Teeth!" Starry Road.

"It turned out to be this kid, isn't he serving in the North now?" Wang Lang asked.

Fanxing nodded and said: "The steel knife is also sixteen years old for the New Year, and I have just returned to Yancheng on vacation in the past few days, and I have reached the age of starting a family, and this child is also grown up by us, and we all know that Lan should not suffer if he marries him." ”

Wang Lang thought for a while and said: "If you have time, let Jianya bring this kid over for me to see, and let Lan take a look, if the two of them have no opinion, the marriage will be decided, Lan is still young now, and he will marry after fourteen, women always have to marry, you can arrange this matter!" ”

When Fanxing heard this, he said happily in his heart: "Your Majesty, have you agreed?" ”

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Well, I agreed." ”

"Then I'll go to Redfish now." After the stars finished speaking, he got up and left.

Wang Lang glanced at the back of the stars and shook his head, although he is the king of a country, the trivial matters of these families are unavoidable.

In history, the royal family has no affection, Wang Lang is a loving person, he doesn't want anything unpleasant to happen to his children, he is also a father, although he is very strict with his children, but in his heart he does love his children very much.

According to the modern people's point of view, Wang Lan is only ten years old this year and is ready to get married, someone will definitely take out other people's flesh and suffer moral condemnation.

But this is a barbaric era, and the role of women is to maintain social stability and strengthen the human race.

Although Wang Lan is her daughter, she is also a woman, a woman will marry sooner or later, and her throne will not be passed on to a woman, as long as she is happy, he will be content.

As for whether Wang Lan likes Lin Jianya's son or not, this is not the point, in his subconscious, love is impossible to exist in this country that has just been established for about 20 years.

Needless to say, ordinary people, even him and Fanxing, or the other two concubines, have no emotional foundation, don't they live the same life, every household in Daxia is like this, and what exception is there for their daughters.

Wang Lang, the old feudal patriarch, put this matter behind him, closed his eyes and began to think about the principle of the microscope.

Compared with telescopes, the optical principle of the microscope is much more complicated, and he is not confident that he can make it.

He had only seen a microscope a handful of times, and when he was in school, the microscope was a valuable item, and several classmates shared one, so it was obviously unrealistic to take it apart and observe, and it was definitely a big challenge to make a microscope.

But no matter what the difficulties, the microscope must be made, although Xia Guo's medical development in recent years has made great progress, but deaths caused by various diseases occur from time to time.

Penicillin is not a panacea, and only vigorous research into microbiology can reduce the extremely high case fatality rate.

The biggest disadvantage of human beings compared to the dinosaur people who live around them is the lack of population.

In the past ten years, Xia has encouraged the people to have more children, but the survival rate of newborns is very unsatisfactory, and the population wants to show explosive growth, and it is impossible to have reliable medical treatment.

The people near Yancheng are okay, they have the best medical conditions in the Xia Kingdom, and the medical level in the rest of the places is extremely low, and some backward areas can only rely on primitive sorcerers to treat the people, if they can't research cheap and reliable medicines, they can't guarantee the rapid development of the number of human beings.

Based on the size of the Divine Continent, he conservatively estimated that at least 10 million people would be needed to fully control the continent.

And this process will take at least ten years, more than twenty years, but Wang Lang can't wait, Xia has a vast land with high-yield crops, and it is no problem for a family to raise six or seven children in the field, if it is because of the disease, he will not see the day when the Shenzhou Continent is full of human beings before he dies, he feels that he will die with regret.
