Chapter 32: The Students of the Graduate School (1)
After the publication of the "Daming Science Daily", Zhu Youxiao began experimental research in the laboratory of the Ordnance Bureau. This year's entrance examination for the Beijing Normal University Hall is even more lively than last year's, especially after the students of the Normal School and the Clerk's School began to be divided into various places to become teachers and officials, and the people who were worried about it have come to understand. A large number of students came to Beijing to take the exam, and for a while the inn and the restaurant were not able to make money.
The institute recruited another 600 new students, and after Zhu Youxiao taught for a year, his lecture notes became textbooks for new students, and other teachers who were proficient in a certain aspect taught them. Of course, there are also some students who are speechless when asked, especially in medicine and agriculture.
So Zhu Youxiao decided to go to the hall of Beijing Normal University once every ten days, not to give lectures, but to solve doubts.
This day was the day to go to the Beijing Normal University Hall, and he took Zhu Huiyuan, who must follow him to the Beijing Normal University Hall to play, to a room specially prepared for him.
After a while, the students of the medical class came, a middle-aged man in his forties, and as soon as he entered the door, he fell to his knees and kowtowed. Zhu Youxiao asked someone to help him up and said: "The newcomer doesn't understand the rules, I don't accept kneeling in the hall of Beijing Normal University, just do it." ”
The middle-aged man stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the ceremony cannot be abolished." Student Wu Youxing, some time ago I heard Mr. say that there are bacteria in the water or air, and the student does not understand what bacteria look like, and Mr. does not know, so he can only ask the student to consult His Majesty. ”
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "The Ordnance Bureau and the glass factory have cooperated to create a device that can see small insects in the water, which is still in the experimental stage, and it may be successful in a few months, so I can't let you see it now." But I've seen worms in the water in one place before. And there are many diseases that are caused by very small bacteria, and there is no problem with this. ”
Wu Youxing didn't dare to believe it, and said: "Your Majesty, how various diseases arise, students also think about it on weekdays. However, the general medical map only marks the acupuncture points, and the situation inside the body is not clear. His Majesty's handouts clearly distinguish the types and appearances of blood vessels, and students do not know which book they saw them from. ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Do you want to know what the inside of the human body looks like?" ”
Wu Youxing nodded and said, "Students do want to know." ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Are you bold enough?" Dare to dissect people? ”
Zhu Huiyuan, who was next to her, opened her eyes wide and screamed in fright. Wu Youxing is a little strange, how dare this little eunuch be so rude in front of the king.
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly said: "Yuan Yuan, you let Wang Dujian take him to play outside, I have something to do here." ”
Zhu Huiyuan was frightened by the emperor's brother's words, and hurriedly stood up and went out with Wang Chengen. Zhu Youxiao looked at Wu Youxuan and waited for him to answer.
Wu Youxing hesitated for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the student doesn't dare to kill, but the dead still dare to cut it open." ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Very good. I asked you to find a few people in the medicine class who want to understand the internal structure of the body like you, and go to southern Liaoning together, where there are Jiannu who can let you dissect. How about you take a closer look at the records and then write a book on the structure of the human body? ”
Wu Youxing has studied medicine for decades, read a lot of medical books, and diagnosed and treated many cases. He found that some diseases were not caused by the evil of the six prostitutions, but by the unhealthy qi of the four seasons, and he never understood the principle of getting sick, but in the medical class, he actually heard the theory that bacteria caused diseases, and felt that it was just right to explain the cases he encountered, so he came to consult the emperor. Now that the emperor has allowed him to dissect the human body, he will naturally not refuse.
He made a gesture and said, "The student has thanked His Majesty for his kindness, and the student will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Dissecting human corpses is not allowed in China, so I can only hit Jiannu with my idea." The difference between the barbarians and my Ming people is that there is no difference in spirit and body. I will give you a Chincha token, and all units of the Guards will fully support you. ”
After Wu Youxing took the Qincha token handed over by Wei Zhongxian, he knelt down and thanked the emperor. Zhu Youxiao didn't stop him this time, but said: "Leave early, and when the microscope is developed, I will send someone to send it to you." ”
The second student who came in was not from the agricultural class, but a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. He made a gesture and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Yizhi, a student in the equipment class, applied to the Ordnance Bureau for an internship. ”
Zhu Youxiao looked at the young man: the teenage boy tried to pretend to be old, but he obviously listened to what the people outside said, and in the face of the emperor, he couldn't be calm after all, and his legs trembled slightly.
This year, the freshmen of the equipment class of the research institute did not directly enter the Ordnance Bureau for internship, because Zhu Youxiao thought that it would be better to learn some basic knowledge first and then go later, and there were already students from last year, so the need for students in the research institute was not so urgent.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Why did you go directly to the internship?" Have you learned all the homework you should have learned? ”
His legs, which trembled slightly, gradually became weak, and Fang Yizhi said sweatingly: "Your Majesty, student, the student has already learned the knowledge in the textbook, and I feel that only by comparing it with the actual situation can I really learn the knowledge." ”
Zhu Youxiao was a little strange, so he asked, "Where did you study?" ”
Fang Yizhi replied: "Your Majesty, the student was taught some Western knowledge by his mother and aunt at home, and there are some things that the student has already learned here. ”
Zhu Youxiao asked, "Where are you from?" ”
Fang Yizhi said: "Your Majesty, the student is from Tongcheng County, Anqing Prefecture, and his father is currently in the Ministry of War. ”
So that's the case, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "The Ordnance Bureau has many research directions, including steam locomotives, firearms, cannons, and other research, so where do you want to go for an internship?" ”
Fang Yizhi thought for a while and said: "Fire cannons, killing weapons, don't learn, I'll learn to make steam locomotives." ”
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "At a young age, it looks a little old-fashioned, interesting." Weapons of murder also have their uses, such as the rampant Jiannu, how can they be killed if there are no fire guns and cannons. I have allowed you to intern at the Armory Bureau, and I hope you can help the Armory Bureau build a better and faster steam locomotive. ”
The third group of students was even more strange because they turned out to be two students from geography. One in his thirties, the other in his twenties. After the two of them fought, the student in his twenties spoke: "Your Majesty, student Zhang Dai wants to drop out of school. ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "You want to quit school, why?" Others can't get into graduate school if they want to, so you want to drop out? ”
Zhang Dai said: "The students came to take the exam at that time, and originally wanted to govern history, but there was no history class, thinking that history and geography were similar, so they applied for a geography class, but later found out that in fact, students were not interested in geography, since there was no history, students felt that it was more appropriate to go home and write the history of literature." ”
