Chapter 267: Sensational
The carriage slowed down past the platform of the terminal Royal Roads University and slowly came to a halt. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Lu Chengqi and Zhang Zai in the carriage were talking happily, but they didn't feel that the carriage stopped.
When the attendant in the car came to report and asked Lu Chengqi to get off the car, he knew that he had arrived at the station. Lu Chengqi asked Zhang Zai to get off the carriage first, then jumped out of the carriage and asked casually: "How long has this carriage been going?" ”
The chamberlain said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, it will take more time to touch a cup of tea." "The ancients kept time, a cup of tea was about a quarter of an hour, a meal was about half an hour (the ancients paid attention to chewing slowly, probably because the food was coarser and more cellulose), a stick of incense was about two quarters of an hour (half an hour, generally speaking, this stick of incense refers to the incense that is generally offered to the ancestors, thinner and shorter), and a pot of wine is about an hour.
Hearing this, Lu Chengqi nodded. At a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour, it only takes 17 or 8 minutes to walk more than 30 miles, that is, a distance of about 15 kilometers, which is also good. And this gallop seems to be very smooth, there is no sense of bumps, Lu Chengqi is very satisfied with this.
And Zhang Zai, who was standing on the side, also looked at this luxurious carriage with interest. Zhang Zai has read a lot of books and is also very miscellaneous, but he has never seen such a carriage, but he vaguely feels that there are some characteristics of a carriage in the Qin Dynasty. But on the carriage, there are a lot of extremely ingenious places, and Zhang Zai doesn't know what to use.
Lu Chengqi saw Zhang Zai's very interested appearance, and said with a smile: "Mr. seems to be very interested in this carriage?" ”
Zhang Zai did not hide it, and praised: "Such a stable carriage, it is the first time that the grass people have seen it." I am fortunate to ride with His Majesty, which is really a happy thing in my life! ”
"If you like it, such a carriage, there will be no shortage of opportunities for my husband to ride in the future, because this gallop and carriage are jointly developed by the teachers and students of Royal Roads University." When Lu Chengqi talked about Royal Roads University, he said with pride.
Hearing Lu Chengqi talk about the place where he was going to work in the future, Zhang Zai became even more interested, carefully looked at the parts of the carriage, pointed to a piece of hardwood fixed on the carriage, and said, "Your Majesty, dare to ask what this is?" ”
Lu Chengqi noticed that on the wheels on both sides of the carriage, a piece of hardwood was installed on the wheel. Behind the hardwood, there is a hemp rope that passes through the cast iron hole and does not interfere with driving.
Isn't such a device just like the brake device of the bicycle of later generations? Lu Chengqi remembered that Tang Xun had told him before that it must have been installed after experiments and was indeed effective.
Lu Chengqi asked the attendant in the car, and sure enough, this was the brake device. As long as the hemp rope on the wheel is pulled and the hardwood is pulled, it can have a braking effect. The ingenuity of the ancients is really powerful, and it will not lose to future generations.
Lu Chengqi sighed with emotion, and then said to Zhang Zai: "Sir, Royal Roads University is different from the previous private school, academy, do you really want to go to teach?" ”
Seeing such an ingenious carriage, every detail of Zhang Zai showed ingenuity, and his heart was full of curiosity about these Royal Roads students, and he further inquired about the affairs of Royal Roads University.
When Lu Chengqi stated the purpose of Royal Roads University, Zhang Zai fell into deep thought. It is mainly trained in craftsmen and arithmetic, supplemented by medicine and natural science, and many of the students were illiterate. Such a student is very different from the student Zhang Zai imagined, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Lu Chengqi seems to be immersed in his own world, while depicting the future of Royal Roads University, while imagining the creativity of these students, he seems to be full of confidence in Royal Roads University.
After listening to Lu Chengqi's narration, Zhang Zai asked cautiously: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, don't these students learn the books of sages?" ”
Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Learn, of course learn." It's just that there are few teachers, and only Mrs. Yang is concurrent. If you have the help of Mr., the burden of the master will be less. ”
Zhang Zai suddenly realized, Lu Chengqi was still a little ashamed. Although the students he recruited were all very smart, most of them had a skill. But almost all of them are illiterate, and Professor Yang Daoqi does not teach the way of sages, or teaches them to read and write. As for reading the books of the sages, it is not excluded that some students will read them themselves, but if it is a university professor, it is impossible. This is also related to Lu Chengqi's previous views.
Previously, Lu Chengqi believed that Confucianism was just a thing that imprisoned people and was not worth learning. But after reading through the Confucian classics, Lu Chengqi found that he was very wrong. Confucianism is eternal, because it tells about the laws of heaven and earth, and it is a book that will never go out of style. Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said righteousness. It is to achieve harmony in oneself, harmony with the people around us, and thus harmony in the family and the country. There is a great truth in this, and great wisdom is hidden in it. In later generations, many people mistakenly thought that China had no faith, but in fact, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, which one is not faith?
Lu Chengqi said a lie, but he just wanted to make Zhang Zaian feel at ease, and there was no malicious intent. Lu Chengqi also understood at this moment that a person does not have the corresponding morality, and the greater the ability he masters, the more destructive he will be. Confucianism happens to be the idea that allows a person to self-cultivate and self-reflect, which is suitable for educating all people. Since Royal Roads University has become a university, although the source of students is not good, it can be wide in and strict in and out, and it will naturally be able to cultivate excellent talents. Outstanding talents, not only professional skills must be excellent, but also learn to be a person.
Lu Chengqi asked Zhang Zai to be a lecturer, naturally because he liked his doctrine and talked about the truth of being a man and learning.
Because of the time, the waiter turned the carriage again, and after entering the gallop through the groove, Lu Chengqi and Zhang Zai took the tram again and returned to the north of Chang'an City.
Because of telling a white lie, Lu Chengqi seemed a little uncomfortable at the moment, and he could avoid the matter of Royal Roads University, but just asked Zhang Zai to teach these students more about the way of sages, so that they could truly become talents.
When I returned to Chang'an City North Station, the people of Chang'an City, who had been waiting for a long time, and the people of Jingzhao Mansion who rushed to hear the news were boiling. Such a boil, after Lu Chengqi and Zhang Zai got off the car, it reached a sensational situation.
Lu Cheng's opening proved that this railroad carriage is fast, comfortable and safe!
With the emperor personally advertising, this is a gallop, and it is difficult not to be popular!
The shrewd businessman has begun to find a way to ask when he will be able to build the gallop road through Jingzhao Mansion. The scholars who came to watch the ceremony were very shocked by Lu Chengqi's solemn reception of the scholars who had not even achieved fame.
How can this piece of morality make Lu Chengqi so polite and virtuous? Even if he is the first assistant of the cabinet, he may not be so respectful to the little emperor, right? Riding in the same carriage with the emperor, or the steel gallop road built for the first time in history, who can achieve such a holy grace?
Just rely on the few "bullshit" words that Zhang Zai said? The scholars present were very disdainful, none of them could say these words, why did Zhang Zai become a saint and a sage, but they were not appreciated?
Since ancient times, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Zhang Zai did not have fame but was able to get the title of a sage, and many scholars were not convinced, so that the next thing caused a sensation in Dashun. (To be continued.) )
