After listening to Zhao Zheng's words, Li Guanqi didn't care, but continued to follow his own train of thought and said: "Your divine rocket can obviously shoot to a height of more than ten zhang, if you shoot flat, wouldn't it be even farther?" ”

Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "The gunpowder in the Shenji rocket has been improved by the grass people, although this gunpowder can shoot far, but the explosion power is actually very small, and it is more than ten zhang away, and there is no bow and crossbow on the battlefield, it is still useless." ”

Li Guanqi didn't expect that the cannons and muskets he fantasized about were still fantasies after all, and the reality was that the current gunpowder could not meet the needs of the war at all, but he still did not give up, and continued: "Since you can improve the ordinary gunpowder into the gunpowder used in the Shenji rocket, can you continue to improve it to increase its explosive power?" ”

Zhao Zheng said solemnly: "Of course you can, but if it's just me, it will take a long time." ”

"People are not a problem!" Li Guanqi didn't blink his eyes before he said, "I have already sent people to search for alchemists and all kinds of craftsmen all over the country, and these people will be under your control when the time comes." ”

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Even if you can research gunpowder that is powerful enough, there is another problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Li Guanqi asked as he stared at Zhao Zheng's eyes.

Zhao Zhengyi spread his hands and said: "The Shenji rocket is made of bamboo tubes, if the power of gunpowder is great......

"What do you mean, I understand!" Li Guanqi said with a smile on his face, "Among the craftsmen I sent people to search, naturally there are also blacksmiths. ”

Zhao Zheng looked at the mysterious smile on Li Guanqi's face, and said with a slight hairiness: "Your Majesty, can the grass people ask, what is Your Majesty looking for so many craftsmen for?" ”

Li Guanqi laughed and said, "I said it at the beginning. I'm going to give you some errands to do. ”

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty!" Zhao Zheng stood up and saluted and said.

Li Guanqi said solemnly: "Now that things are restless, I want you to help me improve the armor and equipment of the Great Cadre Sergeant, I hope you don't dislike me for being overusing you." ”

Zhao Zheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty pays attention to side affairs, and it is a matter of course that the grass people can share your worries for Your Majesty." Besides, the soldiers are also the major affairs of the country. How can it be said that it is overkill! ”

"Good!" Li Guanqi nodded happily and said, "With your words, I am relieved." I don't want you to put all your energy into the intrigues of officialdom. Therefore, I will not make you an official for the time being, I have set up a special armor research institute for you, you go to serve as the director, and the armor research institute is directly responsible to me! ”

"Armor Research Institute?" Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment.

"Yes!" Li Guanqi said with a smile, "As the name suggests, this is a place that specializes in the study of armor. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this armor is very important for soldiers! How. Don't you want to? ”

"Of course the grass people are willing! It's just that it takes people and money,......" Zhao Zheng muttered.

Li Guanqi smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about people, money and places, even the research direction of the first phase of your armor research institute, I have thought about it for you." I'm just waiting for you, the director, to take office! ”

"Huh?" Zhao Zheng didn't expect that Li Guanqi had already thought of everything for him, and he was stunned on the spot.

"What? Still not receiving the grateful? Li Guanqi said with a smile.

"Grass Folk ......"

"Huh? Also grass people? ”

"Huh? Thanksgiving! ”

The addresses of Jinling University and the Royal Military Academy have been chosen, just at the foot of the Purple Mountain, and the two schools are not far apart, because of Li Guanqi's attention and sufficient funds. As a result, progress has been made relatively quickly, and ground has begun to break ground on the school building. Students from both schools have also begun to recruit students from all over the country.

Li Guanqi also knows that the dissemination of information in this era is very inconvenient, and many people don't know what the benefits of going to these two schools are.

But Li Guanqi obviously underestimated his influence as an emperor, since the school began to recruit students. In just over ten days, Jinling University has enrolled nearly 1,000 students. Of course, most of these students are from Jiangnan Province, and most of them are children of rich families, which is even more unexpected for Li Guanqi. Most of these students still applied for mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other subjects that they had never heard of, but the Department of Economics did not receive many students.

Li Guanqi saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly announced: Students of Jinling University need to pay tuition, ten taels of silver per person per year, and take care of their own board and lodging, books and pens, and must complete the three-year school system stipulated by the school before they can graduate...... Only then did he barely stop the momentum.

In fact, many people don't understand why Li Guanqi wants to run this school, in fact, Li Guanqi also knows that people at this time have a very strong sense of hierarchy, and Shinong Industry and Commerce are not sloppy at all, so the ministers of the court and the central government will not agree to take money out to run a "miscellaneous" school. Fortunately, he still has a lot of money, which is enough for him to toss in a short period of time.

What really gave Li Guanqi a headache was the problem of teachers at school. It's easy to say, some of the ministers in the court are masters of Confucianism, and the emperor asked you to go to Jinling University to give lectures a few times a week, do you dare not go? But the question is, what about math, physics, chemistry, and law?

Li Guanqi realized that on a whim, he directly dug a pit for himself, and no one in front of him could share his worries, so he had to bite the bullet himself. Therefore, he has been writing words for the past few days -- he wants to sum up the knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and law in his head so that he can use it as a textbook for Jinling University.

However, when it was written that Li Guanqi was written, he found that it was not the same thing at all, although he graduated from college in his previous life, he was a liberal arts student, and now he is asked to write science textbooks, isn't this nonsense? Hey, if I knew that there was today, I should have paid more attention to it at that time, and it was better than lamenting the teacher's death now.

Therefore, after cleaning up everything in his head, Li Guanqi really felt embarrassed, and added the word "elementary" to the titles of the four books he had written, "Mathematics", "Physics", "Chemistry", and "Law".

Looking at the four thin textbooks in front of him, Li Guanqi didn't believe that he could teach the students he wanted just by relying on them. Therefore, he once again used his advantage as an emperor to recruit teachers for Jinling University from all over the country. (To be continued......)
