After a brief opening ceremony, Jinling University officially began teaching. According to Li Guanqi's design, the first year students mainly studied the Confucian classics, Analects, Mencius, and Spring and Autumn; Taoist classics Tao Te Ching, Zhuangzi; There is also the enlightenment of mathematics, physics, chemistry and law.

Li Guanqi released Yang Bozheng, who had been confined at home, and was responsible for lecturing the Analects, although the old man had not yet turned a big corner, but he was still more willing to do this kind of errand, and he did not shirk it at the moment; Li Guanqi also found a few academically good scholars from the Hanlin Academy to lecture on Mencius and the Spring and Autumn Period.

As for the teachers of Taoist classics, they were all invited by Li Guanqi from all over the country with high salaries.

After all the calculations, Li Guanqi is the busiest, in addition to the enlightenment of the law, he can also ask Dongfang Rui to come over occasionally to substitute for the teacher, mathematics, physics and chemistry, he has to go into battle in person......

In addition to giving lectures in person, Li Guanqi has other things to consider. He wants to build Jinling University into a real institution of higher learning, and let students really have the ability to study advanced knowledge, so he can't rely on teachers to teach simply, but also let students cultivate by themselves. In order to achieve this goal, the library is indispensable, and only when there are sufficient texts can students learn from them and study the mysteries.

Although Li Guanqi had already issued an order to collect all kinds of classics across the country, the books at this time were all handwritten, and almost every book was unique, which could not meet the reading needs of students and was easy to cause losses.

Therefore, Li Guanqi began to think about printing early. In fact, at this time, there was already printing technology, but it was all engraving printing, so many books to engrave, how easy is it to say? If you accidentally engrave a wrong word, the whole page will have to be rebuilt. The book plates were piled up in more than a dozen houses of the printing workshop, and hundreds of workers worked day and night, and they could not carve a few books in a month.

Where can Li Guanqi stand this turtle speed? At this time, he didn't care about what others thought of him, so he directly said the idea of movable type printing.

But after listening to Li Guanqi's words, the old craftsman of the printing workshop returned a sincere smile and said, "Your Majesty! The idea of movable type printing is novel. But it's not easy to achieve. ”

"Why?" Li Guanqi was very puzzled.

The old craftsman said: "As Your Majesty said, this movable type printing is to carve out the commonly used characters first, and then when printing, then select the typesetting, then the workers need to know the characters." But we craftsmen are untouchables, where can we have the opportunity to read? Who would want to do such a menial job? ”

"I see!" Li Guanqi also knows that this kind of hierarchical concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is by no means something that can be changed by his own will, can this movable type printing really not be invented in his own hands?

He thought for a moment, then said, "I have a plan. A new type of work can be introduced, called skilled workers, who are not classified as lowly and have all the rights they deserve. I returned to the palace and immediately made an order. ”

To solve the problem of people, what to use to make movable type also needs to be considered. With the level of craftsmanship of this era, the lead movable type and typewriter of later generations must not be able to be made in a short time, and even if metal movable type can be made, the ink is not so easy to develop.

Li Guanqi vaguely remembered that Bi Sheng first invented clay type. However, the wear and tear of the clay type is very bad, and it will not take long to break. However, the wooden movable type is dense and uneven because of the grain of the wood. It has the disadvantages of stretching after being wet, uneven discharge, easy to stick to the drug, and inconvenient to remove, and it is not a very good material.

Fortunately, Li Guanqi was also a good guy who loved reading in his previous life, and he once accidentally read a book written by Wang Zhen, an agronomist in the Yuan Dynasty, "Making Movable Type Printing Calligraphy". Wang Zhen not only recorded in detail the manufacturing method of the new type of wooden movable type in the book, but also invented a kind of rotary typesetting frame, which changed the mode of finding words by people and changed to words, which greatly reduced the labor intensity of typesetting workers. Increased work efficiency.

"The wheels and axles are made out of light wood that look like round tabletops. The diameter of the wheel is about 7 feet, and the height of the wheel axle is about 3 feet. Wooden movable type is stored on the roulette wheel, which can rotate freely...... Put the wooden movable type in it according to the rhyme, and each rhyme and word are numbered in turn...... When typesetting, one person reported the number from the booklet, and the other person sat between the two roulette wheels, and turned the roulette wheel according to the number called to take out the movable type...... "Li Guanqi explained in detail to the craftsmen the structure of the rotary typesetting frame according to the memory of his previous life, although he knew what this thing looked like, but let him make it himself, he really didn't have that ability, and he was not a carpenter emperor like Zhu Youzhen.

While listening to Li Guanqi's description, the craftsmen drew sketches on paper. Li Guanqi took a look and found that it was exactly what he was thinking about, and he happily praised the craftsmen at the moment and ordered them to be rewarded.

In fact, the craftsmen are also full of admiration for Li Guanqi, they really can't imagine why Li Guanqi, who is the son of heaven, can come up with such an exquisite object, even the old craftsmen for many years also admire this design of the five-body throw. They can't explain it, they can only think that Li Guanqi is the true son of heaven and is born to know!

Shortly after the school opened, the Armor Research Institute was officially inaugurated. After Li Guanqi finished his lecture at Jinling University every day, he went to the Armor Research Institute, where there were already skilled craftsmen from all over the world, and he really threw himself down, followed the craftsmen every day to watch, and after reading it, he chatted and talked about everything - he had to understand what level the craftsmen's skills had reached at this time.

As the king of a country, when Li Guanqi was tinkering with the school, some ministers felt that he was a little unprofessional, but at least education was a century-old cause, and although the ministers were not very happy in their stomachs, they were not easy to say anything. Now seeing that Li Guanqi actually went to stay with a group of untouchables-craftsmen every day, even Qin Minzhong, Zhao Pu and several other central ministers couldn't look at it, and they all spoke out to persuade each other. However, Li Guanqi just laughed it off.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the end of the year, and on this day, Li Guanqi took Zhao Zheng to Jinling University with excitement on his face.

The students who had filled in the physics and chemistry applications at the time of admission were surprised that their principal, Li Guanqi, the current emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, had invited them to dinner with their teachers.

This is even more outrageous, if Lin Bai's imperial history knows about it, it is estimated that Li Guanqi's desk will have a lot of excerpts on his desk. (To be continued......)
