I hurriedly thanked Uncle Li: "Thank you father-in-law for not sinning, in fact, the most important thing is that the site is not regular, so the son-in-law designed the building according to the topography and the characteristics of the academy itself, and definitely did not deliberately embarrass the lords of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Well, that's fine, but, I heard the young slave say, are you going to run a school in the academy? This idea is fresh, it is really good, the old man once saw your "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" mentioned that Yingchuan Academy, although it is a place of escape for literati and wise men, but it also gathers the world's elites, the academy culture is prosperous, and the scholarship is second to none in the country. Thinking about this, it must be the thoughts and thoughts that the virtuous son-in-law has long had, right? ”

"Father-in-law, at that time, the son-in-law was just playing nonsense, and later, Fang Zi felt that this was also a way. Of course, the son-in-law does not dare to be arrogant, thinking that he can solve the doubts of others, in fact, it is entrusted by friends, and the son-in-law is busy with official business, it is impossible to explain and teach with others at one time and one place, so I thought of such a method, those who are willing to listen to the son-in-law's shallow views, can go to the academy to gather and hear, first, so that the son-in-law can be a little lazy, and second, it can also let everyone have the opportunity to discuss and make progress together. ”

I said this, but Uncle Li was quite appreciative: "Well, the idea of the virtuous son-in-law is indeed a bit insightful, so let's do it, the old man will not interfere in this matter, you do it slowly first, if it can be achieved later, it will not be a place for me to add another talent reserve to the Tang Dynasty, the old man has always been very optimistic about you, don't let the old man down." ”

"Thank you father-in-law for your leniency, my son-in-law will definitely work hard to do it well." Hearing Uncle Li's words, I was really relieved in my heart, so it's good, with Uncle Li's acquiescence, it is only a matter of time before the academy will stop.

At this time, Li Zhi opened his mouth and asked Uncle Li to put all the equipment workshops under the Datang Ministry of Industry, but all the workshops related to weapons, to the Wuyan Academy to form a more efficient Datang military preparation research and production group. “…… The concentration of all workshop personnel can not only help allocate manpower and working hours, but also systematically use existing resources to do more work, and after the unification, the flow operation method of our Datang Martial Arts Research Institute can also play a considerable role in helping. ”

Uncle Li listened to Li Zhi's suggestion and asked me what I thought about this aspect. The prince's words, the son-in-law also has this idea. And the son-in-law thinks that such a reform will not only benefit the court, but also the people. "I said respectfully to Uncle Lee.

------------------------------------------------ "Oh? What does that mean? Uncle Li became interested and asked me.

"In the Datang Martial Arts Research Institute, we have concentrated the top talents in the field of equipment manufacturing in Datang, and the minister is ready to divide it into the Martial Arts Research Institute, one is dedicated to the production of equipment, and the other is specialized in the research and development of newer, better and more ideal military and civilian equipment, such as the double-horse-drawn plough currently used in the Hetao of Liaodong in my Datang Dynasty, which is the work of the craftsmen and craftsmen of the Martial Arts Research Institute, and the same ......is true for bronze-tired artillery."

I introduced in detail to Uncle Li the new products that the Datang Martial Arts Research Institute has developed at this stage for the civil and military use of the Tang Empire, and the sample of the three-legged cocoon invented by Zhao Guo during the Han Dynasty has been reinvented by the craftsmen of the Wuyan Institute, which is one of the major inventions in agricultural machinery in ancient China.

All the functions of the modern latest seeder are only to complete the four processes of ditching, planting, mulching and compaction, while the three-legged cocoon in China more than 2,000 years ago has already connected the first three processes together and completed by the same machinery. The craftsmen are brainstorming the development of a multi-legged cocoon that also uses two horses for cultivation on the basis of the three-legged cocoon of their predecessors, so that the experiment can be successful, which is definitely a great innovation, at least, the land that originally required a lot of labor to cultivate can be done by only a few people.

If we can gather all the top skilled craftsmen in the Datang Ministry of Industry and professionally engage in development, I believe that success can definitely be expected.

"Is that really the case?" Uncle Li's eyebrows couldn't help but rise, and there was a look of surprise on his side: "Virtuous son-in-law, it seems that the old man handed over the Wuyan Institute to you at the beginning, and he really didn't see the wrong person, the double-horse-drawn plow can turn over the dry field, and if there is really a multi-legged cocoon, it can make the next few processes no longer require a lot of labor to be completed, according to this method, the development speed of my Datang Liaodong, Hetao and other places will inevitably increase, and I Datang will no longer have to worry about food shortages!" Good! The old man also heard that the virtuous son-in-law paid out of his own pocket to reward those skillful craftsmen, thinking that my Datang had developed better equipment, and I would not lose money to you. What else do you want, just say it. ”

"This ...... The son-in-law does have some ideas, and I hope that my father-in-law will consider it, and if the Martial Arts Research Institute can develop a good weapon for the benefit of the country and the people in the future, please ask my father-in-law to allow some false lords and some money and silk with these craftsmen who have made meritorious contributions to the country. I asked cautiously.

"Well...... Uncle Li touched his beard, pondered for a long time, tilted his head and looked at Li Zhi. What do you think, childish? ”

Li Zhi thought about it for a while, and Fang Zi answered Uncle Li's question: "Erchen thinks that the suggestion made by the master is not impossible, just give the virtual lord and some money and silk as a reward, which is really a good law, which can not only make the craftsmen have an upward momentum, but also will not increase the burden on the court, in addition, if the virtual lord can be implemented, it can also provide a new idea for my title system after the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Hehe, it's rare that you have such an opinion, well, okay, the old man will do his best to promote this, just as a kind of reward for the contribution made by the virtuous son-in-law to my Datang, what do you think?"

I stood up and bowed to Uncle Li to the end: "My father-in-law is wise, and my son-in-law is a craftsman for me, thank you for Your Majesty's grace." "I was greatly relieved in my heart, worthy of Uncle Li, wise and resolute, but everything that is beneficial to the country and the people, the quick decision, is indeed a little unexpected to me.

In the following days, Uncle Li met with many important officials of the court to discuss the feasibility of this matter in private, and finally in mid-July, this policy proposed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was announced to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

When the proclamator sent by Uncle Li came to the Wuyan Institute to announce this new policy, thousands of skilled craftsmen were full of praise for Uncle Li, the wise emperor, and many old craftsmen were in tears.

On September 10, the 21st year of ------------------------------------------------ Zhenguan, on the day after the Double Ninth Festival, at the moment when His Majesty the Tang Emperor, the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty Guoxue Sacrificial Wine, and the Tang Riding General clicked the scissors of the top figures of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Qujiang Academy finally officially began to operate.

As soon as the opening ceremony of the academy ended, all the benevolent and wise people who had already learned the news of the opening of the Tang Qujiang Academy from the newspapers and magazines half a month ago, whether they were the children of the gate valve family or the scholars of the poor family, and after Uncle Li and others disappeared, they all stepped into the gate of the academy impatiently, and under the guidance of the staff of the academy, they began to visit this academy that occupies an area and is about to catch up with the well-known comprehensive science and technology university in later generations.

There are as many as 12 library buildings in the academy alone, which are divided into literature, art, architecture, medicine, gewu, arithmetic and geometry, and so on. "In these twelve academies, the fourth and third floors are the places where books are stored, and the second and first floors are places to read, and in each building, there are nearly 800 seats for reading and reading, and in each building, there are at least dozens of books with the same content, in case someone borrows them, others can only stare dryly...... "I stood on the balcony, pointing out a corner of the academy for Uncle Li and others.

However, there were so many people pouring in today, not only did the first and second floors of the twelve buildings be crowded, but some people simply stood in the corridor outside the building with their books in their hands, or sat on the rest benches in the courtyard of the Tibetan Academy, and read with relish.

"Old man, look at today's posture, I'm afraid there are no less than 10,000 people here, right?" Uncle Li couldn't help but exclaim. I was surprised myself, and although I was confident, I didn't think that there would be so many people, well, it was a bit of a surprise.

"Twelve library buildings, tsk, it's really a big deal, bereaved to be a virtuous nephew, I'm afraid your collection of books here won't be less than 500,000, right?" Kong Yingda stood on the edge of the balcony and said with some emotion.
