Xu Xiake was moved by Li Chaosheng's words, and was willing to join Lantian Academy to teach, Li Chaosheng raised his hands to agree to Xu Xiake's joining, after all, this is a very famous guy, and his knowledge is far beyond ordinary people.

After eating, Xu Xiake hoped that Li Chaosheng could give him the globe as a gift, Xu Xian saw that Xu Xiake liked this thing so much, so he did not refuse, because he still had official business in the afternoon, he asked Gu Zi to take Xu Xiake into Lantian Academy, find the principal Li Chaowen, and arrange the dormitory and related matters of entry.

Xu Xiake followed Gu Zi, and there were two more people from the guard squad behind him, and the two of them carried the globe and drove the carriage to Lantian Academy.

Lam Tin College is currently divided into Lam Tin University College, Lam Tin Middle College, and Lam Tin Elementary College.

Lantian Primary College was established in the town, and the teaching staff was not good at learning in the past two years, but the character was strong and the lower grade students were served, and the upper grade and the middle grade were all taken away by the government secretary and the army, they had to take on the important task of their Lantian construction, and the lower grade students could not be wasted, they had to serve as the important task of enlightening the children of Lantian school.

The primary college is based on the village and town, recruiting school-age children to study, the child has studied for three years, the basic text, arithmetic knowledge is almost the same, you can take the primary college unified examination, the small college unified examination has passed, you can enter the middle school, but those who are willing to stay in school can be used as a teacher's assistant, help the teacher teach the students, the assistant can be a regular teacher for two years, can be turned into a trainee teacher, in two years, you can be sent to other places as a primary college teacher.

Those who pass the examination enter the graduate school, and those who do not pass the examination can enter the major workshops in Lantian, or the more professional units and become skilled workers, or there is a lack of lieutenant chiefs in some places, and the militia captain and the like can be served.

Those who are admitted to the graduate school can obtain the qualification to study with the teachers of the major colleges, as well as the qualification to enter the most important place of the Blue Sky College, the Lantian Library, to consult precious materials, it is said that the Lantian Library, the world's most complete knowledge, anyone, including the teachers of the college, can learn the knowledge given by God in it.

The students who come out of the graduate school will become the leaders of the major systems in Lantian, and those who are politicians can enter the center to work for a few years, and then go out to start from the middle and the inside, and those who want to go out will start with a long.

Those who study medicine will become doctors at the Lantian First People's Hospital, which is being established in Lantian, where advanced medicine is studied, and it is said that the treatment is also the top.

At present, there are several major research institutes in Lantian, including the Steam Research Institute, the Social Application Invention Research Institute, and the Military Industry Institute, which is the largest Lantian Arsenal in Lantian behind the Military Industry Institute, which can be said to have a bright future, and there are various research institutes waiting to be opened in the future.

Gu Zi introduced Lantian to Xu Xiake's policy system, Xu Xiake listened very carefully, and after listening, Xu Xiake asked in surprise: "In Lantian's official system, there are no Ming scholars?" ”

Gu Zi heard this and thought for a while: "The county lord said, the new world can't tolerate the old literati, those rancid sour Confucians, we don't want Lantian." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Xiake's mouth couldn't help twitching, the old literati, sour Confucian.

Gu Zi seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, and couldn't help laughing: "Sir, don't get me wrong, Mr. is definitely not an old literati and a sour Confucian, after all, our county can invite Mr. to teach, which means that Mr. must have a ravine, not those Confucian students can compare." ”

Xu Xiake's heart calmed down a little when he heard this, and he sighed with emotion: "The county lord wants to open up another road outside the imperial examination at this time, and the degree of hardship is self-evident. ”

Gu Zi heard this and said: "The hardships are a little harder, but Mr. has seen the prosperity of Lantian along the way." ”

Xu Xiake said: "I saw it, it is no worse than Jiangnan, and it is more angry than Jiangnan." ”

Gu Zi said: "That's right, if you can govern the barren Guanzhong like Jiangnan, it means that this set of methods is feasible, as long as the scale is slowly expanded in the future, it will always change the world, just like my county respect, a spark can start a prairie fire." ”

"The spark of the spark can set the prairie on fire, and the county respects the mind, and the old man is impressed."

I drove a carriage to the Lantian Academy on the outskirts of Lantian City, although it is located in the suburbs, but the prosperity is comparable to that in the city, and there is an endless stream of vendors around, selling and selling, and Xu Xiake is amazed to see it.

Gu Zi said: "This is the Lantian Academy specially built by my county, and the shops in this neighborhood are also approved by the county, and the business is very good, supporting many people." ”

Xu Xiake said: "The place of teaching, full of copper smell? ”

Gu Zi said: "Mr. is pedantic, why does the copper smell, these lands and shops are all owned by the county government, and part of the tax generated every year is subsidized to the academy as a scholarship for students in difficulty, and some are sent to the Ministry of Finance to contribute to Lantian County, which is a great thing, where does the copper smell come from." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiake asked with a puzzled expression: "Scholarship?" ”

Gu Zi said: "Oh, our Lantian Academy is a meritocracy, and we will not prevent students from studying because their families are not good and they can't afford to pay tuition, but on the contrary, they will give money to encourage them." ”

"For example, the champion of the scientific research institute who graduated last year, the family is extremely poor, the family of eight, a sick old mother, the father died early, and he pointed to the two acres of thin fields at home to survive, so he often skips school, goes home to take care of the crops, takes care of his younger brothers and sisters, and the head of the college applied for a special scholarship after understanding the situation, a subsidy of two taels of silver per month, although it is not a lot, but their family is no longer worried about having enough to eat, and the sick mother can also be treated, and he also puts his mind on studying, Now he has become an important member of Mr. Song Yingxing's scientific research institute, and will be the main scientific researcher of Lantian in the future. ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiake said with a sigh: "Such a great goodness." ”

Gu Zi pointed to these merchants at this time and said: "Mr. Xu, these shops feed the families of these merchants, and at the same time take out money to support the students who are studying, and at the same time, some of the money has become the fund for the development of Lantian. ”

Xu Xiake listened to this and looked at the grain, and then said with a smile: "It was the old Meng Lang just now, and now it seems that this place is not only not full of copper smell, but on the contrary, there is a fragrance that refreshes people's hearts." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi and Xu Xiake looked at each other and laughed, Xu Xiake laughed at Gu Zi's careful eyes, and Gu Zi laughed because Xu Xiake was quick to admit his mistake.

Passing through the commercial street, followed by a magnificent college built of cement, the college is engraved with a few big characters: Lantian Academy.

The simple five words reveal that it is not simple, because there is still a company of troops armed with firearms stationed on the periphery of Lantian Academy.

Xu Xiake couldn't help but be surprised when he saw these soldiers, Gu Zi said: "This is the school guard company, which is mainly responsible for the safety outside the school courtyard, even if thousands of troops are killed in them, they can also protect the safety of the school's students and teachers." ”

Xu Xiake said: "The students are so unsafe? ”

Gu Zi said: "Actually, they are safe enough, but the county always feels that they are not safe, and the county says that they are the future flowers of Lantian, don't let the flower thieves rob them."

"Oh, hahaha, the county is funny."

Xu Xiake said, at this time, Gu Zi and Xu Xiake had already arrived at the door, and then the captain of the soldiers immediately led someone to stop Gu Zi and said, "Documents." ”

Gu Zi returned the salute: "Fortunately." ”

Xu Xiake was surprised to find that the soldier captain was missing an arm, and the soldiers around him looked to have several disabilities, as well as obvious scars on their bodies.

Gu Zi took out his documents, the soldier captain let him go, and before leaving, the soldier captain asked, "Is the division commander okay lately?" ”

Gu Zi nodded and said, "Yes, I can eat and drink, I ate three big steamed buns at noon today." ”

The captain of the soldier grinned, followed by a salute, "Good all the way." ”

Gu Zi left with Xu Xiake, and at this time, the students behind him also came one after another, and they had to check their documents at the door, and they respected the soldiers.

Xu Xiake was surprised when he saw it: "This soldier captain, very promising?" ”

Xu Xiake heard this and said: "The third-level combat hero, who shed blood for the county in the past, and now guards the future for the county honor, is a respectable person." ”

Hearing this, Xu Xiake knew that the soldier captain was a person with a story, and the group of people behind him seemed to be people with a story.

"The crippled soldier with him behind him."

"Those are the people who shed blood for the county zun, and then they were injured, the army couldn't stay, they were going to go home to farm, but the county zun didn't agree, they had to keep them, and they had to take care of their food, so they became the guards of the school, the guards of the factory, and the guards of the caravan, although they were injured, their combat effectiveness was still not weak, and they could still contribute to Lantian."

Hearing this, Xu Xiake sighed: "No wonder I heard that the Lantian soldiers are not afraid of death, and they can see the leopard in the tube." ”

Xu Xiake sighed, and Gu Zi said: "What Mr. said is right, the county respects everyone sincerely, how can we live up to the county, sir, please." “

Xu Xiake said, and the two continued to walk inside.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

As soon as the two of them walked towards the academy, they saw two people in front of them running over in a steaming big teapot, the big teapot was steaming, and there were four wheels underneath, which were driving forward at this time.

Rampage, there are still people on the big teapot, at this time holding a big bamboo pole in his hand, wearing a thick cotton sleeve, with a cotton hat on his head, at this time running in a clearing, and the millet They just entered the clearing, then the two found that there is a sign in the distance that says test site, please detour, thank you for your cooperation.

"Crutches!"

At this time, the people in the car shouted, followed by the people in the car holding a big bamboo pole to support the ground, with a force, the big teapot rolled over on its side, the people in the car fell down, and the very experienced rolled on the ground twice and stopped, and did not suffer any serious injuries.

At this time, a group of people ran up, looked at the overturned teapot and said, "No, this steam car can't turn around by driving a boat, let's find another way." ”

"yes, yes."

Several people got together and exchanged ears, and then someone said: "We can let the big teapot run according to the prescribed track, just like the carriage in the mud pit, there will be a force to fix the carriage and let the carriage run on the fixed track." ”

"That's a way, run a fixed track."

A few students said, at this time a teacher came over and said: "Well, this test is quite successful, if you continue to add coal, this machine can run all the time, record the experimental data, as for the problem of turning, you are right, you can set up a track, then it is a train, there is a corresponding atlas in the library, you can refer to it." ”

"But this is a turn on the road, everyone also has to study, the suggestion I gave is that you can use gears, directly control the wheel, so that you can turn while sitting in the car, you go back and divide into two groups, study separately, in addition, this steam engine still has a lot of room for improvement, such an effect will not make the county satisfied, everyone go back and continue to study."

"Yes, Teacher."

At this time, a group of students bowed down and said.

At this time, the teacher turned to look at Guzi and said, "Yo, Guzi, why are you here?" ”

Gu Zi said with a smile: "Bring a teacher to the academy, this is Xu Xiake, Mr. Xu, the geography teacher of the academy." ”

At this time, the teacher smiled and said, "Hello Mr. Xu, I am under Song Yingxing." ”

The teacher nodded, the two greeted each other, and followed Song Yingxing and said, "Mr. Xu, let's get busy, I still have two topics to see, so I won't stay long, and I will invite Mr. to drink another day." ”

After saying that, Song Yingxing hurriedly left, Xu Xiake looked at Song Yingxing who was walking away, and then saw a group of students struggling to pick up the big teapot and said, "This is?" ”

Gu Zi said: "Mr. Song's research topic, steam engine. ”

"Then you don't need a horse for this thing?"

Xu Xiake asked, Gu Zi said with a smile: "What kind of steam engine is used with a horse, no, no, and I heard the county zun say that if this thing is studied, it can drag tens of thousands of catties of heavy objects, and it will replace the carriage in the future and become the main tool for pulling goods." ”

"It's so amazing?"

Xu Xiake's eyes widened, and Gu Zi smiled: "Well, our county never brags." ”

Xu Xiake nodded, followed and continued to follow Gu Zi to the academy, and then walked inside, Xu Xiake found that he had become Grandma Liu and entered the Grand View Garden, hey, at this time, Grandma Liu's grandmother didn't seem to have given birth yet.

Anyway, it's just that the eyes are not enough to see, all kinds of shocking world-shattering, girls eating with skulls, students running to the laboratory with a bunch of moldy things, and all kinds of whimsical ideas, Xu Xiake swears that if this is absolutely deviant in other places in the Ming Dynasty, it seems to be normal here.

And Xu Xiake also came to the principal's office at this time, the principal Li Chaowen cordially received Xu Xiake, and arranged the residence, arranged the classroom, from this moment Xu Xiake officially became the teacher of Lantian Academy, teaching geography, mainly including the explanation of mountains and rivers, human features, geological exploration, plant division and so on.
