Chapter 149: University Hall

Before leaving, He Xi has time. Come and meet Zhu Xiongying. By the way, see where his hopes lie for the future.

Yingkou University Hall is on the edge of the Liao River. The area is huge.

After all, today's land is not valuable, and it is also because of the fact that high-rise buildings in this era are almost impossible. A one-story classroom for later generations. Now a large compound is needed. The reason why we want to be close to the Liao River is, on the one hand, the scenery of the Liao River. At the same time, it is also a water conservancy machine that can drive many machines.

Before the birth of the steam engine, how to make efficient use of water conservancy was the most important issue of this era.

In other words, even after the appearance of the steam engine for a long time, the use of water conservancy is also an existence that cannot be ignored.

He Xi stepped on the cinder road, listening to the familiar sound under his feet, which is the most road in eastern Liaoning. Cinder roads were not much different from dirt roads in later generations, but in this era, they were considered very advanced. Except for the stone road, the brick road, there is nothing better than the cinder road.

The biggest advantage of cinder roads is that they are not muddy on rainy days.

And the loess road, when it rains, turns into yellow soup. I can sink a wheel into the ground.

And the large-scale use of coal in eastern Liaodong will naturally have a large amount of cinder. It's also a waste utilization.

He Xi said: "What do you think, what's good?" ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "Mr. Anding, the world's great talent. His teaching method has been set an example for the ages, and it is a model for the world. When I go back, I will play the Emperor's grandfather and implement Mr. Anding's teaching method. ”

He Xi was slightly proud in his heart.

That's what you have to do in China. There is one thing that I have created originally. It is very likely to attract opposition, but it is much easier to say that an ancient person did such a thing. That's the one thing in front of you.

He Xi established Yingkou University, and naturally established a system of sub-disciplines.

But if he wants to convince the people below, there is still a little difficulty. So he had an idea, went back to flip through the book, and turned out one of Mr. Song Chusan, Mr. Anding, Hu Ming. This old gentleman was also very famous in the early Song Dynasty. However, there were too many famous people in history at that time. Not many people in the Hereafter will know about it.

However, Mr. Anding is committed to teaching, and Fan Zhongyan once studied under his tutelage.

He made a very important teaching reform, that is, he divided learning into two ways: the scriptures and the righteousness, and required students to study the scriptures and the righteousness of the scriptures at the same time. That is, military, water conservancy, criminal prison and other practical knowledge.

A lot of students have been trained.

There are not a few people who have a reputation.

He Xi has this predecessor as a match, and the method implemented in the university hall is to extend here, divided into basic and elective courses. This practice is naturally a number of disciplines, such as scriptures, mathematics, and so on. Electives are specific and practical subjects. That's what Yingkou University is now.

He Xi said: "Not bad. Song Confucianism died in the world with empty talk, and my generation naturally can't talk about the heart in case of trouble. It's already excellent that you understand that. ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "You don't have to tell me this, I'm not a Fang Master." ”

Speaking of which, Fang Xiaoru also gave Zhu Xiongying a lesson. It's just that Zhu Xiongying is a little confused about this period of study.

He Xi said: "Your Majesty summoned me back to Beijing, do you want to go back?" ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "Back to Beijing? ”

He Xi said: "Exactly. ”

Zhu Xiongying wants to return to Beijing. Because Nanjing is not only Jingshi, but also Zhu Xiongying's home. Children are like that. When I didn't leave home, I longed for the white clouds in the distance. But after leaving home, deep down, I was still homesick. What about just being homesick?

Many times, when a teenager steps out of the house, he can't go home.

Zhu Xiongying feels this way at the moment.

He sighed slightly and said, "If Grandpa Huang hadn't summoned me, I wouldn't have gone back." ”

He Xi was a little strange and said, "Why? ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "What are you going to do when you go back?" I saw you fighting in the ring with Teacher Fang, it's not like I haven't read the newspapers for the past six months, what usury, slaves, and so on. Anyway, a lot of things, a mess, if you go back this time, there must be something, and it's not a small matter. ”

"I'm not going to join in the fun."

"On the contrary, there are things here that I don't understand."

He Xi was impressed by Zhu Xiongying at this moment.

Zhu Xiongying, as the son of a dragon and a phoenix, is politically sensitive. He Xi is not surprised at all. But he could see the situation in Nanjing so clearly. It made He Xi a little strange. However, that's exactly what Zhu Xiongying said himself. It may not be good for him to go back at this time. It's better to be here.

He Xi asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?" ”

Zhu Xiongying said: "I don't know. A question if you can ask it. It's not far from solving this problem. I just can't say it now, and when I can, I'll definitely come and ask you. ”

He Xi felt that Zhu Xiongying's words were a bit like an adult, and said, "It's okay, but you'd better write a few letters and let me take them back." ”

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

-----

He Xi waited in Yingkou for several days, and King Yan rushed over from Changchun. I changed from a river boat to a sea boat, and I saw that the sky said hello and went to sleep. Only those who have asked those around them know. King Yan has already selected a place north of Changchun to build the first city.

This time His Majesty summoned him. King Yan never wanted to go.

But His Majesty has already given the order, what else can he say?

So, before leaving, he explained all kinds of things as he went. It's just that compared to He Xi, who has a complete team, there are many military generals in Changchun, but there are very few civil officials who can be adults. It was also Lian Zining who hurried over from Beiping and took over the stall. King Yan rushed over with confidence.

Otherwise, it will take a while.

Two days later, King Yan was relieved.

On this day, in the middle of the night, He Xi was on the boat, looking at the railing, but saw a bright light in the distance, coming and going suddenly, the brightest time, it was like a beating moon, and when the angle was wrong, it seemed to be a ray of light.

He Xi said: "Lighthouse? ”

King Yan said, "It should be." This is the largest Chengshanjiao lighthouse in Shandong. ”

He Xi turned his head and found that King Yan didn't know when he had arrived behind him. Blackheart turned around and saluted without mentioning it, and said, "How do you know that this is the Chengshanjiao Lighthouse?" ”

King Yan said, "Guess." Since the Ningbo Lighthouse, lighthouses have been built in various places over the years, even Tianjin, and a lot of them have been built. Of course, the most built is actually Liaodong. Calculate the range, the bearing, that is, the corner of the mountain. The lighthouse at the corner of the mountain is nine stories high and illuminates dozens of miles. Now all we can see is this lighthouse. ”

Chengshanjiao is the horn that goes deepest into the sea on the Shandong Peninsula because it protrudes into the sea. It seems to have affected ocean currents. The wind and waves are particularly strong in the area.

Among the maritime transport, there are many accidents here.

If you are carrying a heavy ship, you can naturally avoid it a little and go deep into the sea to bypass here, but for some small boats, it is not easy to do.

This is a hill corner where it is also necessary to build a lighthouse.

And the light is a whale oil lamp.

The whaling industry has also been prevalent only in Liaodong recently. However, it has brought a lot of benefits to Liaodong, originally He Xi whaled for meat, but now it is not, although the first whaling did not get ambergris. But after that, there was ambergris several times.

The portion is not much. But enough to earn back the cost of whaling.

Not to mention, the biggest harvest of whaling today is not whale meat. It's whale oil.

Whales have a lot of oil on their bodies, and this fat is very good for their faces. The brightness is very high. Compared to this blackened with kerosene, whale oil does not have this concern. It is also because of the high brightness. Nowadays, it is most suitable for lighthouses.

And the lights on the lighthouse are still designed from Liaodong.

It's a big bronze mirror. Concave mirrors. The whale oil lamp is placed in the middle, which can be used to light for miles and guide the ship to sail.

The lighthouse at the corner of the hill is the largest. The most conspicuous. In fact, from Liaodong to Guangdong, even small boats move along the coastline most of the time, there are lighthouses to guide the way, which greatly improves the navigation conditions.

It can be regarded as a major impact caused by He Xi after he came to this world.

He Xi said: "I didn't expect to see a lighthouse here? ”

King Yan said: "You don't know much about the things in the south in Liaodong. This is actually quite normal. I heard that Nanjing is also going to build a big lighthouse. ”
