Chapter 53 Sinan Pei spends money - the more the merrier
For a while, Si Nanpei, who said the name of the university on the earth, almost regretted his intestines, but fortunately, he didn't make any bigger moths.
After pretending to explain the familiarity of Pali University's model and touting the University's excellence, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a dry smile and shifted the subject.
"Are you studying metallurgy?" because of Shilmeria, Sinampei made such a guess.
"Metallurgy?" Pol laughed, chewing on the word, "we're more used to calling this kind of behavior alchemy." ”
Si Nanpei nodded and put on a stern look: "Actually, I originally wanted to find a few professors as assistants. But since you've asked for it, I don't think I can help but give you a chance. But before I decide to hire you, I have to do some tests on you. ”
Si Nanpei's words were actually pure nonsense, he didn't want to find a few old professors with white hair and trembling to go back - let's not talk about whether they were quick in their movements and quick thinking, just say that the rigid and wrong thoughts in their minds were not something that Si Nanpei could correct as a young man. The scientific knowledge of this era is really full of too many fallacies, so it is better to find a scholar who is rich than a few students.
Sinampei is also ready to design artillery and work part-time as a teacher. Limited by the current technical conditions, the artillery that can be cast is like that, and Sinan Pei is not ready to completely tie his whole life to this kind of boring work - design a few big killers that are half a step ahead of this era and let them go, he plans to do so.
"You can rest assured that the assessment is among the best in several of our colleges. The red-haired boy patted his chest and assured him that he already knew that his name was Tomvins Bonnet, a wealthy second generation from a family of cloth hat merchants.
"It seems...... Your enthusiasm seems to be high. Sinampei sighed.
In this era, the men who were sent to the university were often the non-firstborn sons of aristocratic and wealthy merchant families who could not inherit their ancestral inheritance, or the illegitimate children of dishonorable people, although it is somewhat sad to say, but they only came here for the purpose of staying in high society through guò in another form - note that most of the students here were still studying theology and literature and rhetoric, and the natural sciences were still unpopular, and even if they did graduate, the best result would be to stay in school for the rest of their lives, or become an advisor to someone. Of course, he can understand the behavior of the students in front of him who seek to improve - for a better future, he can only do his best and take advantage of the opportunity.
Obviously, designing artillery for the king was a good opportunity for them, a chance to get ahead.
However, for the sake of the smooth work of cannon casting, he decided to take a good look at these students.
In fact, Si Nanpei's final assessment is not as formal as the exam on earth, Si Nanpei just asked them about their basic knowledge and hands-on ability, and after examining their thinking ability, it was over. The result is quite satisfactory, after all, even if there are too many fallacies, their study is still systematic and scientific - I am afraid that I am afraid of the empiricism and naïve materialism like in the ancient Celestial Empire, and if I get involved in a bunch of yin and yang five elements and the like, I am afraid that I will go crazy. Fortunately, they already know how to analyze the problems thrown by Sinampei in a down-to-earth manner.
Now that it has been decided to hire these young people, Sinan Pei's next job is naturally to go through the relatively simple procedures with the academy.
However, an embarrassing thing arose at this time, because when Sinan Pei went to the academy to discuss the secondment of these students, he found that the person in charge of the academy was Aroue...... After negotiating these matters with Master Arue, Sinampei hurriedly ran out of his office.
The awkwardness in my heart has not been completely eliminated...... Sinan Pei shook his head with a wry smile and puffed up his chest.
"A dignified man, all these little things are entangled, hum!" smiled self-deprecatingly, and Sinampei, who said that he would do it, pulled Theresa and Shilmelia, and a few students who had just known him for a short time, ran to the king to ask for special funds and test sites. He originally wanted to rent a real room at the University of Parry, but after careful consideration, he abandoned the idea. On the one hand, the University of Parry is crowded with people and it is difficult to keep secrets, and on the other hand, because designing artillery is not like other real yàn, a small real yàn room is sufficient, but a large real yàn field is required. Obviously, this is not the case at the University of Pali.
When they arrived at the palace, Sinampe and the others gathered in the council chamber to wait for the king's arrival, while Theresa went on a rampage all the way, and the chamberlains all respectfully got out of the way and broke into the king's study—and then Theresa dragged the king to the throne of the council chamber—as if dragging a coolie to work.
The crowd didn't wait long in the chamber.
Sinampe and Shilmelia were no longer surprised, but several of the students were frightened enough by Theresa's actions. Fortunately, Henri Dieudonnay de Valoa was clearly not a nervous tyrant, and his posture on the throne was full of grace.
As the king, he was not surprised to know that Hillelia was in debt, and after a few jokes, he acquiesced to the fact that the girl had come to him for refuge, and the king did not care what reason she had used.
When several of the students saw the king, they were very frightened, and they knelt down and bowed, and lowered their heads. Only Si Nan Pei, when he knelt on one knee, raised his head high and looked directly at the king—he decided to change his haughty and confident demeanor in front of the middle-aged uncle, instead of being submissive—like a capable madman.
"Mr. Si, is there anything you are here for this time?" the king touched his chin and looked at Sinampe playfully—Sinampe didn't know that Theresa had refused a summons from the king herself.
"Money, space, materials - these are the things that are necessary for the work of casting guns, and I want to get to work immediately. Sinan Pei was straightforward, "Also, Your Majesty, I'm going to visit your cannon foundry to decide what kind of artillery I'm going to design." ”
"What do you mean?" the king frowned and tapped his finger on his iron throne.
"Whether the artillery is excellent or not depends not only on the designer, but also on the hardware facilities of the factory. "I need to know some specific circumstances to decide what kind of artillery to design." ”
"Good, young man. The king nodded, "So, how much money and materials do you need?"
"Naturally...... The more the merrier. Sinampei smiled.
