Chapter 69: Seungkyo University

"That's right, this is the first generation of our Xingjing steam train, we will continue to improve it in the future, my lord and I will go to the train to see how it is." Zhou Xian invited.

Teng Haoran had long wanted to get on the train to see the steam train, and hurriedly said, "Okay, good!" ”

Then he followed Zhou Xian to the train, and the train made a "woo woo" sound again, and everyone knew that the train was going to leave, so they walked on the carriage one after another.

The train began to move slowly again, and after a big circle, the train began to move slowly in the direction of Xingjing.

Teng Haoran began to be a little disappointed when he saw the speed of the train, this train was good or too slow.

When ten minutes later, the train started to move completely, Teng Haoran was also a little nervous when he looked out the window again, and said in his heart how this train was running faster and faster.

Zhou Xian saw Teng Haoran's nervousness, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, adults, this train is very safe." ”

"This train is good, it can fit thousands of people at a time and still run so fast, it's really a treasure." Teng Haoran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that the train is a treasure, the role of the train is too great, if all the places in the Ming Dynasty are built on the railroad tracks, through the train, then our travel will be much more convenient." Zhou Xian imagined.

"All places are connected to the train?"

Teng Haoran and Master were shocked by Zhou Xian's words and gasped, they didn't dare to think of this kind of thing.

Then everyone stopped talking, and they all looked intently at the scenery outside the window.

The news of the appearance of the train in Xingjing was like having wings, and it soon spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and countless people came to see the train every day.

The brave people got on the train and felt the speed of the train.

The name of Xingjing also spread throughout the Ming Dynasty with the appearance of the train, and everyone was full of curiosity about this Xingjing.

They don't know what kind of place it is, but it is incredible that they can make a cart that does not need oxen and horses, and can seat more than 1,000 people, and still run fast.

In some places, some people even say that Xingjing's train is huge, can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and can fly, and all kinds of rumors have spread along with the train and Xingjing.

Zhou Xian accompanied Teng Haoran to take a train and returned to the mansion, and Zhou Fugui also returned to the mansion.

After sitting down in the main hall, Zhou Fugui said: "President, the food factory has been arranged, and there are three hundred workers. ”

"Then let's go to the food factory now, and I'll teach them how to make food."

After saying that, he stood up and walked outside the house.

The two soon came to the food factory, the workers were sitting together chatting and resting, and when they saw Zhou Xian and the two coming, the workers gathered one after another.

At this time, Zhou Xian saw that a middle-aged woman in her thirties who was a little thin was also in the crowd, she was Zhou Fugui's wife Yang Jie.

"Aunt Yang, why are you here?" Zhou Xian said in surprise.

"President, I asked Yang to manage the food factory, and she is idle at home every day." Zhou Fugui explained.

"Then Aunt Yang will be the director of the food factory, and the affairs of the food factory will trouble Aunt Yang in the future." Zhou Xian nodded and said with a smile.

"President, I don't know how to be a factory director, so let someone else do it." Yang Jie shook his head and said.

"Aunt Yang, you have done it, there is no big technical problem in the food factory, there is only one requirement, that is, safety and hygiene, I think Aunt Yang is a meticulous person, and it is too suitable to be a food factory." Zhou Xian said categorically.

"President Xie can afford it, and I will definitely manage the food factory well to ensure the safety and hygiene of food." Yang Jie saw that Zhou Xian had made up her mind, so she didn't postpone it anymore.

"Okay, today I'm here to teach you how to make a few kinds of food." Seeing that Yang Jie agreed, Zhou Xian nodded and said to everyone.

Next, Zhou Xian taught the production methods of instant noodles, canned food, compressed biscuits and other foods to everyone present through a mysterious ball of light.

"Presumably everyone has learned how to make these foods, and then everyone will work hard to prepare enough food for the soldiers of the Zhou family army who are about to go to the war." Half an hour later, Zhou Xian spoke.

The workers replied in unison: "Yes, we will definitely hurry up and produce." ”

"Okay, then I won't delay everyone, everyone will go to their own posts to prepare."

After speaking, Zhou Xian and Zhou Fugui left the food factory.

Back at the mansion, Zhou Xian said: "Uncle Zhou, our Xingjing University is going to start preparing to recruit students, this time we will give priority to recruiting literate people, there is no age limit, you go and arrange publicity." ”

Zhou Fugui agreed and went down to make arrangements.

The next day, word spread that Seikyo University was going to recruit students.

Students who go to study at Xingjing University will receive food and lodging, a silver subsidy of one or two a month, and a job assignment after graduation.

This kind of good news is rapidly spreading to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and people from all over the country who claim to be a little literate are immediately preparing to pack their bags and rush to Xingjing.

Because it is a university, this time the admission test is required, and only those who pass can be admitted.

Ten days after the news was announced, Seungkyo University began its admission exams.

This time, more than 4,000 people took the exam, and only 2,000 passed.

For those who did not pass, the school said that they still had two more chances to take the exam, and let them stay in Xingjing and wait for the next exam.

These people who come to Xingjing are attracted by the steam trains and high-rise buildings of Xingjing, and they all hope that they can stay in this magical place of Xingjing.

The 2,000 people who passed were arranged to stand on the large playground of the school, and Zhou Xian stood on a high platform.

Looking at the first batch of students of Xingjing University below, Zhou Xian said: "First of all, congratulations to everyone for becoming the first batch of students of Xingjing University, we don't study the Four Books and Five Classics at Xingjing University, we only learn the subjects that are useful to us, if anyone opposes or doesn't like it, you can stand up now." ”

Hearing Zhou Xian's words, there was a commotion among the people below, and soon more than a hundred people stood up.

One of them said, "I studied to gain fame, and I can't give up the Four Books and the Five Classics." ”

More than a hundred people next to him agreed.

"The Tao is not the same, we don't need to read the Four Books and the Five Classics in Xingjing University, let's go." Zhou Xian said with a serious expression.

"This kind of trick and ingenuity, don't learn it!"

"That is, what is the use of such a discipline that seeks the last thing?"

Everyone looked displeased and left Xingjing University directly.

After the more than 100 people left, Zhou Xian said to the students below: "I'm glad that so many people stayed, you will definitely be proud and proud of your decision today in the future." ”

Looking at the students below who did not respond enthusiastically, Zhou Xian continued: "The purpose of our Xingjing University is to let more people learn the truth of this world and let more people see the truth of this world!" I know you don't understand what I mean right now, but I'm sure you'll understand one day. ”

Next, it began to let the students choose their own colleges, and Zhou Xian arranged the registration locations of various colleges on the playground, and students went there to register if they wanted to go to that college.

Seungkyo University is divided into 12 colleges, including the School of Chemistry, the School of Physics, the School of Mathematics, the School of Astronomy, the School of Biology, the School of Electric Power, the School of Medicine, the School of Military Affairs, the School of Political Science and Law, the College of Agriculture, the School of Architecture, and the School of Metallurgy.

After a few hours of registration, the number of people in each college has been counted, and the largest number is the School of Chemistry and the School of Physics, both with more than 400 people signing up.

The smallest number of people is the Academy of Astronomy, with only twelve people signing up, this is because in the feudal dynasty, astronomy was only observable by the royal family, and ordinary people could not study astronomy, which led to very few people who liked astronomy in the Ming Dynasty.
