Chapter 6 Practice
Several large carts were full, and under the guidance of soldiers and officials, they drove in the direction of the east side of the warehouse.
"Stop! What's in the car? โ
Wei Liaoweng frowned and asked loudly.
"Gong Wei, the car is loaded with teaching materials for the martial arts hall. It's just been printed, and it's going to be pulled to the storeroom. โ
"Textbooks?"
Wei Liaoweng's heart moved, and he strode over.
"Grab a few and I'll take a look!"
Speaking of which, as the vice principal of Jinling Jiangwutang, he has not read the textbooks, and he is usually in charge of Tian Yi and Li Tang, as well as the bachelors of the academy.
The officer with the car instructed the coachmen to move down a few boxes of books, and Wei Liaoweng picked up one in his hand, but it was a geography book. Wei Liaoweng opened, the first chapter is the geography of China, the sketch is clear, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are vivid, and it seems that the printing quality is good.
Wei Liaoweng cheered up and watched.
"China is located on the west coast of eastern Asia, the Pacific Ocean. The territory is vast, with a land area of tens of millions of square kilometers (note: one kilometer is equal to two miles, and the standard distance is one kilometer). China's topography is high in the west and low in the east, and it is distributed in a stepped manner. The mountainous and plateau areas are vast. The distance between east and west is more than 5,000 kilometers, and the coastline of the mainland is more than 20,000 kilometers, and the precipitation climate is changeable......"
It turns out that China is so vast.
Wei Liaoweng nodded, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly watched carefully.
Horizontally, from left to right, punctuation marks have been added.
Punctuation marks existed in ancient China, but they were not commonly used or standardized. In texts, punctuation is mostly not used. These essays use punctuation, and they are so formal that they seem to be less troublesome than reading and hyphenating.
However, the articles in ancient books are arranged vertically, from right to left, which is very different from the horizontal row on the textbooks, from left to right.
"That one is...... National documents? โ
After receiving the national documents handed over by the official, Wei Liaoweng opened them, and sure enough, like the geography book, they were all arranged horizontally, from left to right. He flipped to a page, and sure enough, there was an introduction with punctuation:
"Punctuation, a written symbol used to indicate the pronunciation and tone of a sentence. Punctuation marks include labels and dots
Punctuation marks are symbols that aid the written language and are an integral part of the written language, used to indicate pauses, tone, and the nature and function of words. โ
Wei Liaoweng's heart was shocked, and he continued to watch.
"Period: full stop (. ), question mark (?) ), exclamation mark (!) ), comma (,) tonne (,), semicolon (; ) and colon (:).
Designators: quotation marks (""''), parentheses [()[]{}], dashes (โโ), ellipses (...... ), emphasis (.), book title number ("" ............"
Wei Liaoweng put down the national papers and secretly exclaimed.
The emperor's articles are unique in the country, and even in this literacy and hyphenation, it is also unyielding.
These punctuation marks make the article more vivid and interesting, making it easier for readers to understand and remember. Once it comes out, it won't be long before it will become popular all over the world, and it will also set off a revolution in books.
"Gong Wei, this punctuation is good, the article reads catchy, and even those scholars in the academy are full of praise. Even better, His Majesty uses Arabic numerals and letters in his math textbooks, not to mention how convenient! โ
The words used by the Great Song Academy to govern, edict, pardon, edict, national letter and palace prohibition are all literary masters. This time, they edited the teaching materials of the lecture hall, added punctuation marks, and produced a lot.
However, as the actual compiler of history, geography, firearms, queues, including mathematics, etc., the emperor was the one who took the greatest credit.
"Mathematics? Take a copy and I'll take a look! โ
Wei Liaoweng was immediately interested.
"Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6......, 250 is two hundred and fifty, and 1314520 is one hundred and three hundred and forty-four thousand five hundred and twenty......
Common mathematical symbols include: plus sign "+", minus sign "-", multiplication sign "ร", division sign "รท", equal sign "=", approximately equal to sign "โ", less than or equal sign "โค" ......;
a, b, and c denote constants; For example, the Pythagorean theorem: aยฒ+bยฒ=cยฒ, where a and b represent right-angled ...... respectively;
x, y, z represent variables; For example, if the area of a rectangle is 864 square meters, the width is 12 meters less than the length, and the length can be set to x meters when finding the length, and the column formula x*(x-12)=864............"
Wei Liweng closed the book, sweating profusely. He stayed for a moment, put the book back, waved his hand, and the coachmen put the basket and drove the carriage away.
"Gong Wei, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Liaoweng was in a trance, sweating, Zhang Zhongshu shouted softly on the side, Wei Liaoweng woke up like a dream, and then woke up.
"It's fine!"
Wei Liaoweng shook his head and suddenly asked:
"Gu Jian Zao, the uniforms of the instructors and students of the lecture hall, as well as the school flag and school emblem, are they all ready?"
"Back to Wei Gong, the garment factory and shoe factory are rushing to make it, and it will probably be completed in two or three days."
Gu Jianzao replied, Wei Liaoweng nodded, and relaxed slightly.
The garment factories and shoe factories were all government-run, but the tailors and craftsmen were employed by the people. The styles and requirements of clothing and boots were given by the Ministry of War, and the emperor agreed to produce them.
He touched all over his body, found a few pages of the list, and immediately opened them and read them.
"Liu Langzhong, the warship has been renovated and the artillery has been installed? Has the Trojan moved to the Guards Ma Junji? โ
"Back to the Duke of Wei, three warships were renovated, each equipped with ten guns, which was enough for temporary use. New ships are being built in the future, and they will be able to be completed in June. The Trojan horse has been installed in the Guards Horse Army, and all the trenches, shooting ranges, and war horses have been prepared. โ
Liu Langzhong's confirmation made Wei Liaoweng feel relieved and let out a breath of turbidity.
The preparation is not far from ten, and finally has an explanation to the emperor.
Artillery, earth-shattering thunder, Trojan horses, and all kinds of military training equipment......
Cavalry Section, Infantry Section, Naval Division, Medical Section......
School flag, school song, school emblem, school uniform, school motto......
For the country and the people, sacrifice and dedication......
Thinking of Zhao Hong's details, it was simply heaven and earth, Wei Liaoweng said with emotion.
"Your Majesty's erudition is shocking!"
When it comes to miscellaneous science, when today's son says that it is the second, no one dares to call it the first.
"Your Majesty is not only erudite, but simply omnipotent!"
Zhang Zhongshu was also full of admiration.
From poems and songs, smelting iron and honeycomb coal, to soap and soap, firearms and gunpowder, and then to today's Jiangwutang University Hall, as well as punctuation marks, mathematical symbols and formulas......
It seems simple, but in fact, it is difficult to break through any step.
His gaze inadvertently looked at the location of the gate of the Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and was slightly startled.
"Duke Wei, a few upstarts from the current dynasty are here!"
Wei Liaoweng retracted his mind and turned his head, and several Zhu Zi officials rushed in and bowed to Wei Liaoweng.
"Wei Xianggong, everyone, it's been a long time!"
"Wei Xianggong, everyone, hard work!"
Wei Liaoweng smiled and hurriedly bowed.
"Wang Xianggong, Hu Xianggong, fortunately."
The other officials present also saluted the two officials together, with envy, jealousy and hatred in their eyes.
The two people who came were the two new members of Jiangnan East Road in the imperial court, one was Wang Gang, the envoy of Jiangnan East Road and the prefect of Jiankang Mansion, and the other was Hu Mengyu, the head of the Consulate General of Jiankang Mansion. Both of them are hot people in the dynasty, Jane is in the emperor's heart, and he can be regarded as a feudal official, a proper upstart in officialdom.
"Wei Gong, colleagues, Hu Xianggong and I are here to ask you to see if there is anything we can do to help. If you have one, you're welcome! โ
Wang Gang laughed, straight to the point.
"The two ministers, what's so embarrassing?"
Wei Liweng smiled happily, and was a little embarrassed.
With the help of these two parents and officials of Jiangnan East Road, the Jinling Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, including the Jinling University Hall, will be completed on time, and I am afraid they will be able to sit back and relax.
"Wei Xianggong, just say it directly, you're welcome!"
Wang Gang's tone was sincere, without any prevarication.
If the Jinling Lecture Hall and the Jinling University Hall, especially the Jinling Lecture Hall, could not be completed on time, he, the newly appointed Jiangnan East Road Envoy and Jiankang Prefect, and Hu Mengyu, the Governor of Jiankang Mansion, would be derelict in their duties and could not escape the blame.
"Wei Xianggong, if there is a shortage of money, the consulate general can allocate some of it to you."
Sure enough, Hu Mengyu followed and spoke, full of sincerity.
The Governor General of Jiankang Mansion is not only in charge of the finances of a government, but also in charge of the financial officials of Jiangnan East Road 1st Road, and its office is called the "Consulate General". The office is located in the southwest of the palace, north of the wine business, and the office is independent, and its power can be seen.
The two feudal officials spoke, and Wei Liaoweng unconsciously smiled.
"The two ministers, there is no shortage of money for the time being, but there is still a shortage of manpower."
The sooner the lecture hall is completed, the better, and the better it is to check and fill in the gaps and remedy them as soon as possible.
As for the cost of spending, Shi Miyuan and others have more than 2 million yuan to buy their homes, and they are not stretched.
"Wei Xianggong, the Preparation Division will first allocate 1,000 sergeants to you, and ask them to come to the Martial Arts Hall and the University Hall to help, until the Jinling Lecture Hall and the Jinling University Hall are built. If there is not enough manpower, the Division will make another allocation. What do you think? โ
Wang Gang groaned slightly, and immediately made a decision.
It is already February, and the Jinling Lecture Hall will open in early March, but I dare not delay it any longer, delaying the emperor's major events.
"Then thank you Wang Xianggong below!"
Wei Weng smiled happily, and his heart was much lighter.
With 1,000 sergeants each to help, it may be possible to finish it early at the end of February without having to work overtime.
"Wei Xianggong, you don't have to be polite."
Wang Gang said with a smile and pointed to the west of the city.
"On Egret Island, an iron plant and a gunpowder factory are now under construction. Many officials and craftsmen came to the Ministry of Works, and I had to support 2,000 soldiers on my side. It's also day and night. Now the entire Jinling City is under construction inside and outside, which is overwhelming! โ
In addition to implementing the new policy and reorganizing the armed forces, the emperor also had to prosper in the Jiangnan East Road, such as soap factories, honeycomb coal factories, garment factories, shoe factories, iron factories, gunpowder factories, and so on.
I heard that the emperor was ambitious, and what five-year plan he was going to make, what Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Division, cement factory, glass factory, bone china factory, I don't know if it's true or not.
Maybe when the emperor arrives in Jinling City in a few days, everything will be known.
"10,000 years is too long. This is His Majesty's motto, and it really doesn't ...... to death."
Wei Liaoweng was helpless, so he could only shake his head.
The emperor acted vigorously and resolutely, not only to build Jinling Lecture Hall, train and strengthen the army, but also to build a large number of factories and promote the development of all industries. The emperor wanted the Great Song Dynasty to advance simultaneously with the military, which can be described as well-intentioned and exhausted.
However, the Great Song Dynasty has many drawbacks, and it is important not to pull out the seedlings to help them grow. I don't know if the current wealth of the imperial court can support it? I don't know, is the emperor too impatient, it is difficult to achieve big things, and finally collapse?
It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. In the final analysis, the military, government and civil affairs must have enough money to support them in the end.
"Hu Xianggong, Jiangnan East Road implements a new policy, I don't know what the situation is?"
Wei Liaoweng smiled on his face and asked Hu Mengyu.
"Gong Wei, how many words do you have below, I don't know if you should say it or not?"
Hu Mengyu was noncommittal, and suddenly said to Wei Liaoweng.
"Hu Xianggong, you have something to say. Between you and me, there is nothing to avoid! โ
Wei Liaoweng was slightly stunned, and then said categorically.
Hu Mengyu suddenly asked this, what does it mean?
Hu Mengyu turned his head, and Wang Gang had already pulled Zhang Zhongshu and several officials to the side and talked to them.
Wei Liaoweng was even more shocked. He has been up and down in the sea for many years, and understands that Wang Gang is avoiding suspicion. But what exactly did he have to avoid?
After a quick calculation in his mind, he didn't seem to be a traitor.
