Chapter 363: Building the Academy

Although Zhu Biao is not as scheming as Zhu Yuanzhang, he is by no means a novice who does not understand scheming, and after getting Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, he personally took people to Minghuang Academy and announced this matter to the students.

This group of students who were squeezed out of the Guozijian were immediately moved when they saw the prince coming, not to mention that Zhu Biao personally came to restore their qualifications for the examination.

And this time, Zhu Biao not only restored their original qualifications for the examination, but also won some more places for Minghuang Academy, like Guozijian, students with excellent grades in Minghuang Academy can also pass the assessment to fight for these places.

With these examination places, the status of Minghuang Academy has been greatly improved, although it is still only a dilapidated small courtyard, but its status can already be compared with Guozijian.

After Zhu Biao's operation, the students were grateful to him, even more than Fang Xiaoru, who actively fought for them, as for Li Wei, no one knew, and Fang Xiaoru, who knew the original end of the matter, did not tell Li Wei because of scruples in his heart.

After Zhu Biao announced, Li Wei also got the news quickly, but he didn't care too much, let alone say that he had to say his credit to buy people's hearts, he had other things to do.

In the Ordnance Bureau, Li Wei gathered the one hundred and eight students and assigned them new tasks.

"Classmates, you have been studying with the teacher for four or five years, it's time to graduate, today I will assign you a difficult task, as long as you can successfully complete it, it will be considered an official graduation."

Li Wei announced loudly.

Lu Hong and Lu Xiu were suddenly excited, and asked eagerly: "Teacher, can we do whatever we want after graduation?" ”

Li Wei forcibly pressed them to the technical positions of the Ordnance Bureau, at first they were still a little interested in these technical work, but as the days went by, they found that it was boring and boring, and most of the students were a little out of breath.

Li Wei glanced at them and asked with a smile: "Okay, then tell me, what do you want to do after graduation?" ”

As soon as Li Wei's words fell, all the students immediately raised their hands excitedly to speak.

"I want to lead troops to war, like my father!" Lu Hong's face was full of excitement, he had studied so many firearms, he really wanted to try it on the battlefield in person.

"I want to be an official." Lu Xiu also followed suit.

His ambition actually has something to do with the school he studied in the past, and in this era, studying is all about being an official, nothing else.

After Lu Xiu finished speaking, Ye Qingyun, Zheng Zhihua and several other people shouted, like Lu Xiu, they also wanted to be officials, in their eyes, only when they became big officials could they really get ahead.

Li Wei frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

From the perspective of personal interests, being an official is indeed the best way out, not only in this feudal era, but also in later generations, officials and businessmen are expensive, no matter how awesome the technical talent is, it is also for people to work, and it depends on the face of the boss or leader.

It's just that the purpose of training these students is to let them engage in technology, and if these people are not willing to do it, then he will not work in vain.

Li Wei skipped these people and looked at the other students, and they also expressed their aspirations one after another.

Jia Jinming is a bit of a money fan, and he wants to make money in business, and Ma Liusi is the same.

Although Yue Wenjun and Shao Yongqiang said that they listened to the teacher, they seemed to be a little reluctant to look at them.

Chen Shaofeng, like Lu Hong, wanted to join the army, and may have been influenced by his uncle Chen Su.

A group of teenagers, most of them want to join the army and politics, some want to do business, and less than half of them are willing to stay in the Ordnance Bureau.

Fortunately, there are also some people who are really interested in technology, such as Tao Sheng, who is a little wooden.

After asking these students, Li Wei was very disappointed, but he couldn't refute the ideas of these students, after all, in fact, there is no way to make technology, no matter ancient or modern.

Li Wei sighed and said: "Okay, follow you, Lu Hong, Chen Shaofeng, those of you who want to join the army, I will arrange it for you, as for those who want to become officials, it just so happens that Minghuang Academy has just had some qualifications for the examination, you can also try to fight for it, as for whether you can get it, it depends on your own ability." ”

"Yay......"

"Great, thank you, teacher!"

Lu Hong and Lu Xiu and these teenagers applauded and thanked one after another, Li Wei smiled helplessly, and then turned his gaze to Tao Sheng, the students who were willing to stay, and comforted: "You don't have to worry if you are willing to stay, the teacher will not treat you badly." ”

"Thank you, teacher."

Tao Sheng nodded sullenly.

Yue Wenjun and Shao Yongqiang also thanked him.

Now that the Ordnance Bureau is at the time of employing people, although Li Wei can see that they are a little unhappy in their hearts, he also did not point out that when the academy grows and grows in the future, and there are enough talents, he will fully support them if they want to change careers.

"Teacher, what is our graduation mission?"

Lu Hong asked with a smile on his face.

Lu Xiu and the others also focused their eyes on Li Wei.

Li Wei put away his thoughts and said solemnly: "Your graduation task is to build a new era of Minghuang Academy!" ”

In the future, he wants to accept more students to teach scientific knowledge, but now this dilapidated small courtyard is not enough, and he must build a new large comprehensive college.

He had had this idea a long time ago, and this time Fang Xiaoru reminded him again when he led people to occupy the academy, so he decided to put this plan on the agenda now.

Now that the industrial level of the Ordnance Bureau has developed to a certain extent, cement is available, and the manufacture of steel bars is not a problem, he will naturally not build ancient buildings of masonry and civil engineering in this way of the ancients, but will build a modern new academy according to the style of later generations.

There are many technologies to be used in construction projects, such as various hydropower facilities, building materials, glass doors and windows, etc., which must be used if they can be built.

When this new academy is completed, the industrial level of the Ordnance Bureau must be comprehensively improved.

After Li Wei announced that he was going to build a new college, he also carefully explained these requirements to them one by one, and many of the terms in them could be understood by his students.

Although Li Wei has a lot of requirements, Lu Hong and the others were not frightened, Li Wei said that they have basically learned all of them, even if some things have not been made yet, but they also have some ideas, and they feel that they are not impossible to complete.

In order to graduate as soon as possible and do what they want to do, these students are also very motivated, led by Lu Hong and Lu Xiu, the two class leaders, gathered together for a while to discuss, and then began to divide labor.

Some people go to the pottery kiln factory to be in charge of cement and glass, some go to the steel factory to be in charge of steel bars, and some are ready to make new construction machinery.

They are all carefully taught by Li Wei, in addition to mastering the knowledge imparted by Li Wei, the more important point is that they are flexible in their minds and will not be stupid and silently abide by the rules.

Everyone started to act in a hurry, Li Wei was not idle, the construction project is a big deal, and he is not at ease when it is completely handed over to this group of children, so he personally stares at the overall design to various building materials, and gives guidance in a timely manner.

In addition to keeping an eye on the work of these students, he also has to mobilize money and food, and also choose a site to buy land and find people for construction.

Now that the Minghuang Chamber of Commerce has developed to almost all over the entire territory of Daming, and there are banks, money and food are not a problem at all, he gave a word to Laifu and Shen Jing, and the two of them quickly transferred him out.

As for the construction personnel, there is no need to worry at all, there are so many craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau, as well as his personal guards, it is really impossible to recruit some temporarily, it is enough.

The rest of the land to buy, with his current status, as long as he says what piece of land he likes, the prefect of Ying Tian will send it to him.

Of course, he will not take it in vain, he should give money for money, and he will not forcibly occupy the land of the people.

With a clear goal, the students are full of enthusiasm, and the research and development of basic materials has made rapid progress, first of all, the silicon steel required for the motor has been tinkered out by Lu Hong and several people, and the performance of spring steel has also been greatly improved.

With the motor, the machine tool can be innovated again, although there is no rare earth alloy as a permanent magnet material, the performance of the motor is poorer, but it can still be used, at least it is much more convenient and stable than directly driving with a steam engine.

In addition to renovating machine tools, there are also more important pumps and fans that need to use motors, which are necessary for the construction of the new academy.

This kind of large-scale high-rise building, if there is no fan ventilation, it will be very stuffy, and if there is no water pump to supply water, it will be difficult to get it with manpower, in that case, it is better to live in a bungalow.

After Zhu Yuanzhang cut some of the Li Party's forces, he gradually felt a lot more relieved when he saw that Li Wei was dedicated to doing things again, regardless of the government, and after a period of time, he was given the title of participating in national affairs, just like Xu Da and Li Shanchang, if there is something to discuss, he can do whatever he likes.

In addition to organizing students to build a new college, and occasionally being summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang for questioning, Li Wei stayed at home to accompany his wife and children in addition to organizing students to build a new college, and occasionally being summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang for questioning.

On this day, after dinner, Li Wei returned to the room and was about to continue farming on An Qing, but was blocked by An Qing's raised hand.

"What's wrong?" Li Wei was surprised.

"Let's go over there, I'm not convenient today." Anqing Road.

"You're coming to relatives?" Li Wei asked.

An Qing shook his head.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "You...... Again? ”

An Qing nodded slightly.

Li Wei was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Great! It's not in vain that I've been working hard all year long, and finally it's there again! ”

An Qing's cheeks were slightly red, his slender hands clenched into fists, and he hammered him in disgust: "Old and not serious!" ”

"Hey, hey." Li Wei smirked twice, then stood up and said, "Okay, then you be careful, I'll call Xiaohong over to take care of you." ”

With the experience of the last time, both of them are much calmer this time, and the second production is indeed easier than the first, and Li Wei is not as worried as last time.

An Qing nodded obediently, and Li Wei left the room with a happy face, and by the way, he called the female official Xiaohong over to take care of An Qing.

After arranging, he went to Xiaoqing's. Anqing has planted it here, and Xiaoqing has to work hard there.

Li Wei walked to Xiaoqing's courtyard with a smile on his face and opened Xiaoqing's door.

Xiaoqing was a little surprised when she saw him: "Isn't the master going to accompany the princess today?" ”

Li Wei walked in by himself, sat down on the edge of the bed and said with a smile: "Anqing is happy again, I have asked Xiaohong to take care of him, and I will spend the night with you today." ”

Xiaoqing closed the door, turned around and came to his front, and when he heard his words, his face was also happy, and he said, "Congratulations, master!" ”

Li Wei chuckled, looked up at her, and the smile on his face couldn't help but pause slightly.

Xiaoqing was with him long before Anqing, but now that Anqing is pregnant with a second child, Xiaoqing has not moved, which makes him a little worried.

With An Qing here, the problem is definitely not with him, that is, there is some hidden disease in Xiaoqing's body.

Thinking of this, Li Wei stretched out his hand and pulled her over to sit on his lap, and asked with some worry: "Xiaoqing, is there anything uncomfortable in your body, tell me." ”

Although he doesn't know what diseases cause infertility, he thinks it will be accompanied by some pathological symptoms, such as something or something.

If Xiaoqing really has a disease, then she must be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, even if it is not for the sake of having children, she must also think about her own health.

However, when Xiaoqing heard his words, he shook his head in confusion: "No, why did the master suddenly ask that?" ”

Li Wei opened his mouth, but he didn't say it.

In this era, the pressure on women to give birth is still very great, if he asks directly, he is afraid that Xiaoqing will misunderstand and blame her.

"It's okay, I just care about you." Li Wei smiled casually.

Xiaoqing is a smart woman, although Li Wei didn't ask, but thinking that Anqing was happy again, she vaguely guessed what Li Wei meant, and suddenly her little face turned slightly white, and her eyes were a little evasive.

"It's not early, let's rest early."

Li Wei didn't say anything more, and after finishing speaking, he knocked her down and rained her.

Xiaoqing is not pregnant, it may also be that he does not give enough rain, after all, An Qingsan is only one, in the future, he will work harder, sow more seeds and give rain, maybe one day Xiaoqing will have it.

After a night, Li Wei sent someone to Tai Hospital early to find Dai Sigong and them to diagnose Anqing's pulse.

Dai Sigong and others probed the pulse across the brocade, and finally got up after a long time and congratulated Li Wei:

"Congratulations to the princess, the princess is indeed happy!"

"Good ......"

When Li Wei heard this, he immediately grinned.

Everyone also congratulated Li Wei, Li Wei responded with a smile, so happy, and then asked people to hand over the prepared red envelopes to Dai Sigong and others.

Dai Sigong and the others took the red envelope and thanked them again and again, and then bowed down and prepared to retire.

Li Wei was still a little uneasy when he thought of Xiaoqing's matter, so he stopped them and called Xiaoqing over.

"Xiaoqing, it just so happens that a few imperial doctors are here today, let them diagnose your pulse as well." Li Wei pulled Xiao Qingdao.

Xiao Qingjiao's body trembled slightly, and she said with some panic: "No need, master, I really don't feel uncomfortable." ”

"It's okay to take a look if you're not sick, anyway, the imperial doctors are here, so let's take a look by the way." Li Wei persuaded softly.

However, Xiaoqing still refused: "No need, master, I really don't need it!" ”

Li Wei frowned, not understanding why she resisted so much.

"Really?"

"I really don't need to, Xiaoqing is in good health, and she is not uncomfortable." Xiaoqing waved his hand.

Li Wei looked at her with some suspicion, and he couldn't force it, so he had to let Dai Sigong and the others leave first.

"Xiaoqing, if there is anything uncomfortable in your body, remember to tell me earlier, don't shy away from medical treatment!"

Li Wei said uneasily.

Xiaoqing nodded obediently. (End of chapter)
