Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1161
Chapter 1161 The seeds planted by Li Xin
The time came to February in the second year of Yankang, and the weather gradually warmed up.
Mu Ying, one of the three giants in the southwest, left the capital with more than 20,000 people beating gongs and drums.
It is impossible to completely conceal such a personnel transfer with a scale of more than 20,000 people. Forcibly concealing it will only try to conceal it. Therefore, Mu Ying went to Beijing for the reason of going to the southeast to suppress the rebellion.
This reason is not made up out of thin air. In fact, after the Southwest Army entered the capital, although it cannot be said that there was a lot of smoke everywhere in Dajin, there were many people who “rebelled”. These people did not want to rebel against the Ji family court. , but to create a rebellion against the southwestern court.
In the past, most of these rebellions were wiped out by the local army. Occasionally, some large-scale rebellions were also quelled by Li Shuo. Now there is indeed a vassal of the Ji family in the southeast, and tens of thousands of people are bound to enter Beijing. Take this opportunity to leave the capital.
After Mu Ying left, Li Xin personally served as the general Long Wuwei in the capital, and there was no fake hand. This was to tell Mu Ying that the position of General Long Wuwei would be reserved for him and would not be occupied by others. .
It was February, and the weather was getting warmer.
Governor Li, who was afraid of the cold, finally survived the cold winter and took off the fur coat he had been wearing all winter.
In the past few months, the relationship between Li Xin and the nine princesses has eased a lot, and at least they can go back to the room to sleep. The child she brought back from the Huai Wang Mansion, the same age as Li Xin’s newly born youngest son, was taken by the nine princesses. The princess was with her, and she took it with her younger son.
Li Xin’s youngest son was named Li Shi, and the child of the Prince Huai’s house was named Ji Cheng.
In the past few months, Li Xin’s main energy has been on how to improve the Shenji Camp and build the Shenji Academy directly under the Shenji Camp. After the spring, the Shenji Camp has already built three A school of magic.
Although this Shenji School also teaches the knowledge of sages, it does not teach the knowledge of how to take the test. The focus is on arithmetic calculation and astronomy and geography. Li Xin personally compiled some basic teaching materials, and gathered a group of data from the people. Count everyone and miscellaneous scholars as the first batch of teachers of the God Machine School.
Although almost no scientific system has been formed in this era, the level of mathematics has reached a staggering level. Some folk mathematicians have far surpassed Li Xin, a serious science student, but he They do not use simple Arabic numerals, nor do they form formulas. They can only use obscure classical Chinese to record the process. Even if it is written down, later generations sometimes cannot understand it. Two generations will be lost.
Li Xin promoted Arabic numerals in the Shenji School, and gave these folk mathematicians enough “salaries”, so that on the one hand, they could spread the things they researched, on the other hand, they were not troubled by economic problems. Be able to calm down and continue to deduce and count.
This is a little seed that Li Xin left in this world.
In this era, the purpose of studying is to be an official. Naturally, no one is willing to go to a school that cannot teach scientific examinations. In desperation, these three magic schools can only take a penny. After that, errands were arranged, and only one or two hundred children were attracted to enter the school of magic.
These three magic schools are just the beginning of Li Xin’s construction of basic education. However, in the past ten or twenty years, Li Xin can only pour money into it, and it is impossible to have any positive income, but Basic education is social welfare, and Li Xin gave the money willingly.
The Shenji Camp is located outside the city, which is convenient for testing various firearms, but the Shenji Academy is located in Datong Square in the south of the capital. Li Xin bought the two courtyards with his own money. The house is the school of the God Machine School.
This day, Li Xin went to Datongfang early in the morning. After reading all the three schools, he returned from Datongfang in the evening. He just got off the carriage, and before he got home, he saw Shang Shu who was walking towards him. Right Pushe, Li Xin stepped forward and smiled at Zhao Jia: “It shouldn’t be sunset yet, Zhao Xiang is not in charge of the central office at Shangshutai, why did he come to me?”
Zhao Jia bowed his head and saluted Li Xin, and then said silently, “Xiaguan will rest today.”
Li Xin smiled and said, “You, give yourself a leave, since we’re taking a break, how many drinks will we have together?”
Zhao Jia lowered his head and said, “It’s better to be respectful than to obey.”
The two entered the Jing’an Marquis Mansion together, sat down in the backyard of the Marquis Mansion, and just had two glasses of wine, Zhao Jia said silently, “The Governor has been busy with the Shenji School for the past two months. , there is some confusion about the lower official, please ask the superintendent to clarify the confusion.”
Li Xin’s face was calm: “You said.”
“It is naturally a good thing that the governor runs the school in person, but the lower official heard that… Although the students of the Shenji School are studying, they do not aspire to the scientific examination, but instead study mathematics, calculus, alchemy, etc…”
Having said this, Zhao Jia paused and smiled bitterly: “Xiaguan thought that since he was studying, he still had to cultivate his career as a good thing, otherwise it would ruin the future of these children…”
This is also the difference between the ideologies of the two eras.
It cannot be said that Zhao Jia is pedantic, but he has been an official for thousands of years, and he does not say that academic numbers can be an official.
Li Xin drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: “Everyone has their own way of living, Brother You An thinks that the entrance exam is important, but there are so many people in the world, not everyone can take the entrance exam, even if they all go to the entrance exam. , it is also thousands of people who cross the single-plank bridge, how many of them can really get the jinshi?”
Li Xin’s ultimate goal is to completely change the situation of scientific examinations, but it cannot be directly stated at the moment.
This matter needs to be done little by little, he still has a lot of time, so he doesn’t have to rush it.
Having said this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: “Brother You’an asked me why I let those children learn mathematics, geek, and even the so-called alchemy. I can tell Brother You’an, because these things…”
“Can make thunder.”
Zhao Jia was stunned.
Although he is the top smart person in this era, but due to his limitations and vision, it is difficult for him to imagine how he can develop something like Tianlei, but he is not entangled in this matter, just watching Xiang Li Xin said silently, “Even if Tianlei can be made, Dajin already has Tianlei…”
“Since it’s a school, it’s better to take the scientific exam…”
“okay.”
Li Xin chuckled: “Brother You An, didn’t you also take the scientific exam? I didn’t interfere with your scholars continuing to hold the scientific exam, and you don’t need to worry about what school I run.”
Thunder? Just the threshold for hot weapons!
Li Xin has seen real hot weapons. Compared with those of later generations, the Tianlei fire gun in Li Xin’s hands is simply a child’s toy.
But he couldn’t explain these things to Zhao Jia.
You can’t tell him that as long as you follow this path, you will be able to turn the world upside down and kill countless people in future generations.
There is no fact in front of him, and no one will believe it, they will only think that Li Xin has lost his mind.
Although that kind of thing is still very far away from now, and it will never be possible to make it in Li Xin’s life, the descendants of Zhu Xia are no more stupid than others. As long as the seeds are planted and lead in a correct direction, others can make it out. Xia descendants can also make it out!
Thinking of this, Li Xin raised the wine glass in his hand and touched Zhao Jia.
“As for the future of these children, you and I are not too old, just watch them quietly. After a decade or two, we will naturally see the difference.”
Governor Li chuckled.
“One day, you don’t need me to waste your time. What you see and hear, Brother You’an, will naturally change what you think in your heart.”
