The number of disciples in the academy is either too large or too small. Hundreds of doctors and teachers are allocated to various subjects. Some subjects will have multiple teachers, but it still seems a bit inadequate.
Chinese history, arithmetic, and ancient law can be considered small classes if there are fifty or sixty people in a classroom.
Agricultural science is considered a big class if hundreds of people attend it together.
Neo-Confucianism and Military Science are somewhere in between.
Neo-Confucianism does not refer to moral theology, but astronomy and geography.
Dr. Su Feng, who teaches Neo-Confucianism, is a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a similar temperament to Pu Liuxuan.
He is familiar with astronomy, acoustics, geology, biology, engineering and other subjects,
He has a large number of inventions and patents in ceramics, metal forging, papermaking, textiles, grain processing, mining engineering equipment, etc. He is also the head of the Academy Patent Office.
In the Manna Palace of the Imperial City, the large-scale high-precision clock that uses a static escapement (including escape wheel, escapement fork and hairspring balance wheel) and is accurate to the second is his invention.
For this reason, the Haotian Temple specially sent people to Chang'an to give Su Feng a gift to express his gratitude for his contribution - a large high-precision clock, which meant that the Haotian bells in various places could sound more orderly and regular.
This course is naturally much more lively and interesting than national history.
However, because Su Feng is relatively introverted and not good at talking, most of the time it is his teacher who speaks on stage, he added below.
In addition, the black lacquer boards and chalk pens that have been tried in the academy and some private schools in Chang'an are his inventions.
Chalk, a deposit of calcium carbonate, is written on a black-painted wooden board that can be easily wiped off.
The equivalent of chalk and blackboard.
In addition to Neo-Confucianism, there are also courses such as painting, music, herbal medicine, and military science.
Dr. Du Qinyin, who teaches painting, draws lifelike paintings and has a cool personality. After taking a few classes on basic painting techniques, she allowed the students to paint still lifes freely and review them after a while.
If the students are talented and interested in learning, the doctor will continue to teach. Otherwise, the students will be allowed to draw and have fun.
Even more chic than her is Zhong Qin, a doctor of music. Every time he goes out, he picks up some musical instrument in his hand, such as pipa, harp (three-stringed instrument), flute, drum, and xun, so that’s what he’s going to take today.
One time I didn't bring any musical instruments, so I just picked a willow leaf from a tree and started playing with it.
As for herbal medicine - this course is of great interest to Li Ang. Sun Pu, a doctor of herbal medicine, has planted a large number of rare plants in greenhouses, many of which have potential alien species.
For example, mulberry-shaped fruits can make people unconscious and hallucinate within a few hours after being eaten.
Colorful mushrooms that resemble human fingers,
A vine-like potted plant that can extend its tentacles and devour passing rats and birds.
Herbal medicine. In addition to growing strange plants, herbal medicine courses will also teach how to use these plants to prepare potions.
The effects of these potions are not beyond Li Ang's imagination.
At least for now, there seems to be no drug that can prepare patients for surgery in a short period of time.
The other two disciplines besides herbal medicine are military science and beasts.
Qi Ju, a Ph.D. who teaches military science, is very interesting. The first few courses are all in the classroom about how to march and set up formations, how to station, how to allocate food and grass, and evaluate troop strength.
In the next few classes, the venue changes to the martial arts field - students need to put on medium-sized armor, pick up unedged edgeless swords, affix basic talismans to prevent accidental injuries, and engage in simulated duels.
The number of people is one-on-one, many-on-many, and one-on-many.
The locations are jungles, plains, city streets, and inside buildings.
This approach is designed to allow students to personally experience the feeling of the battlefield and establish in their hearts a perception of combat power with ordinary people as the origin of the coordinates.
Military science also includes basic military theory and actual combat drills, and even includes how to find directions, how to assassinate, assassinate, infiltrate, track, and counter-track, etc.
According to Qi Ju, the first and second academic years are about the basics of military science. Starting from the third academic year, there is also the theory of military advancement - learning the role of talismans in war and their impact on the shape of war.
"War is a monk's war. The talismans, spells, and thoughts released by a Zhuxiao Realm monk are enough to distort the terrain on a small battlefield and change the balance of strength between the enemy and ourselves.
Even those in the Xunyun Realm below the Zhuxiao Realm can still change the direction of the war by going deep into the battlefield alone, harassing and attacking, and destroying the logistics lines.
Ordinary people are too fragile for monks. If Xunyun Realm monks act recklessly without being blocked, they can even assassinate all the officials in an entire state and county overnight, directly destroying the administrative system of the state and county.
But war is not just a war for monks.
No matter how powerful a monk is, even if he is in the Zhuxiao realm, he will get tired, he will be tired, and he will die directly if his body is pierced by blades or crossbow arrows - as long as he is not a martial arts master who refines his body.
Only two opponents of the same level in the Zhuxiao Realm, or seven to ten high-level monks from the Xunyun Realm, can hold him back.
Once dragged in place, the opponent can repeatedly attack and delay,
Wait until the large-scale iron cavalry equipped with special weapons arrives at the battle site, and fire crossbow arrows with a large number of talismans at the monks, or use alienated objects, which are consumed in rounds.
Dragging Zhuxiao Realm monks to death - this is how the armies of various countries deal with Zhuxiao Realm.
If any country wants to exist, it must have a sufficient number of top monks.
Whether it is the Yu Kingdom, the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Xi Jing, or the Turks, if too many Zhuxiao realms are lost in a short period of time, it means that powerful monks from other countries can drive straight in, come and go as they please, and easily destroy the administrative and logistical supply systems.
The only way for our side is to abuse alienated substances as a last resort to harm others and ourselves.
At the same time, this rule also means that if a balance is reached between the top forces of both sides, it will be difficult to start a war - unless one side secretly masters a unique technological advantage and can afford to take risks. "
Most of the freshmen were attracted by the words of Qi Ju, the professor of military science.
Every Zhuxiao realm monk is an important weapon of the country and the foundation of the country.
He has fought for three thousand miles, and his sword has served as a division for millions.
How powerful, how chic, how... colorful.
Only a few students showed thoughtful expressions on their faces - they thought about what they had learned in national history.
Just by existing, Zhuxiao Realm monks can defeat others without fighting.
Xi Jing was defeated by the Southern Zhou Dynasty in the Battle of Numachuan two hundred years ago, and the entire army of 400,000 soldiers was wiped out. However, the Southern Zhou Dynasty failed to eliminate and annex Xi Jing.
The important reason is that after the war, the number of Zhuxiao realm monks on both sides was ten to nine, which was still a balance of power.
Nowadays, the Yu State has an advantage over the surrounding countries, both in terms of overall national strength and the number of Zhuxiao realms. There are three reasons why there was no large-scale attack:
First, the Western Jing, Southern Zhou, Turkic and other countries reached a tacit agreement, and the top monks did not attack each other and jointly restrained the Yu State.
Second, the natural barriers of mountains and swamps existing in countries such as Western Jing and the Southern Zhou Dynasty made it difficult for large armies to pass through and to station, manage, and rule the conquered territories.
Third, the Xuegong improved agricultural production technology, which greatly reduced the impact of floods, droughts, and locust plagues on agriculture and alleviated the food pressure of Yu State.
Although land annexation is still rampant in some areas, at least the number of refugees has been greatly reduced.
Failure to meet any of the three conditions may lead to the outbreak of war.
Listening to Qi Ju, professor of military science, talking in front, Li Ang felt a strange sense of déjà vu in his heart.
Did the anti-malaria strategy he proposed accelerate the pace of the war in a sense?
(I actually fell asleep while sitting in front of the computer...)
