"Faster transportation tools, faster communication methods, sharper weapons, tougher armor..."
Li Er was attracted by the engineering prospects described by Li Zexuan and couldn't help but murmured. After a moment, he came back to his senses and asked excitedly:
"Thousands of miles of sound transmission? Are you talking about the telegraph machine you made before?"
Li Er, who had experienced hundreds of battles, was most interested in the telegraph machine invented by Li Zexuan. He understood very well the key role that the telegraph machine played in the war. In particular, in his plan, troops must be dispatched within three years. Turks, if there is a telegraph machine that can transmit messages thousands of miles away, the elusive Turkic wolf riders will be nowhere to be seen in the vast grasslands! The Tang Dynasty had already won half the battle before it even started.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is the telegraph machine!"
Li Zexuan has made up his mind to train a group of talents, improve the telegraph machine into a more advanced telephone, and develop a derivative product - radio. Of course, before that, he needs to lead the talents he has trained to improve the quality of the telegraph machine. Tang's electronics industry foundation.
Yes, that's right, Li Zexuan wants to directly bring Datang into the electrical age. As for the steam engine, he doesn't have to use it yet. Let's wait until he does!
"Didn't you say before that if the telegraph machine is to be put into practical use, it still needs to overcome some technical difficulties?"
Li Er was angry. He felt that he had been deceived by the bold little bastard in front of him.
"Well, back to Your Majesty, I did say that, but I also explained at the beginning that the reason why the telegraph machine cannot be put into practical use at present is mainly because we in Datang have too few relevant talents in this field, and the technical foundation in this area is too weak, so boy Only then do we want to cultivate a group of engineering talents to lay the technical foundation of Datang in this area. By then, this group of talents will bring not only telegraph machines to Datang, but also many things that His Majesty wants to do. Something you can’t even imagine!”
Looking at Li Er's expression, Li Zexuan knew what Lao Li was thinking, and he quickly explained.
"Oh~? Then how do you plan to cultivate so-called engineering talents? Tell me~~"
Li Er was very moved when he heard this. He looked at Li Zexuan and asked.
"Your Majesty, I plan to build an academy, establish a private school, establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations! I want the fire of engineering to start a prairie fire throughout the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Zexuan straightened his waist and said proudly.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry on the unique knowledge of the past saints, and create peace for all generations~~ Haha, you have such a big tone!"
Li Er was shocked by Li Zexuan's bold words, but after a while he sarcastically said:
"In the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty, all the systems have been perfected. If you don't want to stay in the Imperial College, but you insist on running out to run your own school, aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?"
Private academies in the Tang Dynasty were not developed, and there were basically only a few, and there was no complete teaching system. There were not as many and famous private academies as there were in the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, what I want to set up is a new-style academy. The perfect system of the Imperial College will only be a shackle and fetter for me, and will not provide any help. As for what I said about establishing a heart for the world and a destiny for the people, It is definitely not bragging to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints and create peace for all generations. In three years, my academy will become the top academy in my country, and my students will become the most outstanding talents in my country!"
Li Zexuan said seriously.
Li Er's eyes flashed, and he pondered: "Then where do you plan to build a school? Do you need me to allocate money and people to you?"
Thinking of all the "big treasures" that Li Zexuan had made in the past, Li Er felt that Li Zexuan might really succeed this time. He felt a move in his heart and wanted to help Li Zexuan. Of course, it can also be understood that he wanted to get a share of the pie. The most important thing is, The early completion of the academy means that the telegraph machine can be used for military purposes as soon as possible. This is what Li Er is most concerned about.
"Back to Your Majesty, I plan to build a school in my fiefdom - Plum Village. As for the funds for building the school, I have few assets in my family. I should be able to cope with it. I won't ask for it from Your Majesty. After all, the treasury does not have much money. , other ministers will not agree to use the money from the treasury to run a school for this kid! As for the gentleman of the academy, I will look for a group of candidates when the time comes, and I hope your majesty can facilitate it then!"
Li Zexuan understands what Li Er means, but this time, he does not plan to delegate power to run the school. At most, he will let Li Er become an honorary principal. He is determined to be the principal of this college!
As for why he wanted to establish a school in Plum Village, one was because Plum Village was his fiefdom, and the second was because Plum Village was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the environment was extremely beautiful, like a paradise. The last time he went to Plum Village, the scenery there left an impression on him. I am extremely impressed. Overall, Plum Village is the most suitable place for studying.
From this Cui Shanyou impeachment incident, Li Zexuan understood a truth, that is, without strength, there is no right to speak, and it is easy to become a victim in the struggle. Even though he has both a title and an official position now, when it comes to fighting for power and gain, others will still bully you! The bottom line is that he has no strength, so why don't others dare to bully Cheng Yaojin? Why don't you dare to bully Yuchi Jingde?
Li Zexuan never wanted to bully others, but he wanted to become so strong that others would not dare to bully him.
But he is not good at political struggle, let alone fighting on the battlefield. Therefore, after much deliberation, he can only build a top college and then use his knowledge to cultivate a group of high-end talents. By then, his Students hold important positions in various departments of Datang and are awesome. As their principal, who else would dare to provoke me without opening their eyes?
Since the rules of the game in this world will not change, then he will change the world!
Li Zexuan thought with great pretentiousness in his heart.
"Hmm~~, when do you plan to open a school? Have you thought of a name for the academy?"
Li Er was silent. The problems Li Zexuan mentioned were indeed extremely realistic. The Tang Dynasty was poor now!
"I plan to start preparing for the construction of the academy in ten days. At that time, it should coincide with the "field holiday" of the Imperial College. At that time, I will resign from your Majesty. Your Majesty will choose another talented person to be the director of the Imperial College! As for the academy! The name is called "Yanhuang Academy"!"
The so-called "field holiday" is also commonly known as "farming holiday" by modern people. At this time, the wheat is about to mature and students have to go home and go to the fields to harvest wheat, so it is called "field holiday". Field vacation is roughly equivalent to modern summer vacation, which lasts for about a month. If students are far away from home and have a long commute, they can apply to the school to extend their vacation. However, this one-month vacation is a "net vacation" and does not include the time spent on the journey.
Li Zexuan wanted to use this gap period to complete the construction of the academy and start enrolling students when the semester starts in the fall.
"Well, Yanhuang Academy, how can the deceased be unfavored? They are both Huang and Yanqueen! Okay! I will give you the inscription on the academy's plaque when the time comes! But why do you have to wait until ten days later?"
Li Er was worthy of being a learned king. He immediately thought of the origin of Yanhuang. He murmured something in a low voice and asked.
