Yanhuang Academy, sports field.
The students stood in fifteen square formations according to their classes. The rising sun shone on their backs, casting long shadows.
"Hey, what do you think the mountain chief wants to do when he calls us here this time?"
"I guess you have something to announce?"
"whats the matter?"
"How do I know this?"
"Hey, have you heard? Meng Wenhao and Tiedan, who accompanied the imperial army on this expedition, have returned to the academy today!"
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I just saw them in the dining hall!"
"Wow! I heard that they won the battle in Zhengzhou, and they were awarded a reward by His Majesty yesterday! It's really amazing!"
"It's indeed amazing. They deserve these rewards. After all, they are exchanging their lives for credit!"
"By the way, the mountain chief called us here today. Is it related to this matter?"
"Hey! It's really possible! Meng Wenhao and Tiedan are in great glory this time. They were just rewarded by His Majesty in front of all the civil and military officials, and today they are praised by the mountain chief in public. It's really enviable!"
"It's useless to be envious. If it were you, would you dare to go to the battlefield?"
"Uh! Forget it about going to the battlefield! I am the only child of three generations in our family. There is no way my father and mother would let me go to the battlefield."
The students were whispering in private, speculating on Li Zexuan's purpose in letting them come here today. After all, gatherings of all teachers and students like this are not common. Generally, only the opening ceremony or the midterm and final exam commendation ceremony will bring all the teachers and students of the academy together here.
"Wenhao, Tiedan, tell me the truth. Did the mountain chief call us here specifically to praise you?"
In the student team of Class 1, Sun Zifan "arched" Meng Wenhao and Tiedan on the right and in front with his shoulders, and whispered.
Meng Wenhao tilted his head back imperceptibly, and then replied in a low voice: "We don't know this, the mountain chief didn't tell us this yesterday!"
Cheng Chumo curled his lips, and said aggrievedly like a resentful little daughter-in-law: "Hmph! It's a pity that I, Old Cheng, were not allowed to go on this expedition. If I were allowed to go, maybe I would have killed all the enemy generals. Of!"
"Hey! The mountain chief is here! The mountain chief is here! Everyone be quiet~!"
At this moment, Li Zexuan walked onto the "rostrum" on the west side of the sports field.
The students who were whispering just a moment ago suddenly fell silent. In the huge playground, all that could be heard was the sound of wind and the chirping of birds!
Li Zexuan was silent for a moment and then said: "A few days ago, the Cui family of Qinghe in Zhengzhou openly rebelled against the imperial court. Your Majesty ordered Duke Wei to send troops south to quell the rebels. I believe you have all heard about this, right?"
"heard!"
When the students heard Li Zexuan talking about this, they roughly understood what Li Zexuan was going to say next. It was nothing more than to commend Meng Wenhao and Tiedan for their outstanding contributions in this war!
Li Zexuan nodded and continued: "Cui Junchuo, the old lady of the Cui family, went against the grain and tried to incite the people to commit rebellion. For his own selfish desires, he even wanted to take the lives of tens of millions of ordinary people. How sad and crazy!
Fortunately, Li Yu, a reporter from "Datang Daily", passed the news of the Cui family's rebellion back to Chang'an in time, so that the court had the opportunity to rush to Guancheng before the Cui family sent troops to Luoyang! Otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable!
Speaking of Li Yu, some of you know her, and some of you don't. Although she is a woman and cannot study at Yanhuang Academy, I have always regarded her as my student!
The world says that women are inferior to men, but when it comes to Li Yu, how many of you can be better than her? When war breaks out, how many of you can rush to the battlefield without hesitation, be fearless in the face of danger, devote yourself to finding ways to break the situation, and spread useful information silently? "
As soon as these words came out, all the students below fell silent, and many of them lowered their heads.
Ask yourself, if there is war in the world, there will be very few of them who dare to go to the front line. After all, they are literati and do not pursue warriors. Most literati cherish their lives!
Seeing this, Li Zexuan said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember what I said to you when the military training started last year? As long as the Yanhuang Dynasty does not die, the Han family will never be destroyed! The blood is inscribed with the Jinge, and the blood is endless! These sixteen words, Do you still remember?"
"Remember!"
After being criticized by Li Zexuan earlier, the students felt guilty at first, but then became unconvinced. When they heard Li Zexuan mentioning last year's opening ceremony, all the students' thoughts couldn't help but drift to September last year!
Li Zexuan on the rostrum said loudly: "Since you still remember it, you should shout it to me again!"
"The Yan and Huang Dynasties will not die, and the Han family will not be destroyed! The blood is inscribed with the golden sword, and the blood will never end!"
More than 600 students all shouted in unison when they heard this. The shouts seemed to pierce the sky and tear the earth apart. It was so majestic!
Under the exaggeration of this atmosphere, the enthusiasm of the students was also completely aroused. Each one of them looked at Li Zexuan with determined eyes, their fanatical eyes were like a pilgrim!
"good!"
Li Zexuan laughed loudly and said: "I hope you can remember these sixteen words for a lifetime! Not only must you remember them, but you must also practice them with practical actions! This time, two students from our academy participated in the Zhengzhou Peace They were Meng Wenhao and Han Li of the first class during the rebellion war and achieved great success!
Although they were behind enemy lines in this war, with their skilled control of telegraph machines and fairy lights, they made considerable contributions to the exchange of information between the army and Li Yu in Guancheng County! In recognition of their achievements, His Majesty yesterday conferred the title of Wenlin Lang on Meng Wenhao and the title of Lieutenant Renyong on Han Li! "
As soon as these words came out, the students in the audience let out bursts of exclamations. Meng Wenhao and Tiedan, both students of Yanhuang Academy, had official status, which made most people envious. After all, in this era, who Aren't you going to learn martial arts and sell your goods to the emperor's family?
"In addition to Meng Wenhao and Han Li, there is also Li Tai. He is responsible for the communication between the palace and the frontline troops. He has made great contributions! From now on, all students in the academy who have made military exploits will be rewarded by the court regardless of whether they are rewarded or not, or how much they are rewarded. , our academy will reward them, depending on the merit, ranging from one hundred to one thousand Tang Yuan! Because they have not only earned honor for themselves, but also for our Yanhuang Academy! Therefore, I declare that this time The three students who have made meritorious deeds in rebelling will each receive three hundred Tangyuan as rewards from the academy!"
"Wow!"
The students in the audience exclaimed again, three hundred Tang Yuan! It stands to reason that it is quite a lot! We must know that Liu Rengui, the key figure in the counter-rebellion, not only received an official position in the court, but also received a reward of 100,000 copper coins. How much is one hundred thousand copper coins? It’s just over one hundred copper coins! But Li Zexuan rewarded three hundred Tang Yuan for one reward, which is considered a generous reward!
"After talking about the rewards for the three of them, let's talk about you next!"
When Li Zexuan saw the envious expressions of the students in the audience, he paused and said, "I know that many of you are envious of Meng Wenhao and Tiedan for having such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Haha, this is a good thing! A soldier who doesn't want to be a general will never be a good soldier! But you don't have to be envious, let alone be discouraged, because what I'm going to say next is your opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the future!
Last year, I founded the School of Engineering and the Yanhuang Academy against a lot of opposition in the court. Many people didn’t understand what the School of Engineering was about. In fact, the purpose of the School of Engineering was very simple, that is, to benefit the world. If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Different from Confucianism in cultivating the mind, our study of work is to produce the most direct benefits to the country. To put it more straightforwardly, the study of work is to arm the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty better. Unstoppable!
Why were Meng Wenhao and Han Li able to make meritorious deeds this time? Apart from the fact that they have a brave and fearless heart, it is also because they have telegraph machines and fairy lights! These are all created using engineering knowledge!
However, it is simply impossible to make Datang invincible in the world with just these two things! Therefore, there must be thousands of world-saving artifacts such as telegraph machines and fairy lamps. I will leave this task to you today! I give it a sacred name, called One Hundred Killer Projects!
As the name suggests, this task contains one hundred small tasks, and the task is valid for twenty years. Within these twenty years, all students of Yanhuang Academy, as long as you have good ideas, please note that they must be the kind that can change the Tang Dynasty. If you have more powerful ideas, you can come to me with your plan. I will evaluate the practicality and feasibility of your plan. Once your plan is valued by me, it will be included in one hundred killer projects. one! At that time, you can gather the strength of all teachers and students in the academy to complete your plan together!
During the completion of the plan, the college will provide you with all human, material and financial resources. As long as it is useful research for completing the plan, no matter how expensive it is, the college will provide you with unconditional support! When the plan is completed, all the teachers and students who participated in the killer project will not only receive huge rewards from the academy, but I will also ask the court for your credit. At that time, the court will also give you a reward, possibly a promotion to a noble rank. It may also be a life of wealth and honor. No matter which one it is, you will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!
In addition to your own proposals, the academy will also regularly launch some identified killer projects. At that time, students with excellent grades and outstanding abilities will be selected to join the killer projects. Therefore, if you want to stand out, You must study hard on weekdays and take every exam seriously!
In short, the trump card project can be a good idea for people's livelihood, such as the Quyuan plow, or it can be a good idea for the military, such as fairy lanterns or telegraph machines. No matter which one it is, since it is called a trump card, it must be ensured It can make the Tang Dynasty far ahead of the world in a certain aspect! "
