After Paba finished speaking, he had a look of sadness on his face.
The two countries of Jin and Jing fought a war, and although they were completely defeated, on the other hand, it promoted integration.
The unprecedented unity of various ministries and alliances, coupled with the increasingly close cooperation between Dajing and the Kingdom of Jin.
Everything is developing for the better, and many people are eager to take advantage of this trend to rise to the top and regain glory.
As a result, now that we have arrived at Dajing and our party, we have been hit hard.
Instead of narrowing, the gap between the two countries is widening.
When he took the train for the first time, he was so frightened that his legs were shaking and he could hardly stand still... Especially when he saw the proud expression of Ruo Youruowu, the official accompanying Da Jing, he was even more ashamed.
The factories along the way are under construction and operation in full swing, and everything is a prosperous scene.
The two countries are already as different as clouds and mud. If they continue to develop like this, I am afraid they will never be able to catch up.
However, Paba is also a strong man who has experienced many hardships. After being emotionally depressed for several days, he quickly regained his composure and sought a change.
Originally, I really didn't want to deal with Fang Zhengyi when I came to the capital.
It's not that I'm annoyed with him or anything, but because this guy has been the pseudo-emperor of the Jin Kingdom for two days... There is always an unspeakable embarrassment in my heart when meeting him.
But for the country and his family, his personal face can be completely abandoned. This side must be seen!
After all, the miracle of Dajing’s development is inseparable from Fang Zhengyi.
"Brother Fang is truly an unparalleled talent. Today's dramatic changes in the world are all due to Brother Fang. Throughout the ages, there have been only a handful of figures who are loyal ministers, Confucian ministers, military strategists, politicians, and diplomats. I think there are only five figures in the world today. Brother Fang!" Paba praised with his hands in hand.
This guy is wearing a high hat for me. It seems that he will have something to ask for soon.
But the five-in-one is really a bit underwhelming. I also have musicians, educators, industrialists, inventors...
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "The Imperial Master is overly praised. If you want to mention two more things, I think the Princess Mansion is not big enough for me to live alone."
Paba was stunned for a moment and didn't react, and then he burst into laughter the next moment.
Fang Zheng said: "National Master, just say what you have to say. Let's not beat around the bush. It's a rare meeting. Let's just say what we want to say."
"Brother Fang is so cool! Then I'll tell you the truth." Paba sorted out his thoughts, "To be honest, I hope to introduce trains and steam engines to Daikin."
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows: "I think you should know that although these two things are nominally managed by me, the final decision still depends on the court and your majesty."
"I know this, but in the past few days I have also tested the tone of your officials, but the information revealed is all ambiguous. I think it is hopeless. I wonder if Brother Fang has any way to help me reconcile it. Don't worry , I will not pay any less for the price you have to pay!”
Paba looked at Fang Zhengyi nervously.
Fang Zheng took a long breath and said, "Master, there is nothing I can do to help you with this matter. The introduction of trains and steam engines are both important tools for the country. Of course, the court considers confidentiality, but from a practical point of view, it is really unable to help you. , these things are also most in short supply in Dajing."
"Not only trains and steam engines are enough, but there is a huge shortage of supporting workers for the entire production and operation process. All of these are being cultivated. You think we are all in short supply, how can we supply your country?"
"I think... it will take at least a few years or more than ten years before we have enough production capacity and talents to cooperate with your country."
Praba was greatly disappointed and speechless for a moment.
Sure enough, Dajing will not let go easily. With the train, it is unimaginable that Dajing will be there for more than ten years, and the gap will only get wider and wider.
Unexpectedly, Fang Zheng changed the topic and said, "I understand that the Imperial Master is anxious, but there is no room for change in this matter."
"How?" Paba's eyes rekindled hope.
Fang Zheng said: "Trains and steam engines actually originated from Dongjiao University. Although the specific technology of these two things is confidential, the underlying principles of making them are public. As long as you learn it, you can develop it yourself, and maybe even return it. Can build a better machine than my Dajing."
"And the Eastern Suburbs University is in my name. I have complete control. You can select a group of smart people from the Kingdom of Jin, and even nobles come to study, and I will help you arrange it."
Prabha looked serious and was deep in thought.
Yes, the technology of trains is just a superficial appearance. Ultimately, it is Da Jing’s new scientific policy.
If you can copy it completely...
"Brother Fang is kind and righteous! I am willing to fund the construction of Dongjiao University in Daikin. I wonder if you can lend me some manpower to act as a teacher. The price is not an issue."
Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "No, you can only send people to study. Imperial Master, it's not that I want to embarrass you, there is really a shortage of manpower."
"In the past two months, we have established three Eastern Suburbs University branch campuses in Dajing Quanzhou, and most of the students we have trained have been sent to the branch campuses as teachers, but the teaching staff is still seriously insufficient."
"And on the other hand, two months ago I wrote to the imperial court to create another official position, called Doctor of Science. The rank is from the eighth rank. He serves as a consultant in the six ministries and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Each agency should have two to five people to help the officials of the DPRK and China. Understand the latest technological progress of Eastern Suburbs University and interpret the papers.”
“So, I don’t have the manpower to establish branches abroad.”
Prabha's eyes suddenly widened: "Bypass the imperial examination and directly set up the position of doctor of science in the six ministries and the palace? Will your court agree?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "It has been delayed for so long, and there is no veto or agreement, but I think the problem should not be big. The most important thing is that the officials in the DPRK know what is right without harming their interests. They should be able to It makes sense.”
"Actually, there are still some troubles here, but they can be solved gently by moisturizing things quietly, for example..." Fang Zhengyi said slowly.
Looking back on the past year, all of his work has been focused on this.
The current education system and talent selection system will undoubtedly hinder the development of Eastern Suburbs University.
All conflicts are caused by uneven communication of information and uneven distribution of spoils.
In order to change the minds of officials in the DPRK and China, he had earlier arranged for the officials to go to Dongjiao University to take some time to learn more about it.
But even so, some people were still unwilling to go, so he privately began to write invitations to people one by one.
Jianye Hou, please invite someone to take some time to attend a lecture at Dongjiao University, and you will still be given some face by eating.
Dongjiao University also made some temporary changes. Officials entertained us with delicious food and drinks upon arrival, and hung up welcome banners with great fanfare!
There are also special seats for officials in the teachers, and officials from the DPRK and China are welcome to attend the lectures.
Whenever the teacher catches up with an official to observe, he will immediately use Mr. Fang's words, flatter him and then kidnap him morally.
It is publicly stated that with adults coming to attend classes, students at Dongda University will become more knowledgeable, and the teaching level will continue to rise!
I must come again next time, everything is for the students!
The officials from the DPRK and the Central Government were naturally very happy. After class, all the teachers and students hugged each other enthusiastically and agreed on a time to go there next time...
If you don't go, what you will receive is not a personal invitation letter from President Fang, but a joint letter written by all the teachers and students in the school.
If you don't come, won't it delay students' learning? Ruining someone's future, why are you so shy that you can't come?
