Compared with the Imperial College in Nanjing, the Imperial College in Beijing is even more spectacular and complete.
At the beginning of the construction of the Nanjing Imperial College, too much consideration was given to the teaching of Confucian culture. Confucius, Mencius and others occupied a large area. If it were not expanded, it would not be able to accommodate so many colleges. Even so, there is a Problem: A college is often just a small courtyard, such as the Agricultural College and the Navigation College, which have relatively few supervisors, and its space is very limited.
But there are no such worries for the Imperial College in Peking, because it has forward-looking design thinking and advanced construction. It not only expands the space of each college, plans its own building area, adds dedicated rooms for experiments, collections, operations, etc., but also An unknown number of basements were installed.
Zhou Chang had a conversation with Guo Jiale and Song Duanduan and then left. He always needed to rest for an hour or two, as there were still many things to do tomorrow.
Guo Jiale watched the quiet night, thinking about a deceased old man.
His voice, appearance, and smile are just like before his eyes.
Song Duanduan seemed to have thought of something, and took out a magnet from the sachet and handed it to Guo Jiale: "While researching materials, I found that magnets are very special. They can absorb things or not. Whether they absorb or not depends on the contact with them. material. But I have never understood the principle of how magnets absorb iron."
Guo Jiale took the magnet, looked at it, and said, "This has nothing to do with the electrical energy I want to study, right? If you came to me to ask, did you find the wrong person?"
Song Duanduan shook his head: "Not exactly. You are not studying dry batteries. You have also done experiments with frogs and found that connecting metal pieces to the frog will cause the frog to twitch. In my opinion, the frog is not necessarily twitching, but is attracted by electricity."
"Attracted by electricity?"
Guo Jiale was stunned.
Song Duanduan nodded: "As you know, materials have different melting points, and different materials require different temperatures to smelt. Similarly, electricity must be divided into high and low. High electricity is like lightning in the sky, which can burn trees in an instant. and buildings, but not necessarily, some lightning is not fatal.”
Guo Jiale frowned but did not deny it.
Over the years, the Imperial College has been investigating strange things. It is said that some farmers did not die after being struck by lightning. But without exception, these records contain words such as "numbness all over the body, unable to move, as if being absorbed by a mysterious force" and similar words.
Song Duanduan clapped his hands, stood up and said, "If it is the absorption of electric energy, do you think there is a secret of electricity hidden in the magnet? Even if not, unlocking the secret of how the magnet absorbs things is a great achievement, right?"
Guo Jiale looked at the dark magnet in front of him and nodded heavily: "This is indeed a research direction, but I will not give up battery research."
"It's up to you. I just want to know what the material is and what its characteristics are. Don't forget to tell me the results once you have them." Song Duanduan put the stool under the table and moved his body: "Starting tomorrow, all the equipment needs to be installed. , we are very busy. I heard that Zhang Ju is already reviewing the railway plan from Beijing to Xuanfu, we need to be more serious."
Guo Jiale didn't seem to hear it. He picked up the iron block and the magnet. There was a certain space between them, but he could clearly feel that the closer the distance, the stronger the adsorption ability.
….
"There must be something in the space between the magnet and the iron block. Although it cannot be seen, it must exist!" Guo Jiale said to himself, picking up a thin wooden partition and blocking it between the magnet and the iron block. , found that its adsorption strength had been weakened a lot, and then said: "Something can block this existence. What could it be? Is it really related to electricity?"
Ye Ling'er stood on the third floor of the teaching building, looking down at the busy supervisors below, her eyes filled with relief. It is relatively simple to move the Confucian Academy. The most valuable items are boxes of classics. It is much easier to rebuild factories one by one than the Craftsman Academy.
Professor Zhang Wenjin came over and said to Ye Ling'er, "Congratulations to Vice President Ye."
Ye Ling'er asked with a smile: "Why are you so happy?"
Zhang Wenjin lowered his hands: "I received news that the Ministry of Civil Affairs is going to promote a group of officials from the government offices to the court. He Zhifu has done an outstanding job in Wenzhou and has a good reputation. I think they will be selected this year. By then, you and your wife will total
It's possible to reunite. "
Ye Ling'er shook her head bitterly: "It's better that he doesn't come to Beijing. With him in Wenzhou Prefecture, the people there can live a good life. This is the best result."
Compared to a small family, everyone is more important.
"After letting the supervisors of Confucian College finish their work, go and help other colleges. There are countless things that need to be arranged, and we can't keep delaying them."
Ye Linger hides her longing.
Zhao Wenjin admired the woman in front of him. She was a person of high moral character and a knowledgeable person.
Imperial City, Cabinet.
Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, and Tie Xuan sat in the hall, each placing their pen, ink, paper and inkstone in their accustomed places.
Yang Shiqi used a paperweight to hold down the paper: "Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, once again proposed to streamline officials to avoid the situation of redundant officials in the former Song Dynasty. The emperor had not nodded before because of the relocation of the capital. Now it is time to deal with this matter."
Tie Xuan agreed: "In the past few years, the imperial salary has increased a lot, and even minor officials and servants can receive generous salaries. This has allowed some officials to find a way. I heard that some county magistrates took office with eighty people. The rest went to take office, and all the relatives became subordinate officials and servants in the government office."
Xie Jin slowly said: "The miscellaneous servants in the government office receive the salary from the imperial court. Although they are not selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they are mainly served by local corvee servants in turn. The local seal officials can indeed fill in many of their own relatives. According to me You see, not only the number of local petty officials and handymen needs to be limited, but also the number of people accompanying officials when they take office must be limited, and restrictions must be placed on those who have registered residence in other places to serve as local government officials.”
Yang Shiqi nodded slightly and agreed: "It should be considered comprehensively and should not be streamlined at will to avoid the same thing happening again in three to five years. The number of officials, subordinate staff, and handymen should be fixed, and increases and decreases need to be made through It can only be approved by the Ministry of Personnel.”
Xie Jin picked up his pen and said, "Then I will draw up a document. How about you two signing it?"
Yang Shiqi and Tie Xuan naturally agreed.
After Xia Yuanji inspected the transfer department warehouse, he was very satisfied with the new warehouse. The warehouse design here not only has the security level of a gunpowder warehouse, but also adds secondary approval for the allocation of money, grain and materials in the warehouse.
If you want to withdraw anything from the warehouse, you need four signatures and four seals from the servant or above, the warehouse manager, the warehouse supervisor, and the approving officer. Although it is a bit complicated, it can avoid self-inflicted theft.
As soon as Xia Yuanji returned to the lobby of the Hubu Yamen Office, Luo Guanying came forward with a smile: "Xia Shangshu, please allocate another 300,000 guan to the navy. You know that the navy is poor..."
