Daming Town Haiwang

"Old Liu, I understand why you are still so popular even after you are old."

On the way back, Zhu Houzhao scratched his head and looked at Liu Jin carefully, but he didn't feel that Liu Jin had one more head than himself.

"Haha, Your Majesty, this may be because everyone likes it differently."

"Like Your Majesty, you have three thousand beauties in the harem. They all admire you very much, and they admire you very much!"

"I only have one or two people who appreciate it. Compared with you, it is really far, far away."

"This Guo Wanmei only likes to know poetry and songs. She doesn't understand Your Majesty's mechanical and electromagnetic attainments. If she does, she must admire you very much."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

This flattery should still be filmed, after all, he is the emperor and he belongs to the courtier.

"Haha, right, I'll just say it."

"This Guo Wanmei doesn't understand electromagnetism and machinery, so she can't appreciate my talent. What's the point of poetry and poetry?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard it, he immediately laughed happily, and the depression of the night also disappeared.

Well, that's right, it's Guo Wanmei who doesn't understand appreciation, doesn't like machinery and electromagnetism.

There are countless beauties in my harem, and all of them worship me.

After I go back, I must discuss the electromagnetic and mechanical issues with them, well, in-depth discussions must be in-depth discussions.

"Old Liu, you have a lot of good fortune. You are already a talented girl who is already giving you a glance. You should seize the opportunity."

Then Zhu Houzhao said to Liu Jin with a wicked smile.

"Ahem, I'm getting old now, so it's better not to delay other people's great youth and years."

Liu Jin suddenly smiled awkwardly.

I am already in my forties, and I will be fifty years old in a few years, so I should stop messing with these things.

When Liu Jin returned home, he quickly forgot about it.

The next day was the weekend, Liu Jin got up early and planned to visit Daming Royal Institute of Technology.

I heard that several new inventions have been made at the Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty recently.

Along with the popularization of basic education in the Ming Dynasty, especially the development of basic science, the Ming Dynasty has made rapid progress in various fields, especially in the field of science and technology. Various new inventions have emerged one after another, and many things in later generations have been invented one after another.

Especially in recent years, with the promotion of electricity, various related inventions have also emerged rapidly, which not only enriched the lives of Daming people, but also greatly improved the productivity of Daming people.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, always pays close attention to various inventions and new things. When there are almost any new things and inventions, Liu Jin will go to see them.

Then when he sees something valuable and worthy of large-scale promotion, Liu Jin will also let people buy the patent, and then carry out large-scale production and promotion.

This is the case with electric lights. Liu Jin not only maintains a huge team to study this electric light, but also establishes Daming Electric Firm to promote and develop electric power-related industries.

This Daming Electric Firm is now the fastest growing firm, driving the development of the entire industry, and its output value is getting bigger and bigger, which can earn a lot of wealth for Liu Jin every year.

It is also because Liu Jin attaches great importance to and vigorously promotes various new technologies and inventions. In disguise, it also promotes the progress of Daming's overall technology and technology. progress and development.

From early steam cultivators, harvesters to trains, to later internal combustion engines, electric power, medical technology, etc., behind the development and promotion of these new technologies and new technologies, Liu Jin is constantly pouring money into support.

If it weren't for Liu Jin's continuous investment of money behind his back, it would have been impossible for Daming to develop to the present stage in just a few decades.

The development speed of Daming science and technology is even faster than the development speed of the West in a hundred years.

Moreover, with the development and progress of science and technology, in recent years, the development speed and progress of this technology have become faster and faster. There is a faint trend of technology explosion before and after World War I in history. The development of science and technology is getting faster and faster. The momentum is getting stronger.

As before, Liu Jin came to Daming Royal Institute of Technology very low-key.

This Daming Royal Institute of Technology is now one of the most famous new universities in Daming, and it is also known as the best college in Daming along with Daming Institute of Technology, Beijing Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Daming Medical College, Daming Institute of Finance and Economics, etc. It is a temple that countless students yearn for .

The admission rate is extremely low every year. In the entire Ming Dynasty, this Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty only enrolls [-] new students a year, but the number of students applying for Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty exceeds one million. The admission rate is very low. Compared with the imperial examination The exams are not bad at all.

The Daming Royal Institute of Technology was founded by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao together, so it also has the name plate of the royal family. In all the new colleges of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the word "royal" is hung, it is basically Zhu Houzhao or Emperor Hongzhi paid for the establishment.

Like the Daming Royal Medical College, which was funded by Emperor Hongzhi to reform the Tai Hospital, improve the medical technology of the Tai Hospital, and emulate the institutions founded by the Daming Medical College.

In addition, there is the Daming Royal Military Academy, which is undoubtedly a school founded by Emperor Hongzhi with the purpose of cultivating professional military talents and generals. Now almost all the generals and officers in the Ming Army are from the Daming Royal Military Academy. Just graduated.

Liu Jin attaches great importance to the development of technology and technology, and knows that education can get twice the result with half the effort. He not only vigorously popularizes new education and schools, but also builds a large number of primary and secondary schools.

It has also invested in the establishment of more than a dozen professional new-style colleges and universities. Over the past few decades, it has also cultivated a large number of new-style talents and promoted the progress of Daming's technology.

Of course, the number of colleges and universities in Ming Dynasty is still very small, counting those established by the imperial court, those established by various places, and those established by some big nobles, big merchants, big business houses and the like.

There are still only a few dozens of colleges and universities in the entire Ming Dynasty, which is still far behind the hundreds of later generations.

But it is also because of the small number and the small number of recruits, so it also has a taste of Western elite education in later generations. Only those who can read have the opportunity to go to these new-style colleges and universities. Those who cannot study should learn some technology early. It is better to go to work.

Daming Royal Institute of Technology has been established for more than 20 years. Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin invest millions of taels of silver in this academy every year.

"How time flies!"

"All the trees I planted with my own hands back then have grown into towering trees!"

Strolling in the campus of the Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty, looking at the young and energetic faces here from time to time, and then looking at the green trees in the campus, Liu Jin also sighed again and again.

When the school was founded, I personally planted a few ginkgo trees here, and now they have grown very large, with luxuriant branches and leaves.

The environment in the whole college is very good, with good greening, well-built and well-maintained lawns everywhere, a lot of flowers and trees, including a lot of valuable trees.

The college organizes students to plant trees every year. The trees planted are often precious trees. Each tree often represents a student. Students who graduated from the college often come back to see the trees they planted by themselves.

Over time, the precious trees that can be seen everywhere in the entire college are green in summer, and in autumn, the entire campus is also golden, and the scenery is very beautiful.

"It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people, and it's worth the money."

Looking at the beautiful campus, and looking at the hardworking students in the college and the many outstanding students who graduated in the past, Liu Jin also felt that his money was not in vain.

The college in front of me has trained a large number of scientific and technological talents for Daming, and promoted the progress and development of Daming in many scientific and technological fields.

Spending money on education is never wrong.

"Perhaps I should suggest to the Son of Heaven to establish the Daming Academy of Sciences and the Daming Engineering Academy in order to further promote the development of Daming's science and technology, and also to give Daming's scientific and technological talents a higher status and status."

Soon, Liu Jin thought of one thing, a way to continue to promote the development of Daming science and technology, that is to affirm the contribution and role of science and technology from the court level.

You don't need to be an official, but this status still needs to be established, and you must respect technology and talents.

"Look, look!"

"Fly up, fly up!"

When Liu Jin was thinking about the future development of Daming Technology, there was a lawn not far away where many students were shouting excitedly, which immediately attracted Liu Jin's attention.

Liu Jin also looked over quickly, and saw a huge balloon was slowly rising into the sky, and there was a big frame under the balloon, with two students inside, and many students around were shouting excitedly.

"hot air balloon?"

Seeing the big ball, Liu Jin shouted out immediately.

PS: Ask for tickets, all kinds of requests!
