I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Fang Xiu hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Body."

Study the body?

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, he didn't know what to think of, a blush appeared on his exquisite face, and he spat: "Is the imperial court spending so much money to establish a medical school, is it just for them to do this kind of thing?"

"What kind of thing is this?"

Fang Xiu listened in a cloud, saw the expression of the little empress, and realized that she had misunderstood himself, and explained: "They study the body, which is different from the two of us. They separate the prisoner's body and then Study the structure."

Wu Mingkong was taken aback again when he heard this.

It took a while to realize what he meant, her pretty face flushed red, and she was speechless for a while.

【Mood value 3000】

A cold system prompt sounded.

Fang Xiu took a look at Wu Mingkong, inexplicably thinking that she was quite cute at this moment.

After a few breaths of silence, he took the initiative to change the subject and rescue the little empress.

"There are many diseases in this world that need to be diagnosed and treated by cutting the body with a sharp knife. For example, it was mentioned in Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Hua Tuo, the genius doctor, wanted to cut Cao Cao's head to remove the root of the disease.
The process of cutting the body open and then suturing it is called surgery. The surgery requires a certain degree of proficiency. Medical students can use those prisoners to hone their surgical skills. "

It was the first time Wu Mingkong heard the word "surgery", and his eyes showed a look of curiosity, and he asked, "Do the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital know how to perform surgery?"

Fang Xiu hesitated and said, "I think some of them will know it."

After a pause, he said again: "Some of the teachers in the medical school are the imperial doctors of the Taiyuan Hospital. They have read the medical techniques published by Zhufengxuan and got a lot of inspiration from them. They decided to try to follow the principles of Zhufengxuan's medical techniques. The method cures the disease and saves the patient, they call it a new type of medicine!

The main research of the medical school is the new medical technique, and the method of surgery is the most important method in the new medical technique, and any medical school student must master it proficiently. "

"New medical techniques. Unexpectedly, there are also new medical techniques."

Wu Mingkong pondered for a while, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "Since the students of the medical school are busy studying their bodies, I won't bother them anymore, let's go back to the palace."

Fang Xiu replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After a stick of incense.

Wu Mingkong and Fang Xiu returned to the luxurious carriage.

On the sandalwood table, there are all kinds of fresh melons and fruits.

Wu Mingkong picked up an orange, peeled it, put it in his mouth, ate it, and said: "The four major academies are indeed of great benefit to the imperial court, especially the engineering academies and agricultural academies. Give them some money."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his thoughts.

"Compared to other academies, the four major academies are not small in scale, but the talents they cultivate are still not enough for the imperial court. Among other things, the Royal Bank and Zhenbaozhai need a lot of people who are proficient in mathematics.

Among the four major academies, only Mingxiu Academy can train students who are proficient in mathematics, and it can only train less than one hundred people a year. This number of people is not enough for the Royal Bank and Zhenbao Zhai!
In fact, it is not only the Royal Bank and Zhenbaozhai that lack mathematics talents, but also the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. In fact, they also lack mathematics talents. "

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong thought for a while, with a look of approval on his face, and said: "You are right, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and the Royal Bank, many of the things they deal with on weekdays use arithmetic. That being the case, how about expanding Mingxiu Academy and recruiting more students?"

The voice just fell.

Fang Xiu sighed, and said leisurely, "How many students do you think Mingxiu Academy can recruit?"

Wu Mingkong thought for a while, and said with a serious face: "I heard that a few days ago, many merchants and officials were scrambling to send their children to Mingxiu Academy. It costs 1000 taels of silver, so in my opinion, recruiting another 100 people is not a problem."

Fang Xiudao: "Does Your Majesty think that these 100 people can fill the gaps in the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and the Royal Bank?"

Wu Mingkong fell silent when he heard this question.

indeed.

Compared with the lack of people, even if you recruit a hundred more, it is still a drop in the bucket.

"Then what do you plan to do? Build another mathematics academy, just like the other three academies, and only charge students a small fee?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu and asked curiously.

Fang Xiu shook his head lightly, and said: "The reason why the other three academies can recruit students is because the students they recruit are engaged in related matters, or are interested in agriculture, engineering, and medicine. The second is that the number of people recruited is relatively small, and there is still money allocated by the imperial court to create research and development for them.
Mathematical science is different. Let’s not say that arithmetic itself is boring, just say that after learning this thing, it is of little use to scholars. If there is no imperial examination, how many people are willing to learn it? "

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong frowned slightly, and said: "You are right, arithmetic is a miscellaneous science, and it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate a lot of money to study it. If it is not for special interest in it, most of them No reader would want to learn it."

Speaking of this, Wu Mingkong looked up at Fang Xiu, and asked curiously: "In this case, how do you plan to cultivate talents in mathematics?"

Fang Xiu looked solemn, and said slowly: "In my heart, the importance of arithmetic is no less than that of a sage. No matter how much you invest, it is worth it."
Therefore, I plan to build academies in various prefectures and prefectures, so that children of suitable ages can enroll and only learn three subjects of knowledge. One is Chinese. One is mathematics, and the third is physics. The so-called physics is the principle of everything in the world. I once said to His Majesty. "

Build academies in every state and capital?
How much silver will this cost?
The most important thing is that the imperial examination does not take these exams, so who would want their children to study these useless miscellaneous studies?
At this point, Wu Mingkong frowned, looked at Fang Xiu, and expressed his inner thoughts.

"If the academy teaches the three disciplines, I'm afraid not many people are willing to send their children to study."

Fang Xiudao: "If you enter the academy to study, you don't charge any money, and you provide three meals for each child? How many parents who can't eat enough themselves are willing to send their children to study?"

The voice fell.

Wu Mingkong opened his mouth slightly, a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong.

Don't charge students money, but also provide them with free meals!

Doing so can indeed attract a considerable number of children from poor people to enroll, but the money spent is also an unimaginable figure.

The most important thing is to do so, what's the point?
Is it just to get a batch of math talents after many years?
After a long silence, Wu Mingkong still couldn't help but said, "I think you're crazy."

Fang Xiu had expected the reaction of the little empress.

In today's academies that implement similar compulsory education in Dagan, it is really no different from going crazy.

but.

If you don’t do this, if you want to develop science and cultivate talents, you can only change the imperial examination.

And changing the imperial examination involves a lot.

Now Qian and Zhou have not stabilized.

Doing so rashly is very likely to cause turmoil.

thus.

Think about it.

Fang Xiu still decided to build a small number of academies for compulsory education in each state and capital, and first cultivate a part of scientific reserve talents, and then carry out thorough reforms after the large-scale army will unify the countries in the future.

"I'm not crazy. In fact, the idea of ​​setting up academies in various states and capitals has gone through countless times of thinking about setting up academies that don't charge money. It will indeed put a lot of pressure on the national treasury in a short period of time, and it will be impossible to obtain any money. The results, but after a few years, the benefits brought to me by working hard cannot be estimated with money!"

Fang Xiu's tone was extremely firm. He stared at the Empress with a pair of deep eyes, and said solemnly: "After many years, Your Majesty will know that the most important thing for the imperial court is talent! The talents here are not only those who can study sage books hard. Talents are not only those who can handle government affairs, but also those who understand science!"

Wu Mingkong hadn't seen Fang Xiu showing such an expression for a long time, he was startled for a while, and then fell silent.

Although she doesn't know what science is, she can probably understand it in context. It is nothing more than a collective term for arithmetic, physics, medicine, and agriculture.

These are indeed important, but as Fang Xiu said, are they more important than others?

Based on her knowledge, it is currently impossible to make a judgment.

But she believed in Fang Xiu's judgment.

Since Fang Xiu said so, it should be right.

After all, Fang Xiu has never made a wrong decision in the past two or three years.

Thinking of this.

Wu Mingkong no longer hesitated, looked at Fang Xiu, and nodded: "Since you said so, I will open academies in various states and cities according to your ideas."

In fact, even without her permission, Fang Xiu can do many things.

However, on many key matters, she and Fang Xiu always had to discuss and reach an agreement in advance.

In fact, it was Fang Xiu who used various means to persuade her.

Then, she agreed to Fang Xiu's request.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Seeing that the little empress agreed with his idea, Fang Xiu showed a warm smile on his face, reached out to pick up an orange, and peeled off the outer skin.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong moved his face closer and opened his mouth.

"what"

Fang Xiu put the orange near her mouth with a smile, then quickly stuffed it into his own mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

【Mood value 2000】

"you!"

Wu Mingkong glared at him angrily, and scolded angrily, "You dog!"

After being scolded, Fang Xiu was not annoyed at all. Instead, he found it cute and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, the little empress felt as if she had punched the cotton, and became even more annoyed, so she couldn't help but get close to him and started to fight with him.

in the carriage.

The two were playing and playing.

Chang'an City, in Zhenbaozhai.

Li Yaoyue carefully browsed the reports submitted by various branches.

watched for a while.

She put down the report and took up her pen to write a letter.

at this time.

A clerk came over, first saluted, and then said respectfully: "Madam, there is a letter from the cloth village, saying that I want you to see it in person!"

With a cold expression, Li Yaoyue reached out to take the letter, opened it, and read it from top to bottom.

Just for a moment.

Her expression changed, and a look of astonishment appeared on her expressionless face.

The letter said that the batch of cotton yarn shipped from Gusu some time ago has now been woven into cotton cloth, asking how to deal with it.

According to common sense, although the quantity of this batch of cotton yarn is not large, it is impossible for the cloth shop to weave all of them in just a few days.

but.

There is no need for Buzhuang to deceive her.

Li Yaoyue held the letter, feeling a little dazed for a while.

After a while, she suddenly thought that a few days ago, when the cotton yarn first arrived in Chang'an, people from the Academy of Engineering sent something called Feishuo, which said it could increase the efficiency of weaving by several times.

She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it is very likely that the existence of the flying shuttle made the cotton yarn woven into cotton cloth in such a short period of time.

"I didn't expect that a small shuttle could play such a huge role."

Li Yaoyue sighed in her heart, looked at the buddy, and said coldly: "Let the steward of the cloth village come to see me."

"Yes, ma'am!"

An hour later.

The steward of the cloth village came to Zhenbaozhai, and after saluting, he said respectfully, "Madam, what are your orders?"

Li Yaoyue glanced at her and asked, "How is the quality of the cotton cloth woven by the shuttle?"

The steward replied hastily: "If you go back to Madam, the quality is not much different from before, except that the woven fabric is wider."

Li Yaoyue asked again: "If I give you ten times more cotton yarn, how long will it take you to weave them all into cloth?"

The steward thought for a while, and replied, "One and a half months."

One and a half months, the difference is just the eve of the Chinese New Year, when the people's demand for cloth is the greatest, and it is also the time when the price of cloth is the highest.

Li Yaoyue said lightly: "Understood, let's go down."

"Yes."

The steward saluted, turned and left.

Li Yaoyue thought for a moment, looked at the assistant, and ordered: "Send a caravan to the country of Wu to buy cotton yarn."

Hearing this, the clerk showed hesitation on his face, and said, "Ma'am, isn't it a bit late to buy cotton yarn at this time?"

Li Yaoyue gave him a cold look and didn't speak.

Seeing this, the buddy trembled in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The little one is talking too much, so let's do it now."

As soon as the words fell, Li Yaoyue called to stop her.

"Wait!"

The man stopped in his tracks and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, please order."

Li Yaoyue said calmly: "Tell the leader of the caravan that the price of cotton yarn can be increased by [-]% at most, and you can accept as much as you can."

"Little one understands."

The man saluted again, turned and left.

Li Yaoyue looked at his back, silently calculating in her heart.

With this batch of cotton yarn, the improved loom can be used to make cloth, which can bring some benefits to Zhenbaozhai.

If nothing else happens, after the Chinese New Year, Lilan at the Treasure Show will be able to double.

I just hope that Fang Xiu can fulfill his promise and allow himself to go to Jinnan.

Thinking about this, Li Yaoyue picked up the branch report again and read it carefully.
