The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 545 Physics and Chemistry of the Imperial College

Beijing.

Chengxian Street.

After renovation, the straight road was expanded twice, two railway tracks were laid in the middle, and a fountain was built in the square.

The tall bell and the glazed eaves are majestic and majestic.

After the holiday.

The princes returned to school from all over the Ming Dynasty, wearing scholar uniforms and walking in groups on the streets.

The shops on both sides are in peak season again.

A group of inspectors came out of the alley, fully armed, and with military marks on their backs, it could be judged that they were retired from the military.

He has studied, passed the examination, has high overall quality, stable salary, and little power. In the highest academic district of the Ming Dynasty, even the inspector Ding Chao has a gentle face.

The main archway on Chengxian Street was changed into cement pillars, painted with bright red pillars.

"Jingle Bell."

The bus passed the street archway and entered Chengxian Street.

After passing the straight road, shops and squares, we arrived at Jixian Gate, where there are shady woods and clusters of buildings.

The small lake and arch bridge, and the public carriage inside the Imperial College.

Guoxue Alley.

The students ate various snacks, chatted happily, and exchanged the information they had brought. The vendors at the stalls showed respect in their eyes.

"What a big change."

Office building.

Zhao Sheng was summoned by the Jijiu Public Room. Looking at the extremely beautiful school through the glass window, he couldn't help but sigh.

"There are more than 4000 students in the Imperial College, and there is a lot of pressure."

Dong Dezhang smiled.

The Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty had tens of thousands of students at its peak, making it the largest institution of higher learning in the world.

The Imperial College in Beijing was originally the only one, but due to competition from the Imperial College in Peking, a large number of scholars chose Peking.

Because the reform of the Imperial College in Peking was many years ahead of the Imperial College in Beijing, it was more complete and advanced.

Also for the sake of political future, many scholars chose Peiping instead of the capital, which caused the number of supervisors in the Imperial College in the capital to drop to more than [-].

"The capital is always the capital, and those who are near the water get the moon first. I believe it won't take many years for the Imperial College in the capital to return to its original size."

Zhao Sheng smiled.

Dong Dezhang couldn't help but think, what did it have to do with him at that time? The credit of those who came after him was just like the people who planted trees for the people who came after them to enjoy the shade.

He hopes to improve the level of the Imperial College in Beijing during his term of office. This will maximize his interests.

"After long and careful consideration, I still hope that you will serve as the secretary, no longer responsible for teaching, and fully responsible for the development of the Imperial Academy in the capital."

Dong Dezhang said expectantly.

Doctors have their own project teams, and the professor is the teacher, and there are direct lecturers under the professor to help teach.

PhDs occasionally teach, but this is not the norm.

The management of the Imperial College is Si Ye and Jian Cheng, who are responsible for the Imperial Wine Festival.

Zhao Sheng was not a doctor. He served as an instructor in the Imperial College in the capital. Because he had too many positions, he did not have all the energy to stay in the Imperial College.

Dong Dezhang hopes to retain Zhao Sheng.

He gave up his teaching position and became the director of the Imperial College. He was responsible for the entire reform of the Imperial College and focused his energy on the Imperial College rather than the research department.

There is a specialization in surgery.

Zhao Sheng's qualifications convinced Dong Dezhang that only this person could reform the Imperial College in Beijing to surpass that of the Imperial College in Peking within a few years.

Peking Imperial College has a complete education system from children to university, which is the advantage of Peking Province.

Then the advantage of the Imperial College in Beijing is to select talents with outstanding talents from all over the country.

Peking is one in a hundred, and Beijing is one in a thousand, winning by quality.

Zhao Sheng stood in front of the window, his face showing hesitation.

"You are not suitable for leading a group."

"You are suitable for doing practical affairs. Leave complex external matters to me. We will work together and divide the work internally and externally."

Dong Dezhang's eyes were very sincere.

He did.

Zhao Sheng was talented. He was born in a wealthy family and received a good education. He was the son of a military official and had a good family background.

In the early days, I participated in the internal clerkship of China Heavy Industries, and was exposed to the overall development of China Heavy Industries, and had a high-level perspective.

Later, he was entrusted with the important task of preparing for the construction of the Peking Library, which can be said to have a rich reserve of knowledge, and then took charge of the imperial policy research project.

What a valuable talent this is.

If he can cooperate with himself, Dong Dezhang is confident that in the shortest possible time, he can reverse the situation of the Imperial College in Beijing with backward ideas in an industrialized society and catch up with the advantages of the Imperial College in Peking.

"I remember you submitted a manuscript to the court."

"In the future, the social division of labor will become more and more detailed, coupled with Ming Dynasty's people-oriented and social resource allocation policy, it will bring about a more complex environment, and the governance of things will be ten times and a hundred times more complicated than now."

"I think it's a pity that your talents are wasted on intrigues and calculating the gains and losses of people's hearts."

"Just like the previous turmoil, you should not announce it. Some things can be announced and some things cannot be announced."

Dong Dezhang smiled and said: "I am still wise. Only by cultivating more scholars can we achieve the social model proposed by His Royal Highness. Otherwise, no matter how the productivity develops, the common people will only be the objects to be managed."

"Under the leadership of you and me, the Imperial College in Beijing has been restored to its original level. What a great achievement this is."

Zhao Sheng had to admit that he was convinced by the wine sacrifice.

in a few days.

The Imperial College in Beijing announced the latest personnel adjustment, telling the Imperial College in Beijing that Zhao Sheng would serve as the director.

Jijiu personally stepped out to support Zhao Sheng. "The molds used to cast mirrors are made of plant ash and fine sand, while the mirrors are made of copper and tin without zinc. "Kaogong Ji" also says: "An alloy of half copper and half tin is the material for making mirrors and flints. "

The Imperial College classroom in Beijing.

He was speaking directly on the podium, teaching university textbooks compiled by Peiping.

"The reflection of the mirror is due to the mercury attached to the mirror body. It is not the luster of copper."

"The mirrors in the palace during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty were all made of half silver and half copper. Each mirror was worth several taels of silver. It is for this reason."

"There are cinnabar-like spots on the mirror surface, which are expressions of the gold and silver content contained in it. Ancient incense burners were cast with gold added to it."

"Don't underestimate the production of mirrors. After research by scholars, they believe that it is related to the avenues of chemistry and physics."

"For example, why do mirrors reflect light? I wonder if you have ever thought about it."

Zhi said with a smile: "Sometimes, truth is often hidden in daily life, but people are accustomed to it, so they don't explore it."

There were dozens of students in the audience.

"Reflection is a physical phenomenon proposed by physicists and can be found in large quantities in our daily lives."

"But have you ever thought about it? Flat glass is also smooth. If there is no layer of reflective material behind it, why is it basically non-reflective?"

"It shows that whether it can reflect light is not directly related to whether it is smooth. What kind of truth is hidden in this."

……

"Now let's talk about the chemistry in the mirror. Common materials such as gold, silver, and copper are already the most common elements in chemistry."

"Mercury, tribute, tin, etc., also incorporate chemical elements."

"This is a subject of chemistry."

The students took notes one after another.

The Imperial College provides student loans, and any graduate student can apply.

Through student loans, every Imperial College student is guaranteed a good study environment and will not be unable to afford stationery due to poverty.

Pens and scratch paper are cheap and every supervisor can afford them.

The latest research results published in technical newspapers are often included in the textbooks of the Imperial College within half a year.

Imperial College teaching materials.

The efficiency of change is very high, which can be said to be the highest level of productivity in Ming Dynasty society. Each of the supervisors trained has the cutting-edge knowledge needed to lead the times.

Whether they can become the trendsetter of the times depends on their respective talents and opportunities.

Chengxian Street in front of the Imperial College Gate, the bus system covers Chunhua New Town and Jiangning New Town.

There was an endless stream of ships on the Yangtze River, bringing a large amount of goods.

The recovery of maritime transport, along with the development of productivity in the Ming Dynasty, not only did not affect water transport, but because the transport carrying capacity on the canal could not meet the market demand, a large number of Caohe canal ships were working at full capacity.

"This is authentic star anise from Java. Smell it."

The waiter in the store tried his best to sell it.

The businessman grabbed two pills and actually put them into his mouth and tasted them. They tasted sweet, oily and had a strong aroma.

The premise is that you can endure the irritating taste.

The waiter's throat moved up and down. This person was definitely a veteran.

"Are there any ginkgo?"

"There are some."

The waiter led the businessman to look at it, "This is from Bo Ni Country. Even though they all produce spices in these areas, different varieties of spices in each region have different benefits."

"And white cardamom, the best spice to remove fishy smell."

The businessman nodded and asked for some of everything.

outside the shop.

An ordinary carriage passed by.

Wei Yi looked at the streets of the capital through the carriage window. What was amazing was that there were more food shops on both sides of the streets.

Competition among big restaurants has become more intense.

The restaurant owners who made their fortune in Peiping started the restaurant industry chain and opened branches one after another.

Common people cannot understand this phenomenon.

When Wei Yi sees external affairs with his eyes, the principles contained in them will arise in his heart, and he is full of a high degree of understanding of society.

There are no more sedan chairs on the streets.

It is caused by the scarcity of manpower.

Although there are beggars in the capital, the scarcity of manpower also exists. This is not a social contradiction, but an inevitable phenomenon of development.

So buses became the main means of transportation, followed by horse-drawn carriages.

"Crackling."

The horse's hooves stepped on the stone bricks, making a crisp sound.

Wei Yi lowered the curtain.

The capital is just a bigger Peking.

The carriage arrived at Donghua Gate. After inspection, the guards reassured them and entered the Wenhua Hall area.

Finally, Wei Yi got off the carriage and walked to the Wenhua Hall.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Emperor."

"Please sit down."

"Wei Yi, I haven't seen you for two months."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

　Please vote for me, thank you dear book friends, and wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a happy family.
