The rise of the prince

Chapter 562 Chapter 540 Two, Teaching
Gillian, Shiyu, and two girls who went to study together used the small graphite crucible of the palace to burn the purest glass in the world. It was crystal clear, like crystal, and the girls were dumbfounded.

One of these two girls is Xiaohui, the girl brought by Gillian when she married into the palace, and she is also a girl with ingenuity.

He told a few little girls to keep it secret, and then make one piece every day, save it first, not sell it, and don't let outsiders know, it's useful for him.

The transparent glass is not in a hurry, this is a step in Tulip's plan, and the current progress is smoother than he imagined.

Li Xingzhou asked Zhu Rong to start firing a special graphite crucible.

This kind of crucible is imitated from Li Xingzhou's seventh grandma's ceramic crucible, with the same thickness and shape.Don't underestimate these things. The thickness and shape of the crucible are the result of countless times of continuous improvement by the craftsmen in practical operations. It is a valuable experience that is worth thousands of dollars.

After the new graphite crucible was added, the graphite mine stock in Wangfu has begun to run out.

It is estimated that it will be used up by the end of this year.

At present, there are three kinds of graphite mine products, one is graphite crucible used in crucible steelmaking method, and the other is graphite refractory brick used in cement kiln. Crucible, still requires graphite.

Heat resistance, thermal conductivity, graphite is destined to be so good
It is no wonder that later generations m will list graphite as a strategic resource and protect graphite deposits.

Now what the Wangfu has to worry about is that the graphite storage of the Wangfu has not been purchased.

Before Xiao Hongqi sold a large amount of graphite mines from Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom, the inventory of the Wangfu was filled at that time, but now that the Liao Kingdom is in war, after Shangjing fell into the hands of the Jinren, the Wangfu lost its source of graphite.

After Xiao Hongqi fled to Jingguo to join him, he has been working with Yan Kun. He can speak Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian, and Chinese. He is a very rare talent. Use it later.

At the back of the mountain, while Zhu Rong organized people to open a new kiln, he said to Li Xingzhou beside him: "My lord, according to this usage, the graphite mine is only enough for the second half of this year."

Li Xingzhou nodded: "It seems that we have to find a solution as soon as possible." He began to regret why he didn't memorize the locations of important mineral deposits in the whole country. Without knowing the general location, it is very difficult to conduct a nationwide survey, because the transportation is not as developed as in the later generations, and if it is not possible, there are helicopters and even satellites.

Under the current circumstances, exploration may not produce results in ten or eight years.

At present, the only way he can directly obtain graphite mines is from Shangjing. If there is no graphite, more than half of the palace will be dead.

Jin Guo went to Beijing!Li Xingzhou meditated several times in his heart
That night, after everyone had dinner together, Li Xingzhou told some interesting stories to a few little girls, probably anecdotes about geography. Everyone listened with gusto, their faces were full of admiration, they questioned a few sentences from time to time, and then they were fooled by him In the past, it was fun.

After the sky darkened and he had nothing else to do, he took Gillian to exercise. The little girl was still young and couldn't stand too much trouble, so he ran to find Shiyu after coaxing her to sleep.

Seeing him coming, Shiyu understood what he wanted to do, gave him a shy and angry look, but did not refuse at all.

Afterwards, Shiyu lay quietly in his arms, and reported to him softly: "I have already bought the Yongyue Pavilion, and it has been changed in the past two days.

Tables, chairs, teaching aids and the like have been prepared, and children in the Wangfu can be sent there to study at about the same age, such as those from Uncle Ji’s family, the grandson of Yan Kun’s family, and Xiao Guqi from Gufeng’s family, etc., at least There are twenty people. "

Li Xingzhou nodded. Today's private schools are mostly run by rich families, and some are jointly run, but few people can study.

The royal heirs are educated by specialized teachers in the Imperial College.

"Thank you." Li Xingzhou smoothed the broken hair on her forehead.

"But the master hasn't found it yet, and he didn't say anything about what he wants to teach." Shiyu said: "You are the master of the palace, and you have the final say on all these things."

"I am the owner of the palace, so I have the final say on everything."

"That's natural."

"Then I still want to."

"Don't even think about it!" Shiyu blushed and put her hands on his chest.

"Didn't you say you listen to me?" Li Xingzhou refused.

"That means serious business." Shiyu retorted.

"Hey, isn't this a serious matter? What a big deal."

"No." Shiyu said.

Li Xingzhou had no choice but to give up for the time being. Shiyu let go of his hand and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to teach, so that I can find Mr., and teach classics, history and literature like ordinary academies?"

"Don't teach those." Li Xingzhou thought for a while, "You can teach them how to read and craft, so as to train more craftsmen for the palace."

Shiyu was taken aback for a moment, and thought about it carefully, "Craftsman? Could it be that you want to teach the Mohists?"

"Of course not." Li Xingzhou said.

Among the hundreds of scholars in the pre-Qin period, the Mohist school was very famous and represented the interests of craftsmen, but it was a pity that the Mohist school had its appearance but not its heart.To put it bluntly, the Mohism has the work of craftsmen, but it does not have the support of the core of scientific spirit.

To put it simply, the Mohists emphasize craftsmen, but the Mohist ideology believes in ghosts and gods. The core spiritual pillar is the superstition of ghosts and gods, and ghosts and gods are used to restrain people.

This kind of theory that has its appearance but not its content is not advisable. In other words, Mohism’s starting point is good, representing the interests of the majority of craftsmen, but it lacks the core scientific spiritual support, which will eventually lead Mohism to go astray. It is not advisable for future royal talents.

"Then what do you want to teach?" Shiyu was puzzled: "I'm not as smart as you, but I don't necessarily read less than you. You want to educate craftsmen for the palace. You don't teach Mohism, but you can still teach them classics and history. In the future You can’t create things with words.”

Li Xingzhou smiled and whispered in her ear, "You can learn from Xunzi."

"Xunzi's study?" Shiyu's ears were red, and he looked at him puzzled.

Li Xingzhou nodded, "The main thing is to teach Xunzi's learning, but it can't be taught now. The children are still young. Find a few ordinary teachers to teach them how to read and memorize." There is another reason he didn't say, because the emperor is still there, he doesn't Dare to teach.

"I haven't really read anything about Xunzi's studies. I'll look for ancient books someday." Shiyu said.

He nodded and said: "Yes, I also hope that you understand Xunzi's learning, but remember, you can't talk about what happened tonight, including the fact that I want to teach the world about Xunzi's learning."

Shiyu looked at him puzzled, "Why can't you say it?"

"When you read Xunzi's study, you will understand." Li Xingzhou put his arms around her, "Go to sleep, there are still many things to do at the Privy Council tomorrow."

Shiyu nodded and closed her eyes.
