Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 526

The central square of Xishan Institute of Technology was crowded with people, and it took three months for Xishan Institute of Technology to officially open the mountain to give lectures.

On the edge of the center of the square, facing south stands a six-storey masonry building called Gewulou, which is used for the office of the teaching staff.

At this time, all the disciples of the Engineering College and all the teachings were standing in the square, looking forward to it.

"Hey, have you heard that today not only our head of the mountain is coming to give a speech, but also the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court will also join in?" A half-grown boy in coarse clothes who was obviously a farmer's boy tilted his head and said humanely to his side.

"Why didn't I hear that our head of the mountain is the king of Anguo County, how dare the head of the mountain invite Lord Shang Shu?" Another person replied.

"My name is Shi Kai from Henan. My father is a stonemason. What do you call him?" Another group of people also whispered, introducing each other to their later classmates.

"My name is Niu Dali, from Shuntian Mansion. My father asked me to come to the Institute of Engineering to learn crafts." The person who said this was a strong and half-grown man, and he seemed to have a good family background in the year of natural disasters.

"Our engineering college has more than [-] subjects, which three did you apply for?" A group of half-grown boys from all over the country got acquainted after a while.

Except for a few masters of engineering who are well-known in the Ming Dynasty, most of the teachings of the Institute of Engineering come from the Ordnance Institute. As early as a month ago, Song Yingxing, Xu Ji and Liu Hongjian discussed the teaching of the establishment of the Institute of Engineering. suject.

The subjects are mainly divided into two categories, one is heavy industry and the other is light industry.

Under heavy industry, it is divided into civil engineering, mining, and smelting, and under civil engineering, it is divided into housing, bridges, transportation, water conservancy and other subjects.

Mining is divided into oil mining, coal mining, metal ore mining, non-metallic ore mining, timber logging...

The subjects below smelting are the most, metal smelting alone is divided into several types, and there are also coking, cement, coal, stone reprocessing, chemistry...

Light industry is divided into textiles and daily chemicals, and subdivided into cotton, wool, linen, and silk textiles and sewing, leather and its products, paper, glass, ceramics, etc.

The College of Engineering stipulates that each student must first choose heavy industry or light industry, and then must choose one subject as compulsory, and two subjects as elective, and the schooling period is two years.

"My father is a stonemason, so I naturally choose smelting. For the other two, I want to choose metal mining and refining. As for the elective, I haven't decided yet." Shi Kai scratched his head and replied.

"Hey, what's your name, little man? Why don't you talk?" Niu Dali saw a skinny boy in luxurious clothes standing silently next to him and asked, patting him on the shoulder.

Seeing that the conditions at Jinxingtou's house should be good, Shi Kai couldn't help but frowned.

"Oh, Sun Yunqiu, from Wujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture." The little man cupped his hands.

"Southern people, you don't see many people in engineering colleges!" Niu Dali replied.

In the eyes of most northerners, there are many talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of them are people who like to dance, write and write. However, this little man can be seen as coming from a wealthy family or from Jiangnan, so he can't help but create a gap between the poor boys.

"Knowledge does not distinguish between north and south, I only ask for real knowledge, and please take care of me." Sun Yunqiu clasped his hands in a circle and said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Come on, come on!" A group of people came in from the gate of the Engineering College while everyone was talking.

Two rows of personal guards, Hu La La, came in first and looked around. They didn't care about these teachings or students, they had only one task under any circumstances, to protect the safety of their own adults.

Liu Hongjian and Fan Jingwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, came hand in hand, and accepted the greetings from the teachers and students with a smile.

Fan Jingwen was forced to come by Liu Hongjian, and he didn't even go to court early, which is a serious crime in the court. Although Liu Hongjian told him that he had greeted Chongzhen, Fan Jingwen was still uneasy.

Liu Hongjian boarded a platform made of bluestone, and everyone below was silently waiting for Master Shanchang to speak.

Among the students in the first batch, there were poor people who could not afford to eat, and some were children from craftsmen's families, but most of them were the former.

Although the imperial court has promulgated an imperial decree to allow the families of craftsmen to freely choose their jobs, the 300-year-old grievances still make the people of Ming Dynasty think that craftsmen are a lowly profession.

Because of this, for most of the students, Liu Hongjian was the Anguo County King of Daming first, and then the mountain chief of the Engineering College. Most of them came here with the idea of ​​making a living.

After all, the College of Engineering provides room and board.

"You may know who I am, I am your mountain leader, and it is the only name you will call me from now on.

Here, there is no status or inferiority, and I don’t care whether you were poor people or wealthy families before. In the engineering college, you are all classmates, and you have only one task. Put down your prejudices, pursue true knowledge, search for the best, and serve the industry. Forge ahead for the prosperity of Ming Dynasty, and forge ahead for the rise of Ming Dynasty. "

Liu Hongjian put away his smile, and looked at the curious children below.

"The head of the mountain also knows that many of you entered the engineering school to reduce the burden on the family, it's no big deal, the head of the mountain accepts you.

but!The College of Engineering is not a place to be lazy. Starting today, the College of Engineering will start teaching, and you will have one month to accept the preliminary assessment of your respective teaching staff.

Those who are not qualified, the head of the mountain will issue road funds and repatriate them to their original places.

Afterwards, there will be an assessment every three months, and those who fail to pass will still be sent back. Even if only a hundred people remain in the end, the head of the mountain will not hesitate, and no one will be accepted here to wait for death!

Good scholars, those who are suspicious of everything, and those who dare to climb the peak of science and technology, Mr. Benshan assures you that the School of Engineering will provide the best teaching conditions and the most experienced teachings in the Ming Dynasty. This will be your starting point!The starting point for take-off! "

Liu Hongjian knew the situation and thoughts of these [-] students, but it had to be explained to them that the Institute of Engineering would never practice bureaucracy, and everything was about ability.

As soon as they spoke, some of the young students below lowered their heads, and some were excited. Shi Kai and Niu Dali clenched their fists and almost shouted. Sun Yunqiu still stood upright, but his face was full of longing.

"Have you seen this old man? He is Master Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, please hear me!" Liu Hongjian changed the topic, turned around and pulled Fan Jingwen's sleeve, and said with a smirk.

"Hello, Mr. Fan!" Many students naturally obeyed Mr. Shanchang's words, but their voices were not very neat.

"Hello, students, I am happy to study, I am happy to study, and I will serve the court in the future." Uncle Fan was embarrassed by Liu Hongjian's operation, and subconsciously replied embarrassingly.

He still didn't know what the Duke of the county had brought him here for. He asked him several times, but Liu Hongjian refused to say anything.

"Craftsman is no longer a lowly job, craftsman will be the glory of Ming Dynasty, Master Benshan announced that after three years, when you finish your studies, the College of Engineering will be responsible for arranging the livelihood of all your children!

At that time, the doors of the workshops of the Ministry of Industry will also be open to you, and the starting salary will be three taels of silver per month!Isn't that right, Master Fan? " Liu Hongjian said back again.

"Ah?" Fan Jingwen was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what this kid was up to.

The cabinet only discussed the salaries of craftsmen yesterday, and the salaries of the lowest-level craftsmen in the workshops of the Ministry of Industry were raised to two or two monthly salaries.

The meaning of Liu Hongjian's words is very clear. The starting salary of all engineering college graduates is three taels.

"Well, what the lord said is that within three years, I will be waiting for you, and you are welcome to join the workshop!" Although there is an excess, fortunately, the difference is not too big, so it is not difficult to think about it.

If engineering can prosper, he, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is also honored. Although Fan Jingwen was sent to the army, he still deserves to be applauded.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fan, after three years you will be very proud of today's Yinuo!" Liu Hongjian turned his head and whispered to Fan Jingwen.

He also knows that this matter is a bit embarrassing, but the establishment of the Engineering College was to revitalize the industrial level of Daming. Basic books, if you don't want to be strong, you won't do.

The reason why Liu Hongjian brought Fan Jingwen here was to let these poor students put down their worries and focus on scientific research.

After all, the work has already been assigned, the salary is not low, and food and housing are included, so why do you want so much?
"Tell Ben Shan what is the school motto of the Engineering College with all your strength?" Liu Hongjian raised his voice.

"Study on reason and achieve success on work!" [-] students shouted in unison. Maybe they were uneasy about the craftsman's journey before, but now they got the promise, and all the students became excited.

These eight characters stood on a piece of white marble about ten feet high in front of the gate of the engineering college, and the students naturally remembered it in their hearts.

"Maybe you are proud of joining the School of Engineering now, but when you finish your studies three years later, the School of Engineering will also be proud of you!

Finally, welcome to join Daming Royal Institute of Technology! "

PS: Sun Yunqiu, an optical instrument manufacturer and inventor in the late Ming Dynasty, manufactured more than [-] kinds of optical instruments, and was known as "the scientific giant of the Ming Dynasty".
