I quickly expressed my gratitude to Uncle Li: "Thank you, my father-in-law, for your unsincere. In fact, the main reason is that the territory is not regular, so the son-in-law designed the building based on the terrain and the characteristics of the academy itself. He definitely did not deliberately make things difficult for all the masters of the Ministry of Rites."

"Well, that's good, but I heard from Zhinu, you are going to run a school in academy? This idea is fresh and indeed good. I once saw you in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Yingchuan Academy mentioned. Although it is a place for literati and wise men to escape, it has gathered heroes in the world. The academy has a prosperous culture and academics in the country. I think this must be the thoughts and ideas that a virtuous son-in-law have long had, right?"

"My father-in-law, the son-in-law was just writing nonsense. Later, Fang Zi felt that this was also a way. Of course, the son-in-law did not dare to be arrogant. He thought he could solve his doubts for others. In fact, he was entrusted by his friends. In addition, the son-in-law was busy with official duties, so it was impossible to explain and teach people at once. Therefore, he thought of such a way. Those who listened to the son-in-law's simple views could go to the academy to hear it. First, let the son-in-law be a little lazy, and secondly, it also gave everyone the opportunity to discuss and make progress together."

My words made Uncle Li quite applaud: "Well, the idea of ​​a virtuous son-in-law is indeed somewhat insightful. For this, I will not interfere in this matter. You should do it slowly first. If you can succeed in the future, it will be a place for me to reserve talents in the Tang Dynasty. I have always been optimistic about you, don't let me down."

"Thank you, my father-in-law, for your mercy, I will definitely work hard to do it." After hearing Uncle Li's words, I felt relieved. That's all. With Uncle Li's acquiescence, it's only a matter of time before the school runs.

At this time, Li Zhi spoke and asked Uncle Li to divide all the equipment workshops under the Ministry of Works of the Tang Dynasty, including all weapons-related workshops, into the Wushu Research Institute, to form a more efficient Tang Dynasty military preparation research and production group. "...The concentration of all workshop personnel will not only facilitate the allocation of manpower and working hours, but also systematically utilize existing resources and do more work.

Moreover, after unification, the operation method of our Tang Wushu Research Institute can also play a considerable role in helping us.”

After listening to Li Zhi's advice, Uncle Li also asked me about this idea. "The prince's words, and the son-in-law also had this idea. And the son-in-law thought that such reforms will not only benefit the court, but also benefit the people." I said respectfully to Uncle Li.

"Oh? That's what you said?" Uncle Li became interested and asked me.

"The Tang Dynasty Wushu Research Institute has concentrated the top talents in the Tang Dynasty in equipment manufacturing.

I am planning to divide it in the Wushui Academy. One is dedicated to making equipment, and the other is dedicated to researching and developing, better and more ideal military and civilian equipment. For example, the double-horse plow used in the Hetao, Liaodong and other places in the Tang Dynasty is the work of the craftsmen of the Wushui Academy, and the same is true for copper-tied cannons… “I introduced to Uncle Li in detail the new products opened in this stage of the research of the Wushui Academy in the Tang Dynasty, which played a considerable role in promoting civil and military use in the Tang Dynasty Empire. In addition, the samples of the tripods in the land invented by Zhao Guo during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han have been reorganized by the craftsmen of the Wushui Academy. This is one of the major inventions in ancient my country in agricultural machinery.

The full functions of modern latest seeders are only to complete the four processes of digging, seeding, covering and compacting. The three-legged squids in my country more than 2,000 years ago have already connected the first three processes together by the same machine. The craftsmen are focusing on the idea and are preparing to develop a multi-legged squid that also uses double horses for farming based on the three-legged squids of the predecessors. In this way, this thing can be successfully tested, which is definitely a great innovation. At least, the land that originally required a lot of labor to cultivate can be completed by only a few people.

If all the top skilled craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty Works Department can be gathered together and professionally engaged in development, I believe that success will definitely be just around the corner.

"Is this really the case?" Uncle Li's brows raised, with a look of surprise: "Son-in-law, it seems that I gave you the Wushen Academy to manage. I did not misunderstand that the double horse-drawn plow can turn over the dry fields. If I really have multiple levers, it will no longer require a lot of labor to complete the following several processes. According to this method, the development speed of my Tang Dynasty's Liaodong, Hetao and other places will inevitably increase, and I will no longer worry about food shortages in the Tang Dynasty! Good! I have also heard that my son-in-law paid out for his own pocket to reward those skillful craftsmen, thinking that my Tang Dynasty would not lose money to you. What else do you have to ask for? Just say it."

"This... the son-in-law does have some ideas, and I hope my father-in-law will consider it. If the Wushu Institute can develop a good tool that benefits the country and the people in the future, please ask my father-in-law Xu Yuan and these craftsmen who have made meritorious in the country to have some empty titles and some money and silk, and there is no need to give land and fiefs or salary, but other treatments are the same as real titles. I wonder what my father-in-law thinks?" I asked carefully.

"Well..." Uncle Li touched his beard, nodded and pondered for a long time, and tilted his head to look at Li Zhi. "Zhinu, what do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Fang Zi answered Uncle Li’s question: “My son thinks that the advice given by the master is not unfeasible. Just giving the Xu Jue and some money as a reward is a good method. It can not only give the craftsmen a positive momentum, but also not add too much burden to the court. In addition, if the Xu Jue can be implemented, it can provide a new idea for the title system after the Tang Dynasty.”

"Haha, it's rare that you have such an opinion. Well, I will work hard to make this happen, just as a reward for my contribution to the Tang Dynasty as a virtuous son-in-law. What do you think?"

I stood up and bowed to Uncle Li: "My father-in-law is wise, my son-in-law is a master of all the craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, thank Your Majesty for his kindness." I felt relieved in my heart. I am worthy of being Uncle Li, wise and courageous. Anything that is beneficial to the country and the people, and my decision is indeed a bit beyond my expectations.

In the next few days, Uncle Li met with many important officials of the court to discuss the feasibility of this matter in private. Finally, in mid-July, the policy proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince was announced to the civil and military officials of the court. Sure enough, all the officials of the Ministry of Works brigade and praised the good. The heads of the other three provinces and six ministries had already communicated with Uncle Li, and were approved at the court meeting with almost no objection.

When Uncle Li sent an imperial prosecutor to announce this new policy at the Wuyan Institute, thousands of skilled craftsmen were all praising His Majesty, the wise emperor of Uncle Li, and many of the old craftsmen were crying. This was both my hard work and their achievements. Otherwise, today's scene would not have been possible.

On September 10, 21, Zhenguan, on the day after the Double Ninth Festival, the scissors of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, National Studies of the Tang Dynasty, General of the Tang Dynasty, and other top figures of the Tang Dynasty, Qujiang Academy of the Tang Dynasty finally officially started operation.

As soon as the academy was opened, all kinds of wise and kind people who had learned from newspapers and magazines half a month ago that the opening of the academy, whether they were children of aristocratic families or poor people, after Uncle Li and others disappeared, they all stepped into the academy and, under the guidance of the academy staff, began to visit this academy that occupied an area and scale that was almost as large as that of a well-known comprehensive science and technology university in later generations.

There are twelve library buildings in the academy alone, which are divided into literature, art, architecture, medicine, research, arithmetic geometry, etc. "These twelve academies, the fourth and third floors are places for collection, and the second and first floors are places for reading. There are nearly 800 reading and reading seats in each building, and there are at least dozens of book books with the same content in each building, in case someone borrows them, others can only stare at..." I stood on the balcony, pointing to a corner of the academy for Uncle Li and others.

However, there were too many people coming in today. Not only did they fill the first and second floors of the twelve buildings, some people even stood in the corridor outside the building with books, or sat on the rest bench in the courtyard of the Tibetan Academy, and read with relish.

"Father, looking at the situation today, I'm afraid there will be less than 10,000 people here?" Uncle Li couldn't help but exclaim. I was also very surprised. Although I was very confident, I didn't think there would be so many people coming. Well, it was a bit beyond my expectations.
Chapter completed!
