After coming out of the Martial Arts Hall of the Capital, Liu Ziguang went to inspect the University of Science and Technology of the Capital. Naturally, the access control here would not imitate the Martial Arts Hall's trick of playing Xiliuying, and quickly opened the door to let him in. Liu Ziguang just looked around and looked at it.
circle and did not disturb the students in class.
The teaching environment and living equipment of the Polytechnic Hall are several grades higher than those of the Martial Arts Hall. This is because soldiers must train their hard-working spirit in order to cope with various extreme situations that may arise in the future. However, these Polytechnic students are
It’s different. That is the sustenance of the country’s prosperity. Their dormitories are for four people. They use electric lamps instead of candles for lighting. They have meat for every meal. They must provide two eggs in the morning. Their school uniforms are made of uniform blue cloth.
A long gown and a square scarf, and a jade pendant with the school emblem engraved on his waist. In addition to free food and accommodation, there is also a certain monthly allowance. These days, the poor are poor in literature and rich in martial arts, and only those who can't afford to eat are apprentices.
Many of the students are apprentices from factories and workshops across the country, and of course they are the best among them. These people are talented but come from poor families. Liu Ziguang provides such a stage for them to display their talents. Of course they are grateful. It is said that
Several laboratories in the university hall always keep the lights on all night, and in the library, when you get there late, you can't get a seat, so many people climb in and use books to occupy seats the night before.
There are theoreticians, skilled technicians, technical officials from the Ministry of Industry, professors hired with high salaries from the Song Dynasty, and even monks and farmers in the school. The main focus is on mechanics, chemistry, physics and astronomy, followed by agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry. The university
The hall gathered a group of people with the brightest minds and most skilled skills in Ming Dynasty. Together with these tireless students, they worked day and night to develop various advanced technologies.
"Take good care of the students' lives and don't burden them. Those who have family members can be picked up. Just open a family area. Don't be afraid of spending money. If you need money, just ask." Liu Ziguang said to him while patrolling the campus.
The steward of the school said that the steward, who was an academic, couldn't help but nod his head and said he wanted to thank Mr. Marquis for his great kindness on behalf of the students.
Scientific research is an extremely expensive business. Thousands of people were used to build the ship pool alone, and the testing of weapons cost even more money. Each expensive missile costs hundreds of taels of silver, and can be destroyed by thousands of taels in a day. For
Liu Ziguang didn't feel distressed at all and didn't even frown when approving the money.
In addition to the Jingshi Martial Arts Hall and the Jingshi Polytechnic University Hall, Liu Ziguang also funded the construction of an orphanage and a primary school, which are both institutions that benefit society and a place to cultivate the strength of his next generation. Liu Ziguang knows that relying on the efforts of his own generation
It will not allow the Chinese nation to stand tall in this world, but after two generations and three generations of hard work, this long-term goal is no longer a dream.
On the way back, Liu Ziguang was brewing a plan, which was to build a traditional academy and train his own civil service team. It would be impossible to be evenly matched with Donglin Academy in the short term, but at least it could fill the current gap.
There is really a shortage of civil servants. However, academies are different from military academies and polytechnic schools. They need to be supported by great scholars of the time. Where can I find such great scholars? By the way, don’t I have a know-it-all at home? I’ll go back to the Marquis’s Mansion and ask
Peng Jingrong.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he met Sun Gang, who was running towards him on horseback. He looked slightly panicked. When he saw Liu Ziguang, he got off his horse and ran up to him and said in a low voice: "Sir, something happened."
"What happened? You're so scared. Go in and talk." Liu Ziguang said.
"I can't go in because of my humble position. The matter is a bit urgent. The civilians who built the imperial mausoleum in Purple Mountain dug out a stone tablet with the words "Dragon and Tiger Sword, Conquer the World" engraved on it. Moreover, a nursery rhyme began to circulate on the street, saying "Maojin"
Sword, dragon and tiger sword, if the two meet, the world will be in trouble. "This is all bad for you, my lord."
The muscles on Liu Ziguang's face twitched, someone was trying to deal with him again. Although this method is ancient and ignorant, it often has excellent results. The rulers of the feudal dynasty have always attached great importance to such rumors, and basically prefer to believe them.
Don’t treat it with an attitude of non-belief. The Mao Jin Dao undoubtedly refers to your surname, the traditional Chinese character Liu, but what is the Dragon Tiger Sword?
"Did your lord collect Nurhaci's sword instead of presenting it to the emperor?" Sun Gang asked eagerly.
"Yes, I have stayed." Liu Ziguang nodded slightly, already guessing that the problem was with the sword.
"This is terrible. This sword was given to Nurhaci by the late Emperor when he made him the General of Dragon and Tiger, so it is also called the Dragon and Tiger Sword. Nurhaci took this sword across the border and pacified the Jurchen tribes, and then openly called it
King, betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and later took advantage of our civil strife to enter the capital and seize half of the Ming Dynasty. Now there are rumors in the public that this sword is the cause of disaster. The late emperor attached all the dragon energy to the sword. Whoever gets this
A sword can conquer the world, but Nurhachi's horoscope is not enough to control this sword, so he can only conquer half of the world. His sons are not qualified to use this sword. If they insist on using it, they will die early, so Huang Taiji and Duo
Ergon died in his prime." Sun Gang said so much in one breath, sweat was pouring on his face, and he didn't know whether it was from nervousness or heat.
"Only someone named Liu is qualified to hold a sword, and once he gets this sword, he will usurp the throne and seize power to conquer the world, right?" Liu Ziguang asked sarcastically.
"Yes, my lord, this is how they calculated it. I have already sent people to investigate, but things have already come out. I'm afraid those censors have already started to write down the secrets. My lord, you'd better present the sword to the palace as soon as possible to avoid suspicion."
"It's a joke, how can a sword be so magical? No one would believe such a clumsy trick." Liu Ziguang said as he dismounted, threw the reins to the soldiers, and walked through the gate of Ruhou Lord's Mansion, followed by Sun Gang.
Said: "Sir, please don't take this matter lightly. It's important to avoid suspicion."
Liu Ziguang said it lightly, but in fact he still took this matter very seriously in his heart. He didn't even go to see Peng Jinrong, but went directly to the warehouse to take out the sword and inspect it. He saw that the sword had a copper petal head, engraved with heavenly officials and sacred deer.
, crane, copper sword with two dragons facing each other at both ends. The scabbard is covered with mackerel skin. The outer cover has several copper hoops and is inlaid with dragon and tiger patterns. The sword body is straight and the tip is blunt and round. It is a typical Ming sword shape.
Except for the Manchu characters used by Nurhachi himself, there are no other Chinese characters. It must be that the inscriptions on the sword were worn away by Nurhachi when the former emperor gave him the sword.
"Yes, that's the sword. Sir, hurry up and enter the palace." Sun Gang said eagerly.
Just as Liu Ziguang was about to speak, he suddenly saw the door curtain raised and Peng Jingrong walked in. She said with a smile: "I play with swords as soon as I get home. Why don't you go and be a boy on the Lianfeng?"
"You're still playing. If you continue to play, you're going to get me involved." Liu Ziguang said angrily, and told Peng Jinrong exactly what happened.
For a counselor.
After Peng Jingrong heard this, she thought for a moment and said, "Do you like this sword, sir?"
Liu Ziguang said: "This sword has some commemorative value to me, but now it is said to be a divine object that can conquer the world. I can't keep it no matter how much I like it."
"What kind of divine object? Isn't it the sword blade produced in Longquan, Zhejiang, and the sword equipment issued by the Ouchi Craftsman Bureau? Such dragon and tiger swords were very common in the past, and the generals at the level of the general were rewarded, so they were embarrassed
Spreading rumors, what does your Nanchang do for food? You can also let this de
Rumors are spreading?" Peng Jinrong asked contemptuously, making Sun Gang very embarrassed.
"Madam, this matter has been taken over by Dongchang. They are originally responsible for the protection of the imperial mausoleum. As for the rumors in the public, my subordinates have sent people to investigate."
"Investigate carefully. The one who can do this is either the Dongchang or the Military Aircraft Department. Sun Gang, please continue to investigate. Don't give face to anyone. Take over all the people involved in this case. My husband, please enter the palace with your sword. I
I will teach you a set of words and keep it safe to avoid danger." Peng Jingrong said confidently.
In the Forbidden City, Zhu Youxiao, accompanied by Wei Zhongxian, examined a stone tablet. This stone tablet was unearthed from the construction site of the imperial mausoleum. Usually emperors would build mausoleums when they were young, and Zhu Youxiao was no exception. His mausoleum is in Xiaoxiao
Near the mausoleum, it is a location with excellent Feng Shui. The underground palace needs to be excavated very deep. During the construction process, a stone tablet was discovered. It is said that when it was unearthed, spring water emerged and colorful glow appeared on the horizon, which was a very strange phenomenon.
There is still a lot of mud on the stone tablet, and there is not much decoration on it. There are only six antique seal characters "Dragon Tiger Sword".
"Seize the World", Zhu Youxiao touched his chin and looked at it over and over again suspiciously without saying a word. Wei Zhongxian carefully observed the emperor's face and held Fuchen in his arms without saying a word.
After a long time, Zhu Youxiao spoke: "What is the Dragon Tiger Sword?"
"Long live the Lord, I... I don't know." Wei Zhongxian said calmly, his eyes looking left and right, obviously he was hiding some secret in his heart and dared not say it.
"Say!" Zhu Youxiao raised his voice slightly. The seventeen-year-old boy's face was as calm as water, but a kind of imperial majesty was invisible, which made people shudder.
Wei Zhongxian fell to his knees with a plop: "The Dragon-Tiger Sword is a special sword given by the late emperor to the generals. It has dragon and tiger patterns on it. After many years of war, not many of them survive."
"Not many? Then there are still some. Who owns the Dragon and Tiger Sword?"
"I really can't say that..." Wei Zhongxian looked painful, as if he was enduring a huge test of conscience.
"Wei Zhongxian, who are you hiding for? This stone tablet says that the Dragon and Tiger Sword will conquer the world, why don't I just sit and wait for death?" Zhu Youxiao finally got mad and removed a pile of pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the Long Book Desk.
They were all swept to the ground, making a crackling noise. The little eunuch outside looked over and saw that the emperor was angry, so he quickly retracted his head in fright.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. It's important to take care of the dragon's body. The servants said, all the servants said, the only surviving Dragon and Tiger Sword is the sword given to the Manchu Chief Nurhaci by the late Emperor, but now this sword is in the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion.
I'm here, I'm afraid of the Emperor's thunderous wrath... After all, Marquis Zhenwu is the most powerful general of our Ming Dynasty, the pillar of the country, Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian kowtowed like garlic, his voice choked with sobs.
"The most powerful general, the pillar of the country..." Zhu Youxiao's face was uncertain, he stopped his angry behavior and fell into thinking.
