A night school biology class accidentally made Princess Jian'an want to build an engineering school in the capital, and Yuanchun immediately abducted her. Starship Academy is still in Chengtianfu; Dajiala has built a new comprehensive university, and Jia
Cong conveniently picked up materials from later generations and named it Ivy League University. The school is currently installing facilities, with tables, chairs, cabinets, bookshelves and the like being rolled out in droves. Teachers and school staff have been recruited and are ready to start school on the first day of September this year. Yuanchun's daughter has not yet
She is one year old, and Jia Baoyu has done a lot of things for her since she was pregnant. In the past few months, Shi Xiangyun came and helped her. Since the other sister-in-law is also interested in education, how can Yuanchun let her go? Therefore,
In the school, you can often see Minister Jia from the Ministry of Education leading a brother and two sisters-in-law, pointing from front to back, somewhat like the empress dowager in a play.
Princess Jian'an seemed to have entered a new world. After she and Jia Cong left Luzhou, they lived in Lingnan for more than two months before arriving in Taiwan. They spent some time traveling around the mountains and rivers, or walking in the streets.
I just wandered around and never really understood how the government and the school worked. I followed my sister-in-law for a few days and saw all kinds of novel things in the Ivy League University. I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Where did you think of this!"
Yuan Chun said: "A few of them learned from Taixue, most of them learned from the West, and some of them were taught by Cong'er's weird Mr. Green Lin. After they got together in one place, the Starship Academy was established in recent years. Take Cong'er
As my son said, it’s like crossing the river by feeling for the stones. I’ll improve it and copy it to the ivy.”
Several people walked into the school library and looked at the book list first. Shi Xiangyun was quick to speak, and after taking a few glances, he said: "Why are there so few collections of classics and history? There are so many commentaries?"
Yuan Chun said: "That's what Cong'er meant. Most of the commentaries are the new science fiction commentaries published by Zhonghua Book Company in recent years - he has now changed the name to vernacular novels. "Sou Shen Ji", "Shen Yi Jing", "Taiping Guang Ji"
"A lot of preparations have been made for these. Cong'er said that the Four Books and Five Classics of our dynasty are the most restrictive. Actions are rules, and words and deeds must not be exceeded step by step. What science needs most is imagination. Because only
Only by breaking the mistakes of our predecessors and exploring the unknowns of our predecessors can we lead the way in the West. Students are most encouraged to think and make wild guesses, and then conduct experiments based on their wild thoughts and guesses. If only one of the thousands of guesses is correct, it will be a big deal."
Princess Jian'an said: "In this case, life is very difficult."
Yuan Chun said: "Actually, whether students or teachers, most of them are the nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine out of tens of millions; there is really only one that can be used. Just like Mr. Edison said -
-Here-" She pointed to the banner hanging on the wall. Everyone took a closer look and saw that the banner said: Ninety-nine percent of geniuses are hard work and one percent are inspiration. Yuan Chun said,
"There is another sentence that I haven't added at the end: One percent is the most important. I have been working in the school for so many years, and I finally understand. It is true that you have to be a genius. Those who are not geniuses can only be helpers for geniuses, and no matter how hard they work, they can't make up for their shortcomings.
"The most capable professors in Starfleet Academy were all abducted by Cong'er from the West." In fact, it was Yang Heng who kidnapped them from the West. First they were coerced, then offered inducements, and in recent years, they were frightened by the fact that the West was at war.
A few days ago, Princess Jian'an heard Jia Cong repeatedly saying that our dynasty was too far behind the West in science. Now that she heard Yuan Chun's words, she felt more and more that she was far ahead of our dynasty. She was secretly anxious. She raised her eyes and looked around.
Seeing that this library was majestic, solemn and quiet, and the architectural style was copied by Jia Cong from later generations. Princess Jian'an had never seen it before, and she suddenly had the illusion that there were libraries like this all over the West. She couldn't help but murmur.
He murmured: "The capital city must build this too."
Yuanchun shook his head and said: "Cong'er also thought about building a library in the capital when he was a child. Then I thought, what's the use of building it? Ordinary people can't read, and those who can read are Confucian scholars who don't want to read these books."
Baoyu interjected from the side: "Since he said he wants to select talents, don't there any officials in the family who like these people? Every one of them counts."
Yuanchun smiled bitterly and said: "It seems like a lucky break, but that's pitiful."
Princess Jian'an said: "There is a lot of sand and little gold in the big waves. If you want to get more gold, you can only wash for more sand." She thought for a moment and said, "As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. In this case, it is better to set up more rewards.
Reward those who are capable."
"Yes!" Xiangyun said, "Starship Academy's Golden Pomegranate Award is specially given to breakthrough scholars in basic science. Last time, Cong'er said that she wanted to set up an invention award. Sister, when are you going to do it?"
Yuanchun sighed: "I have thought about the invention award for a long time. Later we checked the list and found that the important inventions were all made by research institutes, and they were all errands. Private inventions were not ranked at all."
Princess Jian'an asked: "In the past few days since I came to Taiwan, I often heard people talking about inventions. What exactly are inventions?"
Xiangyun smiled and said: "It's just a new and interesting thing made."
"Nonsense." Yuan Chun glared at her, "It has to be something useful." Nai smiled and asked his younger sister-in-law, "Have you ever seen a hand-operated washing machine?" Princess Jian'an shook her head.
Xiangyun clapped his hands and said: "Tomorrow let's go to the logistics department of Dajiala Inn to have a look. There are so many! Whoever came up with this person doesn't know what his heart is made of. It's really amazing! Cong'er also said there is none at all.
Mechanization is not good. It doesn’t count how much manpower is saved.”
Yuan Chun said: "That is also a project produced by the research institute. Cong'er learned the idea from Westerners."
Princess Jian'an became more and more anxious - she didn't know how many extraordinary artifacts the Westerners had made, and our dynasty was really lagging far behind. She said: "There are so many masters among the people, but there are always a few unusual ones. We still have to
There should be a big reward." After another thought, "When I return to Beijing, I will offer a reward to recruit such an expert."
Yuanchun nodded with a smile: "That's great."
Jia Baoyu said: "Starship Academy established the Golden Pomegranate Award. Gai Cong'er said that the pomegranate flower is related to the eldest sister. Why not also have a flower name for the invention award of the younger siblings?"
Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Why does it have to have a fancy name? I think a good science award can only live up to the word 'invention' if it is named after the sun, moon and stars, or it can be named after mythical beasts such as Qilin, Xuanwu, etc."
"Awesome." Yibi said and secretly poked Jia Baoyu's two fingers from behind. Baoyu was confused, but knew that there must be something wrong with him, so he immediately shut up.
Yuan Chun shook his head and said: "What are you two fighting for? Use whatever the master wants. It would be great for the princess to use the Chen Lin Award and the Wang Can Award."
Princess Jian'an smiled: "I haven't thought about it yet. I'll think about it later."
Jia Baoyu suddenly realized that he had just been abrupt. People paid for the prizes and called them whatever they liked. What kind of ideas did outsiders come up with? Taking advantage of Yuanchun, he led Princess Jian'an upstairs and silently bowed to Shi Xiangyun. Shi Xiangyun
Jia Baoyu laughed softly and said, "Although Brother Bao Er is confused sometimes, fortunately he corrects his mistakes when he realizes them." After saying this, he hid his mouth and left. Jia Baoyu followed closely.
Going back that night, Princess Jian'an and Jia Huan discussed returning to Beijing to set up invention awards in addition to building a science and engineering school. She also asked Jia Huan if she had any ideas. Jia Huan naturally agreed and said, "Didn't the princess also name a women's school?"
What? Should we set up another women’s award?”
Princess Jian'an thought for a moment and asked: "Is the Golden Pomegranate Award of Starship Academy also divided into men and women?"
"No. Big sister said that the contributions made by human beings do not distinguish between men and women." Jia Huan said, "Although four awards are awarded every year, there are many more men than women."
"Then my prize does not distinguish between men and women." Princess Jian'an said, "The objects invented generally do not distinguish between men and women."
"The princess has the final say!"
Princess Jian'an glanced at him a few times, then tilted her head to look at him and said, "I don't know what's wrong with this sentence."
Jia Huan was surprised and said, "This sentence doesn't sit well with you? Girls are really difficult to take care of."
Princess Jian'an smiled: "This is much more pleasant to the ears."
In two days, Chen Ruijin was about to leave for Jinggangshan. Before he left, Jia Cong felt uncomfortable all over as if he was missing something. His eyebrows were drooping every day. Shi Xiangyun saw this and joked: "What's wrong with Cong'er? Let Dragon King San
Did the prince have a cramp?"
Jia Cong sighed: "I am lovesick before I even get to the day of lovesickness."
Princess Jian'an knew that Chen Ruijin had to leave the island for a while, so she joked: "Who would have thought that Mr. Jia Cong is such an infatuated person."
Jia Cong held his chin in his hands and said pitifully: "You guys who are watching the fire from across the bank, don't any of you give me a few words of relief?"
Xiangyun said: "Does comfort work?"
"It doesn't work, but it's a comfort at least."
Both Xiangyun and Princess Jian'an laughed: "Then why should I comfort you? It's better to just watch the excitement."
Jia Cong had no choice but to look up for his two brothers. Baoyu was kind-hearted and pulled Xiangyun and said: "As the saying goes, one day is like three autumns apart. Cong'er misses Sister Chen so much, don't laugh at him."
After hearing this, Jia Huan hurriedly said: "Brother Baoer, an honest man, is the most boring person. Sister Yun, don't pay attention to him. If you have anything to joke about, just pour it out and make sure he doesn't have the energy to talk back."
Chen Ruijin, who was standing by, was dumbfounded: "It won't be long before you have to come back?"
Jia Cong let out a long sigh, which made Jia Huan's body get goosebumps. But he heard him say: "When you are by my side, you are everything; when you are not by my side, everything is you." Jia Huan covered her cheeks and shouted, "
"My teeth are sore." He glanced around: Why is his wife's eyes filled with envy?
Everyone dispersed for a moment. Princess Jian'an and Chen Ruijin had known each other since they were in the capital, and they walked together. Princess Jian'an sighed: "Brother Cong really misses you."
Only Chen Ruijin among these people in this world knew that Jia Cong came from three hundred years ago. He also knew that the world of their time was open and young people were accustomed to speaking their minds directly. Jia Huan and other scholars who were born and raised in this time and space would have a hard time talking to him even if they knew him since they were young.
General appearance. Nai said: "He has always been such a hot-tempered and thick-skinned person. He always says whatever he feels in his heart, and he doesn't even know how to be tactful."
Princess Jian'an said softly: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Chen Ruijin turned his head and looked at her: "Is there anything wrong with you two getting along?"
Princess Jian'an shook her head: "There is nothing wrong with it. In theory, I am considered an excellent prince-in-law. I am famous and talented, and I have helped my brother so much. He always relies on me in all matters big and small, and he is willing to do so."
Accompany me to go back to my parents’ home for the New Year. I just took the title of a princess in vain, and my brother only has so much ideas and big territory... Last year in Luzhou and Beijing, I felt that the two of us were very affectionate. I see you two today.
"Although I haven't seen you say a few words, watching from the sidelines will make you feel more intimate than others." She suddenly remembered what she said last night and said it unconsciously. "The prince-in-law said, 'The princess has the final say'."
The words should be very pleasant to my ears, but they don’t sit well with me.”
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "Jia Cong often says this. 'You have the final say!' Wouldn't it be awkward if it were 'Miss Chen has the final say' instead?"
Princess Jian'an thought for a while: "That seems to be the case."
Chen Ruijin said: "If it weren't for the great changes in the world, even if Jia Huan really recruited a prince-in-law based on his talent and learning, you would be superior to him and he would be inferior to him. A gentleman of Jia Cong once said that the status of husband and wife must be equal. No one is born superior to the other.
; Normally, women have the final say in life, because most men don’t understand the affairs of the inner house; in this way, they will be able to love each other.”
Princess Jian'an smiled and said: "His husband is so eccentric and knows everything."
Chen Ruijin also smiled and said: "He has met many weird gentlemen since he was a child. This is nothing. Anyway, it makes sense to me. The two titles of 'Princess' and 'Consort' obviously were given by you over him.
Just like 'Third Master' and 'Third Grandma'. If he is willing to follow you in daily matters... tomorrow you can try to call him by his first name."
Princess Jian'an hesitated for a moment: "Is it appropriate?"
Chen Ruijin said: "My name is Jia Cong, which is very easy to pronounce."
Princess Jian'an recited "Jia Huan" several times in a low voice. She felt it was funny, shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to shout it out in person."
Chen Ruijin thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "That's right. When Miss Lin called General Jia, she also called him by his first name 'Jarvis'. The fourth girl always called Wu You by his first name. The eldest sister just got married and called Mr. Gong.
I don’t know when they started calling him “Gong Kun”. On the contrary, Jia Cong and the others had been calling him “Mr. Gong” for many years. I don’t know when they started calling him “Da”.
"Brother-in-law". Calling a man by a famous name seems to have a sense of self-righteousness. I don't know where this meaning comes from."
Princess Jian'an said: "It seems that Second Grandma Bao has never called Second Master Bao by his name."
"The two of them are cousins. Xiangyun is used to calling him his elder brother since he was little."
"I see." Princess Jian'an nodded and thought, "How about I try later?"
Chen Ruijin said: "Most of the women in Dajiala call men by their first names. It doesn't matter if you call them names here. Only when the princess returns to Beijing can she continue to call them names is she used to it."
Princess Jian'an hummed: "Who can stop me from shouting?" Chen Ruijin raised his eyebrows and smiled.
That night, when Jia Huan returned to the courtyard and was just about to say hello to his wife, his wife shouted: "Jia Huan!"
Jia Huan opened his mouth and responded: "Hey~~"
Princess Jian'an said as if nothing was wrong: "I have thought of a name for the invention award. Since it is used to improve tools for craftsmen, how about naming it 'Gongshuzi'?"
Jia Huan thought for a while: "Is there just one award? The Gongshu Invention Award? What kind of mathematics award, physics award, chemistry award, and biology award are allocated to Starship Academy?"
Princess Jian'an glanced at him: "It's different from theirs. I discussed with my eldest sister and we can divide it into gold, silver and bronze awards."
"Okay." Jia Huan touched the back of his head, "You have the final say." Princess Jian'an turned to look out the window and smiled.
