After returning to Yizhou, Li Min decided to open schools, research institutes and other departments in Yizhou.
There is also Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, who has made an appointment with him. As soon as he arrives in Yizhou, Sun Simiao will come to join him and open a medical school.
Nearly half a year has passed, and Sun Simiao doesn't know where the doctor has gone, but he hasn't come yet.
However, Li Min believed that Sun Simiao was not a renegade person.
After hearing the news, I will definitely come.
In fact, we are already on the way here now.
After Sun Simiao arrives, Li Min will open a medical school and prepare to open a hospital.
Of course, Li Min's purpose of opening these in Yizhou is not just to limit them to one corner of Yizhou.
Rather, he had the right to hold this period and treat Yizhou as a testing field and a special zone.
Only by opening so many advanced institutions in Yizhou and letting others see the outstanding results will it be possible to promote them throughout Datang.
And what he has to do now is the first step.
Li Min wanted to open a university in Yizhou, called Yizhou University.
And the location of this university is within the new city.
In nearly three months, the underground drainage system of the new city and the roads in the new city have been basically built.
The first building complex in the new city, Yizhou University, is now basically completed.
At present, Yizhou University is still very empty and not large in scale. Currently, there are only three teaching buildings that can accommodate thousands of people.
Of course, the vacant space left by Yizhou University is still very large.
By then, it won't be a problem to accommodate another 40,000 to 50,000 people, or even more people.
At present, Li Min estimates that the entire three teaching buildings of Yizhou University cannot be used up.
After all, education at Yizhou University has just started, and currently it only offers primary school classes.
Currently, those who can come here to study can only be children from nearby common people's families.
The initial number of people will definitely not be too many.
However, this situation will definitely improve gradually as time goes by.
At present, Li Min has decided to introduce three subjects: Chinese, mathematics, and physical chemistry in primary schools.
Chinese teachers are easy to find. As long as you have a certain knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics, you can be a Chinese teacher.
The math teacher is naturally Wang Xiaotong.
For the time being, Li Chunfeng will be the physics and chemistry teacher.
After you have a school and teachers, the next thing is to start recruiting students.
Li Min ordered people to issue announcements throughout Yizhou.
All school-ready children aged seven to ten years old can be sent to Yizhou University to study.
Students who are far away from the school can stay in the school.
All children in Yizhou who are eligible for school will not be charged tuition fees.
In ancient times, what was lacking most if we wanted to develop?
Of course it's talent.
Talents are rare, so Li Min must increase his efforts in education.
Therefore, this time, Li Min founded the school and decided to implement the method of free tuition.
But even so, Li Min never thought that too many children would be sent to school.
Because, in this era, although the imperial examination has been implemented.
But it is really difficult for an ordinary family to provide for a scholar.
Even if I study hard for decades, I may not be able to pass the exam.
Today's imperial examinations are not as strict as those of later generations, and the sense of family status is still very strong.
Students from poor families, even if they have great talents, may not be able to pass the exam.
Therefore, it has also resulted in that in ordinary people’s homes, many people do not think twice about sending their children to study.
After all, if the children go to school, there will be one less labor force in the family.
For ancient times when there was a serious shortage of labor, this was undoubtedly a matter that made families even worse.
However, what shocked King Li Min of Shu was that in the next ten days, there was an endless stream of people sending their children to study every day.
In just a few days, thousands of children were sent.
Now one teaching building is no longer enough.
Moreover, children are constantly being sent here.
This situation greatly surprised Li Min.
When did the consciousness of the people of Yizhou become so high?
Well, okay, actually the initiator of this situation was Li Min himself.
Because when it comes to employment, those who can read and write can double their wages.
This made the people of Yizhou see the importance of knowledge.
Knowledge is money!
So, when they heard that the governor had established a Yizhou University.
At Yizhou University, not only are there no tuition fees, but students who live far away can board at the school and eat for free.
As a result, countless people were moved and sent their children over one after another.
Where can I find such a good thing?
Many people don't even expect their children to go to high school in the future. They only hope that their children will be able to get double the wages when they work in the future. That is enough.
And on this day, Li Min suddenly saw that a child, only about five or six years old, was actually taken to school by his parents.
And their regulations clearly require children between the ages of seven and ten to be eligible for school.
This child is really too young, right?
Thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but stepped forward, squatted down, and asked the child: "Kid, how old are you this year?"
The kid was obviously not used to the name Li Min was calling him, but he understood what he said next.
So, the little guy said to Li Min: "Go back to the governor, I am seven years old this year!"
The little guy's soothing voice made Li Min burst out laughing. He couldn't help but ask again: "You are seven years old, why are you so short? You see, everyone is so tall, how did you grow so tall?"
The little guy thought for a long time, then tilted his head and said: "Back to the Governor, I am short because of my poetry. It's all because I read too much."
Huo, this little guy is too cute, right?
Li Min couldn't help but thought of teasing him again, and couldn't help but ask again: "Then the governor asked you, what books have you read?"
Hearing Li Min's question, the little guy couldn't help but puff up his chest and said proudly: "Everyone can memorize the Three-Character Classic, Hundreds of Family Surnames, and Thousand-Character Classic!"
Um?
A little kid of about five years old actually dares to say that he has memorized the Three-Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames and Thousand-Character Classic?
Isn’t this too outrageous?
Li Min couldn't help laughing and asked: "Okay, then just recite the Three Character Sutra. I'll see if you really recited it."
"Well, in the beginning, human nature is good. Our natures are similar, but our habits are far apart..."
This little kid recited it very skillfully.
As time went by, the look of surprise on Li Min's face became more and more serious.
Because this child really memorized all the Three Character Sutra.
Li Min couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Little guy, what's your name?"
