Di Renjie then began to establish a steam plow project, and their research team also began to conduct research.
The original scientific research team of six people has now grown to five people.
Di Renjie also asked Li Min, and Li Min's answer was that Liu Siyuan was ill and needed to go home to recuperate and would not be able to come back in a short time.
Di Renjie and others couldn't help but feel regretful that now only the five of them could start the research.
When Li Min led them to do research in the past, they thought research was a very easy thing.
Because when establishing the project, Li Min had already clearly drawn the principles and images of the researched things.
All they need to do is theoretical verification, data verification, etc.
Once the verification is successful, it can be put into production immediately.
Well, now, when they were conducting research on the topic themselves, they discovered that the research on a project was not that simple at all.
First of all, although their key research project is the steam plow, they have not yet produced a picture of the steam plow.
Just have a general impression.
But as for what kind of steam plow is made, what kind of steam plow is most suitable for mechanical principles, saves the most labor, and is the best to use.
Now they don't have a clear concept of sense.
And all of this requires them to constantly verify it with mathematics.
As for how to convert steam engines into power and how to make steam plows walk on their own.
Not to mention all these difficulties.
However, this topic was raised by them themselves, so they are not afraid of difficulties, but are very motivated.
Seeing this, Li Min nodded and went to do his own business.
Datang's technological journey has just begun.
However, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and the seeds of technology have sprouted.
It's just around the corner to grow into a towering tree.
…
On this day, Li Min was suddenly summoned and ordered him, Sun Simiao, the director of Yizhou First People's Hospital, and several miracle doctors from the First People's Hospital to go to the palace.
After getting the news, Li Min couldn't help but feel nervous.
Let them go, no need to ask, someone in the palace must be sick.
Who is sick?
Although his dream weaver is well-informed, they still cannot get involved in the news in the palace for the time being.
I hope she's not a mother-in-law.
At noon on the second day, they took a train and arrived at the Chang'an Palace.
At this time, they learned that it was Empress Changsun who was ill.
By the way, Queen Changsun has never been in good health. This is an old problem.
Li Min couldn't help but open the system and spend a fortune to check it.
In the original historical trajectory, Empress Changsun passed away next year.
No wonder I'm so sick now.
After meeting Li Shimin, Li Min discovered that Li Shimin's eyes were swollen and his face looked tired.
This shows that Li Shimin has not had a good rest these days, and he is very concerned about the condition of Queen Changsun.
Seeing Li Min, Li Shimin couldn't help but said with joy on his face: "Min'er, are you here? Your mother is very ill and has been unable to eat in the past few days. You go and help her diagnose, be sure to
Save him."
Li Min saluted and said: "Father, don't worry, my child will do his best."
After that, the strong man led a group of people and went straight to the inner palace.
Not long after, they appeared in the queen's palace.
Soon, they were invited in.
After entering, Li Min found that Prince Li Chengqian was waiting in front of the sickbed.
Li Chengqian's eyes were red and swollen, and his face was pale. When he stood up, his body staggered and he almost fell.
It seems that the prince is really overly sad during this period.
The prince may have some shortcomings, but he is indeed a filial son.
"Brother Li Min, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing Li Min, the prince's eyes showed hope.
He couldn't help but come over and hold Li Min's hand tightly, pleading: "Sixth brother, please, I will definitely heal my mother, please!"
Li Min sighed, and then said to Prince Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will do my best."
Next, Li Min asked Sun Simiao to diagnose Empress Changsun.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Min couldn't help but look at Empress Changsun on the sick bed.
I only saw the eldest grandson Queen of my country, who was beautiful, fragrant, graceful and noble, and whose mother respected the world.
At this time, he was extremely thin and there was no trace of flesh on his body. It was almost a skeleton wrapped in skin.
His eye sockets have sunk deeply, and breathing has become difficult. At this time, he seems to be in unbearable pain, and he is screaming in pain.
Seeing this scene, Li Min couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
Speaking of which, it is not without reason that Empress Changsun can be called the first virtuous empress in ancient times.
Empress Changsun is a kind-hearted person, and she always handles things fairly and justly in the harem, which is indeed extremely rare.
Of course, Li Min himself didn't like her.
This has nothing to do with whether she is virtuous or not, but is caused by the positions of the two of them.
Empress Changsun is the prince's biological mother, so she must firmly support the prince.
And Li Min knew very well that as long as the prince or Li Tai ascended the throne, there would be almost no chance for him and his brother Li Ke to survive.
And Li Min wanted to support his brother Li Ke to rise to power, which Empress Changsun would never allow to see.
The conflict between the two is actually due to their identities.
In fact, Empress Changsun had never felt sorry for him. On the contrary, it was Li Min who once humiliated Empress Changsun on her birthday.
Therefore, when Li Min saw the sick appearance of Queen Changsun at this time, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.
Sun Simiao diagnosed Empress Changsun for a long time, then he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Your Highness, with my old medical skills, there is nothing you can do."
Hearing Sun Simiao's words, Li Shimin and Prince Li Chengqian felt sad in their hearts.
Even Sun Simiao has no choice?
Then I'm afraid no one in this world can save the queen, right?
However, at this time, they still had a glimmer of luck in their hearts, and that was Li Min, the King of Shu.
Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Li Min, and then said: "Min'er, go and diagnose the queen."
Li Min nodded, then sat in front of the hospital bed and pretended to diagnose the queen.
In fact, Li Min used the system to diagnose the queen.
Soon, the system made a diagnosis.
It turns out that the queen has always had lung problems, which is a gas disease.
But now it is getting more serious and has transformed into lung cancer, and has reached the mid-to-late stage.
If treated, there is no chance at all.
It requires chemotherapy and a series of follow-up treatments, which can probably extend the queen's life by three to five years, but it will cost a total of one million worth of wealth.
As for Li Min, his total wealth value is just over one million.
If you want to extend the life of Queen Changsun by three to five years, you have to spend all his money, which is worth a train!
After thinking about it, Li Min couldn't help but said: "System, I'd better exchange some painkillers!"
The system couldn't help but rolled its eyes at Li Min.
So what if we can extend our life by three to five years?
How painful is chemotherapy?
Why should I suffer the pain of these three to five years when I feel so miserable that I don't want to live anymore?
Li Min would not admit that he was reluctant to spend so much money.
At this time, Queen Changsun's whole body suddenly twitched, and her palms grasped the sheets tightly, almost breaking them into pieces.
It's obvious that she is in great pain right now.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin and Prince Li Chengqian were immediately heartbroken.
Li Shimin hurriedly shouted: "Imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor quickly!"
Soon, the imperial doctor who was waiting outside hurriedly ran in.
They had already prepared painkillers, and at this time, they were ready to give them to Queen Changsun.
But at this time, Queen Changsun could no longer drink the medicine.
Some of what I poured in was spit out.
Faced with this situation, these imperial doctors were helpless.
At this time, Li Min couldn't help but said: "Let me give it a try!"
Hearing Li Min's words, the imperial doctors couldn't help but be overjoyed and almost couldn't help but kneel down and kiss his boots.
The period since the Queen became seriously ill has been really hard for them.
I'm afraid that even the slightest mistake could cost them their lives.
Now the King of Shu has taken the initiative to shoulder the blame for them. What if he doesn't make them cry with gratitude?
Li Min, on the other hand, took out a special analgesic needle and ordered the maids to hold the queen down.
Then, Li Min quickly pricked the needle into Empress Changsun's arm.
It only took a quarter of an hour for the queen's body to stop trembling.
The tightly frowned brows relaxed at this time.
Soon he fell asleep sweetly.
This scene made Li Shimin and Li Chengqian both happy and excited.
Because since Queen Changsun fell ill, she has been fighting the disease almost all the time.
How many times have I been woken up by pain in my sleep?
There are few moments when I can sleep so soundly.
But now after the King of Shu used the needle, the Queen immediately felt no pain. This is really great.
Could it be that the King of Shu really had a way to save the Queen?
Li Shimin waved his hand and walked out first, gesturing for everyone to come out and talk.
After a while, everyone came to the next room.
Li Shimin asked expectantly: "Yin'er, as soon as you give the injection, the queen's pain disappears. Is there any way you can save the queen?"
Next to him, Prince Li Chengqian also looked at Li Min nervously.
Li Min sighed and said: "Father, the Queen is extremely ill and cannot be saved by gods. The painkillers I just took were just painkillers that could temporarily stop the Queen's pain. In fact, they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. Queen
Regarding my condition, Erchen has really tried his best."
After hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian could not hide their disappointment.
The prince Li Chengqian even resented Li Min and felt that Li Min was not prepared to save the queen at all.
As for Li Min, he had long seen the resentment on Prince Li Chengqian's face.
The trace of guilt in my heart also disappeared.
You see, this guy is a white-eyed wolf, it would be wrong if he didn't save him.
Li Shimin sighed and said to Li Min: "Min'er, please keep some more painkillers so that the Queen will suffer less."
Li Min nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Li Min remembered something and couldn't help but said to Li Shimin: "Father, I want to pray for the queen. In this way, after I returned to Yizhou, I decided to open a girls' school so that all the young ladies in Jiannan Road can
You can go to school to study. In this way, these young ladies will definitely be grateful to the Queen."
Hearing Li Min's words, Li Shimin said approvingly: "Min'er, you are serious."
Um?
Father actually agreed?
Li Min immediately said with great joy: "That's great, then I will thank my father for those little ladies in Jiannan Road. I believe that with the blessings of so many people, the queen will gradually get better."
.”
Li Shimin nodded, and then ordered Li Min and the others to go down and rest.
Li Min came to Hanxiang Hall again and met his mother-in-law Yang Fei.
After staying in Chang'an City for a few days, Li Min returned to Chang'an City again.
Then, Li Min ordered someone to call Qiao Qiqi over.
"Qiqi, I am planning to establish a women's college in Yizhou New City and make you the dean of the women's college. What do you think?"
Hearing Li Min's words, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but asked with surprise and joy: "Your Highness, is it really possible?"
After saying this, she suddenly remembered what His Highness said last time. Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, if a women's college is opened, won't those officials want to impeach you? Otherwise, it's better not to open it!"
Li Min couldn't help laughing and said: "Qiqi, don't worry. This time, the queen is seriously ill. I have informed my father that I will open a women's college to pray for the queen. My father has already agreed, so,
Now there is no fear of impeachment at all. And I am planning to make you the principal of a women’s college, what do you think?”
Hearing Li Min's words, Qiao Qiqi couldn't help but feel happy and nervous at the same time.
After a long while, he said: "Your Highness, I'm afraid Qiqi can't do it well. How about you let someone else do it? Qiqi can just be a teacher. Is it okay with Your Highness?"
Li Min laughed and said: "Don't be afraid of not doing well. No one is born with the ability to do something. Just do it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. Okay, that's all.
It’s settled. The school has been built a long time ago, and now I’m recruiting students.”
When the university was first built, a place was reserved for the women's college. Of course, the two colleges were not in the same place.
Now the number of students at Yizhou University has increased again and again, and the current number has reached tens of thousands.
Of course, Li Min established several more universities throughout Jiannan Road, which relieved the pressure on Yizhou University.
But as for the women's college, it has already been built long ago.
Now we just need to start recruiting students and prepare some staff.
Next, Li Min found Xia Yuntian, the editor-in-chief of Yizhou Monthly, and ordered Xia Yuntian to publish a piece of news in Yizhou Monthly.
…
The new issue of Yizhou Monthly News was released, once again triggering a rush for it.
Now Yizhou Monthly has become a comprehensive newspaper covering fashion, news, entertainment, agriculture, etc. in Datang.
It meets the different needs of different groups, so sales are rising every period.
Needless to say, those rich people want to know about some of the new trends in Yizhou.
They directly ordered newspapers for the whole year, and as soon as the newspapers arrived, they would be delivered directly to their homes.
There are also those officials and gentry who also need to learn about some unusual things from the Yizhou Monthly Report.
Because the organizer of Yizhou Monthly News is a prince.
Although this prince is far away in Yizhou, who can say that he does not have some latest trends or some of the emperor's latest ideas?
As long as there is a little bit, it is earned.
There are also those students who work part-time as writers. What they like is the novel section above.
Nowadays, the novels published in Yizhou Monthly are no longer limited to Li Min and Xu Hui.
There are already many more guest authors, and depending on their popularity, they can get a lot of remuneration.
Nowadays, more and more people are submitting manuscripts. They are no longer worried about manuscripts, but worried about too many manuscripts for review...
Of course, promoting positive energy is indispensable.
What are the stories of filial sons, stories of loyalty, stories of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust, etc.
In addition, Yizhou Daily now also has a section on strange news from around the world.
They recruited many foreign correspondents to record strange things in different places, and then sent these stories back for publication.
Of course, these stories require authenticity.
Journalists in this era are still very dedicated and have professional ethics.
I didn’t learn the tricks of later generations to concoct news.
And this world-wide anecdotes section is also sought after by countless people.
Finally, there is the literary section of poetry, lyrics, songs, and rhymes. This section was also published throughout the Tang Dynasty and was highly sought after by many literati.
Then there is the agricultural sector, which makes people buy Yizhou Monthly.
Taken together, it would be strange if the sales volume of Yizhou Monthly Newspaper did not keep rising.
And for all this, Xia Yuntian, the editor-in-chief of Yizhou Monthly, takes the greatest credit.
The sales volume of Yizhou Monthly Newspaper has now increased by at least five times compared with before!
Yizhou Monthly's annual profit has now become very impressive.
…
The latest issue of Yizhou Monthly was still being snatched up.
However, the news inside did not cause much of a sensation outside Jiannan Road.
The news is that because the queen is seriously ill, in order to pray for the queen, the King of Shu decided to open a girls' school in Yizhou New City.
All young ladies from Jiannan Road can attend school for free.
These little ladies only need to be grateful to the Queen.
Many people did not take this news seriously.
Girls, what kind of school do they go to?
However, the King of Shu was praying for the Queen. This was his filial piety, so they didn't have much to say.
Those aristocratic families and those old stubborns were very dissatisfied with this news.
What is this King of Shu doing?
How can a woman go to school?
Isn't this a provocation to ethics?
They were all determined to impeach the King of Shu again.
But now, the king of Shu wants to pray for the queen. This is a manifestation of filial piety.
Even they did not dare to impeach the King of Shu at this juncture.
Impeaching the King of Shu at this time is simply seeking death.
But this news has a completely different meaning to the people of Jiannan Road.
Unexpectedly, the King of Shu would actually establish a women's college. This is simply awesome!
Now, in the entire Tang Dynasty, perhaps there is no enthusiasm for girls to go to school.
Because they will think that girls will have foreign surnames sooner or later, so what is the use of sending them to school?
Not only does it cost money to go to school, but it doesn’t help the family even a little bit.
At home, you can at least make a fire to cook and help the family with some farm work.
But in Yizhou, the situation is different.
Here in Jiannan Road, knowledge is quite valuable.
If you can read, write, and keep accounts, your salary will be doubled.
And according to the current form, it has more than doubled.
Because the entire Jiannan Road is developing very rapidly.
Therefore, the commercial development of Jiannan Road has also been extremely prosperous.
Because there are more and more shops or factories, the amount of labor has also increased greatly.
Even people from Tubo and Tuyuhun smuggled over to work.
Faced with this situation, Li Min did not strictly censor and prohibit illegal immigrants.
This is actually a good thing for the entire Jiannan Road.
Can it solve the labor shortage problem in Jiannan Road?
What is urgently needed now are those scholars who can keep accounts.
Don't look at Qiao Qiqi and others, they can learn thousands of words and keep accounts in a very short period of time.
It would take ordinary people at least several years to learn to this level.
As for the entire Jiannan Road, less than three years have passed since Li Min popularized the three-character Pinyin version of the book of hundreds of surnames.
This directly led to the shortage of scholars who could keep account books, so the salary of these scholars also increased with the tide.
Wages have now quadrupled that of ordinary workers, and are still rising.
Computing is a girl, as long as she can keep accounts and doesn't make mistakes, she can still find a job.
Now throughout Jiannan Road, due to the continuous improvement of living standards, employment opportunities continue to increase.
The money they earn from working has far exceeded the output of the fields.
It has become an indisputable fact that farming is not as good as working.
Of course, the small farmer mentality that food is the most important thing for the people still affects them.
There are not many people who do not farm at all.
But the idea of leaving girls at home to wash and cook is also quietly changing.
Let girls study for a few years and then come back to work. In one or two years, they can make up for all the lost years.
They will also be able to settle this account.
Moreover, even if a girl gets married, her status in her natal family will be different.
If this is the case, why not send girls to study?
Therefore, as soon as the news spread that a girls' school was to be established, many parents came to inquire about the specific enrollment situation.
At this time, recruitment within the school has also been completed.
It's a girls' school. Naturally, all the chefs and security guards are female.
Anyway, the salary given by the King of Shu is very high, which is twice that of other shops outside, so there is no need to worry about recruiting employees.
Now, we have a principal, Qiao Qiqi.
The staff are in place and the university has been built long ago. What is missing now are teachers.
Qiao Qiqi alone cannot teach so many students.
What surprised Li Min was that when the princesses from the fifteen countries heard about this incident, they took the initiative to ask for help and come to teach.
However, they also have a condition, that is, children from their country can study at Yizhou University and Yizhou Women's University.
Li Min agreed to this request without even thinking about it.
…
At this time, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty asked Li Min to build another train to open a railway between Yizhou and Hangzhou.
Of course, a railway line will be opened between Hangzhou and Chang'an.
