"Ah? Yamachō! I can't be the Deputy Chief Designer! You'd better let the other gentlemen do it! "
In the meeting room on the first floor of Guanghua Building.
As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, Li Tai was the first to exclaim. He had expected Li Zexuan to let him take on heavy responsibilities in the two killer projects, but he didn't expect Li Zexuan to let him be the Deputy Chief Designer directly. He was just a student!
In the past year of Yanhuang College, an academic atmosphere of respect for teachers had formed. In the College, no matter if you were a high-ranking official or a noble, once you came here, you had to listen to the arrangements of the teachers. Therefore, when Li Tai heard that he was going to be the Deputy Chief Designer and lead a group of teachers in the College to work on the projects, the little fatty was immediately "flattered".
At this moment, the teachers in the meeting room were also discussing spiritedly. Some of them even looked a little unconvinced. After all, Li Zexuan's move was publicly announcing that their abilities were not as good as Li Tai's. How could some of the proud teachers be convinced?
"Yamachō, Qingque is talented and has excellent grades in the College. This is undeniable, but he is still a student. Now that the College's final exam is imminent, Qingque should seize the time to prepare for the exam. If he is appointed as the Deputy Chief Designer, I'm afraid it will affect his studies. Yamachō, please reconsider!"
Sure enough, as soon as Li Tai finished speaking, one of the teachers in the College stood up and saluted Li Zexuan.
The person who spoke was Mo Chui!
As the next powerful successor of the Mo family, Mo Chui's personal ability was naturally impeccable. Otherwise, he wouldn't be one of the Deputy Chief Designers of the second and third killer projects. However, Mo Chui also had his own pride. Now that Li Zexuan asked Li Tai to be on equal footing with him and to be the Deputy Chief Designer together, Mo Chui felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
However, Mo Chui was not the kind of person with low EQ. He didn't directly express his displeasure in his heart, but used a slightly better excuse!
"Yes! Yamachō! Qingque is still a student after all. She should prioritize her studies! "
"That's right! As a student, Qingque can participate in the Trump Card project, but if he takes the position of deputy chief designer, it will definitely delay his studies! "
As soon as Mo Chui's voice fell, there was a sound of agreement in the conference room.
Li Zexuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Studies? Exam? Do the students of Yanhuang College study hard every day just for exams? Do you remember what I said on the first day of Yanhuang College last year? The most important thing for students of Yanhuang College is to apply what they have learned!
I compiled engineering textbooks and imparted engineering knowledge to them, not for them to deal with midterm or final exams. I need them to use this knowledge to create value for the Academy and the Tang Empire!
In Yanhuang College, Meng Wenhao and Han Li made outstanding contributions in quelling the rebellion in Guan City. Later, Ke Shiqing led the people of Shu County to build roads and mines, and became rich through hard work. They are the pride of our Academy. Even if their work affects their studies, they are still the role models of all the students of our Academy!
In my opinion, as long as Qingque can help us complete these two Trump Card projects, even if he doesn't participate in this semester's final exam, I will still give him an excellent grade in all subjects, because the value he creates is far greater than the final exam!
You may not know this, but Cyan Sparrow has already produced the key components needed for these two trump card projects. Therefore, I believe that he is absolutely capable of carrying out these two trump card projects.
In addition, I will emphasize again today that there will never be a ranking in Yanhuang College based on qualifications! The capable will go up, and the mediocre will go down. Regardless of age or qualifications, this has always been my principle of employing people. In the future, please don't use this secular principle in the Academy's scientific research projects! "
Yanhuang College had developed rapidly, but in the process of development, some problems were inevitably exposed, such as the ranking of qualifications. This was a fixed practice that had been passed down from the Chinese nation until now. Of course, Yanhuang College also had it, but it was not obvious under Li Zexuan's deliberate suppression.
Recently, Li Zexuan had been busy with the medical center and workshop, so he didn't stay in the Academy much. This directly led to the revival of the unhealthy trend of ranking qualifications. Li Zexuan felt that it was necessary to take advantage of today's meeting to clean up the atmosphere in the Academy!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became solemn, and the Academy teachers present couldn't help but sit up straight. Li Gang spoke at this time.
"Yamachō is right. The most important thing in the Academy to teach and educate is to let the students apply what they have learned. Examinations are just a way to test the results of their studies, and the Trump Card project is where the students can really express what they have learned. As long as there is a chance, the Academy should not prevent the students from participating in the Trump Card project.
This old man remembers that Yamachō once said that the knowledge gained on paper is shallow, and the knowledge gained must be experienced. If the Academy blindly focuses on theoretical education and examinations, and neglects practice, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the students! "
The old teacher was now old, and he usually didn't speak on many important matters in the Academy. Now that Li Zexuan wanted to clean up the atmosphere in the Academy, the old teacher had to speak up!
His words had the effect of making the final decision!
Yan Silu immediately stood up and said, "This old man agrees with Yamachō's point of view. The purpose of Yanhuang College is to establish a heart for the world and life for the people. If we only rely on theoretical knowledge in books and midterm and final exams, how can we establish a heart for the world and life for the people? If Qingque is really capable, what's wrong with letting him be the Deputy Chief Designer? "
When the three big shots of the Academy agreed on a matter together, it was basically the decision for this matter!
Mo Huai spoke up, "This old man agrees with Yamachō's suggestion!"
Xu Hongzhi cupped his hands and said, "This old man also agrees!"
Ma Zhou nodded and said, "This old man agrees!"
Wang Ji said, "This old man also agrees!"
Seeing this, the rest of the Academy teachers cupped their hands and said,
"We all agree with Yamachō's suggestion!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's good! Since everyone agreed, then this matter was settled! From today onwards, all of you must work together to complete the second and third trump cards of the Academy as soon as possible! For this, spare no effort in manpower, material, and financial resources! This is not only for the glory of the Academy, but also for the Tang Empire to become invincible in the world as soon as possible! "
"Yes! Yamachō! "
Everyone cupped their hands and agreed.
"Mm! Meeting adjourned! "
Li Zexuan immediately announced the end of the meeting and walked out of the conference room first. Li Tai hurriedly followed. The two walked out of Guanghua Building. In the corridor on the first floor, Li Tai hurriedly called out to Li Zexuan, "Yamachō, please wait!"
Li Zexuan immediately stopped and turned around. He looked at Li Tai with a playful smile on his face and said, "What's wrong? Qingque? Could it be that you still don't dare to accept this task? "
Li Tai's expression froze and he said helplessly, "Yamachō, it's not that I don't dare, it's that I can't! Although the Academy doesn't care about seniority, Tai has to respect the teachers! Yamachō asked me to be the deputy chief designer of the second and third trump cards projects. If there's any work in the future, how can Qingque dare to instruct the teachers of the Academy? "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Qingque, true respect is in the heart, not in the mouth! Besides, there will always be some difficulties at the beginning, but these difficulties are not insurmountable. You need to find a way yourself!
Today, I'll only tell you one thing! Xiao Ke is now able to take charge of the Yanhuang Bank. After the final exam of Yanhuang College is over, he will recruit some students who are proficient in mathematics and let them help him manage the Yanhuang Bank by working and learning.
When Li Ke was first sent to the Yanhuang Bank by me, wasn't he like you now? He had no experience and no connections, but he was able to achieve such results in the Yanhuang Bank. Qingque, are you inferior to him? "
Provocation!
But even if Li Tai knew that this was provocation, he had to accept it. Because from the moment he was born, Li Tai believed that he would not lose to anyone! Especially his own brother! Even if he had given up on fighting for the position of Crown Prince, he was not willing to fall behind others in terms of personal results!
"Good! Yamachō, I accept this task! Tai promises you today that I will complete the second and third trump cards projects of Yanhuang College within half a year! "
After listening to Li Zexuan's words, Li Tai's eyes suddenly became very firm. He promised Li Zexuan without hesitation.
"Good! Then go ahead and do it! The future of Yanhuang College will definitely belong to diligent young people like you and Ke! "
Li Zexuan smiled and patted Li Tai's shoulder.
When he first met Li Tai, he wanted to dilute Li Tai's competitiveness because he did not want Tang Dynasty's stable political situation to be ruined by Li Er's sons fighting for power. But now that Li Tai, Li Tai, Li Ke, and the others had clearly given up on fighting for the position of Crown Prince, Li Zexuan slowly began to arouse Li Tai's competitiveness. After all, in his opinion, appropriate and healthy competition was beneficial to personal improvement.
And from Li Tai's reaction, the effect was not bad!
…
"Faubert, how many second-generation bicycles have you produced?"
After two days, Li Zexuan once again came to the new workshop of Strange Interest Pavilion. He found Faubert and asked.
Faubert wiped his sweat and replied, "Young master, the chains of the second-generation bicycles require hydraulic stamping machines. And the workshop's machines are fully supplying Zhang Hongsheng's plate armor. The bicycles can only be given one stamping machine at most, so the progress is naturally slower. These few days, we have only produced a total of 50 second-generation bicycles! The workshop is now manufacturing more hydraulic stamping machines to speed up the production of bicycles! "
Li Zexuan heard this and could not help but be silent.
Speaking of which, the workshop now produced too many things. Cement, glass, carriages, steel, water wheels, first-generation bicycles, batteries, motors, generators, lightbulbs, second-generation bicycles, plate armor, lances, and so on. The workshop was a little too big. Not to mention Faubert, even Li Zexuan sometimes could not take care of everything.
Li Zexuan pondered in his heart. Perhaps he could assign some of the less technical tasks to the people of Lantian County to do!
"En! I got it! Faubert! When the number of second-generation bicycles reaches 100, send someone to inform me. We will sell 100 of them immediately! "
After a moment of silence, Li Zexuan opened his mouth and said.
"Yes! Young master! "
Faubert nodded his head and replied.
"Oh! Right! Faubert! How is the progress of the special bicycle that I asked you to produce? "
Li Zexuan suddenly asked.
The special bicycle that he was talking about was the wedding gift for Yan Shaoning and Mo Lingwei — the electric bicycle!
Faubert heard this and laughed, "Young master, the workshop has been using the stamping machines to forge the outer shell of the bicycle. I estimate that it will be done before the end of the month!"
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! That's good! Oh, there's one more thing. The workshop can't neglect the production of the batteries and DC motors! When Lantian County gets electricity, and the second generation of bicycles starts selling well, we will officially launch the electric bicycle. Then, we will be able to recoup some of our funds and cover more places in Lantian County with electricity! "
Now that he had copper, he could bring the electricity from the Ba River Hydropower Station to the county seat of Lantian County. After all, his residence was in the city. He was busy coming and going, so he had to seek some convenience for himself, right?
Faubert nodded his head and said, "Young master, don't worry. The battery and motor workshop has been producing. I guarantee that we will be able to launch a batch of electric bicycles before Lantian County is electrified! Oh, Mr. Wang has already refined a batch of higher purity brass. Now, the generators at the Ba River Hydropower Station have all been replaced with this type of high-purity brass core. I think that the power generation ability will be stronger than before! "
"Oh? The generators have been upgraded? That's great! "
Li Zexuan heard this and said with a face full of surprise, "Now, everything is ready. We just need to wait for the final push! I believe that before long, Lantian County will become the first city that never sleeps in the Tang Empire! "
After listening to Li Zexuan's description, Faubert's old face couldn't help but be filled with yearning. He smiled and said with emotion, "Who would have thought that I would be able to see a city that never sleeps in my lifetime? Following you, young master, I can see all kinds of miracles! "
Li Zexuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Faubert, since you want to see it, then keep looking. There are more miraculous things to come. Maybe in a few decades, ordinary people like us won't even need to take carriages when we go out. We can just take a flying vehicle and travel from Chang 'an to Luoyang in two hours!"
Faubert waved his hand and said, "I'm content! I'm content to have lived until now! I don't dare to ask for anything else! Now that Fu Bin, that brat, has made a name for himself under Young Master's command, this old man really has no regrets! Haha! "
