"Xiaoxuan, are you talking about the water tanker?"
Yan Shaoning looked at Li Zexuan on Yunshan Mountain and asked.
Li Zexuan nodded, "Yes, it's the water tanker. If this water tanker doesn't work, I can design a new water tanker with more power and a longer transmission distance!"
He had several water tanker models in his mind, but he wasn't familiar with them. He didn't know if they could be used in Yanhuang College.
If it weren't for the fact that the power system wasn't easy to solve, he would definitely build his own water tanker. For him, it was easy to build a water tanker, but the difficult part was the problem of the power required for the water tanker. He still lacked the materials for an internal combustion engine, and he didn't have a stable power supply system for an electric motor. Therefore, he could only rely on the water tanker.
Although Yan Shaoning was confident in Li Zexuan's creativity, he still shook his head and said,
"I don't think it's possible! Yanhuang College is too far away from Ba River, and the terrain is too high. It's impossible to use a water tanker to transport water! Even if it can be transported up, it can't be too much. Even if you can make a water tanker with more power, I think it's still useless and not worth the loss! "
Li Zexuan rubbed his eyebrows and seemed to be a little distressed. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, Shaoning, help me find a group of well builders and ask them to find a suitable place on Yunshan Mountain and dig a few wells for me! In the early stage of the College, let's transport water from the foot of the mountain! "
Yan Shaoning opened his eyes wide and said, "Are you crazy? Yunshan Mountain is so high, how can you dig a well? "
However, Li Zexuan shook his head and disagreed. "Shaoning, you're wrong. Although Cloud Mountain is relatively high, the trees on the mountain are dense and there's plenty of rain all year round. Some places can still be dug out. When the time comes, you can find an experienced craftsman and you should be able to find a few good spots ~!"
There's a saying that it's futile to dig a well on the mountain. Many people think that it's impossible to dig underground water because of the high terrain on the mountain. This is a misconception. In fact, there are places on the mountain where underground water can be found.
Underground water didn't only exist on flat land, but also on high mountains. Sometimes, there was no water at all in places lower than the horizon! The existence of underground water was related to the structure of rock strata. Some rock strata couldn't store water, while some rock strata had confined water. Besides, there were soil, trees, and flowers on the mountain. These things were the main factors for storing water. If the soil and water were well preserved, it was not impossible to dig up water by just digging two or three meters.
In Li Zexuan's previous life, one of his relatives had contracted a mountain to raise chickens. Because the mountain was high and there was no running water, his relative had hired someone to dig a well on the mountain. In the end, they only dug 1.5 meters before they found water. Therefore, when it came to digging a well, the terrain was not the deciding factor.
Yan Shaoning, on the other hand, didn't understand these things. He asked skeptically, "Can you really dig a well out of such a high mountain?"
Li Zexuan said confidently, "Definitely. Don't worry, Shaoning. As long as the craftsmen are experienced and can distinguish the water level, they will definitely be able to dig a well in Yunshan!"
"Alright! Tomorrow, I'll arrange for someone to go to Chang 'an to look for a well builder! "
… … …
In Yunshan, the construction of the college was in full swing. In Datang Daily, there were waves of publicity about Gong Xue and Yanhuang College. When Gong Xue was first publicized, Ma Zhou had arranged for a group of people to study Li Zexuan's published articles. Many people in the editorial department had a deeper understanding of Gong Xue, so there was no need for Li Zexuan to do the publicity. There were plenty of people in the editorial department who were talented in this field.
Therefore, recently, the news section of the newspaper was almost filled with the words Yanhuang College and Gong Xue. Under such fierce publicity, more and more people knew what Gong Xue was, and what kind of college Yanhuang College was being built outside Chang 'an City.
Gong Xue, Yanhuang Academy. In an instant, their momentum was like a rainbow!
Of course, in the past, there would be many Confucian defenders who would jump out and criticize Li Zexuan for bragging about Gong Xue in the newspaper. However, since Cui Yunhan left Qiongzhou and Li Zexuan flew to Chang 'an City in the middle of autumn, almost all the voices of opposition died down. First, they were unreasonable, and second, they were cowards.
Moreover, as the Wang family quickly sold the newspapers to other states and counties, Gong Xue and Yanhuang College's reputation began to radiate to other regions. In particular, the story of Li Zexuan flying into the sky on the Mid-Autumn Festival was particularly shocking. The most intuitive manifestation was that according to the data fed back by the branches of Tang Dynasty Daily, the number of students signing up for Yanhuang Academy began to show an exponential explosive growth. As early as two days ago, it had already exceeded 2,000 people.
If this data were to be announced, it would definitely cause a huge uproar. This was because even the Directorate of Education and the Hongwen School combined didn't have that many students ~!
Of course, there were many students who signed up on impulse after seeing the news. It was very likely that they hadn't fully grasped the subjects of Yanhuang College's entrance exam. Even if they came to take the exam, they wouldn't have any hope of getting in.
More students chose to buy a new mathematics textbook and read it at home. If they could understand it and learn it well, then they would sign up. If they didn't understand it, then they wouldn't sign up. This could be seen from the sales of the new mathematics textbooks.
Up until now, Qiqu Culture's mathematics textbooks had already sold more than fifty thousand books. Fifty thousand versus two thousand. This was a very large disparity. Of course, there were also some mathematics enthusiasts who just wanted to study Li Zexuan's new mathematics textbook.
In addition to the increase in students signing up, there were also more and more people who wanted to apply to be Yanhuang College's teachers. First, it was because Li Zexuan's salary was too generous. Second, it was because Gong Xue and Yanhuang College couldn't be more popular now. If they came to teach here, they could gain both fame and fortune ~! Only fools wouldn't come ~!
First, there were some famous scholars in Chang 'an. They were the first to come to Li Zexuan for an interview. These days, Li Zexuan held ten interviews, but he only hired one person, and it was an old acquaintance. When he was in the Directorate of Education, Assistant Professor Mou, who sat opposite him in the office, followed closely behind Xu Hongzhi and also wanted to change jobs.
The rest of the people were either too deeply influenced by Confucianism, or they didn't have any teaching skills at all. They were the type that completely followed the script. Li Zexuan said that he couldn't even listen to such boring lectures, so how could his future students be willing to listen ~?
Therefore, of the ten teachers who came to apply, only one was successful. The low acceptance rate of Yanhuang College's teachers gradually spread out.
