Du Qi sat in the carriage, but his mind was not calm. Previously, Du Qi had arranged for Guo Xiaozheng to be the registrar of Lord Ping Xi Mansion and also be in charge of inspecting the officials. But now, it seemed that this method was not very effective.
It did not have any real effect.
Many local officials were still doing things their own way and were still officials. In other words, Guo Xiaozheng was busy after he arrived in Yizhou and could not go all out to fight against corruption like he did in Jiuquan County of Suzhou. Anti-corruption, not only anti-corruption, but also this kind of lazy government, as well as this kind of wanton behavior, must be dealt with together.
Du Qi's plan was to set up a separate department to be in charge of inspecting the officials. In this way, a situation like Hu Zhangcong's would not happen again.
A group of people were practicing on the streets on such a cold day. Moreover, this kind of practice was meaningless and did not have the slightest effect on cleaning the streets.
It was a complete waste.
After Du Qi had this idea in his mind, he temporarily suppressed it. He would think about this matter after the honeycomb briquette problem was solved. Du Qi closed his eyes to rest. The carriage sped all the way out of the county and went straight to the University of Science and Technology.
After several months of development, the University of Science and Technology had been enriched with people from the Hundred Schools of Thought. Because there was no special school of Confucianism, there was no place to teach Confucianism, so the atmosphere in the University of Science and Technology was quite harmonious.
Each school was doing their own research.
In particular, there were many people coming and going. After all, whether it was the Medical School, the School of Production, or even the School of Agriculture, as well as other schools, they all had a lot of external affairs.
Because of the many businesses, the schools were bustling with people coming and going.
Du Qi saw this scene and was naturally gratified.
This was what he wanted to see.
A hundred schools of thought contending and flourishing together. This was the great development of learning. Of course, this was only possible in the Western Region. If it were the Central Plains, it would definitely be impossible because Confucianism had been in the dominant position for nearly a thousand years and had long been deeply rooted.
Du Qi went straight in and went to the School of Production.
Currently, there were Tang Zhongsheng, Wang Wenkai, and many other newly recruited craftsmen in the Manufacturing School. The development of the school was excellent. In particular, Du Qi had sent a batch of books, which were all about smelting and the use of various iron ores and coal mines. They were all helpful for forging and smelting and could improve the manufacturing process.
Apart from that, Du Qi had also sent over many books on manufacturing to enrich the School of Manufacturing.
As a result, the School of Production developed very quickly.
When Du Qi arrived, he arranged for someone to call Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai over. He handed the honeycomb briquette mold blueprint to them and said, "This is the blueprint. Take a look and see if you can make it."
Tang Zhongsheng looked through it once and handed it over to Wang Wenkai. The two of them looked at each other and nodded. Tang Zhongsheng said, "Your Highness, it's not difficult to make this item. We can make it in half a day at most. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can go and make it now. Tomorrow morning, send it directly to the Prince's Mansion. "
"Yes!"
Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai replied in unison.
For the two of them, this was not difficult at all.
Du Qi then asked about the smelting of weapons and other manufacturing matters.
Tang Zhongsheng said, "Your Highness, regarding the smelting of battle blades, the iron ore that I originally discovered is being mined in large quantities. The remaining iron ore has also been mined. After we tried smelting it, we found that although the weapons forged are not as sharp as our sharpest battle blades, they are still much sharper than ordinary battle blades. Previously, when Your Highness was not around, we did not report it. Now that Your Highness is back, we can talk about this matter. "
Du Qi said, "How much weaker is the sharpness of the new weapons compared to our sharpest battle blades?"
Tang Zhongsheng said, "About 30% weaker."
Du Qi said, "That's not bad."
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "Can the new ore used to smelt weapons be used to make battle blades in large quantities?"
"Yes!"
Tang Zhongsheng nodded and answered.
Du Qi ordered, "Since it can be made in large quantities, then make it. Although we can't use these weapons, it doesn't mean we can't give them to others. It's also possible to make money through weapons. "
"This humble subordinate understands!"
Tang Zhongsheng immediately agreed.
Wang Wenkai also talked about manufacturing. He had already made hang gliders. According to Du Qi's advice, people could now fly on hang gliders. Especially since Wang Wenkai had already found people to experiment with it. With the help of the wind, it would not be a problem to fly a few li or more than ten li.
Du Qi was full of praise for Wang Wenkai's manufacturing. The existence of gliders was very useful in certain situations when two armies were engaged in battle.
After encouraging Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai, Du Qi got up and left, heading straight for the medical school.
The University of Science and Technology was very big.
There were many schools inside. When Du Qi arrived at the medical school, Sun Simiao was still teaching students. Compared to forging and so on, medicine was more complicated and had higher requirements.
Although many of the students recruited had weak foundations, they were all selected and were considered good. Therefore, many people could learn the medicine taught by Sun Simiao.
Moreover, there was also a nursing course.
This nursing course was mainly for women. After all, in a place like the Western Regions, the separation between men and women was not so serious. Many women from ordinary families who did not have many opportunities were willing to come to the medical school to give it a try.
Even if Sun Simiao knew how to teach nursing, he could only follow the teachings in books.
After all, Sun Simiao had never experienced it.
Du Qi waited for about half an hour before Sun Simiao came back with a book. When he saw Du Qi, a bright smile appeared on his face and he said, "Your Highness!"
The current Sun Simiao was very fulfilling.
On the one hand, he wrote books based on his many years of experience. On the other hand, he passed on his knowledge and widely promoted medicine, increasing the influence of doctors.
This was what Sun Simiao was happy about.
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Doctor Sun, please sit!"
After Sun Simiao sat down, he said, "Your Highness, what brings you to the medical school today?"
Du Qi asked, "Doctor Sun, how are the medical students studying now?"
Sun Simiao said, "Your Highness, the medical students in the medical school have only studied for a short time, so now they only have a basic understanding. In terms of medical skills, they are still far behind. As for the nursing students, because nursing is relatively simple, it's not bad. "
Du Qi said, "That's good."
As for the medical school, Du Qi had great hopes for it because saving lives and helping the injured was a huge project. Moreover, everyone in this world would fall sick and everyone would seek medical treatment, so the medical school must be developed.
