Xishan Institute of Technology was crowded in front of the central square, and it took three months to gather thousands of people, craftsmen, and teachings.

In the center of the square, facing south, stands a six-storey brick and stone building, which is used as a building for the teachings.

At this time, all the disciples of the College of Engineering and all the teachings stood in the square in anticipation.

"Hey, have you heard, today not only our mountain chief is coming to give a speech, but also the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court is also going to be cheering." A half-grown child dressed in coarse cloth and obviously a farmer's child tilted his head to the people around him.

"Why haven't you heard that our mountain chief is the king of Anguo County, how dare the mountain chief invite Lord Shangshu?" The other answered.

"My name is Shi Kai from Henan, and my father is a stonemason, how do you call it?" Another wave of people also whispered to each other, introducing each other to their classmates after them.

"My name is Niu Dali, from Shuntianfu, my father asked me to come to the College of Engineering to let me learn the craft." The person who said this is a sturdy half-sized boy, and it seems that his family is in a good state to have this body in the year of natural disasters.

"There are more than 20 courses in our College of Engineering, which three do you apply?" A group of half-sized men from all over the country became acquainted in a short time.

As early as a month ago, Song Yingxing, Xu Ji and Liu Hong gradually discussed the subjects taught by the Institute of Engineering.

The subjects are mainly divided into two categories, one is heavy industry and the other is light industry.

Under heavy industry, it is divided into civil engineering, mining, and smelting, and under civil engineering, it is divided into housing construction, bridges, transportation, water conservancy and other subjects.

Mining is divided into oil mining, coal mining, metal mining, non-metallic mining, and timber harvesting......

There are several types of subjects below smelting, including coking, cement, coal, stone reprocessing, and chemistry......

Light industry is divided into textile, daily chemical, and subdivided into cotton, wool, linen, silk textile and sewing, leather and its products, papermaking, glass, ceramics and so on.

The School of Engineering stipulates that each student must first choose heavy industry or light industry, and then must choose three subjects as compulsory and three subjects as electives, and the duration of study is three years.

"My father is a stonemason, so I naturally want to choose smelting, and the other two I want to choose what metal to mine and refine, as for what to choose, I haven't thought about it yet." Shi Kai scratched his head and replied.

"Hey, what's your name, little man? Why don't you speak? Niu Dali saw a thin, richly dressed boy standing silent, patted him on the shoulder and asked.

Seeing that the conditions at Shi Xingtou's family should be good, Shi Kai couldn't help frowning.

"Oh, in Xia Sun Yunqiu, from Wujiang County, Suzhou Prefecture." The little man arched his hand.

"Southerners, it's rare to see them in engineering colleges!" Niu replied vigorously.

In the eyes of most northerners, most of the talented people in Jiangnan are people who like to dance and write, and this little man is from a rich family or a Jiangnan person, and he can't help but let a group of poor boys give birth to a ******* know the north and the south. Sun Yunqiu arched his hand and drew a circle, neither humble nor arrogant.

"It's coming, it's coming!" While everyone was talking, a group of people came in at the gate of the College of Engineering.

Two rows of guards Hulala were the first to come in and look around, they didn't care about these teachings or students, they had only one task in any case, to protect the safety of their own adults.

Liu Honggradually came together with Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and accepted the greetings of the teachings and students with a smile.

Fan Jingwen was dragged by Liu Hong's gradual strengthening, and he didn't even go to the early dynasty, which was a big crime in the imperial court, although Liu Hongjian told him that he had greeted Chongzhen, but Fan Jingwen was still worried in his heart.

Liu Hong gradually climbed onto a bluestone casting platform, and everyone below waited silently for the mountain elder to speak.

Among the students in the first phase were poor people who could not eat, and there were children who were originally craftsmen, but most of them were the former.

Although the imperial court has issued a holy decree to allow the families of craftsmen to choose their jobs freely, the resentment of three hundred years still makes the people of the Ming Dynasty think that craftsmen are lowly professions.

Because of this, for most students, Liu Hongjian was first the king of Anguo County of the Ming Dynasty, and then the head of the School of Engineering, and most of them came here with the idea of eating together.

After all, the College of Engineering is about food and housing.

"You may know who I am, I am your mountain chief, and the only name you will give me in the future.

Here, there is no dignity and humility, I don't care if you were a poor person or a rich family before, in the College of Engineering, you are all classmates, your task is only one, let go of prejudices, the pursuit of true knowledge, the extreme of poverty, for the prosperity of industry, for the rise of the Ming Dynasty and forge ahead. ”

Liu Hong gradually put away his smile and looked at the curious half-sized children below.

"Chief Benshan also knows that many of you have entered the engineering college to relieve some of the burden on your family, and this is not a big deal, and Chief Benshan accepts you.

But! The Faculty of Engineering is not a place to be lazy and lazy, and from today onwards, the Faculty of Engineering will open for classes, and you will have a month to receive the preliminary assessment of your respective teachings.

Those who are unqualified will be repatriated to their hometowns with road fares.

After that, there will be an assessment every three months, and those who fail will still be repatriated, even if only a hundred people are left in the end, the chief of this mountain will not hesitate, and there will be no people who will die here!

Good scholars, those who are suspicious of everything, and those who have the courage to climb the peak of science and technology, the chief of this mountain assures you that the School of Engineering will provide the best teaching conditions and the most experienced teachings of the Ming Dynasty, and this will be your starting point! The starting point for take-off! ”

Liu Hong gradually knew the situation and thoughts of these 1,500 students, but this point must be explained to them that the School of Engineering will definitely not practice bureaucracy, and everything is about ability.

As soon as they spoke, some of the young students below lowered their heads, some were excited, Shi Kai and Niu clenched their fists vigorously and almost shouted, while Sun Yunqiu was still standing straight, but his face was full of yearning.

"Do you see this uncle? He is the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, Master Fan Jingwen Fan, hear it! Liu Hong gradually changed his words, turned around and pulled Fan Jingwen's sleeve, and said with a wicked smile.

"Hello Master Fan!" Many students naturally listened to the words of the mountain elder, but their voices were not very neat.

"Good students, good students, good students, good students, and serve the court in the future." Uncle Fan was embarrassed by Liu Hongji's operation, and subconsciously replied.

He still didn't know what the county king was pulling him for, he asked several times, but Liu Hongjian just didn't say.

"The craftsman is no longer a low-level trade, the craftsman will be the glory of the Ming Dynasty, the chief of this mountain announced, after three years, when you wait for the day you complete your studies, the College of Engineering will be responsible for arranging the livelihood of all the children!

At that time, the doors of the workshops of the Ministry of Industry will also be open to you, and the starting salary will be three taels of silver per month! Isn't it, Lord Fan? Liu Honggradually came back to the sentence.

"Huh?" Fan Jingwen was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what this kid had in mind.

Yesterday, the Cabinet discussed the salaries of craftsmen, and the salaries of the lowest craftsmen in the workshops of the Ministry of Industry were raised to two months' salaries.

The meaning of Liu Hongchuan's words is very clear, all students who graduate from the College of Engineering will have a starting salary of three taels.

"Well, what the prince said is that during the three-year period, the official is waiting for you, and you are welcome to join the workshop!" Although there is an excess, the difference is not very large, and it is not difficult to think about it.

Engineering can flourish, and he is also honored to be a scholar of the Ministry of Engineering, although Fan Jingwen was a general, he still should drink.

"Don't worry, Master Fan, in three years, you will be very proud of today's Yinuo!" Liu Hong gradually turned around and whispered to Fan Jingwen.

He also knew that this matter was a little embarrassing, but the beginning of the establishment of the College of Engineering was to revitalize the industrial level of the Ming Dynasty, and the teaching books of the College of Engineering summarized the crystallization of the current craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, plus the basic science and technology books provided by Liu Hongjian in later generations, it was impossible to think about it.

The reason why Liu Hongjian brought Fan Jingwen here is to let these poor students let go of their worries and be able to study scientific research with one mind.

After all, the work has been assigned, the salary is not low, and there is food and accommodation, what do you want to do so much?

"Use your breastfeeding strength to tell Chief Benshan, what is the motto of the College of Engineering?" Liu Hong gradually raised his voice.

"Exhaustive reasoning, achievement in work!" Fifteen hundred students shouted in unison, perhaps they had not been worried about the road to craftsmanship before, but now that they had been promised, all the students became excited.

These eight words stand on a whole piece of white marble in front of the gate of the School of Engineering, and the students have naturally remembered it for a long time.

"Maybe you are proud to have joined the Faculty of Engineering now, but when you finish your studies in three years, the Faculty of Engineering will be proud of you!

Finally, welcome to Daming Royal Institute of Technology! ”
