Mao Wenlong stayed in Fucheng for a day, walked around, and found that the current changes in the Ming Dynasty were indeed making great progress. From the people's livelihood to the weapons of the officers and men in the army, there has been great progress. In particular, the equipment for unloading at the port has begun to apply the advanced equipment created by Weihaiwei University.

It is said that the college has now opened a class for the invention of people's livelihood appliances, and has achieved good results, forming a way to make money. The academy's annual expenses no longer need to be begged from the imperial court, but it is self-sufficient and still exists. Such a situation was unexpected by Mao Wenlong, after all, the research and development of everything in the academy requires a lot of financial support.

After learning about these circumstances, Mao Wenlong suddenly became more and more interested in Weihaiwei Academy, and he didn't come back for three years and changed so much, which really made Mao Wenlong very interested.

Weihaiwei Port is as prosperous as Guangzhou's Fucheng, and Mao Wenlong stepped on Weihaiwei Port for the first time, as if he had already felt the great changes in Weihaiwei.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the first prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, and when Mao Wenlong arrived at the port, the dean of Weihaiwei College personally greeted him.

After three years of training, Xin Wei, the dean, has aged a lot, and he has become more sophisticated and calm. When he greeted Mao Wenlong, he was very calm, the smile on his face was just right, not arrogant or impatient!

"The general soldier has worked hard all the way, so follow the subordinate to the academy to rest." Xin Wei spoke, stretching out his hand and pointing to the waiting carriage.

"Don't worry, let the carriage let Madame go back to the academy to live first, and you can accompany me to take a walk around this port." Mao Wenlong shook his head and refused Xin Wei's invitation.

Mao Wenlong didn't want to rest, Xin Wei naturally didn't dare to disobey, so he could only let his housekeeper personally pick up Hong Ziyan's mother and daughter. It wasn't until the mother and daughter left with more than a dozen carriages of specialties that Xin Wei turned around and came back to accompany Mao Wenlong around the port.

The huge port has almost the entire coastline of Weihaiwei and can be used as a dock for docking ships. At present, Weihaiwei has been connected and merged with Anton Wei, so there is no problem that the port of Weihaiwei is the largest wharf in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"General soldier, although the port of Weihaiwei is the largest in the Ming Dynasty today, it is not for trade. Instead, it was used exclusively for the Academy, and as the Academy continued to expand, the port was now beginning to become saturated. If you don't expand within three years, it may not be enough in the future. Xin Wei said with distress.

Since the opening of the college, it has been less than ten years, but it has almost covered the entire Qingzhou Mansion. There are more than 100,000 students from all over the Ming Dynasty, all of whom are talented people with a skill. At present, the academy is the most powerful heart of hematopoiesis in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is civil and military talent, or people's livelihood plans, or the research and development of various novelties.

The current rapid development of the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from the academy's ability to transport all kinds of talents, and Xin Wei's contribution is also growing day by day. Especially after Hong Chengchou left the Wa Kingdom, Xin Wei seemed to have a tendency to begin to replace him in the supreme position in the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to Xin Wei's argument, Mao Wenlong immediately sensed that Xin Wei had something to say. The little old man in front of him really impressed Mao Wenlong, compared to when he first met Xin Wei, he seemed to be old and experienced at this moment. So much so that he dared to speak in front of him and said that if this had been put in the past, he would not have dared to do it.

Staring at Xin Wei with slanted eyes, Mao Wenlong suddenly said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't let this general soldier spend any more brains." ”

Xin Wei was very stunned, he didn't expect Mao Wenlong to suddenly change his face, he hesitated for a moment, and put away the depressed look on his face. He said solemnly: "General soldier, as mentioned in the letter before, another class will be opened in the academy to accommodate those students from outside the state. But now Weihaiwei can no longer make expansions, so please also ask the general army to investigate! ”

"Can't expand ...... anymore"

Mao Wenlong frowned, his face full of disbelief.

Weihaiwei seems to have included the entire Qingzhou Mansion, and the entire prefecture has become a academy. Now Xin Wei is crying in front of him, saying that he can't expand anymore? Mao Wenlong will not be gullible in saying anything!

Seeing Mao Wenlong's expression of disbelief, Xin Wei explained very depressedly: "The general soldier doesn't know, although the entire Qingzhou Mansion has been included in the academy in the past two years. However, the expansion of the college is even more rapid, especially in the area of research and development and people's livelihood, which has invested the most in the past two years, accounting for almost half of the entire college. ”

After Mao Wenlong heard this, he still didn't believe it, so he simply asked Xin Wei to take him to see it in person. Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Mao Wenlong feels that he is more at ease to see.

Mao Wenlong was willing to go to see it in person, Xin Wei was naturally pleased, he immediately ordered someone to get a carriage, and after getting on the car with Mao Wenlong, he rushed all the way back to the academy.

Due to the continuous expansion, the entire Qingzhou Prefecture is within the scope of the college, except for the port. In the past, the old academy enclosed by high walls was regarded as a place for ordnance research and development and the teaching of truly high-level talents, while these loosely guarded places on the periphery were all places for learning, research and development of people's livelihood.

As soon as the carriage left the port, it was as if it were entering a large capital, and three or four storey cement houses abounded. The neat and spacious streets are all paved with cement roads, and Mao Wenlong is lying on the car window, looking at the situation outside, he suddenly has the illusion of returning to the future town.

If it weren't for the traffic on the street, it was a horse-drawn carriage, and the costumes of the pedestrians all showed that the place where Mao Wenlong was now located was in the Ming Dynasty. Then Mao Wenlong will not doubt that he has really returned to the afterlife!

Seeing Mao Wenlong's surprised eyes, Xin Wei's old face finally showed a trace of self-satisfaction. Weihaiwei's current prosperity definitely has a lot to do with his great dedication, so when Mao Wenlong showed a satisfied and praising look. Xin Wei's heart was satisfied like never before at that moment!

Mao Wenlong saw Xin Wei's smug expression with a slanted eye, but he didn't count the blows this time, but nodded and gave an affirmative smile.

Xin Wei can directly ignore the affirmation given by others, but only the affirmation given to him by Mao Wenlong will make him feel turbulent. In Xin Wei's heart, he only admired Mao Wenlong, and of course, Hong Chengchou, who brought him up.

"The changes in Weihaiwei are indeed beyond my imagination." Mao Wenlong said with a smile.

"Chief soldier, in fact, Weihaiwei is just a microcosm of the current Ming Dynasty, and there are not many other places here?" Xin Wei replied confidently.
