That is, Luo Xin does not compete with Gao Gong for power and profit in the cabinet, but you Gao Gong should not meddle in the part of our Ministry of Industry, and make irresponsible remarks about the reform of the Ministry of Industry.

Gao Gong thought about it for a few days, and definitely did not contradict Luo Xin for the time being, because although Xu Jie left the cabinet, the Xu Party was not dissolved, and it was still a huge force, and his main political enemy was still the Xu Party, at this time, it was very unwise to erect Luo Xin, a political enemy.

Therefore, Luo Xin suggested that the college be nominated as the name of the institute, and Gao Gong did not object in the slightest. Moreover, Luo Xin asked Emperor Longqing to personally give the name of the Academy.

The institute is a land provided by the imperial court, which was funded by the cabinet and built by the Ministry of Industry. Therefore, the engineering academy is not a private school, but a academy belonging to the state, similar to the Guozijian. Of course, none of the officials of the imperial court took the Gongyuan seriously, and no one compared the status of the Gongyuan with that of the Guozijian.

Because Luo Xin has put forward the slogan of the Institute of Engineering, it is to revitalize science and technology.

Technology?

Hehe......

In the hearts of hundreds of officials, that is a group of craftsmen, will there be scholars to go to the engineering academy? Will anyone go to the engineering institute to be a teacher?

Everyone was waiting to see Luo Xin's joke.

At this time, there were four people sitting in Luo Xin's duty room. Now Luo Xin is already the second assistant of the cabinet and has his own independent duty room. Luo Xin sat in the first place at this time, and Lin Yuntong, Zhou Yu and Sha Long sat on both sides.

"Brother Haode, how is the academy building?" Luo Xin asked softly.

"Almost!" Zhou Yu said excitedly: "Mr. Sha Lang and those people are really amazing, there are many ways to speed up the progress, get a few wheels, use a rope to wrap a few times, you can lift a few hundred catties of weight." No, is that what you're talking about? ”

"Not bad!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "You will see more scientific and technological power in the future." How long do you estimate it will take to complete the project? ”

"Ten days, give me another ten days, and it will be completely finished. Of course, this is only the first part of the construction. ”

"That's enough for now. First we have a house for classes, and then we will build laboratories, dormitories, etc., and we will fence the whole college around. It takes a long time, and it also requires a lot of silver, and the one million allocated by the household department is not enough. ”

"What then?" Zhou Yu said anxiously.

Luo Xin looked at Sharon with a smile and said, "Mr. Sharon, how is the cement I asked you to test in Hangzhou before?" ”

"It's been produced a long time ago, and I haven't been ordered by you, so it has never been produced."

"Good!" Luo Xin said happily: "Build a kiln first and start making cement. Then the house was built with cement and the fence was built. At the same time, the academy set up a construction team to build houses for others in the future, and by building houses, it naturally made cement famous. Such a house is sturdy and sturdy, and it is not easy to catch fire, so it will definitely be promoted soon. When the time comes, we will only sell cement, and the academy will not be short of money. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xin turned his head to look at Lin Yuntong again: "Brother Lin, how is the recruitment of personnel?" ”

Lin Yuntong shook his head bitterly and said, "There are no scholars who are willing to come to our institute to study, but we have recruited four talents who are willing to come to the academy to teach." ”

"Only four talents have been recruited!" A hint of disappointment appeared on Luo Xin's face.

"It's not easy." Lin Yuntong complained: "It's because these four talents are too poor to survive, so they are willing to come to our institute to teach." Now you don't know how all the officials are laughing at our Ministry of Industry. ”

"Four is four." Luo Xin said helplessly: "Has the student been recruited?" ”

Lin Yuntong shook his head and said, "I can't recruit at all." ”

Luo Xin frowned and said, "How did you recruit you?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Lin Yuntong said with a tired face: "I visited many academies in the capital and the surrounding areas, and also posted notices, but no one came to our academy, especially when I heard that we are here just for some technology, not for the imperial examination, and all I get is ridicule." ”

Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Brother Lin, your way of recruiting students is not right. ”

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuntong was not convinced.

"Those who are studying, or those who have the conditions to study, are already stupid to study, they only think about the imperial examination, and they will not consider our engineering institute that does not attach importance to the imperial examination. We should face those families who do not have the means to study. Those families usually send their children to various shops for apprenticeship, and they can't get a copper plate for a few years, but they have to entrust people, just to learn a life skill. There are even poor families who cannot afford to raise their children at all, and give their children away as slaves.

So, we should be dealing with these people. We don't need tuition, and we have food and housing. In this way, the students will definitely be received. ”

"That's it!" Lin Yuntong thought for a while and said, "This can receive students, and it can receive a lot." However, such children are illiterate in big words, if you want to teach them literacy, it is impossible without years of hard work, what kind of technology do such people do? ”

"Literacy is not so troublesome, I will produce a textbook."

"You publish textbooks?" Lin Yuntong had a look of surprise on his face.

"Hmm!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "It should be no problem to teach those children to know enough words within a year." In the first year, there are two courses, Chinese and Mathematics. ”

"Language and Mathematics?"

"Language is literacy and teaching them the meaning of words, and mathematics is the number in the six arts."

"Teach them literacy in a year?" The look on Lin Yuntong's face was even more surprised.

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "I'll know when the time comes." By the way, let those four Xiucai live in my house today, and from tonight onwards, I will teach them some Chinese and math knowledge every day, and when you recruit all the students, they can also teach those students. ”

"My lord, how many are you enrolled?"

Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Fifty people." When these fifty people are trained, we will have our own husband. ”

"That'...... My lord! Lin Yuntong hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I go and listen to the adults' lectures tonight?" ”

Luo Xinxin knew that this was a textbook compiled by Lin Yuntong, and he didn't believe that he could teach those schoolchildren enough words in a year. Then he nodded happily and said:

"Welcome." Then he turned to Zhou Yu and said, "Do you want to listen to it too?" ”

"I can't ask for it!" Zhou Yuhan said with a smile, and he also had some disbelief in his heart, they were all people who had studied hard in the cold window, where could it be so easy to read and write?

The three of them studied the reform of the Ministry of Industry for a while, and then dispersed.

Twilight.

Luo Xin and Zhou Yu, Haizheng, Zhang Xun, Tao Xingyan, Yun Zhiqiu, Xu Shixing, Chen Yiqin stood at the door, Zhou Yu compiled a textbook for Luo Xin, and today he was going to teach the four Xiucai to a few people, these people were very curious, and after the duty, they came to Luo Mansion with Luo Xin, and they were waiting for Lin Yuntong at the door.
