When Li Shimin saw the musket with his own eyes, he immediately realized the role that this weapon would play on the battlefield in the future.

After rewarding a master of the firearms workshop, he ordered Xia Hongsheng to select 5,000 men and horses from the elite soldiers of the Right Guards to form the first musketeer of the Tang Dynasty.

Five thousand men and horses is not a small number, especially for this newly crafted weapon. It's not that it's hard to choose, just the musket is equipped, and it will take a long time to make enough for five thousand people to equip it.

And the ammunition needed to train these five thousand men to be good enough for musketeers, which is also a huge amount. However, fortunately, the projectile is much less difficult to make than the musket itself, but if you want to really build a musketeer that can be used enough, I am afraid that it will not be possible in a few years.

Since it is not an overnight thing, Xia Hongsheng is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to start after so many muskets have been built.

So Xia Hongsheng also returned to Jingyang from Chang'an - he also had to prepare the textbooks of the Normal College.

There is no need to prepare other textbooks, and those textbooks before Jingyang Academy is divided into majors can be used. In the future, with the development of the education system, the content of the textbooks before the major will be studied as the teaching content in the compulsory education stage, and then Jingyang Academy will not need these textbooks before the major, and can become a real comprehensive university.

Those professional courses after the division of majors are necessary. There aren't many things that need to be changed. It can also be used directly.

However, the Normal College has more teaching materials than Jingyang Academy, such as pedagogy, psychology, educational psychology, pedagogy and teaching practice.

This is also the reason why students who graduated from Jingyang Academy only need to study for half the time if they go to the Normal College. Because they have already completed the basic courses and professional courses in Jingyang Academy, they only need to complete the normal courses such as education.

Students who are not students from Jingyang Academy need to complete the basic courses, professional courses, and demonstration courses after entering the Normal College, so it takes a long time.

The compilation of textbooks for the normal course is difficult for Xia Hongsheng. In later generations, the university studied Chinese language and literature in the direction of teacher training, so it included the study of teacher training courses. After graduation, I am more familiar with the content of teacher training courses such as pedagogy and educational psychology, teacher norms and teacher ethics. In addition, my experience and experience from teaching for many years are integrated into it. It is not difficult to write a textbook.

Speaking of which, it has been ten years since he traveled to Datang, but Xia Hongsheng still feels that he can't handle his words. And the four wives of their own family are all good at writing. So Xia Hongsheng dictated, and the four women took turns to ghostwrite, and the progress was very fast.

A family of five, a man and four women are recording or laughing in the study, and life is comfortable. Before I knew it, the days passed for a few months, and when spring went to the summer solstice, a long coat was changed into a thin shirt. And there have been several groups of people sent out to post admissions lists in various places.

"Brother Sheng, I haven't seen you move in the past few months, and the big guys have almost forgotten that there is still you." Li Tai shook the pu fan and said to Xia Hongsheng while drinking the ice bean soup.

In fact, he himself hadn't come out of Jingyang Academy for several months, and he only came here suddenly today.

Xia Hongsheng was sorting out a stack of books that had just been printed and sent, and when he heard Li Tai's words, he picked up a few books and shook them at him, and said, "I plan to start signing up during the summer vacation, and the Normal College will officially open after the summer vacation." In the past few months, I have been immersed in compiling textbooks, and it has only been a few days before I can finally compile them. ”

After that, he saw Li Tai sitting on the chair as if he was scattered, and he felt a sense of relief, so he asked with a smile: "It's you, I heard that you haven't been out of the academy for a long time." Suddenly came out today, I'm afraid something good happened? ”

"Everything is on the right track in the scientific research institute, the students recruited by the subordinate railway research institute are very good, and the steam engine improvement and application research institute is personally led by me, and these two are currently the most active and have the most clear goals." Li Tai said: "The main purpose of my coming to you today is to set up another subordinate steamship research institute under the scientific research institute. ”

The Science Research Institute of Jingyang Academy is a hierarchical institution, the highest level is naturally the Science Research Institute, and the lower level is divided into different subordinate research institutes according to the field, which is the secondary research institute. For example, the Steam Engine Improvement and Application Research Institute is a second-level research institute under the scientific research institute that specializes in the field of steam engines, and the Railway Research Institute is a third-level research institute under the Steam Engine Improvement and Application Research Institute because it studies the application of steam engines in railways.

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then stood up excitedly: "Steam engine ship...... Kindness? ”

Li Tai looked proud and nodded: "The trains have all been made, and the general principle is the same, but the wheels on the rails are changed to wheels running in the water." Now that it has been made, the follow-up re-improvement and research and development will be handed over to the Steamship Research Institute to do. We, the Steam Engine Improvement and Application Research Institute, will continue to improve the steam engine and develop new uses for the steam engine. I've found that steam engine changes can be used in almost every industry! ”

"Qingque'er, you are good." Xia Hongsheng gave Li Tai a thumbs up and said, "The first industrial revolution in the Tang Dynasty is about to start in your hands. ”

"The Industrial Revolution?" Li Tai heard the new term and was a little curious.

"Don't worry about the details." Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "You just need to know that you have created a new era in Datang - the steam age!" ”

"However, you are a genius, and your vision must always be more advanced than others, the world, and this era." Xia Hongsheng continued: "I agree, after you go back, you will set up a steamship research institute, and hand over the technology of steamships to the steamship research institute for them to improve." You also came out of the Steam Engine Improvement and Application Research Institute, and then set up two new secondary research institutes under the scientific research institute, one called the Electric Power Research Institute and the other called the Electromagnetic Research Institute, which you personally led. ”

"Electricity!" Li Tai bounced up from the seat and looked at Xia Hongsheng excitedly: "Brother Sheng, when I first talked about physics, there was only a slight mention of electricity in it, and I asked you privately, you said that you can't make a generator now, so you can't talk about it." Could it be ...... now?"

"Not yet." Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "However, I can hand over the principle to you, as for whether you can make it - Qingque, whether you can continue to lead the next new era of electricity depends on your ability." ”

"Master, teach me quickly!" Li Tai's eyes lit up, like a hungry man who hadn't eaten for a long time and suddenly saw a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
