Chapter 1177: Waves Again
Xia Hongsheng has taught Li Tai everything he knows about electricity, and as for how far Li Tai can go, it can only depend on his own creation.
After that, Xia Hongsheng devoted himself to the preparation of the Normal College.
After months of preparation, everything is finally ready, just waiting for the start of school.
It was almost August, and the enrollment of Jingyang Academy Teachers College finally began.
Thanks to the general orders of the imperial court to various places, as well as the shocking treatment, there were many applicants for a while.
The chairs and gentlemen of Jingyang Academy were too busy to get dizzy. It is indeed a very difficult task to vet so many people in a short period of time.
However, the enrollment work was successfully completed and the start of the school year in September was not delayed.
“…… Gentlemen, what is a teacher? A teacher must not only have knowledge and be able to teach, but also lead by example, have good conduct, and be able to educate people. The combination of the two is education. Teach to learn, educate as people. It is necessary not only to teach students knowledge, but also to guide them to develop good conduct and guide them to become qualified people. This places high demands on the teacher. Those who educate others must first have the knowledge they teach, so that they can teach others to know and act. Xia Hongsheng faced the black pressure of the students below, and said: "Our college is a teacher, and the word "normal" refers to the people who go out of this academy, whose knowledge is enough to be a teacher in the world and teach others, and their conduct is enough to be a model in the world and guide others. Please keep this school motto in mind and never forget it in this life - learn to be a teacher and behave in the world! This is called a human teacher. And what is teacher morality? It is a gentleman's heart and a great justice, who regards nothing in the world that is not my heart's love, and nothing that is not my duty. Although the momentum is in the cheapness of the husband, and so Yao Shun and his people, they are not not in my division. Benevolence and love for all things, teaching without class, this is the most basic teacher's virtue, and you should also keep it in mind. - Okay, it's not easy for you to pass the tests. Now to enter the normal college, you must be erudite, interrogative, thoughtful, discerning, and diligent. Fang lived up to the cultivation of the imperial court. Only those who pass the course will be issued a certificate of identity by the imperial court and have the title of teacher. Today, I will leave you to familiarize yourself with the school and its surroundings, and start military training tomorrow. School costumes and school rules and discipline will be issued to you early tomorrow morning. The duration of military training is half a month, and after the military training is over, an examination will be conducted on the school rules and discipline, and those who fail to pass will still be discouraged. Disband! ”
With a wave of Xia Hongsheng's arm, the opening ceremony ended.
The Normal College opened smoothly, and the railway from Chang'an to Luoyang was also in full swing. The first batch of milk powder has been produced and a perfume factory has been built. The bicycle factory is also in the process of selecting a site, and Tianzhu's good news has also been sent back one by one.
Xia Hongsheng's days are plain and leisurely, but they are not boring and empty.
Three or four points of green moss on the pond, one or two yellow orioles at the bottom of the leaves, and the day is long and light.
The day is long and light, so leisurely, so relaxed.
Xia Hongsheng thought that such days would last for a long time, but he never thought that the palace guards suddenly arrived, breaking the quiet life that Xia Hongsheng had longed for for a long time.
The Praetorian Guards didn't know what was going on, but said that the Emperor was very angry and gathered many people, and the atmosphere was very bad.
Xia Hongsheng thought about it all the way, but he couldn't think of anything that deserved the emperor's anger.
Tianzhu has been spreading good news frequently, and the surrounding tribes such as Xue Yantuo, under the planning of Datang, can no longer be self-sufficient, and can only be attached to Datang, and it will not be long before it will become a Tao of Datang.
Li Chengqian did not break his leg, and he did not have a quirk of liking Turkic customs. Li Yuanchang sent the best pseudo-girl Eagle cute girl to her heart, but she was also pushed out several times by Li Chengqian, who was so frightened and panicked, that she "broken" her arms and legs and then sent them back.
Li Tai devoted himself to the study of science and had no intention of competing for the position. In the future, I don't think I will have a short life because of depression.
Li You and Li Yu are all in the academy, and now they are studying hard every day, and they are like two people in the past. The so-called prodigal son does not change his money, and Li Lao Er no longer has to be angry with these sons, but is very pleased.
Although Empress Changsun still has a qi disease, it is not serious under long-term conditioning, and there is no problem in living for another few decades.
Li Lizhen has always insisted on exercising and conditioning, and she is happy with Xia Hongsheng, but her body is getting better day by day.
Everything is thriving, Xia Hongsheng really can't think of anything else that makes Li Shimin so annoyed.
In the Liangyi Palace, Li Shimin's face was pale, and the faces of the bigwigs in the court were gloomy, and there was an illusion that the entire hall was covered with dark clouds and a storm was coming.
"Son-in-law to meet my father-in-law!" Xia Hongsheng saluted after entering.
"Take a look." Li Shimin's voice was extremely slow, and he seemed to have no waves.
Xia Hongsheng knew that the more this happened, the more angry he was.
stepped forward to take the silk cloth from Li Shimin's hand, lowered his head and quickly looked at it, Xia Hongsheng was shocked.
Big Eat!
It turned out to be a big food!
In Xia Hongsheng's prediction, it will take at least ten years before there will be a direct conflict between Datang and Dashi. Originally, Xia Hongsheng planned to carry out a direct conquest of Dashi after at least one railway from the Tang Dynasty to Persia was completed. And this railway from Datang to Persia, Xia Hongsheng is expected to take at least ten years.
But right now, Da Shi has directly declared war with Datang!
The Great Eater Cavalry seized a piece of land near the Persian Gulf. For Persia, it was just an inconsequential piece of land, but for Datang, it was the three ports built by the Tang Dynasty in Persia, along with all the ships that needed to stay in those three ports, directly exposed to Da Shi.
And all the Datang ocean-going ships will stop at those three ports.
The Great Food declared war on the Great Tang, and then attacked the three fortified ports, plundered all the passing sea ships, killed people and robbed ships, and announced to the Western Regions countries that the Great Tang had become a country that would be destroyed by the Great Eclipse, so that the Western Regions countries would break away from the Great Tang and join the Great Eclipse, otherwise they would be trampled to ashes by the Great Eclipse cavalry, which was blessed by Allah.
Xia Hongsheng knew that it was Datang's vigorous development of the navigation industry, as well as the strength of expansion, that advanced this process.
However, there must be a battle between Datang and Dashi, so it is better to take advantage of the current strength and vigor of Datang to fight with it.
In the original history, in several wars between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food, the Tang Dynasty only lost the Battle of Hengros, and the defeat itself was not due to the strength of the Tang Dynasty, but because of the rebellion of the Fan soldiers. With the greed of the great cannibals and the expanding nature of the nomads in the heyday, they did not dare to take advantage of the victory after the battle of Talas, which shows that after this battle, the great cannibals learned the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention today's Datang.
In addition, although the timing of Datang's expedition to Dashi is not yet mature, it is not as impotent as before.
The success of the steam engine ship made it possible for Datang to directly conquer Dashi.
But...... Xia Hongsheng looked at the faces of the ministers around him - I am afraid that in the eyes of the imperial court, it is still difficult for Datang to make a real difference to the big food thousands of miles away.
"What do you think?" Li Shimin asked.
Xia Hongsheng came back to his senses, looked up at Li Shimin, and said, "Slap him!" ”
