Half a day later, the meeting between Zhao Jun and other scholars finally ended.
After returning to the Neishi Mansion, Fusu was a little dazed.
"Sir, the learning method you just described is unheard of, but it is very practical."
Fusu couldn't help but admire along the way.
It was Mengzhi’s first time following them, and he couldn’t digest the knowledge he had learned in the past half day.
But she realized one thing deeply.
That is, Lady Zhao is indeed a genius and a remarkable woman.
Ordinary people probably can't even compare to him.
"Okay, go back and digest what I've said today. I'll be announcing to the world in the next couple of days that university enrollment is about to begin."
"Fusu, you'll be busy later, so let's all go home for now."
"Yes, sir."
Fusu happily returned home with Mengzhi, taking the homework he had just finished.
"Qingliu, let's go back to the palace too."
The two of them quickly boarded the carriage back to the palace.
"I got off work early today, and it's still afternoon."
"Yeah, but what I just said is still very energy-consuming."
The two girls sat in the car and started chatting.
"What are we having for dinner tonight? I wonder if the kitchen has cooked anything delicious."
"I'm not sure yet. I'll go to the kitchen first when I return to the palace."
Qingliu has gotten used to the fact that the first thing he always asks after get off work is what he wants to eat today.
"By the way, what do you think is a good name for this new university? Should we still call it Xianyang University?"
"The Jixia Academy of old was named after him, as were all the elementary schools. However, our first university is very different. If you can think of something else, it's fine. Why not discuss it with the King or the eldest son?"
"That's right, I need to think about it carefully. I'll ask them later."
The carriage slowly drove into the palace, and the sound of the two chatting gradually disappeared.
After returning to the palace, Qingliu went to the kitchen as he had just said and soon after entering the door.
Zhao Jun sat in the yard, leisurely enjoying the bright spring scenery.
After a while, when Qingliu came back with today's menu, he found that there was no one in the yard.
Her heart skipped a beat, and after asking the maid guarding the gate, she learned that the master was going to the Mo family. Only then did she feel relieved.
But, he went to the Mohist School?
Qingliu looked at the menu in his hand. He didn't know when he would be back, so he asked the kitchen to leave some dishes for him.
Zhao Jun, who was lying in the yard, suddenly remembered that she had missed something very important.
How can there be no Mohist school among the Hundred Schools of Thought!
Moreover, Mohism is a very important doctrine that focuses on practice!
She actually forgot to inform them about the university about such a useful theory.
Zhao Jun slapped his head in frustration and immediately stood up and rushed to the Mo family workshop.
She rode the bicycle she had made earlier and stopped at the door of the workshop with a puff of air.
When everyone saw her coming, they immediately came forward to greet her.
"Where's Juzi?"
The craftsmen in the yard were full of energy, and when she asked, they quickly pointed to the workshop at the back.
Oh, and there’s also the matter of the steam locomotive, she patted her head again.
She was so busy with school matters that she forgot everything.
As soon as you enter the door, the huge steam locomotive is still standing there, but with some slight changes.
Juzi was sitting next to me, looking at the blueprints and fiddling with something.
"Big man."
Zhao Jun called out to him from behind.
"Master Zhao, you are here."
Juzi was very excited.
"Sir, the steam locomotive has been improved. Would you like to try it? It's definitely much faster than before, and the demand for coal hasn't increased much."
"And look, I added a carriage to the back as you mentioned before. Come on up and take a look. It can now carry passengers without any problems!"
Juzi excitedly pulled her up and down to show her around, especially letting her sit in the back carriage to experience it.
"What do you think, sir? After my experiments, I found that a steam car can easily tow eight of these carriages, and the speed won't be much slower."
"Sir, how about you sit in the back and I'll have someone start the engine and take it for a spin."
Juzi couldn't stop talking excitedly, so Zhao Jun could only follow him and get on the car silently, watching him walk to the front and start the motorcycle.
The car started quickly without much shaking, and she felt good sitting in the car.
The speed is not slow, but the workshop is too small to fully utilize the space.
After circling around, Juzi stopped the car, calmed down a little, and asked her to get out of the car.
"My Lord, what do you think?"
He touched his head and smiled foolishly.
Zhao Jun looked at the big guy in front of him and felt very excited, and even more proud.
"It's amazing, it's unbelievable, the steam locomotive worked."
With only the blueprints, the Mohist craftsmen were able to create such a big thing in such a backward productivity.
It's really unbelievable, how can we not be proud.
"Master, the Mo family is truly amazing!"
She was generous with her praise and praised him and Mo Jia highly.
Juzi felt a little embarrassed, and the several young Mohist craftsmen who were assisting him also blushed.
Half shyness, half pride.
"Sir, the improvement of the steam locomotive is now basically complete. You said before that you would personally participate in the use and promotion of the locomotive. I wonder what we should do next."
Juzi came back to his senses and turned to ask about the main business.
"So I came here today and have something to tell you. Let's discuss this next time."
Zhao Jun asked him to arrange the steam locomotive, and the two went to the office to talk.
"Sir, what are your instructions? Do you have any new inventions?"
When Juzi heard about it, his first thought was that it was an invention.
"No, no, don't worry, I forgot to tell you about this before."
Zhao Jun waved his hand to let him calm down and quickly explained the opening of the university.
"That's basically the situation. I think the Mohist arts shouldn't be missing from the university curriculum, so I wanted to ask for your opinion. Could you send a few people from the Mohist school to teach the arts?"
"I wonder if the Mohist School has any restrictions on the dissemination of its unique techniques?"
This was something she was a little worried about. After all, some unique skills might only be patented by the Mohist school, and it was hard to say whether they could be taught.
"Sir, although we work in the palace, we also know some news from outside, especially such a big event as the opening of the elementary school."
"As for the university you just mentioned, this is also a great thing. Moreover, so many scholars have been selected. We, the Mohist School, cannot fall behind."
"However, I'm afraid I can't teach. I can ask a few Mohist masters to go. Some skills do have regulations that cannot be passed on to outsiders, but there are also many skills that can be taught."
"Therefore, the establishment of university courses cannot be left out of our Mohist school!"
