Chapter 744 Visiting the University

For several consecutive days, Fang Zheng and Ali Bai traveled around the capital.

Fang Zhengyi took him to visit the shops everywhere, the attractions of academies everywhere, and even some not-so-important offices in the capital.

Although Alibai was having fun, he was really a little confused.

Fang Zhengyi's impression has changed greatly in his heart without realizing it.

Master Paba said that he was unusual and did not follow the common sense.

That's true... This person is too bright and too open! It seems that he will say whatever he wants in his heart. He will tell you from the bottom of his heart that ordinary people will definitely not have this kind of demeanor.

He was also present when he taught his subordinates a lesson. It was clear that rewards and punishments were made. Whenever an order was issued, it would be accurate and clear, and he would never go around.

Moreover, he was swearing and spitting, and he was extremely angry in the world, and he was a hooligan.

Even in Jin Dynasty, there is basically no such official?

Why did the national teacher make him be careful again and again with such a straightforward personality... Alibai was confused.

However, the ability and influence of Paba's national teacher in the Jin Kingdom are obvious to all. Such people make him guard against Fang Zhengyi, so he will never be aimless.

So Alibai was still afraid and always kept vigilant.

Fang Zhengyi has been quite depressed these days, and he hasn't asked for any useful things in this guy's words.

He was stupid and seemed to have no status in the country and was not valued.

It’s very exciting to talk about novels and country.

This trip he should have come to give gifts.

However, there was still some unusual thing that was keenly captured by Fang Zhengyi, and this kid was guarding against him.

Although I don't know why, it's not a good thing.

If something goes wrong when you go to Jin Kingdom later, you will have to rely on Alibai if you have any unexpected situations.

I have to find a way to develop him into a downline...

On that day, Fang Zhengyi was sorting out the official duties, and Alibai sat honestly beside him.

There was also a stack of official documents next to him. Fang Zheng specially showed him how to relieve his boredom, but nothing important was to do.

It is nothing more than punishing some minor officials and other people.

After a long time, Fang Zhengyi gathered the official documents at hand and put them at the table, raised his head and said, "Second Prince, let's not watch the show today, go to Dongjiao University to see how?"

Ali Bai's heart was shocked.

Dongjiao University... It seems that I have heard of Yizhi in the country, which is a special place.

Moreover, he has also heard that Fang Zhengichi is the president of Dongjiao University in the past few days in Beijing.

This is an extremely important place, and it seems that it is necessary to go and see it in person.

"Okay, everything will be arranged by Lord Fang."

......

Outside the Dongjiao University, Fang Zhengyi and Ali Bai stood side by side.

Alibai looked at the wide school gate and the huge landscape stone at the entrance, and his heart was slightly shocked.

If a school can be opened with such a grand style, this one should be the only one in the world.

"Second Prince, please follow me and I will introduce you one by one." As he spoke, Fang Zhengyi had already walked towards the school.

Alibai followed closely.

The decoration inside the school is exquisite, and it can be said to be a scene at every step.

In addition, the academic style is free and loose, so many students walk around the school and talk to each other, making a relaxed and contented scene.

Fang Zhengyi pointed to the distant landscape and said, "Can the Second Prince know how much money it costs to build this school?"

Ali Bai lowered his head and pondered: "I'm afraid it's not less than tens of thousands of taels."

Fang Zheng shook his head and stretched out his two fingers: "Ten thousand taels? That can't even be half of it, no less than 200,000 taels!"

"Look at the trees over there, they are all rare tree species transported from the south. The craftsmen who built the houses are also craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, and the textbooks in this school..." Fang Zheng said as he knew it, "If this plot was not approved by the royal family. With the support provided by the court, 200,000 taels would be far from enough."

"Not only that, 200,000 is just an early investment, and a series of subsequent expenses will continue to rise."

Ali Bai was shocked. The annual income of the Jin Dynasty was only more than 15 million taels per year, and it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build a school in the capital?

What kind of financial resources is this!

"What do the second prince think?" Fang Zheng asked.

Alibai forced a smile: "It's really amazing, but is it necessary to spend so much money to build a school? What is taught here?"

"It is all-encompassing. It is roughly divided into two subjects of liberal arts and science. This subject is... but it is still practical at the moment. Simply put, it is to cultivate craftsmen. Of course, these are knowledgeable craftsmen. We are also called college students here."

"Craftsman?" Alibai felt a huge doubt in his heart: "From my understanding of your country, the status of craftsmen is probably not that high, right? Isn't it against tradition to train craftsmen with such a big fanfare?"

Fang Zhengyi laughed: "The Second Prince is indeed knowledgeable, good! But the so-called tradition is just a spirit of inheritance, and it doesn't matter how it is displayed. In the future, our college students trained by Dongjiao University can be able to compete with ten cattle and horses by one person, and I wonder how many people will benefit."

"Dajing will also benefit from these cattle and horses. This is the tradition!"

A college student can support ten cattle and horses.

There are so many people in Dajing... How many cattle and horses are there?!

"How can a person compare to ten cows and horses?"

Although Alibai didn't understand it very much, he was shocked.

"Then it naturally depends on learning." Fang Zhengyi answered in ambiguous manner and continued to move forward.

Alibai didn't know what to ask, and followed silently and looked around.

As he walked, Alibai stopped and pointed to the buildings in front of him and asked, "Sir Fang, I see that many houses inside are listed, so what is the purpose of the unlisted one?"

"Oh, considering that new majors will be added in the future, there are many empty houses left for spare."

Fang Zhengyi said, pointing to the building in front of him and said, "Look, this is the medical school that the Beijing Ancestor Association recently invested in. People who are aspiring to study medicine in Beijing will come here to study."

"There are also many of the flowers and plants outside, but many of them are herbs cultivated by students. Let's go in and take a look."

In the medical school, the teacher was leading a group of freshmen to give lectures in a mess, and a group of students were gestured on the pig's skin with a needle tube in their hands.

Alibai said curiously: "Why did you take a needle? Is this practicing acupuncture? What is the tube behind the needle for?"

"No, it's not acupuncture. The tube contains medicine liquid. It's better to directly inject the medicine into the patient's body than to drink it."

"So that's it, it's really brilliant." Ali Bai remembered it silently in his heart and nodded seriously, "I wonder if I can look up?"

"It's just a small matter." Fang Zhengyi said and pushed the door open.

Seeing Fang Zheng coming, everyone immediately stopped the movements in their hands and said hello loudly.

Fang Zhengyi raised his hand gently and said, "Today, the Japanese principal brought guests to visit. What are you learning?"

"Learn to get injections."

"Come on, show it to the distinguished guest." Fang Zhengyi pointed casually and picked a student.

The student stepped out tremblingly and whispered: "Principal Fang, I have just come here and haven't practiced well..."

"What are you afraid of! If you ask you to get a shot, you will get a shot. The distinguished guest wants to see how to get an injection, don't be nervous."

The student picked up the syringe and trembled on the pig's skin for an injection.

Fang Zheng looked tugged and pulled Ali Bai and said, "Let's go, the second prince, and take you to see something else."
