Chapter 776 About Talent Allocation at Royal Institute of Technology
There was a gap in the laws of the Ming Dynasty. They directly copied the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty and filled the gap in just one month. This was not theft, but the legacy of the ancestors. The Ming Dynasty itself claimed that the Ming Dynasty inherited the system of the Tang Dynasty.
The Ministry of Rites believes that this kind of copying behavior is: all dynasties have adopted the punishment books of previous dynasties that are suitable for the present, supplemented them, and taken the sparse texts of "Lü Shu" to explain them, and wrote them as regular laws and righteousness.
When it comes to scholars, is it plagiarism? That is the wisdom inherited from our ancestors.
In fact, it was not just the Ming Dynasty that copied Tang laws. When Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin revised the "Song Xingtong", he almost copied the Tang laws. Liao, Jin, Japan, Korea, and Annan all copied them, and the ready-made laws were If you insist on cultivating yourself in front of others, you will end up doing something nondescript and making everyone laugh.
For example, the Yuan Dynasty law "Yuan Dian Zhang" is mainly based on customary law, which makes most people unable to accept this weird law. Yuan Dian Zhang is not adapted to the local environment of the Central Plains, and most people are not particularly convinced. In judicial practice, everyone still Using the old laws, the Yuan Dynasty had only a hundred years of national destiny and ended hastily.
The legislative principle of "Tang Lv Shu Yi" is: morality and etiquette are the foundation of politics and religion, and punishment is the purpose of politics and religion.
That is to say: Morality is the foundation and fundamental standard of law, and law is an effective means to spread morality and ensure the implementation of morality.
Laws are legal provisions, and Shuyi are judicial interpretations.
This is why in the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there are specific provisions regarding the seizure of livestock products and those who accuse false accusations. Because morally, the people are the foundation of the country, so when the laws are formulated, beasts and cannibalism will not be allowed to happen.
The thin dog wants to eat meat. It is a fierce dog, very ferocious, extremely unfriendly to strangers, and has a strong desire to attack. Those who can afford to raise a thin dog are all powerful people, and they are meat eaters.
The main target of livestock hunting is this kind of professional hunting hound. Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been special leather muzzles to prevent small dogs from biting people. Apparently, when Song Shien, the Marquis of Xining, took two small dogs out, they were not tied up. , and did not wear a muzzle, but if he did the same, he would not let the dog hurt others, nor would he look for dignity.
Even though it is very difficult to implement the transfer of livestock products to people, the law still has to make clear provisions.
The word "virtue" is actually very simple, that is, the general consensus.
When there is a conflict between the general consensus and the law, people will generally feel uncomfortable and will question and distrust the law;
If the law cannot be revised in time, or if the general consensus is not followed during the revision of the law, people's doubts and distrust will intensify, and eventually the trust between the people and the court will be broken.
When everyone is applauding the lawbreakers, is the law itself still legal?
The final result is that the country loses its trust and people become suspicious.
History has demonstrated over and over again the consequences of a country losing its faith, but it seems that latecomers always ignore the lessons of history, close their eyes, cover their ears, shake their bodies, and pretend that they are still moving forward.
This is not surprising, there is a poem saying:
When the clothes are hung in the high pavilion and the cauldron is adjusted, the world is pitiful and there are criticisms;
The water that capsizes the boat is the tears of the common people, but you don’t know it until it flows horizontally.
What is more interesting is that the Ming Dynasty did not follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that: foreigners who are of the same kind and who offend each other should follow their own customary laws; That is to say, when barbarians hurt each other, they should follow the laws of their own countries. If foreign countries hurt each other, they should follow the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
However, the laws of the Ming Dynasty stipulate that those who commit crimes committed by foreigners shall be judged according to the law. This means that all barbarians from foreign countries who are active in China shall be judged according to Chinese law, rather than respecting the customs and laws of their own country.
In this regard, the laws of the Ming Dynasty were more overbearing, and the Ming Dynasty did not respect the barbarians even more, because following the customs and laws of the foreign countries to make judgments could easily form the barbarians' substantive judicial privileges. It was simply a one-size-fits-all approach. When operating in the Ming Dynasty, you must abide by the Ming Dynasty. of law.
Zhang Juzheng's memorial to stop the implementation of the one-whip method nationwide is also based on the general consensus that the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is solid, and the country cannot lead the beasts to eat people.
On the premise that the transformation of the commodity economy has not been completed, the emperor forcefully implemented a currency tax for the sake of his own internal funds and the imperial court's national funds. That is, the emperor led the court ministers and local officials to eat people, in order to be powerful. On the right, the rural sages and gentry eat people to protect them.
In this land of the Central Plains, the emperor who leads beasts and cannibals must pay a price, and the price is the country.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng was virtuous and postponed the implementation of the one-whip law, which also greatly reduced the resentment of Ming officials against the new regulations in the examination law.
During the Ming Dynasty, Yao Guangqi, the magistrate of Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, tinkered with the laws of the Ming Dynasty to make up for the period when livestock products were transferred to people. He wrote a memorial with many contents, one of which was that he doubted whether gold could be made from salt.
Trading salt for gold sounds a bit bizarre.
"What are you talking about? Can you make money from salt? Who is not the dominant one, the private salt dealer Huang Chao or the private salt dealer Zhang Shicheng? Of course you can make money, and you can make gold." Zhu Yijun pointed to Yao Guangqi's memorial and said with certainty : "Even the salt that Yao Guangqi regards as coarse salt and cannot be sold is considered refined salt in Taixi!"
"Why did Legaz return to the Ming Dynasty from Madrid? After staying in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, he couldn't live in Thailand at all."
"Of course salt can make money!"
Beginning in 1600, with the approval of Queen Elizabeth I of England, the British East India Company had an indefinite royal charter and began tentative colonization of India. The entire colonial expedition lasted 117 years. In 1717, the British East India Company Only then did he defeat the Mughal emperor and gain tax-free power.
At this point, England officially began to colonize India.
For 213 years starting from the British East India Company until 1930, India had a complete salt monopoly, which forcibly prohibited Indians from mining and freely trading salt. The colonial governors used salt to control India's finances, taxes and people.
You can make money by using salt. If you have high morals, you will make less; if you have low morals, you will make more; if you have no morals, you will make more.
Gandhi, the leader of the non-violent non-cooperation movement, started the Salt March against the salt monopoly in 1930. He would rather dry the sea water than buy salt from the Liverpool Company. After the non-violent non-cooperation movement continued for 17 years, India Finally gained independence.
The British were such a troublemaker. Before leaving, they gave India a severe blow. The partition of India and Pakistan gave India a heart-rending nail.
Salt, both at home and abroad, is closely related to wealth, war, and power.
Yao Guangqi's doubts are normal, because in his opinion, the graded salt pond plate drying method is simple in technology, has good salt quality and high output. It will be promoted from Haifeng No. 3 Salt Field to the entire Shandong, and then from Shandong to the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty in just a few years. , the production of salt will completely meet the needs of Ming Dynasty.
In his opinion, this simple technology will inevitably spread to the outside world. When the Thai colonies produce salt in this way, salt production will rise to a state of absolutely sufficient overcapacity.
By then, salt, as a universal commodity, no longer has the conditions for monopoly operation. With such a large-scale output, how can salt be sold at a higher price? Where can we take on the important task of collecting and storing gold?
Yao Guangqi fell into the typical thinking of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty can do it, and the barbarians can do it too. Many things have repeatedly proved that the barbarians really can't do things that the Ming Dynasty can easily do.
In the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats, the technology of drying salt is relatively simple. Isn't it just three ponds, a shack, a pile of boards, and a group of obedient salt cookers? But it is really difficult to achieve. The three ponds do not need to be poured with cement. They have to be rebuilt when it rains. Moreover, cleaning the sedimentation tank every day is also a big deal.
As for a group of obedient salt-and-stove households, that is even more desirable.
In Tongzhen, Luzon, the Ming Dynasty would rather use the more expensive Ming people than recruit local Yi people extensively, because these Yi people are really lazy and do not work.
The Thai and Spanish colonists were not interested in building colonies. The colonists did not care whether the indigenous people could eat salt. The colonists only cared about whether they could receive taxes.
Even in the future, there will only be Ming Dynasty, which can produce fine salt in large quantities.
In the Age of Discovery, commodities such as silver, spices, cotton, salt, saltpeter, etc. were the economic pillars of the empire on which the sun never set. Whoever controlled these commodities would be the empire on which the sun never set.
The bonus of salt can really be enjoyed by Ming Dynasty for a long, long time.
There really was a place that had to compete with the Ming Dynasty in industry. The Ming Dynasty had so many ships, so many cannons, naval guns with such large calibers, and loaded with so much gunpowder, they came in handy. There were three ponds, shacks, and drying boards. The technology was exclusive to the Ming Dynasty. Without the Ming Emperor’s franchise license, would you dare to build a salt farm?
This is no longer an ordinary rebel, he must hit hard, and he will win them all! Just continue to maintain hegemony.
This is the answer given by Zhu Yijun. He wants to earn this money. If anyone doesn't let him earn it, he will use artillery to send the other party to the sky.
Zhu Yijun made it very clear to the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp and the navy soldiers that they could receive twenty silver in food and salary a year, and that was all owned by the Ming Dynasty court and only they had it.
Yao Guangqi's memorial mainly discusses the current New Deal line of the Ming Dynasty, which is a reform movement based on changing production relations. The abolition of slave status and the redistribution of production means are the main means of changing production relations.
Zhejiang is returning farmland, Songjiang Prefecture is also returning farmland, and Yao Guangqi has completed the return of farmland in Shanghai County. The city and its attached public land in Shanghai County have used various means to force rent reduction, cash redemption and ship diversion. The land was restored through friendly methods such as exchange, etc. Of course, in this process, less friendly methods such as tax collection, house confiscation, and exile also occurred.
In Shanghai County, the landowners with more than fifty hectares of cultivated land have disappeared in name.
The land return order implemented in Zhejiang is one hundred hectares as the standard, while Songjiang Prefecture has been more radical from the beginning, and the standard is fifty hectares.
Now Yao Guangqi wants to lower the standard for Shanghai County's land return order to twenty hectares. The ultimate goal is to further reduce it to one hectare within ten years, which is the upper limit for a family to hold ten acres of land.
"Isn't he a bit too radical?" Zhu Yijun felt that Yao Guangqi's standards were a bit eager to achieve success. There are only 130 million people in the Ming Dynasty. One household, not each person, can only have ten acres of land. It is absolutely impossible. Feed a family.
Feng Bao said very solemnly: "Your Majesty, Songjiang Prefecture is different from other places. The transportation volume of the Yangtze River is almost eight times that of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal."
Before the Ming Dynasty Caoliang Shipping, the annual transport capacity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was only 210 million kilograms (about 1.08 million tons). After the Caoliang Shipping, the transportation capacity was finally completely released. After all, the water transport ship took four months, which was too wasteful. It's time.
Caograin shipping released the transportation capacity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. In more than ten years, the transportation capacity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal began to grow rapidly.
In the year-end audit of the 14th year of Wanli, the transport capacity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was increased to 600 million kilograms, basically realizing the strategy of transporting coal from the north to the south, diverting goods from the south to the north, and transporting coal from the south to the north. The convection of coal and silver has completed a virtuous cycle.
The broken fiscal and taxation system of the Ming Dynasty caused most of the tax revenue from the customs along the way to stay in the local area. In order to spend these taxes in various reasonable names, the canal was widened, dredged, and the roads repaired, which became the place along the way. The best place for the yamen to spend money is to do so, both superiors and subordinates can make a difference.
Various local governments have steadily increased the transport capacity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in response to the widening and maintenance of the waterway.
For the local yamen along the way, the stability and smoothness of the river are taxes, and taxes are rights. The yamen have focused on rectifying various gangs along the canal, public security has become stable, and a very dazzling economic belt has gradually formed along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
In the 14th year of Wanli's reign, the transport capacity of the entire Yangtze River basin was eight times that of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, reaching 4.8 billion kilograms. This was despite the fact that local currency customs concealed information and made it easy for their cronies to pass through. There was a lot of concealment. .
Nearly half of the 4.8 billion kilograms of goods flowed to Songjiang Prefecture. If Beiya was the brain of the Ming Dynasty and the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was the main artery, then the Yangtze River Basin headed by Songjiang Prefecture was the heart of the Ming Dynasty's economy.
Feng Bao took out his heavy memo, flipped through it for a long time, and then said: "Yao Zhixian is really not radical anymore. Students from Songjiang Maritime School went on an outing to Lucheng, Kunshan County some time ago. I don't know who started it." , chatting During the conversation, we talked about the corruption of the court, the incompetence of the ministers, and the local officials who only care about their own official positions and do not care about the lives of the people. "A group of students began to go to the countryside."
"What are they doing? Let me take a look." Zhu Yijun was full of doubts and reached out to take Feng Bao's memo.
Feng Bao said helplessly: "These students must lead the people to fight in the fields!"
"Ah? You are really brave." Zhu Yijun blinked and read for a long time before understanding the full story from the memo.
Shanghai County Magistrate Yao Guangqi, Qingpu County Magistrate Xu Bingzheng, and Songjiang Governor Shen Shixing are really very conservative. Songjiang Prefecture's land return order is more than fifty hectares. However, these students of the Maritime Academy are extreme radicals and believe that the corpses of these officials will be left without food. The students chose to lead the people to practice Gesuotian!
Fortunately, the governor of Taicang Prefecture in Suzhou responded promptly and sent these people back to the Maritime Academy before they caused a big disaster. This prevented huge turmoil. Songjiang and Shanghai Maritime Academy immediately suspended the annual Kunshan Lucheng Lotus row.
This was originally an exchange meeting between Maritime School students and Suzhou students, but it was canceled immediately.
Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture both reported this matter, and they both said it vaguely. It probably meant that the student was young and frivolous, too wanton, and there was no excessive harsh punishment.
However, these students show a very obvious tendency of the Shao Zhuang sect. Young people who are young, strong, energetic, and still firmly believe in the beautiful order of the world are the Shao Zhuang sect. Another characteristic of the Shao Zhuang sect is that they have a kind of impatience that does not follow the times. .
Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty was a young man.
"Actually, I'm mainly worried about doubling the execution." Zhu Yijun didn't hide it. More than 20 hectares of land needed to be returned, and when it finally reached one hectare, it looked particularly like he was doubling the execution. He was loyal to the emperor and the country on the surface, but doubled the execution behind the scenes. Intensify conflicts and oppositional emotions to achieve the purpose of opposing government orders.

Yao Guangqi, the noble son of Yushu Linfeng, now has a scary scar on his face. It was left by Yao Guangqi fighting against the pirates for the common people's kelp. It was indeed an impulse. He has regretted it before, but if he does it again, I'm afraid he will still do it. Do that.
At that time, Yao Guangqi was a farmer, just growing kelp in the sea. He would naturally fight to the death against anyone who robbed him of his food.
His Majesty's vigilance towards Yao Guangqi is somewhat unkind.
Feng Bao reflected for a moment and concluded that perhaps he had given too many eye drops to the civil servants on weekdays, which made His Majesty so vigilant. After reflection, Feng Bao planned to continue his efforts.
On February 2, the 15th year of Wanli, the dragon raised its head, spring thunder roared, and a drizzle began to fall in the capital under the gusts of north wind. The entire capital was swept away from the spring haze, and the air became a bit fresher. Four million Dingkou live near the capital. The soot from heating in winter will shroud the entire capital of the Ming Dynasty in a choking turbidity.
After the court meeting, Zhu Yijun did not let the cabinet ministers dissolve. Instead, he took the ministers to Beitucheng. The construction of the third phase of the Royal Institute of Technology of Ming Dynasty had been completed. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was going to attend the unveiling. Going to Beitucheng, Zhu Yijun The train was on a small train and the speed was not very fast. Zhao Mengyou led three iron horses to clear the road ahead to eliminate hidden dangers.
Dozens of small trains passed Deshengmen one after another with the sound of whistles. Zhu Yijun got off at Beitucheng Station and looked towards the Polytechnic Institute to the east.
"Wang Cifu is great. I gave this job to Cifu, and it turned out to be correct." Zhu Yijun led a group of people to the gate of the Polytechnic, which was the first high-standard polytechnic in the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Chonggu quickly bowed his head and said: "That's because your Majesty gave you too much money."
The emperor himself fully invested in the entire third phase of the project. The third phase of the project took four and a half years to complete. A total of 3.6 million silver was allocated from internal funds to prepare for the construction. In December of the 14th year of Wanli, the Ministry of Industry completed the acceptance inspection. On the 16th day of the first lunar month School officially started on the second day of February. It was finally tidied up and the emperor came to inspect and accept it.
There are 3.6 million silver, and there are still 100,000 silver remaining for the six imperial tombs of the former emperors, and the entire campus covers an area of 2,100 acres, which is equivalent to the size of two imperial palaces.
The Royal Institute of Technology has two subjects: the basic and the secondary. The basic is a compulsory course. The required content is Confucian classics, Neo-Confucianism, historical anecdotes, various schools of thought, arithmetic, inquiry, and geography. The secondary is an elective course, including medicine, Arithmetic, agriculture, mining and surveying, surveying and mapping, engineering, business, machinery manufacturing, general affairs, astronomy, etc., that is, seven subjects and thirty-five subjects.
Every student in school must pass one of the minor subjects in addition to the compulsory subjects.
The sacrificial wine of the Royal Institute of Technology was originally Wan Shihe. After Wan Shihe became an official, the sacrificial wine was changed to Shen Li.
There are two chief teachers under the Jijiu, who are in charge of compulsory and elective courses. The whole school has 180 schools, the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion, and the Yilun Hall are dedicated to the emperor’s lectures. The ceremony was presided over by the priest, and the ceremony was also held here. There were more than 2,000 school buildings, and more than 400 miscellaneous buildings such as water rooms and canteens.
"A total of more than 9,000 students have been recruited, and an additional 2,500 are recruited every year." Shen Li bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, 2,500 students seem to be a lot, but divided into 35 subjects, it is It has become extremely rare and was taken away before leaving school.”
"Your Majesty, the yamen can't compete with the Minfang. In September last year, the first batch of students graduated from the school. They went to the yamen to take classes and were exempted from 60 silver student loans. However, the annual salary provided by the Minfang to the students exceeded 30 silver. .”
The plaque of the Royal Institute of Technology is written by the emperor himself, and there is also a lying stone at the entrance, which reads: Nothing can be understood until it is effective, and theory cannot be determined until there is evidence.
Standing in front of the sleeping stone, Shen Li reported on the situation of the students. There seemed to be a lot of university halls of the same size as the Imperial College, but they were far from enough.
The Royal Institute of Technology graduated 1,400 students last year, and there were only less than 400 students who stayed at the school to study at the Institute of Physics. The rest were all snatched up by private schools. Among them, the imperial court only retained accounting students. Ten people, and the remaining seventy people, all went to work as accountants in private houses, merchant gangs, and commercial banks. As accountants, the annual salary started at twenty-four silver.
The problem of talent shortage is very serious.
During the court meeting this morning, the Ministry of Husbandry banged the table in the Wenhua Palace and questioned the Ministry of Etiquette. They had agreed on twenty auditors to be the auditors of the abacus, but the Ministry of Etiquette only gave three people.
The year-end audit of the Ministry of Accounts has the biggest talent gap. At least 200 people are missing to complete the audit accounts on time. The Polytechnic has finally trained so many accountants, but all of them have gone to the private sector. You can imagine the anger of the Ministry of Accounts.
The Ministry of Accounts originally planned to spend fifteen years to create an audit team of more than 500 people to calculate Ming Dynasty's accounts clearly.
"Does Your Majesty want to force the proportion to stay?" Shen Li said in a low voice.
Before the emperor even entered the door, the Ministry of Rites gave him a big problem. After learning martial arts, he could go to the imperial family. However, due to salary issues, many students chose to go private and set up the Royal Institute of Technology to solve the shortage of talents in the court. Done effectively.
Shen Li's meaning is very clear. He wants to promote loyalty education at the Royal Institute of Technology. After the imperial court has selected candidates, the people will be allowed to choose.
"If there aren't enough people, just build more schools and force them to stay. It's not necessary." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "You can't force this kind of thing."
The result of forcing is that they are dissatisfied and willing to leave. Zhu Yijun can only wish them a bright future. This is a supply and demand problem, and solving the problem from the supply side is the fundamental way.
Forcibly stipulating proportions has divided people's hearts and lost the original intention of the Royal Institute of Technology.
"The Polytechnic Institute has been repaired, but it still costs 200,000 silver a year, of which 60,000 silver is the student's tuition fee." Shen Li reminded His Majesty that if he does not force a proportion of people to stay in the court, the final result will be that the emperor spends He spent a lot of money to build it, spent two hundred thousand silver to maintain it every year, and made wedding dresses for others.
Your Majesty, who has always been engaged in profitable business, will lose money in this matter, and he will pay for losing his wife, losing his troops, and losing money for a big defeat.
Tuition fees are students' living and academic subsidies. They come from direct allocations from internal funds. Each student is six silver dollars a year. The subsidy is used by students to eat, drink and live. Six silver coins is already a lot. It can buy twelve shi of rice, which is one Eighteen hundred kilograms of rice, even a big eater can't finish it.
The main use of this money is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, which are extremely expensive.
"This school, education, is indeed a money-losing thing from a financial point of view, and the more you build, the more you lose, but the talents cultivated made great progress in all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty. This That’s enough.”
"Besides, didn't the Mughal Kingdom send foreign students?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "They can fill the holes."
It is impossible to lose money. We can only learn from England's great deficiencies and fill the shortfall of Ming's higher education institutions by squeezing international students.
As for the shortfall in basic education, it cannot be solved by squeezing international students. Basic education is a public investment, and it is a national policy that must be paid even if it loses money.
"Then it would be better to cancel the tuition fees and replace them with incentives." Wang Guoguang immediately added.
The emperor eats the emperor's food, drinks the emperor's food, and even the study place was built with the emperor's own money. He accepted the emperor's kindness and was not grateful, but rushed to get a high salary.
It would be better to put the subsidies given by the emperor into the annual salary of the official office, so as to encourage students to stay in office.
"Da Situ, you can't calculate the education debt like this. You can give extra incentives. Why do you want to cut off these tuition fees? How can a student from a poor coolie background finish these four years of study?" Zhu Yijun stood in front of the lying stone, still unwilling to change. idea.
Students studying science and engineering came from a poor family and did not have much money to spare. Four years of study required 120 silver. Even though the emperor provided an interest-free student loan of 60 silver, 60 silver was not enough for him. Students from poor families, or even those with mud-legged backgrounds, still face a huge burden.
Zhu Yijun also saw this situation, so he gave each student six silver dollars every year so that they could study hard and not be trapped by life.
Zhang Juzheng took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty is wealthy, as is known to the whole world. To Your Majesty, 60,000 silver is nothing, but in this battle between kindness and enmity, it is not a good thing to give too much. Your Majesty's kindness , it is easy to be taken for granted. If you are willing to serve His Majesty, you should give more.”
"Everyone receives tuition. It seems fair and fair, but in fact it is very unfair and unfair to students who are willing to serve the country."
"What you said makes sense, so let's follow the advice of the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "If you are willing to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, you should indeed give more points."
Zhu Yijun approved Zhang Juzheng's proposal. The emperor's kindness was not over yet, so the students had to know that it was the emperor's kindness.
The specifics are also very simple. When enrolling, you are asked if you are willing to serve the imperial court. If you are willing, you will have a tuition fee. After receiving the tuition money, you have to serve the imperial court for five years before you can decide your whereabouts.
There were many courtiers who accompanied the emperor to visit the Royal Institute of Technology. They were all talking in low voices. I don't know what happened before. The emperor and the ministers were discussing something in front of the institute, but it seemed that they finally convinced His Majesty.
Zhu Yijun walked into the Royal Institute of Technology. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a large square with a sutra collection building, and on the left hand side there was a government office bell and drum tower responsible for telling the time.
On the right side of the Tibetan Scripture Building is the Qingze Garden, a compulsory teaching building for the Ming Dynasty.
"Is this the Chonggu Building in folklore?" Zhu Yijun walked across the square on the bluestone pavement, stood in front of Qingze Garden, carefully looked at this Chinese-style concrete structure building, and asked with a smile.
"I am ashamed." Wang Chonggu quickly bowed his head and said.
All the teaching buildings at the Royal Institute of Technology were designed by him. It is a zigzag building, mainly for the lighting of all schools. It has five floors in total. Wang Chonggu named it Chengxian Building, which is the design draft of the teaching building. All Teaching buildings can be added or removed here, but it is generally called Chonggu Building among the people.
