Chapter 131 The Wind Blows the Frontier
Time flies, but only two years have passed. At the end of the same seventh month of the lunar calendar, Jinghuayuan started school again, and Princess Zhiling, Cui Xiaoyue and Xia Qinglian were promoted from second grade to fourth grade.
But Fu Xuechen has graduated and has been hired from a student to stay in school. He has become a new teacher and will soon take on the teaching task of the freshman's first-grade class. This is the result of Princess Zhiling's efforts to invite her.
Now that she is almost fifteen years old, she is becoming more and more graceful. According to Xie's idea, she can almost start looking at her. If it weren't for the princess' invitation, Xie would not have planned to allow Fu Xuechen to continue to go to and from the girls' school. She just wanted her to stay at home and wait for her to get married peacefully.
Fortunately, there is a difference between finding a suitable family for girls in this era. Even if they find it, they may not get married immediately. Fu Xuechen said all the good things to Xie, and then he nodded, allowing her to stay in Jinghua Garden as a teacher and do what she likes before she officially gets married.
Like Fu Rushuang had already made a marriage last year. What surprised the other party was not after the martial arts and the literati child from a noble family, but Lin Jiashu, the Tanhualang who was in the imperial examination back then. His father was just an imperial physician in the dynasty and his family was mediocre. However, Lin Jiashu, relying on his study skills, went all the way to the palace examination and became Tanhualang at a young age.
Unfortunately, just after getting engaged with Fu Rushuang, Lin Jiashu's mother, who had been lingering in sick for many years, could not hold on and passed away. Lin Jiashu had to worry for three years, so the marriage had to be delayed and had to wait for the next year to discuss the wedding date. Fu Rushuang was almost nineteen.
Fu Xuechen felt that if she was lucky and could delay like Fu Rushuang, she would not have a chance to not get married at the age of 20. She really did not agree with girls getting engaged so early. She still wanted to focus on girls' schools and take advantage of the opportunity she had become a teacher in the past few years to cultivate a group of scientist seeds for the future.
In the past two years, through her hard work, the atmosphere of girls' schools has become similar to that of girls' schools in the later Republic of China. The student union has been successfully established, and several interest associations have been established under its jurisdiction, such as literary societies, concerts, chess clubs, etc. Even Fu Xuechen took the opportunity to build a scientific societies, specializing in members who are interested in mathematics or physical and chemical phenomena.
In addition, there is a journal that not only publishes some gossip news on campus and outside the school, but also publishes excellent poetry and essays submitted by students. Under the conscious guidance of Fu Xuechen, it also publishes some in-depth discussion papers, such as simple solutions to some mathematical problems, understanding of the study of things and the secret recipe for making ice with saltpeter, etc.
Even though Jinghua Garden is like an ivory tower, it seems like a completely different world inside and outside, like the Republic of China, and outside the garden is still ancient, but in the past two years, the publications of the Girls' School Student Union were sold to interested scholars through the Panlong Bookstore under Fu Xuechen's name, and have quietly spread the advanced ideas and technologies in it.
More and more male scholars are happy to buy this publication whose entire article is written by women. Various science knowledge and theoretical discussions published in previous publications have aroused a warm reaction from the outside world within a certain range.
There are even many academies, schools, including IUC, which imitate girls' schools, set up their own student unions, and try to run their own publications. Thanks to the popularization of ink printing, such publications are not expensive to run, which has led to a wide variety of publications on the market, presenting a scene of cultural prosperity.
Through the publication, a large number of girls such as Fu Xuechen even had a great reputation in the outside world. However, at the beginning, Fu Xuechen asked girls to submit only by their pen names. Therefore, even if the authors of certain texts in the publication were famous, few people knew which noble girls were corresponding to those pen names.
But Fu Xuechen knew that the pseudonyms were all temporary. In the next few years, when the foundation of science was laid and recognized by society, the later generations can definitely trace back to the true identities of the first few outstanding female founders of science, and return the glory they deserve to, so that their true surnames and names will remain in the history of science forever.
Although the girls are not old, the oldest one is about the same age as those of later high school girls, it is enough to learn some basic scientific knowledge!
In the scientific society led by Fu Xuechen, there are already several members who are smart and interested in scientific knowledge. With the help of Fu Xuechen, they have successively created simple machine design drawings such as windmills or water wheel mills, hydraulic spinning machines, and looms, and sold them through Si Yeyunzuo, and obtained corresponding manufacturing shares, with monthly or annual dividends.
Fu Xuechen also contributed cement formulas and asphalt road construction methods in the past two years, and also built primary storage batteries and generators. Although the power is not high, combined with glass and metal wire, electric lights appeared in the laboratory. Unfortunately, the cost is high and it cannot be popularized. It can only be used as a rare object, which makes the people you see it amazing.
Fu Xuechen also improved the small blast furnace steelmaking method based on the ancient methods of steel speculation and steel filling, and was presented to Emperor Yuan'an by Yoongzuo as a treasure. It became a key industry for the empire to build fine steel weapons. It was only allowed to be mastered by the court and not allowed to flow into the people.
But Fu Xuechen didn't care much about it. For example, non-weapon civilian products such as steel ball bearings and spokes were purchased and customized from the craftsman workshop under the Ministry of Industry through the relationship of Yoon Zuo. It was not difficult to get it. Therefore, the shock absorption system of the carriage was improved, and some transportation tools that were convenient for walking in the mountains, such as wheelbarrows, bicycles, etc. were also built.
As recently as the asphalt roads using Dongchuan natural asphalt mines have also appeared under the intentional guidance of Fu Xuechen. Cement was used for repairing and strengthening the city walls, and even the construction of embankments and water conservancy has also used for newly prepared special cement. Many cheap buildings with cement bricks and tiles have appeared one after another, quietly changing the folk environment.
Many old scholars are full of fear of these changes. If these things that they regard as strange and lewd skills come from traditional Confucian scholars, they will definitely launch a huge public opinion and scold those who are not doing their jobs.
However, these "toys" were all created by girls because of "idle and bored". They are all noble girls and do not take the imperial examination. As long as they are not married yet and are still studying in the boudoir, what they want to do and play in their spare time, as long as it is not harmful to the sky, others can't control them, and they can't control them!
What's more, the girls published in Jinghuayuan publication also had mathematical discussions on serial properties. They systematically proposed many theorem formula concepts, as well as many examples of arithmetic application, including arithmetic abacus formulas that integrate the great abacus, as well as a new abacus design drawing with a liquidator, etc.
Even the advanced knowledge of mathematics and respected age cannot deny the outstanding contributions of girls. Many men who are obsessed with studying mathematics even regard the girls who published this series of manuscripts in the publication as geniuses of mathematics and admire them to the point of being promiscuous, but regretting that they are squandered.
A leaf in Xiaoxiang, a long journey of knowledge, a heart of admiration, reeds, clouds, and summer is slightly cool...
The pseudonyms of many girls have come into the hearts of many people, accompanied by their arithmetic theories that shock the world, or their highly practical object designs, excellent poetry, thought-provoking philosophical thinking, or amazing new discoveries. They have become famous in the world without themselves knowing it.
Among these excellent girls, there is a girl with the pseudonym "Reverse Traveler" who is particularly prominent. Among the many girls, she stands out and stars stands for the moon. She has published the most articles, almost all of which are new knowledge that can refresh the world's cognition, and involves all aspects, from shallow to deep, vaguely forming a system.
Only a few people know that the traveler in opposition is Fu Xuechen's pseudonym, and no one knows that the origin of the pseudonym of Fu Xuechen: Heaven and earth are the traveler in opposition to all things; time is the passerby in a hundred generations...
She used this pseudonym to be a traveler who traveled back to the past time and space. I wonder if anyone could guess her identity as a time traveler through her pseudonym. Unfortunately, there was no Li Bai in this time and space, and there was no such related words and sentences as Li Bai wrote, so how do future generations guess?
Entering the new first-grade class, after teachers and students greeted each other, Fu Xuechen looked at the number of students in front of him who increased to more than 40 people, and more than a dozen people in the back seat of the classroom dressed in poor and simple clothes, but looked extremely serious and full of curiosity, and the orphan students from Yangjiyuan who were free from tuition, smiled comfortably.
"My surname is Fu, and my full name is Fu Xuechen. From today on, I will be your arithmetic master!" Fu Xuechen introduced in a crisp voice, turned around and wrote down his name on the blackboard.
In fact, since last year, Jinghuayuan has established aid relations with the Yangjiyuan at the initiative of Princess Zhiling, allowing girls of the age there to study for free in Jinghuayuan, and even provide a lunch. More than a dozen girls who were included in the first place have successfully passed the assessment this year and have been promoted to the second grade. This is the second batch.
Compared with noble girls who grew up in wealthy nests, the orphans obviously know how to cherish the hard-earned study opportunity in front of them. They work harder and harder. They all know that if they can seize this opportunity to learn and read, even if they are not smart and beautiful enough, they can at least be able to rely on the knowledge they have learned to be the headmaster of wealthy people's families!
However, Fu Xuechen's expectations for them are not only those of the rich and powerful women, but also hope that they can all become seeds of female teachers. When girls' schools will be popularized all over the world in the future, they will be scattered like a spark, spreading the seeds of science for her, and lighting up the field of science for this time and space.
The various factories in Yoonzuo will gradually increase until they are spread all over his fiefdoms in the future. The factories need workers, and the cultivation of workers requires the indoctrination of scientific knowledge. Then these women who have mastered scientific knowledge in a young age can teach their husbands and children what they have learned in the future.
When the momentum of science is unstoppable, even the Confucianism, which has been passed down for thousands of years, will have to adapt to the historical trend and make changes. All these changes originated from such a beautiful garden girls' school.
Fu Xuechen hopes that Jinghuayuan can also be passed down into a century-old prestigious school in the future, becoming a mixed university, education, school, and scientific knowledge. This is the gift she is a time traveler who wants to leave to this time and space the most!
After the teaching in the morning, Fu Xuechen went to the second floor of the book building where the gentlemen were located. The second floor was equipped with a temporary resting place for gentlemen. Whoever belonged to them would come in and rested. The single room was quite comfortable, with a soft couch, a desk, a chair, a study room, and a tool for making tea. The maids around the gentlemen were also allowed to come in and wait for the service.
If gentlemen in charge of teaching in the same grade need to meet and discuss something, there is another conference room, and each conference room is equipped with one for gentlemen to use for business.
When Fu Xuechen came in, Furong was carrying the food box to arrange dishes, bowls and chopsticks in the house. They were all fresh rice dishes that had just been cooked from the kitchen, and they were all selected soups and dishes that Fu Xuechen liked.
"It's still much more comfortable to be a sir!" Fu Xuechen couldn't help but sigh.
When you are a student, no matter how noble your background is, even a princess cannot bring your personal maid to the campus. Everyone needs to do it themselves, go to the school cafeteria to get food and eat, and then go back to the dormitory to rest.
It’s different to be a teacher. Furong can enter the campus. Wherever Fu Xuechen goes, she will go with her. Wherever Fu Xuechen teaches in, she can wait in the second floor rest room corresponding to the classroom. She doesn’t have to wait for school at noon, so she can go to the kitchen in advance, prepare food for her master, and bring it over with her own portion.
You don’t have to do it yourself. When you are full, you can rest on the soft couch, drink tea, and enjoy the maid’s massage. How can you feel uncomfortable?
What's even better is that in the past two years, Jinghuayuan has retained three or five graduates who are as outstanding as Fu Xuechen as teachers at their alma mater.
This means that when there are teachers in the twelve classrooms teaching, there are always three or five teachers who have no classes who can rest in their spare time, but the monthly tuition does not decrease.
If a teacher has something to do at home and the right rest, he can even take two or three days off without taking leave. He no longer needs to take leave, and he can't miss every class like a student. Such a combination of work and rest work intensity is really scientific?
Fu Xuechen thought that it would be great if the female gentlemen would not have to quit their jobs and go home to get married in five years, but would choose to hold a teaching position all the time! She would be willing to be a gentleman for a few more years until she wanted to rest.
While eating and thinking, Furong told her a message: "Miss! I just went to the kitchen to serve food, and I heard the servants there say that something big happened outside!"
Fu Xuechen paused with chopsticks and wondered: "What's the big deal?"
Furong shook her head: "I don't know! I only heard that a cavalryman came from the border and rushed to the 800 miles."
Fu Xuechen's heart twitched slightly, and a little haze appeared in the originally peaceful and peaceful emotions. She was used to the peaceful scenery of the future generations until now that she suddenly realized that this era was different! Before the process of civilization developed into nuclear weapons, the theme tones of the human world were always war and survival.
