Chapter 476 Is it because you're afraid of being tricked by me?
"This is the Dengzhou University that I envisioned."
"It covers an area of 8,848 mu."
"Several different colleges were established."
"The original Terengganu Geological Exploration College and Terengganu Medical College will be merged into Terengganu University."
"The medical school will also be divided into medicine and pharmacy."
"Those officials from the Ministry of Works, those from the Ministry of Works in Ningyang County, and those craftsmen from Dengzhou Prefecture will be crammed into different disciplines in universities."
"For example, those blacksmiths from the Ningyang County Ironworks would be placed into the metallurgical discipline."
"..."
The next morning, Yang Shaofeng took Emperor Zhu, Empress Ma, and others to the construction site.
Then, they frantically made empty promises to Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma.
"Once this university is built, it will be able to train 10,000 to 20,000 people in related majors every year."
"The medical school alone can train at least one or two thousand professional doctors every year."
"There's also metallurgy."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that there are hardly any people in the metallurgy major now, and there aren't even any teachers or textbooks."
"But once the metallurgy major is established, the production and quality of steel in the Ming Dynasty will increase by leaps and bounds because of this college."
"Of course, due to reasons such as enrollment and curriculum design, the first batch of students will not graduate for another three to five years."
Three to five years?
The cakes smelled so good that Emperor Zhu felt he could wait for thirteen or fifteen years, let alone three or five.
But, how could Emperor Zhu not know what kind of person his son-in-law was?
Emperor Zhu glanced at Yang Shaofeng and said, "Speak, what other conditions do you have? Say them all now."
However, to Emperor Zhu's surprise, Yang Shaofeng shook his head directly: "Aside from the inscription that my father-in-law has already agreed to, and the Crown Prince being appointed as the chief priest, I have no other requests."
Emperor Zhu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Yang Shaofeng, asking, "That's all?"
Yang Shaofeng nodded in confirmation: "That's all."
Emperor Zhu immediately became wary.
What does an academy covering more than 8,000 acres mean?
This means that a large number of people, bricks, and timber will be needed.
Given this scoundrel's consistent nature, perhaps all the windows in this academy will have to be made of glass.
Once this academy is built, it will take an unknown amount of manpower and resources.
but.
Compared to the prospects depicted by this scoundrel, the manpower and resources spent are clearly insignificant.
The mental effort required is the most terrifying aspect.
Then the problem is coming.
This bastard went to so much trouble to build a university, yet he says he has no other requirements.
Has this bastard changed his ways today?
Did I take the wrong medicine?
Or have they already dug other pits for us to fall into?
However, Yang Shaofeng shook his head again to confirm: "There really aren't any other requirements."
Want money?
Given how poor the Ming Dynasty's treasury was, even rats would have to leave with tears in their eyes. How could Old Deng possibly allocate funds to Dengzhou University?
VIP?
The officials in the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy are all incredibly capable at writing memorials, but asking them to teach at Dengzhou University is pure nonsense.
Need equipment?
Thanks to Lao Deng and Xiao Deng, master craftsmen of all trades from the Ministry of Works and the Craftsmen's Camp can be found in Ningyang County.
Need policy?
The best policy is for the Ministry of Rites to stay out of it, and for you old Dengzhou University not to even think about recruiting people to become officials.
As Yang Shaofeng pondered this haphazardly, he led Emperor Zhu and Empress Ma forward.
When they arrived at the open space that Xu Liang, the Assistant Magistrate of Dengzhou, and Xu Jingyu, the Prefect of Penglai, had prepared overnight, Yang Shaofeng took a shovel from Xu Jingyu, handed it to Emperor Zhu, and said, "Please, Father-in-law, shovel the first spadeful of soil to mark the start of construction for Dengzhou University."
However, after taking the shovel, Emperor Zhu did not immediately start digging. Instead, he stared intently at Yang Shaofeng and asked, "Are you sure you don't have any other requests?"
Yang Shaofeng was completely bewildered by the Emperor Zhu's question.
No, what kind of image do you have of me?
You're still not at ease if I don't make any demands on you?
Yang Shaofeng nodded solemnly: "Father-in-law, rest assured, I really have no other requests."
Emperor Zhu hummed in agreement and was about to shovel the first spadeful of soil when he inexplicably felt something was amiss.
Emperor Zhu looked at Yang Shaofeng again and asked, "Really, there's nothing left?"
When asked this by Emperor Zhu, Yang Shaofeng immediately lost his composure: "Really, there isn't any left!"
Seeing that Emperor Zhu was about to shovel soil, Yang Shaofeng, who was already somewhat displeased, suddenly spoke up: "Actually, there really is one."
Emperor Zhu immediately straightened up, let out a long sigh, and said, "Then tell me, what exactly is your request?"
Yang Shaofeng said, "Shouldn't the imperial court subsidize a portion of the treatment and preferential treatment of the teachers at Dengzhou University?"
Emperor Zhu let out another long sigh of relief and bent down to shovel a spadeful of soil.
That's alright, the request isn't too outrageous.
After shoveling the soil, Emperor Zhu straightened up and looked at Yang Shaofeng, saying, "We agree. We'll have Li Shanchang and the others think about this matter later."
Yang Shaofeng said "Thank you, Father-in-law," and then mentally he was cursing Old Deng.
I've never seen anyone like this before; they always have to make some kind of request.
Is it because you've been tricked by me so many times that you've developed a habit of feeling uncomfortable unless you get tricked?
Just as Yang Shaofeng was mentally ranting, Emperor Zhu had already handed the shovel in his hand to Empress Ma.
Empress Ma bent down and shoveled a handful of soil, then handed the shovel to Yang Shaofeng.
Yang Shaofeng felt even more excited.
“Look at my mother-in-law.”
"And take a look at that old Deng."
"Tsk tsk, no wonder people say that Chairman Ma's empire is Zhu Chongba's imperial throne."
"This old man is a disgrace to the profession of son-in-law."
"I am truly ashamed to be associated with him."
After Yang Shaofeng shoveled the soil, the shovel was handed to Zhu Laosi.
Jin'er and Yu'er shouldn't shovel the soil. Their little hands are so delicate, what if they get chafed?
Zhu Laosi and Zhu Laowu are different.
These two guys are incredibly tough; they've been toughened up since they were kids, so there's no need for their brother-in-law to feel sorry for them.
Yang Shaofeng never expected that after handing the shovel to Zhu Laowu, Zhu Laosi would stammer, "Brother-in-law, does Dengzhou University have any martial arts training? I'd like to come and learn how to lead troops into battle."
With Zhu Laosi taking the lead, Zhu Laowu quickly shoveled a spadeful of dirt, straightened up, and shouted, "Me too! I want to come to the medical school of Dengzhou University and learn medicine from Imperial Physician Yang!"
Ok?
Why are you two causing trouble?
If you two come, will Zhu Lao Er come to the Engineering College to study civil engineering?
What subject should Zhu Laosan study?
