Sitting in his seat and watching a group of disciples fiddling with various materials, design drawings, and deducing mathematics, Liu Yi felt a little more emotion in his heart.

Time is really a wonderful thing. When I was carefree before, I felt that time passed slowly, but when I really devoted myself to something, it seemed that five years had not been long. The wooden track line in Nanzhong began to be laid. Now the wooden tracks have been spread all over the Jingshu area. I didn’t feel like I was going to live, and I was just five years old.

Including the first year of Zhangwu, it has been six years since Zhangwu. Liu Bei lived three more years than in history. I don’t know if it was a matter of mentality or the attribute of prolonging life that played a role.

But no matter what, it is pretty good. Now Liu Bei's strength is booming and full of supplies. And with the announcement that the children of meritorious soldiers can enter the academy to study, now in Jingshu, everyone is rushing to join the army in order to give their children a future and a chance to study. In this era, it is really more important than money.

Cao Wei had a ninth-rank official law, which made Cao Wei's national strength continue to grow since Cao Pi ascended the throne. Although the Han Dynasty still suppressed the gentry under these new laws, as these first batch of students entered the government one after another, resources were reintegrated and potential was also endless. Sun Quan may have been influenced by the Han Dynasty recently and has been following this side recently.

However, Sun Quan has never been promoted to the emperor, which is also a change. After all, if Sun Quan becomes emperor, the Sun-Liu alliance has finally calmed down for several years, and I am afraid that there will be another problem.

However, although Liu Yi was in Nanzhong, he also realized that the world that had been calm for several years was probably about to start another war.

Cao Wei and Liu Bei have been constantly reforming over the years and have achieved their respective results. The national strength is also thriving. The national strength of both countries is not bad now, and their strength is constantly being enriched. The war is just a lack of a fuse.

However, the former important officials of Cao Wei in recent years, such as Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, Jia Xu, and Cheng Yu died of illness one after another, while Liu Bei's side, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are still alive, and Zhang Ren, Yang Ren, Yan Yan, Wei Yan, Guan Ping, and Liu Feng are also supported by the backbone of the people. Young generations of talents such as Guan Xing, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, and Zhao Guang have also made their mark one after another. In addition, this time, academies in various places have selected talents on a large scale to serve, and there is no period of time in terms of talents. If the two countries go to war, this time is the strongest period of the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bei so far. Yizhou alone can mobilize 200,000 troops, and Jingzhou is indeed the best opportunity for the Northern Expedition.

Now, it depends on when this fuse appears.

The assessment of other colleges only takes one day, but the Tianji Academy takes three days. Because there are relatively few students discharged from the hospital, the assessment results can be released the next day.

Regarding the rules of assessment, it is not something that Liu Yi proposed, but the agreement with his daughter that Liu Ming could get rid of the differences between the Han and the Manchus in the academy in one year, so Liu Yi agreed to her a request that she could do.

After the little girl went back, she flipped through a lot of books and began to establish rules in the academy, such as grading the academy. In the form of scoring, each student can only advance and learn more in-depth things only after learning enough scores.

In the academy, people who do not distinguish between identity and ethnicity are only based on credits. People with high credits have privileges and will be respected. If they do not have enough credits, no matter how good your background is, they will be a scumbag.

After establishing this set of rules, less than a year later, the academy only discussed credits, not background, and in order to isolate external interference, Liu Ming also proposed closed management. Before the holiday, all students must stay in the academy obediently, and she and Liu Cheng were no exception.

Sometimes, the effect of suitable systems and strong execution is really strong. At present, the academic style in this academy is rich, and no one will care about the difference in races. This habit also affects the atmosphere of the entire southern central area through these disciples.

Now, in five years, it is difficult to feel the obvious national antagonism when walking in any city or street in Nanzhong.

What a pity, it’s a woman. If it were a man, he might be able to do something big.

There is no concept of favoring boys over girls, but in the general environment, it is definitely more than ten times more difficult for a woman to do any career than a man.

After the assessment of each college on the first day, everyone was busy reviewing it. The next fertile land was the assessment of Tianji Academy. Many students did not return home immediately, but chose to stay. First, they were waiting for the results to be released, and second, they were also looking at what amazing things could be made in Tianji Academy.

"There are good seedlings?" Liu Yi asked with a smile when he saw Chen Da coming.

"All are good." Chen Dao smiled happily and nodded to Liu Yi. Obviously, the quality of this generation made him very satisfied: "Weapon arts and martial arts, not only outstanding, but each has its own strengths. Especially this Alidao, not only has great archery skills, infinite strength, superb martial arts, but also has a very high understanding of military arts. I am going to incorporate it into the Wudang Flying Army."

Chen Dao was sent to Nanzhong. In addition to commanding troops, he also had an important task, which was to recruit the warriors in Nanzhong and choose their strong strength to form an elite army. Without the flying army, he was the elite trained by Chen Dao.

Liu Yi nodded. Among this class of disciples, most of the children of various ethnic groups in the Southern Central chose the Martial Arts Academy. Most of the students Chen Dao were responsible for the assessment this time.

"I'm not worried about Wudang Feijun. What I'm worried about now is the people sent to other troops."

In Yunnan, Liu Yi's efforts over the past few years have made the difference between Han and Manchu, but it's fine if there are differences in other places. After all, there are many strange appearances these days, and Sun Quan still has purple beard and blue eyes. The key is that the name is different, which makes it easy for others to subconsciously alienate.

"The strong are the most respected in the army, and this is not a good deal." Chen Dao shook his head and did not agree with Liu Yi's opinion. This class of disciples can be regarded as positions such as garrison generals and military Sima in the army. There must be some rejection, but it will not be as serious as Liu Yi is worried.

"That's the best." Liu Yi looked at him and said with a smile. How could Chen Dao feel like protecting his calf now?

"How about Bo Yuan?" Chen Dao asked curiously as he saw the disciples fiddling with various materials.

"This is not accurate." Liu Yi shook his head: "What I care about is not craftsmanship. This thing is a process of practice making perfect. Even if you don't have talent and do more, it is not easy to become a master, but it is not difficult to achieve something. The key is to look at their creativity. This thing cannot make up for it. It is also the most important thing. Dare to think what predecessors dare not think and do what predecessors dare not do. In this way, it is the core of promoting the progress of the whole world. In fact, our industry is the most unbelievable thing that predecessors cannot trust. Only by dare to question can we make progress."

Chen Dao nodded thoughtfully, as if this was true. If Liu Yi just followed the steps of his predecessors, it would not have been possible that he would be as convenient as he is now. There are also cities like Yueyang, Xiangyang and Jiangling that feel very advanced.

"What is that?" Chen Dao immediately became interested when he looked down and saw a disciple fiddling with a model of a bed crossbow.

"I don't know either." Liu Yi shook his head. He just asked the disciples to think more about where this steam engine could be used, but there was no limit on what they did. Therefore, the things made by the disciples were also diverse. He would not restrict them. In the end, he would talk to the finished product.

If the technology is not enough, there are people with good technology to improve it, but the concept of invention is the most critical. Liu Yi himself has been studying steam engines alone over the years. Although he has overcome many difficulties, due to limited conditions, he still cannot make a real steam engine. Liu Yi hopes to continuously improve and overcome this problem through the power of everyone.

A day has passed, and the disciples have completed the design. Now they have basically started to make models, and the things they have made are all kinds of. However, Liu Yi swept around roughly and many of them are made weapons. For example, Chen Dao is interested in, which is to continuously pluck the bowstring through a steam engine, pull the bowstring to the maximum, and then fill the crossbow box to achieve the effect of continuous rapid shooting of arrow clusters.

It is a good design, but if it is really used on the battlefield, the bowstrings will probably have to be changed frequently.

But it's a good use.

"You don't know?" Chen Dao looked at Liu Yi with some amusement.

"I'm not a god, how do I know what they think?" Liu Yi shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, look at the results."

Chen Dao nodded silently. He began to look at the objects that the disciples fiddled with curiosity. In fact, many of them were not very practical. For example, the siege car with steam engines could automatically hit the city gate... Not to mention other things, the difficulty of sending the siege car to the city gate was at least doubled, and we had to consider whether the soldiers who pushed the siege car could withstand the high temperature.

I guess I saw someone making a bed crossbow and I wanted to lean in this direction, but the design loopholes are many and practical. After all, the force required for the bed crossbow to pull is not much, so it is relatively small for the steam engine. The siege car has less strength, but it cannot hit the city gate.

After all, he had never had much life experience or war experience and took it for granted, but Liu Yi did not stop this and he would just comment later.

"Nanzhong Dazhi, you and I may be recalled to Hanzhong." Chen Dao looked at him curiously for a long time before he retracted his attention and looked at Liu Yi and said with a smile.

"It's a matter of time, but if possible, I want to stay here for two more years." Liu Yi nodded and said. Now the light industry in Nanzhong is very developed, which is also an important reason for Nanzhong Dazhi, but it can be further improved.

"This is not up to you and me." Chen Dao shook his head and smiled.
