Chapter 403 Lü Zhi Takes Over the Work
Ying Wuyou said with a smile, "Just tell me if you want it or not?"
A flicker of hesitation crossed Lü Zhi's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "Since the princess trusts me so much, Lü Zhi will naturally do her utmost to live up to her expectations. However, these two matters are of great importance, and I fear that I..."
Ying Wuyou patted her hand: "You don't need to worry, I believe in your abilities. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me for advice anytime."
A warm feeling welled up in Lü Zhi's heart, and she nodded solemnly: "Alright, since the princess trusts me so much, I will do my best to run the Great Qin Academy and the Great Qin Medical College well."
“I’ve compiled some plans for the college’s development; you can refer to them.” Ying Wuyou pushed a stack of papers over. “Especially the medical school; I hope to train the first batch of qualified physicians within three years and assign them to various counties.”
Empress Lü Zhi quickly flipped through the papers in her hands, her eyes scanning each line with lightning speed, nodding occasionally in agreement. However, she suddenly stopped, looked up, and asked, "Princess, has the King agreed to the matter of the girls' academy?"
Ying Wuyou smiled slightly and confidently replied, "I have explained my plan to Your Majesty in detail. In addition to establishing the Qin Medical College and the Qin Academy, I also want to establish a Qin Women's Academy. Your Majesty has expressed your support for this idea."
Lü Zhi's face lit up with joy, but she immediately followed up with, "So, what specific courses will the Qin Women's Academy teach?"
Ying Wuyou thought for a moment, then explained, "The courses taught at Daqin Academy will also be covered at Daqin Women's Academy. However, considering the special nature of Daqin Medical College, I believe that men and women should study together so that resources can be fully utilized, and majors such as medicine and nursing are more suitable for women's development."
A hint of joy flashed in Lü Zhi's eyes as she agreed with Ying Wuyou's idea: "The princess has considered everything very thoroughly. I will personally oversee this matter to ensure the smooth establishment of the academy."
After a brief pause, Lü Zhi continued, "I suggest that we first select some intelligent women from the noble families in Xianyang to enroll in the academy. This will ensure the quality of teaching. Once we see initial success, we can expand the enrollment to other areas so that more women can have the opportunity to receive an education."
Ying Wuyou nodded in agreement, and the two began an in-depth discussion about the details of the academy's management. Time passed by unnoticed; the maids had already changed the tea three times, and the sun was gradually setting in the west, casting its afterglow on the palace walls and giving the entire room a golden hue.
Ying Wuyou slowly rose from his seat, took his leave, and departed. Lü Zhi's gaze followed Ying Wuyou intently, watching his receding figure. An indescribable feeling welled up within Lü Zhi. She was filled with hope for the future, as if she were witnessing a brand new world unfolding before her eyes.
From that day on, Lü Zhi devoted herself wholeheartedly to these two important matters. Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight shone on the rooftops of Xianyang, Lü Zhi would already be up. After a quick wash, she would immediately rush to the construction sites of the Daqin Medical College and Daqin Academy to personally supervise the progress of the projects.
At the construction site, Lü Zhi meticulously inspected every detail, communicated with the workers, and learned about their work and the problems they encountered. She continuously offered suggestions for improvement to ensure that the two colleges could be successfully built according to her vision.
At the same time, Empress Lü did not forget to search for a suitable location to establish the Great Qin Women's Academy. She traveled extensively around Xianyang, investigating various possible sites. At each location, she carefully observed the surrounding environment, considering whether it was suitable for women to study and live.
In addition to these, Lü Zhi actively sought out more like-minded women. Through various channels, she met many talented and ambitious women. She shared her ideas and plans with them, hoping to attract them to join her cause.
As she watched the Daqin Medical College and Daqin Academy gradually take shape thanks to her efforts, Lü Zhi's joy was beyond words. The completion of these two academies was not only her personal achievement, but also a tremendous contribution to the educational cause of Daqin.
However, Lü Zhi knew this was merely the beginning, and countless challenges awaited her. But she was fearless, her heart filled with boundless energy and determination. She believed that as long as she persevered, she would surely overcome all difficulties.
Meanwhile, although Ying Wuyou had entrusted all the affairs of the Great Qin Academy and the Great Qin Medical College to Lü Zhi, she herself did not become idle. On the contrary, she was busier than ever, because she had many other important matters to attend to.
The day after Ying Wuyou finished her conversation with Lü Zhi, the system's voice rang in her mind: [Host, the chemistry knowledge you need has been compiled, divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Would you like to print it out?] The system's voice was clear and unambiguous.
After a moment's thought, Ying Wuyou decisively replied, "Print it out." She knew that this chemical knowledge was crucial to the future development of the Qin Dynasty, so it had to be compiled into a book for better learning.
Afterwards, Ying Wuyou handed the books to Zheng Yuanshan. Since Zhao Ran passed the imperial examination, Ying Wuyou had entrusted Zheng Yuanshan with managing many affairs of his estate. Zheng Yuanshan was efficient and capable, earning Ying Wuyou's deep trust.
Ying Wuyou told Zheng Yuanshan that these books were very important and needed to be printed as soon as possible. Zheng Yuanshan knew the weight of the responsibility and immediately took action. He found craftsmen, who skillfully operated the movable type printing tools and quickly and accurately printed each page.
Time passed second by second, and two hours flew by. When Zheng Yuanshan finished photocopying the last page, he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Ying Wuyou also smiled with satisfaction.
Ying Wuyou casually flipped through one of the photocopied books and carefully examined the printing quality. She was astonished to find that movable type printing had become so exquisite; the characters were clear, the layout neat, almost indistinguishable from the original. This filled Ying Wuyou with great joy at the development of this technology.
Ying Wuyou was very satisfied with Zheng Yuanshan's work. She picked up the photocopied book and went to the courtyard where Xu Fu and the other alchemists lived.
Soon, Ying Wuyou arrived at the courtyard where Xu Fu and the others were staying. Upon entering the courtyard, he saw more than a dozen alchemists busy at work. Some were grinding ore, some were making notes, and others were discussing in hushed tones around a copper basin.
"Where is Xu Fu?" Ying Wuyou asked.
