Hua Qingxue knew that he would definitely not agree. In fact, even she herself doubted whether she could really do it.
but…
But she was unwilling to give it a try.
"General, when the purification technology is further improved, our firearms will be more powerful and have more types. In contrast, every link of production will be more rigorous and require capable people to control it. I am the only one who can control it. It is impossible to take care of everything with one person's strength, but now in the entire firearms camp, only Liang Wensheng can help me. Su Shaowen is still young, and it is not easy to take care of the glass shop. Moreover, we will have glass factories and mirror factories in the future... There are not enough raw materials. It can be purchased, but there is not enough people and nothing can be done. The most important thing now is to cultivate a group of outstanding industrial talents."
She spoke slowly, word by word, and her words became more and more firm at the end, as if she was speaking to Fu Tingye, as well as to herself.
"As long as the academy can be opened and there are batch after batch of students, there will be no need to worry about no one being available in the future. I can truly retreat behind the scenes, just like the general said, and I will no longer have to worry about my nerves and brains."
Hua Qingxue looked at Fu Tingye expectantly, "In the coming year, Su Shaowen's glassware will definitely be successful. Only by making purification tools can the firearms exert their true power. I can't just leave it alone, and so will the general." It’s a pity, right?”
Today's firearms are very intimidating, but when they are actually put into the battlefield, there are actually problems in their actual operation.
All the preparations Hua Qingxue had made before were all for further improvement next year. If it were given up, it would not only be a pity, but it might even make the confrontation between Da Qi and Daliao fall into a passive situation again.
Fu Tingye looked at her helplessly and asked, "Because of a Tong family, you think so much?"
Hua Qingxue smiled sheepishly, "I discovered before that children have a strong ability to accept new knowledge. At that time, I thought it would be good to set up a school. If some knowledge becomes popular, there will be no more children. Such poor people..."
Fu Tingye looked at her silently, his deep eyes filled with silence.
When he didn't speak, Hua Qingxue took the initiative to reach out and pull his sleeves, a bit coquettishly, "The reason why I work hard is because I know things that others don't know. But if all the things I know are revealed, Teach everyone, and I will naturally feel relaxed.”
"It's not as simple as you think to set up a school or academy, and educating people doesn't happen overnight." Fu Tingye gently touched her cheek, lifted a strand of hair hanging down, and said in a rare gentle tone, "Tong family, I I will make arrangements for you, so you don’t have to think about these things anymore.”
He still disagreed.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but feel discouraged. Then she thought of something, rolled her eyes, and asked narrowly: "General, are you afraid that I will be unconscious like last time?"
Fu Tingye was noncommittal and said seriously: "Take good care of yourself and give me more children in the future."
Hua Qingxue blushed, "We haven't gotten married yet."
Fu Tingye said: "Soon."
Hua Qingxue was embarrassed.
After winter, even if the national mourning period is over, it is indeed coming soon...
Huan'er brought the stewed bird's nest. Fu Tingye stared at Hua Qingxue and drank it in one sip. He sat with her for a while before leaving the other courtyard.
Huan'er said: "The general is so kind to his wife."
Hua Qingxue looked at the direction the man was leaving and sighed involuntarily: "Yes, he is indeed very good to me..."
Even the improvement of firearms failed to impress him. It seemed that he was really worried about her health.
…
The next day, Hua Qingxue went to Lu's house in person.
She did not give up what she was thinking, and planned to talk to Lu Zhengqing. It would be best if Lu Zhengqing could persuade Fu Tingye.
But Lu Zhengqing went to Tai Hospital and was not at home.
She almost forgot that not everyone is doing nothing like her... everyone has a legitimate occupation.
Luo Muyu was very bored raising her baby at home.
Luo Muyu was born in a family of medicine. She usually helped Lu Zhengqing dry medicines and process medicinal materials at home, but after she became pregnant, Lu Zhengqing stopped her from touching these.
Hua Qingxue happened to arrive, and the two women chatted together to pass the time.
When Hua Qingxue talked about setting up a school and academy, Luo Muyu listened and strongly agreed.
"This is a good thing!" Luo Muyu's face showed admiration and yearning. "There are many talents in Shengjing City. Running a school here will be twice as effective as running a school elsewhere. We will definitely receive many students."
"I think so too, I just don't know if it can be done." Hua Qingxue shyly pursed her lips and smiled, "The general said that running an academy is not an easy task, so I want to come to Lu Zhengqing to discuss it and ask him to help me Come up with ideas.”
"He's been very busy recently." Luo Muyu sighed quietly, picked up the cakes on the table, and ate them tastelessly, "In the past, he only had to sit in the Taiyuan Hospital for consultation, but in recent days he always went to the palace. Alas, maybe It's because the weather is getting colder and more people are getting sick..."
There are not only the emperor and the queen mother in the palace, but also eunuchs and maids who are in charge of the harem's clothing, food, housing and transportation, such as the Shangyi Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangyao Bureau, etc. The highest rank of these palace people can reach the fifth rank, which is no lower than some courtiers. , is also the service object of Tai Hospital.
Hua Qingxue couldn't help but ask: "Then when will he come back?"
Luo Muyu shook his head and said worriedly: "I'm not sure. There have been several times when I came back almost before curfew."
"So busy..." Hua Qingxue was stunned, feeling that her trip today was probably in vain.
At this time, I heard Luo Muyu complain: "I don't know how the hospital envoy arranged it. There are so many doctors in the Imperial Hospital, why do they always ask my husband to go out for medical treatment?"
Hearing that pregnant women are easily irritable, Hua Qingxue comforted her: "He who is capable should work harder. Dr. Lu's medical skills are good, and the hospital envoy trusts him so that's why he is like this."
"But it wasn't like this before." Luo Muyu bit his lip and murmured in a melancholy voice, "I haven't had dinner with my husband for several days. I might not be back until very late today. He is seeing patients now. They spend more time than seeing me..."
Hua Qingxue thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Actually... I came to see him today because I also wanted to ask about my condition. If I send someone to ask for it, can I go to the Tai Hospital to ask him for a visit?"
"Of course!" Luo Muyu said in surprise, "You are the wife of Si Bing. Whoever you specify will treat you, that person will treat you."
Hua Qingxue asked tentatively: "Then I... send someone to invite you now?"
"Okay, okay." Luo Muyu was very happy, "I just asked you to come for a follow-up consultation. We can stay and have dinner together."
She stood up excitedly as she spoke, "I'll go to the kitchen and ask someone to prepare some more good dishes."
Hua Qingxue felt unsure, so she walked outside and asked the guard guarding under the eaves, "If I send someone to ask for Dr. Lu, can I really invite him?"
In the past, imperial doctors were hired in the name of Fu Tingye, and Hua Qingxue had never gone through this official process in Daqi.
The guard replied respectfully: "I will go to the Imperial Hospital right now."
Hua Qingxue: "...Okay."
…
About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Zhengqing came back.
Luo Muyu was so happy that she hurriedly urged the people in the kitchen to move faster so that her dear husband could have a hot meal.
Lu Zhengqing was confused at first. He had agreed to treat Hua Qingxue, but why was the carriage going home
He stared blankly at his wife and Hua Qingxue in the room before he realized what was going on, and wondered if they were acting for personal gain.
Hua Qingxue looked at Lu Zhengqing. He was in good spirits, but he couldn't hide his fatigue. It seemed that he had been very busy recently.
"Mr. Lu, I'm here for a follow-up consultation." Hua Qingxue pointedly said to him, "Can we talk in private?"
Lu Zhengqing nodded and made a gesture, "Please come this way."
The two went to the study, and Hua Qingxue left the guards outside.
Lu Zhengqing asked her to sit down, raised his hand to feel her pulse, and said straight to the point: "What, there are signs of recurrence recently? Have you ever had a headache?"
Hua Qingxue shook her head, looked at him steadily, and asked, "I want to know what will happen to my body if I use the chip again?"
Lu Zhengqing was stunned at first, and then said solemnly: "The brain is the most densely distributed and complex place in the human body. Your chip is connected to the nerves. Any external or internal stimulation may affect it, and then affect your health." Brain function, this is completely unpredictable, maybe I will be in a coma for two days like last time, maybe more serious, even I don’t know what will happen.”
Lu Zhengqing warned Hua Qingxue very seriously: "It's best not to risk your body anymore. You have to know that with our current medical conditions, we cannot perform a craniotomy on you."
"You are right. Our biggest problem now is that we have no conditions, not no people." Hua Qingxue looked at him and said, "You have practiced in the brain surgery department of the hospital. If you have equivalent medical conditions, craniotomy surgery It’s not necessarily impossible, right?”
"It's impossible, we can't even build an operating room!" Lu Zhengqing objected decisively. He felt that these were too difficult. "Disinfection, blood type matching, skull drilling, protective forceps, hand-cranked bone drill... we will handle all these." None, let alone those drugs, do you know how troublesome it will be once intracranial infection occurs?"
"I know it's difficult." Hua Qingxue sighed softly, "But if we don't do anything, it will never be possible, but if we do it... maybe there is a glimmer of hope."
Lu Zhengqing looked solemn and fell silent for a moment.
"I want to open a school that specializes in teaching physical and chemical knowledge." Hua Qingxue said slowly, "As long as this knowledge slowly becomes popular, sooner or later someone will make the things you mentioned, whether they are tools or medicines. Western medicine technology may also be promoted as a result.”
Lu Zhengqing's heart moved slightly.
It had to be said that Hua Qingxue's words moved him a little.
Running a school may not have immediate results, but it can change the world in the most peaceful and natural way. As Hua Qingxue said, even if craniotomy cannot be performed now, what about ten years from now? What about twenty years from now? As long as industrial production reaches a certain level, those advanced tools and medicines will be produced sooner or later.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Zhengqing asked her.
