Infrastructure masters in the red building

After the shocked villagers of Taoyuan Village knew their lucky value, singing was everywhere in Taoyuan Village.These villagers celebrated a little in their own way.

The unfinished "Small Steamship Maiden Sail Ceremony" was held again the next day.Don't look at this small steamer, which is not big, but it can tow a fully loaded cargo ship, and "chug and chug" to and fro freely on the calm inland river, which makes other boatmen in the downstream envy.

But the boss of Little Steamboat knew that the ship could be improved. After disembarking, he consulted with the investment promotion office, and the investment promotion office immediately helped him contact the School of Science. up.

However, Gui Xiaxue was clamoring to sell his "battery battery" - this guy claimed that the battery had been successfully researched, and that he could drive the ship with only the battery without burning coal.The only downside is that the battery needs to be removed and recharged repeatedly, and the lifespan of the battery is unknown.

Jia Fang had no choice but to make a list, asking Gui Xiaxue to lead his team to carry out research. Before solving these problems, his battery should not be put into production and application. However, it is still possible to conduct a small-scale test within the Faculty of Science.

As a result, the prototype of the battery car appeared immediately in the Faculty of Science.

……

Jia breathed a sigh of relief.He finally felt that Taoyuanzhai's technological development was on the right track: theoretical research and technological application complement each other.Theoretical research paves the way for technological application, and the income from technological application feeds back theoretical research.

The key discoveries of both the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution have been completed, and Taoyuan Village has also established a direct connection with Xiaoyuan Industrial Park, which has large-scale industrial production capacity of raw materials.

Jia felt relieved: The road has been paved. If he withdraws and leaves at this time, Taoyuan Village should still be able to continue to develop along the established route, right?

To be honest, he was reluctant to give up, after all, he started to build it up bit by bit.

But he has a premonition that whether he can stay in this world and how long he can stay is not something he can decide by himself.

After Jia Fang received Jia Amnesty's latest progress on the prince's assassination case, he planned to go back to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Daishan.In addition, he had not seen Jia Zheng and others for a long time, and he missed them very much.

Shui Xian asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Jia Fang shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry! I'll come back after discussing matters."

Shui Xian handed him a box and said, "Take this with you." The box contained the latest body armor, which had been improved on the results of the last test, and was added to the innermost body after dozens of layers of silk. A small piece of steel plate three inches square was placed on the first floor.

Jia Fang laughed and said, "I'm only staying in the Rongguo Mansion..."

Shui Xian had a cold face: "I didn't tell you."

Jia Fang opened his mouth wide and didn't have time to close it. After thinking for a long time, he slowly came to his senses: "You mean, you mean this should be given to..."

Seeing that he understood, Shui Xian showed a relieved expression: "You decide for yourself!"

Jia Fang let out a "hmm" and put the things away.This thing is very valuable, with dozens of layers of silk, plus the thin steel plate rolled out with the latest technology, Jia Fang feels a little bit ashamed.He always felt that Shui Xian had been putting money on him for the past two years.

Shui Xian guessed what he was thinking, immediately gave a wry smile, and said: "It's already this time, don't worry about money matters. The most important thing now is to keep the overall situation in Beijing. We need peace and tranquility, and there must be no turmoil or war.”

Although they have been preparing for war, if war really breaks out, industrial and commercial demand declines, and industrial development is hindered, the current good situation will be over.

Jia Fang nodded in agreement, after all, there are sufficient examples in history textbooks to prove this point.At that moment, he hugged the box and hurried back to the Xianliang Temple, and appeared in the Grand View Garden not long after.

When Jia Fang stepped out of the gate of Daoxiang Village, he heard workers chanting in the Grand View Garden, and he was very curious.

It happened that Shuangwen came over and saw Jia Fang, he was both surprised and happy, and hurriedly greeted: "Master, are you back?"

Jia Fang nodded and asked, "What are you doing in the garden?"

Shuangwen said: "There was a pile of rocks collapsed in Liao Tinghuaxu a few years ago. I just wanted to take advantage of the people's hands and feet to reorganize those piles of rocks, put up the usable ones again, and take a look at the unusable ones." Can it be used elsewhere?"

Jia Fang: ——The case has been solved!

Shuangwen wondered: "What's the matter, Third Master? But what did I do wrong?" She also became nervous for a moment.

Jia Fang quickly shook his head: "No, no... But for those water systems in the Grand View Garden, you shouldn't have any major projects recently, right?"

Shuangwen denied it, and Jia Fang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately this was a false alarm.

He asked Shuangwen to pass on his behalf, and after a while, Jia She hurriedly greeted him into the garden and said, "Third brother, you are finally back!"

He put Jia Fang's shoulders affectionately, and walked out together with Jia Fang in his arms.

Jia Fang lowered his voice and asked, "Is everything okay in the mansion?"

Jia Amnesty thumped Jia Fang lightly with an elbow, and said with a smile, "If you say the only problem is that you are not here, everyone can't see you. It's all because of missing you. How about it, see you this time No?"

Jia Fang nodded and said: "I'll see my second brother and Ru Hai. My sister is there. Please Ru Hai greets me. Please explain to me. I'm going to return to Beijing suddenly for something. left."

"Okay!" Jia Amnesty agreed without saying a word, pulled Jia Fang and said, "Go see Father first!"

When Jia Fang saw Jia Daishan, Rong Guozheng was half lying on the kang bed in the quiet room, and he also showed excitement. He nodded and said, "Okay! It's good to be back, it's good to be safe."

Jia Amnesty immediately left Jia Daishan and Jia Fang behind, and went out to make arrangements by himself.

Jia Fang then presented the box and said: "Father, this is used to protect against the firecracker. Wearing it on the body, not to mention that it will be safe, but it should be more insured."

He was a little hesitant to finish his words, and he didn't know how to say the next words.Do you want to explain that this thing has just been developed, and he hasn't even gotten one yet—wait for a few days to make a new one, and he will send it to Jia Daishan again?

Unexpectedly, Jia Daishan took it naturally and said, "Okay, I will hand it over to that one for you."

This Rong Guogong seemed to know that Jia Fang wanted to give this "life-saving jacket" that could save his life to his other "father" early on.

A bit of shame suddenly appeared on Jia Fang's face.However, Jia Daishan said with empathy: "At this juncture, the overall situation is naturally the most important. Besides, as a father..."

Jia Daishan is willing to say this, saying that he still regards Jia Fang as his own child, and his love and caring heart has never changed.

"...The fate of being a father is very big, and it's not like you don't know it."

Jia Fang's eyes were slightly warmed immediately, and he thought that this Rong Guogong was only thinking about his children, which was really touching.

In addition, this also proves that Rong Guogong thinks the same as him. The father and son have similar judgments and common directions for the mastermind behind this incident.They both believed that only by protecting the person on the dragon chair well can the situation in Beijing be maintained and the world be prevented from being in turmoil.

"Do you also think His Highness the Third Highness is innocent in this incident?" Jia Fang asked Jia Daishan for his opinion.

Jia Daishan nodded: "When the case was being tried in Shuntian Mansion that day, Ruan Yunqing spoke fiercely and directly targeted His Highness the Third Highness several times. But I see His Highness's expression is only anger and patience, occasionally remorse, but no guilt or guilt."

"As a father, I have met many people in the army, and I have seen many people with a temperament like the third prince. He is not a person who is good at hiding..." Jia Daishan came to a conclusion.

"Annoyed?" Jia Fang was a little curious, "What will the Third Highness be upset about?"

Jia Daishan laughed immediately: "Naturally, he was annoyed that he hadn't been able to investigate the case of the prince well earlier, and he hadn't been able to control Ruan Yunqing earlier."

Jia Fang thought about it, and felt the same: If he were the third prince, he would have been stunned to death—a witness of Ruan Yunqing's level should be firmly in his hands.Unexpectedly, this man let Ruan Yunqing leave for no reason, and let Ruan Yunqing easily go to Shuntian Mansion to file a complaint.

"How did the Third Highness..." Jia Fang couldn't help being curious.

Jia Daishan smiled lightly and said: "If you put yourself in the same place, the Third Highness would actually have a hard time. At the beginning, he let Ruan Yunqing leave at the request of a wealthy businessman. Outsiders don't know what interests are involved behind it."

"But looking at the career of His Highness the Third Highness, he can't get rid of the word 'benefit'." Jia Daishan said decisively.

Jia Fang frowned, thinking that Jia Daishan was right.The third prince used to ask for help from others, and since then, he has had countless interest disputes with his followers—there is no one-way flow of interests in this world, and any favor must be returned.

The third prince was deeply involved in this flow of interests, the old debts were not cleared, and new debts were added.He always wants to cut off from the past so that he can be a clean prince in the future.But only those with great courage and courage can complete such a cut, and they will continue to suffer from it. If the third prince can't handle it properly, he may be backlashed by these past interest entanglements.

What happened to Ruan Yunqing was probably just the beginning of his troubles.

Jia Daishan did not forget to tell Jia Fang: "No matter where you are, remember that your own safety is the first priority."

Jia Fang agreed, but Jia Daishan had one more sentence: "There is a possibility that you are the one who wants to be killed the most in secret, and everyone else is incidental."

Jia Fang was stunned when he heard the words: Could it be that the assassination of the prince was "by the way"?

Jia Daishan nodded: "You are the eye in the situation, the others are just in the situation and cannot escape."

After the trial of the prince's assassination case, the third prince came home depressed.

It's not because Shuntian Fu Yin's attitude is biased, or because Rong Guogong's testimony favors Ruan Yunqing, but because the third prince really hates himself, why did he let Ruan Yunqing go so lightly and skillfully in the first place? Keeping it in your hands all the time, even if you raise it on a Zhuangzi at will, it's just a matter of having an extra mouth and a job, so why would it cause so much trouble?

After the incident, when Ruan Yunqing just woke up from a coma, the third prince asked the actor's testimony and checked it with the words of King Dongping and others.

But as soon as the third prince heard that the actor didn't see the real murderer's face, he lost interest in this actor, and instead went to Rongguo Mansion for questioning, and ended up being punched by Jia She...

——What are these things called!

Gradually, he also forgot about this actor, until one day, a businessman he knew came to the door and said that he had heard Ruan Yunqing sing once before, and he was astonished at the time.Later, when I heard that Ruan Yunqing had committed a crime and had a disfigured face, I still couldn't bear it, so I came to intercede with the third prince, and wanted to ask the third prince to give Ruan Yunqing a high hand and release Ruan Yunqing, and he would take Ruan Yunqing to the south.

Anyway, the third prince couldn't get anything out of Ruan Yunqing's mouth. Secondly, seeing him, his face was ruined. In this life, he will never be able to stand on the stage to show his face again. It's pitiful, but thirdly, he also looked at the merchant's face. ——

That peddler spared no effort to stand on the side of the third prince during the new road tax policy, saying that he must be "a man of the third prince".

Unexpectedly, he was placed behind his back like this.

Just as the third prince wanted to trouble the merchant, the south had already sent someone to plead guilty: Ruan Yunqing ran away privately just after recovering from his injury.Nanfang didn't expect that he would come to Beijing to make such a fuss, and thought he was just going to meet those former brothers in the team.

This merchant has strong financial resources and has done a lot of things for the third prince in the past. In the future, when the inner government and the treasury are stretched, such people will be indispensable.

The third prince could only choose to "forgive" the other party, sighed, depressed alone, thinking to himself: After all, I still have no way to completely separate from the interests that have been tied to me in the past!

To be honest, King Dongping is also the same - King Dongping is related to the mother clan of the third prince, and people from the mother clan beg to come to ask the third prince to "raise your hand". In the future, King Dongping will definitely be grateful for the great kindness of the third prince.But he was not affectionate, so he dispatched King Dongping away from him directly.

At the beginning, he was soft-faced and agreed to the things. Looking at it afterwards, it was all a hole dug for himself.

If there were only these two things, the third prince might still feel that he was unlucky.

But later the development of the case finally alerted the third prince—two firecrackers were mixed in the old furniture that Donggong gave to Gewu Academy.

There was absolutely no such thing in the East Palace, and he had never had it in the Third Prince's Mansion before.

After the fourth prince found out about this, he didn't say anything about it, but the news spread like wildfire. Almost everyone in the capital knew that the third prince secretly sent things to the fourth prince in order to transfer the murder weapon.

After that, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also found out that there were people in Beijing who were manipulating public opinion, and of course it was all against the Third Prince.

No matter how stupid the third prince is, he still realizes that someone is messing with him behind his back.

He tried several times to meet Yin Linyan of Shuntian Mansion directly, swore to him that he had nothing to do with the prince's affairs, and asked the other party to suppress Ruan Yunqing and close the case indiscriminately.But he was also afraid that this meeting would be used by someone with a heart, so he tried his best to suppress this idea.

This day, the fourth prince came to the East Palace to meet the third prince, and wanted to talk about the enrollment of Gewu Academy in Taixue.But this matter is connected with the reform of the imperial examination system, the third prince has not yet figured out how to change it, so he can only prevaricate a few words, trying to dismiss this younger brother.

The fourth prince probably didn't expect the third brother to give an answer immediately.He just sat and chatted with the third prince for a few words, and then asked about an old matter: "Third brother, there are rumors in Beijing that after you lived in the East Palace, you met the second brother and the second sister-in-law... What's the matter?"

The third prince shivered, and first got goosebumps all over his body.His first reaction was: the prince supports the reform of the imperial examination system.

Look at the expression of the fourth prince, but he just mentioned it casually, which has nothing to do with the original purpose of this trip.

The third prince breathed a sigh of relief: this matter is nothing to be shy about his own brother; he immediately concentrated on it, and recounted the strange things that happened that night.

"Bai Ying? Quickly, climb up to the roof?" The fourth prince only asked briefly, and immediately asked the third prince to order his servants to come over with the ladder, and he wanted to climb up to the roof to check it himself.

"There are no ghosts in this world. Souls cannot exist in physical form." Recently, the fourth prince is in charge of the Gewu Academy, and often debates with the great Confucianists from Taixue and Guozijian about "materialism" or "idealism".The great Confucians only said that "you don't talk about strange powers and gods", but the fourth prince said that ghosts have no "foundation for existence" at all.

The third prince never expected that his brother would consider this matter from this angle.Seeing the fourth prince quickly climbed up to the roof and stepped on the smooth glazed roof tiles, he was dumbfounded, and suddenly realized: Why didn't he think of ordering someone to climb to the roof to check on the night of the "Damn" in the East Palace?

So many days after the incident, the fourth son of his family, a nobleman, took off his robe, rolled up his sleeves, and climbed up the roof by himself along the ladder? !

The third prince suddenly felt ashamed: ... Xu Shi's father was right, he is such a fool.

What gave him the courage to take over the seat left by the second brother, and he was always confident that he could do better than the second brother?The boss, the fourth child, and even the sixth child...in fact, they all have their own strengths, and they can be independent.

The third imperial concubine stood beside her husband, gently pushed her husband's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, quickly find two people to climb up to take care of His Highness Fourth? You can't just watch people climb on the roof of the East Palace like this. We are all watching from below?! If we make a mistake, how can we explain it?"

The third prince thought about it too: he has been so distracted recently that he can't even take care of these basic etiquettes.

He had just called out to the servants of the Eastern Palace to climb up the ladder when he heard the fourth prince shouting from the roof: "I found it!"

"I said that there will be no ghosts in this world for no reason, most of them are pretending to be ghosts!"

The fourth prince shouted: "Hold on to the ladder, I'm going down."

While speaking, I saw the young prince poking his head out from the roof and jumping up the ladder.Under the gaze of the third prince, several young eunuchs held the ladder steady at the same time, and the fourth prince came down the ladder, jumped to the ground, came to the third prince and his wife, and showed them the things in his hands.

"Kite string?"

The third prince was surprised.

The fourth prince nodded and gestured: "As soon as the Queen of the East Palace entered the yard, there was a tree with a branch stretched out, and a thread was hung from it."

Now the fourth prince seems to have mastered the knack of speaking, he only speaks short sentences, plus he leads the various affairs of the Taixue and the Imperial College, and talks to scholars who are full of poems all day long, but this short and powerful way of speaking has given He's pretty confident.

With confidence, the fourth prince's stuttering problem will be much better.

Now facing the third brother and third sister-in-law, the fourth prince said seriously and decisively, "There is a tree, and there is a thread on the tree".The third prince suddenly realized, he patted his head and said, "Why didn't I think of that?"

That day, he and his wife were in front of the palace steps of the East Palace, and with four eyes, they witnessed the white shadow moving quickly in the courtyard of the East Palace, and then flew up to the roof.

At that time, the third prince was only thinking about the ghost of the prince or princess coming to visit, how could he have thought that someone would make a special arrangement to tie a kite string on the tree behind the East Palace in advance.

At the other end of the kite line, you can tie a human-shaped white kite after nightfall. When you drag the kite quickly, it looks like a light-moving ghost from a distance.

When the third prince and the third concubine rushed to the outside of the palace, the people hiding in the dark only needed to quickly drag the kite string so that the kite on the ground would be dragged, and then the silhouette would move quickly and fly up to the roof.

After that, the third prince and his wife were frightened, and they didn't expect to check.But when the man put away the kite string, perhaps because of panic or haste, he tore the kite string, and the kite string was left on the tree branch in the backyard of the Eastern Palace.

Hearing the third prince's emotion, the fourth prince quickly shook his head and said, "Only bystanders know..."

The third prince nodded, and said: "Yes... This is indeed true, just because I am in this mountain."

He was in the East Palace, only thinking about whether the soul of the second brother of the crown prince had ever returned, but he didn't expect that this was the practice of a living person, so he tampered with it beforehand.

The fourth prince looked at the third brother, and said seriously: "That pair, they came with the furniture, firecrackers—my brother has already checked, it's impossible on the way..."

He blindly pursues brevity in his speech, which sounds a little weird.But others could understand what he meant: the pair of firecrackers had been mixed into the old furniture of the East Palace in advance, and transported from the East Palace to Gewu Academy.

But along the way, no one had a chance to mix things into it, which proved that when the old furniture set off from the East Palace, the pair of firecrackers had already mixed in.

The third prince suddenly realized that something was wrong with his servants in the palace.

In fact, he should have thought of it earlier, at least when Ruan Yunqing mentioned Wu Da, the servant in his mansion in the hall of Shuntian Mansion, he should have followed Wu Da's "accidental" death to investigate.

"Fourth brother, I really want to thank you for today's matter." The third prince sincerely thanked you.The fourth prince shook both hands: "This...what's the point?"

"Father said... the five of us, we must be together... no, we can't... repeat the mistakes of the previous generation."

The third prince was silent, these words were explained by the father on the dragon chair in the past.His Majesty the Emperor has always been concerned about the matter of Prince Yizhong's thousand years old, and he must tell them to be friendly and not to fight each other.

Now that the prince is dead, he is deeply involved in the assassination case of the prince, and he is extremely embarrassed and unable to defend himself.

Therefore, at this time, the brotherhood of the four princes is extremely precious.

"After this incident is over, brother will definitely..." The third prince thought for a while, but he didn't know what to promise this brother.

When he thought of his younger brother's love, he didn't know how to repay it, but the third prince suddenly thought, could this brotherhood be a bond that he needs to break in the future?
