Infrastructure masters in the red building

Lin Ruhai and his adopted son Lin Rong were standing on the bow of the big ship.As the seagoing ship slowly approached the port, the bustling scene of the city on the shore was like a scroll, slowly unfolding in front of the father and son.

Earlier, Lin Ruhai and his son set off from Suzhou and took a whole fleet all the way south along the coast.The ship was full of various light industrial products. When it arrived in Quanzhou, it was replaced with a batch of goods and continued south.The big port and bustling city in front of them right now is Guangzhou.

Those on board were watching the harbour, and those on the shore were watching the ship—

The entire fleet is made up of the most advanced seagoing ships in the world today, most of which are hybrids of sails and steam engines, and the latest one is even equipped with propellers and internal combustion engines, making it more flexible than any ship in the world in its actions on the sea.

The sea area that the fleet of the Lin family and his son passed along the way was not peaceful, but the artillery equipped on the sea vessel made the pirates sigh and dare not disturb each other.In this way, the fleet headed south brazenly, sheltering many ships going in the same direction along the way, and with the help of the monsoon, the journey along the way can only be described as "smooth wind and smooth water".

At that moment, the Lin family's fleet moored into Guangzhou Port, Lin Ruhai patted Lin Rong on the shoulder and said, "Here we are, didn't you say that you want to stay in the field for a few more days? It happens to be a few more days to visit in Guangzhou."

Lin Rong looked back, he was already a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, his height had already reached Lin Ruhai's shoulders, and the baby fat from his early years had faded from his face. After so many days in the wind and sun at sea, his complexion was no longer fair. , In short, it is no longer the cute little doll that Lin Ruhai saw when he first met Xuetuanzi.

But Lin Ruhai still loves him very much.

When Lin Ruhai adopted Lin Rong back then, it was an expedient arrangement arranged by Shui Xian when he left.But everyone knew that when Lin Rong grew up, he would inherit the large amount of wealth left by Shui Xian, as well as the title of Prince of Beijing.

But it has only been a few years, Lin Ruhai's feelings for Lin Rong have already surpassed Shui Xian's trust as a friend at the beginning, and become a true father-son relationship.Lin Ruhai wished to pass on all his knowledge to this child, hoping to help him, so that he would have a smooth career and a happy life in the future.As for how the child will take care of and repay the Lin family when he grows up, Lin Ruhai didn't think so far.

Lin Rong smiled at Lin Ruhai, shook his head and said, "Father, take me to Taoyuan quickly!"

"Earlier, I really wanted to stay in a big city like Quanzhou and Guangzhou to see more local scenery. But now that Taoyuan gathers talented people from all over the world, I want to spread my wings and rush there."

"Besides, they all said that sailing on the inland river is different from being in the ocean." Lin Rong dealt with the sailors on the ship every day, and he knew a lot about shipping. "I won't get seasick if I enter the inland river .Father, let's take the first step, change boats and rush to Taoyuan, okay?"

Lin Ruhai naturally did not refuse.

The father and son disembarked together.The fleet has started to unload cargo to the port, and the long arm of the crane at the port stretches and retracts, creating a busy scene.There are tax officials at the port who are counting the unloaded goods and calculating the tax to be paid.

Lin Ruhai took Lin Rong off the boat, knowing that these officials were no longer the subordinate officials who were only greedy for small profits.Today's official administration has been rectified after the new emperor ascended the throne. Officials and officials all receive the salary of the imperial court.

Whenever such a decent and lucrative job is rare, the officials have to devote all their energy to take care of these jobs properly.Therefore, the steward of the Lin family can handle all the goods ashore alone.

Lin Ruhai took Lin Rong to the small steamer, which was a passenger ship on the inland river, and went upstream along the West River to reach Taoyuan. It only took about two or three days.

Lin Rong took a ride on the "small steamer" on the Xijiang River, and he had a special experience.After that, he and his father changed to a small cog train and arrived at Taoyuan while admiring the famous scenic spot Qingfang River Dam.

Taoyuan is no longer called "Taoyuan Village", and has been directly upgraded to an administrative unit on the same level as Wuyuan County, and has been "specially governed" by the big shots in Beijing, becoming a "directly governed" unit.

This "directly governed" Taoyuan City is extraordinary. It has a unique form of ownership - the land and all means of production in Taoyuan are "commonly" owned by the residents of the entire city - this is of course thanks to the previous owner, Jia Fang. However, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he licensed Taoyuan City to be "co-owned" by residents for generations to become a real "special zone".

In addition to this special point, Taoyuan City has another special feature, which is that it has the most powerful institution of higher learning in the country: Xiaoxiang Academy.

The academy has been split up. The primary and secondary schools responsible for basic education are named Taoyuan Primary School and Taoyuan Middle School respectively. Like other schools in Wuyuan County and Yong'an Prefecture, they enroll students of the right age every year and also take care of some adults. Education career.

However, the scale of Xiaoxiang Academy itself has expanded a lot. The original School of Medicine and the School of Science have divided into more than a dozen departments to recruit talents from all over the world. In addition, there is an engineering college in the northern small garden, and the three colleges complement each other, which is bright for a while.

However, Xiaoxiang Academy deserves to be the top of the three schools. Even Gui Xiaxue, the director of Taixue Gewu College, is blunt, saying that Xiaoxiang Academy is his "enlightenment" place.Therefore, this academy has become a yearning place for young people all over the world. Even Lin Rong, at a young age, has been longing for his adoptive father to take him to Taoyuan to "see the world".

But Lin Ruhai reminded Lin Rong: "His Majesty is here, Taoyuan City must be extremely busy and tense, and the security is tight. When you arrive in the city, even if you think it's fun, remember not to walk around and talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble."

Lin Rong nodded, looking forward to it, thinking about it for a while: "When Uncle Xian was here, I once saw the Emperor in Uncle Xian's garden, and I haven't seen him for many years."

Four years ago, His Majesty the Emperor abdicated and a new Emperor ascended the throne.The new emperor's governance is a bit different. All the affairs that follow the rules are handed over to the officials of the various ministries, and he does not ask.

The important affairs of the country that have no precedent are first debated by the ministers-the so-called "the truth becomes clearer as the debate is made". After more than a dozen rounds of debate, the pros and cons will be roughly presented to the world.In the end, His Majesty the Emperor will make a "symbolic" resolution, which is mostly the result of the debate among the courtiers themselves.

Of course, some important and even urgent decisions were still made by the emperor himself. When the two sides were at a stalemate, the emperor still had to come forward to appease and seek a solution.Even if the new emperor adjusts the structure of government affairs in the court, politics still exists.

But this greatly liberated the time of His Majesty the Emperor himself, and allowed the Emperor to follow the booming traffic construction in the country, go around and even promote the products from all over the country to other places.

The courtiers in the court had some criticisms about this: they felt that His Majesty the Emperor is not so much like an emperor now, but more like a... mascot, far away from power, as if power is hot.

But the emperor himself didn't think so, and even the Supreme Emperor who had abdicated didn't think it was bad.The courtiers talked about it, it was true that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry.Now that the world is peaceful, the courtiers are embarrassed to say more.

Lin Ruhai took Lin Rong to find a place to stay in the local area first, and planned to visit Xiaoxiang Academy the next day, but heard that His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Ning visited Xiaoxiang Academy the next day and cut the ribbon for the new school building.

"Prince Ning, do you still have any memories?" Lin Ruhai asked Lin Rong.

The kid shook his head with a confused expression on his face.

"Prince Ning is the elder brother of His Majesty today, and he is in charge of military affairs all the year round. I heard that he once rectified the military affairs here. Back then, King Nan'an rebelled and the Nanyi elephant soldiers invaded. It was Prince Ning who personally led the troops to deal a head-on blow..."

When Lin Ruhai mentioned the heroic past, Lin Rong was immediately fascinated, and asked, "I can still see Prince Ning this time?"

"Not only that," Lin Ruhai took out two tickets for the Cuju League, raised them in his hands, and said, "My adoptive father also bought the tickets, maybe I can see Prince Ning playing Cuju in person—"

The Cuju competition in Taoyuan is famous all over the world. Nowadays, there are people playing Cuju all over the country, and Cuju masters can be found everywhere, but only Taoyuan is known as the "holy place" of Cuju sports. Cuju players come here to "pilgrimage", and fans are also happy to come here Watching the game, it is already a blessing for Sansheng to watch a game, let alone to see a big man like Prince Ning get off the court in person.

"Father!" Lin Rong was suddenly excited, and stepped forward to hug Lin Ruhai fiercely.Although Lin Ruhai knew that he was a child at heart, seeing Lin Rong was so happy, he was still a little proud, and thought to himself: Ziheng, Zifang, I have never neglected your entrustment for a moment.

"Also, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Lin Ruhai took out another letter and handed it to Lin Rong, "This time you may have a chance to meet your Uncle Xian and Uncle Fang—"

Lin Rong was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Xian and Uncle Fang, have they returned from traveling overseas?"

Lin Ruhai didn't know how to answer, Shui Xian and Jia Fang actually went to "another time and space", and it was a long time after they left that a letter arrived, telling Lin Ruhai the secret.But for Lin Ruhai, there is actually no difference between "time and space" and "overseas", they are all places far, far away.

"When you see the two of them this time, you can ask yourself." Lin Ruhai kicked the ball successfully.

On the second day, when the father and son of the Lin family came to Xiaoxiang Academy, they found that not only His Majesty the Emperor and Prince Ning, but all the acquaintances had arrived this time, and the retired crown prince and Taifu Xia Xingshen had arrived; Xia has learned; Rong Guogong's son Jia She has arrived... acquaintances have arrived in a large circle.

Jia Amnesty and Lin Ruhai are relatives, and they greet each other quickly when they meet.Lin Ruhai took his adopted son together, and first asked his father-in-law, Rong Guogong, how he was.Jia Amnesty only said that Duke Rong was feeling a little unwell, and now [-]% of the railway from the south to Beijing has been completed, but there is still a short section to take the train. Therefore, Jia Amnesty did his part and went south on behalf of his father.

"Uncle, where's the second uncle? Isn't the second uncle here?" Lin Rong asked about Jia Zheng.

Jia Amnesty smiled and said, "Your second uncle is his 'speaker', so he can't leave!"

At the beginning when the five princes failed to seize the throne, the Rongguo Mansion gained more and more attention from the royal family, but Rongguo Duke Jia Daishan resolutely resigned from all positions. Started a business and became a rich man.

On the contrary, Jia Zheng, the second son of the Rongguo Mansion, relied on his upright and upright temper to become a full-time "speaker", that is, the "host" who specially controls the agenda and rules when the courtiers discuss affairs. For him, it is actually a good job to be in charge of the "rules". At least Mrs. Shi stopped nagging about the two brothers, and the harmony in Rongfu was much better.

Today, there are so many important people in Xiaoxiang Academy, but Xiaoxiang Academy is still the same as before. The daily life of teachers and students is the same as before. They should attend classes and do experiments. All hanging out.

The important figures are all waiting quietly outside the college, not daring to interfere with the operation of the school—why let these scientific research and academic centers be the important driving force behind the development?

At noon, the academy became lively—Shan Zhang Youshi came out accompanied by two young people in "fancy clothes". Seeing these two young people, the "group of relatives and friends" who were waiting quietly outside finally exploded. pot.

The first person to express his dissatisfaction was the eldest, Mr. Xia Shengshen.He looked at the short-trimmed hair of Jia Fang and Shui Xian who had just "arrived", frowned and said, "The body, hair and skin are affected by the parents, with such hair and clothes, how decent is it?"

Jia Fang didn't care at all, he came up with a smile, opened his arms to hug the old man, then pointed to the white beard on the old man's chin, and said: "Yes, the body, hair and skin are the parents, don't the old man Have you trimmed your beard and cut your nails? Why do you have to deal with your hair?"

Xia Shengshen, however, seemed to have expected Jia Fang to do this, helplessly stretched out his hand to protect his beard, and said, "That's all, you kid, you talk all the way, in front of so many people, always Save some face for this old man!"

Jia Fang seemed to realize that there were so many people present together at this moment, so he hurried forward and greeted them one by one. Come forward and hug each other.

Shui Xian, however, was as calm as he was before, except for a few words with the emperor himself who had always been on good terms with him before, most of the time he was talking with Lin Rong.

Finally, it was Gui Xiaxue's turn to meet Jia Fang. The head of the Gewu College stretched out his finger and poked Jia Fang. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the other party, he asked, "So it's not a projection this time?"

Apparently, this is not the first time that Jia Fang and Shui Xian tried to use the method of "different time and space projection" to contact here.

Unexpectedly, Jia Fang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's still a projection, but with virtual technology added. When you see us, it's as realistic as seeing us in person. And I can clearly perceive you... Please don't poke so hard okay?"

Gui Xiaxue burst out laughing with a "puff" and looked at Shui Xian who was standing next to him with a cold face. He thought it was better not to make another mistake, so he changed the subject and said, "Everyone is finally here, the emperor Your Majesty is also ready to cut the ribbon for the new school building. I suggest that everyone make a quick decision, as you all know, I am most greedy for the fish in sour soup in Taoyuan Village..."

Gui Xiaxue has taught at Xiaoxiang Academy for many years, and fish in sour soup is his favorite.I saw him rubbing his belly now, as if he was really hungry.

Everyone laughed for a while, and the emperor Zhou Dezhang immediately invited all the guests and the teaching staff of Xiaoxiang Academy to the new school building, and cut the ribbon twice.

"Everyone, today, Jia Fang and Shui Xian have come from afar, and I invite them to say a few words to you!" With Jia Fang, Zhou Dezhang was happy to be at leisure, without saying a few words.His stuttering was improving, but he still disliked long speeches, preferring short, powerful sentences.This led to a change in the atmosphere in the court, and everyone began to pursue brevity and substance—this was something the emperor himself had never expected.

Jia Fang immediately rubbed his hands, what should I say?

"Everyone, long time no see!" He said, now he doesn't need to hold the "Loud Duke" with his hands, he only needs to put a small speaker on his neckline, and all the distinguished guests present can hear clearly.

After Jia Fang and Shui Xian returned to this time and space together, they got in touch with the researcher mother and son in another time and space.Seeing that Jia Fang solved the thorny problem of time and space very satisfactorily, he was grateful and provided Jia Fang with a different time and space projection channel to this side.

This is a bit like the ancients imagined that the heaven is "one day in the sky, one year on the earth". Jia Fang and Shui Xian can control the time point of their contact here, so Jia She and Lin Ruhai feel that Jia Fang and the others have not been back for a long time, but in Jia Fang Put He Shuixian over there, it feels like only a month has passed.

"But I'm really surprised. In such a short period of time, you have achieved so many achievements. I really admire you." Jia Fang couldn't help feeling that the potential of ordinary people in this time and space is really limitless.

All kinds of "strangeness" he left in the Grand View Garden back then have been completely disabled for the time being because of his departure.The ground whips connecting the Grand View Garden, Taoyuan and Xiaoyuan were all locked, and all parties had agreed that these would not be reopened until Lin Rong came of age.

Even so, people in this time and space have still achieved unimaginable achievements—just as Jia Fang predicted, this time and space already has a foundation for rapid development, and even without Jia Fang's guidance, they can still move forward independently.

An unspeakable pride welled up in Jia Xin's heart. His painstaking efforts in this time and space were not in vain.

"But not as good as you!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted loudly, obviously this is an admirer of Jia Fang.

All of a sudden, there were praises one after another, and the young emperor standing at the front, the prince, old ministers, mountain chiefs and others beside the emperor all nodded their heads slightly.

Jia Fang shook his hands quickly: "I just tried my best to do some basic work. But what I have gained here is far more than what I paid..." He said, turning his head to look at the water. constitution.

The emperor, Prince Ning and others had known about Jia Fang and Shui Xian for a long time. Seeing Jia Fang throwing out the happy dog ​​food one after another, the faces of these few people suddenly showed "short oil" " look.

Shui Xian still looked calm, but there was a slight smugness in his eyes. After all, his many years of waiting finally paid off, and the rest of his life will be a beautiful day.

Jia Fang suddenly remembered that his speech was not over yet, facing so many expectant eyes, he still needs to encourage everyone.

"So, this world used to be mine, and it was also yours. But the world is yours after all."

"Bless you, my dearest friends. If one day we leave here and never come back, I hope you will not forget the time we spent together in the past."

There are not many opportunities for projection in this different time and space. Jia Fang and Shui Xian have limited opportunities to return here. One day, the two time and space will be completely separated, and the two worlds will have their own destinations.

At this time, Emperor Zhou Dezhang said: "Don't worry, I will never forget it."

"You and Ziheng will become the most legendary past in this world, the most touching legend."
