A new journey of accumulating wealth

Outside the door rushed forward and back, except for a few people who were like guards, the rest were women.It was like a servant of a rich family, and then two young girls came out from behind.It's not like wearing gold and silver, but judging by this posture, it's not something ordinary people can have.

Judging by her attire and posture, she is a girl from a Manchurian family.But...not from the imperial court or from the Yamen.

The young class leader immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder what the two noblemen are doing here?"

Ying Nan took a look at the boy, "You have the final say here?"

The courtyard has a sweeping view, so many old people wielding knives and sticks.Although the knife and stick are like toys in the hands of children, the brains of people of all ages are not as useless as toys.

The young man was taken aback, "That's not true." He stood up straight again, "I'm here to take the college entrance examination, and because the rent is a bit expensive, I'm staying here."

"Oh!" Yingnan glanced in, "Then... are you guys from the same town?"

When a person is in a foreign land, only fellow villagers can provide such convenience, and only living with fellow villagers can make people feel a little bit more secure.There are many guild halls in the capital, all of which are provided to fellow villagers.Some correspondence was also sent back and forth through the guild hall.I have been in the academy for a long time, and I have come into contact with more people, and I gradually understand the common sense that I did not know before.

The young troupe leader took a deep look at Yingnan, nodded and said yes, "I met this troupe on the way out, and they came on the same road when they were going to Beijing. You are looking for..."

Yingnan glanced in, his eyes twinkling.Since this person is not the head of the family, why didn't anyone come forward after talking here for a long time.

She thought it was a bit interesting, so she smiled and said, "We want to find some female guards who can learn kung fu, even if Kong Wu is strong!"

The young class leader immediately said: "Then I can't be the master of this. Two noblemen, wait a moment, the head of the house is taking a nap inside, I'm afraid I didn't hear it. It's dirty inside, so I won't invite the two of you in. Ask for you? "

"Okay!" Yingnan replied, "I'm sorry." The salute was hand-clasping, not like a boudoir daughter's house.

The young class leader quickly returned the salute, then turned around and walked in.

Yingnan and Ami glanced at each other. The people in the yard were weird. They stared at the young man earlier, as if they were watching his expression and movements. But no one came out to greet them.

The two remained calm, looking up at the jujube tree at the gate of the yard, like playful girls who were curious about everything they saw.

There was an old man sitting by the window inside, he could see the scene outside clearly.

The young man whispered: "Master, you go out and support me."

The old man asked: "But is our whereabouts known?"

The boy shook his head: "It doesn't look like it. It's just to recruit female guards." He hesitated a bit, "Actually, it might be a perfect opportunity."

The old man shook his head: "Those girls just learned one opera, and they don't know anything else. If you go there, you will be trapped by someone. Don't tell them to come out, I will send them away. You... Didn't you let your brother go for the exam? You..."

How could a boy be willing to put his younger brother in danger.If I hadn't met myself, I would definitely ask my brother to go.But since someone finds that he has something to do with the theater troupe, he can only go by himself.Even if it's Longtan and Tiger's Den, you have to go there by yourself.

The old man patted the young man on the shoulder: "Alright! I will ask someone to look after your brother..."

"Master, my younger brother... needs to make a living and live like a normal person. I heard that the academy will check the situation of each family. My family's fields and shops are all ready-made, and there are people at home to take care of him. He can afford food and clothing. Worry-free. Tell him to take a look at the past and go to study for a few years. I will correspond with my family in the future, so there will be a place to go."

The old man said 'hmm', "You think Zhou Xiang. Just do as you say!" He got up and walked out, staggering all the way, and finally moved to the door, panting heavily, "I have seen the nobleman. "

A Mi glanced at him, "Is the old man not in good health? There is a good doctor at Huimin, I have to go and have a look at it in my spare time."

The old man thanked repeatedly, "I'm taking medicine. If you don't feel better after taking it, go and take a look. It's our honor to say what the nobles said, but... the girls are all clumsy and miscellaneous girls. If you can see Come on, take it with you."

As he spoke, he shouted back, "Girls, don't be in a hurry to cook, come and meet the guests first."

A string of seven girls, big and small, came out, the oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they didn't look like Lianjiazi either.

The old man said, "In our line of business, all female roles are played by men. It is only in the past few years that there have been women on grass stage troupes... It was not allowed before. No matter how good the singing is, it is useless. Therefore, These girls are reserved to wait on the corner, and they haven't learned anything."

Ying Nan nodded, "Then bother."

Ami was still curious when she left, "Where do you set up a stage to sing an opera, we will go and see it tomorrow. The opera troupe in Beijing are tired of hearing it."

The old man hurriedly said: "Country tunes, so as not to pollute the girl's ears."

"Why don't you belittle yourself, old man, just tell me where the play is, whether it's good or not, you have to listen to it."

The old man said: "Huaiqiang, I don't know if the girl has heard of it?"

As expected, Ami showed a confused look, so the old man hummed a few lines casually, and there were no libretto, but Ami had really heard that tune before, "I know it! If you sing it well, I ask you to give it to the nobles." Go sing an opera. I'm afraid you don't know that the Empress Dowager likes the opera you sing."

What Lin Yutong can almost understand is Huangmei Opera.

Like the husband and wife returning the house, talking about flowers and other small jokes, they can always hum a few words.

When the old man heard this, the light in his eyes flashed, "Oh! Thank you so much, girl."

"You've been here all the time, right?" Yingnan smiled, "If the empress wants to hear it, I'll send someone to find you."

"Yes, yes! I have been waiting here." The old man smiled more and more.

Ami said: "I know, your operas are made in the country, and they are a bit vulgar. When you have time, you might as well listen to the operas of other opera troupes, especially the operas that have served the palace. The ones that were there were all eliminated. Otherwise, no one would have the guts to invite you to go."

"That's natural! That's natural!" The old man responded in a row, and also called to the back, "Bring the special products we brought to Miss Liang..."

Ying Nan waved his hand, "Let's talk about it later when I can really help you." She pulled Ami and turned around to get on the horse, and disappeared into the alley after a while with her people.

It wasn't until they were far away that Ami said, "This troupe is a bit strange."

Yingnan smiled, "Go back and tell the princess. I have to write down this place."

It was not smooth for the two of them to recruit female guards, and there were not many troupes in the troupe. In addition, the troupe now has the credentials of the people below.A good theater troupe always has another owner behind it, and the rich and noble people who serve them watch the theater, and they are reluctant to give such people as guards.As for the troupe, they usually don't have good qualifications. In places where they are not familiar, let alone the troupe are worried, even those girls who are new here, dare not go with others.

This is very embarrassing, and I haven't recruited anything after running for a day.But the news spread everywhere.

Too!Even those clumsy girls may not be willing to come.After becoming a female guard, it will not be easy to talk about kissing or something in the future.But now if you do something to make a living, don't you still make money at home?

He Wan smiled and waved her hands, "No hurry, take your time. There is always someone who wants to come!"

Only then did the two talk about what happened today, and He Wan wrote it down, praised the two of them a few words, and then sent him back.When they left, she got up directly to see the imperial grandmother.

"Theatrical troupe?" Lin Yutong asked De Hai to check, then turned to fourth master and said, "Everyone who is admitted must check the family carefully."

Now there is a particularly bad point, that is, there are no photos.In this way, there are many loopholes to exploit.As for portraits, it can only be said that there are [-] to [-]% of them.After all, modern sketches are only similar in height.

Lin Yutong felt that the sketches and portraits could be included in the archives.Even if the similarity is not high, but the detailed statistics must be counted.

There are quite a few people who have learned sketching from Mr. Yang, so the fourth master called Su Ying'er to give orders.

Su Yinger wrote them down one by one, and then asked Fourth Master, "...when the rice is harvested, who do you think will go?"

Not everyone is qualified to accompany fourth master to cut rice.

The fourth master waved his hand, "I have personal matters. Whoever is free will come. There are not many things. Didn't the engineering institute make several rice cutters? Take them all. How will you know if you don't try it? No."

Opening the sickle to harvest rice Qianlong brought many ministers here, while the fourth master brought with him the farmyard, "...rice planting is nothing more than 'water' and 'soil'...now the capital can be Planting, what about other places? Further north..."

When Qianlong and a group of officials arrived, Fourth Master was on the ground with a circle of students. There was a map spread out on the grass, and Fourth Master was gesturing in the direction of the northeast.

Honghan stretched out his hand and pointed, "Here... the river network is densely covered, so it should be the best place. Although Ama went there when I was a child, I remember that the black soil is so thick..." He gestured with his hand, "If it's in the capital The output is not low, and if you want to come to this place, the output will not be much lower."

Another student said: "The only bad thing is that it can only be planted for one season..."

"One season is not bad. The area outside the Guan is sparsely populated, and the high-yield miscellaneous grains are paralleled with wheat and rice. Calculated on a per capita basis, not only will there be no hunger, but there will also be food for the garrison and defense."

"Then you underestimate this place too much. I heard that someone in the south is buying a large amount of land outside the customs, in order to grow sweet potatoes, and then use sweet potatoes to make wine and transport them to Lao Maozi."

"Our hometown also brews some to drink. The stuff is not strong, and the old Maozi may not like it. The strong one has to be sorghum..."

The fourth master waved his hand, "I'm afraid you are not strong? Where are the people from the engineering institute? We have grown a lot of sweet potatoes this year and tried them out. If the technology is not up to standard, or if you can't purify them, go to your mother. She is very good at brewing wine." , call someone to move over here today..."

Hong Han said: "Last time I hurt my hand, I went to Wang Xichen, he has a glass bottle of something in his hand, the smell of alcohol is very strong..."

"Yes! That's almost what it means, but that one can't be drunk..."

A circle of people discussed.

Just as they were talking, there were several people in their cloth pockets, which were full of cropped ears of wheat.There are words written on the cloth pocket, some are short plants, some are tall plants, some are thick, some are thin, and some are plump and have particularly long ears selected from the field.

Holding them carefully one by one, squatting on the side to show to fourth master, "Sir, look at this one, it's a bit special..."

"Sir, look at this plant... I picked it alone, and there are black mold spots on it..." The student showed it around, "Who have you seen this before?"

Because he stretched out his arms during the show, and his whole arm was on Si Ye's body. The person opposite reached out for the rice ears in his hand, but he stretched out, his feet were not stable, and he was lying on Si Ye's body of.Fourth Master stretched out his hand to protect him, but he didn't fall off, and the students around him burst out laughing instead.

Wu Shu came several times to remind them to be bold, and the ministers who followed him sweated for the child, but after that, they didn't see any panic in these students.

There is a censor behind him who is about to step forward, which is so beautiful.Even if there is no distinction between monarchs and ministers, there are still the identities of masters and students. There is no respect or inferiority at all to be like this.

Seeing that something was wrong with the old man behind, Su Yinger hurried over and said in a low voice: "Sir, some of them over there have been tested, you go and have a look..."

He directly interrupted what the censor was about to say.

When the fourth master called Qianlong to go over, Su Yinger stood still, and waited for the censor to come over. He took a deep look at the other party, "My lord, you have to be careful where you step."

The man was taken aback, and wanted to say something, but Su Yinger had already turned around and left.

presumptuous!absurd!

It seemed that the conversation was not disappointing, but the next day, the two sides started to quarrel again about the word 'Li'.Every day of the daily issue is very busy, and now this stuff is the most profitable.The booksellers waited eagerly, asking for them every day, and then bound them into volumes and shipped them to various places.

Amidst such debates, the college's enrollment for another year began.

There are so many candidates that all the clubs are used up, and there are still some who need to take the open-air test, standing in the corridor pavilion outside.

Because most of them were men from the clan last year, this year the quota for this part of people was removed, and the rest Lin Yutong was quite satisfied after reading the statistics.At least half of them are from poor families.Some are scholars, some are children, and some are the little accountants in the shop. Anyway, everyone with some ability comes here.

The students of the academy stayed behind to invigilate the exam, and Hong Hui went out again with a few people.With the start of the exam, Mongolian nobles also entered the city one after another, and he went to listen to the movements of these people.In the end, when they arrived at the guard post for entering and exiting the academy, they were attracted by the sound of disputes.Outside was a teenager with an exam bag under his arm, talking eagerly.His face was bruised and purple, and his body was covered with mud, and the marks left by the whip on his body could still be seen behind him.

Hai Lancha stopped and glanced over there, and called to the boy, "I said...it's useless for you to entangle with them. The exam time has passed, and the exams are open inside. Why don't you come next year, this year is useless."

The young man looked anxious, "Young master, isn't it... I think next year, I will have to pay for it? My journey has been difficult, and I may not have enough money for three years... Can you tell me about it?" , give me accommodation..."

Hai Lancha frowned: "You can't get around without rules, and it's useless to ask." He glanced at the welt again, "Unless you have a compelling reason."

When did Hai Lancha become so verbose?

Hongchen opened the curtain: "What's going on?"

A few guards over there came over, "Oh, Master Chen is here?"

"Master Duan is in the car, what's going on?" Hong Chen jumped out of the car.The guard said hello to Hong Hui who was in the car, and then said: "I'm late... I'm not allowed to enter, I've been lingering here for a long time." Then he looked at the young man, "You boy, this is Duanbeile in person, I can still coax you."

When the kid heard Duanbei Le, he was shocked and looked straight at the car.

Hailancha frowned, opened the curtain and whispered to Honghui.Only then did Hong Hui put down his book and pull the curtain on the car window, the boy has already lowered his head hastily.

Hong Hui looked at the welt marks on his body and asked, "Have you been looking for trouble?"

The kid just bowed his head and said, "Returning to Lord Baylor, I offended a few nobles, it's fine."

Those who can still wield the whip in Beijing are probably fools.

Hong Hui asked, "Where are you from?"

"Gyeongju..."

What a coincidence!Only then did they say which troupe was from Gyeongju.

Hong Hui smiled, "It must be late for the exam, and I happen to be short of a follower. If you like it, stay and wait for the exam next year." Then he put down the curtain and said nothing more.

Those rebels are really capable.If they don't put their people around, they will tell everyone about the so-called secret.One dial and another dial, endlessly.Instead of this, it is better to simply put a suitable person.

Teenagers are just teenagers, and there are many possibilities in the future.

Sure enough, apart from Hongchen, there was this kid in the car.

Hongchen didn't know why Master Duan took a boy who appeared out of nowhere by his side, he didn't even ask what his name was or who was in his family.It doesn't make sense.

So, he made up his mind to ask, and only after this questioning did he find out that the boy in front of him is called An Xi, he is thirteen this year, and he has an older brother named An Qing.

Hong Hui's eyelids moved, opened slightly to glance at the young man, and then closed them again.

De Hai checked the theater troupe, and the theater troupe had a small courtyard in the outer city. There lived a young man in the courtyard.

"Who else is there in the family? Did you go to Beijing?"

"Yes!" The young man who claimed to be Anxi bowed his head and answered, "My parents died young, and we are the only brothers who depend on each other."

"Then it's really not easy for you to be able to read."

Anxi nodded, "The family has some property and a shop, so they can get by. But my brother is not in good health, and he has to get married in the future, so I can't be a burden to the family."

Hongchen responded with oh oh oh, and then said: "Yes, everyone has their own difficulties." Then, the words changed, "How did you get the injury on your body? You hit a nobleman? What kind of nobleman? How? Collided?"

"I met a few teenagers and bullied others. The bullied children were only a little weaker, and they were dragged to drink with them. I couldn't see it. I went up and argued a few words, but in the end... I was given a few whips by the nobleman. "

"You have become like this, then... Is that child okay?"

"It's okay!" An Xi said, "I...I saw him run away."

That's it!

Honghui opened his eyes and said to Hongchen, "Take care of his injury."

I didn't ask any more questions.

From this day on, a boy named Anxi suddenly appeared beside Honghui.Lin Yutong didn't see too clearly what this child looked like, his face was bruised and purple on the first day, but after seeing it clearly, hey, this child is actually very handsome.He is also very educated.

She had time to ask Hong Hui: "Just keep it like this?"

"You didn't mean to harm me." Hong Hui said, "I want to keep this person for great use."

Fine!You are right.

Lin Yutong knew that Honghui had been going out quite frequently recently, "What are you busy with?" He only went to meet Mengren, why am I so unbelievable.

Hong Hui stuffed the whole piece of meat into his mouth, "You will know soon."

It was indeed very fast, the written test was over here, and the cheating case broke out in Shuntian Mansion's general test this year.

Fucha Mingliang stood beside Honghui, and said in a low voice: "When the chief examiner entered the curtain, the person we arranged for the examiner Cai Shitian found the joint paper in the luggage of Cai Shitian, the examiner in the inner curtain, and found it in Cao Yongzu's glasses case. A note was found in it... Cao Xiuxian, the censor of the external curtain supervisor, identified it as the handwriting of his nephew Juren Cao Yongzu."

Experts know the way when they hear it, but An Xi is confused, "If you want to give others an opportunity to cheat, how can you use an article about one move? Besides, who is it going to be passed on to just one article?"

Fucha Mingliang took a look at Anxi, "You have never taken the imperial examination, so you don't know how to do it. Cao Yongzu's note is actually an hour, and the worst thing is the joint paper. An examiner brought it into the examination room. In a small square inch, the article Quite a lot. Where did he know about the exam questions, who answered the exam questions, and who did he intend to pass them on to when he brought them in. Was it for Cao Yongzu? If so, why did Cao Yongzu bring the note into the arena? His uncle is Cao Xiu, the most he can be cared for is that the inspections at the door are not so strict."

Anxi understood immediately, "This is not cheating by one person, it is using the examiner, a group of people cheating..."

It should be like this.

Anxi said quickly, "Then we have to kill him."

whose head to kill?

Hong Hui said: "If anyone is found out on the surface, then the head will be killed. This matter only involves Cai Shitian and Cao Yongzu, so they are bound to die. As for that Cao Xiu, whether he is dead or not, it is estimated that It’s impossible to die. This person is a bit wronged! He probably really doesn’t know about the fraud.”

Things were just as Honghui thought, Qianlong was furious at first, he was furious, and said angrily: "Since I came to the throne, I have paid attention to rectifying the frauds in the imperial examinations, and always thought that all the frauds should be eliminated. Those who are afraid of death, flout the law, act privately, and sneak through their joints are beyond reason. Cai Shitian, as a censor, takes the job of supervising examinations, and it is especially illegal and abhorrent. Order Cai Shitian to dismiss him, and Cao Yongzu to dismiss him Juren, Cao Xiu was dismissed; a celebrity criminal in the case was handed over to Prime Minister Affairs Minister Wang in Beijing in conjunction with the Criminal Ministry for severe torture, and the trial plan will be convicted."

In just fourteen days, the case was cleared up again. Cai Shitian and Cao Yongzu asked him to kill him, and Cao Xiu was expelled and never hired.

In about half a month, the Shuntianfu Township Examination Fraud Case was settled.

At this time, a long corridor was built on the side of the academy, and the list of students who passed the preliminary examination and the transcripts of the test papers were posted on the corridor.

In such a comparison, the scholars in the capital are completely confused.

why?How unfair are the imperial examinations?

On the one hand, you may not be able to find the correct answer even if you know the question, on the other hand, you can leak the question with a single sentence on a random note.So is it necessary to ask, where is the fairness of the imperial examination?

In a tea house in the capital, there were angry candidates standing on the table and shouting loudly: "Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there have been frequent occurrences of fraud in the examination hall. From children's examinations, rural examinations to general examinations, there are all levels. The first level is serious. I don’t know if you still remember the "Dingyou Prison" in the 14th year of Shunzhi. In that year, Shuntian, Jiangnan Second Prefecture, and Henan, Shandong, Shanxi and other provinces’ rural examination fraud cases occurred at the same time. The cases of Shuntian and Jiangnan were the most serious. At that time, Cao Benrong, the attendant of the Imperial Academy, was the chief examiner, and Song Zhisheng, the attendant of the Imperial Academy, was the deputy examiner. The same examiners were the judges of Dali left and right. Li Zhenye, Zhang Wopu, and Cai Yuanxi, a doctor of Guozijian, were all 14 people. The culprits of fraud. They claim that "Although they may not necessarily accept all the money and bribes, but they want to make powerful trees and support the party." The entire examination room was messed up. In such a situation, Zhang and Li were still unrestrained. I showed off everywhere and said: "So-and-so, my strength is also there; Auxiliary car also; so-and-so, I try my best to be in the middle, nothing like a certain old man. There are hundreds of people in history, and there are no scruples, but the resentment is even worse." Li Zhenye also boasted to others: "Among so-and-so, I try my best It’s heavy; a certain person can’t make sense of it, it’s thanks to my help...’, these words are still shocking to hear.”

"In the same year, Ding Youke's "Jiangnan Township Examination Case", after the township examination was released, someone wrote a poem to satirize the examiner: "The meaning of fate is in the question, and the poor are underestimated, and the rich are emphasized." It’s useless. It’s useless to learn from each other, and you need to communicate with each other. It’s what you call it to be able to win. Tell me, Zi Gong, the Fang’s man, was originally a family tradition of goods.’ When the examiners withdrew and returned to Changzhou and Suzhou, some examinees scolded on board the boat. , Throwing bricks and tiles to vent their anger. And the case has been tried for a year without result..."

This person counted the fraud cases in the Qing Dynasty starting from the Shunzhi Dynasty, the Kangxi period, the Yongzheng period, and the Qianlong period.There are cases where most of the admitted students are the children of officials, and there are cases where the children of salt merchants all pass the imperial examinations.This pile of piles is clearly stated.

At the end, he asked: under the heavy law of the court, why is it still so rampant, repeatedly prohibited.There are so many found out, how many of them are not different in some small places?How many people spend their whole life without getting over that hurdle.Are people useless?Or is the family background useless?Then why under the strict laws of the imperial court, there are still people who put themselves in danger?Because of covering up.Why cover up?Because you want to be an official from generation to generation!Why can they do it?Because the exam is not transparent, because there are too many opportunities for black-box operations.

At the same time, Ji Yun received a contribution from an anonymous person, also criticizing the examination system.

Ji Yun came over to ask, Fourth Master glanced at him, "Deng!"

After they left, Lin Yutong asked, "Did Honghui do it?"

The fourth master laughed, "The window paper on this floor is not high enough to pierce..." After all, those who came from the imperial examination are the right path in the officialdom.I can't use someone while stabbing someone behind.There is a problem with the examination system, Hongli will not say it, and he can't move it for the time being.So who will pierce this layer of window paper?

It is the best way to use those scholars to poke holes and borrow strength.

Hongli should have a big head!

Qianlong really had a big head, and when he woke up early in the morning, he saw the daily issue, his face turned dark, "I'm afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

He thought it was messy, but so many scholars read it and thought it was good!Yeah!It should be fair and just.There are many things I learned before that can't be fair. There are no criteria for judging articles.Often the examiner's preference is the standard.But new learning is different. Learning a lot of new things can promote a great degree of fairness.In the mathematics assessment, one is one, two is two, and if it is wrong, it is wrong. Even if you are a prince, it is still wrong.

Why take the prince as an example?Because the fifth elder brother didn't want the status of auditing, he held back his energy to take the exam. After auditing so many courses, he was still burnt.Because the courses can't keep up, he just hasn't touched many things.As a result, the following classes have been half-confiscated.He was burnt, not to mention Hongli, and fourth master was angry enough.A few gentlemen from the other academy took the papers and asked Fourth Master, "Look, is this admission? Or is it not?"

Do not record!What is not up to standard?Not shameful enough.

Then this matter got out, the fourth master and the academy didn't get it out, but Qianlong's dog temper, and the Queen's push to fuel the flames, how could this matter not get out.So, I gave a lot of praise to the academy.

What is fairness?

Examination questions are not easy to make people take advantage of loopholes, which is fair, and those who execute the test only speak on paper, which is fair.Although it's not absolute, but... it's better than the imperial examination that makes people invisible.It's like this kind of answer is even posted for you, then you compare the area, how good or bad you are in the test, can't you count yourself?

So, this is mentioned again, new learning is good.New learning should be taken as an examination subject, but old learning should not be discarded, we can learn it, and even take the exam, so can the proportion of this thing be made smaller?

To hell with those adults in the DPRK agreeing!

This is inevitable.But as long as there is something to talk about, for three to five years, or to set up a pilot project for three to five years, this is progress.

Honghui just lit the fire. He didn't control this matter, so he had to burn it like this, and he had to keep adding firewood to it so that the fire wouldn't go out.

It was in this atmosphere that Yin Jishan returned to Beijing and asked to see fourth master.

The status of this Manchu who was born in the imperial examination is very attractive to him, but this time when he returns to Beijing, it seems that his imperial examination was also passed through the back door, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.Unfortunately, his son is a strong supporter of Xinxue.The father and son met in a hurry and almost quarreled at the door of the house.

But when he came to see fourth master, he had more important things to do, so he didn't mention this and that.

The two locked themselves in the room and talked a lot about the situation in Fujian and Taiwan, and then they remembered: "Master, this servant is back this time and brought you good things."

As a result, Yin Jishan brought a British businessman.

The reason why Yin Jishan dared to bring people here was because of the controversy in the publications he read on the road before, and it seemed that the academy didn't care too much about the "ritual".If this person enters the palace and doesn't pay homage or kneel down, he will be very embarrassed.

When he entered the palace before, he had already reported to Lord Long Live.It is said that he brought a businessman with him, some clocks and other things, and left a copy for the palace, and the other copy wanted to be sent to the old sage.I also want to take this businessman with me to see what else is in this person's belly.After all, it would be nice if clocks could be made by oneself.There are many skilled craftsmen in the academy, and the old sage is one of them. The reason here is reasonable.Thus, man is brought.

This man's name is Allen, and he looks like a gentleman when he meets him.

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were quite curious, not because the other party was a foreigner, but apart from the assimilated foreigners, the two had never seen the original ancient foreigners.

There is one in front of me. As soon as I speak, I can feel that the spoken language is still somewhat different from that of later generations.But it does not hinder communication.

Allen was surprised. He couldn't speak Chinese, but the emperor could speak authentic English.Isn't this surprising?

He brought not many things, a clock, a celestial globe, an astronomical telescope, and a globe, which marked the British colonies.oh!The last box contained a hot air balloon.

To tell the truth about these things, these things are rare and rare, neither rare nor rare.

I also have things like astronomical instruments.But it's different from theirs.People always think in their hearts that if they don't understand other people's scientific systems, they don't think there is anything rare about it.

As for the globe, it has been around for a long time.Back in the palace, the fourth master used that thing to teach his children.

And hot air balloons, after all, aren’t they also Kongming lanterns?How smart are you?
