I do research in ancient times

The "new talents" in the examination, after confirming their innocence, will be sent to Jiuling City for "pre-job training".

At the beginning of the new dynasty, the order of the world has not yet been established, and a lot of manpower is needed at the grassroots level. The "new talents" in these examinations are in high demand.

Yu Qiang followed the same period, taking a steamboat all the way westward along the Wuzhi River, and finally berthed at a large port.

The sailor told them that this is Jiuling City, the place where paper, graphite, pen, cement, heated kang, acupuncture, medicine, modao, cannon, and steamship were made. When the young sailor talked about these, his slightly green face was shining.

"There is no place in the world that is better than Jiuling City. There are always new things to see there. Every time I go to sea and come back, I have to adapt for a while to get used to it."

The young sailor was about the same age as Yu Qiang, and one of them was a cheerful boy, and the two chatted well when they came and went.

He has heard about Yu Qiang's life experience, but he has no special opinion on him. He only said that Mr. Ning said that the two brothers Yu Zhengyi and Yu Zhenglei were famous generals who fought against the barbarians and died in battle. They deserve the respect of future generations. .

With just this sentence, Yu Qiang's eye circles turned red instantly, tears poured out unstoppably, and the uncrowned boy cried like a baby.

The Yu family was exterminated by King Zuoguli. Although he escaped by chance, he did not know how much he suffered along the way.In order to survive, no matter how tiring or humble the job was, the hardest thing was the midnight dream, thinking of all the uncles and brothers who died on the battlefield, who were stigmatized and forgotten just because they failed in the political struggle.

When the clan was just exterminated, Yu Qiang also thought about martyrdom.

The world is difficult, he is alone, with no relatives and reasons, what's the point of living?

But think about it again, if he died, there would really be no one in the Yu family.In Haohao's hundred years, the Yu clan has also produced many amazing and talented people. No one will remember these people, and they will be buried forever with his death.

Therefore, he can't die yet, someone must worship them.

With this thought in mind, Yu Qiang survived, the little boy struggled through the most chaotic world, and finally ushered in a turning point.

But he never expected that in a remote border town, there would still be people who remembered their Yu family and the achievements of his two uncles.

"Oh, why are you crying?"

The boatman scratched his head, his face was at a loss.

"It's okay, it's all over. My boss is suffering more than you! His parents died early, and he has been wandering in Niubei Mountain for a long time. If Mr. Ning hadn't rescued him, he might have been fed to wild wolves now!"

"I'm living well now, and I found Grandpa. Mr. Ning said that as long as we work hard, life will get better."

Hearing what he said, Yu Qiang wiped his face and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Ning you are talking about, is Mo Zong's son?"

"Yes!"

The sailor smiled.

"Aren't you here for training? Then you have to study hard, otherwise you may be sent back if you fail the assessment. Mr. Ning is strict!"

Having said that, he paused, scratched the back of his head, and a look of uncertainty flashed across his face.

"However, Mr. Ning is very busy, so he probably doesn't have much time to give you lessons in person."

"The ship department I studied in was founded by Mr. Ning, but he has a lot of things to do. At that time, he only talked about it once or twice."

"Now Jiuling Lake is full of students, and the school is full. If you want to listen to Mr. Ning's class, you have to go to a special university. Ordinary people can't get in."

"Then what kind of person is he?"

Yu Qiang asked anxiously.

He really wanted to meet this "Mr. Ning" and thank him face to face for giving the two uncles a fair and objective evaluation.

"He..."

The boatman scratched his head again.

"Good-looking, elegant, I won't say, anyway, he is the most beautiful person in Jiuling Lake!"

"When you're eating, if you see someone being treated especially favorably by your aunts and sisters, it's Mr. Ning."

what?

Yu Qiang looked bewildered.

He thought that Mr. Ning would be a respectable old man, but from what the sailor said, he was obviously a vagabond who was popular with women...

Okay, okay... Merry is Merry, anyway Merry... Well, it's also a standard configuration for celebrities, it doesn't get in the way...

A group of "new talents" arrived in Jiuling City, just like bumpkins entering the city, their eyesight is not enough.

The people here are really completely different from those outside. They are full of vigor and hope. They all walk in a hurry and speak words that they can't understand.

Some of the new talents came from aristocratic families, and they still had doubts about Jiuling City.Now that I saw this "magic city" with my own eyes, I fell to my knees almost as soon as I saw it, and I couldn't think of any contempt at all.

Neat and clean dormitories, warm and convenient kang, abundant food and sufficient paper and pens, the basic rations of Jiuling City alone are enough to destroy the face of many aristocratic families.

When they were at home, they couldn't use such good things all the time!Not to mention the books and materials issued by the school, and the library where you can borrow classics and articles. No second-rate family can have such a rich collection of books!

When the training started, everyone's faces felt even more painful.

They are all "new talents", and they don't need to learn the most basic knowledge. They are divided into classes according to the subjects they apply for, but a large part of them still can't keep up with the progress of the courses.

What is double-entry bookkeeping?Why is the project cost calculated in this way?How to mix earth and gravel?

Yu Qiang, who was assigned to the engineering department, had a big head every day, and his hair was visibly thinning.

He didn't have time to think about Mr. Ning anymore.When I come back every day, I just sit in my room and study hard. Fortunately, Jiuling City does not limit the amount of lamp oil used by students.I heard that the lamp oil was extracted from kerosene by Mr. Ning, and the light under the glass cover was bright and warm, accompanying Yu Qiang through many sleepless nights.

But life is like this. When you plant willows inadvertently, often the willow trees will plant a boulevard.

In the evening of that day, Yu Qiang, who was obsessed with learning, missed dinner. He was so hungry that he went out to the dining hall to try his luck.

Although there is not a shortage of materials in the border towns, there is a strong culture of thrift. The food hall calculates the amount of materials used every day, and there are very few surpluses.

But Yu Qiang was lucky. When he was eating in the dining room, there were people eating, and Caikou's aunt was taking out the extra vegetables and rice.

"Can you give me the rest? I haven't used up my dinner ticket yet..."

Yu Qiang asked and answered in a low voice.

The aunt inside nodded when she saw that he was wearing a medical uniform.

"There's just a bowl of stewed meat pie left, so I'll share it with you."

Yu Qiang thanked him, took a bowl and sat aside.

He was hungry and buried himself in eating for a while, only to realize that today's stewed cakes are extraordinarily rich.

There are meat, green prawns, several kinds of vegetables, potatoes cut into finely diced pieces, and noodles are added, which has an excellent taste.

How can such a delicacy be left in the food room?

Yu Qiang raised his head with a puzzled face, and his eyes inevitably fell on the diners at the next table.

This is a young and handsome young man with fair complexion and exquisite facial features. He is chewing his meal slowly while flipping through the books on the table.

He straightened his back and ate very slowly, chewing every bite carefully, his demeanor was no different from his family background.

Yu Qiang's pupils constricted for a moment.

Because of this face, he had actually seen it before.

In the early years in the clan, he also followed his cousins ​​to Yunfu Mountain to meet the head of the mountain.At that time in Yunfu Mountain, the most famous face was this face, which belonged exclusively to the eldest son of the Lu family of the first family, and could make the school open the front door to welcome the young talent.

But, isn't Lu Shiji already dead?

Yu Qiang couldn't hide the astonishment on his face, and countless thoughts burst into his mind instantly.

He vaguely remembered that when he was displaced because of the extermination of the clan, he once heard a rumor about the Lu family in the city.It is said that the Lu family found a wandering child and welcomed Mo Zongjuzi to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. At that time, he still thought it was absurd. Looking at it now, could it be true?

Perhaps his eyes were too focused, which made the young man who was concentrating on reading realize something was wrong, and raised his eyes to look in his direction.

"Are you a new talent here for training?"

Yu Qiang heard the other party ask.

He froze for a moment, suddenly didn't know what to say, so he could only nod indiscriminately,

"Oh."

The young man lowered his head again, turned a page of the book spread out on the table, and then said.

"Then you have to work hard. There are many new gadgets in Jiuling City, go around more and see more, and cherish this rare learning time."

Yu Qiang nodded, keeping his words firmly in his heart.

Just like what the gentleman said, Jiuling City has many new gadgets, and he spent some of the most precious days in his life here.

He was assigned to the construction engineering department, and learned a lot of architecture from the masters of Mozong's civil engineering group, and then transferred to the economics department to learn engineering cost calculation and cost control, which he had heard in the family before. Something I've never heard of.

He once met the second son of the emperor in Mo Zong's class. He was a very cheerful and lively young man who was about his age. The little lady Xiong will suddenly become well-behaved, docile, stable and reliable.

He had participated in a wedding of Mo Zong's disciples, which was said to be a marriage between the future owner of the blacksmith workshop and the chief steward of the weaving workshop.Although the bride has blemishes on her face, she is full of heroism and has firm eyes, which makes people heartbroken.

He met Xue Huiyue when he was still training outside the border city. The former "virtuous concubine" of Dongshan Dynasty almost became his cousin's woman.

Xue Huiyue seems to have a good life, working as a school teacher in a small town, teaching doll painting and piano art.

She wears a woman's bun, her face is much more haggard than before, but her expression is very comfortable and calm, with a sense of beauty that has been cultivated over the years.

Xue Huiyue also saw him, she just nodded without saying anything, and brought a group of dolls into the simple school.

It's just a pity that he never saw Mr. Ning again.

During those days, Mr. Ning was busy building iron cars that could be driven by burning coal in Wuwei, and rarely appeared in Jiuling City.By the time Yu Qiang finished his studies and left, Mo Zong's blacksmith workshop had already started to build a smooth and level track between the two cities.

In the sixth year of Taiyuan, the train was born.This huge, rumbling steel monster completely changed the Yong Dynasty, changed the world, and changed the fate of countless people.

In the ninth year of Taiyuan, the first steam iron ship of the Yong Dynasty set sail to sea.The number one leader of the Yong Dynasty, Linka, was a Donghu man. He became a hero of the Donghu people in the Yong Dynasty, because he drove Mr. Ning on an iron boat, successfully found overseas islands, and further expanded the territory of the Yong Dynasty.

Jiuling City has become the highest university in the world. Countless teenagers and girls dream of entering it, becoming train drivers, sailors on long voyages, industrial workers in various manufacturing workshops, researchers in academic laboratories, and fighting for their own destiny. Tongtian Avenue.

In the 12th year of Taiyuan, the Prime Minister of the Yong Dynasty, the son of Mo Zong, Mr. Ning, who is a man of the world, died of illness.

It is said that he was congenitally deficient, and was drugged by the wicked Lu's father after birth. It is a miracle that he can survive until his thirties.

There were endless cries in Jiuling City, and countless students spontaneously wore mourning.Many people in the city fainted several times because of their grief, which made it impossible to restore normal order for a long time.

"Huiji will be hurt, Huiji will be hurt!"

On the train to Jiuling City, many people who spontaneously went to express their condolences cried and murmured, wishing to stop some gentlemen and let him use his brains to live a long and safe life.

Yu Qiang came with his eldest son, his nose was sore, and for the umpteenth time, he thought of the young man who was concentrating on studying in the food room of Jiuling City that day.

Yes, Huiji will be hurt.

Mr. Ning has brought countless changes to Yongchao, but he can't change his own destiny after all. How embarrassing is this for him!

"Father, the family is too bad!"

His eldest son Yu Linghe cried and cursed.

"It's too bad for them! Why do you want to kill Mr.?! They are all bad people!"

Yu Qiang wanted to defend himself, but he swallowed the words and silently patted his son's head.

At that time, Mr. Ning was able to evaluate his cousin fairly. Looking back now, compared with Mr. Ning, he is still too narrow-sighted, only seeing the gains and losses of a family.

Sir, you are the one who really sees the world!

During the national funeral of the Yong Dynasty, the world was completely untouched, the Taizu held the coffin, and the prince presided over the funeral.

Mr. Ning was buried on the bank of Wuzhi River, on the hillside to the north of Jiuling City, where the prince built a "Mr. Tomb".

At present there is a stele, but there is no inscription on it, and it depicts the mountains and rivers of the Yong Dynasty.

During the whole process, the prince didn't say a word, and there was no expression on his mature and stern face.

But after the husband was buried, Gao Zu announced his abdication, and the prince Feng Kai took over the world. He became the Supreme Emperor himself, and set sail with a group of brothers.

The new emperor changed his name to Yongning, and was known as Yong Taizong in history.

The Yongning era opened the prelude to the most glorious era in history.

Taizong Fengkai thoroughly implemented the will of Mr. Mo Zongning, appointing people with integrity and ability, knowing them well; opening up the way of speaking, respecting life, self-restraint, respecting science and technology, establishing a fair system for selecting scholars, further improving the internal structure of the court, and balancing constraints All parties have achieved the ideal situation of world governance.

During his administration, he practiced strict economy at home, recuperated, revived culture and education, opened up territories to the outside world, encouraged folks to explore the sea, and stabilized the frontiers. Base.

It's just that Emperor Yong Taizong never married and had no harem, and the crown prince who was appointed after he ascended the throne was Feng Kang, the younger brother of a compatriot of the same mother.

In the 12th year of Yongning, Emperor Taizong suddenly announced that he would be the crown prince, and the court was shocked.

The crown prince was unwilling to take over the throne, and begged bitterly, but Taizong was unmoved, and passed on the will through the three phases and four assistants of the center, and then took the train to Jiuling Lake alone, and entered the tomb of his husband.

The broken dragon stone fell, and the new emperor, who was a step late, fell to his knees in front of his husband, crying until he fainted several times.

He didn't want to leave, so he built a thatched house in front of the tomb, and waited in front of his husband's tomb every day.

But the door of the tomb never opened again.

The new emperor was stubborn, and others could not talk to him. In the end, it was the Supreme Emperor and the new Empress Xiong who forcibly dragged him back to Ding'an City.

The days that followed, in Yu Qiang's memory, seemed like years passed by.

Emperor Ming was a good emperor, hard-working and conscientious, following the national policy set by Mr. Ning and Taizong, he gradually developed the Yong Dynasty to an unprecedented prosperity.

During his reign, the world was rich, civil and politically enlightened, he was free to speak out but was not bewitched, and he was as decisive as his brother in killing and attacking.

It's just that everyone in the world knows that His Majesty Emperor Ming is somewhat afraid of guilt.Empress Xiong Huanniang, as the dean of the Yong Dynasty Medical College, did not confine her to the harem, but has been fighting on the front line of teaching to cure diseases and save lives, and is a role model for women and doctors all over the world.

The Tian family couple lived their whole lives and had two sons and a daughter, both of whom were carefully raised, with deep affection and each with their own strengths.

By the time Yu Qiang retires, the world is already prosperous and peaceful.

According to the rules of these "new talents", on the day of their retirement, they must go to worship in front of the husband's tomb, report to the husband the achievements and gains of half a life, and comfort the ancestors.

Sitting on the train to Jiuling Lake, Yu Qiang saw many young students, both men and women, talking about the future with anticipation.

Youth, that's great.

He stroked his gray beard.

Looking back on his life, from struggling in troubled times to full of children and grandchildren, it seems like a lifetime ago, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.

It is time to tell my husband that the Qingniu River dam he presided over has been running smoothly for more than ten years, and the Qingniu River has not flooded for more than ten years.

After getting off the train, Yu Qiang strolled to the tomb of his husband.

This place has become one of the most important places in the world. Every year, countless people come to express their condolences to Mr. Jiuling, which forced Jiuling City to ask the garrison to maintain order.

Today is also a lot of people.Yu Qiang lined up to the tomb, stood in front of the piece of mountains and rivers, prayed silently for a while, and then presented a bouquet of flowers.

"Hey, what's that? The light in the sky..."

When he heard someone whispering, he raised his head and looked into the sky.

I saw a colorful light shining and floating towards the sky, gradually disappearing at the end of the sky and clouds.

You should be satisfied, sir.

Yu Qiang wiped his face.

In this world, he will finally get what he wants.
