[Red Mansion] Adopted daughter and child

Mao Shou said so, and he did so.

In less than two days, he designed a model similar to a train.After another month, he improved the engine steam engine of the car that looked very much like a train but only had one carriage.

Because Maoshou did not consider the track at the beginning of the design, this car can be driven directly on the road.

But after they really got on the road, Lin Liu and Maoshou realized that the speed of the car was too fast, and it was difficult to control the direction of the car.

Simply, in order to deceive others, they directly pulled the car to Huangzhuang in the suburbs for a trial run. There was no accident, but the front of the car didn't pay attention, and it directly crashed into the nearby farmland, knocking several pieces of the field. The crops were crushed.

When the car stopped, Maoshou came to Lin Liu with a dejected expression on his face.

After the other people in the steam car got off the car, they also stood behind Maoshou with a look of panic, lest Lin Liu would blame him.

They originally wanted to present treasures in front of Lin Liu, but they didn't expect this to be the end result.

Not only Mao Shou, but even several other bigwigs who participated in the research and development of this steam car also looked frustrated, looking at Lin Liu with a bit of bewilderment in their eyes.

Lin Liu turned to look at Lin Ruhai: "Father, what do you think of this steam car?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at Maoshou, a little excited, but also a little uncertain: "This thing is called a steam car? Or was it made by Maoshou?"

Maoshou looked at Lin Ruhai and nodded nervously.

Lin Ruhai suddenly burst out laughing: "Your sister said before that your real talent is not in studying and becoming an official, but in the strange and obscene skills that I don't really like. You will definitely make something that amazes me. I nodded in agreement at the time, and agreed with your nonsense, but I actually disapproved in my heart."

Because several children in the family are too outstanding, Maoshou is actually quite transparent and low-key on weekdays, except that he will get extra attention as the youngest son.

As a father, he rarely praised his children——

It's not because he's not good, but because the other kids are too good, so Mao Shou is not so good as a foil.

Lin Ruhai always thought that Maoshou would be the most ordinary of all children.

Until, Maoshou surpassed everyone's expectations and made a mechanical puppy that could run and bark.

Lin Ruhai still remembers his shock at the time, and it was also because of that puppy, so Lin Liu found him later, hoping not to put too much pressure on Maoshou, so that he can do whatever he wants, and he will definitely be able to rely on it in the future. When seeing the things he likes shine, he did not refuse, but chose to acquiesce.

But what he really thought at the time...

Lin Ruhai walked up to Maoshou, and solemnly apologized to him: "I'm being arrogant for my father, I'm sorry for my attitude when facing you."

Maoshou's face turned red immediately, and he waved his hands up and down, not knowing what to do.

Lin Ruhai laughed when he saw this, and directly stretched out his hands to hold his hands: "You are not as eloquent as the other brothers when you were young. If you can't speak, you don't speak. Father knows what you think."

Maoshou's eyes turned red immediately.

Lin Ruhai rubbed his head and sighed slightly: "You are really great, and the clocks, puppies and other small objects you made are also great."

Lin Ruhai is not the only one with good eyesight. When Ji Song saw the speed of this car, his eyes lit up, and he really wanted to go up and control it himself, and run a good lap.

Seeing Maoshou and Lin Ruhai finished talking, he smiled and said, "Maoshou, if your steam car can control the direction, it will be great in the future. Not only can it transport soldiers to the front line faster, shorten the time for food and grass on the road, It can also be used as a weapon to directly drive over, and it is guaranteed to knock down a large area of ​​the enemy's phalanx, and the combat effectiveness will definitely plummet."

Ji Song is a general, and the function he thought of after seeing the steam engine was of course to use it on the battlefield.

Lin Liu couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Where did he go? He just thought about going directly from a steam car to a tank off-road vehicle?

Lin Ruhai nodded after hearing Ji Song's words: "Such a steam car can be used not only on the battlefield, but also in life. I just made a rough estimate, and the speed of this car can run about [-] times an hour. Kilometers. This speed is astonishing, not only can it be used as a means of transportation, but it can also be used to transport goods.”

The speed of modern trains is generally between eighty kilometers per hour and one hundred kilometers per hour. Now this steam car is only ten kilometers per hour, which can be regarded as a slow speed.

But it also depends on the times and what tools it is compared with.

Compared with modern times, such a steam car is of course slow, but if compared with the horses, carriages and wooden boats that are widely used today, the speed is astonishing.

Maoshou looked at Ji Song and Lin Ruhai with bright eyes: "Is what you said true? Are you not disappointed when you see the steam car?"

Lin Liu opened the mouth first, and said with a smile, "You guys just made the steam car, so it's not normal that it's not perfect? ​​Could it be that the things you made before were also perfect for the first time, without any flaws at all?"

Maoshou looked back at the others in embarrassment, and scratched his head: "That's not true, but after we finished it, we checked it countless times and eliminated almost every hidden danger. We thought that the finished product could be put into use directly. , but I didn't expect the final result to be..."

He turned his head, and his eyes fell on the steam engine in the field, and the fallen crops behind the steam engine.

Lin Liu laughed: "What's the problem? Could it be that you can't solve it?"

Cat Shou shook his head.

Lin Liu patted his head: "Isn't that enough?"

After speaking, he seemed to mention it casually, "I think this steam car has no other problems except that it can't control the direction perfectly after the speed increases. And you probably won't be able to come up with a solution to this problem in a short time. How about , first try to let the steam car run directly on the track?"

Maoshou was puzzled: "Orbit?"

Lin Liu reminded: "You forgot, didn't you ride in a rail carriage when you returned to Beijing? The wheels of the carriage are fixed on the rails and run faster than before. If the steam car is placed on the rails, the speed may be the same. There is a certain improvement?"

Maoshou was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and ran towards those big inventors in surprise. A group of people gathered around and chatted, and after a while, there was a quarrel between you and me.

Lin Ruhai was astonished, and looked at Lin Liu worriedly: "Are they just arguing? Do you need someone to fight?"

This is not the first time he has seen a similar scene. After all, every time he goes to court, as long as there is a major event where there is a difference of opinion, the court will be full of quarrels like today. With hands and feet, the scene looked much more terrifying than before.

But Maoshou is Lin Ruhai's son after all, and Maoshou is facing...

Lin Ruhai's gaze shifted, and he landed on the group of tall, burly men who were one head taller than Mao's life expectancy.

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Obviously not short, why does he look so weak and pitiful, making people think he will be bullied?

Lin Liu was still wondering before, Lin Ruhai should have seen such scenes a lot, why would he still say words of persuasion?Obviously in the court hall, even if civil and military officials fight, Lin Ruhai can still stand aside and watch the show.

But after following Lin Ruhai's line of sight and looking at those foreigners with an average height of 1.8 meters, then look at Maoshou who is obviously [-] meters tall, but is still as weak as a chicken among the tall foreigners...

She couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

Hearing the laughter, Ji Song turned his head to look at Lin Liu, and instantly softened his brows and eyes.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed helplessly.

However, Maoshou was arguing so much with those big bosses that he didn't have the energy to pay attention to Lin Liu and the others.

Lin Liu and the others waited from morning to evening. Seeing that it was getting dark, this group of people continued to argue and had no intention of stopping, so they stepped forward helplessly and interrupted their conversation.

"It's fine if you don't eat if you were asked to eat before, but it's almost dark today, if you don't go back, the city gate will be closed, you..."

Maoshou turned his head to look at Lin Liu, still somewhat unable to recover.

After a pause, he hurriedly said: "I remember that the Lin family has a Zhuangzi near here? Sister, I met Daniel and they will not return to the capital today, and will directly live in the Zhuangzi."

Lin Liu frowned: "It's not that far from the capital, it's only half an hour's journey away, why do you bother..."

"But walking is really a waste of time," Mao Shou scratched his hair, "We are now at the time when we have the most inspiration, if we don't take this opportunity to talk about all the details, we will find such an opportunity later. It’s not easy to be in a good state.”

"Although it only takes half an hour to travel, this half hour will not only be completely wasted, but may also interrupt our smooth flow of thoughts. Sister, you go first, we will go directly to live in the nearby Lin Family Village."

Seeing Maoshou yelling anxiously, Lin Liu tried to persuade him, but finally gave up.

For these research madmen, a burst of inspiration is far more important than a comfortable living environment, and the half-hour delay on the road may indeed make their inspiration disappear.

After all, such things as inspiration are fleeting.

She sighed helplessly, and simply said: "If you are really worried about wasting time on the road, you might as well stay in Huangzhuang. Although few people come to live in this place, there are still houses, and they are prepared for the royal family. There are quite a few rooms, you can just live in them..."

Before he finished speaking, Maoshou went straight to the group of foreigners who were still arguing and went to find the steward of Huangzhuang, and then went to the room to light the lights to continue without saying hello.

The steward was startled, and turned to look at Lin Liu.

Lin Liu shook his head helplessly, smiled and nodded at the steward.

The steward was relieved, and Jing Jingdi took a group of people to his place of residence.

Lin Liu and Lin Ruhai looked at each other: "How is it? Should we stay in Huangzhuang, or go back to the capital directly."

Lin Ruhai glanced at the sky and counted the time: "Let's move quickly, and we can go back to the capital, so we will stay in Huangzhuang." After speaking, he looked at Lin Liu, "You didn't say you would stay outside before you came out. If the time comes, I will not return for a long time, I am afraid that the people in the palace will be anxious."

For this kind of thing, just send someone back to the capital to talk about it.

But Lin Liu still nodded: "Then let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible, don't waste any more time."

After all, apart from doing some serious business at the beginning, they have been watching Maoshou quarreling with other people since then.

Lin Liu shook her head, she closed her eyes now, and heard the buzzing quarrels of those people, but she didn't dare to stay in Huangzhuang to listen to their quarrels.

The sound insulation effect of ancient buildings is not good. Who knows if sleeping at night will be accompanied by their quarrels?

The group was very confident in the staying power of the quarrel between Maoshou and others, so no one wanted to stay longer. After hearing Lin Liu's words, they immediately started packing their things, and then took the carriage and returned to the capital as quickly as possible.

After Lin Liu and the others returned to the capital, they did not forget to draw attention to Maoshou.

Unexpectedly, Mao Shou and the others not only quarreled all day, but after Lin Liu and the others left, they quarreled all night again. It was not until dawn that they finally reached a consensus. After writing and drawing on the white paper for a long time, they finally went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

From this sleep, I fell asleep until the next morning.

Then a group of people couldn't wait to return to the capital, and went straight to the Ministry of Industry without even returning home.

Lin Liu thought that they had found a solution to the problem that the steam car could not control its direction, or had a better idea for installing the steam car on the track, so he wanted to go back to the Ministry of Industry to experiment.

But what I didn't expect was that after this group of people returned to the Ministry of Industry, they asked their subordinates to bring all the tools they used to before, and then returned to Huangzhuang without stopping.

Lin Liu: "..." Just, very suddenly.

She was worried about what was going on, so she hurried to ask people to inquire. Only then did she know that this group of people still felt that they could not fully use their hands and feet in the capital. After leaving the base camp, I want to make inventions in it.

Lin Liu: "..."

Why did she know such details?

Because the stewards of Huangzhuang were frightened by their various modifications to Huangzhuang, so before Lin Liu sent someone to inquire about the daily life, they rushed to the gate of the palace and begged to see Lin Liu.

After hearing what the group of people were doing in Huangzhuang, Lin Liu was silent, speechless for a long time.

After this group of people finished transforming Huangzhuang, her Huangzhuang might only have a name left. As for the real function of Huangzhuang?She should thank that group of people for knowing that the food was hard to come by, so she didn't intend to pull the crops by themselves.

But those crops that were crushed by the steam truck before have no chance to replant.

Because those crushed fields were transformed into a square by them, not only paved with cement, but also installed with tracks——

As soon as you hear it, you know that this is intended to be used as a test site for steam vehicles.

Lin Liu covered his forehead with a headache, sighed, and waved his hands: "Don't worry about them, let them go, as long as they don't do anything to other crops, they can do whatever they want, and you should try your best to cooperate with them if you need anything." that is."

Those who engage in science and those with high emotional intelligence are a minority, and she really shouldn't care about them.

Lin Liu took a deep breath and laughed angrily.

After laughing, she was in a better mood, and she didn't bother to argue with those crazy inventors anymore.

Anyway, they are doing things directly, and if what they make is useful, it will also benefit her, the emperor, and the people of this country.

But although she is willing to give her full support, she still has to know what kind of research project they are working on, right?

Lin Liu asked someone to ask Maoshou directly.

I thought it was either a train or a car, but I didn’t expect Maoshou’s answer to be——

Trains, cars, ships, mine carts, mining machines, tanks...

Seeing the densely packed research projects on the list, Lin Liu was dizzy and couldn't believe her eyes.

She looked at Liu Yuming, the left servant who was sent to support Maoshou, in surprise: "Why are there so many projects? Are they researching at the same time?"

After a pause, Lin Liu lowered his head and counted the number of items, and was surprised to find that there were two items per person.

Liu Yuming, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, smiled awkwardly: "Because they have too many ideas, and everyone wants to do what they are interested in first, and no one is willing to give in, so the final result is that they do what they are interested in. No one delays anyone."

Liu Yuming lowered his head, his heart was slightly sour.

He thought he was already very smart, after all, he had independently completed the research on the rail carriage before, but compared with this group of real geniuses, he always felt that he was more like a waste, a fool.

Others can study two or even three projects by themselves, and they can be organized and the progress is gratifying.

But Liu Yuming didn't have a single idea.

He doesn't know what he can do, it seems that countless thoughts are bumping into his head, and he is eager to express it, but he can't find a place to vent at all, he can only watch other people doing it in full swing, but he can't get involved at all .

Lin Liu didn't notice Liu Yuming's expression. She looked helplessly at the various cars on the list, and other things that were not cars but were quite large. For a while, she didn't know what to say. .

"According to what they do, when will I get the textile machine out for me?" She shook her head helplessly, obviously she had so many available people, but she couldn't make what she wanted to do the most. Happy and aggrieved thoughts, who can understand?

However, Liu Yuming looked up at Lin Liu as if hearing the sounds of nature, "What did the emperor say just now?"

This culture is actually somewhat presumptuous, but Liu Yuming can't care less about it.

Lin Liu glanced at him, but didn't mind. Instead, she recalled what she said casually just now, and repeated: "I don't know when they will be able to make the textile machine?"

Although Lin Liu has done so many things to change the status of women in life over the years, and the attitude of the whole society towards women is also subtly changing, Lin Liu knows that there is still a long way to go to truly achieve equality between men and women To go, such a road may take decades, or even hundreds of years.

Because history has given the answer, there are only two ways to speed up the speed of equality between men and women——

War and Industrial Development.

War will deplete the population and lead to an imbalance in the ratio of men to women. When the war is over, in order to restore the economy, as long as the country's leadership is not stupid, it will raise and encourage women to go out to work.

The same goes for industrial development.

When the whole society is developing rapidly, supplies will inevitably rise. Even if you can live comfortably in the past without making any changes, you can see other people seize the dividends of industrial development and live a good life through the efforts of your family. , won't you be jealous?

Even if you are not jealous, seeing people of the same class as you not only live a better life, but also send their children to receive a better education, and even have a great opportunity to change the entire family in the future. Your social class, don't you envy?

Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. Human beings have never been afraid of poverty, but they are afraid that their lives will not be as good as others.

And in order to catch up with others, does anyone still want to trap their wives at home?

At any time, only when one is financially independent and has the ability to survive in this world without others can he be respected.

Whether it is war or industrial development, such opportunities will be given.

An opportunity for women to step out of the family and enter society.

Look at places like Jiangnan where the textile industry is well developed, have many women come out to work, have the ability to earn their own money, and have more choices?

If it is said that letting women become officials is working hard at the top, then liberating women from the family is working hard at the bottom.

The best effect can only be achieved when the top and bottom are together.

The textile machinery has become extremely important.After all, today's women are not well educated, and women are naturally weaker than men in physical strength, so even if some women want to get out of the family, they can only find some jobs such as washing and sewing.

But weaving is different. Almost all women today can weave. As long as there is such a machine...

Liu Yuming didn't know what Lin Liu was thinking. He just subconsciously felt that this was an opportunity after hearing the words "textile machine".

So he swallowed his saliva and continued to ask: "Wei Chen once heard that [-] times more efficient jenny looms have appeared in the Jiangnan area. I personally thought that this speed has reached the extreme, and there should be no way to continue to improve it."

Before the [-] times the efficiency of the Jenny loom was improved, the [-] times, [-] times, and [-] times the efficiency of the Jenny loom had already become popular, and successfully replaced the original looms in the south of the Yangtze River. It radiated across the country and was all the rage.

With such a good tool appearing in the south of the Yangtze River, it is of course impossible not to send a copy to the capital.

Liu Yuming also had the opportunity to see a Jenny loom with seventy times the efficiency, and imitated one according to the structure of that loom.

Relying on his ingenuity and accumulated knowledge, he managed to transform a textile machine with an efficiency of [-] times, but when the efficiency of the textile machine reached [-] times, he found that there was no room for improvement.

Because the textile machine is so big, it cannot support more spinning cones.

If you want to place more spinning cones, you must increase the volume of the textile machine, but after the volume increases, it is difficult for one person to use it.It can be used by two people together. In terms of efficiency, it is not as good as two people using the eighty times efficient loom separately.

So Liu Yuming's research fell into a bottleneck. Finally, after about a month of tossing, he resolutely gave up on the improvement of the textile machine——

Because he felt that the [-] times more efficient Jenny textile machine was the optimal solution.

But listening to what the emperor said just now, it seems that she has a completely different idea?

Liu Yuming looked at Lin Liu nervously, his eyes were eager to the point of fanaticism, which made Lin Liu unconsciously feel a little guilty, as if he didn't answer his question, he was sorry for others.

Lin Liu: "..."

She thought that all the crazy inventors were already on the list, but she didn't expect that the Ministry of Industry had missed one.

She looked at Liu Yuming dumbfounded: "Why are you asking this question? Don't you want to share my worries and study the textile machinery?"

Liu Yuming nodded resolutely: "Although I'm not as smart as Mr. Lin and others, I still have some skills. If no one wants to make the textile machine that the emperor wants to make, I'm willing to do my best for the emperor."

Lin Liu was taken aback: "That's unnecessary!"

Seeing that Liu Yuming's eyes dimmed, Lin Liu shook his head with a smile, and answered his previous question: "You are smart, but you are a little brainless. Although the Jenny Loom itself can't be improved, but for the Jenny Loom Wouldn't it be okay to add a little something?"

"Is the emperor talking about increasing the size of the Jenny loom? Weichen tried it before, but the final result was not good."

Lin Liu laughed: "You should have seen the steam engine developed by Maoshou and others? Why didn't you think about letting the steam engine power the textile machine? As the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, you should be very clear about how powerful the steam engine is. Yes? Do you think that if the steam engine and the weaving machine are really combined, is it possible to make a cloth that only needs one person to control, but can produce dozens or even hundreds of people?"

Liu Yuming was stunned for a moment, and then hot and hot enthusiasm burst out from his eyes: "Listening to the emperor's words is better than me reading books for ten years! I already know how to improve the Jenny loom, and I will go back to improve it. Live up to the emperor's entrustment."

Seeing that Liu Yuming was about to leave, Lin Liu hurriedly stopped him: "Did you forget something?"

Liu Yuming looked at Lin Liu blankly: "Weichen, what did you forget?"

Lin Liu looked at Liu Yuming jokingly: "When did I say that I would hand over the modification of the Jenny loom to you?"

Liu Yuming was taken aback for a moment, his eyes dimmed instantly.

Lin Liu saw that he was so nonchalant, so she quickly said: "Forget it, the improvement of the Jenny loom will be handed over to you directly. After you return to the Ministry of Industry, you will call the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to me. As for the improvement of the Jenny loom During the research and development process, the manpower and material support needed is similar to that of Mao Shou and others, and the Ministry of Industry should fully support it. You are the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, so you should have this authority, right?"

Liu Yuming became happy instantly, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.

Lin Liu waved his hand helplessly: "If you have nothing to do, you can step back first, and quickly call the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to me."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was the original right servant, because of his meritorious service in building the cement workshop, and in order to make room for Maoshou and Liu Yuming, Lin Liu was directly promoted to the position of Shangshu.

Lin Liu didn't have much impression of this Minister of the Ministry of Industry at first, but she thought that if this person, like the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Zuo Shilang she dismissed before, was a person with no status, she would directly send his The position of Shangshu was moved down, and Maoshou was directly appointed.

Anyway, Maoshou is a professional counterpart, and he doesn’t know how to mess around, so it’s quite appropriate for him to temporarily occupy the position of Shangshu——

Maoshou is engaged in research, so he must stay in the Ministry of Industry for a short time. In the future, Lin Liu will definitely set up a department independent of the six ministries of the imperial court, and hand it over to Maoshou.

After all, it is more appropriate for scientific researchers to stay with scientific researchers. The court is responsible for giving money and things to people, and it is fine to point fingers.

Liu Yuming nodded, and withdrew happily.

After returning, he went directly to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and told Lin Liu's words to him.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Industry also knew that Liu Yuming was indeed capable, and he was more serious and responsible than others, so he had no objection to the emperor's arrangement, and he patted Liu Yuming on the shoulder in relief: "The group of servants on the right They are all really capable people, after you go there, don’t work behind closed doors, and if you encounter any problems, go directly to the right servant. The right servant is kind and will help you.”

"And the relationship between people is established when you come and go. If you ask a lot of questions, the relationship with You Shilang will naturally improve. You can learn more from those people in the future. .”

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry means that he is too old, otherwise he would have to join that group of people all day long.

That group of people had more things in their minds than the others, and the only one in the entire Ministry of Industry who could keep up with them was You Shilang, and even he was barely able to keep up, which already explained the problem.

Threesomes must have my teacher, any one of those people can be his teacher.

Liu Yuming knew that it was for his own good that the Shangshu mentioned him, so he nodded repeatedly: "Master Shangshu, don't worry, after I pass by, I will read and ask more questions, and learn as much as possible."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded, and then entered the palace.

Lin Liu had nothing else to do when he called the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but just wanted to ask whether there were many people like Liu Yuming in the Ministry of Industry.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry thought for a while, then shook his head: "Among the officials, like You Shilang and Liu Yuming, they are really different."

He glanced at Lin Liu carefully, and seeing that he was not angry, he continued, "The old minister used to be just like Liu Yuming, with a single mind. The old minister is not even as withdrawn as Liu Yuming, but he is still excluded. It has been a long time , naturally changed the way of acting.”

He has changed relatively little. Others have long polished their spikes in their long-term lives, and they are indistinguishable from others.

Lin Liu frowned, becoming more determined to separate Mao Shou and the others.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry thought for a while and smiled: "There are no officials who the emperor wants, but among the craftsmen supported by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are quite a few such people. Craftsman of things."

Lin Liu's eyes lit up: "You know them all?"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry nodded: "I often deal with them, so I know them well. However, I am more familiar with the craftsmen at the Ministry of Industry, and I am less familiar with the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Lin Liu didn't mind, after all, this was already a pleasant surprise: "You find a way to assess those craftsmen, and if they are suitable, pick out all of them, and send them directly to Huangzhuang for their help."

Mao Shou and the others have never had any assistants around them. It was okay for a group of people to study one thing before and they could help each other, but now they are studying their own, which will inevitably feel inconvenient.

These assistants are not noobs who don’t know anything. They can not only provide help to Mao Shou and others, but also learn knowledge from Mao Shou and others. If they are smarter and seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to recognize those big guys as teachers. .

Lin Liu still attaches great importance to killing two birds with one stone.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was quite efficient, and it didn't take long for about thirty craftsmen to be selected.Except for a few, most of them are very young, with bright eyes and look full of vigor.

Lin Liu looked at these young craftsmen, and his heart moved: "You should learn from You Shilang and the others, and you may have greater fortune in the future."

A group of people looked around in a daze, not quite understanding what Lin Liu meant.

Lin Liu didn't explain, and after they left, he took the minister of the Ministry of Industry with him, and went to the Ministry of Industry to find those bigwigs who stayed in the Ministry of Industry to study theories.

She was also familiar with the relationship with these people, and after exchanging pleasantries, she got straight to the point and asked, "Should you keep those articles you wrote before? Can you give them to me?"

A group of people looked at each other, nodded and handed over all their previous research results to Lin Liu.

Lin Liu glanced at it, and she didn't know any other languages ​​except English and French.

Even in English and French, Lin Liu was confused by many proper nouns.But this is not a big deal, after all, the imperial court has a department dedicated to receiving foreigners, which is full of officials in charge of diplomacy, and language is a basic skill for them.

Lin Liu nodded: "Thank you very much for giving these things to me, and I will ask someone to pay you a reward in the future."

This came as a surprise to others.

When these research results came out, Lin Liu had already paid them once, and they had already tacitly agreed that their research results could be used by Lin Liu at will.

It's just that although they are happy to get a reward for nothing, they still have doubts.

David, the leader, couldn't help but said: "The emperor is going to go with these articles, what do you want to do? Can you tell us?"

Lin Liu smiled and nodded: "There is no special purpose. I just feel that since these things have been researched, it would be a pity if they are not handed down, so I plan to translate them, compile them into textbooks, and add them to the exam in the future."

These foreigners have lived in China for so long, not to mention knowing everything about China, but they also know what the most important activity in this country is——

Imperial Examination.

When they just learned that everyone in this country has the opportunity to study, they can also pass the imperial examination to improve their status and change their own destiny, they were a little shocked.

Among this group of bigwigs, not everyone has a good family background, or in other words, most of them do not have a particularly good family background.So they know very well how difficult it is for a person to change their own or even the entire family's living class by themselves.

But in China, such a smooth road has existed for thousands of years.

Everyone was shocked by this and called the imperial examination system one of China's greatest inventions.To a certain extent, this group of research bigwigs willingly stayed in Huaxia because they saw hope.

They had asked Lin Liu before if their children would have the opportunity to take the imperial examination if they grew up.

The answer is certainly yes.

The imperial examination system has been developed for thousands of years. Now, except for slaves and low-ranking people, and criminals, as long as you can read and write, you can take part in the imperial examination.

After Lin Liu ascended the throne, even women had the right to take the imperial examination.

These foreigners are really capable people, as long as they are willing, why are they not allowed to take the imperial examination?

It was also because of Lin Liu's reply that this group of people had a greater sense of belonging to Huaxia.

You must know that today's European class is solidified, but there is no such obvious channel to change one's own class.

But precisely because they knew the importance of the imperial examination, this group of people was even more disturbed——

If such knowledge is added to the examination scope hastily, they will not feel anything, and even secretly happy.But will other scholars in this country really not object?

After all, for thousands of years, the scope of examinations for scholars in this country has been the Four Books, Five Classics and History Books.

Seeing everyone's worried faces, Lin Liu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a buffer time."
