The vision of the red building is farther
Chapter 92 World
In terms of eloquence, Jia Zhen will not lose. He can almost recite everything these old guys can say, and there are only a few mantras that are easy to recite. Here, waiting for my next arrangement.Jia Zhen is a narrow-minded person. Zheng Hedi also has similar hobbies to Jia Zhen in some respects. For these old things, let them recite the things they usually despise most. If they can't recite them in a month, they will be fined. In March, if they can't recite it in two months, let them keep the black hat on their heads. "Jia Zhen, don't be too crazy, you're just a villain." Li Jijiu gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly. "If you don't agree with the sacrificial wine, just tell the saint to make a decision." Jia Zhen's mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't care how these people scolded him in his heart.Let them scold in the dark, and have nothing to do with him, not a lot of meat.
"As for what you think, why don't you come and listen?" After Jia Zhen let the officials of the Imperial College leave, she turned to the 88 Jinshi. "I think your lord wants to find out the details of us people so that we can make arrangements in the future." Zhang Zuo bowed and said. "Smart, you are all smart people. I think you have seen in the past three days that the ministries are short of manpower. This is a good opportunity." Jia Zhen sat back on the head again, with a calm expression, and said.All the Jinshi lowered their heads, waiting for the servant to continue.
"In the next three months, in the first month, officials from various ministries will teach you your skills, and you will be evaluated at the end of the month. If you do not perform well, you will not be hired. The remaining two months will be based on your respective strengths and performance. , special lectures, two evaluations at the end of the month, those who do not perform well will also not be hired. In addition, there will be an hour of martial arts every day, teaching horse riding, etc. You must not be absent, and it will also be recorded in the evaluation. Employment. The six arts of a gentleman cannot be neglected." Jia Zhen explained to the 88 Jinshi below with a solemn expression.
All the Scholars in front of "this" could accept it, but the last one, they couldn't help turning pale and looking at Jia Zhen.Geng Qing boldly said: "My lord, I don't know how to evaluate this last item. Everyone's situation is different." Just the best." Jia Zhen naturally knew that quite a few of the 88 people were in poor health, and he didn't intend to treat these scholars with the standards of sergeants, but if he said it now, some people would not take it seriously. Then it will be difficult to handle.
Jia Zhen looked at the cautious appearance of these Jinshi in front of her, and she was not in a hurry. Anyway, he was the chief person in charge of the education of this batch of Jinshi. Officials who can be used come.Speaking of it, if it weren't for the fact that Zhenghedi purged the officials too quickly, almost half of the officials in the court would be eliminated, which would lead to a personal feeling of the shortage of talents. It would be so easy to agree to these measures. After all, it is too unimaginable and unacceptable. Looking at the demeanor of these Jinshi just now, Jia Zhen has a bottom line in his heart. Fortunately, none of the cabinet colleagues are such pedantic Confucian scholars, such as Li An and Hu Ji did not enter the center of the court by the usual route. It seems that the reform also pays attention to the right time, place and people after all. Jia Zhen sighed slightly in her heart. There are too many things to do, but he has already Somewhat like an old man's mood.
"How is things going?" Hu Ji joked when he saw Jia Zhen. "It's done pretty well. I'm afraid that group of officials from the Imperial College will never end with me." Jia Zhen said, ordering someone to offer herself a cup of tea. "Aren't we offending too few people? What else can those guys do other than talk? By the way, in two months, Qianxiang Kingdom and they will come to pay tribute again. The Ministry of Rites is busy, of course not only the Ministry of Rites, Siyi Pavilion and Honglu Temple are going to be very busy, and we will definitely have to ask for someone." Hu Ji said with a sigh. "The matter of paying tribute is extremely important, so naturally we have to keep an eye on the Ministry of Rites first. There is no need to worry about the Siyi Pavilion and Honglu Temple, but the Ministry of Rites is the only thing to worry about. However, the Prince of Li County is there to hold the line, so we don't need to worry too much. "Jia Zhen sat down. "I don't know what these foreigners are going to send over again. The muskets they sent over last time are much better than ours. Master Xu is right, we don't just care about the nomads in the northwest, those Tartars, Qian Xiangguo, those Westerners are also our worries." Juan took a sip of tea and said, "Do you know that the Holy Majesty has summoned the Minister of Industry, I think it is also for these things."
Jia Zhen blew on the tea brought by the clerk, and sighed inwardly. The Dream of the Red Chamber has no dynasty to test, but according to him, the time and space he lived in mostly followed the situation in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, although it was a bit disordered.For example, Master Xu mentioned by Hu Ji is Xu Guangqi, who should be from the end of the Ming Dynasty, not from the present.It's a bit ridiculous to say, those textbooks say that Lin Zexu and Wei Yuan are the No.1 who opened their eyes to see the world.In fact, two centuries earlier than them, a large number of intellectuals in the Ming Dynasty, such as Xu Guangqi, had turned their eyes to the world and realized that China's biggest competitors in the future would be the Western powers.Xu Guangqi said: "Today's Jian thieves have turned into tigers and leopards. If they are real tigers and leopards, they are the same as the bandits in the Fujian Sea today."That is to say, although the Manchus in Jianzhou outside the pass were the great enemies of the Ming Dynasty, people like Xu Guangqi and Emperor Chongzhen already knew that the West would be China's more vicious enemy, so they did not forget the internal and external troubles. Step up the introduction of Western technology.Among other things, the Siyi Pavilion is dedicated to translating those books on Western science and technology.The Qing Dynasty is a kind of retrogression, a complete retrogression, if the Ming Dynasty does not perish.Jia Zhen couldn't control her thoughts for a while, so she became a little distracted. The century-old humiliation is something that no Chinese can forget.
"Bo Xi, what's wrong with you? I see something wrong with your expression!" Hu Ji waved his hand in front of Jia Zhen, and then called Jia Zhen's spirit back. "I was just thinking that Shuqi might get angry again, and he might make trouble for Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry." Jia Zhen changed the subject, this is not his time and space, but there is something with him He has an indescribable and incessant relationship. "No, he also suggested that His Majesty send officials to go to Fanbang. You know that although our navy is strong, it is not as good as other countries because of Emperor Wenyuan. His Majesty did not agree, but said that now is not the right time. It’s ridiculous, you know Goryeo, it’s only been here three months ago, and it’s coming this time, it’s said that they respect our Ocean Dynasty very much, how can they respect them, it’s clear that they’re not here to get money from us.” Hu Ji couldn't help but sneer when he mentioned Goryeo, so Emperor Wen Yuan would listen to their nonsense.
"It's not as good as it was before. What does the Holy One mean?" Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel a headache thinking about North Korea and South Korea in the future. In fact, he personally doesn't like China's neighboring countries, from Russia to Japan, from North Korea to India, Including countries such as Vietnam, sometimes he feels that he can be regarded as an angry youth. "Of course the Holy Majesty won't agree. I'm afraid that in the end we will have a verbal fight with the Ministry of Rites and the old guys from Honglu Temple. It really is endless." Thinking of these, Hu Ji felt uncomfortable for a while, but Jia Zhen sighed Tone, don't say anything, compared to the pitiful situation in the Qing Dynasty, the people here are more lovely, at least not to the point where thousands of horses are silent and mournful.He remembered who said that a country with great ideas has the power to keep moving forward, at least not bad for now.
"That's enough, that's enough, we have to eat food bite by bite, this reform is not something that happens overnight, it takes a lot of work." Jia Zhen took another sip of tea before sighing leisurely, "We can only do our best. "Bo Xi, you also studied those sage's skills, and you took the imperial examination route, why don't you see that you are like those guys." Hu Ji straightened up, and he stayed in this court for only two years , I already feel as if I have been here for ten years, and people are getting old. "Don't forget, in the eyes of those old guys, I'm not a stranger. You've forgotten that my family is well-known among nobles." Jia Zhen shook her head and said.Speaking of which, he was so careful about the homework of his two sons, not only because he was afraid that they would not realize it, but also because he was afraid that they would become stupid after reading those books. Then he would have no time to cry, and he would have to practice more when he returned home. Two brats, tsk tsk, think of Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" and "Scream", sometimes he can't help but feel shuddering and creepy.
However, Hu Ji's words still remind Jia Zhen, isn't it said that a strong youth makes a country strong?Instead of sighing, it is better to start with these Jinshi, at least not like those stubborn old people who are completely out of the same dimension and unable to communicate. "That's true, but Bo Xi, you have to pay close attention to this group of Jinshi." Hu Ji patted his good colleague on the shoulder, and the two continued to bury their heads in the official documents again.
These days Liu Hongfei and Prince Li have started to get busy again, especially Liu Hongfei, although he doesn't talk much, but he is proficient in several languages. These envoys are certainly here to pay tribute, but they may not come to test the Great Yang Dynasty. As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, his pressure is still very high. Now he often runs to Honglu Temple and Siyi Pavilion to read some books.In fact, Jia Zhen had some connections with Zheng Hedi's confidantes, but she didn't have much friendship with this Liu Hongfei. "Master Jia, please excuse me, I have something to say to you." One day at court, Liu Hongfei stopped Jia Zhen with a gentle and courteous demeanor. "Lord Liu is too polite, just tell me if you have something to say." Jia Zhen was very polite, speaking of Liu Hongfei's official rank was higher than his. "I see." Jia Zhen couldn't help but nodded after listening to Liu Hongfei's explanation. "I knew Mr. Jia would agree." Liu Hongfei smiled lightly. As the Minister of Rites, he has been exposed to these books by foreigners on weekdays. The more he reads, the more he feels a little panicked. Most of the officials under him think these books It's just a bluff.If you want to deal with foreigners, you should first know yourself and your enemy.
In normal times, Liu Hongfei would definitely not have approached Jia Zhen hastily. He just looked at Jia Zhen's actions and made Liu Hongfei feel that it might not be impossible to entrust this matter to Jia Zhen.In fact, Jia Zhen also had the same idea, but he was not familiar with the Ministry of Rites. Even if he wanted to choose some books for these scholars to read, he didn't know where to start. When he fell asleep, someone brought him a pillow.
Jia Zhen's English is not bad, but it is still very difficult to understand the current English books. After all, the usage is still very different from his time, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings without professional translators.However, for those simple things, Jia Zhen can barely piece them together by relying on the basic knowledge in her memory and the remaining English knowledge. If she hasn’t touched it for decades, she has almost forgotten it. What can barely make Jia Zhen proud is that His pronunciation is relatively accurate, and in Liu Hongfei's words, he learned relatively quickly.Jia Zhen couldn't help complaining in her heart. I was a good boy who passed the fourth and sixth grades and passed the IELTS test. Now I have completely returned to the pre-liberation and have to start from the beginning. This kind of cheating feeling, It cannot be expressed in words.
Liu Hongfei had a better impression of Jia Zhen. Liu's family was well-educated, so he would inevitably look down on Jia Zhen, who can be regarded as a family with mud legs and slowly transforming. Although Jia Zhen's hard work has changed him a lot, but such a Even Liu Hongfei was surprised by his ability to accept, but he hid his surprise well in his heart. "Brother Boxi's ability really impresses me." Liu Hongfei couldn't help but smiled and said. "Hahaha, I really admire Shihuai's ability." Jia Zhen smiled heartily. He also had a good impression of Liu Hongfei. He was a bit bookish, but his mind was still quite open. "Then I'll leave everything to Brother Boxi." Liu Hongfei was quite satisfied with the qualifications of the Scholars this time, but he didn't know if he could have a huge surprise at that time. "Do your best, do your best. If you don't understand anything, you have to ask Brother Pelliot for advice." Jia Zhen was very satisfied with the books recommended by Liu Hongfei. Anyway, what books did her two sons read at home? It just so happens that he pretends to be a public servant for a while, and let them open their eyes to see the world. Foreigners are the real confidant.
Jia Zhen attaches great importance to these Jinshi, no matter how busy she is every day, at least one hour is set aside for these Jinshi.These Jinshi were still a little cautious at first, but now they are completely relaxed, especially Zhang Zuo, who can be said to be no big or small with Jia Zhen, and often discusses with Jia Zhen with books, especially this time Jia Zhen wants them to Even Wu Zicheng was very interested in some of the western science and technology books I read. Jia Zhen asked Liu Hongfei for advice, and at the same time discussed with these students.Jia Zhu is relatively difficult to accept in this regard, but the advantage is that she is young, and Jia Zhen is a role model, and she studies hard.Jia Zhen began to think about whether to add another class to her home school, but it was really hard to find such a teacher.
Jia Zhen didn't want to find a missionary. Although he himself respected ghosts and gods, he was an atheist after all. If there were a group of Catholic fanatics in his family, would he be able to live on?However, the Chu family soon came to complain to him. A Western clock at home was demolished by his youngest son. It is not that the Chu family cares about this Western clock. It's not that it's considered a treasure, it's just that the son is so tough and needs to be educated.Jia Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this, and went to the study when Jia Wei was mentioned, Jia Mao was a little worried and followed.
"Father, I was wrong." Jia Wei saw that Jia Zhen didn't look angry, he leaned on his father obediently, and apologized.Jia Mao also helped his younger brother to speak, anyway, no one is important, isn't it? "I'm not angry, I just want to ask you, what did you find after dismantling it?" Jia Zhen raised her mouth slightly, pointing to a pile of gathered parts. "Father, what those books said is true. With these gears and crankshafts, you can make such a fine thing." Jia Wei was young, and although Jia Zhen was as strict with her two sons, she still had Zhang Youchi, so the father and son had a happy relationship. Seeing what Jia Zhen said, Jia Wei hurriedly said that it took a lot of effort for him to remove the clock. Of course, he also dragged his elder brother into the water, and the three of them were father and son. We studied together.
"Since the two of you dismantled the clock, you two should restore it to its original state. I don't ask too much, as long as it can walk." Of course, Jia Zhen could see that Jia Mao was actually involved in it, otherwise Jia Wei would have How could the boy get this Western clock so easily. "No way, father, there are so many parts, and I have almost forgotten my son." Jia Wei was the first to dismantle the bell, and he couldn't help but grimace, there are hundreds of parts. "It's okay, let Brother Yang come to look for the blueprint, and the rest of you brothers can think about it slowly, and I will give you three months." Jia Zhen is still in a good mood, and this matter is just for him to see. See if your eldest son has grown up?
"Let me tell you about Brother Hui, why are you taking it so lightly?" Chu said coquettishly. "It's okay, boy, I think Brother Hui really likes these things. Anyway, he didn't delay his homework, so there's no harm in letting him study." Jia Zhen knows Chu's thoughts. High, these are not even toys, but they will make people playful and discouraged. "That's all, that's all, it's up to you." Seeing Jia Zhen like this, the Chu family didn't force it. Brother Hui is the second son, so it doesn't matter, and it is indeed as Jia Zhen said, as long as the homework is not missed, it is okay to be more indulgent. Let it go.
Jia Mao did not disappoint Jia Zhen. Through the friends he made, he got the blueprints from the missionary in the capital, and even had a chat with the missionary. Of course, in terms of belief, although the missionary was very enthusiastic, Jia Mao Still thank you for not being sensitive, these foreign priests are really too fanatical in some aspects.Jia Wei was very happy when he got the blueprint, and put a lot of effort into it. Although the clock was not moving accurately, it still managed to change it from a pile of parts to its original appearance.After dismantling the clock this time, Jia Wei became more courageous. Anyway, as long as it doesn’t affect his homework, his father won’t say much, so basically all the western decorations in the mansion were ruined by this boy, as small as a pocket watch. , as big as a Western-style ship, this kid will never fail to dismantle it. As for Jia Mao, who was troubled by his younger brother, he didn't find him less books on these topics. Although he was not particularly interested in these things, he still knows better than others , and often contact with these things, and dealing with some people of all kinds of teachings, his vision has been broadened a lot, and his skills have also improved.Of course, Jia Zhen didn't expect that her unintentional move would lead her youngest son to become a talent in shipbuilding and join the Ministry of Industry in the future.
"It seems that this foreigner is quite capable." Liang Min said, they have learned a lot this month, especially these books that they don't usually see made them dumbfounded.Jia Zhen is very satisfied that these Jinshi have a sense of crisis. He is not in charge of teaching, he just talks about things in the court with these Jinshi, listens to their thoughts and opinions, and occasionally makes comments. Arguing with these Jinshi, there is a big difference in age and experience between them, so there will be a big difference in the perspective of the problem. "So we need to extract the essence and discard the dross. It's a pity that we have few talents in this area." Wu Zicheng sighed. "Take your time. Talents also need to be cultivated slowly. There is no rush. With you now, there will be more talents in the future. The waves behind the Yangtze River will push the waves ahead." Jia Zhen smiled and said, "But it makes me I'm glad that no matter what happened this month, you still gritted your teeth and persisted in those exercises."
"My lord, those people you arranged to teach us are really ruthless. We run circles, ride horses, and shoot arrows every day, but we are exhausted. In the first few days, my arms and legs can't bear it. It's like peeling off the skin. , It’s even more troublesome than during the imperial examination.” Geng Qing said, and turned around to greet other companions, “Do you think so?” With such a body, I'm afraid you will be tossed to death before you reach your destination." Jia Zhen changed her sitting position, laughed, and said.
"My lord, at first we thought you were trying to torment us. You are a Lianjiazi, but we are not." A shy Jinshi said. "It's too late for you to become Lianjiazi now, how hard is your body?" Jia Zhen patted the Jinshi's shoulder and joked, "Success, prepare well for the exam tomorrow, I won't I hope some of you will be dismissed." "Don't worry, my lord, no matter what, we must be worthy of ourselves, and we must not lose face." A person named Chen Li said.
"As for what you think, why don't you come and listen?" After Jia Zhen let the officials of the Imperial College leave, she turned to the 88 Jinshi. "I think your lord wants to find out the details of us people so that we can make arrangements in the future." Zhang Zuo bowed and said. "Smart, you are all smart people. I think you have seen in the past three days that the ministries are short of manpower. This is a good opportunity." Jia Zhen sat back on the head again, with a calm expression, and said.All the Jinshi lowered their heads, waiting for the servant to continue.
"In the next three months, in the first month, officials from various ministries will teach you your skills, and you will be evaluated at the end of the month. If you do not perform well, you will not be hired. The remaining two months will be based on your respective strengths and performance. , special lectures, two evaluations at the end of the month, those who do not perform well will also not be hired. In addition, there will be an hour of martial arts every day, teaching horse riding, etc. You must not be absent, and it will also be recorded in the evaluation. Employment. The six arts of a gentleman cannot be neglected." Jia Zhen explained to the 88 Jinshi below with a solemn expression.
All the Scholars in front of "this" could accept it, but the last one, they couldn't help turning pale and looking at Jia Zhen.Geng Qing boldly said: "My lord, I don't know how to evaluate this last item. Everyone's situation is different." Just the best." Jia Zhen naturally knew that quite a few of the 88 people were in poor health, and he didn't intend to treat these scholars with the standards of sergeants, but if he said it now, some people would not take it seriously. Then it will be difficult to handle.
Jia Zhen looked at the cautious appearance of these Jinshi in front of her, and she was not in a hurry. Anyway, he was the chief person in charge of the education of this batch of Jinshi.

There are too many things to do, but he has already Somewhat like an old man's mood.
"How is things going?" Hu Ji joked when he saw Jia Zhen. "It's done pretty well. I'm afraid that group of officials from the Imperial College will never end with me." Jia Zhen said, ordering someone to offer herself a cup of tea. "Aren't we offending too few people? What else can those guys do other than talk? By the way, in two months, Qianxiang Kingdom and they will come to pay tribute again. The Ministry of Rites is busy, of course not only the Ministry of Rites, Siyi Pavilion and Honglu Temple are going to be very busy, and we will definitely have to ask for someone." Hu Ji said with a sigh. "The matter of paying tribute is extremely important, so naturally we have to keep an eye on the Ministry of Rites first. There is no need to worry about the Siyi Pavilion and Honglu Temple, but the Ministry of Rites is the only thing to worry about.

The century-old humiliation is something that no Chinese can forget.
"Bo Xi, what's wrong with you? I see something wrong with your expression!" Hu Ji waved his hand in front of Jia Zhen, and then called Jia Zhen's spirit back. "I was just thinking that Shuqi might get angry again, and he might make trouble for Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry." Jia Zhen changed the subject, this is not his time and space, but there is something with him He has an indescribable and incessant relationship. "No, he also suggested that His Majesty send officials to go to Fanbang. You know that although our navy is strong, it is not as good as other countries because of Emperor Wenyuan. His Majesty did not agree, but said that now is not the right time. It’s ridiculous, you know Goryeo, it’s only been here three months ago, and it’s coming this time, it’s said that they respect our Ocean Dynasty very much, how can they respect them, it’s clear that they’re not here to get money from us.” Hu Ji couldn't help but sneer when he mentioned Goryeo, so Emperor Wen Yuan would listen to their nonsense.
"It's not as good as it was before. What does the Holy One mean?" Jia Zhen couldn't help but feel a headache thinking about North Korea and South Korea in the future. In fact, he personally doesn't like China's neighboring countries, from Russia to Japan, from North Korea to India, Including countries such as Vietnam, sometimes he feels that he can be regarded as an angry youth. "Of course the Holy Majesty won't agree. I'm afraid that in the end we will have a verbal fight with the Ministry of Rites and the old guys from Honglu Temple. It really is endless." Thinking of these, Hu Ji felt uncomfortable for a while, but Jia Zhen sighed Tone, don't say anything, compared to the pitiful situation in the Qing Dynasty, the people here are more lovely, at least not to the point where thousands of horses are silent and mournful.He remembered who said that a country with great ideas has the power to keep moving forward, at least not bad for now.
"That's enough, that's enough, we have to eat food bite by bite, this reform is not something that happens overnight, it takes a lot of work." Jia Zhen took another sip of tea before sighing leisurely, "We can only do our best. "Bo Xi, you also studied those sage's skills, and you took the imperial examination route, why don't you see that you are like those guys." Hu Ji straightened up, and he stayed in this court for only two years , I already feel as if I have been here for ten years, and people are getting old. "Don't forget, in the eyes of those old guys, I'm not a stranger. You've forgotten that my family is well-known among nobles." Jia Zhen shook her head and said.Speaking of which, he was so careful about the homework of his two sons, not only because he was afraid that they would not realize it, but also because he was afraid that they would become stupid after reading those books.

Two brats, tsk tsk, think of Mr. Lu Xun's "Diary of a Madman" and "Scream", sometimes he can't help but feel shuddering and creepy.
However, Hu Ji's words still remind Jia Zhen, isn't it said that a strong youth makes a country strong?Instead of sighing, it is better to start with these Jinshi, at least not like those stubborn old people who are completely out of the same dimension and unable to communicate. "That's true, but Bo Xi, you have to pay close attention to this group of Jinshi." Hu Ji patted his good colleague on the shoulder, and the two continued to bury their heads in the official documents again.
These days Liu Hongfei and Prince Li have started to get busy again, especially Liu Hongfei, although he doesn't talk much, but he is proficient in several languages. These envoys are certainly here to pay tribute, but they may not come to test the Great Yang Dynasty. As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, his pressure is still very high. Now he often runs to Honglu Temple and Siyi Pavilion to read some books.In fact, Jia Zhen had some connections with Zheng Hedi's confidantes, but she didn't have much friendship with this Liu Hongfei. "Master Jia, please excuse me, I have something to say to you." One day at court, Liu Hongfei stopped Jia Zhen with a gentle and courteous demeanor. "Lord Liu is too polite, just tell me if you have something to say." Jia Zhen was very polite, speaking of Liu Hongfei's official rank was higher than his. "I see." Jia Zhen couldn't help but nodded after listening to Liu Hongfei's explanation. "I knew Mr. Jia would agree." Liu Hongfei smiled lightly.

Jia Zhen's English is not bad, but it is still very difficult to understand the current English books. After all, the usage is still very different from his time, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings without professional translators.However, for those simple things, Jia Zhen can barely piece them together by relying on the basic knowledge in her memory and the remaining English knowledge.

Liu Hongfei had a better impression of Jia Zhen. Liu's family was well-educated, so he would inevitably look down on Jia Zhen, who can be regarded as a family with mud legs and slowly transforming. Although Jia Zhen's hard work has changed him a lot, but such a Even Liu Hongfei was surprised by his ability to accept, but he hid his surprise well in his heart. "Brother Boxi's ability really impresses me." Liu Hongfei couldn't help but smiled and said. "Hahaha, I really admire Shihuai's ability." Jia Zhen smiled heartily. He also had a good impression of Liu Hongfei. He was a bit bookish, but his mind was still quite open. "Then I'll leave everything to Brother Boxi." Liu Hongfei was quite satisfied with the qualifications of the Scholars this time, but he didn't know if he could have a huge surprise at that time. "Do your best, do your best. If you don't understand anything, you have to ask Brother Pelliot for advice." Jia Zhen was very satisfied with the books recommended by Liu Hongfei. Anyway, what books did her two sons read at home? It just so happens that he pretends to be a public servant for a while, and let them open their eyes to see the world. Foreigners are the real confidant.
Jia Zhen attaches great importance to these Jinshi, no matter how busy she is every day, at least one hour is set aside for these Jinshi.These Jinshi were still a little cautious at first, but now they are completely relaxed, especially Zhang Zuo, who can be said to be no big or small with Jia Zhen, and often discusses with Jia Zhen with books, especially this time Jia Zhen wants them to Even Wu Zicheng was very interested in some of the western science and technology books I read. Jia Zhen asked Liu Hongfei for advice, and at the same time discussed with these students.Jia Zhu is relatively difficult to accept in this regard, but the advantage is that she is young, and Jia Zhen is a role model, and she studies hard.Jia Zhen began to think about whether to add another class to her home school, but it was really hard to find such a teacher.
Jia Zhen didn't want to find a missionary. Although he himself respected ghosts and gods, he was an atheist after all. If there were a group of Catholic fanatics in his family, would he be able to live on?However, the Chu family soon came to complain to him. A Western clock at home was demolished by his youngest son. It is not that the Chu family cares about this Western clock. It's not that it's considered a treasure, it's just that the son is so tough and needs to be educated.Jia Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard this, and went to the study when Jia Wei was mentioned, Jia Mao was a little worried and followed.
"Father, I was wrong." Jia Wei saw that Jia Zhen didn't look angry, he leaned on his father obediently, and apologized.Jia Mao also helped his younger brother to speak, anyway, no one is important, isn't it? "I'm not angry, I just want to ask you, what did you find after dismantling it?" Jia Zhen raised her mouth slightly, pointing to a pile of gathered parts. "Father, what those books said is true. With these gears and crankshafts, you can make such a fine thing." Jia Wei was young, and although Jia Zhen was as strict with her two sons, she still had Zhang Youchi, so the father and son had a happy relationship. Seeing what Jia Zhen said, Jia Wei hurriedly said that it took a lot of effort for him to remove the clock. Of course, he also dragged his elder brother into the water, and the three of them were father and son. We studied together.
"Since the two of you dismantled the clock, you two should restore it to its original state. I don't ask too much, as long as it can walk." Of course, Jia Zhen could see that Jia Mao was actually involved in it, otherwise Jia Wei would have How could the boy get this Western clock so easily. "No way, father, there are so many parts, and I have almost forgotten my son." Jia Wei was the first to dismantle the bell, and he couldn't help but grimace, there are hundreds of parts. "It's okay, let Brother Yang come to look for the blueprint, and the rest of you brothers can think about it slowly, and I will give you three months." Jia Zhen is still in a good mood, and this matter is just for him to see. See if your eldest son has grown up?
"Let me tell you about Brother Hui, why are you taking it so lightly?" Chu said coquettishly. "It's okay, boy, I think Brother Hui really likes these things. Anyway, he didn't delay his homework, so there's no harm in letting him study." Jia Zhen knows Chu's thoughts. High, these are not even toys, but they will make people playful and discouraged. "That's all, that's all, it's up to you." Seeing Jia Zhen like this, the Chu family didn't force it. Brother Hui is the second son, so it doesn't matter, and it is indeed as Jia Zhen said, as long as the homework is not missed, it is okay to be more indulgent. Let it go.
Jia Mao did not disappoint Jia Zhen. Through the friends he made, he got the blueprints from the missionary in the capital, and even had a chat with the missionary. Of course, in terms of belief, although the missionary was very enthusiastic, Jia Mao Still thank you for not being sensitive, these foreign priests are really too fanatical in some aspects.Jia Wei was very happy when he got the blueprint, and put a lot of effort into it. Although the clock was not moving accurately, it still managed to change it from a pile of parts to its original appearance.After dismantling the clock this time, Jia Wei became more courageous. Anyway, as long as it doesn’t affect his homework, his father won’t say much, so basically all the western decorations in the mansion were ruined by this boy, as small as a pocket watch. , as big as a Western-style ship, this kid will never fail to dismantle it. As for Jia Mao, who was troubled by his younger brother, he didn't find him less books on these topics. Although he was not particularly interested in these things, he still knows better than others , and often contact with these things, and dealing with some people of all kinds of teachings, his vision has been broadened a lot, and his skills have also improved.Of course, Jia Zhen didn't expect that her unintentional move would lead her youngest son to become a talent in shipbuilding and join the Ministry of Industry in the future.
"It seems that this foreigner is quite capable." Liang Min said, they have learned a lot this month, especially these books that they don't usually see made them dumbfounded.Jia Zhen is very satisfied that these Jinshi have a sense of crisis. He is not in charge of teaching, he just talks about things in the court with these Jinshi, listens to their thoughts and opinions, and occasionally makes comments. Arguing with these Jinshi, there is a big difference in age and experience between them, so there will be a big difference in the perspective of the problem. "So we need to extract the essence and discard the dross. It's a pity that we have few talents in this area." Wu Zicheng sighed. "Take your time. Talents also need to be cultivated slowly. There is no rush. With you now, there will be more talents in the future. The waves behind the Yangtze River will push the waves ahead." Jia Zhen smiled and said, "But it makes me I'm glad that no matter what happened this month, you still gritted your teeth and persisted in those exercises."
"My lord, those people you arranged to teach us are really ruthless. We run circles, ride horses, and shoot arrows every day, but we are exhausted. In the first few days, my arms and legs can't bear it. It's like peeling off the skin. , It’s even more troublesome than during the imperial examination.” Geng Qing said, and turned around to greet other companions, “Do you think so?” With such a body, I'm afraid you will be tossed to death before you reach your destination." Jia Zhen changed her sitting position, laughed, and said.
"My lord, at first we thought you were trying to torment us. You are a Lianjiazi, but we are not." A shy Jinshi said. "It's too late for you to become Lianjiazi now, how hard is your body?" Jia Zhen patted the Jinshi's shoulder and joked, "Success, prepare well for the exam tomorrow, I won't I hope some of you will be dismissed." "Don't worry, my lord, no matter what, we must be worthy of ourselves, and we must not lose face." A person named Chen Li said.
