Time flies, and the beginning of winter is about to enter. Emperor Kangxi and other brigades rushed to the capital and finally returned to the capital before the gold ceremony.After getting the news, the princes and ministers felt that they were waiting in the suburbs of Beijing early in the morning to welcome Shengjia.

As soon as the convoy entered the outskirts of Beijing, many people found that the ground was easy to use. They didn't know how the Ministry of Industry made it. Looking around, it looked like a large piece of natural stone bricks, which had to be cut and laid flat on the ground without passing through. Walking on it is not smooth, and you can't feel any bumps.

Emperor Kangxi heard the exclamation from outside, lifted the curtain and looked out. This is probably the cement mentioned in the letter from the fourth child.Immediately, he called to stop the imperial carriage, and got out of the car to check it himself. When the emperor stopped in front, other people could still sit in the carriage safely, and they also got out of the car one after another. My son was beating on the cement floor with something.

At this moment, I am very surprised by this rock-hard ground, but as a prince who grew up in the royal family at the center of political power, he has been carefully cultivated and quickly realized the benefits and significance of this thing. The four brothers presented this Cement is really a good thing for Qing Dynasty.The raw materials needed are not expensive, and they are perfect for paving roads, repairing embankments and building houses.

On the spot, I sincerely congratulated my Ama.

Although King Zhijun was slow to react, he quickly realized the value of cement, glared at the prince, and followed suit to congratulate him.

The ministers next to him were getting better at it one by one, and all the subtleties were forgotten by them at the moment, and the rainbow fart shot was full of literary talent and disgusting.

When they came to welcome them, the princes and ministers who had been blowing the cold wind for a long time, including Lin Zizhen, saw a scene that surprised them from a distance. They saw the emperor and a group of ministers walking slowly on the cement road, towards them. come.The carriage used by Shengjia, the team instrument, and the carriages of other princes and ministers followed behind the group of people empty.

Thinking back to when the roads in central Beijing were paved with concrete, many ordinary people were like this. When they are free every day, they like to walk back and forth on the concrete floor. Even in the evening, the elderly people still like to sit on the ground. On the concrete floor, one person is holding a large bowl of earthenware pot, drinking water while talking about the mountains.

For this reason, the government also sent some yamen guards to persuade the people, just look at the freshness for a few days, and don't wander on the road every day when you are idle, blocking the road.However, after persuasion, the road has indeed improved a lot, but everyone's habit of resting and chatting on the concrete floor at night has not changed.

So, seeing this scene now, for some reason, they saw the same expression on Huang Ama's face as the common people before.

Up to the third child and down to the fourteenth child, in the minds of many princes, there is a strange unified brain wave. Although it is disrespectful, but I don’t know why, but I feel very happy in my heart. I can see this scene and drink it together in the morning. The cold wind is also worth it.

In order to hide their uneasiness, the princes couldn't help but become more courteous when they saw their Royal Ama.Emperor Kangxi's heart softened. It is natural for children to rely on their father. See how long he has been away. How many children miss him.

This situation of father's kindness and son's filial piety can be regarded as happy and harmonious in a short time.

.........

The Daqing Technical School not far from the outskirts of Beijing has been completed.

Because Lin Zi really made preparations early on, spent a lot of effort, and found teachers in various subjects. In order to invite these teachers, Lin Zi really ran and broke his legs.

Fortunately, after Emperor Kangxi came back from outside the Great Wall, he invited himself to join the Ministry of Rites because of the credit of the cement. He wanted to set up the Daqing Technical School, and soon got the approval of Emperor Kangxi. Pin, doctor, among the younger generation, is the fastest promoted.

It's not that no one is jealous, but Lin Zizhen can't stand it. Not only is the background strong, and the fourth prince is behind him, but also the magic is that everyone knows that this guy is a real fourth master party, but he can be in a different camp with others. Prince, we have a good relationship.

Even the emperor seems to value this guy very much.

Without catching this guy's real handle, they dare not do it easily, otherwise they will not be able to pull him down, but will only be disgusted by the superiors.

At the moment, I can only comfort myself. Although Lin Zi is really promoted quickly, he is short-sighted. If he does not stay in the Imperial Academy, he must go to the Ministry of Rites and become a doctor in charge of the school.Otherwise, with his condition, as long as he manages well in Hanlin for a few more years, he will either enter the cabinet in the future, or be sent to a provincial or state shepherd.

That is no better than being in the Ministry of Rites. Once you enter the Ministry of Rites system, if you want to be promoted in the future, most of them can only go up.

Lin Zizhen doesn't care about other people's thoughts. When the material is guaranteed, he wants to do some things he wants to do.

Although he didn't have that much desire for power, but at a young age, he took the position equivalent to the director of the Ministry of Education in his previous life. Isn't this high enough?

He is very satisfied with his current life.

In addition to being responsible for his own work, Lin Zizhen also manages the major official schools and private schools that are on the record.Fortunately, he now has subordinates under his name, and there are six people in charge. Most of the time, Lin Zizhen only needs to grasp the direction, assign tasks, and finally summarize them by himself.

Other times, most of the time is spent on technical school.

The school has a total of four departments, agronomy, science and engineering, natural chemistry, economics, and medical science, which have several different majors.

When Lin Zi really managed to use a few junior high school physics textbooks that he had copied by himself, he invited the Mohists who did not know how many generations heirs to the capital, and finally tricked him into the school to become the dean of science and engineering. They didn't let any of them go, either as teachers or recommended to the Ministry of Industry.

The teachers at the school barely got it together.Agronomy teachers are easy to find. Lin Zizhen found a lot of rich old farmers after exploring the villages in the suburbs of Beijing. Don’t underestimate these old farmers. Powerful, and can also identify the weather according to various astrology, and has learned to make a simple first version of fertilizer.

Originally, these old people were willing to become teachers, not only for their salary, but also for their dignity.But when Lin Zi really wanted them to instruct and teach the students to make fertilizers, they were unwilling. For them, this was a secret recipe that their ancestors had developed over the years.

They are different from the Mohists, hoping to spread the knowledge of their own school.These ordinary people who have planted the land all their lives just want to pass it on to their descendants, so that their descendants can grow more food and fill their stomachs.

Their thinking is actually the mainstream in this society. Lin Zi really doesn't mind. Fortunately, he was prepared to take out the fertilizer recipes and related knowledge principles that he had collected. With unremitting research, initial results have also been achieved.

In this way, the school just recruited the first batch of students, and reached a cooperation with the Ministry of Households through the fertilizer formula to open a state-owned fertilizer factory and earn a sum of money.

As for the Taoist priests of the School of Chemistry, since the establishment of the Institute of Medicine, some Taoist priests who believe in alchemy have also been introduced. It can regulate the body, prolong life, and live a long life.

Many of these Taoist priests have actually touched the threshold of chemistry. After passing Lin Zizhen's inadvertent suggestions from time to time in the pharmaceutical research institute, and the books on the principles of chemistry collected there, they went from alchemy to chemical pharmaceuticals. branch.

So that the fourth master is now disillusioned with the so-called alchemy of Taoism. Although the fourth master still insists on Buddhism and Taoism, now he is more learning their theories. In fact, it involves a lot of simple materialism and Taoism. , is still very interesting.

As for the heavy metals contained in the so-called elixir, if you eat it, you will not live forever, but will only die faster.

In this way, the fourth master of this time and space will not repeat the same mistakes again, and pin his hope of extending his life in Taoist alchemy in his later years.

.........

Although the wind in March is still cold, there is no trace of snow on the ground. Only puddles of water remain in the depressions on the ground, which proves that the cold winter has come.

In the suburbs of Beijing, in Lizi Village, there is a farm family. The old Zhangtou family has lived here for three generations. He can endure hardships by relying on his lightness. Now he has finally purchased [-] acres of land in Lizi Village. What makes the Zhang family most proud is that, His old Zhang family's land does not have one mu of barren land, ten mu of good land, and eight mu of middle land.

Relying on the output of the field, Lao Zhangtou supported three sons and two girls. When the children grew up, he planned to marry his son a wife, and his daughter also married with a lot of food.Now in the blink of an eye, he only has six grandsons.

At his age, most people don't care about the family, but the big and small things in the old Zhang's family are still the old Zhang's idea.It's really his three sons, the eldest son puts all his strength, but he can't be simple and honest, his second son has a sweet mouth, he's okay with small things, but he's not good at big things, so he wants to find someone to give him advice, but it's okay .As for the young and old of his family, let’s not talk about it. When his mother gave birth to him, he fell and the child was born weak. It is not bad for a family like them to provide refined grains to support him.

For this youngest son, Lao Zhangtou is the most reluctant to let go. He is alive and well, but if he and his wife are gone, how will the old and young family live? Seeing how smart he is, could it be that he has relied on his two elder brothers for help all his life, but his two elder brothers are also limited in ability, and it is not easy to support their own family.

The only thing that can comfort him is that his six grandchildren have no brains like their father, and they are all very clever.

There was no way before, but now it's different, since he has the opportunity, he will take a gamble.

With something in mind, the old Zhang's head was tossing and turning pancakes on the bed all night. The sky was bright and the old Zhang didn't sleep well all night. Now he couldn't sleep anymore, so he punched the old Zhang's head angrily. Then he got up from the kang.

"I'm sorry, I haven't slept all night, and I keep saying that the children can't hold their breath." Old Zhang said.

The old Zhangtou, who was disliked by his wife, got up from the bed embarrassingly, and said in a low voice, "I'm not worried, are the grandchildren's things ready? I'm going to send them to that school today."

"It's up to you to say that everything that needs to be prepared is ready. There is nothing to worry about. The name has been reported. Why don't you go? The school will spare you. Such a good opportunity, why don't you go? .”

"It's just that the opportunity is so great. I'm just so excited. You see, there are many people in the village who are tempted, but very few people actually sign up. And what's more, after graduation, the children have to hand over their salary for three years. If I give half of it to the school, I am afraid that the children will not be able to find a job, and they will owe money first instead." To his old woman, Lao Zhangtou dared to express his worries.

"Don't think so much, as long as you can learn the craft, what's the matter with owed money, the big deal is that we work harder, and save more for them while we still have to work, so that we can relax for a lifetime in the future." Old Zhang said, she also Worried, the people like them are most afraid of encountering a disaster year and owed money.It's just that the old man has already made his decision, so why bother thinking about the worst.

When the two old couples left the room, in front of their three idiot sons, Lao Zhangtou returned to his usual expressionless expression.

And his three sons are also used to their father being like this, serious and dependable.

"Father, get up, Xiaofeng and the others have packed everything up. Breakfast is also ready, let's eat some before we go." Zhang Daan rubbed his hands, and said nervously to his father.

"What to eat, Xiaofeng and the others have their dry food ready?" Although the school at that time was able to say that food and housing were included, he didn't dare to believe that as long as the teachers were willing to teach the children, he would be satisfied in his heart.As for food, it should be prepared at home.So, the old man said to his eldest son.

"It's ready, and I even packed a jar of old pickles for them, so I can't lose them." The boss Zhang Da'an said.

"Then don't delay, let's go early, don't let the teacher wait, it won't be good if you leave a bad impression." After speaking, he quickly touched his face with cold water.

Called six grandchildren and watched them from low to high, the youngest was eight years old, the oldest was thirteen, and I told them a few words, when they arrived at school, they had to study hard and listen to those teachers. There is life in the inside and life in the heart, and teachers like it.

The children of the old Zhang family are very sensible and know that this opportunity is not easy to come by. After all, this school recruits students. Although it does not charge tuition fees, it requires students to persist in attending for three years and not to drop out of school easily.In the village, as long as the boys reach the age of seven or eight, they can also help the family with a lot of work.

Many people are reluctant to part with these labor forces. It sounds absurd, but it is true.For someone like Lao Zhangtou, who sent all six grandchildren in the family at one go, that is really courageous.You must know that his family has lost so much support all of a sudden, and the adults in the family must be more fortunate. But when Lao Zhangtou announced this, none of the three sons stopped him. Who doesn't want their children to have a future? good future.

Seeing that Old Zhang and the others were about to leave, Zhang Xiaoshun finally made up his mind and said, "Father, let me go with you too, I want to go and see it too."

Old Zhangtou looked at his youngest son, who was weak, and had to slow down when he was on the road with him. He couldn't help hesitating, but thinking of his father's heart, he finally nodded in agreement.

Zhang Dale next to him also took the opportunity to yell, "Father, take me with you too."

In the end, all the male members of the Zhang family went out together and went to the village to wait for someone.

Not long after they arrived, another pair of father and son came. Du Yu pulled the fat son who was eating chicken legs. When he saw the Zhang family, he greeted them warmly.

Old Zhangtou is not like the people in the village, because of what the kid from the Du family did, he treats him like a little bastard.On the contrary, he felt that the dude from the Du family was not bad.

Speaking of which, this kid from the Du family is the same as his youngest son, born weak, but their family is different, the Du family doesn't care much about this youngest son, but this kid has a lot of life, so he just eats and eats like this He also survived, but because he couldn't do any heavy work, he was not welcomed by the Du family.

But this kid is very smart, and he will plan for himself since he was a child. Seeing that the National People's Congress has grown up, he should be a wife. His parents don't care about him, so he found a wife for himself. The mistress sent a sum of money to send it out.

Just married to this kid from the Du family, and within a few months, he gave birth to a girl. At first glance, he knew it was not Du Yu's seed, but no matter what outsiders said, Du Yu didn't mind at all, and he really regarded the little girl as his own. , often drove people around his neck to go shopping, and not long after that, he gave birth to a son, and the two husband and wife lived a very good life behind closed doors.

What troubled Lao Zhang the most was that even though he had his own son, Du Yu still loved his daughter the same.

This time in the village, they were the only ones who sent their children to school.

After the two families talked for a while, they saw a simple donkey cart approaching.In addition to Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Zong were sitting in the car.

The Zhang family and Du Yu all said respectfully at this moment: "Mr. Jia, you are here."

Baoyu waved his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm not a teacher yet, so call me Assistant Teacher Jia."

Before Lao Zhangtou opened his mouth, Du Yu said sincerely: "Oh, it doesn't matter whether it is a teaching assistant or a teacher, they are all teachers. How can you not be called, so don't be humble."

At this moment, I can only follow along: "Yes, yes, and if you didn't tell us the news early on, we wouldn't be able to report."

Although many people hesitate, or don't believe it, or are reluctant to part with the labor at home, but no matter when, there are always smart and decisive people. This Daqing Institute of Technology started to recruit people. Although not many people signed up, but Lin Zizhen's number of places open to the outside world is also limited.

If the old Zhang family and the Du family were later, they might not be able to register.

"It should be, I have the task of promoting the enrollment news. If you can figure it out and enroll your child, you have a vision." Baoyu said sincerely.

The family has fallen and settled in the back of Lizi Village. Baoyu's life is muddled. He doesn't want to look at his wife who is lying in bed and suffers from illness.So Baoyu often went to sit alone on the small hill outside the village.

He often met the children of the Zhang family who came here to chop firewood, and even talked to him after coming and going. His troubles and pains were nothing to these children.

I also looked at the villagers in Lizi Village, working all year round, and the harvest is far from their hard work, but everyone is working hard to make a living.

Baoyu seems to have a feeling in his heart, Daiyu is working hard for her own words, Qingwen is busy for her dream of being in charge, everyone has their own goals and positioning, and he is still living in a daze, blindly immersed in his own emotions In the past, I never even tried to do anything.

Baoyu, who gradually figured it out, began to cheer up. There were not many books at home, so he took over the job of copying books, copying and reviewing, and at the same time tried to go out and learn how to take care of the general affairs of the farm with his grandmother.It's a pity that he really doesn't have much talent in this area.

At this time, Uncle Lin, who hadn't seen him for a long time, sent him an invitation letter, hoping that he could participate in the teaching assistant interview of the newly established technical school.

Fortunately, the miscellaneous books that Zeng Jin read are also useful. His ability to read and count, and his ability to identify rare plants gave him this opportunity.Knowing that he became the school's teaching assistant, the family, regardless of gender, age or age, was overjoyed. Even though everyone had their own plans, they still hoped for the well-being of their family members.

Especially when he proposed to send Jia Huan and Jia Zong to study, the Jia family finally experienced some changes after the house raid, and it seemed that being the master of the family was not as difficult as imagined.

This is how today, besides the six children of Zhang's family, there is also one of Du Yu's family, the children who went to school together, and Jia Huan and Jia Zong.
