The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Before He Neng went, he said with some pride: "Master, the young master of the Cheng family seems to have failed the exam. Look over there."

Yan Chengjin raised his head slightly and saw Cheng Zitang squeezed out of the crowd in a daze.

If you fail the exam, you have to wait another three years.

Cheng Zitang prepared to take the exam three years ago, but in order to avoid him, he waited for three years. Now he has to wait for another six years.

"Brother Cheng failed the exam?"

Yan Chengjin appeared behind Cheng Zitang. Cheng Zitang was a little surprised when he heard the voice. He turned back as if waking up from a dream: "Sir, I passed the exam."

After reading the list, there will be a short period of extreme excitement or extreme pain.

In such a situation, you will do abnormal things.

Yan Chengjin understands him a little.

After a while, He Neng trotted back and said with a smile: "Master, Master Xiao Song and Young Master Xie are both on the list.

Young Master Xie also passed the exam and won the first place!"

Yan Chengjin was a little surprised. Xie Pi's foundation was indeed profound. After several months of tossing science, he was still able to pass the exam and win the first place.

"Where's Song Jing?"

"Master Song... passed the exam and ranked fifth!"

If you pass the exam, you will be a Juren Master. From now on, you can no longer call Master Song, but Master.

He Neng was very happy.

"It's okay, as long as you didn't fail." Yan Chengjin got on the sedan chair and went back to the mansion.

...

Xie Mansion,

Xie Qian hugged his son and cried with joy. He couldn't stop crying and choked and cried: "Dad thought you wouldn't pass the exam, but you are so motivated..."

Xie Pi's tears fell and he said: "I have to thank Lord Yan for guessing two questions correctly."

"Why thank him? His Majesty has already changed the questions he and the prince guessed." Xie Qian wiped his tears and came back to his senses.

Xie Pi shook his head: "The child is right. After changing it, he got two questions right again."

Xie Qian was stunned.

Could it be that Wang Hua sold the questions?

Impossible, Wang Hua also has a prejudice against Yan Chengjin, even if he feeds the dog, he will not sell the question to him.

"Xiangling, accompany your mother to Baiyun Temple to burn incense tomorrow."

Xie Pi looked at his sister for help.

Xie Xiangling understood and asked unobtrusively: "Dad, our family has received the favor of Lord Yan, so why don't we go to thank him?"

"No! Don't mention it again!"

Xie Qian glared at his beloved daughter and said seriously: "If His Majesty knew that this boy had won the lottery again, he would definitely not be happy.

And this boy is extremely cautious, and he definitely doesn't want to mention it."

Xie Pi had to give up when the words came to his lips.

Zeng Mansion,

Zeng Jian smiled so hard that his old face turned red, and he felt more and more that it was the right decision to accept this disciple.

He ranked fifth in Shuntian Prefecture, which is a very good ranking.

"I will prepare a family banquet for you."

"Thank you, my dear teacher. I want to go back to Liangxiang."

Song Jing stayed in the capital for ten days. Liangxiang still had many projects and science courses to catch up.

Xie Pi came to his house to find him and attended the banquet at Xie's house.

Science godfather Song Yixian.

In fact, Song Jing was his mentor, but they were also of the same year.

"Thank you, brother Xie, for your kindness. Today, I plan to go back to Liangxiang."

Xie Pi thought about it and decided to go with him.

The news quickly spread back to Liangxiang.

Chief Engineer Song passed the imperial examination and the refugees congratulated him. It is worth mentioning that Xie Pi passed the imperial examination and won the title of Jieyuan in Shangshuntian Prefecture.

The clerks and refugees' children were excited, as if they saw themselves a few years later.

What they didn't know was that Xie Pi was not a clerk's son, but the son of Xie Qian, the cabinet minister of the dynasty.

He was just interested in the science in Liangxiang.

It was not for the quota to participate in the imperial examination.

However, Song Jing and Xie Pi did not expose him.

…

Eastern Palace,

After Zhu Houzhao was beaten in the court, he lay obediently on the bed.

Yang Yanhe came to the bedside to teach him in person for fear of delaying his studies. Zhu Houzhao could not escape and had to listen to him muttering all day.

"Master Yang, if you continue to study like this, it will aggravate my condition."

Yang Tinghe had a dark face and said seriously: "The teacher said that if there is no book for a day, everything will be in vain.

Your Highness, please stop making trouble. I will start the next lesson. Your Highness, please listen carefully."

The prince was "seriously injured" and could not go anywhere.

Now one hour of class is equivalent to two days of class.

Not only did he have to teach, but he also had to work overtime to teach.

Make up for all the lessons that the prince missed during this period in one go.

Zhu Houzhao was naturally energetic and slept all night.

Now he couldn't sleep even if he wanted to, so he had to listen to Yang Tinghe's reading.

"Your Highness, Lord Yan is here!"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes shone brightly: "Master Yang, I summoned Yan Chengjin for an important matter. Let's leave it at that for today?"

What important matter could there be? It was clearly the prince's excuse.

Yang Tinghe said: "I'll just wait on the side."

Hearing that the prince was ill, Yan Chengjin walked into the bedroom of the East Palace and saw Zhu Houzhao lying on the bed, with Yang Tinghe waiting quietly on the side.

"Your Highness summoned me here, what do you want to discuss?"

Zhu Houzhao shouted at the top of his voice: "I want to leave the palace, you help me think of a way."

Yan Chengjin looked at Yang Tinghe with a dark face, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, can't you see Lord Yang?"

The prince was really getting more and more presumptuous by plotting to leave the palace in front of him.

Yang Tinghe coughed dryly to show his majesty.

Zhu Houzhao reminded: "Master Yang, go and complain to your father."

"..." Yan Chengjin

This guy must want Yang Tinghe to go to His Majesty, so that he can be separated from the Eastern Palace.

It is said that after being beaten with a stick in the court, Zhu Houzhao lay in his bedroom.

I can't commit suicide for the time being.

Although Empress Zhang felt distressed, she also knew that educating the prince was the most important thing and did not dare to interfere.

Yang Tinghe looked elsewhere. As smart as he was, he naturally knew what tricks His Highness the Crown Prince was trying to play.

If he goes to Fengtian Palace, the prince will close the gate of the East Palace behind his back.

Zhu Houzhao said as if there was no one else around him: "Old Gao, did Song Jing win the title of Jieyuan?"

"Wei Zeng, just the fifth place in Shuntian Mansion."

"It's really disappointing. If I had known this, I would have taught him personally." Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Yan Chengjin discovered that Zhu Houzhao had called him here just to relieve his boredom. Yang Tinghe was waiting beside him, waiting impatiently.

"I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Zhu Houzhao was anxious: "Lao Gao, take Master Yang away with you."

Before Yan Chengjin walked out of the hall, he heard Yang Tinghe's lecture behind him.

Back to the house,

There were some more wooden boxes and cloth and satin in the main hall. Yan Chengjin looked at Chunxiao and asked in surprise: "Who sent them?"

"Reporting to the young master, it is Mr. Zeng and Mr. Xie." Chunxiao responded softly.

Yan Chengjin took a few steps back and took a look at Ming He Neng.

"Master, these are some calligraphy and paintings."

He Neng took out a few calligraphy and paintings from the wooden box, spread them out and looked at the signatures. The calligraphy was not worth much money.

There is only one painting, which is the Taibai Mountain painting by Wang Meng, a famous artist in the early Ming Dynasty.

Still worth some money.

"Let's hang it up in the master's room."

Dad likes to collect calligraphy and paintings. In the past, his family was poor and most of the calligraphy and paintings he collected were not famous. Now they have all been replaced.

The next morning, the glow first appeared.

After Yan Chengjin exercised, he had breakfast and prepared to go to court.

At this time, Song Jing strode into the courtyard and said with some shame: "Sir, I'm afraid Liangxiang's science program will not be able to continue."

"Why?"

After Xie Pi was admitted to Jieyuan of Shuntian Prefecture, he was rumored to be a chicken soup in Liangxiang and became an example of "fish leaping over the dragon's gate".

People's rumors became more and more crazy, and they all thought that Xie Pi was the son of a subordinate official.

Suddenly, the number of people coming to Liangxiang to study science doubled.

Today, just one vacant house in Liangxiang Shipyard cannot accommodate so many people.

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment.

Science lectures cannot always be held in a thatched cottage in a shipyard.

If you want to spread the word, you have to open a science school. In this way, the various science courses will be organized into a system.

Liangxiang is the righteous bird of the Ming Dynasty. How can there be no school in the future commercial town of Beizhili.

Now is the time when science is on the rise.

The scientific development in the West may have already taken shape. If we don’t want to be surpassed, we need to speed up the development.

After thinking about it, he ordered someone to invite Wang Yue.

Not long after, Wang Yue walked in with a smile: "What's the matter with my nephew?"

"If the official wants to open a science college in Liangxiang, how about Sir Wang being the dean?"

There are naturally many considerations in choosing Wang Yue.

Wang Yue is a shrewd and prudent person with management experience of more than 100,000 people.

Secondly, Wang Yue has endless money to spend, so he doesn't have to worry about research funding.

Wang Yue was stunned, and after a moment, he smiled flattered and said: "My good nephew praises me.

However, I am not bragging for this kind of errand. There really is no one more suitable than me. "
