Xishan, where Liu Jin lives and works.

Liu Jin looked at the three cheap apprentices in front of him who had won the bet in Mochiyue Tower, Huang Jinquan, Tong Yuan, and Lin Shuhong, these days, these three cheap apprentices of his have been following him.

On the one hand, Liu Jin also took out some knowledge of later generations to fool his three apprentices, and on the other hand, he also let his three apprentices help him work for free.

There is no way, Xishan Coal Industry is getting bigger and bigger, and Emperor Hongzhi doesn't care about it, so he sent a few little eunuchs over, but he is responsible for calculating the monthly income, as for the money, he is on the capital side, and he is responsible for the sales link.

The real core production management link is still Liu Jin is in charge, although there are many guys and accounts left on the side of Qian Youcai, but there is still a shortage of manpower, and more importantly, Liu Jin needs some scholars to do things for himself.

For example, to give their own employees night classes, teach them to know some simple words, arithmetic and other knowledge, even if they are powerful, it is also a doppelganger, it is impossible to cover everything, so there are these three cheap apprentices, if you don't make good use of it, it is really a tyrannical thing.

Huang Jinquan reads the Four Books and Five Classics best, so he can write beautiful articles, Tong Yuan and Lin Shuhong Four Books and Five Classics are very average, Liu Jin even suspects that they are on the road to the imperial examination, and Xiucai is almost the end.

However, Tong Yuan is very interested in mathematics, and his talent in mathematics is very good, he can teach many things and understand them as soon as he learns, which also makes Liu Jin look at him with admiration.

As for Lin Shuhong, he likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, and is particularly interested in astronomy and geography, and he is also very fast in this regard, so that Liu Jin sometimes can't find anything to teach him, because he is also half a pot of water.

"Shuhong, have you really decided?"

Liu Jin looked at Lin Shuhong and asked very seriously.

"Teacher, I really decided, how much level I have, I am still very self-aware, I am lucky to be able to be admitted to Xiucai, and continuing to take the road of scientific research will definitely only be in vain, so it is better to extinguish this idea as soon as possible, and transfer my energy to other things while I am young."

"Teacher, you said that this world is very big and beautiful, and there are many, many places worth walking and seeing, so I also want to go out and have a look."

"This trip to the Golden Continent is an excellent opportunity, I really want to see everything on this side of the Golden Continent, and I ask for my teacher's permission."

Lin Shuhong said very firmly.

To make this decision, he also thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and wrote to his family, and discussed it with his parents many times, his parents naturally resolutely disagreed, but he still decided to go to the Golden Continent to have a look.

"It's okay, you have learned a lot of astronomy and geography with me these days, and you have also learned a lot about navigation, and if you are in this fleet to the Golden Continent, I am much more assured."

Liu Jin pondered for a while, thought about it, and finally nodded.

Now that Emperor Hongzhi has sent the current crown prince, Zhu Houzhao, to take charge of this matter, Du Mingen's side has also raised enough funds to come to the capital, and it is estimated that the fleet to the Golden Continent will soon be organized.

"This trip to the Golden Continent is actually not a way out, all roads lead to Beijing, and there may be unexpected gains."

Thinking of Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin also smiled and said.

As long as this fleet can successfully reach the Golden Continent and bring back three high-yield crops, plus a batch of gold and silver, Emperor Hongzhi will definitely not be stingy with rewards at that time, maybe this Lin Shuhong will be able to become an official as soon as he returns, which is faster than taking the road of the imperial examination.

"Thank you~"

got Liu Jin's affirmative answer, and Lin Shuhong also thanked Liu Jin.

"Well~ Let's go back after packing up these days, spend the New Year at home, spend more time with my family, to be honest, when will I be able to come back when I go to the Golden Continent, even if it is me, I don't have any confidence in my heart."

Liu Jin nodded, thought about it and said, "If you regret it and don't want to go, or if your parents, wife and children oppose it, you can tell me, it's okay if we don't go." ”

"Teacher, I have made up my mind, with what you said, I don't go to hell, who is like hell, there is always someone in this world who takes the lead in eating crabs first, if Shennong didn't taste the herbs back then, we don't know which ones can be used as medicine now, and those are poisonous."

"Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, I will arrive at the Golden Continent and bring back the three high-yield crops of the Golden Continent for your mentor, so that all the people who laugh at your mentor will shut up."

Lin Shuhong's tone was very firm, obviously Wang Ba ate the scales and was iron-hearted.

During this period of time, everything Liu Jin did and talked about on the Moon Tower also spread, some people's eyes were bright, as if they had seen a new world at once, and some people laughed at Liu Jin, saying that he was talking nonsense and bewitching the public.

However, as a disciple of Liu Jin, Lin Shuhong has learned a lot, a lot of knowledge during this time, through this knowledge, he knows that his teacher must be not wrong, he firmly believes this, and he is even more admired by Liu Jin, and recognizes this teacher who is younger than himself from the bottom of his heart.

"Didn't I say it many times, this is not for me to bring back three high-yield crops, but for the sake of our Ming people, for everyone in my Ming Dynasty to be able to eat enough."

When Liu Jin heard this, he hurriedly corrected and said, bringing back three high-yield crops for himself and three high-yield crops for thousands of people in the world, this is a completely different level, if he really succeeds in the future, this Lin Shuhong may still be able to rely on this to be an official and a half-job.

"Yes, what the teacher taught is to bring back three high-yield crops for the people of the Ming Dynasty~"

Lin Shuhong nodded again and again.

"Well, that's right, we must raise our own realm in doing things, and we can't be too low-level in doing things and being a person."

Liu Jin is very good as a teacher, and he talks a lot and a set, as for whether he can do it or not, Liu Jin himself doesn't know, but his three students are now brainwashed very successfully, and they all take the world as their own responsibility, which is very big.

"Follow the teacher's teaching~"

When Huang Jinquan, Tong Yuan, and Lin Shuhong heard this, they also hurriedly said respectfully.

"Well, let's go, let's go to night class, remember to sum up the experience."

Liu Jin nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal them to go about their own business.
