Xie Fu,

Xie Pi packed up his things and was about to go to Zhongguancun in Liangxiang, Xie Xiangling pushed open the door and said angrily: "Where are you going?" Daddy is coming back. ”

"Sister, you help me stop my dad for a while, and I'll go through the back door." Xie Pi simply put his clothes into the package and prepared to leave.

This way you won't run into your own dad.

Xie Pi was carrying a burden on his back and was about to rush out of the door, but he stood at the door, not daring to move, only to see Xie Qian appear here at some point.

In the room, there are all kinds of extravagant things.

A Song astronomical telescope peeks out of the window, facing the sky.

These silvers were painless for Xie Fu, and inadvertently cultivated Xie Pi's strong interest in science.

"Where do you want to go!"

Xie Pi took a few steps back: "I want to go out and travel to increase my knowledge." ”

"Humph! Autumn is coming, scholars all over the world are immersed in hard study, you go out to travel, you want to be angry with your father! Xie Qian reprimanded: "Come on, move these things out of the house." ”

Xie Pi took a few steps back, saw the window on the side, and jumped out of the window while his father was not paying attention: "My son will definitely be admitted, sister, you can help me stop my father!" ”

When I chased him out, I couldn't see anyone.

"You cubs, all of them are disobedient." Xie Qian was angry and helpless, so he had to send someone to find Xie Pi's whereabouts.

……

Liangxiang,

Song Jing took six engineers into the workshop where he made instruments, where there were several craftsmen cutting wood.

"Master Song, what is this?"

"Printer, it's not made yet."

Song Jing continued: "The top priority is to build ships, you look at this. ”

Lifting the tarpaulin, it is a delicate treasure ship, brushed with tung oil, but this boat, only the length of an arm.

"This is a big treasure ship that can go south to sea, you guys take a closer look."

This large treasure ship, fearing that the wood of the good country will be wasted, is carefully made by craftsmen according to the scale of the drawings.

Xie Pi looked at it for a long time, and the wood used in the hull and floor of this ship was different, which was no different from the wood used in the Dabao ship.

Yan Chengjin walked

Look at the list of the first batch of engineers, Xie Pi? Isn't this Xie Qian's son?

"Who is Xie Pi?"

The six people stood in a row, and one of them stood up, bowed his hand and smiled: "The student is Xie Pi." ”

"You've been removed, go back."

"For ...... What? The student took the first place in the exam. Xie Pi's face was petrified.

"You're so good, engineers just need mediocre people."

Too good to be unsuccessful?

Xie Pi didn't react for a long time, and the five of them secretly rejoiced that they were not the first.

There was a minister's slander for the establishment of the school, and Xie Qian was involved, and it was difficult for the science department to continue.

Xie Qian is from a champion background, how can he tolerate his son not taking the imperial examination?

For the sake of prudence, before he could find it, Yan Chengjin eliminated Xie Pi first.

"Yes...... But the father coerced Lord Yan? "Dad is an elder of the Central Cabinet, and his power is higher than that of Lord Yan, Xie Pi can't help but guess.

"Let's go."

Xie Pi saw a deep loss on his face, and insisted: "The student came here with great difficulty, how can he leave because of a word from an adult!" ”

Yan Chengjin suddenly asked, "What is your dream?" ”

“？？？” Xie Pi's eyes suddenly lit up with hope.

"Dare to ask...... What is a dream? ”

Yan Chengjin looked at Song Jing on the side and asked the same words: "Yixian, what is your dream?" ”

"Not for fame and fortune, but for the benefit of the people of the world with what you have learned in your life." Song Jing replied.

A piece of magical artifacts was made from his hands, and Song Jing had a new understanding of self-cultivation and Qi family governing the country and leveling the world.

It is not only the four books and five classics that can cultivate oneself.

In addition to the teachings of the saints, there are many more truths waiting for future generations to explore.

Science is one of them, with the truth of science, you can govern the country and the world without reading the Four Books and the Five Classics.

The telescope helped the imperial court win the battle, and the workshops in Liangxiang fed tens of thousands of displaced people, which is to use the truth other than the saint to govern the country and level the world.

For science, Song Jing became more and more convinced.

"Students don't... There are no dreams. Xie Pi bowed his head in shame, he couldn't understand the life or death of the homeless, and it had nothing to do with him, he just felt that science could make interesting crafts.

After Xie Pi left, Song Jing said: "It takes hard work to be admitted, and the adults persuade him to retire, whether it is ......?"

"In the future, don't let him come to the Liangxiang Workshop again."

Yan Chengjin couldn't bear to cheat him, and he spent his time on science, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not fail in the township test.

……

Xie Fu,

Xie Qian took two days off and was anxious.

Pi'er didn't even take the package, so she fled from the house, and she had no money on her, how to eat, how to stay...... Thinking of this, he burst into tears...

"If Pi'er doesn't come back, my father will be cheeky, and he will also send the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to investigate."

Xie Xiangling regretted it a lot, and said softly: "My brother is just going out to travel, and my father is too strict on weekdays......" Seeing his father's face, he knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't dare to continue.

Xie Qian snorted coldly, and the housekeeper hurriedly walked in and said, "Master, I have searched all over the east and west cities, but I haven't seen the whereabouts of the second young master, and it seems that he is not in the capital." ”

"Daddy......"

Xie Qian's eyes were white, and he almost fainted, but at this moment, a lost figure walked in.

"Master, the second young master is back!"

Xie Qian raised his hand and made a gesture to fight, but he felt that something was wrong, his son's eyes were blank, and the boots under his feet were torn, revealing his toes.

How far did this kid go to wear out his shoes?

"Pi'er, where have you been?"

His son, which one of them is not able to speak well, seeing his son's lost soul, Xie Qian felt strange.

"I'm going back to my house." Xie Pimulan returned to the room and closed the door.

Xie Qian then followed, saw the science formula on the table, and asked, "Have you gone to Liangxiang?" ”

Seeing that his son didn't answer, Xie Qian didn't use his mouth cannon and walked out silently.

Half an hour later, Xie Qian appeared in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, described haggard, and asked Yan Chengjin: "My son Xie Pi, but I went to take the science exam, why did my temperament change greatly?" ”

"Xie Pi took the first place in the exam, and the lower officials canceled his results."

After Xie Qian heard this, he didn't get angry immediately, but asked, "What's wrong with my son?" ”

"Science is more vast and huge than Confucianism, and you can't have both, if you enter the door of science, maybe you will fail in the township test, and the next official is also for Xie Pi's sake." Song Jing was often obsessed with research and did not know the passage of time.

Xie Qian let out a long sigh and turned to leave.

……

After the beginning of spring, the ice of Caoyun melted, and the merchant ships rushed north to Liangxiang.

The merchants found that there was an extra fork in the Lugou River in the Tongzhou section, and a huge wooden sign stood on the bank: this road leads to Liangxiang.

Just one winter, the waterway in Liangxiang was opened?

In the past, merchants would go north to the wharf in Tongzhou, and then rush to Liangxiang, and the waterway was opened, so they could go directly to Liangxiang from the west.

Yan Chengjin stood at the Liangxiang Wharf, and many boats docked on the shore, this bay area is enough to accommodate more than 50 boats at the same time.

A new profession appeared at the docks, unloading sailors and miscellaneous forces.

The homeless people who can work are gathered here.

Liangxiang Yaxing, Xie Yu will be Cao boat, small yellow boat, miscellaneous boat, canopy boat, full shed boat, etc., the price of the tooth line.

There was a long queue of merchants who bought boats.

Boats from Liangxiang only need to pay the banknote tax twice, and it is more cost-effective to go from south to north than to lease ships from other shipyards.

"My lord, the corn from Hainan has been shipped back, and it will arrive in Tongzhou warehouse today." Fang Cai Jinyi Wei came to Yamen, and Zhang Xian came to the dock to inform Yan Chengjin.

Corn is back?

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to find a fast horse and go to Tongzhou Cang in person, and most of the rice and grain transported from various prefectures would be hoarded here.
