After the cold dew, the cool breeze in the morning in Beijing is already a little cold and biting, even if a sleepy-eyed person stands outside the door and is blown by this cold wind, he can instantly become very awake, at least Zhao Zhi, who has not woken up, is like this. Although he was a little nostalgic for the warm quilt, but the consciousness of being an apprentice still made him get up very early, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with his mother, he trotted to Jiang Tian's yard, he knew that his master was definitely not a person who lay in bed. Zhao Zhi, who rushed over to wait for the master to get up, found that he was still one step late, and Miss Xiyun was not only one step ahead of him, but was also rinsing his mouth with Jiang Tian at the moment.

"Nao'er is here?" Jiang Tian did a few chest expansion exercises, which can be regarded as stretching lazy tendons: "You can also rinse your mouth together." ”

For fastidious families, gargling is nothing new, but Jiang Tian's gargling here is definitely different from the ordinary wealthy family's shabu with green salt water, here is a small wooden stick planted with mane, dipped in fine salt powder and carefully brushed your teeth! At first, everyone thought that this was the blind attention of poor Xiucai, but later it was promoted by Jiang Tian to the whole house, and the money for the toothbrush was also paid by the government anyway. So every morning, one of the people in the Jiang Mansion and others flew up and down with a small brush, which was also a relatively alternative landscape among the big families in the capital.

At this time, Jiang Tian was standing beside Zhao Zhi and Xi Yun, and the servants were also holding toothbrushes carefully, and then neatly raised the teacup with a mouthful of water and muttered a few times in their mouths, and at the same time lowered their heads and spit into a spittoon on the ground. Qingshuang, who was standing in front of the door, looked at the movements of this person, and inexplicably had a very funny feeling, if people were not used to it at first, there were traces of deliberate imitation of the two small things. But now he has become accustomed to nature, and both the rhythm and the frequency of brushing his teeth have converged with Jiang Tian. Not to mention that their master's method of gargling is wonderful, they also found that their mouths are indeed much more refreshing after trying them themselves. It's just that I heard that this is not the invention of the old man, but the method of zài that has existed as early as the Song Dynasty, but it has long been no longer popular except for some special people.

Waiting for the maids to remove the toiletries, Jiang Tian's morning class to Zhao Zhi is about to start, the so-called morning class is actually Jiang Daren doing some stretching exercises to improve the spirit, and Zhao Zhi is reciting all kinds of cross talk on the side, if there is a mistake in memorizing or forgetting the words, he will be punished to write silently before breakfast. Although Zhao Zhicai learned to write some simple Chinese characters, and the characters were also written crookedly, he was already a high-level intellectual for ordinary artists. Tong Guò This incident can see the difference between Jiang Tian and others, although silent writing is also corporal punishment, he will never whip his apprentice, let alone use starvation as punishment, on the contrary, he always cares about Zhao Zhi's nutrition, for fear that this kid will not be able to eat enough.

In the ancient Chinese master-apprentice relationship, unless there are some cases with superior conditions, hunger is a nightmare that those apprentices often have to face, and it is a matter of course for apprentices to do chores for the master's house. Therefore, there are very few masters like Jiang Tian, so Zhao Zhi is very grateful that he has such a master, and at the same time, he cherishes his existing life very much.

"Hmm...... It's not bad, at least you can write this "Three Character Classic" completely, and it seems that Zhang Huan is not in vain to teach you enlightenment. Jiang Tian looked at the crooked brush words and nodded: "It's just that this character must be practiced diligently, at least it can't make people laugh." ”

In other words, Jiang Tian's own brush writing is also extremely bad, and everyone in the officialdom knows that whenever there is a twist and turn, it is Xinyue, a female apprentice, who catches the knife and writes it. In fact, Jiang Tian knew in his heart that the unsightly handwriting in the eyes of others might not be written by any young person in the future. Don't look at him as a teacher now, it is impossible for others to laugh at him in front of him, but behind his back, he has made fun of this matter. During the period from morning class to breakfast, Xi Yun had been sitting quietly on the side, and she didn't know what was so attractive about the master and apprentice, until after breakfast, Zhao Zhi was going to the teahouse opposite to help, and he was also repaying his master's kindness. And the Jiang Mansion began to operate normally for the day.

After eating breakfast today, Xi Yun did not hide in the back house as usual, but timidly grabbed the corner of Jiang Tian's clothes and asked, "Brother...... Brother, I want to be your student like Sister Xinyue, okay? ”

Jiang Tian looked at her a little surprised, didn't you see that this girl likes science before? Besides, with her basic level, at most, she started learning from the elementary class, and the grade of the centrifugal month is still far behind: "Yes...... But you haven't learned this before, so you have to learn it little by little to understand my lessons. Are you prepared for this? ”

The little girl nodded stubbornly, she firmly believed that since Xinyue could be valued by Jiang Tian, she would definitely be able to succeed in her studies, and she would be able to stay by his side every day to deal with some official business in the future. This girl's motivation for learning is naturally impure, but she also underestimates the complexity of science, and Jiang Tian will not say anything to stop her even if she knows her plan, after all, there is no harm in learning more.

Of course, Xinyue guessed the little girl's plan at the first time, but she also felt that it would be good to have one more person to share her work, outsiders thought that she was doing this schoolgirl to charm Jiang Tian, only those who have worked with Jiang Tian know that this is nonsense, not to mention how complicated Jiang Tian's work is, just the huge overwhelming drawings and drafts can make the average master unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south, where does she have time ** This man, even if she has time to throw a wink.

Because a large number of people in the advanced class graduated early, in fact, Jiang Tian's lecture time has been reduced a lot, but there are five people who will definitely not come to Jiang Mansion because there is no class to attend, or for these five people, class itself is not the goal, watching Jiang Tian solve all kinds of impossible tasks one by one can be regarded as a kind of enjoyment. But this time it's different, this time Jiang Tian is on a big deal, and the development of rocket artillery is not worth mentioning compared to this matter, because the research and development of weapons can only be regarded as Jiang Tian's sideline, no matter how shocking this weapon is, if he can't develop epoch-making things with his current status, it will be an accident. The key is that for the first time, he proposed to make drastic revisions to a certain national policy, and he also aimed at the army on his own side, and at the critical point in the large-scale reform of the country, especially during the period when the Zheng family fleet disappeared, this kind of big action against the navy was extraordinary, if it was not in the water, it was extraordinary.

Seeing his five students, Jiang Tian really didn't know what to say: "You guys are really idle, since you have nothing to do, help me." ”

Looking at the world, in addition to the emperor Zhang Tao, there is only Jiang Tian who dares to let these five people do his own thing, not only because he is nominally the teacher of these people, but in an era when the status of the elders and children is clear, unless Zhang Huan ascends the throne one day, then Jiang Tian can be proud of the world as an emperor. If in the past, everyone only thought that Jiang Tian was a pure civilian official, then since the moment he proposed the naval reform in the last dynasty, everyone finally understood that he was a monster with all-round civil and military talents like Banzai today. At the same time, there are many people who are interested in that emperor, and I really don't know if this old man is a star sent down from heaven to teach such two aliens.

Others don't mention it for the time being, Zhang Huan seems to have been touched in his heart since he learned about the notebook, and the advanced ideas that his father and master have been teaching suddenly came to his heart, he knew that he had finally grasped some kind of trick to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but he just couldn't connect those known knowledge, so he grinded his mother to allow him to extend the time limit for going out, and his bodyguard after leaving the palace could only be the sad classmate Wu Yuan. At the same time, Liu ** also received instructions from his father, must be the first time to figure out the whole picture of this reform, out of the Hu Shang's sensitive genes to trade routes, the old man knows that this seems to indicate that an era is coming, the original circulation in the Central Plains Muslims of the sea Hajj Mecca route, ** I don't know how many devout believers, but since Zheng He's battle, the fleet of the Central Plains has never returned to the Indian Ocean, he also listened to the merchants who came by land said, since the Xiyi entered the sea area, the original maritime trade was destroyedIf the Celestial Empire can revive its navy, it will definitely have a fierce competition with these guys who believe in God...... The old man's dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival is by no means something that can be realized in one or two decades, but he can afford to wait, even if he can't see that day, his son and grandson must work towards this goal. In stark contrast to him is the traditional Confucian class represented by Tian Xuhai, who originally stifled China's maritime industry out of the consideration of saving money, but there is another interpretation of this behavior in history, that is, under the system of the Ming Dynasty, most of these civil officials in power were large landowners and did not have to pay taxes, and belonged to the monopoly class that controlled the means of production and controlled the circulation channels in the small peasant economy. If the sources of trade wealth in the open sea were inevitably diversified, and the impact of foreign materials on local agriculture would be disastrous, it would be difficult for the tenants who did not control the land to be tied around the landlords, so that their monopoly economy would be broken by the emerging economy, so they used the political capital in their hands to stifle the very developed commercial economy, which was also the reason why the economy of the Ming Dynasty could not recover to the scale of the Northern Song Dynasty in any case. So when Jiang Tian took the opportunity of being impeached to throw out the argument of naval reform, those guys who were good at infighting immediately became white This is to escort foreign trade, although this dynasty has been much more open than the former Ming Dynasty, but after all, it is not suitable to let the population transfer to the sea, and now there are a large number of unemployed people in the south to the north, and the price of hired workers in the south of the Yangtze River has risen sharply, and the tenants are also itched by the large number of borderless land in the north, but the traditional idea of leaving the homeland is still affecting everyone, As a result, there was no mass emigration, and the landlords, who were already nervous about the various new policies, could not imagine the consequences of population loss. So he Tian Xuhai also appeared, just to inquire clearly for the class behind him, what step this naval reform should take.

Among these five students, I am afraid that only Song Yi came here for the technology of rocket artillery, but for Jiang Tian, their caution has no meaning to him, because he knows that in order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the country, the navy must get rid of the auxiliary service status of guarding against sea harassment and transporting military rations by the way, and in the future, the navy must begin to regularize and go to the sea, and become the vanguard of maintaining overseas interests. But he didn't plan to say it too clearly to these five people, not that he intended to keep it secret, but that he was worried that these people's vision would not be able to see so far, like him, advanced reformers, there are very few who can succeed in history, in the final analysis, it is the strong resistance of vested interest groups that leads to success in the end, fortunately, he Jiang Tian does not need to convince the emperor, many times it is much more convenient to have a leader who can understand himself, as for those who do not understand, he does not plan to bother more, anyway, the Son of Heaven is on his side, and the army is also on his side, Those guys who can only scream can't make much waves.

"Sicheng, you come to be a clerk for a while, I will say that you write, first formulate the classification standards for naval ships, and then the compilation of regulations and regulations. Huan'er don't be idle, help Dexin and your senior sister draw the drawings of the rocket, Yijian, you are responsible for passing the information, if you need to call the confidential materials, you need to go back and forth quickly, as for nostalgia...... The first batch of students sent by North Korea will arrive in a while, and you will have more common language with them, and you will be their seniors, so you will receive them. In the face of free labor, Jiang Tian unceremoniously began to assign work, he didn't know that Tian Xuhai still missed Xinyue, but if he was really arranged to draw drawings, not to mention whether he could do this job, even Xinyue might be a little uncomfortable, so he had to let him receive those new students.

Although there is a lot of work, but because Jiang Tian needs to coordinate in the center, so he can only work in one room, except for Tian Xuhai who has no work for the time being, others have long been accustomed to Jiang Tian's style, and it is natural to spread out their work supplies, Song Yi skillfully unfolded the workbench, a pile of drafts drawn by Jiang Tian has been spread on the table, his task is to draw it into a formal design drawing, he is already familiar with this work. Wu Yuan also spread out the rice paper and prepared pen and ink, although he didn't know what the ship classification standard was, but everyone knew that Jiang Tian liked to set rules for things, and no matter what he did, he had to formulate a standardized process, so he thought that the dean of the Naval Research Institute had made an old mistake again.

As soon as Jiang Tian wanted to start work, he saw Zhao Zhifeng running in from the outside, shouting as he ran: "Sir, sir, there is an urgent military intelligence report, and the herald is waiting outside the door!" ”

At this time, everyone looked at Jiang Tian, and they didn't know what kind of military information would be presented to him, a person who had no military power. Jiang Tian didn't care about this, just nodded casually and let the herald come in, and then signed the official document according to the rules, and when he opened it, he just pursed his lips and smiled.

"Sicheng, you should ghostwrite a rebellious essay first, what you want to say is reasonable, advantageous, and emotional, but don't say when we will send troops!"

Jiang Tian's words made everyone scratch their heads, and when they took the military intelligence document, they knew that the feeling was that the Zheng family fleet raided the Ryukyu Islands, not only swept away the remnants of the Japanese invaders, but also took away the monarchs of a group of small countries such as those in front of the mountains and behind the mountains. It's not so easy to help them get back into the country. But because Jiang Tian was still in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the task of occupying the commanding heights of public opinion was assigned to him.

Writing an essay is not a piece of cake for Wu Yuan, but after he wrote a bunch of it, he was vetoed by Jiang Tian, and the words in the article that scolded the eight generations of the ancestors of the Zheng family were deleted, in Jiang Tian's words, this is a national letter, not two shrews scolding the street, you just can't use it if you write it well. And because the navy doesn't even have a shadow yet, isn't it embarrassing that you scolded quite a lot and didn't act in the end? There are also some ultimatums and the like that can't be said, everyone knows that you are not capable of crossing the sea to the east, then the so-called ultimatum is meaningless at all, and the lack of actual action is even more ridiculous, but the original passionate declaration of war has turned into a tepid protest, which really surprised several people here, of course, they also have no glasses. Only Zhang Tao, Jiang Tian, and Zheng Chenggong and his wife who are far overseas know the inside story of this matter, and they were originally taking the opportunity to expand their maritime frontiers, as for letting go of those nobles and ministers, it was completely to leave a righteous name for the mainland, in fact, what good things can they have on their barren island, these people were shocked by the bustling capital of the Celestial Empire as soon as they landed. Besides, the Zheng family is not a teacher, and they rebelled in the name of the rebellion of the Ryukyu countries against the Ming Dynasty! Anyway, both sides have their own banners, even if they scold each other in the air, they can argue fiercely!

Jiang Tian knew in his heart that it didn't mean that Zhang Huan could sit still, how could he, the prince, tolerate this kind of thing, especially his teacher was still a little passive and slacking off, so he didn't care about the etiquette of the master and apprentice and stood up and asked urgently: "Sir, how can a traitor who thinks that he despises the imperial court be so indulgent?" ”

Looking at his diligent and inquisitive student, he didn't know why this kid was so anxious, maybe this kind of nobleman still valued the majesty of the imperial court, Jiang Tian just smiled slightly: "What's the hurry, now they can snatch it, it's just a temporary mail in their hands, and no one should be able to snatch it away." ”
