"Oops, the son-in-law of the Liu family has become a lord!" A villager said.

"It's amazing, it's even more powerful than our county magistrate."

"Yes, now the Liuyuan family is shaking."

"I think at the beginning, he didn't look down on Xue Rengui."

"That's it, that's it."

……

I heard that Xue Rengui has not only become a senior official at the same level as the county commander, but also a lord, which is even more powerful than the county commander.

Envious, jealous and hateful, the villagers' eyes were straight one by one.

The news spread quickly, and officials and celebrities such as the county magistrate kept coming to visit Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui only stayed in his hometown for three days, and he was in a hurry to go back.

Wang persuaded him to stay for a few more days, and Xue Rengui said: "No, I have to go back quickly, the prince may have to use someone." ”

Xue Rengui is a big husband, and he knows that it is his duty to repay his kindness, so he is in a hurry to go back to serve the prince. So, he took Liu Jinhua and others on the way to the capital.

Zhou Qing followed Xue Rengui to Chang'an. Xue Rengui just promised him to recommend it to the prince for him, as for whether he could be hired, he didn't pack a ticket, it all depended on the prince's arrangement.

After Liu Renliang reported to the Ministry of War, he lived in the palace of the king of Qi and listened to the call of the prince. The more he knew about the prince, the more shocked, admired, and liked it.

He didn't know what virtue his ancestors had accumulated, so much so that the ancestral tomb was smoking.

This prince is talented, easy-going and sincere, protects calves, is not greedy for merit, and thinks about the people around him for any benefit. Such a master is really the person he dreams of.

Zhang Guigui and other noble sons will not talk about it, Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance are from similar backgrounds to him Liu Renliang, they have been reused, and they have already begun to make contributions. The equally talented Liu Renliang is naturally enthusiastic, just waiting to make a contribution.

The first task Liu Renliang received was to train an ocean-going navy to prepare for the implementation of the Great Voyage Plan.

Soon, he took the official document of the Ministry of War and went to Yangzhou to carry out the mission.

The shipbuilding industry of the Tang Dynasty was well developed and was in the leading position in the world. I won't go into them all here.

The first thing about going to sea was shipbuilding.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and if you want to build a ship, you must have a shipbuilding expert. Li You checked the information and found a top master of shipbuilding during the Zhenguan period, his name was Tang Xun.

This Tang Xun is not simple, he once served as the ambassador of Yangzhou Dao Shipbuilding in history. He is able to make his own shipbuilding drawings and has experience in organizing and managing the shipbuilding industry.

In particular, the fact that the self-made shipbuilding drawings are remarkable. It was not until a thousand years later, in 1633, that anyone in Europe was able to make their own shipbuilding drawings.

At this time, Tang Xun was only a supervisor of the Ministry of Works, who was a draftsman, a petty official from the ninth grade.

Tang Xun is 22 years old this year, a standard white-faced scholar, his body is a little weak, this person is not good at talking, he is an honest and stable young man.

On this morning, Tang Xun, as usual, was the first to come to the office room, clean up, and then start working with 8 supervisors.

At this time, the voice of the Zuo School's signing order came from outside the door, and he said diligently: "My lord, Tang Xun is working here. ”

The door opened, and the Zuo School signed an order to accompany a seven-rank military attache to walk in, everyone took a look and saw it, this person was the military captain Baihu of His Royal Highness King Qi.

Zuo Colonel signed an order and said, "Tang Xun, come and see Lord Dianjun." ”

Tang Xun hurriedly came over and saluted the white tiger.

Baihu looked at Tang Xun and said, "You are Tang Xun, my prince has taken a fancy to you, and you will be a member of the Qi Palace." Come with me. ”

His Royal Highness King Qi, who is that? One word, bull fork!

The people who kept up with His Royal Highness King Qi were all soaring. Tang Xun was very happy, and under the gaze of everyone's envious, jealous and hateful complex eyes, he started his brilliant new life.

Tang Xun was not the only one who changed his fate.

At noon on this day, a notice was posted in front of the east and west cities, which caused a sensation among the merchants, and the notice said that the Qi Wangfu was recruiting shipbuilding supervisors and the place of work was in Yangzhou.

No matter who it is, it is specifically noted that no matter who it is, including the children of merchants, can take the examination and be hired on the basis of merit.

This supervisor is the lowest rank of an official in the Ministry of Works, and the place of work is in Yangzhou, which is not very attractive to ordinary nobles and the children of officials, but for the children of commoners and merchants, this is the first step to becoming officials.

Only 24 supervisors were admitted, and the registration period was only three days, but 715 people signed up at once.

On this morning, in the compound of the research institute, the first exam began.

More than seven hundred people sat in the courtyard, each with a desk in front of them. Originally, the research institute was going to set up a new school and prepared some desks, but it was still not enough, so they asked Kong Yingda for help and borrowed some desks. That's what the need is.

Xiao Qian and Kong Yingda were invited to preside over the exam.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the exam officially began.

Xiao Wanyu took more than a dozen female officials from the research institute and began to give rolls to the candidates, seeing these young and beautiful female officials wearing high heels, the candidates thought that they would enter the research institute in the future and deal with these female officials, and the blood that was already boiling burned directly.

There are only three types of content in the exam, and according to the content of the first part of the Analects, write an impression, which is required to be between 500 and 700 words. This is to examine the basic cultural literacy of candidates.

The second topic is arithmetic, which examines the candidate's arithmetic foundation.

The third question is a bit weird.

This topic is painting, but it does not require candidates to make a complete work, only requires candidates to draw a circle, a square, a straight line, two parallel lines, and an egg.

This is to examine the candidates' skills in learning mechanical drawing.

The exam is over.

In the end, 24 candidates were admitted, including 3 children of officials, 5 children of commoners, and the rest were children of merchants.

The recruited candidates were organized into a shipbuilding class, and Tang Xun was responsible for teaching.

In order to train a group of shipbuilding engineers as soon as possible, Li You transcribed "Mechanical Drawing" and shipbuilding-related scientific and technological knowledge from the science and technology library, so that Tang Xun could teach while learning.

The ancients also used brushes to paint, so it was inconvenient to make drawings. So, Li You had no choice but to come up with a secret weapon in advance.

As mentioned before, Li Shimin, Li You and Gao Jingming have a big plan, which is to comprehensively improve the level of education for all, and in fact, it is also attacking the cultural foundation of the gate valve clan.

Last time, by raising the status of businessmen, the first step plan was realized, and a large number of schools were added throughout the country. To this end, the students also came to a student movement.

However, this is important for improving the cultural level of the entire Tang Dynasty,
