Hearing that King Xin had changed his words, Zhang Zhidu opened his mouth again.

Seeing that Zhang Zhidu wanted to speak again, Zhu Youzhen glared fiercely.

Under the threat of Zhu Youzhen's gaze, Zhang Zhidu swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Xinwang, you are really good, although you have changed the word, aren't you actually still running the academy?" Zhang Zhidu still couldn't help but mumble in his heart.

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's suggestion, Xu Guangqi pondered for a long time.

He heard the difference between Zhu Youzhen's two statements.

The first statement, because of the reason Zhang Zhidu, seems to have been ruled out by King Xin. In the second case, King Shin obviously wanted to gather people together and brainstorm some physical research.

Shinwang also promised that if he could produce research results, Shinwang could recommend them to the emperor. With the favor that King Shin is now receiving, it is very likely that the Emperor will accept it.

It's just that His Royal Highness King Shin is a vassal king after all. walked too close to King Xin, once King Xin became a vassal in the future, far away from the capital; Or if the king falls out of favor, the summoned companions will inevitably be implicated.

Xu Guangqi felt that he was already old, and he had a good friendship with King Xin, and he didn't care about King Xin's involvement anymore. But he couldn't help but consider the feelings of others.

But looking at the longing expression of His Royal Highness King Xin, and thinking about the environment in which your friends are now, Xu Guangqi made up his mind.

"Your Highness, I would like to send a letter to all my friends. Zixian will also write down what His Highness thinks, and as for whether they can come, it depends on their own choice. Xu Guangqi decided to leave the choice to his friends and let them decide for themselves.

Xu Guangqi figured it out, no matter what, what King Xin gave was also a chance, as for whether it was worth catching or not, whether he was willing to catch it or not, it was better for his friends to decide for themselves.

"That's for the best." Zhu Youzhen readily agreed.

"Sir, where is your test field, shall we go and have a look?" After taking care of the scientists, Zhu Youzhen remembered the first purpose of his trip and asked directly.

"Experimental field?" Xu Guangqi was slightly stunned, thinking of King Xin's grand wish to promote new crops to the whole world, he immediately asked happily: "Does Your Highness want to see Fangshan, Laishui, or Dong'an?" ”

"Fangshan, Laishui, Dong'an?" Zhu Youzhen was a little confused.

Xu Guangqi showed a look of reminiscence on his face: "In the forty-first year of Wanli, I taught farmers to open canals and plant rice in Fangshan and Laishui; In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, he taught them compost in Dong'an; In the first year of the Apocalypse, he went to Dong'an to teach them to grow sweet potatoes and build aqueducts in the fields. These places can be regarded as the experimental fields mentioned by His Highness. Your Highness, which place would you like to see? ”

"Sir, what are you doing in Tianjin?" Zhu Youzhen's face was slightly red.

Dizzy, he still thought that Xu Guangqi had only conducted an experimental field in Tianjin once? I really didn't expect that his old man would actually conduct 4 test fields in various places. He is really worthy of being a scholar of practical learning, a top scientist of the Ming Dynasty.

"These places are considered Tianjin Wei?" Xu Guangqi was slightly surprised, and when he thought of the identity of King Xin, he was relieved.

"Your Highness is going to Tianjin City, right? Then go to Dong'an to have a look, where is also a stop. Thinking of the direction of the convoy, Xu Guangqi said very considerately.

"Well, I'll listen to you, sir. Let's go to Dong'an and have a look. Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't expect that the jurisdiction of Tianjin would be so large in this era.

Where are Fangshan and Laishui? It is on the edge of Daxing County, which is probably closer to the capital than Daxing. How could he have thought that it was still the boundary of Tianjin.

This administrative division of the Ming Dynasty is really tricky.

This accident, he showed his cowardice in front of Xu Lao again. Fortunately, this time the exposure is not too obvious.

Fortunately, there is a Dong'an along the road, otherwise his joke would have been big again.

Isn't that the opposite of what is going on?

But where is this Dong'an? Zhu Youzhen looked confused.

"This is Dong'an County?"

Zhu Youzhen looked at this county town with only one street and no city walls.

Zhu Youzhen really didn't expect that this county seat of the Ming Dynasty would not even be as good as the township in the previous life.

In Zhu Youzhen's impression, although the ancient county town occupies a small area, at least there should be a city wall and gatehouse made of blue bricks, right?

In the memory of the previous life, isn't the ancient city of Pingyao that kind of specification?

This Dong'an is inevitably too unseemly, right?

This is also the county seat?

Zhu Youzhen expressed extreme suspicion.

"Is this really Dong'an County?" Zhu Youzhen asked Zhang Zhidu with suspicion.

Walking out of the capital this time, Zhu Youzhen realized the real inconvenience of traffic in this era. The roads are narrow and the road conditions are not good, and Zhu Youzhen has been mentally prepared for these unfavorable situations.

But Zhu Youzhen never expected that he would not even be able to distinguish the road when he left the capital.

Zhu Youzhen can guarantee that there is no problem with his sense of direction, and he can distinguish between east and west, north and south very clearly. But he still couldn't tell the path at this time.

In this era, there are too few straight roads, the roads are all winding, and there is not even a road sign on the road. Without road signs, Zhu Youzhen could not tell where these winding roads would eventually lead.

It's even more terrifying to want to get off the road and just follow the direction.

The vegetation in the wilderness of this era is not the neatly planted trees of later generations. Leaving the established path, you will definitely feel like a traveler has entered a wild mountain. It can't be said that it is difficult to move an inch, but at least the energy consumed will be an abnormal headache.

What's more, Zhu Youzhen's carriage also limited him to walking on the official road.

It is no wonder that in ancient times, the march would pay attention to opening roads in the mountains and building bridges in the water, which was limited by the environment, which was really not a lie.

Well, it seems that you must find a guide to lead the way when you go out in the future.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen secretly rejoiced: fortunately, Zhang Zhidu caught up with him. If it weren't for Zhang Zhidu and Xu Guangqi by his side, if he wanted to find a way to Dong'an, he would have to hire a guide.

For this reason, Zhu Youzhen was very suspicious of whether Zhang Zhidu was taking the wrong path. This is not the real county seat of Dong'an.

You see, the earthen wall that surrounds it is no more than two and a half meters high. Can this also be considered a city wall? This is just a dirt fence, and it can barely play the role of blocking the view.

How do you look at it, this doesn't look like a county seat?

Zhu Youzhen looked Zhang Zhidu up and down with an unkind eye.

"Your Highness, this is indeed the county seat of Dong'an." Without waiting for Zhang Zhidu to swear by the curse, Xu Guangqi opened his mouth to affirm.

"Your Highness, please come with me. Zixian is still relatively familiar with this place. Xu Guangqi jumped out of the carriage and took the lead towards Dong'an.

Wei Zhongxian's feeling now is definitely as big as a fight.

Sun Chengzong clearly asserted in the recital: After the autumn harvest, Houjin Laonu will definitely raise troops to retaliate.

Sun Chengzong's judgment coincides with the opinions of Wei Gonggong's think tanks.

After the autumn, there will be a battle between the Ming and the Houjin.
