When Hou Fangyu on the side saw it, he was a little surprised, and he was also a little frightened. You must know that even Ying Tianfu Guozi was scared of the sacrificial wine, then the status of the person just now must be a few levels higher than the official position of the sacrificial wine, and it is likely that he will be in charge of the sacrificial wine. But that young man is very young, who could it be?

He couldn't think of it, so he covered his mouth and asked Hou Ke, "Uncle, who is that person?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen's private visit, of course, his identity cannot be exposed, otherwise Hou Ke would have gone directly to see him just now. When he saw Hou Fangyu asking, he thought about Hou Fangyu's behavior just now, and said loudly angrily: "Shut up, immediately follow me back to my hometown, go to the ancestral ancestral hall and kneel down to think about it, and see if you will be cheap in the future!" ”

Today is embarrassing and conspicuous, Hou Ke didn't want to stay any longer, and after saying this, he immediately ordered the maid to help him go out.

However, when he passed by Fang Yizhi's side, he saw him saluting to himself, and suddenly remembered that Emperor Chongzhen had just said that he was very good to Yizhi, and remembered his words, and his heart was a little mixed, so he couldn't help but stand still, looked at Fang Yizhi and said: "If my nephew has half of yours, it will really be the Hou family's ancestral tomb smoking!" ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed again and went out.

When he said this, Fang Yizhi was a little stunned, what does this mean?

And Hou Fangyu was very angry when he heard it, thinking to himself, am I so bad? We are called the four sons of the Restoration Society, they are all famous, your uncle said this in public, how can he be the same name in the future?

Hou Fangyu was sad and hurtful, and he didn't have the face to stay here, so he covered his mouth, ignored Fang Yizhi, and hurriedly followed Hou Ke out.

Pan Daqiu stood there for a long time, and his heart was very bitter: What is this called, it is obvious that he can ignore his own business, but he has to participate in it, but as a result, his performance has been seen by the emperor. Needless to say, the impression must have been very bad! After working hard all my life, I still want to climb up again, but after today's incident, I am afraid that I have already become an official!

Thinking about it, Panda Qiu can't help but hate it! It's all because of the Hou family, if it weren't for them, how could he have done such a thing!

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Fang Yizhi say to him: "Lord Sacrificial Wine, the student has retired first." ”

Pan Daqiu came back to his senses, just like Hou Ke, looking at Fang Yizhi, who had unknowingly won the emperor's favor, his mood was quite complicated. Under this kind of micro-service private visit, it is inadvertently remembered by the emperor well, which is the most valuable. How good it would be if it was replaced by yourself, and it would be possible to rise to the top in the future!

sighed in his heart, this Fang Yizhi, who was favored by the emperor, wanted to be befriended. Thinking like this, Pan Daqiu barely showed a kind face, and the other party Yizhi said: "Well, study hard after you go back, this official is optimistic about you!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Sake!" When Fang Yizhi heard this, he was also happy in his heart, after all, this was one of the highest institutions of learning in the Ming Dynasty, and what he said still had weight, "The student is going to go to the Qilin Gate first, and then return to his hometown." ”

He remembered what the young man said just now, and in three days, he would stage a flying miracle outside the Qilin Gate. To be honest, although he thought it was a little incredible, he felt a little convinced. In any case, it would be a pity if you didn't see the result of such a strange thing and left.

When Pan Daqiu heard what he said, he suddenly remembered what the emperor had said to him when he was leaving.

"Just because you don't understand doesn't mean you don't exist. The application of scientific and technological knowledge is far beyond your imagination. ”

"There is no end to learning, scientific and technological knowledge, you might as well take a look at it, otherwise you are not worthy of being the priest of this country!"

Thinking of this, Pan Daqiu suddenly pondered something, if he is now delving into scientific and technological knowledge and trying his best to promote scientific and technological knowledge, does that mean that he can at least keep the official position of the current country's priest wine?

People who have been in the sea for many years have their own set of skills. Panda pondered for a while, and immediately came to his senses. When the emperor said this when he was leaving, he must have been sure that people could go to heaven. In this case, if you help the emperor expand his influence and work hard to promote scientific and technological knowledge, he should be able to make the emperor a little happier, right?

Thinking about it, he felt that only scientific and technological knowledge was the only way out for him. So, he was suddenly anxious, and he couldn't wait to fly back to Yingtianfu Guozijian immediately to arrange the corresponding things. He believed that as the son of another country, he would vigorously promote scientific and technological knowledge in Jiangnan, which would definitely have a great impact. When the emperor heard this, he should also change his opinion.

Thinking of this, he suddenly forgot that he had criticized scientific and technological knowledge many times before, and among the people who were led by the four sons of the Fushe Society and prepared to write against it, he was among them. Compared with his own personal interests now, he knew which was more important.

So, Pan Daqiu said to the other party with wisdom and kindness: "Scientific and technological knowledge is a profound knowledge, which is beneficial to the country and the people, and must not be ignored. ”

When he said this, he suddenly remembered that Fang Yizhi had told what Emperor Chongzhen had said, so he didn't hesitate to move out and said: "The learning of Confucius and Mencius lies in thought; Scientific and technological knowledge lies in skills, and the two do not conflict, they can be said to complement each other, remember to remember! ”

After saying that, he stepped out of the door, and hurried back.

Who knew that before he reached the door, he heard a slightly anxious voice behind him: "Master Pan, I haven't settled yet!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Pan Daqiu remembered that the money in the private room had indeed not been paid, and he was immediately a little embarrassed. At this time, he didn't dare to show off his official authority no matter what. Besides, the industry here is all owned by someone behind it, and the debts are repaid, do you want this reputation?

So, he turned back and ordered his entourage, and shouted coldly: "Waste, why didn't you pay? Do you want the official to tell you personally? ”

After saying that, he hurried away, and no longer had the face to stay here.

After all these officials left, the quiet lobby suddenly became lively. These watched from beginning to end, one by one excitedly like something.

"It's enjoyable to watch today, this meal is really worth it!"

"It's not, these days, I can finally raise my eyebrows once, and those sour Confucians have been taught a lesson this time!"

"Have you heard, even the Guozi priest has changed his tone, saying that scientific and technological knowledge is an esoteric knowledge, which is beneficial to the country and the people, and if you hear it, it is beneficial to the country and the people!"

“……”

These low-level people were naturally excited about things related to them at first, but after only a while, they changed the topic.

"People can go to heaven, is this true or false? It feels very unreliable! If you can't go to heaven in three days, will those who die reading come to attack scientific and technological knowledge again? ”

"I guess so! The young man said very confidently, I think so! ”

"Did you find that this young man has a great background! I can see that if this young man hadn't been here, this would never have happened today! ”

"Yes, who is this young man? Tsk, it's amazing to make an arrogant young man slap himself like that! ”

"Could it be the prince of the family? Or is it the scarlet robe family? ”

“……”

For them, the emperor is far away from them, and this is not the Jingshi, but Yingtianfu, which is far away from the Jingshi, it is impossible to see a powerful young man and think of the emperor. Of course, if Emperor Chongzhen has more private visits in the future, it may be remembered for the first time. But now, Emperor Chongzhen is in the south, and he has only done it once. And if you haven't been to Ying Tianfu, you will naturally not be associated with it.

"Let's go, I have to tell my family, three days later, outside the Qilin Gate, the wonders of the ages, you must not miss it!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm going to go back and say it, this kind of thing is really exciting, people can go to heaven, it's like a dream, can there really be?"

“……”

After a while, the people in the lobby ran away. Even the shopkeeper instructed the guys in the store: "Look at the store, I'll go to the owner and tell you about today's events, it's really exciting!" Also, such a big thing as people can go to heaven comes out of our store, if the owner doesn't know about it for the first time, we will be scolded! ”

Such an incredible thing as a person being able to go to heaven is also accompanied by the Hou family Xunzi, and this nephew is also one of the famous four sons of the Fushe Society, and there is also a change in the attitude of the Guozi priest wine, all of which are topics.

As the crowd in the lobby dispersed, this matter, one by ten, ten by hundred, spread in Ying Tianfu at a rapid speed. It is even going to the surroundings of Ying Tianfu. At this rate, in three days, I am afraid that it can spread widely. This momentum is so big, I'm afraid it's a rare time in Jiangnan recently.

Emperor Chongzhen actually expected this. In fact, the reason why he said that it would be set in three days was also to let the news spread more.

In the north of the Ming Dynasty, the emergence and application of the steam engine, especially the test of the steam engine steamer in the Tongzhou River, made it easier for the northerners to accept scientific and technological knowledge in addition to being shocked. However, the most shocking thing of the steam engine steamship is still being tested, and there is no one in the south, and the news from the south is from mouth to mouth, whether intentionally or not, in the south of the Yangtze River, where the Shilin atmosphere is strong, it will be somewhat boycotted and misunderstood.

It is also for this reason that after receiving the letter from his apprentice, Emperor Chongzhen prepared to create a powerful experiment in the south where people can go to heaven. It is to tell the readers and people here in Jiangnan that the value of scientific and technological knowledge is beyond their imagination.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage entered Yingtianfu, but did not stay, but went to the east of the city through the Qilin Gate.

It's just passing through the outer city, there are so many shops and commodities on the street that Hailan is dizzying, and she can't take care of it at all. Tian Guifei was born in Yangzhou, she was okay, when she saw Hai Lanzhu's appearance, she gave her a commentary, and talked all the way. What happened in the restaurant just now was immediately thrown out of the clouds by the two of them.

After leaving the Qilin Gate, seeing Hai Lanzhu's unfinished appearance, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, when we are done, we can have a good stroll." ”

When Hai Lanzhu heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. But when Tian Guifei heard this, she silently remembered that the last time, Emperor Chongzhen seemed to say the same thing to her, but after the matter was done, she rushed back to Beijing in a hurry.

Your Majesty, there is always something to do!

Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about it so much, seeing the prosperity of Yingtianfu, he was also happy in his heart, talked to the women around him, and chatted with Fang Zhenghua and Liu Xingzuo, so he went all the way to the apprentice's manor.

The purpose has been clarified in advance, and naturally there are Captain Jinyi Guards who inquire about the route in advance. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage did not need to ask for directions, and naturally there was a captain of the Jinyi Guard leading the way.

After walking for a while, there are finally fewer buildings outside the city, but there are more grain fields and waterways, and the natural scenery has changed, which is a different scene. Hai Lanzhu is also very happy about the vibrant scenery everywhere, and she still chatters all the way.

Anyway, it wasn't in a hurry, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't rush to leave, so he slowed down and pointed along the way, as if some rich people were on an outing.

"Master, the manor in the distance in front is the manor allocated to Carpenter Xu." Liu Xingzuo obviously did his homework, and he didn't need to ask his subordinates, so he pointed to a manor in the distance and said to Emperor Chongzhen.

In the fields of Jiangnan, there are many paths. This manor outside Yingtianfu is also one by one. Just like the villas of wealthy families in later generations, choose to live a life away from the hustle and bustle in this quiet countryside.

Emperor Chongzhen looked along what Liu Xingzuo was pointing at, then nodded and said: "The environment here is not bad, he is doing things here, and not many people will bother, and it will be done!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xingzuo introduced again: "There are people in the surrounding area who should be transferred by the eunuchs of Tianfu Town to guard the surrounding area and not let people disturb Carpenter Xu's work. ”

R&D matters, really can't be more social. Emperor Chongzhen listened, and was satisfied with the arrangement of the eunuchs in Tianfu Town, nodded and drove forward.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone speak: "Who is it?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen turned his head to look, only to see that on the path on their side, there was a person dressed as a scholar, with a scholar, both of whom were carrying things, and were stopped by a Jinyi guard lieutenant.

Seeing that the master here turned his head to look, he saw that the scholar was smiling, and he clasped his fists here and said, "May I ask, I heard that there is a craftsman here Xu Zhengming Master Xu, who is good at making some strange things, I don't know where it is?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought to himself that it was really a coincidence, he actually came to find his own apprentice. I can hear that this scholar seems to have more respect for Xu Zhengming, a craftsman. Thinking so, he pointed to the manor in the distance and said, "That Zhuangzi is!" ”
