The young man did not understand the joy and the cruel loneliness in this strange sentence,.。

What is the purpose of entering the Academy? Especially after studying naturalism, which was not very good before, it is really as Chen Jian said, there are so many maybes, so many differences.

"Senior brother, what is the difference between the university in Minjun and the school palace in the capital?"

Chen Jian said with a smile: "The universities in Min County, those who are not qualified to be officials in the capital, can only work as some county public officials in Min County, or be employed by Nanyang Company and other places to receive salaries. ”

"Of course we know that, but what about the rest of the differences?"

"The rest?"

Jian Chen thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Different people have different differences. ”

"For example, if you have a bad family background, you can choose to stay in the university in Minjun County as a gentleman, and the salary is not low every month, plus the subsidy of the party property fund and the allowance of the scientific and technological progress fund of the former Progressive League, life will be quite good."

"For example, if you have a better family, you can choose to invent something in Minjun. As long as the family has money, there is nowhere closer to all kinds of chemicals than Minjun. Whether it is doing your own research, or inventing something to apply for a patent in Minjun, or taking money from your own family to directly open a workshop to copy a glass factory, egg white photosensitive paper and other legends to get rich overnight, it is not impossible. ”

"And those who remain in the university to be gentlemen have something else to do besides teaching students. For example, the oil refining workshop, the glass workshop, or some other workshop owners will come to pay you to help improve some production technology, or ask you to help you think of a way - you must have heard the story of Mr. Mu saying that in order to tell the naturalist disciples who were lost after the failure of alchemy, that they could exchange their knowledge for money, and that was similar to the story of using lime as the base of small castings to make the lime decompose and help complete the casting for money. ”

"The other is that our party produces money, I will come up with ideas, and you will try and experiment. Both those who make money and those who don't. For example, weighing the weight ratio between hydrogen and oxygen is not profitable, such as improving the raw materials and mass production of egg white photosensitive paper, etc., such as being employed by mineral, metallurgical and infrastructure investment companies abroad, which is very profitable and can learn to manage at the same time, and so on. ”

"The third is what you have found, think it is very helpful, and then submit an application, and after I and our brothers and sisters discuss and approve it, I will find a way to allocate money, and you will do the research."

"In short, no matter what, whether it is for money, power, fame, or for the better progress of more people, you can find a reason to display your talents. If you want to be named, I can tell you clearly, even if I give the direction of the idea, you will still sign it in the end. If you want money, then it will be a bit troublesome, and we will take a part of the patents in the future, unless you make it with your own money. ”

This is the mainstream trend in Min County at this time, which is very different from the capital, and capital dominates everything. Where capital is reluctant to set foot in, there is our party property that allocates money to do basic research, but a second signature called the Mexican Party Science and Technology Research Institute is added to the signature. ”

"Anyway, it's hard for you to imagine, you'll know when you get there. For example, if you invent a method of mass production of light-sensitive silver salts today, many people will break through your door the next day and beg to join hands with you to set up a workshop; Even if you just come up with a feasible idea, even if we don't have our party assets, there will be a lot of venture capital money pouring in to fund your research. As long as the estimated profit in the future can exceed the average dividend and interest of Mincheng. ”

Hearing Jian Chen say this, some people were leisurely fascinated, while others were a little unhappy.

"Senior brother, in Minjun, there is no glory in reading and learning, and all of them are reduced to the employment and trading of capital? All the divine brilliance that I used to read is gone? ”

Jian Chen nodded, "That's right. This is the progressiveness of Minjun relative to other places, leaving all feelings and sacredness in the garbage heap, and the straightforward and naked money-employment relationship forces Minjun to move forward. ”

"But what about the directions that aren't making money? As you said, the proportion of hydrogen and oxygen is difficult to invest. ”

"Personal hobbies are not bothered by food and clothing, the will to regulate above capital, and investments that are not aimed at profit. This is not something that free capital can do, so this is again a question of the internal influence of the Minjun model, which is why there is a Mexican Party that both praises and opposes the Minjun model. What is praised and what is against is not the same thing, just as my objection to the thick skin of the bun does not mean that I am against the bun; Just because I praise buns for having fillings doesn't mean I'm glorifying the thick skin of buns. ”

Chen Jian believes that among these people, there must be young people who have read the pamphlets issued by the Mexican Party, and it is of little significance to those who have not read it, but even if there is one Chen Jian who has read it, he will not give up the opportunity to publicize it.

Sure enough, someone in the crowd asked: "Senior brother, what you Mo Party means is that there are steamed buns elsewhere, and steamed buns in Minjun, and what you want is balls." Therefore, no matter how bad the steamed bun is, it is better than the steamed bun, so you support the steamed bun against the steamed bun, after all, there is a filling; But when steamed buns became mainstream, you began to oppose thick-skinned buns again, either turning them into thin-skinned buns with eighteen folds of thin skin and big filling, or jumping out of the category of buns to make balls? ”

Listening to this metaphor that is quite a foodie tradition, Jian Chen laughed and said: "It is inevitable that steamed buns will replace steamed buns, thin-skinned buns or balls?" Now I don't know, but I'm definitely against steamed buns. ”

…………

When Chen Jian lured these juniors and sisters, who were once handsome, to Minjun and discuss steamed buns and meatballs there, a group of horseback riders were ushered in in a lively street market with the characteristics of the capital.

This market has been famous for a long time, and when Chen Jian came to the palace many years ago to make a name for himself, the market and the nearby square staged an exhibition of magical and realistic novelties, and it became a practice to hold an annual exhibition.

The concrete platforms that are erected for children to play, the crescent-shaped rail cars that inspire the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy, the hot air balloons that rise into the sky every day, the wonderful spectroscopic prisms designed according to sundials, and the concrete streets and squares that promote cement regardless of the cost...... This makes it one of the busiest places in the city on holidays.

This is not the time for the opening of the exhibition, and even the young people of the school palace will think of steamed buns and steamed balls when they want to compare them, so you can imagine that at this time this place is filled with the fragrance of various foods and the lively cheers of children.

This is the most international place in the capital, and it is also a place that is normal in the eyes of others but somewhat magical in the eyes of Chen Jian.

Small brick stoves, iron-barbed grates, and cheap honeycomb coal, which had long been popularized, smoked, and a large pot of tea eggs boiled on them.

On the left side of the tea eggs, there is a sad face of pinching candy, and now the sales of maltose are not good, beet sugar and sucrose are endless, except for relying on a handicraft to make flowers to attract those curious children, it is really not easy to sell.

On the other side is a large teapot, a few words more than the pergola of ten years ago, apparently newly written, such as coffee and sweetened cocoa. The old shopkeeper is old, and the young shopkeeper who inherits his father's business keeps pace with the times, and many people are good to sell in order to taste fresh.

Originally, all the stoves were used to boil water, but now there is an empty stove for people to make fire, and those who smoke tobacco can light cigarettes. There is a tobacco seller next to the teapot.

A few bitter match sellers spat at the stove where the fire was fetched, thinking about finding an opportunity to smash it for him at night, otherwise the match would not be sold here.

Bypassing a few tables for drinking tea, there is a very old mutton soup restaurant. Some people who came here to catch the market came over, took out their own dry cakes, and brought a bowl of free and unlimited mutton soup soaked in dry cakes, and ate a big bowl with a snort.

Now it is early spring, the weather is still very cold, but the people here are sweating more than five years ago, the boss is running around to say hello, from time to time shouting: "I said everyone, you add less chili oil and pepper noodles, this thing is not expensive first, add more and you can't eat it, the umami of this mutton is covered." ”

One of the people who was pouring the pepper noodles into the bowl scolded back, "How much can you eat?" Today I heard that the ship from the Netherlands has brought another shipload of pepper, and the price of this pepper will go down, you have not heard that Mr. Chen has talked to the Dutch, and in the future, our Indian company will ship it directly from that side. ”

The person next to him laughed and said, "Bullshit, our Indian company, you don't even know where the door is facing, right?" ”

As he spoke, someone took out his tortilla and said that corn was a good thing, and the price was much lower than that of wheat noodles, but he swallowed it with the skin as if he wanted to cut his throat.

Then he took out a few coppers from his pocket and handed them to the boss of the mutton soup, and bought a white flour cake for his child, who was soothing and shouting for a while that he wanted to go there to take pictures, which would cost a sum of money, and he had to sit there stiffly for a while, but he had to eat enough to warm up his body.

The tent for the photo shoot is in front of the hot air balloon, a chair, a black cloth, a blackout tent. There were many exotic costumes hanging from the ropes next to it, and the most common ones were the wide rainproof hats and brightly colored military uniforms worn by the armed employees of the Nanyang Company, or the aristocratic robes sold by the small nobles of the northern Hou Bo Kingdom, and the children often liked a black flintlock pistol carved from wood next to it.

A few people who sell fried peanuts and fried sunflower seeds, full of Min County accents, a few people who inquired know that fried peanuts and fried sunflower seeds are the first to enter the industry from Min County, and the sand is fried with peanuts and sunflower seeds that have not been here for a long time, and from time to time someone buys a package and clicks in a paper bag, and there are obvious gaps in front of several children's front teeth.

On the road full of melon seed skins, a few Dutch sailors peddled small items they had brought with them in babblea. This is tariff-free and is outside the company's goods, take the company's ship to sell a few private money, mostly Japanese fans and the like, in the Dutch Indian Company sailors to bring goods privately is strictly forbidden to damage the public and private behavior, but the ship to trade here obviously does not belong to the Dutch Indian Company, and the control is relatively relaxed.

The bustling streets and squares related to food are like a moving picture, conveying a taste of the Age of Discovery, and even the food that has not changed for hundreds of years has begun to change.

As the men on horseback approached the street, there was a hint of confusion in the orderly and moving picture, not because they were tax-collected, but because the horses they were riding had stamps on their buttocks, and in some cases two.

An old general who had retired opened a large horse farm on his estate, brought in a few Gelderland horses, Friesian horses, and a few Andalusian stallions from the Netherlands, and tried to cross them with the local summer city horses and northern wilderness horses.

Everyone is not afraid, but except during the exhibition, there are very few such people here, and such characters cannot be allowed to come over to eat candy men or drink infinite bowls of mutton soup.

A young man on horseback pointed to a horsewhip and said to a person next to him: "This place is really lively, and in the past seven or eight years, it has become a scene in the capital." Chen Jian said that in three or five years, a world expo will be held here, and the foundation will be laid soon, and if you want me to say that you listen to me, the headquarters of our Indian company will first occupy the land next to it, and this place will definitely be valuable in the future. You haven't been to Mincheng, and you don't know that the land near the Mexican Party Headquarters, the Futures Exchange, and the Nanyang Company has been expensive in recent years. Listen to me, it doesn't matter how he tosses us, it's definitely right to follow behind and get rich. My old man also donated a sum of money, saying that this is an opportunity to show the prestige of the country, and the council is about to be decided, and the shareholders of the company also mean to repair it and scare and scare others. When the time comes, invite people from Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, India, Japan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty to come and have a look. The Nanyang Company also said that it would bring all the armed ships over at that time. ”

"Why didn't he cultivate in Mincheng?"

He thought that he was determined to repair it in Mincheng. The old man said, it is okay to repair it, and it is not impossible to allocate money, but it must be repaired in the capital. If they want to repair it in Mincheng, one is that they have to pay for it themselves, and the other Ministry of Rites will not come forward to invite, and the Ministry of Industry will not help. Besides, if Yu Li doesn't agree, he wants to open a World Exposition? Now there are many displaced people in the capital, just learn from the side of Min County, the more displaced people, the more tossed, so as not to cause chaos. It just so happened that the company's first transaction was to be responsible for the grain, bamboo tendons, cement, masonry, and wood of these displaced laborers. This is called the first month near the water, and the company's ship may not have arrived in Wangbei City now, so we will make a profit first. ”
