After a while, Yue Qingya and a few others came back.

Yue Qinghan's little face was puffed up, and he didn't know what was going on. Cao Ziguang went over to ask, Yue Qinghan held the sword but didn't speak, just angry.

Li Wanrou's maid said: "Today, a son has taken a fancy to our sister Qinghan, but Sister Qinghan is not happy and almost beats someone." ”

"Who is so bold that he dares to take a fancy to my family Qinghan?" Cao Ziguang was furious, did anyone else dare to make up his mind with the women around Lao Tzu? This kind of thing is not allowed to happen.

"How can you be bold? He is the son of the governor. Yue Qingya glanced at Cao Ziguang, disagreeing with his words, saying so on her lips, but she didn't look down on that Fang Gongzi in her heart, she didn't have to say anything about her appearance, but she was too frivolous, if it weren't for her sister who knew martial arts, she wouldn't be taken advantage of by him. But compared to Cao Ziguang, the other party doesn't seem to be excessive.

Cao Ziguang said unhappily: "What's wrong with the governor's son?" Qinghan, have you suffered a loss, if you suffer a loss, I can't spare him. ”

Yue Qinghan hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I won't let anyone else touch me!" ”

Yue Qingya was weird when she heard her sister's words, and her heart was a little complicated, in fact, she could also see a little bit of her sister's thoughts, but they were sisters, did they all have to be entangled in this man? She didn't want such a thing to happen, but her sister's temperament was not easy to persuade.

Hearing that he was not touched, Cao Ziguang was relieved, if Yue Qinghan was bullied, he didn't mind chopping off the other party's hand, no matter who the other party was.

The next day, Cao Ziguang sent Li Wanrou back to Yangzhou and got into a carriage to go out of the city to the dock.

The weather is a little stuffy, Cao Ziguang lifted the canopy curtains, casually looked at the pedestrians on the road, Jinling as the central city in the south of the Yangtze River, the flow of passengers is too large, from the city gate to the wharf, the flow of people along the way is endless.

When he was about to arrive at the wharf, Cao Ziguang saw a large amount of stone piled up not far away, and many masons were building houses, which had already been built in a rudimentary form, with a large area, like the outline of a warehouse. And the figures of Lu Chengming and the foreigner appeared there, which made his eyes condense.

Did the Zhou family also collude with foreigners? Cao Ziguang didn't guess what they were doing with such a big warehouse, and after sending Li Wanrou on the passenger ship back to Yangzhou, Cao Ziguang didn't go back immediately, he walked around the dock at random, found a hawker who often wandered here, and asked.

Knowing that the Zhou family's newly built warehouse at the wharf was used to store grain, Cao Ziguang was surprised, the Zhou family had never been in the grain business, and this time there were foreigners involved, and things didn't seem to be simple.

Cao Ziguang frowned, and after turning around, a young man who was walking and looking down at a book bumped into him.

"Rude faux pas!" The young man quickly apologized as he bent down to pick up the book that had fallen on the floor.

Made, nerd! Cao Ziguang just scolded in his heart, and when he saw the book on the ground, his opinion immediately changed.

Process equipment experience! A few handwritten brush words on the paper attracted Cao Ziguang's attention, and he immediately looked at the person in front of him. In his early twenties, he dressed very casually, and he had nothing to do with those literati who had learned a few cars.

"Don't get in the way, under Cao Ziguang, dare to ask my brother's name?" The displeasure on Cao Ziguang's face dissipated without a trace, and he asked politely.

The man showed surprise on his face: "You are Cao Ziguang?" My name is Xu Shengyuan, and I have heard of your name, and I am fortunate to meet it. ”

Xu Shengyuan! Cao Ziguang had never heard of this person, and accidentally remembered that there was a Qing Dynasty scientist named Xu Shou in history, and he didn't know if it was this person. It doesn't matter if it's not, the important thing is that this Xu Shengyuan is studying equipment, this is talent.

"Since it is a good meeting, can you invite Brother Tai to find a place to sit for a while, see that Brother Tai seems to have studied instruments, and I, Cao Ziguang, am also a person who likes instruments." Cao Ziguang looked at the book in the other party's hand and said.

Xu Shengyuan also looked at his book and laughed at himself: "It's just that I like to mess around since I was a child, and I made a note casually, and I don't have a clue." ”

After some conversation, Xu Shengyuan is also a casual person, so he accepted Cao Ziguang's invitation.

The two entered Jinling City in a carriage together, and learned along the way that Xu Shengyuan was from Wuxi, and his birthplace was really the same place as Xu Shou.

Xu Shengyuan said that he didn't drink alcohol, and drinking alcohol was easy to reduce people's thinking power, so Cao Ziguang found a teahouse and chatted with him.

The two talked very happily, Cao Ziguang was not deliberately pandering, Xu Shengyuan did have some ideas about manufacturing equipment, but he had not yet formed a perfect theory, and was only in the exploration stage. But Cao Ziguang already appreciates it very much, especially because he also understands foreign languages. This kind of talent gives some time, and it is not impossible to make a steam engine to come out. Nowadays, the West has come up with it, but it is not open to Huaxia, and the Chinese people are not very interested in novel equipment, which has caused technological backwardness.

Cao Ziguang believes that the Chinese people are quite intelligent, and that the backwardness of modern times is only a lack of government guidance, and they are proud of poetry and scriptures, and they are negligent in invention and creation. This kind of atmosphere is not right, he can't change the situation if it's too big, but when he encounters one or two talented people, he also wants to cultivate it.

"Brother Xu, if you don't mind. I am willing to fund your research in this area, and what experiments are needed are not a problem in terms of funding. ”

Xu Shengyuan was very emotional, he has always hoped to find a businessman to invest in this area, but he has not met it, this time he met Cao Ziguang, and he had the feeling that Bole was finally looking for it, so he did not twist it at the moment, and readily agreed.

Jinling is not Cao Ziguang's territory, so he explained that he wanted to set up an equipment research workshop in Suzhou, asked Xu Shengyuan to preside over the work, and proposed that the primary research task was the "steam engine".

The manpower loom is too backward, if the steam engine can be made, Cao Ziguang feels that the real take-off of the Tang Dynasty will come, and maybe it can also bring about the industrial revolution in China and manufacture more equipment.

"Steam engine!" Xu Shengyuan was surprised: "Brother Cao also knows this thing, I have seen this kind of machine in Western books, but the working principle has not yet been figured out." ”

Cao Ziguang smiled and said: "The working principle is simple, and I will tell you when I look back, you only need to study the details of the structure." ”

If Cao Ziguang did this matter himself, he believed that he could make a primitive steam engine after tinkering for half a year, but he didn't want to study this thing, he was a lazy person, he could use his mouth, and it was more appropriate to leave the hands-on things to great people.

It is enough to lead the development of history, and you must not be tired to death if you bow down to everything. In general, picking up girls is Lao Tzu's top priority, and this is also for the sake of all the people in the world. Cao Ziguang doesn't feel that he is lazy and shameful, and he has a very noble reason, which is enough for him to pursue shamelessly.

Although he was lazy, Cao Ziguang asked others to be diligent, and the next day he asked Zhang Lang to take Xu Shengyuan to Suzhou and instructed them to get out of the equipment workshop as soon as possible and not to slack off.
