Although he fell asleep very late, Zhang Hui still got up before dawn.

But he pushed open the door, and a basin of water was already placed on the wooden platform in front of his door.

In front of the guest rooms on the left and right, clean water for washing has been served. This alone cannot help but make people sigh that the service learned is excellent.

Stretching his waist, Zhang turned around and took out all the toiletries from the room.

Toothbrushes, tooth powder, drinking glasses, hand towels, and the latest soaps. These daily toiletries are distributed to each member in sets after arriving at the society.

Among them, it should be the raretest soap. In principle, soap should be made by treating grease with caustic soda and then mixing it with flavor.

Zhang Hui read the corresponding paper in "Nature", saying that it is a new substance mixed with caustic soda in tea seed oil and heated and condensed, which can be used for washing hands and laundry, which is far better than soap horn and is beneficial to cleaning and health.

At that time, there was no caustic soda at hand, so Zhang Hui failed to do the corresponding practical yàn, and later new papers appeared one after another, and Zhang Hui was left behind. But just over a year later, the soap of Fatty Yan Zhai has been selling very well in Jiangnan, and the slightly worse soap without flavor has more than a dozen brands. It's just that whether it's soap or soap, it's a price that Zhang Hui can afford for a while, but can't afford to use for a long time.

However, what Zhang Hui likes is not the soap with the imprint of the fat inkstone, but the enamel cup.

I have always heard of iron embryo enamel cups, but it is difficult to see them on the market.

This cup is still the first enamel vessel of Zhang Hui. It has the words of the first national representative/congress of the Natural Society, red letters on a white background, arranged like an arch bridge, and under the bridge is the warp and weft leaf logo of the Natural Society. The cup is made very exquisitely, so that Zhang Hui can't put it down.

Scooped water in a cup, brushed his teeth with a toothbrush dipped in tooth powder, and then washed his face and hands with hand towel soap.

After Zhang Hui freshened up, a young man came into the courtyard, picked up the basin of dirty water, and prepared to bring it out.

Zhang Hui nodded at him and thanked him, while the young man put down the basin and bowed solemnly before going out with the basin again.

In the clubhouse, there are hundreds of young people who serve the members. are only in their teens, except for a little Kansai accent, the other qiē makes it impossible to recognize the problem.

Dressed in the same style, they are all taciturn, polite and polite, and the most important thing is that they are all literate and literate.

According to the understanding of the past few days, the teenagers are not servants, they are all work-study students transferred from the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce.

That is, the family is poor and cannot afford to pay tuition, so he was funded by the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce, and went to school half a day and worked in the Chamber of Commerce half a day.

Just like the newsboys who deliver newspapers in Beijing, they all deliver newspapers early in the morning, and the rest of the time they study in schools funded by the newspaper, and at the end of the month, they can still get a lot of wages. In contrast, the vast majority of apprentices in the shop pù do not have such a good treatment, generally three years of day work, and then four seasons of new clothes, red envelopes for the New Year's holidays.

These work-study students start from Mongolian school, and those who excel can also go to primary and secondary schools. For eight or nine years, half of them are studying, half of them are working, and when they graduate, they pass the examination of Guò County High School and get the qualification of Xiucai.

According to the gossip that Zhang Hui heard, several of them were already Zhuke Gongsheng in this state. Zhang Hui couldn't confirm the authenticity of this rumor, but he did see a work-study student who was already a member of the society, wearing the society's warp and weft leaf badge on his chest.

A member of the society, if he wants to take the exam for a subject, he is definitely handy.

Just like Zhang Hui, he has already obtained the qualification of Zhuke Gongsheng. If it weren't for the communication of Guò, the next subject, the imperial court would have added a Ming Science subject in addition to the various subjects, focusing on the way of natural things, and Zhang Hui would have been ready to go to the Ming Engineering or Ming Arithmetic Subject.

And teenagers like these work-study students don't know how many people are in Kansai.

In the past two days, Zhang Hui has dealt with a bookstore, and once proudly said that the Mongolian students funded by the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce every year are tens of thousands in Guanlong. Among them, at least half of them can go to primary school, and among these half of them, two percent can go to middle school and get a show.

In this proportion, the title of the land of Wencui is not Jiangnan Zhulu, but will be transferred to Guanlong Zhulu.

Some of the numbers are public, and as long as you have a heart, you can find them. And many people with a heart have made the number jù public.

For example, the results of the school attendance rate of children in various military states across the country surveyed in the past two years have been published in newspapers all over the world, and many people have broken their glasses.

Among them, the highest enrollment rate is Gongzhou, and the states of Longyou are in the forefront. The Jingzhao Mansion, the capital of Kansai, is ranked eighth, the Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo can only be ranked ninth, and the three capitals of Luoyang, Daimyo, and Yingtian are even more outside the twenty.

Another surprising number is that only three states can rank 20 in the Jiangnan Zhulu, where the humanities are gathered, and none of the top 10 southern military states can be ranked.

This number is calculated based on the number of Mongolian students compared to the number of boys in the local Baochi Bureau. Demographically speaking, the records of the Bao Chi Bureau are far more reliable than the numbers in the county government cabinet.

As soon as this number came out, the world was in an uproar.

No one could have imagined that this would be the case.

As everyone knows, the number of people who can be admitted to the Jinshi or various subjects in a region comes entirely from the base of the student population. The more people who read, the more seeds of reading, and Jinshi will laugh proudly.

Kansai was originally simple and uneducated, and the number of jinshi was not as good as that of Jiangnan Yizhou, but he was resistant to qi and was deeply cultivated and densely planted in Kansai for many years, and finally was able to surpass Jiangnan, and he could enter the harvest period in a few years.

There are more competitors, which is indeed bad news for all the scholars who are rolling in the imperial examination.

However, after the uproar, there was no news soon.

The big families in the south have always been indifferent, and they have not followed the example of the Yongqin Chamber of Commerce to subsidize all out-of-school boys.

If you open a Mongolian school, you can get tax reductions and get praise from the imperial court, but if there are too many students who can enroll, the children of the family will have to compete.

Originally, thousands of troops and horses rushed to cross the single-plank bridge, and then several times as many people and horses squeezed in, and people would not be able to live?

Many large families only register their home schools and get a certain amount of tax reduction in the name of Mengxue, and they don't think about the children of ordinary people who have nothing to do with it.

This makes all the people who have expectations can't help but lament that there is no second Yongqin Chamber of Commerce in the world.

It's hard to say about Jinshike, but Zhuke, in a few years, I'm afraid it will be the world of Guan Longshizi.

And Jinshike...... Wang Anshi can change the poem to the meaning of the scriptures, and it is equally easy for Han Gang to mix the content of the grid in it.

The great changes in the world, a little slower, but really can't keep up.

With a slight sigh, Zhang Hui took the lead in coming to the venue after having breakfast in the cafeteria.

In a corner of the venue, the crowd has gathered.

Zhang Hui was thinking about what was going on, when he saw Han Gang who was surrounded in the middle of the crowd.

'Arrived so early?' Chapter Hui whispered.

"It's a habit to go to court early."

Zhang Hui hurriedly turned around, but saw that it was Wei Pu who was holding a long staff, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Mr. Wei." ”

"It's Brother Zhang." Wei Pu listened to the voice and replied.

After coming to the club together, Zhang Hui had several dealings with Wei Pu, and he admired Wei Pu's arithmetic level more and more. However, he didn't know why Wei Pu knew that he was talking about Han Gang.

Wei Pu said goodbye to Zhang, walked over to the crowd, and when he got closer, the crowd parted. I saw the prime minister in the center of the crowd come out and talk to Wei Pu.

Wei Pu's level in mathematics is indeed outstanding. Among the many scholars in the natural society, it is also outstanding, and he can talk to the prime minister, and Zhang Hui can't say anything except envy.

Inside the venue, it has already been set up.

There is only one wooden platform directly in front of the entrance. I don't know where I found so many chairs, with the wooden platform as the core, arranged in a semi-circular shape with three layers of front and back, leaving a few radial lines running through the inside and outside as a passage for walking.

In this way, sitting behind the wooden platform, the speech can be heard by most people.

However, if this hall can be renovated, the whole audience may be able to hear the speech on the wooden platform in the middle.

It would be nice if the new clubhouse, which would be repaired in a few years, could have been designed with sound in mind.

In addition, the future congress will only get bigger and bigger, and there is not enough space for it, so it will only be crowded.

However, it is necessary to design a venue that can accommodate thousands of people. It's a hassle just for the seats.

Zhang Hui was distracted, and when he came back to his senses, he heard someone talking next to him, and seemed to be discussing whether the new club could create a larger dedicated venue.

After listening to a few words, the corners of Zhang Hui's mouth couldn't help but smile, not ridicule, but recognition.

"In the old days, the ancient was thick and thin, and the ancient was respected, and the qi was the foundation laid by the ancients for the present. And the water potential is downward, low inside and high outside, which is also in line with the principle that Han Xianggong once said that the sea is inclusive of all rivers. ”

This is to create a saucer-shaped venue, so that Jaefu will sit in the middle and low, and the other members will sit up one by one.

Let Zhang Hui say that this idea is indeed a good idea, and the arguments used to persuade people sound somewhat reasonable at first glance. If there is time, Zhang Hui is also willing to insert a foot into it,

But Zhang Hui didn't plan to be distracted too much, and soon returned to the conference in front of him from the dilemma that the new club didn't even have the materials ready.

As early as two days ago, a pamphlet with the smell of ink was handed out to all the participants, with no words on the cover, a blank sheet of paper, and inside was the agenda of the conference.

A total of 307 member representatives will discuss the draft articles of association of the society.

Including the prime minister, including cloth clothes.

Zhang Hui's heart jumped again, in the world, which prime minister can be so tolerant and generous?

The sky lit up little by little, and more and more members came to the venue.

Everyone sat down, Han Gang walked up, and after coming to the wooden platform, his sharp gaze swept across the audience.

In the middle of the venue, there was a rapid silence.

"It's a pleasure to meet so many old friends at this venue. I'm even happier to be here and meet a lot of new friends. ”

"To be able to join the Natural Society, to be able to work hard for the Society, are all comrades of one heart and one mind, in front of us, there are three hundred and six, and in the world, there are three thousand one hundred and seventeen. Twenty years ago, this was something that only happened in dreams. And today, after 20 years, it has far exceeded the imagination of the past. So I ...... you know the old rain and the new knowledge. Han Gang, I have some heartfelt words I want to say to you. ”

Han Gang's voice was thick and condensed, as if it came out of the dantian and spread to every corner of the venue.

Everyone was listening intently.

Han Gang paused, then spoke,

"I have a dream."
