Lin Puqing knew that Shen Baozhen had always been distressed by Lin Yizhe's punishment for being impeached for participating in the "fornication law chieftain" for ten years and not allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

Shen Baozhen got up, took Lin Puqing to the back hall, invited the portrait of his father-in-law Lin Zexu, and knelt down in front of the portrait. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

“…… Kunyu learns from China and the West, has the courage to do things, works hard with all the members of the shipyard, and is dedicated to the country, fame and fortune, at all costs...... Now for the imperial court to appoint the law envoys, give the Jinshi background, hold the festival for thousands of miles, the first prince learned that the forest gate has this, when the smile Jiuquan ......"

Shen Baozhen couldn't help but burst into tears when she said that she was emotional.

At about the same time, in the shipmaster cemetery, in front of the tomb of Zhou Kaixi, the first promoter of the shipmaster, Hong Jun was reading the memorial he wrote to Zhou Kaixi.

“…… When the typhoon hit, the public was in the mud all day long, and the water potential of the shore was still shaking, that is, it took the lead in standing at the head of the dam,...... At any time, the public and the shipmaster craftsmen and craftsmen emphasized the management strategy, and in the second or third generals, they were all premeditated, and the shipmaster's success was impressive. However, its deep meaning is not only to save money, but also to take the ship administration as the eternal plan of the country, and it has the ambition of the world. It's a pity that he didn't finish his work and was martyred. …… Su Wu Hongjun bowed his head and wrote it. ”

After Hong Jun read this sincere memorial written by himself, his expression was very sad.

"Brother Tao's sacrificial text is well written! I think it is better to hand over this text to the stonemason and engrave a monument here to commemorate it for future generations. Lin Yizhe suggested.

"Well, in this way, people who come after can see that it is not easy to establish the shipyard." Hong Jun readily agreed. Lin Yizhe immediately arranged for someone to record the memorial text, handed it over to the stonemason, and started to carve the monument on the same day and erected it in the garden.

Leaving the shipmaster cemetery, Hong Jun went to Shen Baozhen's house accompanied by Lin Yizhe to pay respects, Shen Baozhen was very happy, set up a banquet to entertain Hong Jun, and invited the shipmaster to promote Xia Xianlun, Wu Zhongxiang and others to accompany him. For a while, the guests and hosts were happy.

When Lin Yizhe returned home, it was already late at night.

"It's so late, why don't you sleep yet......" Lin Yizhe couldn't help but feel sorry when he saw that Chen Wan and Caiyue hadn't slept and were waiting for him.

"Children are noisy sometimes, and they go to bed late anyway, so it's better to wait for you to come back......" Chen Wan glanced at her son Lin Guanchen in the small bed, and a peaceful and quiet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She looked back at him, "Will you leave tomorrow......"

"yes......"

"It's so urgent......"

"The mission of the imperial court cannot be delayed, besides, many people are staring at it."

"Oh......"

"I originally wanted to take you out to have a look, but the court didn't allow you to bring your daughters ......"

"It doesn't matter, besides, my uncle and aunt at home still have to be taken care of......"

"Yes! My uncle and aunt are old, and my health is not good, and the head of the family depends on you. ”

"You can go with confidence...... There are me and Caiyue at home......"

Lin Yizhe looked at Chen Wan, who was already a mother of two children, and suddenly impulsively hugged her in his arms.

"Oops! …… Lighten ......," Chen Wan cried softly.

"What's wrong?"

"Here...... There is ......" Chen Wan pointed to her bulging chest with a worried expression, "Swollen...... Yes...... Extruded ......"

Lin Yizhe suddenly understood, and couldn't help but smile.

"Then I'll help you relax." Lin Yizhe hugged her waist and gave her a long, deep kiss first.

Cai Yue couldn't help but blush when she looked at their husband and wife's affectionate appearance.

Although she has been accepted by Lin Yizhe, she has been hugged and kissed by Lin Yizhe more than once, but looking at the scene in front of her, she still can't help but have a fever on her face, and her heart is pounding. She coughed involuntarily and turned her head.

Lin Yizhe realized her existence at this time, he turned his head to look at her, and then looked at Chen Wan, and his heart suddenly moved.

"Caiyue, come here. What are you doing there? Lin Yizhe smiled and said to her.

"Sir? ......" Caiyue was stunned.

"Tomorrow, the old man will go abroad, and he won't be able to come back for a year and a half, so tonight I will do my best, and the rain and dew will be wet. Why don't you come over quickly? ”

"Master wants to ......" Caiyue saw one of his hands hugging Chen Wan tightly, and the other hand reaching out to him to make a hug, and immediately understood what he wanted to do, and his face was flushed for a while, and he lowered his head.

Chen Wan also understood at this time, and she was also shy.

"Hurry up! Come here! Why, don't you listen to me? Lin Yizhe took out the old man's style and drank it.

Caiyue lowered her head and walked over with small steps, Lin Yizhe hugged her, gave her a long kiss, and then helped them to the shelf bed......

The breeze blew and the candle flame shook slightly, reflecting the figures of men and women behind the curtain.

The young Lin Guanchen seemed to be awakened by some sound, he lay in the crib, turned his head, blinked through the gap in the fence, blinked his big bright eyes, and looked curiously at the shadow of his father sucking on his mother's chest......

At dawn the next day, Lin Yizhe came to the dock early, and Shen Baozhen and Xia Xianlun led all the officials of the shipping administration to see off the first batch of young children studying in France led by Lin Yizhe, Hong Jun and Ri Yige. Lin Yizhe looked at the 30 children studying in France standing in front of him, and his heart was full of emotion for a while.

In the original historical time and space, the first batch of official students in Chinese history should be sent to the United States in 1872 next year, and because of their own relationship, this date was advanced by nearly a year, and the country of study abroad has also changed from the United States to France.

After the "Tianjin Teaching Plan" in 1870, Lin Yizhe boldly put forward his "Overseas Study Education Plan". Zeng Guofan agreed with this very much, and immediately joined forces with Li Hongzhang to play the Qing court. In the recital, the two proposed: "The government will select Yingxiu young people and send them to study abroad", which was approved by the Qing court, and the "Prime Minister's Young Children Abroad Business Center" was established in Shanghai, and Zeng Guofan's aides Rong Hong, Chen Lanbin, and Ri Yige were in charge of this matter. After learning of this news, the envoys of Britain, France, the United States, and other countries in China also expressed their willingness to accept Chinese students.

The Qing court spent a lot of thought on choosing a country to study in, and at the suggestion of Lin Yizhe, it finally chose France, which is "similar to China's political system", rather than Britain and the United States.

According to the practical needs of the moment, this first batch of international students mainly studied science and technology, engineering and other disciplines that are urgently needed to handle foreign affairs. In consideration of the language problem, it was decided to send children between the ages of 10 and 16 to go abroad.

According to the plan, the number of children in France will be 120 in the first phase. From 1871, 30 students were sent every year, and by 1874, the study abroad period was expected to be 15 years, and all expenses were paid by the imperial court. Although the salary is good, there are still few applicants when recruiting students, which makes Rong Hong and others really spend a lot of brains.

In this era, many Chinese people regard studying abroad as a daunting path, especially France, which is thousands of miles away from China. In the minds of the Chinese at that time, they all thought that it was a "barbarian state", probably because of the fire in the Old Summer Palace, and there were even rumors that the French would peel off the skin of the Chinese and "put it on the dog". Moreover, sending these teenage children abroad for 15 years requires their parents to sign and detach, which is even more difficult for parents to accept. The letter of guarantee is generally written as follows: "I hereby have a son and so-and-so, who am willing to be sent to the Harbour Master to take him to France to study his trades, and on the day of his return, he will obey the dispatch and shall not stay abroad." If there is a disease, life and death are mutually assured. "It's like a piece of paper. Although Rong Hong tried his best to solve the tricks, he still couldn't make any moves. In desperation, Rong Hong had no choice but to return to his hometown to mobilize the villagers to sign up, and at the same time to carry out activities in nearby counties and cities, but the result was still not full. Later, he went to Hong Kong to recruit a few, and he barely managed to make up the number.

Now there are 30 children in the first batch, 3 are from Jiangsu, 1 each from Anhui, Shandong, and Fujian, and the rest are all from Guangdong. After recruiting all the people, they were first sent to study at the Harbour Master School, and this time Lin Yizhe went to France, and the young children went with him on the "Fubo" transport ship provided by China Merchants.

Looking at these children with dark and thin faces and timid faces, Lin Yizhe knew that China's future was pinned on these children.

And it turns out that the bleak ending of the ** child in history, he will never allow it to be repeated!

After the feast, all the children studying in France got on the "Fubo", and the "Weiyuan" ship had also been replenished, and Lin Yizhe and Hong Jun reluctantly bid farewell to Shen Baozhen and other shipping officials, and then set off on the ship.

The whistle of the "Weiyuan" ship sounded for a long time, sailing outside the port, Lin Yizhe looked out from the railing, and suddenly saw the figures of Chen Wan and Caiyue holding their children on the bank of the river in the distance, and his body couldn't help but be shocked.

Chen Wan and Cai Yue also saw Lin Yizhe, and waved their handkerchiefs at him, Lin Yizhe saw that the child in their arms also followed them, waving their immature little hands, and tears almost burst out of their eyes.

He tried to suppress the tears in the corners of his eyes, and stared at the direction of his wife and children until the "Weiyuan" ship gradually sailed away, and their figures could no longer be seen.

Lin Yizhe took a deep breath of the slightly salty sea breeze, looked at the blue sea and sky, and opened his arms.

A new journey has begun!

In the cabin, Hong Junhua wrote down his diary: "...... Today, I left Fujian to go to France, and took all the children who stayed in France to go with them, a total of 30 children who stayed in France, and took the 'Fubo' wheel, with the majority of people from Guangdong Province, covering the first atmosphere of the province, and better than the mainland...... Dawn opens, Chen carves out the horsetail, looks far away in the cabin, but sees the smoke and water is vast, boundless, the sea and the sky are wide, only the sail and the sand bird are counted...... When you go to the sea, the boat is very swinging, and if the servant half vomits, Yu also feels unwell......"

When Li Hongzao, who was far away in Beijing, learned that Hong Jun went with Lin Yizhe to visit Zhou Kaixi's grave and engrave a monument when he stayed in Fuzhou, he was silent for a long time, although he thought that this should be Hong Jun's compassion for his colleagues, but he still had a faint premonition in his heart.
