Now that the Longjiang has successfully returned, Zhu Houwei and his party do not have to stay here, and the next day, they will take a carriage back to Beijing. These days on vacation by the sea, everyone loves this kind of carefree days. In particular, when I was sailing on the sea by boat, I saw the beautiful scenery that I didn't have on land, and several people who came to the beach for the first time fell in love with the calm sea.

Back in the capital, life is the same as before, what should everyone do. The capital has become more and more lively in the past two days, because in July this year, a scientific expedition will be held. People from all over the country rushed to the capital to take the major exams of their lives.

The students who came to the Jinshi examination have poor families and wealthy families, and these people have come to the capital to make the Qinglou in the capital popular, and the inns are all full. When these students arrived in the capital, they either continued to study in the inn, and those with family backgrounds took the name card to visit the examiner Li Mengyang's home, or they went to the Qinglou to wander the wreckage.

The GDP of the capital has risen by several percentage points at once, and the chief examiner and deputy examiner are very busy except for the reception of old friends or related children who are rushing to take the exam.

The Zhu Houzhao brothers are just watching the fun, and the two of them don't have to take the exam anyway. Zhu Houwei's favorite thing now is to go shopping on the street, and when he sees the college entrance examination students in a hurry on the street, he has a great perverted pleasure in his heart, and secretly says in his heart, "We are the biggest relation, we don't need to take the college entrance examination, we can still have a good job, and we have to wake up with a smile when we sleep." ”

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty is basically smooth wind and rain, this year Huangzhuang's farmland Zhu Houwei also went to see, the crops are growing well, and this year is another bumper harvest year.

There is no court meeting today, Zhu Houzhao's brothers, Bai Yulian and the little girl came to Li Zhen together, and visited Bai Xiaode by the way. When I arrived at Bai's house, I heard Lao Li's hearty laughter before I entered the door.

When I entered the gate, I saw the lobby and found that Bai Xiaode already had guests today, and he was still an acquaintance, that is, Doctor Li, Li Yanwen.

Li Yanwen has now settled in Li Town, he entrusted a few acres of thin fields in his hometown to relatives for safekeeping, and took his wife, wife and children to Li Town. Some time ago, he has been committed to the research of the subject given to him by Zhu Houwei. Now that he has a hearty smile and a relaxed appearance, it seems that there should be good news.

The movement of a few people entering the courtyard has attracted the attention of the four people in the lobby, and they are all very happy to see the people coming. Soon, everyone arrived in the lobby to salute. After everyone sat down, Zhu Houzhao asked, "What did you talk about just now?" "Lao Li spoke first" Ziyu said what he saw and heard when he went south, saying that when he passed through Huating County (now Songjiang District, Shanghai), there was a juggler in the market who was performing an oil pot to make money. After the oil was boiling, it was steaming, and the entertainer suddenly fished out a copper coin at the bottom from the oil pot, and everyone around sighed. The man was about to ask for a reward, but he didn't expect a 5 or 6-year-old boy to walk up to the oil pot and put a piece of silver in it that was 5 taels in it, and asked the man to take it now, and the money would be his. The entertainer looked embarrassed, then poured the oil from the oil pot, took the iron pot and ran away. A man in his 30s was played with by a small doll, you say it's ridiculous. Now Li Yanwen has settled in Li Town, in order to better integrate into this emerging town, Li Yanwen asked Lao Li to treat him as a nephew, just call him by his name, "Li Shen Doctor, Li Shen Doctor" called, feeling a distance. The people in the town were also obedient, and they didn't call Dr. Li Shen to Dean Li.

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard this, and Zhu Houwei asked Li Yanwen with a smile in his eyes, "At the age of 5 or 6, he is so mischievous, and he seems to be smart." It must be famous in the local area. Li Yanwen smiled and said, "Lord Wang, you haven't seen that kid before." He looks like a little adult and has a big voice. I stepped forward to ask him for his name, and he said to me, 'Who in this Huating County doesn't know my Xu Jie's name, and that performer has to do something if he wants to get the reward of our Huating people.' With his hand, he dared to come out and be embarrassed, and if he didn't smash his stall, he was already a little master. Later, I asked a few Huating people to know that this kid is not talking big, and his fame is really big. It seems that his father is an official, and he is already reading and writing at this age. But often naughty and mischievous, once played with the brothers in the house, and as a result, the family's granary was burned, but it was okay or not too big, but it lost the food of Xufu. ”

Hearing the name Xu Jie, Zhu Houwei's eyes lit up. I remember that during the Jiajing period, there was also a cabinet elder named Xu Jie, and the history books of the Ming Dynasty praised him, because he was the biggest contributor to the defeat of the traitor Yan Song. However, it is not certain whether this is the historical Xu step.

After the topic is over, let's talk about something else. Lao Li is now at home for the elderly, and he doesn't have to do any work, and now he lives with his youngest son. The youngest son, Li Tiezhu, is now in charge of the military factory, and he needs about 100 taels of monthly money and bonuses a month, and the family does not have to worry about food and clothing, but the younger son basically eats and lives in the military factory, and now he rarely returns to Li Town. Although Lao Li was a little reluctant, he could accept it.

Although Bai Xiaode is now a royal prince, he is also very busy as the person in charge of the World Chamber of Commerce. 's daughter became the crown princess, and the Bai family was basically home alone, and at most Xiao Ding Li came back from school to live. With a busy job, it's not lonely.

Then I talked about Li Yanwen, he is now the president of the hospital established by Zhu Houwei, and he has a monthly salary of 50 taels per month, and the herbs used in research are paid by the hospital, and he has a very comfortable life. Now the eldest son is almost 2 years old, and his name is Li Guozhen, a somewhat joyful name. My son's wife is hot on the kang, and I like my work, and I also write books and books in my spare time, and my life is boundless.

A few of them spoke, and the little girl and Bai Yulian took the little sister Ding Li to go to the orchard in Li Zhen and pick some fruits to taste.

Li Yanwen suddenly said, "I heard from the merchants in Li Town that smallpox has appeared in Yulin, Shaanxi, and I am going to go over and take a look." Bai Xiaode, Lao Li and Zhu Houzhao were all shocked, only Zhu Houwei asked in surprise and worry, "Cowpox has been made?" The others were confused, but Li Yanwen rolled up his sleeves, and there was a small bump on his left arm, which looked a little hideous.

Zhu Houwei was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Li Yanwen to experiment with himself, how much courage does it take, get up and bow to Li Yanwen. Li Yanwen hurriedly avoided it, and said in a loud voice, "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

Zhu Houzhao was a little anxious and said, "What the hell is going on?" What are you two playing? Zhu Houwei said slowly: "When Mr. Li went south a few years ago, he passed through a village where smallpox was going and found that none of the people who milked the cows were sick. After returning to the capital, he began to study why, and then he studied cowpox, and theoretically put cowpox into the human body, so that people would not be infected with smallpox. The scar on Mr. Li's arm just now was left when he planted cowpox. This thing has just been researched, and I don't know if it's useful or not. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, several other people looked at Li Yanwen in awe, Li Yanwen shook his hand and said, "It's not that I thought of it alone, the prince also gave me a lot of help in the middle." This time I went to Yulin to experiment with the effect of this cowpox, and today I came to talk to Mr. Li and Mr. Bai, in case I can't come back, my wife and children will have to rely on the two of you to take care of me in the future. ”

Before Bai Xiaode and Li Deli could speak, they were interrupted by Zhu Houzhao: "In the name of the prince, I guarantee the prosperity and wealth of your family." Li Yanwen bowed and said freely, "You don't need to be prosperous and rich, you just need to be able to worry about food and clothing." ”

Li Lao was worried and said, "This smallpox is life-threatening, Ziyu, you are old and young now, but you have to think more about them." Li Yanwen looked at Lao Li with a smile, "I have made up my mind, if there is a case, Daming is just missing a bell doctor, if it succeeds, it will benefit hundreds of millions of people, I have to go." ”

Zhu Houwei nodded, "That's it, this is a long way to Yulin, I'll let someone send you there." Li Yanwen replied, "Just send me nearby, don't go in with me." The lobby fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke. After a while, the three girls who had gone to the orchard returned, breaking the silence of the lobby.
