After many years, Li Xingxiu, who had been hanging outside, was screwed back by Zhao Zhen.

Li Xingxiu came to the vertical arch hall, his eyes flashed and he said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, the minister is back to see you!" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Yo! You know to come back and see me! If I hadn't sent someone to find you, your kid would probably still be in Fuzhou and wouldn't come back! ”

Li Xingxiu: "Look at what you said, the minister is that kind of person......"

"Yes!" Zhao Zhen made a conclusion without hesitation.

"Ugh!" Li Xingxiu was also choked by Zhao Zhen's words, but he rolled his eyes, and immediately changed the topic and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you have to tell your ministers?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "I heard that your kid threw away the work I gave you and went to learn shipbuilding by himself, is there such a thing?" ”

"Rumors! This is definitely a rumor! It must be Wang Shenli's kid who is spreading rumors! Your Majesty, can't you listen to him brag! Li Xingxiu immediately jumped up to clear his "crime", and splashed the "dirty water" on Wang Shenli unscrupulously.

"Oh, really?" Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "I will relay your original words to him word for word!" ”

Li Xingxiu was stunned for a moment, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, don't mind!" If you have something to say, you can talk about it! ”

Zhao Zhen: "It's okay if I don't say it, then you can tell me honestly, what are you doing?" ”

Li Xingxiu: "Your Majesty, first of all, I declare that the tasks you handed over to your ministers have been completed with quality and quantity!" However, the work of making salt was too monotonous, so the minister spent a little spare time studying shipbuilding, and he definitely did not delay the business! ”

Zhao Zhen: "A little? ”

"Alright! It's a little bit more! Li Xingxiu saw Zhao Zhen's familiar cunning eyes, so he had to honestly confess his "crime".

Zhao Zhen: "Okay! I'm just kidding you. To get back to the point, I originally intended to put you in charge of the industrial side of the day, but now that you've found your interest, I'm going to give you a choice. The first way is to continue to be in charge of industrial affairs, and if you do a good job, I will set up another one for you in the future, or you can get a book. The second way, this one has little to do with being an official, but it has to do with your love of shipbuilding. Think about it! ”

Li Xingxiu struggled for a long time before he asked Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, can you tell your ministers a little bit about the second way?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "It seems that you already have the answer in your heart, so I will tell you that since you were a child, I have told you that the importance of the ocean to the development of my Great Song Dynasty is just because there are still many restrictions at the moment, and I have no time to take care of the ocean." However, I can assure you that as long as I have my hands freed, I will vigorously exploit the resources of the sea. The vast ocean is rich in resources, but it also comes with various risks and difficulties, and the boat is one of the most basic and important tools.

Although the current shipbuilding technology of our Great Song Dynasty is not bad, or it is outstanding, it is still difficult to achieve real ocean exploration. Just like I sent Yang Sien and them to the Americas a few years ago, those two ships were created by me with a lot of effort and resources, but they are still a little unable to cope with the complex marine environment, and this model cannot be replicated on a large scale, so I need a leader! ”

"Your Majesty, don't sensationalize with the ministers, you see that the ministers' eyes are red!" Li Xingxiu made a grimace, pulled her eyes and approached Zhao Zhen, and said pitifully: "Can you just tell the minister directly?" ”

Zhao Zhen shuddered, twisted his hair and pulled him to a safe distance, before he said to him: "This thing is also very simple to say, if we want to develop an industry, we must first come out of the whole school, as long as there are talents, nothing is a matter?" ”

Lee Sung-so: "So...... You want me to be a teacher? ”

Zhao Zhen: "To be precise, be the dean!" I intend to build one or two marine colleges first, one of which is in Jiangning Mansion, relying on the Queen's original ship research institute to build slowly. The other one is that I want to open in Guangzhou, which is where you need to go. ”

Li Xingxiu: "Your Majesty, the minister stated in advance that the minister didn't want to shirk. Kechen has no experience at all, and you can fool the past if you let the minister be a teacher, which has to be done by the minister and feel bottomless. Moreover, the minister has not been in contact with ship construction for a long time, and the masters of those shipyards may be better than me, is it a bit unreliable for you to let me be the dean? ”

"Experience?" Zhao Zhen sneered and said: "How can there be so much experience in this world, and everything has a first experience." I have always told you, don't learn from those old men's thinking patterns, you have to quote scriptures to do big things, the ancestors didn't say they couldn't do it, Nima's ancestors are also people, how can they have so much time to do everything again. You see, we still know very little about this world, and there are still many unknown secrets that you need to explore, and it may seem to you that I know many strange things, but I also have many things that I don't understand. This is also the purpose of my unrestricted development, hoping that you will get used to exploring, otherwise, the things in my head alone will be enough for you to learn for several lifetimes! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister knows that he is wrong! Li Xingxiu buried his head and said: "The minister still asks you to give me some advice, otherwise the minister won't know how to start for a while." ”

Zhao Zhen: "Okay! I'll just say it briefly, the rest is up to you. ”

Li Xingxiu: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The minister will use his brain more! ”

Zhao Zhen: "Since I asked you to build the Ocean Academy, then you naturally have to think more about what is the role of this Ocean Academy?" ”

Li Xingxiu: "Teaching people to build ships, and driving ships, right?" Emperor. ”

Zhao Zhen: "Cultivating shipbuilding technicians and ship pilots is just the most basic function of the marine school. In addition, everything related to the sea can be included in the scope of teaching, such as nautical charting, maritime trade, ...... Wait, you have to improve it yourself. In short, I can give you money, or I can give you people, as long as you give me a down-to-earth way to get the Ocean Academy up, it is not the most important thing to do good or bad, the most important thing is to learn to move forward in the groping, and you must not engage in some vain things to fool me, do you understand? ”

Li Xingxiu: "Your Majesty, don't worry, no one dares to fool you!" As long as you don't dislike the minister, this living minister will take it! ”

Zhao Zhen: "If you take the job, you will do a good job for me, and you will be rewarded for doing a good job, if you mess with me, I will clean you up!" ”

"Hey, hey! No, you can't! Li Xingxiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you see that you give the minister such a big job, you can't let the minister go empty-handed!" Doesn't it mean to the minister? ”

"Yo ho! I didn't expect you kid to go out and learn badly for a few years! Zhao Zhen slapped him, and then pointed to a few boxes in the corner and said, "Don't worry, I'm not such an unparticular person, everything is ready for you, you can take it away directly!" ”

"Oops! That's a lot! Li Xingxiu said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you won't be gold for your ministers!" It's great to grow so big and see so much money! ”

"You're thinking too much! These boxes are full of books, and they are all about ships and seas, some of which I have collected from the people, and some of which I have summarized myself, which will be very helpful for you to run a school. However, I still want to tell you that some of this knowledge is as advanced as what I have taught you, and you may not need it at the moment, so you should use it with caution. All in all, I don't want you to teach you only a working body without a mind. Zhao Zhen didn't care about his feelings, and directly broke a large bucket of cold water for him.

"Isn't it!" When Li Xingxiu heard that there was no money, the gap between the front and back was too big, and his heart ached, so he looked at Zhao Zhen pitifully, stretched out a finger, and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you give the minister a box!" The minister is not greedy, just a box, okay? ”

"Alright! Don't put on such a grimace for me, I haven't learned anything after going out for a few years, and I'll learn some oily tricks. Zhao Zhen glared at him, and then took out a fold from his pocket and handed it to him: "You take this!" ”

Li Xingxiu: "What is it?" Emperor. ”

Zhao Zhen: "This is a note from the queen, you just need to take it to Guangzhou to find the Yanhuang Sea Trade Company, and they will unconditionally support you to start the Ocean Academy." ”

When Li Xingxiu heard this, he happily took the fold and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" It's better for you, the minister knows that you will definitely not ignore the minister! It's okay now, there are rich people, this feeling is doubly cool! ”

This kind of white glanced at him: "You are cool, I am still depressed!" ”

Li Xingxiu: "What's wrong?" Emperor. ”

"Alas!" Zhao Zhen sighed: "I urgently need to develop the industrial system of our dynasty now, I originally planned to let you do this work, no, you are not interested, I haven't found a satisfactory candidate for a while!" ”

Li Xingxiu: "Your Majesty, why don't you listen to the minister's thoughts?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Say it! ”

Li Xingxiu: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have considered Sien?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "He? I sent him a job before, and I really didn't think about it for a while, tell me what you think! ”

"Hmm!" Li Xingxiu nodded: "Your Majesty, you have personally taught several of us, and you must know our abilities best." Maybe Sien was a little worse at learning, but he was the most lively, the most interpersonal, and the most organized of us. In addition, a few years ago, you sent him to the Americas, and you also gave him a lot of training plans along the way, and the minister also met him in the south, and the minister felt that he was very mature now, and you let him work in such a remote place in the south as well. If the minister says something disrespectful, you should also express your ...... to him."

Zhao Zhen rubbed his forehead: "You are reminding me that I had planned it a long time ago, but it was disturbed by the invasion of Liao." He's been idle in the south for a few years, and it's time for him to come out and work! ”

"The minister thanked the emperor on his behalf first!" Li Xingxiu pretended to arch his hand towards Zhao Zhen, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister still wants to recommend someone to you, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

Zhao Zhen: "Who?" Let's talk about it first, don't mention the people in your guys, there are still many places for me to use! ”

Li Xingxiu: "Don't worry! This person has not been in contact with the minister for a long time, but even if he is still a little young, you have to spend some energy to cultivate it, and the minister thinks his understanding is quite good! His name is Su Song, and he has just turned twelve years old, what do you think? ”

Zhao Zhen: "I ask you first, how do you know him?" ”

Li Xingxiu: "Back to the emperor, after returning to Beijing, the minister heard that the research institute also has a Su Xian who studies ships, and he also studies ships running underwater, so he thought it was very interesting, so he went to make friends, and met his nephew, that is, Su Song." Listen to you, and you know him? ”

Zhao Zhen nodded: "That's right!" I arranged all of this, but don't tell me about it, or I'll have to clean you up, you know? (To be continued.) )
