Of course, Lin Hanlong's boasting is not all foolishness, at least Zhou Yanru and others feel that they have understood a lot, and they don't feel so mysterious about the "wireless telegraphy" - originally, many major inventions in the history of science are not complicated, and the atomic bomb is just a chain reaction.

"Mr. Lin said it thoroughly, today I know the magic of mathematics, it turns out that you can play so many tricks just by using the two states of 'on' and 'off'...... I really don't know what kind of talent it was to create such a strange thing. ”

Zhou Yanru was born in the top of the family, and his mind is absolutely good, and after listening to Lin Hanlong explain the basic principles of binary, he felt that he had mastered the key points. As for how long the road is from understanding the principle to really making something practical, these Ming Dynasty cultural people who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics all their lives are too lazy to care, anyway, they are all craftsmen's learning, and they can't be called the Great Dao.

- Of course, they will definitely not say it to their faces, but these short hairs are just a typical example of the craftsman's learning to play flowers. Zhou Yanru was not arrogant enough to think that he could make a real thing by himself after listening to some principles, and Lin Hanlong's rather frank explanation at least showed that Shorthair had no intention of keeping this technology secret at all, and that directly spending money to buy finished products and services was definitely the most efficient and advantageous way.

If a pure engineer comes over, such as Xu Hui, maybe he will follow Zhou Yanru's polite words and talk about technical aspects. But this is not the case with Lin Hanlong, who knows that these officials are at best perfunctory, and in their hearts they are not interested in the flow of technology - the same is true for most bureaucrats in modern society. So after many years of experience in pulling projects, he only made a brief mention of the technical aspects, so that the other side would not be completely left to the sky, and the next thing was mainly some very practical content - how many transfer stations need to be set up, how much each station will cost on average, and how many staff will be arranged and trained...... These are all things that these Ming Dynasty officials here can understand and are within their purview. Of course, the real handling definitely doesn't need these big masters. But as Shangguan, they have made a lot of things clear in advance now, and it will be much easier to do it in the future - if they really want to take over this project, Lin Hanlong himself must be in charge.

Lin Hanlong was pulled by a group of old men to "talk about business", and Xu Yingyuan, the Yongkang waiting master, could only chat with Guo Yixian, Xu Yingyuan himself is quite old, and he always has to maintain a little elder frame in front of these future sons-in-law, so it is more his son Xu Xideng who comes forward to communicate. Although there is a generation gap of more than 300 years, we are still young people and can still find some common language.

Like all boys. The little marquis Xu Xideng is also most interested in war, especially since the rise of the Qiong navy, which has never lost a battle, and its amazing achievements have long been spread all over the world. When these Wuxun children usually talk about it, they are naturally extremely envious. At this time, I had the opportunity to communicate with a real short-haired, although Guo Yi said that he had not actually been on the battlefield much, and he was a standard civilian in the Qiong Navy team, but Xu Xideng was still full of interest in talking with him - Guo Yi was also a member of the management committee, and he had never been on the battlefield in person, but all kinds of examples of war reports were clear. What's more, the first battle that started with short-haired back then: more than 100 people defeated the 5,000 elite soldiers of Qiongzhou Mansion. He had participated in this battle, and it was not completely inexperienced.

The two talked for a few words, and the topic finally turned to the hottest Liaodong war at present. Xu Xideng also read the telegram, and at this time he took the telegram and kept asking:

"Brother Guo. It says that the chief of the Eastern Captives commanded, 'Whoever can take the true head will have four futures'—what does this mean? ”

"Well, Houjin, that is, the rules on the Dongyu side: from the lowest coated minions to the highest status Baylor level, a total of twenty-four futures are divided. They have made great contributions within themselves. Usually only half the way forward is rewarded. In other words, whoever can get our heads can upgrade eight levels in a row at once - our 'real' heads are worth a lot. So you have to be careful. ”

Guo Yi smiled and pointed to his head, the training work he had always done in the team. He had a lot of experience in dealing with young people in the Ming Dynasty, and soon eliminated the sense of estrangement between him and Xu Xideng. Later, Xu Xideng asked about the situation of "Pang Junshi" and "Xie Junmen" and "Xiao Junmen", obviously these people had a relatively high reputation in the Ming Dynasty. Although Guo Yi was a little sour in his heart, he also patiently answered them one by one.

…………

The rest of the flower hall is a similar scene, this is the first large-scale contact between the upper class of the Ming Dynasty and the strange force of the Qiong Navy - although Chen Tao has been in Beijing for more than a year, due to his personal ability and interests, he is more of a visitor, only interacting with some specific groups of people, and does not really open up the situation of communication with the Ming Empire's high-level exchanges.

And the blind date group that came to Beijing this time, although to a large extent, also came with the mentality of tourism, but after all, because of its large number of people, and there are talents from all walks of life, their speech and demeanor, as well as their attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, are naturally regarded as representing the entire Qiong Navy.

Of course, there are those who can be discussed, and there are those who can't. After all, the "generation gap" between each other is too different, and the three views are completely different, even if they both want to work hard to pull the relationship up, not all of them can succeed.

Cartoonist Wang Chen met one. Originally, he saw that the person was outstanding, and he was dressed very wonderfully: he was wearing a gold-threaded hundred butterflies and red flower arrow sleeves, a colorful palace silk around his waist, and a stone blue brocade tassel gown; Feet on the foundation towards the boots. He wears a purple and gold crown with a bunch of hair on his head, and a big red pom-pom on his head! The shape is similar to the Jia Baoyu in the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" that Wang Chen watched before, and he is completely dressed as a child of a family.

Wang Chen was happy when he saw it - can he really meet a treasure jade here? Looking for an opportunity to go over and talk, of course the other side is not surnamed Jia, but he is indeed a son of the prince of the Eight Classics, but his personality and temper are similar to that of the second master of Bao - there is nothing to talk about with a dirty man like Wang Chen. Although it seems to be limited to the requirements of the elders, and he is trying to socialize as much as possible, it is still obvious that people can clearly perceive that this person is not very good at communicating, or that he does not want to socialize.

Wang Chen quickly sensed the other party's impatience, and did not force it anymore, and found an opportunity to say that he would change his clothes and withdraw first. I went to the toilet with the people of the Hou Mansion, and when I came back, I passed under the corridor, but I accidentally saw that on the wall of the back garden of the Hou Mansion, a small eaves corner of a half-red and not gray building was obliquely exposed, and it felt particularly flavorful against the background of the gloomy sky.

People who engage in art are always prone to go crazy from time to time - Wang Chen suddenly felt inspired, and even if he copied the guy, he always carried a painting clip, drawing paper and charcoal with him, and regardless of the cold outside, he sat on the steps and started sketching. About an hour later, a charcoal painting was completed, with Wang Chen's art skills, and it was in the state of Yixing that the things drawn would certainly not be bad, and Wang Chen himself was also very satisfied.

And when he woke up from the artistic atmosphere, he found that there was an extra brazier around him, no wonder he didn't feel cold at all. Another young maid stood beside her, cowering and asking him if he could give him the picture. Wang Chen's enthusiasm for creation has been expressed, and he doesn't attach much importance to the product itself, so he rewarded her casually, and saw that the little girl left with the drawing paper with a thousand thanks, and there was a lot of Wang Chenzhi's self-satisfaction of "coming with excitement and returning with joy".

After that, there were no accidents, and everyone got into the car and went home after the visit was completed. This matter was just a whim, and there should have been no follow-up - Wang Chen himself quickly forgot about it, until Hu Wen found him with a serious face a few days later:

"What did you do in the Yongkang Hou Mansion that day?"

Looking at Hu Wen's posture, it seems that he has done something bad, and Artist Wang is naturally inexplicable:

"I didn't do anything, I just talked to people like you did...... Oh, and a sketch. ”

"What were you drawing?"

"I painted a small two-story building, just an ancient building."

"Just drawing buildings?"

Faced with Hu Wen's repeated questions, Wang Chen finally remembered:

"Oh, I seemed to see a figure flashing upstairs, and I made a stroke casually...... It's just a shadow, covered by a veil, and I don't see anything! ”

Regarding Wang Chen's defense, Hu Wen glanced at him a few times with a rather strange gaze, which made the latter very depressed:

"It's none other than Miss Xu's family on the embroidered floor, we're here to discuss marriage, even if we paint her residence, it's not a shameful thing, right?"

In this regard, Hu Wen sighed and shook her head:

"That's not Miss Xu...... is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. ”

- That is the daughter of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, and the wife of the former Yongkang Marquis Xu Xiyin, which is recorded in the history books: it is said that she was a widow when she was a teenager and has never stepped down from that small building in her life. Until 1644, when the city of Beijing was destroyed, the small building was burned to ashes, and the poor woman's life came to an end.

Of course, the history books praise this woman's "martyrdom", but no one knows what the wishes of the parties themselves are. However, one thing is certain - the Chengguo Mansion did not approve of the Yongkang Hou Xu Mansion's practice of exchanging the lifelong happiness of his own daughter for a chastity archway.

Why? - Because Hu Wen was just approached by someone from the Chengguo Mansion, and this is why she came to Wang Chen at this moment:

"The people from the Chengguo Mansion said that they could take care of the Xu family. So you want me to ask, would you like to take over one...... Twenty-four little widow? (To be continued.) )
