Zhao Jia is also worried these days, especially afraid of seeing his father Zhao Yan, because many people know about his plan to apply for the Naval Academy of the Military Academy, but he still hides it from his father, and he doesn't know if his mother has already told his father, which makes him afraid that one day Zhao Yan will find him angrily and reprimand him.

But what are you afraid of, this day is the tenth day, Zhao Jia practiced martial arts alone at home, and then was about to go to find a few younger brothers to go around the street, but at this moment, I suddenly saw my cousin Zhao Xu who came to class panting and ran over, and when he saw him, he immediately shouted: "Tang...... Cousin, the third uncle called you over! ”

As soon as he heard his father call him, Zhao Jia's whole body trembled with fright, but he also knew that he couldn't escape, so it was better to simply go to his father to talk to him, anyway, it would be the same if he died early or late. Thinking of this, Zhao Jia suddenly felt no nervous, didn't say anything at the moment, and followed Zhao Xu to see Zhao Yan.

"Cousin, I have already told the third uncle all the words you taught me, but the third uncle suddenly realized that you taught me, so I have done my best, you can ask for more blessings!" Zhao Xu whispered to Zhao Jia as he walked, although he betrayed Zhao Jia very unjustly just now, but at this time, he did not forget to kindly remind Zhao Jia to get ready.

"I knew that if I had known that, I would have said those words to my father myself." Zhao Jia had completely calmed down at this time, and was not frustrated by Zhao Xu's failed persuasion.

After a while, Zhao Jia and Zhao Xu came to Zhao Yan, only to see that Zhao Yan was still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai at this time, and the expression on his face was also very calm, and he did not show anger, which also made Zhao Jia secretly relieved, because he knew that his father would never hide his emotions in front of him. To be angry is to be angry, and now that he is so calm shows that he is not angry.

"Sit down!" Zhao Yan didn't look back and pointed to the seat next to him, Zhao Jia also sat down honestly after hearing it, as for Zhao Xu, he ran back to his seat with a smile and picked up the fishing rod, pretending to be serious fishing, in fact, everyone knew that he was eavesdropping with his ears sideways.

"Father. I ......"

Zhao Jiagang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhao Yan's mouth: "Jia'er, my father just wants to ask you, have you really decided to apply for the Naval Academy, and have you thought it through?" ”

Hearing his father ask himself this question as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Jia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said with a decisive face: "Father, I want to think clearly." After graduating from the Naval Academy, I will join the Navy, and although I may encounter a lot of dangers and difficulties in doing so, I will never regret it! ”

Seeing the son in front of him, who was almost as tall as himself, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the children are all older, and they all have their own ideas, and he, as a father, can no longer help them make decisions about everything.

Think of the above. Zhao Yan looked at Zhao Jia's determined expression again, and finally spoke: "Okay." Now that you've decided, I don't want to stop you anymore, you can apply for the Naval Academy. ”

"Thank you, father!" Hearing that his father finally agreed to apply for the Naval Academy, Zhao Jia couldn't help but shout excitedly, he had been distressed by this matter all this time, and now he can finally put his mind at ease.

"Don't be too happy just yet. You can apply for the Naval Academy, but if you want to serve in the Navy in the future, you must follow my arrangement, otherwise you don't want to enter the army! Zhao Yan added again at this time, after several expansions of the original water division. already has the foundation of an independent army, so the naval division was renamed the navy, and the entire navy was almost built by Zhao Yan, although now he has handed over the navy to the imperial court, but he still has incomparable influence in the navy.

"Huh? Father, you don't want to send me to work on land, do you? Zhao Jia's face immediately collapsed when he heard this, and said, in addition to the huge sea fleet, the navy also has a large number of soldiers and managers stationed in the ports on land, these people generally do not need to get on the warship, Zhao Jia doesn't want to be on the ship for the rest of his life, he joined the navy just to drive the navy but take a look around the world.

"Don't worry, I don't know your mind yet? I will definitely not arrange you to go on land, but during this time you should go to your cousin Wang Shu's place a little more, he is working on a new ship, this kind of ship is completely different from the previous ships, and it is likely to equip the navy in the future, if you don't understand the principles and driving of this kind of ship, you will definitely not be able to become a good admiral! Zhao Yan smiled again at this time and said, since he can't stop his son's dream, try to help him make this dream safer.

"Third uncle, the new ship you are talking about won't be a ship powered by a steam engine, right?" At this time, Zhao Xu suddenly interjected, last time he had seen a train driven by a steam engine, and he also knew that the steam engine could be used in various industries, so the invention of the steam ship was naturally a natural thing.

"Hehe, Xu'er, you're quite smart, yes, that kind of ship is a steamship, Jia'er should also know!" Zhao Yan smiled again and said, the invention of the steam engine will drive the rapid development of a large number of industries, and the navigation industry is naturally one of them, and when the steam ship goes to sea, it can overcome many difficulties and dangers on the sea, making the navigation more safe and reliable, and even if Zhao Jia enters the navy, the safety will be more guaranteed, which is one of the main reasons why he agreed with Zhao Jia to enter the navy.

"Steamship? Cousin: Has the jet monster he studied for so many years finally come to fruition? Zhao Jia was also a little surprised when he heard this, he grew up behind Wang Shu's ass since he was a child, and naturally knew that Wang Shu had been studying the steam engine, and he was ignorant when he was a child, so he always called the steam engine a jet monster, and he didn't change it until now.

"Yes, the steam engine can be put into practical use before, five days ago I took Xu'er to take a steam engine-powered train, which can move quickly on the track, as long as there is no failure, and ensure enough fuel and water, then the train can run forever without rest, and now your cousin has begun to study the installation of the steam engine on the ship, it must not be long before it will bear fruit." Zhao Yan smiled and said, although the invention of the train is of great significance, and the Tokyo Daily has also made a special report for it, but unfortunately not many people have seen this new thing, so it has not attracted too many people's attention at all, not even Zhao Yan's own son, let alone those who don't even know what a steam engine is.

"Great!" Zhao Jia said that he wanted to run when he jumped up, probably because he wanted to see the train with his own eyes, but he suddenly thought that he was talking to his father about applying for the Naval Academy, and immediately reacted, so he sat down with a smile, but he looked eager to try, and probably wanted to take the train in person.

"Okay, you're done going to the Naval Academy, the road is your own choice, no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter in the future, you have to go down this road, there is nothing else to do, you can go wherever you want!" When Zhao Yan saw Zhao Jia's appearance, he also knew that his mind had already flown to the train, and he couldn't listen to what he said, so it was better to let him go and let him know more about the steam engine.

"Thank you Daddy, the child must remember Daddy's teachings, and he will definitely make an example in the Navy in the future!" Zhao Jia reassured again when he heard this, and after speaking, he said goodbye to Zhao Yan and prepared to leave.

"Cousin wait!" At this time, Zhao Xu suddenly shouted, and then saw him smile at Zhao Yan and said, "Third uncle, I was surprised when I got on the train last time, and I didn't seriously understand the principle of train operation at all, do you think I can go with my cousin today?" ”

"Go, go, and call them all together, lest they will find out and pester me to take them in the future!" Zhao Yan waved his hand at this time and said, anyway, he didn't prepare a course for Zhao Xu today, so it is better to give him a day off, and it is also good for Zhao Xu to be able to learn more about the steam engine.

Seeing Zhao Yan agree, Zhao Xu also cheered, threw down the fishing rod and jumped up and ran back to the palace with Zhao Jia to call Zhao Bei and them.

Looking at the backs of Zhao Jia and Zhao Xu leaving, Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth, unconsciously, the children have grown up, and they are slowly going to choose their own life path, Zhao Jia is the first, and his younger brothers and sisters will also go out one after another in the future, which makes Zhao Yan feel happy and a little indescribable loss.

Zhao Yan fished for a day, and only returned home when the sun was about to set, Zhao Jia and Zhao Xu have not come back, it is estimated that they don't have to wait for dinner, during the meal, Zhao Yan personally announced Zhao Jia's application for the Naval Academy, indicating that he had agreed to this matter, Yan Yuru and Xue Ning'er actually knew about this matter for a long time, and now seeing Zhao Yan agree, they all smiled at each other, but Cao Ying was a little sad while being happy, after all, his son has grown up, and he no longer needs to stay under the wings of his parents. This made her, as a mother, a little lost like Zhao Yan.

After dinner, Zhao Yan asked people to boil some digestible porridge, and then personally carried it out of the palace and came to a quiet courtyard next to the palace, where Huang Wude lived, but in recent years, Huang Wude has been very old, and his appetite is not good, and he often doesn't want to eat, so Zhao Yan often comes to urge him to eat, and by the way, he can also chat with him.

However, when Zhao Yan was in Huang Wude's courtyard today, he heard Huang Wude's hearty laughter in the room, and at the same time there were other people's voices, one of which was a woman's voice, which made Zhao Yan also stop in surprise. (To be continued......)
