Chapter 42: Departure
Zhou Bei had no resistance to going to Zhongzhou, but he was a little surprised by being in such a hurry.
He smiled embarrassedly and asked, "Master Li, are you leaving tomorrow?" It's 600 kilometers back to Trois-Rivières from here, and it's early in the morning when you go back, so you can set off without resting? ”
Li Ji smiled and said, "The matter on your body is very important, and Your Majesty requires strict secrecy. In order not to let more people know, we don't even sit in civil aviation.
Leave one night tonight, on the one hand, to let you pack your bags, but also to say goodbye to your family and arrange trivial matters, and on the other hand, to keep it secret.
I'll be with you tonight, and it's best not to get out of my sight. ”
Zhou Bei was not surprised by this, and asked: "Then what about my studies?" ”
"We have transferred your school status, and when we go to Zhongzhou, after meeting Your Majesty, we will arrange for you to enter high school to take the college entrance examination. If you can give full play to your abilities in secondary school and graduate from college within two years, Your Majesty will naturally reuse you. ”
"Okay......"
Li Ji arranged it very properly, and Zhou Bei had no room for refutation, so he could only act according to the order.
He got out of the car and got close to his family, called his father to the car, and then returned to Trois-Rivières together.
Sanhe Mansion is the most remote mansion in Xuezhou County, 600 kilometers away from Xuezhou County, the most convenient is of course to take a plane, but there are no flights at this time.
The train takes an overnight journey, and some can't catch it up, so it's fastest to drive yourself.
In the car, sitting in the same car with Li Ji, a famous Ming hero, Zhou Duo looked very uncomfortable.
However, when he talked to Zhou Bei about the arrangements for moving back to Zhongzhou, the father and son had endless words.
Li Ji has been silent, but he has been silently observing Zhou Bei.
This kid is not only capable of being outstanding, but also has an outstanding handsome appearance.
No matter how high the fourth princess's vision is, I'm afraid she will be fascinated.
With the memory of another world, and then becoming His Majesty's son-in-law, his life is destined to be brilliant in the future.
I just don't know how His Majesty will arrange for him, whether it will be arranged in Shinrikyo or stay by his side?
No matter how it is arranged, Jin Yiwei's side must maintain a close relationship with him.
At two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Bei and his entourage arrived at the farm outside Sanhe City.
Although it was very late, I had already called back, and the sisters-in-law who stayed at home made dinner when they were about to arrive.
When Zhou Bei and the others arrived home, the hot meal had just been cooked.
At this time, Zhou's mother had time to get close to her son.
Zhou Bei's ability is not allowed to leak out, and even his family members don't know his memories of another world, what they tell them is that His Majesty and the Mechanical Research Institute of the Truth Sect attach great importance to Zhou Bei's ability and should focus on cultivating it.
The Zhou family was overjoyed to move back to Central Continent, you must know that today's Ming Dynasty, if you want to move back to Central Continent, or become an official in Central Continent, you need the best ability.
Even for the people born in the Ming Dynasty, except for the eldest son, the rest of the sons had to move out.
The strict household registration system is to balance the inside and outside and assimilate other ethnic groups, which is the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can violate it.
In addition to his parents, Zhou Bei also met his grandparents and third brother Zhou Xi, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
The third brother is still studying mechanical engineering at Xuezhou University, and he is only a sophomore this year, and this time he was also transferred to the best university in the world, Yingtianfu Royal Institute of Technology.
My grandparents are now almost eighty years old, and the Liu family has taken root in Sangzhi City, they were born in Dongzhou, and now they are old, and they are unwilling to move back to Zhongzhou.
Seeing that they were trembling and might die at any time, Li Ji also agreed that they would not relocate, and only let the eldest son and eldest grandson follow the Zhou family to migrate back to Central Continent.
Zhou Bei's uncle Liu Quan, who is 62 years old this year and just retired last year, was originally an engineer at the Fifth Tractor Factory, and Zhou's mother was introduced to Zhou Duo by him.
The couple's post-retirement procedures are very simple, and they only need to transfer their pension account back to Middle-earth.
On the contrary, the working relationship between the people of the Zhou family is more difficult, Zhou Duo is already a five-grade senior engineer, and the receiving unit and suitable positions need to be adjusted.
The eldest brother and second brother of the Zhou family, as well as the elder sister and brother-in-law in the Governor's City, their working relationships must be handled one by one.
However, as long as the above speaks, you can always arrange the right position.
Zhou Bei is leaving tomorrow, others can arrange it later, the house here is for sale, and it takes time to handle the work relationship.
Li Ji followed Zhou Bei to his small courtyard, wooden house, and workshop, and watched him pack up his things.
Other clothes are not important, what is important is the design information accumulated by Zhou Bei, which should follow Zhou Bei to Yingtianfu.
In addition to the drawings and materials, they sealed the work warehouse in Zhoubei, and all the semi-finished parts in it were numbered one by one and shipped to Zhongzhou.
The night was busy, and at dawn, there were six full boxes of materials, and there were two boxes of materials in the middle, all of which were transferred from the space by Zhou Bei while Li Ji was not paying attention.
At seven o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, a box of clothes and six boxes of drawings were loaded into the car.
When saying goodbye, Zhou Bei knelt down and looked at the faces of his parents and other relatives, and suddenly broke his defense.
"Father, mother, are on top. The child is about to travel far away, and he can't wait in front of his mother, but he also hopes that his father will take care of his body, and his mother will live a relaxed life, and when his parents go to Middle-earth, he will be filial to his mother. ”
Zhou Bei choked up and finished speaking, kowtowed to his parents three times, and tears couldn't help but flow.
Zhou Duo looked at the son of Yushu Linfeng in front of him, and a thousand words turned into a sigh. "You don't have to be a child, you just go first, and your mother and I will go there in two months at the latest.
We are no longer around, you should not waste your time, you should study with your heart, be a pillar of talent, and serve the country and the people. ”
Zhou's mother cried even more than Zhou Bei, and when Zhou Bei finished kowtowing, she couldn't wait to hug him and get up, took out a handkerchief, and helped Zhou Bei wipe away the tears on his face.
"The mother of the child is worried, but this trip is for the sake of study, even if the mother is reluctant, it will not hinder the future of the fourth son. Let's go over first, and when we take care of the affairs of the family, our family will be together again. ”
Grandpa and grandma trembled and stepped forward, grandma took a sachet from her waist, squatted down to help Zhou Bei tie it around her waist.
"Your grandfather and I are old, and if we say goodbye today, I am afraid that there will be no day to see each other again. When I came yesterday, I picked up a handful of soil in the farmland, put it in a sachet, and returned to Yingtianfu in the future, and don't forget that the land of Dongzhou once raised you. ”
Zhou Bei hugged his grandmother's thin and rickety body. "My grandson remembered."
Outside the family, only Hou Guiqiang and Xu Gongcheng were allowed to come over.
Hou Guiqiang saw the importance that the commander of the Jinyi Guard attached to Zhou Bei, and had decided to follow Zhou Bei.
He would stay in the Three Rivers Mansion to take care of his personal affairs, and then accompany the Zhou family to Zhongzhou with Xu Gongcheng.
The convoy set off, and Zhou Bei's heart was not too reluctant, because they would soon follow to Yingtianfu to join him.
It's just that Zhou Bei's heart is a little uneasy about the changes in the future.
His safety is now in the hands of His Majesty, and as the most powerful man in this world, his personal likes and dislikes will determine his fate.
In this world, although Emperor Zhengde is not as wise and martial as Gaozu, he is also a generation of Ming monarchs.
Emperor Gaozu was carefully cultivated at the beginning, and it took six years for him to sit on the throne.
Then fifteen years passed, and it was not until the death of Emperor Gaozu that he really ascended to the throne.
In another world, Emperor Zhengde is a little ridiculous, but there is no great evil, but his untimely death makes people sigh.
However, in this world, Confucianism is in decline, and Emperor Gaozu created a Ming Dynasty with professional officials, who have no basic ability and cannot be officials.
Officials in the legal profession need to be familiar with the law, and soldiers must be familiar with the art of war and be proficient in all kinds of warfare.
Civil officials need to be familiar with weather changes, agriculture, industrial co-ordination, and so on.
Officials in charge of agriculture can never be in charge of industry, and vice versa.
To be able to do the longevity of a place is to have made great contributions and have been specially trained in overall management.
From the thirty years of orthodoxy, the Ming Dynasty canceled the imperial examination. In the past, the rule that you could become an official after being admitted to the Jinshi has been changed for more than 60 years.
Those corrupt people who can only read are not qualified to be officials.
But no matter how the system is changed, this world is still managed by people, and this world is still the emperor's greatest.
And he is now going to face the biggest man in the world.
He is not afraid that his abilities do not meet his needs, he is only afraid that he will be capricious......
The car drove into the airfield of the Fifth Tractor Factory, and a medium-sized Kunpeng plane was already parked on the runway.
Daming did not have jets, no matter how big or small, they were propeller planes.
Small planes can fly at speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour, and this medium-sized plane, which can seat 30 or 40 people, can reach a cruising speed of about 350.
The large Kunpeng aircraft developed by Pope Leonardo da Vinci has a speed of more than 500 per hour, can carry 150 people, and fly 5,000 kilometers.
However, the plane used by the General Administration Department to transport gold obviously does not need to be so large, and the pursuit of timeliness is not so high, and it has not begun to be refitted, and this kind of aircraft can only fly directly for 2,500 kilometers at most when it is fully fueled.
This also means that the two-day journey that Zhou Bei thought would become three days, or even four days.
There was no one else at the airport to see them off, and there was no one else next to the plane, only a duke's car parked at the entrance.
Seeing Zhou Bei's car arrive, Zhu Lihua and Yu Cheng got out of the car, followed by Zhu Qian.
I haven't seen her for a few days, Zhu Lihua's expression is much haggard, and her previous arrogance is gone.
Yu Cheng stepped forward to greet him cordially and exchanged a few words with Li Ji. Zhu Lihua's luggage has been loaded onto the plane, just waiting for Zhou Bei and them.
Zhou Bei was injured, and the driver, Liu, the central bank's special manager, and the escort personnel came down and carried Zhou Bei's luggage.
When I got on the plane, I found that this medium-sized aircraft was completely different from that of civil aviation.
There are only four rows of seats on it, with the front two rows facing backwards and the back two rows facing forward, sitting opposite each other, and meeting and eating in the middle.
There is a safe on each side of the back, an open space in the middle that serves as a cargo hold, and a bunk bed in front of it to block the luggage in the back and also sleep people.
