Chapter Twenty-Seven: Where Is the Heavenly Machine? Right here at the Northern Institute of Technology! (Ask for collections, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendations, ask for follow-up)

A long train rumbled slowly into the North Railway Station near Xizhimen in Beijing in a steaming white steam, and also sent Zhuge Weidao to a capital city that he was both familiar with and unfamiliar with.

Zhuge Weidao was not from the imperial capital in his previous life, but he studied at a university in Beijing, and his university alma mater is quite close to Xizhimen...... I don't know where it is now.

And the Zhuge of this life is the Tao, which is the authentic Beijing Zhuge ! Although the ancestral home of the Zhuge family is not in Beijing, since the Ming Dynasty returned to Beijing, most of the members of the Zhuge family have moved to Beijing. On the way to Beijing, Zhuge Weidao's manager, He Tianran, also told him that he still had his own house in Beijing. It is a large quadrangle, and the location is in the west courtyard of Goolan Hutong on the edge of the imperial city...... Goolan Hutong? Sounds pretty hilarious!

But isn't he amnesia?

Therefore, I have no impression of this industrialized Beijing city, his home in Goulan Hutong in the West Courtyard, and his life before his amnesia. When he stepped off the platform, he was like a Ming Beipiao who had just come to Beijing from his hometown, with his mouth open, his eyes wide, looking around at the busy streets, the elegant buildings and the comings and goings, looking at the pedestrians who were very energetic.

China in 1826 could have been so rich, prosperous and advanced!

In fact, when the train drove into the factory area of Xuanhua City yesterday evening, Zhuge Weidao was already shocked by the heavy industry factory area that he had heard and saw...... Although those industrial facilities cannot be compared with the heavy chemical industrial facilities owned by China, which has climbed to the position of the world's factory in the 21st century, it is only 1826 after all!

Even if the development of technology in 1826 was accelerated by the emergence of King Wu Zhong, and it had reached the level of 1896 in another timeline, there were probably few industrial facilities of that scale that could be taken in another timeline in 1896, right?

When the train passed through the Badaling Tunnel and entered the plain area south of Yanshan, Zhuge Weidao saw the prosperity along the railway again. At first glance, you can see that there are very rich small towns one after another, and these small towns are separated by wooden fences of family farms (pastures), and each farm (pasture) covers an area of about 100 acres. Automobiles and tractors should not have been invented yet, so four-wheeled carriages loaded with produce can often be seen on country roads near the railway. The houses on the farm (pasture) also look very strong and beautiful - Zhuge Weidao knows that Chinese like to buy houses when they have money, so depending on the people's livelihood somewhere, you can generally look at the houses.

Along the way, Zhuge didn't see any dilapidated houses, and the farms separated by wooden fences and bamboo fences were about the same size. It is clear that the Juntian system (which has also been in place since the time of King Wuzhong) has maintained quite well, at least in the vicinity of Beijing.

And when the train entered the suburbs of Beijing, the gardens belonging to the noble family began to increase. However, these gardens are only garden-style houses, and although they are luxurious, and some of them occupy quite large land, the land around the houses is still occupied by farmers' family farms (pastures...... Obviously, the "instigation" of the eight families led by the Zhuge family is not only external, but also to the people below.

Zhuge Weidao knew that this secret book handed down by King Wuzhong must have said a lot about the rebellion of various countries and the killing of the emperor! That's why those cowards have always adhered to the bottom line of suppressing mergers and protecting small private farms (pastures) - those who know history know that landless and destitute peasants are often the main force of rebellion, while rich peasants with family farms are often royalists.

At the same time, according to the records of the history textbooks of the Ming junior high school and high school, the Ming Empire was also the first country in the world to achieve universal pension, medical care and unemployment insurance - after the French killed Louis XVI, the Ming Council passed the relevant resolution at the speed of light, and the Ming court also approved it at the first time!

Therefore, at a time when the whole of Europe was busy extinguishing the French Revolution, the Ming court was looking for money everywhere to benefit the common people...... At that time, due to the continuous population growth and industrialization, the level of urbanization in the Ming Dynasty was also rising, so it was inevitable that there would be an urban poor population. Probably in the eyes of the instigator who looked through the "Wuzhong King's Secret Book", they are potential thieves and must be appeased immediately!

In addition to the suppression of mergers and welfare, history textbooks also say that the instigating soldiers of the Zhuge family have always attached great importance to higher education, and have invested in the establishment of 39 universities across the country over the past 100 years, all of which are known as the Longzhong Department, which are recognized as first-class universities. In Beijing, there are eight universities with a Longzhong department, among which the Beijing Institute of Technology is the first ......

"Beijing Institute of Technology ranked first...... It's weird! Zhuge Weidao, who stood outside the North Railway Station for a while, suddenly remembered the Beijing Institute of Technology in Longzhong University, as if he understood something, so he turned his head and asked his eldest brother, "Big brother, is this Beijing Institute of Technology in Zhongguantun?" ”

Zhongguantun is Zhongguancun, that place was originally a eunuch village, and Zhongguan is a eunuch! Later, some people thought that Zhongguantun was not good, so it was changed to Zhongguancun.

"What Zhongguantun?" Zhuge Weixue glared at his younger brother, "Zhongguancun!" Have you forgotten where our ancestral home is in Beijing? ”

Zhuge Weidao really forgot, he hurriedly looked back at Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran - after Yu Hui got off the train, he called a rental carriage into Xizhimen to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to restore his life, Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran are both Zhuge Weidao's subordinates, and they both don't have a house in Beijing, they all live in Zhuge Weidao's big mansion in Goolan Hutong, so now they can only continue to follow him.

Seeing Zhuge Weidao's eyes, the two of them immediately solved his doubts with each word.

"Brother Daozi, this Zhongguancun is the original Zhongguantun, and the name of Zhongguancun was changed by King Wuzhong. When the Northern Expedition was successful and the imperial court was still in Beijing, it gave the eight kings fields outside Beijing, and King Wuzhong asked for the area around Zhongguantun, and renamed Zhongguantun Zhongguancun. ”

"King Wuzhong first built Xinlong Zhongzhuang in Zhongguancun, and later opened a polytechnic in Xinlong Zhongzhuang, which is the predecessor of Beijing Institute of Technology...... This is also the first new-style university in Daming. Before this, Daming only had a new-style academy and a military academy, and there was no new-style university. ”

It is very difficult to run the matter of education, so we can only do it step by step, first running the academy equivalent to junior high school and high school, and the much-needed military school, and then running the university step by step, which is the right way.

Zhuge Weidao himself is a teacher, and he is very much in favor of King Wuzhong's rigorous and serious school-running ideas, so he nodded immediately and said: "If you have time, you must go to Beijing Institute of Technology and Xinlong Zhongzhuang to have a look." ”

Zhuge Weixue took his younger brother and said, "Don't wait for anything to be free...... Let's go today! ”

"Going today?" Zhuge was stunned for a moment, "Not going home?" ”

Zhuge learned the marquis of Wuxiang and had his own marquis mansion in Beijing. Zhuge Weidao's stepmother and younger brothers and sisters are now also living with Zhuge Weixue. Although Zhuge Weidao has a private house, he also has a room in the Hou Mansion.

"Don't go back," Zhuge Weixue sighed and said, "Tomorrow the military division has something to ask you...... So let's stay in the old mansion tonight. ”

In fact, Zhuge Weidao was controlled - the Zheng family's attempt to win over Zhuge Weidao was, of course, unable to hide from a group of military advisors who could pinch and calculate. So Zhuge Weixue had already obtained the secret telegram and asked him to take his younger brother directly to Xinlongzhong.

While the two brothers were talking, the carriage that took them to Xinlong Zhongzhuang also arrived. There are two carriages in total, Zhuge Weixue and a few guards he brought sit in one, and Zhuge Weidao takes Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran with sad faces - these two goods know that the military division group is polite to ask, and the military division group wants to judge Zhuge Weidao is the truth!

Although the military division has no judicial power, it is impossible to judge Zhuge as the Tao. But they can deprive Zhuge of the surname "Zhuge of the Tao" and expel him. can also decide Zhuge Weidao's career, and let him be a petty official in a place where birds don't for the rest of his life.

If Zhuge Youde was still there, he could protect his son, but now there is no one in the military division in the Wuxiang Marquis...... Although Zhuge Weijiu has a close relationship with Zhuge Youde and will take care of his son, Zhuge is a bit of a big trouble!

I'm afraid I can't keep it!

When the two were worried about their bosses, in an office in a building with a five-story main building, a four-story podium, and a Chinese-style roof, several military advisors dressed as Zhuge Liang were sitting around, holding a note and reading it. After reading it, the note was handed back to the old man Zhuge Weijiu, and the old man took out a lighter, lit the note, and threw it into an ashtray on the desk..... It's a bit strange to watch!

"So that's going to happen? It can't be the Zheng family framing the one hundred and eighth brother, right? A Zhuge military advisor shook his head again and again, as if he didn't quite believe what the note said.

Zhuge snorted for a long time: "It's not strange that Zheng Guozhong and Zheng Guoxian have this idea, but how can Zheng Yuhuan be?" He is the godsister of Brother One Hundred and Eight...... And Zheng Yuhuan didn't spread out the matter, but only temporarily put the female archduke under house arrest. ”

"Second brother," another Zhuge military advisor said, "could someone else do it?" ”

Zhuge pinched his fingers for a long time and shook his head: "No...... Natalie checked it when she left Petersburg, and it can't be wrong. There was no chance on the road, and when he arrived in Yining, he was taken away by the black eunuch. The only thing that could have gone wrong was two days in Bagua City. ”

"What then? If this matter is to be spread, the one hundred and eighth brother will be miserable. ”

Zhuge weijiu pinched his fingers and calculated: "You can't live if you do your own evil...... Send him to New Manchuria, or let him retire from the army and become a plantation owner on the island of Java. ”

"That's all there is to it!"

"We can't keep him anymore....."

"He's gone too far!"

Several Zhuge military advisors nodded again and again, and the fate of Zhuge Weidao seemed to have been calculated......
