Chapter 148: Coming home soon

He Xi said: "Okay. This incident is my fault, and I have good news for you, we are going back to Nanjing. ”

"Really?" When Princess Anqing heard this, she immediately became happy.

In fact, Princess Anqing was not comfortable in Liaodong.

Although He Xi has already given Princess Anqing the best living conditions in Liaodong. But Liaodong is still too cold. And the heating facilities of this era are far from being compared with those of later generations.

And He Xi is very good to Princess Anqing. But that's about it.

He Xi was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, so he didn't talk about running around. Even in Liaodong, it is still inspected everywhere. Being away from home for a long time is already a matter of course. Even if he doesn't go on a business trip, he doesn't go to inspect. Is it possible to be at home?

No. It's also normal to get busy and sleep in the yamen.

Princess Anqing is not unable to bear such a thing. When He Xi was away, she was in Nanjing, raising her children alone. In fact, there is no complaint in my heart. But Liaodong is not the same as Nanjing.

Princess Anqing grew up in Nanjing. Nanjing is her home. Her interpersonal relationships are all in Nanjing. It is more suitable for the climate of Nanjing. When I arrived in Liaodong, no one spoke or didn't say anything, and the mess at home was gone. Not to mention that Princess Anqing has to take on a lot of things. For example, to appease the families of officials.

Madame diplomacy, there has been since ancient times.

Princess Anqing actually knows a lot about these things.

When I was in Nanjing, I didn't encounter such an occasion. It's just that her goal in coming to Liaodong is different. She came to Liaodong to get together with her husband, but now it seems that she came to work. This makes her feel so comfortable inside.

Luckily, I had children around. only then did the depression in her heart be relieved.

This is also the reason why Princess Anqing always wants to lose her temper when she sees He Xi.

Therefore, I heard that I could return to Nanjing.

How could Princess Anqing not rejoice.

He Xi said: "Call my son, and Zhu Xiongying." Return to Beijing together. ”

Princess Anqing said; "Okay."

——

At this moment, Zhu Xiongying doesn't look like a grandson at all.

He was dressed in a short shirt and pushed an agricultural machine, which was a perennial seed drill for later generations. Machinery used to sow seeds. On his feet was a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles, which were covered with mud.

He was pushing the machine, and the seed seed was pushing a shallow gully in the ground, and then the seed flowed down the iron pipe to the ground, dragging a wooden plank behind it, flattening the ground.

In this way, a lot of effort is saved in sowing seeds.

"Teacher. What about the things we make? "A group of students huddled together, wearing thin clothes, and the clothes were not neat, only that there were no oil stains, and there were a lot of patches on their bodies. One by one they were holding a wooden board, with a few pieces of paper sandwiched on the board, and each of them was holding some charcoal strips, staring at Zhu Xiongying's acceptance.

Zhu Xiongying looked at his students? Scratch your head. I didn't know what to say for a while.

He didn't really understand his position.

He was originally helping out in the Yingkou University Hall, and he went in to study as a student. But unfortunately, although there are many people under He Ximen, the Liaodong stall is bigger. In fact, not many people are willing to work in Yingkou Academy.

Without him, Liaodong has too many opportunities.

No matter how you look at it, Yingkou Academy is not a place where you can be promoted quickly.

Guozijian is essentially a preparatory school for bureaucrats, and among them, of course, there are many seedlings of politicians. But how many people are bureaucrats in nature. Expect too much from them either.

Zhu Xiongying himself didn't think that in fact, he accepted the most cutting-edge and scientific knowledge system of the entire Ming Dynasty, and he quickly stood out among all the students and took on part of the teaching tasks. Under the guidance of He Xi's thoughts, Yingkou University attaches great importance to the combination of science and practice.

Many inventions in this era do not require advanced scientific knowledge. Because of this, some inventions are actually easier for craftsmen to get their hands on.

The first industrial revolution was actually driven by craftsmen. It was not until the Second Industrial Revolution that scientists gradually became dominant.

But He Xi still wants to introduce the scientific system to speed up the development.

So, these students always have something to do.

And Zhu Xiongying took these people, and their topic was agricultural machinery.

It is also He Xi's policy to promote education in eastern Liaoning. It has given many middle- and lower-class people the opportunity to study.

It can be seen from the clothes of these people.

Everyone's clothes looked dirty. It's not that these people don't love neatness. Rather, clothes should not be washed frequently. In later generations, many fabrics will break down after washing them several times. This is the so-called high-end fabric, in fact, this was the normal state in ancient times.

A lot of cloth, the number of times I wash it. It's a piece of rotten cloth.

And for the common people, clothes are a valuable possession. When you use it, you should naturally cherish it. When someone is working, he should be shirtless, not because he doesn't like to wear clothes, but because he takes care of them, because if he is injured. I cut the skin and can be good. But if the clothes are torn. It's not going to be a good job.

Even patches don't look good.

Many of these people have been farming at home. That's why they wanted to make agricultural machinery that could save labor.

It's just that this move shocked Zhu Xiongying very much.

Because there are few people in Liaodong. There is a huge shortage of population. Some labor-saving measures have been implemented in a big way. In fact, He Xi has implemented a lot of agricultural and water conservancy improvements. These Zhu Xiongying didn't think it was a big deal. When he was in the palace, he actually followed Queen Ma to all the farming.

Know how to farm the land.

Compared with the hard work of sowing, it is much more labor-saving to use this sowing machine.

After all, Zhu Xiongying is the grandson, and He Xi has time to ask Zhu Xiongying to call him to his side and teach him face-to-face. So he is very aware of the biggest shortcoming in Liaodong today. That is food production. And the biggest problem in this matter is the lack of manpower. Lack of labor.

For He Xi to promote machinery. Promote machinery. In Zhu Xiongying's heart, he is actually not too optimistic. After all, there is such a thing as a machine must have a mind. Confucianism does not actually have a positive attitude towards the use of machinery, and Zhu Xiongying was certainly exposed to a lot of He Xi's ideas when he was studying. But when He Xi came over, he was already quite young. The three hundred thousand, four books and five classics that he has read since he was a child, these things are the background color of Zhu Xiongying's reading.

It was impossible for him not to be affected.

And today, everything forms a closed loop in front of Zhu Xiongying.

With the development of machinery, more manpower can be saved, and more manpower can be cultivated, and more land can feed more people. And the improvement and manufacturing of machinery does not seem to be a very difficult thing.

Yes. At least in Zhu Xiongying's view, there are still many problems that have not been done well in terms of seeders. He just watched the students do it.

Zhu Xiongying is better than these students in terms of vision. After all, the machinery that these students may have seen in their lifetime is basically some agricultural machinery. But Zhu Xiongying followed He Xi and ran around. But I've seen the most complex machinery in the world.

Zhu Xiongying coughed twice and said, "There are a few problems with your machinery. First, the depth of this plough out of this furrow is the same. But the question is that the depth required for different seeds is different, can it be adjusted? Second, it is the manufacturing process, you should have learned, several processes of mass production, you can see for yourself, how to produce this thing you made? Yes, you were only experiments, and I don't ask for that. But now it's different, you can go to the relevant teachers in this regard. Remember to be lightweight, lightweight, and strong. ”

When the students below heard Zhu Xiongying say this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "More teachers." ”

They know that Zhu Xiongying said so. In fact, it means that they approve of their work. They've already learned this lesson.

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand and let them go, which was considered to be the end of class.

He's going too. When I looked up, I saw a column, He Xi stood far away, looking at him from afar. Zhu Xiongying immediately walked over. Said: "Teacher." ”

He Xi said: "It seems that you have stayed well here and have become a teacher." ”

Zhu Xiongying raised his head, tilted his head, the sun slanted on his face, and there was a youthful spirit, and said, "It's really good." ”
