Zhu Yuan didn't know that the news of the rescue of Pu Zhongheng, who was seriously injured and almost certain to death, had spread rapidly from the small coastal city of Dinghai.

Even in the surrounding area, there were medicinal herb merchants who began to buy Penicillium at a high price.

When Zhu Yuan heard the news, he had to issue a notice in the name of Yinghai Division, reminding him of the various risks of using Penicillium, emphasizing that it should not be used easily unless necessary.

Whether he can be listened to, Zhu Yuan has no confidence.

In fact, I also understand that the main reason is that there is a lack of effective ways to deal with infection in this era. Let's just say that in history, Xu Da died of dorsal gangrene, which was actually an infection, and a few doses of antibiotics in later generations could solve the problem, but it took the life of a famous general.

Therefore, the penicillium therapy proposed by Zhu Yuan is like a slender rope of grass thrown to a drowning person, no matter whether he can go ashore with this or not, if he catches it, he will not let go.

That's an afterword.

Sending off Hua Gao, who was going to arrange a barracks for the upcoming Zhang Cun Daoist Department outside the city, Zhu Yuan returned to his office in the west wing of the main courtyard, and He Xuan and several little eunuchs also chased after him and brought breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhu Yuan wrote a letter to Lao Zhu according to Hua Gao's instructions, talking about antibiotics and the hot burning to prevent infection, etc., and at the same time asked Li Gui, who was further arranged by him to become an office assistant, about something, and learned that Tu Xiao of the Surveying and Mapping Office finally returned from the sea yesterday afternoon, so he asked him to call someone immediately.

Tu Xiao arrived soon.

It still hurts in my legs.

He was also in the surprised crowd on Pu Zhongheng's side before, and when he turned around and ran away, he was hit by Zhu Yuan.

At the moment, I am still a little weak.

Although I still don't quite understand why Xiao Hanlin smoked them, it definitely makes sense.

Zhu Yuan didn't remember these small details, and after Tu Xiao gave the salute, he handed over an appointment edict sent from Jinling two days ago to the other party, and wrote a letter without raising his head, saying: "Pack up, someone will go back to Jinling today, and you will go back with you, and it will be safe." ”

Tu Xiao had already heard some news, and after reading the edict, he still felt unreal.

Less than a month ago, he was just a small official under the Taishi Academy, and he was able to quickly rise to the eighth grade before, Tu Xiao was already very satisfied, and his father, who was also in Guozixue, served as the eighth grade canon, can't say that he is biased and miscellaneous and doesn't do his job?

I didn't expect that it would not be long before an official position of a five-grade surveying and mapping division was smashed again.

Makes him a little dizzy!

Zhu Yuan wrote a few lines, noticed that there was no movement in front of him, looked up, and found that Tu Xiao was still in a daze, smiled, and teased: "Wake up, don't give me Fan Jinzhong's example." ”

Hearing Zhu Yuan's voice, Tu Xiao sobered up, of course he couldn't know the stalk of 'Fan Jinzhongju', looked at the young man behind the book, his heart surged, he suddenly knelt down, and bowed and said: "Student thank Mr. for teaching the grace of promotion, Xinghan will remember it in his heart in this life, and he dare not forget." ”

Tu Xiao understood that if he hadn't met this little Hanlin, with his side-door miscellaneous studies that were not in the mainstream of scripture and history, he would only be able to climb a seven- or eight-grade junior official in Qingshui Yamen like Taishi Academy in his life, and it would be impossible for him to have this opportunity now.

Thinking about the many things he learned from Xiao Hanlin these days, Tu Xiao immediately made a certain decision.

In this era, teachers are not casually recognized.

Heaven and earth prince teacher is the five highest Confucian norms, just as the so-called 'master', is both 'teacher' and 'father', once recognized, it is equivalent to acquiescing to one's own one more 'father', unless ungrateful and rebellious, otherwise, in this life and this life must be treated with the attitude of serving the father.

Inside the office.

After all, from later generations, Zhu Yuan didn't feel Tu Xiao's statement too deeply for a while, but once again felt that his lessons during this period of time were not in vain, and finally someone took the initiative to call Mr.

Smiling, Zhu Yuan said, "Get up, I have to explain a few more words to you." ”

Only then did Tu Xiao get up and listen.

Zhu Yuan said: "Jumping from the eighth grade to the fifth grade, it is worth being happy." However, it is also a heavy responsibility. The ancestor summoned you back to Jinling, and when you met once, he would arrange for you to go to the northern front, not to stay in the rear of the stable army, but to hope that you would lead the team to open the way for the army to draw a map, which is a job that is a hundred times more dangerous than going to sea to draw a map of the island, you must be mentally prepared. ”

Tu Xiao arched his hand and said: "The student will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

This is also to be expected.

He has always been rich and dangerous, and His Majesty the Emperor suddenly entrusted him with a heavy task and gave him a positive five grade that he couldn't think of before, how could it be simple to jump six levels in a row?

Zhu Yuan saw that Tu Xiao was not timid, and was a little surprised, but he didn't pursue it too much.

Pulling open the desk drawer, Zhu Yuan took out a letter, saw a ball of silk, remembered it, and took it out together, and said: "The ancestor only needs you, it is for my side." However, I also have to think about my ancestors, you ask later, as long as the surveying and mapping office is willing to go to the north to make contributions, they can go back with you, and I believe that the ancestors will not treat them badly. In addition, these are some suggestions that I took the time to write two days ago, you can discuss with your ancestors after you return to Jinling, mainly about the northern line, my attitude is that you don't need to pay too much attention to the west, you should focus on the north, and figure out the terrain and roads around the capital, so as to provide a reference for the army to attack Huanglong in the future. ”

Tu Xiao agreed, stepped forward to pick up the letter, and did not rush to open it, waiting for Zhu Yuan to continue.

Zhu Yuan turned to the silk again, smiled and unfolded, which was also wrapped in a piece of wax: "This is one of the things you mentioned in the report a few days ago, in order to determine the potential of the mountains and rivers, is it possible to build a very high watchtower, heh, the dozens of zhang watchtower you want is unrealistic, but, if you are not afraid of death, there is another way." ”

Saying that, he asked Tu Xiao to come over and help unfold the silk silk, and Zhu Yuan found a fire fold and lit the wax heads embellished on the silk threads below.

In just a moment, the ball of silk unfolded into a net under the hot baking.

Zhu Yuan wrapped a silk thread under the wax head around the pen at will, and signaled, "You can let go." ”

Tu Xiao let go of his hand, and saw that the silk net pocket in front of him began to float up slowly, until it floated to a position taller than his tall and thin man, and then was pulled by the thin line and stopped.

Zhu Yuan was still sitting on the chair, looked up at the small Kong Ming lantern, and said, "I have told you in some previous courses, air has weight, just like water. In addition, thermal expansion and contraction, the air expands when heated, the density decreases, and it becomes lighter than the surrounding air, which will produce buoyancy. This kind of lamp also has a name, called Kong Ming lantern, which is rumored to be the first invention of Zhuge Wuhou of Xishu. If you want to climb to the top, you can build an oversized Kong Ming lantern, which I call a hot air balloon. Remember to tie the rope below, otherwise, with the current technical conditions, it will be difficult for the people on the hot air balloon to settle down if they fly away. ”

Saying this, Zhu Yuan found a piece of paper, quickly drew a hot air balloon with charcoal, and pushed it in front of Tu Xiao, who was still looking up: "Okay, that's all." Take the lamp away and ponder it for yourself. By the way, you are not allowed to put it everywhere without tying a rope, and if it falls down, it will cause a fire, if this happens in the future, I only ask you! ”

After speaking, seeing that Tu Xiao still opened his mouth slightly and looked up, Zhu Yuan knocked lightly on the table: "Come back to your senses, since you are a researcher of physics, you should understand that this is just a small way, don't be like an uninformed ordinary person." ”

Tu Xiao came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly confessed his gaffe, but said: "Sir, even if you understand the reason, the student has never seen such a magical thing, this Kong Ming lantern...... The students have read the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", and there seems to be no record of the biography of Wuhou. ”

Zhu Yuan untied the small lantern string and handed it to Tu Xiao, and then pushed the hot air balloon artwork page: "I'm very busy, I don't have time for you to verify this, go and prepare, I'm going to leave after lunch." ”

Tu Xiao took it carefully, as if pulling a strange little kite, put away the edict letters, artworks and other things, and did not forget to salute Zhu Yuan before turning around and leaving.

When Tu Xiao went out, Zhu Yuan put aside the hot air balloon, which could actually be loaded in ancient times, and after writing the letter to Lao Zhu, he was about to go outside the city to check the Hangzhou grain ship that arrived yesterday, Fu Shou and Shen Mao rushed to see him.

The two brought 200,000 taels of silver.

With the approval of Lao Zhu, in recent days, the first batch of seven maritime trade company licenses have been quickly finalized, and some maritime merchants have paid license fees one after another.

Lao Zhu personally divided the proportion of shares in a maritime trade company license involving Huagao, and the news came, Huagao had no opinion, Fu Shou had no opinion, and the Shen family had no opinion, and when he came to Zhu Yuan, what other opinions could he have?

Zhu Yuan is not a saint either.

There is no platform near the water to keep a copy for yourself, in order to avoid suspicion. But since Lao Zhu took the initiative to give it, he would not be polite.

However, Lao Zhu said that he and Huagao could waive the corresponding proportion of license fees, and Zhu Yuan did not accept it again.

This money is of great use, and Zhu Yuan doesn't want to make himself too special.

After discussing with Huagao, the two insisted on making up the money by borrowing money from the other two partners, and planned to repay it through the profits of Haimao Company in the future.

In fact, it is still an empty glove white wolf.

However, the other two families who were covered by the quilt not only did not refuse, but they were also very happy, since they were all happy, there was no need to take it too seriously. What's more, Zhu Yuan is also confident that he will bring more benefits to the partners in the future, and he does not plan to pay it back.

Speaking of the division of shares of maritime trading companies, some maritime businessmen have also raised objections recently.

Zhu Yuan's related license, there are only four partnerships, but the other licenses, often there are more than ten or twenty, and then refer to Zhu Yuan's plan for the sea trade company, hoping that each will unify its finances and operate in partnership, which makes some maritime businessmen unacceptable.

Zhu Yuan didn't insist.

As long as each family sorts out their accounts clearly, does not evade taxes or evades taxes, and wants to operate separately with a license, there is no problem.

Of course, in addition to taxes, an additional 20% of the annual income still has to be paid.

There is no objection to this.

In that case, let each family do what he thinks.

It is impossible for Zhu Yuan to tell them that even if the monopoly of a large trading company in later generations only accounts for 5% of the shares, as long as it is properly managed and the scale is expanded, not only will the shares themselves become a very large wealth, but the annual income will also be quite rich.

In comparison, it is clear that we can become bigger and stronger together, but some people insist on the family workshop model, which is equivalent to taking the initiative to give up their own advantages.

This is the limitation of the times.

Zhu Yuan can only wait for the future to teach them what to do with facts.
