Chapter 082: Donglin Academy

Shen Zhuangling didn't open the door, but Mu Qilin's people were in her backyard, and when she heard someone slamming the door, Xiaoqi who came stared at her viciously and said, "Don't forget your identity..."

After saying that, he slipped through the small door in the backyard.

After Chen Cao asked Zhao Xin to kick the door in, Shen Zhuangling deliberately messed up her hair, and walked out of the door as if she had just woken up from sleep: "Yo, what kind of anger did Uncle have at night, he kicked the door of the slave family, if a strong man comes, the thin body of the slave family is not the opponent of those people." ”

Chen Cao came up with a belt on his shoulder, and Zhao Xin and the others all stayed at the door of the backyard and didn't come in: "Why, none of your soldiers are there?" ”

"Look, uncle, what you said, they've all been busy all day, and they're all asleep..."

The reason is a bit far-fetched, but Chen Cao doesn't care very much, after all, this woman is a widow, and as the old saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, who would have thought that Shen Zhuangling would hook up with other people in private?

Chen Cao walked straight into Shen Zhuangling's bedroom, sat down at the table, and poured himself a cup of sobering tea: "You know everything?" ”

Shen Zhuangling followed into the house: "What did Uncle say?" ”

"Don't be sloppy with me, I went to find Mu Qilin during the day, for you, I almost turned my face with Mu Qilin." Chen Cao put down the teacup and looked up and down on Shen Zhuangling's body.

Shen Zhuangling walked to Chen Cao's side very interestingly, and squatted down...

...

After finishing the business, Chen Cao buckled the belt with great satisfaction: "Let me ask you, do you want to follow me?" ”

Shen Zhuangling wiped her lips that were still a little moist, then drank a cup of tea and rinsed her mouth, and then said, "Since Uncle, you asked for the body of the slave family, the slave family has been the uncle's person, what else do you say if you don't follow?" ”

Chen Cao rolled his eyes, stared at her with a mocking look and said: "You people in the Qianguo Mansion are not good at stubble, we don't talk darkly, today I have already gone to find Mu Qilin, you also have to think about it, if it passes this village in the future, and then wants to find this shop, it will not be so simple..."

Shen Zhuangling smiled: "Hey, uncle, what did you say..."

Chen Cao sighed and shook his head: "You can do it yourself..."

After finishing speaking, he left, and Shen Zhuangling stayed in place for a long time...

Out of the gate, Chen Cao walked into the carriage with the support of Zhao Xin, and before leaving, Chen Cao stared at the signboard of Shen Ji Grocery Store again for a long time, and then said: "Find some clever people..."

"My subordinates understand..."

....

The workshop is now part of the Dingwu New Army, but the place is still in the camp of the Sailor Division, and Chen Cao still has some things to explain to Bi Maokang before he goes south to Zhejiang to recruit troops.

"Master Bi, where do you think our workshop headquarters is most appropriate?" Chen Cao asked Zhao Xin to spread out a map of the Ming Dynasty, and placed several red pennants in the marked positions.

Bi Maokang stared at the map, and then said: "Our production now relies on water power to drive the waterbed, and then make the water hammer work, naturally the headquarters of the workshop is located close to the water source, in fact, Longjiang and the current water division camp are good choices." ”

Chen Cao also thinks so, but in the long run, if things are not harmonious in the future, and the workshop is his biggest production dependence, there must be a perfect location, Longjiang and the camp of the water master are on the edge of Jinling.

"Although the Taihu Lake in Suzhou Prefecture is good, it is a lake after all, and the speed of its water flow is not fast, in the past in the right guard camp it was because of the Jubao River, but now the workshop is developing rapidly, if it is still the water power of the Jubao River, I am afraid that the productivity is too low, so Xia Guan still thinks that it is most appropriate to set up the workshop on this line."

Bi Maokang's words are very reasonable, even if something really happens in the future, his workshop is close to the water's edge, and with the assistance of the sailor, all the equipment and equipment will be boarded, as long as the core technical personnel are still there, there will be a workshop.

"It makes sense, since this is the case, let's take the sailor camp as the headquarters, Master Bi, pass on the general order of the military army, open some land next to the sailor camp, set up a factory, the name is all thought of, it will be called 'Longjiang Arsenal', and then set up 'Longjiang Canned Food Factory' and 'Longjiang Cement Factory' next to me;

The general office of the arsenal is you, the general office of the canning factory is appointed as Wu Liangju, the general office of the cement factory is appointed as Li Maocai, the factory must have defense facilities, how to construct the specific construction, you design, and then let Li Maocai do it, all the factories are all cement buildings, what to do is what you think;

Also, you have to study the drawings I gave you a few days ago, especially the rail, and imagine whether it will work if it is pulled by a horse, and if it can't work, you can follow what I wrote on the drawings to see if there is any possibility of researching. ”

Bi Maokang frowned: "Uncle, it's not that the lower officials don't care, the steel rails are easy to say, as long as there are iron materials, let alone laying between factories, it doesn't matter if it is laid from Jinling City to the camp of the sailors, the key is what kind of steam engine, the lower officials really don't know how to do it." ”

"It's okay," Chen Cao shook his hand: "You will vigorously recruit students, brainstorm, if you have any questions, ask me, I can help you answer." ”

"Yes, the lower official obeys the order..."

"By the way, cadet?" Chen Cao was talking to himself, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly talked with Bi Maokang for a while before leaving in a hurry.

"Uncle, where are we going?" Zhao Xin saw Chen Cao's anxious appearance, and stepped forward to ask.

Chen Cao got on the horse and said, "Let's go, let's go to Donglin Academy." ”

Not to mention, since Qian Qianyi reopened Donglin Academy, Chen Cao has not been to this place, let alone seen the protagonist of the famous 'water is too cold' in history.

Chen Cao was dressed in civilian clothes, and Zhao Xin walked into the academy, and then slowly walked inside by the channel, Zhao Xin was a martial artist, where had he been to any academy, in order not to embarrass Chen Cao, he walked closely behind Chen Cao.

Bypassing the Lin Taizhao wall, Chen Cao saw a group of talented people surrounding a middle-aged beard, he didn't know anything, but the well-informed Chen Cao could guess that these people must be debating knowledge again.

Out of curiosity, Chen Cao stepped up.

Because he was dressed in casual clothes, Chen Cao's fair skin and dress looked like a rich man's scholar, and Zhao Xin's identity was a family nursing home or something.

As soon as he got closer, he asked a talented man beside him, and said with a smile: "This son, what's wrong?" ”

Na Xiucai turned his head and saw Chen Cao dressed as a rich man, but when he saw Chen Cao's knowledgeable appearance, he turned his head and smiled: "Where is this benevolent brother from?" Is it also here to listen to Mr. Qian's lectures? ”

Qian Qianyi?

"That's Mr. Qian?" Chen Cao pointed to the middle-aged man who was surrounded in the middle.

Xiucai shook his head: "No, this is Mr. Shichao..."

Stone Nest?

Chen Cao dislikes the ancient characters who boasted that they had read some books and gave themselves a long list of 'numbers', and obviously this guy was one of them.

Xiucai saw Chen Cao's face covered, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ren is a foreigner? ”

Chen Cao hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Don't hide it, I just moved to Jinling with my family." ”

"Okay," Xiucai opened the folding fan: "Mr. Shi Chao is Ruan Dacheng in the Jingshi Criminal Department, and because Ding is worried, he was invited by Mr. Mu Zhai to come to the academy from Anqing Mansion to discuss knowledge with all the students. ”

Ruan Dacheng?

Chen Cao was shocked, how could such a famous person not know, and hurriedly saluted Xiucai: "Thank you Brother Ren for your advice, I don't know how to call Brother Ren's name?" ”

Xiucai bowed his hand very politely and said: "Xia Yunyi in Xia Songjiang Mansion, I don't know who Brother Ren is?" ”

The name is a little familiar, it seems that there is such a number one person in the late Ming Dynasty, but Chen Cao really can't think of it, and just wanted to say the name before he remembered that his name was known to the whole Ming Dynasty, so he used a fake name: "In Xia Zhao Xin, thank you Brother Xia for your advice." ”

"You're welcome..."

Zhao Xin is very interesting, but he thinks it's a little strange for his uncle to use his name to deceive.

Chen Cao naturally didn't like to listen to people like Ruan Dacheng talking nonsense about state affairs, and then he took Zhao Xin around, walked inside, walked through the end of the channel, and the corridor appeared, Chen Cao stood up at once, and Zhao Xin, who bowed his head, almost bumped into Chen Cao.

"Uncle..."

Zhao Xin shouted in a low voice, Chen Cao was unmoved, and then saw a middle-aged man walking towards Chen Cao, and the man arched his hand: "I don't know who you are?" ”

Chen Cao raised his hand: "Your surname?" ”

The person who came looked Chen Cao up and down: "It's not expensive... The surname is Qian..."

"Good surname..."Chen Cao praised very politely.

The person who came smiled awkwardly: "I don't know where such a son came from?" ”

Chen Cao arched his hand: "Call and come out..."

The visitor showed a look of displeasure: "Where are you going?" ”

"Where are you going..."Chen Cao gave his hand again.

The person who came showed a cold face: "Inside is the rest room of my Donglin Academy, and I don't treat outsiders, and my son is at his own convenience." ”

"Farewell..."

Chen Cao arched his hand, turned around and left...

Zhao Xin glanced at the man blankly, and then followed Chen Cao away at a loss.

"Uncle, why are we leaving?"

Chen Cao didn't squint, and said as he walked: "Didn't you see that guy Zhang Yanzong inside?" ”

"Shou Ninghou?" Zhao Xin raised his eyebrows: "The subordinates only care about listening to the politeness of the uncle and the surnamed Qian." ”

"Zhang Yanzong knows me, the surname Qian should be Qian Qianyi, Lao Tzu, I am a eunuch, they are the Donglin Party, if they are recognized into this Donglin Academy, they will have to be beaten to death by those nerds who are stupid in reading." Chen Cao himself felt that he was fighting a cold war, he and Zhao Xin were just two people, and they were unarmed, even if they were good at fists and feet, who could beat countless hands with both fists?

"Brother Zhao..."

Zhao Xin habitually turned around, and consciously took out the style of the Jinyi Wei Zhen envoy: "You scholar dare to call me by my name?" ”

Chen Cao turned his head and saw that it was Xia Yunyi, so he kicked Zhao Xin's ass: "Brother Xia, what did you call me?" ”

Xia Yunyi glanced at Zhao Xin strangely, and then said angrily: "You dare to talk to this son like this?" ”

Zhao Xin didn't dare to attack because Chen Cao was staring at him, so he retreated behind Chen Cao, Chen Cao smiled and said, "Brother Xia doesn't have to be angry with me, what do you want me to do?" ”

Xia Yunyi smiled and arched his hand: "I saw Brother Zhao go to the rest room and retreat, I don't know if I want to see Mr. Mu Zhai?" ”

Chen Cao snorted and said: "Brother Xia is really amazing, I saw that Mr. Mu Zhai was meeting guests, and it was inconvenient to disturb, so I said goodbye here." ”

Xia Yunyi nodded thoughtfully, then stared at Chen Cao for a long time before he gave up: "It's abrupt in Xia, Brother Zhao, please take care of yourself, leave if you have something to do, and say goodbye." ”

"Farewell..."

Chen Cao took Zhao Xin and hurried out of the gate of Donglin Academy, and then let out a long breath.

"Uncle," Zhao Xin's voice became louder after leaving the door: "Let's go in for a walk and leave, what is the purpose of coming today?" ”

Chen Cao got on the horse and said: "I wanted to come to Donglin Academy to visit, see their school-running model, and have the opportunity to learn from Qian Qianyi's guy, but seeing this situation, I think it's better to forget it, the Tao is not the same, withdraw..."

The two of them rushed back to the station of the right guard one after the other, and then Chen Cao found Song Che and said: "There is still some time on the day of going south, and we have to wait for the people of the imperial court to arrive before we can act together, take advantage of this time I want to establish an academy, I will be the dean, you and Qi Xianzong will be teachers, I have thought of the name, it will be called 'Kyoto Army Academy'." ”

"No," Song Che objected immediately: "'Kyoto' is another name for Jinling, if it is called this way, I am afraid that I will be impeached by the official for the crime of trespassing, and I will have to change the name." ”

Chen Cao thought that Song Che's idea still made sense, so he said, "How about calling it 'Nanjing Army Academy'?" In short, the teaching location is in the territory of Nanjing Youwei? ”

Song Che nodded: "This is feasible, even if you ask it above, it is reasonable." ”

"That's fine," Chen Cao asked Zhao Xin to immediately go to the city to find a craftsman to build the signboard of the 'Nanjing Army Academy', and then asked Song Che to go to the family camp of the right guard, and gathered all the male children over the age of twelve who were still working in the workshop, and let them go to the academy to study.

This is the big deal, but what is taught? Naturally, it was their so-called miscellaneous learning, and Chen Cao was going to let those Francs and Romans teach a session, and then go and summarize it for them himself.

Two days later, Chen Cao was playing with his son at home, and the maid came to the backyard and said, "Uncle, another person outside the door who calls himself Xia Yunyi wants to ask to see Uncle." ”

Xia Yunyi?

Chen Cao hugged the child to the wet nurse, then stood up and greeted Li Xiang and walked to the middle hall in the front yard, Xia Yunyi half sat on the chair, and saw that Chen Cao walked into the door It was really the person he saw in the academy that day, so he got up immediately and bowed to Chen Cao: "Student Xia Yunyi, I have seen Uncle Dingwu..."

Chen Cao sat on the main seat and raised his hand very politely: "Brother Xia doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

Xia Yunyi saluted again: "The student doesn't dare, Xie Dingwu will sit down." ”

Chen Caocai said: "How do you know it's Benbo?" ”

Xia Yunyi still sat half-sitting, and then leaned sideways and said: "The student listened to the rumors in Jinling that Mr. Nalan is well-known and knowledgeable, and the student has read the uncle's "Caigen Tan" as early as Songjiang, which really opened a precedent for my Ming literature, and the student admired it tightly, and he didn't care about the uncle at first when he saw the uncle in Donglin Academy that day, but when he called the uncle, the student felt very murderous after the adult turned around, and he thought of the people who said that Dingwu Bo was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and followed the envoy Zhao Xin Zhao all the year round, and the student had the courage to inquire after leaving, confirmed that it was indeed the uncle, so he hurried to make amends to the uncle. ”
