If you don't work hard to farm the fields, you will inherit the throne with the prince.

Chapter 184 Make a Bet
Lu Beichen knew that if he didn't fight for it, he would be sent to another academy by his parents.

In order to be able to study in Pearl Academy, he had to confess his heart to his parents.

The Lu family's parents did not expect their son to speak such a long speech at all, and they did not expect their son to be willing to study here.

In their parents' view, what's good here?
The academy is not like an academy, but rather like a juggling troupe.

Xie Mingzhu reached out and gently stroked Lu Beichen's hair, and said softly, "Beichen himself is willing to study in our academy. If you take her away forcibly, it will only be counterproductive. I don't think it's better than this. The period is one year. If a year later, he If he can get good grades in the local examination, he will stay in the academy, if he fails to get good grades in the local examination for a year, will you change to another academy?"

This is the plan that Xie Mingzhu came up with after thinking for a long time in her heart.

For a year, this can be regarded as a delaying strategy.

In one year, the academy will change drastically. At the same time, more and more students will come to the academy. By then, if you want to study in the academy, you may have to squeeze your head.

Lu Beichen looked at his parents, then at Xie Mingzhu, and without waiting for his parents to say no, he promised: "Father, mother, I promise, if I can pass the childbirth test after one year, I will Continue to study here, if I can't after a year, I will go to the academy you asked me to go to."

Father Lu hesitated.

He was genuinely afraid of wasting time.

However, he also knew that if Lu Beichen was forcibly transferred to other academies, if this kid had a rebellious mentality, he might not study hard in the academies.

"Did you say that?" Father Lu hesitated for a moment, "You can keep your word!"

Lu Beichen puffed up his chest proudly, and said, "Father, if you don't believe in the child, we can sign a contract now, as evidence in black and white."

Father Lu clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's make a contract."

So, under the witness of Xie Mingzhu, Lu Beichen wrote a contract by himself.

Lu's father and Lu Beichen personally signed their names on it, and next to their names, they pressed a red fingerprint with cinnabar.

Lu Beichen handed his share to Xie Mingzhu, and said respectfully, "Please trouble the dean to collect it for me."

"Row."

Xie Mingzhu carefully put away the slightly immature contract.

Father Lu looked at his son, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Let me see what you can learn."

Knowing that he didn't need to transfer schools for the time being, Lu Beichen said happily, "Father, the child will work hard."

Lu's parents came excitedly, and when they were about to leave, Lu Beichen took Lu's father and Lu's mother's hands, and said softly: "Father and mother, you are all here, why don't you take a stroll in our academy?"

Mother Lu looked up and asked Father Lu for his opinion.

Father Lu looked at Xie Mingzhu and asked, "Is it convenient?"

"You can just stroll around, just don't touch anything."

"Then let's go for a walk."

After Xie Mingzhu settled the Lu family's education conflicts, she went to the craftsman who wanted to go back to the south.

"Dean."

The craftsman called out.

Right now everyone's address to Xie Mingzhu is quite messy.

Some are called Madam, some are called Dean, some are called Master, and some are called Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu doesn't care what kind of title.

Anyway, to her, the name is just an insignificant title.

"About beets and cane..."

Xie Mingzhu just gave the craftsman a picture before, and the craftsman analyzed it based on the picture, only to find that the two raw materials needed for sugar production, beet and sugarcane, are available in their hometown.

It's just that, because they don't have a full stomach, they usually don't use it as farm crops.

"Dean, the two things you mentioned are available in our house."

Xie Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and thought: Now that you have it, it will save trouble.

"Then these two are sugar beets and sugar cane. After you arrive, let the villagers near your home plant these two plants. If they don't want to grow them, you can also use our side to let the villagers grow wheat. way, using credit as a cooperative relationship.”

"it is good."

Xie Mingzhu was really worried, not to mention the long journey to the south from here, and the communication was inconvenient.

Even if there are carrier pigeons, where is it convenient to have a mobile phone that can make video calls at any time?

"Also, you have a lot of fruits over there, so you can see what fruits are there then? If you can draw, you'd better draw them for me and let me see."

The south has a good climate and abundant products, not only fruits but also vegetables.

But there is a problem, because of the differences between the north and the south, there will be some differences in the names.

"it is good."

The craftsmen agreed one by one.

Xie Mingzhu asked Meng Fu for two reliable women, and then she would go to the south with the craftsmen.

Qin Che was not in Xiejia Village, and Xie Mingzhu felt that she didn't even have anyone to talk to, and she still felt a little unresolved.

In the evening, we still sit together and watch the documentary.

There are quite a lot of documentaries in Learning Power, and Xie Mingzhu is showing a documentary about industrial society tonight.

In fact, there are many documentaries in Xueqiangguo, which Xie Mingzhu has never watched before. Now that she is fine, she also watches the documentaries with everyone.

The content of the documentary is also very suitable for everyone to watch today.

"Dean, can we make hot air balloons?" asked a craftsman.

Xie Mingzhu said: "Actually, the reason for the hot air balloon is similar to that of the Kongming lantern!"

Tai Tu asked, "What is a Kongming lantern?"

Xie Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, mainly because she didn't know much about the history here, and she didn't know whether there was such a person as Zhuge Liang.

"Then when the documentary is over, I'll make one for you."

"it is good."

So, everyone watched the documentary carefully again.

In the documentary, steam trains and steam ships are described, and the craftsmen are also eager to try.

After all, who would have thought that steam could be used as power?

Xie Mingzhu herself did not make Kongming Lanterns independently, and she even searched for how to make Kongming Lanterns on Xueqiangguo.

After the documentary was over, Xie Mingzhu cut a few green bamboos with a knife to make the frame of the Kongming Lantern.

Mrs. Zhao gave Xie Mingzhu some more paste, and Xie Mingzhu used the paste to paste the frame made of paper and bamboo.

She used a small piece of bamboo tube, put some tung oil in it, weighed a core with cotton, put it in the tung oil, fixed the bamboo tube on the bottom ring, and lit the cotton core.

The flame was faint and bright, and when the heat reached a certain level, Xie Mingzhu let go of her hand.

In the evening wind, the Kongming Lantern slowly rose into the sky.

Like sparks, gently floating, floating, don't know where it will go.
