I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 120 Is it necessary for Chen Zilong to come?
Chapter 119

In Sun Yuanhua's eyes, Jinzhou Academy is surprisingly large.Laiyang Zhang’s collection of books, hundreds of thousands of volumes, was packed and pulled over by Chen Guodong. At that time, Chen Guodong’s purpose was not to protect books or knowledge, but because Lin Xuzong told Chen Guodong that the most precious thing of Laiyang Zhang’s was not These floating wealth, fields, and shops are the library courtyard.

Chen Guodong didn't even have time to take a look, and waved his hand: "Move away!"

In this way, Zhang's collection of more than [-] books in Laiyang, as well as a considerable number of orphan copies, and even bamboo slips were moved to Ninghai City, and later moved to southern Liaoning.

In the current Jinzhou Academy library, more than 80% of the books are in the private collections of wealthy families and landlords, with a total volume of more than [-] volumes, and a small number of them are printed by themselves.Thanks to the prosperity of the novel language industry in the Ming Dynasty, there were also many large and small printing factories.

Laiyang Zhang was packaged as a whole and came to Laiyang Zhang, and Laiyang Zhang itself has a large number of skilled printing craftsmen. Under the guidance of Mr. Lin Xuzong, Zhang Changqing, the person in charge of Laiyang Zhang's book printing, and more than 60 excellent craftsmen , The Jinzhou Printing Factory was established in the hall.

With the influx of refugees, a large number of technical talents also came with the army of refugees. This Jinzhou printing factory also expanded rapidly. Now the textbooks of Jinzhou Academy and Liaonan Girls' School are all printed by Cheng Shijie's own printing factory. , Sun Yuanhua looked at the huge library covering four small courtyards, which can accommodate more than [-] people studying at the same time, and was dumbfounded.

Looking at the dining hall that can accommodate more than a thousand students at the same time, the public bathhouse that can provide hot water for children, and especially the well-equipped stadium, Sun Yuanhua feels that Cheng Shijie's dedication to Jinzhou Academy may not be simple.

Sun Yuanhua was among the teachers, and while Cheng Shijie was preparing for the start of school, he was also recruiting various teachers, including arithmeticians, agronomists, geologists, astronomers, potters, mechanics, porcelain artists, weavers, printing and dyeing artists... …

If an academy teaches so much messy knowledge, it will definitely be sprayed for nothing, but in Sun Yuanhua's eyes, this is to take the initiative to lean on the Western Fa Party.

Sun Yuanhua looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Shijie, you haven't picked up the characters yet, have you?"

"A person who is wandering in troubled times has a name that is already the mark of his ancestors. Where is there any other name?"

Cheng Shijie knew that Song Xiance had characters, and his characters were documents.

Li Fang, in fact, also has characters, and his characters are Yanzhi.

Shen Mingyu originally had no characters, but later Song Xiance gave him a character, Gongchen, which means Gongxingchen, and the stars are Ziwei Emperor Xing. To put it simply, the one he guards is the emperor.As for which emperor, I don't know.

Sun Yuanhua said: "Shijie, if you don't mind overstepping, Sun is willing to give Shijie an alias."

It is not easy to take characters for others. Those who can take characters are the authority of teachers or elders.Sun Yuanhua naturally had this identity to choose Cheng Shijie's name, and it was also a test for Cheng Shijie. If Cheng Shijie was willing to accept his name, then Cheng Shijie would be his disciple, his forever disciple, unless he didn't want to call that word again.

Cheng Shijie smiled: "Futai University is talented and talented, let's hear it!"

Sun Yuanhua said with a serious face: "Shijie will win every battle and is relied on by tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in southern Liaoning. Why not call him Beiping!"

"Beiping?"

Cheng Shijie pondered: "Cheng Shijie, Cheng Beiping?"

At the same time, Cheng Shijie also thought to himself, wouldn't Lao Tzu's house be called "Beiping Hall" in the future? Although he was unhappy, he still said seriously: "Thank you, Sun Futai, for giving me the number."

Sun Yuanhua shook his head: "Shijie is too far-fetched."

Sun Yuanhua followed Cheng Shijie, the righteous master, and began to inspect the academy. Of course, everyone's observation focus was different. Sun Yuanhua saw this Jinzhou Academy with high walls and tight fences. The strong and unrestrained atmosphere unique to the military rushed to the face.

This is Cheng Shijie's elite soldier.

Sun Yuanhua is the governor of Zhibing. He can tell whether an army can fight and whether its combat effectiveness is strong. In fact, these people are not Lishu Jinzhou Academy, but Cheng Shijie's own guards.

Sun Yuanhua looked at the two foreign devils in the crowd and said, "Shijie, why are you recruiting two foreigners?"

In fact, Sun Yuanhua had a faint dislike for these two foreign devils, because they were so dirty, dirtier than beggars.

"If it's dirty, you can wash it!"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said, "Master Futai, wait a moment."

Cheng Shijie looked at Cheng Shi beside him and said, "Have someone give them a new set of clothes, give them two buckets of water and let them rub for half an hour, don't come out if they're not clean!"

"Yes!"

Several Ning Haijuns rushed towards them like tigers, and the two foreign devils started screaming.One of the tall foreign devils stood in front of a shorter foreign devil and confronted Ning Haijun.

This tall foreign devil is quite brave. Facing Ning Haijun's swords and guns, he still has the courage to resist, and he really has the guts.

Cheng Shijie heard that these sailors are full of physical needs in order to solve the problem. The husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when the disaster is imminent, but they are true love.

These foreign devils were actually captured by Ning Haijun when he attacked Meng Xianhan. There were more than 100 of them. Because they were recruiting teachers from Jinzhou Academy, both of them were proficient in arithmetic and Chinese, so they were recruited.

One of the foreign devils was pretty good, and he knocked down two Ning Haijun soldiers to the ground. The No.3 Ning navy soldier was also kicked sideways and staggered.

Cheng Shijie was a little strange: "Hehe, there are two tricks!"

Don't look at Cheng Shijie smiling, the guards around him know that Cheng Shijie is angry now.As the saying goes, the master worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master humiliates his ministers to death.

Cheng Shijie's bodyguards naturally have experts, such as Wu Sheng, who was originally the son of Wu Huanrong, the last commander of Qi Jin's personal guards in the Qi family army.During the Battle of Hunhe, Wu Huanrong died in battle. Wu Sheng was only 17 years old at the time, and he had already won the true biography of Wu Huanrong.

The boxing he practices is called "Baziquan", that is, "Bajiquan" and some are also called Qijiaquan.In fact, this is a melee fighting technique popularized by Qi Jiguang in the army.Its movements are simple and concise, fierce and brittle, especially for small-day samurai with strong melee combat ability, with strong restraint.

When Wu Sheng took refuge in Cheng Shijie, Zhang Yu, who thought he was good at fighting with him, was hit by Wu Sheng's elbow. Zhang Yu's forearm capillaries burst and swelled like a calf. The swelling didn't go away for a whole month. The result of Wu Sheng's mercy.

Now Wu Sheng is 27 years old, Xu is 28 years old, and he is in the peak state of a boxer. When he was wandering in the Dongjiang Army, Wu Sheng's body had a deficit, and now he has already replenished it.

Wu Sheng's shot is a classic Bajiquan move, the tiger climbs the mountain hard.

Although the foreign devil was tall, he was extremely flexible and had a strong ability to resist blows. Facing Wu Sheng's stormy attack, he was able to persist.

However, the problem is that Wu Sheng wanted to show off the jackpot in front of Cheng Shijie, but he didn't expect this foreign devil to be able to take a beating. , kicked out and brought up a whirlwind, and the fight was extremely fierce.

At this moment, the short foreign devil yelled: "Stop, stop, stop beating, please stop beating..."

Cheng Shijie and Sun Yuanhua looked at each other, both of them were surprised.

Because this short foreign devil spoke with a female voice, and the voice was quite bright.

"stop!"

At this time, Wu Sheng was pushed by a Tieshan to push the tall foreign devil at least five meters away, and the foreign devil was beaten unconscious.

"Marshal, humble job... didn't stop!"

"Good skill!"

Cheng Shijie patted Wu Sheng on the shoulder and said, "This commander rewards you ten taels of silver!"

"Thank you, handsome!"

Although Cheng Shijie just said it lightly, in Ning Haijun's interior, his words are golden words, and when he said that he would reward ten taels of silver, it would be ten taels of silver.

Wu Sheng grinned, and said in a low voice: "Commander, that Fangui has two tricks, it's very rare to be able to persist for more than ten rounds under the humble hands!"

Watching the foreign devils fall to the ground, several Ning Haijun insisted on carrying out Cheng Shijie's order to let them take a bath.

Because of the difference between men and women, the original plan to give them a single room was temporarily changed. Ning Haijun soldiers took them to the teacher's dormitory, which is standard for single teachers.

Two small rooms, about 20 square meters, one as a living room and one as a bedroom.The bedroom is two beds, usually two small rooms for two people.

These two foreign devils are actually Catherine Contarini, the commander of the unlucky Venetian joint fleet supporting Crete.

Contarini is one of the oldest families in Venice, and their origins are also related to the founding of Venice.The current governor of the Venetian city-state Republic, Nicholas, is Catherine's father, and the former governor, Ferrancesco, is Catherine's grandfather.

Although the City-State Republic of Venice is a classical republic they call themselves, in fact, this coalition government is a mixture of three basic systems: the royal power of the duke, the aristocratic politics of the Senate, and the democratic politics of the Great Council.

Just like the opening chapter of an online novel, Catherine's father, Nicholas, had five older brothers and three younger brothers, all of whom died in battle. Until now, Catherine has four adult older brothers, all of whom died in battle, except for one 11-year-old brother, According to Venetian tradition, she is now actually the second heir to the Contarini family.

If something happens to her younger brother, she will succeed as the patriarch of the Contanelli family. Whether she can become the governor or consul of Venice depends on elections.However, she also has great opportunities.

In order to revitalize the family, 12-year-old Catherine entered the military service. Now 17-year-old Catherine is not only a Venetian lieutenant commander of the United Fleet Commander, but also a five-year military veteran.

The tall foreign devil who was injured was named Giovanni Corona. The Corona family is also one of the ancient families in Venice. It has produced eight governors, and its status is very prominent.

Although she knew that Giovanni liked her very much, Catherine could not agree, because the Contarini family was more important. If she married Giovanni, the Contarini family would become a vassal of the Corona family, and even was annexed.This is unacceptable to her.

A Ning navy soldier took Catherine and Giovanni to the adjacent dormitory, and then threw them each a new dress. Of course, it was definitely not the missionary's priest's uniform, but the Confucian gown of the Ming Dynasty.

Azure long gown and underwear.Then there is a paper bag, which is soap, one of the time travel artifacts.In the Ming Dynasty, this thing has been used on a large scale, but because the main raw materials are oil and alkali, mixed with spices.Due to the small farm economy in the Ming Dynasty, the production of animal fat was seriously insufficient.

The cost of scented soap is very high. A bar of scented soap costs almost [-] renminbi without labor costs, and more than [-] renminbi when labor costs are added, which is six renminbi silver, which is equivalent to six buckets of grain today.

Catherine smelled it and found that it smelled like tea. She was very happy. During the days when she was a prisoner, she didn't have a chance to take a bath. If she didn't open her mouth, no one could find out that she was a woman.

Although women (.人.) in Europa are generally larger, the problem is that because she has entered the military camp since she was 12 years old, and the feminist movement in Europa has not yet risen at this time, the status of women in Europa is not high, don’t look There are many queens in Europa.

It is precisely because of the low status of women that she wears a chest belt. As a result, at the age of 17, her breasts still look like those of a 12-year-old, except for her voice.

When Catherine entered the bathroom, she couldn't wait to take off her clothes and jump into the wooden tub for bathing. The hot water was so hot that she couldn't help crying out.

Slowly, from pain to enjoyment.After soaking for a while, she picked up the soap and rubbed it vigorously on her body, making bubbles all over her body...

While humming unknown songs, while dancing, making water splash.

Catherine was lucky. As for Giovanni, who was beaten to vomit blood and passed out, he enjoyed the treatment of being served. First, he was thrown in boiling hot water, soaked for half an hour, and then moved out and brushed directly with a brush.The brush made of pig bristles is easy to rub off the dust.

But the problem is, the taste is very sour...

Two days later, Giovanni, who had just woken up, opened his eyes and saw Catherine was holding a rice bowl and devouring the meal.

Giovanni immediately said to Catherine: "Dear Catherine, maybe you are too optimistic! It seems that the general is not interested in our teachings, but in our knowledge!"

Giovanni was furious at this time, and he woke up when he was being dusted, but no matter how much he begged for mercy, the wise man ignored him at all, even after two days, he now just lay on the bed, It's like being on fire.

Conscience of heaven and earth, when he fought Wu Sheng, the parts that were beaten were all on the front, but his back was not injured at all...

"What's the problem with that?"

Catherine smiled and said, "I'm not a missionary, and neither are you. We are soldiers of the Venetian City-State Republic. Our strategic purpose is to support Crete. Now the mission has completely failed, but we...we..."

"What are we?"

"We seem to have a strong ally in our hands!"

Catherine said excitedly: "Dear Giovanni, didn't you find out? The pirates who attacked us were easily wiped out by Your Excellency General Cheng. He still has tens of thousands of elite troops under his command. Beheaded tens of thousands of powerful enemies, beheaded tens of thousands, God, what kind of power is this?"

Giovanni is a devout believer, he muttered: "I heard from the believers who preached in Guangzhou that they have developed a lot of believers, including the elite, but these elites are not interested in our church. ancestry, but our European technological achievement."

"What does it matter? We can use our knowledge to slowly lead them to the right path and bring them back to the embrace of God!"

"Catherine, please calm down!"

When Giovanni got excited, his body hurt everywhere, and he gasped in pain: "Calm down, you can't do this!"

"I can do it!"

"You're too confident, you can't!"

"I can!"

"Just like Matteo Ricci, he made friends with many powerful people in the country, including Mr. Xu Guangqi, a distinguished figure with high morals and prestige. But Mr. Xu also went for Ricci's scientific attainments. They all Scientific knowledge is being exchanged all day long, if Matteo Ricci refuses to help translate European scientific and technological works, all his congregation will leave immediately!"

Giovanni said with a wry smile: "Even those who really convert to God are not very pious. They believe in Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism while believing in God. They don't take religious belief seriously..."

Catherine sighed, and said: "No way, this huge country is too casual on the issue of religious belief. For thousands of years, no religion has ever been able to become the state religion of the entire country... I hope we can make this Do something here, dear Giovanni, we have nowhere to go, not even money to go back to Venice... I must rely on the General!"

……

After taking a bath, Catherine, who had changed into new clothes, looked heroic. Whenever she was free, she wanted to see Cheng Shijie.

In front of the military headquarters.
Catherine asked the guard, "I want to see General Cheng!"

"General Cheng is not in the General Military Mansion!"

"Then, may I ask, where did he go?"

"I'm very sorry, this is a military secret, please don't inquire about it!"

Catherine wanted to see Cheng Shijie, but couldn't.

But Feng Sanniang, Yang Yunniang, Jin Qiaoer and others who were in the backyard of the General Military Mansion cursed loudly: "Fan Po is a Fan Po, shameless!"

Yang Yunniang: "Dare to seduce men in broad daylight!"

"You mean she should come at night?"

"It's useless to come at night!"

Yang Yunniang had a lot of questions and wanted to see Cheng Shijie, but unfortunately she couldn't.

Cheng Shijie was very busy at this time.

Southern Liaoning seems to have been directly drawn away by an invisible big hand. At the end of March, the weather suddenly became hot. In the sky, it seems that the crackling of the sun can be heard.

There are military households working hard to reclaim wasteland everywhere in southern Liaoning. Hundreds of military households are bare-chested and swinging hoes, reclaiming pieces of wasteland.According to a rough estimate, they have reclaimed more than 350 million mu of wasteland during this period. With more and more people, the speed of reclamation is also getting faster and faster. It is not a problem to reclaim another 80 mu of land.

The fields that were reclaimed earlier were planted with traditional wheat, beans, sorghum, and some paddy fields were also planted with rice. As for the fields that were reclaimed later, they were planted with corn, potatoes or sweet potatoes.

The current temperature is around 25 degrees, which is the time when sweet potato seedlings grow the fastest. In just three or four days, stubble seedlings can be harvested and then replanted.

During this period of time, Cheng Shijie also spared no effort to buy various seeds from later generations. In order to enrich the dining table of the people in southern Liaoning, Cheng Shijie also brought pepper seeds from later generations. The pepper seeds are very light, and only 1 grams are needed for one mu of land. , easy to carry, Cheng Shijie took ten days to bring [-] kilograms of seeds, which is [-] mu of peppers.Followed by cabbage, radish.

In southern Liaoning today, the population is far from being saturated, and there are too many lands abandoned due to irrigation difficulties, poor fertility and other reasons.

Those sweet potatoes are doing well too.Cheng Shijie asked the military households to change the method of planting sweet potatoes. They first raised a ridge, divided a piece of land into several ridges, and then opened a ditch in the middle of the ridge, filled it with plant ash, silt and other things as fertilizer, and finally filled it back. Plant two potato seedlings half a foot apart.

This method made the military households feel very novel. In the past, they did not raise ridges when planting sweet potatoes, let alone fertilize them.

Now the potato vines are growing crazily, but it won't last long. The military households have to cut potato seedlings every day and then transplant them. Although the potato vines are growing well, they can't go crazy.

This is what Cheng Shijie wants. If the potato vines grow too crazy, the production of sweet potatoes will be affected. Well, it's just right!

There is no need to worry too much about the dry wheat fields. By the river, the waterwheel is still turning non-stop, bringing the river water out of the bank, and then sending it along the ditches to the distant farmland.

Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, almost sat in southern Liaoning, because he had to wait for Chen Zilong and others to arrive, but the problem was that Chen Zilong was supposed to arrive in early March, but Miss Xu Si went out to sea for the first time, and she was still excited at the beginning , After four or five days, I will get tired of it. I want to take a carriage and go all the way north to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Miss Xu Si's appeal is very strong. Chen Zilong had no choice but to let the fleet go slowly. It took more than 20 days to reach Dengzhou after the original 40-day trip.

Sun Yuanhua watched Cheng Shijie make the farmland so impressive, he tried every means to topdress the fields, to irrigate them, and to dig wells and ditches at all costs.Now Cheng Shijie is leading a group of craftsmen to make phosphate fertilizer...

Sun Yuanhua even wondered whether Chen Zilong still needed to come to southern Liaoning?

From Cheng Shijie's point of view, it was necessary for Chen Zilong to come, especially those young masters who came to southern Liaoning to give money.

PS: Because Lao Cheng’s father was hospitalized with lung cancer, he didn’t spend Chinese New Year at home during the Spring Festival. Now that he’s back in his hometown, relatives and friends come to visit his father, and the guests need to be entertained, so there’s no time to write. I fell asleep after writing more than 2000 words in that chapter at night. , Woke up to write at five o'clock in the morning.At night, try to do your best.
