I'm a big dick

Chapter 322 Change, new knowledge and new talents

The spring breeze is blowing, soft and warm, the air is very fresh, and the sun is also very bright.

Maybe the environment is not so beautiful, but Li Zhengdong just feels that everything in the outside world is pleasing to him.

"Congratulations, Master Li."

"Congratulations to Master Li first."

On the way to the yamen, from time to time someone smiled and saluted and greeted enthusiastically.

"Thank you, thank you."

Every time at this time, Li Zhengdong smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and politely returned the gift to express his gratitude.

As a long-standing official, Li Zhengdong has never been called an "adult" in the past twenty years, and only the county magistrate is qualified in this county.

But starting today, no, it should be after receiving the reply from the Ministry of Officials yesterday, Li Zhengdong Li Dianshi has become a ninth-rank official, not a low-level subordinate.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, the history of classics belonged to civilian foreign officials who had not entered the ranks (below the ninth rank), but the positions of classics and history were all selected by the Ministry of Officials and appointed by the emperor, and they could barely be regarded as "officials ordered by the court".

Although still doing the original job, but the identity is quite different.

There is also the old scribe who was transferred to the official position with Li Zhengdong, only rank nine, but held a banquet to celebrate last night, got drunk and wailed loudly.It's a disgrace to have a gray beard.

Li Zhengdong despised the old scribe surnamed Zheng, felt very low-key and calm, and walked into the familiar yamen.

"I've seen the county magistrate." Li Zhengdong was summoned by the county magistrate, and he bowed when he entered the hall.

The county magistrate is very young, and he was a Jinshi of the new department last year. After taking office, he received a lot of help from Li Zhengdong and the old scribe.As a result, Li Zhengdong and the old scribes also got the opportunity to be transferred from official to official position. It has to be said that good intentions are rewarded.

The county magistrate nodded, stretched out his hand and introduced, "This is Mr. Xia, the censor of Yanyan."

"I have seen Master Xia." Li Zhengdong hastily turned around and saluted Xia Zhongshi.

Zhong Xia politely got up to return the salute, and sat down with Li Zhengdong.

"Li Dianshi has been an official in this county for many years. He is not only diligent, but also familiar with the local conditions." The county magistrate said with a smile: "And he has just been selected by the Ministry of Officials, and he has become the first batch of officials to be transferred to officials. Master Xia's official duties, this county Order him to cooperate."

In the middle of summer, he looked at Li Zhengdong again. He looked about 40 years old, with a very strong figure, some wrinkles on his face, and he was quite tanned.Just like this, Xia Zhongshi is very satisfied, just don't send a weak scholar.

"Then there is Lord Laurie." Zhong Xia said politely, cupping his hands.

Li Zhengdong was a little flattered, this was not an ordinary person calling him, but an official whose rank was higher than his, he was so polite, not because he was also a court official registered by the Ministry of Officials.

"Lord Xia, you are polite." Li Zhengdong hurriedly got up and cupped his hands and said, "If there is any order, Master Xia can just give orders."

Xia Zhongshi quickly stretched out his hand to signal Li Zhengdong to sit down, and seeing his panicked look, he couldn't help feeling a little bit sympathetic, and said with emotion: "Master Li doesn't have to be like this. Being able to become an official in the first batch shows the talent of Master Li."

After a pause, Xia Zhongshi seemed to be laughing at himself, and also seemed to want to get closer, and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, my lords, I was a despicable businessman a month ago, and I put it on because of Long live Jianba. This official uniform."

The county magistrate and Li Zhengdong were very surprised, but since they were able to win Long live Jianba, it can be seen that this Lord Xia is not a small person, although he is a merchant, his future is very bright.

"Long live you are wise and powerful, you can recognize talents with your eyes, and you never see your background." The county magistrate cupped his hands to the north and said, "Master Xia must have extraordinary talents if he can win the imperial examination last year. See, listen to the teachings of the holy words. Compared with Master Xia, I am really envious in my heart."

Li Zhengdong also clasped his hands and echoed: "Long live the sage, only the talents are promoted, so that there will be no leftovers in the countryside, and there will be the style of Tang Zong and Song Zu."

In the middle of summer, he said a few words of humility, casually asked about the salt field and Zao Ding, then got up to say goodbye, and went to the post house to rest.

After seeing off Xia Zhongshi, and returning to the hall, the county magistrate told Li Zhengdong again that the official rank of the inspector censor in Xia Zhongshi was not high, but it must not be underestimated, and he must do his best to cooperate with the work.

"Don't worry, my lord." Li Zhengdong bowed to receive the instruction, "Lord Xia is entrusted by Wansui Jianba, and the errands he handles must also be accounted for by Wansui. Don't you know the importance of a lowly job, and dare to treat him lightly?"

The county magistrate chuckled and said, "Quickly change the title of 'humble post'. You are already an official registered in the Ministry of Officials, so you should call yourself a lower official."

Li Zhengdong smiled, he was fine in front of others, but in front of the county magistrate, he really couldn't change for a while.

Seeing Li Zhengdong's blushing look, the county magistrate reminded again: "Old Li, don't think about making progress if you become an official. Long live the innovation and eliminate the disadvantages. As long as you are diligent and willing to work, the road to promotion is very smooth."

Pointing to the outside, the county magistrate said: "It's not just you. In the future, there may be all grades in this yamen, all of which will be compiled by the Ministry of Officials, and all the salaries will be distributed by the imperial court!"

Li Zhengdong couldn't help being greatly astonished, there were not many officials in the county government, but there were quite a lot of subordinate officials and servants.

In ancient times, the personnel in the county government were divided into three levels: officials, officials, and servants, and they were pyramid-shaped in number.

The division of labor in government affairs is roughly as follows: officials make decisions, officials handle documents, and servants are dispatched.

Although only magistrates, county magistrates, master books, and Dianshi are official officials, assistants, and leaders, they are regarded as imperial officials, and the number is very small.

However, the officials include Liufang, Liangke, Make and other departments, who are responsible for handling documents, documents, accounts, and records; Waiting for things, waiting for officials and officials to send.

There are always dozens of people in small counties, and hundreds of people in large counties.If all the salaries of these people were borne by the court, how much would it cost?

Seeing Li Zhengdong's surprise, Zhixian just smiled, didn't say any more, and told Li Zhengdong to keep his mouth shut.

Full of doubts, Li Zhengdong resigned and went back to his office to sort out all kinds of documents and materials in order to accompany Zhongxia to inspect the saltworks tomorrow.

innovation?Lao Li suddenly thought of the key words that the magistrate said, and couldn't help thinking for a long time.Could it be that the rules of the officialdom are going to change, and the morals of the world are going to change?
...............................
Where has the spring breeze of reform blown, and how many people have felt the changes involving themselves?

For the emperor in the Forbidden City, he can only make judgments based on imagination, secret performances, and memorials and inscriptions submitted by various places.

Of course, this is not comprehensive.As Mr. Shen Lang, he still has several commoner friends, and the number is still increasing.

The meeting place outside the palace has been expanded, the big house next to it has also been bought, the courtyard wall has been opened up, and it has been arranged like a school for later generations.

There are not only laboratories, but also complete experimental equipment and materials; there are also libraries, dormitories, and a sports field outside.

After Xu Fuyuan, Xia Yunyi and the others finished their tour, they saw Mr. Shen Lang and Shen Lang again in the hall.

From the cultural level, these people are fully qualified, even the emperor should feel ashamed.

After several months of mathematics reinforcement and the introduction of natural science, Zhu Youxiao thinks that they are ready for further study in junior high school.

In addition to Xu Fuyuan, Xia Yunyi, Zhang Yitai and other familiar students, there are also a few good students recommended by the professor of new science, who will also live together, learn new knowledge, and get in touch with the most advanced science in the world.

As the saying goes: The master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't know how much these people can learn from the textbooks he edited. It all depends on personal understanding, and he can't control it.

It stands to reason that the cultural level of these people should be higher than elementary school students, but it is limited to the things and information that they usually come into contact with, so Zhu Youxiao is not easy to make judgments lightly.

But scientists are also selected one in a thousand, one in a thousand. Who dares to say that one can become a talent?There are a few people who can understand most of them, and Zhu Youxiao will be very satisfied if he can teach the students of Shaoying Academy in a year or two.

After meeting with everyone, sitting down to drink tea, and chatting a little, Zhu Youxiao went straight to the point and told everyone about the next arrangement.

"Everyone must have been notified that they will be closed to study here for two months." Zhu Youxiao looked around at the sixteen people in the hall with a warm smile on his face, "Although all my dear friends are eager to learn and are extremely eager for new knowledge , but now Shen still has to make a final confirmation, whether he regrets quitting."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they all focused on Zhu Youxiao.

"Brother Shen." Xu Fuyuan said with a smile: "Anyone who regrets will not come here. Have you seen that everyone is very determined!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, and motioned for the servants to open the box. Each of them had three books, all of which were newly printed, with high-quality paper and the fragrance of ink.

"These three books are digital geniuses, and they were also researched by the predecessors with painstaking efforts." Zhu Youxiao's face became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "These seniors have passed away, so I need to wait until I understand them thoroughly and pass them on. This kind of precious knowledge is not only the wealth of the country, but also will benefit all people, I hope you will work hard and work hard to live up to your predecessors, the country, and the people.”

This is very noble and great, and everyone's face became serious, looking at the books on the table eagerly.

The brainchild of geniuses and seniors, for them, it is as powerfully attractive as martial arts cheats are for martial idiots.

"No one is teaching you, you can only discuss and learn from each other." Zhu Youxiao didn't have so much time, and wanted to see how far these young talents could learn by themselves.

With a wave of his hand, the servants handed out the books to everyone one by one.Those who were in a hurry turned it over to read, it happened to be a page of incomprehensible symbols, and their eyes widened.Is it because of the scriptures?

Zhu Youxiao chuckled and thought of an excuse to leave.

If he waited until more people opened the book and read it, the questions raised would probably be enough for him to answer all night.

Before he opened his mouth to speak, a person rushed into the hall while shouting, "That's right, that's right. Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, what you said is indeed correct. Only by calculating in this way, the ratio is the most correct... ..."

Everyone was attracted by this guy who appeared suddenly, and they didn't know what nonsense he was talking about.

"Old Song, calm down, calm down." Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, raised his hand to signal his guard and bodyguard to be calm, and got up to comfort Song Yingxing again and again.

Seeing that Song Yingxing's hair was unkempt and his clothes were full of wrinkles, he hadn't washed or changed them for a few days.

Regardless of his own image, Song Yingxing rushed to Zhu Youxiao, holding the book in his left hand, pointing with his right hand, and said excitedly, "It's too subtle, the equation is too subtle, you can get it by deduction and calculation on paper. The best recipe…”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Old Song, if you continue to study, you will find more subtle things."

After a pause, he stretched out his hand to signal, "These are young talents who will study and research physical chemistry, and we will get along well in the future. There are some problems, and you, Song, need to guide them."

Song Yingxing moved here years ago and came into contact with new knowledge.Zhu Youxiao gave him some pointers here, but he still gave him a false name——Shen Lang.

Staring around with his big eyes, Song Yingxing curled his lips and said, "They want to learn, do they have that brain?"

After saying that, he turned around and left, still muttering: "Hurry up, you can still do an experiment, don't waste time with these scholars."

Zhu Youxiao was a little dazed, but he didn't expect Lao Song to be a little crazy, and tended to approach Frankenstein.

Turning his gaze, he saw the complex expressions of everyone. Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Song Yingxing has made a lot of achievements in astronomy, acoustics, agronomy, and manufacturing. He is your big brother."

Xia Yunyi looked at Zhu Youxiao thoughtfully, and said, "According to someone, brother Shen's knowledge can be our teacher, so why let me learn by myself?"

Zhu Youxiao shook his head, and said: "I'm entangled in some mundane matter, I really don't have much time, I hope you will forgive me. But if you really have questions in the future, if Shen knows, I will tell you all."

"Brother Shen's words—" Xu Fuyuan chuckled, and said, "Well, what Brother Shen said must be hidden, and we don't have to worry about it."

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, what an "unspeakable secret", I am a dragon and a tiger, and I will have a child soon.

"If you have any needs, just ask the next person, and they will try their best to solve it." Zhu Youxiao arched his hands and said, "I have something important to do, so I will leave first."

"Brother Shen, go slowly."

"Brother Shen must come here often!"

Everyone got up to send each other off, Zhang Yitai was still joking with a smile, but Yanyan regarded herself as the master of the place.

Zhu Youxiao didn't take it seriously, but he really liked the feeling of being familiar with informality and talking freely. He waved goodbye to everyone, turned and walked out.

When he came to the gate of the house, Zhu Youxiao stopped again and asked his servants to lead him to Song Yingxing.

Song Yingxing was born in a scholar-bureaucrat family, and he is diligent and studious, with a high cultural quality.However, he failed many times in the imperial examinations for selecting scholars based on stereotyped essays.

However, he never slackens his pursuit of knowledge, and his academic approach is also different from others. He often goes out of his study to get in touch with the society.

It is precisely this kind of travel consideration that gives him more opportunities to understand the technological process in the field of mass production at the grassroots level.

However, "Tiangong Kaiwu", which he wrote more than ten years later, was mostly collected and recorded, but rarely had his own research and discussion on scientific principles.

Now, suddenly exposed to the knowledge that can reveal the principle of operation and the composition of matter, Zhu Youxiao worried that he might have some mental problems.
