Xie Mansion,

Xie Pi packed up his things and was about to go to Zhongguancun in Liangxiang. Xie Xiangling pushed open the door and said angrily: "Where are you going? Dad is coming back soon."

"Sister, please help me stop my dad for a while, and I will walk through the back door." Xie Pi simply put his clothes into the package and prepared to leave.

This way you won't encounter your dad.

Xie Pi carried a bag on his back and was about to snatch the door, but he stood at the door and did not dare to move. He saw Xie Qian appear here at some point.

In the room, there are all kinds of luxury items.

A Song family astronomical telescope poked out from the window and was facing the sky.

These silvers were not painful for the Xie family, and they accidentally cultivated Xie Pi's strong interest in science.

"Where do you want to go!"

Xie Pi took a few steps back: "I want to go out for a trip and gain knowledge."

"Hmph! The autumn exam is coming, and scholars from all over the world are busy studying hard. You go out to travel and want to anger your father to death!" Xie Qian scolded: "Come on, move these things out of the house."

Xie Pi took a few steps back and saw the window beside him. While his father was not paying attention, he flashed out of the window: "I will definitely pass the exam. Sister, please help me stop my father!"

When I chased me out, I couldn't see anyone anymore.

"You guys are all disobedient." Xie Qian was both angry and helpless, so he had to send someone to find Xie Pi's whereabouts.

...

Liangxiang,

Song Jing brought six engineers to the usual equipment-making workshop where several craftsmen were cutting wood.

"Master Song, is this?"

"The printer has not been made yet."

Song Jing continued: "The most urgent task is to build a ship, you can see this."

When I lifted the tarp, it was an exquisite treasure ship, with tung oil, but this ship was only the length of the arm.

"This is a treasure ship that can go south to sea. You guys take a closer look."

This treasure boat was afraid of wasting the wood of Liangxiang, and was carefully made by craftsmen according to the proportions of the drawings.

Xie Pi looked at it for a long time and saw that the wood used in the hull and floor of this ship was different, which was no different from the wood used in Dabao ship.

Yan Chengjin arrives

Looking at the list of the first batch of engineers, Xie Pi? Isn’t this Xie Qian’s son?

"Who is Xie Pi?"

Six people stood in a row, and one of the people with beautiful facial features stood up, bowed and smiled, "The student is Xie Pi."

"You're removed, go back."

"Why... the student got the first place in the exam." Xie Pi's face turned petrified.

"You are so outstanding, engineers are just mediocre people."

Too excellent and lost?

Xie Pi didn't react for a long time, and the five of them secretly thanked that they were not the first place.

Some ministers slandered Xie Qian in the science department, and it was difficult for science to continue.

Xie Qian is the top scholar, how can he tolerate his son not taking the imperial examination?

Be cautious, Yan Chengjin removed Xie Pi before he came.

"But...but my father was coerced by Lord Yan?" My father was a court chief and had a higher power than Lord Yan, so Xie Pi couldn't help guessing.

"Let's go."

Xie Pi saw a deep loss on his face and insisted: "The students finally came here, how could they leave just by saying an adult!"

Yan Chengjin suddenly asked: "What is your dream?"

"???" Hope suddenly lit up in Xie Pi's eyes.

"I dare to ask you...what is a dream?"

Yan Chengjin looked at Song Jing beside him and asked the same sentence: "Yixian, what is your dream?"

"Don't use what you have learned in your life to benefit the people of the world." Song Jing replied.

One magical utensil after another was made from him, and Song Jing had a new understanding of self-cultivation, family management, country and peace.

It is not only the Four Books and Five Classics that can cultivate oneself.

In addition to the principles of saints, there are many other principles that are waiting for future generations to explore.

Science is one of them. With the principle of science, if you do not read the Four Books and Five Classics, you can govern the country and pacify the world.

The telescope helped the court win battles, and the workshops in Liangxiang supported tens of thousands of refugees. This is to use the principles other than saints to govern the country and pacify the world.

Song Jing became more and more convinced of science.

"Students don't have...no dreams." Xie Pi lowered his head in shame. He could not understand the life or death of a refugee, and it had nothing to do with him. Taking science is just because he thought that science could make interesting crafts.

After Xie Pi left, Song Jing said: "It takes hard work to pass the exam. The adults persuaded him to withdraw. Is it..."

"In the future, he is not allowed to come to Liangxiang Workshop."

Yan Chengjin couldn't bear to cheat him, and he spent time on science, so it was difficult to ensure that the provincial examination would not fail.

...

Xie Mansion,

Xie Qian took two days off and was worried.

Pier escaped from the house without even taking the package, without any money on her body, how to eat and stay... Thinking of this, he burst into tears...

"Pi'er won't come back, and his father is shameless and will send the Five City Military Command to investigate."

Xie Xiangling regretted it very much and said softly: "My brother is just going out for a trip. My father is too strict on weekdays..." Seeing his father's face, he knew that he had caused trouble and dared not continue.

Xie Qian snorted coldly, and the butler hurried in and said, "Master, I have searched all the two urban areas in the east and west, but I have not seen the whereabouts of the second young master. It seems that he is not in the capital."

"father……"

Xie Qian's eyes turned pale and he almost fainted. At this moment, a lost figure walked in.

"Master, the second young master is back!"

Xie Qian raised his hand and made a gesture to beat him, but he felt something was wrong. His son's eyes were dull, and the boots under his feet were broken, revealing his toes.

How far has this child walked and broke his shoes?

"Pier, where have you been?"

None of his sons can be said and said that when he saw his son's loss of soul, Xie Qian felt strange.

"I'm going back to my house to study." Xie Pi returned to the room and closed the door.

Xie Qian then followed in, saw the science formula on the table, and asked, "Have you gone to Liangxiang?"

Seeing that his son refused to answer, Xie Qian did not use his verbal skills and walked out silently.

Half an hour later, Xie Qian appeared in the Censorate, despised, and asked Yan Chengjin: "My son Xie Pi, but he went to take the science subject, why did his temperament change drastically?"

"Xie Pi got the first place in the exam, and the junior officer canceled his score."

After hearing this, Xie Qian did not get angry immediately, but asked, "What's wrong with my son?"

"Science and Science are more vast than Confucianism, and they cannot both. If you enter the science subject, you may have to fail the provincial examination, and you will be given a post for Xie Pi." Song Jing often indulged in research, not knowing the passage of time.

Xie Qian sighed sadly and turned around and left.

...

After spring, the ice layer of the canal transport melted, and merchant ships headed north to Liangxiang.

Merchants discovered that there was an extra fork in the Lugou River in Tongzhou section, and huge wooden signs stood on the shore: This road leads to Liangxiang.

In just one winter, the waterways in Liangxiang were opened?

In the past, merchants had to go north to the wharf in Tongzhou, and then rushed to Liangxiang. When the waterway was opened, they could go directly to Liangxiang from west to Liangxiang.

Yan Chengjin stood at Liangxiang Wharf, and many canal boats were docked next to the shore. This bay area was enough to accommodate more than 50 canal boats at the same time.

A new profession appeared at the dock, unloading sailors and clutters.

Refugees who can work gather here.

In Liangxiang Yaxing, Xie Yu hangs the prices of canal boats, small yellow boats, miscellaneous boats, shack boats, full shed boats, etc.

The merchants buying boats lined up in a long queue.

Boats from Liangxiang only need to pay two banknotes and travel to the south and north, which is more cost-effective than renting boats from other shipyards.

"Sir, the corn from Hainan has been transported back. Today we will go to Tongzhou Warehouse." Just now, Jinyiwei came to the yamen and Zhang Xian came to the wharf to inform Yan Chengjin.

Corn is back?
Chapter completed!
