"You may not believe it. Yesterday, I chopped wood on the mountain outside the city and saw a monster running faster than a horse. The screams were deafening and terrifying!"

On the second day, at a tea stall in Xianyang City, young people, wrapped in thick clothes, said mysteriously to the two of them at the same table.

"What? Monster? Why haven't we heard of it?"

The two looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

If there were really such a monster, it would definitely spread throughout Xianyang City today, but they had already come out early in the morning and didn’t get any news!

"If such a thing is said, it will definitely cause panic among the people, so the court did not release the news!"

The man said it was reasonable and just like a real thing.

"Oh? Then what happened later? The monster didn't attack you?"

The two blinked and listened seriously.

"No! I was on the mountain, and the monster was at the foot of the mountain, and I didn't find me at all! And when I discovered it, it was being chased by the people of the court. After it was caught, it was wrapped with a rope and led by a horse!"

The man said vividly, and at the same time he did not forget to thank the court.

"Is it being held by the people of the court using a rope and taken away?"

The two of them frowned slightly. Why do they feel that this scene seems familiar?

"Yes, I saw it really. The big guy was pitch black all over and was pulled away by hundreds of horses!"

"Puff...hahaha..."

"Huh? What I said is true. Why are you laughing at?"

The man scratched his head inexplicably, not understanding why the two of them were laughing.

"The monster you mentioned should be a train, right?"

"Train? What train?"

"Don't you read the newspaper?"

"Newspaper? My child has not been here for the past two days, so no one will read it to me!"

"Okay, then I'll read it for you...!"

After saying that, one of them found the shopkeeper and asked for a newspaper from today.

The newspaper recorded the entire process of yesterday's train test, which also included the fact that the train was not reversed and was pulled back with a horse.

"What? The big guy I saw yesterday turned out to be a train? Can you travel thousands of miles a day?"

The woodcutter who just swore to the point of seeing the monster was very embarrassed and scratched his head.

"That's right, a relative of my family is a craftsman who is involved in making trains. He also told us what happened yesterday, and there was no difference between what was said in the newspaper. What you saw on the mountain yesterday was not a monster, but a train!"

"Oh! Look at my eyes, I was so scared yesterday that I dared to go down the mountain after I was sure that the big monster left. In order to prevent the monster from running back again, I also went around the homes of several mountains, which made me tired!"

After understanding everything, the woodcutter was so regretful that he was in vain that he had gone so many detours.

If he had known it was a train, he would have run down to watch it together!

"Tell me quickly, what big things have been said in the newspapers these two days?"

"Do you know about the establishment of the navy?"

"I don't know!"

"You always know that you will distribute cotton seeds to our people tomorrow, right?"

"Well, I heard from my neighbors!"

"Okay, then I'll tell you about the upcoming navy...!"

At the tea stall, the people who had just told the story of the monsters vividly, had become an audience member, holding their hands with their cheeks and listening carefully to the two of them talking about several major events reported in the newspaper.

In addition to this place, other restaurants, teahouses and even brothels are talking about trains and the upcoming naval affairs!

When it comes to these, Ying Feiyu must be indispensable.

"In my opinion, our young master has a bright future!"

"Yes, the young master has the courage, ideas, and loves the people as much as his son. As the people of the Qin Dynasty, we will have a good life in the future!"

"No, it's the young master who gave us poor people a chance to become officials! The spring exam will be in a few days. As long as we stand out, we can become officials immediately! This is something we didn't dare to think about before!"

"It is said that the spring examination is very strict, and the system of sealing and ceremonials is adopted, and even the examiners cannot see the name, and it depends entirely on the scholar's articles!"

"Yes, this will be fair to our people!"

...

After the newspaper was released, the people heated up discussions for a long time.

Especially those poor students, they are all looking forward to the arrival of the Spring Examination.

Time slipped away little by little under this expectation.

As winter goes and spring comes, Ying Feiyu took out the cotton seeds harvested last year and distributed some to every household for free.

The enhanced seeds given by the system can mature for two seasons a year. In winter, it ensures that people all over the world have warm cotton coats to wear and thick quilts to cover!

Before this, Ying Zheng had also worried that the prevalence of cotton would affect the sales of sweaters!

The answer is certainly no!

Wear what to wear in what season!

Sweaters are worn in spring and autumn, but last winter it was just a cotton jacket, so the people could make do with it!

The navy's recruitment is definitely not for the public, but selecting some familiar people from the current soldiers, which is useless even if the people are anxious.

With the experience of the last train, this time, before the steam ship was built, Ying Feiyu began to train the navy, and compiled the training materials into a book, and asked the printing factory to print a thousand copies, one copy for each navy recruited!

Since the steamship has not been successfully manufactured, he only picked one thousand people out and then gradually expanded!

The weather warmed up and the water surface of the Wei River had also melted. The navy who had learned the theory well began to practice!

If there are no large warships, practice with the modified building ship first.

Wind direction, sail and some emergency practices!

I even simulated sailing and lived on the boat for more than a month!

And the court was also very busy, especially the Ministry of Rites!

The spring examination is about to begin, and a large number of students are pouring into Xianyang, and the inns of various sizes in Xianyang are full of people.

This made the shopkeepers of major inns and restaurants so happy!

With this wave of spring exams alone, they can make a lot of money!

"Your Majesty, the test questions have been drawn up and sealed in Anshou Pavilion. The door has been locked and people will be sent to guard it every day!"

Above the hall, Chun Yu Yue, the Minister of Rites, stared at the two big panda eyes and bowed to report to Ying Zheng.

"Haha, the style of Shangshu Chun today is very unique!"

Before Ying Zheng could speak, Ying Feiyu suddenly laughed, took out a small mirror from his arms and placed it in front of Chunyu Yue.

Chunyu Yue then realized that he had a haggard face, his eyes were blue and black, and seven or eight brushes were inserted into his bun. The ink stains on several of them had not yet dried!

Recently, the Ministry of Rites has been busy with the Spring Examination, and Ying Zheng has granted him no morning court for the time being.

Today, he finally finished all the work, so he locked Anshou Pavilion himself, and rushed over quickly without paying attention to his image!

No wonder the little eunuchs and the little palace maids along the way looked at each other.
Chapter completed!
