Everyone was swept by Emperor Jing's gaze and couldn't help lowering their heads and not daring to look directly.
There was a murmur in my heart.
Changing household types is something that would never be allowed in normal times.
The people can go about their own business, and the sons can inherit their father's legacy. What a wonderful system.
But after arbitrary changes, people's minds are not settled and they all want to develop according to their own ideas. Wouldn't it be a mess?
Farmers do not farm well, and blacksmiths do not work well either.
Although most people strongly opposed it, it was really hard to speak up at this moment.
Just after being scolded by Fang Zheng, His Majesty stood by him again.
The most important thing is that students from Dongjiao University have really made great contributions! I don’t know how many uses this hot air balloon will have in the future.
If only university graduates in the eastern suburbs can change their household types, then this small opening seems to be a compromise.
The ministers were speechless, but finally Li Yansong said: "Since His Majesty has agreed, I should obey."
Emperor Jing said: "Okay, then the matter is settled. If we continue to arrange it, we will open a convenient door for the students of Dongjiao University in the future."
Fang Zheng was overjoyed!
Stable! This time, the foundation of Dongjiao University has been completely stabilized. With this permission alone, I don’t know how many people who are determined to change their destiny will devote themselves to science.
Originally, the seedling of science was very fragile, but in the next moment it grew into a small tree.
If you want to recruit students again in the future, you don’t have to spend too much effort.
If we open branch schools across the country and comprehensively screen talents, is it possible to create a college entrance examination system that is parallel to the imperial examination?
Then I, Fang Zhengyi, am not the father of the college entrance examination!
This time, why don't you turn it upside down completely and make up for your injured heart?
Fang Zheng licked his lips and said excitedly: "On behalf of all the students of Eastern Suburb University, I would like to thank His Majesty for your kindness!"
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, let's talk about this hot air balloon first."
"This thing is easy to control, so it's like having an extra eye in my sight. I'm going to set up another flying guard, tentatively numbering a thousand people. The Ministry of Finance will allocate money to build another batch of hot air balloons."
"First mobilize some manpower for me to coordinate with the Ministry of War and teach me how to control the hot air balloon."
"I obey the decree!"
...
It was already dark.
Xiao Letian returned home briskly.
When I came to my house and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, I still felt a deep sense of unreality.
What happened today was so dreamy.
Entering the palace, he met the emperor, and the young master Li who accompanied him crazy turned out to be the prince.
The most important thing is that you have been proven!
Now that the knot that had been clogging his chest has been lifted, Dad would be extremely happy if he knew about this.
I just don’t know when the reward from the court will come.
Thinking about it, Xiao Letian opened the door.
The room was still as dark as ever, and his father would be reluctant to light a lamp if he wasn't reading.
Xiao Letian fumbled and lit the oil lamp.
He walked into the house holding the oil lamp and saw that Xiao Kang had fallen asleep on his side, so he gently blew out the oil lamp.
"Come back?" Xiao Kang's voice suddenly came.
"Dad, are you awake?"
"Go to sleep, there is food in the pot, don't light the lamp if you don't want to read." Xiao Kang's voice was without a trace of ripples.
Although the knot in my heart has been resolved, I can't stand the recent rumors that keep coming.
Especially when he offended the matchmaker last time, the old ladies held grudges very much and fanned the flames even more enthusiastically.
Under her instigation, the rough and shrew neighbor became even more arrogant and spoke extremely unpleasantly.
After being in this environment for a long time, Xiao Kang inevitably became depressed, and the communication between father and son that had eased became difficult again.
Xiao Letian knew this situation well.
I wanted to tell my father the good news with enthusiasm, but my emotions were extinguished by Xiao Kang's cold attitude.
A wry smile appeared on Xiao Letian's face, he walked to the couch and slept in his clothes.
Stop talking! Let's wait until the reward comes, because now I'm afraid my father will regard him as a lunatic.
....
The next day, Xiao Kang went to work as usual.
In the morning, this shift of work was to transport goods to the market in Dongshi. They had to go out before dawn, and they had to arrive before most people got up.
It's hard physical work, even though there are three wheels in the world now.
But the owner didn't provide any supplies, let alone a horse-drawn carriage. There was only an old wooden cart that was pulled forward and pushed back.
After half an hour, Xiao Kang arrived at the place with his hands covered with black mud.
After taking a moment to breathe, Xiao Kang took off the cloth on his shoulders and wiped his sweat and hands.
I washed the yellowish cloth towel in advance at night, and it suddenly turned black.
After cleaning it carefully, he frowned and sighed, rubbing his already sore waist.
A worker on the side joked: "Old Xiao, your son has already earned a hundred taels, why is he still doing such tiring work?"
"Now that you have time and can read and write, why don't you find a job as an accountant?"
Xiao Kang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Accounting is a very good job, but it is not easy to find. Strangers are not trustworthy, and there are so many poor scholars in the capital. How could he be a scholar who looks like an old farmer?
"What is one hundred taels enough for? My son is not married yet."
"Hey! Marry a fairy. One hundred taels is not enough to find a woman? My son didn't spend a few taels of silver to get married, and he already had two children. Don't have too high a vision. Even though you are a scholar, you are not like us. Pulling a cart here? How should I live my life?" the worker joked.
Xiao Kang said calmly: "My son's requirements are naturally higher. If he doesn't marry someone other than a lady, how can he be attracted to an ordinary woman?"
The co-workers suddenly felt despised!
Do you mean that my son is not as good as your son?
So he sneered and said: "That's right! It's only one hundred taels. Prices are rising fast now, so it may not be enough in the future. Unless your son writes another mysterious article in the future."
"By the way, Lao Xiao, what is the purpose of that Qi Flow article your son wrote?"
Xiao Kang's expression froze and he stopped talking.
What is it used for? Useless!
There were more than one or two people who made fun of him about this matter. Almost everywhere he worked, he was targeted because of his status as a scholar.
Everyone looks up to the scholar, but once the scholar falls into despair, everyone wants to step on him.
Xiao Kang had already learned to ignore this situation.
But teasing Menzi with his son would make him extremely uncomfortable every time.
"Let's go and take the car back."
The co-workers saw that he was slightly depressed, and there was a hint of 'victory' in his expression.
The two began to pack up the wooden cart and prepare to return.
After just two steps, a fat woman with heavy makeup ran towards the two of them with her teeth and claws open.
"Old Xiao! Old Xiao! There is a happy event in your family! Come home with me quickly?"
Xiao Kang was stunned for a while. The person coming was actually the matchmaker who had been pouring dirty water on him behind his back?
Any happy event? What kind of joy can there be in my family? Could it be that they are here to tease me?
Xiao Kang said warily: "What are you talking about? There should be no one in my house right now, how can this happy event come from?"
The matchmaker had a flattering smile on her face: "Really! Really! I won't lie to you. A high-ranking official has come to your family. I heard that he is from the palace. Do I still dare to lie to you?"
"Go and have a look!"
Come to the palace?
Xiao Kang froze on the spot, a little dazed for a moment...
