According to Ren Yu from the workshop, the building has been completed for many days, and it is time to go over and inspect it.
All aspects of this project are fully handled by the people in the workshop. There is no single contractor, which means there is no chance of cutting corners. The so-called acceptance is just a formality.
Unlike government schools and colleges, this institution is a confidential place of the government and cannot be publicly revealed.
All future research will come from here.
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
"See you, your lord!" Seeing the sudden arrival of the Qi magistrate, several government officials on guard with muskets on their backs ran over to salute.
"Well, no courtesy!" Qi Yu nodded to them and said kindly.
Taking this opportunity, he took a special look at the guns. Well, they were improved versions of flintlocks, not bad!
This is a confidential place, so he specially sent musketeers to stand guard on duty. It also stipulates that no one is allowed to enter without the prefect's handwriting.
However, there are three people who are not included.
who?
as follows:
The first person is Mr. Mahan, the 'senior engineer'. Since he is currently the main developer of the military industry, he has the privilege of entering and exiting here.
The second is the old kiln master Ding Liuzhi. He is mainly responsible for various small kiln experiments, such as: burning bricks, burning tiles, burning cement, burning glass, etc. He also has the right to enter and exit.
The third one is Qi Xiaotong. After much hard work, she finally asked her father for a privilege. As long as there is an experiment here, she will immediately come over to observe. It's a pity that her talent in science is average, otherwise, she would definitely have learned a lot.
Qi Yu walked around the research institute with his hands behind his back, looking and nodding.
This is a complex of buildings that occupies a large area. Although it is nominally called a research institute, it is actually divided into more than ten independent buildings. Each building is separated by walls. It looks a bit like A large industrial park for rent.
According to Qi Yu's plan, this place will be divided into many different areas in the future, such as: military industry, general industry, medicine, agriculture, etc.
In the future, elites from the Polytechnic will come here one after another, and they will definitely promote the research, development and progress of science and technology with their tireless spirit of exploration.
If you want to see a wonderful performance, you must be equipped with a good stage, and this institute is prepared for those actors.
Being able to prepare for a rainy day is already a great effort.
Speaking of which, I would also like to thank the three windfalls I got. If it weren't for the fact that these things weighed down the bottom of the box,
How dare I take such a big step?
Which three are they?
First of all, the silver obtained from the banquet, although only one hundred thousand taels, greatly alleviated Qiongzhou's urgent financial needs at that time.
Then there was the big treasure ship that Xiaotong hijacked. Although it was mostly cargo, it also got a lot of money in exchange.
There is also King Yong's small treasury. Without this brother's generous help, he would not dare to be so lavish.
As the saying goes, a man will not be rich without a windfall, and a horse will not be fat unless it eats night grass. This sentence makes sense.
Develop independently on your own ability?
That's okay, but at least you have to work hard for five more years. You only have a few decades in your life. If you can save money, how can you dare to squander it?
Just as Qi Yu was amusing himself and thinking randomly, Xiaotong's voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Daddy!"
"Oh...huh?"
The little girl is here too?
Qi Yu raised his head and looked around, but he stayed there. As if involuntarily, two lines of tears of surprise and joy flowed down his cheeks.
But in front of him, he saw an old man with white hair standing with his hands behind his hands. His face was full of vicissitudes of life, and he was looking at him kindly and sadly.
"gentlemen!"
After exclaiming, Qi Yu hurriedly ran over, and then bowed and paid homage. His excitement was beyond words.
Yes, this person is his teacher Meng Lanshan.
"Haha, get up quickly!"
"yes!"
"..."
After looking at him for a while, Meng Lanshan sighed softly and said, "Shaocheng, you have finally made a difference, I am so relieved!"
Qi Yu bowed again and said hurriedly: "The students who are today are all thanks to Mr. Chun Chun's teachings, especially in the way of life. I feel that they have benefited me throughout my life."
"I only gave you a little guidance at the beginning. Whether you can learn Samadhi depends on your own understanding and luck. From now on, it seems to be pretty good." Meng Lanshan smiled happily.
"..."
Then, the master and apprentice started talking.
After inquiry, we learned that Mr. Wenzhu actually returned to Qiongzhou Fucheng yesterday. Seeing that his beloved disciple Qi Yu was busy promoting culture and education, he asked Xiaotong not to tell him about his return until he had finished all these things. Afterwards, it’s not too late to reminisce about the past.
By the way, he also wanted to observe in secret to see if the disciple he had accepted had improved compared to before.
Judging from the results, it’s barely okay.
reluctantly?
Yes, Meng Lanshan felt that Qi Xiaotong, his disciple and granddaughter, was the most promising and the best among people.
You see, she is only a little older, but she dares to go deep into the land of Dawan and pull herself back from the door of hell.
Women will not give way to men!
Seeing his husband constantly praising his daughter, Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: As the saying goes, there is often a phenomenon of separated generations in the family. Unexpectedly, the same is true for the elders in the master's sect.
As for why the two of them came to the research institute, Qi Yu thought about it briefly and guessed it.
Needless to say, Xiaotong must have wanted to show off, so she dragged Grand Master here to visit.
Therefore, Qi Yu glared at her angrily and funny, and said: Really, why don't you repay yourself earlier?
"Shaocheng guessed wrong." Meng Lanshan first caressed Xiaotong's head lovingly, and then said: "I was the one who suggested it and wanted to come over and have a look. I heard that there is some kind of medicine set up here. The research place aroused curiosity. Not to mention, it is really clean and spotless. Especially the utensils used for drug processing are very convenient to use..."
My husband is a famous doctor in the world. It is reasonable for him to pay special attention to these things.
However, what he said was not comprehensive enough. Medical research is far more than just concocting drugs, and there are other aspects of exploration as well. However, if you want to make a breakthrough, it may take several generations of unremitting efforts.
After chatting for a while, Qi Yu looked at the sky and said, "It's already past noon, let's go home and have dinner."
"That's fine!" Meng Lanshan didn't refuse and readily agreed.
…
Half an hour later, in the official residence of Qiongzhou Prefecture, the Qi family held a banquet for guests.
At this time, many people have learned that the prefect’s mentor, Mr. Wenzhu, has returned.
Since it is a big banquet, it is natural to have good wine and food on the table. For this reason, the Shi brothers came to the government office to cook the delicacies on the spot to ensure that they were fresh and not cold.
The array of accompanying guests is not small, they are all big shots with high status.
In addition to Qi Yu who was sitting in the main escort office, there were also Peng Wenchang and Liufang Jingcheng who were in the deputy escort office. However, people with connections like Hai Dafu didn't even get a seat in line.
As for the big businessmen who came to congratulate them after hearing the news, they finally had to go back to their homes to eat.
There's nothing I can do, I really can't sit still.
After the banquet, Qi Yu invited Meng Lanshan to serve tea in the study. The master and apprentice, who had been separated for a long time, could finally have a heart-to-heart talk alone.
