From Chief to Ball

"I see how many children here seem to be poor and helpless?"

"Yes. As long as the families are far away and the rural schools are not enough, they will gather here to start education. The charity business company and the county will each contribute a part of the money to ensure that these children eat and use on weekdays. Although there is no meat, at least they can eat enough. .”

"Then where do you live?"

"The merchants have also arranged accommodation for them. During the ten-day break or after school, sometimes they do some chores such as sweeping chimneys, sticking coal powder, peeling and chopping fish. You can also get a few copper coins."

There are some things that the official of the school did not say, for example, a child got stuck in the chimney while sweeping a few days ago, and the outside didn't know it, and he was roasted to death.But even if it’s nothing to say, the officials who want to come to the evaluation will sigh and then they should eat and drink. Since a large amount of coal is used as fuel, there are hundreds of children who die on it every year.

For many places, it is not an exaggeration to say that this school is a paradise.

After walking around the school, everyone left the school again and went to the poor house and the nursing home in Nan'an. There was a couplet written on the gate, and the inscription below was the county magistrate He Yuanshan.

"Little children."

The evaluation officials couldn't help but read it out, savoring the winning streak praises carefully.Although the people inside didn't say that they had yellow hair and hanging hair, they were happy and happy, but they seemed to be doing well, at least they could survive without starving to death.

As for the street, the merchants who are transshipping, the carriages transporting glass, and the laborers carrying coal and stones are in a hurry.

In the final assessment, all officials in Nan'an basically got a high rating.Whether it is taxation, moral education, enlightenment, shops, etc., it is much better than in the past.

With the glass industry and soy sauce industry in Mincheng taking root in Nan'an, a large number of upstream and downstream workshops have been driven.

The glass factory pays taxes here, and the people who transport to and from it stop here.In addition, Chen Jian organized some idle labor and set up a special construction team. He not only built a school, but also tried to build a brick building for a trading company in Mincheng. In the future, he may also build roads.

Nan'an attracted a lot of wealth, which was forwarded through Chen Jian's hands, and then drove the local shops, shops, food and other industries, and it seemed that there was indeed a bit of prosperity.

This prosperity was predicated on the employment of large numbers of laborers, and it would continue as the glass factories gradually monopolized the sale of glass along the coast.

Therefore, today's Nan'an County is somewhat inseparable from Chen Jian.A few workshops, plus supporting wood, construction, transportation and ore use, as a whole, it is the life of hundreds or even thousands of hired workers.

It can be said that once Chen Jian's workshop closes down or moves away, some officials will not get some annual bribes, and there will be a horrible scene where hundreds of people have nothing to do.

Therefore, shortly after the evaluation officials left Nan'an County, the county council nominated Chen Jian as a member of the county council.

This time it can be said that everyone expected it, and most of the voters agreed. In fact, it was equivalent to Chen Jian spending some money to buy this seat.

As for those objections, such as the parents of the child who was roasted to death by the chimney, they didn't even have the right to vote, so they were naturally drowned in everyone's forgetfulness.

Some people even criticized the parents: If it weren't for Chen Shanren, how could it be so easy for our children to enter the Kaimeng School?Just make another one as hard as you can.

Chapter 76 Mincheng Autumn and Winter, Miscellaneous Notes of the Capital (End)

These are the miscellaneous things about Fujian city in autumn and winter that are related to Chen Jian.

There is no snow in Mincheng in winter, and there is snow in the capital city in winter, but the presence or absence of snow does not affect the passage of time.Since the same language is spoken and the same calendar is used, all kinds of things that happened in Mincheng are staged in the capital in different forms. The autumn and winter in Mincheng are also the autumn and winter in the capital.

Many things also happened in the autumn and winter in the capital, such as stealing, robbery, cheating, abduction and theft.A few people had just been hanged in the slums to the west, and it didn't affect the young people in the rich and noble areas to the east who were discussing what happened this year.

Next year will be the year of the competition, which is a very important festival in China.

Even the country of Qi, which is lonely overseas, will send people to participate in the grand meeting that is held every few years. The two sides have not fought for the time being and some cutscenes always have to go.

All kinds of bets have been opened early, no matter how poor or poor, this is a day worth looking forward to.

Various tabloids are circulated in the market, most of which are lace, advertisements and other things, these are the ones that sell the most, and the most in them are things about the competition.

And tabloids such as some debates and ideas are only circulated in a small circle.Although the sales volume is not high, some young people who have no worries about food and clothing like to read very much. When talking, a few new words burst out from time to time, such as molecular atomic contract and so on.

These tabloids, whose audience is mainly handicraft citizens and above, published a special advertisement in the autumn, in the name of many gentlemen from the Academy, soliciting the best craftsmen in the entire capital.

As a reward of a thousand silver coins, he asked to make a fine balance.If you can do it more precisely than required to a certain extent, you can reward 1.

On the one hand, the name behind this advertisement is too famous, and people absolutely believe that these people will not lie; on the other hand, the requirement of rewarding a balance of one thousand silver coins does not sound so unnatural, so many craftsmen have some thoughts.

A thousand silver coins is a huge amount of money for many craftsmen, a huge amount of money that can change the trajectory of life.With heavy rewards, there must be a brave man. Many craftsmen are busy thinking about this balance that is strict but not out of reach after finishing their daytime work.

As for the requirement of rewarding 1 silver coins, it sounds really difficult.Some craftsmen have simple minds. If they make the former one first and then the latter, they will get 1 more for nothing.

As for what this balance is for, the craftsmen don't know, anyway, it's enough to make money.

And for those who know what this balance is for, their daily life does not revolve around this balance that they don't know when it will be made.

After Li Yun returned to the capital, Mr. Mu and his disciples cheered for a while around the strange and practical glassware, and carefully studied the various specifications of the experiment, and Mr. Mu wailed with emotion.

If he had had these norms and these practical utensils when he was young, as well as the blood lessons he learned in the "workshop", he would not have acidosis and chronic arsenic poisoning now.

But after thinking about it, Mr. Mu felt that there were some things, if he hadn't tasted it himself, he really didn't know what it tasted like or whether it was poisonous.

This is probably how human beings have progressed little by little. There are countless lives behind each label of highly poisonous.

After lamenting these things, Mr. Mu and his disciples went to the agronomy class, and worked with them to do another long-term experiment.

Autumn is the season for sowing wheat, and two carefully selected experimental fields were planted with wheat.One was sprayed with three kinds of fertilizers, and the other was not sprayed with fertilizers.

In the house outside the land, several pots of plants were planted in special flower pots.The sand used in the flower pots has been carefully washed dozens of times with water to ensure that there is no trace of soil.

The plants in these flower pots are watered differently according to the number, some are directly spring water, some are added with one type of fertilizer, some are with two types, and some are with three types.

Fertilization can affect plant growth, which is well known in agricultural colleges.But what exactly in the fertilizer is supporting the growth of these plants is not just a matter of agriculture.

Especially with the opening of the particle theory, some people in the agricultural sciences also began to believe that everything in the world is composed of tiny particles, so what are these particles?What's in the manure that promotes plant growth?

When Mr. Mu Lao proposed to do this experiment, the teachers of the agricultural department were very happy, because they knew that the experimental chemistry could be done by themselves, but they asked themselves to do it together, which means that the results are shared by both parties. It is also necessary for the Department of Agriculture to endorse the microparticle theory of Mr. Mu's disciples.

The two sides hit it off, and the autumn sowing began to grow, and the wheat will not mature until next year's Huaizi Festival.

But before the winter frost came, the conclusion was already obvious.The wheat grown with chemical fertilizers grew well, while the wheat grown in sandy soil did badly.

As for the plants planted in flower pots, it shows the effect of various fertilizers.Some leaves are like black and half emerald green, some are dry yellow, some flowers bloom immediately, and some flowers last for a long time after blooming...

The experiment under this kind of comparison can explain the problem very well, and there may be some shortcomings in it, such as not using distilled water, but in terms of today's experimental requirements, all this can already explain the problem.

Now the two sides are getting very close, and have even begun to write the speculation and principles after the experiment, but the news has not been announced to the public for the time being.

People on both sides believe that once this news is made public, it will cause a shock no less than last year's theory of chemical particles, and this will really be famous for thousands of years: if the yield per mu can reach several hundred catties, if these Fertilizers can be synthesized chemically, so will there still be people who can't eat?

Those involved all believe that they will change the world. This is the ultimate dream of the hall of saints, which is higher and purer than understanding and explaining the world.

They feel that since the minerals in the world are also composed of particles, there must be a kind of ore that contains phosphorus like bone ash.As long as this kind of ore is found, as long as Chen Jian discloses the method of making concentrated acid and the method of making this kind of fertilizer, it can replace the increasingly scarce struvite.

As for the other kind that can make plants grow luxuriantly, just use those glass bottles and try to analyze what is inside.It's like finally finding the direction and determining the direction. Although I don't know how far the destination is, I can continue to move forward along this road.

Up to now, the people who are looking forward to Chen Jian's going to the capital are not only the seniors, sisters and husbands of the chemistry department, but also people from other disciplines. It seems that the independent disciplines in the past are about to be broken.

In addition to these people, there are many people who are looking forward to Chen Jian going to the capital.Where there is support, there is opposition. The debate between the two sides is going on every day. As the saying goes, the truth is getting clearer and clearer. What's more, Li Yun brought back a lot of new utensils and new ways of thinking, and those opponents are retreating steadily. .

There are also some people who don't know much about it, they will come to the academy to ask this and that, which makes Mr. Mu tireless, and sometimes yells.
