I engaged in modernization in ancient times

Zhenxi Palace.

Zhao Jingcheng was taking the textbook to his brother Zhao Jingxing to review his homework.

Zhao Jingcheng lowered his head on the desk and looked at his brother, "Brother, you didn't tell me sooner when you came back, or I will take you to eat little stupid chicken together today."

"Brother, you must tell me what you want to eat, no one knows our Liangjing's food better than me."

"Did you know? The businessmen from those countries don't want to leave now because of our delicious food."

"The benefits of our products haven't spread far and wide, but our delicacies, now it's passed on word of mouth, and its reputation spreads far and wide. If you come to Liangjing, if you don't eat it once, then it's nothing. They are now directing We call our commercial streets food streets, and we Liangjing people still call them commercial streets.”

His brother Zhao Jingxing doesn't have time to listen to him talking about food while wiping his saliva, he is looking at the textbook in his hand: "..."

I was stunned to react for a long time but did not respond.

It's because he stayed in Xihammer for a long time and didn't come back. Now Liangjing's schoolwork...has become so strange?

Anyway, he used to be famous in Liangjing for his excellent academic performance, but he just couldn't understand what was in the textbook.

I couldn't hold it back, I turned a page and pointed, "What is this?"

Zhao Jingcheng glanced at it and got excited, "Brother, if you ask others, they really don't know. We haven't learned this yet, but..."

"There is a guy named Fan Shen in our class. He was so proud of himself one day. In order to earn performance in front of the teacher, he secretly went to find Nan Yikai Xiaozao to learn the following content in advance. He wanted to be the first in our class. Hmph, I thought I was have no idea."

"How can I let him succeed? If he can ask Nan Yi to teach him the rest, so can I."

"Brother, your brother is no longer the brother you used to be. I am also a good student who loves learning now."

The mouth beeped so badly that it didn't stop.

Then he glanced at the pages of the book and said, "Odds change and evens remain the same, symbols look at the quadrant."

Zhao Jingxing: "..."

Zhao Jingcheng continued, "Brother, do you know Nan Yi? He is the direct student of our teacher. He has both civil and military skills. Since he showed his spring and autumn fingering skills in public, the reputation of Xiao Linjiang Immortal has been spread. "

"He has a strange little medicine box, which contains everything, except for some silver needles, there are set squares, rulers, compasses, which are very useful, and there is also a pen, which is so beautiful and delicate, usually Don't even lend us..."

Zhao Jingxing: "..."

Zhao Jingcheng got tired of talking, "Brother, I'll make you a cup of honey tea, tsk tsk, I cut it from the beehive yesterday, mother said I'm good at making tea now."

Zhao Jingxing: "..."

He even had a strange feeling, why couldn't he understand, could it be that his younger brother was still a buried genius with such great knowledge?

When Zhao Jingcheng came back after making honey tea, Zhao Jingxing asked casually, "What are you going to learn tomorrow?"

Zhao Jingcheng tilted his head, "Tomorrow we will make an appointment to go to the fields to touch snails."

Zhao Jingxing: "..."

Seems more careless than before?

……

Day two.

Mo Shaoheng took a group of people to touch the snails.

A group of students rolled up their trousers and jumped into the field.

Mo Shaoheng frowned, "Be careful, don't cut your feet."

A group of students had a small cage hanging from their waists, and they had touched it all over the field, and it looked like it was still there.

The rice in the field has been harvested, leaving some shallow piles.

"The snail doesn't seem to have grown up."

Mo Shaoheng took a look. It was already the size of a longan, and this kind of snail had grown so big. The kind of snail that could grow bigger needed to be raised again.

Zhao Jingcheng and Fan Shen were snorting, trying to figure out who could touch more.

Mo Shaoheng asked, "What happened to the two of them?"

Isn't the usual relationship quite harmonious?

"In the morning, Zhao Jingcheng saw that Fan Shen bought milk tea, so he ran to take a sip, and he drank it to the bottom."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

These two little masters are really good, the dignified young master of Liangjing can compete for a cup of milk tea.

Mo Shaoheng shook his head, in the future they will know how precious the friendship between classmates is.

The pastoral scenery has its own taste, especially it is quite interesting to experience it from time to time.

It's just that the weather is a little hotter.

Under the tree not far away, a temporary camp was built. If you feel that it is too hot, it is also good to go to the tent that has been set up to hide from the sun.

Not long after, Zhao Jingcheng and Fan Shen started hooking up again, "My brother came back last night, and my mother asked him to revise for me. My brother has a strange expression on his face."

Fan Shen blinked his eyes, "Every time I go to my grandfather to ask about my homework, he always looks at me strangely and tells me to fuck off. I don't think my grandfather likes me anymore. Before, he wanted to teach me. Woolen cloth."

Because the snails in the field are specially bred, there are a lot of them, so it didn't take long to touch them, and one person touched half of the cage.

Mo Shaoheng asked the rough envoy's mother-in-law to build a stove for a picnic, and then said, "I'll make you a stir-fried escargot today."

They came out to play today, and the picnic is one of the items, and they will see if the snails can be harvested by the way.

Now it seems that the street delicacy of stir-fried escargot is also ready to go on the market.

It's not far from Zhuangzi, so someone brought some water to wash the snails.

The cleaned snails look pretty good.

Where is the secret to stir-fried escargot?

One is reflected in a stir-fry, and the other is the sauce. It can be said that whether the taste of the stir-fried snail is good or not depends on whether the sauce is good or not.

It is worth mentioning that wok has become popular in Liangjing now.

Not to mention aristocratic families, even ordinary people, many of them have changed their stoves and bought woks.

This is inseparable from the rise of the cooking industry in the commercial street and the extensive use of soybean oil. The unique flavor of cooking is so popular.

It is impossible for the common people to go out to eat in restaurants every day. After a long time, they probably understand some tricks of cooking, so they simply arrange it by themselves.

In Liangjing City, every time it's time to cook, you can always hear the sound of cooking in the pot.

The snail that Mo Shaoheng is stir-frying now needs a hot pot and hot oil.

After pouring the washed and scalded snails into the pot, the oily smoke suddenly rose, and the atmosphere came immediately.

After stir-frying, you need to add some warm water to suffocate, and then collect the juice.

After it is out of the pot, it is a pot of delicious stir-fried snails.

A group of people looked at the steaming snails: "..."

But... how do you eat this?

All shells.

This has to use an artifact, a toothpick.

With a small and sharp toothpick, poke it inside and the meat will come out directly.

As soon as you put it in your mouth, the strong taste covers up the fishy smell, and the unique taste of the snail is mixed together. Although the meat is small, the taste is definitely the best food.

Suck the soup inside the shell again, the taste will be even more amazing.

At the beginning, a group of students still had the mentality of trying, but after eating carefully like Mo Shaoheng, their eyes lit up.

"This snail tastes so special."

"Obviously there is very little meat, why does it taste so delicious?"

Mo Shaoheng smiled, many foods are not judged by the amount of meat or less.

In addition, street food such as fried snails is more popular among young people.

A group of people couldn't stop eating with small mouths.

This is a group of young gentlemen, and the etiquette of eating is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. Even if they hold snails in one hand and toothpicks in the other, they look very gentle.

Don't have fun.

"If this is sold in our Liangjing, people who buy it will probably have to queue up for a long time."

"Our people in Liangjing will consume frequently now."

"Teacher, we are frying something, this pot is not enough for us."

Mo Shaoheng: "..."

Mo Shaoheng originally planned to play in the garden all day, but in the afternoon, a palace official from the palace suddenly came.

"Sage Jin Zhao, summon the young master to enter the palace immediately."

Mo Shaoheng was stunned, it turned out to be the sage Jin Zhao.

Once the saint Jin Zhao came out, even if he was lying on the bed or had died on the bed, he had to be carried to the saint to have a look.

Mo Shaoheng frowned, what is so urgent?

Don't dare to delay, just go outside.

Don't tell the accompanying team while walking, let them escort these students back to the city.

He must be one step ahead, and can't wait for these students to go back together.

The second is to let Zhuangzi touch the snails as soon as possible, and provide this new dish to the people of Liangjing.

Mo Shaoheng rode a fast horse.

When he entered the palace and arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, he was taken aback.

Since it was a golden call from a sage, it must be a very serious matter. Mo Shaoheng thought that the sage must have summoned the ministers to discuss it together.

In the end, there was only one saint.

Just as he was wondering, the sage said, "The spies in charge of contacting Nanli have received news that within a year, we will need the assistance of our Beiliang army."

Mo Shaoheng's eyes narrowed.

Although Mo Shaoheng knew about the secret discussion between the sage and Mr. Jiu Si about how to cooperate, he didn't know how to communicate and how to act.

After three years, there is finally news from Nanli.

The saint continued, "Situ Jiannan has firmly controlled one-third of Nanli's military power. Although it is only one-third, with the support of Gu Jiusi and Liu Guichen, his strength cannot be underestimated."

Mo Shaoheng nodded, "At that time, Jiu Sigong and Liu Guichen only need to ascend to the top and tell the truth about Sima Keyao's persecution and the fact that Sima Keyao was not dead, and Nanli will be in chaos."

"If there is another Nanyi who personally stamps the jade seal to beg for robbers, the prince who has lost his morality may not be able to get the full support of the rest of the people."

The jade seal was on Nan Yi's body, and the prince could not justifiably ascend the throne, one of which was that he did not pass on the national jade seal.

"This is also the time when people's hearts are the most unbalanced, and it is also the time when the prince is the weakest."

"Some of the people in Nanli may also mutiny."

"At this time, I sent troops from Beiliang to suppress the border and personally escort Nanyi back to Nanli. Whether they stop or not, I'm afraid it will be enough to make them burn out."

Let Nanli's people stand in line. With Sima Jiannan's army, Jiusi Gong Liu Guichen, and Beiliang's foreign aid, Nanli's idiots may not all stand up and do such disobedient things. Prince faction.

It has to be said that in the past, the prince was very powerful, and many officials chose to be neutral. Nan Yi was in an awkward situation, but the prince was eager for success, and thought that Nan Yi was dead, so he was the only one chosen by the royal family. To Sima Jiannan.

The saint nodded. This matter was already very secretive, so he only announced Mo Shaoheng who was closely related to this matter to come to discuss it.

Before the dust settles, there must be no news leaked.

At this time, the saint frowned, "But, there is a huge problem here."

"Although there is still a year before Jiu Sigong said, it is enough for us to send troops to Nanli border."

"But Nanli must be vigilant once he sends troops. After a long time, Sima Jiannan's military power may change."

There must not be enough troops on the border with Nanli. If there are not enough troops, they will not be able to threaten Prince Nanli, and they will not be able to let those neutral factions choose to stand on their side.

If the neutral faction who judged the situation chose Prince Nanli, it would be troublesome.

"It takes too long to deploy troops, and there may be changes unless there is a surprise."

Mo Shaoheng also frowned.

In other words, having to mobilize troops in the form of a surprise attack caught Nanli by surprise and left the neutral faction no time to think.

However, this is almost impossible.

In ancient times, unlike modern times, armies were transported by trains and cars, and countless people could be moved in a single stroke, and they could cross most of the country in a few days.

In ancient times, when marching, one had to rely on footsteps.

Such a large-scale deployment of troops, after a long time, Nanli will definitely find out.

Mo Shaoheng frowned, "It's not impossible."

"The march is difficult and time-consuming. The main reason is that the road is too difficult to walk."

"If I have a few good roads in Beiliang, I can also allow the army to move quickly and achieve the effect of surprise."

Mo Shaoheng raised his head and continued, "Besides, my Beiliang is focusing on business now. Merchants from various countries come to my Liangjing, and the caravans go climbing mountains and wading, which consumes a lot of extra energy and money. I want to develop business in Beiliang. It does need a few decent roads."

"If there is a convenient road, and the carriages and horses can run unimpeded, there will be more caravans coming to Beiliang."

This is a healthy development and the foundation of a business-heavy country.

The saint hesitated.

What Mo Shaoheng said, he naturally understands that most caravans rely on horse-drawn carriages for transportation, and they are very dependent on roads. If the roads are good, the caravans can take a few more horse-drawn carriages at a time and save time. naturally high.

Some stones are needed to build roads, especially roads that can be used by horse-drawn carriages.

Dirt roads are easy to collapse. Perhaps for a march, dirt roads are naturally possible, but they are not worth it, unless it is a trade road that can be used for a long time after repairing.

However, stones generally come from two places, one is transported near the river.

But there are too few stones like this in Beiliang, and transportation is difficult.

The second is to hit stones nearby.

But the difficulty is that hitting rocks is too labor-intensive.

Beiliang is building a canal, where did so much manpower and money come from.

Mo Shaoheng was also thinking about this question.

Road construction, in addition to stones, costs a lot of money.

In fact, with money, manpower is not a problem. As long as the wages are high, as long as the young men are not forcibly arrested, there is no need to worry about finding workers.

Generally speaking, there are only two problems, one is the materials for road construction, and the other is the money for recruiting workers.

In fact, Mo Shaoheng already has some ideas, but there is only one year, so it is really urgent.

Mo Shaoheng said, "I ask the sage to allow me to entrust the Ministry of Industry to me for a period of time, and perhaps all the current problems will be solved."

The saint was immediately stunned.

Even if Mo Shaoheng is a young teacher, but just borrow a Ministry of Industry?

This is afraid that everyone will be shocked.

The court has always performed its duties.

But this matter is not trivial, it is related to the ownership of the six places in Xunzhou.

After thinking for a while, he finally answered with one word, "Yun."

Mo Shaoheng is now a young master, so logically, he has to attend even the small court meeting.

Just like going to work, you have to clock in every day.

It's just the officials of the imperial court, being an official is the main job, and Mo Shaoheng seems to regard being an official as a side job, and doing business is the main job.

On the second day, at the court, there was a turmoil because of Mo Shaoheng's temporary leadership of the Ministry of Industry.

However, the emperor's dictatorship showed a slight advantage at this time.

All the officials can't refute the things decided by the saints. This has always been the style of the saints.

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, the key point is, why does Mo Shaoheng want a Ministry of Industry?

Confused, even more confused, because...Mo Shaoheng didn't even go to court, and went to the Ministry of Industry every day.

At the beginning, I just stayed in the Ministry of Industry all day.

Not long after, he took the people from the Ministry of Industry to run out of the city, leaving in the morning and returning at night.

Mo Shaoheng's group of students also carried a notebook every day, and followed behind, muttering something, "physics, chemistry, limestone, hydrogen helium lithium beryllium boron, carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine neon".

In the beginning, Mo Shaoheng just led people around outside Liangjing City, but slowly he walked farther and farther.

I only returned to Liangjing once in a few days.

There is no need to inquire, every time I return to Liangjing, there is a huge momentum, I can hear Mo Shaoheng's group of students rushing fast at the gate of the city, and they keep shouting, "My hot pot, my skewer Chuan, my ice cream, I'm finally back."

"What will we do if we leave Liangjing after this?"

This sentence expresses the hearts of the people of Liangjing, and even the businessmen who have been to Liangjing. Once they get used to life in Liangjing, it is simply... unbearable to go to other places.

The lifestyle in Liangjing is really comfortable.

Looking at them one by one, it's like coming back from the deep mountains and old forests.

Even the little peddler scratched his head when he saw it, "What's wrong? It seems...it seems like I haven't eaten for several days."

Not to mention, Mo Shaoheng really took people to the deep mountains and old forests.

In particular, some mines have been visited one by one recently.

On that day, it would be great to have something to eat, so don't mention what to eat.

This is why a group of students screamed as soon as they returned to Liangjing.

Mining factories are all the business of the imperial court, so there is not much hindrance for Mo Shaoheng to go to the deep mountain mining factory.

But it wasn't over yet. As soon as he came back, after a day of fun, he started running out of the city again.

The time interval between each return is extended.

In the past, the people in Liangjing knew about Mo Shaoheng taking students out for outdoor practical classes, but they had never seen such a rush.

This rush was not over until Mo Shaoheng came back with a cart of gray and white stones.

Zhao Jingcheng and the others wrote a lot of things densely in their notebooks.

No one can understand it. If it used to be, at least it was written in words, but now it has become some weird symbols, which are more profound than the talismans drawn by Taoist priests.

On the way, Mo Shaoheng took them to practice, and he happened to teach in his spare time, which made up for many intermittent courses.

Because only mathematics, physics and chemistry are taught, there are no other messy courses to interfere, and the progress is not bad.

After returning to Liangjing with a cart full of stones, Mo Shaoheng and this group of students only lived in the Ministry of Industry.

It didn't take much time this time, a group of students reappeared on the streets of Liangjing.

They all donned custom-made little armor and led teams... on patrol.

Their official position is now Liangjing Team Wu, and their duty is to guard the order of Liangjing.

The person is not big, but he leads the team. He is small, not to mention attracting attention. Sometimes he passes by the advertising team led by Douzi, staring at him, which is very interesting.

Some familiar people will ask what they are doing recently, making them mysterious.

They also only answered that they were doing great things.

The expression is somewhat excited.

Because, their teacher said, let them play happily for a few days, and then they will be taken to the Golden Palace again.

And Mo Shaoheng, with his people, sealed off half of the roads outside Liangjing City. Traveling will inevitably be a bit troublesome, but at least half of the roads are still left, and with the seal from the Ministry of Industry, no one dared to say at first What.

But over time, some problems will naturally arise.

For example, Liangjing Wind Direction Officer, several books have been referenced by Mo Shaoheng to disturb the people.

Of course, the participants were not only Mo Shaoheng, but also people from the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is now in charge of Mo Shaoheng, and the former Minister of the Ministry of Industry should have some complaints.

But... No, Minister of the Ministry of Industry is very happy now, and runs to the road outside the city every day.

As for the report from the wind direction officer, neither Mo Shaoheng nor the people from the Ministry of Industry paid any attention to it.

This is too outrageous.

The wind direction officials of the imperial court are a very special kind of existence. Their official positions may not be high, but they are the mouthpiece between the market and the imperial court.

Feng Xiangguan's excerpts are a manifestation of public opinion, and they have always inspired the whole body.

Mo Shaoheng and the Ministry of Industry, are they ignoring public opinion?

Even the undercurrent has begun to surge. Don't think that Mo Shaoheng has no political opponents now, even if it is just because he and Zhao Di are married, those who deal with Zhao Di will deal with him, and even use him as a breakthrough to deal with Zhao Di .

However, before the dark tide brewed, Mo Shaoheng directly led a group of students to stand on the golden hall.

This time, not only a group of students were so excited that their faces could not help but smile like chrysanthemums, even the people from the Ministry of Industry couldn't hold back their faces, showing excited expressions.

Manchu civil and military: "..."

What's going on here?

No matter how you look at it, it's a little unreasonable?

These days, it is said that Shen and their papers are piled up very high. If the saint hadn't suppressed them, I'm afraid they would have been punished.

Mo Shaoheng went out directly, "Sage, Mo Shaoheng is temporarily in charge of the Ministry of Industry, and he has come to return to the Ministry of Industry."

There was silence.

After tossing and tossing for so long, they haven't figured out why, so they just finished it?

Also, Mo Shaoheng brought his group of students to the Golden Palace. According to the usual practice, it might not be that simple.

Sure enough, after Mo Shaoheng finished speaking, he continued, "Saint, I have this performance." '
