The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Emperor Hongzhi's face darkened: "Do you really think I'm praising you? You didn't discuss such a big thing with me."

Yan Chengjin knelt on the ground, a little frightened by his majesty's roar.

There is scientific evidence that when people are angry, whatever you say will be considered as quibbling.

Your majesty is a generous person. The most serious consequence is just a few injuries. The gold medal of immunity from death will definitely not be used.

Cheng Minzheng's stay in Korea can bring huge benefits, and this wave is not a loss.

Li Dongyang sighed several times in succession: "Your majesty, Lord Yan is also thinking about the court."

Emperor Hongzhi whispered: "If I don't punish you this time, it will be difficult to explain to the officials. Let's do this. I will take back a gold medal."

Xiao Jing came down with a tray, and Yan Chengjin took out a piece from his waist and put it on the tray.

Spend money to avoid disaster?

Liu Jian remembered that he had three pieces, and this punishment was too light.

Your majesty said punishment, but he still favored this boy in his heart.

However, he and Xie Qian saw through it, but did not expose it.

Yan Chengjin looked at Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, will you issue an edict to allow Cheng Minzheng to be the national teacher of Korea?"

As long as the imperial edict is brought back to Korea and Queen Dowager Cishun reads it, Cheng Minzheng's position will be more stable.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and thought about it. It would also be good for the Ming Dynasty if Korea attacked Jianzhou.

So he ordered the people in the imperial study to draft the edict.

After a while,

Yan Chengjin and Han Shimen left the palace together. When they arrived outside the Meridian Gate, Han Shimen said: "Your Excellency does not hold a high position in the court, but you are trusted by Your Majesty. I really admire you."

"Are you going to Liangxiang to find Widow Liu? I heard that she is not setting up a stall there anymore."

Han Shimen was anxious. He came here this time to bring her back to Korea to enjoy wealth and glory.

"Does your Excellency know her whereabouts?"

"Her new stall is in the School of Science."

...

Liangxiang, the Chuanshi School of Science.

The door was opened to admit students. Wang Yue found a band to play music and sing at the entrance of the school. It was so lively.

There is no charge for attending the class, but in order to avoid people coming just for the fun, the seats would be wasted.

Wang Yue specifically ordered the gatekeepers not to let in the peddlers who were just joining in the fun.

There are more than 2,000 students studying science from all over the world, and there are still people coming one after another, so the School of Science seems a bit crowded.

Zhang Xian looked at Song Jing honestly: "This first class will be taught by Master Song?"

"I don't dare to accept it, let Lord Wang come."

Wang Yue showed a smile that a young man can be taught, and said without hesitation: "I am the dean, so let me come."

Yan Chengjin came to Liangxiang, and there was a lot of traffic. Liangxiang has just stepped on the right track.

Academy and commerce have just appeared, and it is still a long way from the goal of the Ming Dynasty's righteous bird.

Refugees still live in the straw hut area and tighten their belts every day.

A spoonful of rice is shaken again and again before it dares to be put into the pot.

Song Jing and Xie Pi and others served as teachers and taught in different teaching houses.

"Isn't it good for me to be the dean?" Wang Yue said proudly. He had been a civil official and a military commander in his life, but he didn't expect to be the dean of a college in his later years.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Yan Chengjin said.

Wang Yue knew that this kid would not come to Liangxiang for nothing: "What are you doing in Liangxiang, my nephew?"

Yan Chengjin pulled out a book and a paper from his sleeve and said, "This is biology, a new subject in science. Lord Wang, see if anyone can understand it.

If there is, you can be promoted to an engineer by passing this test paper."

The things mentioned here are disorganized, and they are just superficial knowledge, more like common sense.

Someone needs to open up this field.

"Only one test paper?"

Wang Yue was puzzled. It is not easy to pass the science engineer exam.

Mathematics, physics and chemistry, at least three papers are required.

Yan Chengjin nodded.

Soon, a notice was posted at the door of Chuanshi Science College.

Liangxiang was boiling. As long as you pass one subject, you can become an engineer.

Who wouldn't want to be an engineer in Liangxiang? No need to work in the fields, guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood, sitting in the shipyard and drinking tea every month, you can get three taels of silver.

More importantly, being an engineer is a glorious thing.

When he walked through the workshop with his hands behind his back, the refugees would greet him as if he were a high-ranking official.

Suddenly, biology became the most popular subject among all subjects, because there was only one subject for examination.

The clerks and refugee children all ran to the library to find books to read.

"Why does this look like a medical book?"

"It also writes about the law of the strong, is it a veterinarian?"

"Veterinarians are veterinarians, and they get three taels of silver every month!"

The clerks' children were ecstatic. They knew more words than the refugee children, and it seemed that there was no obstacle at all, but they didn't quite understand it.

Yan Chengjin stood next to the notice and said that biology was a veterinary subject, which was too one-sided.

In the Ming Dynasty, it could be derived into many subjects, but with the limited understanding of the ancients, veterinary medicine was still very appropriate.

Wang Ji had heard of Liangxiang for a long time, but this was his first time to visit Liangxiang. Standing under the list, he felt a little envious.

"I will appoint you as the chief engineer of Liangxiang, right?"

Wang Ji couldn't help laughing: "Sir, don't joke with me. The chief engineer of Liangxiang needs to go through many exams. I heard that it was done by the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce, and it was not appointed by the court."

This was the news to the outside world. Wang Ji could hear the news, just like ordinary people.

Yan Chengjin said: "There are two ways to become an engineer in Liangxiang.

One is to pass the exam of the Chamber of Commerce.

The other is to go through this official's back door."

Wang Ji still didn't believe that Liangxiang Science College had any relationship with the court.

To be precise, what does it have to do with Yan Chengjin?

Once you become the chief engineer, you will receive one hundred taels of silver per month.

That’s one hundred taels of silver!

With just one year's salary, you can buy an empty house with two entrances and two exits in the capital.

Definitely the highest salary in Ming Dynasty.

Where to work? Who would spend a hundred taels of silver to hire a worker?

The Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce is so generous, and there is no place like this in the world.

Early the next morning,

Liangxiang is in a state of excitement. The bioengineer examination announcement was just posted yesterday, and today there is even more explosive news!

The subordinate officials and the children of the refugees stared blankly at the announcement posted on the door of the School of Science.

At this time, the people were also looking at the announcement from the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce with dull eyes.

They looked at the words on the red list in disbelief.

There were only a few words, but they were like a huge stone breaking into my chest, making my heart hurt.

Liangxiang has another chief engineer!

Wang Ji!

They wiped their eyes. There are no science exams recently? !

"Is there anyone like Master Song in the world?"

"The ancestral graves are well buried! Just one month's wages are enough for us common people to work for a lifetime."

"It's not just one hundred taels. If you live until you are old, you will receive it until you are old. After one year, it will be one thousand two hundred taels."

People who look at the rankings cry like ghosts and howl like wolves, and they hate why they are not themselves.

There were cries at the gates of Chuanshi Science College, the Yamen, and the shipyard.

What shocked them the most was that they had never heard of this person's name.

It's like a piece of pie falling from the sky and hitting someone else on the head.

This announcement was posted not only in the Liangxiang shipyard, but also in the government offices.

It is also stamped with the seal of Liangxiang Yamen and the Chamber of Commerce, so it must be true!

Xie Pi was shocked and a little unconvinced when he saw the list. He had always dreamed of becoming the chief engineer of Liangxiang.

Now a person appears for no reason, haven’t you heard his name yet?

"Chief Engineer Xiao Song, who is this chief engineer?"

The engineers all looked over, envious and a little jealous.

Song Jing shook his head: "I haven't heard of it either. Since it was an announcement from the Yamen, it must be true."

Under the list of Liangxiang College of Science, Wang Ji stepped forward to join in the fun and took a look at the list.

Suddenly, his eyes were as big as bells, his lips were slightly opened, and he fell over with a thud.

"Hey, I fainted from envy again. Let's carry him away."
