The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The streets and alleys and mansions of Liangxiang are all discussing this matter.

I was so envious that I wished I could hit my head against a pillar and die and be reincarnated as a human being.

The biology department has just been posted, and today a chief biological engineer dropped out of thin air.

It seemed like it was destined.

One year is one thousand taels of silver.

A businessman with a moderate status like Xie Yu dare not say that he can make a guaranteed profit of one thousand two hundred taels a year.

When the market is good, there may be a glimmer of opportunity, but it is only a glimmer.

Zhang Xian and Xie Yu knew the truth. This engineer was appointed by Yan Chengjin.

Yesterday, when Zhang Xian was about to leave for duty, Yan Chengjin walked into the government office and asked him to issue a notice appointing a chief engineer.

Afraid that he would write his name wrong, Yan Chengjin deliberately wrote his name on the paper.

Zhang Xian had never met this person, let alone knew what he did.

Naturally, he did not dare to neglect the people appointed by Master Yan himself, so early in the morning, he sent someone to post the list.

Xie Yu looked confused and envious, stamping the seal of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce like a zombie.

He took the exam twice before becoming an engineer in Liangxiang, which was still the lowest level.

This man turned out to be the chief engineer of Liangxiang.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

This is life.

"Engineer Xiao Wang, I know you're awake. Get up quickly." Zhang Xian saw Wang Ji's eyelids visibly twitching.

Wang Ji opened his eyes slightly and saw a circle of people surrounding him, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sir, where is the student?"

Zhang Xian said seriously: "The Yamen of Liangxiang."

"Congratulations, I will call you Chief Engineer Wang from now on." Xie Yu congratulated while wiping away tears.

Song Jing bowed slightly to him: "Brother Wang, from now on you will be the chief biological engineer of the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce. Please take care of yourself."

Xie Pi looked at Wang Ji enviously, and other engineers stood in a row with equally envious eyes.

"Hello, Chief Engineer Wang! We are all engineers from Liangxiang. I would like to ask Chief Engineer Wang for your advice in the future."

Wang Ji never expected that when he woke up, he would become the second chief engineer of Liangxiang.

He burst out laughing. This must be a dream. He would sleep for a while and wake up soon.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Wang Ji lay down again, pulled up the quilt and covered it up to his neck, showing a satisfied smile.

"Sir, this..."

Song Jing and Zhang Xian looked at each other and saw the confusion in their eyes.

Xie Yu can understand this feeling.

When he became the president of the Liangxiang Guild, he felt it was unreal and even asked someone to slap him.

"Let me do it."

Xie Yu rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward, and slapped Wang Ji on the face. It was so refreshing!

Wang Ji sat up suddenly and looked at the people in the room.

"Commander Wang, get up. This is one month's wages. I'll collect it for you. Remember to collect next month's wages yourself."

Zhang Xian took the tray, put the silver into his purse, and handed it to Wang Ji.

Wang Ji suddenly took over the money bag and received one hundred taels of silver every month, which was enough to provide free clinics for a lifetime.

He was sure of one thing. He had really become the second chief engineer of Liangxiang?

Before coming to the capital, he was just a rural person in Qimen County. He had been doing odd jobs in his father's medical clinic since he was a child.

There is no future in studying medicine.

At least in the eyes of the gentry and wealthy people, he was a poor doctor.

Only gaining fame and honor is a matter of honoring one's ancestors.

He took the exam twice and failed before studying medicine with his father, thinking that he would have no future in this life.

Never would he have thought that such great luck would be waiting for him.

Wang Ji looked a little ashamed: "I'm afraid... the student is not qualified. The student knows nothing about biology. He only heard of the word biology yesterday. It is really worthy of the student to be the chief engineer.

Moreover, students cannot stay in the capital for a long time. Now they are writing a medical book and need to travel all over the world to find diseases. "

After hearing this, Xie Pi and others finally got some understanding of Wang Ji, and it turned out that he was a young doctor.

The chief engineer of Liangxiang is not a big cabbage. How many people are hanging beams and thorns just for the lowest engineer.

The chief engineer was rejected in one sentence.

Somewhat reckless.

But if we take Song Jing as an example, the chief engineer not only has to do research and guidance in the shipyard, but also gives lectures in the School of Science.

If you want to travel all over the world to practice medicine, I'm afraid you can't be a chief engineer, right?

Zhang Xian said without changing his expression: "These officials all know that the Chamber of Commerce will treat you extra, so Mr. Wang can accept it with confidence."

Xie Pi and others were dumbfounded, as if they were begging for nothing.

When did the chief engineer they thought about day and night become so worthless...

After several rejections, Wang Ji fearfully accepted the money bag and followed Song Jing around the shipyard and research center.

Finally, I went to the School of Science.

"Brother Yixian, to be honest, I really can't understand why I became the chief engineer for no reason." Wang Ji sighed.

Song Jingdao: "I think it should be Master Yan. You must have something that ordinary people can't reach, so Master Yan will choose you."

Master Yan is the person he trusts most. He has never cheated him since he came to the capital.

He also taught him many moral principles to guard against Chang Ning Bo.

Therefore, Song Jing trusted him very much.

Wang Ji was slightly surprised: "Master Yan mentioned it to me before, but unexpectedly, it is true."

The more millions of people want it, the more he deserves it.

Now that I think about it, I understand that it must be because of his medical skills.

"Students will definitely live up to adults' high expectations."

He bowed to Zhang Xian.

When leaving Liangxiang, Wang Ji took a biology book with him, intending to study it carefully when he was traveling as a doctor.

The people of Liangxiang and the children of clerks wanted to meet the newly appointed chief engineer, but they never saw him.

The biology exam started as scheduled, and was organized by Wang Yue.

After the construction of Chuanshi Science College, the exam venue was moved from the original open-air shipyard square to the teaching building.

Wang Yue's invigilation was stricter than Zhang Xian and Song Jing.

Anyone who looked around would be given a warning, and the third time would not do it.

The speed of posting the list was very fast, and only two people passed the engineer exam, setting a record low in Liangxiang.

One was a traveling doctor from the northwest, and the other was a doctor from Guangdong.

The ancestors of both of them had some relationship with medicine for generations.

The children of clerks and refugees soon realized that it seemed easy to take only one subject.

Without medical skills, they would definitely not pass the exam.

So they gave up biology and went back to study other courses.

…

In late October, the weather was sunny and slightly chilly.

Zhu Houzhao’s injury had healed, and he happily came out of the palace and ran to Lao Wang’s bookstore.

“Quick, help me print these comics.”

Wang Bushui asked tentatively: “How much silver does your highness want to print?”

Zhu Houzhao was angry: “Does printing books require silver? Why doesn’t Lao Gao print without silver?”

How can they be the same? Master Yan can earn money from the books he prints, and the cost of printing books is included in it.

Wang Bushui knew Zhu Houzhao’s temper, so he simply paid out of his own pocket to keep things quiet, and he could also please the crown prince.

“I will print it for your highness, how many copies do you want to print?”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and said happily: “Let’s print 10,000 copies first, use copper seals, and use the best paper, so that it can be printed clearly.”

Wang Bushui almost fainted.

Copper seals are engraved on copper, and one page of paper needs to be engraved on a copper plate. This book has more than 200 pages, right?

Copper is used for coinage, and it takes more than 200 copper plates. He has to go bankrupt to afford it.

"I... I need to ask Lord Yan first."

Half an hour later, at Yan's Mansion.

Yan Chengjin said, "Your Majesty has issued a ban, no more cartoons are allowed."

Zhu Houzhao once again used his divine logic: "Father said no drawing, but he didn't say no printing, so it won't violate Father's ban."

Wang Bushui was in a dilemma and looked at Yan Chengjin: "Master, should we print it or not?"

Yan Chengjin was ecstatic and said, "Since the prince is forcing us, then let's print it."

For some reason, Zhu Houzhao had a vague feeling that he was going to be cheated.
