Despite this abnormal situation, no one dared to say anything wrong, because even so, it was considered to have opened up avenues for these children from poor families.
Otherwise, if one cannot even be pessimistic about entering the court, what else can one talk about? Only by stepping into the officialdom can some things have a chance to change; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.
Within the Great Mae Dynasty, there were many who rose from humble beginnings to higher positions, and it was precisely because of this that many students tacitly accepted this.
Upon arriving in the capital, Zhang Zihe went directly to the Examination Hall, which was accommodation prepared for students. Of course, if one had money, one could stay at any inn; as long as one took the exam on time, it would be fine.
The money Ning Ye gave was more than enough for Zhang Zihe to spend as he pleased, but Zhang Zihe still wanted to see what kind of people the other candidates taking the exam in the same year were.
Most of these so-called students from poor families came in groups or alone. It was extremely rare to see someone like Zhang Zihe with several guards by his side.
Almost everyone in the examination hall sleeps in a large dormitory. However, apart from a few students who stay here, others will find an inn, since maintaining a good condition is also very important.
If failing an exam is caused by not sleeping well, these people would probably be so angry they'd die.
After going around in circles, Zhang Zihe found that he had not met the so-called kindred spirit he had imagined. Most people did not even dare to look him in the eye.
This made Zhang Zihe feel somewhat disappointed. After all, this was a talented scholar, and to be only like this was really too poor.
However, Zhang Zihe still planned to explore the entire examination hall. In fact, it was only when he reached the deepest part that he saw a guy with disheveled hair, holding a book and muttering to himself. He looked like he had a kind of mentally unstable beauty.
However, upon closer inspection, Zhang Zihe discovered that the man was reciting books backwards, and what he said was completely accurate.
This piqued Zhang Zihe's interest; perhaps this eccentric person was just that different.
"The book this gentleman is reciting must be the Record of Famous Figures written by the founding prime minister."
The man merely glanced up at Zhang Zihe before lowering his head again to continue reciting his text, showing no intention of paying him any attention.
However, one of Zhang Zihe's guards was somewhat displeased, "My master Zhang is talking to you, didn't you hear him?"
The man said coldly, "Do you know that disturbing someone's reading is a very impolite thing to do? Please leave immediately."
"It was indeed my fault. Since you are willing to vouch for me, I will not bother you any longer. However, if you would like to go out for a drink, I would like to treat you."
The man brushed the hair away from his face, revealing a somewhat ferocious and terrifying expression. "After seeing my face, do you still have such thoughts?"
Zhang Zihe remained unmoved. He had seen dead people before, so a face disfigured by fire was not enough to make him react differently.
"Brother, I'm new here too, so I just wanted to find someone to drink with. If you're willing, we can leave now. Of course, we'd also like to discuss poetry and literature."
Wang Mingyang smiled and said, "You're the first person who wasn't scared by me. I'll give you face and let's go have a few drinks together."
Zhang Zihe immediately found a restaurant with a decent environment. Of course, drinking and composing poetry in such a restaurant wouldn't be complete without beautiful women by your side.
In the capital, even in restaurants that aren't brothels, there are women dancing and enjoying the scenery. However, if anyone dares to do anything out of line, they will be directly sent to the authorities for legal trouble.
After a few drinks, Zhang Zihe began to test whether Wang Mingyang had any real talent or ability. But he never expected that Wang Mingyang would bring him such a pleasant surprise.
Whether discussing poetry, prose, or unique insights into various matters, Wang Mingyang demonstrated exceptional erudition.
This conversation left Zhang Zihe with a feeling of regret for not having met a kindred spirit sooner. However, he also knew that it was impossible to truly open up to someone over just a meal of chives. He could only hope that there would be opportunities to deepen their relationship in the future.
Zhang Zihe always remembered a saying: talented people should focus on what talented people should do, rather than wasting their time.
The current court is rotten, and he doesn't mind helping Ning Ye recruit a few talented people to return. Only in this way can he help Ning Ye do better and better.
Turning our attention back to Ning Ye, he was currently watching Zhang Zifeng and the others conduct an experiment with great interest.
After studying for so long, Zhang Zifeng finally figured out something else. However, today was the first experiment, so he simply dragged Ning Ye over.
Ning Ye looked at what they were doing with a very complicated expression, after all, they were preparing an ice maker.
Logically speaking, this thing is related to chemical reactions to some extent. To preserve ice for a long time, you need not only the ability to make ice, but also the ability to keep it warm.
Zhang Zifeng did this with the chubby boy. The two of them working together is a powerful combination. One is very keen on chemistry, and the other is very keen on physics. It is not impossible for them to make a refrigerator together.
As for all the raw materials they used, they were all found by Mo Li and Xia Qingyu. After all, as long as you describe what something looks like, the two of them can bring it back accurately without making any mistakes.
Ning Ye observed that every step Zhang Zifeng took was almost perfect, not only accurately observing the chemical reaction but also specially crafting a set of protective gear for himself.
It does look a bit ridiculous now, but there's no denying that Zhang Zifeng is still very concerned about her safety after what happened last time.
This time, Zhang Zifeng didn't just use the simplest chemical reaction; instead, she came up with a completely different approach.
The original refrigerator had a flame inside, but now Zhang Zifeng has combined the two methods together.
As for whether there would be any problems if he did this, Ning Ye didn't know, after all, no one had ever done this before.
For these children, everything they do now is extremely important, because only in this way can they know whether the path they are on is right and whether they can succeed.
