When everyone was swept by Emperor Jing's gaze, they couldn't help but lower their heads and dared not look directly at him.
But I began to have doubts in my heart.
Under normal circumstances, changing the household type would never be an option.
The people are content with their own business and sons follow in their fathers' footsteps. What a good system.
But after things are changed at will, people become restless and want to develop things according to their own ideas. Wouldn’t that cause chaos?
The farmer doesn't farm well, and the blacksmith doesn't do his job well.
Although most people are strongly opposed in their hearts, it is really difficult to speak up at this moment.
Just after being rebuked by Fang Zheng, His Majesty sided with him again.
The most important thing is that the students of Dongjiao University have really made a great contribution! I don’t know how many uses this hot air balloon will have in the future.
If only graduates from Dongjiao University can change their household registration type, then opening this small loophole seems to be a compromise.
The ministers were speechless, and finally Li Yansong spoke up: "Since Your Majesty has agreed, we should obey."
Emperor Jing said, "Okay, then this matter is settled. Arrange it and make it easier for students of Dongjiao University in the future."
Fang Zheng was overjoyed!
It's settled! This time, the foundation of Dongjiao University has been completely secured. With this permission alone, countless people who are determined to change their destiny will devote themselves to science.
Originally the seedling of science was very fragile, but in the next instant it grew into a small tree.
If you want to recruit students again in the future, you won’t have to spend too much effort.
If we open branches all over the country and screen talents comprehensively, it is not certain whether we can create a college entrance examination system parallel to the imperial examination.
Then wouldn’t I, Fang Zhengyi, be the father of the college entrance examination!
This time he's going to turn it completely around to make up for his broken heart, right?
Fang Zhengyi licked his lips and said excitedly, "On behalf of all the students of Dongjiao University, I would like to thank Your Majesty for his kindness!"
Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's talk about this hot air balloon first."
"This thing is easy to control, so I, Dajing, will have an extra eye. I plan to set up another Flying Guard, tentatively with a thousand people. The Ministry of Revenue will allocate silver to build another batch of hot air balloons."
"First, you need to gather some people for me to work with the Ministry of War and teach me how to control the hot air balloon."
"I obey the decree!"
......
It's getting dark.
Xiao Letian returned home briskly.
When I arrived at the doorstep and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, I still had a deep sense of unreality.
Everything that happened today was so surreal.
He entered the palace and met the emperor, and found out that the Master Li who had accompanied him in going crazy was actually the prince.
The most important thing is to prove yourself!
Now the knot that had been blocking my chest has been untied. If my father knew about this, he would be extremely happy.
I just don’t know when the reward from the court will come.
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian pushed open the door of his home.
The room was still as dark as usual. If his father wasn't reading, he would not be willing to turn on the light.
Xiao Letian fumbled to light the oil lamp.
He walked into the house holding the oil lamp and saw Xiao Kang lying on his side and sleeping, so he gently blew out the lamp.
"Are you back?" Xiao Kang's voice suddenly came.
"Dad, you're not asleep?"
"Go to bed. There's food in the pot. Don't turn on the light if you're not reading." Xiao Kang's voice was calm.
Although the knot in my heart has been untied, I can't stand the rumors that keep coming in recently.
Especially since he had offended the matchmaker last time, the old woman was holding a grudge and was becoming more and more excited in fanning the flames.
Under her instigation, the rough men and shrews in the neighborhood became even more outspoken and their words were extremely harsh.
After being in this kind of environment for a long time, Xiao Kang inevitably became depressed, and the communication between father and son, which had been relieved, became difficult again.
Xiao Letian was aware of this situation.
He wanted to tell his father the good news with great enthusiasm, but his emotions were dampened by Xiao Kang's cold attitude.
Xiao Letian showed a bitter smile on his face, walked to the couch, and fell asleep with his clothes on.
I won't say any more! I'll tell you when the reward comes. If I tell you now, I'm afraid my father will think I'm crazy.
....
The next day, Xiao Kang went to work as usual.
The morning shift is to deliver goods to the East City vegetable market. They have to go out before dawn and deliver the goods before most people get up.
It's heavy physical work, even though there are three-wheeled vehicles on the market now.
But the boss didn't provide any equipment, let alone a horse-drawn carriage. There was only an old wooden cart that was pulled from the front and pushed from the back.
Half an hour later, Xiao Kang finally delivered the goods to the destination, with his hands covered in black mud.
After taking a short breath, Xiao Kang took off the cloth from his shoulders and wiped the sweat off his hands.
The slightly yellowish cloth towel was starched and washed in advance at night, and it turned black in an instant.
After cleaning it carefully, he frowned and sighed while rubbing his aching waist.
A worker nearby joked, "Old Xiao, your son has earned 100 taels, why is he still doing this hard work?"
"Now that you have some free time and can read and write, why don't you find a job as an accountant?"
Xiao Kang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Accounting is a very good job, but it is not easy to find. Strangers are not trustworthy, and there are so many poor scholars in the capital, how could he, a scholar who looks like an old farmer, get the job?
"What can a hundred taels do? My son hasn't got married yet."
"Wow! Marry a fairy? One hundred taels of silver is not enough to find any woman. My son didn't spend much money on his marriage, and he already has two children. Don't be too picky. Even though you are a scholar, aren't you pulling a cart like us? You just live your life as you should." A co-worker joked.
Xiao Kang said calmly, "My son's standards are naturally higher. He won't marry anyone other than a lady from a wealthy family. How can he be interested in ordinary women?"
