After coming out of Yuchun Tower, he met Li Zhu and Cao Yun, brothers and sisters. Li Changxian lowered his head and looked at Cao Yun's sister. She was not as tall as his own sister. She was dark and skinny. She probably didn't have enough food after coming to Chang'an from Goryeo. Less pain.

She was wearing clothes that didn't fit her, and she didn't know that the little maid in Yuchun Tower had given her clothes that she didn't want to wear. It seemed that she had to spend more money to buy clothes for the little girl.

Li Zhu was muttering to the side, looking listless, which made Li Changxian very confused. Wasn't this kid always very bold? Why did he become so depressed after entering Yuchun Tower this time? Could it be that this kid was hiding it from him and taking his own money? I'm looking for a girl, and she looks like she's been drained.

After listening to the result of the conversation between the two and the madam, Li Changxian was furious and scolded Li Zhu and the two. The two big men were mentally raped by the old madam. They went to buy a dark and skinny little girl, which was originally worth ten or two taels. The two people were told by the madam that it was not enough to hand over the two hundred taels of silver notes in the end, and they also emptied the salary paid to Li Zhu yesterday.

The madam is really a talent! Li Changxian's mind flashed to the brothel madam in "The Ninth Grade Sesame Official" starring Stephen Chow. I really want to go back and ask the madam of Yuchun Tower if she has a biological sister?

In Beijing, a metropolis where people cannibalize people, Yuchunlou has always been ranked among the top ten brothels in Beijing. It is really not easy for Yuchunlou to be the bustard! It is not easy either!

Along the way, Li Changxian was still showering Li Zhu and Cao Yun with money. I paid him a few million per minute, but you two guys paid two hundred taels at a time.

Mediocrity!

waste!

I'm ashamed of you!

The next day, Cao Yun, a loser, was added to the carriage. The little girl was sent directly to Wang Jingmei to be reformed. Li Changxian sat on the carriage, leading the useless duo, and the coachman Li Dazhu drove the carriage along the straight line. The streets slowly left the capital.

The roads in the capital city are okay. The streets are paved with thick stone slabs. Although they are a bit bumpy, they are still tolerable. However, the dirt roads in the suburbs of Beijing are so bumpy that the journey of twenty or thirty miles can take half a day.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, Li Changxian was already hungry. Not only was he hungry, the weather was still a bit hot, and the four of them were as thirsty as dogs. After all, it was already early summer.

Li Changxian struggled to get off the carriage. If Cao Yun hadn't helped him, he would have fallen in the mud. The carriage kept overturning along the way, and Li Changxian always felt that his butt was not his own butt and his legs were no longer his own legs.

Horse-drawn carriages have no shock-absorbing devices. In ancient times, going out in a horse-drawn carriage was a punishment!

Zhuangzi is adjacent to the suburbs of Beijing, backed by mountains, and there is a small river running through the village. The location is quite good.

This village was one of the only dowries left by Li Changxian's mother. The second wife did not intend to give it to Li Changxian, but due to pressure from Li Changxian's uncle's family, she had no choice but to give it to Li Changxian when the family was separated.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu were chosen as dowries by Li Changxian's grandfather's family. They were honest, hardworking, and good at farming.

The village is well managed by Mr. and Mrs. Liu and their children. The fields are as far as the eye can see, and the grain crops and vegetables are green and green. There are flocks of chickens and ducks in the village, and from time to time a native dog scurries across the field path. .

As soon as he entered the village, Lao Liu led the villagers to greet him, took the carriage, and arranged for someone to take it to the backyard for feeding.

Although Li Changxian had never been to Zhuangzi, Old Liu knew the horseman Li Dazhu and knew that it was the young master who came to Zhuangzi.

For a time, Zhuangzi's people burst into tears. It had been ten years since his mother had passed away, and it was the first time that Zhuangzi's people saw the young master coming.

At noon, Mr. and Mrs. Liu served Li Changxian for dinner, and also introduced several of their children. The farmers were all very honest and sincere, and they had no shortage of etiquette. Even the children behind them imitated them in a decent manner.

The purpose of Li Changxian's visit to Zhuangzi this time was to find a suitable place to experiment with gunpowder. Li Changxian followed Lao Liu all over Zhuangzi in the afternoon. The 300-acre Zhuangzi said it was either big or small. The back mountain, there

It is sparsely populated and is an excellent place to experiment with gunpowder.

He did what he said, and within the next few days, Li Changxian ordered Li Zhu to take Cao Yun to buy a large amount of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal in the market. They began to experiment according to the proportion of gunpowder.

Of course, Li Changxian did not do any specific preparation of gunpowder. He only told Li Zhu and Cao Yun the proportions of gunpowder, and also gave some safety knowledge. Then he became the hands-off shopkeeper and just wandered around the village lazily every day.

During my free time, I told the children on the farm about Journey to the West and Legend of the Condor Heroes, took a group of urchins into the water to catch shrimps and fish, and went to the mountains to trap rabbits and catch birds. My little life was very pleasant.

However, the experiments on gunpowder were unsatisfactory. It is not known whether the saltpeter was impure, there were too many sulfur impurities, or some other reason. The gunpowder produced could not achieve the effect Li Changxian wanted.

Li Changxian didn't know the purity of the saltpeter he bought, nor did he know how to purify the saltpeter and remove impurities in the sulfur. He could only arrange for Li Zhu and Cao Yun to slowly experiment.

Although the effect was not ideal and the two of them were disappointed, they were very motivated. Sometimes when Li Changxian saw it, he would sigh, what a good worker, and a technical talent who loves science!

In this way, the waste duo turned into a scientific and technological research duo.

Until one day, someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs informed Li Changxian that he should go to the ministry as soon as possible to apply for relevant entry documents.

Li Changxian wandered back from Zhuangzi, visited his grandmother and old man, met his second concubine, and gave his sister a pair of little rabbits.

As for the second uncle's family, everyone dislikes each other and still don't meet each other!

When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Wang Jingmei greeting me happily, and she just muttered: She's still young, let's grow up!

Wang Jingmei was speechless after hearing this.

The Jin Dynasty stipulated that most women get married between the ages of twelve and fourteen. Some women get married when they are just ten years old. Imagine that a beautiful woman has three or four wives when she just comes of age.

Child, how terrible!

What's more, these married women are still just children themselves!

The evil feudal society!

The next day when I went to the Civil Affairs Office, the person in charge of the office asked, "Why haven't you come to apply for the entry documents after so many days?"

Li Changxian was helpless. No one told me that I needed to apply for employment documents. I thought you told me to go, so I just went.

The people in the Ministry of Official Affairs rolled their eyes after hearing this, "You don't know, don't you know how to ask?"

Who are you asking? Have you ever seen a seventh-grade official with the status of superintendent of students?

A juren refers to a person who is recommended. As long as you have the status of a juren, you are qualified to be an official. You can directly enter the county government as an academic officer, an assistant officer, or you may directly serve as a county magistrate.

After winning the election, the candidates began to learn the procedures for becoming an official and the operating procedures of relevant departments.

And how did Li Changxian understand that what he had learned could reach the level of a third-grade elementary school student diploma?
Chapter completed!
