The ship came from the direction of Fujian and sailed into Lieyu Bay under the watchful eye of Chen Kai and slowly entered the harbor. The sea breeze blew and the huge Zheng characters stretched on the mast, making people afraid to look directly at it.

The next moment, the dock workers on the pier took over the rope thrown from the ship, gathered their manpower, pulled the rope, and the ship slowly came closer. When the distance was suitable, the rope was tied to the bitts, and the ship was stable.

After settling in, the trestle was set up securely, and under the protection of a group of servants and maids of the Zheng family, a slightly haggard woman in costume pulled a little boy of six or seven years old and got off the ship.

"I'm going to lower my official rank and recruit the general to join the army and take charge of the military affairs department. I also know Chen Kai from Zhangzhou Prefecture. I've met my wife and the young master."

Zheng Chenggong's wife Dong Yougu and Zheng Chenggong's eldest son Zheng Jing were the marquise and the heirs of this military and political group in this era. Chen Kai knew that "gu" was the honorific title given to this woman by later generations. In this era, more people still call her "gu".

Zheng Dong. This woman’s surname is Dong, and her maiden name is a unitary character. She is the daughter of Dong Biaoxian, deputy envoy to Guangdong during the Chongzhen Dynasty. She married Zheng Chenggong seven years ago and had Zheng Jing the following year, who was Zheng Chenggong’s son.

Original wife.

Seeing Aunt Dong You and Zheng Jing disembarking, Chen Kai saluted politely. However, Aunt Dong You heard that the person in front of her was Chen Kai, but she quickly stepped forward and returned the greeting: "Chen Canjun, please don't do this. In recent years, I have been helped by Chen Canjun to help my wife, and I feel deeply touched by this."

You must not be too polite." After saying that, Aunt Dong You even said to Zheng Jing: "Jing'er, why don't you help Uncle Chen quickly?"

"My child obeys." The little boy returned his mother's salute in a dignified manner, and then hurriedly bowed to help him: "Uncle Chen, please come up. My great-grandmother and mother both said that having Uncle Chen to help my father is even more powerful, and even more difficult."

I really want to learn from Uncle Chen so that I can share my worries for my father in the future."

"Madam, the young master has been over-honored. For the sake of reviving the Ming Dynasty and for the sake of the country's surname, it is only natural that he should be respected."

Raising her head and looking straight at her, she saw that Dong Yougu was one year older than Zheng Chenggong. Every move and gesture revealed the charm of a mature woman, and this charm was contained in the demeanor of everyone's mistress, which made her even more...

It looks dazzling.

Chen Kai didn't dare to be rude and turned to look at Zheng Jing, but he was just a six or seven-year-old child. But Chen Kai knew that Zheng Chenggong's son was not a good boy. It was just that he was still young and still had troubles.

It's just not revealed.

"My wife sent a letter to my family and mentioned that my uncle Chen's intelligence and courage were truly heroes of the world. It is a great blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have my uncle Chen help my wife, and I am also very lucky for the Zheng family."

"I just tried my best, but I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it. I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it."

Aunt Dong You's posture was very low, it was nothing more than a way for everyone's mistress to win over her husband. Chen Kai knew this. After a few words of greeting, his mind had already drifted back to the school. There were many people nearby.

He said that enrollment would start tomorrow, but he still had to check on the preparations today to feel at ease.

Her thoughts were changing, but only in the blink of an eye. Shortly after boarding the ship, Dong Yougu felt a little unwell, so she had to disembark in Nan'ao, rest for a few days, and then go to Chaozhou to talk to Zheng Chenggong about You Sheng's wedding after a long separation. The next second, Chen

Kai was already thinking about how to ask Aunt Dong You to return to the main town house to rest as soon as possible, but suddenly a flash of beauty flashed out of the corner of his eye, and this thought was immediately thrown out of the sky.

On the ship, a pretty figure stepped onto the trestle. With the support of the soft-hearted person who had called him back, she stepped off the trestle and slowly came to Dong Yougu's side.

"Long blessing to Chen Canjun."

"Zheng, Miss Zheng is so polite."

Through the gauze of the curtain, the little girl who was last year's still has a pretty appearance and a taller figure. Perhaps because of the short time, her body still looks a little thin and green. But even so, a woman's eighteenth transformation

, but it only flashed into Chen Kai's mind for a moment.

"Sister-in-law, you're not feeling well. You'd better go back to the main town hall to recuperate before you go see Brother Sen."

"Um."

The girl held Aunt Dong You's arm and whispered softly. A strange color flashed in Aunt Dong You's eyes, but then disappeared without a trace. After saying a word to Chen Kai, the group boarded the sedan.

, under the protection of the guards, headed towards the main town hall in the city, leaving only Chen Kai and his entourage still standing on the pier, letting the sea breeze blow.

"Okay, let's go back and do our duty."

The girl came with the ship, but Chen Kai didn't know it beforehand. He shook his head, as if he was disdainful of the performance of the attendants, and even more disdainful of his own reaction. Soon, Chen Kai put down this

Reverie left the dock first and rushed to the school in the city.

For the school, Chen Kai plans to only recruit the children of soldiers and craftsmen who work in the Ordnance Bureau or the military. It can also be said to be a primary school for the children of employees.

When these students enter school, the first thing they will be taught is literacy. Once they have a foundation in literacy, they will be able to use other skills. As for mathematics, chemistry, and physics, Chen Kai has already begun to collect relevant ancient works and translated European science books.

, many of these things can be bought in Chaozhou city. Chen Kai found some when he was on sick leave last time, which was used to compile teaching materials.

Learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry, and travel all over the world. In this era, even if you say this sentence, it can only be considered crazy talk. But in Chen Kai's view, science is the direction of the future, what kind of eight-legged essay

, Haha, he won’t waste this time anyway, because what this school wants to cultivate is a group of real scientists, even future scientific giants, rather than a bunch of rotten scholars who are good at infighting and studying hard!

After checking the progress, Chen Kai was very satisfied, because when he arrived, the preparation work had been completed. The only thing missing was to check if there was anything missing, and he could officially enroll students tomorrow.

Next, Chen Kai returned to the Ordnance Bureau for duty as usual, and when the time came for duty as usual, when he returned to the small courtyard of the main town hall, three children, Chen Yonghua, Hong Lei and Ke Ping, had been waiting in front of the door for a long time.

Chen Kai didn't say much and asked them to go into the study room to teach. First of all, he had to check their homework. Chen Kai naturally wouldn't teach them eight-legged essay. Even Confucian classics, he asked himself, might not be as good as those real ones.

Confucian scholar. But there are some things that the brain circuits of modern people are different from those of the ancients. Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, all he needs to do is to interpret it in another way.

It's just a way of developing ideas.
