Facing the resolute mother and Liu Dazhuang, Li Yuting could not persuade them any more, so he had to help them do what he could.
Within a few days, Liu Dazhuang found a small courtyard near where he lived and bought it for two hundred and sixty taels of silver dollars. The courtyard was not big, only about the size of an entrance, and there were not many rooms inside. The housing prices in Beijing at any time were very high.
It’s not cheap. House prices in Beijing have risen again in the past two years, so the house he bought was smaller than Liu Dazhuang expected.
Once there is a venue, there must also be relevant teaching facilities. Liu Dazhuang plans to do most of these things himself, which can also save some money. Tables, chairs, new blackboards, etc. can be made by himself at absolutely no cost.
It is definitely not possible to rely on Liu Dazhuang to do so much work alone. Li Yuting is so worried that he rushes here and there every day after work. It is not just Li Yuting who comes to help, but also the elders who were literate at Li Yuting's house.
After the young men heard about this, they would come over to help as long as they had time. Even the adults nearby would come over to help when they had free time. Running night schools has become a major event that people living in nearby courtyards participate in.
.
Riding a new scooter, Li Yuting arrived at the night school preparation site. Liu Dazhuang saw Li Yuting's new car and hurried over to take a look.
"Yuting, after all, there are skilled craftsmen in your palace. The scooters they make are much better than mine." Liu Dazhuang stepped on Li Yuting's new scooter. After trying it for a few laps, he couldn't help but sigh. The scooters made by the palace were made by Liu Dazhuang.
The car is much easier to use than the original prototype I made. It has been improved in many details. The biggest improvement is that the front armrest and steering device are connected with bearings, making the control more flexible. In addition, the bottom of the car is
The wheels were changed from bearings to slightly larger iron wheels.
"The modified one is easy to use, but the price is not cheap. This kind of car costs more than one or two silver! Brother Da Zhuang, how much does the car you make cost? At first, you said that after you set up a factory, you were afraid that brothers would buy it.
Sorry, now it seems that your worries are really justified."
"I took a look at your car. In fact, there are many problems that can be solved with cheap methods! When I have two days free, I will improve the car I made." Technological progress is based on mutual learning and mutual inspiration.
, inspired by Liu Dazhuang’s prototype, Gong Li made a truly practical scooter. In turn, Gong Li’s scooter inspired Liu Dazhuang, giving him many new ideas for improving scooters.
"Brother Da Zhuang, let me tell you something. People in the company told me something today. The Department of Labor and Obstetrics is going to transfer me from the company to a department in another place. Probably within this month,
I'm going out of town, so you have to help take care of my mother."
"Telling you to go out of town? Where are you going?"
"We should go to the mine in Daning!"
"Going to Daning? That's where the imperial court is newly restored. I heard there's been a war there. Why do you suddenly want to transfer you to that place? Aren't you offending someone?"
"No way! The palace has done a lot of projects in Daning this year, and there is a shortage of manpower there. The reason why I was transferred here is to train me. I will be promoted very quickly after working there for two or three years! Wait until I come back.
, I can almost do things independently.”
"But, after all, there are wars and dangers everywhere."
"There are tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court. It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. If I don't go outside to train, I will probably just be a small steward in my life, with no big future."
"Now that you've made up your mind, go wherever you go! Pay attention to safety when you get there, and don't worry at home. Everything will be fine with me here."
Seeing that Liu Dazhuang agreed to his request, Li Yuting was relieved. This time he went to Daning, half because of the palace and half because he wanted to go. The palace gave very good conditions to people who went to Daning.
, Li Yuting knew that he had no connections, so he had to seize this opportunity, otherwise it would be difficult to climb up. He was young and it was time to climb up. He calculated and went to Daning to work hard for three years before returning.
, his age is around sixteen or seventeen. When he is in his prime, his qualifications have been raised again, and his future will be limitless. As a child who came out of a large courtyard, he is very motivated.
No matter what, you should be better off than Hong Gouzi, right?
Surviving was the main pursuit of most people in Beijing a few years ago, but now most people in Beijing are beginning to pursue changing their social status. In a healthy and dynamic social environment, the upward path should be relatively diverse and flat.
The situation before the Ming Dynasty was abnormal. The mainstream upward path was compressed on the imperial examination. As a result, the whole society became abnormal around the imperial examination. The imperial examination became the only road to heaven. Without the imperial examination, other struggles
All are worthless. Zhu Youjian’s idea is to open up as many paths for advancement as possible, while at the same time making each path less immediate in changing one’s class situation. In this way, social perversion and deformity can be greatly prevented.
Culture. A society cannot place an extreme emphasis on martial arts, nor can it place an extreme emphasis on business. Of course, it cannot place an extreme emphasis on the so-called civil affairs. Freedom of all kinds of frost is the way to heaven.
Li Yuting and the others, who grew up in the capital, are looking for ways to make progress, and even go out of the capital to seek success in the vast world. Many people also come to the capital in order to find a peaceful refuge in this chaotic world.
Shen Menggeng, a young literati from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, took part in several scientific examinations, but in the end he was just an old scholar. Old scholars also have to make a living, and his way of making a living is a little bit special. He makes a living by writing storybooks and scripts for dramas. This is
It was a fairly niche profession in the late Ming Dynasty, so niche that it was difficult to support oneself through it.
Due to the special nature of his profession, he had a fate with Ruan Dacheng. Later, after Ruan Dacheng became the editor-in-chief of Xinmin Times, he asked someone to write to him and serialize his book Zhiguai. Not to mention, the response after the serialization was quite big.
, and finally the newspaper specially made a whole volume of stories for sale, and the sales volume was also very high. With sales and influence, Shen Menggeng naturally received a lot of royalties, and one after another he received hundreds of royalties from Ruan Dacheng.
Two silver coins.
With such good profits, Shen Mengeng could no longer stay in his hometown. In the spring of this year, he took his family and moved north to the capital. He wanted to run his business well and do something serious.
"Brother Chenxing, you have the idea of coming to the capital! You must know that you are now famous in the literary world! This time you come to the capital, you will definitely reach a higher level in the literary world." As soon as Shen Menggeng arrived in the capital, Ruan Dacheng said
He came to help him. In the past, Ruan Dacheng would not take a literary person like him seriously. But it is different now. Writers with high traffic like Shen Menggeng are what people like Ruan Dacheng who build platforms are in urgent need of.
Resources, so he attaches great importance to Shen Menggeng's coming to the capital. If he were an ordinary street writer, Lao Ruan would not be so arrogant to show his courtesy.
