Chapter 31 Cement
Hearing her own words being denied by her elder brother again, Wen Qiong fell into great confusion: "Am I not right? Isn't elder brother also like this, I...I want to follow the path of elder brother."
Wen Yu looked at him helplessly, with a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
Then let him sit down, and said solemnly: "No two people's life footprints are exactly the same. To borrow a sage's words, everyone's life world is actually determined by your heart. I was Worried about your youth and ignorance, and worried about your future life, you are forced to take the imperial examination. Now that you have experienced so much, you have grown up a lot, and you can choose your direction. Remember, your heart is the master of this world.”
Wen Qiong still didn't seem to understand, Wen Yu didn't bother him, and asked him to go back and think about it by himself, and stop reading for a few days.
Before leaving, Wen Yu turned around and added: "By the way, as for what kind of virtuous girl you said to marry with a good family, I advise you, if you don't think about it yourself, it's better not to harm his daughter. When will I ask you to find a high-ranking girl?" The family girl is gone, and three generations of our family's ancestors are still working in the fields, so don't even think about such a thing."
Wen Qiong blushed at what he said, and bowed her head in response.
Wen Yu stabbed his younger brother, and returned to the room refreshed.Although Wen Qiong was still worrying, he was not very angry this time, probably because at least Wen Qiong had learned to think for herself.
As a kid, you can’t instill a lot of truths in him and then let him do it directly, but you have to correct him in time after he has gone the wrong way. This time, the brother’s matter is completely over.
The cement factory over there has also made progress, and cement can finally be mass-produced and put into use.
But for cement, although the raw materials are not expensive, they can't be called cheap either.It's okay if you want to build a house or something, but if you want to complete Wen Yu's road construction plan, it's still relatively difficult.
The first thing after the cement production was completed, everyone discussed this matter for a long time, and finally chose to use it to build a building for social studies.
Although Sociology has been established for some time, due to various reasons, the address was chosen in an old house.
Every time Wen Yu passed by there and saw the dilapidated fence, she was a little terrified. The house was full of children and helpless scholars. If there was an accident, these people would run away. not drop.
Moreover, if the cement is not used well, the government and the people will take advantage of it, and it will be used to build a school first to silence the mouths of the people around it.
Wen Yu found four craftsmen who were more accomplished in building houses. Referring to the modern two-story building, several people revised more than a dozen drafts together, and finally designed the social studies dormitory.Before winter came, he quickly ordered people to build the house.
After the completion of the project, Wen Yu copied the ribbon-cutting ceremony in modern society in order to advertise, and specially invited local gentry and wealthy businessmen from Mengyang to visit.The face of the magistrate is still to be given, and everyone is invited to go.
As soon as I arrived, I was overwhelmed. Through the yard, I saw several two- and three-story square buildings standing one by one.
The body of the building is painted white. Different from the beautiful and elegant buildings in Sichuan, the overall appearance of the school building is very solemn and solemn, which just fits its identity.
As soon as they entered the building, everyone could feel the magical effect of what the magistrate called "cement".The walls in the school dormitory are much flatter than other residences, and even the ground is covered with a layer.
The interior of the dormitory is full of light, and it is divided into four classes of "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang".
Wen Yu explained: "Because each student has a different foundation, they are hereby divided into four levels. Each stage lasts for one year. The second class of Xuanhuang focuses on teaching literacy and basic common sense. If you are interested in studying, you can continue to study in the two classes of Tiandi. If you don’t want to take the exam, the school also offers subjects such as arithmetic and medicine. We strive to let every student have the skills to live and work.”
As soon as this remark came out, several old Confucian scholars jumped out to object: "My lord, what you said is wrong. There is a golden house in the book. How can you delay reading the sage's book because of a few coins! You have no talent and refuse to make progress. Just drive them out, lest those heretics tarnish such a good place!"
A few businessmen next to him rolled their eyes: "It's not right to say that, Mr. Wen is the parent officer of our Mengyang, and he is naturally thinking about the livelihood of everyone in Mengyang. I don't think there is anything wrong with learning to settle accounts. Waiting for this The next social school starts, and I will be the first to send my nephew here!"
Seeing that the two parties were about to argue, Wen Yu quickly stopped them: "Everyone, the arithmetic class is still under preparation, and it will take some time to formally accept students. We will put this matter aside for further discussion. Ordinary classes also have some arithmetic courses, after all The sage also said that a gentleman has six arts."
Wen Yu had already made up his mind about social studies, so they were originally interested in other things.After finishing speaking, Wen Yu quickly changed the subject: "I wonder what everyone thinks of this cement."
Before the others could react, the businessmen exchanged looks with each other.The Patriarch of the Shen family said cautiously: "Looking at this building is really eye-catching, but I don't know what else this cement can do?"
Wen Yu said to himself: "What you should ask is, what can cement not do."
Everyone was shocked: "Is this thing really so miraculous?"
Seeing their obviously skeptical expressions, Wen Yu couldn't help laughing secretly: "That's natural. Let me give you an example. The role of cement in construction is like the role of rice and noodles in eating and drinking. If you don't believe me, I can do it." Take everyone to visit the cement factory."
Except for some scholars who lack interest, the rest are happy to go.There they saw all kinds of cement products.Several big businessmen immediately scrambled to talk about the cement business with Wen Yu, and finally the two sides settled the deal at a suitable price.
But this is far from enough. Mengyang's so-called big businessman is actually not even a rich man in the entire Ming Dynasty.Not to mention Mengyang, even in the entire Shu region, there are not many people who can do business across the country at this time.
So Wen Yu thought of the original owner's Yue family master Wang, both the original owner and the current Wen Yu owed the Wang family a lot.Since it has been confirmed that cement is a profitable business, and the Wang family is a wealthy Huizhou merchant, it is better to inform them, just as Fu Geer also often talks about grandpa and uncle.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu wrote a letter to the Wang family, explaining the cement matter in general, and emphasized that there are other important matters to discuss with the Wang family, and it is best to send someone in charge.
After finishing this matter, Wen Yu turned to look for Xu Jing. The two hadn't seen each other since the last time they were drunk.Now that Wen Yu is free, she just felt that something was missing.Taking advantage of nothing to do today, Wen Yu planned to take Fu Geer to the inspection department for a tour, which can be regarded as a parent-child activity.
So the father and son got dressed and went out together. Along the way, Fu Geer was very happy, and his father said that he would take him to see his uncle who can fly!Even though ancient society generally valued literature over martial arts, children still instinctively prefer those heroes with high skill and martial arts.
Wen Yu looked at the excited Fu Geer with a bit of soreness, his son had never admired him so much... Fu Geer felt that his father seemed a little unhappy, so he quickly put his fat face on Wen Yu's chest to please him, like a cat Rubbed back and forth a few times.
"Little scoundrel...you are following me!" Wen Yu pinched the chubby face and couldn't help laughing.
When he arrived at the inspection department, Xu Jing learned the news and put down his work to pick up Wen Yu and his son.
He has been thinking about it for a long time these days, and in the end he still thinks that nothing happened with Wen Yu.After staying for a few years, maybe I still think I am funny when I think about it.
As a result, the defense line that had been worked so hard to build completely collapsed the moment he heard Wen Yu's name. While despising and spurning himself, he quickly walked towards the person he was thinking about day and night.
Wen Yu was also very happy to see Xu Jing: "Have you ever disturbed Ji Qing, I will bring the dog to see you."
Only then did Xu Jing notice Xiao Douding at his feet.Brother Fu sweetly called Uncle, and then started talking to Xu Jing, blushing and thinking that this uncle looks so good-looking!He is also taller than his father, and looks really mighty with that official uniform!
Looking at the star-eyed son, Wen Yu couldn't help but have a headache, who exactly does this child look like, and why does he feel that he has developed in the direction of Wen Qiong from before.no!I absolutely have to keep an eye on him so that this kid doesn't grow crooked!
Wen Yu forcibly straightened Fu Ge'er's little head, making him stare straight ahead.
Xu Jing put all his heart and soul on Wen Yu, seeing that his expression was not right, he immediately looked for topics, and told Fu Geer about the few cases he had solved with Wen Yu before, emphasizing Wen Yu's wiseness, martial arts, knowledge of people and kindness appoint.
Wen Yu, who was on the sidelines, began to wonder if the person in the story was really herself. Ji Qing's friendship filter is too thick!
Yes, Wen Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong at this time, she just felt that everyone was pure friendship.
Brother Fu clapped his hands straight when he heard it, daddy is really the best!Looking at him like that, Wen Yu felt that he had found the majesty of being an old father again, so he didn't stop Xu Jing from making up.
The three of them wandered around in the inspection department, during which Xu Jing also acted as a tour guide to explain to the father and son.Everyone who passed by was stunned. Is this really the cold-faced Hades Master Xu in the Inspection Department?They have been in the inspection department for so long and have never seen Xu Jing say so many words in one breath!
Wen Yu also felt that Xu Jing talked a lot today, presumably something good happened to Xu Jing today, and it was a coincidence that the father and son came here.
He didn't know that this was just a young man who saw his favorite person and couldn't help but want to attract the other person's attention like a peacock spreading its tail, and even gained a sense of presence by pleasing the people around him.
Speaking of which, Xu Jing is only in his early twenties. In modern times, he is still at the age of college, and he is also an older first love. All he can think of is these clumsy methods.
In this way, the three of them spent the whole afternoon, and Wen Yu returned to the city with the reluctant Fu Geer in his arms until it was getting late.
After sending their father and son away, Xu Jing went back to his room alone, sighing heavily, this time his plan to stay away from Wen Yu and others to naturally cool down his relationship failed again...
The author has something to say: EMMMMM can't figure out the setting of JJ's sensitive words, I'm calling for love in the title of the last chapter.I don't think it's a big deal, but it turned out to be harmonious for me. When he did this, I immediately felt so wretched...
