Chapter 266 Hurry up and join Li Zhao’s family

The old man didn't know where the speed came from, but he rushed into the car like this, found a seat and sat down, and finally regained some clarity. When he looked up, he saw that it was His Majesty's carriage. He felt a little in his heart and saluted quickly.

Ying Zheng didn't care at all, but his face was expressionless. Suddenly, there was a loud noise, a few seconds, and a boom. It was clearly visible that the steam engine in front emits a thick smoke, followed by steam rising into the sky.

Toot!

The carriage suddenly shook. The old man couldn't sit still and staggered. The three doctors next to him quickly supported him.

At the same time, the expressions of the three doctors also changed. The carriage moved. It was not unable to start as expected, but moved slowly. Although the speed was very slow, everyone knew that it was moving.

"This, this" When people outside saw this scene, they stared blankly, feeling as if they had seen a ghost.

With dozens of people working together, this carriage can actually move without any hindrance.

Quack!

With a long roar, the steam engine continued to make a rumbling sound, and the speed actually increased, rolling over the stone pavement, leaving a deep mark under the friction of the wheels.

Seeing such a huge thing move, like an iron ship entering the sea, causing huge waves, the guards nearby were shocked and forgot that they should evacuate the crowd at this moment to clear a path for the giant thing.

"Quick, quick, let everyone get out of the way and don't alert His Majesty."

Finally, the leader of the guards reacted and urged the guards to drive away the overwhelming crowd.

The speed of this thing became more and more rapid. Under the fierce shouts of the guards, the crowd also realized the danger and exited the avenue one after another. Suddenly, the giant thing dragged a long black and white air and drove forward as steadily as a mountain.

After the giant object disappeared, people stayed there for a long time, their hearts fluctuating.

"Dozens of people! They actually pulled it. Is this still a carriage?" said a Confucian scholar.

Although most of the crowd were Confucian scholars, there were also Legalists. They had long been dissatisfied with the aggressiveness of the Confucians just now, and now that they saw their defeat, they began to laugh at them.

"Of course this is not a carriage. Didn't you listen to what the boy said before? This is technology. Only technology can carry dozens of people, but some people are so ridiculous that they actually ridicule technology as an empty shell."

"I think what some people have learned is just an empty shell."

"The way to spin a ball is to sit still and realize it? It's really ridiculous. Facts have proved that only by doing it can you realize such a giant thing that can run."

Then, some people thought of the rumor that Li Zhao refuted the words of the three doctors, and their hearts moved slightly.

Confucianism understood Confucianism and Taoism from the steam-rotating ball, and Mohism understood the steam engine from it. Others don't know whether Confucianism and Taoism are of great use, but this steam engine is definitely of great use.

Carriage is an expensive thing, and most people cannot afford to ride it. However, steam engines are different. They can carry dozens of people at a time. If they pay a little money, they can have a car. Will this change the way they travel and allow them to travel further?

A place where ordinary people and nobles alike can enjoy the feeling of walking in the wind.

This is an innovation.

I have to say that people with such ideas are very avant-garde and can see the whole picture from just one place.

"Such an innovative thing actually came from Li Zhao. No, under the guidance of General Li, it seems that the Chang'an Township Science and Technology Hall is not an empty shell."

At this point, the man's words suddenly stopped because someone next to him pulled him.

He covered his mouth knowingly and followed the man away.

When he came to a deserted place, the man asked: "Brother Cao, why did you stop me?"

The person opposite was Cao Shen. Although Cao Shen had a great reputation, he was only assigned a minor official and could not be included as a court official. For such a grand event, he naturally joined the crowd to watch the fun. When he saw such an amazing scene, he was shocked in his heart.

.

Especially when I heard that this thing was made by Li Zhao, no, under the guidance of his elder brother's teacher, I was extremely moved.

I originally thought that being insulted by Li Zhao was the eldest brother's bad luck, but now it seems that it is not the case at all. The eldest brother met a good teacher, who not only wrote two unparalleled books, allowing the eldest brother to win the imperial examination, but also realized such great things.

Strange person.

Such a strange man would definitely have a bright future if he could be his disciple, but it is a pity that he does not have such a good relationship.

Then he saw his old friend Zhuo talking about the Science and Technology Hall and immediately stopped him.

"Brother Zhuo, do you know that His Majesty is very happy today?"

Zhuo didn't know what he meant.

It is a well-known fact that His Majesty is happy today, everyone present knows it, but does this have anything to do with talking about the Science and Technology Hall?

Zhuo nodded, but tilted his head.

"Since you know, why are you so stupid to talk about the Science and Technology Hall?"

"How do you say this?" Zhuo Wei's expression changed slightly.

Cao Shen knocked on his head and said, "Why do we study?"

Zhuo responded without thinking: "Of course it is to gain fame and be appreciated by His Majesty."

Cao Shen looked around and saw no one was around, so he quietly came over and asked, "Do you understand what your Majesty wants to do by trying to figure out the Holy Heart?"

Zhuo was slightly startled and clicked his tongue: "Brother Cao means that His Majesty values ​​steam engines, and steam engines are technology. I should become a disciple of General Li?"

Cao Shen smiled, that was exactly what he meant.

This is how the eldest brother Xiao He achieved what he has achieved today. He is far behind. If he had not held an official position, he would have joined Li Zhao's family without hesitation.

"As the saying goes, those who are complicated will be humbled by the crowd. Enter the Chang'an Township Science and Technology Hall before everyone reacts. If you are lucky enough to be able to serve the steam engine, it will be your day. Compared with the imperial examination road, this road is much easier.

"

There is one thing he hasn't said yet, that is, even if he reaches the threshold of the imperial examination, he may not be appreciated, and he may just live a low life like him, not knowing what the future holds.

This is not nonsense. Before the emergence of the imperial examination, most people in the imperial court were recommended. People who were powerless and had some connections could worship the officials as their teachers. After completing their studies, they could be recommended as officials. Officials are officials, so naturally officials are inferior to others.

He was born in a distinguished family, and he also held official positions. Although he was an official, he was ordered around like a local official, not like his brother who had reached an important position in the officialdom.

This is the difference between being appreciated and not being appreciated.

General Li is His Majesty's favorite, and the eldest brother is General Li's favorite disciple. In this way, the eldest brother will be appreciated and used in a great way, and his future will be immeasurable, while he, on the other hand, remains unknown.

But if you don't take the imperial examination and become a disciple of General Li, you may have a higher chance of being appreciated by His Majesty.

What's more, His Majesty loves science and technology so much, and the Science and Technology Hall was founded by General Li. Isn't this a clear future? If he didn't hold an official position, he would have already taken action.

"Brother Cao's words are wonderful. I was really stupid just now. I almost said it to break such an important door. Fortunately, brother reminded me, otherwise Zhuo would have missed a huge opportunity."

Cao Shen raised his hand with some envy.

"Brother, brother," Zhuo's tone gradually became friendly, "I will immediately go to Chang'an Township and worship at the Science and Technology Hall. If I can be appreciated by His Majesty one day, I will thank you deeply."

Zhuo bowed his hands and hurried away quickly. Cao Shen looked at the back with even more envy.

If he had joined General Li like an elder brother, he might not have felt like he was being manipulated by others today. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
