The steam engine is enough to reverse the things of this era. Zhu Cilang dreams of having them, but he is always unavailable.

I was confused and spent my whole life writing "The Ming Dynasty" I wrote, but I didn't expect that someone actually made a steam engine accordingly.

Although there is no breakthrough in other fields, it can be regarded as a huge revolutionary progress here at least.

In fact, the principle of a steam engine is relatively simple, and it is not difficult to make a steam engine. The real difficulty is how to use this mechanical kinetic energy and use it in life.

Zhu Cilang didn't expect that someone would do it. This scholar named Chen Wen instantly aroused Zhu Cilang's great interest.

He ordered Li Yan to quickly transfer people to Tianjin Wei. He transferred this scholar named Chen Wen to the capital, and Zhu Cilang wanted to summon him personally.

A small scholar in academy actually alarmed the current emperor. This is of course a big deal, so the officials below did not dare to neglect at all.

The carriage went straight to Lishan Academy. Chen Wen made a steam engine according to the "Ming Dynasty" which caused a huge sensation in the local area. At this time, all the officials in the capital came, and the Lishan Academy was surrounded by the onlookers.

Two little eunuchs from the yellow door spoke in Beijing: "Who is Chen Wen?"

The people who came from the palace were the people. For the Xingdou people here, they had never seen the people in the palace in their lifetime. Even a small eunuch was a huge official in their eyes.

Chen Wen stood out from the crowd and bowed to the two little yellow doors: "Two father-in-laws, that's right."

The eunuch dared not neglect the people appointed by the emperor. They were all arrogant and became polite to Chen Wen: "Mr. Chen, we will be ordered by the emperor to come to the palace to meet you."

As soon as this said, the crowd immediately exploded. Especially the dean of the academy, he stroked his white beard with joy: "The son can teach, and the son can teach! My academy shines brightly on the lintel, and the lintel."

The crowd immediately burst into warm applause, and the small Lishan Academy actually produced such talents. This is not only the glory of the academy, but also the glory of the entire Tianjin Wei.

"I'll tell Hua Niang that our Master Chen has been summoned by the emperor."

"That's right, let's go and have a look."

Hua Niang is Chen Wen's wife. Chen Wen is a poor scholar with no power to tie a chicken. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty treated scholars with preferential treatment, even Zhu Cixuan canceled many of the treatments of scholars.

However, after all, the court attached importance to education, and scholars like Chen Wen protected them in the Lishan Academy.

If you can enter the academy, there will be additional subsidies from the court every year. It is probably because you have three hangs of money every year. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing.

Chen Wen's wife Hua Niang usually does some needlework to supplement the family income. Although she lives in poverty, fortunately she can barely make a living.

However, Chen Wen was incredibly progressive in his studies. He had been in Lishan Academy for many years and failed to pass the exam.

In recent years, the imperial court has begun to encourage scientific and technological inventions, especially vigorously promoting the "Ming Dynasty Journal" written by Zhu Cixuan.

It was precisely because of his research on the Ming Dynasty's Bible Academic, that Chen Wencai was not expelled from the academy. The court stipulated that each local academy must have three to five scholars who were obsessed with the study of the Ming Dynasty's Bible Academic. Otherwise, his status as an official academy would be abolished.

There is no way. Now every academy has to cultivate a few such scientific and technological talents. Although most of these people are those who are scattered and waiting to die, some people finally created new inventions.

Chen Wen's father-in-law is a butcher. Yes, Chen Wen's life experience is very similar to Fan Jin in the Scholars, and there is a fierce father-in-law.

However, Chen Wen was summoned by the emperor at the Lishan Academy. His wife and mother were not aware of it.

Hua Butcher is selling meat in the town. As a butcher here, Hua Butcher has been slaughtering pigs all his life. In the town, it is also a famous hob meat.

What is hob meat? It refers to the kind of hala belt tendons or inferior meat that cannot be cut, cooked, or chewed; it describes the kind of person who is stubborn and entangled, and who doesn't listen to anything.

Logically speaking, the Ming Dynasty is now booming. Grain crops are constantly yielding, and people's lives are becoming increasingly rich.

However, the Chen family is still barely scattered. Chen Wen's house lives in a low thatched hut. When it rains, the roof leaks and the ground flows. The family's life is really miserable.

Chen Wen's mother was already hungry at home and was dizzy. She held the door frame and looked outside with her eyes wide open: "Hua Gu, hasn't Wen'er come back from the academy yet?"

Fortunately, Hua Gu did not dislike Chen Wen's mother. Her mother-in-law was also dedicated to her.

After hearing what the mother-in-law said, Hua Gu stopped the spinning wheel in her hand: "Mom, it's still early this day."

Chen Wen's mother sighed: "The school is difficult, and she said she has not been able to get a salary of three hangs of money. This family has to eat. I am so hungry. Hua Gu, there is still brown rice at home. You can cook some to eat."

Hua Gu sighed, stood up and took off her apron. She walked to the rice jar, lifted the head of the sorghum stalks. She picked up the gourd ladle in the jar, and saw that the brown rice had already bottomed out.

Hua Gu was cruel and scraped it hard at the bottom of the tank. Then she scraped out half a bowl of brown rice. She washed the brown rice. Then, she put it in an iron pot and added two scoops of water.

Hua Gu picked up the scythe next to the stove and went to the woodshed to bring the firewood. Just as she was thinking of lighting the scythe and igniting the firewood, there was a burst of shouts in the yard outside.

I saw that it was Hua Gu’s father-in-law, Chen Wen’s father-in-law Hua Butcher, holding a pair of large intestines and a jar of wine, walked in.

Hua Butcher said, "I am lucky to marry my daughter to your Chen family's treasure. I don't know how much I have been tired over the years. Hua Gu's life is so hard, so why did she marry such a coward? I'm afraid that your family has been put every meter in your family. Now I have brought you a pig intestine, and Hua Gu will wash it and put it in the pot. It's also a bit of meat."

Chen Wen's mother didn't dare to say anything when she was snatched by the butcher of Hua. Hua Gu was also timid and called "Dad", then took the pig intestine and took it to clean it.

Looking at his daughter's thin back, the flower butcher sighed and accidentally farted: "Oh, life is impermanent, the large intestine is wrapped around the small intestine."

Hua Gu didn't understand, what did she mean? She was carrying a large intestine tied with a hemp rope in her hand and was about to take it to the edge of the village stream.

Just then, a large crowd of people rushed over in front of him.
