After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Xu Zhenying raised his head in hindsight, "Huh?"

Xu Anping smiled, "You don't know yet, Ronaldinho admires you the most. Since he entered the graduate school, he must turn over the textbooks over and over every night. Those courses in the intermediate class require two months for others. , he learned it thoroughly in just one month. He comes to me every day now and asks me when the advanced class textbook will be released——"

Xu Anping's words made Ronaldinho feel embarrassed at all. The young man blushed with embarrassment, looking like a piece of crimson jade against the light, but he still asked: "So, City Lord, when will the textbooks for the advanced classes be released?" ? This textbook is related to the future of our entire Zhou Dynasty. You must not forget it just because you are busy with government affairs!"

Xu Zhenying didn't expect fans to urge for updates as soon as they came up. She laughed dryly and said, "I'll do it as soon as possible, as soon as possible."

"Not as soon as possible, but immediately! You don't know that the chemistry and physics in the intermediate courses are so interesting. City Lord, is the earth really spherical? Does the earth really revolve around the sun?"

"Well, you'll know when the textbooks for the advanced classes come out later." Xu Zhenying didn't expect to be urged to update like this, so she quickly changed the subject, "Let's talk about the cement experiment. From your experiment manuscript, basically the temperature cannot be controlled. It cannot be mass-produced. The rolling efficiency is too low and cannot meet the screening requirements."

Luo Qingzhou nodded frequently when he heard this, and his inner excitement was unparalleled!

God, finally someone can understand his experimental records!

Finally there is someone with whom I can communicate without any hindrance!

The city lord deserves to be the city lord!

"You still need a thermometer!" Xu Zhenying sighed.

Luo Qingzhou suddenly regained his energy, his eyes shining like a hungry wolf, "City Lord, is it possible that temperature can also be measured?"

"Of course!" Xu Zhenying pointed to the weather outside, "Now in spring, the temperature is about 20 degrees, in summer it is usually around 30-35 degrees, and in winter it is usually around 5-10 degrees. But if you want to make a thermometer, Then you have to make a glass tube first, and it also involves sealing technology. This is equivalent to making a big banquet now. If you want to eat braised goose, it is not only a matter of goose and brine, but I also have to raise a goose now. .Technical barriers——"

Xu Zhenying started scratching his hair frantically.

Everyone had never seen such a manic side of Xu Zhenying, and they were a little afraid to come forward. However, Luo Qingzhou kept saying happily, "Then let's raise geese! Everything is difficult at the beginning. Only by taking the first step can we eat." Serve the braised goose! City Lord, please tell me a little bit, and I’ll find a solution!”

Luo Qingzhou seemed a little crazy. He took a notebook and began to record what Xu Zhenying said.

He didn't even have time to consider why Xu Zhenying was one step ahead and knew those conclusions that had never been verified by anyone.

All of this seems like Xu Zhenying knows the conclusion, but has never verified it. According to this logical reasoning, Xu Zhenying's knowledge that transcends ancient and modern times may have been learned from other places.

Could it be that he is really a flying fairy from heaven?

"You know mercury, right? The expansion coefficient of mercury is large. Ah, you haven't learned the expansion coefficient yet. I will mention it in the advanced tutorial in the literacy class. The expansion coefficient refers to the increase in length, area, and volume of an object when it is heated. In general, the expansion coefficient is related to the temperature. Generally speaking, the larger the expansion coefficient, it means that it will expand to a greater extent when heated."

Luo Qingzhou recorded frantically and kept nodding. This was all knowledge from the advanced class. He was probably the first to come into contact with this piece of knowledge in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

How can he be considered a pioneer!

"Mercury is very sensitive to temperature changes, so it is the best material to use as a thermometer. And glass, you should know, I mentioned it in the intermediate class course!"

"Yes, you said that glass is like colored glaze, except that the glass is more brittle and has better light transmission. There will be no bubbles inside and the inner quality will be more uniform and clear. If it can be produced, it can be used to install windows. This way From now on, people’s homes will be brighter!”

"That's right, and glass has more uses. It can not only be used as decoration, but also as experimental equipment for precise control."

"So if we want to make a thermometer now, we have to make the glass first."

"That's the truth." Xu Zhenying talked for a long time before realizing that he had gone too far. "Back to the cement thing, I remember that I gave you a recipe before. The ingredients were written on it, but the specific ratio of ingredients was not written. I suggest you first To control one of the variables, such as this quicklime, you first control its change. First increase the proportion by 20%, 40%, and 60%, while keeping the amounts of other substances unchanged. In this way, all the materials inside are controlled in turn. Find that ratio slowly.”

Luo Qingzhou immediately felt like Alexander.

These few fluttering words require so much experimentation and so much waste of raw materials.

"That iron pot, didn't I ask the blacksmith to make a big one last time? It will definitely not be enough for mass production in the future. You have to contact colleagues from other departments in the institute to see if they can improve it."

"City Lord, there is also the last grinding process. Manual work is too slow and the strength is not enough. I have tried grinding and sifting using a donkey-pulled stone grinding method before, and the effect is pretty good. But I also have the same problem. There is no way to put it into mass production.”

"Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning. You should try to find a solution first. Since we want to get involved in the industrial industry, it is not enough to rely only on the current backward methods of labor and animal husbandry. By the way, how are you doing in physics?"

Luo Qingzhou cocked his head and smiled shyly, "Is it okay?"

Xu Anping smiled and said: "City Lord, don't listen to his modesty. He has already thoroughly read the physics book. He even led several enthusiastic researchers to reproduce many physics experiments in the book, such as two The iron balls hit the ground at the same time, such as labor-saving levers, and he even asked a carpenter to make fixed pulleys and movable pulleys to study how to lift heavy objects."

Xu Zhenying couldn't help but marvel. Could it be that she had met a legendary science genius?

The two talked by candlelight at night. Xu Zhenying was even more excited than Luo Qingzhou because she found that Luo Qingzhou was really a very smart person. She talked about those obscure mathematical knowledge points, such as three-dimensional equations, arithmetic sequences, etc. He can understand everything at a glance and can quickly draw inferences!

Is this the learning ability of a genius?

As for the few people who followed the Xu family, they had long been unable to hold them back from talking about such professional things.

Xu Huijia sat on the chair, fell asleep on her back, and even snored evenly.

Qian Zhenniang also kept nodding and dozing off.

Although Xu Yinxi tried her best to keep up, by the end of their conversation, she couldn't understand it at all and yawned several times.

The only one who can barely keep up is Xu Anping. She always seems to be extremely enthusiastic about knowledge that she has never been exposed to. Although she didn't speak, she was writing furiously with her notebook in hand, and it was obvious that she couldn't hide her excitement.

Three people, one talked, one asked, and the other listened, until the candles were almost burned out, and the intermittent sound of cockcrows came from outside.

Xu Yinxi yawned and finally couldn't help but remind him: "City Lord, it's almost dawn."

The three people looked outside in shock. Sure enough, there was a light fish belly white on the horizon. Xu Zhenying patted his head and saw everyone looked tired. He smiled angrily and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was so absorbed in chatting for a while that I forgot." You are still here.”

Xu Yinxi was helpless: "You really stay up all night and eat all day long!"

Xu Zhenying had been sitting for a long time and her legs were numb when she stood up. Xu Yinxi and Qian Zhenniang subconsciously reached out to pull her.

Luo Qingzhou's eyes twitched when he saw this scene.

What did he see?

Xu Yinxi and Qian Zhenniang actually held hands with the city lord?

So...as the rumors say, the city lord is a woman? At this moment, under Luo Qingzhou's silent appearance, he seemed to be speaking vigorously on the inside.

It's just that he was naturally a little dull, so he couldn't tell how excited he was.

Xu Zhenying looked at him with a smile: "Luo Qingzhou, are you interested in becoming the dean of the research institute? The monthly salary is ten taels of silver, which includes room allocation and medical treatment."

Luo Qingzhou asked stupidly: "What does the dean do?"

"Manage all the people and property of the institute, improve the level of the institute, and advance research on cement, glass, and thermometers as soon as possible according to my requirements. When necessary, you also need to cooperate with merchants and ask them to invest funds to maintain research and find common ground. The mutually beneficial cooperation model allows the entire institute to operate more efficiently and promotes the continuous development of human society——"

Xu Yinxi and Qian Zhenniang looked at each other.

Here she comes again.

She came with the pie of "struggle for life for human progress".

It has to be said that when they first heard it, their blood was still boiling. They had a vague illusion that they were the chosen one, and they just wanted to shed their blood for her immediately.

But after listening to it more, they understood that this was no kind of human progress. It was clearly Xu Zhenying who was painting pie every day! !

It’s still the overnight one! There is no need to change the formula! The same cake, heat it up and feed it to the next person!

Xu Zhenying obviously just took a fancy to other people's hard work!

Xu Yinxi and Qian Zhenniang looked at Luo Qingzhou with some sympathy.

Hey, what wonderful leeks, they are about to be harvested.

I am afraid that these relaxed and happy days will never happen again.

Luo Qingzhou rarely maintained restraint, "City Lord, I'm only seventeen years old. There are many people in the institute who are older than me and have more experience than me. I'm afraid... I'm not qualified enough..."

Xu Anping smiled and said, "Ronald, you don't have to belittle yourself. You have the best grades and the highest enthusiasm for research in the institute. The current research trend is rare in a century. If you don't take advantage of the opportunity given by the city lord to do a good job." Fan, aren’t you letting down the city lord and yourself?”

Luo Qingzhou wanted to refuse, but he was really moved.

His ancestor was a criminal and was sent here. Although he could take the imperial examination after three generations and the whole family's hopes were on him, he really couldn't get into it.

He didn't understand those obscure and difficult-to-pronounce words and the sages' teachings in the book, and he didn't want to understand them. In his opinion, aren't those principles, after all, just tools to teach people how to behave themselves and maintain the rule of the dynasty?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this to anyone.

It wasn't until there was chaos in Lan County and Xu Zhenying entered the city that he discovered that studying was so interesting. He was as comfortable as a fish leaping into the ocean, eager to absorb nutrients. He couldn't wait to discover the laws of all things in the world!

He even felt that he could transcend nature and become the man standing on the shoulders of giants!

What's more, Xu Zhenying doesn't know how long he can stay in Lan County. If he doesn't take advantage of this time to come up with earth-shattering inventions, he will never have such an opportunity again!

Thinking of this, Luo Qingzhou almost trembled and said: "I do!"

"City Lord, I will work hard and research what you want as soon as possible! But I also hope that you, hey, I hope you will come to the institute more often. I still have many questions to ask you."

He is frank and straightforward, and does not know how to be roundabout at all. Xu Zhenying really likes this kind of person. People who engage in scientific research must be pure and don't have so many tricks!

"Okay, if you have any questions about research, just come to me!" Xu Zhenying smiled and patted his shoulder. Luo Qingzhou suddenly thought that the city lord was a girl, his cheeks were burning, and he felt that the place where she patted her was slightly numb. .

Xu Anping looked at this student who was once the most diligent and studious student and always knocked her down in class. His eyes were full of joy, and he felt a sense of pride in his heart.

By training the director of a research institute, Xu Anping can be considered a contribution to Lan County and the city lord!

If those cement, glass and other things that the city lord said can change the world appear, then won't Xu Anping be famous in history?

Thinking of this, Xu Anping couldn't restrain his excitement.

However, after Xu Yinxi walked out of the courtyard of the institute, she frowned and said: "The city lord is too bold in hiring people. I see that Luo Qingzhou is only seventeen years old. Although his cultural theory achievements are nothing to say, he is a bit simple after all. If you don’t know how to manage or control people, I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep up with the other veterans in the institute.”

Laoyoutiao is Xu Zhenying's mantra.

Refers to the kind of officials who have certain qualifications but are slippery.

When Xu Yinxi heard it for the first time, she felt that the lyrics were exquisite.

Xu Zhenying said with a smile: "You have to give young people a chance. He has such a strong learning ability, and management must be no problem. If it doesn't work, give him a deputy. One will be in charge of technology, and the other will be in charge of logistics." "

"That being said, he is too young."

Xu Anping smiled: "Fourth sister, Luo Qingzhou is older than you and me."

Xu Yinxi was stunned for a moment and felt that she was a little funny, "Yes, I forgot that I am also a yellow-haired girl in the eyes of others."

"It is rare to find a seventeen-year-old director of a research institute, and it is even rarer to find a seventeen-year-old county magistrate." Xu Zhenying smiled and patted Xu Yinxi on the shoulder, "Secretary Xu, pack up and go to Ye County to take up your post."

Xu Yinxi was stunned.

Others in the car were also stunned.

It was Qian Zhenniang who reacted first and pulled Xu Yinxi excitedly, "Sister Xu, congratulations!"

Xu Yinxi seemed to have come back to her senses, and asked with some uncertainty: "Magistrate of Ye County, me?"
