Three Kingdoms: I Am Not an Ant Thief Chapter 690: Less murderous
In addition to this amusement park, what the people of Jidu are discussing the most this time is the newly established Mechanical University and the examination. Although it does not rely on officials like the imperial examination, it only takes a few years to become a student of the Mechanical University.
After completing the course, you can join the steam engine factory as a skilled worker and get a high-paying job with a monthly salary of tens of thousands.
Such a good thing is already good news for ordinary people. They, a small family, are not from a wealthy family. God has blessed them to be able to find such a high-paying job. Why are they still picky?
Of course, the average family is still self-aware. The children in most families have been educated in reading and literacy for several years. They are barely educated people and then start looking for jobs to support themselves. They have no conditions to further their education to high school level. And this exam
But the exam is based on questions from high school books, which is more than 10 times more difficult than the imperial examination.
You can also take the Universiade examination in the imperial examination, but in the entrance examination of the University of Mechanical Engineering, people who have never studied can't even understand the questions, let alone the exam.
Those who can actually take the exam are at least those from middle-class families, or those who have only studied high school books. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people with this kind of education in the entire Daqian, and there are probably tens of thousands of people who come to take the exam.
The only ones who may be more likely to be candidates are the candidates from Jidu. The examination venue is not far from home anyway, and they want to try their luck. The cost is not high anyway.
But this time, many wealthy families from the south accompanied the exams with their family members. These people made Jidu now overcrowded. This exam was an opportunity to change the fate of many people and their families.
The children of noble families who have not yet left the Han Dynasty want to be admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering to continue the family inheritance. The children of ordinary people want to be admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering and want to change their own destiny. The children of merchants want to be admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering. They
It is for the opportunity to learn how to make steam engines so that my family can also build a steam engine factory. You must know that steam engines are now the most profitable industry in the world. Jidu Steam Engine Factory made 200 million yuan in one month, and the profits are still there
With rapid growth, this has now become the most profitable industry in Daqian.
People from all walks of life gathered in Jidu, and they were all middle-class and above families. For a while, no empty rooms could be found in the inns in Jidu.
Amidst such commotion, Mr. Shui Jing brought his disciples to Jidu.
The group of them looked around. They saw that Jidu was full of crowded people. Horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts and people on horseback crowded the cement roads several miles wide. Traffic jams appeared in Jidu thousands of years in advance!
The houses on both sides of the road are also extremely tall. Anyone who comes here for the first time will feel dizzy, as if they are in Lilliput. In such a strange environment, the nobles in Jingzhou are a little frightened, and with a few
Balao from the countryside is nervous about moving into the city!
However, Xu Shu, who has traveled far and wide, praised: "I have been traveling for many years, but even Luoyang City is not as prosperous as Jidu today. Yanzi said that Linzi City sweated like rain and waved its sleeves to block the sun. Jidu today is even more prosperous than Linzi back then!"
Pang Tong said in shock: "These high-rise buildings are all made of cement. They are simply small fortresses. From this point of view, there are thousands of such high-rise buildings in Jidu. No wonder Lei Gong doesn't use city walls to defend Jidu. With these thousands of small forts, even a million-strong army cannot attack Jidu!"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Shi Yuan may have forgotten the power of today's artillery. No city wall can withstand the bombardment of hundreds of artillery. It can be said that after the emergence of artillery, the city wall is useless and has become an obstacle to the city." Development restrictions are the reason why cities in Daqian do not build city walls."
Then Zhuge Liang wondered: "This Jidu is so big, with such a population, and this exam has brought together the world's elites. Where should we live?"
It would be fine if there were only students like them. Whether it is an inn or a residential building, there is always a way to solve it. But now that there are hundreds of people in their group, and there are also female students, it may be difficult to accommodate them!
At this time, Huang Yancheng, Pang De and Sima Jing were also discussing the next move.
Huang Yancheng and Pang Degong said helplessly: "We don't have any close friends in Youzhou. Do you, De Cao, have any close friends in Ji?"
Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong were both local tyrants in Jingzhou, but they did not have many friends in the Central Plains. Although later, under the attack of Daqian, a large number of Central Plains nobles and nobles came south to Jingzhou, but these people came to rob Jingzhou's interests. It would be better if these local snakes and the powerful nobles who went south didn't fight each other. It was impossible for them to have any friendship at all.
Now the retribution has come. They didn't make friends at first. After they were driven out of Jingzhou, they became stray dogs. They couldn't find a place to settle down! They didn't have any friends in Jidu.
Sima Hui was a little better than them. He was from Yangzhai in Yingchuan. He fled to Jingzhou during Dong Zhuo's chaos and was accepted by the nobles in Jingzhou. However, the nobles in Yingchuan were powerful and they were also a powerful force in the Central Plains. Political power, although now under the attack of Da Qian, the strength of all the noble families in the world has been greatly reduced, but the Yingchuan noble family has been under the rule of Da Qian for many years. Logically speaking, there should be many Yingchuan nobles in Jidu. People from Sichuan, and these people should all know Sima Jing, so they can only look at him.
Sima Jing said helplessly: "I have contacted my friend Xun Yue. His family also has a business in Jidu, and I think he can help us solve the resettlement problem!"
At this moment, a carriage came in front of them, and a Confucian scholar who came out was Xun Yue. He was surprised and said to Sima Jing: "De Cao, you are finally here!"
Sima Jing smiled bitterly and said: "You also know what happened in Jingzhou. Now I have brought the students to seek refuge with you. I just ask you to find a way to accommodate them so that these students can have a stable environment for the examination. When the examination is completed, they will Everyone is trying to find a way to settle down!"
Xun Yue felt the same when he heard this and said: "Thunder God's murderous nature has decreased a lot in the past two years. I am lucky to be alive."
If this were the powerful noble family in Bingzhou, I'm afraid most of the people here would be exiled to the desert! Because of the relationship between the Xun family and Da Qian, most of the family's children followed Cao Cao to Crab Island, and Lei Gong killed them. There are very few noble families in the entire Central Plains. Now the noble families in Jingzhou can still move freely, but they are not allowed to go to the south of the Yangtze River. This is already lucky among the noble families everywhere.
Xun Yue said: "I have found a place suitable for your exams, which is enough for you to live in Jidu for a while!"
After saying this, Xun Yue began to summon a dozen large transport carriages to let the students following Sima Jing gradually go to their destination.
