Ever since he time traveled, Su Hao has been thinking about what he should do. Earning some money and taking care of himself and his family are definitely the first steps to consider. Now it seems that it is not difficult to do this. He has skills.
, just getting some skills is enough to get a good position. Every dynasty and every generation needs people to do the work. Even if he can't handle the palace politics of the Ming Dynasty, there is no problem in being a technical official with peace of mind, right?
After you have enough food and clothing, what should you consider next?
Su Hao also enjoyed a life of fine clothing and fine food in his previous life. No matter how well he lived in the Ming Dynasty, could he have a fancy car? Can he have a crazy love? Can he fly to the Maldives to bask in the sun?
Being an extremely human minister was not something Su Hao was pursuing. In fact, before he traveled through time, he was already able to enjoy deputy bureau-level treatment. If he wanted to be an official, there would be no obstacle to becoming a deputy director in the ministry.
Then, it’s not too difficult to be promoted step by step and become a deputy department member before retirement, but what’s the point?
From the day he chose to study geology, Su Hao's interest has been focused on his major. In his opinion, awakening mineral deposits that have been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years under thick rock formations, or surveying a railway line in the ancient wasteland,
That sense of accomplishment is the most worthy of pursuit. He still remembers the song an old geological team member taught him during his first field internship:
It's the wind in the valley
Blowing our team flag
It's the violent rain
Cleaned our tent
We have a burning passion
Overcome all fatigue and cold
Carrying our luggage
Climbing the mountains...
He will never forget the pride, the pride, the blood-throbbing feeling when a group of strong men carried tripods and geological bags and sang this song towards the vast mountains.
.
By chance, a 21st century geologist like him came to the Ming Dynasty more than 400 years ago. He recalled the humiliation that China suffered due to the decline of its national power in later generations, and the sweat and even lives that generations of people have devoted to revitalizing the country.
He has a strong desire: to change everything!
While the Ming Dynasty has not yet declined, while the Western powers have just risen, he wants to make the wheel of history take another track.
What I can change may only be a little bit, but it will eventually shake up the entire history! Su Hao thought silently in his heart.
What Fang Mengjin and Wu Zhicheng think about is far less complicated than Su Hao. In their minds, the Ming Dynasty is still a huge country. The so-called Folangji, well, as Su Hao has introduced, what else is there?
, France, the Netherlands and the like are just small countries with a population of less than one million and a land area equivalent to one prefecture and one state of the Ming Dynasty. What kind of waves can they create?
"Change it, um, this is a good name." Wu Zhicheng nodded and praised, "Change it, I will call you this name from now on, you won't blame me for being presumptuous, right?"
"How dare you? It's only natural for teachers to call students by their names." Su Hao replied.
There is a word that saves Su Hao the embarrassment when dealing with these old guys. Fang Mengjin called him "Brother Su" one after another, and Wu Zhicheng called him "Mr. Su", which seemed too unfamiliar. But
It seems too polite to ask them to call themselves by their own names. Now that they have a word, the other party can call them by their own name. This is more in line with the rules for elders to address younger generations.
According to the ancient system, a man cannot be given a name until he is 20 years old and has received the crown ceremony. The character is used to express virtue. Generally speaking, the name is a ritual, and the character depends on the name. The name is the root of the character, and the character is the end of the name.
However, as a time traveler, Su Hao didn't understand so many rules. Besides, by the late Ming Dynasty, many ancient systems had been abandoned, and it was common for teenagers to use the same name.
The students in the academy who had been selected to participate in well digging had already been prepared and were waiting in the yard. Seeing Su Hao and others coming out of the dining hall, the students gathered around and asked Wu Zhicheng and Fang Mengjin first.
He saluted, and then asked Su Hao impatiently:
"Brother Su, I wonder what kind of knowledge is needed for well exploration?"
"Master Su, I heard that there are many strange things in this Western learning. Does it conflict with my Ming theory?"
"Master, do you think that with my talent and ability, if I study with you for a few days, will I be able to do anything?"
"..."
Everyone was noisy and noisy. When Wu Zhicheng was about to scold him, Su Hao waved his hand and stopped him. He smiled and said to the sentient beings:
"Brothers, Western learning is indeed unique, but with the wisdom of my Chinese students, it is not difficult to master Western learning and surpass it. If you are interested, we can learn from each other another day. Today, please follow me to the county government office.
Let’s do a preliminary training, and then we will go to the field to conduct exercises and learn while doing it. By the way, my surname is Su Minghao, please change it to it, you can just call me by my cousin from now on.”
"Haha, Master Su is really approachable and open-minded. No wonder he is so talented and learned even when he is still young. Anyway, I will take the liberty of calling you my brother." The members of the sentient beings responded with laughter. Most of them were older than
Su Hao was older and considered himself to be quite talented. He had long been unwilling to address Su Hao as a master. Now that Su Hao was being polite, everyone naturally followed the steps and changed their words to brothers.
After deciding on their respective titles, everyone left the academy chatting and laughing and walked to the county government office. Because there were so many people participating in the training that the dormitory of the workshop could not accommodate them, Fang Mengjin arranged for everyone to live in a dormitory called Dongge.
The place is actually a relatively large reception room in the county government office, which can accommodate more than 30 people.
The students each found a place to sit down, sitting in several rows as usual in the academy. Fang Mengjin and Wu Zhicheng sat in the first row. There was a coffee table in front of them, and there were fruits, tea, etc. This is the treatment of leaders.
.
Dai Qi also came with the government officials from the workshop. Su Hao said that no matter whether they could understand or not, they had to participate in the training. Because Su Hao's arrangement for the government officials was to serve as assistants to these students, even if they could not
I don’t understand the content of the training, but after listening to it once, I will at least know how to cooperate with the students.
The government officials were usually very dignified in front of the people. Seeing a room full of scholars, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. What's more, Fang Mengjin was sitting in the front row seriously. How could anyone dare to make a mistake? They moved the benches one by one to sit.
Behind the students, not to mention cursing as usual, they even looked around to take a breath.
"The little man Dai Qi gives his regards to Master Fang and Wu Jiaoyu." Dai Qi ran to the front row, saluted Fang Meng Jin and Wu Zhicheng, and then said to Su Hao: "Master Su, as you ordered, I will
Everyone from the workshop has been brought here, and there are some brothers from other rooms who want to listen to Master Su’s lectures, so I also asked them to come, you see..."
"It doesn't matter, this lesson is not confidential." Su Hao said.
After everyone sat down, Su Hao began to lecture. He set up a board in front of him and hung a large piece of paper on it. He took his charcoal pen and wrote the content of the lecture on the big paper. There was no way, time
In his haste, he didn't have time to invent chalk, so he had to do this instead.
"Everyone, you all must know the purpose of inviting you here, which is to dig wells. I am not talented and have learned some methods of surveying well locations. However, I was mistakenly loved by the magistrate and ordered me to be responsible for the entire county.
Well location survey. Fengcheng County is very wide, and there are many well locations to be surveyed. It is difficult for me to complete this work by myself, so I ask for your help."
Su Hao didn't expect to be able to teach a room of people how to judge underground hydrological conditions in one class. What he needed was just some helpers who could do some routine surveying work for him. Even so, he had to
Let me first introduce to you the composition of the earth's crust, the formation mechanism of mountains, rivers and lakes, the distribution rules of groundwater, etc. Su Hao has explained these contents countless times in his previous life. Now facing a group of ancients, he will explain them again.
It's not difficult at all.
Su Hao tried his best to explain in a way that everyone could understand in this era. Even so, most of the audience could only understand half of it. The situation of the dozen students in the front row was better.
, each of them took a pen and quickly recorded what Su Hao said on paper. Even if they swallowed it whole, they had to eat it in their stomachs first, and then wait for it to be digested slowly.
Wu Zhicheng and Fang Mengjin, who were sitting at the front, did not take notes, but judging from their shining eyes, they had been attracted by Su Hao's explanation, and they had also understood a lot of truth, with expressions on their faces from time to time.
Showing the joy he felt when he first heard about the great road.
The government officials in the back row did not have such a good understanding. They were originally illiterate and could not even take notes. They could only take what they heard and make some impressions.
While giving lectures, Su Hao observed everyone, deciding which people could continue to be trained in the future and which people would have to be dismissed after this incident was over. After looking around, one person suddenly caught Su Hao's attention.
This person was sitting in the corner of the back row. He was wearing the clothes of a small official, but he was writing notes quickly with a pen like the clerk in the front row. Compared with other officials, his figure was slightly thinner.
The performance is also different from that of the officials.
The officials in the county government are so accustomed to it that sitting in this classroom and listening quietly is a kind of torture for them. So even though they are extremely cautious, their sitting postures are still the same.
It staggers around and twists a few times from time to time, as if the stool is full of thorns.
But the thin little official sat there very steadily, without any discomfort, and every move he made seemed so quiet and elegant. Most of the time, he kept his head down, just writing on the paper, and occasionally
When he raised his head and looked forward, his eyes were sparkling and full of charm...
Wait! A thought flashed through Su Hao's mind. Why do I think this person's eyes are amorous? My sexual orientation is obviously normal!
Taking a closer look at the man, I saw that he had beautiful features, red lips and white teeth, and fair skin on his wrists and neck. Although he was wearing a soap robe, you could still see his round shoulders. This did not resemble the physical characteristics of a man.
Seeing this, Su Hao couldn't help but laugh in his heart, girl, you are such a man!
