Otherwise, why would he, as a vassal king, pay attention to a candidate who was rushing to the capital for the examination?
"Your Highness, please!" Wang Chengen said expressionlessly.
Zuo Guangdou hesitated for a moment before sighing. He walked to the door of a room and gently knocked on the door knocker.
The door creaked open, and a skinny, dark-skinned young man walked out. He cupped his fists at Zuo Guangdou and said," I'm studying hard. I wonder if you have any instructions for me?"”
"His Highness Prince Xin wants to see you." Zuo Guangdou said casually, but he was extremely nervous in his heart. Could it be that Prince Xin wanted to harm him?
There was no reason!
With a lot of thoughts, Zuo Guangdou followed Wang Chengen and walked step by step to the War Bureau. Seeing that Shi Kefa's clothes were a little wrinkled, he reached out to help him stretch them.
In an empty room in the War Bureau, several bright lamps were lit. Zhu Youjian stood in front of a blackboard and was teaching artillery shooting techniques to the selected East Chamber foreigners and soldiers selected from the new army of the Jingzhao Prefecture.
On each of their tables was a small and exquisite copper cannon.
"Lord Zuo, please sit. Brother Shi, please sit!”Seeing the two of them enter, Zhu Youjian called them to sit at the back and continued to explain the parabola principle.
Zuo Guangdou looked at the messy lines on the blackboard. He was confused and uninterested. He turned to fiddle with the small bronze cannon on the table.
The small cannon was exquisitely made. The hub could be turned, the breech could be opened and closed, and it could even be loaded with gunpowder to fire bullets.
"It's just a strange skill!" Zuo Guangdou fiddled with it for a while and sneered. However, he still couldn't help but fiddle with it a few times.
" There are three factors that affect the shooting distance. One is the burning speed of the gunpowder, the second is the weight of the projectile, and the third is the sealing effect of the barrel..." Zhu Youjian said as the East Chamber and the new army soldiers recorded on paper. If they did not understand, they raised their hands and asked questions.
" Next, we'll talk about the coordinated combat of infantry and cannons..." Zhu Youjian glanced at Shi Kefa, who was listening attentively, nodded slightly and turned to a new page.
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the two-hour class was over. The foreign students and the new soldiers stood up and walked to Zhu Youjian's side. They bowed to him one by one and turned to leave the classroom.
Another group of students who had been waiting outside hurried in and bowed to Zhu Youjian.
What surprised Shi Kefa was that this group of burly and powerful students were actually holding abacuses!
Could it be that His Highness Prince Xin knew how to be a shopkeeper?
Craftsmen made things, merchants calculated, Confucian scholars despised them! A dignified vassal king was actually obsessed with this. Pathetic and lamentable!
" Time is of the essence, so I won't waste any more time. Today, we are going to teach a finance course…"
Zuo Guangdou was bored, so he simply leaned back in his chair and listened to Zhu Youjian's lecture. However, after listening to it, he suddenly felt that his eyes were suddenly open, as if this 15-year-old young prince had opened a new door of knowledge for him!
With his keen awareness, he immediately recognized the importance of this knowledge to governing the entire country. He gave Shi Kefa a look." Xianzhi, learn carefully. These things will be of great benefit to you in the future to help the country and assist the king!”
"Yes, teacher!" Shi Kefa picked up a pen and wrote down the contents on the blackboard one by one, trying to figure out the mysteries.
Another two hours passed before Zhu Youjian finally let out a long sigh and announced the end of the class.
"If Lord Zuo and Brother Shi are interested, you can come back tomorrow.”Zhu Youjian patted Shi Kefa's shoulder and smiled.
Shi Kefa didn't dare to answer and looked at Zuo Guangdou.
"Your Highness's kindness, this old man is extremely grateful. I'll come again tomorrow!”After listening to these two lessons, Zuo Guangdou's understanding of Prince Xin seemed to have changed quite a bit. This young prince's **
Confucius said: Three people walk together, there must be my teacher…Well, well, well, it's best not to mention Confucius in front of the young prince, otherwise it will be awkward again.
Seeing everyone off, Wang Chengen stepped forward and sighed faintly." Your Highness invited all the officials of Donglin. I'm so tired that my legs are tired, but only Zuo Yizhi came. Sigh, these officials of Donglin really don't put Your Highness in their eyes.”
"Ignore those rotten wood. It's getting late. Everyone, go back and rest early!”
Everyone responded and scattered like birds and beasts.
Zhu Youjian raised his head and looked at the starry sky. There were thousands of words in his heart, but he did not know where to start.
I actually transmigrated to this world. I'll do my best to save this world!
This was the historical responsibility of every transmigrator!
Slowly, Zuo Guangdou discovered a fatal problem. Recently, Shi Kefa had been going to the War Bureau to study every day before dawn. He would only come back late at night and study hard until late at night.
He was a little angry. He was so obsessed with armaments and abandoned his studies. He really let down this old man's painstaking efforts!
But thinking about it, hadn't he been attending classes at the War Bureau every night for the past month?
In fact, he had long had doubts in his heart. Astronomy, calendar, construction, armament manufacturing, finance, taxation, economy, were these really all strange skills that saints disdained?
Not necessarily!
