Liu Jianye did not leave. No one chased him away.
People at the Kyushu Institute of Physics continue to study the third generation steam engine. Life has returned to normal, but Liu Jianye is completely regarded as air. No one cares about his existence or non-existence.
People at Kyushu Institute of Physics have long been accustomed to this. Their discussion of science is never hidden.
The door of Jiuzhou Institute of Physics is open at any time, anyone can come in, and no one will be turned away. Everyone discussed it in the yard.
Outside the door, there are villagers from Dafengtai. There are people from Laoshan County. Onlookers from all over the place came to watch. But everyone is very conscious and has the quality not to come in. Just listen outside. Everyone is used to this way of getting along.
And Liu Jianye gradually started to get used to it. He sat in the shade and watched the group of teenagers discussing loudly in the yard without hiding any secrets. Start thinking about why they are like this.
Thinking began to change.
From the first time Li Zhen said those words, he felt disdain, ridicule, and disapproval. Now, start to think about why.
Liu Jianye did not let his entourage in, so he sat alone in the shade and thought:
"What exactly are they planning?"
Picture what
He couldn't understand.
He is a businessman, and his favorite thing in life is to see other people's money fall into his pocket. He feels that everyone has a purpose in everything they do.
But now I'm confused. He couldn't guess what these teenagers were planning.
Today, everyone just finished the meeting. Li Zhen clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, let's eat."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that hundreds of officials were already standing neatly outside.
As soon as the meeting ended, a shout came from outside the door: "The governor is here!"
Feng Naien, governor of Dongzhou Prefecture, arrived.
In fact, I have been here a long time ago, more than two hours ago. Officials accompanied him along the way, including the princess of Qingdao County and the father of Laoshan County Governor Liu Jinghong. All those who came were high-ranking officials.
But when they arrived at the open door of Jiuzhou Institute of Physics, no one chose to come in. Everyone stood waiting outside the door with a tacit understanding. After Li Zhen and others ended the meeting, someone went to call the governor to arrive.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of officials filing in. Then, a group of people wearing bright red official robes strode in.
The leader, a man who was nearly sixty years old, walked up to Li Zhen with a smile: "Is this Li Zhen, the dean of the Kyushu Institute of Physics and the number one scholar in the empire?"
Li Zhen nodded and saluted Feng Naien: "That's right."
"I am Feng Naien, Governor of Dongzhou Prefecture. I have long said that I would personally come to inspect this proud place of yours. However, I have been busy recently and have not come until today."
Li Zhen said with some shame: "I didn't know in advance that Mr. Feng was coming. I have been waiting for a long time. Please forgive me..."
"Hahaha, it's important for you to do science. I'll be fine if I wait a little longer. Is the meal ready? Hey, I haven't eaten yet, do you mind treating me to a meal?"
After Feng Naien finished speaking, Liu Zehui hurriedly stepped forward: "The governor is being polite to them, sit down wherever you want. Jinghong, set the table, what are you doing standing still?"
Yanagisawa Megumi is not surprised at all, his son is quite outstanding here.
Feng Nai'en was a little surprised, thinking that the Laoshan County Sheriff had a good relationship with these teenagers.
Li Zhen quickly smiled and invited the adults to take their seats. Naturally, the officials set up tables and benches to eat in the yard.
As soon as the tables, chairs and benches were set up and everyone was seated, Liu Jianye came over consciously, found a place to sit down, and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Governor. Hey, Princess Xu (the Princess of Qingdao County), you are here too."
Feng Naien and the two were surprised: "Why are you here too?"
Liu Jianye smiled bitterly: "I'm here to spread the wealth, but others don't agree."
Feng Naien rolled his eyes and did not ask in detail. He knew that Feng Naien was a businessman and he must be looking for Li Zhen to make money, so he couldn't ask more questions.
At the same time, what surprised Feng Nai'en was that the state and mode of getting along with everyone was confusing. Why does it feel so casual
What surprised him even more was what came next. After a while, someone outside shouted: "It's time to eat!"
Then, a large group of villagers from Dafengtai filed in chatting and laughing. They didn't care about official duties at all. They set up tables and benches for each of them, and then found a place to sit down by themselves.
"This..." Feng Naien was surprised and was speechless for a long time.
Yanagisawa explained with a smile: "We at the Kyushu Institute of Physics ate with the fishermen from Dafengtai. We paid them food fees on time, so their meals were delivered by the villagers when it was time to eat. Over time, Everyone might as well come to the Kyushu Institute of Physics to dine as soon as it’s time for dinner. It’s convenient.”
Feng Naien asked Li Zhen: "This won't affect you, right?"
Li Zhen shook his head: "No, no. No one disturbs us when we are working, they just listen quietly. It is not busy when eating, everyone sits at the same table and chats, which is also lively. Chat with them Chatting can also relax you.”
"oh."
Feng Naien nodded, but still felt something was wrong. He only felt that there was something strange about the Jiuzhou Institute of Physics. This way of getting along was too strange. He had never sat at the same table with ordinary people to eat.
The most important thing is that he feels that Kyushu Institute of Physics is a scientific research base and should have a very rigorous style. How can it be made like a big square in the village, where anyone can come and move around as they please.
During the meal, I just saw Li Zhen and the others chatting and chatting with the fishermen, talking and laughing while eating. Except for the subordinate officials, no one paid any attention to him...
After finishing the meal, the villagers of Dafengtai spontaneously removed the tables and chairs, collected the leftovers, and then left consciously and silently. Then the Kyushu Institute of Physics returned to calm, as if those villagers had never appeared...
This is a very harmonious state. The villagers all like to be exposed to the academic atmosphere of these young scientists, but the Kyushu Institute of Physics never excludes anyone and is very inclusive. Everyone was very happy.
Feng Naien saw that after dinner, they were about to start research work again, and no one asked him what he was doing. He quickly took the time to say, "Li Zhen, I came here to tell you something."
"Master Feng, please speak."
"It's like this. Dongzhou has approved five hundred thousand coins as a reward for you and a subsidy for scientific research funds. It can be regarded as an incentive for you to make continuous progress."
Li Zhen was ecstatic: "Really?"
"Is there still a lie? At the same time, I also got news that the imperial edict is coming soon. The court seems to have allocated funds to you. I don't know how much it will be."
"This is great!"
Li Zhen clapped his hands excitedly, turned to Liu Jinghong and said excitedly: "With funds, your idea can also be tested."
Feng Naien wondered: "Do you have any other ideas?"
Li Zhen nodded: "Yes. The finished product of the third-generation steam engine is about to be built and will be tested soon. And the main content of our discussion now is no longer the principle of the steam engine."
"Why? This... how can we not discuss the steam engine? Don't be too ambitious, you must be down-to-earth." Feng Naien was anxious. Don't do your work half-heartedly. Just perfect it in one go.
Li Zhen said with a smile: "We are now mainly discussing the different uses of steam engines in different places. It is not only used for carriages, it has many more uses."
Feng Naien turned around and stared at Qingdao County Princess, unable to understand.
