Han Dao world

Chapter 1240
Han Rong was nearly eighty years old, and he was the son of the fourth eldest son of Yingchuan. His seniority was very high. Mrs. Tang and others were juniors in front of him.In addition, Han Rong's personality is free and easy, not so rigid, and the atmosphere of the conversation is very harmonious.

Hearing these women personally describe their situation over the years, Han Rong felt deeply and felt a little regretful.

From these people, there are not many shadows left by the war.In front of him are cheerful, lively, confident and calm women who not only manage the house well, but are also very dedicated to their work and full of pride.

It is hard to imagine that they have suffered such ordeal.

He was even more gratified by the vigor and vigor of those young women who had not suffered any hardships and had just grown up.

Although their backgrounds are very ordinary, they have caught up with the good times. Not only have they received about two years of education, they can read and write, and they can support themselves with their own hands.Such a woman will become a mother in the future, and the children she will cultivate will be more confident and cheerful, and the next generation will go further and more steadily.

The reborn man is like the rising sun, with a bright future ahead.

In the past ten years, he missed a lot.

After visiting the bookstore and having a sumptuous working meal in the bookstore, Han Rong rushed out of the city.

From a distance, he saw the arch bridge.

It was more magnificent than he had imagined, and it seemed to be much higher than the city wall not far away.Even without getting close, he could feel the pressure brought by this huge body.

In front of the car and the bridge, Han Rong raised his neck and took a closer look.

The main body of the bridge is made of stones, the base is thick, and it is buried in the soil, so it is hard to see how deep it is.The gaps between the stones are tight and seamless.There are steps on the bridge deck, separated by three smooth ramps on the left, middle and right.A group of children were sitting on the ramp playing and sliding down from the top of the bridge, cheering excitedly.

Han Rong got out of the car and climbed up the steps to the top of the bridge.

Holding on to the railing and looking down at the water, he was a little dizzy.

"It's really high." Han Rong said with emotion: "I'm afraid there are six or seven feet?"

"Eight feet and one foot from the water surface." A crisp voice came from behind. "It is in line with the number ninety-nine returns to one."

Han Rong turned his head and saw a little girl with buns behind her back, standing behind him, looking up at him.Seeing him turn around, he smiled and said, "Old man is well. From your accent, you are from Wuyang, Yingchuan, right?"

Han Rong was very surprised. "How do you know I'm from Yingchuan Wuyang?"

"Recently, many people from Yingchuan have come to Wancheng, and I can recognize the accents of each county." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled. "Besides, I'm also from Yingchuan, from Yangdi. My name is Xin Xianying."

Han Rong couldn't help smiling. "It turned out to be a small township party. It was a pleasure to meet you. Since it is the Yang Di Xin family, I don't know who your father is, can I know his name?"

"My father's surname is Xin, Tabi, and his style name is Zuozhi. He is currently the governor of Youyan Dufu."

Han Rong was surprised.

Of course he knew who Simpi was, but he didn't expect to meet Simpi's daughter here.

"Are you studying here?" Han Rong saw the book in Xin Xianying's hand, which seemed to have pictures on it, which reminded him of seeing the schematic diagram of the arch bridge in the bookstore.

"Yes, it's the information about this bridge." Xin Xianying held up the book. "Others follow the diagram, but I follow the diagram to find the bridge. Only when you see the bridge with your own eyes, can you know how difficult it is to build and understand the beauty of those technologies."

Han Rong agreed.

This arch bridge is very large, and every stone under his feet is not small. It is hard for him to believe how such a large stone can be lifted so high, and installed tightly, without worrying about collapse.

Taking this opportunity, Han Rong asked Xin Xianying for advice.

Xin Xianying explained to Han Rong in detail, articulate and logical, as if she had seen it personally, and from time to time, one or two words that Han Rong could not understand came out of her mouth.After asking, I found out that this is a unique term for the bridge-building profession. Xin Xianying is studying this bridge-building monograph, and is preparing to take the ordnance department of the lecture hall.

Han Rong was very surprised and couldn't help asking: "Is it because of this bridge that you want to take the exam?"

"Of course, after the bridge is built, there will be a lot of people who want to learn how to build bridges. This year, the armory exam in the lecture hall will be very difficult, so I have to work harder."

Han Rong thought about it. "Didn't you think of going to ask Mr. Xun Gui? Your Xin family and Xun family are relatives by marriage."

"Because we are relatives-in-law, I can't even ask her for help." Xin Xianying said seriously: "Otherwise, after I enter school, the emperor will find out and will definitely test me. If I can't answer, it will be humiliating to the family. Is it a nobleman? Instead of doing that, why not take the exam on my own merits."

Han Rong couldn't help laughing, but also sighed.

Sure enough, it is the virtue of a gentleman and the virtue of a villain.The Son of Heaven is fair and just, and the officials dare not mess around.

Just as he was talking, a young man ran over. "Xianying, Xianying, why are you here again?"

Xin Xianying quickly hid the book in her sleeve and winked at Han Rong at the same time. "Goodbye, old man."

Han Rong smiled. "This is your brother?"

"My elder brother Xin Tao, he also wants to take the Ordnance Institute, but his studies are not as good as mine."

While talking, Xin Tao rushed to the front, and seeing Han Rong and Xin Xianying talking lively, he couldn't help but look at Han Rong twice more, and bowed his hands in salute.

Han Rong reported his name.

Xin Tao was taken aback, and quickly saluted again.Xin Xianying was also a little surprised, followed by saluting and apologizing.

Han Rong laughed loudly, and chatted with Xin Tao for a few words.

Xin Tao is very polite and considerate, but obviously not as calm as Xin Xianying.Han Rong asked him about building bridges, but he didn't know much about it, and he wasn't interested.From his words, Han Rong vaguely heard that it wasn't that he wanted to take the Ordnance Institute, but that there was no better choice.

The Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the administration of officials, and the passage of reading scriptures to become an official is almost cut off. Nowadays, it is even more difficult to take an exam to become an official.In contrast, it is easier to study wood science, agronomy and other practical studies.The reason for taking the ordnance examination is to hope to serve in the army in the future.

Han Rong immediately thought of Xun You and Xin Pi.

Xin Tao's mother is Xun You's aunt, and he is Xun You's cousin.If one can graduate from the Ordnance Institute, it will be a breeze to work in the Youyan Dufu Mansion.

After all, he still wanted to borrow the convenience of his family, rather than relying on his own ability.

Compared with Xin Xianying, he is far more than academically incompetent.

"Oh, by the way, where does Mr. Han live, and when will he be free? My uncle just came from Youyan Duhu Mansion. He heard that Mr. Han has come to Wancheng, and he wants to ask Mr. Han personally."

"Your uncle also came to Wancheng?"

"Yes. But he is only staying in Wancheng for a while, and he will soon go to Jiangnan. The Taiwei will accompany him. This year, the plans of the military mansions will be carried out."

Han Rong was in the middle of his arms and agreed.

After agreeing on a time and place, Xin Tao took Xin Xianying away.

Han Rong stood alone on the bridge, looking at the south of the Yangtze River, a little curious in his heart.

He also wanted to go to the south of the Yangtze River to meet him, to see how the emperor was different from the emperor in his impression, and why he could reverse the situation in this short ten years and make the great man recover from decline.
