"Master, the outside official said that he will try to release the list in the future."

The time for this time to be released was notified in advance.

After Xiaocha inquired about the news, he ran back all the way, his cheeks were hot, he looked very nervous before he was really on the list.

Qin Muwen was infected by his emotions. He was copying and practicing calligraphy according to the cursive script written by Li Jin. He couldn't sit still at this moment, and his heart was about to jump to his throat.

If the little leopard was crying, Qin Muwen would have to coax the child first, otherwise he would be nervous.

Recently, Li Jin remodeled the sailing ship model at the Dushui Qingli Division. He just said a rough idea before. He didn't expect the master of the Ministry of Engineering to actually make a small model.

The character'small' is only relative. This model is 19 feet and two minutes long (6.4 meters), three feet and two minutes wide (1.08 meters), the ship has pointed ends, and the belly (hull) is huge. The existing ships of the contemporary era, however, show a huge difference in appearance.

The larger the hull, the more cargo it carries. After all, a long voyage is not easy.

What surprised Li Jin most was that this small model made all the propellers and waterproof compartments he casually described!

With the waterproof compartment, the ship is safer when sailing.

Although these positions with sails, masts, and rudders have to be carefully considered, the entire model already has the style of a'far-going ship'.

It is precisely because of this that Li Jin has greater motivation and must work hard to build a long-distance ship for his country!

He had never had a deep understanding of this knowledge before he traveled. Even if he knew it, he had visited the "Great Britain" when he was studying abroad.

The largest steamship in the world at that time left a deep impression on Li Jin.

Originally, Li Jin didn't think he could make any quick results, but the craftsmanship of the master of the Ministry of Engineering really surprised him.

Therefore, he has been soaking in the Ministry of Industry only recently, working hard to make something.

Li Jin had seen a few words about Western countries in the collection of books that were not open to outsiders in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering.

He has also tested the tone of other people in the Ministry of Engineering, without exception, all claiming to be a'heavenly kingdom', thinking that the people outside are barbarians.

Li Jin was silent at the time. He thought that under such circumstances, even if the emperor said,'We have to develop industry, we will not be overtaken by other countries.' I am afraid everyone is skeptical.

Therefore, Li Jin never thought that just a few words can change everyone's attitude.

But Li Jin really had a sense of belonging to this dynasty.He just wanted to do his best to make something.

Perhaps it is not very useful now, but a hundred years later, it may be useful.

Just like the various records that Li Jin insists on writing every day, ranging from a few cents to the eggs in Hongyan Village and the capital, to the large part of the work arrangement, if it is discovered by future generations, it will have great research significance.

When Yuan Wailang saw Li Jin mingling with a group of craftsmen below, he rolled up his sleeves and held the wood to discuss matters with the masters. He looked attentive and devoted himself to building the voyage ship.

He suddenly had a bold idea--

"Li Jin, he probably didn't even think about being an extremely human minister!"

Otherwise, with Li Jin's current position as the official secretary of Dushui Qing, how can he do everything himself?

As long as Li Jin casually imparted some knowledge of shipbuilding engineering to others, he can gradually pass it to the ears of the minister and the master of Shangshu. In the future, his career will inevitably be smooth and stable.

But Li Jin didn't do this. When others asked him questions, he would answer them carefully.

But obviously, he spends most of his daily time in consultation with the shipbuilders.

He even moved wood to build the hull he wanted to construct.Not too tired, not too dirty, adjust the position of the propeller over and over again.

Yuan Wailang was stunned, until he was slapped on the shoulder, and he was about to say, "Blessings, how old are you and still playing this kind of tricks", only then remembered that Zhushan went to the library to check things today, not to the dock.

He has the largest official position in the entire dock. Who dares to shoot him like that?

When Yuan Wailang turned his head and saw Master Shang Shu's face directly, he was shocked, and he was about to bow his head.

Shang Shu helped him up and said, "Where is Li Jin?"

Yuanwailang: "...Li, Li Jin?"

Seeing Master Shang Shu's eyes, Yuan Wai Lang hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Master Hui, he is below, among the many masters, the youngest is him."

After Yuan Wailang finished speaking, he realized that Master Shang Shu had conveyed his words again, and his attitude was more respectful.

He was not a fool. At this moment, he also found that the entire upper deck of the dock was basically empty, replaced by guards standing in the dark.Then the people around Shangshu-sama must be too big for him to even think about.

Yuan Wailang looked down at the ground all the way, pretending that he didn't know anything.

After Master Shang Shu and the man had left, the man's boots and indigo blue robe seemed to reappear over and over again.

His Majesty became emperor only when he was in his fifties, and he was not trained as a prince when he was young, so he went out of the palace very smoothly.

He didn't make a special trip to see Li Jin. He just heard that Master Hui had recently returned to the temple, so he wanted to visit it.

When he saw the dock on the way back to the palace, his majesty asked casually: "Will I try the article written by Li Jin, but it is about the application and development of mathematics, water conservancy, and engineering?"

The great eunuch next to him tried to figure out the holy intention, but he was a good one, and immediately sent a guard to ask Li Jin is now in the dock, where is the letter of the Ministry of Industry.

Seeing that his Majesty remembered Li's name so clearly, another eunuch directly smiled and said: "That's it. I heard that he not only writes well in articles, but is also very generous. He never hides himself when talking about problems."

The emperor originally wanted to go down and have a look, but it happened that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was next to him today, and he passed by with him.

Even if the emperor went out of the palace today, even if he was in a private visit, he didn't wear a dragon robe, so he saved others from kneeling and knocking.Coupled with the presence of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Du Shuiqing's subordinates did not dare to speak against their superiors.

Therefore, Li Jin didn't even know that the emperor had actually come here, and even Yuanwailang didn't dare to think of the people coming to such a high status.

In the evening, after Li Jin returned home, the little bun ran over, intending to tell his father about the next day.

As a result, he got close and smelled the smell of wood on his father's body. He stood there hesitated for a moment, and still held his father's hand very much to his father's face.

No longer like when I was a child, there is a phrase of "daddy stinks" with milky milk.

Li Jin was warmed up by the kid, and coaxed him: "Take a little brother to play, dad will listen to you after the shower."

The little bun still stood in place: "Bun doesn't hate his dad. Daddy said, dad is very hard working outside to support the family. Daddy must be very tired now. Sit here and rest for a while, don't rush to take a bath, OK?

Li Jin smiled and asked, "Daddy taught you?"

Xiao Baozi hesitated for a while, nodded, and added: "Bao used to be too inconsiderate for Daddy."

Li Jin hugged him on the chair next to him and said, "Baozi has always been very good. What did you just want to say to Daddy?"

Li Jin shifted the topic away, and the little bun really started to explain to him when he was on the list. The little guy portrayed A-Daddy's nervous appearance very vividly.

He also took Li Jin's hand and said, "Don't worry, dad. You said that the results are not bad."

Li Jin smiled and didn't speak. It is now more and more that Xiao Baozi's linguistic talent has been inherited from his father. Such narrative ability is quite rare among his peers.

On the third day, before Chou Shi (1 to 3 a.m.) was over, Qin Muwen's breathing eased. He still kept the posture nestled in Li Jin's arms, his brain was sober, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

Li Jin grabbed his waist and let him lie on his body, "Wake up?"

Qin Muwen was very nervous: "Let's go to the Gongyuan to squat on the list."

Li Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?"

Qin Muwen was stunned, he just said casually, what the husband meant, did he really want to take him out?

The time of Chunwei's list is Chenshi, and the curfew will be lifted before Maoshi (five o'clock), and they can leave the city and go outside the Gongyuan to wait for the list.

If your home happens to be in the outer city, you don't have to wait for the morning bell or evening, you can wait outside the Gongyuan before the ugly hour.

Although so much early is not practical, but it can relieve the anxiety of the candidates and their families.

Of course, if there is something to do with the family, you can buy the people who deliver good news in the Gongyuan in advance to see if your children can be on the list.

But doing so is too harsh and risky. If someone is careful, he may be punished.

Therefore, Li Jin chose to wait patiently, but it was only half a day, and he could afford to wait.

Just after Mao's time, Xiaocha got up to wash, and he was warned by the owner of a long paragraph.

He looked at the hostess wrapped in cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes, dressed as he was about to go out, he was shocked and envious.

The master was standing under the Shuihua gate and waiting for the master's husband with a lantern. The two of them must be going to watch the list together.

Xiaocha still remembered that the lord had been talking about the list for several days, and the lord was really doting the lord, so he went out directly with him.

On the fifth day of March, the weather had warmed up a lot, but it was still very cold early in the morning, so Li Jin asked Qin Muwen to put on a cotton-padded jacket, and covered his hands with him along the way.

It is too early now, there are no carriages at all along the way, only people who collect night incense from house to house.

The two walked for more than half an hour, and finally reached the gate of the Gongyuan.

At this moment, the sky was shining, and the south wall of the Gongyuan was full of people. Li Jin and Qin Muwen looked at each other, and they could see it in each other's eyes.

They had guessed this kind of scene before they came. After all, there will be more than 4,000 people taking the test. Most of them still have a glimmer of hope and want to take a look at the rankings.

Therefore, there are really many people waiting.

Li Jin found a corner and asked Qin Muwen to stand in and block the wind for him.

In the dim morning light, the man's eyes were dark, his nose was high, and his broad shoulders covered all the noise.

After standing like this for more than an hour, the gate of the Gongyuan was finally opened, and a dozen powerful men came out.

The crowd spontaneously gave them a way, and when they walked to the edge of the courtyard wall, a dozen men spontaneously divided into two groups and surrounded the courtyard wall, leaving the last person to post.

After posting the list in previous years, some people were very excited when seeing their name, and they tore the list and wanted to take it back.

Since then, at least ten people have to be guarded by the Gongyuan when posting the list, otherwise it is to paste a layer of fake first, and wait for the enthusiasm of everyone to fade, and then post the real list.

This time it is obviously not to post the fake list, just let people guard it.

Li Jin and Qin Muwen were close, and he could hear Xiao Fulang's nervous heartbeat.

After such a short time, the list has been posted. Li Jin looked over, his eyes blocked by the person in front of him.

Qin Muwen asked him in a low voice, "Did you see it? Did you hit it?"

Li Jin said: "There are too many people in front of you to see. Since we are all here, we are simply presumptuous, I will hold you up and you will go and see."

There is a wall behind them, which will not block others.

Qin Muwen nodded.He is easy to encounter problems and is rarely coy, Li Jin likes him very much.

In the crowd, Li Jin held his legs with both hands, and Qin Muwen could clearly see that Li Jin's name was...first.Without reminding him, Li Jin put him down.

First place!That's Huiyuan!

Qin Muwen was shocked for a moment, and said: "A Jin, you, you are..."

Li Jin had already read the results from his performance. He took Xiao Fu Lang in his arms and said, "Quietly, let's go out first."

Otherwise, at this moment, you will directly shout out, "You are Huiyuan", and you will be caught in and out for several times, and you will not be able to go.

There were too many people around, Li Jin protected him and walked more than ten meters before getting out of the crowd.

Qin Muwen's eyes were bright and he called out all the words: "Huiyuan! A Jin, you are Huiyuan!"

The author has something to say:

[In the narrow sense,'Master' is the honorary name for craftsmen who have special skills, and'Master' is also a master and father.

[The scale of the ship model is based on the Great Britain, which is 60 meters long and 10 meters wide.
