After Zhao Hao shook enough, Li Zhen withdrew his hand without a trace, wiped it behind his back, and then looked at him vigilantly and said:

"If you are one with one virtue, you will be comrade if you are one heart. How did Dr. Zhao know that I would be of the same heart as you? ”

"Uh......" Zhao Hao realized that he was so excited that he lost his temper.

After all, at this time, Li Zhen was just an ordinary university teacher who was forced to make a living, and he had not yet ascended to the pulpit in Jinling to spread his shocking heretical ideas all over the world.

Naturally, I don't know how famous I will be more than ten years later. I don't know what a bright star I will become in the long river of history.

I don't know what kind of expectation and trust Zhao Hao's 'comrade' contains......

Let's start a great friendship from now on!

He asked Qiaoqiao to make tea again, sat opposite Li Zhen on the ground, and after seeing him again, Fang smiled and asked:

"Dr. Li is here, why is he here?"

"I want to go up to heaven and see it." Li Zhen said with a dry laugh.

"I don't believe you have such a leisurely elegance." Zhao Hao shook his head categorically.

Li Zhen's face couldn't help but change when he heard this. He first looked at Zhang Jian, who was serving on the side, but immediately realized that he had never mentioned his family situation to Zhang Jian.

"How do you know?" Li Zhen became vigilant again. At his age, after so many tribulations, he will not be as gullible as young people are to believe in the good intentions of this world.

"I just know." Zhao Hao smiled faintly, almost choking Li Zhen to death.

"How do I know, though, does it matter?" Zhao Haoxin said, if I can explain it clearly, there will be ghosts.

"Uh......" Li Zhen frowned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly and said, "It's really not important. ”

"So your real purpose?" Zhao Hao asked slowly.

"Well, I'll admit, I'm not interested in science at all. I just wanted to see if I could get some money from you. ”

"After all, you have to be fed to study science, right?" Li Zhen spread his hands and said honestly: "My family is hungry." ”

Originally, Zhao Hao's disciples wanted to come over and join in the fun, but when they heard the words, they hid far away.

Who is full of food and can support themselves, and they are not happy? Uh, Master, we're not talking about you, an old man.

~~

Zhao Hao knew that Li Zhen at this time was quite miserable.

His family was originally a wealthy businessman in Quanzhou.

You guessed it, it's a maritime merchant.

Then the chaos together, Quanzhou City Bo Siguan Zhang Daji, Daming Sea banned.

Not all maritime merchants have the courage to continue smuggling. What's more, even if you have the courage to do it, you have to have that ability, otherwise you will be delivering food to others.

So the days of Lao Li's family are Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as the year.

By the time Li Zhen and his father were in his generation, it was really a poor jingle and couldn't open the pot all day long. Until the ancestral tomb came out with a puff of green smoke, Li Zhen was promoted in the examination.

However, the hard days of the old Li family have not yet come to an end, and after Li Zhen was promoted in the examination, he failed in two consecutive examinations.

A large family wanted to eat, and his younger brothers and sisters were not married, Li Zhen really couldn't continue to take the exam, so he gritted his teeth and went to the ministry to sign up for the big challenge, and was appointed as the teacher of Hui County, Henan.

The place in Huixian County is poor, and the salary of the priest is also pitiful, but the financial situation of the old Li family has not been alleviated in the slightest.

It wasn't until five years later that he was promoted to Doctor Guozijian in Nanjing because of his excellent teaching.

Li Zhen happily went to work. Because although Nanjing is not a political center, it is rich in the world. Especially in Nanjing, who are studying in the Guozi Prison in Nanjing, they are all children of rich families who donate money to school.

I heard that these people will give gifts to teachers during the New Year's holidays and before exams, so they don't have to worry about livelihood problems with this gray income alone.

However, he has only just begun to memorize words.

Within a few months of arriving in Nanjing, Li Zhen received an obituary of his father's death, so he had to leave his post and go home in a hurry.

There was no income during the Ding Wei period, and Quanzhou was in trouble at that time. Li Zhen participated in the anti-Japanese resistance while running for the livelihood of dozens of members of his family, not to mention exhaustion, and owed a lot of debts.

After three years of service, Li Zhen and his wife and children entered Beijing to wait for the vacancy, and the wait was another ten months. By this time, he was extremely poor, and his second son died as a result.

But fate did not end playing tricks on him, Li Zhen easily waited for the vacancy of Dr. Guozijian in Beijing, and the news of his grandfather's death came again......

Because his father is gone, Li Zhen has to worry about his father. He just left office as soon as he took office three years ago. But this time, Li Zhen had no money to return to his hometown with his wife and children this time, so he had to divide the 'condolence money' given by his fellow villagers in Beijing into two parts, one for his wife. Let her take her children back to Huixian County to buy a field to live, and the rest will be used as the cost of her return to her hometown for funeral.

Three years later, when Li Zhen rushed back to Huixian County to reunite with his family, he learned that Henan had encountered a famine in recent years, and his second and third daughters had passed away in poverty and illness.

The successive blows almost destroyed the family, and Li Zhen, with deep guilt, returned to Beijing with his wife and children, and continued to teach in Guozijian......

"As a result, the court has no money, and there has been no salary for several months......" Li Zhen sighed in frustration, and smiled bitterly at Zhao Hao: "And when I arrived at the Guozijian, I learned that the gifts given by students are not fake, but they are all given to officials such as the Si Ye Supervisor and the like, who control their fate." No one wants to waste a penny on a doctor like us who only teaches and doesn't do anything. ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Zhang Jian and said, "This kid is an exception, but he is also poor and can't support himself." ”

"I didn't know the doctor's family was so embarrassed." Zhang Jian couldn't help but show an apologetic look.

He is not the poor he was when he was apprenticing last year, and he saved two or three thousand taels of various rewards from his ancestor alone. Moreover, to create the 'Drainage King', the master also rewarded 5,000 taels of silver, plus the technical director of Xishan Coal Industry, and an income of 100 taels per month, he is already an out-and-out small rich man.

Zhang Jian is a kind of person who knows how to repay kindness, if he had known that Li Zhen's family was poor like this, he would definitely have helped.

Li Zhen waved his hand and sighed: "If it weren't for your master to break the word, I wouldn't talk about these things." ”

Saying that, he looked at Zhao Hao and said, "The reason why I came to find Dr. Zhao is because I first heard that you have money. ”

"Well, I'm rich." Zhao Hao nodded.

"Second, I feel like you need my help." I heard Li Zhen continue: "I know that you have recruited a lot of students, and these people are all coming for the imperial examination, but your science obviously has nothing to do with the imperial examination......

Zhao Hao couldn't help but blush when he heard this, Li Zhen is an understanding person.

Of course, Li Zhen understands people, and there is no one in the Ming Dynasty who sees the problem more thoroughly than him.

"You may or may not be good at the imperial examination, but whether you are good at it or not, I believe that manpower is sometimes poor, you should concentrate on teaching what no one knows, and leave what others can also teach to others."

Li Zhen said, looking at Zhao Hao with clear eyes and said, "For example, me." ”
