Shen Kuo thought that with the preferential treatment of the Weapons Supervisor, it would be very easy to recruit a craftsman, but what he didn't expect was that the skillful Liu finally refused the recruitment of the Weapons Supervisor, and said that he had new plans, which made him ask strangely: "I don't know what your plans are for Skillful Liu, you must know that after entering the Weapons Prison, it is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl, and in the future, as long as your children and grandchildren are not too bad, you can enter the Weapons Prison to work, such an opportunity cannot be asked." ”

Hearing Shen Kuo ask about his plans, the skillful Liu Yi's face turned red for a while, and he seemed to be a little ashamed to speak, but Shen Kuo kept staring at him, which made him finally have to confess helplessly: "The villain wants to apply for a job in the academy run by the king of the county." ”

"Apply? What to apply for, when will the county king open an academy? Shen Kuo was also very surprised when he heard this.

"It seems that Judge Shen shouldn't have gone to the lecture today, and today the king of the county said one thing at the end of the lecture, that is, he plans to change the Xianwei into an academy, set up various disciplines in the academy, and at the same time recruit some people from those of us who are listening to the lecture to enter the academy and serve as professors and lecturers in the academy, so I ......"

"So you want to apply and become a professor and lecturer at the college?" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Kuo in an incredible tone, and his gaze at him became a little strange, as if he was looking at a madman.

Feeling the strange look in Shen Kuo's gaze, Liu Ye's face flushed all of a sudden, he had already expected that others would have such an effect after hearing his words, after all, he was just a low-status craftsman, but now he was delusional to enter the academy to educate people, which seemed a bit crazy to anyone.

"Judge Shen doesn't need to be surprised, according to the king of the county, the academy integrates various disciplines. Among them, there are more common subjects such as arithmetic, physics, chemistry, biology, etc., as well as metallurgy, casting and other disciplines. Skillful Liu explained with a blushing face at this time.

Originally, he never thought about teaching in the past, but the subject classification in the academy that Zhao Yan talked about today. and the treatment of the academy, etc., all made him very excited, especially after being able to enter the academy, his status will be greatly improved, and this is what he needs most.

"Metallurgy and casting? The county king actually plans to teach these things? Shen Kuo couldn't help but be surprised again when he heard this, he was an extremely rare all-round scientist in history, and he was involved in various disciplines, including metallurgy and casting, but he only knew some theories. In practice, it is certainly not comparable to the skillful Liu in front of him.

"Judge Shen, although the villain is not talented, he has always wanted to glorify his ancestors with the skills he has learned, but the villain is born a craftsman, if nothing else, he can only be a craftsman for the rest of his life, and his children and grandchildren will also follow me to become craftsmen, but the bitter villain of craftsmen knows better than anyone. Now that I have such an opportunity, I naturally want to find a way out for my children and grandchildren. I hope you can understand! Skillful Liu saluted Shen Kuo again, and what he said at this time was all sincere.

When Shen Kuo heard this, his face also showed a contemplative look, he was not thinking about the matter of skillful Liu, but thinking about the possible impact of Zhao Yan opening this academy, speaking of which, I am afraid that only Zhao Yan would dare to blatantly recruit craftsmen as lecturers in the academy. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid it will cause some readers to be disgusted, but it's nothing, after all, most of the readers who are willing to listen to Zhao Yan's lectures are people who are really interested in Xinxue. Even if they had an idea in their hearts, they would never oppose Zhao Yan's decision because of this trivial matter.

In addition, the academy founded by Zhao Yan will mainly teach all kinds of miscellaneous learning, Shen Kuo, who knows that these miscellaneous studies are practical learning, can almost foresee, with the opening of this academy, more practical talents will definitely emerge, not to mention, just their weapons supervisor will need these talents very much, if it is at that time, a mere skilled Liu is nothing.

Thinking of this, Shen Kuo looked up at the skillful hand Liu in front of him, who seemed a little nervous, and immediately opened his mouth and smiled: "As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, it is normal for you to have such thoughts in skillful hand Liu, in addition, I also think that with your talents, it may be more suitable to enter the academy than to enter the ordnance superintendent, so since you have made up your mind, then I have nothing to say, I just hope that you will cultivate more talents for our ordnance superintendent in the future!" ”

Skillful Liu heard that Shen Kuo not only did not stop him, but also said a few words of encouragement, which made him turn his worries into joy, and immediately stood up and saluted Shen Kuo and said: "Thank you for the appreciation of the judge, if the villain can enter the academy in the future, he will definitely live up to the judge's entrustment!" ”

Hearing Skillful Liu's words, Shen Kuo laughed again, and then encouraged a few words again, and let Skillful Liu leave, after all, although Skillful Liu's craftsmanship is good, but for the huge ordnance supervisor, there is not much difference between him and him, not to mention that the other party may bring more talents to him, so Shen Kuo naturally doesn't mind letting him go.

After saying goodbye to Shen Kuo, he returned home with the cooked food he bought, he set up his home in Sheung Shui Zhuang, and also built a yard at the east end of Zhuangzi, speaking of which skillful Liu has accumulated some family property over the years, and he also likes the environment of Sheung Shui Zhuang very much, so he originally lived here for a long time, and the yard was also built quite magnificently, looking like a small landlord in the village.

As soon as he walked to the door of the house, Qiaoshou Liu heard the laughter of the children in the yard, as soon as he opened the courtyard door, he saw three men and one woman and four children were playing in the yard.

"Why did you come back so late today?" At this moment, I saw a woman in her early thirties walking out of the kitchen on the east side, and immediately asked loudly when she saw the skillful hand Liu, this woman is the Hunjia Chen of the skillful Liu, her family has been in business for generations, and it is also a rich family, but her father is a loser, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling to ruin the family property, Chen only enjoyed a few days of rich life when he was a child, but when he grew up, he had to go to work to support his parents and siblings at home, and later he was introduced to marry the skillful Liu.

"Lady, just now I met Shen Kuo Shen who came to me last time in the market, so I came a little late." Skillful Liu immediately put down the child, and then said with a smile, people who are familiar with him know that he is a little afraid of guilt, in fact, others don't know, Skillful Liu is more respectful than afraid of his wife, if it weren't for Chen's teaching him to read and write, coupled with the usual silent support, he may not be able to win the title of the first skillful hand in the capital.

When Chen heard that Shen Kuo was coming to find her husband, his eyes lit up and he asked a little eagerly: "Did Judge Shen mention that you should go to the Weapons Prison again, did you agree?" ”

The ordnance supervisor solicited him for such a big matter, and the skillful Liu naturally wanted to discuss it with the Chen family, and he had already discussed it with the Chen family last time, and he would definitely agree to it next time he met Shen Kuo, but he refused this time, but now the skillful Liu was still a little worried when he saw his wife, because he made this decision without consulting the Chen family.

It is precisely because of this that when the skillful Liu heard Chen's inquiry, his face couldn't help but show a little hesitation, but finally he said: "Lady, I was originally going to agree to sentence Shen, but when I was listening to the king of the county today, I heard one thing, and it was this incident that made me reject Shen's sentence. ”

If it is an ordinary woman, after seeing that her husband, who has always been obedient, did not listen to her own advice, I am afraid that she will scold her without saying anything, but after all, Chen has read books, and her knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary women, plus she also knows the skillful Liu, if there is no good reason, she will definitely not refuse the invitation of the ordnance supervisor, so she did not get angry, but let her husband enter the house first, and then asked: "What's the matter, what did the king of the county say that made the husband change his mind?" ”

Seeing that his wife was not angry, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately told Zhao Yan about the preparation of the academy, especially emphasizing the most suitable iron smelting and casting majors for him, but Chen was silent after listening to it, as if he was pondering something?

"Lady, the treatment in the academy is secondary, we have a small savings over the years, but we don't have to worry about the children's food, clothing and marriage, but we are craftsmen everywhere we have to be dwarfs, and the children in the family want to marry in the future, I'm afraid they can only be selected among the craftsmen, but if I can become a lecturer or professor in the academy, it is a peak than the status of the scholars in the academy, and then we will get our three sons to the academy, and we will be regarded as having a background in the future, who dares to say that we are craftsmen?" The more skillful Liu said, the more excited he became, although this matter did not give him too long to think about it, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a rare opportunity in a thousand years.

Chen Shi heard her husband's excited voice, and then nodded slowly and said: "The husband's analysis is good, this is an extremely rare opportunity, although I have not seen the legendary county king, but I also learned something from the husband's mouth, this person is not only noble, but also pedantic, and even more rare is that he never hesitates to pass on his knowledge, such a person is a person who can really achieve great things, if the husband can follow him, it can be regarded as finding a good owner!" ”

"Great, the lady and I want to go together, two days will be the official recruitment day of the college, I will prepare for these two days, and I must apply for it then!" Skillful Liu heard that his wife also agreed with his choice, and he was also very excited at the moment, and at the same time, his eyes also showed a bit of expectation. (To be continued......) R1292
