437. Flyover
Now in this court, Luo Yong's coffin board image is also deeply rooted in people's hearts. It does not mean that his temper is so bad, it is mainly difficult to deal with. Typically, he does not eat oil and salt without getting into soft and hard.
He looked like he was a stubborn person, a little shrewd, and rarely greedy, and courageous. He was not easy to use for him.
The situation in the court was also changing rapidly. When the new textile machines first came out, the meaning of some people in the court was clearly to remove the mill and kill the donkey, and pulled Luo Yong away.
Now those people have calmed down again. The saint has the intention of protecting Luo Yongyin, but he is not very promoted. Many people in the court have speculations in their hearts. He is planning to leave Luo Yong for the new king in the future.
This is also a common technique for controlling the emperors. If the saints use Luo Yong too much now, then when he reaches the hands of the new emperor in the future, he will be prone to be arrogant. The starting point will naturally have more requirements. Once it cannot be satisfied, it will have a gap with the new king in the future, and it may even become a disaster.
So the old emperor is reluctant to use him very much now, and he keeps trying to scrupulous him. When the new king takes office and promote him in one fell swoop, Luo Yong will have a grateful attitude towards the new king, devote himself to his life until he dies, and will never easily feel dissatisfied.
To put it bluntly, these methods are a bit suspicious of treating people as fools. However, since you want to be an official in this court, you have to follow the routines in this court.
No matter what, for Luo Yong, it is a promising future, and many people in the court think so.
This time, some people in the court asked Luo Yong to issue a document to prohibit the people of Chang'an County and Wannian County from wearing various colors of clothes. Is this a big deal? It can be said that it is just a routine and just a formality. Luo Yong refused to do it, and in the end those people didn't do anything.
Recently, many men have already told the young people at home not to touch the board when they have nothing to do, so as not to make things boring and not to come to Taiwan.
Although Luo Yong is only in his twenties and looks like an ordinary young official, no matter how stable he is in the court or the demeanor he shows in his style of conduct, he is not comparable to ordinary young officials.
In the past, Luo Yong was just a clever and talented farmer. Now it is very different. Many well-educated people in Chang'an City recognized Luo Yong's knowledge, mainly because his math was particularly outstanding.
Luo Yong taught arithmetic in the Machine House. People who have heard of it said it was extremely profound. If you are not very proficient in this arithmetic, you will not understand it at all.
However, in this Chang'an City, there are still many people who denounce Luo Yong and the knowledge he spread as a path.
However, his path is really very expensive. At present, many schools in Chang'an City have the shortest time to open engineering, but they are the most generous. Not only are the food standards much higher than those of other schools, but they are very diligent in all seasons of clothing. The school is far from reaching the various rewards set up by the monthly exams in the school.
The test rewards in engineering are not only obtained by people with good overall scores, but also by good single scores. You can even see reward questions on some test papers.
The reward question means that no matter how many points you get in the entire test, as long as you get the right one, you can get the corresponding reward.
Under such a generous reward system, the enthusiasm of these students in engineering is not comparable to that of other schools.
Of course, the school's ability to make money is not comparable to that of other schools. They are still constantly adjusting and improving the new loom. There are some precision parts that they can only make, and the monthly income of selling parts is a lot.
There is a carving craftsman in the north and south groceries. His family has a son who studies in engineering and is not a very top student. Every time he takes the exam for ten or twenty months, he often gets some bamboo sticks worth ten or twenty cents.
The bamboo stick can be used in many businesses in Chang'an City. Students can go to any one they like, just exchange it for the goods they want. At the end of each month, these businesses will settle with the engineering department.
There are a total of more than a dozen craftsmen in charge of carving the plates in North and South Grocery. They work in a large house in the backyard. They can manage two meals a day, and their wages are calculated based on pieces.
Ordinary carvings a template cost to be determined. If you do a beautiful job, you can get some bonuses. Some young ladies who want to publish books will even designate craftsmen to carve it.
These craftsmen work in groceries in the north and south, and they earn hundreds of cents a month, which is quite stable.
However, they also have to support their families, and they are mostly very frugal. They are also envious of the craftsman who can often get bamboo sticks from their sons.
The bamboo stick is mainly about changing some sauce from the grocery store in the north and south, so the whole family has a chance to eat the sauce.
Sometimes if you don’t lack sauce at home, you can change some cakes and go back. No child at home doesn’t like it.
On this day, after the ten-day exam, the craftsman came to work at the north and south groceries, and still looked full of spring breeze.
"Have your Erlang got the award again?" someone asked him.
"The operation class scores entered the top five in the class and got twenty cents. This time, there was another reward question for the New Year exam. I asked him how high the city walls of Chang'an City are and how high the yard walls are. I told him earlier, and this time he answered correctly and got ten cents." The craftsman said everything when he heard someone asked, and he was very happy and wanted to talk to others.
"I'll get ten cents?" Other craftsmen said one after another: "I can do this too."
"My son also said this, saying that they are giving benefits to the students in engineering." The craftsman smiled and said, "But there are not those who did it right. This time, after Xunxu, their students in engineering would go outside to measure the width of the street and the depth of the canal, so as not to come up with such questions and do it wrong."
"Your son is really promising."
"It's not very promising. Only those one or two subjects are pretty good, and the rest are just allowed to keep up."
"It's great, but in engineering, he is not just working hard, but everyone is very hard-working when he heard it."
"I really worked hard. I heard that many students have to learn the third update every night. They are not willing to rest until the lights are forced to go out in engineering."
"Although the engineering studies were established late, the students there are not very good at doing some of their engineering studies in the Imperial College."
"How could a good man be as hard as a poor man?"
"I'm afraid the teacher is not well taught."
"I heard that the rewards from those schools were the standards set by the magistrate Luo when he was an assistant teacher in the Imperial College."
"Why did I hear someone tell me that there are some gentry men who sent their children to study in engineering?"
"I heard from my son about this. I took the exam at that time. I was able to get into engineering studies because I had good grades."
"I still need to take the exam?"
"Of course, County Magistrate Luo said that anyone who wants to enter the engineering program in the future will have to take the exam."
"If those young people from aristocratic families fail the exam, how can they get their faces off?"
"Then don't go."
"Tsk tsk..."
While talking, the craftsmen each arranged their own things and started working this day. Once they started working, few people would talk again.
When it was time for lunch, they became active again. Everyone took their own rice bowls to the cafeteria to make food, and made a large plate of rice and vegetables, and ate while talking.
A craftsman said that there was a very promising young lady in their workshop who studied art in the Luoshi Machinery Floor. She could get hundreds of cigars at home every month, and at least 200 to 300 yuan, and at most 600 yuan.
"I have heard of that family. Her Aye and her uncle were just a person who had to dig a gas pool with them. They made some slags and liquors every day and went to the countryside to exchange some mixed rice with farmers. Sometimes if the slags on that day were not enough to be transported out of the city, they would pile them in their own yard, making them smelly and often make their neighbors complain."
"Then what's the point? Someone has to take out the biogas tank."
"It's also a dangerous job. In the past, the magistrate of Luo County didn't always tell people that they should be very careful when digging out the biogas pool. If they are not careful, they will be smoked to death in the pool."
"Then you can't light the lights below, it's dark and smelly and stuffy."
"It's really not easy to eat that bite of rice."
"That's better than having no food."
"I also know the brothers of their family. Aye was gone early. There was only one mother who struggled to support them. Their brothers came out to carry water and pound rice with others at a loss."
"Originally, there was a girl who was so smart that she couldn't keep her. She suffered from typhoid fever at the age of seven or eight, and she disappeared."
"Oh... what's that strange?"
"It is because of this that her grandmother wants to tell people all day long that this granddaughter is her little aunt who is reincarnated."
"Are you crazy?"
"It's probably a bit crazy."
"It's so pitiful..."
In the Luo Family Machinery Shop, there are more than one or two women with poor backgrounds, and outside this machine shop, countless women want to come in.
Now the Luo Family Machinery Floor has a relatively stable income. Luo Yong asked someone to buy land in the house around the Machine Floor, intending to expand the place and then carry out another round of expansion.
Chongxianfang is quite close to the west city. To the west is Changshoufang, where Chang'an County Public Mansion is located. Walk east, and after passing Chongdefang Anyefang, Zhuque Street is also close to the palace city.
Most of the people living here have a good family background. In addition, the price of land in Chang'an City has been rising steadily in recent years. Next to this Luoshi Machinery Floor, the future market is also particularly optimistic, so they are reluctant to take action.
However, because Luo Yong and they urgently needed land, the price offered was very high. In the end, among the surrounding neighbors, there was a family willing to sell it.
The house is located across the street from Luoshi Machinery Square, and the place is also very spacious. The young people in their family want to move to the more prosperous Guangdefang, and the place is optimistic, but the price is very high. The house is opposite Luoshi Machinery Square, not adjacent to the left and right. They were originally worried that they would not want it, or that they would not be able to sell it for a good price.
Unexpectedly, the people from Luoshi Machinery Floor were surprisingly pleased. The price given to his family was the same as the prices in the neighborhoods. They even helped to say hello to the family in Guangdefang so that the house would not be bought by others in the end.
In less than a long time, the family happily moved to Guangdefang to live.
On the Luoshi Machinery House, in order to connect two areas separated by the streets, an overpass was built above the street.
Such a crossing overpass is just a small project that can be easily obtained for Hengzhi and others who have worked high in the canyon.
For engineering students who have not yet been exposed to bridge construction and students at Roche Machinery House, this is a rare opportunity to learn and practice.
Because the price of iron is very high, at this moment, learning opportunities like this are not often available.
However, because of the inevitable social development, road and bridge engineering is a very important subject, both in engineering and in Roche Machinery.
The people in the market have never known that there are people building bridges on rivers, but they have never heard of building bridges on streets.
So every day, people come to Chongxianfang to watch the fun, watching the little men and women use the steel bars and cement and other objects to build a bridge over the street with their own hands.
After this overpass was built, the people around them would often see some young ladies dressed in uniform clothes on the overpass, and occasionally there would be some young men or young men.
Most of them were in a hurry and often laughed, especially when the cafeteria bell rang, a group of young ladies ran past the overpass, calling their friends in groups of three or five, which often made the women on the surrounding streets envious.
Since the new campus is available, it will naturally be expanded. Luoshi Machinery House has now posted a notice, saying that it will be the first day of August this year, and an autumn recruitment will be held. It is expected that 300 new students will be recruited. Please prepare in advance and sign up actively at that time.
The reason why the admission time is so late is that the machine shop also needs to make some preparations to recruit new teachers in advance and prepare teachers' dormitories. On the other hand, it is also considered that some students may come from farther places.
There are still too few places in Luo Yong's opinion.
"I heard that your machine shop will be expanding again this autumn?" When Luo Yong went to court, he entered the palace city and walked on the way, a colleague came over to talk to him.
"That's right." Luo Yong had no contact with this person in the past, and he could not tell whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.
"Now there are five or six hundred. If you wave like this, it will soon be over a thousand, right?" the man said again.
"It should be more than a thousand." Luo Yong nodded.
"Teaching women to learn some skills is indeed a good thing, but you have recruited so many people in, and it is probably difficult to teach them a surprise."
The official sighed and said to Luo Yong with great sincerity: "Our dynasty is also the power of a country. The total number of students in Chang'an is only more than 3,000. In addition to the newly established engineering, it is less than 4,000. You can use your own strength..."
Knowing that the other party had no malice, Luo Yong put down his guard and listened to him muttering all the way to the main hall that was going up.
This official has not seen a school that often has tens of thousands of people in later generations, so he thought that for a school, it would be extremely impressive to have a number of more than a thousand people.
