At all dinners, it is the key to what to eat, what to talk about, and who to talk to.

It took about two full hours to eat this meal, and the food on the table changed several times. Lu Peien, Manager Yao, and the beautiful female disciple of the Lingshan Sect all became the guests at the dinner party. In the whole dinner party, Yan Liqiang and Zhang Yourong were almost chatting.

Yan Liqiang finally did not express the idea and inspiration of the steam engine. After all, for Yan Liqiang, who was a man of two lives, he was not a 15-year-old boy who was ignorant of the world. If others give him a little sunshine, he would be bright in spring. Yan Liqiang believed that with the master of the machinery and manufacturing, as long as he revealed his idea of ​​the steam engine, Zhang Yourong would definitely be able to figure out the joints immediately and quickly make the steam engine.

Yan Liqiang knows more than anyone else. This is a card in his hand. With his relationship with Lingshan Sect and Zhang Yourong, it is not enough to let him give this card to Lingshan Sect and Zhang Yourong in just a few words. This is not in line with the principle of maximizing interests. More importantly, although Zhang Yourong is a world-renowned master of the agency, the title of the master of the agency refers to his ability, not his character, what kind of person he is, and what kind of character, Yan Liqiang knows nothing about this. In his previous life, Yan Liqiang has also seen many experts and professors who appear to be shameless and shameless behind his back. Naturally, he would not make the mistake that children would make, equate a person's career achievements and rumored reputation with his character and morality.

When chatting with this master of the organ, Yan Liqiang was polite and always kept it. But even so, Yan Liqiang still let the master of the Lingshan Sect Qianji Hall meet him for the first time in his life. He finally understood what a soulmate is and what a friend who is drinking with a friend is a thousand cups. Every time Zhang Yourong says something, Yan Liqiang knows what he means, and can discuss it with him, hit it off and chat in an instant, making the Lingshan Sect's master of the Lingshan Sect happier the more he talks.

The few people listening to Yan Liqiang's eyes slowly went from surprise to admiration, and they were simply unconcealed. Especially Lu Peien, watching Yan Liqiang talk with the world-renowned masters of the agency chatting at the dinner table without any fright. Even when Yan Liqiang was talking, Zhang Yourong could still listen attentively. His understanding of Yan Liqiang was refreshed again...

Yan Liqiang and Zhang Yourong discussed from sails to metal springs, then to the refractive reflection of light, density of matter, sound principle of object, and then to the transformation of water in liquid, solid and gaseous states, and finally to the weights and measures...

"I think that if the way of investigating things in the mechanism is to achieve greater development in the entire Han Empire, the unity of weights and measures of the Han Empire is imperative to change. It should be based on the basis. Many current measurement standards have already put a huge constraint on the development of the way of investigating things in the mechanism. For example, the size of the volume, we have stones, huhu, dou, steep, bean, merging, steep, etc. as the measurement. The smallest volume is steep, two steep are one liter, ten steep are one liter, four steep are one bean, ten steep are one hu, five steep are one hu, ten steep are one hu, ten steep are one stone. These measurements have not yet shown any shortcomings in daily life, and are barely enough, but in the mechanism, steep are

In the Tao, it seems extremely rough and unbearable to use. For example, the glass of wine in my hand is difficult to accurately measure and describe the volume of the glass. For ten craftsmen, ten people may have ten answers. It is important to know that the way of investigating things is like practicing internal skills. It often makes a slight mistake. If the way of investigating things wants to have great development, the premise is that all things in the world, from mountains to dust, weight, length, width, and volume can be measured and described. Let ten thousand craftsmen come, and everyone can get the same result with unified standards. You can clearly tell the right and wrong at a glance, rather than saying and counting each one..."

"No, no, that's the reason!" Zhang Yourong heard Yan Liqiang say this, and then slapped his thighs excitedly. "The first rule I set up in Lingshan School of Qianji Hall is to strictly use public instruments and unify all measurements of Qianji Hall. If not, it is difficult for the craftsmen in the hall to make great progress. The weights and measures used by the Han Empire are indeed too rough. In addition to volume, there are also measurements of time, temperature, and angle, which are all too rough...."

"Indeed, for example, the measurement of time and temperature, if these two measurements can be more accurate, just like the weapons smelting and quenching in the blacksmith workshop in my home, if ordinary craftsmen want to learn this at least a few years, they rely on experience to control and look at the temperature. If there is an accurate measurement description, how long a tool embryo is placed in the fire at a temperature, and then take out the quenching liquid at a temperature of how low it is to complete the quenching process, then, even an apprentice, it will only take a few days to master this process. At the same time, many valuable experience and skills accumulated by predecessors can be preserved in words as long as there is an accurate description of the description, so that millions of people will not be lost or need to teach step by step. At that time, the mechanism of the Han Empire's investigation of things will definitely have an unprecedented situation..."

The Lingshan Sect’s organ master kept nodding when he heard it. Zhang Yourong was about to say something, but someone knocked on the door of the room outside.

"What's the matter?" Lu Penn asked in the room.

"Sixth Master, the restaurant's friend has been here several times. He said that the restaurant had closed two quarters of an hour ago..."

Lu Peien glanced at Manager Yao, and Manager Yao looked at Zhang Yourong, "Lord Zhang, look..."

"Then let's get here today. Let's have a great time chatting with Brother Liqiang today!" Zhang Yourong looked at Yan Liqiang, with a look of unsatisfactory expression, but he still stood up.

"Haha, I benefit a lot from the master's advice..."

"Brother Liqiang, don't be humble. If you are obsessed with the way of investigating things, the title of the number one master of the Han Empire in the future will definitely be yours. If you don't mind how old I am, call me Brother Rong in the future, and you don't have to be so polite!"

"Okay, I will call you Brother Rong from now on!" Yan Liqiang beat the snake and followed the stick, and was not pretentious, so he just spoke and called Brother Zhang Yourong.

Zhang Yourong pondered for a moment, took out a pure gold waist card from his pocket and handed it to Yan Liqiang, and simply said, "This is the guest waist card of Qianjitang of our Lingshan Sect. Brother Liqiang, please take it. With the knowledge of Liqiang, you can be more than enough to be a guest of our Qianjitang. This guest identity has no restrictions or requirements for me. But if you have any trouble in the future, you can show this waist card. The guest waist card of our Lingshan Sect is still a bit important in the world and in the imperial capital. Friends from all over the world will give me some face when they see it!"

Yan Liqiang glanced at the faces of Manager Yao and the beautiful female disciple of the Lingshan Sect who wanted to speak but stopped. He knew that the waist card with the identity of the Lingshan Sect's guest was of extraordinary weight, and it was probably more than that little effect. He laughed and took the pure gold waist card over, "That's thank you Brother Rong!"

...

The group came out of Tianwaitian. There were few pedestrians on the street outside. Although the rain in the sky had completely stopped, the sky was still gloomy and there was no light at all. Zhang Yourong had to stay in the Imperial Capital City for a while. During this period, he lived in the Imperial Capital Courtyard of the Lingshan Sect. After inviting Yan Liqiang to have time to visit the Imperial Capital Courtyard of the Lingshan Sect, the group got on two carriages at the door of Tianwaitian, and then the carriages separated in different directions.

Under the lights of the two carriages, the wheels of the carriage were slowly driving on the wet streets of the Imperial Capital, occasionally pressing over the shallow water on the ground. The crisp sound of horse hooves resounded on the streets with few pedestrians. In the carriage, Yan Liqiang took out the identity sign of the Lingshan Sect guest and held it in his hand to play with it.

The waist card is gold and very exquisite. The words "The Lingshan Guest" are very eye-catching.

"Li Qiang, do you know that this Lingshan Sect Guest's waist card is an extraordinary thing!" Lu Peien, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the waist card tightly, without hiding the envy in his eyes.

"Does Brother Lu know? Tell me quickly!"

"I also heard from the old man that as long as you carry this waist card, it is equivalent to being protected by the Lingshan Sect. People who are idle will never dare to provoke you. In addition, Li Qiang, do you know the biggest benefit of owning this guest waist card?"

“What is it?”

"In the future, if you have blood and flesh, you can send it directly to the gate of the Lingshan Sect's sect, become a disciple of the Lingshan Sect and practice the Lingshan Sect's excellent skills!" At this point, Lu Peien smiled bitterly, "This is something that the old man has tried every means for so many years and has been unsuccessful. Unexpectedly, Li Qiang, you can do it after just one meal. This imperial capital is indeed a place of storm. Li Qiang, you come here, it is like a fish in water and a dragon in clouds. I have found that Li Qiang is becoming more and more difficult to see through..."

"If Brother Lu likes this waist card, I will give this waist card to Brother Lu!" Yan Liqiang said and handed over the waist card, as if he didn't care.

Lu Peien was amused by Yan Liqiang, "Do you think this waist card is useful if I hold it. This is something given to you by the Lingshan Sect's first mechanism master. The Lingshan Sect will definitely record it. If others use it to cheat, they will be asking for death..."

Yan Liqiang smiled and took back the waist sign, "By the way, Brother Lu, let the carriage be stopped in front and let me down. I'll leave the city by myself!"

"Now the city gate is afraid it will be closed?"

"There should be some time left before the gate of the city. Brother Lu, just go back by yourself!"

"Or why I'll give you it. If the city gate is closed, you will stay in the Ganzhou Guild Hall tonight and will return to Luyuan tomorrow morning, and there will be no delay!"

"I've been in the room for so long just now, and I'm a little frustrated. I'll go down and have some breathing. If the city gate is closed and cannot go back, I'll come to Ganzhou Guild Hall to find you, Brother Lu!"

Hearing Yan Liqiang say this, Lu Peien stopped insisting. At a intersection in front, he stopped the carriage and put Yan Liqiang down. Then the two sides separated at this intersection.

Yan Liqiang, who got off the carriage, took a deep breath of the cold air. He didn't have to look back and knew that the tail was still following him. He was fifty meters away on the street. When the man saw him coming down, he stopped suddenly and hid behind the signboard of a closed lantern shop on the street...

I've been watching all night, and I'm really dedicated...

Yan Liqiang smiled coldly, then took a step towards the front, followed by his figure, and then quietly continued to follow Yan Liqiang...

After following him for less than ten minutes, just turned a corner of the street, Yan Liqiang's figure disappeared from the sight of the person behind. The figure behind hurriedly followed, but when he came over, he saw that the street was empty, with only a few pedestrians and carriages vaguely in the distance, and Yan Liqiang's figure disappeared suddenly.

The man panicked and rushed forward, but looked left and right, front and back, and couldn't find Yan Liqiang's figure.

"Damn it, was it discovered? That boy is so good..." the man murmured to himself, and then spitted on the ground.

"Are you looking for me?" A voice suddenly appeared behind the man in a calm state. The man was startled and slowly turned his head. The person standing behind him was not Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang in the dark had only a pair of eyes shining, and there was an inexplicable trembling and cold aura on his body. The man wanted to scream, but before he could react, Yan Liqiang's hand had fallen on the spine of his neck. With just a light pinch, his whole body became numb, and he instantly lost all his ability to move. He couldn't even scream...

Yan Liqiang was like a hunting beast, holding the man's neck and dragging the man into a dark alley next to him...

In the blink of an eye, several inaudible painful groans and screams came from the dark alley, but after a moment he returned to silence.
Chapter completed!
