    "Miss, please stay away from me. I hate vases like you very much. Although you have a beautiful appearance, all I see is your brain, which is as empty as Yanhuang Square."

    In front of the Oriental Pavilion, Niu Rui, who was holding three books, turned around and looked at Isabella who was following him with an unhappy expression.

    For the past few days, this beautiful Hispanic woman has been by his side.

    She claimed to be the daughter of a Spanish businessman. Her father sent her to learn Chinese etiquette in order to give her to a Chinese in the future to facilitate the family business.

    In Zheng Sen¡¯s design, a pitiful young girl who is forced by her parents to do something she doesn¡¯t want to do can best arouse men¡¯s sympathy and protective psychology.  In fact, the first half of Zheng Sen's plan was successful. Isabella successfully got acquainted with Niu Rui, but then something outside Zheng Sen's control happened. Niu Rui was most interested in various academics.  From philosophy and human relations to practical studies and mathematics, there was almost nothing that Niu Bu did not want to get involved in, but Isabella had no interest in these things. After the two had a brief relationship, they did not wait for Isabella and Niu Bu to change.  "Intimate", Niu Dun turned his attention back to Dongfangji.

    During the Three Years of China, in order to cope with the increasing number of foreigners trying to study in China, Yu Guozhen established this Oriental Academy, which was directly affiliated with the Ministry of Education. It only taught Confucian classics, as well as some mathematics, geography and medicine.  .  The annual allocation given to it is 15,000 gold dollars, of which the students enrolled have to pay tuition fees. Although the fees are not too high, they are definitely not cheap.  However, a small number of very outstanding students can enjoy tuition exemptions and even scholarships. However, if they want to enter Oriental College and become a formal student, they must pass the Chinese proficiency test.  Thousands of young people from all over the world, with the dream of entering Oriental College, rent houses around the school to study. They can also enjoy certain preferential treatment, such as borrowing books from the library like Niu Rui does now.

    The publishing industry at this time was one of the important industries in China. The new dynasty's emphasis on education and the prosperity of culture drove the development of the publishing industry. A large number of ancient classics were printed every year, and these did not require payment of royalties.  Ancient classics are also extremely cheap.  Even a school like Oriental Academy with limited funding has built a library with more than 100,000 volumes.  A library of this size, especially the beautifully printed and clearly printed books, was hard to let go of.

    In his opinion, books are much more attractive than beautiful women.

    "Niu Rui, you can't do this to me, I, I really like you!" Isabella covered her heart with tears in her eyes, and said to Niu Rui affectionately: "I need you, I need your help!  "

    "The main difference between Er Cheng's and Zhu Xi's theories is" Niu Dun ignored her at all, opened a study notebook, and began to stroll forward.

    "Bullshit!" Isabella ran over and pulled his arm.

    "Get out of the way!" Niu Dun threw her away. Seeing that she was about to come closer, he pushed her hard and pushed this beauty directly into the flower bed on the roadside.

    Then Niu Dun turned around and walked away.

    Isabella sat on the ground with hatred flashing in her eyes, but she hid it well.  She shouted in a trembling voice, and then called Niubu behind her. The voice was truly melodious and sad, and coupled with the expression on her face, it was truly heartbreaking to hear and moved.

    However, Niu Bu didn't even stop for a moment. He turned to another note: "The earliest escapement was used in the water transport instrument platform made by Su Song of the Song Dynasty. Today, escapements are used in clocks, vehicles, machinery, etc.  The principle was already thoroughly studied by Su Song and others at that time"

    When Isabella called for the third time, Niu Budu had already walked more than a hundred meters away. On another side road, Lai Buchen, who had been watching the two pulling each other with interest, crossed his arms and met Niu Bu.

    "Haha, Niu Dun, for such a beautiful woman, why don't you have the slightest pity for her?"

    "Cherish the beauty? What is that?" Niu Dun replied coldly: "The partner I pursue in my life is the truth itself. People like you who are full of utilitarian ideas will definitely not understand."

    "Is it true to talk about war on paper?" Lai Buchen was younger than Niu Rui and had no interest in women. He just liked to see Niu Rui make a fool of himself, so he immediately started arguing with Niu Rui: "Like your teacher, you only know how to play war on paper?  "

    "At least you won't lose the path of truth that you insist on like your teacher did." Niu Dun glanced at him.

    Because Huang Zongxi and Ma Shiying had a bad relationship, and although both parties accepted practical learning and tried to explain it from a Confucian perspective, their views were different.  Therefore, Huang Zongxi scolded Ma Shiying for being a wallflower and without integrity, while Ma Shiying scolded Huang Zongxi for talking about things on paper and not being able to adapt.  The result is that disciples from both sidesThey always quarreled when they met. The two teenagers originally disliked each other. Such quarrels every three days made them even more hostile to each other, and they were eager to see each other behave badly.

    Seeing the two teenagers disappear from her sight, Isabella could no longer hide the shame and anger on her face.

    Being sent to seduce a young boy, she was not very happy about it in the first place. Now that the seduce has not succeeded, it makes her even more embarrassed.  Moreover, this failure will inevitably lower her status in Zheng Sen's group and make Zheng Sen doubt her ability.

    "There must be a reason" she thought with frustration, and then got up.

    Choosing Niu Duan as the breakthrough point to get close to Yu Xiang was to avoid China's military intelligence reconnaissance agency.  Therefore, when Isabel was brought to Zheng Sen, they were on the top of one of the tallest buildings in Shanghai, the twenty-story Chunshen Building.  This is Yu Guozhen's favorite place, but it is also open to the public on weekdays, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the treasury. Zheng Sen met Isabella here to avoid those possible spies.

    After all, no spy would dare to come to Yu Guozhen¡¯s own property to listen.

    "Why did it fail?" Seeing the dejected Isabella, Zheng Sen frowned. If this step fails, then the subsequent strategies will be completely meaningless.

    "Sir, becausebecause that idiot can't possibly like women, he doesn't do it at all." Isabella bit her lower lip, helpless light flashing in her eyes.

    This was the excuse she found for herself. I guess Zheng Sen wouldn't be so bored that he would send someone to test whether Niu Dun was really inhumane.

    "Heavenly eunuch?" Zheng Sen was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

    The woman in front of him is extremely charming. Zheng Sen has experienced this personally. If she can't seduce her, then she might be castrated.  I didn't expect that the brilliant plan I had planned would go wrong in such a small detail.  I'm afraid it will be too late to look for someone else. This time when I return to China, I still have a lot of things to deal with in Yanping City, and I have stayed there for a long time. How could Yu Guozhen not become suspicious?

    "It seemsthe only choice is to go back to Yanping City." Zheng Sen sighed.

    "Your Highness, are you going to give up like this?" Feng Chengshi said in surprise: "It's just a small setback. We can still look for opportunities!"

    "If you look for another opportunity, you have to wait until next time. You can't stay here for a long time."

    Zheng Sen clasped his hands behind his back, stood up and looked out the huge glass window. Outside was the whole of Shanghai.  Yu Guozhen did not impose height restrictions on non-palace buildings like previous emperors. Violation of them would be treason - on the contrary, out of considerations of saving space, he encouraged multi-storey and even high-rise buildings, especially now that there is electricity and people can take advantage of it.  You can quickly rise to the top floor with the automatic ladder without expending too much effort.

    The elevators at this time were of course crude and had strict load limits. They were similar to the simple elevators used in construction sites in later generations, except that they were surrounded by wooden boards.  But its appearance still fascinates everyone.

    Especially when you take the elevator with transparent glass on one side and slowly rise to the top of Chunshen Tower, overlooking the city that has grown in more than ten years.

    The world is different.

    Zheng Sen¡¯s biggest feeling when he came back this time was that China was so different from the Ming Dynasty when he left.

    The place is still the same place, the people are still the same, but the spirit is completely different.  They have no nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty, but in just eight years, they have no emotion for that dynasty - even some clans from the pre-Ming Dynasty.

    Zheng Sen secretly visited several former Ming clan members, including the former Ming prince who now works as an assistant at the Shanghai Research Institute. None of them thought about the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, they were full of ideals for their future in the Chinese Dynasty.

    Like the former prince, he talked enthusiastically about his role as assistant to Fang Qiyi, how they used electricity to transmit signals, and then encoded these signals into words, thus forming the current telegraph - this is also the case.  Class A technology is currently only allowed to be used on the Chinese mainland.

    Perhaps except for Zheng Sen, no one else still misses the Ming Dynasty. Even Emperor Chongzhen, who serves as the director of the Chinese Museum of Ming History, is enjoying himself at this time arguing with a group of former civil servants about whether they are the emperors responsible for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.  , or on those civil servants.  One of the details, the death of Yuan Chonghuan, was used as a sharp weapon by both parties, and they were very happy to criticize each other. For this reason, I don¡¯t even know who wrote a novel "The Secret Code of Blue Blood", which is extremely suspenseful.  Capable of doing things.

    "Let's take all those people away." Zheng Sen ignored Isabella, but looked at Feng Chengshi: "Let Xifan handle this matter, young people must start to experience it."

    Feng XifanHe was Feng Chengshi's son. Hearing Zheng Sen's instructions, Feng Chengshi was half happy and half worried. He was happy that his son could finally take charge of his own affairs, but worried that it would not be easy.

    "If they don't want to, if they come with us they will have to go overseas and leave the colorful world of China."

    "If you don't want to, naturally take care of it to prevent them from leaking the news. No one can keep a secret forever. I don't want the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Dynasty to appear outside Yanping City. After returning this time, speed up the journey to those Yin Di'an people  Let¡¯s assimilate. After all, your own strength is the most important. Only with enough strength can you not use any tricks"

    When Zheng Sen said this, he coughed slightly. During this period, there seemed to be something wrong with his body, and he had not been very well.

    They did not shy away from Isabella when they spoke. Isabella was slightly frightened, not knowing whether the explanation she had just made was concealed.

    After so many years of experience, Zheng Sen's subordinates have greatly improved their abilities. Just three days later, he appeared on his big ship and began sailing towards the Japanese country.  An hour after they left Shanghai Port, the coast had completely disappeared from their sight. Zheng Sen, who had been feeling a little uneasy, felt relieved.

    At this moment, the Chinese naval fleet composed of five warships appeared in the southeast direction of them. They were lined up in a row, their broadsides and gun doors opened, facing Zheng Sen and his party.

    "Whatwhat's going on?" Feng Chengshi cried out.
