Chapter 100 It's another year of spring, and people are different from year to year

"But how do you go?" Zhu Shimao asked with his head tilted to the left: "Do you have to walk on the sea for half a year?"

"No need, it's the most convenient way to go from our north." Mr. Zhao drew a route with a pencil: "Get out of Bohai Bay and go east along the Black Tide, and you can go straight to San Francisco!"

"Why is it called San Francisco?" someone asked, "Is it to distinguish it from Kingsoft Way?"

Jinshanwei is located on Pudong and rented 600,000 acres of land to the new district for long-term use.

"Uh, right..." Mr. Zhao hadn't thought about this before, so he had a good idea first. So it's really worry-free to say that people can get to a certain high position.

"Then why not call it New Kingsoft?" The British Duke asked curiously: "New Kingsoft is more appropriate, right?"

"This can be there." Mr. Zhao smiled bitterly, you have the final say in your opinion if you are the Duke of the State. Then he ordered Secretary Ma to say:

"Remember, on the seventh day of the second month of the fifth year of Wanli, the British Duke changed San Francisco to 'New Kings Mountain'."

"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed?" The British Duke was so happy that he couldn't close his legs: "Just give me this honor at the young master. Then we have to snatch New Kings Mountain from the Red-haired Ghost even if we overcome all difficulties!"

"Haha, it's not that easy." Zhao Hao said with a basin of cold water with his backhand: "Although the Spaniards have limited manpower in North America, they have sufficient troops in Mexico. So once they fall into land battles, the side of the Labor Expedition will suffer a lot."

"That's how..." The nobles' expressions changed, and it seemed that they were just thinking about good things.

"So we need more careful planning, more meticulous preparation, and more patient waiting." Zhao Hao grabbed the initiative of the conversation back to his hands and said: "It is not difficult to march into the Americas. The difficulty is how to gain a foothold, which requires step by step. First, our coast guard fleet must defeat the Spanish navy and become the master of the Pacific Ocean. Then, we will oppress the Spanish from land and let them spit out the Americas bit by bit. Only after ensuring the safety of the territory can we talk about operating the Americas."

"How many years have it taken?" Everyone asked sadly: "I can't start digging gold without more than ten or twenty years, right?"

"So, we must consider preparing for long-term combat, but once historical opportunities arise, we must also hold on to it." Mr. Zhao said in a deep voice: "According to my judgment, at most five or six years, an excellent window period will appear. At that time, we will do more with half the effort! Maybe we can force the Spaniards to give us the entire West Coast of North America... no, the entire West Coast of North America will be given to us."

After a pause, he looked around with sharp eyes and said, "But the question is, within five years, can you do all preparations including collecting intelligence, formulating plans, raising personnel, storing materials, and building a system? If you can't do it well, I will help Jiangnan Group to take South America first, and you can only line up back."

"Yes, sure!" The nobles immediately screamed: "No matter what they say, you can't let the Southern Monkey take the lead!"

Mr. Zhao rolled his eyes helplessly, hoping that they could do what they said.

But to be honest, he didn't have much hope. What does the saying come true? He hopes that his feet will be broken.

But North America, a future godsend land, has not been so high at present. So for at least a few decades, the priority of going south will be higher than that of going east.

Mr. Zhao was unable to do anything, so he could only hand over North America to Xishan Group to watch.

Fortunately, the Spanish are also very bad in North America. At that time, the worst is that everyone will be worse than the worst. At least we still have more people here.

The group left Tangshan on a luxury flat-bottomed passenger ship from Lugou Bridge Group and entered Beijing along the newly built North Canal.

Although this route is a little further, it has been half a day earlier than walking from Tianjin because there are fewer levels of checkpoints.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the second month, it was still chilly in spring.

After beating the drum twice, the inns and clubs in various parts of the capital... uh, the club halls began to get lively. That was when the students who participated in the undergraduate spring exam were about to get up early to attend the tribute school.

Among them, 400 students moved into the wool alley opposite Shuntian Gongyuan last night.

The two sides of this wool alley were originally houses. Because they were close to the Gongyuan, residents rented out their houses every time they faced a grand competition, making a lot of profits and their business was very booming.

However, in the sixth year of Longqing, the houses on both sides of the alley were acquired by Xishan Group as a whole and all were demolished and rebuilt. A Xishan Primary School was built on the left side of the alley and a Xishan Middle School was built on the right side. The school adopted a boarding system, and all costs were exempted, and it was specially designed to train talents for Xishan Group.

However, during the competition period, Xishan Primary School will have a holiday and will leave the dormitory to temporarily stay for the students in their academy.

From the eighth day of the second lunar month to the seventeenth day of February, the students all slept here on the eve of the three exams. There are many benefits like this. First of all, you can get close to the Gongyuan, so you can try to rest as much as possible and don’t worry about being late.

Furthermore, unified management of food and accommodation can reduce unexpected situations. Especially food safety, the group strictly manages it with the highest standards. The diet brought by the students to the tribute court has been inspected layer by layer to eliminate safety hazards.

In addition, the students can also enjoy meticulous and comprehensive services, from preparation of examination boxes and items to delivery and taking exams, massage and health care after exams... the complete set of services is free of blind spots to ensure that they can focus on the exams and just focus on the exams.

In fact, since they entered Beijing last winter and moved to Xiangshan Academy for training, they have already begun to enjoy such services. The so-called details determine success or failure, and attitude determines everything. The students of the Jiangnan Department have high talent, good teaching, and guaranteed logistics. Others celebrate wildly and have excessive banquets. They are crazy about internal exams and have moderate preparations, so their grades will naturally grow higher and higher, until they are in the sky and underground.

Last year, 140 people were admitted to Yufeng Academy, 50 people were admitted to Xiangshan Academy, 48 people were admitted to Phoenix Academy, and 30 people were admitted to Hangzhou Xixi Academy. A total of 268 new imperial examination candidates were admitted to the examination.

In addition to the 135 people who passed the exam before, a total of 403 science disciples were qualified for the exam this time. Three of them were missing due to illness, Ding You and other reasons. The last 400 people moved to Xishan Primary School, which was 175 more than the previous subject, accounting for one-nineth of the 4,500 candidates.

Four hundred students had eaten a pre-exam meal that was both rich and nutritious in the cafeteria. They came to the playground together, preparing to worship Confucius' tablets and the portrait of his master under the leadership of his senior brothers, and rushed to the examination room.

However, on the brightly lit playground, there were only the tablets of the Supreme Saint Master, and the portrait of the master disappeared.

The students couldn't help but be furious. Which evil ghost hid the portrait of the master?

We are already miserable enough, isn't this too bullying? Woo...

Because Zhao Hao has been in Luzon for several years, this group of new disciples who have entered the imperial examinations after the imperial examination were all recruited by senior brothers on behalf of the master. Until now, they don’t even have the name of a formal disciple, which makes them feel that they are inferior. So they are particularly sensitive to this kind of thing, and they think that who has hidden the portrait of the master and deliberately bury them.

"Why are you yelling? I put away my master's portrait!" Wang Wuyang, who had already grown beards, glared at him and said.

"Why?!" The disciples asked the senior brother in silence.

"Because there is no need." Wang Wuyang coughed, turned around and bent down and said, "I am not welcome to Master!"

Sure enough, Zhao Hao appeared in front of the disciples with steady steps surrounded by a group of personal disciples. He is twenty-five years old this year. Although most of the disciples are still older than him, at least they don’t look so inconsistent.

"Ah, Master is alive!" Those disciples who had only seen Zhao Hao in the portrait were all shocked to see the master who was vivid.

"What nonsense is it? It's a living master..." Wang Wuyang glared and was kicked by Zhao Hao in the butt.

"Advisors, it's too late for the master." Zhao Hao waved and smiled apologetically at the raised children.

"It's good that Master can come!" The passion of the students was ignited instantly and they cheered excitedly.

"That's great, we are not raised by little maids..." Many enthusiasts who were very concerned started to cry happily.

It is really important for the master to come back in time to show his face, otherwise they will always be short of the brothers in the future...

"Okay, okay, don't be excited. When we leave the examination room, we have time to meet. It's not too early, hurry up and worship the Supreme Master." Zhao Hao kindly asked the disciples not to be too excited. After leading them to burn incense to Confucius, he put a big hat on each of them by himself, tied the hat belt tightly, and said each: "It won't land."

The students immediately added enough domineering clothes and reluctantly bid farewell to the master. Then, with the company of their own scholars, they rushed to the tribute court with full confidence...

Zhao Hao entered Beijing last night, but after returning to Zhao Family Hutong, he neither met his grandfather nor his father.

Grandpa went to Guangdong for the winter and held the 6th sea and sky feast by the way. He hasn't come back yet.

However, I will definitely return to Beijing next month because the 6th Chuwan Spring Championship will be held...

After the Chuwan Championship is over, the old man has to take a boat to Yangzhou again to hold the annual Slim West Lake Jockey Club.

In the summer, the old man will switch to the Qinhuai River again, fulfill his duties as the president of the Jinling Mahjong Association, and hold various activities aimed at promoting the mahjong movement, such as the Sparrow Grand Prix, the undressing mahjong competition...

I will wait until I return to Beijing to host the most important Chuiwan Autumn Championship. Finally, I will go to Guangdong to spend the winter and start a new round of cycles after the New Year... I will definitely be more tiring than being an official.

But he enjoyed it, and he insisted that his life lies in exercise, especially some kind of exercise. As long as he can keep moving, he will stay young, and if he stops, he will be far from death...

The old man has made such harsh words. What can the children and grandchildren do? He can only let him...

As for Mr. Zhao, he didn't have any fun, and he didn't have the courage. Even if he had the courage, he didn't have the energy anymore...

In fact, he had already entered the tribute court a few days ago.

Because he is the deputy chief examiner of the undergraduate examination, he presided over the spring examination together with the chief examiner Shen Shixing!

It is legitimate to say that "the spring scenery in January is gone, and I am fat and strong."
