My Life Simulator

Time to go to August.

In the fields around Lujiazhuang and Jinshanwei, the lush crops have begun to head, and the harvest is very gratifying.

The chicken, duck and geese breeding organized by Xinger Lianer, under the artificial incubation technology, the number of chickens, ducks and geese has increased sharply and has reached a scale of tens of thousands.

The scale of pig farming is also growing, and the piglets have already been born once. Although it has not yet reached the standard for slaughtering, there are already thousands of pigs.

The reproduction of cows and horses is relatively slow. At present, cows and mares are in the gestation period and have not yet produced cubs.

Since this time, the guns in the workshop area have already completed their production tasks. Ten thousand rifles, ten thousand pistols, one thousand artillery pieces, and countless bullets, shells, and grenades have filled the arsenal.

The progress of recruit training is also constantly advancing. The first batch of 1,000 recruits has completed three months of military training and has initially formed combat effectiveness. The second batch of 4,000 recruits also trained for two months.

During this period of time, thanks to the strong deterrence of Jinshanwei, Songjiang Prefecture and the surrounding prefectures and counties have no pirates dare to come to make trouble, and the environment is very stable and peaceful.

While paying close attention to military training, Lu Li organized research and development in logistical support, and carried out a lot of reform measures in terms of military uniforms, food and grass, transportation, etc., with obvious effects.

Special transport vehicles, new military uniforms, individual rations, and other materials have all entered the stage of mass production.

In August, it was already the time for the rural examination for the imperial examination.

The township examination of Southern Zhili was held in Jinling.

This time, Lu Li still took the test. For nothing else, the brand of raising people is much harder than being a scholar. With a reputation in the ranks, Lu Li, a military officer, would not be rejected or despised in front of the civil servants.

With the social environment like this, Lu Li had no choice but to adapt.

On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, Lu Li took a class of personal guards and drove several carriages all the way to Jinling to participate in the Nanzhili Township Exam.

The procedure of the imperial examination is still a routine.

Searched into the field, received the license plate, entered the numbering room, handed out the papers, and then started the test.

In this exam, Lu Li was lucky enough to come across another exam question that he had read in Baguwen in later generations.

This eight-part essay is the only original copy of the Zhuangyuan volume that remains in later generations. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the exam paper of the champion Zhao Bingzhong.

When Lu Li and Han Lao were studying cultural relic identification, he also specially studied this eight-part essay.

Now that he encountered the same exam question and remembered this champion paper, Lu Li was naturally too lazy to use his brain and copied it directly.

After taking the hometown exam with ease, Lu Li didn't pay attention to his grades at all.

If the champion of the Wanli year cannot pass the exam in the Jiajing Dynasty, then it is definitely shady, and the Ming Dynasty will still finish the game!

Lu Li was concerned about another matter.

Fighting Japanese pirates, or even fighting Tatars, or all the armies in the world, Lu Li is confident enough to push the world horizontally and unstoppable.

However... Japanese pirates can go to sea!

In addition to the Japanese pirates at sea, there are also Western French aircrafts who are vigorously launching a large nautical movement.

Today's Spanish duck, its tentacles have reached Southeast Asia. This time next year, the Grape Ducks will enter Haojing (Macau).

Therefore, it is urgent to build a fleet as soon as possible and form a maritime force.

Lu Li came to Jinling this time mainly for the shipyard under the Jinling Ministry of Industry.

At that time, Jinling Shipyard built the largest armada in the world. It was here that Zheng He's treasure ship sailed to the West.

Today, the treasure ship has long been demolished, the workshop has long been dilapidated, and even the blueprints of the treasure ship and Zheng He's nautical charts, navigation techniques and navigation records have all been set on fire by Liu Daxia, a "famous official of the Qing Dynasty".

Fortunately, with Lu Li's knowledge level, it doesn't matter without these things. The chart is drawn by himself, and Lu Li can also figure out the most important judgment of orientation and distance in navigation technology.

Even if Lu Li wants to design a ship, although Lu Li is not a professional, it is not too difficult to design a sea ship according to the principles of fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, material mechanics and buoyancy.

The only difficulty is... no craftsmen!

Lu Li can theoretically design a warship, and to make it, he can rely on craftsmen.

When he came to the old site of Jinling Shipyard, Lu Li saw a ruin.

Jinling Shipyard, which was originally capable of producing the world's largest sea-going ship and possessed the world's strongest shipbuilding technology, is now... just like a barren mountain.

Dilapidated buildings, overgrown fields, and a desolate sight. When Lu Li and his party passed by, they could even see a few wild rabbits running around.

After walking around the ruined Jinling Shipyard site, Lu Li didn't find half a figure.

Hundreds of years have passed, and the craftsmen who built the treasure ship will naturally not be alive today. Their descendants have long since fallen apart and disappeared.

Lu Li sighed and shook his head helplessly. Only to find another way!

Nowadays, there are many people who run boats and go out to sea in the southeast, and there should be many people who understand shipbuilding. Although it is all in the hands of the local tyrants, but...under the barrel of the gun, what can't be obtained? If it really doesn't work, then it can only be arrogant and domineering.

"Who are you?"

When Lu Li turned to leave, he suddenly heard a loud shout.

Turning his head to look, at the riverside in the distance, a beggar in dilapidated clothes, leaning on a bamboo pole, stood in the bushes on the shore, watching Lu Li and others with vigilance.

"This officer, the commander of Jin Shanwei, Lu Li, who are you?"

Lu Li reported the origin and asked the beggar again.

"I...I am..."

A flash of panic flashed in the beggar's eyes, he raised his head and glanced at Lu Li and his party, then... turned around and ran.

"stop!"

Lu Li let out a loud roar and hurriedly rushed out.

After finally seeing a living person at the old site of Jinling Shipyard, Lu Li naturally couldn't let him run away like this.

With Lu Li's sprint speed of 100 meters, he quickly caught up with the beggar.

Reaching out and grabbing, Lu Li grabbed the beggar, held it down, and fell to the ground.

But...why does it feel a little soft? Could it be that this guy is still a girl?

"what……"

The beggar who was pushed down by Lu Li looked like a madman, struggling desperately, and even opened his mouth and bit Lu Li's arm.

What the hell! Aren't you a dog?

Lu Li quickly withdrew his hands, dodging the ferocious bite.

"Okay, okay. I'm not here to catch you!"

Lu Li let go of the beggar and said quickly, "I just passed by here, not here to catch you."

"Bah! Dog officer!"

The beggar scolded again, staring at Lu Li angrily, looking desperate.

"What you said is a bit over-the-top! The officials are not necessarily all dog officials, and the common people are not necessarily all honest and kind."

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "Okay. I really didn't come to catch you. I asked you something, and I'll leave after I ask."

With that said, Lu Li pointed at the ruined shipyard ruins, "You live here? Then do you know where the people who were here before have gone now?"

If you ask the government about the whereabouts of these craftsmen... no one knows at all, believe it or not?

"There's no one here!"

Seemingly seeing that Lu Li was not here to arrest him (her?), the beggar stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and said, "Some of the people who used to live here have moved away, some have run away, and some have left. I'm dead, I'm the last one alive."

The answer did not exceed Lu Li's expectations.

"Then... do you know where those people who left have gone?"

Lu Li stretched out a piece of silver and handed it to the beggar, "I want to hire a boat. Do you know their whereabouts?"

"You want to build a ship?"

Reaching out to take the silver in Lu Li's hand, the beggar grinned and pointed at himself, "For shipbuilding, look for me! As long as you give me money, I will build any boat. Even if you want to build a treasure boat."

"just you?"

Lu Li raised his brows and said deliberately, "You still know how to build a ship? It's almost the same as an origami boat."

"Captain Treasure is forty-four feet long, eighteen feet wide, six masts, and uses a giant tree in southern Yunnan as the keel..."

Agitated by Lu Li, the beggar opened his mouth and revealed a series of treasure ship data.

"stop!"

Lu Li waved his hand to interrupt the beggar's words, with a smile on his face: "Report your name and origin. I will give you one hundred taels of silver every month, please help me build a boat."

"One hundred taels per month?"

The beggar's eyes widened, stunned by the huge monthly salary.

"My name is Zheng Yuan, my ancestor Zheng He!"

The beggar raised his head, his face proud.

Are you kidding me? If I didn't know Zheng He was a eunuch, I almost believed it!

Lu Li pouted, "Okay, don't talk nonsense! Be honest about the origin. The eunuch Sanbao has no descendants!"

"Who said there are no descendants?"

The beggar roared, "My ancestor, Ma Wenming, inherited the incense of the Zheng family. Naturally, we are all descendants of the Zheng family." (Ma Wenming's adopted name is too scary to write.)

It seems... like it's true?

Zheng He's original name was Ma Sanbao. After he became famous, it was normal to find a nephew from the Ma family to adopt him.

only……

Lu Li looked down at this "descendant of Zheng He", feeling a little helpless. Zheng He, who is famous in history, has his descendants mixed up like this, which is really speechless.

On second thought, this is normal.

Under the urging of "clear and famous officials", the treasure ship was dismantled, the workshop was destroyed, the drawings and records were all burned, and Zheng He's descendants may not have a good life.

"Zheng Yuan, right?"

Lu Li nodded at the beggar with a smile, "One hundred taels a month, come with me! Build me a boat."

"it is good!"

The beggar looked at the silver in his hand, and then looked at Lu Li, and felt that Lu Li, this handsome and extraordinary guy, should not look like a bad person.

Well, looks are justice.

A good looking person is not a bad person? Who told you that!

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders, waved his sleeves, turned around and left, taking only one beggar!

...

Back at the inn, let the beggar wash up, change his clothes and come out, Lu Qi lighted his blindness.

This Zheng Yuan, with a delicate and three-dimensional face, delicate and fair skin, has the feeling of a mixed-race beauty.

"You... do you have an alien blood?"

Lu Li couldn't help but ask Zheng Yuan.

"You are the alien, you are the barbarian!"

When Zheng Yuan heard this alien bloodline, she was furious and roared at Lu Li.

Well, in the era of the Ming Dynasty, it was the greatest insult to say who had an alien blood.

Even at the risk of offending Lu Li, Zheng Yuan couldn't help cursing.

"Sorry, I said something wrong!"

Lu Li understood this kind of mentality of Yanhuang Guizhou, and even agreed with this mentality a little, and quickly apologized to Zheng Yuan.

We're not racist because...in our eyes, all but ourselves are barbarians, and it doesn't make any difference at all. (laugh)

Lu Li's apology actually startled Zhang Yuan.

"My lord, I'm being arrogant!"

Zhang Yuan quickly apologized to Lu Li.

"All right. All right."

Lu Li waved his hand, "Tell me about shipbuilding!"

Next, Lu Li and Zheng Yuan had a detailed discussion about shipbuilding.

During the conversation, Lu Li discovered that this Zheng Yuan is really a genius with high IQ. All kinds of ship data and shipbuilding craftsmanship are so familiar and clear.

"Where did you learn these things?"

Lu Xin was a little curious and couldn't help asking.

"Our Zheng family is famous all over the world for maritime affairs. The family has been looking forward to the day when the country will open the sea and sail again. This knowledge has been passed down from generation to generation."

Speaking of this, Zheng Yuan looked a little sad, "However, hundreds of years have passed, and the voyage is far away. The Zheng family... I am the only one left."

"It's not too far away!"

Lu Li nodded to Zheng Yuan with a serious expression on his face, "Build me a ship! We will sail to the sea and cross the ocean!"

"Um!"

Zheng Yuan looked up at Lu Li and nodded seriously.

...

Having gained a professional in sailing and shipbuilding, Lu Li is very satisfied with the harvest of this trip.

And then... Lu Li's exam also passed successfully.

A few days later, the Nanzhili Township Examination List was released, and Lu Li passed the township examination with the second place in the township examination, and was awarded the title of honor.

The reason why it is the second, not the first, is only because Lu Li already has an official position.

In order to avoid suspicion, the chief examiner knocked down one name of Lu Li's article "The Talent of the Top Scholar" and placed it in second place.

Lu Li didn't care about it himself, being able to gain fame was enough for Lu Li.

With the status of a leader, Lu Li, the commander of Jinshanwei, no longer has to kneel before the civil officials, even in the period of noble and noble martial arts.

In the test, he also got the second place in the test. Lu Li naturally also received a lot of banquets.

The communication between these literati is not important to Lu Li at all, nor is it meaningful. If you have this time to talk to them about business, it is better to go home and train your troops.

After rejecting all kinds of banquets and all kinds of literati and elegant affairs of seeking flowers and asking willows, Lu Li took a group of people and returned to Huating County all the way.

The goal has been achieved.

Next, Lu Li will start building warships and training the navy.

At this time, Lu Li felt a little regretful. In the astronaut plot, why didn't he go to the navy to play around?
