“The Four Books and Five Classics are, of course, the words of sages, but science is also a means of understanding the world.”

"Why water flows to lower places, why birds can fly, why fish can live in water, these can all be answered by science."

After a series of questions, Zhu Ming looked at Wang Juren seriously and slowly said, "One day, we can fly with the help of science."

Wang Juren was confused by Zhu Ming's words. He boasted that he was knowledgeable and even thought that he was no worse than the bigwigs in the court.

But I have never learned what Zhu Ming said.

"You will know when the time comes."

Zhu Ming chuckled and said nothing more. He said that they would understand after he brought the books over.

"I am resigning."

Wang Juren could only shake his head, bowed to Zhu Ming again, and retreated.

He was just curious about these things, and there was no need to dig so deep into them.

"Your Highness."

The handsome young man stood at the door, looking straight at Zhu Ming, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Is something wrong?"

Looking at Gousheng who was able to stand up and walk on his own, Zhu Ming chuckled and asked.

Now Gousheng’s legs have almost recovered, but some traces of his previous injuries can still be seen when he walks.

Gousheng turned his head and looked in the direction where Wang Juren and the others left.

She had been living in the county government office, watching people coming in and out of the office every day, and had some basic understanding of the county's affairs.

"Is what you just said true?"

She walked in front of Zhu Ming and her expression finally changed.

Just now, he heard Zhu Ming say that people can fly.

Is that science really that powerful?

"of course it's true."

Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively. As a person who came back from the era of airplanes, let alone flying, even breaking out of the earth is possible.

However, it is still too early for the Ming Dynasty to have airplanes and rockets.

“Can I go and learn?”

Seeing Zhu Ming so sure, a little desire appeared in Gousheng's eyes.

She also knew that studying was a very expensive thing, and she was penniless, so she now depended on Zhu Ming for food and lodging.

Even if Zhu Ming refused, she would not have any complaints.

"of course can."

Zhu Ming agreed without thinking.

He is not afraid of others reading, but he is afraid that others do not read.

Moreover, Gousheng can also find his own value in learning, and not think so little of himself like he does now.

"I don't have any money. When my leg gets better, I'll go out and earn money to pay you back."

When Gou Sheng heard Zhu Ming agree so easily, he was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Ming's kindness to her made her feel ashamed.

How could she deserve Zhu Ming to treat her like this?

"No, your body is not suitable for this."

Zhu Ming shook his head. Gousheng was already thin and if he continued to do hard labor, he would get sick from exhaustion.

"Although I, Gousheng, am not a person who is ungrateful."

Gousheng gritted her teeth. Since Zhu Ming had helped her so much, she had to repay him no matter what.

Zhu Ming could only smile helplessly, not knowing how many times he would have to explain it to her.

I helped her because she was also one of the victims, as were Zhaodi and Meihua, mother and daughter, that's all.

"You come with me."

Gousheng looked at Zhu Ming firmly, whispered something, then turned and left.

Looking at her back, Zhu Ming became confused and followed her with confusion.

"What did you bring me here for?"

In confusion, Zhu Ming followed Gou Sheng into his room, and his doubts became even deeper.

What did she bring herself here for?

Gousheng turned around, moved his pillow away, took out a dagger from his bottom and put it into Zhu Ming's hand.

"This is for self-defense. I'm giving it to you."

This dagger is of fairly fine workmanship, and it's obvious that the craftsman who made it is a highly skilled person.

But this is the only thing worth praising, the rest, whether in terms of materials or design, is mediocre.

Such a dagger is nothing to Zhu Ming, who was born in the imperial city, but it is the only thing that belongs to Gousheng.

She has short legs and is unable to move, so she keeps the dagger close to her body for self-defense.

The fact that she gave all these things to Zhu Ming also shows her trust in Zhu Ming now.

"This……"

Zhu Ming looked down at the dagger but did not reach out to take it.

"I didn't steal it. It was given to me by a blacksmith I worked for."

Seeing Zhu Ming's hesitation, Gousheng subconsciously felt that Zhu Ming regarded the dagger as stolen and dirty, so he refused to accept it.

"That was not what I meant."

Zhu Ming looked at Gousheng, thought about it, and finally took the dagger.

Since Gousheng feels that he owes him something by accepting his help.

Then accepting this dagger would make her feel better.

Seeing that the dagger was already in Zhu Ming's hand, Gou Sheng seemed to be relieved.

Although this thing is far inferior to the help Zhu Ming has given me, at least I can give something back to Zhu Ming.

"This is the tuition fee for studying."

Zhu Ming put the dagger away carefully, smiled and said, then turned and walked out.

Gousheng looked at Zhu Ming's back, remained silent for a long time, and then sighed helplessly.

"Your Highness."

Meihua was now at the door of her room, looking at Zhu Ming and calling him obediently.

Zhu Ming also walked over and rubbed her head.

After this month, the plum blossoms have grown plump and white, and look even cuter.

"Does Meihua want to study?"

Zhu Ming lowered his head, looked at the short little girl, and asked.

"think."

Meihua nodded, then shook her head: "Mom said that studying is a man's job, we can't do it."

After hearing Meihua's words, Zhu Ming was also stunned. It seems that these people's thinking needs to be changed and the concept of equality for all needs to be popularized.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing Zhu Ming in a daze, Meihua felt cold for a moment and called out cautiously.

"Plum blossoms are no worse than men. If you want to study, I'll take you there."

Hearing Meihua's voice, Zhu Ming came back to his senses and smiled at her: "In my place, regardless of gender, as long as you want to study, I agree."

"Really, Your Highness?"

Hearing Zhu Ming's words, Meihua also jumped up happily.

In the past, she had watched children of her age go to private schools and was extremely envious.

Now she finally has the opportunity to study.

"When have I ever lied to anyone?"

Zhu Ming also smiled at Meihua affirmatively, thinking that he always did what he said.

"No."

Meihua thought about it and shook her head.
