    After Zhao Hao had shaken enough, Li Zhi took out his hand without leaving a trace, wiped it on his back, then looked at him warily and said:

    "With the same virtue, we have the same heart, and with the same heart, we are comrades. How does Dr. Zhao know that I will be of the same mind and heart with you?"

    "Uh" Zhao Hao then realized that he was so excited that he lost his temper.

    After all, Li Zhi at this time was just an ordinary university teacher who was struggling to make a living. He had not yet stepped onto the platform in Jinling and spread his shocking heretical ideas throughout the world.

    Naturally, I don¡¯t know how famous I will be in more than ten years.  I don¡¯t know what a shining star I will become in the long history.

    I don¡¯t even know what kind of expectation and trust is contained in Zhao Hao¡¯s word ¡®comrade¡¯

    Then let us start a great friendship from now on!

    He asked Qiaoqiao to make tea again, and sat on the floor opposite Li Zhi. After greeting Li Zhi again, Fang smiled and asked:

    "Dr. Li, why are you here?"

    "I want to go to heaven and see." Li Zhi said with a dry smile.

    "I don't believe you have such leisurely elegance." Zhao Hao shook his head flatly.

    Li Zhi couldn't help but change his face when he heard this.  He first looked at Zhang Jian who was waiting on the side, but then he realized that he had never mentioned his family situation to Zhang Jian at all.

    "How did you know?" Li Zhi became wary again.  At his age, after going through so many hardships, he will not be as easy to believe in the good intentions of the world as young people are.

    "I just know." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and almost choked Li Zhi to death.

    "But, how do I know, is this important?" Zhao Haoxin said, if I can explain it clearly, there will be ghosts.

    "Uh" Li Zhi frowned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's really not important."

    "So what is your real purpose?" Zhao Hao asked slowly.

    "Okay, I admit, I'm not interested in science at all. I just want to see if I can get some money from you."

    "After all, you have to be well fed before you can study science, right?" Li Zhi spread his hands and said honestly: "My whole family is hungry."

    Originally, several of Zhao Hao's disciples wanted to come over and join in the fun, but after hearing this, they hid far away.

    ??Who is so full that he is looking for trouble?  Uh, Master, we are not talking about you, old man.

    ??~~

    Zhao Hao knew that Li Zhi was in quite a miserable state at this time.

    His family was originally a wealthy businessman in Quanzhou.

    You guessed it right, it¡¯s a maritime trader.

    Then the Japanese Rebellion broke out, the Quanzhou Shipping Department was shut down, and the Daming Sea was banned.

    Not all maritime merchants have the courage to continue smuggling.  What's more, even if you have the courage to do it, you must have the ability, otherwise you will just be delivering food to others.

    So the life of Lao Li¡¯s family was Wang Xiaoer¡¯s Chinese New Year, and every year was worse than the last.

    When it came to Li Zhi¡¯s father¡¯s generation, it was really poor and the people couldn¡¯t open the pot all day long.  Until there was smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, Li Zhi passed the exam.

    However, the hard days of the old Li family were not over yet. After Li Zhi passed the examination, he failed the examination twice in a row.

    With a large family to eat, and his younger siblings not yet married, Li Zhi really couldn't continue taking the exam, so he gritted his teeth and signed up for the competition at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and was appointed as the magistrate of Huixian County, Henan Province.

    Hui County is a poor place, and the salary of the lecturer is pitifully low. As a result, the financial situation of Lao Li's family has not eased at all.

    It was not until five years later that he was promoted to doctor of Nanjing Imperial College because of his outstanding teaching.

    Li Zhi happily took office.  Because although Nanjing is no longer the political center, it is richest in the world.  Especially those who studied in the Nanjing Imperial College were all children from wealthy families who had donated money to attend school.

    I heard that these people would give gifts to teachers during holidays and before exams. With this gray income alone, they no longer have to worry about livelihood issues.

    However, he has just started memorizing characters.

    Within a few months of arriving in Nanjing, Li Zhi received an obituary notice that his father had died of illness, so he had to leave his post and return home to Ding You.

    Ding You had no income during his period, and there were Japanese pirates in Quanzhou at that time.  While participating in the anti-Japanese war, Li Zhi was struggling to make ends meet for his family of dozens of people. Not only was he physically and mentally exhausted, but he also owed a lot of debt.

    After three years of service, Li Zhi brought his wife and children to Beijing to wait for the post, which lasted another ten months.  At this time, he was extremely poor, and his second son also died young.

    But fate did not end playing tricks on him. Li Zhi finally waited until the doctorate at the Imperial College in Beijing became vacant, and the news of his grandfather's death came again

    Because my father is no longer here,Zhi must take care of his father Dingyou.  He could only leave office as soon as he took office again, just like he did three years ago.  But this time Li Zhi had no money to return home with his wife and children, so he had to divide the "condolence money" presented by his fellow villagers in Beijing into two parts and leave one part to his wife.  Let her take her children back to Huixian County to buy a piece of land to live on, and the remaining money will be used to pay for the funeral when she returns home.

    Three years later, when Li Zhi returned to Huixian to reunite with his family after finishing Ding You's visit, he learned that Henan had suffered from famine in recent years and that both his second and third daughters had died of poverty and illness.

    Successive blows almost destroyed the family. With deep regret, Li Zhi took his wife and children back to Beijing and continued to teach at the Imperial College

    "As a result, the court ran out of money again, and no salary was paid for several months" Li Zhi sighed in frustration, and smiled bitterly at Zhao Hao: "And it was only when I got to the Imperial College that I realized that it is true that students give gifts, but they are all for  They are the officials who control their destiny. No one is willing to waste a penny on doctors like us who only teach and do nothing."

    As he spoke, he pointed to Zhang Jian and said: "This child is an exception, but he is also poor and cannot support himself."

    "I didn't know the doctor's family was so embarrassed." Zhang Jian couldn't help but look apologetic.

    He is no longer as poor as he was when he became a disciple last year. He has saved two to three thousand taels just from the various rewards given by his master.  Moreover, for creating the 'Drainage King', the master also rewarded him with 5,000 taels of silver. In addition, as the technical director of Xishan Coal Industry, he still has an income of 100 taels per month. He is already a real little rich man.

    Zhang Jian is a person who knows how to repay kindness. If he had known that Li Zhi's family was so poor, he would definitely help.

    Li Zhi waved his hands and sighed: "I wouldn't have talked about these things without your master telling the truth."

    As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Hao and said, "The reason why I came to Dr. Zhao is because I first heard that you are rich."

    "Well, I'm very rich." Zhao Hao nodded.

    "Second, I think you need my help." Then Li Zhi continued: "I know you have recruited a lot of students, and these people are all here for the imperial examination, but your science obviously has nothing to do with the imperial examination"

    Zhao Hao couldn't help but blush when he heard this. Li Zhi is a sensible person.

    Li Zhi is certainly a sensible person. There was no one in the Ming Dynasty who saw the problem more thoroughly than him.

    "You may or may not be good at imperial examinations, but regardless of whether you are good at it or not, I believe that manpower is sometimes scarce. You should focus on teaching things that no one knows, and leave things to others that can be taught by others."

    Li Zhi said, looking at Zhao Hao with a clear look: "Like me."
