Good to persuade the party
Iron smelting is a mysterious, ancient and important technology, and the formula is always in the hands of a few people in the Tian family.
Even he had to go through several masters before becoming the master blacksmith of Taihe Prefecture Iron Smelting Bureau.
Only he knows what kind of technical work blacksmithing is. It is sacred and mysterious. It is a secret method passed down by ancestors for thousands of years. Even if there are some unsatisfactory aspects, how can future generations change it at will?
"I don't agree with your idea." Li Yewu shook his head: "Why did our ancestors make iron?"
"Of course it is to facilitate future generations' farming and self-protection." Si Ge answered honestly.
“Yes, tools are built for work, but reality tells us that they are no longer enough to meet people’s daily needs.
As a child, in order to express his gratitude to his mother for sewing a small coat for him, even if he grew taller, he would still wear this small shabby coat instead of changing the small coat to a size that suits him. Is this reasonable? "
"This... how can this be the same..."
"What's the difference? If this person improves his little jacket, he can wear it all his life. If he doesn't change it, even if he can wear it at the age of seven or eight, what if he is 30 years old? In the end, this little jacket will either be eliminated and discarded, or it will collect dust in the corner, wouldn't it?
pity?
True respect should be to continuously improve the things created by ancestors and make them shine even more.
Otherwise, it will only be eliminated by the times and submerged in the long river of history."
"!!!"
At this time, Si Ge's heart was extremely shocked. His eyes trembled and he was speechless for a long time.
It took Si Ge a long while to hold back her excitement, and she raised her hands and bowed with conviction: "What the princess said is true, please give me some advice."
Li Yewu didn't expect that the ancients were so easy to persuade. Whether it was the old housekeeper, Cui Fuyin or Si Ge, she just gave an example to warm up. Without much effort, these people were already convinced. The speed of acceptance was really impressive.
She was caught off guard.
Isn't it said that the ancients loved to debate, no matter it was about poetry, songs or anything else, once a poetry meeting broke out, it would be a three-day and three-night non-stop debate among the Confucian scholars without repeating words...
It seems that not all ancient people were like this, at least not most of the people Li Yewu met.
So much so that she had an unreal feeling as if she had prepared a large paper, only to have it passed by her tutor just after reading the topic.
However, upon closer analysis, this is indeed in line with the thinking of the ancient working people.
She has always felt that the working people in ancient times were the smartest, most capable and the best at learning.
The reason why the ancients were able to invent so many things was that, first, they were good at thinking, and second, they benefited from the lack of information. Precisely because of the lack of information, once a piece of news came from afar, they would feel like they had found a treasure and be ecstatic.
For example, if someone invented a waterwheel that can automatically irrigate crops, the ancients would never say: a joke or nonsense. Instead, they would ask carefully what the waterwheel is, how it is made, and the secret.
What is.
Regardless of whether the other party knows it or not, he will readily accept this idea and start thinking about it. Soon, a similar waterwheel or a better and more practical waterwheel will appear here.
Looking back at modern people, material abundance has made it simple for people to do whatever they want, and they have slowly lost their ability to think. Moreover, even if you don’t go out with your mobile phone, your computer can know everything about the world. It is this kind of "I know everything"
Cognitive bias has imprisoned modern people.
Suppose you tell them that someone has made a kite that can not only fly but also carry people.
Their first reaction was definitely: fart, bragging! Do you think Lu Ban is still alive?
Then he crossed this piece of content with a curse.
It goes beyond the realm of science and cognition that people recognize, so the first reaction is to brag and make nonsense.
It is precisely because of this that although the quality and education level of modern people have generally improved, there are fewer and fewer capable people.
Of course, this is just Li Yewu’s sentiment.
The most important thing at this time is to convince Si Ge to study new blacksmithing methods with her.
If Si Ge can accept his own ideas, it will be easier.
"There is a method, but I only know the method but have never practiced it, so you have to show me the materials and production process of cast iron."
"yes."
When the young lady was selling flowers in the capital, she came into contact with many talented people and strangers in the world, and she knew many secret techniques that were spread in the world.
They already knew this when the little lady blew up the mountain.
So Si Ge didn't hesitate at all and walked into the workshop with Li Yewu.
There are still 9 people in the factory, all of whom are from the palace. They don't know why the young lady is here. They are all a little curious, and their eyes are full of the clarity and stupidity of college students.
Li Yewu was naturally attracted to such simple eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
"Speaking of which, why are all our people here? Where are the others?"
She thought there would be many old masters or outsiders in the iron shop. Could it be that they all went to refugee camps?
"Last year, the third prince discovered a lot of extraterrestrial meteorites in Shanhu State. The weapons made from those meteorites are very hard, so His Majesty sent all experienced blacksmiths to assist the third prince in forging armor weapons.
All our old masters from Taihe Prefecture have also been dispatched."
Fortunately, Si Ge and the others learned how to forge, otherwise there would be no one in Taihe Prefecture who knew how to forge.
At this time, except for the people in charge of the shop who were still from the official family, the factory had been taken over by Xiao Jiuxi's people.
Li Yewu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. It seemed that Xiao Jiuxi was a bit lucky. His entourage worked voluntarily to subsidize the palace and even helped him build an iron shop.
If Xiao Jiuxi wants to rebel and uses this iron shop as a base to secretly forge weapons, he will have great achievements in the future!
But Xiao Jiuxi didn't have this brain, and when he was trapped in the capital, all the followers in Taihe Prefecture ran to rescue his master and lived and died with him.
The iron shop that I finally mastered was naturally given up to others.
Li Yewu shook her head. Xiao Jiuxi missed such a good opportunity, but she would not let it go.
It's better if there are no outsiders, so she can concentrate on research and development without fear of leaks.
Moreover, she must protect such an excellent worker.
We must find a way to turn them from Xiao Jiuxi's loyal servants into his loyal servants!
…
Speaking of which, the Iron Smelting Bureau is a men's territory. Due to the special working environment, women often work shirtless, and women are most taboo about entering the iron shop workshop.
Even if I go, I will only bunk in the front and never step into the backyard.
Of course, in order not to offend the guests, the blacksmith was not allowed to go to the front shop.
But Li Yewu didn't have such a taboo. Let alone showing her arms and chest muscles, even if they danced vigorously, she would never be moved.
Compared with men, working on infrastructure is much more interesting.
So why is shyness? Sorry, she only has infrastructure in her eyes.
