Chapter 28 Reportage

Xu County Magistrate said that his subordinate Song Zhiyu's political sensitivity was really not very good. Such a major event was not reported in time, which made the county only know that Mr. Kang and Mr. Kang had two inventions that could be recorded in history. It was really a dereliction of duty!

County Magistrate Xu had already gone back and forth in his mind. This matter is probably more valuable than the magic of Mao Geng, which is known as the clock. How to operate it himself and put this vast achievement into his pocket is serious. If you don’t make any achievements at this time, then when will you wait!

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Xu asked:

"How does Teaching Song view this matter?"

Teacher Song had a ghost in his heart, just because he never saw Kang Yuliang, and he blamed Mr. Kang for always contradicting Guan and offended Master Song. Teacher Song had been suppressing Mr. Kang before, but now suddenly Mr. Kang made two inventions. Teacher Song was quite resistant for a while, so he would not report to Magistrate Xu in time! Now, when he saw the county magistrate asking, he said:

"The blackboard chalk and wax paper engraving are both good, especially this wax paper engraving is a great creation in this dynasty. However, Xiaguan is also like the county master. It is a bit strange. The method of blackboard chalk teaching is said to be the most handy. Mr. Kang is not as easy as Mao Geng used it. Xiaguan thought that Mr. Kang had not shown any signs before. When Mao Geng came, he suddenly created two wonderful methods of blackboard chalk and wax paper engraving. Mr. Kang's inspiration would not come early or late. As soon as Mao Geng came to Baixi Guanxue, Mr. Kang's inspiration would come immediately. Xiaguan was worried that it might be a bit strange. If someone borrowed the power of the local snake and swallowed the merits of the rectified person, if that was the case, it would be inappropriate."

Teaching Zhiyu looked at the eyes of County Magistrate Xu, afraid that County Magistrate Xu would blame him for his jealousy, and said carefully:

"To be on the verge of caution, the lower official is asking people to learn more about the details. I wanted to find out the whole story before reporting to the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the verge of the

County Magistrate Xu smiled lightly:

"It's okay, it's okay. It's good if you're cautious."

Xu also knew that the Song Zhizhizhi was narrow in size, but he had only known that Baixi official school had a stubborn old man, and he really didn't know what Mr. Kang had to do. From Zhang Haisan's report, the chalk should have been made by Mao Geng. At that time, Mao Geng and Kang Lao had no contact. It might have been true that Song Zhizhizhi was right. Both things might have been written by Mao Geng.

However, Xu Magistrate Xu has been in the officialdom for many years. Although he is very gambled, his mind is extremely powerful. Xu Magistrate Xu immediately thought that Mao Geng is a reincarnated guest. After all, he is not aware of the origin. If all this was not created by Mao Geng but copied it! It would be fine to copy the paranormal like his master. What if Mao Geng copied the ready-made things from the Jin Man! Anyway, no one knows whether the Jin Man has these two things.

Think about it, the ready-made skills that the Jin people had were brought to the Song Dynasty by a converted man who secretly learned skills. The Song Dynasty did not observe it, and according to the words of the converted man, it was not said that the converted man returned to the Song Dynasty, and that would not be lost, but his face would not be lost. I am afraid that even the Song Dynasty would be lost.

Thinking about this, it is a safe way to let Mr. Kang take on this title.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked:

"Was Mr. Kang, as written in this "Baixi Academy", a person is upright?"

Teaching Zhiyu had no choice but to answer truthfully:

"Old Kang is honest, but he has a stubborn temper and is a bit extreme in his work."

When County Magistrate Xu heard this, he felt a secret in his heart and immediately said:

"There is no need to investigate this matter again, it must be caused by Mr. Kang."

Go back and explain:

"There is a great talent like Mr. Kang in this county. I should visit him in person. Tomorrow we will go to Baixi Town together to visit Mr. Kang."

*******

Mao Geng stayed up again that night, but fortunately he didn't have his own class tomorrow. Now 73 students are crowded in three classrooms. Mr. Wang and Mr. Kang are teaching today, so they can take a break and sleep in.

The next day, before Mao Geng woke up, he heard outside shouting:

"Brother Geng, Yao Ming is here."

Mao Geng was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly heard the call for Yao Ming coming, thinking that Yao Ming was not easy to see, so he should not miss the opportunity to sign. So he got up, and didn't even have time to wear shoes, so he ran straight out of the door and shouted:

"Is Yao Ming here? Where? Where? Wait, wait, wait, sign me a name."

When he came out, he saw seven or eight Yao people dressed in Yao clothes, unloading the goods hunched down by six short horses. Among the goods, the most conspicuous ones were two high-waisted wooden barrels, and the basket was filled with coal. Wen Yuan saw that Mao Geng was so embarrassed and couldn't help but grin. Mao Geng realized that he had heard it was not Yao Ming but Yao Min.

The horse team arrived first, and encountered an acquaintance on Fuguo Railway and delayed it. Then he arrived and quickly apologized to Wenyuan and Mao Geng:

"Sorry! After a step late, the tobacco carbon that Mr. Mao was looking for was pulled. The wooden barrel of the medicine bath was also pulled."

Mao Geng had never thought that Xinhua also produced bituminous coal. According to Fu Guojin, the bituminous coal burned and the house was filled with smoke, so no one cared for it. No one was going to mine this bituminous coal because the selling price might not be enough to meet the cost of mining. Fu Guojin felt strange. Although the smokeless carbide was easy to burn but did not smoke, Mao Geng did not take the smokeless carbide seriously. Although he was puzzled, he arranged for Fu Guotong to find it. Finally, he asked a bituminous coal mine that had been abandoned after digging a pit. He dug some smoked carbide. He picked it up today and asked Mao Geng to identify it.

Wen Yuan greeted:

"Haha, it's hard to find the soot carbon! Isn't it easy?"

Fuguo Tie smiled and said:

"No one usually uses this soot carbon to burn, and it is despised by others. It is almost forgotten in that place. It is finally found out that some of the soot carbon is worthless."

Mao Gengxin said that he knew that bituminous coal should be used to coking, but anthracite was not easy to use. Later generations, a great man used anthracite to make coke in the 21st century, but it is said that he used a unique secret trick. He did not understand other secret tricks, so he had to use bituminous coal. The bituminous coal should be glued and the ash content should be low. As for other requirements, he also knew limited. After touching the bituminous coal sent, it seemed to be a bit sticky, and he didn't know how to make coking. If he could use this kind of coal to make qualified coke, the cost should be a big advantage.

The Fuguo Tie and Yaomin had just left, and Zhang Haisan arrived.

Wen Yuan asked:

"Brother Zhang, why are you here? Aren't you going to the sidewalk?"

"Why, aren't you welcome to come here? Let me tell you, I'm afraid I won't go to the sidelines for the time being, so I'm going to stay with my two brothers for a while."

Mao Geng thought that the rumors about gold and silver mines could not have spread so quickly, could it have been effective so quickly!

Zhang Haisan didn't keep it a secret and said:

"I came here early in the morning to engrave the blackboard chalk and wax paper. This matter has been so amazing that the county master will come to Baixi in the afternoon. Here we are here to stand in front of the front."

Mao Gengxin said that he had prepared a reportage-like article in accordance with the practices of later generations. He published it in the "Baixi Academy" and naturally wanted to package Kang Lao as an outstanding figure in the Song Dynasty with flesh and blood. Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Xu attached so much importance to it. This person's nose was very smart.

Mao Geng murmured:

"Oh, that's it!"

Zhang Haisan then asked Wen Yuan:

"Is the text about Mr. Kang written by Brother Wen in the Baixi Academy of Sciences? Why did the blackboard chalk be created by Mr. Kang again? I asked this in private, but I just had some questions. After asking, it would be rotten in my stomach and would not say it is known to everyone."

In Zhang Haisan's eyes, Wen Yuan lies and said it, "There is no other person to make up such a ridiculous story except him." Wen Yuan looked at Mao Geng and did not answer.

Mao Geng didn't want to reveal that this was his masterpiece, and was a little curious about the reactions from the outside world, so he avoided not talking about the author's issue, but asked instead:

"Does the county master think Mr. Kua Kang praises too much?"

"No, the county master thinks it is better to praise it higher. The county master will be short of those who have said the comments in the following article. Two gentlemen came here with the county master in the afternoon. In short, the county master means to write a style of comments that the people love to listen to, that is, to praise Mr. Kang as a rare god-like figure in the world. Haha!"

Wen Yuan smiled and said:

"What's the benefit for us?"

"The county master is here to tell me that the two brothers can make a lot of money, which is the benefit! Give your reputation to Mr. Kang!"

Mao Geng smiled and said that this County Magistrate Xu is worthy of being the County Magistrate Xu. He made Mr. Kang famous and affordable. He has a very good way!

Seeing that Mao Geng had no objection, Zhang Haisan achieved his goal, so he turned to the gold and silver mines. According to Zhang Haisan, the county town had spread, and it was afraid that the city would be full of wind and rain in a few days. The Dun family had sent people privately, quietly looking for gray-black glowing stones and burnt black charcoal.

After hearing this, Mao Geng thought that he had finally made some noise.

In the afternoon, a team of people led by the county master arrived at Baixi Guanxu. Teaching Master Song accompanied Xu County Magistrate to visit Mr. Kang. It is said that Kang's eldest son was also called by Xu County Magistrate. Xu County Magistrate wanted to praise Mr. Kang in a high-profile manner and promote the reunion of the Kang family. Naturally, he had to set up a grand occasion in Baixi Guanxu and borrow the Su family courtyard.

But the two gentlemen came to Mao Geng to discuss how to compile the deeds of Kang Lao. The older gentlemen were about forty years, with the surname Luo, and were aides of County Magistrate Xu. They were the chief officer appointed by County Magistrate Xu to compile the deeds of Kang Lao. The younger ones were also in their thirties and had a surname Cui. According to Zhang Haisan, both of them were very literary and had a number of figures in Xinhua.

When Mr. Luo learned that Zhang Haisan had already done the work of Mao Geng and Wen Yuan, he was not polite at the moment and directly put forward the editor's opinion. Mr. Luo was worried that Mao Geng would resist at first, but Mao Geng had no objection. He didn't know that Mao Geng was used to packaging techniques in later generations. Mr. Luo's fraudulent Taoism seemed shocking, but in later generations, it was really nothing more than Er. The five people quickly reached an agreement and formed the following consensus:

First, Mr. Kang invented the engraving of blackboard chalk and wax paper half a year ago, but Mr. Kang did not announce it before. It was only when the two gentlemen of the Wang family and Mao Geng came to Baixi official school, the Baixi official school reopened. Mao Geng encountered a problem. Professor Mao Geng’s mathematics was different from others, and the time for printing textbooks was too late. It happened to be that Mr. Kang thought that children could teach, so he revealed his achievements;

Secondly, punctuation marks are also a set of symbols that Mr. Kang created by decades of teaching experience, drawing on some books with sentence reading marks, and expressing the meaning of a sentence;

Third, Mao Geng was not without contributions. Arabic numerals were compiled by Mao Geng according to the records of the master. As for the records, they were obtained from the scattered chapters left by the bearded guest who founded the country overseas. In addition, the horizontal row was for the convenience of wax paper engraving. Mao Geng felt that the vertical row would damage wax paper when he used wax paper to engrave, because the vertical row was from right to left, and his hand borrowed strength on the carved wax paper, which could easily lead to damage to the carved wax paper, and changed to a horizontal row, from top to bottom, and there would no longer be such problems. These two items are Mao Geng's contributions.

It turns out that there were three cobblers, who were the best of Zhuge Liang! Five people were together and had a brainstorming, and some interesting stories from the invention process were added, such as helping his mother-in-law accidentally poured ink on wax paper. The wax paper was engraved by Mr. Kang to make a Lantern Festival lantern. As a result, the ink was soaked in it and became half the word "Fu" in a book. Mr. Kang was inspired by this, which led to the subsequent wax paper engraving. This little story was of course the main creator of Mao Geng, but some other little stories are also a masterpiece. Even the romantic stories of Mr. Kang when he was young were added with several gossips about love triangles.

Finally, even Zhang Haisan thought that he could use commentary to talk about Mr. Kang's story. According to his inference, there must be no shortage of listeners.

However, Mr. Luo was not satisfied with calling Mr. Kang's words a review, so Mao Geng proposed that it might be called reportage. After all, this was published in a scholarly journal. There is a word "study" that should be done! The result was unanimously approved.
