Chapter 43: You must first sharpen your weapon
Chapter 43 �
Lu Dajiang said: "No matter what, Lord Zhou has no idea of discriminating against our children. We may be able to make them join Master Zhou's disciples and will not have to be craftsmen in the future."
Shi Dajiang said, "Is this possible?"
Lei Dajiang said, "Mr. Zhou isn't a Jinshi?"
The questions they asked were different because they were in different situations. Shi Dajiang was the lowest-level craftsman, while Lei Dajiang had reached the peak of Ming craftsmen. After all, he was able to participate in the competition for the Ming emperor's grand work.
For Shi Dajiang, what if he wants his descendants not to be craftsmen?
But Lei Dajiang wanted to give his descendants a better future.
Everyone knows that the most expensive Jinshi among civil officials is the two different classes of Jinshi and not Jinshi.
Lu Dajiang said: "It is feasible or not, just try it. As for Lord Zhou is not a Jinshi? If he is really a Jinshi, can we get in touch with him?"
The three of them sighed, drank several glasses of wine, and then they dispersed.
Early the next morning, Lu Dajiang began to implement his plan.
When Lu Dajiang saw Zhou Mengchen, he said, "Mr. Zhou is profound in knowledge and has never been known to his predecessors, which makes me amazed. I am old and I can't understand some things. Can I get the younger generation to join the teacher's disciple so that I can command me?"
As soon as Dajiang Lu said this, Dajiang Lei and Dajiang Shi looked at each other, stood up and said, "Please help Mr. Zhou."
Yang Hongliang looked uncomfortable and said, "Didn't you become a disciple like this?"
Yang Hongliang felt that they were now using them. Their ancient brains to become disciples seem to have the intention of forcing them to be forced to do so. Why don’t they become disciples and be disobedient and stop working?
Zhou Mengchen waved his hand and asked several people to sit down.
To be honest, he was a little overwhelmed with taking in disciples.
After all, the responsibility between master and apprentice is too great, and it is much closer than that between graduate students and graduate supervisors. If you really pass on your disciples in person, although the disciples have to support the teacher in their old age, the master will also ask about the disciples’ marriage and children.
Zhou Mengchen didn't want to have so many disciples.
But he never wanted to restrict his knowledge spread. But sometimes he also had to follow the local customs. If Zhou Mengchen said that he did not need to become a disciple, I would teach unconditionally. When others listened to it, they would not be grateful, but did not believe it, or even suspected that there was something wrong with it.
However, Zhou Mengchen's recruitment of disciples in the Imperial Heaven Supervision can also be considered a model of summarizing it and saying: "I have always adhered to the principle of teachings and learning from me. As long as I am willing to listen to my lectures and learn from me, I can be a registered disciple or a disciple outside the school, without any restrictions. However, today you are talking about this, let's do this. After this project, I will give a test. The best one among you disciples can be included in the school. As my fourth disciple."
If all of them are registered disciples, it is obviously not close enough. It is necessary to have a personal disciple, just like Yang Hongliang becomes the eldest brother of the group of registered disciples of the Imperial Heaven Supervision, and this personal disciple will also become the eldest brother of this group of craftsman disciples.
Moreover, Zhou Mengchen also needs many things to do with superb craftsmen.
After all, science is a practical science, and many things cannot be solved by just calculating or drawing drawings. They need to be implemented by someone.
With such an intimate relationship between the master and his disciples, Zhou Mengchen has brought these craftsmen into his own disciples.
The three masters said in unison: "Thank you Mr. Zhou."
Then they looked at each other and their eyes suddenly changed.
What's the best thing to eat? The best thing you snatched is.
Originally, were they asking their children to take Zhou Mengchen as their teacher? The three of them had different intentions in this matter, but suddenly they found that Zhou Mengchen only gave one quota, and they immediately changed their previous thoughts, that was, they must take it down.
Although Zhou Mengchen said that the registered disciples are the same as the personal disciples and professors, who believes it?
They are all masters. Who doesn’t know that the disciples of the person will receive separate teachings from the teacher, and the registered disciples can only learn some good things. If anyone says that the registered disciples learn the same as the disciples of the person, whoever believes is a fool.
Of course, this may not be wrong.
After all, after Zhou Mengchen accepted it as his personal disciple, Zhou Mengchen naturally had to make careful arrangements, hoping to grow them all into scientific talents who can independently study.
After setting this rule, the attitudes of the three masters immediately changed.
If yesterday, the three of them were just passively listening, but today they were actively involved.
Yesterday I talked about the most basic mechanics principles, and it was just a few concepts and formulas, but in application and reality, it was ever-changing. These three masters have half their life experience, and have put forward strange cases and construction accidents and discussed them.
Soon, Zhou Mengchen's three disciples could no longer withstand it.
When they were studying, they did not imagine such cumbersome applications, and many things were strange and troublesome. Of course, if they were given a longer time, they might not be able to explain it clearly. But at this time, how could they have such a long time?
Zhou Mengchen had no choice but to come in person.
The house layout has also been changed.
The layout between them is a long table in the middle, with the corresponding sides sitting. Now it has become a long table that has been crossed and becomes a lectern. There are a large blackboard hanging behind it and there are rows of seats below, with about fifty or sixty people. The reason for this is because of many problems, Zhou Mengchen also needs to draw a schematic diagram to explain it clearly.
After explaining these clearly, Lei Dajiang asked a question and said: "Mr. Zhou, your calculations are all air-to-air, but in reality, the tolerance of various materials is different? So what should I do?"
Zhou Mengchen also had some headaches and said, "Experiences one by one, calculations one by one, and leave a margin. Sometimes, don't be afraid of putting in a hard time, and these parameters can be used in the future."
So, the observatory changed a lot again.
Many samples of wood, iron and copper were carried in one by one, and began a series of troubles. Zhou Mengchen and three masters worked together to measure their data in various aspects.
Of course, Zhou Mengchen did not study architecture either. If his measurement method was read by later architects, he would definitely point out how many mistakes and omissions were not known, but no matter what, it was a pioneering achievement. This piece of information might be the first building material parameter list.
Zhou Mengchen is so busy that Tengxiang can't sit still.
When he came to visit Zhou Mengchen, he saw countless woods in the yard, various situations, including those with stones hanging underneath, those with stones on top, those with water, those with fire, and those with wood blocks and weighing. And so on, there are all kinds of things.
But Tengxiang couldn't understand any of them.
He found Zhou Mengchen, but saw Zhou Mengchen discussing the drawings with three masters.
When Zhou Mengchen saw Teng Xiang coming, he did not dare to neglect it. He asked the three masters to discuss it first. He personally received Teng Eunuch.
Tengxiang said, "Mr. Zhou, it's not that I'm in a hurry. It's been a month since you've been struggling in the yard. There's no sign of starting work. Now the emperor asked, but he was covered by his godfather, but he couldn't cover it up all the time. Do you want to give our family a correct statement? There must be a construction period, right?"
Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly and said, "Don't be anxious. If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your tools, right? This celestial body meter is extremely complicated, so you must first understand it. Otherwise, you will be on the horse in a hurry. Once something goes wrong, that's a big deal? Don't be afraid of having a good meal, why don't you wait?"
Tengxiang looked at the messy things in the yard, complaining endlessly in his heart, not knowing what these things have to do with the celestial meter? But he said, "The reason is this reason, but you can't wait for it, you have to give me a word, right? Let me deal with it?"
Zhou Mengchen estimated in his heart and said, "The construction will be started in another month. Please rest assured that once the construction starts, the speed will be much faster."
Zhou Mengchen was not cheating on Tengxiang. All kinds of materials such as wood and iron are ready-made. These masters have rich construction experience. As long as the design drawings are all done, it will be like building blocks, and it will be a matter of minutes.
