Man is an adaptive animal.

In just a few days, Master Shen adapted to life in the mountains, and also adapted to his current identity, and even opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call himself "a teacher".

As for the relationship between Shen Fuxuan and Wang Yuan, it seems that some subtle changes have taken place.

Whether it is Wang Yuan's reading talent, or the earthworm pond in the forest, or the Sanhe soil on the other side of the dam, they only play a catalytic role in accumulation.

The real qualitative change is the sentence "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article"!

Shen Fuxuan's main talent is not to do Bagu articles, nor to teach children to read, he is a master who has worked for more than ten years. He can figure out the decision-making of the court, and he can manipulate the adjutants and officials, but he does not understand the world and is not humane, how can he do it like this?

The couplet from "Dream of Red Mansions" is equivalent to speaking directly to Shen Fuxuan's heart, perfectly summarizing his experience in life over the years.

The shock in Master Shen's heart can be imagined, and he was even so excited that he swore an oath on the spot, convinced that Wang Yuan had Su Hui. He no longer regarded Wang Yuan as an ordinary disciple, but as a struggling friend who could support each other.

At the other end of the green bar forest, a large clearing was artificially cut out.

In the middle of the clearing, there is a large earthen kiln made of mud.

Shen Fuxuan came to the kiln, looked up for a moment, and said, "Brother Yuan, this lime kiln, I'm afraid you can't build it alone. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and didn't explain.

Liu Yaozu hurriedly replied: "Second Brother Wang deceived the owner of Fangzhai miserably, saying that the things burned from the kiln could repair the canal, so that the whole village helped him build a lime kiln." Everyone was busy with two farming seasons, but the aqueduct has not been repaired yet, and the owner of Fangzhai is so angry that he wants to burn the house of Wang's second brother. ”

"The owner of Fang Zhai is not so easy to deceive, right?" Shen Fuxuan said suspiciously.

Wang Yuan smiled cheaply: "Haha, it's inconvenient to talk about this matter in detail, let's not mention it for the time being." ”

In fact, the process is very simple, as a veteran engineering dog, I found that the Black Mountain Ridge is full of limestone, and it is easy to find kaolin. What could Wang Yuan think of?

Fired cement, of course!

In his previous life, Wang Yuan's family opened a cement factory, but later it was shut down for environmental protection.

But after the crossing, no matter how Wang Yuan experimented, even if he set up the legendary artifact earth blast furnace, it still could not reach the furnace temperature that could burn cement.

In desperation, I can only retreat to the next best thing and get the Sanhe soil out first.

Like cement, the main raw material is limestone, but the temperature required for firing is several hundred degrees lower.

In order to persuade the owner of Fangzhai to build an earthen kiln, Wang Yuan made great efforts. Fooling around and saying that the things burned by this thing could be used to build an aqueduct, Fang Ayuan was suspicious and summoned people.

In addition to the barren land, the main reason for the poor village is the lack of irrigation water.

There is only a small stream in the water source in the village, which is still a collection of mountain spring water, which is simply not enough during the busy farming season. People need to go to a cave a few miles away to get water, and there is an underground river in the cave, but the mountain is very steep, not suitable for building near the cave.

The underground river was too deep, so it had to be tied to a bucket with a long rope, and it was very difficult to lift water up.

Wang Yuan cooperated with Carpenter Liu to create a pulley set to make it more convenient and labor-saving for the villagers to get water - it is precisely because of this that Fang Ayuan believed Wang Yuan's nonsense, and built an earthen kiln to burn lime, planning to gather the strength of the whole village to build an aqueduct.

That's not the case at all!

The garbage kiln designed by Wang Yuan has a low success rate of firing lime. Even if the limestone is smashed and thrown in, more than half of the waste will be burned, and it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and cannot meet the demand for building an aqueduct.

The project plan failed, and the lime waste was reused, and a three-way earth dam was simply built to dry grain.

As for the diversion canal, the construction is too difficult, and Wang Yuan is also in a rut. He didn't think about building an aqueduct, but just experimented with the idea of a lime kiln under the guise of it.

Obviously, the owner of the Fang village was fooled.

Master Shen slowly squatted down, picked up a lump of hydrated lime that had already condensed, and asked, "That's how the chalk came from?" ”

"Yes," Wang Yuan said with a smile, "there is a lot of lime here, and it is all useless waste, which is enough for Mr. to finish the Four Books and the Five Classics." ”

Master Shen stared at the slaked lime and was distracted, and suddenly became poetic for a long time, reciting Yu Qian's "Lime Yin": "Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns as if you are idle." Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world! This situation and this thing make me think about Su Su Gong, stand up and turn the tide, but in the end I ended up like that. ”

Curious baby Liu Yaozu hurriedly asked, "Who is Mr. talking about?" ”

Although Wang Yuan didn't know about Yu Sushugong, he had studied "Lime Yin", and he could guess that it was Yu Qian's name.

Gangdeke said Su, insisted on making a decision, said Su, cultivated the law and said Su, and Zhengji took down Su; In the country, when the country is in trouble, the disaster is said to be sad, the country is in trouble, and the danger is served - to be honest, the additional name given to Yu Qian by Emperor Hongzhi is already very appropriate.

Later, Emperor Wanli changed Yu Qian to Zhongsu, changed the word "loyalty", and removed the word "sorrow", which is meaningful.

Master Shen told the two disciples about Yu Qian's deeds and admonished: "Remember, you can't be too upright. It is easy to break and attract jealousy, and it is inevitable that it will be plotted by Xiaoxiao, and it will be even more suspicious of the king. ”

Liu Yaozu was very smart, nodded and said: "My father also said that don't be strong, you should be soft when you should be soft." ”

Master Shen asked Wang Yuan again: "Brother Yuan, what do you think?" ”

Wang Yuan sneered disdainfully, and was arrogant: "Blindly obey softness, how can you do big things?" ”

Shen Fuxuan was speechless for a moment, and suddenly, he seemed to see another Yu Qian. Thinking about the disciple's fists and feet, a strange picture can't help but appear in his mind - Wang Yuan stood on the court, threw away the wat board suddenly, rolled up his sleeves and beat the speech official, and beat the speech official repeatedly: "Wang Er, I am convinced, please spare my life!" The emperor hurriedly dissuaded: "Wang Er, give me a face, don't kill people on the spot." ”

Liu Yaozu looked at Shen Fuxuan: "Sir, why are you stunned?" ”

"Huh? Nothing, nothing. Master Shen came back to his senses and shook his head to dispel those ridiculous fantasies.

Wang Yuan asked, "What is the matter that Mr. came to me in the forest?" ”

Master Shen said: "If you want to take the imperial examination, you must get a household registration. And no matter what method is used, you must make money to get a household registration. When I saw that you were able to mix the three-way soil, I wondered if I could make money from it. ”

"There is no possibility of making money," Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I also wanted to make money with Sanhe soil, so I tricked the owner of Fang Zhai into building a lime kiln for me." But the cost of burning lime is too high, and if it is transported to the bottom of the mountain to be sold, ordinary people simply cannot afford it. ”

"Why don't you sell it to Toast?" Master Shen asked.

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "Tusi is just a bunch of bandits, completely unreasonable. If the Tusi learns the benefits of Sanhetu, he will definitely be unwilling to pay for it, and it will not be easy to directly compile the villagers as artisan households? For Tusi, there is a more trouble-free way, transfer troops to level the green village, capture the villagers to be slaves, and make Sanhe soil for him. ”

Master Shen was speechless for an instant, speechless.

In the state and county where he is the master, no matter how corrupt the officials are, they must also talk about the basic rules. But this kind of rule is ineffective for Tusi, even if you kill all the people in Qingzhai for no reason, no one will investigate them, and the people are not human to the imperial court, at least not in the legal sense!

"Let's not mention the way to make money in Sanhetu," Shen Fuxuan said of another matter, "The top priority is to go down the mountain to buy books, and by the way, buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstone." If you don't practice calligraphy seriously, do you also use blackboard and chalk during the imperial examination? There are only ink rolls in the palace test, not Zhu scrolls, do you want the emperor to hold a blackboard to give you some champions? ”

Wang Yuan laughed happily: "When Mr. said this, it seems quite interesting." ”
