Chapter 147 to be read together

The old man smiled and took the bamboo ruler: "Well, it's really beautiful, then write a few words, 'Pet it is the next, and you will be surprised.'" 'Come, put your palm out and try it.' ”

Su You stretched out his little hand, and the old man took a ruler and compared it in Su You's palm, and nodded with satisfaction: "The size is just right, not bad." ”

Su You retracted his palm behind his back like lightning: "Old man, what do you want to do?!" ”

The old man shook the bamboo chip in his hand: "I don't understand the meaning of those eight words?" That's the original sentence of the "Tao Te Ching" that was used, isn't it right to write it on the precept ruler? ”

You're so bad, old man! How can you bully honest people like this!

Although he knew that this thing was going to be used by the old man to beat himself, he couldn't help but write with acid, spray black words with an alcohol blowtorch, and dipped a muslin in tung oil, polish the bamboo ruler to be translucent, and finally wrapped it in white rattan at the handle, for fear that the old man would not use it well.

It was getting dark, and after making a ring ruler, Su You carefully took out a lamp from his suitcase.

It's a gas lamp.

The "steam" used in later gas lamps refers to the steam of kerosene; A gas lamp is a gas lamp that burns kerosene steam enough to heat the asbestos net, and then emits a strong white light.

There are no oil resources in Meizhou, and Suyou still uses alcohol blowtorches to transform into gas lamps, which has one more advantage than kerosene gas lamps - there are no bad gases and smoke.

In the era of electric lighting, the complicated operation of gas lamps and the degree of risk of fire caused by electric lamps were simply a joke compared to electric lights.

However, in a long historical period, even in the early days of liberation until the 80s of New China, gas lamps were the lighting artifacts in many villages, and only the precious gadgets that could be used in temple fairs and social dramas.

In the village where Su You's descendants lived, in the old warehouse of the village office, he once turned this thing out.

However, after tinkering for a long time at that time, it was finally lit, but there was no lighting effect at all, but the old branch secretary smiled upside down.

In the words of the old branch secretary, this thing is an old antique, like an eighty-year-old woman, who has no good milk and doesn't care about it.

The so-called milk is a stalactite-shaped lamp mesh made of asbestos yarn, without which the lamp cannot be lit.

Su You first poured alcohol into the lamp pot, poured some light into the lamp tray, and put a carefully woven and then pickled asbestos lampshade on the lamp head.

The lampshade is in the shape of a stalactite, and although it is heated after ignition, the flame is still flowing red.

Carefully enlarged the valve little by little, the alcohol vapor is pressed into the mesh cover of the asbestos lamp, which is thus burned more fully.

The steam flow grew larger and larger, and finally with a bang, the red-hot asbestos lamp mesh cover was blown into the shape of an incandescent bulb by the steam, and at the same time emitted a strong and dazzling white light.

The slight squirting sound of the gas lamp indicates that it is finally in optimal operating condition.

Su You took the thin metal mesh cover to protect the lamp head, covered it outside the gauze cover, and the lighting work was finally completed.

When he looked up, the whole room was as bright as day, and even the wrinkles on the old man's face could be seen clearly.

It was also clear, as well as the old man's ghostly expression, and the white beard that trembled as if he had come to life: "This ...... Mingrun: What are you? How can it be so bright? ”

Su You is very satisfied with the lighting effect: "This is called an alcohol gas lamp, this one is only a small one, if there is a large one, two lights can illuminate a large stage." ”

After speaking, he was still a little dissatisfied with the lamp: "If there is a glass lampshade outside, it will be perfect." Okay, the lights are on, I haven't read a book all day today, hurry up and make up for it. ”

The old man happily took a book from the shelf: "Fight a table, fight a table...... I explained Run, this thing is two big ones, hanging in the Ming Hall of the School Palace, is it possible for the scholars to continue to study at night? ”

Su You nodded: "Theoretically, this is the case, but one bottle of alcohol used in this lamp is equivalent to two bottles of Yongchun dew." Our small lamp consumes half a bottle a night, that is, well, three or four times. ”

"If you want to illuminate the lobby of the school palace, two headlights, the lighting fee for one night is almost twelve."

"There is also the asbestos gauze of the gas lamp head, which becomes white ash after the gas lamp is extinguished and cooled, and if you pinch it lightly with your hand, the gauze will turn into powder and fall off. To use it again, it must be replaced with a new gauze. ”

"You must have heard of the fire raccoon cloth, this asbestos gauze cover, the same material as the fire raccoon cloth, but also after selection and processing, the workmanship is also finer. Therefore, the cost is higher than that of Huohuan cloth, and a gauze cover can cost five hundred dollars. ”

"In addition, large gas lamps are prone to fires, so in order to use them in the school palace hall, the entire building must be treated with fire protection. The wood structure is repainted with a water glass solvent as a fire-retardant coating. That thing is now in short supply on the salt well, and it is not sold on the market, and the cost is quite high. ”

"If you can get the Jiang Qing family to agree to pay this money, there will be no technical difficulty at all."

The old man almost cried in fright: "This little lamp burned four times in one night?!" Right...... I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so rich......"

Are you kidding! If there are really two big lights, it is thirteen lighting fees a day! Thirteen thousand dollars! Almost half of the students in the school palace consume a day!

Su You said with a smile: "There is a golden house in the book, and this can actually be understood in reverse." I had a golden house before I dared to read. I, Jiang Qing's son, have never spent money on studying. Four times of money in exchange for two more hours of daylight than others every day, what a bargain it is......"

The old man hurriedly sat down: "Hurry up, it's money all the time......"

After a while, I saw Tang Yan also come in with a few books: "I know that you are reading, this thing is simply an artifact for our readers, Long Lao, I will make a table......

The next thing is to study, Tang Yan also pointed out tomorrow's content to Su You, and began to preview, Xiaozao tutoring.

If you have a question, Su You's current level of Confucianism is almost equivalent to Xiaobai, and the questions asked are generally thought about by the other two people a long time ago, and they are basically difficult.

Tang Yan himself also had questions to consult Long Changqi, and between the two questions and answers, Su You pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, and he was also very impressed by their knowledge.

Confucianism is a branch of Chinese culture, but every Confucian master is definitely a master of Chinese culture with one specialty and multiple abilities, without exception.

If you only soak in the Thirteen Classics for a lifetime, it is impossible to soak in Confucianism.

Because this discipline is very special, it is a network structure in itself, and it is also a comprehensive discipline.

A Confucian master, based on the theory of the Great Song Dynasty, must also be a historian, a politician, a writer, or a philosopher with great possibility;

His theories often refer to astronomy, geography, and Taoism;

His research even involved medicine, occupation of agriculture and industry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting......

The problem of Confucianism is actually a social problem; Social issues have always been complex.

Therefore, it is particularly important for a teacher who is knowledgeable, able to sort out the context, and has a clear outline.

If you cut it, if you learn it, if you grind it, if you sharpen it, you can learn from each other. It is the way to benefit from this science.

This is what the Master said, "If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." It is also the reason why there is a special reason for "friends and more information" in the Master's theory of "three friends of the beneficiary".

At the same time, this is also the key to the fact that scholars attach so much importance to travel, and the children of the family are often a Dorje. Because they not only have learning materials that others do not have, but also master the learning methods, learning conditions, and even learning costs that others do not have.

Su You looked at the two of them with a smile and a question, feeling like a mouse that had fallen into a rice tank.

It's really not an ordinary happiness to be able to listen to it on the sidelines......

A hundred years later, "Shuxi Magazine" recorded: "Dragon, Tang, Su, taste read together in Meishan School Palace." It is said that when it is the time, the light is full of brilliance, the hole is like day, and the slenderness can be seen ten zhang away. ”

"After that, every night until the oil is gone."

"It's nonsense, but it's all the three generations of Wenhua, gathered together. It is inspired by heaven and earth, illuminating the auspicious clouds. ”

"After decades, Meishan Wat is full of roads, the crown is like a cloud, the field is victorious, and the first is even the square. Or use it as a starting point. ”
