Chapter 20 Enlightenment and Application

Su You shook his head.

Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "This is the very fine powder that my father extracted by the flying water method according to your method, this is realgar, this is cinnabar, and this is pearl ......."

After speaking, he dipped his hand in a little pearl powder, let go of the back of his hand, and the pearl powder went into the pores, and said, "Look, how delicate." ”

Su You was surprised: "Three thousand eyes! ”

Mrs. Cheng was slightly stunned: "Xiaoyou, what do you mean?" ”

Su You hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, it's like this, I once thought about how to classify the particles of substances according to coarseness. ”

"The particles are all sieved out through a sieve, and the coarser the sieve, the coarser the particles sieved out, and the finer the sieve, the finer the particles sieved out."

"The sieve is actually composed of warp and weft threads, and I can get a field character by one inch in length and width, three longitudes and three wefts, and the four holes in the middle are four eyes."

"In the same way, the four longitudes and four latitudes are the nine eyes."

"By analogy, the denser the meridians and latitudes, the more meshes per unit area, and the finer the holes."

"I tried to measure the thickness of the pores in my skin, and finally calculated the fineness of the pores, which should be above 3,000 meshes."

Mrs. Cheng was a little dizzy when she heard this: "You have nothing to do with this?" ”

Su Youyu was speechless, so he had to touch his nose in embarrassment: "This...... The younger brother is bored. ”

Mrs. Cheng sighed and said: "Like Zizhan, he has more than enough intelligence, and in addition to the scriptures, he also has many hobbies, which is a good thing." Xiao You, if you like this science, you can study it carefully. ”

"This science is actually extraordinary. The so-called enlightenment is applied to the former. I hope you can go hand in hand, inspire each other, and combine the two. This is the right way, and it will be feasible and beneficial to the world. ”

Su You was very impressed by Mrs. Cheng, this is the first person in the world to affirm his deeds, this kind of open-mindedness, even the parents of later generations can do it.

Hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The little brother will live up to what his sister-in-law taught." ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled: "Don't be so restrained, Zizhan Ziyou is very casual in front of me, just say whatever you want, the children's words, sister-in-law will always listen carefully." ”

When Su Banniang got along with Su You alone, she always persuaded her, but now she said good things to Su You: "Uncle Xiao is very well-behaved, but this time he helped me a lot." ”

Mrs. Cheng turned her head to Banniang and said, "I haven't said anything about you yet, do you know what went wrong this time?" ”

Su Banniang was a little embarrassed, and secretly stuck out her tongue: "Mom, Banniang shouldn't act like Meng Lang and think things too simply." ”

Mrs. Cheng sighed: "This is certainly one of the faults, but it is not the most important thing. Your biggest mistake is to hide it from your grandfather, and even more so from your parents, do you know the consequences of doing so? ”

Su Banniang bowed her head gloomily and said: "Banniang is not filial, which makes my father and mother worried." ”

Mrs. Cheng sighed and shook her head: "Not only that, but things have come to this point, and you don't tell your family when you are sick, do you know what direction it will go if there is really something and people on both sides are kept in the dark?" ”

"With your father's temperament, he will definitely think that you have been treated harshly in the Cheng family, which will cause estrangement between the two families, and even turmoil in Meishan City, have you thought about this?"

Banniang was shocked at this time: "Banniang knows that she is wrong, the child really didn't think of this." ”

Su You's admiration for Mrs. Cheng's insight is another layer, and Mrs. Cheng's inference for the follow-up, although it is not far away, Ming Rui is like this, and he is the husband in the boudoir.

In a blink of an eye, I saw Mrs. Cheng mention herself and said: "In the future, learn more about Xiaoyou, and think carefully about everything in detail, and then you can do it later." “

"Fortunately, you are also very good, I have also read the regulations of movable type, which is very impressive, and the grasp should be between seven and eight points."

Su You hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, the younger brother will definitely do his best to help Banniang succeed." ”

After thinking about how to organize the language, Su You continued: "Little brother has thought about it, even if it doesn't work out in the end, we have a lot of skills. For example, calipers, such as milling, such as coarse subdivision, these things are not only useful for movable type printing. ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled at Banniang: "See? Xiaoyou is what her husband does, and he has a broad vision and draws inferences. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the powder in the box and said: "Take powder making as an example, in addition to mud refining and medicine, you can mix gouache and makeup honey, and even make ink, right?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Sister-in-law clearly sees that in fact, every small breakthrough in the process will bring progress in various industries, and it is not limited to one corner. But what the younger brother just thought of, he ran to eat. ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled: "I haven't thanked you for the two dishes you sent at noon, this matter is related to the reputation of the Su Shi family, you have to do it well." ”

The two agreed, and Mrs. Cheng asked, "Then tell me, how is flour making related to eating?" ”

Su You said: "The water flying method is actually to use water as a medium to separate the particles of objects into thickness, but the younger brother thinks about it, in addition to water, it can also be wind. ”

Mrs. Cheng was a little curious, and asked suspiciously: "Oh? ”

Su You's hand flashed slightly, and in the pillar of light of the sunset in the house, countless dust flew and disturbed: "Sister-in-law, you see, if there is a box, the bottom is filled with powder, and it keeps tumbling, and then the wind is blown in from the tuyere, and the light powder will be blown high, and a tuyere will be taken out from a high place, and the particles will be pulled out and collected on the filter screen, and a very fine dry powder will be obtained." Those substances that change when exposed to water can be separated into fine powders by this method. ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled and nodded: "It's really a matter of course, wait, what do you want to do with this thing?" ”

Su You licked his lips: "Little brother wants to know, what will the cooking cake made of such wheat flour taste like?" ”

Mrs. Cheng and Banniang couldn't help laughing, and Mrs. Cheng smiled: "It seems that the little brother is hungry, Banniang, go and inform the kitchen to get some snacks." ”

After Su You thanked her, Mrs. Cheng said: "Xiao You, things in the world are easier said than done, Banniang has already suffered from it, you are very smart, and general things are difficult, but there are also hardships waiting for you." ”

Su You said: "What my sister-in-law said, but the saint is righteous? ”

Mrs. Cheng said: "With your understanding, Jingyi is the least worrying sister-in-law. I'm worried about another discipline – rhyme. ”

"Your plan for movable type, things are clear, everything is desirable, but in the coding together, according to the side of the code, I think a little worse."

Su You wondered, the dictionary of later generations, in addition to pinyin, is the radical, which is very suitable.

However, the ancients had the wisdom of the ancients, so Su You bowed to Mrs. Cheng and said, "Please also ask my sister-in-law for advice." ”

Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, I have more than 50,000 Chinese characters in the Song Dynasty, and I look for words by side, and the number of words on each side is too many." ”

"Changed to the rhyme department, more than 200 rhymes, the arrangement is more reasonable."

Su You suddenly realized that there are only a few thousand Chinese characters commonly used in later generations, and there are no comparisons with the current literati, and many Chinese characters, such as Hanlian, Wanjue, and Handan, are almost words.

But nowadays, it is one of the commonly used words, and each word may not be used alone.

Mrs. Cheng saw that Su You understood, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a little thorough." Xiaoyou, you have to keep in mind that poetry is the threshold for the imperial court to take scholars; This rhyme is also the threshold of poetry. ”

"The eight rhymes cited during the test should not only be mixed in the rhyme, but also the order of the rhyme should not be reversed. If it's a little out of line, it's the end of the downfall. ”

Seeing that Su You's face was a little pale, Mrs. Cheng smiled: "Xiao You doesn't have to worry too much. I Xishu Wenzong, Cheng Sima, Yang Xiong's learning, starting from the Han Fu Zhangci, so the rhyme is originally the strength of Xichuan Shizi, and it can take a lot of advantage when taking the exam. ”

Su You still felt a little chilly in his heart, at the level of his classical literature lover, even if he read a bunch of books in vertical layout in later generations, and knew traditional Chinese characters, but he could only grasp more than 10,000 flexibly, which was far beyond ordinary modern people.

But it is still four or five times short of the level of 50,000 words.

Don't...... Do you really want me to be the Churchill of the Great Song?
