The strong man was still a little confused about his sitting posture at the moment, so in the face of this question, he instinctively replied yes.

And the next moment, when the other party stretched out his hand, as if to pull him up, he suddenly came to his senses. I just wanted to hold the other party and question him, but I was inexplicably knocked down! At that moment, the elegant and handsome face of this little Langjun in front of him seemed to be full of unfathomable, so that not only did he not respond to others' outstretched hands, but his face was full of vigilance.

And when Zhang Shou saw the appearance of this strong man, he knew that Ah Liu scared people a lot.

He glanced at Ah Liu helplessly, and seeing that his face was full of innocence, he pointed at Lu Sanlang next to him with his index finger, and said with a smile: "This uncle, the person who invited you here is the son of Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of War, this Lu Sanlang, but he invited you for my teacher." I haven't had time before, and I've kept you waiting for days, so I'm really sorry. ”

The big man looked up at Zhang Shou's face next to him, which was obviously very unnatural, but he still squeezed out a fat young man, and then looked at Zhang Shou, who smiled gently and generously, making people feel very trustworthy at first sight, and couldn't help but blurt out: "I don't read much, Xiaolangjun, don't coax me, you look younger than this dead fat man, how can you be his teacher?" ”

Who do you say is the dead fat man!

Lu Sanlang was so angry that he was smoking, but when Zhang Shou turned his head to look at it, he thought that he hadn't passed the level of setting up a small black house privately, so he could only quickly explain with a smile on his face: "Uncle is Carpenter Sun, right?" Dr. Zhang is indeed my teacher, don't look at his young age, he is the emperor's hand-picked Dr. Guozi. There are a lot of sons who are older than me, and they are all his students! ”

The strong man who was called Sun Carpenter was suspicious, but when he saw Zhang Shou reaching out again to support himself, the hand had round joints, long five fingers, and a fair complexion, which was extremely good-looking at first glance, and he looked at his calloused hand, which still had suspicious black and protruding knuckles between his fingers, and he was a little embarrassed, until Zhang Shou took the initiative to hold his hand and pulled him up.

"Ahem, I was in a hurry just now because I was delayed for a few days, so I was a little impulsive, Dr. Zhang, don't worry about it." Carpenter Sun straightened up, laughed a little embarrassedly, and then asked suspiciously, "What is Dr. Zhang looking for me for?" By the way, it's not just me, but also Lao Zhang, who struck iron, Li Er, who built a house, and Zhao Da, who repaired ships. ”

Zhang Shou glanced at Lu Sanlang again, and this time he was finally convinced that he had indeed invited more than one craftsman. And Lu Sanlang, in order to try his best to dilute the influence of the little black house, hurriedly said flatteringly: "Little sir, compared to those masters in the Ordnance Bureau, they are the best ones that can be found outside......"

However, before he finished speaking, Carpenter Sun suddenly stopped: "What Arsenal Bureau, the ironsmith in the Armaments Bureau may be stronger than Lao Zhang, but there is definitely no carpenter in the Armaments Bureau better than me!" I don't care about rough wood, but if it has anything to do with carpentry, I have never lost to others, and I don't want the best carpenters in the Ordnance Bureau, they just want craftsmen who are willing to work hard! ”

Seeing that Carpenter Sun was unwilling to admit defeat and shouted loudly, Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh, and then hurriedly reassured: "Uncle Sun, don't have a relationship with Lu Sanlang, how does he know what the craftsman spirit is!" Dedication, leanness, focus, innovation, this spirit has been passed down from generation to generation, which is why you are the unique person you have today, isn't it? ”

Zhang Shou, who is very good at speaking, casually slapped Lu Sanlang, and saw that Carpenter Sun was praised by himself, so he said sincerely: "It's also to blame me for not making it clear to Lu Sanlang before." I used to grow up in the countryside and didn't know much about many things, so I wanted to find a few master craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship and a wide range of visions, and ask about the achievements of various industries. ”

After being put on several high hats in a row, Carpenter Sun was naturally extremely proud, and he only felt that the top-notch Xiao Langjun in front of him was not only Fengyi, but also had a good personality, listening to this, no wonder the dead fat man who sent someone to invite them but didn't even show his face would call someone teacher! used to be under the same roof with those pretentious scholars every day, and he was almost irritable to death!

At that moment, Carpenter Sun suddenly turned around and ran to the house where he came out, and shouted at the door: "Lao Zhang, Li Er, Zhao Da, come out quickly, people are looking for us to inquire about things, don't be angry inside!" ”

Without waiting for a voice to come from inside, Zhang Shou also walked quickly to the door of the house: "Everyone, if you were negligent before, I will apologize to you here on behalf of Lu Sanlang." After all, I apologize for the incident, so please forgive me. ”

As Carpenter Sun dragged a thin man with hair like a chicken nest out of the house, two people finally followed him out, but one of them squinted his eyes and asked before Carpenter Sun: "This Dr. Zhang, since you are a doctor of Guozijian, you must have read a lot of books, what do you need to ask a few of our craftsmen?" ”

"It is better to believe in books than to have no books, after all, I am different from those other doctors, I do not teach scriptures, but scriptures. And how to apply the arithmetic scriptures is a big problem in the first place. That's why I wanted to meet the best master craftsmen, to find out what the best ships are like, how the best houses are constructed, what precision the sharpest weapons can achieve, and how many ...... the most delicate spinning wheels and looms can produce per day."

Zhang Shou asked a lot of questions in one breath, and when he saw that the four craftsmen finally lost their initial doubts, he smiled and arched his hand and said, "I really ask for advice, can I go to the house with you and talk slowly?" ”

A serious court official spoke to himself so politely, and asked for advice again and again, and the four craftsmen looked at me, and finally decided to let go of the previous annoyance. After all, although Lu Sanlang said that he sent someone to invite them over, he didn't show up and detained them for several days, but he was full of wine and food, but the treatment was not bad, and now that he understands the purpose of others, there is nothing to be angry about.

And Lu Sanlang, who was outside, saw that Ah Liu, the evil star, also followed Zhang Shou into the house, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief, looked around, and saw that the middle-aged gatehouse who was in trouble at the beginning was poking his head into that head, he went over and kicked someone, and drove people back to watch the door, and then beckoned to a few servants who had just heard the news but did not dare to step forward.

When everyone gathered around, he asked in a low voice, "What about those scholars?" ”

"Young master, those guys don't cry when they don't see the coffin, last night I finally finished writing the book to be printed this month, I have a full stomach with good wine and food, I am sleeping at this time, I don't think it will wake up even if it is thunder, let alone this movement!"

If it was a weekday, Lu Sanlang would definitely be happy to hear that this month's task could finally be completed, but at this time, he thought about Zhang Shou's reaction just now, but he only felt a headache. After all, even if his intentions are good and the remuneration is sufficient, God knows if Zhang Shou will think that his methods are violent! But after thinking about it, he was still unwilling to let people go like this.

These guys in it are obviously quite talented, but they are stumbling in the field, and the one with the best grades has also taken the exam, and some people have not even taken the county exam. As a result, he pointed out a way to make money, but these fools either thought about squandering or thinking about going back to the exam...... If you can pass the exam, will you be forty years old or an old child?

He hesitated for a moment, and finally ordered a few doglegs angrily: "Cheer me up, be smart, and look back at me to act." By the way, hurry up and prepare a table of banquets, a little more sumptuous, Mr. Xiao is very tricky! ”

Seeing that Lu Sanlang put down these words, he ran into the room with a smoke, and several servants couldn't help but look at each other. They are all die-hard loyalists who were ambushed by Lu Sanlang's various means, and now they all feel a sense of disillusionment when they see that this Shangshu Gongzi, who is not very good-looking, but actually very scheming, is really like a well-behaved and obedient good student.

Zhang Shou didn't know that Lu Sanlang was already urgently dealing with the problem of the exposure of the small black house, and he didn't react much to people coming in. He started with Carpenter Sun, and inquired about the development of various technologies one by one, and soon understood a general idea.

Nowadays, Jiangnan is also like the Ming Dynasty in history, the silk weaving and cotton spinning industry is extremely developed, attracting many agricultural people to the industry, Suzhou and Hangzhou, which were once the land of fish and rice, now have to rely on the import of grain from the outside world, and the vacant land is planted with cotton. And several drawings of looms and spinning wheels drawn by Carpenter Sun were also collected by him.

Nowadays, in the design of the houses of the rich and noble, they generally have bathrooms, boilers, hot and cold water pipes, and can take showers. It is even said that there are things in the Imperial Palace that are ready to be unscrewed, similar to the rudiments of running water, but they are mainly used for fire prevention, so other rich mansions have similar things, but the principle is slightly different.

Today's sea vessels vary in size and size, the largest is four tiers with nine masts and twelve sails, and each time the fleet is often a dozen ships traveling in a group. On the other hand, the size of private ships is limited, and shipyards are regularly inspected by the government. At sea, there are people who specialize in calculating routes using star charts, compasses, and all kinds of astrology, and besides, the glass has not been burned, but there are telescopes with crystal-polished lenses.

As for the weapons, all kinds of cold weapons such as knives, guns and swords are not mentioned for the time being, the range of the artillery guns is far better than the Ming Dynasty he knows, because many of them are flowering shells, which greatly makes up for the lack of accuracy, which does not involve secrets, so Zhang Blacksmith said it casually. But precision and batch processing of various small parts is still a big problem.

Zhang Shou asked and listened at the same time, until he heard several cooing sounds in a row, then he looked sideways, and only saw Lu Sanlang looking at himself with a bitter face. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately greeted with a smile: "I didn't notice that it was so late." Let's talk while eating, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that today's world is like this. ”

For Zhang Shou, who has an excellent attitude and good demeanor, not to mention Carpenter Sun, the other three also have a good impression, and naturally agreed at the moment. When they were full of wine and food, when Zhang Shou said that he would come to the door again to ask for advice if he had something in the future, and maybe he would ask for help to make something, they also agreed. Especially when they heard that Zhang Shou asked Lu Sanlang to send them away with a gift, they were even happier.

And Lu Sanlang personally delivered it to the door this time, and let the carriage when he came send people home one by one, but when he came to the door of the car, he lowered his voice and said: "Everyone, it's not right for me to keep you without explaining the reason before, but about those scholars, please keep your mouth shut." You know, useless scholars are scholars, and without me, many of them will starve to death! ”

Before the others could speak, Carpenter Sun suddenly said with a big grin: "We are too lazy to take care of those poor and sour things, and many people are also self-inflicted. Instead of worrying about us talking nonsense in the future, you should think about how to explain it to your teacher. Your teacher is a gentle and elegant gentleman! ”
