Chapter 137: Heavenly Creations (1)
After Zhu Youxiao finished the question of faith, he finally let go of a stone in his heart, and thought about the scene of Chinese civilization prevailing in the world in the future, and he was learning square characters everywhere, as long as any Chinese person could walk sideways in the world, and he could be a Chinese teacher anywhere, just like English in later generations, it had become an industry in many countries, and he couldn't help but snicker in his heart.
After thinking about the issue of faith, Zhu Youxiao thought about the issue of oil again. In modern society, oil is a common thing, there are no traces of petroleum products everywhere in life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, there will be its shadow everywhere, China's oil imports are the largest country in the world, but it is not the country with the most oil reserves.
Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation" is more than ten years later, according to the original history. He should be researching and preparing to write this book right now, but now that the trajectory of his life has changed a lot with his arrival, he will definitely not have time to write this book now. However, Song Yingxing's current environment is much better than in history, Zhu Youxiao plans to let him come forward to write this book, and requires him and his students to practice one by one, not just narrating the process or simply writing a book, to edit these things into detailed teaching materials after practice, vigorously promote them to the people, and promote the Ming Dynasty to march into an industrialized society as soon as possible, and through continuous practical operation, form a complete set of theoretical systems, and continuous spiral progress.
When Zhu Youxiao came to Song Yingxing to talk about these issues, he didn't expect Song Yingxing to start doing these things a long time ago, which surprised Zhu Youxiao, could it be that geniuses are really so awesome.
Song Yingxing said: "Since His Majesty established the technical school, Mr. Xu Guangqi has talked to me about these issues. Mr. Xu Guangqi said that many of the production technologies in ancient China were very clever, but many production technologies have been lost, in addition to the bad habit of "teaching apprentices, starving masters", there are also these craftsmen with a low level of education, that is, too little literacy, many of them are passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation, but once they meet a generation with relatively low talent, or poor comprehension ability, the technology will be reduced, and even lost. There are also those who are afraid that their skills will be known by outsiders, so they deliberately write a lot of knowledge wrongly, so that the people behind them take a lot of detours, which are also bad habits.
"In terms of technology, who also wants to keep their secrets, so that technology has a sense of mystery, perhaps for their children and grandchildren to have a bite to eat, no one is willing to teach their secrets to others, but I don't know that once the descendants are not virtuous, these things still can't save future generations, it is better to record these things in detail, teach more people, promote greater progress in society, and also make their children and grandchildren feel pressure, they will better study their own technology, always ahead of others, so that they can better eat a full meal.
"Mr. Xu Guangqi said, we are now officials of the imperial court, and we have the obligation to make the lives of the common people better, and the purpose of His Majesty's establishment of the Daming Technical School is to let more people master the most common survival skills, so when teaching students, we must not be specious, we will try our best to do it in many books, in the process of practice, we will let students like His Majesty taught, every step and test data have a detailed record. Hey, hey, this is what this guy Lei Mingtian taught everyone, and he said that His Majesty strictly required it. ”
Oh, Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Song Yingxing to inadvertently slap a sycophant and give this credit to himself. Zhu Youxiao did ask Lei Mingtian and other people who did experiments to record the process and results of each time in detail, and he didn't expect that this thing really formed a habit, which was a good habit, which saved later learners a lot of unnecessary repetitive operation processes, and also allowed them to better understand a lot of difficult and obscure data.
Although Zhu Youxiao read Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creations" in later generations, he still couldn't help but want to ask: "Old Song, how many things have you sorted out now?" How did you come up with these textbooks? Can you show me? ”
Song Yingxing smiled happily: "Your Majesty, we have sorted out almost all the industries related to the production that can be known, and the whole book is roughly divided into "Nailiang" (grain), "Naifu" (textile), "Zhangshi" (dyeing), "Pure Essence" (grain processing), "Salty" (salt), "Sweet Appetite" (sugar), "Paste" (edible oil), "Taoyun" (ceramics), "Smelting and Casting", "Boat and Car", "Hammer Forging", "Sowing Stone" (coal and stone firing), and "Finishing" There are 18 volumes (papermaking), "Hardware", "Jiabing" (weapons), "Danqing" (mineral pigment), "Qu Tiler" (wine koji) and "Zhuyu". It includes a variety of technologies that have been passed down from generation to generation in many of today's process departments, with extensive illustrations indicating process criticality, detailing various actual data in production, and accurate to the smallest unit according to the current unit of measurement.
Secondly, in the process of teaching, we found that the students' ability to understand different things is very different, so Mr. Xu put forward the suggestion of teaching by aptitude, in addition to the most basic literacy and arithmetic courses must allow all people to lay the necessary foundation, other courses can be more hobby to learn, as long as he is interested, he can also go to any teacher's course. For example, for students who are interested in learning "Nailiang", if he finds that he is interested in learning "Paste", then he can study again, so that he not only learns to plant various crops, but also learns the deep processing technology after planting these things, while learning theoretical courses, he also has to go to the farmland of Huangzhuang to practice, to see the difference between actual operation and theory, and also to go to the corresponding workshop opened by the school to participate in the necessary tools for processing products, and be familiar with the operation process of each process in detail. If you keep these things in your mind, you will be able to become an expert in the industry after graduation.
"We also require students to make different examinations according to their different abilities, students with ordinary qualifications, as long as they can be familiar with the professional knowledge he has learned, they can graduate, and students with higher talent are required to be not only familiar with the knowledge he has learned, but also to have his own understanding in the process of learning and operating, and even must have his own opinions on the transformation of tools, if he can put forward better suggestions for the production of tools and procedures, different rewards can be given. Suppose he makes something more advanced, something that no one else has, and the school will encourage him to open a factory, and if he is not willing to open a factory, he can also sell his invention to the school or other businessmen for a lot of money, so as to stimulate the student's passion for learning.
"The most interesting thing is that a student who studied "Boat and Car" actually made a wooden two-wheeled car, although it needs a frame to put it down, but through his own continuous efforts, he can ride and walk alone like a donkey, if he has the strength, he can walk much faster than ordinary people, but it is a little too heavy, most people don't value this thing, so his patent has not been sold until now."
"What, someone can make this." Zhu Youxiao was taken aback, isn't this the most primitive bicycle? Zhu Youxiao said: "Old Song, have you carefully studied this two-wheeled car, you can see if you can conduct a more in-depth study, to see if there is any practical use, for example, can you use other stronger materials to make it lighter, or put some effort on the wheel, in short, you can turn it into a tool that can be used, maybe it can really become a new wooden donkey!" ”
Song Yingxing didn't expect Zhu Youxiao to suddenly be interested in this wooden car, and he was afraid that the emperor would turn back into a carpenter emperor who was interested in carpenter making and was not doing his job, so he hurriedly interrupted Zhu Youxiao's question, and then talked about other topics, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about this wooden donkey, there are other things that you are more interested in." Haven't you always wanted to get more silver, we can make faster and more by constantly improving the smelting method, we call this smelting method 'soot blowing', which is very simple and practical, and the production of weapons, we are developing more simple and practical rifles, and ......"
"Stop, stop." Zhu Youxiao interrupted Song Yingxing's intention to change the topic, "I'm thinking about how to put that wooden donkey into practical use now." Old Song, don't be afraid that I am becoming a carpenter emperor, if I don't do my job, it doesn't matter, I won't do carpenter's work anymore, I just want that wooden donkey to run and become a common thing in the family. ”
