Section 46 Glass and Thirty-six Schemes
Suddenly thinking that his sister was about to get married, Zhu Yunwen patted his head and asked Liu Zhen to come over: "You send someone to the Ministry of Industry Camp to call the Institute to come over, and by the way, bring a few craftsmen who are good at making glass, and then let them bring a few pieces of good glass over, it will be useful." ”
"Okay."
The summer in Jingshi was still a little hot, and Zhu Yunwen sat in the shade of the tree and relaxed a little. After a while, Liu Zhen asked people to put a table in the courtyard, it turned out that it was lunch time, Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly, he needs someone to take care of him now, eating is a troublesome matter, and Liu Zhen has to feed him, alas, it's really embarrassing, but there is no way. While eating, three people came in outside, the leader was dressed from the government of the sixth grade, but between the gestures, there was a craftsman's breath, about thirty years old, the last two were mostly old, estimated to be at least fifty years old, with a yellow complexion, and felt that he often worked in a smoky environment.
Yunwen asked Liu Zhen to stop, and the three of them knelt down in front of Zhu Yunwen and saluted the emperor's grandson.
"See Your Highness, Your Highness
"The craftsmen of the camp are in the water to see His Highness, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Lu Fuyu, the craftsman of the camp, see His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Zhu Yunwen said: "Three flat." ”
Wang Quan stood up in response, but the two craftsmen didn't dare to stand up, Zhu Yunwen made a look, and Liu Zhen went over to help the two up. Then he took three seats for three to sit down, and the two craftsmen sat down with great gratitude.
"Have you eaten?"
"Not yet." The three of them looked at each other before speaking.
"Oh, Liu Zhen, bring some food for the three of them, and we'll talk about it when we're full."
"The little ones don't dare." The three of them resigned one after another.
"Okay, Your Highness will let you eat, you will eat, and there will be business after eating." Liu Zhen said impatiently. His Highness didn't rest well last night, he was still injured, and he still had to do so many things, and these people were still chattering, and they couldn't help but get angry.
Zhu Yunwen was almost finished eating, so he stopped, and when the other three saw it, they quickly put down their chopsticks and said that they were full. Zhu Yunwen couldn't help it, so he said: "Did you bring the glass that you brought with you?" ”
Wang Quan brought a wooden box with him, put it on the table, opened the wooden box, put the contents on the table, and said, "Your Highness, this is the best glass that Your Highness wants." ”
Zhu Yunwen took a closer look, opened his mouth and said, "This is Liuli?" ”
On the table were three small white and blue-colored statues of horses, unicorns and lions, which shimmered in the sunlight, but were opaque and felt not much stronger than those made of porcelain.
Wang Quan was surprised and said: "Your Highness, these are the three best pieces of glass made in the camp this year, and they have not yet been sent to the palace. As for the new science and technology jinshi, he can only get jade glaze. ”
There seems to be one lonely, and the word "boil" is engraved in the middle. ”
"Yes, Your Highness, the prince and the prince of the Ming Dynasty all have such a piece of jade pendant, because it is too difficult to make, so there are not many of them, and Your Highness's piece is also made by our camp."
Ah, Zhu Yunwen remembered that his piece seemed to have been given to the Bai family brothers and sisters, and the damn Wang Du didn't remind himself, he felt nothing, he didn't expect it to be so precious. Where did he think that Wang Du didn't understand this, and when he saw Bai Fangrui, he thought that His Royal Highness had other ideas, so he dared to talk more.
"Wang Suozheng, I remember what the Buddhist scriptures say, the glass is crystal clear, dazzling, and one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, is this the case?"
Wang Quan clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the ancient glass is indeed like this, but after many wars in China, it has been lost, and I can only make this kind of glass at present." ”
"Is Ruri hard to do?"
Wang Quan glanced at Yu Deshui and said, "Old Yu, you can answer His Highness's question." ”
Yu Deshui peeked at Zhu Yunwen and said: "Your Highness, Xiao Lao'er's craftsmanship is a family heirloom, and each piece of glass needs more than 30 processes to complete, not to mention Xiao Lao'er, even if it is a father and an ancestor, with their exquisite skills, it is impossible to guarantee that it can be made every time, it takes some luck, and as long as there is a little problem in these processes, the glass will be scrapped and have to be redone." ”
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said: "Lone's sister Jiangdu County is mainly recruiting guests, Lone wants two glass cups, can they be made in two days?" ”
Wang Quan's face immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, turned his head to look at Yu Deshui and Lu Fuyu, the two of them glanced at each other, and quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, the small one can't be done, two days is too short." ”
Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said, "Do you know how to make glass?" ”
"Glass? How? ”
"Lone has seen it in an ancient book, but now I can't find it, it seems that by calcining silica, lime and alkali together, you can get a transparent liquid, and then blow it into a round ball with a blowpipe, and then put it in a mold and continue to blow, you can make a transparent cup."
The three of them looked at each other: "Your Highness, what book are you reading?" ”
Kindness? Still don't believe in yourself? Zhu Yunwen was a little angry: "You don't believe Lone, do you think Lone is lying to you?" ”
The three of them were so frightened that they quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, the minister/little one doesn't dare." ”
"Okay, you guys get up, according to Lone's words, you hurry back to burn the stove, first boil out the transparent liquid, and then blow it and see."
"Command, but what is silica?"
"Silica, the simplest is sand, white sand, you can also grind quartz stone, you can also do it."
"Oh, okay, let's go back and make it."
"Well, you guys hurry up and do it, there's not much time." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and let them go.
Wang Quan, Yu Deshui and Lu Fuyu muttered to each other on the road.
"In which book did Your Highness read it? How I've never heard of it. ”
"You can't lie to us."
"Your Highness is still lying to us? What is there in you that is worthy of your Highness's deception? ”
"yes, maybe it works."
"It looks very simple, go back and try it quickly."
Suddenly, Wang Quan stopped the two people: "After the official goes back, he will make a special furnace for the two of you to burn this glass." But you have to remember that you can't tell anyone the recipe, otherwise watch your head. ”
The two of them also woke up, this is His Royal Highness's method, it is good to be able to tell himself, if it spreads from himself, it will be terrible.
After Wang Quan went back, he stopped all the work that could be stopped, concentrated all the glaze craftsmen and began to fire glass, and issued a gag order not to pass it on. For a while, the camp was steaming hot, and everyone was crazy busy.
Due to the injury, Zhu Yunwen didn't meditate today, and he was also relatively tired, so he slept for a while, maybe he was too tired, and he slept comfortably. When he woke up, Wang Du had already arrived for a long time, and the students in the staff room had also arrived, all sitting in the courtyard and talking in a low voice.
Zhu Yunwen asked a little help to freshen up, and sat down in the courtyard: "Zizhong, I've worked hard for you, let you run so far, let's live in the city during this time, if there is no place, let Liu Zhen arrange it for you, and the office will be temporarily in Zhan Shifu." ”
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this, Zizhong doesn't know what His Highness is going to do."
"Zizhong, this is the case, I went to martial arts alone and found that the lower-level officers were not literate, which seriously affected the improvement of their quality. Lone has already asked people to start compiling Hanyu Pinyin, presided over by Liu Sanwu and Fang Xiaoru. However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and he plans to compile an introductory textbook for martial arts. Can you help Gu with this? ”
"Your Highness, Daming has strict regulations on the training, formation, camping and combat of grassroots officers, what are we going to do?"
"I want to do three things: the first is to analyze the important ancient and modern war cases in detail, and compile a book of "Analysis of Ancient and Modern War Cases", which should be easy to understand and appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar; Second, Lone wants to compile a book of strategies, the book is called "Thirty-six Strategies", and the third Lone heard that there is a person named Luo Guanzhong, who wrote a book called "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in which the battlefield description is very good, have you heard of this book? ”
"Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Wang Duzhen hadn't heard of it, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the students.
After a while, a chubby student stood up and said, "Your Highness, lowly Shao Yun, I have seen this book, but this book is only the first half, and I haven't read the whole book." ”
"Okay, Shao Yun, since you've heard of it, then you should be responsible for finding a copy, let's take a look, and see if it can be used to improve the command level of the officer. In terms of manpower, Liu Zhen is in charge, and Zizhong also pays proper attention to it. ”
The people took the command.
Then Zhu Yunwen didn't care, and closed his eyes on the chair to recuperate. Wang Du was doing the specific division of labor, he took two people, Tan Yuan and Zhang Fu, to follow Zhu Yunwen to study the "Thirty-six Strategies", Shao Yun took Xie Miao (Shaanxi Dusi) to find "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the others were led by Bai to sort out the ancient and modern war examples. Everyone was ordered to go their separate ways.
Wang Du stood in front of Zhu Yunwen, looked at Zhu Yunwen who was pretending to sleep, and couldn't help but sigh at the strength of this young man, who was on the line of life and death last night, and was busy today.
Zhu Yunwen opened his eyes and looked at Wang Du, and said: "Zizhong, Wangzhi, Wenbi, you sit down, let me talk about the idea of the thirty-six strategies, the thirty-six strategies are actually ancient sayings, but which ones are specific, there is no ancient book, I want to enrich it, it is divided into victory strategy, enemy battle strategy, attack strategy, melee strategy, and defeat strategy." ”
"The details are as follows: There are six strategies for winning the war, which are to hide from the sky and cross the sea, encircle Wei to save Zhao, borrow a knife to kill, wait for work at ease, take advantage of the fire to rob and attack the west, and the meaning of hiding the sky and crossing the sea is ......"
Zhu Shoudao, as a professional soldier, has studied thirty-six strategies to protect his family and country, and there is no difficulty in talking at this time, Wang Du, Tan Yuan and Zhang Fu are busy recording, and from time to time they ask questions, Zhu Yunwen will stop and explain to them, and the cycle will start over and over again.
A few people talked very speculatively, and before they knew it, it was already sunset, Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally finished speaking, after an afternoon of mental work, I felt so tired, looking at Wang Du, Tan Yuan, and Zhang Fu, they were also exhausted, but their eyes were bright.
Zhu Yunwen stopped and said, "Zizhong, did Gu say it clearly?" ”
"Your Highness, what you said is very clear, but the minister has only recorded it, and it still needs to be carefully studied, analyzed, and used to form sentences, not too vernacular."
"Hehe, okay, it's up to you next, Lone has been recuperating in Duanben Palace recently, you can come and ask Lone if you have any questions. By the way, there is one thing, this book should not be signed with the name of the orphan, just write the name of the three of you. ”
"Why, Your Highness?"
"Lone doesn't need this reputation, you need it, and if Lone signs and makes mistakes, no one may dare to change it, and it is not conducive to the spread of this book, Lone hopes that this book will be of some help to the army of the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Du looked at Tan Yuan and Zhang Fu, and the three of them knelt down at the same time: "Your Highness is noble, the minister will compile this book perfectly, and live up to His Highness's trust." ”
"It's nothing, you get up, it's you who work hard, and Lone just moves his mouth."
In the evening, Zhu Yunwen left the three of them to eat together before letting them go back.
The three of them walked on the road, not knowing what to say, after a long time, Tan Yuan said: "Your Highness is really a genius, although these thirty-six strategies are common in history books, but it takes a lot of effort to sort them out, and they are so well organized, Your Highness really spent a lot of effort." ”
"Yes, more importantly, His Highness doesn't sign, let the three of us sign, for the sake of martial arts, His Highness has spent a lot of effort." Wang Du said.
"Lord Wang, what kind of person do you say Your Highness is? It seems weak, but how do you understand so much military content? Creation of martial arts, phalanx training, and thirty-six strategies, etc. Zhang Fu asked.
"Your Royal Highness, this official aunt said in vain, His Royal Highness is a genius, benevolent and filial piety, patient, persevering, not afraid of life and death, facing difficulties, and has shown the appearance of a benevolent monarch, which is really the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
"Oh, got it, thank you, Lord Wang." Zhang Fudao.
