Chapter 49: Wang Zheng's Praise
In the Shangshu Hall of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zheng took the drawings with both hands, carefully unfolded them and put them on the coffee table, and in the tea bowl next to the drawings, the hot tea was still emitting white smoke.
Wang Zheng sat upright on the mat, and finally saw the content of the drawing that had made him curious just now.
Unlike Yan Shichen, Wang Zheng first noticed that the painting method of the scroll, which was made by Jing Zetian with burned charcoal, then trimmed and then sketched the structure of the quyuan plow, attracted Wang Zheng, who was obsessed with technology.
The method of drawing has not yet appeared in this era. And Jing Zetian's drawings are also mixed with stick figures, so that the structure of the Quyuan plough appears concisely and clearly on the picture scroll.
"Teacher, look at how this drawing is drawn." Wang Zheng seriously pointed to the Qu Yuan plough on Jing Zetian's picture scroll and said.
"Huh? You don't say I haven't found out yet. After Wang Zheng's prompting, Yan Shichen also discovered the difference in Jing Zetian's painting method.
"I feel that this kind of painting method is different from the architectural drawings that we usually draw in the Ministry of Engineering, and now I don't know whether this painting method is suitable for architecture, but looking at the curved plough on the picture scroll, I can be sure that this painting method is still much stronger than our current painting method for the structure of some parts." Wang Zheng said contemplatively.
The craftsmen of this era would basically simply paint, roughly draw what they wanted to do, and then make it, especially in architecture. Wang Zheng is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and his painting level is also very good, and the most things that the Ministry of Works usually does is to build and build, so he, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is also very good at drawing architectural drawings.
"Just now, I was discussing this Quyuan plough with the Six Princes, and I didn't notice this, you are right, this painting method is indeed very useful in some things, if we learn it in the Ministry of Industry, it will also be a great help to the craftsmen of our Ministry of Industry." Yan Shichen said in agreement, regretting that he didn't find this detail at that time.
"Well, what the teacher said is, I don't know which master of painting and calligraphy taught His Highness this painting method, it seems that I still have a lot of talented people in Dahua." Wang Zheng said with emotion that he had always thought that his ability in craftsmanship was the top existence in Dahua. But the appearance of Jing Zetian let him know that there is also a genius in craftsmanship.
This time, the drawings brought by Jing Zetian opened his eyes again, thinking that this drawing was taught to Jing Zetian by a highly capable calligraphy and painting master, and he couldn't imagine that this was Jing Zetian's originality, because a young man has talent in craftsmanship, and he is also so good at painting, it does not exist in his cognition, after all, Jing Zetian is twelve years old.
"Hehe, Wang Zheng, you have to learn a lot in the future, but unfortunately I didn't notice this this time, otherwise I must ask His Royal Highness which calligraphy and painting master is in charge of this drawing, and I can also let him teach us the Ministry of Engineering." Yan Shichen said excitedly that he was also very interested in this painting method.
"Well, it's okay, Your Highness has to contact us again anyway, just ask when the time comes, don't rush at this meeting." Wang Zheng changed his mentality and said. If he knew that this painting was painted by Jing Zetian himself, it was estimated that he would definitely suffer a big blow.
The two admired Jing Zetian's painting method for a long time, and Wang Zheng turned his gaze to the drawings. His ability in fortifications is much stronger than Yan Shichen, so he can still understand the improved Quyuan plow, after all, the structural changes of the Quyuan plow are not too far away from this era.
"Your Highness is really a genius, teacher, the structure of this curved plough is actually improved on the basis of our original straight plow, in fact, it is not difficult, but I didn't even think of it." Wang Zheng, who has a somewhat dark complexion, may also have a hint of ruddy on his face at this moment because of excitement.
"Well, this highness has already told the old man in detail, since you can understand it, I won't repeat it too much, this task will be handed over to you, you have no problem." Yan Shichen said to Wang Zheng seriously.
"Rest assured, the teacher will live up to your expectations. Hi, the appearance of the Six Princes made me deeply aware that the things we often see, as long as we think about it, there are many things that can be improved, and the effect of these things after improvement will be amazing. "Wang Zheng has his own ideas, and Jing Zetian has brought him a lot of gains.
"Well, through today's conversation with the Six Princes, I found that His Royal Highness is also relatively easy to get along with, and you can also communicate with him more in the future, and let the Six Princes bring more surprises to our Ministry of Industry." Yan Shichen instructed Wang Zheng, he felt that Jing Zetian had a very good appetite for their Ministry of Industry.
"Hehe, this is natural, I also want to ask the six princes if there is anything new to do, so I can study modestly, by the way, a few days ago, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu also praised the six princes in front of me, and the six princes will be a virtuous king in the future." Wang Zheng said with a smile that he is in a good mood now, and as a craftsman technology fanatic, he has found his new direction of learning.
After Jing Zetian left the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he didn't know that the two bigwigs of the Ministry of Industry were chatting excitedly about him.
Jing Zetian came out of the Ministry of Industry, and it was already noon at this moment, and he and Xiao Dengzi rode to Fuguifang, which was next to Taikang Fang. Fuguifang is also one of the commercial markets, but the people who come and go here are mainly high-ranking officials, and the consumption level is also very high, and the various restaurants, brothels, casinos and other entertainment venues in it are controlled by various powerful forces.
At this moment, Jing Zetian, who was dressed in white, was walking on the street on horseback, and all he met were people in gorgeous clothes, some of whom rode horses, and they were also very gorgeously decorated.
There are also many sedan chairs that weave through the streets. Unlike Fu Xiang Fang, it is easy to feel.
Since Dahua's restraint on women was not very serious, Jing Zetian, who was riding on a horse, saw many ancient women dressed brightly on the street. These women are all wearing heavy makeup, accompanied by maids or servants, and holding only a round fan in both hands. Jing Zetian was inspired, and suddenly thought that if he held a folding fan in his hand, he would be very handsome, but he also thought of his age and height, if he took a folding fan at this time, he felt a little different, and the folding fan had not come out yet. Forget it, when I grow up, I will make a folding fan out, and then dress up the bag, it will definitely lead the fashion trend of this era, Jing Zetian thought to himself.
With Jing Zetian riding a horse and running away, he and Xiao Dengzi reached their goal, the Fugui Restaurant in Fuguifang.
