Chapter 44: The Talent of the World (2nd Update)
Except that the wheels are made of wood and have no tires, after walking around the yard with the handrails, on the whole, Zhang You is still very satisfied.
"How?" Li Shi had already walked out of the house, looked at Zhang You with a smile and asked, Li Quanfu rubbed his calloused hands, and also looked at him directly, like a child who has done good deeds and is waiting for praise.
Zhang You got out of the car and said: "Very good, grandpa's craftsmanship is absolutely not said, it is better than I imagined, just the same ......"
"Which one?"
"It's a bit bumpy, but it would be nice to be able to press a few springs."
"What is a spring?" Li Quanfu asked suspiciously.
Zhang You once saw a bow on Zhang You's house, not only the bowstring was made of iron wire, but the bow was also lined with steel sheets, and he thought that the spring had appeared, so he said it with a smooth mouth, and now when he heard Li Quanfu ask, he suddenly realized that he was taking it for granted.
Springs are a good thing, and according to today's metallurgical processes, it shouldn't be difficult to make, right?
He was a little excited, and after explaining, he said nonsense: "I also forgot which book I saw it from, grandfather, don't underestimate this thing, God, according to the book, once it is installed on the carriage, no matter how fast it runs, it will not be bumpy." ”
"So powerful, huh? The young master is waiting, I'll go to the blacksmith Wu in the town to make that bullet for you, what is the bullet? ”
"Spring, remember to tell him, make four, the thickness of the shovel handle, half a foot long, made of steel, it must be elastic, it is best to make it of average size, money is not a problem."
"Okay, I made a note of it." Qian Wugua agreed, and went out of the backyard like a gust of wind. Zhang You likes him for this, he has eyesight, and he is very good at work.
Business is good, Zhang You did not stay long, after telling Li Quanfu how to install the spring, he simply sat in a wheelchair, Li saw that he was struggling to move forward, and was busy pushing him behind, the two chatted while walking, and just arrived in the front yard, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Guo Zaoqing led the horse into the gate.
"This wheelchair is chic, you can walk without being pushed, it's your kid's idea, right? Not bad. After handing the reins to Li and thanking him, Guo Zaoqing circled around Zhang You and praised him.
Zhang You smiled: "It's still my grandfather's craftsmanship, so I'll come up with an idea." ”
"Let's not say it, 'civil officials move their mouths, military attaches run and break their legs', I can see that you kid was born to be a commander...... I've been busy for more than half a month, and according to what you said, the lampbag has finally been sewn, don't you have a way to make it bulge, and now you can give the teacher an explanation, right? ”
"That's good? Too fast, right? Is it leaking? ”
"I don't dare to say that there is absolutely no air leakage, basically no leakage."
"It's enough to basically not leak anything, sir, come with the disciple, I asked my grandfather to build a few things, you are so smart, you can understand the student's thoughts at a glance." Zhang You turned around and walked to the backyard again, Li went to the east across the courtyard to tie the horse, Guo Zaoqing didn't think about it, took a few steps forward, and held the handrail of the wheelchair.
"Mr. cart student sits, and Mr. is sitting." Guo Zaoqing has a bold personality, Zhang You has already figured out his temper and joked.
Guo Zaoqing snorted and said: "You still know that you are embarrassed, you say that you worship me as a teacher, and you first made a bad idea to make a big Kong Ming lantern for your teacher, and opened a medical hall in a blink of an eye. ”
Zhang You smiled and didn't squeak.
Guo Zaoqing put away his smiling face and said: "You have excellent medical skills, and you have no objection to opening a medical hall as a teacher, but you have the talent of the world, if you only be a Langzhong, it will be a pity, and you should take the road of the imperial examination is the right way......
"Sir, is it serious? What kind of talent do students have? ”
Guo Zaoqing slowed down and said: "You don't need to be modest, I will make you a big Kong Ming lantern, if it is really successful, do you know how far-reaching the impact is?" There is also the phenomenon of the hot air opening the lid of the tea hanger, I did an experiment for the teacher in the past two days, and found someone to seal the lid, leaving only the mouth of the pot, plugged it tightly with a cork, and put it on the fire to burn, guess what? The tea hanger actually exploded, and the boiling water splashed everywhere, what a fucking force! And the suggestion you made about the 'boiled frog in warm water' you made last time about the test method, the last time the division went to Jizhou to buy tung oil, he happened to meet Liang Junmen, and he mentioned it to him, and he was also surprised! ”
To put it simply, the division of labor is quantitative, and the performance of officials is evaluated by the completion of tasks, and the fundamental purpose is to promote talented people, improve the efficiency of the government, and streamline the increasingly bloated institutions. The purpose is good, and under the iron fist, the effect is also obvious, but after all, it is too intense, and the evil results have also borne a lot. After Zhang Juzheng's death, after Shen Shixing became the first assistant, he completely stopped taking the examination of the law, which went down in history as a good governance.
As for Guo Zaoqing's theory of boiling frogs in warm water, it was a casual conversation between the master and apprentice, and when he inadvertently talked about the method of taking the test, Zhang You said it, which means that there are various methods of reform, and the most effective and safest way is to lure it with profit and implement it quietly.
The examination method is absolutely effective in eliminating the accumulated shortcomings of officialdom, but it is too fierce and touches the interests of many people, and the reason why no one opposes it is because Zhang Juzheng has won the trust of the emperor and is in charge of the power of the country alone. Zhang You was moved by it, so he commented casually. At that time, I didn't see anything unusual about Guo Zaoqing, and I didn't think he would discuss it with Liang Menglong, and because of this, he thought that Zhang You had a talent in the world, which made him a little ashamed.
"That's all student nonsense...... Forget it, even if the student really has the talent of the world, but just rush the student's foot, if you want to take the imperial examination, I'm afraid it will be difficult, right? Zhang You wants to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, so he is naturally willing to be an official, but it does not mean that he is interested in Bagu Wen, in order to prevent Guo Zaoqing from forcing him to study those boring Bagu strategies, he has to use his own feet as a shield.
This problem really can't be ignored, Guo Zaoqing sighed lightly, but in a blink of an eye, he cheered up again, and said: "Don't worry, Qi Shuai is good friends with Lord Yuanfu, and Yuanfu cherishes his life, no matter what, as a teacher, you have to persuade Qi Shuai to help you speak." ”
"I'm afraid of Lord Motofuke...... Forget it, anyway, the students are not even Xiucai now, and it's still a bit far to think about this, so let's take one step at a time. Zhang You almost said that Zhang Juzheng would die next year, but fortunately he received it quickly, and at the same time secretly thought that he had to see Zhang Juzheng as soon as possible...... It would be good if the hot air balloon was a success, this is an unprecedented initiative, when Lao Tzu flew around the sky in a hot air balloon, and then parachuted down, it would definitely cause a sensation, not to mention Qi Jiguang Zhang Juzheng, it was the head of the palace, I am afraid that I have to know the name of my Zhang You.
Guo Zaoqing sighed lightly, pushed Zhang You through the mezzanine, Huo Ran was cheerful in front of him, looked at the four-wheeled bicycle with a long wooden pole and asked, "What is this?" ”
