Chapter Eighty-Six: White Cloud Palace
When Zhao Zheng got up, he found that he was already lying on the bed, not far away Hu Yongqi and Ma Chenghe were still reading books in a huff, but their expressions were extremely focused, the summer sun came out early, the morning light entered the window, and the kerosene lamp was still on.

The two of them also seemed to notice the movement in the house, looked up and saw that Zhao Zheng had already gotten up, put down the book and got up to salute and said, "The national teacher is well!" ”
Zhao Zheng looked at the dark circles under the eyes of the two and smiled: "You guys also go down to rest, there are still classes in the afternoon, but you can't doze off." I was willful last night, and I didn't sleep all night, and I didn't solve anything for you. ”
Hu Yongqi hurriedly shook his head: "The grace of the national teacher to give books is no less than the merit of teaching, how can Gushan be so ignorant, I just hope that such all-night reading will happen often in the future." ”
Ma Chenghe agreed: "Enyuan is too! ”
At this time, a little Taoist priest named Qingyuan came in with a face wash, he and Qingchen worked shifts every day, and today it was time for him to serve Zhao Zheng closely.
"Qingyuan, what time is it?"
"Master, it's six o'clock." In ancient times, the day was divided into 100 quarters, each of which was close to 15 minutes, and this six quarters was the appearance of half past six in later generations.
Zhao Zheng hurriedly went to teach after washing at will, the teaching place is the largest building in the Baiyun Palace, which can accommodate a thousand people when it is designed, and the architectural form of the steps and steps is made according to the reinforced concrete of later generations, with its own sound amplification effect, but the most exaggerated is those glass doors and windows, everyone slightly counted the classroom is only afraid of no less than a hundred pieces of glass, the wealth of this Baiyun Taoist Temple has really reached the point of jaw-dropping, maybe the national teacher has really practiced alchemy, can turn clay into gold, dare to be so extravagant!
Now the auditorium has been crowded with more than 2,000 people, and there are still many people who have not squeezed in to listen to the lecture outside the door.
Although the papermaking and printing technology of this era are very mature, and the efficiency is enough for this era, Zhao Zheng wants to reduce the number of paper books and books by two times in the future, so that poor people can also afford to buy paper books.
Therefore, Zhao Zheng had to improve the current technology, such as the production and drying of the current pulp in papermaking, so that the cost was greatly reduced, only one-fifth of the current one, and the glass workshop was also producing this kind of paper, which was one of the income items of Baiyun Palace.
As for printing, there is now clay type printing, but the clay type is easy to damage, and the printing is not clear enough, so Zhao Zheng slightly improved the production of lead type, which is easier to preserve than clay type, and more importantly, it is finer than clay type, the printing is clearer, and the simple printing press is made.
All morning, Zhao Zheng was busy teaching the basic meaning of logic, through these more than ten days of transmission, the number of people who came to Baiyun Palace to sign up has exceeded 20,000, half of them are poor people, they want to come in to mingle, and most of them are illiterate, the younger ones went to Yuhang Academy, read and read, Rao is filtered by Yuhang Academy, and the Baiyun Palace is now qualified to listen to 10,000 pairs of people.
And those who are old and illiterate, Zhao Zheng did not distinguish between them, let them enter the classroom, the teaching of logic is not profound, Zhao Zheng just cultivates their basic thinking ability.
Besides, those people don't all eat white food, after the class in the morning, these apprentices will go to the Baiyun Palace to work in the afternoon, Zhao Zheng does not plan to build the Baiyun Palace into just a Taoist temple, but plans to turn him into the most cutting-edge science and technology laboratory in this era, so here you will see a tall chimney towering, which is the furnace used to build steelmaking.
Three acids and two alkalis, the most basic industrial raw materials will be experimented here and then the technology will be spread to the Song Kingdom, and the manpower required in the early stage is huge. And these apprentices are just right to solve this labor gap.
But the people who come to Baiyun Palace to seek Taoism are not necessarily poor families, many of them are merchants, craftsmen, Taoist priests, and even Langzhong and unambitious scholars, these people will not go to repair chimneys and carry stones. So Zhao Zheng deliberately built a Jicheng Yuan, and those who had spare money could put the money into the merit box, and then stay in the Jicheng Garden when they worked, so as to avoid half a day's labor. The money donated goes to the Salesian Bureau's operations.
Jicheng Courtyard covers an area of six acres, which will not make the people who stay inside feel bored, not only a large number of vernacular books, but also melons and fruits and refreshments to serve, and there are a large number of scientific experiments in addition to this time.
For example, the most precious microscope of the national teacher is placed in the most conspicuous place, which can attract many people to watch and use it every day, and for example, there is a bicycle that is half-built, and the materials and drawings are pasted on the wall, just wait for the people to forge it successfully. There are also many plant specimens, which Zhao Zheng classified according to the botany of later generations.
The walls of Jicheng Courtyard are covered with some whimsical ideas, depicting the life after the development of various science and technology, making people feel like falling into a dream, this Jicheng Courtyard, it took Zhao Zheng a lot of thought, after all, the development and promotion of science and technology need these rich idlers to complete, Zhao Zheng's purpose is to stimulate their interest in nature.
――
Zhao Zheng took the trouble to repeat five lessons in the morning and finished today's lesson. After talking about it in the early morning, his mouth was already dry, and Zhao Zheng went to the cafeteria to eat after class.
The clothes of the people encountered along the way are the same style, a total of black, white, blue and gray four colors, this is the uniform of the White Cloud Palace, no matter who enters the White Cloud Palace, they are required to change into the costumes of the White Cloud Palace, the design of these costumes is as simple as possible, neat, the cuffs are very small, easy to operate, and they are tied with wooden buttons, which is quite refreshing.
When many bold apprentices saw Zhao Zheng coming, they came over and bowed and shouted, "Sir." Zhao Zheng nodded in response, this is Zhao Zheng's rule, those apprentices in the Baiyun Palace only need to call him sir. Among apprentices, it is advisable to have a table name, and it is enough to call a common name without a common name.
The apprentice who was originally going to the canteen all the way saw Zhao Zheng going, so he quietly walked back and walked towards another canteen. The national teacher has to queue up like them in the cafeteria, is there anything more frightening than this? So try to go to other cafeterias to eat.
In order to cope with so many colleges, Baiyun Palace has worked overtime to build a canteen, but it still feels crowded, and this third canteen is waiting for these students to carry stones and cement to build it.
After Zhao Zheng entered the cafeteria, the people queuing up inside noticed this situation, many people used the excuse to urinate and give up their positions, and those who didn't have time to slip away were nervous, cursing those who slipped away quickly, the long queue had slipped half of it, and it couldn't be all slipped, so that the national teacher was embarrassed! Although the guy standing in front of Zhao Zheng wanted to give up his position to Zhao Zheng, he was afraid that Zhao Zheng would think of him as a smuggler, so he struggled for a while.
Zhao Zheng smiled when he saw this scene, and didn't care too much, along the way in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Zheng on the one hand continued to create an unfathomable image, and on the other hand, he tried to integrate into the public and be an authentic Song person.
Things have to go one step at a time, and at least everything is going in a good direction.
After Zhao Zheng finished eating, he found a free table and sat down, which was the best place in this canteen, although no one stipulated that this belonged to the national teacher, when everyone regarded it as a rule to follow, no one had ever eaten at that table.
While eating, Zhao Zheng sorted out his thoughts, thinking about how to train the group of craftsmen in the afternoon.
Just as he was thinking, a tall figure walked over and sat opposite Zhao Zheng.
"Old Gao? What are you doing here? Zhao Zheng was surprised to meet Gao Linmen.
Gao Linmen touched Zhao Zheng's forehead with his hand: "My ancestor, you have no problem, didn't you ask me to visit the famous mountains and rivers to help you do some research?" ”
Zhao Zheng suddenly came back to his senses about this, and after Li Quan's matter was calmed down, Zhao Zheng asked Gao Linmen to visit the famous mountains and rivers to investigate how much real talent there was in this door, Zhao Zheng originally intended to give him a vacation and investigate him casually, but he didn't expect Gao Linmen to make such a quick turn.
Gao Linmen handed a list to Zhao Zheng: "This gate is said to be big and big, and small is also small, I am familiar with Longhu Mountain and Soaoge Mountain, and I know how many Dao they have in them, as for what Shenxiao faction, Zhanying faction, Tianxin faction, I don't know very well." But as long as you go to Maoshan and ask those old immortals to inquire about it, everything will be clear. ”
Zhao Zheng picked up the list, there were a total of three hundred and seventy names on it, he frowned, not very satisfied with this number.
Gao Linmen saw Zhao Zheng's expression clearly, and was not satisfied with Zhao Zheng's expression: "My ancestor, how many more do you want for more than three hundred?" Those bastards in Daomen are basically some people who draw talismans and chant spells, and those who can know alchemy, specialize in medicine and Taoism, and know martial arts, so many people are good. There are also a lot of reclusive high-ranking monks, and I don't count them in.
I met Erlang's kid just now, I heard that you have been tired of this ...... recently, in short, your face is yellow and thin, and you look like you are short of essence and blood, what about the Taoist priests of Honghuguan and Maoshan faction? I've been following you for half a year, can't you just let them do those things that teach the Tao? Baiyun Dao has a great cause, don't always bow down to everything. ”
Zhao Zheng shook his head helplessly: "They don't do enough, let them go to the podium, I'm afraid that the new disciples will be led astray." But after listening to your words, I think these more than 300 people are better than nothing. Hey, I've decided to take them! ”
Gao Linmen listened to Zhao Zheng's words, and immediately jumped up, lest the world be chaotic: "Okay, you lend me the Heavenly Dao Army, and this grandmaster will level all the mountains for you." ”
"We are Taoist priests, we only talk about Taoism, not force!"
Gao Linmen looked at Zhao Zheng with your stupid eyes, isn't it self-defeating to fight with those cannons?
Zhao Zheng didn't like Gao Linmen's eyes, the two were already extremely familiar, and he didn't care about the offense between the words: "Idiot, don't those Taoist priests like to draw what kind of talisman thunder method?" The national division made a real thunder for them. ”
"You will send people to the mountains and sects to spread the news now, this winter solstice, I will hold a conference on the Ten Thousand Laws in this Baiyun Palace, and then we will have to discuss the ownership of this Taoist alliance leader."
