Chapter 39: Hypocrisy
Chun Yu is determined to learn, not afraid of hardship, Zhang Forget also has the heart to fulfill him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, it is easy to dictate, but it is difficult to copy a book.
In these years, I still used a brush to write, kneeling in front of the long desk, hanging my wrist and writing, which was ridiculously slow.
In the process of dictation, Zhang forgot to accidentally sleep seven or eight times.
Chun Yuyi felt that this was not a solution, so he packed up his pen and ink, turned around and left, and let Zhang forget for the time being.
Zhang forgot to think that Chun Yuyi retreated in the face of difficulties, and he still had some contempt in his heart.
To put it mildly, you can't stand this little hardship?
The next day, when fifteen scholars came to his study together under the leadership of Chun Yuyi, Zhang Wang was dumbfounded.
It turned out that Chun Yuyi did not retreat in the face of difficulties, but went to find a backup group.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" is divided into 16 parts, and 16 people have put up a posture, and each person only writes one.
And Zhang Forget, he needs to say a word, take turns in turn, and let the sixteen people keep writing.
In this way, the progress of copying books has been accelerated by sixteen times, and it is completely impossible for Zhang Forget to sleep between copying books.
After only persisting for half a day, Zhang Wang's mouth was so tired that he had no love.
During the meal, Zhang Forget asked Chun Yuyi: "Where did you get the money to invite so many scholars?" I don't remember ever sending you a monthly payment. ”
Chun Yuyi said with a smile: "When the house slaves patrol at night, some secretly sleep and some secretly drink, I usually know, but I deliberately connive. Yesterday I made a surprise inspection, arrested three who drank and two who slept, and fined 5,000 yuan, which was more than enough to pay the daily money of those who were studying. ”
Zhang Wangyan couldn't help but look at Chun Yuyi with admiration, he looked honest and pure, but in fact, his belly was extremely black, this was really a biting dog that didn't bark.
Chun Yuyi saw that Zhang Wang's eyes were not good, and smiled awkwardly: "You let me be the third housekeeper, and you don't give me monthly money, so I have to think of my own ideas to make some money to spend." By the way, the ice cellar has been built, and any ice that cannot be sold on the same day can be stored. ”
Zhang Wangfu was surprised: "How can ice not be sold?" On this hot day, who wouldn't be willing to buy some ice to escape the heat. ”
"A bucket of ice is too expensive, only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford it, but there are many places where nobles need to spend money, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money on ice every day."
"What a bunch of stupid people, none of them can do business?"
Zhang Forget sighed and shook his head: "How much can you sell if you are engaged in retail for a day?" Why not wholesale? There are not a hundred restaurants and tea shops in Luoyang City, but also eighty, why not deliver them to your door? ”
"It's gone."
Chun Yuyi was a little aggrieved: "Those shopkeepers think our ice is expensive and refuse to buy it." ”
"If you don't want to buy it, then find a way to let them buy it, you don't have a brain?"
Zhang Wangleng snorted: "If you don't buy it in the restaurant, you sell chilled wine next to the restaurant, and the price is the same as in the restaurant." The tea shop doesn't buy it, just sells chilled tea next to the tea shop, and the price in the tea shop, so it insists on three or five days, and you see if they buy it or not. ”
Chun Yuyi was dumbfounded: "Wouldn't it be too much to do this?" Those restaurants and tea shops all have backgrounds. We may not be able to afford to mess with it. ”
"Only those who can afford to provoke are called bullying the weak and fearing the hard. I forget my bones, why am I afraid of power? ”
Zhang Forget said disdainfully: "Besides, the restaurant's daily turnover is more than 100,000 yuan, and I bought more than a dozen buckets of ice, but more than 1,000 yuan, is it worth turning my face?" If the shopkeeper had to report this little thing to the master, what would the owner think of him? I will definitely think, useless things, this little thing can't be handled well, what use do I want you? ”
Chun Yuyi saw that Zhang Wang's analysis was the truth, and he guessed through the thoughts of those shopkeepers, and couldn't help but have a further understanding of his shamelessness.
He thought about it for a while, felt that something was still wrong, and asked, "What if we sell chilled liquor and tea on the side of the restaurant tea shop, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant tea shop sends someone to drive away and beat people?" ”
"Lao Tzu's subordinates are all bandits, will you be afraid that they will come out to fight?"
Zhang Wangha laughed: "If they don't come out to fight, I'll lead them out to fight." If you don't fight, where does the blood come from? Elite soldiers are not trained, they are all fought, do you understand? ”
Chun Yuyi stared at Zhang Wang, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "What does Mr. do in training?" Is it difficult that you are really a disciple of the Taiping Sect, and you have the heart to overthrow this Han court? ”
"The Taiping Sect asked me to be the sect leader, but I didn't go, let alone go to be a small leader under the sect leader. Those people are destined to be unsuccessful. ”
Zhang Forget let out a long sigh, walked out of the door with a regretful face, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Chun Yuyi was stunned for a while before he reacted, ran out and shouted, "Sir, don't go!" I'm going to keep copying books in the afternoon. Fifteen scholars will charge me 1,200,000 yuan a day, sir, you can't be lazy. ”
Zhang Wangjin Cicada broke off his shell and ran out, and the Mingxu Taoist who met Yudingguan carried a cart of gypsum over.
Seeing Zhang Wang, Mingxu hurriedly bowed: "The three thousand catties of corn that the layman offered to the Taoist temple have been fully harvested, and the poor Taoist has also brought a cart of saltpeter and two carts of gypsum to the layman. If the layman has no other instructions, the poor Taoist will go back to the Taoist temple. ”
"Don't be in a hurry."
Zhang Forget stepped forward and grabbed Mingxu's sleeve, and said sincerely: "There are hundreds of slaves in my family, but none of them are literate and hyphenated, which makes me lose face. The Taoist has an elegant temperament, and at first glance he is a person who has read books, and if he is interested in coming to my house to work part-time as a teacher, I plan to teach the children of the servants to read. ”
The Mingxu Daoist couldn't believe his ears: "The layman wants to teach the children of slaves to read?" ”
Zhang forgot to pretend to be stupid and said, "Yes, is there a problem?" ”
The family is used to drag down the slaves, and the high salary is used to buy the slaves, but to really win the hearts of the slaves, you still have to give them a hope. This hope is to read and be reasonable, and give their children and grandchildren a chance to get ahead.
No parent doesn't want their children and grandchildren to get ahead. I promised them a bright future, so that they could see that their children and grandchildren had the opportunity to change their destiny, and they would not worry about them not giving up and working hard for themselves.
There are ways to make money on your own, but without a group of sufficiently loyal slaves, it will be easy to reveal the secret recipe, so that any kind of business will not last long.
I tried my best to make wedding clothes for others in the end, which was really a loss.
"Ask the children of the slaves in the house, sir, the poor people live so much, I have never seen such a thing." Mingxu was still a little confused.
"Teaching for two hours a day, giving you 100 yuan a day, paid rest on holidays, cotton in winter, hair in summer, two meals a day for free, how about the long idea?"
Zhang Forget didn't want to give him too much time to think about it, so he directly threw out a series of various benefits.
Mingxu couldn't eat, so he had to enter the Taoist temple and become a monk, and he didn't have much awe for the Sanqing patriarch. At this time, seeing Zhang Wang's sincere invitation, he was immediately moved.
The son tiger head is outside, no one takes care of him, and he has to rely on his own help to eat enough every day, which is very pitiful. If Zhang Wang's request is agreed, the living conditions of the father and son will undoubtedly be turned upside down.
"Poor Road...... I can't do anything about this matter, and I need to go back and ask the Lord for advice. ”
Ming Xuan was willing to do everything in his heart, but he couldn't directly agree to come down, and if he entered the Taoist temple, he was not a free body.
"Okay, although the Taoist chief goes to ask for instructions, load a cart of ice when you leave, and when you come back, remember to bring a cart of stone gall back."
Zhang forgot to get Mingxu and sent a servant to carry a few buckets of plaster to his study and began to make molds.
After several days of hard work by the domestic servants, the mud cakes made of the soil in the north have been spread all over the courtyard.
Under the leadership of the pottery slaves, the servants made a batch of shoddy clay pots and pottery vessels by the wheel cart blank method, and after firing them with a simple pile firing method, they found that this batch of pottery was pure and white, which was very beautiful.
They tried to sell it in the market, but it still sold very well, which made Zhang Wang, who was looking forward to producing white porcelain, a little speechless.
However, Zhang Forget did not stop this serious wasteful behavior, but encouraged the slaves to continue to make it.
As a pottery method that is still respected in later generations, the blank drawing method has its irreplaceability.
Only by practicing a lot of hands, long-term exploration and improvement, can the slaves truly improve and sublimate their skills.
Zhang Forget did not call the servants to help, but sent someone to call the beans who were diligently making ice. Gypsum molding, he doesn't want to spread it for the time being.
The so-called compression molding pottery method is to make a concave mold with gypsum, and then put the clay or porcelain clay in this mold for billet making, so that the fastest only a few seconds to complete a product, and the size and shape are exactly the same, and the quality is also guaranteed.
The Han Dynasty already had the production of molds, such as the five-baht coins used for circulation, which were made of molds. However, due to the constraints of the conditions, most of the molds in this era were made of clay, stone and wood, and metal ones were rare. Gypsum is a thing that Taoist priests use to alchemy, doctors use to dispense medicine, and the people regard it as useless.
It is very easy to make a mold with gypsum, no special equipment is required, just a knife and a piece of paper or wood, plus some soapy water as a separator.
There is no soap in this era, but it is not difficult to make at all, and many families in later generations make soap and soap by themselves.
The plant ash is soaked in hot water, which is alkaline water, and the alkaline water and oil are fused, and the extraction is soap. Add some water to the soap and you can make a release agent.
Making soap is actually a way to make money, but it is too close to the troubled times, and it may not have the opportunity to become bigger.
Douzi saw that Zhang Forget was going to teach him the craft again, and he was happy and depressed at the same time.
Happily, Zhang Forget trusted her the most, so he taught her all kinds of techniques of daily gold without reservation. It's frustrating that I always work alone, and no one helps, so I'm really tired.
