Yang Meng gave Ge Shiyang enough time, and after he and Wei Wu finished their supper, they paced half a circle in the West Mountain before coming back slowly.

"How? You've thought about it, right? Tan Yubin, Li Mingfu, and Cao Zhishu followed Master Ge to make records, and now is the time for you people to shine.

It has to do with what I have explained, say whatever you want, talk nonsense, and beware of your flesh and skin.

It's still the same as just now, what you say is rewarding, what you say is useful, maybe everyone here can also get a good job like the three of them.

Raise your hand before you speak, and you can only speak after Master Ge nods, let's start! ”

As soon as Yang Meng's words were finished, Pan Gui commanded the people and brought over a few boxes of gold bars.

And Yang Meng gave Ge Shiyang a chance to stand up, Ge Shiyang is also clever, very good at seizing opportunities, holding a charcoal pen and swinging indiscriminately, attracting the people below, and they can't stop swinging.

"You speak first."

Ge Shiyang's charcoal was stunned, and a student stood up first, and Yang Meng felt good that Ge Shiyang's first choice was a young student, and nodded secretly.

"The Qing Dynasty is large, the land is vast, and the things are ......"

"Stop! What to say, don't talk nonsense! It's the same with the people below, no matter how much nonsense you talk about, beware of being whipped! ”

Without waiting for the student to speak, Yang Meng interrupted him with a frown, what the hell, is it interesting to start with this?

"Gunpowder, the Tang Dynasty's "Zhenyuan Miaodao Strategy" was the first to mention, gunpowder has a history of thousands of years in the Qing Dynasty. Since then, gunpowder has been recorded in countless classics throughout the ages. Can ......"

"What are the books? Make it clear! ”

This interrupted the student. It was Ge Shiyang, countless classics in the past dynasties, in Ge Shiyang's ears, seemed too imprudent, so he interrupted the student with a word, picked up the charcoal pen and prepared to write down the classics that were about to appear.

"You can't list them all."

The student was not very old, and he was stopped by the question. By the light of the fire, Yang Meng could see the embarrassment on his face.

"Not bad! Gunpowder is a big item, and if you can name one at your age, and you can count it as having read some books, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. ”

Hearing the gunpowder a thousand years ago, Yang Meng was a little helpless, the Qing Dynasty was beaten by the things made by his ancestors a thousand years ago, is he as helpless as himself?

But this beginning is undoubtedly good, with this. I believe that the things below will look better! Catch ten taels of silver. The embarrassment on the student's face was gone, and all that was left was joy, thinking that the ten taels of silver could encourage him to read and write more!

"Who's next?"

The Qing Kingdom had gunpowder a thousand years ago, which undoubtedly gave Ge Shiyang a great shock, how many shocking things will there be in this ancient Eastern Empire, waiting for him to discover?

The first young man made a good start, and the next thing to choose was some erudite people, and the second one Ge Shiyang pointed out was a master with a little gray hair.

"If you talk about the engineering classics in China, the first recommendation is the Northern Song Dynasty Shen Kuo Shen Cunzhong's "Mengxi Writings", this book includes the astronomical calendar, the number of musical rhythms, personnel and official administration, farmland and water conservancy, the use of skills and instruments, and magical things, this book combines the classics of the past dynasties of workers, farmers, officials and commercial laws.

As far as I know, in iron-making alone, there are steel-making, forging, and steel-filling.

The specific method of steelmaking is not clear to students, but the steel-forging method is a common method for forging swords in the Qing Dynasty, but due to the different craftsmen and raw materials in various places, although the steel-forging method has great similarities, there are more differences.

We can take the forging method in Shen Cun as the original, entangle the forging method of steel in various places, and try to see if we can create a better forging method.

As for the steel filling method, although it is called steel filling, it is actually a raw and cooked iron hybridization method, and it cannot be called real steel. There are also three kinds of this method, one is the pig iron trapping method, the two pig iron bunching method, and the third is the pig iron pouring method.

I don't know how the first two methods are, but the pig iron pouring method has been spread in the Qing Dynasty, and the method of Suzhou steel smelting is the pig iron pouring method. ”

This old master's skills are good, just a few words, aroused the interest of Yang Meng and Ge Shiyang, Yang Meng did not expect that there were so many steelmaking methods in the Qing Dynasty, and Ge Shiyang was more interested in the specific process of these steelmaking methods.

"I also have a copy of "Dream Creek Writings", why don't you have some of the methods you mentioned?"

Ge Shiyang happened to have a copy of "Mengxi Writings" at hand, but Ge Shiyang had never seen the steelmaking method he was talking about, could it be that this person was talking nonsense?

"How many volumes of Master Ge's "Dream Creek Writings" are there?"

Regarding Ge Shiyang's questioning, the master was not surprised, but just asked slowly.

"Just one volume."

"That's right, what Master Ge has in his hand should be a fragment or a usurpation, if it's a fragment, it's better, if it's a usurpation, it's better not to look at it, there are many things in it, there are fallacies."

"I see! Then my book must be usurped, I said that many things in the book are very unreasonable, and the reason is here!

Give me your Dream Creek Writings! I'm going to take a closer look. ”

Ge Shiyang is also direct, open his mouth to ask for it, such a book is very important to Ge Shiyang, the lord gave him a lot of power, although this seems to be very good, but the responsibility behind the power is very huge.

In order to be able to do a good job of the lord's errand, Ge Shiyang even left the etiquette of the Qing people behind.

"This ......"

Ge Shiyang spoke easily, but the master below made him sweat profusely, what the book "Mengxi Writings" looked like, he had never seen it himself, and the things he just said were just what he researched from some historical books.

As soon as Ge Shiyang opened his mouth, he picked out the loopholes in his words, and kept saying "Mengxi Writings", but he really hadn't read this book.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he saw the master's situation, Yang Meng knew that what he said just now was mixed with water, and he had just said that he was not allowed to talk nonsense. Is this one looking for death?

"Third master. Most of the "Dream Creek Writings" that students know are based on their own research. It is said that there are thirty volumes of this book, but the student has not read any of them, but what the student says should be seven or eight points credible.

The above things are all verified by me from the classics of the past dynasties and the notes of some book collectors, and there is little chance of forgery, please forgive the third master for the student's sin of false words. ”

Yang Meng frowned. With Yang Meng's questioning, the dozens of swordsmen present all focused their eyes on this master, they didn't look at the excitement, they could see the position.

The invisible pressure directly made this master kneel on the ground, and the feeling of being stared at by a group of jackals was extremely bad.

"Mr. Wei?"

Listen to this person's explanation. Desperately, he turned his head and asked Wei Wu.

"He's pretty much it."

"That's all?"

There are some things that Yang Meng will forget. But there are some things that I won't forget, I seem to have asked Wei Wu to collect such books before, and it seems that this old guy dug a hole again at that time.

"Uh......"

Wei Wu wiped his forehead, this Yang Laosan didn't forget about it!

"Get up! If you are right, you will be rewarded, a hundred taels of gold is for you, I will give you another thousand taels of silver, and you will be responsible for collecting "Mengxi Writings" in the future, and the things in it must be verified one by one, I want the most authentic one. ”

Wei Wu, a traitor, waited until he took Wei Zhiqing from his family and then settled the previous account with him. Now, it's still a matter of business.

"The third master, please forgive the students for their incompetence, such books are either hidden in the palace or in the hands of bibliophiles everywhere, and the students can't do this."

I know how much ability I have, but this master was frightened by the swordsmen just now, what kind of eyes are they? Nonsense costs human lives!

"Hmmm! I'll handle this matter, and you are responsible for the books collected from the research, a thousand taels of silver, as the cost of the research! There is a reward for doing this well!

Go ahead! ”

There is also a reason why Yang Meng frequently rewards these people, Yunnan emphasizes martial arts and light literature, and the monthly salary of the scholar can only ensure food and clothing, and if he wants to be rich in food and clothing, he has to do something, and the reward is to motivate these scholars, and the method of producing results has done one thing, which is enough for ten or eight years of monthly salary, and he is not afraid that these people will not contribute, which is also one of the reasons why Yang Meng set the monthly salary of the scholar as the lowest.

"Tell me about it!"

Ge Shiyang's charcoal pen pointed, and another master rose in response.

"Mengxi Writings" also mentions the copper smelting method of bile alum, the copper immersion method, and some mining methods, which have some effects on the recovery of Yunnan copper.

In addition to the above, the method of building docks, the method of maintaining salt wells, and so on are all described in this book. ”

This seems to want to speculate, picking up people's teeth, but it's not bad, at least dare to say it, can say it.

"Hmmm! Yes, the reward is ten taels of silver, and you can also participate in the research group of "Dream Creek Writings"! This book already has an eyebrow, so let's talk about something else. ”

One night's time, you can't do your best with a book, Yang Meng needs to listen to something that can be used, "Dream Creek Writings" has come out, and we have to see if there are other good things.

"Next!"

Ge Shiyang's charcoal is a little bit, this time he is still an old pedant.

"Third Master, Mr. Wei, Master Ge, if you want to say that this engineering classic, in addition to "Mengxi Writings", there are also "Examination Records" in the Spring and Autumn Period and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in the Han Dynasty.

Although these two books have been written for a long time, the things recorded in them are the ancestors of later generations of engineering books.

With this outline, we are evolving other books, and there is a way to follow. ”

This person's insight is not ordinary, this is to focus on the development of the entire foreign affairs, what he said, Ge Shiyang did not react, Wei Wu is the same, it seems that only Yang Meng is present, and he heard the mystery inside.

"Not bad! The bounty is 500 taels, and you will be the chief teacher of Xishan Academy, and you will compile what you said, and the title of the book will be "The Development of Science and Technology", and this book will become my glory to protect you in Yunnan.

In addition to what you said, there is also why various engineering classics have declined, why they are not treated by major dynasties, you can criticize the imperial courts of previous dynasties, and I will protect you.

The compilation of this book must be concise and powerful, and it is best to arouse the world's scholars to attach importance to foreign affairs and engineering. ”

Yang Meng's words are a little chaotic, but in Yunnan, Yang Sanye's coercion is greater than that of the imperial court, this master, although his face is full of reluctance, but he also reluctantly agreed.

"Go on!"

Yang Meng gave an order, and with a heavy reward, what "Heavenly Creation", "Physics Knowledge", "Agricultural Administration", "River Defense at a Glance", "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Qi Min Yaoshu", and many classics of the past dynasties were dug up by these people.

According to these people, some of the things in the classics hundreds of years ago are still extremely advanced in this world, which makes Yang Meng scratch his head a little, and he wanted to focus on copper salt, but after a night of talking, Yang Meng promised too many things, and these hundred and ten people are not enough at all!

"Mr. Wei, tomorrow we will select 500 people from Minghu Academy, and 1,000 students from all over the world will be selected to enrich Xishan Academy, we are too short of people, let's put the matter over there in Minghu Academy for a while!"

After ordering Wei Wu, Yang Meng turned around and swept the hundred and ten people present.

"The history is thick, the land is vast! But we were still beaten by foreigners, and we were beaten very badly.

These things mentioned tonight are the wealth left to us by our ancestors throughout the ages! It's just been drowned in the years, but now it's different!

Ladies and gentlemen! With the backer of the Yang family in Yunnan, you can wander in the sea of books at will and dig out these riches that have been lost in the years.

Digging out these things is also of great benefit to you, the most realistic thing is that every time you dig out something that can be used, the third master will give you a lot of wealth, dig it! Don't let the essence accumulated over the past 5,000 years of Chinese culture dissipate with the years. Don't let what we create ourselves, go back and fight the descendants of our ancestors.

Gunpowder, we made it thousands of years ago, but what do we use it for? What do foreigners use to make firecrackers and set off fireworks? We can't do it again.

In addition to getting rich and increasing food production, you must put the military first, always first.

When you encounter a good thing, the first thing you have to think about is, can this kill people, and how many people can it kill?

Our firecrackers and fireworks have been changed into foreign guns and foreign cannons by foreigners, you have to change foreign guns and foreign cannons again, and in the future, I will take these things, country after country, one country after another, to take revenge.

And what is the measure of your ability? There are not many requirements, one is to let Yunnan people have food and clothing; the second is to let them live with dignity, not to be inferior, not to be servile; This is the third! It is the guarantee of all this, that they have a strong force, and send one enemy after another, one by one hostile to us, to the place where they should be: the grave! (To be continued......)
