Chapter 292: A Lock Famous in History
Cao Yusen's voice came from inside, Cao Yusen's voice was so clear, it was just a meaningless sound!
Cao Yusen is inside! That's one thing for sure! It's just how did he open the door? The door is very solid, you don't have a key, or the way to open it is not good!
But then look at it, this door is not opened with a key, but can be opened by a specific method. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, the block on the door can be moved, so move these things to open the door.
Zhang Qiuchi's face changed greatly, and he said: "I have always wondered if it is this, but now I look at it again and again, and I am sure that it is really!" Which could it be besides this! It's amazing! I didn't expect to see a lock that is famous in history in my lifetime! A lock of the highest order! ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, looked at Zhang Qiuchi, and asked, "What are you talking about?" A lock that is famous in history? It is also known as the highest quality lock! ”
Zhang Qiuchi said: "In fact, this most powerful lock is not from our China, but from the Lee Dynasty of North Korea, which is now North Korea. Historically, the good locks have been paid tribute to our heavenly kingdom by Joseon. ”
The fat man was a little puzzled: "How is this possible!" Our great China is far stronger than North Korea in terms of politics, economy, culture, technology and other aspects, but it is far behind in lock-making technology? ”
Zhang Qiuchi smiled bitterly and replied: "If you want to say the previous words, our lock industry is indeed leading!" But you know that our China is a great China, and the kingdom of heaven lives on its own. Craftsmen and so on are sometimes classified as lowly occupations and are not taken seriously, and their social status is extremely low. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, the hierarchy was clear. This has fundamentally hit the pace of development of various industries. In addition, the mausoleums built by emperors and dignitaries, although they are all breathtaking, and the chain is also magical, but every craftsman who makes it will be executed, so as to beware of leaking the art of cracking! ”
Indeed! O craftsmen, O builders of the mausoleum, once the mausoleum is completed, it is the time of their death.
And the main craftsmen, not to mention the other people who built the mausoleum, they can also prevent themselves from being executed, and secretly make secret passages, so that they can escape, and those main craftsmen are certain to die! Because this is the object of the key targeting. Most of them would not be with ordinary craftsmen, etc., and were put to death by the supervisor watching.
Emperor, of course, you have to use the best! The most skilled craftsmen were taken to serve the emperor. And even if the dignitaries can't use the best like the emperor, they will be the second best, the third best. Once they serve the emperor and dignitaries, the top talents in these industries often don't even have time to pass on their skills, and when they die, they will naturally be lost.
In such a situation, do you still want the skills to develop rapidly for a long time? That's a very difficult thing to do.
Zhang Qiuchi saw that everyone understood this, and he said easily: "Like North Korea, they all attach more importance to the lock industry, and they will not be like our China, the best skills are not taken seriously, but they are studying it in this way, and they are far better than us in this regard!" In addition, I protect the craftsmen and let their skills be passed on, and over time, I will be thrown off many streets in China! Therefore, the lock technique is still the first to recommend North Korea, which is the case! ”
Zhang Qiuchi pointed to this door and said: "This is the most famous 'Meridian Mandarin Duck Core, Opposite Top Plum Blossom Core, Heaven and Earth Qiankun Core' of the three boxes made of layers of progressively difficult, delicate and higher locks!" It is said that this came from the time of Seonjong of the Joseon Dynasty, when the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ignored the unanimous opposition of the civil servants and did not use the money of the national treasury, but used the internal money, and the emperor's money thus fought a great war to aid the Korean and resist the Japanese, and defeated the Japanese state. ”
"On this occasion, the whole country of Korea celebrates the great victory, and even praises Yi Sunsin as a great hero, right! It is the Korean national hero Yi Sunsin, named after the minister of Emperor Shun. Joseon Seonjong heard of the great victory of the anti-Japanese war and preserved his Joseon Dynasty, just as the first lock master in the country felt the victory of the Great Patriotic War, so he made a three-layer box of 'meridian mandarin duck core, top plum blossom core, heaven and earth Qiankun core', and dedicated it to Seonjong. ”
"Xuanzong is therefore a dragon's heart, and he has rewarded this master generously! It's just that I didn't expect that forty years later, North Korea was twice defeated by Huang Taiji, who changed the name of the country to Jin, and North Korea, which called itself 'Little China', was finally the Qing Dynasty that submitted to Huang Taiji. I have to mention that since the Qing Dynasty, North Korea has not really submitted to the Qing Dynasty, everything is based on the costumes and other rules of the Ming Dynasty, etc., and it still considers itself a small China, but it regards China that was originally occupied by the Qing Dynasty as Huyi. ”
"To get back to the point, Huang Taiji defeated North Korea, and forced the king of North Korea to bow three times and bow nine times, which was extremely humiliating. Huang Taiji also took this opportunity to ask North Korea to pay him a tribute for the box of the highest lock-making technology! And forced the locksmith of North Korea to build an imperial tomb for him! ”
"This box was presented to Huang Taiji by the master of the maker who went to Shengjing to enter the earth, when he was old and had the potential to enter the earth, Huang Taiji let him go. He happened to see two little children begging on the streets of Shengjing, and seeing that they were very smart, he brought them back to North Korea and passed on all his skills to the two of them. These two people are the most famous locksmiths from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the famous 'South Zhang and North Tan!' And Beitan was originally in the imperial capital, and later moved back to Shengjing, which is now Shencheng. ”
The masked man nodded and said, "I know!" Seriously, if you are a tomb robber for generations, you must learn locks, unlocks, or other skills, so you can't get around Nanzhang and Beitan. To the south is the Zhang family in Suzhou, and to the north is the Tan family in the imperial capital, and later in the middle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they have moved back to their hometown of Shengjing. Even if the south and north Tan have declined, it can still affect until before the founding of the People's Republic of China. It can be seen from this that the south and north Tan in the lock industry used to be so brilliant. ”
Many people understand that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of people have been greatly impulsed, broken and old, etc., so many industries are declining and lost, and the original decline is equivalent to suffering a fatal blow.
Zhang Qiuchi was also stunned, looked at the masked man, and said, "It seems that you are really a tomb robber for generations, you know so clearly!" Seriously, the reason why I understand is because I have to learn this skill, if you don't understand, there are a lot of locked doors, gates, you don't know how to open the mechanism, you don't know how to open the door, don't you go home empty-handed? ”
Zhang Qiuchi paused and said something that made everyone hopeful: "So I used to learn lockpicking in the Zhang family in Suzhou for a period of time. I have heard of the three top core locks in this legend, and the simplest of the three meridian mandarin duck cores is because the Zhang family has, and I also teach the disciples how to open it, and I was taught by the master to open it! It is said that this is not the most original, the most complicated, or the simple version. ”
