This secretary spoke in a screeching manner, but fortunately, Renault could barely understand it. This waitress is by his side, when he has nothing to do, he serves a cup of tea, grinds ink, does not speak, does not ask questions, just to see, how much can be learned, if Renault looks pleasing to the eye, thinks that it is a talent that can be made, and agrees to accept her as an apprentice, will hold an apprenticeship ceremony.

Think about the fact that in school, teachers shout and scold repeatedly, and some even beat them a few times, just to let students learn more things, this gap is a bit big.

Renault has already calculated, at least he is a primary school bully, and he was not less scolded by the teacher. After more than ten years of study experience, he didn't ask questions, and no one taught him, just looking at it, how much can he learn? Anyway, he doesn't have much confidence.

"That's it, it's okay, but after all, the ninth princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she works as a maid by Lei's side, is this appropriate?"

The pretty face behind the veil showed a smile, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, she was really hard, if this matter didn't work out, and then it was passed back to Beijing, even if His Majesty took pity, the ninth princess was afraid that she would be locked in the cold palace. It's not that Your Majesty doesn't love her daughter, she marries four widows, and you know what it will be like if you think about it.

Don't mention it again if you marry someone or something, even if Your Majesty proposes it, it will be opposed by the Manchu Dynasty, if you marry a daughter, Jiangmen will die a son, who can bear it?

As for Wenchen, not to mention, those guys care about this kind of thing the most, not to mention that the royal family has no tradition of marrying the princess to Wenchen.

can't get married, can't go out of the palace as a princess, can't build a mansion, except in the cold palace, what else can you do?

With such a life, let alone the Nine Princes Palace, even a close female official like her is afraid when she thinks about it. Si Ji, Si Wu, Si Qin, and Si Hua are different from other female officials, they grew up with the Nine Princesses since they were children, and they are female officials who accompany each other, and they are not allowed to leave the Nine Princesses for the rest of their lives.

Renaud guessed correctly, this time she came to instigate the princess behind her back, for the sake of the ninth princess, and for the four of them.

The female disciple who wants to become a secret master, she knows how difficult it is, in Shengjing Luocheng, the same name as the ninth princess is a daughter obtained by King Chu'an eighteen years ago, and she is also famous in Shengjing. The imperial aunt of the ninth princess was arrogant, and at the same time, in order to avoid the rules of the royal woman entering the gate, she took the initiative to devote herself to the secret master of the God of War Temple as a waitress.

No matter how difficult it is, this is the only chance for the ninth princess, say whatever you want to try, she has already prepared Renault to embarrass the ninth princess, but she didn't expect that Renault is so good at talking.

Can you not speak, Renault is a college student who has not yet graduated, and he failed to get a girlfriend who is pleasing to the eye in college, and he has been in Dachu for a month, except for Hu Meier, he has never seen a young woman, and even Hu Meier feels very pleasing to the eye.

Although the three of them have veils on their faces, looking at the figure, it is not comparable to the tiger girl, and she has the identity of a princess, how can Renault push out such a maid?

"Of course, it is in accordance with the rules, the secret master accepts maids, whether they are high or low. Si Ji said excitedly, in fact, her ambition is greater than this, the maid becomes a disciple, and the disciple becomes a lady, which is incest in the people, but this matter is put on the secret master, and it is not a matter.

It is said that there are several secret masters who are married to female disciples. The secret master rarely shows his head, he always keeps learning, and the people he can come into contact with are just a few people, close to the water, and they fall in love for a long time, and it is normal to marry a female disciple.

In addition, the dignity and busyness of the secret master also determined that they didn't care about the status of the woman, and it was pleasing to the eye, and the slave girl could also become a wife, and if it was not pleasing to the eye, the princess had to stand aside. As the secretary of the Ninth Princess, she knows more about the secret master than Zhu Chongjiu, the general.

"I'm not a secretor, I have to think clearly, don't regret it. "Hearing the secret master, Renault quit, even if he wants to find a way back, don't say it so directly, okay, he won't admit that he is a secret master.

"It doesn't matter if it's right or not, the ninth princess must serve sincerely, and the division of the division is the division of the martial arts and the qin, and the liver and brain are willing to be smeared. After speaking, she and Si Wu knelt on their knees and bowed.

Si Wu is another female official, just now Renault scanned it with the God of Wealth, the Ninth Princess and Si Ji are ordinary women, the Si Wu Ke who has never spoken is amazing, a seventeen-year-old girl, and her martial arts have reached the eighth grade. In addition to them, there are actually two?

"Alright, I'll get down. "Anyway, Renault doesn't recognize the secret master, if you want, then follow him, don't say it, there is really a shortage of people around Renault. There is no shortage of the three like the Tiger family, and there is no shortage of those like Luo Yi, what is lacking is a knowledgeable and educated assistant.

Renault never wanted to become a scientist and use technology to change the lives of the people of Dachu, but he wanted to improve his life, not to mention anything else, toilet paper had to be invented, and if he couldn't invent it, he felt that he would die, and his ass would be red.

"Thank you, sir. The three women bowed at the same time and exited the room.

"Huya, is the meal ready?" When the three girls left, Renault shouted to pass the rice, he was really hungry, devoured a meal, swept away six plates of meat, two small bowls of rice, and then patted his stomach with satisfaction, drank three cups of tea, and was comfortable.

"Huya, is the craftsman here?" Renault felt that he was becoming more and more inseparable from Huya, this kid was good, he was on call, and he was reliable, but he was not knowledgeable, he had no culture, and he couldn't point to him for inventions.

"Sir, it's been there a long time ago, Zhao Duo's radical is making room in the backyard, they are starting the furnace, there are too many people, and the place where they live is a little crowded. "What Renault instructed, Huya was very attentive, and ran over to take a look from time to time.

"Aren't there only ten households?" asked Renault in surprise.

"It's ten households, and the craftsmen will take their sons and nephews to work, and there are three or five people in a family, plus female dependents, less than a dozen, and more than dozens. ”

Doesn't that mean that there are 30 or 50 people who work, and at least more than 100 people with female dependents?

Renault didn't know that the craftsman household was different from ordinary people, it was a craftsman, and the family was a craftsman, father to son, and son to grandson, so they all dragged the family with the mouth, and the elderly and children were counted.

The ordinary families in Dachu are different, except for large households, ordinary small households, and if the population is large, they must be separated, otherwise life will be more difficult. If you divide the family, the smart and diligent will live a better life, and the stupid and lazy, even if you don't starve to death, you can only sell coolies and live a difficult life, which is the survival of the fittest with the characteristics of Dachu.

"Let's go, go over and see, how did you start a furnace in the General's Mansion?" Renault walked out of the room and into the backyard.

"The general said that the war is about to start, and the military forces in the Dingjun city are frequently mobilized, and there is some chaos, so it is better not to go to the craftsman camp, the trouble of the province, what do you want to study, just be in the general's mansion. "Huya has really become Renault's spokesperson, and the general's messages are directly transmitted to him.

Speaking of which, the General's Mansion is chaotic enough now. The mansion, which was not large in the first place, was transferred to two thousand personal guards, plus servants and auxiliaries. There is also the residence of the ninth princess, the residence of Renault, and now there are ten more craftsmen, and they are full.

There are dozens of torches lit in the backyard, a bunch of craftsmen are busy, it seems that they have been busy for a while, the ten-meter-diameter bottom furnace has been seated, and the fire bricks are being covered.

After looking at it for a while, Renault saw that there were many people, busy but not chaotic, these are all professionals. Modern people like professionals and feel at ease when they see them work.

"Huya, call the steward. ”

A white-clothed scribe came over and bowed: "Please Mr. Lei, Xiushi Cui Qing, I have seen Mr." ”

Renault blinked, didn't understand, Huya whispered: "Sir, Xiushi is the best scholar in the exam." ”

Oh, got it, it's about the same as Xiucai?

"Cui Xiushi is polite, this is a furnace for smelting?" Renault also said politely.

Cui Qing was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Lei just calls me Cui Qing." ”

Da Chu Wenwu Shutu, there is no direct call Xiushi name, the close one is called the table word, or the name is called directly. It seems that the legend is true, this Mr. Lei is really not a person from Dachu, or even from a neighboring country, otherwise he wouldn't even know this.

"Okay, let's call you Cui Qing. "Renault doesn't care what it's called, it's just a name, and it's good if people can understand it.

"This is the furnace of Da Chu, stacked with fire bricks, coated with porcelain clay inside and outside, with a furnace inside, charcoal under the gall to light the fire, and the wind blowing outside, a furnace in half a day, is the best furnace in Da Chu at present. "Since Mr. Lei is not from Chu, then he must explain it clearly.

To be able to become the steward of these ten craftsmen, Cui Qing has worked hard to get it, it is said that this Mr. Lei is a secret master, and by his side, he may be able to steal some thaumaturgy.

"Furnace ......" Renault has never learned smelting, it can be seen that there is still knowledge, this is a crucible furnace, quite advanced, I don't know what material the crucible is used, graphite?

"It's the way to burn. Cui Qing felt that Mr. Lei seemed to really understand.

"What kind of material is used in the furnace?" As a modern person, even a layman knows that the most basic thing in industry is material science, and without good materials, everything is empty talk.

"Inkstone. After Cui Qing finished speaking, he turned around and took a black stone and offered it with both hands.

Renault took it and looked at it, but he didn't understand, although he knew that graphite could be used to make crucibles, but he didn't know what graphite looked like.

"Well, yes, do you use charcoal?"

"Yes, Dingxi artisan households have a special charcoal farm. Cui Qing replied.

"Can there be a hot chamber for blasts?" Renault couldn't fault it, he really didn't know much.
