Chapter 329 Inspirational

In Zhou Junwu's later memories, the spring of the tenth year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty was not going well.As soon as the study of Gewu was born, his wild ambitions were hit by a blow. The research on gunpowder made no progress, and even exploded. What a humble craftsman's art is the way of finding things, it is a humble knowledge of ingenious obscene skills, grandpa concubine did not stand by his side this time, as for the married man who was bothered by his family all day long but had many dissatisfaction in his heart A sister who is realistic and imaginary is even less likely to become an ally with his country.

The 13-year-old little prince found the direction to fight for the first time in his life, and the world around him ruthlessly poured cold water on him, which dealt a great blow to him.

I'm so tired, I feel like I won't love anymore...

Of course, the troubles of the young Jun Wu did not last long.The impact of this spring on him was too great throughout his entire life.At the end of spring, Master came back from Hangzhou. He was unable to go out to visit because of the confinement. But soon after, around mid-March, Master came to the palace once. However, due to the relationship with the grandpa's son-in-law, he was allowed to go out temporarily, and the foot ban was lifted.

Among the literati at this time, the address of the teacher is actually quite particular.Most of the people who taught Zhou Junwu in the palace were great Confucian scholars in the Jiangning area, but on Zhou Junwu’s side, these people are still called teachers, and he calls Ning Yi a master after he likes Gewuxue. The difference between the two very big.Although Ning Yi has not been in Jiangning for a long time, such titles will not be talked about at any time, but various differences can be manifested in the details.

These guests in the palace are all people of status and status, and there is nothing to say when they are inferior to Kang Xian. Kang Xian is a son-in-law, and his knowledge is extremely deep, but he has no fame.But Ning Yi is only a young man in his early twenties. Even if his quick thinking and talent are amazing, and he can win the title of Jiangning's number one genius, it is only on the path of poetry. Yi.

Because of this, at the beginning of last year, Zhang Rui and Li Tong, two guests in the palace, had approached Ning Yi.At that time, an assassin happened to assassinate Qin Yuyuan, and Ning Yi's hot hand scared the two of them, and the two of them died down.However, after Ning Yi left Jiangning, the little prince became more and more fond of those craftsmen's skills, and all kinds of resentment among the royal family's guests swelled up. He often persuaded the little prince to rein in the precipice when he was giving lectures, and read the way of sages. But Zhou Junwu is not willing to listen.

Of course, the little prince has a good temper after all, he nodded submissively in front of the teacher to be taught, and turned his head to deal with his own affairs.What he respected was only the identity of the teacher, but not the other party himself.A group of teachers also advised King Kang, but Zhou Yong has been a rich and idle king all his life, and he knows that even if his son learns to be like Kang Xian, it is meaningless. If he is really knowledgeable, he wants to do something big. But he has no way to serve the country, and he would feel depressed instead, so he didn't care about it. If it wasn't for the gunpowder incident, he would be happy that his son had some vulgar and boring tastes, which was better than being as ambitious as his daughter.

This time when Ning Yi came back, due to some changes on Zhou Pei and Jun Wu's side, a group of guests in the palace also got the wind, discussing that when Ning Yi came to the door, he would have to compete with him on the knowledge of the scriptures, so that the prince and The little prince can clearly see how unreliable this young man is.Of course, it is impossible for everyone to underestimate Ning Yi now, but even if Ning Yi has martial arts, he killed assassins on the street at the beginning, and now he has returned from a near-death in Hangzhou. Personal martial arts are still in the eyes of these scholars. It's just a trail.A group of middle-aged and elderly scholars are confident that it is not a big problem to turn Ning Yi in the poems and scriptures.

They have made preparations for this. After Zhou Junwu heard about it, he was quite looking forward to it, but after Ning Yi accepted Zhou Pei's entrustment, he only called Junwu out of the door through Kang Xian, and a group of guest ministers went to battle. There is no chance to post.In the next few days, the master and apprentice wandered around Jiangning City a few times, and Zhou Pei also took the opportunity to go out and follow around.She originally expected Ning Yi to persuade Jun Wu not to do those dangerous things again, but Ning Yi led Jun Wu to turn around, but it was full of docks, workshops and other places, telling him about waterwheels and looms Development, various mechanical ingenious and exquisite ideas, etc., etc., etc... Ning Yi has said this to Jun Wu in the past, but now it is more detailed.

After wandering around like this for three days, when sending the pair of siblings back in the evening, Zhou Pei sneaked out after entering the palace, dragged Ning Yi into the alley next to the palace and began to complain: "Mr. promised me to keep Junwu away from those dangers." Things are working hard, why tell him these things now..."

Ning Yi laughed: "Of course I have my intentions."

"However, sir, this will only make Junwu like the things about Gewuxue more. Maybe he will start making gunpowder again in a few days. How can you do this, sir, if Junwu..."

The girl chattered anxiously, and said a lot with sullen face and frowning. Although her usual demeanor was considered elegant and graceful, but at this time, if you only talk about the image of a girl, she has a big head and a pointed chin. The body is a little thin, like a little hen talking desperately on its own.Ning Yi tilted his head and looked at her for a while, and snapped a finger on her forehead. The girl was stunned, blinked and stopped talking.

"I have a way, the princess just watch it, don't question the professionals."

Ning Yi waved his hand and turned around to go out from the alley.In fact, unlike Junwu's obedience, Zhou Pei was not absolutely convinced of Ning Yi in the past.Of course, this is only on the surface. The little princess is a very assertive person. Even if Ning Yi's ability has been recognized in his heart, he will say what should be said, asked, and questioned on weekdays. Ning Yi I really appreciate this kind of attitude, for a superior person can't rely only on teachers and superiors, the little princess has done better than Junwu in this respect.

Of course, in the past, if Zhou Peila didn't look down and became a mess, Ning Yi would also pat her on the head with something unceremoniously.But Zhou Pei was still a loli at that time, and she hadn't seen her for a year, and now she was more of a girlish temperament, so this action seemed a little ambiguous.Zhou Pei blushed for a while in the alley, and finally stomped back.In the past year, she has stopped studying, and she is facing more pressure from marriage at home. Although she has been procrastinating, all kinds of pre-marital education have become the main homework every day. Fang propped his chin and thought wildly for a while.

It rained lightly the next day, and Ning Yi, Jun Wu, and Zhou Pei sat in Yilanju for a whole morning.He picked a place by the window, brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Jun Wu to explain some of his ideas and ideas while listening to the sound of rain.The maids and attendants sat idle around, Zhou Pei put on a veil in a ladylike manner, while nibbling pastries under the veil, she rolled her eyes to peek at the movement in other places.The decoration of Yilanju is actually similar to the tea restaurants of later generations. Every location is separated by screens, flowers and plants. The field of view is not wide, but there is a kind of pleasure of peeping at others. The sound of silk and bamboo music When it came, it felt like a large group of people visiting the garden, combining elegance and tackiness well.

"...Actually, if you want to fly to the sky, you can have several ideas. Let's start with the things we already have. We can divide them into three types: kites, Ertijiao, and Kongming lanterns. We can draw them all..."

The content of Ning Yi and her younger brother writing and drawing next to her is naturally her most concerned thing.They were talking there about how to fly into the sky——Zhou Pei was a little helpless about this matter. She knew that what Jun Wu looked forward to most after learning about things was to be able to fly into the sky one day, but it was enough for her little brother to dream like this. Today Ning Yi, who is a teacher, still discusses with her younger brother in a serious manner, and she feels a little out of tune in her heart.

But the development of the situation was quite strange. It was raining outside, amidst the faint singing in the restaurant, Mr. Ning actually actually drew a lot of things there.The possibility of flying to the sky from the structure and principle one after another... Flying?How can there be such a possibility, and it is not a fairy.But under Ning Yi's detailed and plain description, after Zhou Pei saw those graphics, he felt vaguely in his heart that it was really possible to fly.

The most likely one is naturally a large Kongming lantern with a hanging basket, and another thing with two pairs of wings is more complicated, but it evolved from a kite. Zhou Pei can understand some of the basic principles , if big and small kites can fly into the sky, is this... possible?

This kind of thought just crossed her mind for a while, and what made her most depressed was that after hearing this, the little brother might become even more fascinated with Nageophysics and become a craftsman.This Ning Liheng...Mr. Ning...doesn't keep his word!

Then, she heard Ning Yi start talking to Jun Wu about something else.

"...In the past few days, I will take you to see the loom, the hanging wheel on the pier, the waterwheel, and the printing. Since 600 years ago, it has increased by more than five times. Compared with the most primitive loom thousands of years ago, the development has been more than ten times. The development of waterwheels has been two to three times, and it is more durable. The workshop for printing books In the past, the engraving has become better and better, and the masters have become more and more proficient. Today's movable type still has big problems, but of course there is room for development. We just need to find more durable movable type materials. When can we find them? If this continues, it should only be a matter of time..."

Zhou Pei pouted behind the veil, while Jun Wu nodded desperately.Ning Yi smiled: "But... for more than 200 years, do you know how many people are doing this?"

He paused: "There are at least a few 10 people living in the weaving industry in the Jiangnan area. Over the past 200 years, how many generations have gone through. Everyone lives on weaving. If you can weave a little more, you can make more money. After the rise of the workshop, a large family like the Su family will at least have a few craftsmen who help improve the loom. Over the years, with so many people, the efficiency has increased by five times, and some people have only slightly improved the loom in their lifetime. A small part..."

When Jun Wu frowned in confusion, Ning Yi sighed: "In fact, those who really research and improve looms are all stupid people, and really smart people, as long as they have some connections, they all go to study. After all, everything is inferior. , only those who study well and have the opportunity to study, who would like to be a craftsman. But those who join this industry, even if they are stupid, let's say there are a thousand of them... Jun Wu, do you think that one person is better than a thousand people? Is it great?"

Jun Wu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"You used to be young, but now you are thirteen. Even if you can't start a family, you can start to make up your mind. I can really tell you about these things." Ning Yi put a piece of paper with a hot air balloon beside him in front of Zhou Junwu, "This is the simplest method we have decided on now. There are several problems that you have to solve. What kind of rope to use, what kind of fuel to use, and how to control the size of the fire most stably. The fire must be large enough, But the material used for burning should not be too heavy. The fabric used for the upper part of the hot air balloon must be able to seal and withstand the heat of the fire, and it must not be broken. Once broken, even if there is a small hole, the people on it will be killed All dead. Any one of these things needs the assistance of other trades. Just to make such a good cloth, you may have to spend a lifetime in the weaving industry. And the rope used on it, you know, just The weaving method of the hemp rope used for the suspension wheel on the pier is related to the efficiency of the suspension wheel, which is very particular... This hot air balloon can’t control the direction of flight, can you do it alone, in a lifetime?”

"Then...then what should I do..." Jun Wu's face was already wrinkled.Zhou Pei was stunned for a while, looking at Ning Yi and blinking, she had already vaguely guessed what Ning Yi was going to say.

Ning Yi tilted his head, and looked at the child in front of him with a bewitching smile: "You are still young, you like this kind of thing at first, and you just find it interesting, but there is no one in the world who can do it easily without being happy all the time. It’s done. What I’m going to tell you next, you can think about it in a few years, because I may be going to the capital, and I don’t have time to teach you this..."

"Your sister has always hoped that you will become a big man in the future, set up a heart for the world and bring peace to all generations, but it is impossible. Although you are young, you actually know this, and His Highness Kang Wang also understands it, so he never cares about you. But Gewuxue You can do it in the future, learning craftsman, there is no problem at all, you can have money and power in the future, you can win over a large number of smart people, and you can let them do various things purposefully, as long as If you can grasp the overall situation and grasp the direction, the time to produce these things can be shortened by ten times and a hundred times. Then first of all, you have to learn to be a smart prince and learn how to make more people do the same as you You are very smart, if you are really interested, there are many people in the palace who can teach you about this..."

When Ning Yi said that he was going to the capital, he seemed to have a sense of solemnity. Almost at that time, Xiao Junwu made the decision with great enthusiasm.In the following months or even years, something similar to a sense of mission gradually piled up in his heart with one thing after another: there are some things that Master may not be able to do, but he It can be done.

That's another story.At that time, the little princess Zhou Pei on the side admired the opponent's tongue even more.This day, Zhou Junwu's matter was temporarily settled. When I returned to Su's house in the afternoon, I heard Xing'er said that several Confucian scholars came to visit in the morning. They were all well-known literati in Jiangning. One of them was It is the guest of the palace, and they invited Ning Yi to attend a literary meeting two days later.This essay meeting is different from the general poetry meeting where young people try to make their mark. The participants are all Confucian scholars with profound knowledge, talking about poetry, articles, and current events.Several people waited for Ning Yi for half a morning, and seeing that he was not there, they left the invitation.

"Don't go."

Ning Yi glanced at the invitation and saw that there were no words like "you must come or kill your whole family", so he threw it aside and left it behind.
