A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"What exactly does this Yan Liben do?" Gu Qing was puzzled, and Li Er said he was a great craftsman.

Wu Mei whispered, "I heard from my old father a long time ago that the three fathers and sons of Yan Liben's family are first-class masters in building houses, painting objects, and carpenters. It is said that because of this Daming Palace, Yan Liben was also appointed as a master craftsman."

"Daming Palace!" Gu Qing sat up, "Daming Palace in Longshouyuan."

"Yeah!" Wu Mei nodded in a low voice, "It's just that the Daming Palace is still under construction, and it's where His Majesty lives for the Supreme Emperor. The power of the people, so the production is very slow."

"Master! Master!" Gu Qing hurriedly got up, "Damn! Talented."

As soon as Wu Mei picked up the tea and Gu Qing ran out, she shook her head helplessly and took a sip of hot tea by herself.

After walking out of the house, Gu Qing hurriedly put on his coat, and asked Fan Jian, "Where is the person, where is Yan Li himself?"

"Just left, only half an hour." Fan Jian said in a low voice.

Gu Qing hastened to catch up, and saw Yan Liben's downcast back from a distance and shouted, "Wait! Young Supervisor Yan, wait!"

Yan Liben turned his head and looked at Gu Qing, "Why do you..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Gu Qing said.

"Didn't you see no visitors today?" Yan Liben looked depressed.

"The servants in the family are ignorant." Gu Qing hurriedly explained.

Yan Liben sighed and turned into a dense fog in the cold air, "Your Majesty asked the old man to discuss with you something about firearms."

"That matter..." Gu Qing said leisurely, "There is no rush, let's take a look around the village first, the folk customs in this village are really good."

Yan Liben: "The folk customs are tough?"

"No! The folk customs are simple." Gu Qing smiled dryly, "The next day I taught the children to build a big water tanker and let Yan Shaojian take care of them."

"Waterwheel? The waterwheel is so beautiful." Yan Liben said, "Let's quickly establish the regulations for the mechanism."

"Let's see what you're talking about first." Gu Qing smiled and pulled Yan Liben towards the huge waterwheel. The waterwheel is no longer moving, and it will be used next year when the farming season is busy.

"This is the first time I have seen such a big waterwheel." Yan Liben said, "This thing was made by the children and you."

"To be precise, it was designed by me. The children did it by hand. The workmanship is a bit rough." Gu Qing smiled.

"It's really rough." Yan Liben looked at the workmanship of the waterwheel with disgust.

"..." Gu Qing was not happy, this guy really dislikes the donkey downhill, will he chat.

Looking at the structure of the waterwheel, Yan Liben was curious about the connection between those bearings. He deduced the operation of the waterwheel in his mind and said, "Four or two strokes of a thousand catties! It's a coincidence."

"That's it!" Gu Qing introduced, "I plan to popularize this practice in the Tang Dynasty, so that the common people will work less."

"En!" Yan Liben nodded, "You are not useless."

Gu Qing's smiling face was stiff and darkened, his reputation in Chang'an was already so bad!Ask the monk to find out who is spreading rumors about him another day, eh!No mercy.

"What are you thinking?" Yan Liben saw Gu Qing's pensive look.

"I didn't think about anything." Gu Qing brought Yan Liben to the edge of the seesaw with a contemptuous smile, "Yan Shaojian, this is a seesaw, and it was also made by children."

"Oh?" Yan Liben looked at the seesaw in surprise, "What is this thing used for?"

"It's for playing." Gu Qing didn't think about it.

Yan Liben said seriously, "We can do more things that are beneficial to the common people, such as waterwheels. As for this kind of seesaw plaything, it doesn't matter."

Chapter 131 Poaching again!Yan Liben ([-])

"Yan Shaojian, in fact, this seesaw is not only for playing, but also for learning." Gu Qing said hastily, "You see, the length is related to the force, this is called a lever."

"Of course my old man understands this!" Yan Liben said, "Now that I've finished reading it, it's time to talk about the new firearms."

"Actually, there is also a bookstore here." Gu Qing took Yan Liben to the small bookstore, and now Kong Yingda had just finished class.

Yan Liben hurriedly saluted: "This junior has met the old master."

"Hehehe..." Kong Yingda smiled and was in a good mood, "You come to this bookstore to teach? There was Li Chunfeng before and you."

"Actually, this junior is not here to teach." Yan Liben whispered, "Your Majesty asked this junior to discuss with Gu Qing about new firearms."

"So that's how it is." Kong Yingda understood in his heart, and he already understood what Gu Qing meant, "This bookstore is very well done, you might as well take a look."

"Yes!" Yan Liben bowed and saluted. Before that, it was just hearsay about Kong Yingda's coming to the bookstore to teach, but he didn't expect it to be true. Then he saw the poem next to the bookstore, and couldn't help reading, "Hide in the small building to become a unified, and let him have a good time." Summer and autumn and winter."

Thinking in his heart, Yan Liben said, "This sentence is a bit light and easy, and the words and sentences are very well arranged, but it is always inappropriate to hang in a place like a bookstore."

"I like it!" Gu Qing didn't care, the bookstore was established by me, the bookstore was built with my money, and it was also the teacher I dug out!

"Forget it." Yan Liben waved his sleeves, "Gu Qing, I have heard of your reputation more than once. When I became Fang Xuanling's student, I knew you. You are a military commander with all your talents, and you are lazy with all your resourcefulness. , You have all the medical skills but you never open a clinic. A good boy is a desperate man who wants money. You have good skills and bad defects. It is true that you are a strange person, a strange person."

"Actually, I'm quite entangled." Gu Qing nodded and said, "Why do some people say good things and belittle me at the same time! Man, what a contradictory creature."

"The old man also saw you on the day His Royal Highness Wei Wang and his daughter got married." Yan Liben turned around and said, "It was just a quick glance that day, but it is really too short to see the truth today. How could such a good skill fall into your hands? alone."

"..."

I really want to beat him up, why do so many people say that, what about Yang Sheng?Where did you go?I want to beat someone!

Yan Liben looked at the strange desks in the bookstore and said, "You keep pushing back and forth about the new firearms, and all this painstakingly taking this old man around is to let the old man come to your bookstore to teach these children to be craftsmen?"

"Don't hide from Yan Shaojian." Gu Qing saluted and said, "I really want Yan Shaojian to come to the bookstore to teach first."

"You are a good friend of the King of Wei. My daughter is married to the King of Wei. If you want the old man to teach the children, why bother?" Yan Liben said painstakingly, "You just say it, you opened the bookstore to benefit the Tang Dynasty Student, just for the sake of my little girl, because His Royal Highness Wei Wang agreed."

"Is that agreed?" Gu Qing was surprised, what about integrity?What about strength of character?

"But I have a rule!" Yan Liben continued, "The skills of our Yan family have always been passed down to the direct line. I can teach the children the most basic things, but after that, I won't teach too much."

As long as people are willing to come, things can be done slowly in the future. If you don’t believe me, you can’t dig out this master’s ability. The old saying is good: it’s better to be happy alone than to be happy together. good."

The wind in winter was bitter, Yan Liben said again, "Now we can talk about the new firearms."

"Okay." Gu Qing and Yan Liben came home, closed the door, and there were only two people left in the room.

Gu Qing said, "Explosives are detonated by burning the wire. This new firearm does not need a wire but triggers the detonation."

"What's the reason?" Yan Liben was puzzled.

Gu Qing also said, "This new firearm is called a land mine. The difficulty lies in its triggering, because there is no fire to detonate, and its triggering is the core."

"Your Majesty told me that the county magistrate should not talk too much with the old man." Yan Liben said, "If the magistrate tells the old man the complete method of making landmines, I am afraid that the old man..."
