North and South groceries

Since Luo used this test question, many gentlemen in Chang'an City have been arguing endlessly about the temperature.

Even women and ladies like to discuss this topic when they get together. After all, there is no threshold for this topic. Whether it is a lot of reading or a little reading, they can say a word or two.

Among them, the most debated one is the body temperature. Luo Yong said that the human body temperature is about 36 degrees.

Later, an old Taoist went to Zhongnan Mountain to visit Sun Simiao. When the two met, the old Taoist told Sun Simiao the topic that everyone in Chang'an City was discussing in the past few days, and asked his opinion on how much the human body should be. Spend?

As soon as Sun Simiao heard this question, he knew that the person who wrote the question must be Luo Yong, but he didn't say anything. He just said to his old friend: "In my opinion, it's about 36 degrees."

When the old man heard it, it was such a coincidence that Luo Yong also said 36 degrees, and you also said 36 degrees. Didn’t you have heard others talk about this topic before?

Sun Simiao said that he was also guessing, and that this body temperature is the same as that of blood pressure, and there should be means to measure it, but there is no such device at present.

After the old man returned to Chang'an City, he told others about this matter.

When everyone heard it, Sun Simiao also said that the body temperature of the human body is about 36 degrees.

So just like that, 36 degrees became the standard answer.

Luo Yong: ...

It is said that Luo Yong has been back to Beijing for more than half a year, during which he also went to Zhongnan Mountain once, but he went with the aunt Wulang and his wife, just to thank Sun Simiao for seeing the doctor and allowing them to give birth to Fei Er smoothly.

Sun Simiao was very happy to see Luo Yong came to visit him, and asked his disciples to prepare a sumptuous meal for them, and arranged the accommodation properly.

During the two days when they lived in Zhongnan Mountain, Dr. Sun Gaoyi often wanted to talk to Luo Yong, and at night he had to hold candles to talk at night. Luo Yong and his aunt Wulang lived in two adjacent rooms, and the aunt did not know Luo Yong. How long does it take to come back to sleep.

On the day of his departure, he saw his yellow face, dark circles around his eyes, yawning non-stop along the way, and he fell asleep with his head tilted after sitting in the car for a short time. After returning home, Then he never mentioned the matter of going to Mount Zhongnan again, even if Sun Simiao's disciples invited him.

Although the aunt felt sorry for Luo Yong, sometimes she couldn't help saying a few words to him: "Discussing knowledge with Dr. Sun Gao is a good thing that many people can't wait for. It's good for you, and you are too tired."

Luo Yong also knew that the aunt was distressed by those knowledge, but she obviously didn't know how terrible those medical textbooks were.

Recently, because of Luo Yong's new paper, some people in Chang'an City said that Luo Yong might be a genius.

Luo Yong is a matter of his own knowledge. In his previous life, he often heard that there were geniuses with high or high IQs. Presumably at this time in the early Tang Dynasty, there should have been some geniuses with extremely high IQs. As for Luo Yong Himself, he was not part of that group.

However, this incident reminded Luo Yong. Although there are geniuses in this era, there is no way to test IQ, and those people with high IQ scattered among the people are a huge treasure that has not been discovered. .

If we talk about where to train these talents after they are discovered, for Luo Yong at present, it is naturally the Luo's Machine Workshop.

When Luo's Machine Workshop first opened, it recruited a total of more than 300 people and divided them into six classes. In the following months, more people were recruited one after another, and now there are seven classes.

Among the seven classes, Class A is the one with the best pay and the most attention. The working hours of this class are shorter than those of other classes. Monthly wages are paid, not less than other classes, and if you do well in the exam, the rewards are also quite generous.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the people in this class A have more opportunities to get in touch with some core engineering core technologies in the machine workshop.

Earlier, when a class A woman participated in the production of spinning machines, she put forward an idea, and with the support of the team leader, together with several companions, a few men and women, made a sample.

The craftsmanship of these young people is still somewhat lacking, and the equipment they make is not mature enough to be very useful.

However, the equipment they made, after several adjustments and improvements by experienced craftsmen, can indeed better solve the uniformity of the blended spinning of white jacquard and cashmere, which is a valuable application. technology into actual production.

Soon, this technology was applied to the manufacture of a batch of spinning machines in the face towel workshop. The personnel, the personnel who were perfected in the later period, and the relevant teachers and managers each received a bonus.

The woman who first proposed this idea got the most money, a total of twelve copper coins, and several stewards from the machine workshop sent this sum of money to her home.

The copper coins were quite heavy, so the stewards put them in small wisteria baskets, with two copper coins in each basket, and six baskets with twelve coins, which was exactly three loads. They also covered the baskets with red silk cloth, and a group of people Happy to give money to people in the past.

The woman's aunt saw that someone came to the door with a red burden, at first she thought it was someone coming to give the dowry, she was still thinking in her heart, could it be that Mrs. Weng accepted which family, why didn't she know?

After people entered the courtyard, after asking, they found out that their aunt had made new equipment in the Luo's Machine Workshop, and they had given them bonuses.

At this time, the old man in the house also came out. Hearing these words, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

He hurriedly sent his grandson to call the aunt, Aye, back, and asked the daughters-in-law to bring tea, and took the cakes bought on the two days of the Ghost Festival from his house to entertain the guests.

Neighbors on the left and right also came to watch the excitement. Looking at the loads of things in the yard, they also asked if it was a betrothal gift. look like.

"Where is the betrothal gift? It was sent by the machine workshop." One of the women who came over said.

"Then the Roche Machine Workshop?"

"Exactly."

"Why did Luo's Machine Workshop send these gifts with the farmer?"

"It's not a gift, it's a bonus. Don't look at these small baskets. There are twelve copper coins in these baskets."

"Twelve sticks!"

"really?"

"Naturally not false."

"What did the little lady of the Zhuang family do in that machine workshop? She wanted to send her twelve copper coins? What about her, why didn't she come back?"

"The people in Class A are still in class at this time, and they will come back later."

When it was said that these baskets contained twelve coins, the neighbors sighed and sighed, and some of them who were impolite stretched out their hands to lift the red silk cloth on the baskets.

Slightly opened a corner, craned his neck to look inside, and there were indeed two copper coins!

"It really is two copper coins!"

"These three loads are a total of twelve strings!"

"So much money?"

"I didn't expect that the old lady of the dealer is also a rich man."

"This is a full twelve pennies! It's really amazing!"

"..."

When Mrs. Zhuang's father came back from outside, he saw that his yard was crowded with people. Seeing his return, everyone showed envious expressions on their faces.

At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, copper coins were still very valuable. In addition, the market economy was not so prosperous in this era, and it was not easy to earn money. Usually, working hard with others, you can earn only one to two hundred, two to three hundred cash a month.

Mrs. Zhuang's father is a Yalang, and he is quite capable. He is also very diligent in earning money to support the family. He breaks his legs and wears his lips every day. After one month, it is not bad to have five or six hundred cash. When you are lucky, you have made more than usual money, which is rare.

At this time, I learned that my parents and daughter had done a big job in that Luo's machine workshop, and now they came back with him earning a full twelve copper coins, so happy at that time!

Later on, Mrs. Zhuang finished her most important class of the day and came back from the machine workshop.

Mother Ye wished to hold her up as a baby, and the neighbors praised her for being promising, and the one who asked her whether the Luo's machine workshop was still recruiting, whether it was difficult for them to get into Class A .

Mrs. Zhuang only stayed at home for one night. Early the next morning, after eating the meal cooked by Auntie and her, she bid farewell to Wengpo, Aye, uncles and aunts, and hurried back to the machine workshop for class.

In the Luo's Machine Workshop, they have to work and study every day, and their class A's studies are particularly heavy. When life becomes busy, the joyful mood before is quickly diluted.

After this incident, everyone seemed to be holding back their energy, the competition became more intense, and it became more difficult to get into Class A. Those who used to be in Class A, if they were too lax, would easily be squeezed out by others go.

In addition to studying, everyone is more active in understanding and researching those equipment. From time to time, people will put forward some ideas and opinions of their own, and some of them are quite good, but there is no second invention that can get a bonus. If this situation continues to develop, it should be a matter of time.

But in Mrs. Zhuang's house, her family has been living in the glory she brought. In their workshop, everyone knows that their village has produced a very promising woman.

Mrs. Zhuang's father was a well-spoken Yalang, and at this time, she wanted to spread this matter to every corner of Chang'an City. The colleagues in the industry also knew that he had a promising daughter. Speaking of it, there was no envy.

After the news spread, many people wanted to enter Luo's Machine Workshop, and there were too many monks, so the conditions for Luo's Machine Workshop's income were naturally higher.

I heard people say that anyone who wants to enter their workshop now has to pass an exam. The exam questions are also very weird, and they don’t test school talent. There are many patterns, which are square and triangular, hollow and solid Yes, but there are also some characters, and someone will read the questions on the spot, so it doesn't matter if you don't know the characters.

Earlier, there was a woman in her 40s and [-]s. She was an ordinary weaver in Chang’an City. She also went to the machine workshop to take the exam. I heard that she got all the papers right. Later, she added another exam. One question is wrong, and the others are all right.

I heard that she was hired on the spot, and was also assigned to Class A. The next day, she changed into the uniform of Luo's Machine Workshop, and studied with those young ladies. It is also a miracle.
