Be a master through ancient times

After dinner, Chu Ci bid farewell to Chu's family and stopped a carriage to go to the Ministry of Industry.

He didn't go to the Ministry of Industry to discuss the matter of the cultural park. The Ministry of Household Affairs came to discuss this matter. What he wanted to ask was the blackboard and chalk.

These two things, in the absence of e-learning, have always occupied the main front of the classroom.Of course, even if electronic teaching becomes popular later, the role of blackboard and chalk is still huge.

When Chu Ci was a teacher in high school, they would organize a basic skills competition every semester, that is, "three strokes and one story". These three strokes are naturally brushes, pens and chalk.Chu Ci has always been in the top five positions in the school. The reason why he is not the first is because Chu Ci loses points for chalk writing every time.

But his chalk writing is only compared to the hidden dragons and crouching tiger teachers in their school. When he puts his blackboard writing outside for competitions, everyone will rush to take pictures and take it back to appreciate.

Chu Ci was not well-known before and had no acquaintances in the Ministry of Industry, so he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​making blackboards and chalks, thinking about getting used to it for a while.

But now his reputation has been established, and he has an acquaintance with Kou Jing's brother in the Ministry of Industry, so Chu Ci decided to pay a visit to see if they could make the blackboard and chalk.

The carriage stopped near the Ministry of Industry, and after Chu Ci paid the bill, he stepped forward a few steps to the entrance of the Ministry of Industry.As soon as he was about to speak, the gatekeeper shouted excitedly: "Are you that Chu Siye? You also came to see the villain at the Confucius Festival in the Cultural Park last time."

"Yes, my official is Chuci, Siye of the Imperial College. This time I came to the door to find a person named Kou Xun. Please come in and let me know."

"Are you here to find Kou Sishe?" The little brother heard him say his name, and then confirmed it with him again.

"Yes." There are not many people with the surname Kou, and there are very few people with the same name, so even if Chu Ci doesn't know his position, he can be sure.

"Then you come in first and have a meeting, and the villain will be notified." The concierge summoned an errand runner and asked him to ask Kou Xun for advice.

After Chu Ci sat down, the concierge took out a notebook and a pen, and embarrassedly asked Chu Ci to register his name.Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, he took the door and opened a few pages, only to find that every page was filled with names of people, and some of them appeared more than once.

"This is?" Chu Ci was a little confused, so when he went to other yamen, it seemed that he didn't need to register this thing.

"This is what our servant ordered. Anyone who joins the labor department must register the time and position to avoid misunderstanding." The porter explained.

Chu Ci thought about it, probably because there is a department in the Ministry of Industry who invented it?Those things were piled up scatteredly. If the things inside were stolen by others, it would be a big trouble. That's why they came up with this trick. When there are problems, they can find out one by one.

Although the household department does not need to register, there are cabinets in their offices, and the account books are locked when people leave, so they are not afraid of others walking along.

Naturally, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment are not afraid, they have nothing, and the Ministry of Rites has nothing but the sacrificial supplies, and generally no one will touch these, for fear of offending the gods.

After thinking it over, Chuci signed his position and name.The concierge was always a little nervous, but he was relieved to see that he was willing to cooperate.

This Chu Siye is said to be a celebrity in front of the Holy One. If he offends Chu Siye, the consequences may be disastrous!

After a while, Kou Xun brought the errand runner over in person.

"Why is Chu Siye here? Oh, are you here to ask about your carriage? It's already finished, and it's parked inside. How can I send someone to deliver it to you?" Kou Xun didn't wear any clothes. Instead of an official uniform, he was wearing a gray blouse. The whole person looked gray, no wonder everyone called the person from the Ministry of Industry a craftsman.However, this is exactly the performance of their dedication.

"There is a Lao Kou Division, but I came here today, not for the frame, but for something else."

"Oh? Really? Then Chu Siye, go in and talk with me." Kou Xun saw that he would not be able to speak clearly for a while, so he led the way, and Chu Ci followed behind.

After walking for a while, Kou Xun stopped in front of a courtyard.Chu Ci looked up and found the words "Manufacturing Division" written on it.

Seeing him looking at the plaque above, Kou Xun explained: "This manufacturing department was newly established in the past two years, and the Ministry of Industry has never been taken seriously, so not many people know about it."

Chu Ci nodded, and he felt strange, where did the department set up this position, it turned out to be a new department later.

Kou Xun pushed open the door and walked in. Chu Ci found that there were many people inside, but most of them were busy with their own affairs with their heads down. They only raised their heads slightly to see people, and then lowered their heads to work again.

"Everyone who joined this manufacturing department has some eccentricities, and everyone doesn't like to communicate with others. Don't be surprised by Chu Siye."

Chu Ci smiled and shook his head to express that he didn't mind, then walked in behind him.As soon as Chu Ci stepped through the door, he stepped on something.After he picked it up and looked at it, he found that it was a part, which seemed to be used as a mechanism.

Kou Xun took the thing, looked at the vertical lines engraved on it, and immediately called an official to take it back.

The official came over, took a look in his hand, and suddenly showed a sudden understanding expression, and then rushed towards the place where he just came, as if he had discovered something.

This group of people should be regarded as inventors in ancient times, and it is normal to have some eccentricities, but the probability is too high, the whole yard is full of such people, Chu Ci thought.

Maybe it was because of his emotions, Kou Xun suddenly said: "I personally selected these people, only they can concentrate on this, instead of thinking about getting promoted and getting rich all day long, without any intention of studying."

Chu Ci looked up at him, and found Kou Xun sneered with one corner of his mouth curled up.He felt that Kou Xun's words seemed a bit hidden, but now is not the time to listen to stories.

"Kou Sishe, today I came here for two things."

"But it doesn't matter."

"One is a blackboard, which is a black wooden board, on which you can write with a pen. The other is chalk, which is used to write on the blackboard for students to see, and can be erased after reading."

"Blackboard? Chalk? A black board is easy to make, but what is this chalk? How is it different from a writing brush? Also, if you want to write, how can you use a black board? Isn't a white board better?"

A series of questions made Chu Ci a little powerless, but what Kou Xun raised was indeed reasonable.

There was no way, Chu Ci had to explain to him from the beginning why it was not a whiteboard but a blackboard, why chalk was used instead of a brush, and what exactly chalk was.

Chu Ci was so dry that he could explain these two things clearly.He felt a little regretful, he knew that he was going to innovate, why didn't he study science?If he had studied science, he would have been able to invent these things by himself, so he didn't need to expend so much effort to explain them.

Kou Xun refreshed his understanding of Chu Ci, in his mind, Chu Ci should be that kind of slightly pedantic bookworm.Unexpectedly, after contacting him twice, he found that Chu Ci was a humorous, knowledgeable, and capable young man.No wonder Ah Jing is obsessed with him!

Kou Xun said: "Don't worry, Chu Siye, I will study the blackboard and chalk carefully in the next few days. Once there is any progress, I will send someone to inform you immediately."

Chu Ci nodded, and then said: "There is Lao Kou Si who set it up. If this thing is produced, it will be a merit. When it is popularized, the Holy One will definitely give you a great credit."

Kou Xun smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter whether it's meritorious or not, I just like these things."

"Kou Siset's open-mindedness is really admirable. It's getting late today, and Chu should go back. I'll come back to bother you when I have time."

"Okay, I'll send you the carriage with two horses." Kou Xun summoned servants and asked him to find someone to drive the carriage, and he must send Chu Ci back to the Imperial Prison safely.

Chu Ci smiled, said goodbye to him, and followed the servants to wait outside.

After a while, someone drove a carriage over.The carriage looks unchanged from the outside, that is, a canopy-like thing has been made on the roof. This thing is easy to store and store, and it is very convenient to use.

Chu Ci got into the carriage and sat down, and the groom let the horse run forward with a sound of driving.Chu Ci was surprised to find that the shockproof effect of this carriage was better than that of Kou Xun's carriage last time.Sure enough, they are familiar with each other once, and I don't know if Kou Xun has an idea to mass-produce this carriage, which should make a lot of money.

……

When Chu Ci returned to the Imperial College, it was already time to finish school.The students walked out of the teaching dormitory in twos and threes, and greeted Chu Ci politely when they saw Chu Ci.

Chu Ci nodded in response, and stood in the courtyard for a while. Before he went to the palace this morning, he had already called Gu Jiancheng over, and asked him to help Fu Mingan with the school admission procedures later, and then assign him to Zhu Feng's class. .

After a while, Zhu Feng walked over with the two people's things in his hands. He saw Chu Ci and hurriedly said hello to Chu Ci. Fu Mingan followed Zhu Feng with his head down, looking as if he had been exposed to the sun. Like a wilted little flower, very spiritless.Chu Ci responded with a smile, then bent down and asked, "Ming An, are you getting used to it after this day?"

Fu Mingan's expression was already a little downcast, but when Chu Ci asked, he became even more sad: "Sir, I seem to be a little behind."

"What exactly is it that you can't keep up with?" If it is only about the main business, Fu Ming'an should not understand it.

"Jiuzhang and I lost the game of chess that I learned today..." Fu Mingan's eyes were red. When he was at home, everyone praised him for being smart. When he went to the Meng Children's House, everyone said he was smart, but they were all lying to him. of.

Seeing that Chu Ci didn't speak, Fu Mingan immediately felt that the husband must regret it. They haven't held the apprentice acceptance ceremony yet. He is so stupid that the husband will definitely not want him.

Just when Fu Mingan's tears were about to burst out of his eyes, a warm hand was placed on his head and patted gently, and his master said in a smiling tone: "What are you afraid of, as long as you devote yourself to learning, you will always be happy." There is a day to win. From today onwards, you will come to your husband’s residence every day after school, and ask him to teach you a few tricks. My disciple of Chuci, how can you give up so easily?”

Fu Mingan had a sore nose, and shed a few tears. He wiped it away with his hands, looked up at Chu Ci, and said seriously, "Sir, I must study hard!"

Chu Ci laughed again, the child is really easy to coax, as expected of him!
