Hearing Master Jiang's words, Zhang Yang stopped slightly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lishan technology will not stop here."
The old man's eyes were still on the drawing, nodding his head and saying nothing.
In the third month of construction, Lishan Technical Institute has begun to take shape, and it has begun to recruit talented craftsmen from all walks of life as teachers.
Today a piece of news was sent to Lishan that Mr. Wang Gui is going back to Chang'an.
This old gentleman got seriously ill because he had lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, and his family took him to Chang'an to seek medical treatment.
Zhang Yangzheng and Li Tai were sitting at the entrance of the village, waiting for the old man to arrive, discussing the arrangements for Lishan Technical Institute.
Li Tai took a booklet to record and read: "Cook, civil engineer, textile, math, blacksmith, agriculture...brother-in-law."
"Um?"
"Do you want to recruit this groom too?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Has His Highness the King of Wei recruited experienced grooms from the army?"
Li Tai thought for a moment and then said: "That's okay."
"Our grooms are different from ordinary grooms. The army needs grooms who raise horses and are good grooms who can manage thousands of horses."
Li Tai scratched his head and said, "Such a groom needs to be found at the horse farm in the Hexi Corridor."
While he was talking, a carriage came slowly, and Zhang Yang stood up to greet it.
The carriage came near, and a familiar figure got out of the carriage. The old man, leaning on a cane, got off the carriage and walked slowly.
Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Long time no see, old sir."
Wang Gui looked Zhang Yang up and down, then looked at Li Tai and nodded: "It's been five years, I haven't seen him for a long time."
Li Tai quickly stepped forward to help him, and then asked: "How is your health, Mr. Lao?"
Wang Gui coughed and said again: "My legs and feet are inconvenient."
The last time I saw the old gentleman, he still looked like a fairy, but now I see him again, but he has aged so fast.
Wang Gui added: "I promised to die of old age in Zhongnan Mountain. My family doesn't want me to die in that barren mountain. They also want me to live for two more years."
Zhang Yang took the old man to the hospital and said, "Didn't your old family come with you?"
There was an explosion in the distance, which was another cannon fire. Cheng Yaojin and the others found that if the gunpowder was not enough, they could put a package of stones and blades into the barrel and compact them so that they could hurt people if they exploded.
I saw the old gentleman looking curiously at the entrance of the village, looking for sounds.
Zhang Yang explained: "Lishan made firearms, and your majesty sent troops to try them out."
Wang Gui stroked his beard and said, "Isn't it that your Majesty wants to attack Lishan?"
"The old gentleman is joking. Your Majesty will not attack Lishan."
Seeing that he still had a suspicious look on his face, Zhang Yang led him to the medical center and said, "You don't have to worry about Li Shan."
"Well, is Zhang Gongjin not dead yet?"
"The teacher is still recovering from his illness."
Wang Gui suddenly stopped and shook his head, "I am going to die of old age, how can he still be alive?"
Li Tai followed and said, "Old sir, Lishan is a good place to raise people."
It gave Mr. Wang Gui the confidence to recover from his illness and made him feel that he could get better by recuperating in Lishan Mountain.
Doctor Sun's medicinal book was still not compiled yet. He checked Wang Gui's pulse for a moment and diagnosed: "When you are old, you should not sleep in the open air. Your body is no longer as good as young people. Living in the mountains and forests is too cold. Let's rest for half a month and then take a look."
After giving a very vague diagnosis, Doctor Sun could not immediately confirm the old man's illness.
It is necessary to rest in Lishan for a period of time and slowly observe the condition.
Li Tai arranged a place for the old gentleman to live.
Zhang Yang also listened to the old gentleman talking about what happened to the family in recent days.
Li Zhengzao's family was already in ruins. After Zhaojun Li helped him pay off his debts, his vitality was also severely damaged.
And he was also kicked out by the Li family of Zhaojun, and now he can only live in Tongguan.
Scholars often make trouble in the Taiyuan area. It seems that Pei Xuanji's work has made new progress. Nowadays, more and more people are rebelling against the aristocratic family.
Wang Gui added: "It is the family's internal self-care that makes Your Majesty's Western Expedition go so smoothly. Otherwise, such a militancy would not be so smooth."
Zhang Yang asked: "Thank you, old man, for telling me this."
Wang Gui leaned on his crutch and said: "It doesn't matter, even if I don't tell you, you will know these things sooner or later."
Walking to the door of the teacher's house, Zhang Gongjin was talking to Ouyang Xun.
As if meeting an old friend whom he had not seen for many years, Zhang Gongjin politely gave Wang Gui another wheelchair at home.
As a result, there is one more person in a wheelchair in the village.
It's better to be in a wheelchair than to be bedridden.
Zhang Yang returned to the mountain and continued to work on the primer device. Outside the workshop were the discs and parts of three large carts.
Xiao Qingqing felt her scalp numb just by looking at it. She whispered: "Daddy, can you finish so many things?"
Zhang Yang put on his cloth gloves and apron, chamfered, tapped, and assembled the parts, and then said to his daughter: "It's done."
Li Yue placed a bowl of noodles on the table outside the workshop and ordered: "Eat it while it's hot."
Zhang Yang nodded and his hands were still busy with the things at hand. Some parts that were too large or too small had to be picked out, and some that could not be assembled had to be taken back and reworked.
I picked and polished each one very carefully.
Xiao Qingqing held her mother's hand and asked, "There are so many things that Daddy can't finish."
Li Yue said to her: "Do you know what your father's most powerful skill is?"
"Huh? What is it?"
"Your father built our home brick by brick. It took him three years to build our home. Your father knows exactly where the bricks are weak and where the tiles are leaking. In this world,
Some things are too daunting for others and they can only give up."
Li Yue hugged her and whispered: "Your father can do things that others can't do. He can always persevere step by step."
"Yeah?"
"Yes." Li Yue arranged her daughter's hair and said, "Your father always has such patience. He never gets anxious and gets impatient. He can complete any task little by little, no matter how difficult or tiring it is."
In the evening, Xiao Qingqing went to look outside the workshop and saw that the noodles in the bowl in front of the door had been finished.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Dad actually finished the parts for two cars in one day, and there is still one car with parts left that can be completed tomorrow.
"Daddy, that's amazing!" Xiao Qingqing said with a wink.
Zhang Yang smiled when he saw this and said, "Why is daddy so awesome?"
Her expression was playful and somewhat proud, "If it had been anyone else, I would have given up long ago. That's what my mother said."
"What's so great about this."
"It's just awesome."
Zhang Yang cleaned up the workshop and closed the door. The busy day was over. He smiled and said, "Patience is also a skill."
She smiled playfully, as if she had learned something again, "It took Daddy three years to build his new home. Those three years must have been much harder than now."
"It's only three years. There are some things in this world that take decades or even a lifetime. Things like your father's are nothing."
In June of the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Wang Gui moved from Zhongnan Mountain to Lishan Mountain. His Majesty was also very concerned about his condition and specially sent Lu Zhaolin from the Imperial Medical Office to inquire.
Lu Zhaolin hated Lishan very much. The Imperial Medical Office was short of manpower, and Lishan had "credit" for it.
It's because Lishan has been recruiting doctors, and all the experienced and capable doctors who can go to Lishan have gone there. What's more, with Dr. Sun sitting in charge, doctors all over the world are flocking to it.
The medical center in Lishan is very large and can accommodate hundreds of patients and provide them with nursing care.
More and more people are going to Lishan for medical treatment.
Li Tai saw Lu Zhaolin coming with a dark face, consulting Mr. Wang Gui and then leaving with a dark face, so he asked, "Doctor Lu seems to have a grudge against Lishan."
Lu Zhaolin glanced at the words and quickly looked away, "That Zhang Yang is on the mountain now."
"My brother-in-law hasn't left the mountain for a long time since he took Mr. Wang to Lishan."
"Mr. Wang Gui's illness has been reviewed by the official. He needs to be nursed back to health in time. The wind and cold have invaded, and the heart and lungs have been damaged. The inconvenience in the legs and feet is caused by the cold air entering the body. Medicine and stones are no longer useful. Like Zou Guogong, the only option is to nurse him back to health."
Li Tai nodded, "Doctor Sun has already said it."
Lu Zhaolin took another look at the medical clinic, which was located outside Lishan Village. It was very lively with people coming and going.
Li Tai lamented, "Since my brother-in-law built this medical center, he has been losing money every year. At the best time, the income and output were flat. In the past two years, we have suffered losses one after another. Even so, my brother-in-law still insisted on running this medical center.
"
Lu Zhaolin was not interested in these matters and said again: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I want to inform Your Majesty of the old gentleman's condition, so I will take my leave first."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Li Tai followed up and took out a pamphlet and handed it to him, "Please ask Dr. Lu to take a look at it."
Lu Zhaolin frowned and said, "What is this?"
Li Tai explained: "This is the condition for recruiting teachers in Lishan. The monthly salary is from one thousand yuan to one hundred yuan, depending on the ability. If you are interested, you can come to Lishan to teach people medical skills."
"You want to recruit people again? How can you, Lishan, satisfy you?"
Li Tai nodded and said: "Don't get me wrong. In fact, you can continue to serve as the medical director of the imperial court, or you can also be the teacher of Lishan. We at Lishan will not disturb your official position in the imperial court, and you can take your monthly salary."
"You still want masons? You also want cooks?"
Li Tai smiled and said: "Our Lishan Technical Institute is inclusive of all things, teaching people survival skills and passing them on to future generations. Maybe you don't bother to be with cooks or masons. Although our Lishan Technical Institute has not yet been built, we have always upheld all the principles."
All professional skills are treated equally.”
Lu Zhaolin took another look and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei has graciously accepted the offer, but I can't let go of the matters in the palace."
"It doesn't matter, you can think about it first, or we can wait."
Lu Zhaolin just left, and Li Tai stood in front of the village to watch him off.
"Just let him leave like that?"
Cheng Chumo's voice came from behind, and Li Tai nodded and said, "That's enough."
"People are just leaving, and there is no way to recruit them." Cheng Chumo emphasized: "Up to now, there is not a single teacher in this technical institute."
Li Tai looked calm and calm, "If you stay silent, what you learn will always be taught to those you recognize, or to your disciples and children."
Cheng Chumo nodded and said: "That's natural. Who would teach his skills to a group of people he has never met before."
Li Tai sighed: "This is why so many skills and techniques have been lost since the Qin Dynasty."
He took out a bronze mirror and whispered: "So far, my brother-in-law and I have not figured out how this bronze mirror reflects the pattern on the back. I have searched through the classics and cannot find out how it was cast.
method."
Cheng Chumo emphasized again: "Lishan Institute of Technology still doesn't have a formal master."
Li Tai nodded and said: "There will be. Since his father restructured the Wei Mansion into Zhe Chong Mansion, only men who are twenty years old or older can join the army. But what are the young people aged between thirteen and fifteen or sixteen doing now? Is it possible?
Are they going to remain uneducated?"
Cheng Chumo scratched his messy hair, not understanding the meaning.
Li Tai added: "It is precisely because there are so many people who need to learn skills. As long as there is enough demand, the technical institute will definitely be able to prosper, so that those children will not become ruffians and thieves in the streets. Let them
Being able to learn how to make a living is not only the goal of Lishan Institute of Technology, it will also become the goal of many people."
"Chu Mo, do you think this king is right?"
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but shake his head, scratching the beard on his chin, becoming more and more distressed.
There is a row of saplings planted along the banks of the Weishui River. These saplings start from Lishan Mountain and go to the east and west.
Shangguan Yi passed by with a worried look on his face, and was stopped by Cheng Chumo, "Brother Shangguan, come over and have a drink!"
"That's fine, that's fine."
Shangguan Yi nodded and did not refuse.
Everyone came to Lishan together from Chang'an City, and now Shangguan Yi is still the military advisor of the Braised Pork Gang.
The restaurant was very lively. After Cheng Chumo recruited a few servants, his wife could wait for the birth of her child with peace of mind.
As the wine was poured into the bowl, Cheng Chu said silently: "If I hadn't been pregnant with a child, the mother-in-law at home wouldn't want a certain family to hire more servants to do the work."
The current wine shop is one acre larger than before.
Cheng Chumo added: "There is also a wine shop on the official road west of Lishan Mountain. A certain family wanted to buy that shop as well, but that guy Zhang Yang refused to agree."
Li Tai nodded clearly and said: "Chu Mo is talking about the earliest wine shop?"
Cheng Chumo nodded heavily and poured another drink for Shangguan Yi.
Li Tai explained: "That wine shop is where my brother-in-law started his business. He had a promise with an old friend from back then. It is still vacant, waiting for the old friend to return."
"Which old friend?"
Li Tai smiled and said: "Brother Chu Mo didn't know something. My brother-in-law didn't have it easy back then. I won't talk about the past. Let's drink."
The three of them touched their wine bowls and downed the wine together, still unsatisfied.
I learned this way of drinking from Zhang Yang. Once you get used to it, you will find this way of touching the wine bowl very interesting, and you can also feel the human connection. Everyone is already familiar with the way.
It's just that Zhang Yang didn't drink here, which made the three of them feel that the wine was lacking some flavor.
During this period of time, Zhang Yang seemed to be in seclusion, not asking about things at the foot of the mountain, and not going down the mountain unless necessary.
Cheng Chumo frowned and said, "Is that the one named He?"
Li Tai nodded and said, "I said I went to Lingnan, but I haven't come back yet."
