Standing solemnly in the hall, watching the people leaving, he squinted his eyes thoughtfully. Jiang Yun'ou, the teacher who had been following him for many years, came up and whispered: "Master, why are you so angry today? Then Wu
Chunlai belongs to Prime Minister Lu, so why offend him."
Yan Zhengzhen glanced at Master and said in a deep voice: "Master Jiang, have I told you about Wu Chunlai?"
Mr. Jiang smiled and said: "You didn't say it, but I know it. One day, Mr. Fang Shanzhang came to the government office to have a drink with the master. The old man was sitting next to him. Mr. Fang Shanzhang told those past events, so of course I knew some of the original story.
.Are you helping Mr. Fang vent his anger today?"
Yan solemnly stroked his beard and said: "Exactly, when I learned that Master Wu was here, I had already thought about giving him some color. I hate these people the most in my life, and the ungrateful people are the most shameful. I hate this kind of people now.
Still holding a high position is really a shame for our great Zhou Dynasty. If even such a morally corrupt and ungrateful person can be used, what is the bottom line? I don't know what the Holy Spirit is thinking in his heart. What's the use of such a person's talent and learning?
I am not entirely angry for Fang Dunru, I am even more angry that this kind of person can still live in the temple like a fish in water, which fully shows how far I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have reached."
"I understand. I have been with you for so many years. How can I not understand? But why should I reprimand Zhang Tongpan, Shen Prefect, Liu Prefecture and the others? Your Excellency will soon go to the capital to take up a post, so why make too many enemies? Zhang Tongpan's brother is the third division commander.
Envoy, you have offended Wu Chunlai and Prime Minister Ji, so why bother?"
"I don't care who I offend. Zhang Yi's flattering attitude is disgusting and a complete villain. Shen Fang and Liu Sheng are just fine. They had nothing to do with them, but they just followed Wu Chunlai to hang out.
Together. Birds of a feather flock together, and they hang out with Wu Chunlai. They are not people I seriously think highly of, so they are simply offended and thrown down together."
Master Jiang nodded slightly and sighed softly: "My lord, the toughest things are easy to break. I have been with you for many years and know that you have countless plans in your heart and want to show off your grand plans to repay your defeat. But sometimes you can't be too tough."
If you serve as an official in a local area, you may not see much. But if you serve as an official in the capital, I am worried that it will be detrimental to you."
Yan Zhengsun frowned and thought for a while and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but if I am smooth and worldly, am I still Yan Zhengsun? Just like Fang Dunru, if he can get sand in his eyes, he can still use it in Songshan Academy
Are you going to be the leader of a mountain? Some things cannot be changed. Once you change, you will lose yourself."
Master Jiang was stunned and speechless. He sighed softly and said nothing more.
…
On the West Lake outside Yongjinmen, Lin Jue's test of the new stage went smoothly. With bursts of cheers, several basic functions required by Lin Jue on the water floating platform have been tested. In fact, it is not complicated.
, Lin Jue only needs the stage to have rotating, lifting, opening and closing and some other functions. It sounds difficult, but in fact, the most difficult thing to achieve these functions is not how to do it, but how to integrate these functions.
Together, they operate without interfering with each other.
Fortunately, the Jiangnan Grand Theater has undergone many stage renovations, and now the stage of the Grand Theater has the function of rotating and lifting. So for Lin Jue, these two items are not very difficult. The difficulty is that adding
After opening and closing and some special functions of the stage, it is not a simple increase or decrease, but the integration of the entire axis system increases the difficulty of the geometric series. To realize each function without interfering with other functions, this is
hardest.
For example, for the opening and closing function of the stage, what Lin Jue requires is that the middle of the stage slides to both sides when necessary, exposing the lake under the floating platform in the middle of the stage, forming a pool in the center of the stage. This is not difficult. But there is a problem with the middle of the stage.
It is quite difficult to integrate the lifting function.
Because of this, Lin Jue spent a whole night designing these things. Fortunately, Lin Jue was quite interested in mechanical things, and his previous knowledge was not completely forgotten due to time travel and rebirth. With his background as a science student,
He still successfully realized these functions. Of course, all the arrangements were not the most perfect plan, but what Lin Jue wanted to do was not to make precise instruments, but just to be able to realize the functions.
Although the control system's crankshafts had to be installed at the four corners of the stage, and manpower had to be used to perform the functions of the stage, the basic functions that Lin Jue wanted were met. Lin Jue wanted to hold a remote control and press the buttons himself.
The functions of the stage can be controlled by pressing buttons, but this is obviously a luxury.
After the test was completed, the craftsmen were also very happy. They had won five times their wages. Of course, everyone was very happy. And more importantly, they saw that under Lin Jue's instructions, the stage they built with their own hands actually achieved various functions.
Various functions, as if they were alive, gave them a sense of accomplishment. You know, when Lin Jue explained the use of various crankshaft functions yesterday, many people thought Mr. Lin was crazy. How could he use it?
Under the control of the machine shaft, the stage can be lifted, opened, closed, and flipped freely, which is definitely something they have never thought of. Now that the facts are in front of them, they are full of admiration for Lin Jue.
The little princess was also happy from ear to ear. Faced with everything she just witnessed, she also felt incredible. She felt that Lin Jue was simply a genius, and it was hard to tell how many abilities he had. Thinking back to Lin Jue's past
The little princess was full of curiosity about the strange sun, moon and stars that she had been told about, the talking boxes, the thousand-mile sound transmission, the carriages that could move without human power, and so on.
"I'm full of expectations for tonight's game. If nothing else, this stage will make everyone stunned. Lin Lang, I feel that we will definitely win tonight." The little princess said.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Why are you so confident all of a sudden? You changed too quickly. The reason why I put so much effort into doing this is just external factors. In fact, these can only add points, but they have no decisive effect.
The deciding factor also lies in the contestants themselves and their talents.”
Guo Caiwei nodded and said: "I understand, but I just feel that I want to win for no reason."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "That is the most terrifying sixth sense for women. There is still a lot of things to do. The stage has just taken shape. There are still many things to install, debug, and decorate. We still have to let people go.
I’m looking forward to Chu Xiangxiang and the others coming to the stage. There are so many things going on, time is getting tighter and tighter, we have to hurry up.”
From noon to late afternoon, various things brought from the city were transported to the lake one by one. The floating platforms of Jiangning Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion had long been completed, but the lake near the stage of Hangzhou Mansion
People were coming and going, and boats were constantly shuttling. What puzzled the onlookers even more was that the entire stage was covered with black curtains on all sides, leaving only a few entrances at the four corners for people and materials to enter and exit.
From time to time, huge cheers and applause came from within the curtain, and the light inside also became brighter and darker for some time, and no one knew what was going on.
Some people wanted to sneak closer to inquire, but the guards of the palace stopped them on the lake and did not allow them to get close at all. It made it mysterious.
As the sun sets little by little, the venues on the lakeshore have already been cleared, and at this time, the people can't wait to enter. In order to occupy a good position, the people have been lining up in the square inside Yongjinmen City Gate since the afternoon.
A long queue formed. They started to enter the venue at the end of the day, and by three o'clock in the afternoon, the open space between the lake shore and the city wall was already crowded with people, and it was packed to the brim.
Just like previous oiran competitions, this moment is the happiest time for the vendors. The vendors selling drinks, snacks, benches and bamboo mats are very happy because on this night, they will earn as much money as they can earn in a month.
So don’t miss it. Compared with previous years, there is an extra best-selling product this year, which is an extremely transparent glass piece embedded in a bamboo tube. It is said that a teenager in Nancheng, Hangzhou accidentally discovered that this kind of lens can magnify
Distant scenery.
Although it is of no use in daily life, it is perfect to use it at this moment. After all, many people can only watch the oiran competition every year. After all, they are too far away to see the faces of the people on the stage.
Afterwards, I could only envy the people nearby who were talking about my expressions and movements. But with this small bamboo tube telescope, I can actually see the stage a hundred steps away clearly. If the effect is good, I can even see the stage.
tiny details on.
The young man's discovery made his father, who was shrewd and good at seizing business opportunities, overjoyed. The whole family worked together for a month, spending only eight taels of silver in the family, making more than 500 telescopes. The result was that
Within two hours, all 100 coins each were sold out. I got fifty taels of silver and made five times the profit. And many people were clamoring to buy it, but unfortunately it was out of stock. The young man who never expected that it would be so popular
The father stomped his feet and regretted it. If he had known that, if he had known this, the pawn seller would have made 800 more thousand children, then one night would have been enough to make a fortune. His wife was also very regretful and scolded beside her.
You bastard deserves to be poor all your life, but the opportunity God gave you to make a fortune was wasted.
As the evening gradually approaches and the sun sets slowly, the banks of the West Lake become bustling and noisy. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the opening of the Oiran Competition. They chat with each other and stretch their necks to watch the movements on the lake.
.But soon, someone discovered something was wrong.
"What's going on? The floating stages in Jiangning Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion have been beautifully decorated. Why is the stage in Hangzhou Mansion still wrapped in black cloth? How come there are still craftsmen working on it up to now? Is it even possible?
Isn’t the floating platform even finished?”
"Yes, I kept staring at it, and it seemed that it really wasn't finished. Why was it so rushed this year? This is a three-city competition, but it's different from previous years. I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed if I'm so poorly prepared. Look.
How well prepared are you? How beautifully decorated is the floating platform? We don’t know what’s going on?”
"I heard that Lin Jue from the third room of the Lin family was invited to take charge of this matter. As soon as the young master came yesterday, he ordered people to dismantle the half-finished floating platform and start building it again. How can this be done in time?
I'm afraid this is going to be a disaster. If we haven't even built the floating platform, how can we compete? This year's Oiran will be handed over to someone else."
"...It turns out that Mr. Lin Jue of the Lin family did the good deed. Mr. Lin is a very powerful person, how could such a mistake happen? There are not many capable people in Hangzhou, and Mr. Lin should be counted among them. It should be."
"A capable person? I don't agree. Haven't you heard about what happened to the Lin family some time ago? They say it was this young master who caused trouble and plotted his position as the head of the Lin family. The following is my fault. My impression of him in the past It's good. He helped the government suppress the pirates, and I'm grateful to him. But now I'm very dissatisfied with him. He has a bad heart. How can we ask such a person to handle such a big thing without making any mistakes? "
"Hey, why are you talking about this nonsense? You are talking about the Oiran Competition, and why are you talking about the Lin family's affairs? What does the Lin family's housework have to do with you? Besides, Mr. Lin has been fighting pirates all his life. We are in Hangzhou. The people have also benefited from it, and they no longer have to worry about pirates. You are not grateful but say bad things about people behind their backs. What does this mean?"
"...I just said it casually, and I didn't mean any harm. Anyway, it's not a joke. Mao is not doing his job well. Now he hasn't even built the floating platform, and it will start in less than an hour. Isn't this a joke? Look, Come on, we are probably going to make a fool of ourselves in Hangzhou tonight."
