After reading it over and over again, Zhang Hao sighed: "Unfortunately, I don't know who the author is; it would be better if I could visit him."
"Can you understand?" A voice suddenly floated from the side.
Zhang Hao jumped up with an ouch; when he saw that it was his master, Taoist Master Mingxu, Zhang Hao was shocked and said: "Master, do you know that scaring people will kill them?"
"This statement is quite new." Taoist Master Mingxu sat down next to him. "This book was obtained when I traveled to Taotu Continent."
The Continent of Flooding Earth? The ‘Kuodi Continent’ appeared in Zhang Hao’s mind. The Continent of Flooding Earth is located in the south of the Continent of Fertile Earth. Based on this calculation, Suan Jing is still imported.
"Master, does he know who the author is?"
Taoist Master Mingxu shook his head slightly: "I accidentally obtained this from a incomplete seal. Let me think about it... In addition to a withered skeleton, there are two books. By the way, these two books."
Taoist Master Mingxu tapped lightly, and two books flew in front of Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao took them, but they were "Three Yuans" (Astrology Map) and "Seal Interpretation".
However, when I opened the two books, I found that both books only had a few pages of text, and the handwriting was more sloppy. The author probably wanted to use mathematical methods to analyze the stars and seals. But obviously, he failed.
Zhang Hao closed his eyes and seemed to see a picture:
In the seal, a desperate wise man accidentally discovered the tool of mathematics; a spark of hope burst out from despair.
He used mathematical methods to analyze the basic formation of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and achieved success.
However, when he tried to use mathematical methods to analyze the seal, he suffered a bloody blow.
The new mathematics is just like the newly born buds. Although it is full of vitality, it is also fragile and delicate; while the traditional cultivation system is like the towering giant trees that block the sky and the sun.
The giant trees blocked the sunlight from the buds, and the buds withered in the darkness.
However, the fragile bud left behind a perfect seed, waiting for the day it will sprout again.
Zhang Hao held up the three books and said solemnly: "Master, I want these three books."
"What else?"
"Disciple doesn't know what to choose."
"Read these two books carefully."
Zhang Hao took it over and found two books: "The Thirty-Six Techniques of the Pure Heart Mantra" and "Comments on the Secrets of Qi Refining".
…………
The carriage creaked, but Zhang Hao was lying on a soft blanket studying Sutra Sutra; Zhang Hao also wore a storage ring on his left hand, which was given by Taoist Master Mingxu.
The carriage was arranged by Ji BuTong. After Zhang Hao became the registered disciple of Taoist Master Mingxu, Ji BuTong's attitude immediately changed.
Tired of reading, Zhang Hao paid attention to the pages of "Suan Jing". The paper was strong and tough; even though the book was very old, the pages were still new.
"This is 'Gastrodia Paper', which is very precious." Ji BuTong said, "The information recorded on the jade slips is not intuitive and can easily be lost.
Within the Jiuyang Sect, important documents and materials will be copied using Gastrodia paper.
As long as it is properly preserved, Gastrodia paper can last for thousands of years without decaying."
"I see, does Jiuyang Sect sell this gastrodia paper?"
"This is one of the specialties of our Jiuyang Sect. Half of the gastrodia paper in Qixia comes from the Jiuyang Sect. If you want, I can give you some."
Zhang Hao thought for a while: "I will use a lot. I wonder what the price of gastrodia paper is?"
"Well, ordinary gastrodia paper has two spiritual stones per roll; good ones cost 10 spiritual stones per roll. A roll of gastrodia paper is one foot long and three feet wide."
"Then I will order gastrodia paper of various qualities, ten rolls of each."
…………
At sunset, the carriage finally returned to the county seat of Ninghe County.
After seeing off Ji Tongtong, Zhang Shengde immediately looked at Zhang Hao with burning eyes. Zhang Hao looked a little strange. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Zhang Shengde smiled faintly: "Qian Shaoxian was killed by a Taoist friend, right?"
A voice appeared behind Zhang Hao: "It's a pity that Qian Mingjue was not caught. Qian Shaoxian gave up his own life, activated a teleportation talisman, and sent Qian Mingjue away."
Teleportation talisman, Zhang Hao nodded slightly, that’s it. This was what Qian Shaoxian blackmailed from Taoist Master Mingxu.
After paying the bill, Zhang Shengde saw off the master of Yeyue Tower. He suddenly laughed twice excitedly and was about to take a rest. These two days have been so exciting, and he has not been so proud in the past few decades.
After laughing for a while, Zhang Han came over and said, "Godfather, this is a message from home."
Zhang Shengde put away his smile and started to read. After a moment, his expression became serious.
"Qian Mingjue returned to the Qian family, taking only more than thirty people with him, taking away all the wealth he could take away, and left.
So, where are the remaining members of the Qian family now?"
"Not sure yet."
Zhang Shengde looked at the sky and said, "The city gate is not closed yet, we will return immediately."
After a while, Zhang Hao became a kite. Zhang Han stayed in charge of the store and would lead everyone back tomorrow, while Zhang Hao was dragged by Zhang Shengde and flew in the sky.
It's fun to fly with a sword, but it's a different feeling to be dragged along by others.
Everything about being graceful and graceful, go to hell. In less than half an hour, Zhang Hao flew back home from the county town, and Zhang Hao was full of wind.
Zhang Shengde left Zhang Hao and went to discuss with Zhang Shengye. Zhang Hao shrugged and went to do his own business.
Arriving at the mine, Zhang Hao went directly to Huangming Mountain.
"Master." Huang Mingshan looked at Zhang Hao with excitement on his face. Has the time come to show off?
Zhang Hao nodded, "Call those who are on the list."
Zhang Hao did not fully adopt all the names submitted by Huang Mingshan, and only selected six in total. As a superior, he should properly demonstrate his authority. Besides, there are not so many people needed for the time being.
After a while, Huang Mingshan brought six people over.
Zhang Hao saw that most of the seven people, including Huang Mingshan, had smoky faces. Looking carefully, except for Huang Mingshan, who looked in his twenties, most of the others were around 20 years old, and some were even younger than Zhang Hao.
of.
"Line up according to age and report your name, age, specialties, etc."
Huang Mingshan is naturally the captain, "Huang Mingshan, 25 years old, fifth level of Qi refining stage. Specialties... Specialties..."
Zhang Hao added: "Tell me something related to formations, weapon refining, fans, etc."
"That specialty is being familiar with the structure of fans. The fan that the young master saw was made by me."
"Very good." Zhang Hao nodded, expressing his affirmation and appreciation; "Next."
"Chen Feng, 21 years old, fourth level of Qi Refining, knows a bit about battle tactics; can simply repair some low-level magic weapons."
"Shi Donglai, 20 years old, fourth level of Qi Refining, has some knowledge of runes."
"Hou Shangzhuo, 20 years old, fifth level of Qi refining, can make some low-level magic weapons."
"Liu Ming, 19 years old, fourth level of Qi Refining, has some knowledge of the application, adjustment and maintenance of various magical instruments."
"Wang Xuefeng, 18 years old, fourth level of Qi Refining, knows... knows... the point formation method, is most familiar with millstones, and can make simple adjustments."
"Yu Yueyun, 17 years old, fourth level of Qi refining, can refine weapons, mainly refining some small items. This... young master... is this considered a specialty..."
"Forget it! And it's very good!" Zhang Hao affirmed, and Yu Yueyun immediately became excited.
Zhang Hao glanced at everyone and spoke slowly: "I know everyone is confused as to why I want to find you and what to do.
It's actually very simple, I want to give it a try.
If successful, it will be able to change the Zhang family just like the current black iron smelting technology. Of course, it can also change you.
As long as we can succeed, each person will receive a Foundation Building Pill!"
Foundation Establishment Pill! These three words instantly made the eyes of the seven people in Huang Mingshan brighten.
The next step is of course the swearing. Ever since he learned the "complicated truth" about Qian Shaoxian's death, Zhang Hao has become more cautious about swearing.
Zhang Hao asked Huang Mingshan and seven others to swear allegiance to him and keep it secret - even Zhang Shengde couldn't say anything without his own nod.
The craftsmen hesitated; but Zhang Hao looked like he didn't care, you have made a lot of money.
In the end, the craftsmen still swore.
"Very good!" Zhang Hao waved his hand and took out seven small porcelain bottles from the storage ring, "One bottle for each person, five Peiyuan Pills in each bottle. Huang Mingshan, you can distribute them."
Huang Mingshan took the bottle with some excitement, carefully distributed it to everyone, and finally kept his own.
"Thank you, Master." Everyone's voices were uniform.
Zhang Hao nodded, "Put it all away. Behave well in the future. Follow me."
Arriving at the entrance of the smelting base, there is a building with warehouses, canteens, accommodation, rest rooms, guards, etc., and of course the "offices" of Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye.
Zhang Hao occupied a newly built warehouse and put his name on it - Zhang Hao.
The warehouse is very large, almost three feet in size, which is ten meters in size, and approximately square.
"From now on, we will gather here at the beginning of Chen time (7 o'clock) every morning; we will rest at the end of You time (19 o'clock) every day. We will have a half-hour break at noon."
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison.
"Very good, then starting now, the first thing you have to do is study..."
Study, study mathematics, and learn to use mathematics to understand the world around you! This is undoubtedly a difficult task.
In this small, simple classroom, Zhang Hao took out the "Suzhou Sutra", and then started with brand new numbers, starting with basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and personally educated and trained the seven people in front of him.
Zhang Hao did not engage in any public education, and did not have time to "start from the baby". He could only select those who were younger, smarter, and had relevant expertise among his own craftsmen.
Zhang Hao also learned about the list submitted by Huang Mingshan through Zhang Shengye. He had a clear understanding of the situation of the craftsmen and gave Zhang Hao a lot of suggestions.
As time passed, Zhang Hao taught numbers, hours, minutes, seconds, temperature, speed, meters, centimeters, millimeters, cubes, spheres, etc., one by one.
At first, the seven people were a little worried, not knowing what the young master was doing by asking them and others to do it; but a few days passed, and the seven people were eager to learn everything.
The energy of cultivators is very strong. If these guys meditate for an hour, they can ensure that they are full of energy for the whole day. In order to reward everyone's learning attitude, Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and gave each person a Peiyuan Pill every day. This is the team he has chosen, and the foundation cannot be damaged.
.
There is a test every day, and the best person is rewarded with 3 spirit stones, the second place is 1 spirit stone. The third place... there is no reward.
In a blink of an eye, six days passed. Zhang Hao stood on the podium and looked at the seven people below who were reviewing carefully, with satisfaction flashing in his eyes. The cultivators were indeed different. In six days, he had almost mastered the basic knowledge.
Next, just study, research and think!
Zhang Hao clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, you have performed well in six days. Tomorrow, we will have an important task. We will use mathematical methods to redesign a new fan.
As long as the fan design is successful this time, everyone will be rewarded with a Foundation Building Pill!
Tomorrow, dress better. I hope that starting from tomorrow, you will no longer position yourself as ‘craftsmen’.”
Yu Yueyun was the most lively, "Master, if you're not a craftsman, what are you?"
