Chapter 446: The rules and regulations, the order of yin and yang
These two people are completely different from Chen Zhi’s imagination.
Shouldn’t the ink person be barefoot in ink clothes?
At least you have to have some special demeanor.
However, the two people who appeared in front of Chen Zhi looked just two ordinary men, both middle-aged, wearing coarse cloth clothes, following Chen Duo, walking with his head down, looking a little timid. One of them looked up halfway and looked at Chen Zhi, but noticed that Chen Zhi's eyes were over, and then hurriedly lowered his head.
If Chen Zhi had not informed them in advance, he would not have put them together with the mysterious Mozhe. At most, these two ordinary farmers would be two ordinary farmers.
"These are the two of them who are you talking about Mozhe?" When Chen Duo stood opposite him, Chen Zhi asked, "Has they participated in Zhang Chang's rebellion?"
If you really dare to participate in the rebellion, you shouldn't be like this. Moreover, after the discipline of Mozhe, people will inevitably have different mental outlooks, but the two people in front of you did not give Chen Zhi this feeling.
"It's true!" Chen Duo knew what Chen Zhi was wondering, "The reason why these two people followed the thief was because their original leader made the decision, but the leader and several other Momen died in the chaos."
As he said that, he pointed to the two and introduced: "This one is taller, named Meng Li, and this one with a lot of beards is called Gongshuhua."
"So that's the case, leader..." Chen Zhi nodded, but he savored the word "gongshu" in his heart, thinking about it, and looked at the two people in front of him, "Do you know what to do when you come here?"
Two ordinary-faced men looked at each other, and the bearded man on the left stepped forward and said carefully: "Before coming, Manager Chen repeatedly explained to us that this time he came here to do things for you. You can do whatever you ask the villain to do." He is Gongshuhua, and he seems to be a little older than Meng Li next to him.
Chen Zhize said: "Then I want to ask you two first what you know and what you have done in the past?"
The two were stunned, looked at each other, and showed a look of hesitation.
Chen Zhi said, "Don't worry, I'm not Xuzhou here, and the things I need are different from those there. You are in the south, and you should have heard of the news of the deserted land. It's not peaceful here. There are often Hu people who attack the border and the border. I need a lot of equipment. No matter what you know, you can tell me. My family sent you here to believe in your ability. You won't be able to make a falsification or fish in troubled waters. Actually, you can't do anything, right?"
"No, no!" Gongshuhua waved his hand quickly, "We know a lot of things, and we have learned military ordnance in the army before..."
"Okay, let's talk about it." Chen Zhi sat on the chair with a calm expression.
"We have done agricultural machinery and weapons, among which..." Gongshuhua was about to say something, but Chen Zhi suddenly raised his hand to stop the other party.
Gongshuhua immediately looked at Chen Zhi with some surprise, wanting to figure out the reason.
"Well, let me ask this," Chen Zhi suddenly realized that what he needed was not what these two people could do, because no matter what equipment these two people would make, it could not exceed the limitations of this era. What he needed to know was the foundation and possibility of expansion of these two people. "Mozi mentioned in the Heavenly Sign that the wheel craftsman adhered to his rules and conquered the square and circle of the world. Most of these equipment was made of fine objects of square and circle, and to make such fine objects, use compass and curved rulers. It can be seen that the learning of the mechanism is actually tools. I wonder how much you two know about tools? How many of you can master it? Are you good at the distinction between square and circle?"
This is how he understands the two people's control over tools, their understanding of scale, accuracy and structural diagrams.
"I didn't expect that the prefect had such a thorough understanding of the mechanism," Gongshuhua didn't know whether it was for flattery or sincere praise, and showed admiration with Meng Li around him, and then said: "We both have a round instrument. There are twenty-one square and round diagrams of family-born equipment, which can be imitated, and ten can be seven."
The meaning of this is that they are proficient in manufacturing tools and can also make drawings. There are 21 mature design drawings at home, and five products are made according to the structure on the drawings, with a yield rate of 70%.
When Chen Zhi heard this, he nodded and was quite satisfied with the result. Ordinary craftsmen and the number of finished products were probably not even half of them. This involved all aspects. In addition to materials, experience, craftsmanship and square drawings were also very important.
Square drawings are actually related to drawings.
There are twenty-one pictures of Gongshuhua and the other two families, and Chen Zhi does not value it. Since it is passed down from family, it is from the past. Compared with the present, there must be backward places in many places, especially Chen Zhi still remembers more things in his mind. However, the other party opened this sentence openly, which undoubtedly showed his attitude and willingness to be loyal, and it also showed that they had more design thinking than ordinary craftsmen.
What Chen Zhi values more is the attitudes of these two people and their basic skills.
"It seems that both of you are good craftsmen," Chen Zhi said, looking at the two of you, "soon, you will need to start your work. As long as you can satisfy me, I will naturally give you no stingy rewards, and even let you get rid of your slavery, it is not a problem."
When the two heard this, they said, "We waited for them, and we didn't ask for a break from the family. It was enough to be able to eat and wear and warm."
Chen Zhi was stunned when he heard this and immediately understood.
At this time, many ordinary people who took the initiative to join the aristocratic families and were willing to be tenants of the aristocratic families and even slaves, in order to have a guarantee, because the laws of the New Han Dynasty really guaranteed the landlords. The interests of the aristocratic families were not only privileged by their scholars, but also by their land and slaves.
In this case, many people must have taken the initiative to sell their own land and entrusted their own land. This is also one of the important ways to merge land.
Gongshuhua and the other two refused Chen Zhi's intention, which is very likely for this reason, but there are also concerns that Chen Zhi could make a test.
Although Chen Zhi thought about the two of them, he did not forget that there was a possible huge organization hidden behind them.
So he changed his subject and said, "Okay, it's okay if you don't want to. In short, I will give you benefits. Dai County is so deserted, but there is also a lot of fertile land. As long as you can do it well, you can reward the fields and houses at that time."
This time, the two finally showed joy. For the people of the world, land is always what they value the most, even craftsmen are no exception.
After being happy, Chen Zhi asked for some details, but they were all using tools. The two answered one by one. Meng Li, who was a little restrained at first, gradually let go and answered some questions. He gradually realized that Chen Zhi was aware of his skills and showed an expression of awe.
Finally, Chen Zhi nodded and smiled, "The two of you have a solid learning, especially the use of the round and right tools. Just listen to you two, you will know that you can deeply understand the taste. The rules are the right and round tools; the right and right tools are the right and square tools. Only by obtaining the essence of these two can you become a tool. With your help, I can rest assured."
This recognizes the ability of both of them.
Gongshuhua, Meng Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and completely relieved. They actually felt pressured when they came here. Since the thief was defeated and fell into the Chen family as slaves, a few years have passed. The two were in their prime, had skills, and had married and had children. It was considered as starting a family and starting a career. At this time, they suddenly wanted to go north, so of course they were worried.
As servants and others, when they leave, their wives and children are inevitably worried, but only by gaining a foothold can their families benefit from it.
Afterwards, the two of them talked to Chen Zhi for a while, and Meng Li couldn't help but sigh: "If the teacher is still there, you will definitely be happy to hear what you said by Master."
"Teacher?" Chen Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Is the teacher you mentioned already..."
Meng Li quickly said, "My teacher is the uncle of the Gongshu brothers. He is farming in the south. I listen to your words, and it is very similar to the teacher. The teacher often mentions tools and attaches great importance to these things. When I asked me to draw circles and squares, it was even more harsh!"
Chen Zhi nodded and looked at Gongshuhua.
The latter knew the meaning and said, "My uncle is different from me. He is a wealthy family. He has read a lot of books. What we have learned is just the basics. When he taught me, he often said, "The rules are the rules and the instruments are the same. The rules are the rules and the instruments are the same. The rules and the instruments are the square ones, and the instruments are the shape they are not lost. Therefore, before we make each device, we must repeatedly calculate the rules and circumference diagrams before we can start."
"The rules are required, the Yin and Yang are ordered, and the round and square are formed! The two uncles should have great talents, and the general history and Mo, and they have this teacher. No wonder they made utensils, seven or eight out of ten." Chen Zhi couldn't help but be interested in the uncle they mentioned. According to the Mo family system, although these two people did not look like Mo, they listened to their words, but they were inherited by the Mo family. The professors were originally teachers, and uncles were undoubtedly Mo people, and they were also wealthy families. Perhaps not ordinary. He then asked: "I don't know where Uncle Zun is? What is his status in the Mo family?"
In fact, the surname Gongshuhua made Chen Zhi care a little, and Gongshuhua became a slave, but his family has been passed down for several generations and the greed of a gentleman was killed for five generations. Even if the five subdues were destroyed, they would not have much relationship with the family. Therefore, Gongshuhua's uncle should be the clan uncle, so there would be room for imagination.
I think if such people can win over, they can not only help, but also attract a large number of people, speed up the planning progress, and transform the production environment of Dai County as soon as possible.
When Gongshuhua faced the inquiry, he looked embarrassed and whispered: "My uncle had a conflict with the leader before, so he didn't have much contact with me anymore. When the thief started, he stayed in Jiangzuo. He was the generation of Yangzhou. Now he doesn't have much contact with him. He only communicated once in three years."
How could he not see Chen Zhi’s interest in his uncle? If he could make a move, it would be beneficial, but he did not dare to make a promise rashly.
Chen Zhi nodded, feeling a little disappointed, but did not intend to force it. Unexpectedly, Gongshuhua said again: "My uncle's surname is Ma. He went north to study and studied under many people, including Liu Zouping, Qingzhou, who is a master of "Zhou Ren" and "Nine Chapters".
Chen Zhi was stunned, why are your surname Gongshu, but your clan uncle's surname is Ma?
Liu Zouping?
Liu Hui!
