My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 17
Health School, as the name suggests, is the school of the guard.

The school system of the Ming Dynasty was formulated by Emperor Hongwu himself. The school is not only an academic education facility, but also an official institution.

However, there is a difference between hygiene and hygiene.

For example, Zhang Juzheng studied at Huguang Jingzhou Wei School of Hygiene, which is a serious official school with 20 lin students, 20 Zengguang students, and 10 attached students.

Huguang Jingzhou Health School also has the qualifications to hold scientific examinations and select to participate in rural examinations.

And Changningwei's health school is just a private school where the health institute hires enlightenment teachers from outside. It has no appropriation from the government office, let alone the qualifications of students.

Although Changning Guard's guard school is only a private school, the guard that can run a private school is already quite remarkable.

Ninth Aunt fell into the memory. When she was young, the southeast region was not so chaotic at that time, and Changning Guard was still a very prosperous guard.

Ninth Aunt still remembers the sound of Wei Xue reading loudly at that time.

Changningwei’s health school was established in the period of the fourth patriarch, and the guard also specially allocated money to the health school to hire mentors from outside to teach Changningwei’s children to read and enlighten.

At that time, there were many families in Changningwei who were able to eat enough, and wanted to educate their children and try the way of the imperial examination.

However, the children of Changningwei have no talent in reading. Since the establishment of the Wei School, there have been no scholars who have passed the county examination and government examination to obtain the qualification of student staff.

As the Changning Guard began to decline, the guard began to be unable to afford the cost of guarding.

You must know that Wei Xue not only needs to hire a teacher, but also needs pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and purchases teaching materials.

Going to the health school requires full-time study, which means that the family has one less labor force, and the health school also needs to pay to the teacher's Shuxiu. After entering and leaving, more and more children of the health school quit the health school.

I don't know when it started, the stern teacher in the Wei Xueli left, and after the teacher disappeared, there was no sound of reading in the Wei Xueli.

Ninth Aunt returned to reality from her memories, she looked at Su Ze and said:

"The health center is like this, it can't afford the health school, and no one will send their children to the health school."

Su Ze said quickly: "My nephew knows it, and I don't plan to recruit more students. I just want them to have a place to study."

Ninth Aunt said again: "The guards can't even afford the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

"It's okay, you can use the sand table to practice calligraphy first."

Su Ze was afraid that Aunt Ninth would refuse, and said, "It's not that they are going to take the imperial examination, it's just that they can read and write. It's enough to read books for half a day every day."

Now Aunt Jiu finally nodded and said: "The health school has been neglected for so long, I'm afraid the tables, chairs and benches are useless. You can try to repair it."

"I'll go to the ancestral hall and tell my old man to bring those books from the Wei School."

Su Ze said immediately: "Then thank you, Auntie!"

Ninth Aunt is the concubine of the family temple of the Weisuo, and she is also very prestigious in Changning Wei. With her appearance, the family hall agreed to hand over the original Wei Xue to Su Ze, and also handed over the books in the Wei Xue to him. .

However, the old man also made a request that Su Ze, in addition to Lin Liangjun and Lin Cainiang, take three more guard children to study for free.

Su Ze naturally agreed. Anyway, one sheep is also driven, and two sheep are also led. He originally wanted to bring two carrot heads to study, and it doesn't matter if he brings three more.

In this way, the guard school behind the ancestral hall was reopened, and Su Ze took two radish heads to work all day, and finally cleaned the guard school.

The original tables and chairs are no longer usable, but Lin Liangjun, a little radish, has a lot of contacts in the guard, and a child who plays with him is the grandson of a master craftsman at the dock of the guard. The companion also signed up for the Wei School, and then pulled Su Ze to pull the broken table and chairs to the dock.

The dock is on the slope near the sea of ​​the guard. Changning Guard is a sea guard, so it naturally needs daily maintenance of warships. The dock is presided over by a master craftsman Lin Xianzong, and the craftsmen under him are all his apprentices.

It was the first time Su Ze saw Daming's dock, and he looked at the building curiously.

This shipyard is built on a gentle slope near the sea, and the entire shipyard occupies a huge area, with stockpiling warehouses and various workshops in front.

After passing through these workshops, Su Ze's vision suddenly opened up. Near the sea is a huge open-air workplace. The lucky boat is suspended on a row of beams. The boatman Lin Xianzong is leading his apprentices to repair it nervously. .

Su Ze looked at this huge open-air workplace in surprise. Before crossing, Changningwei's shipyard had been abandoned in the Qing Dynasty, and even the ruins were not left.

In the records of the genealogy, there are only a few words about the dock. We only know that the dock occupies a very large area, and there are supporting workshops such as wood workshop, nail workshop, rope workshop, and anchor workshop.

When he saw the dock in reality, Su Ze was shocked by the size of the dock, and what shocked him even more was the lucky boat that was placed in the dock for maintenance.

When the warship returned last time, Su Ze was still tied up in the family temple as a Japanese pirate. After the blessing boat docked at the port, it was dragged into the dock for maintenance. He has never had the chance to see this Changningwei warship.

Now I see that this Fuchuan ship has three decks and is nearly 20 meters long, which is half the length of a basketball court!
The hull alone is seven or eight meters high, and there is a ship building above the deck, and the ship building is surrounded by armor made of bamboo.

There is a huge mast on the ship, which is the mainsail of the Fuchuan. The mainsail is not the cloth sail of the western sailing ship, but is woven with thin bamboo strips, like a shutter. sail.

Just the amount of bamboo strips used on this sail makes Su Ze's scalp tingle. How much effort is needed to make such a sail!

In ancient times without machines, Su Ze couldn't believe how much effort it took to build such a warship!
Seeing Su Ze's surprised look, Lin Liangjun, the little carrot head, said in shock:

"How about it? Our warship of Changningwei is a ship of [-] materials! It is the best ship in the whole Fujian!"

Su Ze nodded. Before crossing, he knew that the shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty was developed, otherwise there would be no Sanbao eunuchs going to Nanyang.

But seeing such a huge warship with his own eyes, Su Ze knew that the shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty had reached this point. This Fuchuan was not inferior to European sailing ships at all, and some performances were even better than European sailing ships.

Lin Liangjun pointed to the floating lucky boat and asked, "I'll test you again. Do you know how this boat is suspended on this beam? If you can answer it, I will call you brother together with Cai Niang!" If you can't answer, how about calling me brother?"

Lin Liangjun looked at Su Ze with his hips on his hips. The shocked look of this bumpkin must have never been in the dock. Even if he is a scholar, he can't know everything!This time I won by myself!

Su Ze looked around and said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? When the tide comes, the sea water will rise. The dock opens the gate to lead the sea water into the dock. When the tide falls, the seawater is discharged, and the gate is blocked to prevent the seawater from entering, and the warship is suspended on the beams."

Lin Liangjun was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Su Ze to know the reason just by scanning it. Is reading really so good?
Lin Liangjun shouted reluctantly: "Brother."
