Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 148 I feel itchy after reading this article
Judging from Mr. Qiao's reaction, it doesn't look like you only have a vague understanding.

Although Su Jun was muttering in his heart, he still looked admired on the surface, but soon he and Qian Bao were frightened.

Due to Mr. Qiao's sudden physical discomfort, the two of them were somewhat distracted. In addition, Chen Zhi showed his ability as a doctor, so the two of them focused their attention on this. Now that Mr. Qiao has improved and the situation has stabilized, they recalled what they had just said. The feeling in my heart is completely different.

What just happened?
From Qiao Lao's point of view, he was repeatedly refuted to the point that he got angry and hurt himself. However, from the perspective of Qian Bao and Su Jun, Chen Zhi would always come up with the same thing or allusion whenever Qiao Lao mentioned it. Allusions and classics respond.

Just say anything, he knows allusions, and can refute them with quotations from scriptures. How knowledgeable is this?

Don't think that what Mr. Qiao just said left a lot of loopholes and seemed unwise. But the actual situation is that many people in the world today have very limited books to read. Even some wealthy families have very large collections of books. limitation.

In contrast, Mr. Qiao, as an academic official in Xuzhou, could read the classics in Xuzhou at will. He knew a huge number of allusions. He often quoted classics when talking to people. Over time, he developed the habit of talking from a high position. Many of the things he said , no one else had even heard of it. After being scolded by Mr. Qiao, they had to ask him for advice and the reason for the allusion.

And just like just now, Mr. Qiao said something and noticed that Chen Zhi knew the corresponding allusion. He immediately changed his angle, read the classics, and said it again. Most people who encounter this kind of situation may know the first allusion. But the second one may not be known, and in the end Chen Zhi still answered fluently, not only that, but also showed a deep understanding of it.

At this time, Chen Zhi had already asked someone to come over, support Mr. Qiao, and said at the same time: "Mr. Qiao, you'd better take a rest first, I'll have someone take you to the side room." The latter was indeed tired and nodded in agreement.

As soon as the others left, Chen Zhi said a few more words to the people around him, finally explaining all the farm tools, and finally had his hands free to formally receive Gan Bao and his party.

"I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long, but these farmers came here early in the morning and suffered from hunger and cold. I should give them an explanation. I hope you can understand."

"That's what it should be. It's against etiquette for me to come without telling you, and I can't delay business." Gan Bao also replied politely, although he was very concerned about this matter and worried that Xu Hui would get ahead of him, but This superficial effort has to be done.

Having said this, Qian Bao changed the subject and asked about the farm tools that Chen Zhi had just ordered to assemble: "Oh? That thing can be called a curved shaft plow. It is convenient for farmers to cultivate land. I thought it was of some use, so I made it When I came out, I happened to be appreciated by the county guard, and I wanted to promote it within the scope of Pengcheng County. I had already agreed to send agricultural officials over, but I didn't expect to run into a coincidence with a few of them."

Naturally, Gan Bao wouldn't believe that this was a coincidence. Even if he had agreed to send someone here in advance, there was no need to rush in such a hurry, and the time was such a coincidence.

But he didn't say anything, and the topic still focused on farm tools: "This curved shaft plow looks very flexible and convenient, and it seems to be able to swing. It is really exquisitely designed, and I saw that many of the parts just now, except for this curved shaft plow, There seem to be other farm tools, I wonder if I can take a look?"

At this point, he was afraid that Chen Zhi would worry about plagiarism, so he continued: "Mr. Qiao and Brother Su are both here. Naturally, we are only here to bear witness to Mr. Chen."

In the era of heavy fame, reputation is the best moral weapon, which can restrain a person's words and deeds. Even if his thoughts are not like this, the things he does must echo today's mainstream views.

Chen Zhi did not have these concerns. His main purpose was to try out whether the things made by peasants and Mohist machine techniques could be regarded as a unique skill. After the curved shaft plow was formed, Chen Zhi went to Chenhou Temple. He got an affirmative answer, but it's not that the curved shaft plow is regarded as a unique skill, but that the several agricultural tools he designed this time together can be regarded as a perfect farming instrument, more than a hundred years in advance, so he has been evaluated as a unique skill.

On the other hand, if this thing is designed, it must be used by someone, otherwise it will be meaningless, let alone a farm tool that can improve production efficiency. Chen Zhi has no idea of ​​​​preserving it for himself.

Gan Bao, Su Jun and others are the confidants of the governor. With their support, the agricultural tools designed by Chen Zhi may spread quickly throughout Xuzhou, which is of great significance to this land that has experienced droughts and floods. Big meaning.

"This is what I can do for this era."

With this thought, Chen Zhi didn't show any concern at all and said with a smile: "If you are interested, you can come to my study. I have designed more than one kind of farm tools. If you are interested, you might as well come and take a look. Just give me some advice."

"That's great!" Gan Bao couldn't ask for more. The reason why he mentioned these things was not only because he was interested in farm tools, but also because he wanted to use this as a stepping stone or to say something to recruit Chen Zhi.

Su Jun also saw this, so he did not object.

So, Chen Zhi took the two of them not to the main hall, but to the study in the backyard.

Since the house occupies a large area, Chen Zhi's study is also very large. There are many bookshelves in it, but most of the bookshelves are empty, and only a few have books.When Gan Bao and Su Jun came in, they were not surprised when they saw the rows of empty bookshelves. They also got some information and knew that Chen Zhi had moved here recently. Ordinary aristocratic families who wanted to enrich their book collections would It will take many years. Chen Zhi can only live in the Chen family. No matter how famous he is, some things still need time to accumulate before they can form a foundation.

However, when the two of them took a few steps closer and saw several books on the bookshelf, and noticed the amazing calligraphy on the covers, they were shocked again.

"It goes without saying that these fine calligraphy are all written by Chen Zhi. In addition to Chen Zhi's articles, what I have heard about in Pengcheng these days is his calligraphy. In this way, the books on these two bookshelves are all Was it written by Chen Zhi?"

Thinking like this, the two of them couldn't help but scan the two bookshelves with books. Although the books were scattered here and there, taken together, there were at least more than 300 books, and they covered a wide range of topics.

"No wonder, even Mr. Qiao's allusions cannot be compared to Chen Zhi's. If nothing else, just by copying so many books by hand, he has gained so much knowledge."

Little did the two of them know that these books were not copied by Chen Zhi, but in the process of comprehending and studying the books in his heart, he wrote while comprehending. Every time he wrote a book, it meant that the book was copied by him. I almost understand it.

Chen Zhi would not tell anyone these words, so after Su Jun and the others were surprised, their eyes were soon attracted by the many scattered objects on the table in the room, as well as a few pieces of drawing paper.

These things are naturally the parts and design drawings of agricultural tools.

"Mr. Chen, you really have an unruly temper. On other people's study tables, there are paperweights and pen holders, but you put some farm supplies. If Mr. Qiao sees this, he will give you a scolding." Su Jun smiled and joked, invisibly deepening the relationship between the two, while also downplaying Mr. Qiao's behavior just now.

What Mr. Qiao said was undoubtedly harmful, but according to Su Jun's words, it became a joke among friends and indirectly elevated Chen Zhi's status.

Chen Zhi said with a smile: "I just made this up on the spur of the moment. I have a few paperweights and pen holders. When the busy farming season is over, it's time to put them out." On the New Year's Day, everyone sent congratulatory gifts. Although there were also jewelry and jade items, But more of them were the Four Treasures of the Study, which was what he liked. Many of them were valuable items, which were collected by Chen Zhi. Now that he had a foundation, he also ordered to make a list of those who wanted to congratulate him that day. People prepare things in return.

Qian Bao came to the table, looked at several design drawings, and nodded repeatedly: "It's really an exquisite design. It seems simple, but it's actually a mystery. If no one points it out, I'm afraid no one will ever be able to figure it out. The principle is originally from complexity to simplicity, but it is easy to understand the complexity, but it is difficult to understand the simplicity!"

Chen Zhi came to the side, shook his head and said: "This is wrong. People in the past have achieved great things, and people in the future will have even more achievements. You can't favor the past over the present. Even if I don't take out these things, someone will want to get them in the future." "This is true. Chen Zhi's design already integrated many ideas of later generations, even though it would take more than a hundred or hundreds of years.

Qian Bao knew that Chen Zhi was being modest, so he smiled and said nothing, and turned his eyes to an article.

This article was placed on the corner of the table, at the top of a stack of paper. It had a lot of words and was already conspicuous among the many design drawings. However, Qian Bao actually valued Chen Zhi's writing talent more than the design of farm tools. Naturally, He paid attention to it, and when he saw the text, he picked it up and took a look, but he was slightly taken aback.

I thought it was an article about famous religions, but after taking a closer look, I realized that it was actually about how to raise silkworms.

"Mr. Chen, do you still have research on Jamsil?" Qian Bao was very surprised.

This "silkworm room" was originally a place for torture and torture. The characteristics of the room are that it is well sealed and can store fire to increase the temperature. Later, people who raised silkworms learned from this method and used indoor heating to speed up the maturation of silkworms.

Needless to say, the economic value of silkworms is a major source of income for the local government, and it is also related to farming. So when Gan Bao saw it, his heart skipped a beat, thinking of Chen Zhi’s performance in Quyuanli and medical skills. The unexpected ability that emerged made him pay special attention to his article describing the method of raising silkworms.

"Shi Shuo" is an ancient text that can bring fame and point out humanistic ethics, and this method of raising silkworms is a real benefit. If it is implemented properly, it can bring huge economic value!

After listening to Gan Bao's inquiry, Chen Zhi remembered that in his free time in the past two days, he thought of reducing rent for the fields, and then thinking about new cash crops and money-making projects, he wrote a few articles. At that time, he also thought When I got into sericulture, I happened to have some earlier memories in my mind, and I wrote them down casually, without thinking about it. I forgot about it afterwards. If Gan Bao hadn't discovered it at this time, he might have been buried in a pile of paper. I don't know how long.
