I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 136
After more than half an hour, the inspector finally said: "The examinees first enter the utensil shed one by one, and find their own production area according to the number of the luggage drawn by the white ash on the ground. For those who cannot read, they will beat the famous drum and be guided by the inspector."

The patrolman in front of the straw weaving utensils shed shouted: "Candidate Han Mu!"

The examinee beat the famous drum of his own town within a short time after entering: "Han Mu is illiterate in Xiluli, Zuyi County."

"Candidate Wang Xiao."

Wang Ge got a little excited when he heard "Wang". The other party was a young man who was not confused.He also beat the famous drum of the village, a native of Hefang Township.

The third candidate is from the county again.

Why are you beating the famous drum?When Wang Ge was in doubt, it was time for her to enter.

The previous three candidates did not enter their respective production areas first, but lined up, standing on the side of Xiangminggu.

The patrolmen are on the other side, explaining the rules: "From west to east, and then turn back here, each frame line is not allowed to stay, and then tell me which production area belongs to you? If you can't recognize it, knock on the famous drum of the village. Yes. If you make a mistake, you will be eliminated. Do candidates understand?"

Wang Ge immediately said: "Understood." The twenty production areas are all in a square shape, separated by white ash sprinkled on the ground.A total of two rows, a row of ten.The meaning of the inspector was that she was only allowed to walk back and forth, and she was not allowed to stop and think.

The materials in each production area are covered with coarse cloth. Wang Ge cannot determine his own production area based on the previously made utensils, but can only identify it with the white gray number in front of the box.

The number of her luggage is "叶, 25, 二", and the most complicated word "叶" is the easiest to recognize, but she didn't dare to try to confirm the number received.Are they also script?Or Chiven?Several of them are pointed at both ends and thick in the middle. They look like a vertical shuttle, and they are also characters?Does it stand for "one"?

No, she didn't dare to confirm, and because she had to keep moving forward, gray and gray numbers remained in her mind, and new ones appeared, and she became more and more confused.

She does know that "×" refers to "five", which is a borrowed word from the Shang Dynasty.

It's broken, it's all the way to the end, and she concluded that the long character with two corners should be "two" in ancient Chinese!
Boom!But she didn't dare to gamble, and shouted with a mallet and drum: "Wang Ge, Zhuzhi Township, can't read." Alas, no matter how thick-skinned it is, it would be embarrassing.

Patrol officer: "Wang Ge, the second row, Dongsan third."

"Yes." Really scared!Because it was different from what she guessed, she guessed the east fourth box in the first row.She stood next to the famous drum, and the next candidate came in.

20 people, without exception, all beat the famous drum.

There are no candidates outside the shed.

The examiner entered each artifact shed separately and said, "Do you know why you are asked to identify various ancient characters? Because if you don't know ancient characters, you will not be able to identify ancient objects. Then you will have to ask scholars for advice, and what others say is right or wrong. , your brains are empty, you don’t know right or wrong! Why is our status as a craftsman being valued by the court every year? Not to be despised by all civil and military officials? It is precisely because of the origin of various characters that they are all archived in prison! Scholars want to read ancient characters, It is necessary to pass the prison! We, the younger generations, must firmly memorize all the ancient characters and pass them down from generation to generation! When we discover an ancient character, we must remember one! We must remember it!! We, the craftsmen, will pass it down from generation to generation Yes, not only craftsmanship, but also words!! Wait... do you understand?"

"Understood!!" Wang Ge was so excited by the examiner's words that he stretched his neck and yelled along with the crowd.

"Shout three times in a row!!" The examiner raised his arms and ordered.

"Understood, understood, understood!!"

The examiner waved his hand, and the timing drum sounded.

Wang Ge followed what the inspector said just now, and entered the white gray box in the second row, Dongsan.It turns out that the ancient characters of the vertical "shuttle" represent the number "ten".Uncovering the cloth on the pile of materials, she found that all five utensils she made were in one shaukei: needlework cage, straw rope (only three feet long), square-headed shoes (one pair), counting chips (ten pieces), arm armor slices (ten slices).

There are a lot of materials.

Each type of utensil is bound with a bamboo slip. Fortunately, the writing on it is no longer ancient characters.

But this kind of luck only belonged to the two candidates including her in this utensil shed.

How can ordinary people have access to literacy?Candidates got up one after another to beat the famous drum again.

"Wei from Xunqi Township...can't read."

"Zhu Zhixiang Zhang...can't read."

Xunxi Township, Hefang Township, Wuzhi Township, Tuyi County, Xunxi Township...

Wang Ge has become numb to the noise, so let’s look at the instructions on the modification of the counting chip first, which is consistent with her expectation: either to reduce the quantity, or to make it easier to carry.

When Huanzhen taught the Tiger Head Jiujiu Watch, she was already thinking about how to make the abacus in advance.It is simple to make this thing, and the reason must first be explained.So whenever Huan Langjun demonstrated the basic usage of counting chips, she would listen in.

Counting chips is not like "counting popsicle sticks" as she thought at first.First of all, they either use red and black to distinguish positive and negative numbers, or use triangular and square prisms to distinguish positive and negative numbers.The counting rules are: one vertical and ten horizontal, one hundred standing and one thousand stiff, one thousand and ten facing each other, ten thousand and one hundred being equal.After this rule, Wang Ge basically couldn't understand the rest.

When she could understand again, it was Huan Zhen who asked Adi the question of "chicken and rabbit in the same cage".At that time, she was dumbfounded, only then did she realize that this question existed in ancient times more than a thousand years ago!

What was even more jaw-dropping and frightening to her was that Huan Zhen also took out the "Abacus and Abacus"!
Wang Nanxing’s cultural level in his previous life was limited. He didn’t know that the abacus was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage catalogues, and he didn’t know that the earliest excavation of the prototype of the Chinese abacus was from the “Abacus Abacus” in the tomb of Haihunhou.The earliest written records appeared in the "Shu Shu Ji Yi" written by Xu Yue in the Han Dynasty: abacus calculation, control of the four seasons, and three talents of latitude and longitude.

This sentence means that the wooden board is carved into three parts, the upper and lower parts are placed with floating beads, and the middle part is used to determine the location.The top bead is "five", and the bottom four beads are "one", which are distinguished by different colors.

She was deeply impressed by the wisdom of the ancients again until she saw the "Abacus and Counting Board".Therefore, this survey has the right time, the right place, the right people, and it is the best time for her to make the abacus of the future generations!
At the same time, the results of the township soldiers and martial arts came out.Both Huan Zhen and Wang Tian passed, but Sima Chong, whom Wang Tian hated, also passed.

The recruiting requirements for the Juvenile Guard Army Camp, apart from being under fifteen years old, must have a ruling official of the fifth rank or above in the clan.Most of the children of these aristocratic families signed up from the place of household registration. Huan Zhen's situation is special. His father punished him for making mistakes, specially punished him as a village soldier in a poor county, and reported to the court for permission.

There are 99 young town soldiers waiting to compete for the place of "Guardian Boy", among which Sima's family is the most, accounting for more than one-third.Many Sima disciples stared at Huanzhen in disgust, because he had robbed the county's quota, otherwise they would have one more Sima.

Two officials stood in front of these sons, and their official positions were Bing Cao Shi and Du Ting Zhang.

Bing Cao Shi: "Quiet. Congratulations to Zhupaoze for passing the township soldier competition. Take a break for a few days, wait for the blacksmith, carpenter and master craftsman to take the test, and then enter the final big battle. Note, only 50 people will be reserved!"

Wang Tian and Sima Chong raised their hands at the same time.

There was a layer of sweat on the back of Bing Cao Shi. One was the son of the prefect of the county, and the other was a member of the royal family. Who should ask first?
Out of the corner of his eye, the head of the pavilion was gone (took two steps back).

Officials are rarely stupid.Cao Shi, the soldier, pointed to the center of Wang Tian and Sima Chong.Who do you love!
The two young men did their part and spoke at the same time, each asking their own questions.

"What does my waiting for the competition have to do with the craftsman's exam next to me?"

"What's the meaning of a big fight? Do you want me to bully those weak craftsmen who can only chop bamboo and forge iron? Haha, ouch!" Wang Tian just put his hips on his hips and smiled when he was kicked in the back by Huan Zhen.

　Bing Cao Shi, Du Ting Zhang: Both are the names of county officials in the Jin Dynasty.Bing Cao manages the local military, and the pavilion chief is responsible for public security and arrest.Ren Suzhi in the novel is the head of an ordinary wild pavilion.
