Lu Dynasty

Chapter 442 Ma Jun Apprenticeship
I hurriedly pulled Ma Jun up and said, "What is Deheng doing? Didn't you promise to help me realize my dream of creation? I will naturally tell you what I know. It must be done step by step! I Even if I tell you everything I know, it won’t be clear in a day or two!” To be honest, those knowledge about physics, nature, geography, etc., my buddy started learning in elementary school and is still involved in it after graduating from university. Even if you don't need to tell Ma Jun from the basics, you can't finish it in a day or two, and I have been in the Han Dynasty for more than 20 years, and I can't remember everything.

"My lord, I just realized now that it's not I who help you realize your dream, but you who help me realize my dream! You know what I want to do, even more than I do, in more detail. But I don't know you What else do you know. But I understand that the knowledge in your chest must be much higher than mine! Therefore, I want to worship you as my teacher. If I let my master know the master's ability, I think he will worship you as a teacher!" Ma Jun looked at me very sincerely and asked me, but I didn't know how to answer him.

"Deheng, I just know some principles. If you ask me how I know it, I can only tell you that I learned it in a dream. This is by no means perfunctory. But I really only know some principles. Like the compass I just made, the magnetic force on the needle will disappear after a short time, and neither the thread nor the water bowl is convenient to carry, so I hope you can create a better one based on the principles I told you. As for apprenticeship, Deheng, if you are not afraid of others saying that you are treacherous and flattering, I will accept you!" The ancient people cared most about reputation, and I believe that Ma Jun would shrink back because of the disparity in status.

Sure enough, Ma Jun hesitated for a long time, and suddenly he said with a smile: "Master, I want to learn crafts as a teacher, and I don't want everyone to know! I usually call you Lord in front of people. I call you Master. The matter of apprenticeship is known by heaven and earth, and no one else knows!" Well, why do I feel that Ma Jun is a bit like Wei Xiaobao, but luckily I don't have a princess for him.Even if there is one now, it belongs to the Liu family!

Looking at Ma Jun, I felt a little helpless, but seeing the hope on his face, I really couldn't bear to refuse!I said depressedly: "In this case, I will accept you as an apprentice! However, being my apprentice is not good, and it is very painful. You have to be prepared!"

Ma Jun was overjoyed. He quickly knelt down in front of me and said, "Apprentice Ma Jun pays homage to Master! Master, don't worry. Disciple is afraid of everything but not suffering. Back then, Master Zheng Hun learned to forge and roasted by the stove every day. Master said that Xiao Yuanzi and I are the most able to endure hardships among the disciples, so we learned his skills!"

Looking at Ma Jun's appearance, I broke out in a cold sweat. It seems that this person is still a workaholic!In this case, I will let him work hard.I smiled and said, "Deheng, last time the waterwheel benefited the country and the people, now I still have one thing that can improve the lives of the Han people, but this time it's not that simple, because I don't know how to do it Come out, I only know how to improve it, are you interested in studying it?"

Ma Jun said excitedly: "Master, the more difficult things are, the more I like them. Please tell me what they are!"

"A few days ago, your mistress was weaving at home. I saw that the loom she used was really exhausting! It has fifty knives, and the weaving is still slow! Think about it, is there any way to make it Easier and more convenient for weaving?" Since Ma Jun likes to work, let's satisfy him, first let him make all the instruments invented and improved by himself in history, and then study other things!

"Master, it's really difficult, but don't worry, I'm sure I can figure it out! By the way, tell me if you have anything else that can be studied!" Ma Jun is so greedy!

"Let's do one thing first! Look at how many things you have hoarded in your hand! Keel waterwheel, hair stone machine, compass, silk weaving machine, these four things are related to the livelihood of the military and the people! You haven't researched it yet, even if I will give you some more setup and principles, do you have time to study? Be careful not to chew too much! Since it is going to be released, we will produce high-quality products!" In fact, there are still many things in my heart that Ma Jun can study, such as printing , as well as the profit and loss Liannu, and even the legendary wooden cow and horse.Because the manufacturing method of wooden ox and horse has been handed down, but later generations don't know how to restore it.After all, the modern society is all about steel, and there are no truly dexterous carpenters like Ma Jun.Moreover, with cars, who has the time to study ancient things that are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and have no economic benefits.Without the support of the state, unless there are big bosses, rich people, and ordinary people, who has the funds to study those things!And those big bosses look at money every day, even if there is a rich man who is interested in ancient crafts, but he doesn't have outstanding carpentry and the ability to understand ancient classical Chinese!
Ma Jun knew that if he didn't figure out what I had already given him, I wouldn't give him new tasks and principles.He smiled and said to me: "Master, I'll go back and work with Xiao Yuanzi to get out the keel waterwheel, and I'm doing research on other things!"

"Don't forget, the original intention of our keel waterwheel is to bring water out of the well to irrigate the farmland! If I just build a waterwheel, do I still need you? It's such a simple matter, just find a carpenter. Already!" Apart from the mountains and hills in China, other places in China are very suitable for well irrigation, especially the central plains which are often arid.Of course, the places close to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River need to control the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to prevent them from flooding!
"Master, don't worry, I've already dug all the wells for the experiment, and I'll just wait for Xiao Yuanzi to get the waterwheel out!" I ordered it!Ma Jun successfully dug out the research and development work of the compass and silk loom from me, and left with satisfaction, and my work is basically completed, so I am ready to go home!

Just as I was about to leave the office, Guo Jia walked into my room and said, "My lord, someone is holding a small silver order to see you!" Su came to make it a token.The main function is to attract talents.Since the Jimin restaurant was just started at that time and the funds were short of money, it didn’t build much. Now there is someone holding a silver token to vote for. I’m really excited, because the people who can get my silver token are all heroes in the late Han Dynasty. For example, Zhuge Jungong and Xu Yuanzhi back then!
