Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 142 Ye Kingdom Creation

Zheng Quchi guessed that he should be planning to make an ornamental ornament.

As for what it is, we have to look at the combination of other components before we can draw a conclusion.

But there is a saying, look at the design through the essence, and distinguish the performance of the equipment through the external equipment.

But there are rules for everything built using architectural structures. If a large-scale ornament like his wants to have an impact on design elements and visual aspects, it must be innovative and refined components.

Among other things, this will inevitably consume a lot of time and energy. He alone is not greedy enough to swallow an elephant. Even if a few more people are added, in just eight or nine days, he can only produce one thing that is anticlimactic. .

After all, the visual beautification of the surface may not necessarily be outstanding.

So, nine times out of ten, this piece...wouldn't have been chosen.

Zheng Quchi continued to walk forward, and several craftsmen were discussing fiercely, and she vaguely heard the conversation.

"I was born as a bowman. Tell me, it is not feasible to make a bow to shoot the sun, but it is possible to bend a bow and shoot a big eagle?"

Bow man?

According to the contents of the kaogongji, general carpenters are subdivided into seven major types of work: wheel, yu, bow, hu, carpenter, cart, and catalpa.

Wheels are specially made wheels.

Yu, a model worker of carriages and the like.

bow, archer.

Lu: Lu ware, that is, the handles of knives, swords, daggers, halberds, halberds, and other weapons.

Carpenter: Workers who build houses and the like.

Azusa: This type of work is more complicated, mainly wooden musical instruments, but also makes some archery targets, drinking vessels and so on.

"You don't understand. I refer to the works of the Jichun Artisan Union in the past years. The flowers are like a brocade. The craftsmanship is beautiful and practical. Your bow is designed to reduce the force and increase the number of shots. Although it is practical, it is not good-looking. It makes people look at it. not on."

"It is said that this year's judges are people with seven surnames from six countries, and they must be stricter than in previous years. After all, there are many outstanding works in the past few years. Ordinary wooden crafts do lack some eye-catching feeling. "

"But time is tight and the task is heavy, so we don't need to think about large equipment. Let's think about making something unexpected."

"How about making a hundred treasures?"

The "hundred treasure inlay" in his mouth is to inlay a variety of processed precious materials on the same utensil, so as to achieve the purpose of highlighting the theme of the composition and strengthening the decorative effect.

This kind of Zheng Quchi inlaid with hundreds of treasures has been seen in the exhibition hall. It is a Song artwork. It is based on the mother-of-pearl inlay technique, adding gems, ivory, coral, jade and other materials to form the inlay technique.

Relevant information appeared in Zheng Quchi's mind, but she thought that no one would agree to this proposal.

really.

"Even if we go bankrupt, we still can't make up a hundred treasures, let alone how to embed that gemstone on the utensil? Can we make this craft more skillfully than those bums in the Kucha Kingdom? Don't let the whole nondescript thing come out, it will make you laugh."

"I am good at carving large pear wood cabinets in the south. We can make one more than ten feet high, and then design colorful designs on it. It is not necessary to embed treasures, but to carve lions offering treasures. The scene is magnificent, and then inlaid with gold. corners, creating a rich and tight line..."

"But is there enough time?"

"I don't think so...but we can make it in a hurry. The carving part is the most time-consuming. We can find more people to help..."

The furniture in Fu County has always been monotonous and common in style, bloated and bulky, practical and beautiful, not to mention the introduction of carving techniques. This person has a good idea. Listening to his description, Zheng Quchi is looking forward to their works .

I just listened to three conversations.

One is obviously good at structural frames, one is good at exterior sculpture, and the other is good at aesthetic art and time planning, but it is a suitable small group.

Then, she continued to move forward.

She saw a craftsman wanting to be unconventional and make a pile of strangely shaped wood, but unfortunately the craftsmanship was not worthy of the idea, and he kept sighing and scrapping batch after batch of wood.

Buddy, if we really can't do it, let's join, one person counts the short and the other counts the long.

After losing a hair for him, she walked up again until she saw a craftsman named Zheng Quchi and was amazed.

It's almost halfway done.

When did you start preparing for this?
It’s just that she looks a little familiar... Take a closer look, isn’t this the plus version of the soil starter she made before?

Don't think that if you wear an "enhanced" coat, I won't recognize you.

All simple lifting is done with a single girder jib, a winch, a rope and a block of pulleys.

Her soil lifter is the most primitive fixed pulley block, but it is a compound block. Two blocks with different diameters are installed on the same shaft. The pulley turns and hoists things up.

Among them, she designed the weight reduction design and steering gear.

In the chapter "Sun Tzu: Attacking Strategy", it is discussed that when capturing an enemy city, a chariot with towers must be built. The nest chariot is a kind of movable watchtower with a pulley on the pole. It can be seen that the tackle has been expanded to be used in military affairs during the Spring and Autumn Period. .

According to the historical process, someone should have designed it in this era. She once asked other people and learned that there was actually a fixed pulley in this era, but it was only a single pulley and a potter's wheel, which made the fortifications too ineffective.

Therefore, her earthenware is equivalent to an inspiration to create and improve...

For example, this craftsman, he may have been inspired by it.

"Tiangong Kaiwu·Zuoxian" describes the machine for extracting brine from wells in Shu Province, which consists of a potter's wheel and two fixed pulleys, and the potter's wheel is pulled by oxen as power.

Not to mention, she looked at the drawings on the materials, but it was very similar to the equipment built by the craftsman right now.

If he can really do it, it is indeed a good thing that benefits the people.

Looking around, everyone was very busy, but she seemed to be very idle.

To be honest, I haven't seen the particularly amazing ones, after all, Zheng Quchi has never seen anything weird in modern society.

But to say that it is useful to the people and the people's livelihood, there are many. They are all developing their own abilities and creating things that benefit the people and the country as much as they can.

"What is this feeling called?"

Zheng Quchi felt as if he had stepped into the tide of history. Will what they do in the future be recorded in the historical records, and will be studied, discussed, and admired by future generations?
Analyzing feudal society in light of modern history, low productivity shows that the level of science and technology is underdeveloped.

But the era she is in now is not as restrictive as her world and emphasizes agriculture. Industrial and commercial people can also develop, but they are still firmly in the hands of the state.

In this way, development is also inhibited. Rich businessmen lack the motivation to improve technology. When society's technology is basically standing still, without technological progress, it is impossible for agriculture and fortifications to make progress.

When the level of productivity is maintained at a low level, this is the reason why Ye State is currently lagging behind and being criticized.

The development of commerce is the main driving force to stimulate scientific and technological progress, but who would buy things produced in Ye country?

In the minds of everyone, the things produced by Ye Kingdom are all labeled as inferior, poor, uninnovative, rough, unsold, etc. Labels.

She thought that if Ye Kingdom wanted to develop, it had to innovate.

Let the people below create wealth. We can no longer just be satisfied with self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency, and support the country with the people. It is not through exploitation, but innovation and prosperity to stimulate economic development.

Alas, it's useless to worry about the country and the people. The first step now is to find a way to win money so that her car can be successfully launched.

On the first day when he came to the camp, Zheng Quchi basically just familiarized himself with the surrounding environment, and then it was almost dark.

Some craftsmen rushed to work desperately and refused to leave work, and some had no thoughts for a while, so they left work early.

Everyone is immersed in the enthusiasm for creation, even if a newcomer is mixed in among them, they just treat her as a wooden stake and don't pay much attention to it.

Zheng Quchi originally planned to fight alone, and her goal was also to win at the Jichun Craftsman's Union.

But after going around for a while, she felt that she could actually win with them. They have their shortcomings, and she also has them. Therefore, if you want to defeat the powerful craftsmen of other countries, it is best to work together and form a rope. .

She wants to win, and she will do whatever it takes.

Although she doesn't want to be a general's wife, she wants to be a valuable and accomplished craftsman.

Who doesn't want to shine in her own industry and achieve a career, she is not "not fighting or grabbing" as they say, she also has her ambitions, she wants to become a master of Baigong, and she also wants to start a business and become rich!

After expressing his great ideals, Zheng Quchi returned to reality.

She is poor and white, once she loses her job, she really has no money. If she is not a craftsman, what else can she do?
No, the city wall was repaired, and they still owed her two pennies. Yu Wensheng had promised her that she would give her a raise, and other things could be persuaded, but it was absolutely impossible to default on the wages of migrant workers, and she had to get the money back.

At this time, she remembered what Yu Wensheng told her before, saying that after work, someone would be sent to pick her up.

Seeing that people had almost left, she looked around and saw a handsome, dark-skinned young man in military armor waiting by the door.

This outfit, one can tell at a glance that it is not the dress of an ordinary soldier, at least he is also a petty officer in the army.

is it him?
She intentionally dragged it until the craftsmen were almost gone, and it was already dark. Seeing that no one noticed her side, she trotted over like an underground party leader: "Did that tell you to come pick me up?"

So... you mean the general?

The man was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Zheng Quchi, he respectfully said: "Madam, the general sent his subordinates to pick you up. His subordinates are called Runtu, Xuanjia Cavalry Supervisor."

Xuanjia cavalry governor?

What kind of position is this? It sounds awesome. She doesn't know much about these official positions in Ye State. The main reason is that she doesn't know much about the situation here. She better don't ask, so as not to expose her lack of knowledge.

Zheng Quchi raised a friendly smile and said, "That Runqi Supervisor, I want to go back to Hegou Village..."

Runtu nodded: "Madam, don't worry, the general has already made arrangements. His subordinates will escort you back in a carriage tonight, and we will send you back to the camp at dawn."

"He arranged it?"

She was stunned, she thought he sent Runtu to pick her up and take her to the main tent.

"Yes, the general said, Madam will definitely go home tonight, so I asked my subordinates to escort you. If you want to take off the disguise, I will take you to Mr. Fu first. If Madam feels that the makeup is fine, go back directly." .”

"What about him?"

"The general is busy."

"what's up?"

"Business."

"What business?"

"..."

Her solitaire-style questioning caused Runtu to respond in silence.

This soldier was really like a piece of wood, he answered every time, although he would not be silent, but he would never say a word.

Where did Yu Wensheng find this talent?Is it specifically to deal with someone like her who likes to make friends and inquire?
Seeing that he stopped talking, Zheng Quchi turned back to the main topic: "I won't unload it, so as to save trouble, if General Yuwen is not free, please send me back first, but please be careful not to be seen by anyone. "

"The general has explained this matter, madam, please wear this."

Runtu took out a curtain from behind and handed it to Zheng Quchi. She took it and put it on her head. The gauze covered her head to her feet... and even mopped the floor.

Runtu looked at it for a moment, and then apologized: "This is custom-made according to the height of my subordinates, and it is a little long. Madam, please be careful where you step."

Without specifically mentioning this, they can still be friends happily, didn't she see?

Zheng Quchi's slander belongs to his slander, but he still politely replied: "Thank you, Supervisor Run Qi, for reminding me."

"Ma'am, you're welcome." Runtu dared not accept it.

He asked someone to pull the carriage from behind, Zheng Quchi lifted the curtain and veil, climbed into the carriage on tiptoe, then lowered the curtain, and just sat down, she inadvertently heard the voices of Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong.

"Tell you to go so fast, where did he go?"

"How would I know? It's all work, why didn't he go back to the camp, maybe he didn't know where we live and got lost?"

This is pure nonsense, and you're not a child, don't you know how to ask when you can't find your way?

Apparently Shi Hetong also knew that Mu Gaoyi was just talking nonsense, he said: "Wei Jinwei handed over the person to us, but now he lost him, how should we explain this matter?"

"Whether you lost it or not, let's talk about it, let's find someone first." Mu Gaoyi was also annoyed.

When Zheng Quchi heard that these two people appeared here, it turned out that they were looking for her back.

Thinking about what she was going to do next... She switched back to a female voice, and called Runtu: "Director Runqi, please tell them for me that Ah Qing has already left first, so they don't need to look for me."

"Is it a subordinate?"

Runtu asked.

Didn't she just want others to find out that "Ah Ching" had a connection with him?
"Yes."

This is a moment.

In fact, Runtu also heard the conversation between the two, and after responding to the general's wife, he strode over and stopped Mu Gaoyi and Shi Hetong.

"Are you looking for Ah Qing?"

The two turned their heads, and by the light of the torches lit around the camp, they recognized that the person who came was Du Runqi.

They have never had any friendship with Governor Runqi, so they hurried forward to salute.

"So it's Duan Qidu." The two of them restrained their expressions and were a little cautious.

Unlike Wei Yao, who was always smiling and joking with them, Governor Run Qi was a real iron-blooded man with a cold and reticent temper. When they stood in front of him, they had to be careful even when they spoke, for fear of offending one of the commanders of the Fourth Army.

Suddenly, they woke up: "Ah Qing? Does Governor Runqi know Ah Qing?"

Runtu stared at them with calm and dark eyes: "She has gone back, let me tell you."

The two of them were suddenly dumbfounded: "Let you... you come and tell us?"

My god, who is this Ah Qing?
Even the governor of Runqi can order her to run away and give her a word?
