Villager of Daming

Chapter 359 Village Layout Minister Zeng (fifth change)
On the seventh day of May, people in Xiaqiu Village relaxed a lot, and they didn't want more outsiders to disturb them.

Now that the gardens have been built and the sheds have been repaired, there is no shortage of ponds, pavilions, corridors and so on.

Going down from a high place, there is a rail car, and you can go down when you brake all the way, and you can step on flat ground.

When encountering an uphill position, stop pedaling and go up the stairs.

Every downhill low point has a staircase with steel wire ropes on the top of the stairs, and the car is suspended under the wire ropes.

It is a cable car. After the villagers go up the stairs, they take the cable car back. The height of this side is higher than the other side, so they can pull the brakes and slide down.

As for how to get back from this cable car?It's very simple, the cable is connected, lift it manually, and then slide back with another one with different heights.

There is a rope on the rail car, and the hydraulic power of the river is used to hang it on the winch and pull the car back.

It's not a matter of laziness, but the village is testing the application of technology.

The steel wire rope is braided together by many strands of steel wire with the aid of a machine, and its various properties after tension are tested.

The villagers knew what Hanhan was going to do. To connect the two sides of the Yangtze River, a cable car is now used. When the two banks are connected, a few steel cables will be used to build a suspension bridge.

Right now, testing is under way. Every day, someone sits on the cable car and uses a magnifying glass to see how hard it is to weave the steel wire rope.

If the test is successful, you can cross the Yangtze River.

Suspension bridges have always existed, but the span of the Yangtze River is too large, and the weight of the steel wire rope is in it. At the same time, the two sides must be tightened. Whether the steel wire rope will break is the most critical.

"What is this?" A man wearing a third-rank official uniform came to Xiaqiu Village here under the guidance of an eunuch.

When the villagers saw it, they ignored it, and went about their own business. They were only third grade, usually servants.

The assistant minister is very important outside, but he is nothing in Xiaqiu Village. The key point is that he can't manage Xiaqiu Village.

"Zeng Shilang, this is the high-altitude cableway in Xiaqiu Village. The other end is powered by water. We went uphill just now. We can sit, take the stairs, and then take the slide to the village."

The eunuch explained to Zeng Lu that Zeng Lu is still Doctor Zhongshun and Minister of Rites.

He came to see a doctor today, and the people from the Tai Hospital had seen him before, and there was nothing wrong.

He thought he was fine, but Wei Su was brought back, plus the drought in the large area before and the drought in Shandong, he was afraid.

Zhu Yuanzhang told him that the expert in Xiaqiu Village said to write two separate letters.

One of them said that it was dangerous, so we sent a team there immediately, and it seemed that it was going to die when we got there. Now we are staying in the library, and there are still imperial doctors going there every day.

The other letter is about you, let the imperial doctor show it to you, no problem, go to Xiaqiu Village to see it, it's up to you.

Zeng Lu chooses...Look!

He doesn't want to die either!I am not too old to work for the court.

So he came here. He had never found an opportunity in Xiaqiu Village before, but now he saw a set of things that he had never seen before, and he was very surprised.

"Willow, willow tree!" "Hug, hug."

As Zeng Lu was walking, he heard a voice suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw an old woman teaching a little doll to read.

The child is too young to tell the difference even if he looks at the pictures and reads the words, so he will work hard to learn from the adults.

"It's okay to hug, but unfortunately you are too young to hug." The old woman was not angry at all, but kissed the baby.

The little baby was kissed, raised his head and giggled, his calf kicked, and his saliva flowed down.

"Flowers, flowers, spring is coming, flowing water is coming to my house, green trees and green mountains are slanting outside the country, clouds, clouds, mulberry and hemp, when mulberry and hemp are harvested, on the Double Ninth Day, the setting sun once turned into chrysanthemums. Flowers, flowers..."

As Zeng Lu was walking, a child's voice came from in front of him, he turned a little, and a group of children were jumping around. The rope under his feet...is that tendon?
The children talked, jumped and jumped up and down according to the rhythm, and sometimes their legs flew up, and their bodies were parallel to the ground.

"Master Zeng, this is a rubber band dance. Most people can't do this kind of movement. It feels like flying in the sky." The eunuch introduced again.

"This is a change to the poem. Instead of talking about the wine and talking about the old chrysanthemum, Meng Haoran's. I can't dance, the rhythm is too fast. I have old arms and legs, and I don't have enough bones to fall."

Zeng Lu shook his head. He always knew that Xiaqiu Village was great. When he went to that village, a group of older children, that is, young people, studied hard all day long.

However, other people were unwilling to show up more. They came here today, and they were unprepared. They saw the cultural atmosphere of Xiaqiu Village.

When everyone in a village can read and write, everyone can do arithmetic, and children are destined to receive a different education from birth than in other villages.

It's not an aristocratic family. People in this aristocratic family are assigned to other places and will teach their children.

It is the whole village, all the children grow up and learn together, there is no need to hire someone from outside to teach, amazing!

"Where are their older children?" Zeng Lu couldn't help thinking of another group of teenagers.

"Practice handwriting! Sir Zeng, please." The chief's voice appeared, and he stood at the door of the sacrificial hall waiting for the other party to arrive.

"Master Zhu." Zeng Lu clasped his fists and saluted.

He didn't dare to underestimate the other party. When the other party was with His Majesty, he could answer questions fluently. When asked about military affairs, he answered military affairs, when asked about economics, he answered economics, and when asked about government affairs, he answered government affairs.

And this is just the result of more than three years of learning, who were pushed to the front.

It shows that the head of the family is as smart as when he was a child, but he has no chance to meet a good master.

Unlike myself, I have the opportunity to study in a school, and the conditions at home are good.

He entered the sacrificial hall with the head of the village, without the head of the village reminding him, he took the initiative to come to the memorial tablet to offer incense.

They were then led to a side room next to them. After entering, there was a wooden wall with a hole in front of them.

"Master Zeng, put your arm in, it's inconvenient for someone to see guests." The chief reminded.

"Okay!" Zeng Lu stretched his left arm in, feeling that his wrist was supported on the pulse pillow, and his fingers touched the pulse.

The fingers are constantly rising and falling, this is no problem, the imperial doctor also diagnoses the pulse in this way.

After more than a quarter of an hour, his hand was pushed out, and just as he was about to put down his sleeves and stand up, the chief pointed out: "The right arm."

"Oh!" Zeng Lu stretched out another arm, the same as before, and was pushed out again for the same quarter of an hour.

"Okay, what does Assistant Zeng want to eat for lunch? I've come here, so I'm not in a hurry to go back." The head of the village said to Zeng Lu.

"Is it okay to eat tofu? I eat some tofu every day. I don't want meat. I don't like meat. It's better to have boiled soybeans and pickles. I have more at home to accompany meals."

Zeng Lu is not polite. It's not that he has never eaten the food cooked in Xiaqiu Village, so he can just let it go here, and he doesn't need to think too much.

"It's so simple, Zeng Shilang came out with me, over there to watch the children practice calligraphy?" The head of the village invited the other party to teach the children calligraphy.

Otherwise, he can't arrange it, so let the other party read the Four Books and Five Classics?The other party has long been able to recite it.

Zeng Lu was really willing to watch the teenagers in Xiaqiu Village study, so he followed.

Zhu Wentian's little friends practiced their calligraphy very seriously. When the head of the village and Zeng Lu arrived, no one paid any attention to them.

Followed like a eunuch, trying not to show any sense of presence, he was going to have a good meal here at noon.
