Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 434 Meet the Master

The waterwheel is very huge, it is just placed by the river, and it is a structure of gears. The water tanks are pushed by the water flow, and the gears rotate, so that the whole waterwheel brings a box of water to the river, and then leaks into the side. In the sink.

  The sink leads directly to a glass workshop in the distance, and a large amount of water will be used for cooling.

Wang Shouren said: "This waterwheel was rebuilt by a young man named Huang Yin. You see, many places are very exquisite. It can draw more than 10,000 barrels of water from the river every day. The students want to ask Wen Sir, what happened to Huang Yin?"

  Wen Suchen said: "It's just a craftsman."

Wang Shouren shook his head: "That's not right. If the students tell Mr. Wen again, before this, when there was no water truck, it would take fifty laborers to draw water. In the severe cold and scorching heat, carrying water back and forth, then, Mr. Wen, what do you think?"

  Wen Suchen was silent for a moment: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Wang Shouren said: "What I want to say is actually something that couldn't be easier. Think about it, Mr. Wen. Fifty people, they are the people of my Ming Dynasty. Maybe their labor is cheap, but they are here to carry water." , What a painstaking job, do you know, sir, that their shoes will be worn out in half a month, and they have been out of breath for many years, and sometimes they can't even straighten their waists?"

"Actually, why do they want to do labor? Everyone hopes that they can have a good job, but there is no water truck, so someone has to do it. They are the most low-level people in Ming Dynasty, and now, they don't need After such a lot of hard work, only a few people need to watch the waterwheel, and the rest can be apprentices in the workshop. Huang Yin built a waterwheel, which saved countless energy and even improved the production in the workshop. , then, is it behavior, is it the way of a sage?"

Without waiting for Wen Suchen to answer, Wang Shouren replied first: "Yes, his behavior is the way of a saint. You and I both have the heart of a saint, and everyone is implementing the way of a saint. There are Taos everywhere in the world." , we can’t because, just as Shennong’s taste of hundreds of herbs is the way of a sage, so it’s the same for Huangyin to build a waterwheel. Shennong’s great benefit to the world, and Huangyin’s small benefit to the world.”

  Wen Suchen was silent for a long time.

  He couldn't open his mouth to say, this Huang Yin is just a person with strange skills and ingenuity. After all, the waterwheel came out and really benefited people a lot.

  Wen Suchen sighed inwardly, and had to say that he had already lost.

Wen Suchen shook his head: "I don't agree with what you said." But he still glanced at Wang Shouren. At this point in the debate, it is difficult to really convince the other party, but Wen Suchen thought about it and sighed: "But old man, I also know What you said makes sense and has been taught."

  He actually bowed his hand to Wang Shouren.

  Wang Shouren's many words made him think deeply, although he still thought he should be right.

  But now, it would be rude to continue to pester Wang Shouren, so he chose to give Wang Shouren the respect he deserved.

  Wang Shouren replied: "The words of the teacher have also benefited the students a lot."

  Seeing this, other people actually understood in their hearts that Wang Shouren is still superior. This is no longer a question of whose knowledge is good or bad.

  Someone in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, as if...everything was going well, and he didn't let himself continue to worry.

  Wen Suchen then said again: "Actually, I have one more matter. I want to ask for advice. I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

   "The new school has just emerged. Thinking about it, there are also good and bad disciples. I heard that some new school disciples take credit for themselves. Is there such a thing?"

   Sure enough, this matter was brought up.

   But Wen Suchen has already been more tactful.

  Wang Shouren said: "I don't know who the disciple Mr. Wen mentioned is?"

  In the crowd, Liu Jian was a little annoyed. This Wen Suchen is really bold. Doesn't this mean scolding his son directly?

   But great Confucians are like this. They scold people when they catch them, and they don’t plan to become officials. You have nothing to do with him.

  Wen Suchen said: "Ju Ren Liu Jie."

  Wang Shouren nodded, he wanted to say something.

   But Fang Jifan said sharply: "Liu Jie!"

   With a loud shout, the sound shook the rubble.

   Liu Jie came out in a hurry.

Many people commented in low voices that this incident was widely spread and everyone knew it. Many people were thinking that this Liu Jie was Liu Jian's son. Today, there must be a lesson to preserve the reputation of Xishan Academy. Bar.

  Liu Jie came to Fang Jifan's feet and bowed to the ground: "Student Liu Jie, I have met my master."

  Do you want to do something?

   There is such a big commotion, if you don’t beat them up, why have you just given an explanation to the world.

  Actually, Emperor Hongzhi had never seen how Fang Jifan beat someone up, and in his heart...he had some expectation.

  Liu Jian felt distressed in the crowd and wanted to stand up, but he knew that it was very inconvenient for him, so it was better not to come out in person.

  The rest of the people have their own concerns and really want to see Fang Jifan clean up the house.

  Fang Jifan said: "Liu Jie, what have you done?"

   "Disciple..."

   Liu Jie said: "Has the disciple not done anything?"

   "Really?" Fang Jifan raised his eyes and looked at Wen Suchen: "Mr. Wen...what do you think?"

  Wen Suchen said: "Liu Jie, the son of the prime minister at the time, made great contributions to the Joseon Dynasty, but..."

  He still finished speaking.

   Among the crowd, someone almost rushed out, and then came to Fang Jifan.

  This person... looks a little strange.

   is a young man.

  He looked excited.

  Look at Fang Jifan, look at Wang Shouren, and then look at Liu Jie.

   After taking a deep breath, he... fell to his knees with a puff.

  Who is this person?

  Everyone was talking.

  Emperor Hongzhi, Monk Zhanger, couldn't figure it out, frowned slightly, and stared, feeling more and more incredible.

   "Disciple Li Yi, I have met the master!"

   After Li Yi finished speaking, he fell to the ground.

  Of course he knew that if it wasn't for the master's plan, he might have died tragically. Now, under the master's arrangement, he has the opportunity to escape from the sky and become the king.

  This time I came to Beijing, apart from meeting the Emperor Ming, I also wanted to meet my master. This master is a great kindness. Learning his skills, even a little bit, is enough to benefit me for a lifetime.

   "..."

  Li Yi...

  Who is Li Yi?

  Everyone was dumbfounded.

  Someone thought of something. The surname of the Korean clan was Li. I heard that the newly established King of the Li Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty was named Li Yi.

  Master... Grandfather...

  The eyeballs of Wen Suchen who was smiling just now were about to fall out.

  Emperor Hongzhi stretched out his hand, cracking his fingers, counting silently in his heart.

   No, he's not alone.

  Liu Jian was also trembling, took out his hand, and snapped his fingers.

  The word "shizu" means seniority is too high, it is difficult for ordinary people to calm down, without using their fingers, they may not be able to figure it out.

  Many people snapped their fingers.

  Wang Shouren is a disciple of Fang Jifan.

  Liu Jie worshiped under Wang Shouren.

   And Li Yi called Fang Jifan his master...

this…

  This dignified king of North Korea, Li Yi, actually...had he joined Liu Jie's sect?

too frightening.

  Everyone looked at the relationship between the four generations of the master's school, and the relationship in your courtyard, it's really messy.

Li Yi bowed respectfully and respectfully, kowtowed to Fang Jifan again, and said in an official dialect with a certain regional accent: "I have come across the ocean, and I have always hoped to listen to the teachings of my master. The ancestor was a man of great talent and learning. Since his apprentice became a mentor, he has been studying Chinese and Sinology. Now the Chinese language has improved and he can master it proficiently. Only Sinology is as vast as smoke. If you can't learn everything, the status of the students is different, you should have come to pay respects, but it's just because of etiquette, so... I dare not come to see the master..."

   "..."

  Everyone is still in a daze.

  Looking at this scene like a dream.

  Wen Suchen's face twitched.

  This...what's the matter?

  Li Yi said again: "Although the student is the king of North Korea, he can come here because he hopes that he can study for a year or so with Shizu, Shigong, and mentor. Shizu, do you think... you are right?"

  What?

  Still...still silent.

  Now everyone has accepted the fact that the one who knelt down was the king of North Korea, Li Yi.

   This Joseon king, so young?

   Unexpectedly, the Chinese of the king of Joseon was so good.

  It seems...with a somewhat Luoyang accent, ah, isn’t this the legendary saying?

   Terrible.

  Fang Jifan looked at Wen Suchen, who obviously couldn't accept the fact in front of him.

Although he raised these things in a tactful manner, it was actually meant to curb new learning. Liu Jie is the son of the prime minister. Come to think of it, you Xishan Academy must treat him as a treasure, right? Then this person is rude, you deal with it If you don't deal with it, if you don't deal with it, this is to indulge the students' rudeness, deal with it... Come on, as a bystander, I really want to watch a good show.

  Even if you can't argue in the debate, at least...have fun before leaving.

  Fang Jifan's eyes met Wen Suchen's, almost, Wen Suchen's eyes were obviously desperate.

  In view of the fact that everyone wants to watch the excitement, I want to know how rigorous the academic atmosphere of Xishan Academy is.

  In addition, it is true that the team is too big. If you don’t give the disciples and grandchildren a little bit of power, the team will not be easy to lead in the future.

  Fang Jifan took a deep breath, raised his leg, and kicked it out.

   "..."

  Everyone gasped, Uncle Xinjian really has no tolerance for sand in his eyes, he is strict in his studies! The rumors were true.

   Like this... all beatings?

   This kick was not aimed at Liu Jie, but Li Yi, firmly kicking the kneeling Li Yi to the ground.

Fang Jifan yelled: "What? You're a bitch! You just popped up now and wronged your mentor. You still want to learn from me. You are like a dog. You have learned half-baked Chinese. You have the face to say that you are proficient in Chinese, do you want face?"

   "..."

  ...

  These chapters are too difficult to write. It took me a long time to write them out. I was so tired. I sat at the computer for two and a half hours before writing a chapter.
