Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"Look at your memory! Mr. Zhang, don't worry, you'll hear about this next time."

A little embarrassed, he cupped his hands in the direction of Zhang Yan. Since he was born in an ordinary family, Wei Xian, who had not received much education, didn't know whether to use his left hand or his right hand, so he turned towards Zhang Yan nonchalantly. He bowed in Yan's direction.

After seeing Zhang Yan waving his hand, he also stood up and introduced to Zhang Yan loudly.

"My lord, this is Mr. Zhang Ju from the Zhang family in Nanyang. He and you belong to the same family, but I don't know if the ancestors are from the same lineage."

"Before we were able to complete the construction of the sundial as scheduled, we relied on the help of a lot of Mr. Zhang Ju, so we lived up to your expectations, the master."

"In the early days, before I met you, I ran into Mr. Zhang Ju's chariot while hunting. At that time, Mr. Zhang Ju also bought some prey from me. That's how we got to know each other. "

"Although Mr. Zhang Ju is a son of a noble family, he is the same as you, the master, and has no resistance or rejection towards rough people like us. Therefore, he has a good relationship with me and will contact me from time to time. Go out together and hire me as a hunting guide."

Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, Wei Xian pointed to the relatively older scholar and introduced in Zhang Yan's direction.And since that Mr. Zhang Ju and Zhang Yan have the same surname, Wei Xian no longer called Zhang Yan Mr. Zhang at this time, but directly used the name of the master's family instead.

As for Zhang Ju, he naturally stood up, saluted in Zhang Yan's direction with a smile, then spoke up, followed by Wei Xian's words, and introduced himself relatively formally.

"My next Zhangju and Zhang Yuanzhou are descendants of the Zhang family in Nanyang, the fifth grandson of Zhang Pingzi. I have met the Marquis of Wan here."

He introduced himself in the direction of Zhang Yan, and saw that although Zhang Ju was not amazing, with a lot of dullness in his brows, but when he mentioned his origin, he was quite happy , a very proud look.

After hearing the other party's introduction, Zhang Yan suddenly turned pale with shock. He stood up suddenly from behind the desk, and looked in the direction of the dull man in front of him with an expression of disbelief.

"The fifth grandson of Zhang Pingzi?"

"Are you the contemporary descendant of Ke Sheng, one of the Nanyang Five Sages?!"

Looking at the dull man in disbelief, Zhang Yan was still a little puzzled before. He didn't seem to have heard of the existence of any famous Zhang family in Nanyang, so he didn't think of the so-called Zhang family in Nanyang for a while. Where the hell is it?

After hearing that the other party claimed to be the fifth grandson of Zhang Pingzi, he suddenly remembered that among the most famous figures in Nanyang, there happened to be one person with the same surname as Zhang Ju.

This person is the "Sage Sage" Zhang Yan mentioned earlier - Zhang Pingzi.

……

As we all know, in this Nanyang territory, there have been five most outstanding global talents throughout the ages. Each of them has made quite outstanding contributions in their own fields, and they are also recorded in the In the history books, it is regarded as the existence of the ancestors of these industries in later generations to be enshrined.

And these five people are the five sages who are famous in the world for "mou", "business", "science", "wisdom" and "medicine". No matter which one of them is taken out, it is a world-famous person who will be familiar to people in later generations by mentioning his name.

Leaving aside the two sages, Jiang Ziya, who is a "sage seeker" and Fan Li, who is a "sage of business", it is just that among the remaining three sages born in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are two surnamed "Zhang". And Zhang Pingzi, the "sage of science" that Zhang Yan said was one of them.

Different from the other sages, who are only famous for their outstanding achievements in the fields they are good at, this "Science Sage" is not only good at the line of investigating things and knowing things that he is good at, but also a master of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty. A rare astronomer, mathematician, geographer, and even a writer.

As for his other name, it is Zhang Heng, one of the most outstanding inventors in Chinese history, the great mathematician who invented the armillary celestial seismograph.

PS: In the last chapter, I saw someone asking about the ballad. Here the author explains:

Chapter 45 Zhang Ju

"Ke Sheng...?"

"Ah, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, you are absurdly praised, really absurdly praised!"

Hearing the word Kesheng in Zhang Yan's mouth, Zhang Ju, who was sitting by the side at the moment, didn't react immediately, but was startled by the other party's sudden action.

And when he realized that Zhang Yan's action was also praising his ancestor Zhang Heng, and honoring Zhang Heng as a sage, Zhang Ju's somewhat dull face couldn't help but flushed suddenly, and at the same time, he quickly expressed his humility.

"My ancestor was the Shangshu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was famous for his skillful carpentry. I think the person you mentioned in the Marquis of Wan Kingdom is my ancestor."

"However, if this subject is called a sage, it is unavoidably a bit too much. Please take it back. The descendants of the Zhang family appreciate this kindness."

A little embarrassed, he scratched the back of his head at Zhang Yan. Even Zhang Ju himself has always been proud of his ancestor Zhang Heng, and since he was a child, he has determined to become a master who is proficient in the art of investigating things and knowing like Zhang Heng, but if he His ancestors turned into sages who stood side by side with the most holy teacher Kong Qiu and the sub-sage Meng Ke, even Zhang Hengchui, who has always been, feels a little embarrassed.

However, although it is difficult to accept Zhang Yan's statement, Zhang Ju couldn't help but feel a little happy from the bottom of his heart when he heard someone praise his ancestor so much. It is a little heartening to see that the era when governing the country and governing the world is the most important thing can still retain such a lofty position in people's hearts.

In his short life of more than 20 years, although he relied on the shadow of his ancestors, Zhang Ju still received some basic respect and respect.

But if he is praised so heartfeltly by a person of high status as he is now, it is the only novel experience for Zhang Ju.

As early as a few days ago, he heard from a friend living in Luoyang that there was a person in the imperial capital who did not know people with a book breath, but buried himself in the grassroots, and has been committed to improving the people at the bottom. Mr. Pianpian, who has the most basic living conditions, can't help but feel deeply that the other party and his ancestors are generally quite practical people, so he brought an old friend who was a guest of Nanyang generation and his family at that time, and came to this Luoyang together. The city wants to visit each other.

But today, when I finally got to see him, Zhang Ju suddenly felt a lot of affection for Zhang Yan from a small behavior of the other party. This trip to Luoyang can be regarded as quite rewarding, and this trip is worthwhile.

Just standing up and bowing in the direction of Zhang Yan from afar, Zhang Ju first supported Zhang Yan to sit down, and then remembered another strange word Zhang Yan mentioned earlier, so he suddenly felt a slight of curiosity.

"Zhang is very grateful for the kindness of the Marquis of Wan today... I just don't know who are the five saints of Nanyang you mentioned earlier, apart from Zhang's ancestors, who are the other four who can stand up to the Marquis of Wan?" You praise it so much?"

Looking at Zhang Yan curiously, Zhang Ju couldn't help asking the other party aloud.Even though he, as a native of Nanyang gentry, has always been deeply impressed by the abundance of talents in this area of ​​Nanyang since ancient times, but he has never heard of the five sages of Nanyang, so he can't help but be very concerned about this area. The four people juxtaposed with their ancestors felt a little strange.

On the other side, Zhang Yan, who smiled and waved to the other party, heard the question, and then opened his mouth to explain softly to the other party.

"Mr. Zhang, you don't know. The so-called Five Sages of Nanyang refer to the five wise people who were born in Nanyang who are famous for their strategy, commerce, science, intelligence, and medicine. Therefore, they were merged into the Nanyang Five Sages."

"As for who are among the five sages, apart from your ancestor, Ke sage Zhang Heng, there are also a lot of famous people, such as Jiang Shang, the sage of business, and Fan Li, the sage of merchants."

"The remaining two... can't be said for the time being, but I think if there is a chance after coming to you, I can meet them near my hometown."

Smiling and explaining to Zhang Ju, Zhang Yan didn't say all the names of these five people, but made a small pass.

On the other hand, although his appearance doesn't look too agile, Zhang Ju is obviously not a stupid person, so he naturally tasted a different meaning from Zhang Yan's words.

"Oh... **, I have a chance to meet in the future, so what do you mean, Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan, is that the remaining two wise saints and medical saints are all contemporary celebrities in Nanyang? Then I can get along with this Waiting for a sage to live in the same era can indeed be said to be a great joy in life."

"It's in vain that Mr. Zhang worked behind closed doors for a long time, and always thought that there were only mediocre talents in this world. Today, after asking the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan for advice, I realized that it was Mr. Zhang who was watching the sky by himself. I am really ashamed."

Smiling and cupping his hands in Zhang Yan's direction, Zhang Ju heard about this from the other party's mouth, which can be said to be a pleasant surprise for him.

On the other side, seeing that the two had already greeted each other, and the greetings were over, Wei Xiancai continued to introduce to Zhang Yan.

"Master, you don't know anything. After you led the troops to go out, I took a group of brothers to build the huge sundial building according to the blueprint you gave."

"And within a few days, when I dug out the foundation as required, I encountered the first difficult dilemma after building the sundial."

"If it weren't for the coincidence that Mr. Zhang Ju brought his friends to visit Luoyang that day. After seeing us, we were familiar with each other before, so we helped a lot. I am afraid that the construction of the sundial would have to be postponed for several months at least. Only then can it be completed."

Talking in the direction of Zhang Yan, thinking of the difficulties encountered in the construction of the sundial at that time, whether it was the sundial surface during the construction process was too heavy to be transported as a whole, or the food supply in Luoyang City near the end Almost exhausted, Wei Xian couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

And if it comes to what impresses him the most, it has to be the problem that the construction progress is slow due to the lack of young and strong laborers under his hands when the construction of the spectacle has just started.

"I still remember that it was the fourth or fifth day when I just started the construction. Since the foundation has been dug wide and deep enough by thousands of people like me, I also started to think about the construction of the main body of the sundial. "

"The construction of the main body base of the sundial, which is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, became the first problem encountered next."

While recalling what happened at that time, Wei Xian narrated to Zhang Yan with a look of reminiscence on his face.

Chapter 46 Applications of Blocks and Pulleys

ps: I uploaded the wrong chapter just now, the content of chapter 46 was uploaded when chapter 45 was uploaded, those who have already read it click to refresh the catalog haha

——The following text——

"And the construction of the main body base of the sundial, which is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, has become the first problem encountered next."

While recalling what happened at that time, Wei Xian narrated to Zhang Yan with a look of reminiscence on his face.

"Master, you also know that when you hired the people in Luoyang City to work for you at the beginning, you also made it clear that you would not only pay wages to those young and strong laborers, but also pay for everyone, including the women and the elderly who came to help Meals are provided, so the group of people working under your hands basically come from the whole family to help, and the number of people is so huge that it is easy to gather such a huge number as tens of thousands of people."

"It's just that I didn't expect that although the construction of this sundial is not too complicated, it only needs to be glued together with mud and the granite is added together. But according to the statement in the drawing, each piece of granite needs to be used. The rocks are at least one foot square and three feet long, and each rock weighs nearly two hundred catties, which is not something that ordinary people can easily lift."

"It's okay to transport outside the construction site. With the help of cattle, horses and vehicles, even if we spend a little more money, we will be able to send these whole blue rocks into the construction site after all."

"It's just that it was almost impossible for the builders at that time to lift the blue rock to the pedestal of the sundial and pave it."

Recalling the difficulties he encountered at that time, Wei Xian couldn't help but feel a little emotional for a while, and after Zhang Yan urged him several times with a curious face, he finally let go of his mind and continued to tell the story like this of the things that happened at that time.

"Master, I still remember that at that time, the person who could lift a whole stone by himself was almost one out of ten in the entire team, but he could only resist two or three times of stone, and he could carry a maximum of about ten meters. People just have to rest for a long time, otherwise there is a risk of injury.”

"Not to mention those old and weak women and children. If the teenagers can lift the stone in groups of two or four, the rest of the women and old people can't even move a rock with ten or a hundred people."

"Therefore, although there were more than 2000 famous people gathered in the construction site at the time, the low-level people who had little land or had no land to cultivate at all, but actually less than [-] people could really play a role, and the construction efficiency was even higher. It's extremely low."

"I still remember that when I saw the slow efficiency at that time, I was naturally extremely anxious. And when I was at a loss, it was Mr. Zhang Ju who provided me with a rather novel construction method, which immediately made me feel very anxious. I am freed from the previous blindness."

Talking slowly in the direction of Zhang Yan, when Wei Xian talked about the rather slow construction efficiency at the beginning, it seemed as if he felt the pressure from the previous mountain came to him again, and his whole expression was It became a little stiff.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Zhang Ju, who had not made a sound before, seemed a little anxious about Wei Xian for a long time, but couldn't get to the point, so he just took the words from Wei Xian's mouth like this.

"What Zhuangshi Wei said is right. At that time, because I was a little interested in your building, Mr. Zhang, I also stayed near the construction site for a long time, watching the slow construction of the sundial under the efforts of tens of thousands of workers. on."

"And after watching it for a while, Zhang discovered by coincidence that among the various utensils passed down by the barbarians in the Western Regions, there was a work that could help the strong men of the guard, which greatly accelerated the overall construction speed. speed up."

"Thus, although I don't know why you are all obsessed with the whole piece of blue rock, and are not willing to switch to relatively lighter broken rocks to pave the foundation of this Japanese stock, but I still use the utensils of the barbarians and the ones they use. The method was handed over to Mr. Wei Zhuang, I hope I can help you a little, and it can be regarded as a repayment for the kindness that Mr. Wei gave me as a guide before."

"As expected, after the tool is gradually used proficiently, even the stone that only the strongest men could move before, can now be moved to where they need by the joint efforts of several old and weak people. Location."

Some proudly told Zhang Yan about his experience in cooperating with Wei Xian to solve a huge problem for the other party. Zhang Ju seemed to have a little intention of showing off, so he never mentioned this so-called "Western Region Tool" "Where is it sacred, it seems to want to arouse Zhang Yan's interest.

It's just that on the other side, after hearing that Zhang Yan grasped the key words such as "labor saving", "moving heavy objects" and "from the West", Zhang Yan instantly knew what the other party's so-called tool was. What is it, so I don't have the slightest curiosity.

Counting the time with his fingers, Zhang Yan found that this thing seemed to have been invented by Assyria, the ancient empire of Mesopotamia at that time, more than 800 years ago, and then it was applied to the production and life of the residents in the Mesopotamia. middle.

And now that 800 years have passed, it seems that it is not unacceptable to pass this continuous stream of Hu merchants—that is, the introduction of Arab merchants to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

And now that he already knew what the magical tool of the Western Regions that Zhang Ju was talking about, Zhang Yan bluntly revealed the identity of the other party, and did not give Zhang Ju the slightest chance to show off his talents.

……

"This tool is..."

……

"Is it a pulley? To be precise, it should be a pulley block composed of a fixed pulley and a moving pulley."

Interrupting Zhang Ju's show off with a smile, Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a little amused seeing the other party's rather surprised look at the moment.

But when it comes to the tools that can be applied in the field of construction in this era, apart from the pulley, Zhang Yan can't think of any other options.

And then, as if he was afraid that the other party would not understand what the pulley was, Zhang Yan, who had already had dinner, dipped in some wine, and drew the rough sketch of the pulley on the table to everyone present. to see.

After seeing the pattern that is a little simple but actually depicts the core function of the pulley tool, even though Zhang Ju couldn't believe it, he still had to raise a little bit of Zhang Yan's profound knowledge. The feeling of admiration.

Chapter 47 Another bug? No, foreshadowing

"It's the wonderful function of this pulley...the group. The Marquis of Wan is well-read and knowledgeable. Thinking about me, Zhang, who is still playing tricks here, I am really ashamed."

Hearing Zhang Yan's explanation, even Zhang Ju, who was a bit unbelievable before, did not expect that the other party already had a good understanding of the tools from the Western Region merchant that he had shown off earlier, so he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. There was a touch of red on the rigid face.

Seeing the young man in front of him who was a bit straightforward in character, and at the same time exuded the air of a science student, Zhang Yan felt a little ashamed. Zhang Yan didn't continue to say more, but praised the other party, which was considered demolition. While breaking the opponent's stage, he also gave Zhang Ju a step, and exposed this matter to the past.

"Haha... Where is it, Ben Hou only heard that the ancient 'Assyria' country in the Western Regions had invented a tool and method that could make construction more labor-saving, so he took advantage of his strong family background to hire a few Hu Shang explained it to me."

"On the contrary, I knew that there was such a good thing, but I forgot to give it to Wei Xian and the others for use. In the end, Mr. Zhang Ju mentioned it on your side, so I remembered it. useless."
