Chapter 107: Ingenuity
Wei Tianwu cautiously took the drawing given by Zhang Nan, opened it, and looked at it carefully. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wei Tianwu watched while Zhang Nan drank tea, and just when Zhang Nan had not swallowed a mouthful of water, Wei Tianwu suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "It's wonderful." ”
This shout didn't matter, Zhang Nan was startled, and he didn't swallow a sip of tea, choking Zhang Nan.
"Ahem, ahem." Zhang Nan suddenly coughed violently.
"Eh, Lord Zhang is fine." When Wei Tianwu saw Zhang Nan's appearance, he quickly put down the drawings in his hand and helped Zhang Nan pat his back.
Zhang Nan coughed a few times, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just choking, it doesn't matter." ”
Wei Tianwu saw that Zhang Nan was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's good, that's good, but Lord Zhang, your drawing is really wonderful, although I don't know what the output of this shaft furnace ironmaking method is, but from this drawing alone, it must be low, and I haven't seen such a perfect drawing." ”
"Small meaning, small meaning." Zhang Nan was so praised by Wei Tianwu, but he was embarrassed, because this drawing was not drawn by himself at all.
"Eh, Lord Zhang is too modest, too modest, but Lord Zhang said that he also made a model that has been reduced by a hundred times, I don't know if I can let me take a look." After reading the drawings, Wei Tianwu couldn't wait to see the model in Zhang Nan's mouth.
"Of course, you can, but my model is not an ordinary model, although this model is a hundred times smaller, but it can be really used." Zhang Nan said.
"Oh, this makes Zai Xia curious, please let me take a look." Wei Tianwu Dao.
"Okay, Su Wen, go, bring the shaft furnace in the courtyard to the master." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he said to Wei Tianwu: "Master Wei, wait a minute. ”
After a while, Su Wen brought the shaft furnace over and put it in front of Zhang Nan and Wei Tianwu.
"Lord Wei, please see, this is the scaled-down model that I made below." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, Wei Tianwu looked around the shaft furnace model carefully. While watching, a voice of admiration came out of his mouth: "Ingenious, ingenious." ”
"Eh, Master Wei, don't praise me like that, I don't need to praise me." Although he said so, Zhang Nan's heart was still very happy.
"Deservedly, if Lord Zhang didn't already have an official in his body, I thought that with this ingenious model, Lord Zhang would be able to mix with an official and a half-job." Wei Tianwu said with a smile.
"It's just that I don't know, why is Master Zhang so sure that this shaft furnace ironmaking method will definitely increase the output of this iron?" Wei Tianwu asked strangely.
"Hey, this is the secret of my family sect, so I can't tell you." Zhang Nan snorted, in fact, Zhang Nan didn't know why this shaft furnace ironmaking method could increase iron production.
"Oh, so I won't ask much in the next place, and when this shaft furnace is built in the Ministry of Works, I must invite Lord Zhang to take a look." Wei Tianwu said.
"Then I'm definitely going to check it out, I'm going to go." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"In this case, I won't bother much in the next place, this iron-making thing, naturally, the sooner the better, and in the next year, I will go back to the Ministry of Engineering to start building this shaft furnace. This model was taken away in the next place. After Wei Tianwu finished speaking, he stood up and hugged the model on the ground in his arms.
"Master Wei take it as an example, then it won't be far away." After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he also stood up.
Zhang Nan stood up and found that Wei Tianwu's eyes glanced at the Rubik's Cube twice, and he couldn't help but smile, picked up the Rubik's Cube and stuffed it into Wei Tianwu's hand.
"If Master Wei likes it, take it." Zhang Nan said with a smile.
"How can that be, a gentleman doesn't take what people like. Lord Zhang, this ......" Wei Tianwu still couldn't wipe off his face, and excused himself.
"Eh, Master Wei, don't be polite to me, it's just a small toy."
"This ...... Then it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate. "Actually, Wei Tianwu still wants this Rubik's Cube, although he has only played for a while just now, but the ever-changing Rubik's Cube has attracted Wei Tianwu. Zhang Nan saw this and gave the Rubik's Cube to Wei Tianwu, a Rubik's Cube is not worth a few dollars, just use the Rubik's Cube to do personal favors, this business Zhang Nan is still very willing to do.
Wei Tianwu got what he wanted and happily left Zhang Nan's mansion.
When Wei Tianwu left, Zhang Nan began to think about the construction of the military school, and after thinking for a long time, Zhang Nan still decided to go to the palace to meet Li Er, the construction of this military school still has to be done in his own way, but this first has to get Li Er's consent.
Thinking of this, Zhang Nan called Su Wen.
"Lao Su, master, I want to go to the palace, if someone comes to me, just say that I have entered the palace, let him wait, if not, forget it." Zhang Nan said.
"Yes, the old slave woke up." Su Wendao.
Zhang Nan nodded, then left the house and entered the palace.
Not long after entering the palace, I saw an acquaintance.
"Father-in-law Liu, where is the emperor?" Zhang Nan asked while standing behind Liu Bing.
Liu Bing heard someone calling him, turned his head, found that it was Zhang Nan, and said with a smile: "Who do we think it is?" It turned out to be Lord Zhang, the emperor is now in the imperial study, and it just so happens that our family will send lotus seed soup to the emperor, so Lord Zhang will go with our family. ”
Zhang Nan nodded, and followed Liu Bing towards the imperial study. Walking to the door of the imperial study, Liu Bing said, "Lord Zhang is waiting here, let our family go in and report." ”
After Zhang Nan heard this, he stood still and waited for Liu Bing to report, and after a while, Liu Bing came out of the imperial study and said, "Lord Zhang, the emperor invites you in." With Li Er's permission, Zhang Nan stepped into the imperial study.
Li Er was sitting on the chair and criticizing the folds, when he heard the footsteps, he asked without raising his head: "Qingquan, you didn't come to look for me much, why did you change your temper today and come to find me?" ”
When Zhang Nan heard Li Er say this, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what you said is as if I don't want to enter the palace." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by Qingquan, do you like to enter the palace very much? Okay, starting tomorrow, you will follow the officials to go to court early. Li Er still didn't raise his head, and said while criticizing the folds.
"That's not good, the emperor has promised me, as the so-called word is true, how can the emperor change his order every day." Zhang Nan said with a decent face.
When Li Er heard Zhang Nan say this, he scolded with a smile: "You, you, one day I will let you go to court willingly." After speaking, Li Er put down the wolf pen in his hand, looked at Zhang Nan and asked, "Anyway, what is the so-called thing that came to me today?" ”
"That's the case, the minister thought about it, isn't the construction of this military school starting now? The minister thought about whether to let the minister supervise the production, after all, there are some special things in it, and the minister has to design it himself. Zhang Nan said.
