The mother always feels sorry for her little son, and it is the child who is close to her who is not close but far away from the child around her, hearing this and going to die again, looking at the little son who is so excited that she dances, she got up and grabbed Shu Guitian's ear and scolded: "I don't want this eye of yours anymore!" ”

"Oops, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"

called, deceived his mother and let go, Shu Guitian grinned and said: "I'm not afraid of being blind in this eye, I'm afraid that in the future, those descendants who are not blind will not see my name in the books, and I don't know that there was once a person named Shu Guitian in this world." ”

No matter what time you are outside, as long as your parents are still there, you are always a child when you get home.

He flashed to the side and said, "Brother and sister, Mom and Dad...... The world is so big, it is nothing more than 80,000 miles, not endless; That's all there is to it, and the truth is not endless. It's not endless, someone has to be the first. People will always remember the first, but not the second, and I want to leave my own fame in these endless worlds. ”

"I don't do it for the benefit of the world, only for my own fame. In other words, I don't want to be out of my own heart, but whether the world gains or not is calculated based on material benefits. ”

Mother said angrily: "I think you want to be famous and crazy!" ”

The father, who was about to go looking for the broom, had been there silently, feeling that he was too old to understand what the children were talking about, or who sighed in silence that the world had changed too much, sighed and said, "Forget it. When the giant gave them a name, he also hoped that they would be able to do a lot of things. ”

"Well, let's go into town tomorrow. I've heard that Zhen Xu has made something that can draw people on paper, although it is quite expensive...... But the family asked the family to draw a picture and leave a memory. ”

"Sit down and eat."

…………

He said that he would go on the second day, but on the second day the whole family was still hungover, and it was not until the morning of the third day that he left early for Peiyi, the third largest city in Sishang.

Over the years, there have been many changes, and there have been many more workshops, and there are already many people even closer to the city.

The banks of the river are also lined with workshops and boats, and some tributaries have built high dams to propel some of the hydro-powered workshops.

"Now some of the workshops are in the valleys, far from the cities. Because there are the best rivers in the valleys that can drive the drainage. ”

"All the workshops there had to be lodging for the hired men, because they were too far from the city. However, I heard that the machinery factory is researching equipment that can be used for coal burning, and it may be successful in ten years, fifty years, or even a hundred years, and then the workshop will be in the city. ”

"When those workshops move to the city......"

In the car, the second son, who knew more about the market affairs in Sishang over the years, told his sisters and brothers some news he had seen in the newspaper.

He recalled the contents of the newspaper, and was about to describe those bright futures, when the gentleman thought of the words of his husband, or his little aunt, whom he should call at this time, and said in a cold voice: "When the time comes, the workers will be more miserable, because priority will be given to those who have a place to live, and this will save a lot of money." The same is 10 yuan a day, and those who have a place to live will accept it, but those who do not have a place to live will have a hard time accepting it. ”

Cold water was splashed, Shu Guitian suddenly thought of something he heard in the car when he went home, and poked his sister next to him and said, "Sister, I heard that there is no need to burn seaweed ashes for alkali production now?" How? ”

The gentleman restrained the gloom that flashed just now and said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, how do I know." If you ask the people in the workshop how to draw, they don't know. Anyway, I heard that it is to burn iron ore, make acid, acid and salt to heat, and then burn it back with charcoal and lime? However, it seems that it is okay to use miscanthus nitrate directly, but there are few miscanthus nitrate mines in Sishang; There is a lot of miscanthus in the north of Gaoliu, but there is a lake there that can directly dry alkali. ”

Of course, she can't understand it in such detail, and it is not her knowledge in this profession, but since she can start a workshop now, there is not much difficulty in the technology today, only the cost requirements.

Pyrite and clay jar method are used to make acid, and then sodium sulfide is prepared by carbon reduction method, and finally reacted with limestone to precipitate, filter and crystallize.

Originally, it was not built, because the ash burning workshop of the Yue nobles who used the forced labor of the people of the fiefdom was enough to provide what Sishang needed.

However, with the development of industry and commerce in Sishang, the development of foreign trade, glass manufacturing, dyeing, papermaking, daily consumption, soap industry, and textile industry all need alkali, and the expansion of various workshops makes the demand for alkali increase day by day, and this kind of workshop is also profitable, so it is opened.

Nowadays, there are many strange workshops in Sishang, and the gap between the various professions is also widening, but for the people, most people are gradually getting used to everything that these strange workshops produce.

When the family arrived at the place where it was rumored that they could paint portraits, the gentleman looked at some of the black-and-white paintings hanging outside with pictures of doors and cities.

These black-and-white paintings are realistic and somewhat terrifying.

The person who started the business looked at the expressions of these people and smiled: "It's good-looking, right?" As long as you spend money, you can leave your family as if it were you. ”

But the gentleman quipped, "I've seen a better one in the academy." Colorful, and almost the real thing. ”

The man patted his forehead and said, "That's a painting, you have to use a pen." It's not the same as this one. Besides, how much does that kind of painting cost? Do you know how that is drawn? ”

The gentleman shook his head and said, "Rely on the lens, and lay paper on the back." Take the color and draw the map bit by bit, so is it not realistic? But in that case, it will take three or five months to paint a person, except for those noble sons who wander here, who will learn? Who drew it? Sitting there every day for months, no one can stand it, right? ”

So, even though it's black and white, the people can benefit. Juzi Yan ......"

Hearing that this person was about to say something about the giant, the gentleman hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, okay." So, just draw, shall we? ”

The man smiled, "There are different prices." Yes, it's vague, and it's cheap. Yes, the clearer it is, the more expensive it is. Even if it's clear, the price is not the same. ”

Shu Junzi said strangely: "It's all clear, why is the price different?" ”

The man pointed to a dark whirring room behind him and said, "This method of drawing people has to be transparent." Depending on what is used for light transmission, the time for light transmission is different. ”

"If it's clear, you have to use Xuanlin slices and egg whites. But, egg whites don't melt much light-sensitive medicine, so you'll have to sit there for a quarter of an hour or two. ”

"There are also those that don't need to sit for a quarter of an hour or two, but the material used is more expensive, which is something that can replace egg whites and is more translucent than egg whites. And it is easy to catch fire and explode when matched, so it is much more expensive. ”

"If you can make something transparent, stick to the photosensitive powder, and don't catch fire and explode when you configure it, it will definitely be cheaper. Besides, how much gold will be rewarded on it, and in the future, anyone who uses this method will have to give the dividend money that is made. ”

Shu Guitian waved his hand and said, "I want the one that is easy to catch fire and explode but fast." ”

The man said, "Then I'll have to ask the gentleman." To prepare that medicine, I have to come to the husband, I can't do it. Wait a minute. ”

He ran inside, and after a moment came out and apologized, "Mr. said he couldn't match it today." You'd better sit longer. ”

Shu Guitian glanced at the strange wooden box and asked, "You don't need your husband to come here in person, right?" ”

The man grinned and said, "That's not necessary. The egg white does not catch fire or explode, but it is not too clear, and it sits for a long time. You'd better not laugh. ”

"Why?"

"Oh, do you think, laugh for two quarters of an hour, and your mouth won't cramp? It's just like the expression you had when you stood in line when you were in service. ”

The family thought about it, if they really wanted to sit there for two quarters of an hour and laugh all the time, it would be really cramping, but it would be ugly.

So the whole family tidied up their clothes, the parents sat in the middle, the daughter-in-law and grandchildren holding the children sat on both sides, and the four who had served or traveled to the north and south stood in the back.

I didn't see the man on the other side pick up a pen, but I got into a small tent with black felt, and I don't know what I was doing, and then called out to them to face the wooden box, and waited quietly for two long quarters of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour is not a long time.

But two quarters of an hour not being able to speak, not talk, not be able to walk, and keep a serious face, that's a bit long.

In the long wait, everyone has their own thoughts.

It's not the first time that Shu prisoner has come into contact with this thing, when their cavalry brigade was reorganized into a cavalry division a while ago, his brigade commander took a photo with his comrades and division commanders, but that time it was very fast, there were specialized and professional people dispensing medicine, there was neither explosion nor fire, and there was no need to wait too long.

He looked at the wooden box, but he thought that it had nothing to do with the wooden box, and he was thinking about what would happen after the end of the holiday for a while.

This time, the expansion of the army in Sishang is not a secret, it must be preparing for a big battle, and the Jishui side is still repairing the fortress of Chengyi.

After returning home, his cavalry division was about to be transferred to the vicinity of Jucheng, and the prisoner thought to himself that it would be difficult to start a war with the Qi State? The reason is always easy to find, and the cavalry of the Qi State is also very weak.

And then the above is finally decided, in the future, even if it is a cavalry of non-martial knights, it will only be equipped with iron swords, and those who are willing to assemble short guns will buy it themselves, but they will no longer be distributed, and the tactics of using short guns for cavalry have been abandoned.

Shu Guitian thought to himself, this is a good thing, he is far away from home, so that his parents can see it often.

But then I thought about it, this is different, I and my second brother actually look very similar, after all, I was born as a compatriot, I am blind in one eye, and I have a lot of tan, but there is not much difference between others, what my parents want to see is not the appearance, but themselves.

Then I thought that if I really died at sea...... I have to tell the second brother in advance, if my parents are sick and I have to see me, I have to let the second brother wear a blindfold, and it is best to leave a set of officer clothes for the Sailor Division, and then I can let my parents have a wish.

He thought that this matter had to be discussed with his brothers and sisters, and it was not a trivial matter.

As parents, the two looked at the wooden box in front of them and looked at the black and white paintings that seemed to be real objects pasted next to them, and they felt the most emotional.

Their parents had been farmers all their lives and could not leave the land; Their generation has experienced everything that the Mo family has entered Si, shedding blood, spinning cloth, fighting, and digging ditches...... No complaints, no regrets, just for the dream of the original "Promised Land".

Looking at it today, the Psalm of "Promised Land", which seemed unattainable at that time, has now been achieved, or even surpassed.

At the beginning, I felt that having enough to eat, having my own property and land, and the children being able to read and write like gentlemen was a paradise, and it was a paradise that was out of reach.

Now that I think about it, the original psalms are so unimaginable, and some people have replaced them with Xulin windows, not to mention many things that they didn't even dare to think about before.

Both of them sat quietly according to the rules, and even though they said that they were serious, the corners of their mouths still showed a satisfied smile.

The gentleman was thinking that in the past there would be all-knowing saints, but in the future there would be no such thing. After studying for so long, even if she is a genius, it is impossible for her to be at the same level as her in surveying and astronomy just by looking at it.

Just like this art of painting, if you learn it yourself, it shouldn't be difficult, but if you want to improve, it's the same as impossible. She is a little conceited about her intelligence, but she also knows that there are even more people in the Xuan Xuan Academy who are even more conceited than her, each learning her own class, and under the specialization of the arts, the gap will only get bigger and bigger.

Even if it is the giant himself, he may know a lot of things, just like drawing and calculating, the giant is not as good as himself; Observing the starry sky, the giant may know which one is the Tai Sui Star, but let him know the time at a glance at the moon of the Tai Sui Star, it must not work, it is all the ability to accumulate and calculate with countless time, and the talents among the young people of their generation have dedicated their ten years or more to the great cause of benefiting the world, boring and hard, just like when he was a human flesh calculation, if the giant could know it, he would definitely write it, obviously he didn't know......

It's just that she didn't expect that the optics involved in the telescope she used all day could still be used like this? After the reflection, he painted with ink on paper, and I am afraid that only those aristocratic sons who have the money to come to study can play like this.

The reason why I think of those noble sons is because there is a former aristocratic son who has long been cut off from his family and is pursuing her. As a woman, it is inevitable to feel that the six arts that the other party accepted when he was a child are still a plus, at least in terms of music...... The generation from Sishang is hard to compare.

She also went to the theater to see a few dance dramas that combined "propaganda" with Handan tiptoe dance, and also listened to a few music performances that "let the people also hear the music of bells and drums listened to by the nobles", and I have to say that these things are still very beautiful.

After this time, I heard that their group of people will no longer go out, and they will have to rely on newcomers in the future, and they seem to be able to settle down, and life will be very good.

"Hmm. It would be wonderful. ”

Answering the question in his heart softly, he turned his eyes to the strange wooden box, walked around the hurried and smiling pedestrians on the street, looked at the smoke-emitting workshops in the distance, and thought to himself, victory is inevitable, so as those who don't need to go to war, they can go to life now.

She has traveled through many places, desolate grasslands, damp South China Seas, closed nine peaks, and vast cloud dreams, so she knows that Sishang is completely different from other places.

It's like this strange wooden box in front of you, which means the reason for the Mo family's victory; And when this kind of wooden box can also appear in the grassland South China Sea Jiuzhi Yunmeng, it probably means that the world is already profitable.

She thought that there were still many places she had not visited, such as the legendary Kunlun, such as the extreme north, such as the steep Huashan in the West River, and the countries recorded in the book of Suolushen.

Some may not be able to go in this life, but some can be gone when the world is one, and when the time comes, they will go just because they want to go, which is really wonderful.

In reverie, two quarters of an hour finally passed.

A few days later, a few black-and-white pictures that seemed so vivid to the eye at this time returned home.

One left.

One followed the prisoner to the barracks; A follower gentleman went to the Xuan Xuan Academy; One was hidden in his arms by Shu Guitian and went to Pengcheng, and he may have to go to the distant sea in the future.
