Xia Hongsheng was very pleased to watch those scholars shuttling back and forth among the groups of soldiers, and then bent down from time to time to check the words written by those soldiers, and then whispered a few words of guidance.

This made Xia Hongsheng feel like he had become the principal, no wonder the principal in the later generations liked to walk around the corridor during class, it turned out that this felt very cool!

Eight hundred people were divided into more than a dozen classes, and in the open-air venue, a whiteboard was erected in front of it, and a cloth bag was hung next to the whiteboard, which was charcoal, which made Xia Hongsheng feel a little sad. Students, this principal can't stand you, so you don't have a classroom, you can only hold classes in the open air!

These soldiers usually knew that they were looked down upon by most literati, so when they saw scholars coming to teach them, they were all very nervous and reserved, and they called them obedient and respectful. Every time I saw those soldiers and men crapping down and saluting, calling them sir, it made the vanity of those scholars greatly satisfied. If in the beginning, they were doing it because they were helping, or for the money they had for two months, now they don't think it matters. Because when they look at what they teach, and when these people learn it as a treasure, they find that they suddenly have an indescribable pride and satisfaction in their hearts, and suddenly they feel that what they are doing is so valuable, which is an experience they have never experienced.

Therefore, when I taught those soldiers, I was even more attentive.

Xia Hongsheng saw all this in his eyes and nodded secretly. Earlier, before the scholars began to teach the soldiers, he strictly ordered the soldiers to respect them. Otherwise, not only will they be directly removed, but they will also be beaten with 500 military staffs, and these frightened soldiers have changed their faces, 500 military staffs, where has this rule been in the army, let alone 500, it is 300. It's not far from death, five hundred, I'm afraid I'm going to go straight to the past.

The good discipline and obedience formed since the military training, as well as Xia Hongsheng's intimidation. Let none of these 800 soldiers dare to make a mistake in front of these scholars.

Xia Hongsheng actually did this for a purpose, in order to arouse the satisfaction in the hearts of these scholars, and then they changed their impression of the soldiers. And then I like this group of people.

Since these scholars arrived in front of Xia Hongsheng, Xia Hongsheng was not prepared to put them back easily, at least, not all of them.

These scholars came from poor backgrounds, experienced a lot of hardships, and knew the hardships of the people. And he is young, not pedantic, and easy to accept new things. The foundation is good, but after some training, they are all ready-made teachers! Xia Hongsheng is alone. Why can't he teach so many people, besides, Xia Hongsheng positioned himself as the principal, who in the future has ever seen the principal teach in person? Isn't it all the occasional whim who only appear in the classroom to brag a few words, even in the village where there is an extreme shortage of teachers, three or four teachers are responsible for a class of 50 students, and the number of words and numbers, body sound, beauty, labor, thinking, and patriotic education, and the whole teaching is tired like a dog, don't you have to have a full-time principal who doesn't have to teach a single class! So, after two months, even though it was only a pilot phase, there were only 300 people. But if you have a long-term strategic vision and a big pattern in your chest, the principal must have the style of a principal!

Yesterday, Yan Shigu and Kong Yingda discussed for a long time, and they were ready not to report to Li Lao Er about pinyin rhyme and movable type printing for the time being. First make a set of movable type, and then use movable type to print out the pinyin textbook, and hand it over to the students in the Guozijian and Hongwen Hall to study for a period of time to see the effect, if it is really effective, take the movable type and the pinyin textbook printed with movable type and then go to report to Li Laoer. These two old men are still cautious, if it is Xia Hongsheng himself. That night, I went to Li Lao Er to report the good news and ask for a reward. However, Xia Hongsheng also felt that Yan Shigu would not cheat him, he must have his intentions in doing so, and besides, he Xia Hongsheng was still Yan Shigu's cheap protégé, and the master had spoken, and he could only listen.

Alas, if you want to say that these two things are also great inventions that can change society, Li Lao Er will not be stingy, right? However, after Bi Sheng invented movable type printing in history, he didn't seem to see how glorious it was, so Shen Kuo wrote a sentence in "Mengxi Pen Talk": In the Qingli, there is cloth cloth Bi Sheng and it is a letterpress.

Movable type printing was very practical, and the repercussions in the printing world should have been very great, but judging from this sentence alone, the rulers of the time did not seem to care about it. In the final analysis, the status of craftsmen is too low to enter the eyes of those scholars, but they did not expect that they are the group of people who can best promote technological progress.

It seems that the promotion of the status of the craftsman is as important as the promotion of the status of the soldier.

Xia Hongsheng inspected the sergeants to study, and saw a few people walking in from afar, followed by a child, and when he looked at it, he was one of the soldiers who was brought to the house in Chang'an City, and the child who followed behind was Li Tai.

Xia Hongsheng walked over, and saw that Li Tai's guards were very curious looking at the soldiers sitting on top of the Mazha in the venue, Li Tai was also very curious to look at those soldiers, and asked, "What are they doing?" I heard you're training soldiers, and that's also drilling? ”

"Yes." Xia Hongsheng nodded and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I went to your house to look for you, but your soldiers said you were in the barracks, so I asked him to bring me over to you." Li Tai said with his face up, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to the guard behind him, the guard handed over a cloth bag, Li Tai took the cloth bag and said, "This is the glass you want, it has been made according to the size and appearance you painted!" Make a telescope for me to see! I've been reprimanded by the queen mother because I want glass, don't lie to me! ”

"What? Did your mother beat you? Xia Hongsheng smiled, took the cloth bag from Li Tai's hand, opened it and took a look, sure enough, it was two pieces of glass and a prism, but although it was transparent, it was not as transparent as glass, so it could only be used improvised.

"Can you make it?" Li Tai is very concerned about this issue.

"Yes, don't worry, go to my house the day after tomorrow and let you see and understand." Xia Hongsheng put away the glass and said.

Li Tai didn't seem to like the inside of the barracks very much, so he stayed for a while and left.

Now Xia Hongsheng's Zhuangzi is expanding the kiln, the old kiln head is very happy, and feels that he can finally come in handy, so every day there is a strict check, digging the kiln he knows best, how to dig, how much to dig, he knows the most. What is a leader, a leader is to give the right things to the most suitable people to do! Xia Hongsheng was not worried about the expansion of the kiln at all. Moreover, the problem of once the kiln is burned was taken into account in the previous planning, so the kiln is in the downwind direction of Zhuangzi, and it is not close to Zhuangzi, just taking advantage of the emperor to expand. This matter is not difficult, take the paper to find the Jingyang County Order, Jingyang County Order saw the signature of the fingerprint on the back, and immediately sent someone to measure it without saying a word.

But even so, it is estimated that it will be a month before the glass burns in earnest.

Forget it, first use Li Tai's glass to make a monocular, and when the glass is burned out, then use a more transparent glass lens to make binoculars.

The structure of the monocular is actually very simple, and if you have the lenses, you need to find a blacksmith to make a cylinder and install the lenses.

This craft is still learned in later generations with the parents of students, a handicraft class, a glass factory work students parents do not know what to think, to his son with a cardboard tube made a monotube to look far away, to the school to see that it is not the students themselves to do ah, and later when the parent-teacher meeting, see the parent mentioned it, Xia Hongsheng thought it was very interesting, and chatted for a long time, only to know that it was very simple.

Xia Hongsheng had already asked the blacksmith to prepare it, just wait to go back and get the lenses in and assemble them. The distance between the two convex lenses can be fixed at both ends, one thick and one thin. This glass is there, but how do you stick it on? There's no glass glue here!

Thinking of this, Xia Hongsheng turned around and asked Qi Yong: "Qi Yong, do you say there is anything more sticky than paste, and sticky things can be very firm?" ”

"What does Childe want to touch?" Qi Yong scratched his head: "The little ones know the rice soup and the paste......"

Uh, Xia Hongsheng has a black line on his face, the rice grains in the rice soup are not sticky at all, and the paste and paper are fine, but it is a little difficult to glue the glass to the metal cylinder.

"But you want to stick to the objects in your hands?" A voice came from behind him, and Xia Hongsheng looked back and saw that it was Ma Zhou.

"Exactly, I don't know if Brother Bin Wang has a way?" Xia Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

Ma Zhou smiled and replied: "The texture of the glass is hard, but ordinary paste can't stick to it, adults can try fish maw glue." ”

"Fish maw glue?" Xia Hongsheng was stunned, what is it?

Ma Zhou smiled and explained: "The fish maw glue is made by taking the swim bladder in the belly of the yellow croaker and drying it, so that the water is tormented, and then it is beaten with iron, that is, it becomes a gelatinous form, and the viscosity is extremely high. ”

"That's great!" Xia Hongsheng was overjoyed: "Where can I get this glue?" ”

"Since it is commonly used for sticky hardwood, the carpenter should have it in place." Ma Zhou said.

"Thank you Brother Binwang, please take care of Brother Bingwang here, I'll go get some fish maw glue, make things then, and let Brother Bingwang look fresh." Xia Hongsheng arched his hand and said.

Ma Zhou also returned the salute: "I was looking forward to it that week." Adults go by themselves, there is a week here, and adults must not worry about it. ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and left with Qi Yong. There must be carpenters on the Zhuangzi too, but it's too far, so it's better to buy them in the market.

Who doesn't know Ma Zhou's name, Tang Chu is famous, his ability must be outstanding, and Xia Hongsheng is very relieved to stay here. (To be continued.) )
