Of course there are ways to solve rust. In addition to directly using stainless steel, the simplest method in Gao Pragmatic's previous life was of course to directly polish with emery cloth. However, the common emery cloth in the previous life was not already available in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many types of emery cloth. , under the current conditions, it is not difficult to make some emery cloth that can polish blunt instruments, but the emery cloth used to polish egg beaters is probably a bit difficult to handle.
In addition to the physical solution of sanding with emery cloth, there is also a chemical solution, which is to directly soak with hydrochloric acid. Sulfuric acid was produced in ancient China, so in Gao's pragmatic view, it is of course very simple to process it into hydrochloric acid - just mix sulfuric acid and table salt and heat it. However, considering that China used green vitriol as raw material to manufacture sulfuric acid at this time, although green vitriol is not very rare, it is still not cost-effective after all.
If you don’t have the time, you might as well make one from scratch. Anyway, the skill of pulling wire is not difficult in China. Don’t those chainmails and other things all use wire?
But Gao Qingshi was still a little unhappy. He felt that without a complete industrial system, it was really inconvenient to do anything. Just removing rust from an egg beater, after considering the cost factors, it was better not to solve it. This result made it difficult for Gao Pragmatic, a person with a somewhat "traveler can do anything" mentality, to accept it. He frowned and refused to speak for a long time.
When Shang Yue saw it, he glared at his sister reproachfully, and then said: "Young master, actually you don't have to worry. If according to what you said before, a lot of soap will be produced by then, then this... mixer, um , this mixer is actually very difficult to rust.”
Gao Pragmatic was slightly startled and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
"Because it is used every day!" Shangyue glanced at Gao Pragmatic carefully and replied: "Look, if an ironware is soaked in water and left there for a few days without use, it will definitely rust. But If the piece of iron is used every day and wiped clean every time after use, it will generally be less likely to rust."
Gao pragmatic was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head: "Yes, how could you forget such a simple truth! Shangyue, your reminder is very timely, and it should be remembered as a merit... Well, but I can't give you the reward now, When I make money, I will reward you together."
Shang Yue pursed her lips and smiled: "I just said it casually, how can I deserve a reward?"
Gao Pragmatic waved his hand and said seriously: "This is not a matter of casual mention. You will be rewarded for your merits, no matter how big or small. Also, haven't I told you many times that you don't need to call yourself a slave when there is no one else."
Shangyue and Tingqin looked at each other, and it was Shangyue who spoke: "Although the eldest young master is kind, slaves don't dare to be arrogant because of favors. Besides, if you usually speak smoothly, you will do the same in front of outsiders in the future." I am afraid others are not trying to criticize the eldest young master for being lax in his discipline... If the master loses his face, the slaves will be guilty of a serious crime."
Gao Pragmatic sighed, knowing that what Er Shu said made sense. After all, this era is not the era where "everyone is equal" has been promoted for several generations. To make them feel that the eldest young master and himself have an "equal" relationship, I am afraid it is basically It's like nonsense. There's nothing we can do, we'll see what happens later.
After checking all kinds of tools and supplies, Gao Xiaozhuang hadn't returned yet, so Gao Pragmatic had nothing to do. After thinking about it, he told Shang Yue to listen to the piano and practice ink. He planned to practice calligraphy.
In fact, it stands to reason that he came to Beijing with Gao Gong because Gao Gong wanted to personally supervise his studies. Although Gao Gong cared about him, he came to Beijing just in time for the New Year. That's the big thing; secondly, Gao Gong came back to power, and for a while he was really busy with things and couldn't get away from it. The two reasons combined mean that until now, it has not been decided who will be Gao Pragmatic's teacher.
In fact, after Gao Pragmatic traveled through time, he felt that his reading ability was very good. He didn't know if it was because he was used to writing all kinds of "party stereotypes" when he was a secretary. In short, he just felt that he seemed to have a certain talent for "routine composition". This kind of innate adaptability can basically be said to be easy to pick up. Although he said that modern writing should be replaced by classical Chinese and party stereotyped writing should be replaced by genuine stereotyped writing, he felt that the difference was not very big - at least, it was very similar in one point: Ming Dynasty's stereotyped writing, the words of saints were above all else. Thoughts; the eight-part essay of the previous life, the central decision-making is above all one's own thoughts.
Therefore, from this fundamental point of view, the two are actually the same tune.
Of course, there must still be differences. Most of the resolutions of the central government in previous lives were made after multi-party research, discussion and even public deliberation. Basically, they deserve the evaluation of "advancing with the times, being down-to-earth and pragmatic." Even if some people at the grassroots level occasionally feel that the central government's tone is too high, in fact, it is mostly because China is too big and development is unbalanced among regions. The central government can only make decisions based on the broadest situation. Individual regions sometimes feel that their local policies are too high. It is not surprising that the actual conditions deviate from the central government's requirements; as for the words of the Ming sage, it is really hard to describe...
However, if we take a pragmatic view, the words of the vast majority of saints can be summarized as follows: when used for self-cultivation and scholarship, it is excellent; when used for governing the country, it is nonsense.
He himself had experienced more than ten years of forced indoctrination in exam-oriented education, and even received various trainings and further studies from time to time after working, including party school studies, so he was relatively confident about exams, even if The acceptance rate for the imperial examinations in the Ming Dynasty was much lower than in the previous life, and it was not a path he would be afraid of.
After all, to a certain extent, these Ming Dynasty candidates now have a lot of rote reading, and in addition to studying, he has also specially learned how to take exams. If the imperial examination is regarded as a test essay in the previous life, then Gao Pragmatic obviously knows from which direction to approach the topic - this is the most critical "breaking the question" in the eight-part essay, and he also knows what information must be included in the article. In the end, It is easiest to get "high scores".
Because of this advantage, although Gao Pragmatic clearly knew that if his plan to help people in distress was to succeed, he must first become a high school scholar, but he was not in a hurry at this time. He was confident that he could handle the exam better than other candidates. It’s much simpler. As for studying Confucianism... well, there’s no rush. At least in this era, there are a lot of people who are excellent in Confucianism, but those who can help people in danger have been proven by history. Can appear - there may be some people who are capable of helping people in distress but actually lost in political struggles or stepped down due to other reasons. But since they did not succeed in the end, it actually means there is none.
Eight-legged essay is an essay style used in imperial examinations. It is a propositional essay. The questions are all from the "Four Books". However, the format is strict and difficult to write. It is like "dancing in shackles". It is not easy to write well and it takes a long time. training. It is precisely because of this that high and low can be distinguished according to certain standards to ensure fairness, so it is especially suitable for examinations.
