In fact, the papermaking technology given by Zhao Si is just a general direction.
The principle is given, but there are many small details in truly qualified and excellent paper, such as color? Flexibility? The performance of the ink absorber and so on...
These are all produced in the process of continuous advancement of papermaking. Zhao Si just wanted to see if this group of craftsmen could exert their subjective initiative after giving out the general direction and giving enough rewards.
Title! A real title!
He didn't believe that Zhao Si was able to act cheaply and award rewards arbitrarily without changing his title. These things, coupled with real money and silver, could not mobilize the creative passion of this group of craftsmen.
There were so many inventions and creations that Zhao Si couldn't remember the core of them. After all, he didn't listen carefully when he was in school. Many times, Zhao Si could only provide a general direction and some supplementary details.
Moreover, the birth of inventions and creations must be put into practical use, popularized, and involve the upgrading of industries... These all require appropriate regulations and systems, otherwise after Zhao Si's death, everything will have to fall into the old historical cycle.
While he was pondering over the details, an unexpected and reasonable visitor came to visit the doctor.
Zou Feng...
Zhao Si studied with Zou Feng for a period of time. To be honest, Zhao Si recognized Zou Feng's teaching ability. After all, he was a real contemporary leader of the Yin and Yang family.
It is also a genuine product that competes with Baijiapian.
Not only the attainments of the Yin Yang family, but also Zou Feng had profound attainments in Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and other major schools.
Of course, Zou Feng would inevitably bring in private goods during his lectures, and he wanted to take Zhao Si to the Yin Yang family. Zhao Si didn't mind Zou Feng's private goods. As long as they were nutritious, he would take them all. .
In general, the impression that Zou Feng gave to Zhao Si was that he was a highly knowledgeable person with a good character and no pretensions. His teaching was easy to understand and explained in simple terms, which made people want to stop hearing about him.
However, this time Zou Feng came for an official visit. He visited Zhao Si through Lang Zhongling, which was a formal government negotiation.
However, the two didn't get along so well. Zhao Si and Zou Feng sat on their knees across the table.
"Your Majesty has given permission to go to sea, but there have been difficulties in some places recently, and he still needs Zhao Shilang's help." Zuofeng said with a smile.
"Actually, if your husband doesn't come, I will always come to visit you." Zhao Si smiled and shook his head.
"Before, when we were drifting at sea, the crew members were unsettled, so many seeds were never found and brought back..." Zhao Si shook his head and laughed.
The previous situation was special and people were restless. What the brothers wanted to do was to return home, so Zhao Si did not bring back many key crops. However, this time, they cannot forget it.
For example, rubber, cotton, and cinchona trees are also top priorities for Da Qin, and their significance is no less important than sweet potatoes.
"Your Majesty intends to come to Fusang first to interrogate Xu Fu. It involves sea navigation, and I would like to ask the minister to explain it in detail." Zou Feng also put forward his own needs.
Zhao Si’s maritime navigation experience.
Zou Feng had secretly and overtly encouraged the First Emperor to let Zhao Si go to sea a long time ago. In order to capture Zhao Si, Zou Feng even planned to give up the initiative to go to sea.
To be honest, Zou Feng just fell in love with Zhao Si.
First of all, Zhao Si has rich experience in going overseas.
Secondly, Zhao Si has a strong learning ability. When Zuofeng was teaching, only Zhao Si made the fastest progress in learning. Like this group of crew members, Zhao Si had learned very little before, but Zhao Si was rare. A person who can barely understand the meaning of books after a lot of teaching.
Third, King Zhao Si got close to him, and Zhao Feng probably introduced Zhao Si's idea of arranging the future of the Yin and Yang family.
They complement each other. If Zhao Si is willing, Zou Feng actually wants to accept Zhao Si as his disciple. He has outstanding learning ability, is close to the king, is upright, and has outstanding conduct. Zou Feng is already over seventy years old. At this age, It is inevitable to have a love for talents.
Unfortunately, the First Emperor's attitude was very firm.
Zou Feng showed his old face and did not let the First Emperor agree to Zhao Si's second voyage, and directly finalized the plan for Zhao Si to be trained as a Lang Zhongling.
Zhao Si didn't understand Zou Feng's complicated thoughts, so he just drew out all the waterways he had traveled one by one based on his memory.
This painting took about two hours, plus seven or eight pieces of silk.
Zou Feng watched the detailed sea charts drawn one by one from Zhao Si's hands with emotion in his eyes.
If nothing else, this ability alone is unique. There are so many crew members who have gone to sea, and now they have begun to recruit them. The Yin Yang family disciples plus all the crew members can't draw as well as Zhao Si alone.
"The efforts of my Yin Yang family disciples and hundreds of crew members are not as exquisite as yours alone." Zou Feng looked at the densely packed waterways and some detailed climate labels on them with emotion in his eyes.
The Yin Yang family specializes in this, and I'm afraid most of them can't make such detailed maps and geographical and climate annotations in just one trip.
"Sir, you are so complimentary..." Zhao Si shook his head and smiled.
Zhao Si had traveled around the world alone in his previous life.
He had made countless attempts in his previous life for this feat, and it was the one sponsored by Red Bull. The final ending was a joy to watch, and he reached the end of the show after traveling halfway around the world.
Zhao Si is a person who is adventurous and cautious at the same time. He dared to try to travel around the world alone, but before starting, he spent more than a year in preparation, consulting and recording a lot of knowledge, including ocean currents, monsoons, waterways, and weather. Calculations, climate calculations, wind direction estimates...etc.
This also led to the fact that he could now draw such precise navigation charts so easily, which was the achievement of two generations.
Therefore, Zhao Si humbly rejected Zou Feng's praise because his own family knew his own affairs.
It was common sense to praise and be humble, but unexpectedly, Zou Feng shook his head and looked at Zhao Si and said, "It is a good thing to be humble, but it cannot be without ambition!"
Zhao Si was shocked when he heard this and said, "What do you mean by this, sir?"
Zou Feng, however, smiled and said nothing, and asked, "It's a pity that Your Majesty transferred you to the Langzhongling as a minister. Are you willing to go to sea with the ship again? If you go to sea, you may be granted the title of Marquis."
Zhao Si felt strange when he saw Zuo Feng being mysterious, but he still chose to reject Zuo Feng's proposal.
He is still out at sea... The First Emperor is almost dead. The top priority now is to take good care of the First Emperor's body and ensure that the First Emperor is in his prime.
Of course Zhao Si wanted to go to sea. The problem was that the First Emperor could not leave him. If he left him, there would be a risk of sudden death in an instant. What was the use of becoming a marquis? When he returns from the sea, he will be in the Han Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty will not recognize the title of the Han Dynasty. By then, his more than ten hectares of fields in Xianyang and the flower-like maid at home will want to take advantage of that old boy Liu Bang?
"Haha..." Zou Feng put away the chart, shook his head and smiled meaningfully.
"Now that you are the minister, have you ever studied?" Zou Feng put the silk with the sea chart in his arms and asked.
"It's true that I haven't... I shouldn't start learning at the moment. I haven't progressed in my studies and my studies are undecided. Hundreds of schools of thought always want to take a look, but they don't know where to learn from." Zhao Si replied.
"I will stay in Xianyang for a long time. If you are interested, you can come and learn from me." Zuofeng said.
Zhao Si was overjoyed when he heard this. He had not thought about his academic goals yet and was suffering from not knowing where to study. During his time in Lantian Camp, he consulted Zuofeng and it can be said that he benefited a lot.
Reading by myself, I do have many, many questions.
Moreover, Zou Feng did not want him to become a disciple and learn Yin and Yang. This was a genuine favor.
Even if you don't become a disciple, people are still willing to teach... Although Zuofeng, as a contemporary representative of the Yin and Yang family, would bring in private information when explaining, Zhao Si didn't care.
What worries him is that he doesn't know who to teach him.
"In this case, I'm afraid I'll have to be shameless in the future, thank you sir." Zhao Si stood still and bowed.
Zou Feng just smiled in return and strode out of the house.
"The drawings are very good, but the writing is a little lacking." Zou Fengyi pointed out.
This little guy Zhao Si is very strange...
Very humble, even too modest.
I am in my early twenties, an age that should be sharp, but there is not much edge...
Zou Feng could feel that Zhao Si's humility came from sincerity. The same was true for Zhao Si when talking about the knowledge of various schools of thought.
Having taught Zhao Si briefly before, Zou Feng had already noticed it.
All the schools of thought want to learn from this boy, and all the schools of thought want the benefits of him.
When he put forward his own opinions, he was timid and hesitant... Even though Zou Feng affirmed Zhao Si's opinions many times that they were good and constructive...
"All schools of thought...are just the same..."
Zou Feng burst into laughter... This boy Zhao Si was too awe-stricken!
If this happens all day long, how can we talk about studying?
