"Woke up!"
"Woke up!"
"Really wake up!"
…
In front of Fengtian Hall, cheers echoed one after another.
No one expected that just three princes could really lift this large bronze tripod weighing more than 700 kilograms.
This is simply a miracle!
"Fourth brother, put it down and let me do it instead!"
Zhu Xi came to Zhu Di's side and said excitedly.
"good."
Zhu Di nodded, and then slowly sent the rope up.
Bang!
The big copper tripod fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
"hey-hey!"
Zhu Xi grabbed the rope, his face full of excitement.
As the rope was pulled, the big bronze tripod took off again.
Even after watching it again, everyone around him was still stunned.
Zhu Xi is older than Zhu Di, but he is only a teenager.
Such a large bronze tripod is almost like a very light object.
If it weren't for the crisp and heavy sound when it landed, someone might have suspected that the bronze tripod was fake.
"Third brother, come and try too."
After Zhu Xi tried it, he turned to look at Zhu Fan.
"Okay, second brother."
Zhu Fan nodded, he was even more excited than Zhu Xi.
Because he is the main person in charge, it can be said that he is the backbone of the tripod that can be lifted.
After Zhu Fan finished pulling, even Lao Liu and Lao Qi, who were watching from the side, were excited and wanted to try it out.
It was Zhu Yuanzhang who spoke and stopped the two of them.
Zhu Yuanzhang was aware of the previous danger.
Zhu Zhen and Zhu Zhu are still too young.
"Father." X3
Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di were very excited when they came to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Okay, okay!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at his three sons, feeling quite satisfied.
Not only because they completed the tasks they set, but also because of the unity and cooperation of the three of them.
We are all brothers, and that's how it should be.
After Zhu Biao ascended the throne, his younger brothers would be his most solid help.
Mu Ying looked at them on the side, nodding directly towards them behind Zhu Yuanzhang, the admiration in her eyes was particularly obvious.
"Father, son and minister have completed the mission of the father. It's time for the father to fulfill his promise."
Zhu Zhen was the eldest and said directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Well, of course I will never forget what I promised you."
"It's just that there are three of you who have completed this task, but there is only one promise. Have you decided what you want?"
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang said that whoever completes it first will make a promise.
Now that all three of them have completed it, it doesn't mean they made three promises.
Zhu Xi immediately said: "Father, our sons and ministers have already discussed this. We also want to listen to Mr. Su's class again."
Su Jing’s class!
Zhu and the others had already discussed it when it came to making leverage appropriately.
The lessons Su Jing taught them during the Mid-Autumn Festival still make them recall it endlessly.
Of course, the main thing is comparison.
The teachers at Dabentang teach the Four Books and Five Classics every day, either by rote or by rote memorization.
They had experienced Su Jing's teaching method once, and they couldn't stop.
More importantly, the three of them also knew, or Zhu Fan knew, what kind of requirements would satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang the most.
"Oh, is this what you want?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.
At least, this guy Zhu Ping shouldn't want this.
"Yes, Father, please grant me your permission!"
The three of them nodded in unison.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Okay, I promise you, but not now."
"Thank you, Father!" X3
Zhu and the others immediately thanked him.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not specify a specific time, he will definitely fulfill it in front of Fengtian Palace.
"I allow you not to go to class today."
Zhu Yuanzhang said very happily.
Being able to lift the cauldron by their own strength, the performance of these three people was quite satisfactory to him.
"Really?"
Zhu Xi was the most excited and asked excitedly.
For him, class in the main hall is really painful, but not having class would be a pleasure.
Zhu Fan and Zhu Di seemed calmer.
"Second brother, it seems you don't really want to go to class."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xi and said, "In that case, why do you want Su Jing to teach you?"
Suddenly asked by Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xi didn't know how to answer for a while.
He could only lower his head, hesitating and unable to say one, two, three, four, five.
Su Jing's class was indeed interesting, but for Zhu Chong, it was only compared to the classes in the main hall.
He would be happiest if he could not attend classes or study.
"Father, these are all the thoughts of my son and ministers."
The third child, Zhu Fan, came forward and said, "It was me who suggested that this promise from my father should be used to consult Mr. Su."
Zhu Fan was in control of the whole process of raising the tripod this time.
Although Zhu Xi was the second oldest, he also knew who did this.
Without him, the third child Zhu Fan can do just fine.
He is not smart and his reading skills are average, but he is not stupid.
"Third brother, it seems that you really admire Su Jing very much."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Fan and said.
Among these sons, Zhu Fan was indeed quick-thinking and quite outstanding.
But, does Su Jing really have such a high status in Zhu Fan's heart?
Zhu Fan replied: "Reporting to my father, in fact, it is thanks to Mr. Su that my son was able to accomplish what he did today."
Um?
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned by Zhu Fan's words.
In the past few days, Zhu Han and the others were trying to raise the tripod here, and Zhu Yuanzhang paid attention to the daily situation.
Su Jing is staying well in Lishui County, and there is nothing she can do to teach them.
"What does this have to do with Su Jing?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Zhu Fan replied: "Last time my eldest brother came, Mr. Dai Su gave us a lesson, and I learned a set of methods to solve problems."
"It is by relying on this method that I can complete my father's instructions."
"And this method was actually taught to my eldest brother by Mr. Su."
Zhu Fan's class was really serious.
You can also remember and apply what you have learned.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "How to solve the problem? Has Su Jing ever taught this?"
Zhu Fan immediately replied: "Yes, the main core is to find the main problem, dismantle the problem, and then solve it."
"For example, when our father asks us to lift the cauldron, we definitely cannot do it with our own strength alone."
"Without the help of other people's strength, we can only use equipment, and lifting the cauldron can be converted into lifting heavy objects. I naturally thought of the Ministry of Industry."
"The Ministry of Works is responsible for construction, so there must be equipment and methods for lifting heavy objects, so I found drawings and some books at the Ministry of Works."
"Following the methods in the drawings and books, we finally succeeded in lifting the big cauldron."
Zhu Fan clearly explained the steps and ideas for solving the problem.
It's not the principle of leverage, but how to think about and solve problems when you encounter them.
In fact, this is just the solution to all problems that Su Jing mentioned when teaching Zhu Biao and Zhu Ju.
Break down the problem, find the core, and then solve it step by step.
After all, it is a guidance method.
Zhu Biao mentioned it briefly when he and his brothers were teaching on their behalf.
At that time, Zhu Fan carefully wrote down and implemented it.
Facts have proved that with guidance, the efficiency of problem solving will be greatly improved.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Fan's description and nodded unconsciously: "Not bad, third brother, you did a pretty good job."
Although Lao Zhu had known for a long time that the success of this matter was mainly due to the contribution of the third child Zhu Fan.
But listening to Zhu Fan explain his ideas on how to solve this problem, I was still very satisfied.
Even Mu Ying on the side couldn't help but praise: "Brother Fan has clear thinking and decisive actions. It's really amazing!"
What does it mean to have a brain? This is what it means to have a brain!
"Father, you are so complimentary. Everything is due to Mr. Su."
Zhu Fan said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "By the way, I just heard from Brother Muying that he just learned a method of lifting a tripod from him. I was very curious."
Just now, Mu Ying took the initiative to help them, but because they had to complete it themselves, Mu Ying just watched from the sidelines.
"Ying'er, then just give them a demonstration."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mu Yingdao aside.
How did Zhu Biao lift the alchemy furnace? Zhu Yuanzhang was also very curious.
Now Zhu Fan mentioned that the equipment on site was complete and everything was just right.
"Yes, Father."
Mu Ying nodded, and then took out several pulleys from the backpack behind her.
According to what Zhu Biao taught him, he assembled the movable pulley into a pulley block.
The rest are basically the levers made by Zhu Fan.
The people next to him looked a little strange, but they still observed patiently.
Not long after, everything was assembled.
"Brother Zhen, come and try."
Mu Ying said to Zhu Zhen, the sixth child, who was standing far away.
Let Zhu Zhen try it!
This made everyone present stunned. The danger was not that much to worry about.
After all, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di have tried it, and there is no big problem.
But Zhu Zhen was only a few years old, and his power was far from that of Zhu Zhen and others.
I'm afraid I can't pull the rope at all, right?
Is Mu Ying joking?
"Brother Muying, can I really do this?"
Zhu Zhen was very excited, but still asked.
Mu Ying smiled and said: "You won't know until you try it, but according to the prince, your strength is enough."
The moving pulley block is actually a combination of multiple labor-saving levers. The lever just now can already allow Zhu Di to pull the cauldron.
Now with the addition of a pulley set, it is not impossible for Zhu Zhen.
Zhu Zhen was still a little timid and turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
After getting Zhu Yuanzhang's nod, Zhu Zhen came to Mu Ying's side and held the rope with his two small hands.
"Just hold on tight and run back."
Mu Ying instructed.
"Well, I understand."
Zhu Zhen nodded, grabbed the rope and started running.
The rope continued to move backwards, and the pulley block also rotated rapidly.
The power was transmitted, and the large bronze tripod at the other end of the lever actually slowly rose.
It's like a miracle!
I have obviously watched it three times in a row, but this time, everyone’s eyes were filled with disbelief!
Even Zhu Zhen himself was confused.
How is this possible?
A child of only seven years old was able to lift a 700-pound cauldron.
So shocking!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was buzzing.
Mu Ying was very careful. Under his control, the rope retracted little by little and lowered the cauldron.
"Brother Muying, how did you do this?"
Zhu Fan came to Mu Ying and asked him.
Obviously, the operation of the moving pulley block is still a completely unknown field in Zhu Fan's eyes.
Kaos, who was not far away, was shocked in his heart.
Move the pulley!
Although Te had never spoken out to help these princes these days, he saw all the information and drawings Zhu Fan was looking for.
Originally, he thought that Daming should not move the pulley.
After all, this is the imperial palace, and the Ministry of Industry is the entire organization that manages the entire Ming Dynasty royal project.
There is no moving pulley here, so Ming Dynasty should not have any.
Unexpectedly, an exquisite moving pulley block appeared in front of him.
It has to be Su Jing!
In Kaos's heart, he became more and more curious about Mr. Su.
Mu Ying patiently explained to Zhu Fan the application of this moving pulley, but he was not very clear about the reason why it saves effort.
Mu Ying, who had never studied mechanics, had only a limited understanding of it when she first listened to Zhu Biao's explanation.
"That's about it."
Muying said.
Zhu Fan looked at the moving pulley block, and his doubts did not disappear, because Mu Ying only explained how to use it, but he didn't know why.
But he also heard that Mu Ying only knew so much.
"Ying'er, what do you think this thing is called?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Mu Ying replied: "A single pulley is called a pulley, and when combined, it is called a pulley block. It can amplify the power of one by many times. Some heavy objects that are difficult for ordinary people to lift can also be easily lifted. It is very practical."
"Father has also seen that even brother Zhen can become as strong as a strong man."
"Mr. Su's ability is truly earth-shattering."
When introducing the pulley, Mu Ying did not forget to praise Su Jing.
Just because this moving pulley is indeed too powerful.
A device that can save so much effort can be said to have a very wide range of uses.
Especially in the Ming Dynasty, there were no large equipment such as cranes and forklifts, and many things could only rely on manpower.
Things like moving pulleys can already be regarded as advanced tools.
"Move the pulley? This thing is so magical. Su Jing surprised me again!"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a movable pulley and looked at it carefully, feeling quite emotional.
But as the king of a country, he couldn't show too much excitement.
Zhu Fan said: "Father, if this thing can be used in the projects of the Ministry of Industry, a lot of manpower will be saved and expenditures will be greatly reduced."
"This movable pulley created by Mr. Su has been of great benefit to Daming!"
Zhu Fan was quite far-sighted, and he hit Zhu Yuanzhang's heart right away.
In today's Ming Dynasty, various constructions are very necessary.
But there is also a lot of demand for food, and manpower is very important.
The moving pulley is so labor-saving, and it can indeed be used in applications that can reduce a lot of manpower.
It is beneficial to the country!
"Third brother, that's good. I'll give you a task. You'll teach the Ministry of Works how to move the pulley."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Fan and said.
Zhu Fan immediately said: "Yes, father!"
