"Haha, Jing Lian, don't be envious. Please find a chance to ask for these glasses from Mr. Su again in the future."
Liu Bowen said with a smile.
Song Lian looked at Liu Bowen with a stern expression, envious and jealous.
Soon, Liu Bowen finished reading the manuscript brought by Song Lian.
I briefly discussed the contents with Song Lian.
The most important part is to avoid some relatively sensitive content about Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although in the Ming Dynasty today, all scholars are Confucian scholars, and Confucianism occupies the mainstream position.
But in Zhu Yuanzhang's case, if Confucianism contradicts him in some way, then Confucianism must be sidelined.
This "Ancestor's Instruction Theory" was not discussed for too long, after all, the content is not much.
"What's this?"
Song Lian saw the people's newspaper on the table and asked curiously.
Liu Bowen replied: "Min Bao, what just came out, brother Jing Lian, don't you know?"
Song Lian immediately said: "Bo Wen, I'm so busy these days, I really don't know very well."
Since becoming the imperial edict of the Hanlin Academy, Song Lian's workload has increased dramatically.
He is not young yet and consumes a lot of energy.
"Then take a look, how is the public opinion?"
Liu Bowen handed the people's newspaper to Song Lian and counted it with a smile.
Song Lian nodded, took the people's newspaper and started reading it.
There wasn't a lot of stuff, so Song Lian finished reading it quickly, and his expression was very different from before.
"Is this people's newspaper created by the palace?"
Song Lian looked at Liu Bowen and said directly.
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "Although there is no evidence, it is probably like this. Nowadays, people's newspapers are sold everywhere in the entire capital."
The whole capital?
Song Lian was stunned for a moment, then said: "What does your Majesty want to do by doing this?"
No need to say much at all, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately targeted.
Liu Bowen said: "Jing Lian, can't you see?"
Song Lian was stunned for a moment and said: "The people's newspaper can let the people know about the Ming Dynasty, which is a great good thing."
"I just don't know who came to advise His Majesty on this matter. It's serious."
Liu Bowen was very conservative in what he said, and some words were still inconvenient to say directly.
Liu Bowen said lightly: "It probably has something to do with Mr. Su."
"What? Bowen, do you know the details?"
Song Lian looked at Liu Bowen and asked curiously.
Song Lian knew about Liu Bowen's situation. He had always been in the mansion, raising flowers, reading and so on.
Basically don't go out.
How did you know so much about Su Jing?
Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "I don't know the details, it's just a guess. Only Mr. Su has such an unconstrained idea."
guess!
It was a bit strange that these words fell in Song Lian's ears.
"Bo Wen, this is wrong. With your intelligence, you won't be able to trouble yourself with matters such as public retribution."
Song Lian said to Liu Bowen.
In his heart, Liu Bowen was also a very smart person.
Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "No, no, no, Jing Lian, as far as the people's newspaper is concerned, I can confirm that it is just the beginning, and Mr. Su's wisdom has not been fully demonstrated at all."
"I don't know whether Mr. Su didn't say more or His Majesty didn't implement it. Anyway, there will be changes in the future."
From Liu Bowen's perspective, he had already seen that this people's newspaper was too crude.
Although a trend has been formed among scholars in the capital, it is still not enough to spread it to the entire Ming Dynasty.
"Is there such a thing?"
Song Lian said in surprise, he didn't think that deeply.
Liu Bowen affirmed: "It must be so. Mr. Su's wisdom is unpredictable."
I have to say, Liu Bowen is still Liu Bowen.
This wave, we can see further than anyone else.
Song Lian looked at his friend with a somewhat surprised expression.
Although I had known for a long time that Liu Bowen admired Su Jing very much, I didn't expect that when we met today, Liu Bowen could not describe his admiration for Su Jing.
It's worship, it's total trust.
Is this still the Liu Ji I know?
"Bowen, this Mr. Su is indeed extraordinary, but I won't let you be like this."
Song Lian said bluntly.
In front of Liu Bowen, he was relatively direct.
Liu Bowen looked at Song Lian and said with a smile: "Jing Lian, you don't understand."
"Mr. Su's wisdom is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even an immortal is nothing more than this."
The immortals all came out.
Song Lian was completely shocked. In Liu Bowen's heart, was Su Jing the same as an immortal?
"Bowen, it's just a pair of glasses. Even if all the previous things are taken into account, Mr. Su can't be considered an immortal."
Song Lian asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Taking a closer look at Su Jing's affairs, there are indeed many, and they have a lot to do with them.
Song Lian admitted that Su Jing was very powerful and talented.
But the person in front of him is Liu Zifang, a figure comparable to Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen unified the country.
This Liu Bowen is too exaggerated.
Liu Bowen did not refute, but looked at Song Lian and said with a mysterious face: "There are some things that future generations will naturally know."
Su Jing's social theory has completely conquered Liu Bowen.
The feeling of overlooking the long river of history makes Liu Bowen feel like he has seen everything.
There is no way he can compare to such a person.
Song Lian was still puzzled, but he also understood that Liu Bowen must know something that he couldn't tell him.
You definitely can’t ask too many questions.
Song Lian and Liu Bowen exchanged some literary issues. Both of them had high literary attainments.
Song Lian had wanted to ask about the song "Niannujiao·Mid-Autumn Festival to the Moon" several times, but thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he could only give up.
What does this poem written by Su Jing mean?
After communicating with Liu Bowen today.
Song Lian was also unsure.
…
Lishui County.
At the blacksmith's bench behind the small courtyard, Su Jing finally figured out a way to improve the strength of cast iron.
Graphite crucible steelmaking method!
After recalling and consulting some classics on iron and steelmaking, Su Jing has determined that carbon must be added to the steel to turn it into high-carbon steel to increase its strength.
At first, carbon powder was added directly into the molten steel, but the effect was found to be extremely unsatisfactory.
Later, after trying hard to recall with disdain, I finally found a way.
Use graphite clay to make a crucible, and then melt metal materials in this graphite crucible, so that the iron materials can continue to absorb the carbon in the graphite and melt into high-carbon molten steel.
Then proceed with the pouring operation.
Su Jing took action immediately when she had a solution, looking for graphite clay first.
Graphite is such a thing that there is really no such sudden change in Lishui County.
Su Jing was good at geography in her previous life and roughly knew the areas where graphite mines were mainly distributed.
For example, places like Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Henan, and Sichuan.
However, given the current situation in Ming Dynasty, it is not possible to go anywhere.
Shandong was Su Jing's final target.
In another courtyard.
Su Jing, Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru gathered together.
The bright moon is hanging high today, and the night is very beautiful.
On the dining table, a homemade stove was burning charcoal fire, with hot pot pots on it, and it was boiling.
During this cold time, Su Jing and the three of them went out for dinner much less frequently.
Family hot pot is a very comfortable choice.
The ingredients prepared in advance without any technology or labor are extremely fresh and tender.
"Eat."
Su Jing opened her mouth to move her chopsticks, and Zhu Biao and Zhu Tong began to follow suit.
The steaming heat carries the fresh aroma of the ingredients.
Just smelling it makes people salivate.
The three of them were blushing and enjoying themselves very much.
"Niu Yi, Niu Su, I was going on a long journey as my teacher a few years ago."
Su Jing said to Zhu Biao and Zhu Ru.
"Far away?"
Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing and said, "Master Su, is there something wrong?"
Su Jing nodded and said: "Yes, I am looking for something called graphite, which is used to make steel, but we don't have it nearby, so we have to find it."
Zhu Biao immediately said: "Master Su, why don't you just ask someone for this kind of thing? Master Su, please describe what graphite looks like. The student will definitely send someone to find it for you."
"It's going to be winter soon, and it's not a good idea to travel far."
The ancients always paid attention to the right time and place when going out.
Now that the cold winter has arrived, if I go out, my troubles will increase sharply.
If we don't do it right, it's possible to die on the road in the dead of winter.
Zhu Biao said this because he really cared about Su Jing.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Niu Yi, I know you care about me, but it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Besides, I am traveling far away, which is actually to Shandong, so there is no need to worry too much."
Graphite is different from the previous volcanic rocks.
Su Jing knows very well that there are not many volcanic rocks in our territory, and he has never thought about mass production of cement.
But this graphite is related to the major matter of making high carbon steel.
You have to do it yourself. Although I don’t plan to build a steelmaking plant in Shandong, I still need a lot of graphite.
It’s safest to handle your own affairs by yourself.
After hearing Su Jing's words, Zhu Biao fell silent.
He knew that his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was actually under semi-house arrest for Su Jing.
It’s okay to go to the surrounding areas. If I go to Shandong, do you agree?
Zhu Biao felt unsure.
On the other hand, Zhu Xi didn't think too much and said to Su Jing: "Master Su, can I go with you?"
Going out is inexplicably attractive to children.
Although Zhu Ru is very mature, he is still a child.
Su Jing touched his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. I have something to do when I go out this time, so I can't take care of you."
Zhu Rui is still too young, and Su Jing cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents.
The level of medical care in the Ming Dynasty meant that if something happened, it would be impossible to save the patient.
"That's it."
Zhu Rui was obviously a little disappointed when he heard this.
Zhu Biao said: "Master Su, when do you plan to set off?"
Su Jing thought for a moment and said, "Just the last two days. I also want to go early and come back early."
Shandong is close to the sea, but Su Jing does not have the leisure to go to the sea in winter.
If you want to do something, just do it quickly.
"Master Su, I want to go with you."
Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said: "Niu Yi, I'm looking for something. The journey is not far, but it's not close either. There is a possibility that I won't be able to come back before the New Year. If you don't go home for the reunion dinner during the New Year, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back." All right."
Su Jing also took Zhu Biao's reality into consideration.
The Chinese New Year is of extremely important significance to every Chinese people.
In a big family, as the eldest son, Zhu Biao's absence during the Chinese New Year is considered a serious matter.
"What about you, Master Su?"
Zhu Biao asked rhetorically.
Su Jing smiled and said, "I'm just one person, so it doesn't matter. We celebrate the New Year wherever we go, and it doesn't matter where we have the reunion dinner."
Only then did Zhu Biao remember that his teacher was actually alone.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Okay, that's it. I'll probably leave the day after tomorrow. At that time, I'll go north to Shandong. The two of you will join me and I'll take you to Yingtian."
Su Jing said to Zhu Biao.
Su Jing didn't know that clearly about the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but he was still familiar with the map of China in his previous life.
Lishui County is located in Jiangsu. No, it should be called Lishui District. Shandong and Jiangsu are adjacent, so just go north.
As for Yingtian, which is Nanjing, in fact Lishui is also part of Nanjing, but Lishui is located in the south and just passes by when going north.
"Well, Master Su, the student knows."
Zhu Biao nodded.
Su Jing and the three of them finished their dinner quickly, packed the tableware and went back to their houses.
This weather is just suitable for staying in bed at night.
Although there is no such thing as a mobile phone to play with, you can meditate.
For Su Jing, when she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her thoughts were extremely clear.
Many ambiguous memories suddenly become clear at this time.
In the wing at the other end.
Zhu Biao did not go to bed, but lit an oil lamp and wrote something at his desk.
Su Jing is going to Shandong, and Zhu Biao must facilitate this.
But he couldn't let his father Zhu Yuanzhang stop him, he had to facilitate it.
A letter was written quickly. It didn't contain much content. It mainly talked about Su Jing's going to Shandong.
Zhu Biao didn't write the extra things because some things were not suitable to be described in letters.
After sealing the envelope and taking out the flintlock gun with one chance of firing, Zhu Biao carefully left the courtyard and delivered it to Gong Weilang.
"Send the letters and things to my father immediately without any delay."
Zhu Biao ordered Gong Weilang, the prince's majesty was fully displayed and no disobedience was tolerated.
At this moment, Zhu Biao looked completely different from when he was in front of Su Jing.
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Gongwei Lang realized the seriousness of Zhu Biao's words, and quickly drove towards the Forbidden City in the dark.
Zhu Biao watched Gong Weilang's figure disappear into the night with a solemn expression.
Since I became Su Jing's student, the farthest I have ever gone out was to climb Donglu Mountain.
But Donglu Mountain is also around Lishui County.
Shandong is far away.
Zhu Biao knew Su Jing's position in his father's heart, and he also knew that his father once had murderous intentions for Su Jing.
These guards who protect themselves in Lishui County are not monitoring Su Jing.
Precisely because he knew all this, Zhu Biao became more and more worried.
He didn't want to choose between Zhu Yuanzhang and Su Jing, or in other words, if there was a conflict, he had no chance to choose.
Some can only be helpless.
