Chapter 2241: Learning the Snowman Ice Sculpture

"It's snowing! It's snowing! Let's make a snowman!"

After washing his teeth, Song Jing came outside and saw a group of children running around.

Looking at the direction the children were running, he followed with his hands behind his back.

"It's minus twelve degrees today, how many days can the snowman last." Song Jing muttered.

There was no snow in the sky, and the snow made by the snowmaking machine in Lijiazhuang can be preserved longer than natural snow.

I have made snowmen twice before, and I hurried to make snow artificially when it was cold and snowy.

There was no snow today, and in order to celebrate the New Year, the snowmaking machines started working at two o'clock in the morning.

When Song Jing walked to the place, a group of children were playing with snow with toys made of bamboo and wood that were polished and smooth.

Especially the craftsman families who came from further south, some of their children had never seen heavy snow, but they had seen light snow, so they couldn't make snowmen at all.

They rolled around in the snow in duck down clothes, laughing non-stop.

"Luoyang is warmer than Chang'an. There must be a lot of ice lanterns in Chang'an, right?"

Song Jing stood and watched, watching the snow sprayed out by the snow machine with the adults around him, and thought of Chang'an.

Since the second year after Li Yi arrived in Chang'an, there have been ice sculptures every year.

This year, he arrived in Luoyang...

When Song Jing was secretly lamenting that there were no ice sculptures in Luoyang, he saw a group of people driving horses. There was a sled behind the horses, and on the sled... there were big ice blocks.

"Zhuangzi has invested a lot of money!" Song Jing knew that he was going to start making ice sculptures, but he didn't think it was too late.

It started on New Year's Eve. It would be difficult for other places to install lights when it was dark. Carving is a technical job.

Lijiazhuangzi is not short of craftsmen. There are 2,039 newly recruited households.

The older sons in it all have some skills.

They have certificates. Even iron craftsmen can do carpentry and stonemasonry work, which requires demolding and sand casting.

Unlike ordinary craftsmen who were not recorded by the government, a craftsman with a certificate in the Tang Dynasty could do almost all the work.

As he thought, the ice was transported by the Sixteen Guards and recruited soldiers. Once the ice arrived, the craftsmen directed it to be put away, and took out the tools to carve it.

Some Yulin Flying Cavalry followed to help. They were warriors, but it did not mean that they could only fight. They could also do some work.

"Has Guangping finished his teeth?" Bi Gou came behind Song Jing without knowing when.

"I washed it, not sanded it. Xia Yaohua washed it. She worshipped Xiao Yi as her teacher."

Song Jing licked his teeth with his tongue. There was no sanding step. It felt like grinding his tongue. He would get used to it tomorrow.

"Xia Yaohua? Oh! Zhuozhuo! That's how it is."

Bi Gou didn't react when he heard Zhuozhuo's name.

"That's right. Whether it's the imperial examination or the boy's exam, someone has to teach you after you pass.

Someone will eventually become her master. You and I know that if she studies for one hour every day, she will get the first place in Chang'an County.

Apart from Xiao Yi, whoever becomes her master will be useless after one year."

Song Jing was not envious, let alone jealous. Since the incident of Li Guizang, everyone has reflected on it.

Finding such a child as an apprentice will delay the child. Apart from the status of prime minister as a backer, there is no other knowledge to teach.

When the master can't help the apprentice with knowledge, a lot of time will be spent on teaching people to be human or handling official affairs.

The child learns all the skills that can be learned in one or two years, and the rest is just learning to calculate people. Is it a master?

Bi Gou took a deep breath: "Indeed, Xiao Yi's skills are enough for the children to learn. If there is a master who can suppress them, they will not be arrogant."

He supported Zhuozhuo to worship Li Yi as a teacher, study for one hour a day, master all the books of the boy's exam, and learn a lot of other books.

If someone else saw this, they could only shake their heads and sigh, saying that they couldn't teach him.

Of course! In front of Li Yi, you have learned all the knowledge? If you are asked to learn for eight hours a day, will you dare to become a master in ten years?

That is endless learning, the more you learn, the deeper you will learn, and the more you learn.

There are thousands of medical books alone, and there are also physics, chemistry, mathematics, botany, zoology, aquaculture, finance, management...

There are branches in various disciplines. When you have a general idea of ​​these disciplines, a large number of disciplines will emerge on the basis of the development of these disciplines.

Like a deep sea.

"Longze, in Luoyang, can ice sculptures be preserved until the Lantern Festival?"

Song Jing changed the subject and asked Bi Gouneng how long ice sculptures can be preserved.

He was born in Hebei, and later served as a governor in Hebei, and then as a governor in Jiangsu, and went to Guangzhou as a governor.

He was not familiar with Luoyang, and Bi Gouneng was the governor of Henan in Luoyang, so he should understand the winter climate.

"Yes! Luoyang is unpredictable in winter. Snow can be stored in high mountains, but rivers rarely freeze. The weather has dropped slightly this year. Thick ice and snow can be stored within the first month."

Bi Gou recalled and gave an answer. No problem. It is quite cold today. It is minus 14 degrees Celsius now.

It will rise to minus 6 or 7 degrees Celsius at noon. The source of the river is not sealed. There is another hot spring river that flows into Luoshui River. The water is not always frozen.

"Your Majesty just whispered to me that the fiscal revenue of the court can exceed 100 million next year. Your Majesty ordered me to pass it on to Longze for you to hear."

Song Jing changed the subject again and told Bi Gou how much money there would be next year.

Bi Gou: "..."

He was frozen, like an ice sculpture.

Song Jing observed carefully to see if he should call for help.

"Ah," Bi Gou breathed out, "You are in a good mood when you have a lot of money, but it is difficult to manage. Xiao Yi knows how to make problems for me all day long. I will collect his taxes later."

"You should collect it!" Song Jing expressed his support.

...

"After the Chinese New Year, you can take care of yourself. UU Reading www.uｕｋａｓｋｋｕFind time to practice shooting. This gun and the bullets are special. When practicing, use other guns with greater recoil."

Li Yi spoke to his third apprentice. He was given the pistol, but he was able to advance.

Don't use it when practicing, the bullets are too expensive, the bullets are larger than ordinary bullets, and each magazine can only hold three rounds.

"Thank you, Master." The little girl Zhuo Zhuo was happy.

It doesn't matter whether you have a gun or not. If you become a disciple, you will have someone to support you from now on.

Last time, Fatty pulled his pigtails. Do you want to shoot him with a gun?

"There will be a performance tonight and there will be ice lanterns. Let's go see it with our teacher.

My knowledge as a teacher is still shallow, so I can only teach you more about how to behave.

If you don’t understand trivial matters in daily life, feel free to ask. For example, if it is difficult to understand the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, ask your senior sister and senior brother. "

Li Yi made excuses for himself, asking questions about Confucianism but not himself, he had no time.

The little girl Zhuo Zhuo is older than Qingdai and Li Guizang, but those who are new to the school still have to call others senior brother and senior sister.

Theoretically, her memory is better than that of Li Guizang. Li Guizang can study for a long time every day, while she can study for an hour at most.

In terms of human sophistication, she can't compare to Li Guizang. Li Guizang is so smart. He secretly asked for leave and went to the mountains to find something for Li Yi to become his disciple.

Li Guizang is a real orphan and must know how to survive.

But no matter in terms of learning ability or worldly sophistication, neither of them can compare to the little girl Qingdai.

The little girl always treats people, and she knows that her life is not long, so she is more mature.

Li Guizang sees things at the lowest level of society, while Feng Qingdai is in contact with all classes.

When she treats patients, she sees all the thoughts and considerations of different patients and their families.

However, even though she knew it, she still remained true to her original intention, worked hard to study medicine, and tried to help others before she died.

Regardless of her virtue or ability, she is worthy of the position of senior sister.
