Chapter 796: Earth Machine Tool, Crossbow Machine

Yang Yan's family background is good.

His father, Yang Di, was a businessman and a traveling trader. He traveled north and south all year round, and his vision was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But it was this vision that caused a conflict to break out between Yang Di and Yang Yan's father and son.

"When you graduated from Taixue, your father thought that if you followed the imperial edict and concentrated on your studies, you would naturally have a good chance of taking the imperial examination..."

Yang Di held the teacup, her eyebrows still calm.

"You have been wandering around the martial arts alley all winter, and your father is looking forward to it. He is looking forward to opening a good academy in the future, but he actually wants to focus on miscellaneous studies..."

There was an angry look on Yang Di's eyebrows: "My father traveled all over the country in the early years. How many scholars did he meet? Those people all studied hard with the goal of taking the imperial examination and becoming an official. But what about you? Someone told my father before, In Mangshan Academy, miscellaneous studies and Confucianism should be equally divided, which is inappropriate!"

"Dad, why is it wrong?"

Yang Yan thinks this is prejudice.

"What does the imperial examination test?" Yang Di felt that his son was still too emotional. "The imperial examination tests articles and poems. Are there any miscellaneous studies? No. Others study Confucianism for ten hours, but you can only study for five hours. How can you Can you pass them?"

Yang Yan lowered his head, and Yang Di thought he had realized something, so he said happily: "Why are you here to study? Isn't it just to serve as an official? Don't listen to what they say about knowledge. Knowledge is just something that can open the way to officialdom. So... go to Taixue. Even if you don't go to Taixue, you can go to study elsewhere and study hard. As a father, I hope you can leap over the dragon's gate in the next subject... Hahahaha!"

He smiled very freely and felt that the path he had paved for his son was extremely correct.

"Dad, the child is promised to study in a variety of subjects in this life."

Well!

Yang Di's laughter stopped. He looked at his son in disbelief and trembled: "You... are you crazy?"

Yang Yan said seriously: "Dad, I'm not crazy. You don't know what miscellaneous studies are. I've been studying with Daizhao for a long time, and I haven't even learned anything..."

"Then why should I learn it?" Yang Di said sadly: "My father has been making money outside all year round, but he has neglected your teachings. Now that he has returned, it is too late!"

It is not uncommon for parents to be busy making money and neglecting their children's education.

"Dad, you are utilitarian!"

He likes his family members to be honest and to put aside utilitarianism to look at problems, just as Shen An said when teaching them: In the face of knowledge, truth is the greatest.

"Utilitarianism? What's wrong with utilitarianism?" Yang Di said angrily: "For the people my father has seen, merchants seek to make the most money when doing business, farmers go to the fields to harvest the most food, and officials work to seek promotion as quickly as possible... Who doesn't? Utilitarian?"

"But miscellaneous studies are not utilitarian! Waiting for an imperial edict is not utilitarian!"

Yang Yan frowned and said: "The miscellaneous scholar made the telescope, the divine crossbow, the golden fat elixir... Countless benefits came from the miscellaneous scholar. Dai Zhao never showed off anything because of this, he just Stay there silently, teaching us how to re-understand the world...Dad, we are not utilitarian!"

Yang Di knew about the Shenwei Crossbow and the Golden Fat Pill, so he was a little stunned, and then said uncomfortably: "But that's not a Jinshi."

In his world, no matter how hard it is to do business, you have to endure it just to make sure your wife and children have enough food and clothing. The Shenwei Crossbow is very powerful, and the Golden Fertilizer Pill has benefited countless farmers, but what does this have to do with being an official?

"Only Jinshi can be an official, there is no need to say more about this matter!"

Yang Di walked away with a puff of sleeves.

When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around, "Father, I have really neglected to teach you these years. You will never make enough money in your life. So, as a father, you can stay at home for a while longer, even if you move your business to Bianliang." It’s okay to come, I want you to be successful at least.”

"My child doesn't want to take the imperial examination!"

Yang Yan recalled the scene when he swore to study miscellaneous studies in his life, and said firmly: "Even the prince studies miscellaneous studies. Dad, why can't the child learn it?"

"Prince?" Yang Di said coldly: "Now that he has entered the palace, where will he go to study? You just stay here, and your father goes to find someone to ask which gentleman is the best..."

He hurried there, and after walking around the city and returning with information from more than ten gentlemen, he found that his son was missing.

"The young man ran away with a baggage on his back."

I……

Yang Di was furious and immediately wanted to go to the academy to cause trouble, but was stopped by his wife.

"After I get my business back, I will watch Da Lang study from now on! If he doesn't pass the Jinshi exam, I will die with a sigh of relief!"

Parents have been the same for thousands of years, and their desire to see their children succeed has never changed.

Then Yang Di first settled on Mr. Wei, and even built a study room at home to teach him Yang Yan.

"Shen Taizhao is good."

His wife said with some melancholy: "I'm afraid that if Dalang refuses to come back, there will be a big fuss."

"A woman's opinion!" Yang Di frowned and said, "This is related to Dalang's future, he cannot control it!"

He took two servants with him and headed to Wuxue Alley in a furious manner.

There were several men standing and chatting at the entrance of the alley, but they glanced at him warily.

"Where to go?"

Yang Di felt unhappy and said, "Aren't people allowed to leave here?"

He regretted it as soon as he said it.

There was a cold look in the eyes of several men, and they slowly walked over.

The first rule of thumb for Hong Shang is to stay out of trouble.

But today Yang Di was a little carried away.

These men looked very tough, but they didn't have the aura of being naughty.

It's an official family!

Yang Di didn't dare to move, Dui smiled and said: "The villain's child is studying in Mangshan...Mangshan Academy."

When it comes to Mangshan Academy, he feels uncomfortable. What is this name if it's not a curse?

Mangshan is full of graves, where dead people are buried. What are they buried in Mangshan Academy?

There was more surprise in the eyes of several men, and one of them asked: "Who is your son?"

Yang Di breathed a sigh of relief, "The villain's child is called Yang Yan."

The man looked at him for a long time and said, "Only one person can go in."

"Thank you."

After seeing this posture, Yang Di was very anxious at the moment, worried that his son might be involved in some dangerous situation.

He smiled and cupped his hands, then quietly accelerated his steps.

No matter how timid a man is, he will turn into a warrior when his children are in danger.

Yang Di dares to fight anyone at this moment!

He walked all the way to the front of the academy. There were two big men standing outside the gate. When they saw him coming, they asked, "Where did he come from?"

By now Yang Di was already feeling cold all over. He cupped his hands and said, "Young man Yang Di, come to find your son Yang Yan."

"Yang Yan?"

A big man frowned and asked, "Is there such a person?"

Another big man said: "Yes, and he is quite valued by Shen An."

"Why are you here looking for him?"

The expressions of the two big men were still cold. If Yang Di hadn't been well-informed, he might have been scared to death.

"There is something urgent at home..."

Yang Di just wants to see her son at the moment and is relieved to see that he is safe.

"Wait."

A big man went in to report, and later came out and said, "Go in."

He was searched before entering, which made Yang Di even more unsure.

Mangshan Academy is not small, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

According to Yang Di's understanding, only Shen An has the financial resources to purchase such an industry. In another ten years, the price of land in Bianliang City will skyrocket. By then, Shen An will only need to sell the academy to make a lot of money. The bowl is full.

He is indeed the God of Wealth!

He was taken to the back.

Rows of school buildings are neatly arranged together, going around here, and behind them are some large rooms.

This is the laboratory.

Yang Di was taken outside a large room but was not allowed to enter.

There is an earth machine tool in the center of the room, and a student on the side is turning the turntable, driving a workpiece to rotate at high speed.

In front of the workpiece is a vise, which holds the tool head.

The rough blank of the crossbow machine is difficult to make. The main frame is cast, and the rest requires cutting, hammering, and drilling.

"Wangshan, teeth, and knives... these all require precision. The original craftsmen tried little by little, but Yang Yan was able to make this thing in one step."

Shen An was introducing the situation, and standing beside him were Bao Zheng and Fu Bi.

Yang Yan carefully manipulated the knife, and the cut pieces kept coming out and then falling.

"Substitute!"

The student who was spinning the big plate was flushed and panting like an ox. Wu Tong beside him quickly stopped.

The second man stepped forward and Fu Bi said, "I have brought a few powerful soldiers here. They are very powerful. Why don't you let them come?"

Shen An shook his head and said: "The speed is very particular. It is not good if it is too fast or too slow. Students are used to knowing the appropriateness. In the future, I am thinking of getting a hydraulic one, so that the speed will be roughly constant and the power will be much greater."

Although it was an earth lathe, Shen An also meticulously asked the students to test the processing conditions at various speeds.

At present, it is okay to use bronze, but if it is to process steel, the manpower seems to be a bit hard. However, the hydraulic drive device is under research, and Shen An is not worried about this.

He just threw a direction to the students and asked them to think about it, and he became the hands-off shopkeeper. But these students gave him a surprise, and many good things were budding.

Just like the birth of the tank, without the trench warfare, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and the intensive firepower during World War I, the tank would probably have been invented many years later.

It was an invention forced by the war. If someone had clicked in advance and given a direction, the result would naturally be different. Maybe the outcome of the war would be changed.

But Shen An gave the direction in advance, and then smiled as he watched the results being brewed one after another, like hatching eggs, and even more so, cheating.

With the guidance of these directions, Mangshan Academy will incubate countless inventions that can be called treasures in this era, and then use these treasures to strengthen the Song Dynasty.

And soil machine tools are now starting to produce results.

"Does it take a lot of strength?" Bao Zheng wanted to try, but Shen An quickly stopped the old man and said, "Don't go, lest you get hurt."

"I can pick up the ribbon with one hand!"

Bao Zheng refused to give in. Shen An smiled bitterly and said, "Well... some students have been dislocated."

He pointed to his left shoulder, and Bao Zheng stopped. He looked at those students and sighed: "They are all children, just follow you to do these things. If they don't write articles and poems, how can they take the imperial examination? Alas! They are all ambitious."

Everyone studies to become an official, but these students followed Shen An to start from scratch without hesitation and rebuild the foundation of miscellaneous studies. This kind of courage is really rare.

Yang Di outside the door stared at this scene dumbfounded.

Bao Zheng, Fu Bi...

These two prime ministers were actually watching their sons working on something... and they were very serious about it.

What's this?

On the way in, Yang Di thought about countless possibilities, but he didn't expect it to be this scene.

What did Dalang do? It actually made the prime ministers and assistants pay attention.
