Chapter 198 Compromise
Faced with Shi Hao's refusal to give in, Wan Qixi and Tang Situi were extremely angry.
Tang Situi said in a deep voice: "It seems that Mr. Shi has high regard for this scholar. Could it be that you know this scholar?"
Shi Hao sneered: "Master Tang, are you planning to throw dirty water on me?"
Tang Situi chuckled and said: "How dare you, how dare you. I just think it's a little strange. The topic of this big exam was proposed by you, Mr. Shi, and you admire this scholar's article so much. I and Mr. Wanqi both
You have to go against us even when we are against it, which will inevitably lead to people’s imagination.”
Shi Hao sneered and said: "In the eyes of a gentleman, everyone in the world is a gentleman. In the eyes of a villain, everyone in the world is a villain. If you two adults suspect that I have cheated, you can report it to the court and get to the bottom of it. There is no need for such insinuations."
.”
Wan Qixi shouted coldly: "Master Shi, please don't go too far. What kind of gentleman is this? Aren't you just insinuating? Regardless of whether you recognize this person or not, I tell you that this person must not be taken.
."
Shi Hao said in a deep voice: "Master Wanqi, please don't forget that I am also the examiner. I also have the right to select candidates."
Tang Situi shouted: "But Master Wanqi and I disagree. Two against one, your insistence is useless."
Shi Hao laughed and said: "Are you being a scoundrel? I can do it too. If you don't choose this candidate, then I will not agree with all the people chosen by the two adults. I am one of the three chief examiners. If I don't agree, those people will
None of them can be included in the list. It was you who broke the tacit understanding first, so you can’t blame me."
"You! Mr. Shi, you are disrupting the imperial examination. You are deliberately sabotaging the imperial examination. I will definitely report to the imperial court and punish you." Wan Qixi shouted sternly.
Shi Hao spread his hands and said: "Whatever. I'm eager to bring this matter to the court for the officials to judge and the emperor to judge. I have also read all the articles about the case that you let pass. Some people write nonsense and have no insight.
.You also let people like this pass. I just turned a blind eye. Since the two of you are going to quarrel with each other, let’s break up and let no one hide. I hope you two will be admitted.
The articles of those students on the list can be seen by the emperor and make him feel that they are pillars of talent."
Wan Qixi's face was livid, and his goatee was raised in anger. He didn't expect that Shi Hao would really fight with him over whether to keep this candidate. The problem was that he could see everything clearly. The admission process between him and Tang Situi
The standard is for those who praise the peace talks of the imperial court and sing praises to the emperor and the Prime Minister of Qin. They don't care too much about how the article is written. Moreover, there are eight or nine of them who have said hello in advance that they must be admitted.
The article is written in a mess and was cheated all the way.
Although there are many ways to prevent cheating in the imperial examinations, there will always be ways to cheat as long as the moral is high and the devil is high. For example, these eight or nine candidates used the different usage of individual words and sentences in the article to convey information. For example, in
Frequent use of certain modal particles in the article, such as ugh woo woo, etc., repeated use several times, even used when there is no need to use, or deliberate use of words and phrases upside down, are all sent to the predetermined examiner.
.
During the initial evaluation, Wan Qixi and Tang Situi were very positive. They looked through almost every answer sheet. After finding the dozen or so agreed-upon answer sheets, they all passed the test to the third level.
Second round. That’s actually not difficult. If you agree to use these methods in a certain article, you only need to find these words and phrases in the specific test article. You only need to glance at it, and you can basically see it, which is not the case.
It doesn't take much effort.
The contents of articles written by cheaters are obviously unreadable, and flattering articles cannot be called literary talents. How could Wan Qixi and Tang Situi not know that some articles cannot be exposed to the light at all, otherwise they will make people laugh and it will be obvious that they are suspected of cheating.
.If Shi Hao really wants to make a fuss about not agreeing to be admitted to the list and go to the court, these articles will inevitably be exposed in front of the courtiers and the emperor, and then something big will happen. That is absolutely impossible.
Tang Sidui hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "That's all. We are all recruiting scholars for the imperial court and for official business. Why hurt our feelings? If we make trouble in the imperial court, all three of us will be unlucky. If the three of us fail in our errand, won't we let him get away with it?"
The emperor is disappointed and makes others laugh. That’s all, Master Wanqi, we should also respect Master Shi’s knowledge. The truth he said is actually good, and this student’s article is still acceptable. Otherwise, just take it.”
Shi Hao smiled and said: "I have no objection, but I'm afraid that Mr. Wanqi insists on being serious, so there's nothing I can do about it. I'm a very talkative person, but the clay figurine is also very angry. I'm not turning a blind eye all the time.
Eyes? It’s not easy for everyone, is it?”
Wan Qixi didn't know how to advance or retreat. He changed his smile and said: "That's all, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. In fact, this article is really well written. I will get to know this person in the future. That's all. Take it.
.”
Shi Hao nodded and said: "You two adults are as broad-minded as the sea, which is admirable. This incident has never happened. Let's go into the review and finish our errands as soon as possible and go home. I haven't been home for a month, and it has been really uncomfortable.
It’s time for the next spring exam. I can’t be the examiner anymore, so I’d rather study in my Imperial College in my leisure time.”
Wan Qixi and Tang Situi smiled and nodded. They both thought: The next spring? You have to live until then.
A storm broke the calm, and the examiner in question had no idea that his fate would take a turn during tonight's dispute. Originally, he was a failure, but now the three examiners unanimously agreed to list him as a first-class Jinshi.
.It can be seen that destiny is actually in people's hands, but they don't know that it is in their own hands, but in the hands of others.
…
For the past few days, Fang Zian and Su Heng were busy working on steam engine manufacturing. The day after that visit, Fang Zian loaded the spare parts of the steam engine scattered in the backyard and transported them to Su Heng's home. It took him a day,
Fang Zian reassembled it and demonstrated it again.
This time it lasted shorter than last time. The machine only ran for less than a few dozen breaths before falling apart again. This time, several key parts were broken, and several gears were also broken.
, completely losing the possibility of operating again. However, in just a few dozen breaths, Su Heng had already seen many key points.
A master is a master. He quickly figured out the principles of machinery and quickly judged several major difficult problems from the operation. The first problem was the strength and precision of the device. Su Heng told
Fang Zian, the continuous operation of this kind of machinery must ensure the strength of each component, otherwise it will affect the whole body and break one part.
Then everything collapses. Precision determines the sealing degree and the smooth operation of the entire machine. An extremely fine and precise machine can not only effectively solve the loss of a large amount of force, but also reduce the wear and tear of parts, increase the service life of the machine, and The former are complementary to each other.
Fang Zian only heard these words from him and knew that Su Heng was worthy of being a boss and that he had got the point right. Su Heng emphasized the precision and strength of the piston sliding back and forth in the cylinder. That was the problem. The key point.
"Brother Su, is there a solution?" Fang Zian asked.
"This is the simplest and most basic thing. If I can't solve this, what else am I busy with? Smelting the right steel, finely grinding the components, and making sure the size and shape are exactly right. This is what I have to do. Sharpening the knife will keep you from chopping wood. If the knife is not fast, the wood will be chopped slowly. It seems that we need to build a smelting furnace. I must smelt the appropriate materials myself." Su Hengdao.
Fang Zian was overjoyed, and Su Heng was obviously confident.
Other questions raised by Su Heng were also very professional. He told Fang Zian that the entire machine seemed to be missing several key points. For example, the circulating condensation system in the boiler could cycle back and forth without releasing the hot steam, causing waste. .There is also the transmission system. He told Fang Zian that if the speed of the gear shaft cannot be controlled, it cannot be put into practical use. If it is used on vehicles and ships, if it cannot accelerate or decelerate, its practicality will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it must have Another system can control the frequency and force of the piston push by controlling the amount of steam, thereby achieving the effect of free control.
Fang Zian was filled with admiration. It was not that Fang Zian didn't know that these were standard features of a mature steam engine, but he really couldn't design and integrate them into the main body of the machine. He didn't even say these things, and Su Heng realized it. , which shows that Su Heng is a truly capable person and a master in machinery manufacturing.
Su Heng also raised various other issues, such as the shape and size of some parts, the angle of the crankshaft, the thickness of the gears, the depth of the slot, etc. These are all conclusions based on his manufacturing experience and thinking, allowing Fang to Zian admired him even more. As a person who traveled through time, Fang Zian had never really admired anyone, but he really admired Su Heng. He didn't understand why there was a person like Su Heng in the Song Dynasty. The steam engine was invented by Westerners hundreds of years later. Su Heng's ability could completely accomplish this. It seems that conception and imagination are so important. It is useless to have craftsmanship and technology without the ability to imagine and conceive. However, after his arrival, I am afraid that history will be rewritten, and Dongfang Watt will be born.
For several days in a row, apart from eating and sleeping, the two of them discussed various issues about steam engines. Needless to say, Su Heng was already obsessed with it. Fang Zian was naturally passionate about these things, and the two of them were like a couple. Like an infatuated person, he couldn't put it down playing with a bunch of strange-shaped parts and gears. The size and shape of each spare part were meticulously drawn on paper. Fang Zian used a three-view technique to create graphics, which also amazed Su Heng. .
