Chapter 44 Pretending to be an Expert

Si Ji spoke in a very literary way, but fortunately Renault could barely understand. The maid was following him, and when he was fine, he served tea, grind ink, and didn't speak or asked questions. He just saw how much he could learn. If Renault liked him and thought he was a talented person and agreed to accept her as his disciple, he would hold a ceremony to apprenticeship.

I have such strong self-confidence, and I can learn something by watching it. Think about it again in school, when teachers shout and scold, and some even hit them a few times just to let students learn more. The gap is a bit big.

Renault has already considered it, at least a primary school tyrant, so he has been scolded by teachers a lot. He has had more than ten years of learning experience, and no one has taught him if he doesn’t ask, just watch it, how much can he learn? Anyway, he doesn’t have much confidence.

"That's fine, but the Ninth Princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf after all, and she is a maid next to Lei. Is this appropriate?" The outsider doesn't understand the rules, so it's better to ask clearly. If you violate a taboo, the feudal monarch will not reason with you and will lose his head.

Si Ji smiled after his pretty face behind the veil, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She was really working hard. If this matter failed, and it would be passed back to the capital, even if His Majesty felt pity, the Ninth Princess would probably be locked into the cold palace. It was not that His Majesty did not love his daughter, and he would marry four widows, and he would know what would happen.

Don’t mention marriage or something. Even if His Majesty proposes it, it will be opposed by all the generals of the court. If you marry your daughter once, you will have a son to die. Who can withstand this?

As for civil officials, let alone, those guys care about this kind of thing the most, not to mention that the royal family has no tradition of marrying princesses to civil officials.

If you can't get married, as a princess, you can't leave the palace, and you can't build a mansion. What else can you do except being in the cold palace and being alone for a lifetime?

Such a life, let alone the Jiugong Palace, even close female officials like her are afraid of thinking. Si Ji, Si Wu, Si Qin and Si Hua are different from other female officials. They grew up with the Jiu Princess since childhood, and they were dowry female officials, and they were never allowed to leave the Jiu Princess for the rest of their lives.

Renault guessed right. This time she came here, she was the one who motivated the princess behind her back, for the Ninth Princess and for the four of them.

She knew how difficult it was. In the city of Shengjing Luo, the one who was as famous as the Ninth Princess was a woman obtained by King An of Chu 18 years ago. The ninth Princess's princess was also known for her. The ninth Princess was arrogant and in order to avoid the rules of the royal female joining the general, she took the initiative to join the secret master of the God of War Temple as a maid. With her talent, the maid servant had been in the five years, but she still failed to be recognized by the secret master.

No matter how difficult it is, this is the only chance for Princess Ninth. She has already made plans to make things difficult for Princess Ninth, but she did not expect that Princess Ninth was so easy to talk to.

Is it hard to speak? Renault is a college student who has not graduated and has not been able to get a girlfriend he likes in college. After a month in Dachu, he has never seen a young woman except Hu Meier. Even Hu Meier feels very pleasing to her.

Although the three of them had veils on their faces, their figure was not comparable to those of tiger girls, and they also had the identity of a princess. How could Renault push such a maid out?

"Of course, it is in accordance with the rules. The secret master accepts the maids, no matter the high or low." Si Ji said excitedly. In fact, her ambition is greater than this. The maids become disciples, and the disciples become wives. This is incest among the people, but this matter is not a matter of being with the secret master.

It is said that there are several secret masters who marry female disciples. The secret masters rarely show up in public and always keep learning. The only people around them are just a few people who are close to the water and fall in love over time. It is normal to marry female disciples.

In addition, the honor and busyness of the secret master also determine that they do not care about the status of a woman. If they like it, female slaves can become wives. If they don’t like it, the princess has to stand aside. As a Si Ji, the ninth princess, she knows more about the secret master than the general Zhu Chongjiu.

"Secretary Master? I'm not a secret master. Si Ji must think clearly, don't regret it." Hearing the secret master, Renault stopped doing it. Even if he wanted to find a way out, don't say it so directly, okay, he wouldn't admit that he was a secret master.

"It's okay to have no problem with whether it is right or not. The Ninth Princess must serve sincerely. The Si Wu and Si Shi Zi Ji and Si Shi are willing to be heartbroken." After saying that, she and Si Wu knelt on both knees and gave a great gift.

Siwu is another female official. Renault just scanned it with the God of Wealth. The Ninth Princess and Siji are both ordinary women. The Siwu who has never spoken is amazing. The seventeen-year-old girl actually reaches the eighth level of martial arts. Besides them, there are two more?

"Okay, I should do it." Anyway, Renault does not recognize the secret master. If you want, then follow him. Don't say that Renault really lacks manpower. Like the three people in the Hu family, and even more so, like Luo Yi. What is lacking is knowledgeable and cultural assistants.

Renault never thought of becoming a scientist and using technology to change the lives of the people of Da Chu, but he wanted to improve his life. Not to mention anything else, toilet paper must be invented. If he couldn't invent it, he felt that he would die and his butt was washed red.

"Thank you, sir." The three girls bowed their knees at the same time and left the room.

"Tiger teeth, is the rice ready?" After the three girls left, Renault shouted and told the rice. He was really hungry. He swallowed voraciously and swept away six plates of meat and two small bowls of rice. Then he patted his stomach with satisfaction, drank three cups of tea, and felt relieved.

"Huya, is the craftsman here?" Renault felt that he was increasingly unable to do without Huya. This kid is good, he is on call and is reliable in his work. He just lacks knowledge and has no culture, so he can't refer to him for inventions.

"Sir, I've arrived a long time ago. Radical Zhao Duo made room in the backyard. They were starting up. There were too many people and they were crowding somewhere to live." Huya was very concerned about what Renault told me and ran over to take a look from time to time.

"There are many people? Isn't there only ten households?" Renault asked in surprise.

"There are ten families. The craftsmen will take their children and nephews to work. There are three or five people in the family, plus the female relatives, the fewer are more than a dozen, and the more are dozens of people."

Damn, this is how the craftsmen calculate? Isn’t that there are only 30 or 50 people working, plus female relatives, at least 100 people?

Renault didn't know that craftsmen were different from ordinary families. They were craftsmen. The family was craftsmen, and their father passed on to sons and sons, so they all took the family and all the elderly and children were included.

The ordinary families in Dachu are different. Except for large families, ordinary families with small families, they have to separate their families when there is a large population, otherwise life will be more difficult. If they divide the families, smart and diligent people will live better. Even if they are stupid and lazy, they can only sell hard work and live a difficult life. This is the survival of the fittest characteristic of Dachu.

"Let's go and see, how can I start the furnace in the General's Mansion?" Renault walked out of the room and walked towards the backyard.

"The General said that war is about to begin, and military forces in Dingjun City are frequently mobilized, and it is a bit messy. It is best not to go to the craftsman camp to save trouble. If you want to study anything, just be in the General's Mansion." Huya really became Renault's spokesperson, and the general's message was transmitted directly to him.

Speaking of which, the General's Mansion is now in chaos. The mansion that was not originally large was transferred to two thousand personal guards, plus servants, auxiliary soldiers, and the residence of the Ninth Princess and Renault. Now there are ten more craftsmen, living in full.

There were dozens of torches lit in the backyard, and a bunch of craftsmen were busy. It seemed that they had been busy for a while. The bottom stove with a diameter of ten meters had already been seated and was being covered with fire bricks. In the middle of the night, they were all busy and sweating all over, from the old man with white hair to the half-year-old man in his teenage years.

After watching for a while, Renault saw some tricks. There were many people, and they were busy but not messy. These were all professionals. Modern people like professionals, so please feel free to watch them work.

"Huya, call the person in charge."

A scholar in white came over and bowed and bowed: "Please be with Mr. Lei, Mr. Cui Qing, have you seen Mr. Xu."

Renault blinked, but didn't understand. Huya whispered: "Sir, Xiushu is a scholar who is very good at taking the exam."

Oh, I understand, it's similar to a scholar?

"Cui Xiushi, are you polite? Is this a furnace for mine refining?" Renault also said politely.

Cui Qing was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Just just call me Cui Qing."

The great Chu civil and military officials did not call him Xiushi directly, but the close ones were called "Biao" or "named directly". It seems that the legend is true. This Mr. Lei is indeed not a member of the Great Chu, or even from a neighboring country, otherwise he would not even know this.

"Okay, I'll call you Cui Qing." Renault didn't care what he was called, it was just a title, just to make people understand it.

"This is the furnace of Da Chu. It is stacked with fire bricks, and the inside and outside are painted with porcelain clay. There is a furnace inside. The gallbladder is clothed with charcoal and burns fire. The external wind blows it. It is the best furnace in Da Chu at present." Since Mr. Lei is not a native of Chu, we must explain it clearly.

Cui Qing has been trying hard to become the manager of these ten craftsmen. It is said that Mr. Lei is a secret master. Maybe he can learn some magic tricks by his side.

"The furnace gall..." Renault has never learned smelting, but he still has some knowledge. This is a crucible furnace, which is quite advanced. I wonder what material is used in the crucible, graphite?

"It's the method of the furnace gall." Cui Qing felt that Mr. Lei seemed to really understand.

"What material is used for furnace gallbladder?" As a modern person, even laymen know that the most basic thing in industry is materials science. Without good materials, everything is empty talk.

"Mo Shi." Cui Qing said that, turned around and took a black stone and presented it with both hands.

Renault took it and looked at it. He didn't understand it. Although he knew that using graphite could make crucibles, he didn't know what graphite looked like.

"Well, it's not bad. Are you using charcoal?" You have to pretend to understand if you don't understand. The leader cannot show his timidity.

"Yes, Dingxi Jianghu Camp has a special charcoal farm." Cui Qing replied.

"Does there be a hot chamber for the blower?" Renault couldn't find out anything wrong, he really didn't know much.
