Ming Dynasty: Huddle around Beiping and become the magistrate of the county Chapter 155: FoolingLatest website:Wait until the two of them leave.
Zhu Di then said seriously to Guo An: "Guo Qing, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, one of them is the youngest son of Wanhu, and the other is the youngest disciple of Wanhu. They are proficient in the development of craftsmen's firearms. We are going to keep these two people.
”
Guo An nodded repeatedly, "Your Highness is wise, and this minister has exactly what he means!"
"Wei Chen was still worried. Although there are many craftsmen in Prince Yan's palace, they are all old and only follow the rules. There is no craftsman like Tao Wanhu.
Unexpectedly, Tao Wanhu actually sent his youngest son and his youngest disciple.
In this case, we must not let these two people go back!"
Zhu Di nodded and said: "We see that Tao Yiping is also a man with a flexible mind. Moreover, with his family background, as long as he can sincerely loyal to us, he can succeed Xu Yun in the future and do the right job!"
Guo An said quietly: "Your Highness, since he wants to learn the art of craftsmanship from the ministers, he must be loyal to Your Highness. Moreover, he will be a subject of the Yan Palace for life!"
Zhu Di looked at Guo An in surprise.
Guo An realized something and quickly smiled, "Of course, he can only leave if His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince ask for this person!"
"Yes!"
Zhu Di nodded slightly.
The next day.
Zhu Di then summoned Tao Yiping and Yang Ting.
"Guo Qing's craftsmanship is inherited from Guo Taishi of the former Yuan Dynasty and Daoshan Xuehai. Guo Qing is willing to let you two learn from him.
However, the things developed by Guo Qing are all top secrets of our Prince Yan's Palace. If you two study with Guo Qing, you will inevitably come into contact with the secrets of our Prince Yan's Palace.
Therefore, you two need to enter my palace, Prince Yan!"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting nodded quickly, "The common people are willing."
Then, he greeted Guo An respectfully.
"Students Tao Yiping and Yang Ting meet Master Guo!"
Guo An waved his hand to stop, "Wait a minute, you two!"
"I wonder what Master Guo has to ask for?"
Tao Yiping was stunned and asked quickly.
Guo An stared at Tao Yiping and Yang Xian closely and said slowly: "You two must think clearly. If you learn my knowledge, you will become the ministers of the Yan Palace. You must fulfill your duties and be loyal to the Yan Palace. In addition to the Yan Palace,
Permission is granted, but no information shall be disclosed to the outside world.”
"A vassal of Prince Yan's Mansion?"
After Guo An's reminder, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting also reacted. Doesn't this mean that they will serve the Yan Palace for the rest of their lives?
Suddenly, I was in trouble.
When they came, they just wanted to learn craftsmanship from Guo An, and were not prepared to serve as ministers to Prince Yan's palace for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, the Tao family is also the pinnacle of craftsmen in Yingtian Mansion.
How can you stay in Prince Yan's Mansion forever just to learn a certain knowledge?
Thinking about it, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting looked at each other and wanted to politely refuse.
Guo An continued: "Although we are not sages, the study of physics is broad and profound. It will take at least ten years to master it.
You have nowhere to study except staying in Prince Yan's Mansion."
"The science of physics?"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting couldn't help but be curious.
"The principle behind how everything operates is physics!" Guo An said slowly.
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting were suddenly surprised, and then looked at Guo An with doubts in their eyes.
Guo An smiled softly, "Physics is easy to say simple but extremely difficult to say difficult.
Just like glass, transparent glass can be calcined.
However, even if transparent glass is placed in front of two people, or even thousands of craftsmen around the world, can they imagine that transparent glass can be used to grow vegetables in the cold winter?
Furthermore, the secret recipe for cement is extremely simple. Just grind some stones and calcine them for a few hours to get cement.
However, if we hadn’t developed it, who would have thought of it?
You two have also seen the process of building houses with cement. I wonder if you have ever thought about why cement can become as hard as hard rock again after being mixed with water.
……
Why can fire burn? But if a torch is placed in an airtight house, the torch will automatically go out?
Why do birds in the sky fly?
Why can't people fly after making two wings out of feathers?
Why..."
As Guo An asked more and more questions, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting's eyes grew wider and wider.
"Caomin and others have also had doubts about these issues, but they have no way to study them. Is it possible that Guo Changshi knows them all?"
Guo An was full of confidence, "We all know it."
"Otherwise, why can we calcine cement and grow vegetables in the cold winter?
Moreover, to be honest with you, we hate Japanese pirates deeply. A few months ago, we built a very spacious gunpowder workshop out of cement and prepared to develop an incendiary bomb.
As long as you throw it on the Japanese pirate ship, unless the bomb is burned out, it will be like the poison of the tarsal bone, which will never go out and burn all the Japanese pirates to ashes..."
"There is such gunpowder?"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting were attracted again and looked at Guo An expectantly.
"This is natural."
Guo An nodded, "Gunpowder and firearms are also part of physical knowledge, and we also have some understanding of gunpowder."
"May I ask Guo Changshi, has that kind of gunpowder been developed?" Tao Yiping asked.
"Of course not!"
Guo An shook his head with regret and said: "Although we know some formulas, we also know how to develop them.
However, you two should also understand that as the chief historian of Prince Yan's palace, we are busy with our affairs and have no time to conduct experiments over and over again.
As for the craftsmen in Prince Yan's Mansion, although they all listen to what I say, their gunpowder production also requires talent, and they... alas..."
The faces of Tao Yiping and Yang Ting were full of struggle.
