Chapter 12 I want to study
In this way, the school at the entrance of Weisuo Village was reopened.
Zhang Luo and the two living treasures have been busy all day.
Cleaned the school inside and out.
The previous tables, chairs and benches were all broken.
Fortunately, Zhang Wang gave birth to a little fool and had some connections in Zhenhaiwei.
Several of his younger brothers are children of ship repair carpenters in Weili.
Zhang Wangsheng deceived them into attending health school with him.
Then he took Zhang Luo and pulled a bunch of abandoned tables and chairs to a large ship.
This large ship is docked at the seaside.
Zhenhaiwei belongs to coastal defense.
Naturally, warships are needed as defensive weapons.
An old carpenter and his apprentice were responsible for the daily maintenance of the warship.
Zhang Luo saw an ancient warship for the first time.
He carefully looked at the huge thing in front of him.
The ship is mostly made of wood.
The sails, decks, and anchors are all in place.
Zhang Wangsheng led Zhang Luo onto the ship's deck.
What caught Zhang Luo's perspective was a broad deck.
On the deck, the old carpenter and his apprentices were busy repairing work.
I saw the old carpenter swinging his hammer and smashing a wooden board in half.
Then give it to an apprentice to measure the length.
There are some old ship ruins near Zhenhai Village before Zhang Luo crossed.
But those ships were filled with sand hundreds of years ago.
The old ones can no longer be rotten.
So when Zhang Luo stepped onto the warship.
I was still shocked by the size of the warship.
The last time the warship turned back from the sea.
Zhang Luo was tied under the statue.
I didn't have the opportunity to see this weapon belonging to Zhenhaiwei.
Now Zhang Luo is standing on this ship.
It was discovered that this warship had a total of four decks.
The length is estimated to be more than twenty meters.
It's almost half a football field.
There is a huge mainsail on the bow.
This mainsail is not like a cloth sail like a Western-style ship.
But it is in line with the characteristics of Zhenhaiwei.
It is made of pieces of bamboo strips.
The overall shape is like a diamond-shaped window.
Just look at the numerous bamboo strips on the main sail.
Zhang Luo felt goosebumps rising.
How long would it take to complete such a sail?
In ancient times there were no automated machines.
How much effort does it take to build such a warship?
Zhang Luo could not imagine it.
The little fool Zhang Wangsheng saw Zhang Luo's shocked look and said proudly:
"Well, you are on Zhenhaiwei's warship now."
"This is one of the best warships in Fujian."
"If the warship hadn't been under repair right now, you would have been beheaded."
Zhang Luo breathed out. He knew about the historical events of Zheng He's voyages to the West before traveling through time.
We know that shipbuilding was prosperous in the Ming Dynasty.
But after seeing such a huge warship in person.
Zhang Luo believed that he had underestimated the height of the Ming Dynasty's shipbuilding industry.
This warship is not inferior at all compared to those warships in Europe.
And some details are finer than those on European warships.
Zhang Wangsheng took Zhang Luo to the deck again.
Pointing to the bottom of the boat, he asked:
"Then let me test you, why can such a big ship float on the sea?"
"If you answer it right, Xiaozhu and I will call you big brother."
"If you can't answer the question, how about you call me big brother?"
Zhang Wangsheng looked at Zhang Luo proudly.
This kid looked so demented just now.
I must have never seen a big ship since I was a child.
No matter how many books he reads, he will definitely not be able to answer the question.
I am sure of winning this time.
Zhang Luo glanced at the sea water and said with a smile:
"This is nothing to ask. To put it simply, the ship can be made very big."
"It has enough weight to help large ships displace water when sailing."
"This thing that displaces water is called buoyancy."
"Buoyancy allows boats and other heavy objects to float on water."
Zhang Wang was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Luo just glanced at the bottom of the boat.
I already knew the answer, but I still said something about buoyancy that I couldn't understand.
In fact, Zhang Wangsheng himself is a little ignorant.
Isn’t it true that all scholars are geniuses?
Zhang Wangsheng lowered his head and shouted unhappily:
"Hello, big brother."
Zhang Luo smiled and did not compete with the little idiot any more.
The two waited for almost an hour.
The old carpenter was finally free.
I looked up and saw several of my grandchildren following Zhang Wangsheng.
I was going to pretend I didn't see anything.
Lift your legs to disembark.
Zhang Wangsheng was a well-known second-rate man in the health center.
It's not that this kid bullies others every day.
The family tradition of hundreds of families has always been very good.
Zhang Liansheng would not let his younger brother be too presumptuous.
It's just that Zhang Wangwang is a "devil king" in Wei.
Almost everyone in Zhenhaiwei has been taken advantage of by him.
The little brat is usually very clever.
I can't catch it even if I want to.
Zhang Changwen is a ship repair master in Weili and has been a carpenter for decades.
After making a wooden bow for my grandson two months ago.
He was targeted by Zhang Wangsheng.
He often pesters Zhang Changwen to make things for him.
If he didn't agree, Zhang Wangsheng wouldn't force it on the spot.
However, you have to be careful on the top of your head when you go home at night.
As the most wild kid in Wei.
Zhang Wangsheng has the ability to make all the adults in Wei shun him.
Zhang Wangsheng watched nervously whenever Zhang Changwen made any move.
He pulled out the little kids behind him.’
He shouted to Zhang Changwen:
"Old carpenter, your beloved grandson is here to see you."
Zhang Changwen's grandchildren all lowered their heads.
They were dragged here by Zhang Wangsheng.
I was thinking that I would be scolded by my family again that night.
Zhang Changwen shook his head.
Knowing that he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to walk towards Zhang Wangsheng.
Zhang Wangsheng smiled and pointed at Zhang Luo and said:
"Uncle Changwen, this is Third Master's nephew, Brother Zhang Luo."
Zhang Changwen was made uncomfortable by the seniority messed up by the little fool.
Then he looked at Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo entered the third master's household registration.
The entire health center knew about this.
These days, Zhang Luo is learning to be a temple blessing from San Ye.
He also volunteered to reclaim wasteland.’
It made everyone in the guardhouse look at him a lot differently.
After all, in an agricultural society, labor is the most glorious thing.
Zhang Wangsheng continued:
"Uncle Changwen, Brother Zhang Luo plans to open the school again."
"I plan to let the kids go to school with me."
Zhang Changwen had heard about Zhang Luo's re-establishment of the school.
As an old carpenter in the Weishuo, he is also one of the sages in Weili.'
However, almost no people in Zhenhaiwei like to read.
It's not that people in Weili look down on scholars.
It’s really hard to get ahead by studying.
Since the fourth generation ancestor opened the school.
Until the school was closed twenty years ago.
Zhenhaiwei has been running schools for almost 80 years.
In the past eighty years, not one person has passed the provincial examination.
During the prosperous period of the school, no one passed the exam.
Not to mention this period of decline.
Although Zhang Changwen loves his grandchildren.
But I also think there is no point in studying now.
If you have this time, you might as well learn carpentry from him.
Zhang Changwen knew that Zhang Wangsheng came with several of his grandchildren.
I definitely have something to ask him for.
Said directly:
"If you have anything to say, just tell me, don't beat around the bush."
Zhang Wangsheng said with a smile:
"Uncle Changwen, all the tables and chairs in the school are broken."
"You are the great carpenter our guard wants to be."
"Can you please help us fix it?"
Zhang Changwen thought about it.
Repairing tables and stools is not a big deal.
Looking at the grandchildren staying behind Zhang Wangsheng.
Zhang Changwen asked:
"You also want to go to school?"
The eldest grandson Zhang Xiaowu is Zhang Wangsheng's best friend.
He usually stays quiet and is an honest child.
I heard grandpa’s question.
Zhang Xiaowu mustered up the courage and walked to his grandfather.
He raised his head and said seriously:
"Grandpa, I have decided, I want to study!"
