Chapter Thirteen Learning a Craft
Zhang Changwen looked at Zhang Xiaowu as if he didn't expect it.
My eldest grandson has always been timid and has no independent opinion.
Unexpectedly, this time he became more stubborn.
Zhang Luo smiled and said:
"Uncle Changwen, reading and writing are not just for fame."
"I don't just teach some useless Four Books and Five Classics."
Zhang Changwen looked at Zhang Luo. He had heard Uncle Wang mention that Zhang Luo was an expert in farming.
The Third Master also said that Zhang Luo was a young scholar.
I never thought that Zhang Luo could still be a teacher.
"Don't we only teach the Four Books and Five Classics?"
Zhang Luo said:
"Reading and literacy is to broaden your horizons and add some ink to your stomach."
"Testing for merit and fame is one way, but it is not the only way."
Zhang Changwen looked at Zhang Luo in disbelief.
I feel that this young man is quite different from the Confucian scholars in the county.
Zhang Luo walked a few steps on the deck and said:
"Let's talk about this warship. What is it made of?"
"What materials are needed and how big it needs to be, these are all knowledge."
"Studying the Four Books and Five Classics can enhance knowledge, and studying "Carpenter's Handwriting" is also a branch of knowledge."
"Reading books and knowing how to read will be of great help to carpenters and big ship builders."
Zhang Changwen was a little surprised by these words.
His family has been a shipwright for generations, and he also keeps half of the "Carpenter's Manual" at home.
Zhang Changwen is very confident in his craftsmanship.
He confidently believed that he was an unparalleled shipwright in the entire guard.
He is not inferior even to the big wood craftsman of Fuzhou Wei.
All this is because he read half of "The Carpenter's Handbook".
Zhang Changwen did not want his grandson to go to school.
It's not against them reading.
Rather, they were afraid that they would have thoughts about taking the imperial examination.
I won’t learn skills from him in the future.
Zhang Changwen met several old students in the county in the past few months.
Those people have read books to the point of losing their souls.
I just read and do nothing every day.
When I read it, my family went bankrupt.
Still can't figure out why.
After listening to Zhang Luo’s “educational thoughts”.
Zhang Changwen's expression relaxed a lot.
said:
"Put those tables and chairs next to the boat."
"I'll have it repaired in a few days and have it sent to the school."
Zhang Wangsheng shouted excitedly:
"Uncle Changwen really loves me the most."
Zhang Luo suddenly said:
"Uncle Changwen, I also want to come and help you repair tables and chairs tomorrow."
Zhang Changwen looked at Zhang Luo puzzled and asked:
"Why do you, a scholar, come here to learn a craft?"
It's not that Zhang Changwen doesn't want to teach techniques.
But carpenters are craftsmen.
The status of scholars, farmers, merchants, and carpenters cannot be compared with that of scholars.
Even worse than some farmers.
The words Zhang Luo looked at were definitely not ordinary.
Even if you don't get the honors.
He is also a good farmer.
You actually want to come to him to learn a craft?
Zhang Luo did not directly answer Zhang Changwen's doubts.
He turned to Zhang Wangsheng and others and said:
"We have our first lesson tomorrow."
"The master Kong Shengren said in "The Analects of Confucius"."
"Learning without thinking will lead to failure; thinking without learning will lead to peril."
"Not only do you have to study hard, you also have to think and practice."
"There's something great about being a carpenter."
"I'll take them with me tomorrow to repair the tables and chairs."
"Uncle Changwen said it would be okay."
After hearing these incomprehensible truths from Zhang Luo.
Zhang Changwen nodded helplessly.
Agree:
"Okay, you can just come to my cabin tomorrow."
Zhang Luo happily opened the system.
[The carpenter character has been discovered and the carpenter skill has been unlocked. Do you want to receive knowledge? 】
"Craftsmanship" is a very practical skill in the early stages of "Wanshengyuan".
Not only can you make things and sell them for money.
It can also speed up task progress.
There is a place where you can improve your skills and experience.
Zhang Luo will naturally not let it go.
The morning class ends the next day.
Zhang Luo took the little fool Zhang Wangsheng with him.
Arriving at Zhang Changwen’s carpenter’s house.
At first Zhang Changwen thought Zhang Luo was just saying it casually.
Unexpectedly, he actually came to help repair tables and chairs.
Zhang Changwen couldn't help but look at this outsider with some special eyes.
Look again at Zhang Wangsheng, who is gathering dust everywhere.
Zhang Changwen said unbearably:
"You kid, please calm down."
Zhang Wangsheng, this second-rate man, finally calmed down for a while.
Zhang Changwen's eldest grandson, Zhang Xiaowu, brought in some new wood.
Zhang Changwen said:
"The wooden legs of those tables are no longer usable."
"You boy, go and take off those wooden legs."
Zhang Xiaowu was very skillful and was able to remove the wooden leg in just a few clicks.
Zhang Luo on the side also took the initiative to help.
He picked up a table and turned it around vigorously.
Soon the wooden legs fell off.
"You know this?"
Zhang Changwen saw Zhang Luo imitating others.
I feel like Zhang Luo got started pretty quickly.
Zhang Luo patted the dust and said:
"I haven't learned it before, but I have seen elders do it."
Zhang Changwen looked at Zhang Luo's white, tender and thin hands.
Not much doubt.
Looking at his calloused hands.
Zhang Changwen looked at his eldest grandson Zhang Xiaowu again.
I thought maybe studying with Zhang Luo would be a good way out.
Zhang Luo finished removing some table legs.
The system prompt sounds.
[Complete the carpenter task, the craftsman lv is increased to 2, and the experience is 0/20]
Just dismantled a few tables and upgraded?
Zhang Luo was ecstatic inside.
It seems that the "craftsman" skills are easier to cultivate than those of agriculture.
When Zhang Luo got up, he only had a few seconds to burn incense.
Several tables whose legs needed to be removed were removed.
The more I saw Zhang Luo, the more familiar I felt.
Zhang Changwen thought again of his dull apprentices.
Are all scholars talented?
Can you learn anything quickly?
Putting aside his thoughts, Zhang Changwen began to select suitable materials from the wood.
Then they were cut into the shape of table legs.
Zhang Luo took over the table legs that Zhang Changwen had cut.
Insert them low into the table.
I found that the newly shaved table legs fit the table perfectly.
I can’t help feeling that Zhang Changwen is indeed a master carpenter.
[Complete the carpenter task, the carpenter lv experience is increased, the experience is 15/20]
I feel like this old carpenter is at least level 10.
With Zhang Luo's help, it took less than two hours.
All tables and chairs have been repaired.
Zhang Changwen used extra wood to make a wooden cart for Zhang Luo.
Stack the tables and chairs on the cart.
Zhang Luo looked at the "Craftsman" skill that had reached level 5.
I decided to come here to help out when I have free time in the future.
Let the craftsman reach level 10 as soon as possible.
Wait until Zhang Luo and others return to school.
Zhang Xiaozhu has already cleaned the school thoroughly.
The third master patched up the broken windows with some white cloth.
Zhang Luo and Xiao Lunzi carried the tables and chairs in.
The school that had been dilapidated was finally reborn.
The third master looked at the scene in front of him.
I feel like everything is back to the way it was when I was a kid.
The noisy children sat on the stools and listened to the teacher's lecture.
At that time, Zhenhaiwei was still a famous David's office in Fujian.
The third master came back to his senses and said to Zhang Luo:
"The students are ready for you."
"In addition to Wangsheng and Xiaozhu, there are also two grandsons of the old carpenter."
"How about Uncle Wang's grandson Wang Chong also studying with you?"
Zhang Luo nodded in agreement. Zhang Luo was familiar with most of these.
They are all the "horse boys" of Zhang Wangsheng, a second-rate man.
They are also descendants of the virtuous people from Weili Township.
