Although Xu Yun didn't like Hook very much, since he left the 1665 copy, he never thought of deliberately blackmailing Hook.
Nor did I think of bringing Hooke's invention to the world in advance and treating the giant under the calf like a sheep.
However, God seems to have his own plans and is not prepared to act according to Xu Yun's ideas.
On the second day after he came to this world, he saw one of Hooke's most proud inventions.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is quite reasonable.
The armillary sphere rotating device and the "Sky Balance" system that Lao Su tinkered with were the prototypes of modern observatory transfer clocks and modern mechanical clocks. Joseph Needham personally evaluated them for Lao Su.
"Su Song has achieved complete success in principle by combining the clock mechanism with the armillary sphere for observation. He was 6 centuries ahead of the European Robert Hooke, and 7 centuries ahead of He Fei."
The balance spring, as the core of the mechanical clock, was created by Lao Su together. This is something that can completely withstand scrutiny.
To some extent, this is even inevitable.
Just like Lao Su tinkered with a car, then finding an engine at his house is not surprising, right?
Maybe the appearance of the balance spring produced by Lao Su is different from that of later generations, but the principle and function are definitely the same or similar.
But if this happens, Comrade Hu Ke will be unlucky in future generations.
It would have been okay if Xu Yun had not seen this device, but now it is certain that Lao Su has made the balance spring. Do you think Xu Yun can still watch it being taken away in vain?
Although there is no Mavericks as a guarantee in this era, China is not a foreign country like Great Britain.
It is too simple to leave strong enough evidence in history.
Of course.
This is still a relatively low-end goal.
Now Xu Yun must find a way to officially get on the stage as soon as possible.
As for the way to go on stage?
How about developing a new dish?
Xu Yun pondered for a moment, and finally gave up the idea.
be honest.
This idea is feasible. After all, the Su Mansion is not an imperial dining room, so it would not be difficult to show off one's skills if the opportunity is right.
Although Bianjing is located inland, it cannot cook Xu Yun's specialty, steamed Fujian cuisine.
But looking at his recipes, it is not difficult to choose a few delicacies that can conquer this era.
Because the "history of cooking" in China officially started in the Song Dynasty
Due to the increase in iron ore production in the Song Dynasty, iron pots gradually became popular during this period. Although there are also records of cooking in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Tang Dynasty, these were basically benefits that only high-ranking officials could enjoy.
Broad-spectrum frying and stir-frying only began to become popular after the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, at this time, it can be said that it is the budding period of stir-fry, and many dishes have not yet been developed.
Therefore, theoretically speaking, cooking is indeed a way to get in touch with Lao Su.
But the problem is that although this approach seems feasible, and Lao Su may even summon Xu Yun on a whim, this will not make Lao Su look at Xu Yun.
The situation will most likely be like this
"Oh? I didn't expect that someone with your background could actually be good at cooking? Then stay in the house and be a cook. In the first year, take him down."
Then there is no more.
In addition, it is impossible to castrate pigs.
Not to mention that the cycle of this method is too long. Compared with cooking, the end result is nothing more than changing from a cook to a pig raiser.
The entry point Xu Yun needs must show the value related to scientific research.
Not to mention communicating with Lao Su Ping, at least let him feel that "there is something in this person that can be explored."
But where is this opportunity?
Just as Xu Yun was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears
"Hey, Wang Mazi, Wang Mazi!"
Xu Yun came back to his senses and found that the old governor had stood beside him at some point.
He quickly bowed his hands to the old man.
"Take care of everything."
The old governor nodded slightly to him, then moved his chin toward a secluded area.
"Wang Mazi, come with me."
Xu Yun blinked and followed quickly.
Then the old governor took him past a courtyard wall and came to a pergola where the servants rested. He found a place to sit down at random.
Then I heard Lao Duguan cough slightly and say
"Wang Mazi, you broke into the Su Mansion at night yesterday. According to the laws of this dynasty, you should have been sent to the government for conviction and sentencing.
The lightest punishment can be jail time, and the worst punishment can be life imprisonment.
However, I feel sorry for you because of your poor background, so I keep you in my house out of pity.
You and I both know the cause and effect, is what I said correct?"
Xu Yun nodded and replied
"Of course."
The old man touched his long beard and continued:
"If that's the case, I'll tell you straight away, are you willing to become a member of the Su Mansion?"
As we all know.
There are two types of official place of birth certificates in the Song Dynasty.
One is an identity document, and the other is an identity badge.
As for the government registration mentioned by Lao Duguan, it actually does not refer to place of birth registration, but refers to an agreement similar to an employment contract.
Being registered as a member of a house means that you become a servant of that house, and there are contractual benefits between the two parties.
Servants have to serve the master's family, and the master's family needs to provide the agreed remuneration.
The purpose of signing this kind of agreement is mainly for the statistics of the owner's accounts, and it can also be regarded as evidence of a contract.
Another important point to explain is that naturalization does not mean selling oneself.
In the most prosperous period of many dynasties, naturalization was actually the same as joining a company today.
For example, Junyi once unearthed a naturalization contract from the Tang Xuanzong period—that is, the prosperous Kaiyuan period.
There are even as many as 47 articles describing the rights and interests of servants in the contract, almost using an exhaustive method.
Even in China today, not many companies can achieve this.
At that time, this matter was on the hot search, and many people complained, "I don't know if it was a servant or an ancestor."
Of course.
The so-called protection of servants’ rights and interests here is based on the ‘most prosperous period’.
It depends on the situation in remote areas or in ordinary times. Feudal society is not a good word, and there are many dead bodies in mass graves.
His gaze returned to its original position.
Not to mention that Bianjing currently provides excellent protection for servants, Xu Yun was bound to sign this agreement just from a mission perspective.
Therefore, when faced with the inquiry from the old capital official, he hardly hesitated and immediately handed over his hand.
"Thanks to the master for being so kind, if I refuse, wouldn't I become a person who doesn't know what is good and what is evil?"
Seeing his sincere attitude, Lao Duguan couldn't help but feel a little satisfied in his eyes.
"It's so good. It's not in vain that I show you mercy.
Please listen carefully. The servants in the palace are divided into four levels: Qingdai and Liyi. The responsibilities and status of each level are different.
For example, the mistress who fetched water for you earlier is the substitute servant, the man who tied you up yesterday is the standing servant, and I and Yue Lian are the Yi servants.
If you are naturalized, you need to start as a maid and receive three quid per month, and a small amount of annual money at the end of the year.
Food and clothing are all provided by the mansion, and the same applies to minor illnesses. But if it is a serious illness, you have to bear the cost of medicine yourself, do you understand?"
Xu Yun arched his hand again
"Understood."
Then the old governor took out a contract from his body and handed it to Xu Yun
"This is a government document. It contains servant duties. Please read it yourself. If you have any questions, just raise them."
Xu Yun took the contract and read it carefully.
be honest.
The content of this contract is actually very simple, and the content is quite formulaic.
It pretty much explains the servants' benefits and responsibilities, and there's no big problem on the surface.
The contract documents of the past dynasties actually look the same. Even the deed of betrayal is written in a very humane way, such as treating them as family members, treating them as their own children, etc.
But this kind of statement is just like many Qidian readers who say, "I'm telling you, I've ordered all the books." But a few months later, the fan value seen by the author in the background is still 0. Just watch it for fun.
Okay, I can't do it for real.
After reading the full text, Xu Yun signed his name on it without thinking too much.
