Chapter 148 Appreciating Teachers and Accepting Apprentices
Chu Mannu left and went north, accompanied by Li Huaijin.
From beginning to end, Pei Yun never asked her why she was going to the north.
It's like he didn't ask her why she wanted to kill Chu Feiyao.
But such problems did not affect the relationship between Pei Yun and her.
A woman who is willing to give her body to herself before leaving for the north.
Let our relationship remain like this.
Emotionally, we have each other in our hearts.
In terms of career, everyone has their own pursuits.
As expected, after the New Year, the briquette business fell to a low point.
This aspect is also related to today's Min County.
After so many things happened, the market for purchasing briquettes in Min County fell into a downturn.
The situation in Min County is actually much better now.
The Vichi Army seized a large amount of grain from Wazhai. With this batch of grain, the people of Min County were relieved of their urgent needs.
And Gong Zihong is the target of public criticism.
In order to alleviate the conflict and punish him for what he had done, he was dispatched to fight at the border.
It should be said that Min County now feels a bit overwhelmed.
The county magistrate died, and the commander of the army and horse department was dispatched.
These two positions are temporarily vacant until new officials are appointed by the court.
The one that has made the best recovery is Liu Mansion.
Jishi Grain Store opened again, which completely solved the famine in Min County.
However, the cancer of Liu Mansion still exists.
Speaking of Min County, there is another thing.
At least for a while, there were no bandits to be seen.
The bandit didn't say anything.
In order to avenge the death of the captain, the Wei Chi Army turned Min County upside down. They would rather kill the wrongdoer than let go of any bandit. Every one of them was liquidated.
Transformation is difficult.
Especially the transition from briquettes to porcelain.
Although the raw materials are all in the mountains, the issues involved are completely different.
If it were someone else to do this, the result would be that the entire Nanshan Village would suffer, but if the matter falls on Pei Yun, he always has a way.
Making porcelain is not an arbitrary decision.
Everything is done with a plan.
Otherwise, what do you think is the purpose of building infrastructure, burning bricks, making cement, and building houses in Nanshan Village?
These are all preparations for making porcelain.
For example, the kiln built can be used for firing porcelain.
Pei Yun moved back to Nanshan Village.
How to obtain raw materials, I have written it down on paper, and also explained it to the people on the mountain.
The matter of raw materials is not difficult, but it is time to go to Nanshan Village to make porcelain.
As for how to make porcelain, Pei Yun had to personally guide him.
Here, there is something that needs to be dealt with first.
You need to sign a labor contract with someone, and if you find someone you like, you can even develop into an apprentice.
According to ancient custom, to learn a craft, one must apprentice to a master.
When the ancients taught a craft, they did not teach it casually; they had to follow strict rules and regulations.
You know, learning a craft can ensure you have enough food and clothing.
No one wants to raise a competitor for themselves casually.
They are even more worried that their craftsmanship will be spread privately.
Therefore, becoming a disciple is a necessary etiquette.
Generally, apprentices usually meet their masters in the first month, and they first ask the "bridge builder" to introduce them.
A greeting gift is required for the first visit. If the master agrees, another auspicious day will be chosen to formally hold the apprenticeship ceremony.
To become a master, you must kneel down and bow down, and then sign a master-disciple contract.
The normal contract content includes no withdrawal midway and "three no-nos".
Even if you are burned to death, drowned in water, or beaten to death by the master during your apprenticeship, the master will not bear any responsibility.
If you speak well, only a strict teacher can teach you true skills.
It is also said that once you are a teacher, you are always a father. The ancients respected their teachers just like they respected their own father.
If someone disobeys the master, everyone will punish him. Even if he is beaten to death, the government will not care about him, but outsiders will say hello.
The apprenticeship contract is strict.
You don’t have to become a master, but if you do, you have to abide by it.
Generally, the contract between a master and an apprentice lasts for three years. During the three years, the apprentice is responsible for the apprentice's food, but the apprentice does not receive wages. He also has to serve the master well and help him with housework.
Something has happened. If you want to go home, you need Master's approval.
At the end of the three-year period, the master will give the apprentice half a set of tools to make a living.
However, the apprentice also has to work as a "companion" for the master for four years, that is, working for the master, and during this period he can receive half of his salary.
Commonly known as: Three years as an apprentice, four years as a companion.
Only after seven years of this can one truly become a disciple.
After that, you can find your own employer and start your own business, but you are not allowed to steal the master's business.
In the hearts of the ancients.
The status of a master is absolutely lofty.
The ancients said.
Everything is inferior, only reading is superior.
Being a scholar is what everyone dreams of.
But scholars must have qualifications and money.
This stumps thousands of people.
So what can you do if you can't be the scholar you dream of?
The ancients said again.
If you have a lot of money in your family, it is better to have one skill in your hand.
If you can't be a scholar, learning a craft is the next best option.
Skills in hand are golden rice bowls.
Being able to learn a craft is also what the ancients longed for.
Craftsmanship is precious, so there is a custom that skills should not be passed down lightly.
The conditions for passing on skills are strict, and many crafts are only passed down from family to family, not to people with foreign surnames, from male to female, and from elder to younger.
That's what it says.
Learned how the apprentice starved to death of the master.
If you teach a disciple with ulterior motives, it will ruin the school and bring misfortune to the school.
The master-apprentice contract has become a necessary existence. It restrains the apprentice to the greatest extent and protects the rights of the master.
It was Qin Qier's suggestion to let Pei Yun take on a disciple.
Before, when making briquettes, I had not thought about it this way.
The reason is.
Making briquettes is not a craft.
Anyone can make briquettes as long as they know the method.
Making porcelain is different.
This is a craft that can be passed down from generation to generation.
The things to be covered in it can even be bound into a book.
As a qualified housekeeper, Qin Qier must ensure Pei Yun's interests and let Pei Yun teach artificial porcelain in the name of master and apprentice.
Since Qin Qi'er wanted to do this, Pei Yun just followed her. Anyway, he didn't need to be responsible for these matters himself.
The person in charge is Sun Yaozu.
Sun Yaozu has returned to Nanshan Village from Gong Mansion.
He cares deeply about Sun Youniang.
But he is also the village chief of Nanshan Village.
After staying at Gong's house for a while, he rushed back to Nanshan Village, where there were still many things waiting for him to deal with.
When I heard that Pei Yun wanted to transform briquettes into porcelain.
Sun Yaozu knew that he would be very busy in the future.
This matter is a big one, something that will benefit future generations.
Forefathers planted trees so that future generations can enjoy the shade.
Once porcelain making is developed, even if Sun Yaozu's eyesight has become blurry, he can still see a promising future.
As long as this thing can be done, Sun Yaozu can die without regrets.
therefore.
Sun Yaozu was more active than anyone else in dealing with the matter of becoming a master and accepting a disciple.
