Three Kingdoms

Chapter 122 The inheritance of craftsmen

When Huang Chengyan returned to Huangjiayin Yard, he found that there were several large and small water saws in his workshop. Several apprentices were using pulley blocks to lift the large materials onto the operating table, and then stuck them into the wooden trough. In the process, the large saw that keeps going back and forth replaces manual work to cut the aniseed.

Fei Qian and two or three master craftsmen are observing the operation of the water saw, but it seems to be pretty good so far, with good stability and operability. It saves a lot of labor, and saves some apprentice manpower, and in Huang Under the arrangement of the master craftsman, I joined other processes...

Several Huang family craftsmen present were very excited. It turned out that they came to help at the request of Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family. At first, they thought it was just an errand to show their strength, but there was not much benefit. However, they unexpectedly came out halfway. A Feiqian made a thing like a water saw, plus a rope set that can easily lift heavy objects, that is, a pulley set. It was like a big pie fell from the sky. Everyone was smiling and wishing for it. How many times will this kind of errand happen...

The only one who wasn't very happy was Huang Dou.

I originally thought that this rope-making group could be used as a unique skill of my own, but I didn't expect that Fei Qian would bring this thing out in front of so many people. Originally, this thing was not complicated, but now it's great. Seeing those few With the excited eyes of the craftsman, he knew that the secret that was originally his own was now known to everyone...

But Huang Dou couldn't say anything. After all, this thing was originally taught by Fei Qian. He felt unhappy, so he had no choice but to face the problem. Otherwise, what else could he do?

The head of the Huang family, Huang Chengyan, was an experienced man. After walking around for a while, he roughly understood what was going on. He quickly summoned all the craftsmen present in front of Fei Qian and claimed that the water saw was Fei Qian's idea. However, several of the craftsmen present It was assembled by the master craftsmen themselves, so these master craftsmen can pass it on to their immediate family members, but if they want to pass it on to outsiders, they must obtain Fei Qian's consent.

The rope system was jointly developed by Fei Qian and Huang Dou. Now that the master craftsmen understand the structure, individuals can use it, but they need the consent of Fei Qian and Huang Dou to teach it.

Finally, Huang Chengyan said with a very formal face: "This is a major inheritance matter. Please be careful. If there is any violation, don't blame me for destroying his brand!"

Huang Chengyan said it seriously, and several master craftsmen, including Huang Dou, also agreed seriously. After all, this is related to your own brand and your family's livelihood, so you can't joke about it, and inheriting unique skills should follow the rules, so none of the craftsmen present had any objections.

After the craftsmen dispersed, Huang Dou had a smile on his face. He specially bowed his hands to Huang Chengyan and Fei Qian before going back to work.

Fei Qian finally understood the meaning of Huang Chengyan's actions and quickly thanked Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan smiled and shook his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Ziyuan has never been exposed to these things. It's normal to not understand them. It's not a problem."

Huang Chengyan once again explained to Fei Qian the inheritance of craftsmen, and Fei Qian finally understood some of the underlying rules of craftsmen in the Han Dynasty.

It basically took more than ten years for a craftsman in the Han Dynasty to go from being an apprentice to a master craftsman. Under normal circumstances, the master would not teach anything at the beginning. The apprentices only did some basic rough work. When the master felt that the basic skills were solid, , they will teach some techniques according to the situation, and these techniques are usually not taught all at once. After all, this is also the source of the master's family's livelihood...

But there was one thing that Fei Qian didn't understand very well, so he said: "Huang Gong, if you put it this way, what if... this hasn't been fully taught yet and something might happen..."

Huang Chengyan nodded, understanding what Fei Qian meant, and said: "Natural and man-made disasters are inevitable. Therefore, the Huang family's practice is that in addition to teaching it to his apprentices, he also needs to teach it to his own people. If there is an emergency, the person in the room will teach the techniques recorded to the eldest disciple, and the eldest disciple will have to bear the responsibility of supporting him; if both the couple encounter misfortune, the disciple can rely on the reputation of the Huang family's craftsmen , find other craftsmen of the same level to learn from... But even so, there are unfortunately those who have lost their inheritance..."

This is the helplessness of the craftsmen.

This is not only true for craftsmen, but also for many other professions. Even though the Huang family craftsmen are now directing the scene in a clear and logical manner, they are based on many years of naturally formed experience and have formed an instinctive reaction. How about the personnel? The deployment, time and material consumption of the process are all stored in the mind, so Fei Qian can spontaneously adjust to the best state without Fei Qian's command.

But if it were another person, or if it were not a group of craftsmen from the Huang family who were already very familiar with each other, then various problems would inevitably arise when working together.

Fei Qian asked again: "In that case, why not record a rule for dissemination?"

Huang Chengyan shook his head and sighed: "It's easier said than done. If you let it be made into a physical object, there is basically no problem in choosing anyone among the craftsmen present, but it is difficult to write it down... Besides, it falls in words. , it is difficult to describe clearly due to space limitations..."

Fei Qian also agreed with this point, nodded and said: "Huang Gong said the same thing. Qian had read a fragment of Hu Feizi's chapter before, and it was also obscure and difficult to understand, and there were many unclear things..."

When Huang Chengyan heard the word "Hu Feizi", he caught Fei Qian in surprise and asked repeatedly: "Hu Feizi?! What Ziyuan just said was Hu Feizi? Where is the broken chapter? Can you let me take a look?"

Immediately, Huang Chengyan realized that he was a little embarrassed, so he let go of his hand, a little embarrassed, but very reluctant to say: "...If it is, if it is inconvenient, that's it..."

After all, the books of the Han Dynasty are priceless, and they are antiques passed down from ancient times in the pre-Qin Dynasty. In the eyes of certain people, not to mention being worth tens of thousands of gold, it is not too much to say that they are worth a fortune. If they were other books, that would be fine, but Hu Feizi's three This word is completely different in the eyes of a family like the Huang family, which inherits the tradition of making utensils...

Fei Qian didn't expect Huang Chengyan to react so strongly, but since the Huang family helped him make arrows, they didn't say what kind of compensation they would receive. Although Pang Tong said he wouldn't owe the Huang family any favors, Fei Qian, who didn't understand why, still felt a little uncomfortable. end.

Since Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family, attaches so much importance to the fragmented volume of Hu Feizi, Fei Qian feels that he might as well be more generous. If the Huang family mentions making arrows in the future, then this can be regarded as a way to repay the friendship this time, right?

So Fei Qian said to Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family: "If Mr. Huang wants to see it, Qian will of course allow it, but..."

"But what?"

"It's just that this fragment of scroll is still under Lushan Mountain. I just need to ask Uncle Fu to go back and get it."

"Okay, ah, no, I'd better go and get it with him..." In order to fall in love with Hu Feizi's broken chapter earlier, Huang Chengyan was not even willing to wait a little longer, so he went back with Uncle Fu. Lushan went to get it himself...
