Chapter 348

All meals are the same - what you eat is not the point, what you talk about, and who you talk to is the point.

The meal lasted more than two hours, and the food on the table changed several times. Lu Peien, manager Yao and the beautiful female disciple of Lingshan sect all became guests at the dinner. Yan Liqiang and Zhang yourong were chatting about the whole dinner.

Yan Liqiang finally didn't say the idea and wisdom of the steam engine. After all, for Yan Liqiang, who has been a man for two generations, he is not a 15-year-old boy who is not familiar with the world. If others give him a little sunshine, he can have a bright spring. Yan Liqiang believes that with this mechanism master's attainments in machinery and manufacturing, as long as he reveals a little idea about the steam engine, Zhang yourong can definitely figure out the joints right away and quickly make the steam engine.

Yan Liqiang knows better than anyone what the role of the steam engine can bring about. This is a card in his hand. Based on his relationship with Lingshan sect and Zhang yourong, it is not enough for him to give this card to Lingshan sect and Zhang yourong in a few words. This is not in line with the principle of maximizing interests. More importantly, although Zhang yourong is a famous mechanism master all over the world, However, the title of mechanism master refers to his ability, not his character. Yan Liqiang knows nothing about what kind of person he is and what his character is. In his previous life, Yan Liqiang also saw many experts and professors who are ostensibly dignified and shameless and obscene behind the scenes, Naturally, he would not make the mistake that only children would make - equating a person's career achievements and rumored reputation with his character and morality.

When chatting with the mechanism master, Yan Liqiang was polite and reserved, but even so, Yan Liqiang let the hall leader of Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect finally understand what a bosom friend is and what wine is less than a thousand cups for a bosom friend for the first time in his life. Whenever Zhang yourong said anything, Yan Liqiang knew what he meant, If you can discuss with him and hit it off immediately, you can chat with him in an instant, which makes the mechanism master of Lingshan sect more and more happy.

The people listening to Yan Liqiang's eyes slowly changed from surprise to admiration. Lu Peien, in particular, watched Yan Liqiang and famous mechanism masters talking at the dinner table without stage fright. Even when Yan Liqiang was talking, Zhang yourong could listen attentively. His understanding of Yan Liqiang was refreshed again

Yan Liqiang and Zhang yourong discussed from sailing to metal winding, then to the refraction and reflection of light, the density of matter, the sound principle of objects, and then to the transformation of water in liquid, solid and gaseous state. Finally, they talked about weights and measures

"In my opinion, if the way of mechanism and objects is to be further developed in the whole Han Empire, it is imperative to unify the weights and measures in the Han Empire. When it is the basis, many measurement standards have greatly restricted the development of the way of mechanism and objects. For example, the size of the volume, we have stone, Dendrobium, fight, rise, bean and combination, The minimum volume of the measurement is the size of the two, the ten is a liter, the four is a bean, the ten is a bucket, the five is a Dendrobium, and the ten is a stone. These measures are not weak in daily life, and they are barely enough, but in the way of mechanisms and objects, they are extremely rough and can't be used. For example, this glass of wine in my hand, It is difficult to accurately measure and describe the volume of this wine cup. For ten craftsmen, ten people may have ten answers. It should be noted that the way of Gewu mechanism is the same as cultivating internal skills. It is often lost and fallacious for thousands of miles. If the way of Gewu mechanism wants to make great development, it is mentioned that everything in the world is as big as mountains, as small as dust, how heavy it is, and how long and wide it is, The volume and geometry can be measured and described, so that 10000 craftsmen can get the same results with unified standards. They can distinguish right and wrong at a glance, rather than saying each number... "

"Yes, yes, that's the truth!" Hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Zhang yourong clapped his thigh excitedly. "The first rule I set up in Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect is to strictly use public tools and unify all the measurements of Qianji hall. It's not as good as this. The craftsmen in the hall can't make great progress. The weights and measures used by the Han Empire are indeed too rough. In addition to volume, there is also the measurement of time, The measurement of temperature and angle are too rough,... "

"Indeed, for example, if the measurement of time and temperature can be more accurate, such as the weapon smelting and quenching in my blacksmith workshop, ordinary craftsmen need to learn this for at least a few years. They all rely on experience to grasp and control and see the fire. If there is an accurate measurement to describe how long an embryo is put into the fire with high temperature, Then take it out and put it into the quenching liquid with low temperature. How long will it take to complete the quenching process? Even an apprentice can master this process in a few days. At the same time, many valuable experiences and skills accumulated by predecessors can be saved in writing as long as there is an accurate description, so that thousands of people can see it, It will not be lost and need to be taught by hand. At that time, there will be an unprecedented situation in the way of organs and objects in the Han Empire... "

The mechanism master of Lingshan sect kept nodding. Zhang yourong was trying to say something, but someone knocked on the door of the room outside.

"What's up?" Lu Peien asked in the room.

"Sixth master, the waiter of the restaurant has been here several times. He said that the restaurant was closed two quarters of an hour ago..."

Lu Peien glanced at steward Yao, while steward Yao looked at Zhang yourong, "hall leader Zhang, look..."

"That's all for today. It's really fun to chat with brother Li Qiang today!" Zhang yourong looked at Yan Liqiang with an unfinished face, but he still stood up.

"Ha ha, I will benefit a lot if I can get the master's advice..."

"Brother Li Qiang, don't be modest. If you are obsessed with the way of mechanism and objects, the title of the first mechanism master of the Han Empire must be yours in the future. If you don't mind how old I am, you can call me brother Rong later. Don't be so polite!"

"Well, I'll call you brother Rong later!" Yan Liqiang hit the snake with the stick without affectation. He opened his mouth directly and called brother Zhang yourong.

Zhang yourong pondered for a moment, directly took out a pure gold waist token from his girdle, handed it to Yan Liqiang, and simply said, "this is the guest's waist token of Qianji Hall of Lingshan sect. Brother Liqiang, take it. With the knowledge of brother Liqiang, it's more than enough to be the guest of Qianji hall. This guest's identity has no restrictions and requirements on me, But if you have any trouble in the future, you can show this waist token. Our guest Qing waist token of Lingshan sect still has some weight in the Jianghu and the imperial capital. Friends everywhere will give some face even if they are officials! "

Yan Liqiang glanced at the face of steward Yao and the beautiful female disciple of Lingshan sect. He knew that the waist token of guest Qing of Lingshan sect was not ordinary. I'm afraid it was more than that. He laughed and took the pure gold waist token, "thank you, brother Rong!"

……

The party came out of the sky. There were few pedestrians on the street outside. Although the rain had completely stopped, the sky was still gloomy and there was no light. Zhang yourong had to stay in the imperial capital for a while. During this time, he lived in the imperial capital courtyard of Lingshan sect. After inviting Yan Liqiang to visit the imperial capital courtyard of Lingshan sect, The party got on two carriages at the gate of Tianwaitian, and then the carriages separated in different directions.

Under the light of the two carriage lights, the wheels of the carriage were driving slowly on the wet streets of the imperial capital. From time to time, they pressed against the shallow water on the ground. The sound of clear hoofs rang through the streets with few pedestrians. In the carriage, Yan Liqiang took out the identity token of the Lingshan sect guest and played with it in his hand.

The waist token is gold and very exquisite. The words Lingshan Keqing on it are very eye-catching.

"Li Qiang, do you know that the guest Qing waist token of Lingshan sect is extraordinary!" Lu Peien, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the waist token tightly and made no secret of the envy in his eyes.

"Brother Lu, you know what? Tell me quickly!"

"I also heard the old man say that as long as you carry this waist token, you are protected by Lingshan sect. Casual people will never dare to annoy you. In addition, Li Qiang, do you know the biggest advantage of owning this guest Qing waist token?"

"What is it?"

"In the future, Li Qiang, if you have blood, bones and flesh, you can directly send them to the Mountain Gate of Lingshan sect, become a disciple of Lingshan sect and cultivate the excellent and unique skills of Lingshan sect!" Speaking of this, Lu Peien smiled bitterly, "this is something that the old man has been trying to do for so many years. I didn't expect Li Qiang to do it just after a meal. The imperial capital is indeed a place of opportunity. Li Qiang's coming here is like a fish in water and a dragon in the cloud. I found that Li Qiang you are more and more invisible..."

"If brother Lu likes this waist token, I'll give it to brother Lu!" Yan Liqiang said and handed over his waist token, as if he didn't care.

Lu Peien was amused by Yan Liqiang. "Do you think I can use this waist token? It's something given to you by the first mechanism master of Lingshan sect. Lingshan sect will certainly record it. If others take it to cheat, they'll kill themselves..."

Yan Li forced a smile and took the waist token back. "By the way, brother Lu, stop the carriage in front and let me down. I'll go out of the city myself!"

"Now I'm afraid the gate will be closed?"

"There should be some time before closing the gate. Brother Lu, just go back by yourself!"

"Why don't I see you off? If the gate is closed, you'll stay in Ganzhou guild hall tonight and go back to Luyuan tomorrow morning without delay!"

"I've just been in the room for so long. I'm a little stuffy. I'll go down and get some air. If the gate is closed and I can't go back, I'll come back to Ganzhou guild hall to find brother Lu!"

Hearing Yan Liqiang's words, Lu Peien stopped insisting, stopped the carriage at the intersection in front, put Yan Liqiang down, and then the two sides separated at the intersection.

Yan Liqiang, who got out of the carriage, took a deep breath of the cold air. He didn't have to look back. He knew that his tail was still following him. It was on the street 50 meters away. When the man saw himself coming down, he suddenly stopped and hid behind the sign of a closed lantern shop on the street

I've been staring at you all night. I'm really dedicated

Yan Liqiang smiled coldly, then took a big step towards the front, followed by his figure, and then quietly continued to follow Yan Liqiang

After less than ten minutes, just turned a corner, Yan Liqiang's figure disappeared in the sight of the man behind him. The figure behind quickly followed up. But when I came over, the street was empty, and only a few pedestrians, cars and horses were faintly in the distance. Yan Liqiang's figure suddenly disappeared. The man panicked and rushed forward, but looking left, right, front and back, he really couldn't find Yan Liqiang's figure“ Shit, was it found that the boy was really oily... "The man muttered to himself and spit on the ground“ Are you looking for me? " A quiet voice suddenly appeared behind the man. The man was startled and slowly turned his head. The man standing behind him was not Yan Liqiang. Yan Liqiang in the dark had only one pair of eyes shining. There was an inexplicably thrilling and cold breath on the whole person. The person wanted to cry, but before he could react, Yan Liqiang's hand had fallen on the spine of his neck. With a gentle pinch, his whole body was numb and lost all his ability to move in an instant, Yan Liqiang, like a predator, held the man's neck and dragged him into a dark alley nearby... In the blink of an eye, there were several low and inaudible painful groans and screams in the dark alley, but it was silent for a moment. A few minutes later, the mountain breeze, tidying up his clothes, slowly came out of the dark alley, looked left and right, showed a cold smile on his face, and then disappeared into the darkness...
