Chapter 239 Don't be a nerd
The servant in the shop next to him was obedient. Seeing that Xu Ping was standing aside was not justified, he called a companion to bring a table and a stool, put it under the shade of the tree for Xu Ping to sit on, and then served tea again.
Xu Ping sat down, took a sip of tea, and saw the officials of the museum looking around the two cars, looking up and down, shaking their heads and turning around, each of them getting confused, and they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
It doesn't matter if you can't tell the truth. The theory is a thousand years. It seems simple to pick it up, but it doesn't break the window paper, but it really makes people have nowhere to start. But you have to have a basic idea of what problems to solve, what aspects to start, and how to do it step by step. Even if knowledge is limited, it will be the same for people to see it.
You can't look left and right, just think about when you have a sudden idea, and suddenly realize that this is not the attitude that a well-educated scholar should have when doing things. It is not the child who has not learned knowledge, just think about brain teasers.
Xu Ping waved to the servant in the shop and told him to come over, and wrote a few lines of words on the table.
After folding the paper, Xu Ping said to Li Zhaoshu and Ye Shen, who were a little embarrassed over there, "Judge Li, Judge Ye, Judge Guo, I am just having fun playing games with a few young people. Come and have a tea."
Li Zhaoshu and Ye Shen were next to the car and didn't know what to do. They were both old and could no longer use this brain with young people. When they heard Xu Ping's greeting, they hurriedly pulled Guo Zi, who was eager to try, to the shade of the tree.
The servant brought a stool and let the three of them sit. Ye Shen bowed to Xu Ping with a little embarrassedly: "I am so old that I can no longer do such things."
Xu Ping smiled: "It's just a joke with young people, let's sit here and watch them."
After saying that, he pushed the folded paper in his hand to Ye Shen and said to him: "This matter is extremely simple. As long as I do what I wrote on the paper, I will do it for the middle. I bought a car and went straight to him and took it home."
Ye Guan looked at the notes on the table and didn't know what was written, but it seemed very simple. He respectfully arranged it on the table and said, "Then the three of us will be a witness."
Guo Zi had already had some clues just now and was itchy. He bowed to Xu Ping: "Second envoy, the lower official was there just now, and he was thinking, either, nor was he or she or not. Why not do this? I also wrote a few words on the paper, and when I saw it, I saw how different the statements from the deputy envoy were, it was just a joke."
Xu Ping looked at Guo Zi and nodded with a smile.
The one who is most likely to have a clue among these people is Guo Zi. As the saying goes, Wan Hui's children are all geniuses. Guo Zi spoke only at the age of eight, and he was indeed extremely smart when he grew up. Unfortunately, his intelligence is not about reading and writing articles, but about studying various practical techniques. This era is not valued. If he was born hundreds of years late, he should be a great inventor.
He picked up the pen and dipped it ink. After thinking about it, Guo Zi wrote his thoughts on the paper and folded them up.
The sun gradually sets westward, and the feeling of heat disappears. The cool breeze outside the city blows on your body, making you feel extremely comfortable.
Xu Ping called the supervisor in the shop and discussed with Ye Shen and the other two about what to eat tonight and preparing drinks. The few people there were still thinking hard by the car.
When the fiery red glow reflected the sky, Xu Ping whispered: "Come here, it's getting late, and it's ready for supper!"
Everyone arrived at the table, Xu Ping pointed to the paper and pen on the table and said, "Write all the principles you think on paper and hand them over to Judge Ye. I have written words and papers there, and if they match it, it is considered a middle-class."
Speaking of this, Xu Ping smiled and said to everyone: "If you all get it right, I will send a carriage each. From now on, the staff of the museum and the pavilion will take a carriage, which is also a grand event for the court."
Several people looked around, but no one came out to answer. Seeing the scene awkward, Wang Gongchen came out to bow to Xu Ping and said, "I'm not hiding the deputy envoy, I thought about it all the time. Even if I thought about it, I couldn't even convince myself, so I won't be ugly."
"This kind of thing is not accurate. Maybe you want to take it off for a moment and miss the right idea? No matter what you think, write it down, and Judge Ye will decide. Even if you really don't, you can write the word "no"."
After hearing Xu Ping's words, Wang Gongchen had no choice but to come forward and write and hand it over to Ye Shen.
Ye Shen took Wang Gongchen's handwriting and read it, then unfolded what Xu Ping had written before, and couldn't help but frown, sighed in his heart, and shook his head as he looked at Xu Ping.
Wang Gongchen bowed his hand and stepped aside. He knew that he had no clue at all.
After that, everyone else came up one after another, wrote down their opinions and handed them to Ye Shen. Ye Shen looked at them one by one, without saying a word, and kneaded the paper and put them away.
Ouyang Xiu looked annoyed, and the last one left the table, couldn't help but say to Ye Shen: "Judge Ye, what did Deputy Envoy Xu write about? Can we know?"
Seeing Xu Ping nodding, Ye Shen unfolded the paper that Xu Ping had handed to him before and said, "If you don't read it to you, some of you will be dissatisfied. What Deputy Envoy Xu wrote here is that as long as someone comes forward to take the empty cart and walks a few steps, and then clearly explains that the two-wheeled cart is heavy in front of it and can move forward without force, even if it is a mid-range, no one can do it!"
Xu Ping put down the teacup in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Actually, when doing this game today, you don't have to explain the principles of these two cars clearly. It depends on whether you are doing things in a organized manner and whether you have any clues. Let you find the principle of using a two-wheeled carriage to transport goods. At least you have to move up the car and take it up a few steps to try it yourself. There are two-wheeled carriages there, and there are four-wheeled carriages on the other side. The horses are unloaded. How can you not pull them and try it?"
Speaking of this, Xu Ping's expression was indeed not very good: "Scholars are not just reading books. Reading is just learning the principles in books. You can't just keep your fingers from being in the spring! This is how you go to prefectures and counties to serve as relatives. Is it still the same? Geng asked slaves and we asked maids, sitting upright in the high hall, knowing nothing about the world, but thinking that you know everything in the sky and the earth, and the yin and yang and the five elements! As an official, you can only hand over the affairs to the clerks under your charge, and let them play with you officials in your palms! The reason does not require you to make it clear in a while, so you must at least know how to do things. If you have an attitude, no one is qualified today!"
Ye Qingchen, Zeng Gongliang and others understood what Xu Ping meant. These days they followed Zhu Ji to learn mathematics. Everyone complained in their hearts and thought they were all high-ranking Jinshi, so why should they learn these methods of clerks? With this idea, they were not serious when studying. Zhu Ji was just a low-level military officer, so he dared not say anything, and the effect was very bad.
Xu Ping took this to tell everyone that if you don’t learn some things and only read the books of sages, you will never understand them. In the future, you will be ashamed of officials and know nothing about specific matters. After all, you will be just a clay puppet in the eyes of clerks.
Seeing that everyone looked different, Xu Ping said again: "Do you think I'm talking about it simply? Tell you that the principle of using a two-wheeled carriage is not very complicated. What I'm talking about is the fundamental one. Let's call a craftsman in the field to explain the truth clearly for you and see if you are wrong about not taking action!"
