Chapter 5 Planning for Life
Since he is his own person, the chip also said that both of them can regulate genes. Zhou Shixiong did not hesitate to input 100 robots to the two of them. After all, regulating genes is not a simple matter, and it cannot be completed in just a few seconds. After lunch, Zhou Shixiong brought two followers to the elephant railing. He planned to build a small building here, which could not only shelter the elephant from the wind and rain, but also have a nest himself.
"Young Master, this place is not suitable." Liu Xiucai certainly didn't want Zhou Shixiong to live outside the village. It was not safe and dirty, which was really not a good choice. Zhou Shixiong didn't think so. It was safe? With five elephants protecting him, it was not as safe as here. Speaking of dirty things, build a bamboo building a bigger one and live on the side of Linjiang. It tasted nothing and was very clean.
Seeing that Zhou Shixiong insisted that Liu Xiucai had no choice, he planned to go back to the village to summon villagers to help. He said that it was the villagers, except for a few people who were free people who moved to him, most of them were Liu Xiucai's slaves. However, Liu Xiucai treated people well and did not treat them like other slave owners. Zhou Shixiong rejected Liu Xiucai's kindness and just asked him to provide tools for cutting bamboo and logging wood. He wanted to build a bamboo building by himself.
Zhou Shixiong did this not to cherish Liu Xiucai's slaves, but to leave some time for himself. He planned to think about where he would go in the future during the construction of a bamboo building.
Liu Xiucai provided two axes and a one-hand saw. The all-iron axe made Zhou Si and Zhou Wu very envious. They each held an axe and seemed to be holding a pet. Several mountains here belonged to Liu Xiucai. According to him, the young master could do whatever he wanted.
Although Zhou Shixiong had never built a bamboo building, he had looked at the bamboo building from top to bottom. It was no longer difficult for him to build a bamboo building. The three of them climbed directly to the hill behind the village. Zhou Shixiong estimated the distance and started logging in a place with lush trees. The two brothers went to the foot of the mountain near the river to cut bamboo.
The saw that Liu Xiucai gave Zhou Shixiong was a single-handed saw used by carpenters, which was a bit unattractive for logging. However, when Zhou Shixiong saw that the two little guys liked axes so much, he didn't make a sound and used it. Anyway, he didn't plan to build a bamboo house as soon as possible. After all, it would be better to think clearly about the future whereabouts.
While thinking about his thoughts, Zhou Shixiong saw the tree slowly. When he came to his senses, more than a dozen big trees had fallen behind him. "Huh? Why don't I feel tired?" It shouldn't be so easy to saw so many trees that were thicker than their thighs? Zhou Shixiong was a little disbelief, but no matter how he moved his hands and feet, he felt comfortable in body and mind, and he didn't feel tired at all. It was really incredible.
After calculation, Zhou Shixiong found that there were too many saws, but even if there were too many, it would not be possible to plant them back. So just use them as material for furniture. Zhou Shixiong didn't feel ashamed at all, so he looked for two boys with a saw. The two brothers were used to doing work and had good tools in their hands. They were so excited to cut bamboo. Zhou Shixiong sawed sixteen trees, and each of them cut more than twenty bamboos.
"Okay, tie it first, and drag it back with an elephant later." After explaining to the two brothers, Zhou Shixiong walked back to the foot of the mountain, picked two adult male elephants, wore a huge collar with a rope, and hung it around the necks of both elephants. Zhou Shixiong's craftsmanship is very good, and the collars of both elephants are very fit. Not only Zhou Shixiong was satisfied, but both elephants were also satisfied. He stroked Zhou Shixiong with his nose and shouted from time to time.
It was simple to have an elephant to help. Before dark, the trees and bamboo were transported to the foot of the mountain. Zhou Shixiong and his two brothers cleaned up the branches of the trees and returned the leaves to the elephant. This result was a joy.
Liu Xiucai came to find Zhou Shixiong to have dinner. He was very surprised when he saw the rope collars on the necks of the two elephants. Usually, he used elephants to pull things and tied the rope around the neck of the elephant, but as long as he pulled it a few times, the neck of the elephant would be worn. Zhou Shixiong pulled sixteen trees with an elephant, and there was not even a red mark on the necks of the two elephants. This kind of collar is so good.
Zhou Shixiong could not explain the relevant principles of the area of stress and friction to Liu Xiucai, so he could only smile faintly, and seemed to be a master to accept Liu Xiucai's admiration. Liu Xiucai had to worship him, cutting sixteen trees in one afternoon, and he had never heard of this speed. Zhou Shixiong asked Zhou Wu curiously, how many trees his brother cut out a day, and Zhou Wu stretched out a slap and added a finger.
Zhou Shixiong thought that these two brothers were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and their brother was amazing at 18 years old. Compared with him, he was a little different, so he didn't take it seriously. After dinner, the two brothers were taken home by Liu Xiucai. According to Liu Xiucai, since they were servants of the head of the family, they should be treated the same as him, so they would just live there in the future.
Zhou Shixiong didn't care about these things, sat by the fire pit and watched the flames, and continued to think about his thoughts. In the afternoon, Zhou Shixiong had already asked himself whether to learn the time travelers in the novel to become king and dominate history, or to honestly find a safe place to live. Zhou Shixiong also thought that Bu Cai Tian was his favorite. The premise was that he was a reader, and it would be good to substitute the story of the novel Pig Feet.
The problem is that he has now become a member of the time travelers and wants to start a new life in the Ming Dynasty. After inventory, Zhou Shixiong is not only good at taming animals, but also inexplicably curing skills, what other skills can he do?
What transcends the ancients' knowledge? Mathematics, physics and chemistry? Some of them are indeed there, but those knowledge are just knowledge, and it is unknown how helpful it will be to his survival in this era. Mathematics, physics and chemistry have been given to teachers a long time ago, and like other time travelers, Zhou Shixiong asked himself that he did not have the ability to build glass, cement, and muskets and cannons.
So what are your advantages? If you don’t understand the details of history, you have problems climbing a big tree to enjoy the cool air, and you may not have the opportunity to become king or dominate. If you rely on your magical ability to cure diseases, you can make a living in the whole world. Since becoming king or dominate is rejected, then stabilize first, open up the name of a miracle doctor, and use this ability to make your first pot of gold.
After thinking about the future direction, Zhou Shixiong relaxed and slept quietly for the first time.
In the next few days, Zhou Shixiong took Zhou Si and Zhou Wu and started to process the wood under the guidance of Liu Xiucai. It turned out that the newly cut trees could not be built directly, and they had to be dried and dehydrated, etc. The bamboo also had to be treated, otherwise it would soon become insects. As a result, after Liu Xiucai generously took out the combined materials and handed them over to Liu Xiucai for processing. Then, Zhou Shixiong and the other two began to learn how to make bamboo strips with two bamboo carpenters.
Zhou Shixiong learned very quickly, it should be said that it was very fast. Not long after the two bamboo carpenters demonstrated, Zhou Shixiong could do exactly the same. Liu Xiucai kept watching and admired Zhou Shixiong's learning ability. At the same time, he was very concerned about moving the treasured books to Zhou Shixiong's small building, and paired them with precious oil lamps, allowing Zhou Shixiong to spend time at night.
This excuse Zhou Shixiong could not refuse. It was indeed a torture for him to go to bed so early at night. Since Liu Xiucai had good intentions, Zhou Shixiong also began to learn traditional Chinese characters. After so many days, Zhou Shixiong doubted his learning ability. If it was just the function of a visual recorder, it would be fine to remember it after reading it, but the ability to do it by remembering it does not mean that you can do it well. In fact, Zhou Shixiong's ability to do it many times stronger than before crossing the road.
Take writing as an example. Before the time travel, Zhou Shixiong wrote the pen letters similar to those of tadpole, so he would not write well if he used them less. But now he learned brush words. The first time he wrote the tadpole word, and the second time he wrote it was considered a dog paddle. The third time he wrote it may not be appropriate to describe it as a dog running, and the fish entering the water and birds flying in the sky are almost the same.
After practicing calligraphy for a few nights, Zhou Shixiong copied a copy of the Doctrine of the Mean to Liu Xiucai, and Liu Xiucai was as good as a jade pendant. "The young master is really a god. He could have reached such a state after only writing a few days of writing. If it weren't for the old slave's experience of the young master learning calligraphy, he would never believe that the young master had only written a few days of writing."
Zhou Shixiong likes this feeling of being praised very much. In order to listen to this kind of beautification several times, during the period when building the house, he memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, and wrote one copy for Liu Xiucai. When Liu Xiucai held a thick handwritten book, he could no longer say what to praise. The only book in the village, Zhou Shixiong was on his bookshelf. Needless to say, the book in his hand must have been written by Zhou Shixiong.
Let’s not talk about the right or wrong content, just look at the precise interval between each small regular script. If you tell others that this book is handwritten, no one will believe it. If you say it’s printed, you must nod.
"Young master, I advise you again to go to the Central Plains. With the ability of the young master, let alone the scholar, it is absolutely not difficult to get a Jinshi." Liu Xiucai's earnestness made Zhou Shixiong a little excited. In this era, having an identity and not having an identity are different. When an ordinary person wants to leap into the dragon gate, the imperial examination is the fastest way.
"Old Liu, the eight-legged essay was taken in the imperial examination. I don't know how to write the eight-legged essay. What you said is a bit fake!" Zhou Shixiong planned to skip this topic with a joke, but Liu Xiucai shook his head, "Young Master, eight-legged essay is not difficult. As long as the foundation is laid, eight-legged essays are not difficult at all. If you don't believe it, take these old slaves' essays to read. In less than three days, the young master will definitely be able to write a better eight-legged essay than the old slave."
Since Liu Xiucai was so confident, Zhou Shixiong was not easy to try and lost his chain without even trying. As a result, he would really write it after reading these eight-legged essays. He would solve the topic, follow the topic, start the lecture, start the stock, start the stock, start the stock, middle stock, back stock, and tie the stock. These things seem very complicated in the first year of junior high school, but in fact they are the same as modern topic essays. People who have written essays don’t have to worry about not being able to play.
The real difficulty lies in writing your own words in classical Chinese, which is the real difficulty for Zhou Shixiong. The solution is also simple: reading books, reading a large number of books, learning how others speak in classical Chinese, and when any sentence can be spoken in classical Chinese, it means that you are qualified.
Of course it is easy to talk about such things, but it is difficult to do it. Just like modern people who learn foreign languages, various grammatical words have been summarized, and as long as the learners remember them carefully, they can learn them. In fact, this method of doing things behind closed doors is difficult to teach people who really learn foreign languages well, at most they teach some dumb people who can write and speak.
