Chapter 60 Stupid bird learns to fly

The pain of the military class can be imagined, but compared with the "Hundred Works Class", it is a piece of cake.This was the dirtiest, tiring, and bitterest period of Cao Cao's four-year college life. What is "governing the world"?Taixue education requires her students not to sit in sedan chairs and show off their majesty and majesty.In reality, any official should start with actual work.First of all, county-level officials are not allowed to bring family members, and most of the daily chores are performed by subordinates, or they simply do it themselves.At that time, when transportation, construction, and handicrafts were underdeveloped, no matter if you were a farmer or an official, you had to do a lot of work by yourself.

Therefore, Tai students must master the skills needed for life while learning textbook knowledge.To be a good carpenter, to build a good wall, to weave a good mat, to weave baskets, hoop buckets, wash stones, smash copper basins, support pots and stoves, polish mirrors, forge iron, and cast...all of these are beneficial to them. future life. After training in the military class, Cao Cao believes that nothing can trouble him.Encouraged by my husband, I took several classes in one go: carpentry, house building, casting... I learned as much as I could. Cao Cao originally thought that carpentry was a labor of strength, but the skills required far surpassed strength.Sitting opposite Zhang Miao under the scorching sun, they pulled a big saw and split a long piece of wood.The wood fell down again and again, and the saw blade was broken and bent again and again. After half an hour of pulling, I had to file the saw teeth with a file to make the saw teeth sharp. The body is full of ink.Also learn to use chisels, planes, drill holes, make falcons, and drill holes.It's really interlaced like a mountain. If you conquer a city, you may not be a good carpenter.

In carpentry class, Cao Cao fiddled with axes and planes. His hands were blistered and his body was bruised. He couldn't lie down when he was sleeping, and couldn't hold his chopsticks when eating.It took several days to make a few small benches that were unstable and could not stand up straight.He sat up on his buttocks, swayed, and was finally thrown to the ground.It's true that people's work is not strenuous. Although he is an expensive student, compared with ordinary craftsmen, he is not even an apprentice. In the smelting class, Cao Cao, Hu Muban, Zhang Miao, etc. were busy pulling bellows, adding charcoal fire, and watching the heat.Take out the hot iron bars from the stove, swing the sledgehammer, and hit each other violently, making dust all over your head, face, and body.The resulting iron sword is not a sword, a spear is not a spear, and it is not a sickle, so it has to be put back to continue calcining, clamped out to continue beating, and another thing that is completely different.

In the Baigong class, what I saw the most was the frustrated and busy figures of the students.It is such a group of stupid birds who learned to fly, after being forged in a furnace, they grew into imperial eagles. In the class of building a house, Cao Cao built the house, and the openings reserved for the doors and windows were either large or small, and they were obviously crooked.Without the roof, the whole house collapsed.The lodging clods and stones buried Cao Cao below. Seeing that Cao Cao was buried, the students rushed to rescue him. After Cao Cao was rescued limping and covered in mud, he continued to pick up the trowel to rebuild the wall without saying a word.After building it up, it fell down again, and after it fell down, it was built again. In the end, all the adobe was rotten, leaving only a few pieces of wood on the window sill and the door. Finally, a house about the size of a pigsty was built, which tortured their classmates to death. exhausted.

The teachers in the class don't feel that they are doing useless work.This kind of experience has at least one advantage. These arrogant and self-righteous Tai students never dare to look down on ordinary people with skills. When Cao Cao saw that Hu's class had made a decent basket, he also joined in the fun. He didn't understand how the warp and weft threads were jumping and weaving. Yuan Shu made a good mat. The first reed mat he made sat under his butt all day long like a baby.He would show off to everyone that he made it up by himself.From then on, Yuan Shu fell in love with weaving technology. Whether he was fighting or marching, he always carried bamboo strips or reeds with him, and used them whenever he had time.

Cao Cao dropped these annoying, delicate jobs that only women would do, and learned to chisel stones.But the ten fingers were worn out, and they didn't chisel out a straight line or a plane.Round or square, it looks like a stone wax gourd. After failing again and again, Cao Cao's classmates suffered from the tempering and failure of "Hundred Craftsmen". Everything has an inherent reason, and mastering the classics cannot create a qualified talent for governing the world. The exhaustion and hard work of the "Hundred Workers" have polished Cao Cao and his classmates. Will it enable them to understand the truth of governing the world?
