Compared with the thumb piano, piano production is undoubtedly a long process. At the end of another semester, Li Jianghu is still pulling the wire.It's not that he didn't work hard enough, it's that Master Jia San's requirements are too high.It took more than 6 months to pull the steel wires, and only 5 were qualified. He wanted to cry when he said it.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was the third master of Rongguo Mansion, and would give him some subsidies every month, he would have long since given up on it.

He even doubted whether he was a qualified craftsman.

"Hey! Another one was broken." Thinking about it, he shook his hand and pulled out another one.But even if he didn't shake his hand, I'm afraid that what he pulled out would be extremely difficult to meet the requirements of the third master!

But to pull a steel wire, it is not enough to just have a uniform thickness. The thickness must be in accordance with the requirements of the third master. It must be exactly the same from the beginning to the end.

Now, the thickness can no longer trouble him.

But what stumped him next was strength, ovality, relaxation, plasticity, and corrosion resistance. These were the original words of the third master, and he hardly understood them.Anyway, we know that among thousands of steel wires with the same thickness, only five steel wires can fully achieve these five points.

I really don't know how the third master can quickly find qualified products from so many steel wires.

Just as he was thinking, his son Li Xiaohu ran over quite nervously.

"Father, number one is here."

Carpenter Li's mind was confused, could it be that the third master finally stopped him from pulling the steel wire?At the end of the day, he was still a little bit reluctant, thinking of the monthly money he had received in the past few months, he was a little bit reluctant.Of course, it is free to open a shop by yourself, but the income is not as stable as that of Master Jia San.

When No. [-] entered the door, he hugged him and congratulated him.

"Where does the joy come from?" Li Jianghu was at a loss.

No. [-] smiled and said, "Our third master wants to hire you as the master of Jia clan studies. From now on, you will not only be a respected gentleman, but also have a monthly salary."

Li Jianghu became more and more confused. What can he teach students as a craftsman?

Involuntarily, he spoke his mind.

No. [-] still laughed, "Of course you teach students how to work? Not only the students in Class B learn how to work with you for a few days every month, but our uncle and second master also come to listen to your lectures."

"Oh, I can't, I can't, how can I, a blacksmith who can't read a lot, be a gentleman?" Carpenter Li repeatedly refused. If he guessed correctly, the uncle and second master mentioned in the first mouth are the sons of Rong Guogong. How can I give lectures to such a noble person?

"What can't be done? The three masters of my family have praised you." No. [-] said, he was not lying, Jia Dairu really praised him.

Speaking of it, it is basically impossible to make a piano with the current level of craftsmanship, and the key is the strings.The strings of the piano are made of extremely high-purity carbon steel wire, and the cross-section of the strings must also be a perfect circle. If it is slightly oval, it will cause noise.

After understanding the current level of craftsmanship, he has given up making pianos and started studying pipe organs. After all, although pipe organs are huge in size and complex in structure, they appeared in 250 BC.As long as you draw the blueprint, you can definitely make it.

At this moment, Li Jianghu brought him a surprise.

He made a string that fully met the requirements. Therefore, with the mentality of saving technology, he simply gave Li Jianghu some subsidies every month to let him continue to make strings.

A very ingenious craftsman, almost at that time Jia Dairu had already decided that Li Daniu, a craftsman, would be the first engineering student in the vocational school.

"Third, the third master praised me?" Carpenter Li pointed at himself in disbelief. He only pulled out 6 steel wires in 5 months, an average of less than one per month. How could he be praised by the third master?

"Yes, so many craftsmen pulled out the steel wire that meets the requirements." No. 8000 did not hide it from him. There are more than 219 internal parts of the piano alone, and [-] strings of different thicknesses are required. Li Jianghu Naturally, only a very small part of the work was received.

Carpenter Li finally showed a smile on his sad face since the Chinese New Year.

"How much is the monthly salary?" Carpenter Li asked his son Li Xiaohu before he could react.

No. 3 glanced at Li Jianghu enviously, "[-] taels of silver a month, and a bonus at the end of the year."

Li Xiaohu opened his mouth wide, 3 taels a month, 36 taels a year, which means that his father can marry him a beautiful and virtuous wife after being a husband for a year.

He looked expectantly at his father Li Daniu.

Before Li Daniu recovered, he was knocked unconscious by the gold ingot that fell from the sky.

Three taels of silver a month is too much!

Although it is not easy to live in the capital, for ordinary people, 10 taels of silver a year can definitely support a large family. 36 taels of silver, his family can eat meat every day.

"I...I'll do it!" Li Jianghu, who had regained his senses, immediately agreed.

On the [-]st, he took out a contract and read the content. The terms and treatment were excellent, and the school promised to hire him as a teacher for life, but again, he had to cherish himself.

Carpenter Li hesitated. Craftsmen rely on technology to survive, but the third master asked him to hand over all the technology to the students.As the saying goes, the apprentice of the church will starve the master to death.

Li Xiaohu was in a hurry, he didn't like being a blacksmith like his father, and he didn't want to be a blacksmith for the rest of his life.

"Father, promise it! I'm not made to be a blacksmith." Li Xiaohu urged, "And you're not too young, it would be nice to be a gentleman. Although you still teach people how to forge iron, you don't have to work every day."

Li Xiaohu has a lively mind, even though his handicraft is not bad, but he can't bear to work hard all day long.

Glancing at his son, Li Jianghu was silent for a long time, then nodded, "I agree."

"Since you agree, let's invite a witness to come and sign it!" Number One said.

Li Xiaohu quickly ran out and called a respectable old man in the street without ordering him.

The day after signing the contract, Number One came again.

"Mr. wants to buy your blacksmith shop at a high price and use it as an internship workshop for the school. I wonder if you are willing? If not, sir will find another blacksmith shop to buy, but then I will take the students to work there."

After hearing No. [-]'s quotation, Li Xiaohu looked at the hesitant Li Jianghu again.

The money given was enough to buy three shops the size of his house, and it would be a fool not to sell them.

Besides Carpenter Li, several other craftsmen and a treasurer were hired as masters of ethnology.

All this was done during the student summer vacation, and in a blink of an eye, a new semester began.The students in Class A and B have been fixed, except for Jia She and others, Liu Jiejie successfully passed the promotion exam and stayed in Class A.As for Jia Wan and Jia Dun, who worked hard for a semester, although their parents took good care of them, they didn't like studying very much, so they failed to pass the promotion exam and stayed in Class B.

They will learn cultural lessons for a day, and then learn how to work with Mr. Craftsman. If they want to learn business, they have to give up their weekend breaks to learn some business from the shopkeeper.

Jia Dun and Jia Wan are quite satisfied with this arrangement. They only go to school to read a few words. Whether they study engineering or business, it is a craft, which is enough for them to support themselves when they grow up.

Li Yue, who was attached to the school, was caught in a difficult choice. On the one hand, he was in an elite class that was incompatible with him. He didn't take the exam for a scholar, and even if he got in, it would be a waste of time listening to the scriptures.The vocational technical class on the other side is much friendlier. Whether it is learning progress, engineering or business, it is in line with his qualifications and conditions.

But the money for his additional school was paid by the fourth prince, so he went to find the fourth prince.

"I didn't tell you. I've been upset recently. Don't bother me with trivial matters." His uncle Cheng Jin gave him a glare. Ever since the emperor asked the third prince to compile a dictionary and promote pinyin, his father's mood has not been good.

The emperor's actions were too dishonest, his father reported the pinyin, and the concubine Xian gave the third prince the job of showing her face and showing off her merits by blowing the wind beside her pillow.

What's more, he was still so angry that a minister wrote a letter questioning the emperor and said that his father was reckless, and sent him a word of refraining from haste and patience.Then he was transferred to the criminal department, facing a lot of cases every day, fourth master, who couldn't hold the sand in his eyes, was in a worse mood.

Li Yue didn't know much about the inside story, but he had been reminded by his uncle that he had been walking around the Four Princes' Mansion for the past few months.Wen Yan frowned and posed the question.

Cheng Jin frowned, "Forget it, I'll ask the Lord."

Li Yue finally stayed in Class B as he wished.

In the other room, Jia Zheng saw the stranded pipe organ blueprint and was immediately fascinated by it.He was shocked by the huge and complicated machine. He never thought that the machine could be so complicated.

"Third Uncle, what is this?"

"The organ, a musical instrument."

Jia Zheng's eyes widened. Such a thick stack of drawings is just a musical instrument?

"But it seems to be as big as a house." Jia Zheng also knew pictures, so it was hard to imagine that a musical instrument would be as big as a house.

No, it is taller than ordinary houses, as tall as a two-story building.

Jia Dairu chuckled, "You don't think that all musical instruments are as simple as thumb qin and bamboo flute!"

Jia Zheng nodded. He knew chime bells, but chime bells don't need to draw such detailed drawings.He even saw a few bellows drawn on the blueprint. Does playing a musical instrument need to pull the bellows like cooking?

"Yes, the pipe organ is attached to the building. Look at these keyboards. When you press the keyboard, the key mechanism inside them can open the valve plate that controls the sound pipe..."

Jia Zheng carefully figured out the drawings, and it was hard to imagine.

"Why does the sound pipe make sound?" he asked.

"Relying on the compressed air stored in the bellows, one organist can play more than a dozen instruments, just like a dozen musicians in an opera troupe playing at the same time." Jia Dairu blinked. I gave up making the pipe organ after I made the steel wire. Compared with the piano, the pipe organ is too bulky and too expensive.

Think about it, a pipe organ starts to play, and the whole town can hear it.

In fact, there was no need to do it, Jia Dairu happily gave up.

"Although I don't plan to do it, you can take these blueprints back and study them to change your mind." Jia Dairu asked No. [-] to take the blueprints to Jia Zheng's east wing.

The high-pressure water gun has not made any progress, and Jia Zheng has fallen into a state of abject poverty due to frequent experiments. It is good to spend his spare time studying blueprints.

The younger brother hid in the house after school for several days in a row, and Jia Amnesty took his little friend Liu Jiejie to stop Jia Zheng who was hurrying home.

"Have you made a new invention recently?" Jia Amnesty asked directly, his younger brother's state was too much like what he was doing in retreat, maybe it was fun.

Only then did Jia Zheng raise his head, "Study a musical instrument."

"Is it a piano? Why don't you like music and study that?"

Jia Amnesty tried to dispel the enthusiasm of the second brother. The third uncle had long ago said that he would make a piano so that he could exercise his brain, but he could relax and relax without a finished product.

Contrary to Jia She, Liu Jiejie showed a longing look. He also heard about the piano from Jia She. It is said that it has a very wide range and 88 keys. Compared with the thumb piano with 28 keys, he is undoubtedly more fascinated.

Jia Zheng pursed his lips, "It's not a piano, it's a pipe organ. There are several rows of keys and hundreds of keys. Third Uncle said that he can press more than a dozen notes with one hand, and one person can play the effect of a troupe. Well, feet There are dozens of keys to step on. The real king of instruments!"

Jia She lamented, "Don't do it."

A thumb harp is enough for him to keep busy, and a pipe organ will kill him.

Liu Jujie's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Jia Zheng, "Brother Zheng, you must do it!"

Jia Zheng bowed his head, "I can't do it, it's too complicated, and the blueprint alone is as tall as me."

The smile on the corner of Jia She's mouth hadn't stopped in the future, and he only heard Liu Juejie say, "So, Brother Zheng, as long as you can make a pipe organ, how about betrotting her to you when I give birth to a daughter in the future?"

For the organ, Liu Juejie also worked hard.

Jia Zheng stared at Liu Jujie's overly handsome face for a while, then raised two fingers, "Can you have two daughters?"

Liu Jiejie: ​​...

After a long time, Jia Amnesty burst into laughter and pointed at Jia Zheng, "Can you afford two daughters-in-law?"

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion knew how poor his younger brother was, no matter how much money he had, he would lose it in the blink of an eye, and he needed two daughters-in-law.

Jia Zheng turned to look at Jia Amnesty in surprise, "Could it be that I won't live at home after I get married? They naturally have their monthly allowances, why should I raise them?"

He is poor, okay, and he is bound to enter the Ministry of Industry. I heard that the officials of the Ministry of Industry are not very rich.

Jia Amnesty's eyes widened, and he asked back, "After a hundred years from your parents, you still have to raise your own daughter-in-law?"

Jia Zheng said strangely, "Isn't there still you? You are the head of the family, so of course you want to support us."

Jia Amnesty was completely dumbfounded. Who told Jia Zheng that his eldest brother would not only support his younger brother for the rest of his life, but also pay his sister-in-law a monthly allowance?

Stand up and see if he doesn't kill him.

Liu Juejie kept silent knowingly.

After a while, Jia She recovered his voice, "Do you think Wang Zisheng will raise Wang Ziteng?"

Jia Zheng's face wrinkled, as if what his brother said was right, and the nurse had said that the elder brother was a prodigal, and it seemed that the elder brother could not be expected to support him.

But even if he had money, he spent it on experiments, so he didn't have enough money to raise a wife.

After thinking for a long time, he said cruelly, "Brother Liu, your daughter is sure to be beautiful, and she should be betrothed to another family. I don't plan to get married."

Like his third uncle, it would be nice to be raised by the elder brother without getting married.

Yes, Jia Zheng felt that Jia Amnesty would support him, referring to the example of Jia Dairu who is still being raised by Jia Daishan.

Jia Amnesty was dumbfounded again, "I didn't mean that!"

His younger brother was originally a stubborn one. If he really didn't get married because of this and couldn't adopt his son, that would be impossible. No one could snatch his son.

Thinking that one of his future sons might fall into such a prodigal father, Jia She took a deep breath, turned to Liu Juejie and said, "Xiao Liuer, don't worry about marrying your daughter to Zhenger, I will give her a lifetime monthly payment."

But ten taels of silver a month, he can afford it.

Liu Juejie: ​​Instead, he is worried. Sure enough, he still wants to have a son, only a son.

Liu Juejie wiped his sweat, and let out a hehe sound of unknown meaning.

Jia Zhengchun saw that his elder brother was willing to give his future daughter-in-law a monthly allowance, so after thinking about it, he decided to get married.The daughter-in-law has a monthly case, and he will naturally have a salary from the Ministry of Industry in the future, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

One thing happened, and Jia Zheng suddenly remembered that his third uncle didn't seem to be planning to be an organist, so he felt guilty and wanted to tell the truth.He looked back at Liu Yanjie's handsome face.

He swallowed all his guilt back.

It is more important to have a beautiful daughter-in-law, of course, it is even better to have two.When he was doing the experiment, they were playing by themselves, and Jia Zheng's thinking was extremely simple.

At this time, Jia Zheng did not expect that soon, an opportunity to make a pipe organ would come.

The haunted house frightened people to death. It wasn't ordinary people who died, but Luo Yougong, the grandson of Princess Changping.Although Qi Liuzi has the certificate of life and death signed by the other party, Princess Changping sued Qi Liuzi for raising ghosts and gathering wealth, which is really a curse of witchcraft.

Concubine Qi couldn't sit still when witchcraft was involved.

If any witchcraft involved, even the queen and prince would be killed. Immediately, she didn't care to ask Qi Liuzi for benefits, and cried to the emperor.

The fourth prince who squatted in the Ministry of Criminal Justice finally encountered a big case. He was still in the second year of middle school, ready to imitate Baogong's trial of Yang by day and trial of Yin by night. Unexpectedly, before he was interrogated, Qi Liuzi handed over a strange man The 'qin' comes.

If he could, he really didn't want to call it a piano.

"So Luo Yougong was frightened to death by the sound it made?" The fourth prince thought it was inconceivable.

Qi Liuzi raised his head slightly, "It also needs to match the lights and furniture in the haunted house."

He lamented in his heart, he was already careful enough, not only did not allow women to enter the haunted house, but he also did not allow anyone who was old, weak, or young to enter, even signing life and death certificates.Who would have thought that Luo Yougong, who was so big and so thick, would be frightened to death within a quarter of an hour after entering.

He was wronged.

"Where did you get such an evil thing?"

The fourth prince put down the water piano and wiped his hands with a clean veil, this thing felt sinister and terrifying just by looking at it.

Qi Liuzi confessed honestly.

Jia Dairu didn't shy away from selling pianos, so he was found out in half a day, and even craftsman Li, who made the water piano, was found out.

The Fourth Prince was silent.

The upright Mr. Jia had a bit of a bad personality, and made a strange piano with horrible pronunciation and sold it for 1000 taels of silver.

He felt he needed to slow down.

Bring Shuiqin and Qi Liuzi back to Emperor Xihe.

Needless to say, everyone's eyes widened after playing the water piano.

"Such a terrifying sound came from a strange bowl?" They didn't believe it.

"My lords, if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself." The fourth prince generously handed over the water piano.

All the officials retreated one after another, and a few boldly picked up the bowstring. Their strikes were not serious, and the sound they made was more terrifying than Qi Liuzi's.

Xihedi couldn't help but want to cover his ears.

"My minister suggested that this piano should be banned." Some people suggested that there are many foolish people in Daqing, and if the water piano is obtained by unscrupulous people, the consequences of pretending to be ghosts and defrauding people of money are unimaginable.

"Sure!" Xihedi also thought of this.

"I implore you to go back to the source so that there will be no second water piano."

The fourth prince couldn't help looking at Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan, who was also on the list of seconders.

The roots are in Rongguo Mansion, I don't know how he will react.

"Check!" Xihedi said again.

When the dynasty was over, the Fourth Prince asked to see Emperor Xihe directly.He admired Jia Dairu to some extent, and besides, he gave a match prescription in front of him, and later he was credited with inventing pinyin, so he didn't say it above the court.In fact, if Princess Changping hadn't kept a close eye on him, he should have quietly told his father first.

"It turned out to be him." Xihedi was stunned after hearing this, "After all, he is Daishan's younger brother, let's stop here!"

Of course, Jia Daishan also received a warning from Emperor Xihe that his family must never make another water piano.

Jia Daishan, who was completely unaware, looked aggrieved.

Why is it so difficult for him!

As for the water piano of the haunted house, it was stored in the warehouse and put together with the police.

Concubine Qi was around, and Qi's six sons were released, but the haunted house was sealed, and a few days later, it was ordered to be demolished.Qi Liuzi lost his livelihood.

Jia Dairu felt that the time had come for him to pluck the wool.

"It's you!" Qi Liuzi said weakly.

"I have a business that you must be interested in." Jia Dairu cut to the chase.

But Qi Liuzi still couldn't cheer up.

"Although it's still a musical instrument, this time you can build a concert hall, a place where you can simply enjoy music." Jia Dairu tried his best to persuade Qi Liuzi, "We have a joint venture."

Qi Liuzi's ears twitched, and so did his heart.

Jia Dairu took out the renderings, "Look, this is what the concert hall looks like after it's completed. Listening to music inside is definitely a pleasure."

Qi Liuzi noticed the seats and stage inside.

In fact, it is not bad to open a theater. As for the joint venture, it would be great if someone from the Rongguo Mansion came forward.He is now in Qi's house where everyone shouts and beats the rats crossing the street, and he needs people from Rongguo Mansion to share the pressure.

"it is good."

The haunted house was demolished in no time, Qi Liuzi sold the land, plus 2000 taels of silver to take up 1000% of the shares.Jia Dairu took out [-] taels for selling water instruments and the drawings of pipe organs to occupy the remaining [-]% of the shares.

Qi Liuzi stared at the 1000 taels of silver, speechless for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Jia Dairu tilted his head and looked at Qi Liuzi in a petrified state in puzzlement.

"No, it's nothing." Qi Liuzi twitched the corners of his mouth and found that he couldn't laugh.

The first concert hall in Daqing broke ground.

The students of Class B of Jia Clan Studies also participated in the project, but their level was limited. Even if they learned how to read pictures from Jia Zheng, they would just hand over what they had in their stomachs to the masters.

The fourth prince got the information from Li Yue, and remained silent for a long time. Mr. Jia seemed to be different from what he thought.

Jia Zheng and Liu Jiejie were almost going crazy with joy, while Jia She was full of complaints, thinking that Qi Liuzi was a bit unlucky.

He has already inquired about it. The piano technology is very demanding, and it will take at least a few years to make it. When he is married, he will naturally not stay in the ethnology.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I really wanted to build a pipe organ, and there were more keyboards than pianos.

He looked at the construction period, and it can be completed in half a year. Doesn't that mean that he still has to learn the organ?

Thinking of playing the organ not only with all ten fingers busy, but also with feet stepping on the keys, Jia She felt that his image could not be maintained.Not only my hands are sore, but my feet are also starting to be sore.

Then, he discovered that in the music class of Class A, he began to learn something called staves.

Jia She, who doesn't like music very much, is in great pain. His little friend Liu Jiejie is just the opposite, with bright eyes.

It is too wise to come to Jia Clan School to study.

Fortunately, his third uncle did not impose mandatory requirements on the degree of their mastery of the staff, and even adopted differential education for the few of them in reading the staff.

Liu Jiejie is very talented in music and is far ahead. It is said that he can read sonata scores now.Of course, he actually didn't know what a sonata was, but he didn't realize it just by looking at it.

His little partner doesn't seem to be simple either.

Jia Amnesty thought about it, and simply gave up the image of almighty.

He's just bad at music, can't beat the beat, and can't remember the score.

Time flies, Jia Dairu's provincial examination results came down, the ranking is neither high nor low, but he passed.Meanwhile, the concert hall was completed.

Qi Liuzi has been busy on the construction site, and understands that the selling point of the concert hall is not a stage.But he still doesn't quite understand what is so attractive about the concert hall.

By those five rows of ivory keyboards?

He felt that someone should be guarded even at night, so that no one would come and pry the ivory on the keyboard.

"Listen carefully." Jia Dairu glanced at Qi Liuzi, took out the key, and opened the door, revealing several rows of keyboards.Number One and Number Zero rushed to pull the bellows. Jia Dairu took a deep breath and put his hands on the keyboard.

Buzzing buzzing, a scalp-numbing rhythm sounded, and Jia Dairu chose the wild bee flying in a wicked way.

The characteristic of the pipe organ is that it can play the timbre of different instruments by plugging and unplugging the stoppers. If the player is of high level, one person can play the effect of a symphony orchestra.

Coincidentally, Jia Dairu has no musical talent, but his level is superb.

Qi Liuzi's scalp was numb, he felt a swarm of ferocious hornets surrounded his head, and he still couldn't calm down after the song was over.How many times have men these days never poked a hornet's nest or a honeycomb?This song reminded him of being chased by wasps.

He suspected that people would come to listen once and never come again.

Seeing Qi Liuzi's doubts, Jia Dairu smiled and started the next song - the Spring Festival Overture, which is absolutely festive. After listening to it, he wants to make people go home and have a family reunion.

Qi Liuzi was also unavoidable, shaking his head when he heard it.

I couldn't help but say along with the tune, "Light up the lanterns and festoons to welcome the New Year, celebrate the New Year happily, and celebrate the New Year with joy. Oh, this is good, I want to set off firecrackers after listening to this tune."

A Spring Festival overture only lasts four to five minutes, and Jia Dairu looked at Qi Liuzi quite proudly.

"how?"

"Okay, very good."

At this time, there was a noisy sound outside, and after a while, the strong man from the original gambling house ran in, "Master Liu, the sound of the piano is very loud, many people are rushing here, are they here to find fault?"
