Chapter 238: Edison, the profiteer

The countryside is a paradise for jelly.

She ran up and down the house excitedly, looking at it, touching it, everything in the room was so strange.

The elder brother sat on the kang and was interrogated and ridiculed by a group of relatives, so she studied the furnishings of the whole room.

The stove, the old furniture, the pendulum clock hanging on the wall, and the foot-operated 70s sewing machine were all too new for jelly.

Especially the "faucet" in the kitchen, the water can only come out after a few squeaks and presses, which is amazing!

The second uncle teased her: "Xiaoshu, isn't this funny!"

"It's fun!"

Jelly stretched up his little arms, slightly crossed his feet, and his two little hands grabbed the pressure handle and pulled it up hard, and when he saw the water splashing into the water tank, Jelly let out a series of happy laughter.

There were a lot of people around, half of them were good believers to see the top cultural idols of the college entrance examination, and half of them came to see the cute little jelly, and they were completely buddled by this cute baby at this time.

"Look at this little girl, it's so beautiful and cute!"

"How did you give birth to it, it's amazing!"

"Juanzi and Uncle have been busy with this for the rest of their lives!"

"This girl doesn't recognize life at all, she's so lively. ”

……

Little Jelly has had a star halo since she was born, and she is loved by thousands of people everywhere, and no one wants to give her this opportunity.

Just when the second uncle was not paying attention, Little Jelly turned around and pushed the door and ran into the yard, and then ran around, staring at the iron gate of the pigsty and the sow inside, and then going to the chicken rack to see the magical creature with the cockscomb.

She's never seen any of this, there's no one in the zoo, she's seen it in the pictures, and this time she's finally seeing it alive.

"Big-nosed pig!"

"Eh, pig. ”

"You can eat meat!"

"Eh, you can eat meat, when you leave, let your dad take it away!"

……

"Chicken, uncle, chicken!"

"This one, it's a ringing, it can be used as an alarm clock, and you can use it as an alarm clock at home!"

"Use it for my brother, he will lie in bed!"

……

The second uncle didn't pay attention, Jelly suddenly turned around and ran towards a group of geese not far away with his arms open, and then chased the geese all over the yard with "oh oh oh".

The second uncle was frightened at the time, ran over in a few big steps, picked up the jelly, and said while wiping his sweat: "This thing bites, we can't afford to mess with them, let's stew it at night!"

The uncle rushed out and said with a smile: "The big goose is indeed very fierce, today it is estimated that it is in response to the old saying, the ruthless is afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal is afraid of being stunned, the stunned is afraid of dying, the little sister is too desperate, the second child, look at it, don't let the chickens, ducks and geese bite the child." ”

The second uncle nodded, picked up the jelly and said, "Uncle will take you to the warehouse to have a look, there is a baby!"

Opening the door of the warehouse, the second uncle walked in with the jelly, and Li Fan slipped in after him, on the one hand to see if there were any old things, and on the other hand to avoid the gossip of relatives.

Li Fan looked at the old things in the warehouse, and a wave of childhood memories came to his face.

"Xiao Fan, do you know what this is? Xiao Shu must not know. The second uncle pointed to a "container" with a "steep" inner wall like a basin, and there were "ears" on each side of the "container".

"Brazier!"

"Yo, you know!"

Li Fan said: "In the past, when I was poor, every family had an earthen brazier, and in winter, it was filled with bud rice sticks, which could be heated after being lit, and you could also bake things to eat, and roast beans and potatoes. I haven't seen anyone use this thing since I was about 5 years old, it's too revealing of age. But it's been passed down for 2,000 years!"

Jelly moved the heavy "basin" vigorously, but she didn't move, she looked at her brother, and said, "Brother, take it home and bake something." ”

Li Fan smiled: "Move away when you go!"

Uncle took out a big cloth bag again, shook off the dust, opened the rope on it, and showed the contents to Li Fan, "Do you recognize this, this is still your uncle and I played with when I was a child." ”

Li Fan almost didn't shed tears when he saw this, it was too familiar and kind, and it was full of snapping and slipping.

Piaji, a children's toy with various patterns printed on circular cardboard, is an "ancient game" that emerged around the 80s.

Some people will carry out "artistic processing" and "private transformation" of the crackling, apply wax oil to it to make a "wax plate", apply the oil on it, and bake it with a candle to make an "oil plate", and some people collect beer bottle caps and smash the bottle caps flat to become a round "iron plate"!

Needless to say, it's a glass ball, and it can't be transformed, and the pleasure of a fan is completely different, if you can smash the target if you can smash the target, that kind of pleasure, cool!

The uncle sighed, "Now there are no children to play with here, and now the children are all mobile phones, computers, and tablets, and they don't play with these old-fashioned things anymore." ”

Rummaging in the warehouse again, wax tables, oil lamps, wall calendars, villain books, newspapers of the year, black-and-white televisions, etc., these "antiques" were printed into Li Fan's eyes one by one!

Especially the black-and-white TV,The knob on it has already been screwed bald,And the antenna stretched out is still very bent,Needless to say,I can't figure out who thought the TV was not clear when I was a child.,Hang meat or wet towels on it。

After Li Fan unfolded the wall calendar, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised, did he ignore Yating's mother?

This Gu Yating didn't have any family, and Gu's mother didn't think about collecting the photos and wall calendars she took, but now it has become a big regret.

The beauty of the calendar is really not called in vain, on the whole calendar, every photo is charming, graceful, it is estimated that she was sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, more than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now my daughter can take a calendar.

In this wall calendar, all of them are swimsuit photos, which are very sexy and avant-garde, which is definitely the spiritual food for many male compatriots to chat about in that closed and backward era.

"Second uncle, I'll take this directly. ”

"Take it away, filial piety to your mother-in-law. ”

Li Fan suddenly blushed.

The second uncle thought for a while, "I'll go to Lao Chen's house to get you a few more copies, there must be a lot of old goods in his house, this bastard has been facing the wall calendar since he was a child...... Uh, that, I'll go to his house in the afternoon!"

"Uncle, I want to see Malaysia!" Jelly said cheerfully.

"Big horses, no, whoever raises horses in the countryside now, if you want to raise them, you also raise BMWs!"

Li Fan was shocked, "We still have a BMW in Tunzi?"

"We are poor and can't afford to support it, the village next door is rich, basically every family has a car, and there are really two or three families who drive BMW Mercedes-Benz. Xiaoshu, my uncle will show you something good, let's go. ”

My uncle came to the window with the jelly in his arms and said, "This is called a mimosa, if you touch its leaves, it will shyly close the leaves." ”

Jelly curiously stretched out her finger and touched it, but the mimosa didn't react at all, so she stared at her uncle with big black eyes.

Uncle frowned, "Huh, you try another one, this mimosa may be thick-skinned!"

Li Fan was speechless when he heard this.

The next morning, the grandmother's house came to the guest, and the village secretary and the village chief and others came in person.

The secretary was dressed more decently, with a linen suit, shiny leather shoes, and a tie, perhaps out of "meeting" the top student in the college entrance examination, and felt that it was necessary to be grand.

The village chief is not far behind, leather shoes, trousers, white shirt, the only difference from the secretary is that he does not wear a suit or tie.

They came to the door this time to invite Li Fan to give a speech at the village middle school, and Li Fan naturally shirked it, but he still couldn't stand their soft grinding, so he had to get in their car and go to the village middle school.

There are very few junior high schools in the village now, and the children generally go to the town or county to study, and the village junior high school will soon withdraw from the stage of history. I heard the village chief say that there are 4 classes in the first year of junior high school, 3 classes in the second year of junior high school, and 1 class of 100 students in the third year of junior high school.

In the past, children from many nearby villages would attend this junior high school, and there were thirteen or fourteen classes in the first grade group at that time, but now the number of students has been reduced by about seven-tenths.

As the car drove on the road, Li Fan dealt with the secretary and the village chief, and these two men introduced Li Fan to the rural life in Gissen Province.

"The village in front of me is much better than ours, every household has an indoor toilet, shower, running water, anyway, when the curtains are drawn, there is no difference from the city. ”

Li Fan said with a smile: "That's a good dare, now the countryside is rich, and the expenses are still less, and they earn more than the people in the city in a year, and they still rest in winter." ”

The secretary sighed: "Good days are coming, but gambling is popular, and all kinds of black colors are very serious. Moreover, there are no people left in the countryside, children of your age are basically rare now, either studying outside or going to work in the city, and there is no vitality in the village, and now they are a bunch of middle-aged and elderly people who have nothing to do. ”

While everyone was chatting, the car drove into a middle school, and their destination arrived.

As soon as he got out of the car, a twenty-year-old young man ran over quickly, lowered his body and stretched out his hand to Li Fan, and said, "Xiaofan, long time no see." ”

The village chief said: "Do you remember him? When you were a child, you often used martial arts to meet friends. ”

Li Fan smiled: "Remember, Zhang Liang!"

"But this kid is not angry, he got married at the age of 16, and the children are 4 years old, and he plays with the children at home every day!

Zhang Liang grinned: "Go to the playground Li Fan, everyone has already lined up and stood up." ”

This is the most humble playground Li Fan has ever seen, there is no plastic track, no standard basketball hoop, no football goal with nets, the whole playground is covered with a layer of coarse sand, and there are about 500 teachers and students standing there.

Li Fan was led onto the rostrum, and sat down with the leaders.

Not long after, a female teacher in her early 20s who was dressed reasonably stepped onto the rostrum and said happily: "Dear village leaders, school leaders, teachers and students, hello everyone, today we invited Li Fan, the top student in the college entrance examination, to make an impromptu speech for everyone, everyone applauds and welcomes!"

Wow!

The applause was like a tide, and it was very warm!

"Then first of all, I would like to invite Mr. Zhang Xianglong, the village secretary of Hongmin Village, to deliver an important speech!"

More than 500 teachers and students on the playground reluctantly and symbolically slapped their hands.

……

"Then next, I invite the village chief Ge Liang to speak!"

The teachers and students are sad one by one, a normal speech, what are you doing to make a fuss, I don't know if I like to listen to you, right?

……

"I would like to invite the principal to speak!"

……

"I would like to invite the director to speak!"

……

After the director finished speaking, the teachers and students thought to themselves, it was finally Li Fan's turn, but when the cucumbers and vegetables were cold, after all, the official position and status were all down from top to bottom, and Li Fan didn't run away now, right?

As a result, to great surprise, the host continued: "Next, the county magistrate of this county will come to the stage to deliver an important speech! Everyone applauds and warmly welcomes!"

All the teachers and students fainted, why did they add people again?

The county magistrate and the mayor of the town had just arrived after hearing the news, and as soon as they heard that the top student of the college entrance examination, a famous cultural idol of Huaguo, had come to the county and town, they immediately drove over.

And they were still very dissatisfied, and they were angry, just now, they directly scolded the village party secretary and village head, and asked them why they didn't notify the town and county in time of such an important matter?

The village party secretary had no choice but to explain the reason, saying that Li Fan did not greet him in advance when he came to the village, it was quite sudden, and he only stayed for a few days.

It was in this tense atmosphere that the county leaders ascended to the rostrum and delivered "important" speeches.

After serving the leaders, the host finally smiled, his voice was full, and he announced with high spirits: "Next, please Li Fan came to the stage to make today's speech, everyone applauds!"

In a warm applause, Li Fan stepped forward and walked to the microphone, "Hello students, I can't talk about a speech today, I am standing here just to talk to you about the unknown side of history and literature. I also don't like to give speeches, talk about big truths, or instill any philosophy of life and the way of life, which are of little substance. ”

There was a round of applause from the audience, everyone was tired of watching all kinds of sensational and inspirational speeches on the Internet, and finally someone changed their tastes.

The applause stopped, and Li Fan said again: "Get straight to the point, don't talk nonsense." It is said that there was a eunuch in the Eastern Han Dynasty who came to the throne by slandering other concubines for the queen, and after the queen's death, he immediately became another queen and served carefully. He went through four emperors and two queens in his life, ranked in the ninth king, and finally such a political speculator who started with slander and slander, but he has a wide reputation in the world, who do you guess he is?"

After seeing that the students and teachers shook their heads for a while, Li Fan said: "This is Cai Lun, Cai Lun, who invented papermaking! Let's first talk about this papermaking technology and Cai Lun today." ”

After talking about papermaking and Cai Lun, next, Li Fan said again: "During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the "Siku Quanshu" was repaired, with a total of 3,457 books and 79,070 volumes. 6,766 copies, 93,556 volumes were banned. In the history textbooks of Huaguo junior high and high schools, the 'literary prison' was covered up with only a few strokes, and even the value tendency of the "Siku Quanshu" was not right!"

"At present, the Song Dynasty, which has been criticized by 'mainstream' experts for its weak militarily, has a victory rate of more than 70% in foreign wars with a scale of more than 10,000 people, while the Tang Dynasty, which is generally regarded as militarily strong, has won fewer and lost more in foreign wars. ”

……

"I want to say that these just want to explain a truth, we contemporary students, don't just stare at history textbooks, thin history textbooks can't accommodate 5,000 years of China, and what is left can only be advantages. Read a lot and you will find that whether it is history or literature, the world is not black and white. ”

The leader on the stage originally listened to it with taste, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and said in his heart, you should talk about learning, study hard every day, what method can you use to get close to your height, this is the main theme, is the positive energy, but you are talking about the other side of history, and "instigating" students to question the textbook, this, too negative energy!

After the leader's signal, the host interjected through Li Fan's words: "Li Fan, can you tell the students how to study scientifically to greatly improve their academic performance?"

Li Fan said: "If you summarize more and work harder, you will be improved to a certain extent." Okay, let me tell you about another person, Edison, who is known as the king of inventions!"

The learning method was summarized in one sentence, and everyone was also broken.

The host wanted to stagger Li Fan's topic, but he didn't expect Li Fan to drive to the next intersection again.

"Most of us have the impression that Edison is the world's king of inventions, and he created 2,000 inventions in his lifetime, including the phonograph, electric light, telephone, telegraph, and movie. He is a scientific genius who has only been in elementary school for three months.

This is also the case in our Chinese textbooks, but this is not the case.

In fact, Edison was a successful businessman at heart, not a real scientist or inventor. Among his more than 2,000 inventions, the vast majority of them are not his masterpieces, but the collective wisdom of many scientists in his team, and some are even the inventions of others.

The title of "King of Invention" is a gimmick he carefully planned.

Moreover, he has a very poor character and is good at playing with intrigues, he is a famous duck monopoly in the electrical industry, and anyone who competes with him will die a miserable death, and some of his methods are very obscene.

There are countless examples of squeezing the genius scientist Nikola Tesla, secretly pirating "Voyage to the Moon", the earliest science fiction film in human history, and using bribery and other means to defeat Maxim.

Edison and his GE company were able to run rampant in the American electrical industry for decades, the secret is not only to steal other people's creativity and marketing methods with no lower limit, but more importantly, he has a close relationship with Carnegie, Morgan and other big capitalists, and has quite complex and lasting capital ties.

So, Edison was a businessman through and through! Our textbook is completely wrong, very wrong!

This is very easy to understand, there are more than 2,000 inventions in his life, let's assume that Edison was born and engaged in research while pumping milk, until he died in his 80s, then Edison had to come up with an invention in half a month on average, and he also had to manage a huge company, and God's ability is nothing more than that, right?

Such a simple truth, such an unreliable thing has been widely circulated, many people still believe it to be true, and even written into the textbook like a praise, I think, we young students, in the process of reading, must learn to question bravely!

……”

After the whole speech, the students, teachers and students were stunned for a moment, and basically no one deserted, because the whole speech was very different from their own cognition.

If you use one word to describe Li Fan's speech for more than an hour, it is one word: false.

False, many things and perceptions in everyone's eyes are false, whether it is authoritative such as textbooks or wild historical rumors, we ourselves live in a society full of illusions.

Within an hour and a half, listening to the more than 20 examples told by Li Fan, everyone couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, no one should pretend to understand in the future, they are all confused!

Amid strong applause, Li Fan ended his speech. For the students, although they did not hear about Li Fan's unique learning method, they listened to a history that was very different from their own cognition, which was also a harvest, which fully ignited everyone's interest in real history and questioned the teaching materials.

As far as the leaders are concerned, the county leaders scratched their heads, this style of speech is completely different from the style of other outstanding students, can it be led to the podium of the county experimental middle school?

Besides, it's useless for students to just question textbooks, not to mention that they don't get grades, and it's easy to lose points.

The county leaders were a little entangled, but they still planned to invite Li Fan to give a speech in the county seat, the content, this will have to be carefully studied with Li Fan later.

However, when the county leader warmly held Li Fan's hands and just said that he wanted to invite Li Fan to make a speech, Li Fan immediately politely refused.

How could Li Fan have the time to give speeches everywhere? No matter how many schools across the country invited him, he didn't go there, and he couldn't invite him at all because he was busy, and second, he was really not interested.

Today this is really no trick, and I don't want everyone to lose face at my grandmother's house.

Li Fan, it's really not like you can invite it if you want to.

(Sorry, comrades, the update has been a slap in the face these days, and it will be updated at 23:50 in the evening these two days, and it will be changed to morning when you think it can stabilize.)

Blush!)
