0409 Fruitless promises
However, Liu Pei didn't mind, so he asked the shopkeeper about the specific situation. The shopkeeper's face is red! Later, it turned out that steel could already be produced here, but due to unskilled manpower, the quality was very unstable! All the steel produced can only be used as farm tools!
Liu Pei could only sigh! However, Liu Pei still comforted the shopkeeper to be patient and not to urge the craftsman. After all, steelmaking is a high-risk business, and a little carelessness is the end of the furnace and the death of people! As long as the step by step is good, you can always make good steel! The shopkeeper wiped his sweat again and again and agreed.
But there's not much to see inside the steel mill. Ore is being calcined in the blast furnace and nothing can be seen. So Liu Pei turned around and left with Bao Dezhi.
Later, the two went to see a kiln factory under construction. Cement is about to be produced. This made Liu Pei happy for a while. With cement, he has another weapon for repairing docks, dams, and houses.
However, Liu Peike knows that one of the major drawbacks of cement kilns is pneumoconiosis. It is the cement dust that is sucked into the lungs, which eventually leads to problems in the human body. So he repeatedly told the shopkeeper and the craftsman that they must wrap their mouth and nose in a muslin cloth before they can work, and also explained the cause of pneumoconiosis. The shopkeepers and craftsmen were very moved, and repeatedly vowed to serve the owner.
The two of them went around in a big circle and returned to the Academy of Sciences. By the time we arrived at the Academy of Sciences, it was already evening. Everyone from the Academy of Sciences greeted Liu Pei in the conference room. Liu Pei chatted with everyone for a while, asked them about their living conditions, and promised to solve a few small problems. And that was the end of it. However, Liu Pei heard that several people's wives have become pregnant, and congratulations! I promised a lot of gifts, and said that I would send them back. At the same time, Liu Pei also encouraged others to give birth to a noble son as soon as possible, which made everyone embarrassed.
After the kind words were finished, at this time, Bao Dezhi raised a very serious issue on behalf of everyone, that is, the issue of accepting apprentices. You must know that in this era, accepting disciples is not the same as accepting disciples in modern times. The modern teacher has degenerated into a profession. And the teachers of the Ming Dynasty were not just a profession.
As a teacher in the Ming Dynasty, he was not only responsible for teaching students, but also teaching them spiritually and planning their future. You also have to entrust your connections to your students. It can be said that it is an all-round teaching. It's basically the same as the son's kind. This is a relationship of both prosperity and loss. Therefore, people in this era are very cautious about accepting apprentices. That's why there are three thousand good disciples, and the truth is only two or three people. Confucius emphasized that there is no class in his life, and there are more than 3,000 disciples under his disciples, and there are only 72 disciples in the room!
Liu Pei said: "It's a good thing to accept apprentices! I
I wish you had as many apprentices as possible! ”
Bao Dezhi said worriedly: "But Dashuai, have you ever considered one thing, now many people's wives are pregnant." It is expected that more children will appear in the future. This will inevitably form a force, have you considered this? ”
Liu Pei suddenly realized when he heard it! It turned out that he was worried about his offspring. Accepting apprentices, on the one hand, is to pass on their knowledge. On the other hand, it is for the sake of having someone to take care of their children in the future. At the same time, they also want to earn a guarantee for their children.
Bao Dezhi has a point. These people from the Academy of Sciences are from the modern era and are born to be in a team. Moreover, their apprentices and children will enter the military and political circles one after another in the future, and they are destined to become a force. Moreover, this force will also have a lot of financial resources and some power.
You know, these people are all from modern times. The details of future developments will not be known. But the general direction is absolutely clear. Maybe some of these people will leave cheats for their children and guide their children to become emperors or something!
In the future, when these children grow up, they will be able to grasp a great deal of wealth by relying on the knowledge left by their fathers. And with Liu Pei's protection. will also have huge connections in politics and business. Once a group is formed, if it annoys Liu Pei and his descendants one day, maybe it will be a spoonful of stew!
Liu Pei said: "You are thinking too far! But I have a suggestion. ”
Speaking of this, Liu Pei listened deliberately, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen to Liu Pei. After all, this is related to the future of their descendants, how can they not care?
When Liu Pei saw their appearance, he was secretly proud. If you are a person, you can't escape the word fame and fortune. So we have to work on that. So Liu Pei pondered for a moment and said, "I don't dare to say anything else." As long as I live, they'll be fine. I'm dead, and my son I'm going to tell them he, and there's no problem. In addition, in the future, your children and disciples will inherit your mantle, so they will develop in a professional direction and specialize in research. Hundreds of years of modern science are enough for them to delve into! They can get honors, titles, and money for it. If it really doesn't work, it's just that all of you here do more work and effort. In the future, I will carve a large territory in Southeast Asia and make it an autonomous region for your children and grandchildren. When the time comes, let them toss in it! As long as they don't rebel, I guarantee they won't do anything! ”
After listening to Liu Pei's words, there was chaos in the conference room at the moment. Everyone discussed the advantages and disadvantages of these two options. Liu Pei knocked on the table, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said, "You can try both methods!" Some children like to carry the title for a lifetime, and some people are willing to toss, so let's toss. And
It's still a long time, so you can think about it slowly. ”
And Bao Dezhi also followed the times: "That's it, what are you anxious about, the time is very early." Let's talk about whether to accept apprentices or not. ”
Everyone listened and then fell silent. However, since Liu Pei said that he was not worried about this problem, everyone let go and said that he would accept as many apprentices as possible. In the end, Liu Pei discussed with everyone and said: "I think everyone can follow the example of Confucius when accepting apprentices. There were more than 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and only 72 disciples entered the room. Everyone can't reach the realm of Confucius, at least seven apprentices should be guaranteed, right? These seven disciples are your true disciples. In addition, we should pay close attention to the education work, and the more ordinary disciples there are, the better. ”
When everyone heard Liu Pei say this, they all agreed to come down and teach more ordinary disciples and teach their own disciples seriously. Then everyone reported the progress of teaching to Liu Pei, and the situation dispersed.
When they got out of the door of the Academy of Sciences, the guards surrounded Liu Pei and walked back. Liu Pei's face sank. Liu Pei promised a lot of things to the people in the Academy of Sciences just now, especially the affairs of the autonomous region, which is the root of Liu Pei's anger.
Liu Pei knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to carve out an autonomous region for them! As the old Chinese saying goes, you can't let others sleep soundly next to the couch! It's also autonomous, and then go to the head and make yourself! However, Liu Pei didn't think about killing people, after all, these people were too important to him. He thought that these people were already old anyway, and if it was delayed for another one or twenty years, they would be gone. At that time, the affairs of the autonomous region will be closed.
It's a big deal to give their children some knighthood and wealth compensation. If there are outstanding disciples and children, Liu Pei will also focus on promotion. As for the rest, don't think about it anymore. How could Liu Pei share that treasure land in Southeast Asia with others?
Thinking of this, Liu Pei introspected again. I feel as if my personality has changed dramatically. From the previous casual encounter, it has gradually become a more domineering character. Maybe that's a common problem for dictators, right? Liu Pei couldn't help but laugh at himself a few words. But he wasn't going to change. Having already tasted the taste of power, how can it be so easy to give it up?
The next day, Liu Pei returned to Jiaozhou, and the first thing he did was to call Liu Jiang to inquire about the situation of the Wang family. During this time, even when the war started, Liu Pei was still thinking about Miss Wang. It can be said that Liu Pei is really tempted this time.
In less than a moment, Liu Jiang arrived. Looking at Liu Jiang's appearance, he actually looks thinner. It can be seen that I have been doing a lot of mental work recently. After Liu Jiang entered the door, he saluted Liu Pei and said, "Family master, what are you looking for me?" ”
