Poor God!

If Du Shen had known that the other party was the current saint, how dare he pretend to be forced.

This is not the modern rule of law, and it will really lose its head.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw Du Shen's gesture, he suddenly felt interesting, shook his head with a smile, and then stretched out his palm and said: "Okay, let's be even, although I am not a saint, but as the so-called ignorant is not guilty, I will also blame you." ”

Du Shen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then quickly stood up.

But together, it's embarrassing.

Because he found that the military guard behind Emperor Hongzhi was looking at him angrily with a murderous gaze.

This......

Fortunately, Emperor Hongzhi was interested at this time, and said that he wanted to see the scene in the private school, which resolved the embarrassment.

Du Shen bowed down and took Emperor Hongzhi to the private school, while the silly Zhang Hao followed behind, and he didn't dare to put a fart.

Walk into a private school.

Zhao Xiu and Xu Pengju heard the footsteps of everyone, so they put down the chalk, and when they saw that their master actually led His Majesty over, they were suddenly surprised in their hearts, and they were about to salute, but Emperor Hongzhi stopped them.

"Today is a private visit to Weifu, but there is no need to make this big gift."

As he spoke, Emperor Hongji took in the scene in the private school.

First of all, the cracked walls made him frown, and then he sighed when he saw that there was nothing decent in the private school.

"I didn't expect Du Qing's family to be so depressed."

Du Shen was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and said about himself, and said: "A few days ago, the minister was still worried about being able to eat a full meal, but it made His Majesty smile. ”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at him deeply, and the information about Du Shen had already been presented on his desk.

Not only did he know Du Shen's past, but he even knew that his father was a talent in that year.

However, about the environment in which Du Shen lived, it was only a few words, and the past was summed up by just the word poor family.

I don't know how many people like Du Qingzhi live like this.

Presumably, there should be a lot!

Emperor Hongzhi thought so, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.

At this time, he suddenly noticed the blackboard hanging on the wall, as well as the transcribed Hanyu Pinyin alphabet.

What he cares about is not the Chinese Pinyin alphabet, he has seen this thing last night, what he cares about is why this font is white?

Zhang Hao and others didn't tell Emperor Hongzhi about chalk.

"What is this alphabet written about? Why white? And not black? ”

Emperor Hongzhi twisted the chalk ash with his fingers, puzzled.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that this is written in chalk." Du Shen walked to the podium, took out a piece of chalk and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.

"How is this thing made?" Emperor Hongji was very curious.

Du Shen explained: "Back to Your Majesty, this thing is also very simple, the minister and the apprentice Zhang Hao took the pebbles in the river, refined a chemical element called calcium sulfate in it, put it in water to make it react to form gypsum, and then made it. ”

After speaking, Du Shen took out another piece of chalk and wrote the word Da Ming on the blackboard.

"This chalk writing does not require ink, and it is written clearly on the blackboard, and it can be wiped with a rag without leaving a trace, which is the best tool for teaching."

Emperor Hongji played with the chalk in his hand, and in a moment realized the advantages of this chalk blackboard.

Without ink, the writing is smooth, the font is clear, and it can be easily wiped and modified on the blackboard.

Vaguely, Emperor Hongzhi even thought that the teaching gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty stood in front of the blackboard, used chalk to write on the board, and talked about the scene with the students in the audience.

If the Chinese Pinyin alphabet is used to eradicate illiteracy, then the blackboard chalk is the literacy artifact in the hands of the teaching gentlemen!

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but move in his heart, and learned from Du Shen's example, and wrote two words on the blackboard.

He wrote after the word Daming: Yongchang.

"That's a good thing."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the blackboard, then at the chalk, and said with a smile: "Du Qing, I have a business with you, are you willing to do it?" ”

Du Shen's eyelids jumped wildly, and he hurriedly said: "It is the duty of the minister to be able to share the worries of His Majesty, how dare the minister do business with His Majesty, this is not to torture the minister." ”

Joke......

Doing business with His Majesty today?

Is he crazy or is His Majesty crazy?

The apprentices next to them also broke out in a cold sweat, the so-called companion is like a tiger, although the current saint is a good emperor, but they also sweat for their own master.

Seeing this, Emperor Hongzhi smiled dumbly and said, "I want to do business with you, am I still wronged you?" ”

Du Shen smiled bitterly and said, "The minister doesn't dare, but I don't know what kind of business Your Majesty wants to do with the minister?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi said meaningfully: "It is this chalk and blackboard business. ”

You must know that since the change of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty has not slowed down.

Whether it is military strength, economy, or overall national strength, it is sluggish.

Although Emperor Hongzhi has made great efforts to reduce taxes every year, he has not been able to withstand the continuous natural and man-made disasters.

In the relief of the victims, it is the internal treasury that allocates the silver and the treasury when the internal treasury is empty.

It's embarrassing.

In other words, the dignified lord of the Ming Dynasty, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu is actually ...... It's a poor ratio!

But this does not mean that Da Ming is also poor.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty had a lot of money, but most of it was concentrated in the hands of the squires and families.

Now that this blackboard and chalk are out, Emperor Hongzhi is convinced that these two things will definitely be welcomed by the family and the people, and they will definitely be able to earn a wave of silver and alleviate the internal debt

And what did Du Shen say just now?

Is this thing made out of stone?

Well...... It was perfect.

In addition to labor costs, even material costs are saved.

Emperor Hongzhi's small abacus was very loud, and his attitude was so strong that he didn't give Du Shen a chance to refuse at all.

Of course, he didn't dare to refuse.

Du Shenku!

What the fuck is going on!

In a blink of an eye, he became a part-time worker for Emperor Hongzhi?

None of this is true!

Du Shen gritted his teeth and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, since it is a business, how to divide the shares?" ”

Share?

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, but he heard a new word, and after thinking about it, he understood the meaning of this word, and then smiled: "How many shares do you want?" ”

Du Shen thought about it for a while, and said boldly: "Fifty percent? ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled in his eyes: "I plan to hand over this business to you, Du Qing wants to be sensible......"

Du Shen faintly hurt.

Is this the fucking emperor? It's a thief, isn't it......

"Forty percent!"

A small business is not profitable!

The smile on Emperor Hongzhi's face became even more obvious, and he played a trump card: "I promise, if there is a small offense, you can act cheaply." ”

And this kind of good thing?

Du Shen blinked.

"Chen thinks Sancheng is actually quite good."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded with satisfaction, not bad, yes, he is really talented, and he has won my heart!

"Then it's decided, I still have some miscellaneous things, but I'm going to go back to the palace first, oh yes, come on, take this blackboard chalk away for me, I like it, and I will hang it in the imperial study in the future to teach the prince."

Two guards stepped forward, one directly raised the blackboard, and the other wrapped the chalk in clothes, turned around and left.

After Emperor Hongzhi left.

But the disciples were grieved.

"Master, without the blackboard, how are we going to have classes in the next two days? Is it difficult to use a brush to copy? That stuff doesn't work as well as chalk. ”

Facing the sorrow of his apprentices, Du Shen shook his head and sighed.

"You guys, you're really short-sighted, a few pieces of chalk on a blackboard can be worth a few dollars, Your Majesty likes it, then give it to Your Majesty, we are working for Your Majesty now, and in the future, you will hang the blackboard in the private school for the teacher, and you can copy it as you want."

As soon as he thought of hugging Emperor Hongzhi's thigh and a happy life with a lot of money in the future, Du Shen couldn't help laughing.

No, be calm.

Wait a minute......

What did Your Majesty say just now?

Seem......

I haven't talked about paying money in the whole process!
