Chapter 52 Education Begins with Dolls
At this time, most of the people in the Ming Kingdom did not know what sweet potatoes were, although as early as the Wanli period Fujian merchants had introduced sweet potatoes, but it did not seem to have been promoted to the north, Fred did not see sweet potatoes on the market in Ningbo. This is also the first time they have introduced these crops, and the bandit leader in front of them even knows the growth cycle of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which really surprised them.
Mo Li smiled smugly and said, "What is this?" I also know that potatoes can generate electricity! ”
"Potatoes to generate electricity? What is Electricity? Lei Luo was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Well, this electricity is a kind of energy source, but we can't use it in a big way yet, so we'll study it later. Now you will help me train my soldiers and make them into a brave and capable soldier! Mo Li said that he did know the principle of potato power generation, and he had tinkered with it, but the effect was not very ideal.
Moreover, the most important task now is not to engage in these inventions and creations, but to solve the problem of food and weapons first, and then to increase the strength and drive out the Tartars.
"But we didn't promise you! Moreover, we don't want to get involved in your wars, we just want to make money. Lei Luo said.
"Haha, do you have any other way to go than to promise me? Besides, I'm treating you very well! You just want to make money, and when the time comes, as long as we grow stronger, defeat the Tartars, and the people's livelihood develops, are you still afraid that there will be no silver? I promise you, as long as we defeat the Tartars and recover the Daming rivers and mountains, we will definitely allow you to be a high-ranking official, and there will be a lot of beauty and gold! Mo Li laughed.
Lei Luo and Fred looked at each other, they all thought the same, they both felt that this person was a little crazy, and only a hundred people wanted to be the master of a large country with a population of hundreds of millions?
Mo Li saw their thoughts and smiled: "It's okay, I don't need you to answer me now, I can give you time to think about it, and I believe that you will definitely make a wise choice." When you agree to stay, I have one more important thing I want you to help with, and with your ability, I think it should be possible. ”
"What's the matter?" Lei Luo couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, it's still early, so let's not talk about it first. Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. Mo Li deliberately hung his appetite.
Lei Luo saw that he refused to speak, and there was no way, and he was indeed hungry, so he had to eat with his head bored.
Basically, only Mo Li and foreigners were talking, although Ruan Shi, Liang Peijun, Guan Feng Du Geng and others were all present, but no one could understand what they were saying, but no one intervened, and seeing that they didn't say anything, Yuan Chengzhi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Mo, what did you say to these foreigners?" We didn't understand a word! ”
Mo Li smiled and said: "Childe, I was just inviting these foreigners to be our instructors and teach us their gun-making skills, so that we will not be afraid that no one will be able to make guns in the future." ”
"Really? So did they say yes? I don't think their faces are right, didn't they agree? Yuan Chengzhi said.
Mo Li was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that these foreigners still didn't agree after talking for a long time, so he said: "Don't worry, Childe, they will definitely agree, otherwise I will never let them out of Heiyun Village!" ”
"Yo, the deputy commander makes your lord so domineering! Not bad, a bit like a mountain king. Liang Peijun said mischievously, "By the way, Lord Deputy Commander, where did you learn this foreign language?" ”
"Well, I learned this when I was in Yancheng, there is a person there who has been following foreigners to trade overseas since he was a child, and he learned it when he heard more, and I also wanted to run business at that time, so I learned a little." Moli said. He investigated, and now his fellow villagers in the army have all died in battle, and basically no one knows if there is a small place called Yancheng in his hometown.
"So, can you teach me? I also want to learn Western, and it seems interesting to watch them talk. Liang Peijun said a little shyly.
"Yes! No problem, I'm thinking that if I learn from foreigners in the future, the brothers will have to have someone who can speak foreign language and communicate with them, in case I'm not there sometimes, right? So, is there anyone else who wants to learn foreign languages? I'll teach you for free! Mo Li said seriously.
"Brother Mo, senior sister wants to learn, and I want to learn too!" Yuan Chengzhi said excitedly. He felt that Brother Mo was too powerful, he could shoot and speak foreign languages.
Mo Li nodded and praised: "Good! Education should start from the baby, childe, you are one, is there any? ”
Yuan Chengzhi was not happy, and muttered: "Brother Mo, I'm not a doll!" I'm eight and a half years old! ”
Mo Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Hehe, yes! Our son-in-law is a little man! ”
Ruan Shi hurriedly said: "Chengzhi, don't be naughty. ”
Lin Guo helped Mo Li add a bowl of rice back, sat down and said, "My lord, I want to learn too." ”
Mo Li nodded and said, "Well, yes, you must also learn Guo'er, you are my adjutant!" ”
At this time, Du Geng said curtly: "Deputy commander, we are old, we don't learn this foreign language, and we can't learn it, so let's let them learn it as a young person." ”
Mo Li hurriedly said: "Brother Du is in the prime of life, where can he say old!" But Brother Du is busy, so I won't be reluctant! Zhendong, Zhenbei, you two brothers also come to learn together! ”
"No, no, my lord, I don't even know a single big character of our Ming Dynasty, let alone this foreign language! Aren't you embarrassed for me? He Zhenbei shook his head again and again.
"My lord, why don't you let me come, Xiaobei really hasn't studied." He Zhendong said.
"Well, okay, that's it, I'll let you know the time, and I'll tell the brothers later, and see if anyone is willing to learn foreign languages, come to me and sign up." Moli also knew that he was in a hurry.
The meal was finally finished. Everyone dispersed, and Mo Li also asked people to take Lei Luo and them to rest, and they would talk about it tomorrow if they had something.
Yun Han made two more sets of clothes for Lin Guo and asked her to try on clothes. Only Mo Li and Liang Peijun were still sitting at the edge of the table in the Justice Hall.
Mo Li said a little strangely: "Hey, Miss Liang, why haven't you left yet?" ”
Liang Peijun snorted.
"Something?"
Liang Peiqing shook her head and nodded again.
Mo Li was dizzy and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Nodding and shaking his head, is it because I look so handsome and stupid. ”
"You're stupid!" Liang Peijun glared at him.
"So tell me what's going on?"
Liang Peijun hesitated for a while, and said: "It's okay, it's nothing, that is, can you teach me now, how to learn foreign languages?" ”
Mo Lile was happy.
"Yes! But you have to promise me one thing. ”
Liang Peijun suddenly looked nervous: "What's the matter?" Don't mess around......"
