Chapter 226: Stabilizing People's Hearts (2)

Guo Bin saw that no one wanted to leave, so he said: "Guo thank you for your trust, if no one leaves, please continue to trade, and when the enemy army is repulsed, Guo will naturally notify the big guy." But today's meal, Guo is about to talk about it. ”

For a while, everyone was very puzzled, although there are several rare dishes in this meal, and the ingredients of many dishes have never been seen before, but it is just a meal, where is it worth being the Marquis of Yangzhai County, Guo Bin, the parent of a county, specially proposed to talk about the place? Aren't you going to open your mouth to borrow food? If this is the case, although you can't refuse, you need to think carefully about how to bargain.

Guo Bin didn't pay attention to what everyone was thinking, and said straightly: "This plate is called sweet and sour peanuts, and the rest of the accessories are not difficult to find, but peanuts as the main ingredient are not very common in the Central Plains." I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes, Guo still loves this mouthful. Therefore, if you can find it, as long as it is trafficked to Yingchuan, the three cities outside the Saiwai, or Luoyang, the capital division, Guo will buy it at a high price. And if anyone can find a variety with particularly full grains overseas, there is another thanks. ”

These words made everyone very puzzled. Isn't this talking about Xianbei Da Dan Yu coming to attack? Why did it change so quickly?

I only heard Guo Bin continue: "In addition, Guo is quite interested in the study of Taixi mathematics, if someone can sell all kinds of books from Anxi and Taixi, Guo will definitely give you a satisfactory price." In addition, all kinds of plant seeds in the Western Regions, I Fulong Villa is also purchased in large quantities, and the specific price of this dry thing, you can negotiate with Su Shuang after the banquet. ”

At this point, the buzz below gradually became louder. It's no wonder that everyone still has such a state of mind when this army is pressing, people are like this, once they have their own in-depth understanding and the topics they are extremely interested in, everything can be left behind. It is no wonder that many people in later generations will have to play a game even though they can wear wedding dresses.

Moreover, although the books and other things mentioned by Guo Bin are rare, the various plant seeds in the Western Regions can really be equivalent to the so-called "buying and selling without capital". These plant seeds can even be regarded as free gifts in the local area, but once they are sold to Guo Bin, they may even multiply several times. The cost of this is probably only the cost incurred during transportation.

For these plant seeds and Western books, Guo Bin is in great need at present. Because plant seeds can enrich the dining table of the Central Plains people, and even alleviate the widespread famine problem to a certain extent, while Western books such as mathematics and philosophy can enrich the minds of the Central Plains people.

Not to mention the impact of these books on mathematics and philosophy on the scholars of the Central Plains in terms of scholarship and thought, that is, the language of various Western countries, and the impact on the minds of the scholars of the Central Plains is nothing less than a storm. Guo Bin has always believed that vocabulary is an important part of human IQ. With a rich vocabulary, people can explain things more clearly, and the meaning of many very subtle words must be based on a complete understanding of their national culture before they can be fully understood.

As a simple example, the term "your sister" has become popular on the Internet in recent years. A foreigner who has learned a little bit of Chinese can easily translate it as a female relative in your family, and when this word becomes a mantra for many people, they will be "confused".

This kind of online slang that seems to have a hint of malice on the surface, but seems intimate rather than vulgar, can not only vent emotions, relieve embarrassment, and can even enhance mutual affection, but also can enhance the feelings between Chinese young people, it is extremely difficult to understand the complex meaning expressed in it. To the ears of many foreigners, they may mistakenly think that greeting each other's female relatives is a sign of politeness and friendliness.

In China, the term "ambiguous", although it is sometimes ambiguous to indicate a person's attitude or intention, is often used to describe a specific stage of a romantic relationship between a man and a woman. However, across the sea, the language has developed into a very distinctive ambiguous culture, and many ambiguous expressions in the language are difficult to fully grasp unless you have lived there for a long time.

Thus, when a person encounters a situation that is difficult to fully express in his or her native language, the vocabulary of a foreign language that he or she is very familiar with may instantly come to mind. This is why many people who have lived abroad for a long time will pop up a few words in a foreign language from time to time when talking to Chinese people, although sometimes the element of showing off cannot be completely ruled out, many times they still can't find the words that can be properly expressed in Chinese in their minds.

Isn't it possible to express a thing completely and accurately without error, and isn't it an excellent manifestation of high IQ?

Therefore, Guo Bin wants to open foreign language courses in the Fulong Villa School, or Yangzhai County School, or even the Yingchuan County School that may appear in the future. At this stage, it is used to translate foreign books, and can also be used as a tool for scholars to study the culture of the people.

You must know that language carries the wisdom accumulated by a nation in history, so learning language is the fastest way to understand a nation and a culture, and it is also the most intuitive embodiment, and it is also the most convenient way to improve a person's IQ. Therefore, Guo Binfang had this idea of promoting foreign language learning. In the future, it is even possible to translate the culture of the Central Plains into the languages of other ethnic groups and spread the culture of the Central Plains to other regions.

However, Guo Bin, who is extremely lazy, will never put forward this method so hard just because there is something that can be seen but not touched very much, and metaphysically has a very slow effect, which is also not in line with his character of killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, speaking of this, seeing that the reaction of the people below is acceptable, Guo Binfang took out his own killing moves, the so-called poor dagger.

I saw him pick up the teacup, take a sip of the warm tea in the cup, and said slowly: "However, any caravan that comes to sell the above materials must bring a student from Yingchuan County who is on a study tour." The candidate was personally selected by me, and the expenses for food, accommodation, carriage and horses for his trip were also borne by Guo someone, and everyone would never suffer a loss. ”

"The task of this student, in addition to the study tour, is to record the living habits of various crops, cultivation methods, and even the methods of eating and using them, so as to prepare them for future use." Guo Bin continued.

When everyone heard this, although they were still whispering, they agreed with this approach in their hearts. After all, they are all species that have never been seen in the Central Plains, and if they are used rashly, once they cause poisoning or other disputes, the crime will definitely be caravan. And if such a person acts as an intermediary and explains to Guo Bin's side, a lot of unnecessary troubles can be avoided.

In addition, Guo also wants to start a newspaper. Oh, the so-called newspaper is like the newspaper of the imperial court now. However, this newspaper will not only write about the major events in the world, but also publish the customs and customs of various places. In addition, you are also welcome to advertise your products in newspapers, which I call advertising. Advertise and advertise! After Guo Bin finished speaking, everyone below made a fuss.

No one has a deeper understanding of the importance of information than businessmen. Especially in today's era when an edict of the imperial court can make some people soar and prosper, and some people go straight to hell, once there is first-hand information, doing business will add a layer of protection. Not only can you use this newspaper to understand the dynamics of the world's materials, escort your own business, and seek new opportunities, but also keep abreast of the trends of the imperial court and respond to changes more calmly.

However, Guo Bin's words are not finished.

In addition, the newspaper will also publish the customs and characters of various places. The main force of his submissions is the students who are cruising with the various caravans. If the article can be published in a newspaper, in addition to his real name, the name of the caravan leader will also be written. In addition, people from all over the world are welcome to actively contribute, as long as there is something to say, it will have the opportunity to be published in the newspaper. ”

Before Guo Bin's words fell, the entire courtyard erupted in warm cheers.

Xi Zhicai looked at this scene, and the reverence for Guo Bin in his heart was overwhelming. In yesterday's meeting, when Guo Bin talked about starting a newspaper, although Xi Zhicai also vaguely felt that things would not be too simple, but he could not have imagined that Guo Bin's thoughts were far-reaching.

Last night, Guo Bin said that he was going to start a newspaper, but the people still did not fully understand his intentions. But when he said that he wanted the students of Fulong Villa School and even Yangzhai County School to travel around with the caravan, and wrote down in detail what they saw and felt in various places they traveled, and published it in the newspaper, Xi Zhicai patted his thighs on the spot regardless of the image.

Although Gaine could not obtain a qualified map according to the standard map specifications of Yangzhai County School, he could have a basic understanding of all parts of the world, and it was a great tool to enhance people's knowledge, expand their horizons, and improve their cultural level. In the future, if Guo Bin is in need, he will have his own people to act as a guide. Thinking about it deeply, this can come in handy in troubled times, and these students will undoubtedly become Guo Bin's great help in the future with the army to fight in the east and west. And the well-informed and educated soldiers undoubtedly have extremely high combat effectiveness.

What's even more amazing is that Guo Bin's rule that everyone in the world can contribute articles has really raised the influence of the newspaper. Since then, Guo Bin Group can get information from all over the world without much effort, and this information does not even require Guo Bin to pay a penny, but is actively contributed by people all over the world.

Guy Guo Bin's move really grasped the weakness of the good name of the people in the world, and promoted it through businessmen from all over the world.

But where is the illiterate who can make the business bigger? Nowadays, the merchants in the three cities outside the Saiwai are all descendants of the wealthy families in the Central Plains, and it is natural to be literate and hyphenation. Although it is indeed difficult for a strong man to ask them to write an article explaining Confucianism and Taoism, if they write an essay that introduces the feelings of local customs or even just a travelogue, there is no need for superb writing.

Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the status of merchants has been repeatedly suppressed by the government, and the imbalance between economic and political status has become a heart disease for many merchants. Therefore, many businessmen not only make money, but also become their demand for higher social status. If you can write an article and publish it in a newspaper, then you will lose face. You can publish articles, which is almost equivalent to a literati. If you feel that your writing is not good enough, it won't be too much trouble to find someone to polish it.
