Chapter 63: The Earth Is Round
Although he already knew that the masterminds behind the scenes were the Fan family and the Fang family in Mingzhou, Huang Mingyi, the county magistrate of Kangde County, advised Yang Dewen not to act rashly.
"The five surnames of Mingzhou are not simple merchant families in Mingzhou, they can become the five surnames of Mingzhou, how can they not have a relationship in the officialdom?
Especially the Fan family and the Fang family, among the five surnames in Mingzhou, they may not be the richest family, but they are the most powerful families, and their relationship is above the court in the capital. Huang Mingyi said incomprehensibly.
Yang Dewen didn't ask about the five surnames of Mingzhou, what kind of powerful people are behind it, but since they are standing on the court of the Great Qin Empire, their status will definitely not be low.
I didn't go to King Ming's Mansion to find King Ming's support, because he was not a colt yet, just a county lieutenant.
Besides, it involves the big people in the court, not to mention the Ming prince who stays in Mingzhou, even if it is His Majesty the emperor in the court, I am afraid that he must consider it carefully, who said that the emperor can do whatever he wants.
Now that you know who is behind the scenes, the only thing you can do is to make yourself strong as soon as possible, whether you have your own strength and power.
Only in this way can we make our own voice heard in this world.
The Fan family mainly operates silk cloth, the Fang family mainly operates tea, and the restaurants and soaps originally operated by Yang Dewen are fundamentally incompatible with the operations of the Fan and Fang families.
And Yang Dewen still doesn't know whether it is Fan Chao and Fang Zijing, what the two of them mean in private, or the meaning of the two families.
Thousands of miles away in the capital of the Great Qin Empire, in a palace called Yurong Palace in the imperial palace, Princess Yurong, who was called a folk princess by the people of the capital, lived in this palace.
"Sister-in-law, do we really have to wait here for three years before we can see Brother Yang?" Satsuki asked boredly and boringly.
"Sister Xiaoyue, I have wronged you, and my sister-in-law doesn't want to be separated from my husband for three years, but my father insists on testing my husband for three years, and my sister-in-law has no choice!" Princess Yurong said embarrassedly.
"By the way, your little brother will get married in a few days, and when the time comes, my sister-in-law will take you to join in the fun, and the province will make you suffocated." Yu Rong suddenly remembered and said.
"Wow! Is Xiaotian going to get married so soon? Is the bride pretty? But what kind of gift does Xiaoyue want to give, it's good to give him a congratulatory gift, but he is his sister! Xiao Yue said anxiously.
"Silly sister, there is nothing in the Ming Palace, and Xiaotian wants to marry, but the eldest daughter of the Yuncheng Wang family, that is the richest family in the Great Qin Empire." Yu Rong said with a smile.
"How can that be the same? I'm a sister, can't I go to the bar with my empty hands? Satsuki said with a pout.
"That's easy, you just take a few boxes of soap, plus the water that your eldest brother sent us, isn't it enough?" Yu Rong thought for a moment and said.
"Ahh It's good to send soap and perfume, but we don't have a few boxes of soap left, especially perfume, the eldest brother only sent a box in total, and the princess's sister-in-law gave a point to the ladies in the palace, and there were no bottles left. Satsuki said.
"It's not easy for us to use it, just write a letter to your eldest brother and ask him to send it."
"Alas! If the eldest brother sells soap to the capital, he has to make a lot of money, and I heard that in the city, a piece of soap can be sold for 50 taels of silver.
If it is a bottle of perfume, I am afraid it will sell at least 100 taels or more. Xiao Yue said depressedly.
"By the way, princess sister-in-law, you said, Xiaotian's younger brother is married, the father of Prince Ming, and the mother of Princess Ming will definitely come to the capital.
Is Brother Yang going to come with Ming Wangye? Brother Yang, but what about the eldest brother of Xiaotian's younger brother? Xiao Yue suddenly remembered and said.
"I don't know, I haven't heard Xiaotian say it, and I haven't heard my father and mother say it.
I heard my father say that Xiang Gong is now the county lieutenant of Kangde County in Mingzhou, and there have been thieves burglaries in Mingzhou one after another, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xiang Gong to find time to come to the capital. Princess Yurong said.
In Minghe Village, outside the city of Mingzhou, Yang Dewen is teaching students arithmetic lessons.
"One up, five to four, one to nine into one," two up two, two down five to three, two to eight into one, three up three, three down five to two....... ”
"These are the basic formulas of the abacus of addition, you must memorize it firmly, memorize it by heart, and use the abacus in your hand to practice it diligently, okay, today's class, that's it." Yang Dewen said loudly.
"Sir, may I ask you a question?" A little boy suddenly stood up and said.
"Of course you can, if you don't understand something, you can bring it up." Yang Dewen said with a smile.
"In yesterday's class, Mr. Erya told us that the ground under our feet is round, is this true? Mr. ”
"This is indeed true, is there anything wrong?" Yang Dewen asked.
"Mr. Er Yanu also said that the ground under our feet is not only round, but also constantly rotating, so we will experience day and night, is this also true?" The little boy continued.
"Hmmm! That's true. Yang Dewen nodded and said.
"If we're really standing on a ball, and it's spinning, why don't we fall down?" The little fat man asked.
"What's your name? That's a very good question. ”
"My name is Li Ergou."
There was a lot of laughter from the class, and Yang Dewen also gave him this strange name.
"Has that classmate ever seen a magnet? It's that kind of iron sucking. Yang Dewen asked.
"Sir, I've seen it, and I have a magnet on me." A classmate stood up and said.
"Very good, this classmate, please bring your magnet and show it to Mr."
"Now our house is this magnet, this ball under our feet, these nails, we are standing on this earth.
As you can see, now I have turned this magnet upside down, these iron nails represent us, and now you see, have these iron nails fallen? ”
"Nope!" The students said in unison.
"No, right? Well, why is that? This is because this magnet has a strong magnetic force, and it is the magnetic field that produces the effect.
In the same way, the land we stand on under our feet is just as attractive and magnetic.
So, no matter how the ball turns at our feet, we don't have to worry about it falling.
Not only us, but everything, as long as he has weight, even if it is a speck of dust, no matter how hard you throw it into the air, he will eventually fall to the ground.
When the apple is ripe, it will eventually fall to the ground instead of flying into the air, and no matter how high the bird flies, it will still return to the ground, the ground under our feet, attractive to all things.
The sea level we see, it has a curvature, because the ground under our feet is a huge ball, so when we see a big ship on the sea in the distance, we always see the mast of the ship first, not all at once, the whole ship appears in your eyes. ”
