Early in the morning, the Li family school.

There are a lot of students who came to listen to the lecture today, more than 200 people.

The reason why everyone is so enthusiastic is because the young master personally gave a lesson to everyone today.

Since the opening of the school, Li Chuan has taught students for the first time.

These students include Mengtong under the age of ten, teenagers and adults, because the young master has said a long time ago that there is no limit to the number of years of students in the school, as long as they want to be literate, they can come to listen to the class.

In this way, those young men have to squeeze out time to come to the school if they don't have time.

Being able to read and write is always a good thing for ordinary people in this year.

"There is no necessary connection between reading and writing and doing learning."

Li Chuan stood on the podium, there was no nonsense, and he directly said the purpose: "The purpose of letting you read and write is to let you master a skill to make a living, not to let you become famous like those who read, the enlightenment course is taught by Mr., and I will tell you a subject that allows you to make a living from what you have learned in addition to farming, which is called mathematics ......"

The students sitting below all pricked up their ears and concentrated, with pen and paper in their hands.

Of course, the pen and paper are provided by the school.

"It's ...... Arabic numerals"

Li Chuan wrote nine numbers on the blackboard and taught the students about modern mathematics.

These things are very basic and not difficult to learn.

Chengte is for adults, even if they have not gone to school, but they still know a little bit of basic arithmetic, these things can be learned in life, as long as you learn the arrangement of nine Arabic numerals, you will soon be able to learn.

After a class, Li Chuan left the school.

After returning to Zhuangzi, he called Li Changyue and explained: "You arrange for someone to release the news, and a bidding meeting will be held in Jiangyin in a month, and anyone who wants to sell Western goods can come to participate in the bidding." This time there is a lot of goods, I will divide the goods into dozens of parts, and whoever pays the highest price will hand over my goods to whoever sells. ”

Li Changyue tasted it, and his eyes immediately lit up: "The young master's method is good." ”

But then he said worriedly: "But in this way, those who have not obtained the right to sell goods will hold a grudge." ”

Li Chuan said: "Since the flow of Western goods into the market, there are still few people who hate us? Despite the arrangement, young master, I am now an official, and those people dare not act blatantly, and we are not afraid of small actions in the dark. ”

Li Changyue nodded and immediately went down to make arrangements.

In the evening, Li Chuan received another message.

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, was reprimanded by Emperor Chongzhen, which caused an uproar in the Jiangnan noble circle.

The nobles of the Ming Dynasty lived a very comfortable life, especially the nobles in Jinling City, the ancestors earned them too much, no matter who became the emperor, as long as the world is still the Zhu family, their good life will not have to run.

The emperor hadn't noticed the nobles in Jinling City for a long time, but he suddenly issued an order to reprimand Wei Guogong, which shocked a group of nobles, after all, everyone's buttocks were not clean, and none of them had any feces and urine.

Although the reprimand has no beginning or end, the nobles are not stupid, they all know that it must be the Duke of Wei or the people of the Xu family who have done something angry and resentful, and the emperor heard the news, so he issued an order to reprimand.

Although it is not trivial, the nobles also have to have an attitude, saying that we are still the courtiers of the Zhu family, and we can't continue to annoy the one in Beijing, otherwise who knows what the holy decree will be next time.

Therefore, the Duke of Wei's Mansion closed its doors.

"The descendants of the founding generals are now a group of moths crawling on Da Ming's body to suck blood."

Li Chuan sneered, not only did he have a good impression of these descendants of the founding of the country, but he felt bad for them.

He has already received news from Eunuch Zhao Yuan, the last time Ying Tianfu came to Jiangyin to arrest people, it was the Xu family who was playing ghosts, this feud is settled, if there is a chance, he doesn't mind tying the Xu family to stones and sinking them into the river to feed the fish.

At the same time, another piece of news also spread in Jiangnan.

Another batch of Western goods is about to arrive, which immediately touched the nerves of countless people.

In the past few months, the Western goods that Li Jiazi in Jiangnan got from Westerners have swept Jiangnan, and everyone can see how much profit there is.

Suddenly, Jiangyin attracted the attention of countless people.

Soon after the news spread, the seven previous agents immediately visited the door.

No one knew after talking about it, but the seven of them were all red when they left.

Nan'an, Fujian.

"Keep an eye on me, once I find a cargo ship from the West, I will immediately detain it, and without our inspection, not a single cargo ship will be allowed to dock. If you find that kind of Western goods, report it immediately. ”

"Yes, sir!"

"Haven't you heard yet?"

"No, I asked a lot of foreigners, but they didn't know where those goods came from, and even those foreigners had never heard of where that kind of goods were found in the West, and they were willing to pay a high price to buy them."

"That's strange, where did the Li family kid get the goods?"

"The people sent there haven't heard any news, do you want to kidnap people to Fujian?"

"You are an idiot, that kid has already connected with the palace, and even the Duke of Wei was reprimanded by the emperor, unless my Zheng family rebels, otherwise you will tie people up to Fujian to try?"

……

Jiangyin, Su family.

Today is the day of the great joy of Su Bingguang, the eldest young master of the Su family, the bride is from a scholar's family, her ancestors have been lifted, and the Su family can be said to be a good match, and the relatives and friends who come to eat the banquet are about to break the threshold of the Su family.

Although he didn't look down on Su Bingguang, Li Chuan still came.

The congratulatory gift is not light, and two hundred taels of silver is the only one.

After all, the Su family is not a real wealthy family, although there is no white ding, but they can't make friends with real magnates, maybe they can get two hundred taels of silver, but there are almost no people who can give two hundred taels of silver as a gift.

Li Chuan sat with a few familiar scholars and talked about several interesting things that had happened in Jiangyin recently.

A scholar shook his head and said, "Do you know that there is another talented woman on the Qinhuai River?" ”

Another scholar yearns for the way: "How don't you know, I heard that Bian Sai is talented and talented, and has a peerless elegance, but it's a pity that I went to Jinling in the next four days, and I didn't have the chance to see it, if I can drink with him, even if I live ten years less, I am willing to do it!" ”

Several scholars nodded one after another, all of them looking fascinated.

Li Chuan listened to it very boringly, all of them were male thieves and prostitutes.

The Ming Dynasty is about to die, but these scholars are still intoxicated in the search for flowers and willows, no wonder the Ming Dynasty is rotten like this, the roots of the scholars are rotten, and it is strange that the country can be governed well, and it is no wonder that the useless scholar will become a classic.

However, the name Bian Sai is a little familiar.

After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered who it was.

The legendary Qin Huai Bayan, I didn't expect to finally hear one.

Bian Yujing!

Li Chuan remembered the legend about Qin Huai Bayan in later generations, and wanted to meet this woman who was famous for later generations.

I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to see.

A scholar looked at Li Chuan and said, "Brother Li's Western goods are popular in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many women want to ask for a diora but can't, and there is also some business in the next family, I wonder if Brother Li can give some goods to sell at home?" ”

Li Chuan said: "Okay, come and bid then!" ”

The scholar smiled: "Brother Li and I also have some friendship, so I don't have to participate in that bidding, right?" ”

Li Chuan smiled and said: "Business has business rules, and I don't want to destroy it, so let's bid first!" ”

The scholar's face was a little uncertain, as if he didn't expect him to be so faceless.

Several other scholars saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and hurriedly played a round.

Li Chuan didn't bother to pay attention to the scholar, and continued to be his Buddha in the presence of the old god.

What kind of thing, I don't pee to take care of myself, and I want to go through the back door, I really think I'm a dish!
