Chapter 173: To be deceived or not to be deceived

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan played Go in the current era, not later.

This is not because of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's views on ***, although both of them are indeed very anti-Japanese, but in terms of Go, I have to admit that it is fairer to play after *** has been changed.

The reason why two people play like this is to cater to others in the future, such as playing chess with a certain official, you can't always say that people play according to your rules, right?

The official can press it, and if the emperor plays chess with you, you also tell the emperor that you can't do this, you have to follow mine, and then play easy, then the emperor will not be easy, if he doesn't kill you, he will relieve his anger?

This rule was originally an old rule, but for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, it was a new rule, the two of them didn't adapt very much, they have been under it for three years, and it is the same now, the previous thinking always affects the current law.

But even so, with the experience of their predecessors, the chess they play is not comparable to ordinary people, especially the various chess games in ancient times, if you want to learn chess, you must first figure out the rules, and then you have to play chess games.

The two of them are playing this now, and when Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao came over, they saw the layout on the chessboard, and the two of them were stunned at the same time, and when they were about to take a closer look, Zhang Xiaobao suddenly wiped the chess pieces, and the plate was messed up, and said: "If you don't play, you will always lose." ”

"Well, then I won't play." Wang Juan also found that there were two more people watching, such a famous game can't be taken out casually, it is easy for people to praise it high, and then fall flat.

The two of them stopped playing, but what Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao saw just now was that they had written down a lot, and they always felt that this chess game was wrong, at least it shouldn't be something that the two babies could play, as if they had seen the sword light and sword shadow in the majestic style.

It's a thrilling step-by-step approach, so possible?

Seeing that others messed up the chess, the guess in the hearts of the two old men was further confirmed, and it was definitely not simple.

"Go ahead." Old man Bi wanted to take another look, and said beside him.

"No, it's not fun, Grandpa Bi, are you back? Is it okay to eat out? Zhang Xiaobao said to Old Man Bi when he began to pick up the chess pieces into the box.

"Okay, it's actually not bad these days, it's not bad to go out for a walk, I heard that you and Juan Juan are sick, what's going on?" Old man Bi deliberately teased Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Zhang Xiaobao swept another person with his residual vision, knowing that this should be Yao Chong, so he was angry, and replied: "Actually, there is no serious illness, but if you are tired, you will be sick and have a headache, this game of chess will relieve you." ”

For the first time, the two old men heard that a headache can be relieved by playing chess, isn't it that the more they play, the more they get the headache?

Old man Bi continued to ask, "How are you tired?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao was waiting for this sentence, "Arithmetic, arithmetic, arithmetic is tired, saying that it takes 660,000 feet to walk from here to the riverside, and it only takes 640,000 feet to come back from a detour from the riverside, why is it short, I and Juan Juan have not calculated it, which also said that if I walk, then walking 1,800 feet and Juan Juan walking 2,200 feet is the same as 2,200 feet, both are 200 long, and then ......"

"Wait, why do you have to use a ruler to calculate, this number is big, isn't it small if you change it, and when the time comes, it's going to be counted as a ruler, and it's simple."

Yao Chong didn't know what was wrong with him, and he also wanted to learn from Old Man Bi to tease Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

Zhang Xiaobao really didn't expect the two of them to be fooled, but when Yao Chong's words came out, Zhang Xiaobao finally found an excuse, and immediately answered:

"No way, it turns out that this place is also reasonable, but since people who don't know rational numbers have begun to understand what reason is, they can only use rulers and zhang to calculate."

Yao Chong is in his seventies, he has never seen anything in his life, and he has long been unfazed, but when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words today, his old face was red, he understood, Zhang Xiaobao was scolding, and he was scolding.

Say that he is unreasonable, who let the person who sent him out not get things done, no, go back and beat him with twenty more lashes, without him can let himself be scolded?

"Hahahaha~! How about Yuanzhi? Now I know, it's nothing to offend adults, the little baby must not be provoked, Xiaobao, reasonable, everyone is reasonable, someone is lawless with the people behind him, and it has been cleaned up, so don't be embarrassed anymore, tell us, what is the thing that fell? ”

Old man Bi laughed, and after the laughing Yao Chong's face changed from red to black, he said to Zhang Xiaobao, he believed that Zhang Xiaobao could understand what it meant.

Zhang Xiaobao really understood, it seems that the person must have been cleaned up after he went back, Grandpa Bi and Yao Chong came over in person, since someone is unlucky, then forget it, Yao Chong can't be so stupid if he wants to come, what should be done and what should not be done can be clearly distinguished.

"Grandpa Bi, it seems that you are a blessed person, as soon as you come, my head will not hurt, what about you?" Zhang Xiaobao was cured, and Wang Juan also nodded, which means that she is also well, which is very magical.

"Since it's not uncomfortable, tell me why the hanging things are bright." Old man Bi has been entangled in this matter, and he hasn't slept well.

Zhang Xiaobao waited for the three lights to be extinguished, and then it was good to see what was going on, whether it was a problem with the materials or the air was not pumped clean.

At this time, I heard the old man Bi ask, and said: "I don't understand this thing sentence by sentence, there are too many things involved, Grandpa Bi, you just need to know that this thing uses a kind of electricity, and the place where the windmill is located can generate electricity."

What is electricity, for example, when you wear a sweater in winter, take it off when you sleep, sometimes you can hear the crackling sound, and you can see sparks, this is a kind of electricity, relying on electricity to make this thing bright. ”

Zhang Xiaobao's words spoke, Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao fell into contemplation at the same time, they really only encountered the kind of thing that occurs when they take off their sweaters in winter, it turns out that this is like this, the electricity is bright, I think this thing is the thing that can keep that kind of situation happening, so that the electricity is always on.

"So what's the use of this thing? Is it not necessary to light candles in the future, is it expensive? Old man Bi had long known the idea that the Zhang family would have to make money if he got something out, so he asked the price directly.

"It's expensive, the thing that can generate electricity, you need a thousand runs, you need a lot of copper in it, you also need a magnet, this is cheap, fifty runs, you can't sell it now, the time of light is too short, no one can spend that unjust money, wait for a way to make the light for a long time."

Zhang Xiaobao recounted to Old Man Bi as much as he thought, but the price had already been set, and no one could change it.

Old man Bi estimated the price, and knew that it was impossible for ordinary people to use it, and the thing that could make this thing light up would cost a thousand yuan, how many ordinary people couldn't make money in their lifetime, and the one that could be brightened, one was fifty yuan, which one of ordinary people could afford it?

Seeing Old Man Bi's frowning appearance, Zhang Xiaobao knew what Old Man Bi was thinking, this wish was beautiful, but it couldn't be realized, after all, the technology was there, did you want to make the whole country electrified? Let this project be completed by future generations, I don't have that ability.

All you can do is make money with this thing and make people change their minds at the same time.

"Grandpa Bi, in fact, it doesn't have to be so expensive, as long as you buy more of this thing called a light bulb at a time, you can *** get a thing that generates electricity, and when you study it later, such a light bulb should be able to last for a month, and a light bulb can top at least ten candles, which is cheaper than lighting candles."

Zhang Xiaobao added.

Old man Yao nodded, feeling that this was indeed the case, that is, saving money.

But Old Man Bi didn't think like this, and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Isn't that one thing that can generate electricity make a lot of light bulbs light up?" ”

"Well, almost, as long as there is a good power and place that can make the generator turn, even if you light a hundred light bulbs, there will be no problem, and then the whole yard will be brighter."

Zhang Xiaobao had already sensed that Old Man Bi had discovered the problem.

Sure enough, after hearing this answer, Old Man Bi said: "That means that as long as this thing called a generator can make as many light bulbs as possible, people who can usually afford it will try to turn on as many lights as possible, right?" You can't let the generator's electricity go to waste, right?

Also, all the rich and noble families will also compare with each other, and you sell too many light bulbs, and you don't know how much the light bulb should be worth? Isn't it okay to run twenty times? ”

"How much is it worth? Grandpa Bi, how much do you say this bulb is worth? You say the number, my family pays for it, as long as my family can buy it, you can ask someone to make one, preferably a light bulb that can be lit for a longer time. ”

Zhang Xiaobao asked rhetorically.

Old man Bi couldn't say anything now, he really didn't think of the problem of technology, others can't make glass, even if it can be replaced by glass, others can't make such a shape, who knows that this bulb is blown out, even if it is blown out of shape, how can it be bright, what is put in it is also unknown.

Don't look at yourself and know what this glass is burned, but people who don't understand, even if they spend tens of millions of dollars, this is the most valuable place, just like that propeller, how much does it cost to build a propeller? Isn't it steel, but why can't you let others know? It's not that I'm afraid to let people learn, technology is the most important thing.

The simplest example is how much is a cucumber worth in the north in winter? How many cucumbers can be grown with that technique?

Old man Bi is no longer the person who used the actual value of everything to measure things, he knows the importance of technology.

Considering all kinds of aspects, Old Man Bi glanced at Old Man Yao and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you and I will hand over to the end, how much is the cost of this thing, not counting the technical costs." ”

Zhang Xiaobao didn't answer, but looked at Old Man Yao, who immediately swore: "I promise not to tell anyone outside of here, otherwise my Yao family will be cut off, and I won't even say anything about the emperor." ”

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and said: "Actually, I'm not afraid of the two grandfathers saying it, it's just the last thing, to be honest, this bulb is enough for five or six cents, and the expensive one is a generator, which needs a magnet or a good magnet, and more importantly, it needs a lot of copper."

Copper has always been a thousand, and it takes less than twenty yuan of copper to make it, plus various lines, that is to say, thirty dollars, there is no problem in buying a thousand light bulbs and a generator, if you count the windmill, and then count the consumption after failure, there are forty yuan. ”

"Then your house is going to sell it so expensive?" The two old men said at the same time, their hearts also lit up, a light bulb only costs four or five yuan, and it can be lit for more than a month, doesn't that mean that ordinary people with a little money can also use it? One can do it one by one, and one such generator can light up a thousand light bulbs, and it is not so easy to break.

If there is a generator for 1,000 households, the cost will be lower, and there is indeed little copper, but there is not copper in the newly discovered place.

Zhang Xiaobao knew what they were thinking as soon as he saw the faces of the two people, and said: "Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Yao, it's not what you think, what I said about a generator can make a thousand light bulbs light up that is theoretical, Grandpa Bi knows what theory is, and it is impossible in reality."

It can't turn so fast at all, and this generator also has a time to use, which is about the same as the last bulb made, and it will be good if it is used for two months. ”

"Huh? So that's the case, the 100 are fine, it's a big deal for the money of this generator...... Your family is out, let a state light up first. ”

Old man Yao and Zhang Wang have been in contact for a short time, and many things are not clear, so they say so.

"We can pay for it, but can you guarantee that no one else will steal this technology? Especially this generator, others will come to the trouble when they learn it, and the two grandfathers will come with me, and I will show you a fun thing. ”

As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he pulled Wang Juan up, and asked someone to take out a generator from the warehouse, load it in a carriage, and drive it with the two old men, and came to the side of a big river half an hour later.

Tie up a horse and let people drive the horse to provide power, while Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to the water's edge with a line, found a good position, and put the two lines into the water.

Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao saw a very frightening scene, the water actually began to turn the fish up, and one by one the fish floated up.

"Grandpa Bi and Grandpa Yao have seen it, this thing can still be used like this, his use is wide, if it is to make a state light up, how many people will be sent to each place to guard, and how much manpower will be wasted by the guards? It's not a good deal. ”

Zhang Xiaobao took back the end of his hand and said.

This is what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan value the most, technology, technology that can generate electricity, anything that can be produced in the future needs this generator to support, there is a more important thing Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not say, and it is not suitable to tell the two of them now.

Old man Bi and old man Yao finally understood, that is, the generator is very important and has many uses, if people steal or rob it, Datang's loss will be great.

"Baby, it's really a baby, no wonder you have to meet people's requirements for everything, I see." Old man Yao said with emotion.

Old man Bi knew that he was not talking about a generator, but about the people who the Zhang family had never been able to find, things were dead, people were alive, and the real treasure was people, with such people, would you still be worried about other things?

Old man Bi understood this truth a long time ago, "So, you can't say it anyway, otherwise, unless you can catch someone at once, it may not be useful to catch it, and many people can't pry their mouths open, let alone those two people can pinch it." ”

Old man Bi said this close to Old Man Yao's ear, which means don't let him do anything crooked, it's useless, the Zhang family will naturally give what he can give, and what he doesn't give is because it doesn't belong to the people's livelihood or hasn't been studied.

Old man Yao nodded violently, he understands now, the Zhang and Wang families are not unpatriotic, but many things cannot be used directly now, and they have to study and understand it, otherwise it is easy for the spies of other countries to learn it.

"When we make enough money, the first thing we will do is to have people build more big ships, and then go to sea and go further afield." Zhang Xiaobao said after putting the things away.

"Where are you going?" The two old men asked again at the same time.

"You don't know, it's far away, it's farther than the island that I just discovered last year that belongs to my Datang, there are things we need, if you want people to use such light bulbs, you have to go to the place, and maybe you can find more copper mines along the way."

Now we can let the Ministry of Industry send people over, and we will teach them, study little by little, improve little by little, and wait for one day, we will be able to let the people of the whole Datang use such things, and we can produce better things. ”

Zhang Xiaobao can't say, and he can't explain clearly, he can't tell the two old men that Zhang and Wang need the fleet to go to the Strait of Malacca, or even farther away, he won't go there in person, and it's easy to hang up in the sea.

Old man Bi knows a lot of secrets of the Zhang family, and he doesn't force him to ask, it is not an accident that he can understand so many things now, it is his own payment, which has been recognized by the Zhang and Wang families, otherwise, with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's smart appearance, how can they tell the secrets?

Old man Yao is also adapting, he also understands that the two little babies in front of him are not easy to fool, especially Zhang Xiaobao's reaction after the people sent out did something wrong, out of today's saint was smart when he was young, and the rest of the babies can be so smart, and they suddenly knew that they couldn't come over to see him and Old Man Bi.

When he walked back, Old Man Bi deliberately took a car with Old Man Yao and drove Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan into another car, and he still had something to say to Old Man Yao.

"Yuanzhi, don't remember one thing, that is, it's nothing to deceive Xiaobao and Juan Juan, the two babies should be playing with us, it doesn't matter if you are fooled, but you must not deceive the family of two people, for the sake of his father, that Xiaobao can do anything."

Old man Bi warned Old Man Yao in the car.

Old man Yao really didn't know about this matter, and asked rhetorically: "Long Ze, what if I have to bully Zhang Zhong?" After the bullying, I ran back to the capital, is there anything that little baby can't do? ”

"Then he can let the emperor hand you over, if you don't hand it over, you will blow up the capital, don't doubt whether he will do it, and don't test him if he dare, there is only one chance, he is special to his family and other families, look at the house of the four little babies You don't know yet?"

Old man Bi shuddered when he thought of Zhang Xiaobao dealing with people who looked down on his father or bullied his father, like a madman, and the Zhang family did have dangerous things, no one could stop him.

Old man Yao nodded and said, "See, although the house is doing well on the outside and uses other spices, I can smell it, there is agarwood in it, is it ......?"

"Yes, the whole house is made of agarwood, Xiaobao and Juan Juan have nothing to say to their family, and the master who taught them seems to spoil them, and many things are not made to make money, but to make the family more comfortable.

The two little babies are smart, but the best place is not in reading, but in cooking and making clothes, the clothes they make are the most comfortable to wear, and the food they cook is also the best, just to make the family feel better, so you can always understand, right? ”

Old man Bi touched his clothes, which meant that I also had clothes made by two little babies.

Yao Chong has experienced so many things in his life, but he was frightened by the words of the old man Bi now, he really didn't expect it to be like this, he couldn't figure it out, he really couldn't figure it out, and at the same time, he was a little jealous of the people of the Zhang and Wang families, giving birth to a son and daughter, he was so sensible since he was a child, and he was so filial.

"I know it this time, and it's also the reason why I don't want to contact the rest of the Zhang and Wang families, in case I don't pay attention when I speak, the two babies will definitely get angry, so I usually stay with the two babies, the food they cook is delicious, and they know how to take care of people, and there is nothing wrong with joking with them and deceiving them.

Many people don't know, so they offend Zhang Zhong, and the result is that they can't survive and die, needless to say, the two babies will blow up the capital for their families, just rely on their means and the guidance of the masters behind them, they can exchange their interests for other people's lives.

If you don't believe me, you can find someone with enough weight to try it and see if they will give all their skills just to buy that person's life? If you don't like someone, let that person come over and make trouble with Zhang Zhong. ”

Old man Bi looked at Old Man Yao's surprised expression and said a few words, this time Old Man Yao finally believed it, he didn't think Old Man Bi would lie to him.

asked: "Then how can you let the two babies follow next to you and ask for more news?" ”

"This is simple, as long as you teach them to learn, they will follow them, they are very studious, after teaching, you will know, it is luck to be able to teach such a baby, smart, and you can't find a smarter one."

Old man Bi said with a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.
