Chapter 278: To go to sea

'Good day, uncle. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info', 'Good day. In the cool morning, it rained a little lightly today, and the ground was a little wet, Li Chen was a little lazy today and didn't go for a run, in fact, he only rushed back to Yangzhou last night. If it was any other place, he probably wouldn't even be able to enter the city gate. But here in Yangzhou, business is prosperous, and the flow of people is gathered, as long as you give a little sweetness, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate will also give you a little convenience.

'Today, Uncle has something to tell you. In the morning, it was Li Chen's class day again. It's just that today is a little special, Li Chen has already informed them that there is a meeting today. So after the children had breakfast, everyone went into a classroom one after another.

This classroom, which was converted from a warehouse, was crammed to the brim, and a hundred children, plus a few lessons, all came today. Li Chen was on the stage, looking at them seriously, and when the people arrived, they began to speak.

'Uncle is expected to go on a long trip next year, who wants to follow. ', Far Away? Every child's eyes widened, and they were anxious to raise their hands, isn't going out with their uncle the same as going out to play? A lot of kids think so.

Don't raise your hand just yet. Li Chen raised his hand slightly to stop them, "It's very dangerous." If you want to go to sea, you have to go to heaven. ''Heaven?? Hearing this word, many children tilted their heads and began to think about where this heaven was, and many people didn't think about it, just waiting for Li Chen to answer.

'Tianfang, uncle, do you say it's the West? Ah Xiang raised his hand and asked. Ah Xiang is the most well-behaved, the most serious in class, and immediately thought of the meaning of heaven. Tianfang has the meaning of the West in China. The human side is the east, the north is the ghost, and the south is the beast.

That's right, it's the West, and it's going to a big food country far away. It will take about eight or nine months to come back after a trip, and life at sea is very difficult, so I can't guarantee that I will be able to come back. ''Uncle, are you going over there, are you going to do business?'' The big head's eyes sparkled.

She doesn't know the heavens, but she knows the Great Eclipse or Persia. In her mind's mind, there was gold everywhere. Why? For every Persian is a great merchant and a rich man. When it comes to the richest group of people in the Tang Dynasty, those Persians or big food merchants, no one dares to call them the first.

It's about going to business. But it's not just about business, it's about walking along the way. The danger may be even higher than that of ordinary sailing. Li Chen said the ugly things in front of him, he didn't want to have children after going to sea

Noisy, crying.

'Uncle, can you not go?' Ah Xiang bit her finger and said, "The sky is far away and dangerous." Although they have never been to sea, relying on Yangzhou, these children have usually heard a lot of things about maritime businessmen and know that going to sea is a dangerous thing.

'Don't be afraid, uncle, I'll go with you, Xiaohu will risk his life to protect uncle.' Xiaohu volunteered, the puppy was also anxious to say that he wanted to go together, and the second dog came forward to dissuade him, so that the uncle could think about it more. These people spoke, and the classroom, which was originally quite orderly, became lively, and each child's reaction was different, some dissuaded, and some wanted to follow.

'Quiet. Li Chen didn't yell, he raised his hand slightly, and the children quieted down, "Uncle must go, Yixin and Huang Jiaoxi will go with uncle." Others, voluntarily, Uncle can only say, try to bring each and every one of you back. ’

This is also a reason why Li Chen must go to sea, if he doesn't go to sea, who will take them? But why did Li Chen have to take them to sea? There is no other reason, in order to promote the scientific and technological progress of Datang.

The progress of science and technology is not enough for him to open a golden finger like this, and society cannot rely on the whims of one or two geniuses to promote it. Some great men have certainly illuminated the past and present with their achievements, such as Newton, Einstein, Edison... Wait, but can they do it alone?

Individual energy is limited, some geniuses can certainly guide the way forward, but the overall development also depends on the majority of ordinary people, who are slightly ordinary compared with geniuses, and rely on their conscientiousness and the strength of all people to continuously promote the progress of society.

The reason why Li Chen wanted to take these children he regarded as tinder and take some of them to sea. It is to broaden their horizons and make them the driving force of social progress.

Li Chen is worried that if he can't cultivate successors, or even reverse the atmosphere of the whole society, and let science and technology continue to advance, sooner or later he will be caught up by Westerners, which is an overall competition. It is simply impossible to reverse it by one person. Even if he can reproduce the top technology of the 21st century in Datang, if Datang people are complacent, they will always be surpassed one day.

Westerners, isn't it just that after the great geographical discovery, the development of science and technology, and even the whole society ushered in a blowout? Freed from the shackles of theocracy, science and technology and social development began to move in the direction of practicality. Of course, there are factors in Catholicism itself, but more importantly, the great geographical discoveries have prevented them from relying on God. Pray to God and pray for a great ship.

Li Chen hopes that his going to sea can have the same effect and promote Datang's continuous progress. That's why I endured the pain and had to take a group of children to sea.

As for some people, if they think that as long as they expand maritime trade and have benefits, they will naturally have people to study it. To study the faster, bigger ships, to study the things that come from abroad. Li Chen could only say hehe. He won't put his hopes in other people.

'Okay, those who are going, remember, don't know how to swim, don't know how to swim, now you can start learning.' After being busy for a while, it was determined that there were more than 20 children who wanted to go to sea with him, and only Huang Tiansheng had some teaching chairs.

'You really have a certain family, others don't bring it, you take me. Huang Tiansheng was not angry and said, "This is not to torture you, but to let you apply what you have learned." After the court meeting, Li Chen asked Huang Tiansheng to come to his study to discuss, he had something to explain.

'Applying what you've learned? "Yes, you ran to Guangzhou, don't you get anything from this trip back and forth?" ''Of course, I don't think I'm going to go far.'' Huang Tiansheng said unconvinced, "A problem, the further south you go, the lower this star bucket is."

'If it's so low that you can't see the stars, what will you see?' Regarding Li Chen's question, Huang Tiansheng's eyes lit up first, and then he began to take the long exam. Li Chen didn't care about him, anyway, the things he had to explain were all over. He was going out later, and he was going to see Suleiman.

'What did you say, Fauber?' Can you say that again? Li Chen originally planned to go to see Suleiman, but as soon as he went out, he was blocked by Ah Yong and took him to Yang's house. Then Fauber told him something, and he was so stunned that he thought he had misheard.

'Please Li Lang, marry our wife. Fauber said in a deep voice. (To be continued.) )
