Chapter 168: Reciting Newton's First Law

At this moment, a donkey cart passed by the road and shouted, "Wonton Zhang, do you want honeycomb coal?" ”

"Yes, why not? Help me unload a hundred at my door, and I'll give you the silver when I get back!" ”

"Gotcha!"

Fang Xiaoru hurriedly looked over, and saw that the car was full of black things, cylindrical, and there were many holes on it, and he didn't know what it was, so he asked about the wontons.

"It's honeycomb coal, this is what our coal stove burns, it's convenient, easy to use, and the firepower is still good."

"Then how do you sell this honeycomb coal?"

"Ten dollars a penny, I'm burning a little more, after all, it's business. For ordinary people, two or three honeycomb coals are enough for one day and one night. ”

"But ten pennies a penny is not cheap, in the homes of ordinary people, who can earn a penny casually?"

"Why is it not easy? Don't underestimate the people in our Beijing city, who doesn't have a source of dozens of dollars a day? If nothing else, let's just say that this coal is sold, and it costs ten pennies, and he pulls a thousand coals a day, and he can earn fifty pennies if he doesn't say anything. ”

"The Sword Comes"

"How can it be so cheap? Doesn't this coal need to be costly? ”

"What do you want? Anyone who has fought in the defense of Beiping can dig the coal mine of our four princes, and the four princes said that they would not charge money, but those people did business without capital, but it was a little hard to dig out. ”

Fang Xiaoru was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Then why don't you dig it?" ”

"It's not that I don't have a business, the four princes said, the villagers and neighbors take care of each other, you can't say that you don't need money to dig the coal, and we can't rob people of such a business, those who dig out the coal and sell it as honeycomb coal are all at home and have no livelihood."

To be honest, it is also sold cheaply, and it is manual work, and the wonton zhang, who has a livelihood, will naturally not rob this business.

Fang Xiaoru's heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

He has always wanted to retro the weekly ceremony, for what? Since his father was framed by a traitor, and was implicated by the empty seal, after Hongwu was killed in Beijing in the ninth year, Fang Xiaoru was full of grief and indignation about this world, and he was determined that if he had the opportunity, he must be retro courtesy, respect and order, and have no difference between relatives.

In the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen was born, Lu Ben found him, and asked him to be a teacher for Zhu Yunwen after Zhu Yunwen grew up.

He devoted himself to the study of learning, and his political and historical theories based on the idea of self-denial and retribution were appreciated by learned people, and prose and poetry were easy for him to come by.

Although Lu Ben is not in time, the Lu family is a noble family of the Yuan Dynasty since the Song Dynasty.

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, he was recommended by Wu Shen and Jieshu, who were then scholars of Dongge University, and he met Emperor Hongwu and was rewarded by Emperor Hongwu for his good manners.

Who knows, he has not been reused, but Wu Shen said that the more this is the case, the more it means that the emperor wants to reuse him, the emperor is already old, if there is a suitable and young candidate, he will naturally be left to future generations.

At that moment, he saw the dawn, and later, Prince Yiwen died, Fang Xiaoru felt that God was really pitying him, perhaps, this is also the will of God, God's mercy on the people, borrowing his hand to restore the Zhou ceremony, giving the people a peaceful and prosperous world.

He has never been able to imagine what kind of world is a peaceful and prosperous world, and at this moment, the people in Beijing let him see what a peaceful and prosperous world is.

Seeing the children going to school with their schoolbags on their backs, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but follow, and when he arrived at a school, the children rushed in, Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but follow up, but was stopped by the gatekeeper, "This is the school, you are not a teacher, you are not allowed to enter." ”

The gatekeeper was an old man of about seventy years old, with gray hair and beard, but in good spirits.

It doesn't matter if you don't let you in, Fang Xiaoru leaned on the side of the door and heard the sound of reading from inside, "One by one gets one, one two gets two, one three gets three...... Seventy-seven forty-nine, seventy-eighty-fifty-six......"

What is this?

Fang Xiaoru listened to this neat and uniform voice, was stunned for a long time, and asked, "Dare to ask my uncle, what is learned in the school here?" ”

"Math!" The old man smiled, touched the beard under his chin, "The four princes said, this is the welfare of our children in Beijing, these children, not only their parents, they themselves have participated in the defense of the city, the four princes let Ma Gonggong run this school, specially invited the arithmetic teacher, and when they have laid the foundation, they will go directly to the Ming Imperial Academy in the future, I heard that the fourth prince is the dean." ”

"This ......" Fang Xiaoru couldn't understand, "only read arithmetic?" Will you be a shopkeeper in the future? ”

"Hahaha, what do you mean by that? If you learn arithmetic, you can only be a shopkeeper and give people an account book? How can there be such a thing, don't say anything else, just say that this honeycomb coal, not everyone does it well, after the four princes pointed out the people, the honeycomb coal made is easy to use, just say that the sewing machine, the four princes said, it involves several disciplines, as well as textile machines, this world, only our textile machine in Beijing is good, I didn't read, I don't understand anything, the size will not measure, how to do? ”

The old man looked at Fang Xiaoru with disdain, "The scholars in the world all say that they are smart, what is smart?" The four princes said, after reading books, becoming officials, fighting in the court all day long, there is no value at all, all the mistakes, reading those, it is better to learn something useful. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back, but Fang Xiaoru was reluctant to go, he leaned on the door frame, and listened to the sound of reading aloud from inside, "Any object must maintain a uniform linear motion or a static state until an external force forces it to change its state of motion." ”

What is this? Fang Xiaoru was stunned again, but at this time, there was no old man who could help him answer his questions.

"Mr. Fang!"

A voice sounded behind him, Fang Xiaoru turned around to look, he didn't know, he frowned.

"Mr. Fang, I am the pedestrian Si Chen Sheng, the emperor has a decree, please accept the decree!"

Fang Xiaoru stood still, Chen Sheng looked at him deeply, and he was not angry, thinking of the advice of the four princes when he summoned him before coming, he held back and said, "Mr. Fang, at the family banquet in the palace, Zhu Yunxi sued Prince Yiwen and Princess Lu for murdering Prince Yiwen's concubine Chang and the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, the human and material evidence is there, the emperor has a decree, and orders His Royal Highness the King of Gu and Mr. Fang to check this together, if Zhu Yunxi's complaint is true, the emperor wants to avenge Prince Yiwen and the emperor's eldest grandson, Zhu Yunxi is falsely accused, then he must clear the innocence of Prince Yiwen." ”

Fang Xiaoru was stunned, is there anything else going on? He couldn't help but think of the rumors in the city before Zhu Di broke the city, at that time, he thought that the situation in the court was not good, and the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, so there were such rumors.
