"Young Master Hu, I don't know what this Arabia means?" Among them, the shopkeeper of the most anxious restaurant, Song, was the first to ask.

Yes, the word Arabic has not yet been introduced to China these days.

Hu Changan paused and explained loudly: "It is the meaning of big food, this kind of number was first invented by big cannibals. ”

"Big food? Is it a small country in the Western Regions (Xinjiang)? After hearing this, the shopkeeper in charge of the restaurant was quite disdainful, and retorted loudly, "In that kind of small place, what is there that is worth learning from our Heavenly Empire?" ”

Originally, Shopkeeper Wang was very dissatisfied with this young master Hu who spent all day drinking.

This Young Master Hu came to the restaurant twice in three days to play the autumn breeze, and he asked for the best wine and food every time, and he never paid.

It's okay if you don't pay, after all, the entire restaurant is the property of the Hu family, and it's nothing more than the left pocket going in and the right pocket going out.

The key problem is that this Young Master Hu is not good at drinking, and every time he gets drunk, he plays crazy in the restaurant, scaring away a lot of customers.

Over time, the restaurant has become more and more deserted, and the number one restaurant directly in the capital has become crowded.

Shopkeeper Wang didn't say anything, but he really didn't like it to Young Master Hu.

I don't know what kind of fame this Young Master Hu wants to do this time, anyway, it's definitely not a good thing.

Hu Changan looked at the shopkeeper Wang, recalled the original act of pretending to be crazy and stupid in the restaurant, and suddenly felt a little hot.

However, if you want to carry out the reform, as the young master of the main family, the momentum cannot be suppressed by a shopkeeper.

Hu Changan turned his head to look at the shopkeeper Wang, and asked rhetorically: "Shopkeeper Wang, you are in charge of the restaurant, do you know what wine is the most popular on the market today?" ”

"Naturally, it's rice wine, white wine, and fruit wine (wine)." Shopkeeper Wang replied confidently. As the shopkeeper of the restaurant, he is naturally familiar with these things.

"Do you know who invented fruit wine in the first place?" Hu Changan asked with a smile.

"Fruit wine was introduced from Dawan (Central Asia) when Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty went to the Western Regions." The shopkeeper touched his beard and was confident.

"Then according to what you said about the king's shopkeeper, Dawan is also a small country, and our Ming Dynasty, as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, why should we introduce things from a small country?"

"Ah, this ......," the shopkeeper Wang realized that he was in the trap. I wanted to refute, but I didn't know where to start, and I was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Hu Changan had no intention of asking further.

In the future, there will be cooperation with these shopkeepers, and there is no need to make the atmosphere too stiff.

However, the necessary ideological education is still needed, and Hu Changan does not want his subordinates to be some pedantic and incompetent people.

"Science and technology know no borders. The so-called great power mentality is not self-contained, but inclusive. ”

"As the saying goes, we must learn all good skills and carry them forward."

"Only in this way can our country continue to grow rich and strong, and only then can we become the world's largest power like the Tang Dynasty."

When he came to Daming, Hu Changan wanted to change.

Change the outdated concepts of the ancients, change the policy of closing the country to the outside world in the Ming and Qing dynasties, conquer Japan and Europe with powerful force and technology, and make China truly become the world's first power.

Master Yi's long skills to control it. A group of shopkeepers savored Hu Changan's words, and couldn't help but understand.

This is the real mentality of a great power.

Technology knows no borders, and striving to strengthen oneself and defeat the enemy is the right way.

[Ding, Shopkeeper Song's worship value for you +2]

【Ding, the king's shopkeeper's worship value for you +2】

[Ding, Shopkeeper Liu's worship value for you +2]

......

Another wave of worship points was harvested, and Hu Changan was happy in his heart. Finally, we are one step closer to the exchange items in the marketplace.

Gently tapping on the low table on the side, Hu Changan interrupted the whispering of a group of shopkeepers.

Signaling Dianhe to take the slate and charcoal pen prepared a few days ago, Hu Changan half stood up and struggled to write and draw on the slate.

Seeing this, Dianhe immediately stepped forward and gently helped Hu Changan up, so that Hu Changan would not have to write so hard.

Seeing this, the shopkeepers were somewhat moved in their hearts.

The merchant was the lowliest.

On weekdays, those so-called gentlemen will not take a businessman in their eyes at all, and even try to avoid conversation, let alone patiently teach businessmen to read and hyphenate.

As for Young Master Hu, it is said that he had just fallen from a horse and was seriously injured some time ago, and he was not even fully injured, so he dragged his injured body and began to teach them merchants techniques.

What the small people of Shengdou need, in addition to being fed and clothed, is nothing more than respect.

And this respect, now Young Master Hu has given it to them.

......

Hu Changan didn't expect what these shopkeepers were thinking. As a modern person, Hu Changan is relatively less sensitive to these classes in ancient times.

After a while, Hu Changan finished writing.

Hu Changan faced the slate to the shopkeepers and began to popularize Arabic numerals and primary school mathematics for these shopkeepers.

I didn't expect to travel back to ancient times and become a teacher for these middle-aged people with an average age of more than forty. While teaching, Hu Changan felt quite novel.

And these shopkeepers were a little unimpressed at first.

After all, Young Master Hu was only an eighteen-year-old and a half-year-old child, and he had never been exposed to arithmetic before.

Most of these shopkeepers have family roots, and they have been learning abacus and accounting since they were young, and they have had twenty or thirty years of experience.

On the Four Books and Five Classics, the shopkeepers feel that they can't compare to Young Master Hu from the scholar family, but in terms of arithmetic, the shopkeepers feel that they can crush Young Master Hu in terms of technology and experience.

However, after all, Young Master Hu is the young master of the main family, and it is rare for him to be kind to these businessmen, so these shopkeepers still decided to suppress the contempt in their hearts and carefully study the arithmetic method given by Young Master Hu.

But gradually, the eyes of these shopkeepers changed from casual to shocked.

What! How simple is this Arabic numeral, not only are the strokes much less than the traditional ones, but even the lower ones?

What! These four calculations are so exquisite, the calculation speed is not only much faster than the abacus, but also a lot faster than the abacus?

This...... These Arabic numerals are a generational invention!

Hu Changan saw that the shopkeepers had already reacted to the convenience of Arabic numerals, and he couldn't help but be happy.

It's not in vain that I thought about how to teach for a long time a few days ago, and it seems that these ancients still have some foundation.

After the introduction, Hu Changan ordered the servant to bring a few small stone slabs and a few charcoal pens to distribute to the shopkeepers, so that they could learn and sell them now, and recalculate the contents of the account book with the method of four operations.

After hearing this, the shopkeepers picked up their pens one after another and couldn't wait to bury their heads in the calculations.

Gradually, the hearts of these shopkeepers were even more shocked.

With this series of algorithms, the calculation can at least double the speed on weekdays!

At this time, the eyes of these shopkeepers looking at Young Master Hu were already fiery.

Even the shopkeeper of the restaurant king, who had just retorted, was so excited that he could barely hold the charcoal pen in his hand, and his mustache trembled.

When Hu Changan saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little pressured in his heart.

The fiery gaze of so many big men can't stand it.

There's something more exciting to come.
