"In addition, as soon as the news of our grain purchase spread, we invited a few more overseas grain merchants to drink tea at home. It's just drinking tea and chatting, never mentioning the matter of buying food. Then they had people fill grain bags with grass and transport them to the shops one by one. Add some pressure to the gentry, wealthy households, and people with food in the city, and let them take the initiative to come to us to sell grain. ”

"And when we harvest grain, we buy all the grain of the people, but we don't buy the Zhao family, and we hype about it."

"Why don't you just want the Zhao family? The Zhao family didn't offend us. Lu Chunxiang was surprised.

"There is a contrast before it hurts." Shen Wansan said, "When the rich see that we don't accept the Zhao family's grain, they will understand that we don't have to buy their grain, and they will get nervous." ”

"There are also those rich people who sell grain to us, and they will definitely feel very uncomfortable after selling it at a low price. But when they saw what happened to the Zhao family, their hearts were balanced. They will say that you see the Zhao family is too miserable, and the grain that cannot be sold can only be put in the warehouse to become moldy. ”

"We buy other people's food at a low price, we can't make others unhappy, right? The business will continue in the future. This is to set up a miserable object for them to sympathize with and divert their attention. ”

"Sir, awesome." Lu Chunxiang said.

"Master, madam, young master is back home." A maid entered the door to report.

"Hmm." Shen Wansan just responded lightly. His son Shen Mao is now a petty official in Yingtianfu, which Shen Wansan gave him in exchange for building the city wall. Because he was not a scholar, he was looked down upon by all his colleagues in the government. Only taking empty salaries does not have any real power, it is a dispensable existence, so returning to the home is not taken seriously.

Shangjia is looked down upon by the world, and even Shen Wansan himself is a little despised by him.

Therefore, the Shen family's business empire, he did not let his eldest son participate.

"When I first got the news that the emperor was going to fight, I immediately contacted the local trading houses, purchased a large number of cotton and cloth from all over the country, and began to make cotton clothes." Shen Wansan said again.

"What do you do for making cotton clothes?" The two ladies didn't understand it again.

"The winter in the Goryeo region is abnormally cold, and the Huayunlong army has entered Liaodong, don't look at the hot weather now, once it is winter, the soldiers will urgently need cotton clothes." Shen Wansan said, "According to historical records, Tang Xuanzong sent troops to fight in Goryeo that year, and many soldiers were frozen into ice sculptures. It was precisely because of the cold news that came back that Tang Xuanzong had no idea of occupying Goryeo. ”

"Moreover, I also went to Liaodong myself ten years ago, and when the climate in that place is cold, people can really freeze to death."

"Husband, you know so much!" Zhao Xue'e and Lu Chunxiang looked at Shen Wansan with admiration.

"If you want to make your business bigger, you must not only read thousands of books, but also travel thousands of miles, and you must have brains, all three of which are indispensable." Shen Wansan said, "When Hua Yunlong asks the household department for cotton clothes this winter, and the household department finds that it is impossible to buy it elsewhere and only us, the imperial court will rely on us even more." ”

"I will let the court know that Daming can't do without me Shen Wansan."

Making yourself indispensable is the survival of Shen Wansan, a businessman who lives at the bottom of the contempt chain.

"Sir!" At this moment, an old servant broke in in a panic and said.

"What's the matter?" Shen Wansan asked.

"Someone has found the old man's fairy trail." The old servant said.

"There's news from the old man!?" Shen Wansan immediately jumped up when he heard this, and grabbed the old servant's arm excitedly, "Come on, where did the old man appear?" I went to see him at once. ”

Tears welled up in his eyes: "Teacher, Wan San hasn't seen your old man for twenty years. ”

……

Deep in the mountains, Lujiacun Primary School.

A haven of peace and tranquility.

"Students, the teacher is giving you a physics lesson today." Qin Yu said, "As the saying goes, you are not afraid to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well and go all over the world. Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, even if you cross it, you can mix it very well. ”

"Teacher, what is crossing?" Zhu Biao raised his hand and asked.

"Crossing is a person's body or soul that, for some special reason, goes to another world or another era. He had the thoughts and knowledge of a modern man, but the world in which he lived had changed. Qin Yu said, "But these are all fantasies of people, this kind of thing will never happen, or the current science and technology have not yet reached." ”

"So, teacher, do you believe in crossing?" Zhu Di asked.

"How could a person as sane as a teacher believe such nonsense as crossing over? It's just a fantasy. Teachers teach and educate people, and if teachers talk nonsense, they will mislead people's children. ”

"Okay, without digression, I'll talk to you about physics first. You don't have textbooks, so the teacher can only rely on your previous memories to teach you some practical physics so that you can apply what you have learned. Qin Yu said, "The teacher is talking above, and you are taking notes below." ”

"Yes, sir." The students said.

"Now let's take notes." Qin Yu wrote on the blackboard: Lecture 1: Mechanical Movement. "People are running outside, waterwheels are running to water the crops, and the earth is turning. Ships sail in the sea, planes fly in the sky, all in mechanical motion......"

After a brief explanation of the theory of mechanical motion, he drew a water flip on the blackboard.

"The operation of this simple water-turning overturn is also a kind of mechanical movement." Qin Yu said, "I walked around the village before and found that there is a river in the village, but the terrain is relatively low-lying, and it is inconvenient for the villagers to get water to irrigate the farmland. ”

"In order to apply what we have learned, all our teachers and students will work together this afternoon to make a water dump truck for irrigation for the villagers."

Hands-on classes again? The students cheered one by one. For students, what they don't like the most is boring preaching, but they like to combine knowledge and hands-on.

And Qin Yu's teaching method just caters to the characteristics of children who like to do it.

He felt that teaching in remote mountainous areas would not be able to do the kind of test-oriented education. We should engage in applied teaching in order to turn knowledge into power in a down-to-earth manner. While teaching children to learn knowledge, it also helps villagers get out of poverty.

Students only start elementary school courses at this age, and if they engage in exam-oriented education, they can get a useless junior high school diploma at most. In a few years, they should think about getting married and having children.

Among them, only Lu Heidan is relatively young, but he can consider letting him complete his studies normally, take the junior high school entrance examination, and finally train a college student for Lujiacun.

"If you do well in the afternoon, I will teach you to make a model of a ship, a model of an airplane, and a model of a steam engine in the next physics class."

Making models is also a favorite among students.
