After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 75 Ship Models, Steam Engine Models
"In addition, as soon as the news of our grain purchases came out, we invited a few more overseas grain merchants to drink tea at home. It was just a chat over tea, never mentioning the purchase of grain. Then people filled the grain bags with grass, and a cart A truck will be transported to the store. Add some pressure to the gentry, wealthy households, and people with grain in the city, and let them take the initiative to come to us to sell grain."

"And when the grain is harvested, we buy all the grains of everyone but not the Zhao family, and we publicize this."

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

"It hurts only when there is comparison." Shen Wansan said, "The wealthy households will understand that we don't have to buy their food when they see that we don't accept the food from the Zhao family, and they will get nervous."

"Also, those wealthy households who sell grain to us will definitely feel very uncomfortable after selling it at a low price. But when they see what happened to the Zhao family, their hearts are instantly balanced. They will say that you see the Zhao family is too miserable. , the food that cannot be sold can only be put in the warehouse to get moldy.”

"We bought other people's food at a low price, and we can't make others unhappy, right? We will continue to do business in the future. This approach is to erect a miserable object of sympathy for them and divert their attention."

"Master is amazing." Lu Chunxiang said.

"Master, Madam, the young master returns to the manor." A maid came in and reported.

"Yeah." Shen Wansan just responded indifferently.His son Shen Mao is now a minor official in Yingtian Mansion, which Shen Wansan bought for him by building the city wall.Because he was not a scholar, he was looked down upon by all his colleagues in the government office.Only taking empty pay has no real power, it is a dispensable existence, so returning to the government has not been taken seriously.

The merchants were looked down upon by the world, even Shen Wansan himself was looked down upon.

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

"As soon as I got the news that the emperor was going to fight, I immediately contacted various commercial firms, purchased a large amount of cotton and cloth from all over the country, and started to make cotton-padded clothes." Shen Wansan said again.

"Why do you make cotton-padded clothes?" The two ladies didn't understand again.

"The winter in the Koryo region is unusually cold, and Hua Yunlong's army entered Liaodong. Don't look at the hot weather now. Once winter arrives, the soldiers will be in urgent need of cotton-padded clothes." Shen Wansan said, "According to historical records, when Emperor Xuanzong sent troops to fight in Koryo, many soldiers were frozen. It has become an ice sculpture. It is precisely because of the news that Goryeo is cold that Tang Xuanzong has no idea of ​​occupying Goryeo."

"Also, I personally went to Liaodong ten years ago. When the weather there is extremely cold, people will really freeze to death."

"Husband, you know a lot!" Zhao Xue'e and Lu Chunxiang looked at Shen Wansan admiringly.

"If you want to expand your business, you must not only read thousands of books, but also travel thousands of miles, and you must have a brain. All three are indispensable." Shen Wansan said, "When Hua Yunlong asked the Ministry of Housing for cotton-padded clothes this winter, the Ministry of Household found out When you can't buy it anywhere else and only we have it, the court will rely more on us."

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

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

"Master!" At this moment, an old servant rushed in and said.

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

"Someone discovered the old master's fairy trail." The old servant said.

"There is news about the old master!?" Shen Wansan jumped up immediately after hearing the words, grabbing the old servant's arm excitedly, "Come on, where did the old master appear? I will go to meet him immediately."

Tears welled up in his eyes: "Teacher, Wansan hasn't seen your old man for 20 years."

……

Deep in the mountains, Lujia Village Primary School.

A peaceful and peaceful paradise.

"Classmates, the teacher is giving you a physics class today." Qin Yudao said, "As the saying goes, if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid to travel all over the world. If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you can get along very well even if you cross the border."

"Teacher, what is time-travel?" Zhu Biao raised his hand and asked.

"Transmigration is a person's body or soul who, for some special reason, has entered another world or another era. He has the thoughts and knowledge of modern people, but the world he lives in has changed." Qin Yudao, "But these are people As imagined, this kind of thing can never happen, or the current science and technology have not reached it.”

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

"How can a rational person like the teacher believe in such a nonsense thing? It's just a beautiful fantasy. The teacher teaches and educates people. If the teacher talks nonsense, it will mislead the children."

"Okay, let's not talk about the digression, let's teach you physics first. You don't have textbooks, the teacher can only teach you some practical physics based on previous memory, so that you can apply what you have learned." Qin Yudao, "The teacher is here Above, you take notes below."

"Yes, sir," said the students.

"Now let's write down first." Qin Yu wrote on the blackboard: Lecture [-]: Mechanical Movement. "Everyone is running outside, the waterwheel is running to water the crops, and the earth is turning. The ships sailing in the sea and the planes flying in the sky are all mechanical movements..."

After briefly explaining the theory of mechanical motion, I drew a water tipper on the blackboard.

"The operation of this simple water tipping cart is also a kind of mechanical movement." Qin Yu said, "I went around the village before and found that there is a river in the village, but the terrain is relatively low, and it is inconvenient for the villagers to fetch water to irrigate their 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 the villagers."

Another hands-on class?The students listened and cheered one by one.For students, what they dislike most is boring lectures, but they like the combination of knowledge and hands-on.

And Qin Yu's teaching method just caters to the characteristics of children who like hands-on.

He felt that teaching in remote mountainous areas could not be done with exam-oriented education.We should engage in applied teaching in order to truly turn knowledge into power.Helping villagers get out of poverty while teaching children knowledge.

At this age, students have only started primary school courses. If they engage in exam-oriented education, at most they can get a useless junior high school diploma.In a few years, they should think about getting married and having children.

Among them, only one Lu Heidan is relatively young, but it is possible to consider letting him finish his studies normally, take the junior high school entrance exam and high school entrance exam, and finally train a college student for Lujia Village.

"If you did a good job in the water flipping car 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 of the students.
