Chapter 814 Master of Botany
Jiang Ji stood on the podium and looked at the classroom that was big enough to accommodate 200 people. With less than 50 people, he was in a trance for a while.
"Shouldn't it be like this?"
Jiang Ji murmured.
His self-introduction effect was good, and he taught alchemy and herbal medicine, which were extremely popular subjects in both the Central Plains and the North, and received considerable attention.
Of course, the most important thing was the alchemy class in the morning. Jiang Ji played extremely well. Not only was the language easy and humorous, but also precise and concise. It can be said that students can easily learn these knowledge in a feeling like a spring breeze.
Ordinary students who take Jiang Ji's class can feel that they are academic masters, and no matter what knowledge they have, they can get it right.
It stands to reason that for the students who have heard this morning's class, even if they don't come to the second class, 90% of them will have no problem coming.
Jiang Ji had this confidence, but now, looking at the two or three kittens in the classroom, he was struck with doubts about life.
Are the brains of the barbarians different from those of the Central Plains?
Hey, you don't know how to cherish such a powerful teacher, no wonder it has been suppressed by the countries of the Great Central Plains.
...
In fact, this had nothing to do with Jiang Ji's ability, it was simply because he was too unlucky. The time for the second class happened to coincide with Sun Mo's.
As for the morning, Jiang Ji was at 7 o'clock, perfect and Sun Mo staggered, and after finishing the class, he went back to the dormitory to prepare for lessons, so he didn't know the sensation caused by Sun Mo.
...
Sun Mo stepped on the sound of the horn and walked into the classroom. He saw that the 200 seats were already full of people. In the corridor, there were still people who were listening. He was calm on the surface, but in his heart, he smiled proudly.
The tactics succeeded.
He uttered mad words and did not attract the attention of famous teachers, used Wanyan Zhenghe's popularity to attract people, and then stunned the audience with his excellent performance, and became famous in one lesson.
Although half of the classrooms are purely for watching the fun, the other half should really want to learn something.
"Hello students!"
Sun Mo said hello.
Perhaps it was because of the deflation in the morning, Wanyan Zhenghe kept a low profile this time and sat in the back row.
"Can anyone tell me what is the greatest benefit of knowing these plants?"
Sun Mo asked.
"Find the ingredients for alchemy!"
"It can increase the survival rate of our adventure in the dark continent!"
"Find useful herbs."
Most of the students' answers revolved around 'discovering herbal medicine', which is not surprising, even in modern times, there are not many people who study this subject, after all, the benefits are too small.
"Everyone is right, but the most important thing is actually making money."
Sun Mo chuckled lightly.
Whoa!
Sun Mo's words left the students dumbfounded.
"Teacher, you are so direct!"
The boy with braided hair also came in the morning. Hearing this, he couldn't help but joke.
"Teacher, I remember you people from the Central Plains, you pay attention to the gentleman and the righteousness, and you don't talk about profit. How did you come to you, and you are so philistine?"
Wanyan Zhenghe fired.
"Little Wang Ye was born in a noble family, and has never been hungry, right? Many students' goals in their studies are not to become heroes, nor to become high-ranking people, but to fill the stomachs of their families."
"Looking at your father's dark-skinned face, stained hands and body, sweaty work from the cool sun, working hard to earn a meal for yourself, don't you want to make money?"
"Mothers climb the ice and lie on the snow to herd sheep and herd cattle. In order to prevent the lambs from freezing to death in the snow, they also use their body temperature to warm them. Because they die, the family will have no tuition for the children. In such a day, you don't want to make money?"
"Of course, if you don't make money, you won't be able to pay taxes, and your home will be raided by the army of the little prince's family, and your parents, siblings, and siblings will become slaves..."
...
Sun Mo rhetorically asked, echoing in the classroom.
Those princes and grandsons are better, but those students from ordinary herdsmen's families have red eyes.
As the saying goes, a four-legged person is not considered property, because a serious disease or disaster can kill livestock. For herdsmen, starvation is the most terrifying word.
Wanyan Zhenghe's face was not good-looking, because some students looked at him with anger in their eyes.
After all, as a little prince, his food, clothing, housing and transportation are both derived from the taxes everyone pays.
"So, don't look down on people who talk about money. As long as the money is earned by people with their own hands and sweat, this is their medal."
Sun Mo glanced at the students in the class.
"The road to cultivation is difficult. Without money, it is absolutely impossible. Even if the school waives your tuition, what about food, clothing, housing, and transportation? What about the purchase of weapons and pills?"
"I teach botany, and one of the biggest wishes is that you can find the value of plants, turn them into silver, and fill your money box."
Following Sun Mo's words, the eyes of those civilian students all lit up, and their spirits were obviously much more concentrated than before.
Can make a fortune, who doesn't like it?
In the crowd, a middle-aged teacher with gray hair, holding a roll of books in his left hand, carrying it behind his back, with his back straight, stood outside the window, watching Sun Mo lecture.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but nodded.
"Master Duanmu thinks what he said is good?"
Beard was also nearby. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but walked over and asked.
"Many famous teachers want to teach some kind of Sword God and Sword Saint. They want their disciples to be famous all over the world, but they don't know that the most important thing they should do is to feed their students."
Duanmu Li sighed lightly: "When a person is full, he has the qualifications and opportunity to talk about ideals and pursuits, otherwise everything he said would be a castle in the air."
Beard was silent.
In fact, he just thought that Sun Mo was a bit of a philistine. If you say that, wouldn't all the students you teach go into the eyes of money?
But now listening to Master Duanmu say this, it seems very reasonable.
Thinking about when I was a child, I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. My only thought was to enter Fulong Academy, to learn a skill, and not to be hungry again in this life.
"It turns out that it was me who became superficial!"
Bearded began to reflect.
At the same time, he had a little admiration for Sun Mo.
Ding!
Favor +10 from Beard, neutral (35/100).
Duanmu Li looked at Sun Mo who was standing on the podium, confident and elegant, talking eloquently, the appearance of scolding Fang Qiu, as if I was the world, and he was intoxicated.
I haven't seen such a wonderful lecture in years.
Are Sun Mo's lectures rare?
For a botanical master like Duanmu Li, they were all familiar things, but Sun Mo's confidence, Sun Mo's style, and Sun Mo's wit were fascinating.
"The speech is clear and the demeanor is elegant, but unfortunately, there is no face that matches it."
Duanmu shook his head.
Duanmu Li had a thorough understanding of human nature. Because he admired Sun Mo, he only boasted a few words. In fact, Sun Mo was taking advantage of the weakness of human nature.
In this world, absolutely no one thinks they have too much money.
You said that botany has all kinds of benefits. It is better to say that it can make money. Sun Mo can use this to make students interested, and then take the initiative to learn.
However, in this way, students must see the hope of making money before their interest is wiped out by the boring learning process.
If the fish cannot eat the bait, they will leave.
Duanmuli wanted to know what Sun Mo did, and then saw that Sun Mo was writing and drew a plant on the wall, which surprised him.
Because even he, the well-known master of botany, has never met.
"It's interesting!"
Duanmu Li couldn't help but applaud.
Seeing this scene, the bearded man doesn't know. So, is this Sun Mo so good?
"If a student, or a famous teacher, recognizes this plant, I will give him an encyclopedia of dark species plants."
Sun Mo smiled.
His tactics were as Duanmu Li said, and he also understood that he had to be willing to bait in order to attract more students, so he took out an S-class dark species.
S-level, which means people in the entire Kyushu, know very little.
Wanyan Zhenghe looked left and right, and found that there were several famous teachers majoring in botany in the crowd, but they were chatting with each other at this time, obviously ignorant.
"Niang Gan Li, can no one slap him in the face?"
Wanyan Zhenghe was unhappy.
"Teacher, don't give a shit, explain it quickly?"
The braided boy used honorifics.
"This plant is a species that lives on the third floor of the Dark Continent. It is called highland barley. Its fruit, as I drew it, is in the shape of an oval fruit. After pressing, it can produce a lot of oil. It can be eaten or applied to the body, and it has a miraculous effect on burns.”
Sun Mokop.
The students whispered.
Seeing that there were only a dozen or so people taking notes, Sun Mo immediately shook his head in disappointment: "Do you think it's not a herb and cannot be used for alchemy, so it's not worth taking notes?"
"Just with your mentality, even if the opportunity to make a fortune comes to you, you can't seize it."
"This highland barley is not a herb, but it is a commercial crop, grown on a large scale, and can be used to replace animal fats."
In Kyushu, there is no foreign species such as soybean, so there is no soybean oil. Although there is grass seed oil extraction, the process is cumbersome and the yield is extremely low, so lard and butter are mostly used.
The family can afford expensive butter lamps, which is a symbol of wealthy people.
Children from common people's families were limited by their horizons and were somewhat ignorant, but those children from merchant families' eyes suddenly lit up, and immediately opened their notebooks and began to copy the plants on the blackboard.
"Although the world in front of everyone seems to be the same, but you look at it differently, the world you see is different."
After Sun Mo finished speaking, Jin Yuliangyan broke out.
The bearded man couldn't help but clapp his hands, he said it well.
All have some zen flavor.
So there are dozens of favorability contributions.
"You are so lucky, I have never published this plant before, well, I will now start to introduce it in detail."
As soon as Sun Mo finished speaking, someone exclaimed.
"Teacher, do you mean that only you know about this plant?"
The question from the braided boy made everyone hold their breath and looked at Sun Mo expectantly. If that was the case, they would be rich.
