Chapter 931: Foresight
[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember in a second, never lose it!
Even if the concept of the steam engine appears, it is not easy to mature.
Fang Jifan knew this very well.
As for the steam loom produced by Zhu Houzhao.
Nine times out of ten, the efficiency may not be as good as manpower.
After all, this is just the beginning, and there is still much room for improvement.
But even so, this must be an epoch-making progress.
When it appears, it will drive countless people to study steam power in depth.
And once this is the case, future steam locomotives, high-efficiency steam looms, and various steam-powered machinery will also emerge as the times require.
so……
Fang Jifan tried his best to squeeze out a smile: "Your Highness is really amazing, I admire you so much."
Although he hasn't made what he wants most, but this progress must be recognized. Encouragement makes people progress!
"Of course." Zhu Houzhao curled his lips and said, "I have always thought that I am great."
The essence of being a fan is to sing along, and Zhu Houzhao is not very modest, so it is easy to talk to death.
So... Fang Jifan had no choice but to remain silent, not knowing what to say.
"Your Highness, are you hungry?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately put all his unhappiness behind him, and said with great interest, "Yeah, how about a side stove?"
Fang Jifan said boldly: "Let's go."
After much deliberation, it's still really good.
…………
The Wealth of Nations theory has caused turbulent waves in the entire academic circle, and there are many controversies.
Not only in temples, this kind of controversy is endless, even in Xishan Academy, there are many people who are not convinced.
In fact... this is conceivable. Xishan Academy does not have a dedicated School of Economics, and even this thing is only a small branch of the school.
For example...a group of accountants trained...
All of a sudden, the Wealth of Nations theory began to systematically describe the current economic activities, followed by a huge wave of doubts.
After all, the space for papers to be published is already limited. The Theory of the Wealth of Nations occupies a full journal, and other papers have to be postponed.
What's more, the theory of the wealth of nations is difficult for many people to understand. Compared with medicine, engineering, mechanics, and arithmetic, is this thing important?
If it wasn't because Liu Wenshan was Zhu Sheng's uncle and master, there would have been a quarrel already.
Liu Wenshan also never expected that after his theory of the wealth of nations was published, it would not attract huge discussions, but multiple doubts.
At this moment...he hurried to see his mentor.
The relationship between disciples and mentors is not only the relationship between father and son, but also the relationship between teacher and student.
In the hearts of Liu Wenshan and others, although Fang Jifan was young, he not only imparted his own knowledge, but also taught them many truths from the precepts and deeds of his teacher.
The most important thing is that the mentor is almost both father and son and friends, no matter what troubles in life, everyone will inevitably ask the mentor for advice, such as...the recent uproar, such things, Liu Wenshan can't handle of.
But Liu Wenshan knew that his mentor handled such matters with ease.
This is also the most powerful part of a mentor, because of having a mentor, it is enough for the disciples to do what they want to do with peace of mind.
Just like Junior Brother Wang Shouren advocated his new learning, if Junior Brother Wang Boan proposed it himself, I am afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would have torn Junior Brother Wang apart, and the spread of new learning would not be so fast.
But because there is a mentor, the mentor is more upright, no one can stop him from doing anything, all the rumors are directed at the mentor, and the mentor holds his mace in hand, everyone loses his temper, even if Even if someone would say some sour words, they would never dare to say anything.
Those dissatisfied scholars are good at spiritual victory method, since they dare not jump out to object, they can only hide and say some sour words, what is wrong with brain disease and so on.
There is also Junior Brother Tang Yin, Junior Brother Tang Yin and Junior Brother Wang Bo'an are generally of the kind who are not good at dealing with people, and those who offend people are gone. Well, he was taught to be a man by reality, and he no longer has the temperament of a Jiangnan genius, and has become a mediocre member of the bureaucracy. Either way, he would be trampled to death, and he would never be reborn forever.
Among all the juniors, there is only one senior brother Ouyang, who is very good at both sides. Although he looks dull, everyone likes him for some reason.
Now Liu Wenshan also has such troubles.
He is a shameless person. Many people think that Uncle Liu published his The Wealth of Nations in full because of his mentor who passed on his disciples. This makes Liu Wenshan very unacceptable to such doubts.
So the timing was right, and at noon, when the sun was high, Liu Wenshan rushed to Zhen Guo Mansion.
He knew that it was time for the mentor to get up at this time, and he should drink tea at the Zhen Guo Mansion. Perhaps, the mentor had to think about it before lunch. This is the temperament of the mentor. He always likes to lie alone on the sofa in the Zhen Guo Mansion. The whole person sat there paralyzed, occasionally humming a ditty, scolding the people around him, more often, his eyes were closed, on the surface he was resting his mind, but Liu Wenshan knew, no, don't look at the teacher who usually sleeps well. Early and late, he looks like he has nothing to do all day long, but his mentor is actually a person with the world in mind, he must be thinking about some great event.
This is also what Liu Wenshan admires most about his mentor. His mentor is always light-hearted and has far-reaching plans.
Liu Wenshan went outside the Zhenguo Mansion, because he was a direct disciple, so there was no need to notify him. Liu Wenshan went in directly, and saw Fang Jifan bulging his eyes, and yelled at Wang Jinyuan: "It's like a dog, it can't even sell the house well, and the performance has only increased this month." Forty percent, what do you want?"
Wang Jinyuan was ashamed, with a look of shame on his face: "Originally...a group of wealthy people from Jiangnan had already chosen a time to come to see the house together, but who knew that a few days ago, the river surged and the schedule was delayed. It's only a little bit worse, otherwise the performance will have to rise to 60%..."
"I don't listen to your explanation, I just look at the account. It's useless to say what you don't have in the account. You, think about those poor people, think about those refugees who don't have enough food and clothes, If you sell a little more specifically, can you feed more poor people? Only by doing things with such a heart in mind to worry about the world's worries first, and to enjoy the world's joys later, can things be done well, that's all, you don't have People with feelings, I don’t want to talk to you anymore, get out!”
Wang Jinyuan couldn't help but mutter in his heart, the cost of manpower only accounts for 10% of the house, how could it be...
Well, he didn't dare to retort, so he nodded and bowed his head and said: "Young master, what you taught me, the villain really deserves to die, the young master is too great, in the future, the villain must learn a lot from the young master."
Fang Jifan raised his feet, picked up the teacup, and mourned silently for not being able to find his confidant in this world. In any era, there are only a few people with sentiments. I feel that life has no regrets. In my lifetime, Fang Jifan, I am afraid that I will never meet my Zhong Ziqi.
The master book standing by the side had a green face, and when he heard Fang Jifan's famous words that he should worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later, he couldn't help shivering, feeling...a chill in his heart.
Fang Jifan suddenly thought of something at this time. After taking a sip of tea, he said again: "What about the sponsorship fee for the nursery school? If you don't pay the sponsorship fee again, I will get angry and kick their children out of the elite class and go to ordinary schools. Ban, education is the foundation of the country, if you say it, the palace has paid 30,000 taels, don't make me turn my face and deny people."
Wang Jinyuan said in embarrassment: "The student loan from Xishan Bank has not been released yet. I think it may take some time."
"Ahem..." Wang Ao's heart skipped a beat. In fact, he had always wanted to ask about admission.
He is the son of old age, for this son, it can be said that he is very precious.
But Wang Ao has no worries, his child is still too young, but he is already old, he is afraid that one day he will not be able to hold on, and he kicks his legs and drives west, then... ...what about the child.
Now... It seems that many people are coveting the places in the elite class. Even in the ordinary class, some people are thinking that they should leave something for their children.
silver? Now that the price of silver is depreciating day by day, the things that can be bought for one hundred taels of silver the year before last may not even be worth eighty taels. So what about ten or a hundred years from now? The house... Wang Ao gritted his teeth and bought a house, but what's the use of a house?
He wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask, so he looked awkward standing aside.
Like everyone else, Wang Ao doesn't like Fang Jifan, but hopes that his children can enter the elite class.
I am the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, my son in the future, what can I achieve? These are all things that an old father must worry about.
After thinking about it, Wang Ao decided to thicken his skin, and said calmly: "Fang Duwei, cough cough... the old man has a son, who is only three years old now, and he is still young. Although he has not yet reached the age of entering school, but... This elite class..."
As soon as Fang Jifan heard it, he understood his thoughts and was happy: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I am the top school in the world, the teachers are strong, and the students who enter the school are all the best students. It is possible to enroll, but you can sponsor it now. If you sponsor now, the chances of enrolling in the future will be greatly improved. The nursery school has always had affection for friends who sponsor.”
"..." The corners of Wang Ao's mouth twitched, with a feeling of obsession... He was not fooled by Fang Jifan, and asked: "How many chances do you have to enroll?"
Fang Jifan sighed and said: "It's not certain, but the probability is very high. This education class not only needs sponsorship, but also needs to test the parents. It's not as simple as just money. You know, it's education." For big things, can money be used as a stepping stone? Hey...it can't be done."
