Ren Baqian looked at the people below him. They seemed to be much better than yesterday, and their attitudes were also much more respectful.
"Today we'll talk about physics." Ren Baqian said to everyone. Logically speaking, he should talk about the written language first, but he still felt that he should arouse everyone's interest first.
After all, this wasn't Earth, and the aboriginals didn't have the habit of studying. He had to let them maintain a certain level of interest in learning.
Everyone below looked at him attentively. It seemed that the words he said yesterday had some effect.
"For the first lesson, let's talk about the motion of objects." Ren Baqian picked up a stone and placed it on the podium. "Is this stone stationary or moving?"
"It's still," someone answered immediately.
Ren Baqian nodded, picked up the stone, and let it fall to the ground with a soft sound.
"Was the rock still or moving?"
"We're falling."
"Answer whether it's stationary or moving!" Ren Baqian emphasized.
"Sports."
"Can a rock move?" Ren Baqian asked.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this question. Could the stone move?
Ren Baqian picked up the stone and moved it up and down with his hand. "Is the stone still or moving now?"
"What's still is your hand."
"In that case …" Ren Baqian loosened his grip again and let the stone fall to the ground. "Is it stationary or moving?"
"Teacher, the rock is falling down. The rock itself can't move, but it will move when it falls down." Tong Lan was the first to react.
"You're half right."
"You are sitting on a carriage, or on the back of a horse. The horse is moving forward, and everything around it is moving backward. Who is moving?"
"You said the mount is moving? But you didn't move, but your mount and your position didn't change. Instead, everything around you is moving backwards … "
"What I want to tell you is that stillness and movement are relative. This stone is in my hand, and relative to my hand, it is still. But compared to this classroom or all of you, this stone is moving … "
"You fell from the sky. You didn't move, but everything around you was moving …"
"Mechanical motion is the most common motion in the universe. Everything in nature moves, but it depends on what the reference is …"
…
"Humans are born with a good nature. Their natures are alike, but their habits differ. If one does not teach, one's nature will change. In the way of teaching, the most important thing is to be focused. In the past, Mencius's mother chose a neighbor. If you don't learn, you'll break the rules … "Ren Baqian used a piece of chalk to write Chinese characters on the blackboard. He wrote down the first five paragraphs of the Three Character Classic, a total of 60 characters. Then, he wrote the corresponding words of this world below each character.
"You have to write it all down and memorize it. Humans are just like that … "
"Idiot, the character for 'zhi' is a dot, a horizontal fold, and a restrain. What is that thing of yours?"
"Who is Mother Meng? Let me tell you a story called Mencius's mother moved three times … "
"For today's homework, you must write these thirty words ten times and hand them in tomorrow. Bring your own paper and pen. If you don't have it, just ask me … "
…
"Answer me again. What's 6 plus 3? If you dare to say 11, I will kill you right now … "Ren Baqian roared with a ferocious look on his face. His hand was already touching the Type 81 rifle.
A tall and sturdy young man looked around blankly, then his eyes lit up. "6 + 3 is 8."
Bang!
…
"Remember how to write each number, from 1 to 10. Today's math homework: 2 + 7 +? 4 + 9 =? … "
…
When Ren Baqian was in school, he had thought of volunteering as a teacher after graduation to leave a memory for his life. However, he became addicted to Bilibili and threw this idea to the back of his mind.
He didn't expect that he would become a new generation of assisting teachers in remote areas. This could be considered as fulfilling his original dream of volunteering as a teacher.
Seeing that everyone had left the school, Ren Baqian clutched his chest and felt that he was going to have a heart attack from anger.
He remembered the news that he had seen in the past. Parents who accompanied their children to do homework were so angry that they suffered heart attacks and cerebral hemorrhages. What are you guys? I'm a total of 49 idiots.
"Sigh, let's take it slow …" Ren Baqian finally sighed, got the guards to tidy up the classroom, closed the school doors, and returned to the palace.
"How was it?" The empress asked Ren Baqian with a smile. Ren Baqian hadn't returned to the palace yet, but the empress already knew about his rant at the school.
"They are a little stupid, but they can still be saved," Ren Baqian said after thinking for a while. Although he was infuriated by those idiots just now, he knew that learning wasn't something that could be done in a day or two.
The scene of his old teacher pointing at him and saying that he was a good-for-nothing was still vivid in his mind. He didn't want to easily deny the future of these people.
The role of a gardener was to water the flowers so that the flowers could grow, bud, and finally bloom.
The empress nodded. It was good that Ren Baqian could say this.
After lunch, Ren Baqian met a few people at Pingle Park. They were the shopkeepers of the two caravans in the palace.
"I have seen what you have done over the years, and I can't say that it's good. Look at your list. This kind of sour wine actually costs 10 taels of silver for a jar? 30 taels of silver for a bolt of silk? Also, the final price of the things that you sell are far lower than the market price. If not for the fact that you have always been relatively honest, I would have suspected that you are secretly helping outsiders. "
Ren Baqian patted the paper on the table and said.
"Sir Ren, it's not that we want to do this. It's just that they are buying our goods at low prices. If we don't sell them at low prices, we simply can't sell them. Also, we know that the prices of these goods are expensive, but we really have no choice. "
Upon hearing Ren Baqian's words, the expressions of the two shopkeepers immediately turned ugly. They looked as if they had been wronged.
"If you really have any problems, you should know Her Majesty's temperament. As for me, you will know in the future.
I will be in charge of this aspect in the future, and you have to report to me. I am different from Her Majesty. Her Majesty has too many things to worry about every day, and she can't be bothered with these things. I am not that easy to talk to. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded. If you don't do a good job, you will be punished.
I hope that all of you will do your part. Naturally, I will not treat you unfairly. Otherwise, think about the consequences. "
He didn't know whether these two shopkeepers were secretly helping outsiders. In any case, no matter how he looked at the list, there was something wrong. No matter what, he had to give them a warning first.
"The goods this year are different from the previous years. This year, we have these two things …" Ren Baqian opened a box beside his feet, took out a goblet and a classical cup, and placed them on the table. Following which, he took out two mirrors.
"Both of you, take a look. How much can these things be sold for?"
"These are cups? They are so clear and transparent. I wonder what material is used to make them. I think they can be sold for at least 500 taels of silver each. "
"These mirrors are also different from copper mirrors. They are actually so clear. They will be sold for at least 1,000 taels of silver each."
The two shopkeepers took a careful look at the cups one after another. Their faces revealed an astonished expression. The cups were completely transparent, and even the fine hairs on their faces could be seen clearly in the mirror.
Ren Baqian looked at the two of them carefully and asked, "Don't tell me you are spies sent by other countries?"
"Sir!" The two of them were shocked.
"These cups are sold for at least 5,000 taels of silver each. They are completely carved out of clear and transparent gemstones. You are telling me that these craftsmanship and materials are worth 500 taels of silver each?"
"And this mirror, it is so clear and bright that it can reflect the scene perfectly. It will be sold for at least 30,000 taels of silver."
One had to know that when Venice first produced mercury mirrors, they were still covered with tinfoil. At that time, they already cost 150,000 French francs. Not to mention, these mirrors with more perfect craftsmanship were worth 30,000 taels of silver.
If not for the high production rate and the fact that glass would appear in many places in Dayao in a few years, he would have wanted to sell them as soon as possible to make a fortune. He even wanted to raise the price a little.
"Sir, no one will accept this price," the two shopkeepers whispered.
"Are you fools?" Ren Baqian almost poked their heads with his finger.
"There are many brothels in those two countries, right? Find the best brothel and give them a sum of money. Let their most popular courtesan hold two cups and auction them on the spot. The highest bidder wins …
Let me tell you, brothels are the places with the most childes. They are also the places that can fetch the highest price.
Sell a pair of cups in one place and then sell them in another city.
The brothels are easy to deal with. Give them 1,000 taels of silver and all the money will go to us. Otherwise, we can split the profits with them. If not, give them 500 taels of silver. During the auction, the starting price will be 5,000 taels of silver. We will give them the extra money. Do you think they will agree? "
Or you can find an influential childe and give him a pair of cups. The request is nothing else but for him to introduce this item to others. When the time comes, you will give him a commission. For each cup that he sells, you will give him another 500 taels of silver.
Once you have made a name for yourself, there will naturally be people who will take the initiative to buy it from you.
As for this mirror, you have to remember this saying: Love lasts forever, and the silver mirror will last forever.
This mirror is the best token of love to give to your sweetheart.
As for those who have been married before, what else in this world is more precious than a mirror that can reflect your own appearance?
Men's mouths are all fake. Only this mirror will not lie to you.
… "
Ren Baqian gave the two of them a sales lesson for four hours in a row, and both of them were dumbfounded after listening to him.
