Chapter 12 Background Knowledge

Opening a silver furnace is a tacit understanding between the Zhang family and Wang Yi. Wang Yi tried his best to make suggestions for the Tai'an Grain and Oil Factory, and the Zhang family also supported Wang Yi to open a silver furnace in Yingkou. Once Tai'an starts production, its customers will inevitably be widely used in the world, in the inner and southern coasts, Hong Kong, Nanyang, Japan, and may even be sold to Europe and the United States. Then the currency problem will be in front of everyone. Because the number of copper coins is limited, silver will inevitably be used as a medium. Because the quality of silver is different, the value will be different. Therefore, when the buyer and seller hold different silver transactions, it will be very troublesome.

Tai'an will also encounter the same problem, and the amount must be huge. Instead of giving the difference in this part of the procedures to other silver furnaces to make money, it is better to hand it over to the silver furnace opened by Wang Yi to manage it. Moreover, Zhang Quanbao had a vague premonition that Wang Yi's silver furnace might not be that simple.

Zhang Jingxiao had returned to the team at this time, and Wang Yi stood in front of everyone, his face as deep as water!

"Start count!" Zhang Jingxiao, who was standing at the front, shouted loudly. "One!"

"two!"

"three!"

...

“One Hundred and Twenty!”

“One Hundred and Twenty One!”

Zhang Jingxiao ran to Wang Yi at this time, greeted a military salute from later generations, and whispered loudly: "Report to the brigade leader, all the brigade members are 121, but in fact, 121 people are reached. After the report is completed, please instruct me!"

"Return to the team!"

"yes!"

"Everyone is relieved and stand at attention!" Wang Yi glanced at everyone present, and then whispered: "Hello, comrades!"

"Hello, Chief!"

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades!"

“Serve the people!”

Wang Yi was very happy, and we were also satisfied with this era. Looking at the military appearance in front of him, he finally had a little meaning in the future. Being able to do this would cost the little master a lot of effort. Wang Yi had the capital to be proud of and trained farmers who were not divided into the right and left to become soldiers who were forbidden. This was not something that could be achieved overnight.

These 20 people were a gathering of the 60 literate teenagers and 60 insurance team members selected by the Zhang family for Wang Yi. Because the classroom has not been built yet and the textbooks have not been printed, the class cannot be started for the time being. So Wang Yi remembered the military training of college entrance examinations in later generations, and by the way, let these 20 people understand what rules are! Of course, more importantly, let them know who Wang is!

Wang Yizhijun was very strict and was basically serious. Everyone present was older than him, and some were even twenty-five years old, but they were very obedient in front of Wang Yi. Of course, at first, there were also disobedient people who first closed the small dark room and then were not allowed to sleep. After a few days, everyone became honest. While strictly managing, the team members were treated very well. In this era, they would not have to worry about food and drink, which would be the benefit of the boss. If you give some pocket money, plus the rewards after hard study and training, even raising two people would not be a problem. This is also the main reason why Wang Yi's subordinates did not escape.

In addition to Zhang Jingxiao, 120 people were divided into four classes, among which the literate boys were Wenyi and Wen2, and the insurance team members were divided into Wuyi and Wu2. Both Wenyi and Wu2. Both Wenyi and Wushu got up at 5:30 in the morning, and the wind and rain were not delayed. After half an hour, they started to gather for a lap and then disbanded. Before eight o'clock, time was freely allocated. From eight o'clock to twelve noon, the Wenyi class was in English and German, and the Wushu class was led by Wang Yi to conduct military training. After an hour of lunch break, he gathered for a lap at 1:00 in the afternoon, and then conducted queue practice. Starting at two o'clock in the morning, the Wenyi class took math class together until five o'clock in the evening. From six o'clock, it was time for Wang Yi to tell stories, and at the same time carried out education on remembering bitterness and sweetness. From seven o'clock, the Wushu class learned to learn literacy, while the Wenyi class learned physics and chemistry.

One of the things that needs to be mentioned by the way is the hour when Wang Yi told the story. Zhang Jingxiao once asked why the gentleman made such arrangements.

Wang Yiyixiao and did a very simple experiment for him. He took out a piece of paper and wrote down 12, 13, 14 vertically.

"Read it once!"

"Twelve, thirteen, fourteen!" Because he followed Wang Yi to take a mathematics class, Zhang Jingxiao naturally knew these three Arabic numerals.

Wang Yi folded a horizontal line between 12 and 13, and then folded a horizontal line between 13 and 14, so that 12 and 14 were hidden on the back.

"Respect and look forward to it, this is the moment when a miracle happens!"

Wang Yi wrote a on the left side of Twelve and c on the right side, so—it became a, 13, c.

"Read it again now!"

"abc." Zhang Jingxiao was shocked and hurriedly said, "Sir, how did it become like this?"

"Haha, it's very simple! This is a different background knowledge. Let me ask you, what would he pronounce if your father was invited?"

"My father has never studied English, so he can only read 13."

"What if someone who only knows English letters but doesn't have Arabic numerals?"

“That would be read as b.”

"What if it's someone who knows neither English nor Arabic numerals?... I guess I'll just think I've made a bunch of ghost-drawing talismans!"

"What sir said!"

"Background knowledge is very important to a person. Our view of things and the way we deal with problems are all decisive and decisive! On the one hand, they come from our personal feelings, which is often referred to as experience. This is easy to understand!"

Zhang Jingxiao nodded.

Wang Yi continued to say at this time, but he emphasized his tone: "But the more important way to obtain it comes from books."

"I see!"

"It's a pity that I don't have any extracurricular reading materials for you to read, so I can only try to enrich everyone's background knowledge by telling stories."

"Sir, foresight!" Zhang Jingxiao said this from the bottom of his heart.

"The importance of background knowledge is actually not only that. Respect and filial piety, you know, we are different from foreigners, so what is the difference? Yes, our appearance characteristics are different, but do you think if a foreigner is placed in your octagonal platform to raise him from the birth of your octagonal platform... excluding the discrimination that may be caused by different physical appearance, do you think he is a Qing person who is full of words in the end? Or is a foreign foreigner who is right?"

"It is probably because we Qing people are more likely!...Sir, I understand that this is what Jiang Tong said in "Theory of Moving Rong". If it is not my race, his heart will be different. Rong Di's ambitions are not the same as Hua."

"Oh..." Now that King Yi couldn't speak, he knew that the first half of the sentence was from "Turning Left". As for Jiang Tong's "Theory of Migration and Rong", he had never heard of it. However, he hurriedly concealed: "Respect and filial piety. Although foreigners are different from us, there is no need to meet and fight to the death. If you can seek common ground while reserving differences, you can naturally interact. But if you don't like each other, you will never interact with each other. But if you violate our interests..." Wang Yi's eyes showed a cold light at this time. If you kill too many people, your aura will naturally be extraordinary. "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

Zhang Jingxiao nodded.

Wang Yi suddenly blew up and continued, "Of course, there is no need to use a knife and a gun to get the benefits that can be obtained on the negotiating table. After all, everyone has only one life. If necessary, it is enough for the army to go out to show off."

Perhaps Zhang Jingxiao told his father about the content of this conversation, so that every day after dinner, Zhang Quanbao would bring his juniors to listen to Wang Yi’s story. It is estimated that there were too few entertainment projects in this era, and Wang Yi’s mouth was really at the level of spitting lotus flowers. The people in the ten miles and eight villages near Bajiaotai knew that Wang Yi had such a powerful novelist.

After that, the nearby villagers would come to take seats every day. Of course, they dare not take up the positions of the team members. However, the good places are limited, and even Wang Yi felt a little helpless about the disputes caused by this.

However, there was also an unexpected effect, which was that many people came to ask, could Wang Yi recruit people? Now the 120 people under his command were found by the Zhang family, and now, if Wang Yi was willing, he could handle these things by himself.

Two days later, Wang Yi was about to take Zhang Jingxiao and his more than ten literate teenagers to Yingkou to prepare for the application examinations for various positions in Yinlu, but unexpectedly, a servant from the Zhang family came to him and said that Zhang Quanbao had important matters to discuss.

Wang Yi felt strange and rushed to the octagonal platform immediately.

After arriving at the Zhang family, Zhang Quanbao immediately pulled him into the study room, but unexpectedly there was another person sitting in the room.

He is in his early forties, with long beards and a low figure. He looks at it and is a typical Qing Dynasty dress. His skin is dark and his face is slightly wrinkled, but his eyes are shining and restrained, and his mouth is smiling, making people feel like spring breeze, and there is no gap at all.

Zhang Quanbao introduced at this time: "This is Qin Ming and Qin Wanfeng, who is responsible for managing my business in Shanxi."

"Wan Feng, this is Wang Yi, Brother Wang, whom I mentioned to you in my letter!"

Qin Wanfeng did not think that Wang Anji was too young and looked down on him. Instead, he clasped his fists politely and said, "Brother Wang, I have heard of the famous name for a long time, and I am well-known. Brother Qin, I am right here."

Wang Yi quickly returned the gift and said he didn't dare.

Later, Zhang Jingxiao also came up to greet his uncle, and Qin Wanfeng praised Zhang Jingxiao again.

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Jingxiao stood behind Wang Yi and held the etiquette of his disciples. Originally, Wang Yi didn't have so many rules, but Zhang Jingxiao was a very stubborn person and refused to listen to all persuasions. Later, Wang Yi had to let it go.

Qin Wanfeng took a sip of tea first, then looked at Wang Yi with a smile and said, "Brother Wang, how did you expect a severe drought in Shanxi?"

"It was my father's death sentence, but I wasn't sure at first, but later I just asked Brother Zhang what he meant, and he said he should go and check it."

"Let the selves study the gods! What a pity..."

Zhang Quanbao was shocked at this time and said, "Wanfeng, is it really a severe drought?"
