Teaching at the Imperial College
The next day, the old guys who had eaten Qin Mo's dishes yesterday returned the favor and sent carpenters to Qin Mo's place.
Old Cheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui both had one, and the sly old man had sent five. After all, this fellow's family owned an iron factory, and the imperial court bought iron from the sly old man.
The salt and iron monopoly system was implemented in the Han Dynasty.
In the early period of the Tang Dynasty, the country was strong and did not value the profits of salt and iron. The special tax on salt and iron was abolished and the closing tax was the same as other commodities. After the An Lushan Rebellion of Tang and Shi Lushan, the salt monopoly was implemented again due to financial difficulties.
Although the old man owned an iron factory, he had many carpenters.
In this way, there were a total of 13 carpenters.
Even if they worked for 12 hours a day, or even if they worked for four hours a day, they could still make three. 13 people could make 42, which was more than enough to complete Li Er's task.
As for whether these carpenters would be able to make their own chairs after learning how to make them, Qin Mo did not care. He had no intention of hiding it. If he wanted to make money, he had many ways. There was no need to rely on the small profits of the chairs.
Of course, other than sending carpenters, the old guys who had tasted Qin Mo's craftsmanship yesterday also sent cooks to learn Qin Mo's craftsmanship.
Qin Mo didn't keep it to himself and wrote the recipe to them.
However, that was an incomplete version. After all, he had used some modern seasonings. Without the key seasonings, he could not make Qin Mo's taste.
Li Er was the most shameless. Other than asking for the recipe, he also plundered Qin Mo's chili.
But in the afternoon, Li Er brought the chili back.
Of course, it wasn't because he was so kind. The taste of the imperial chef's food was far from Qin Mo's, so when he wanted to eat, he would come to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo didn't have to go to the directorate to study, so his days were very leisurely. However, it ended in less than two days.
She never expected Qin Mo to return to the directorate.
Of course, he was not going to school this time. Instead, he was going to the Imperial College to teach those Confucian scholars.
Punctuation had to be popularized, or else no one would recognize it. Li Er had finally gathered a group of people over the past few days, so he sent someone to invite Qin Mo to the Imperial College to give lectures to those great scholars. The main purpose was to teach them how to use punctuation.
Because of this, the directorate had a day off.
When Qin Mo arrived, he realized that the small classroom was filled with people. They were all old men.
Qin Mo estimated that these people should be the great scholars of the current era.
However, apart from Kong Yingda, Qin Mo did not know anyone else.
These people sat upright like students.
Li Er also arrived and sat on the chair that Qin Mo had asked the carpenters to hurry up and build.
As for Kong Yingda and the others, they were still sitting on stools. The main reason was that the chairs were too high and did not match the low tables, making it inconvenient to copy.
Li Er couldn't stand Qin Mo's sloppy appearance. He said to Qin Mo," Everyone here today is a great scholar. Are you serious?"”
Li Er held the cigarette between his two fingers and puffed out smoke.
Although Qin Mo didn't take out the ashtray, Li Er was self-taught and got a porcelain cup to hold the ashes.
If there was anything popular in Chang 'an these days, it would definitely be cigarettes.
It was all because Old Foolish Yuchi, Old Cunning, and the others were smoking in the corridor while eating. They said that a cigarette after a meal would make one happier than the gods.
Foolish Yuchi, cunning old fool, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui were the Four Heavenly Kings of the Great Tang. If they all agreed, the others would naturally believe them.
20%? Looking at Li Er, he knew that Old Foolish Yuchi and the others could at least act tough after the court session. When Li Er was in court, he blew out clouds and mist, looking like he was in ecstasy.
Moreover, Li Er occasionally gave a cigarette to an official who appreciated him. The official who was rewarded smoked one. He did not taste it at all, but it did not stop him from acting cool. He praised cigarettes as if they were in the sky and not on the ground.
He had never even smoked a cigarette, and he was too embarrassed to call himself one of the Great Tang's top nobles.
As a result, it was hard to get a cigarette in Chang 'an. The threshold of Qin Manor was almost broken. However, Qin Mo started the hunger marketing and said that there was no more.
Qin Mo also lit a cigarette and stood on the podium, puffing out smoke. There was a large piece of white paper pasted on his back, and on it was written a few punctuations.
As for why Li Er didn't ask Fang Xuanling and the others to explain the punctuations to these great scholars, it was because they had drunk too much that day and had completely forgotten what Qin Mo had taught them. The cunning old man had very insidiously pushed Qin Mo out.
Facing so many famous scholars, Qin Mo didn't have stage fright at all. He cleared his throat and said," Students, today I'll be explaining the usage of punctuations.”
Qin Mo's bad habit of being a good teacher was triggered. However, before he could finish his sentence, Li Er grabbed him and scolded him." This brat is rude. Everyone here is a famous scholar. How can a yellow-haired kid like you be a teacher?"”
However, before Qin Mo could say anything, an old man in his forties or fifties criticized Li Er." Your Majesty, you are wrong. Confucius said: If three people walk together, one of them must be my teacher. There is no order in learning, but those who are knowledgeable are the first. Lantian Bo can think of such a delicate way to break sentences, can be our teacher.”
"Yuan Lang is right."
This old man was asking which side of the Great Tang was better at talking? Please go to Suzhou to find Lu Deming and Lu Yuanlang from Yuanlang.
Hence, Li Er decisively cowered.
Then, Qin Mo started his lecture." This is a commas…"
Qin Mo's lecture was lively and interesting, and the content was detailed. The scholars who were old enough to be Qin Mo's grandfather listened very seriously. Sometimes, they showed expressions of sudden realization, sometimes they copied and wrote, and sometimes they raised their hands to ask questions.
Qin Mo's saliva flew everywhere as he taught the lesson on punctuations. The scholars listened with great interest.
Qin Mo felt a sense of accomplishment as he watched the scholars of the Tang Dynasty listen to the lecture seriously like primary school students.
It took him two hours to finish his lecture. Qin Mo's throat was almost smoking.
"Uncle Lan Tian, you're a learned man who can be a teacher for ten thousand years.”
Lu Yuanlang agreed.
Kong Yingda said," Punctuation is really a wild idea. We can't compare to it.”
The other Confucians nodded.
Qin Mo smiled and said," I don't dare to say. I'm untalented and inexperienced. I only came up with this idea in a flash of inspiration. I don't deserve your praise.”
Qin Mo was very polite and humble.
The great Confucians were even more satisfied. Where could they find such a talented and humble young man? Hence, they were even more generous with their exaggerations. They said things like being sensitive and studious, pillars of the imperial court, and so on.
However, Li Er, who knew Qin Mo's background, felt as if he had eaten a fly. This Shandong kid had told them to study hard and that they would catch up with him one day.
Listen, these words were so arrogant, but now he was pretending to be obedient and humble in front of these great scholars. Thus, Li Er felt uncomfortable.
Acting spirit.
If he knew this word, Li Er would definitely complain like this.
