Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 183 The teacher knows magic

Li Wei glanced at the booklet in his hand, which recorded exactly the pinyin he was speaking now.

"Ha, if you want to listen, just come in and listen. Anyway, there are more than 50 students in the class, and there is no shortage of you."

Li Wei sneered and said sarcastically.

Fang Xiaoru's face turned slightly red, but after thinking for a moment, she readily agreed: "You're welcome, Fang. Thank you, Teacher Li!"

After saying that, he actually entered the classroom, intending to listen to Li Wei's usage of pinyin.

Li Wei was stunned. I was mocking you. Didn't you hear it?
No matter what he thought, Fang Xiaoru walked to the back after entering the classroom. Of course, as a big man like him, he couldn't block the students in front.

Li Wei then returned to the classroom podium. Looking at Fang Xiaoru at the back of the classroom who looked like a scumbag who had been repeating grades for more than ten years, he felt it was an eyesore!
After rolling his eyes at him, Li Wei continued to speak.

Fang Xiaoru recorded carefully and had the best learning attitude in the class.

At noon, the two returned to the office one after another and sat down separately.

Fang Xiaoru sat down and started sorting out the pinyins he had recorded. Since he started paying attention to these pinyins halfway, he hasn't collected them all yet.

Li Wei looked at him twice, pondered for a moment, then wrote down all the pinyin, stood up and walked to him.

"Here, here are all the Pinyin letters, initial consonants 23, finals 24, take a look for yourself."

Li Wei handed him the pinyin list.

Fang Xiaoru raised his head, glanced at him in surprise, and then overjoyed, he quickly took the piece of paper and started reading.

I saw that the ghost symbols were divided into two sections, with the initials at the top and the finals at the bottom. There were words under each symbol to indicate the pronunciation. With this table, he could read the pinyin himself.

"Thank you, Master Li!"

Fang Xiaoru thanked him with surprise on his face.

"Ah."

Li Wei responded calmly, then turned around and returned to his seat.

He didn't intend to hide this thing. Since Fang Xiaoru wanted it, he would just give it to him.

The key is that he really doesn't want to see such an eyesore standing at the back of the classroom when he is in class.

After Fang Xiaoru got these pinyin, he started to try to spell it out based on Li Wei's fragmented fairy tales, and found that it was really useful. The pronunciation of all words could be combined with these pinyin!

Li Wei looked at his excited expression and curled his lips.After pondering for a while, he simply stopped beating around the bush and said directly:

"Teacher Fang."

"Ok?"

Fang Xiaoru looked up at him doubtfully.

"Look at our academy, the conditions are very simple, and the students are just some naughty kids from poor families, illiterate. It's really unqualified for you to teach here. I think you should go to the Imperial College. , or directly serve as an official, it is better than staying here!"

He was clearly trying to drive people away. Fang Xiaoru's face immediately darkened and he said expressionlessly: "No, Fang feels that his talent and learning are shallow. This academy is suitable for Fang's self-cultivation and study!"

Just kidding, he was greatly inspired by what Li Wei said a few days ago. His Majesty and the Crown Prince praised his article. Today, he got a treasure like Pinyin. He thinks there should be more from Li Wei. Li Wei hasn't revealed the good things, the technology, etc. yet, how could he leave now?

Li Wei was startled, and then persuaded him: "You'd better leave. You and I have very different teaching philosophies. We are in the same academy, so there will inevitably be many conflicts. Why do you do this?"

"Oh, don't leave!"

Fang Xiaoru sneered and said, although Li Wei's words have some truth, it is not the main thing. The main conflict between them is that Mr. Li is trying his best to drive him away, but he won't leave!
"You really don't want to leave?" Li Wei's tone also turned cold.

"Don't leave!" Fang Xiaoru said firmly.

"Okay, okay, you're not leaving, okay, you wait!"

Li Wei gritted his teeth and said, this is forcing him to use bigger moves, okay, just wait.

After saying that, Li Wei got up and left the office.

Fang Xiaoru glanced at him and shook his head disdainfully. Anyway, he was used to being angry these days. No matter how hard Mr. Li drove him away, he strengthened his belief and would never leave easily!

After Li Wei went out, he thought for a moment with an ugly face, and secretly cursed that Fang Xiaoru was really difficult to deal with!
"Okay, then I have no choice but to use ruthless tactics! If you don't leave this time, then I will obey you!"

Li Wei looked back at Fang Xiaoru in the room, murmured in a low voice, and then went to the classroom first.

It is lunch break time, and the children are full of energy and are playing in the classroom.

After Li Wei came in, he glanced around and saw a dirty figure, shouting: "That Zhang...Zhang Liuqi, come here!"

When Ma Liusi, who was having a good time, heard this, he stopped, turned his head to look at Li Wei, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Teacher, my name is Ma Liusi."

"Whatever, come here, the teacher wants to ask you something." Li Wei waved to him.

"Oh."

Ma Liusi left his classmates and walked over.

Li Wei pulled him out of the classroom, found him a small wooden basin, and whispered a few words to him.

After listening to this, Ma Liusi said with a timid look: "Teacher Li, this is not good, Teacher Fang will be angry."

Li Wei made a serious face: "What are you afraid of? Teacher Li is protecting you!"

Ma Liusi lowered his head, hesitant.

“I’ll add chicken drumsticks for you tomorrow!”

Li Wei saw that he was hesitant and said directly.

Ma Liusi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded repeatedly with joy: "Okay, okay, Teacher Li, don't worry, I will definitely take care of this!"

"Hmph! Brat, okay, let's go!"

Li Wei cursed with some displeasure.

Ma Liusi didn't care, he happily took the basin and went to do his work.

In the afternoon, when class was about to begin, after all the students had returned to the classroom, Ma Liusi took out the small wooden basin filled with water from under the table, then stumbled to the door, opened the door ajar, and then stepped on the handle of the stool. The wooden basin was put on.

Lu Xiu looked at his series of operations and was stunned!

"Ma Liusi, what are you doing!"

As the monitor of his class, Lu Xiu was very responsible and immediately reprimanded him.

"Shh!"

Ma Liusi quickly gesticulated with his fingers and whispered, "Teacher Li asked me to do this!"

Lu Xiu opened his eyes in disbelief: "Is this, really?"

"Of course!"

Ma Liusi put the basin away, moved the stool and went back.

Lu Xiu froze on the spot, momentarily in a dilemma.

Teacher Li has a good relationship with his father and treats him well, but Teacher Fang is also a very nice person, so what should I do?

When he was in a dilemma, Fang Xiaoru had already reached the door. Seeing the ajar door, he didn't think much, opened the door and walked in, and then:
"Whoa..."

"Bang...bang!"

First, a basin of cold water was poured down, making him tremble all over, and then the small wooden basin was hit on his head, which made him stunned.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Wei, who was in the classroom opposite, saw that his plot was successful. He pointed with his finger and looked at Fang Xiaoru who was dumbfounded and laughed.

The students in the room were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.

"Li Wei!!!"

Fang Xiaoru turned around fiercely and roared at Li Wei opposite him.He knew without thinking that Li Wei must have done this!

Li Wei's laughter subsided slightly and he said jokingly: "Teacher Fang, it's not raining yet, why are you wet?"

Fang Xiaoru raised her sleeves to wipe the water stains on her face, and angrily said with a livid face: "Li Wei, don't be proud. In order to seek truth, Fang will never flinch even if it means mountains of swords and seas of fire, let alone cold water, even if it's you. Even if you burn it with fire, Fang won’t leave!”

Li Wei stopped laughing, rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you want true knowledge, go somewhere else. Why do you have to stay here with me?"

Fang Xiaoru was immediately speechless. All the true knowledge he sought was from Li Wei. Of course he couldn't leave, but looking at Li Wei's shameful face at this time, he definitely couldn't say anything about seeking true knowledge from Li Wei.

"Humph!"

Fang Xiaoru snorted angrily, tossed his sleeves and walked away.

Although this small basin of water was not much, it still poured water all over his head and face. He had to go back to the office to tidy up.

Li Wei saw that he was determined not to leave, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he frowned.

He had exhausted all his tricks and had done a lot of damage today. He couldn't really drive her away violently. After all, Fang Xiaoru was brought by the prince.

In fact, the reason why he had to drive this guy away was not only because this guy would deceive people like Han Yike and others, but also because his ethics conflicted with his own science and education, and would become an obstacle to his teaching.The so-called king of heaven and earth, his master, and the gift of imperial power are all nonsense.

In his scientific concept, if he doesn’t even believe in God, how can he get the innate imperial power?

These things may not be obvious at first, but they will gradually become apparent as students develop their scientific concepts.

At that time, the conflict between ethics and science and education will become prominent.

Li Wei lowered his head and thought for a moment, but could not think of a good solution. He could only speed up the teaching progress and establish scientific concepts for the children as soon as possible.

"Lu Hong!"

Turning back to the classroom, Li Wei called Lu Hong over.

"teacher."

"Copy these on the blackboard and let the students spell them out on their own!"

"Ok."

Li Wei gave the fragmented fairy tale to Lu Hong and asked him to copy it on the blackboard, and then let the students copy and spell it themselves.

After such a long period of study, many of these students have mastered the use of Pinyin, and can barely read these children's books just by referring to Pinyin.

Now he wants to speed up the teaching process and doesn't have much time to teach them one by one, so they can only rely on themselves.

After thinking about it, Li Wei asked again: "You should also help your classmates and other classmates more, so that they can help each other more when they study."

Lu Hong nodded obediently and agreed, and Li Wei turned around and left the academy and went to the Arms Bureau.

His current job is still the Minister of Industry. Although he has been busy teaching students recently, he often goes to the Ordnance Bureau to take a look, especially the casting of cannons, which is a top priority.

But today he went to the Ordnance Bureau not for this, but to make some tools for popular science experiments.

Glass cups, paper cups, alcohol lamps, cotton gloves, bamboo dragonflies...

The craftsman made a bunch of small things according to his requirements. Although these things looked simple, there were many scientific principles in them.

The next day, Li Wei took these small things with him and returned to the academy, where he asked the craftsmen to build a simple platform in the yard.

Fang Xiaoru looked at his actions and stepped forward curiously, asking, "What are you going to do?"

Li Wei glanced at him and said angrily: "Open a new class."

Fang Xiaoru's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it teaching technology?"

He has not forgotten the technology Li Wei mentioned. In Li Wei's words, this is something that can improve the so-called productivity.

"Yes." Li Wei said calmly: "In this case, you go and recruit the students from your class. I will give this lesson to both classes."

"Okay, okay." Fang Xiaoru agreed excitedly, and then went to organize students to attend the class together.

The courtyard of the academy is full of students as it was when the school first started. After such a long period of study, these children have become much more obedient and are not as noisy as they were when they first arrived.

Under the leadership of the two monitors, Lu Xiu and Lu Hong, the students in the two classes moved the benches and sat according to their seats in the classroom.

Li Wei slowly climbed onto the stage, stood in front of the table on the stage, and said loudly: "Students, I am here to teach you a new course, that is, science!"

The students opened their eyes curiously when they heard this word. Fang Xiaoru was also very curious. This was a course he had never had before. He only roughly knew that it was a practical subject, but according to Li Wei, the usefulness of this practical subject But it is very big, incomparable to the previous knowledge.

"What is science?" Li Wei opened his mouth to express the questions in their minds, and then asked and answered himself: "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the weather is warm in winter and cool in summer, God will thunder and rain, fire is hot, and ice cubes It's cold, everyone knows this, but have you ever thought about why?"

"Isn't this what it should be? That's how it is!"

One student raised his hand and others echoed.

Under the stage, Fang Xiaoru frowned thoughtfully when he heard Li Wei's words.

They see these events every day and naturally become accustomed to them. They take them for granted and think that everything in the world should be like this.

But Li Wei asked why at this time?
Even he, a knowledgeable and talented man, didn't know how to answer for a moment. Maybe some great truth between heaven and earth is controlling everything, but this is obviously not something that mortals can know.

Li Wei listened to the discussion below, chuckled, then raised his hand to press it down, and opened his mouth to attract the students' eyes again.

"Okay, since everyone thinks this is what it should be, I will do a little experiment for you to see if this is what it should be."

As Li Wei spoke, he stopped talking nonsense and first took out the alcohol lamp. Everyone looked at the transparent glass bottle and were very surprised. Not to mention them, Fang Xiaoru had not seen such a pure and transparent thing. Pass.

Li Wei has not yet sold the glass produced in the pottery kiln factory. He is currently stocking it, hoping to wait for the time to sell it together with other goods.

Next, Li Wei took out the fire stick and lit the alcohol lamp, and everyone screamed in surprise.

In their eyes, this transparent crystal bottle contained just some water. They really didn't understand why such a bottle could keep burning like an oil lamp.

"Don't be surprised, it's not water, but alcohol, which is high-concentration wine!"

Li Wei explained softly.

The students were confused and didn't quite understand this.

Fang Xiaoru showed a look of surprise and murmured: "I see."

He still knows that stronger liquor can burn. For example, there is a very strong liquor called shochu, and the liquors sold by Li Wei's Minghuang Chamber of Commerce are also high-strength liquors. Although they are high-end luxury goods, they are also It's not a strange thing.

Li Wei saw that the students didn't seem to understand very well, so he didn't explain anymore. The main purpose of what he was doing now was to arouse the students' interest. As for the principles, he could teach them slowly later.

Li Wei lit the alcohol lamp and put it aside. He took out the cotton gloves he had prepared before, soaked them in a small basin, squeezed out the water and put them on his hands. Then he took out a bottle of alcohol with a temperature of about [-] to [-] degrees. Alcohol, dipped his fingers in it.

"Everyone looks good!"

When everything was ready, Li Wei said loudly.

Immediately, I saw his fingers gently brushing against the alcohol lamp, and then I saw his fingers igniting flames with a breath.

Fang Xiaoru was shocked when he saw it: "Master Li, be careful!"

"Teacher Li……"

The students also stood up with cheers.

Li Wei raised his other blank hand and stopped Fang Xiaoru who wanted to come up to help him put out the fire.

Fang Xiaoru looked at him and saw that his face was relaxed and indifferent at this time. It seemed that his hands were not burned. He suddenly looked at his burning hand in surprise.

Li Wei let the flames on his hands burn and said relaxedly: "Look, my hands are burning with flames now, but I don't feel hot. Why is that?"

"I know, the teacher knows magic!"

Zhang Tie raised his hand in a naive voice and said with excitement.

The other students were overjoyed after hearing this, jumping up and down excitedly and shouting:
"Great, the teacher is going to teach us spells!"

"I have long heard my father say that Teacher Li can do magic. He has seen it before. My father really didn't lie to me!"

"We're going to learn spells, that's great..."

Lu Hong, Lu Xiu, Zheng Zhihua and other stable children couldn't help but show excitement. Li Wei's skill was so magical. Thinking of the deeds of Teacher Li that his father once told them, they felt that the magic should be real!

Tao Sheng, who usually has a dull personality, turned red with excitement when he saw the flame burning in Teacher Li's hand.

These children suddenly lost their father and were killed. It is impossible to say that they have no resentment in their hearts. It’s just that they are young and have no ability. It is difficult for them to even protect themselves, let alone Something about revenge.

Now, Teacher Li is going to teach them magic. After they learn it, those high officials will be nothing!
Li Wei looked at their excited faces, his face changed slightly, and he glared at Zhang Tie with an unhappy look.

"This is not a magic. There is a reason why Teacher can do this. If everyone understands why, then everyone can do these things like me!"

Li Wei said loudly.

Fang Xiaoru looked at his burning hand solemnly, thinking hard about the "why" that Li Wei repeatedly mentioned, but he could never figure out how to do it.

In order to show the authenticity of the flame, Li Wei then took a piece of paper and lit it with the flame on his finger. The paper was reduced to ashes in the flame in a moment, while Li Wei's palm was still slowly burning in the flame. Burning.

After a while, Li Wei felt a little hot. He immediately made a fist and quickly rubbed out the flames with his hands. Then he took off his gloves and raised his hand and gloves to show the students.

The students opened their eyes wide and saw that Teacher Li's hand, which had been burning for a long time, was still intact, and even the gloves showed no trace of being burned by the fire. They all clapped their hands in surprise.

"Do you want to know how the teacher did it?"

Li Wei follows the path of good guidance.

"miss you!"

The students shouted in unison excitedly, and even Fang Xiaoru looked expectantly, waiting for him to explain.

Li Wei chuckled lightly and explained loudly: "This is because the teacher first dipped his gloves in water, and then dipped them in alcohol. What burned just now was actually the alcohol on the gloves, and the teacher's hands and gloves, because of the water, Because it takes a while to get hot, it won’t be burned or burned, do you understand?”

After Li Wei finished speaking, most of the students scratched their heads and didn't understand anything, while the smarter ones simply ignored the truth and focused on remembering the practices Li Wei said.

Only a few people looked thoughtful.

Fang Xiaoru frowned deeply after hearing his explanation. After thinking for a moment, she seemed to understand, but she didn't quite understand.

　It’s almost [-] words, please give me a monthly ticket
