A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Several businessmen were waiting anxiously outside the house.

"Is that bed really so good?"

"Of course. The craftsman's brother works in someone's house, how can he dare to cheat?"

"Someone even went in and took a look. It's really amazing."

"Wait for the edict to come."

The businessmen stood up straight and greeted him with a smile.

Shen An cupped his hands with a smile and said: "It's an honor for you all to come here, all the wise men. Come... come, serve tea, serve good tea."

When Wang Yu heard this, he knew that Shen An was going to kill the pig. He said with a straight face: "That bed is the secret of the academy... The court said no secrets are allowed to be leaked."

"But did Chao Zhong give you money?"

Shen An said angrily: "In order to research that bed, we spent a lot of money, food and manpower, and the court wants to take it without spending a penny? No way!"

Wang Yu sneered: "But what can you do?"

"I smashed it and didn't give it to you!"

Shen An was so angry that he was hysterical, and it was clear that he wanted to throw out the teacup in his hand.

Several businessmen couldn't help but avoid it, thinking that the bed yesterday seemed to have been given to the workshop by the prince for nothing.

If you don’t give money and get it for nothing, and Shen An has left Taixue to start his own business, this is really unreasonable!

The court is shameless!

Several businessmen secretly made a definition in their minds, and then a question emerged in their minds.

"Waiting for an edict...if the imperial court takes that bed and imitates it..."

If Chao Zhong takes away this business, will everyone go to Chao Zhong to buy beds, or will they come to you?

Some people think this possibility is unlikely, "The DPRK and China will still want to lose face, right?"

The businessman sneered: "The court is short of money!"

Prime ministers who are short of money have no moral integrity.

Everyone looked at Shen An, wanting to see what he could do to solve the problem.

The prime minister was so poor that he was so poor that even the official family had no money to buy makeup for the queen.

In such an environment, who can guarantee the integrity of the prime minister and the official family.

"Don't worry about this." Shen An said firmly: "This is a private thing. The officials will not touch it, and the Prime Minister will not touch it. Also, these are the research results of miscellaneous studies, and hundreds of teachers and students in the academy will not touch them. They will sit back and watch, if anyone dares to touch their jobs...whoever touches them will eat at his house."

This is a hooligan!

As long as you dare to touch the miscellaneous things, whoever touched them will eat them at his house.

This is a ruthless tactic, but it reassures the businessmen.

"It's not easy to run a school after the imperial edict!"

Several businessmen looked at each other in despair, feeling reassured.

This miscellaneous school and Mangshan Academy are all built by Shen An. According to their estimates, the daily expenses can make people's hearts tremble. Now that they have finally found a bed and can make money, whoever dares to compete with him, That's how irreconcilable it is!

The businessmen felt at ease, and someone asked: "Daizhao, how much does this bed cost?"

They hoped to hear a price that would make them tempted, but Shen An said, "We'll talk after you see it."

Everyone went to the back together, and then Yang Yan personally demonstrated to them the power of the soil machine tool.

Chip cutting, drilling, grinding...

The businessmen were drooling, wishing they could pack up the machine tools in front of them and take them back together with Yang Yan.

"I won't go into details about how important precision is." Shen An said reservedly: "But what about efficiency? How many craftsmen can be made with such a bed? How much food does one craftsman consume..."

The businessmen were excited, some were muttering, and some were making calculations.

"How much does it cost to hire an old craftsman?" Shen An was coaxing, "It costs a lot, right? But one bed like this can be used by several old craftsmen, and it's fast... How much is such a bed worth? Five hundred guan Not much, right?"

The merchants habitually said: "Tai Zhao, the price is too expensive... three hundred guan."

"With three hundred guan, can you hire ten old craftsmen to work for decades?"

The merchants made a calculation in their minds, and someone immediately shouted: "Waiting for the imperial edict, I want all the beds here!"

"What? Why do you want them all?"

"You dare to try them all? I can't kill you!"

A group of businessmen started arguing among themselves. The students nearby had never experienced anything like this and were a little at a loss.

"Anyone who wants it should hurry up."

Shen An added fuel to the flames, and the last few businessmen snatched up all the beds, even those who were showing off.

Looking at the empty laboratory, Yang Yan felt like it was a dream.

"They're all sold?"

He looked at the empty laboratory and suddenly his mood collapsed.

"At first, Taizhao gave me a lot of things...I bought whatever I needed, and I calculated the money...but later I became numb after too much. I became more and more uneasy, worried that I would let Taizhao down..."

"Call the mountain chief!"

Shen An knew that Yang Yan and the others were under a lot of pressure, but they wouldn't be successful without the pressure, so he just watched in silence.

"Shan Chief, I don't know how much food the students have spent, but this bed is made of gold and silver. At that time, the students were afraid in their dreams, for fear that one day you would suddenly tell the students that there was no money, or that the bed was not worth it. , students are really afraid..."

Yang Yan's eyes flashed with tears. He was really relieved, as if he had been liberated.

When a person devotes a lot of effort to a certain project, the most fearful thing is that the superior will terminate the project and it will collapse.

"What are you worried about?" Shen An said: "Since I asked you to do it, I will naturally watch from the side. If I don't speak, it's not dissatisfaction. I just want you to have your own independent thinking ability, not You have to rely on someone for everything...that way you won't grow up, do you understand?"

"Is that so?" Yang Yan said excitedly: "The students were so worried all day long that they thought you were dissatisfied."

"But Chief Shan... we wasted a lot of money."

The students lowered their heads, feeling that the detours they had taken now seemed foolish and that they had wasted a lot of material.

Those materials are all money!

"You can still make money if you don't have money, but you are the first batch of students in miscellaneous studies. If you are not talented, then what's the use of making a million dollars?"

Shen An patted Yang Yan on the shoulder and encouraged: "The road to machine tools is of great importance. It can be said to be related to the fate of the country. Don't think too much and study hard. A hundred years later, your name will be written in the history books. !”

"Isn't this possible?" Yang Yan never thought that one day he would be treated like a celebrity.

"We'll see."

The so-called industrial revolution must first be an explosion of productivity.

The productivity explosion mainly involves various machine tools. Of course, power is also an important factor.

As long as the research continues, sooner or later, machine tools will occupy Da Song's workshops. Many craftsmen will throw away their hammers, pick up wrenches and measuring tools, and stand in front of machine tools...

Thinking of that scene, Shen An felt tipsy without drinking.

…

The opening of Mangshan Academy was a small challenge for Taixue, but neither Guo Qian nor Chen Ben believed that this challenge could be successful or even a threat.

"Mangshan Academy has an inherent weakness, that is, everything is supported by Shen An's financial resources. How long can he support it?"

Guo Qian lamented: "He is rich, but you and I both know how much hundreds of students cost. He can last for ten or twenty years, but what about the future?"

"A businessman went to Mangshan Academy." Chen Ben knew what Guo Qian was thinking. He probably didn't want to lose to Mangshan Academy or Shen An.

"I know, it's because of that bed." Guo Qian, an official, was quite frustrated in his job. With his achievements in Taixue, the first thing others thought of was Shen An and his ability to question the sea.

He said with some pride: "When I was in Taixue, the old man who made the bed also went to see it. It was terrible! He made a bunch of messy things and sold them for scrap every now and then... When the merchants went there, it was the king's words that worked, right? Even if you can sell it for money, how much money can you make?"

"It won't last long!" Guo Qian stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm just waiting for Shen An to return to the Imperial Academy. Don't fight when the time comes. I'll let him do the wine offering, so everyone can settle down and everyone will be happy. !”

Chen Ben smiled and said: "I think so too. If Shen An comes back, I will help him. I think it will be more enjoyable."

Guo Qian pondered for a moment and said, "How about I invite him to drink?"

This is to save the relationship between the two parties.

"This is good." After leaving Shen An, Chen Ben felt that Taixue had lost its vitality.

The two smiled at each other, knowing what the other was thinking.

"Sacrifice wine..."

"What's the matter?"

"There are many businessmen coming outside!"

What rice?

Upon hearing this, Guo Qian said happily: "Could it be that you are here to donate? Let's take a look."

To have money, you must also have virtue, and Shen An takes the lead.

After he became prosperous, the direction of his donations expanded from the elderly, disabled and orphans to aiding students. He can be called the number one philanthropist in Bianliang.

With him taking the lead, the businessmen also contributed more or less money. Gradually, the orphans, elderly and disabled people in Bianliang had a place to support them, and the orphans also had funds, and they could even go to school.

Although Taixue has allocated funds, for the first academic institution in the Song Dynasty, money and food are never enough. However, if you accept donations, someone will probably impeach you.

"If there are any complaints in the court, just push back. I have the final say in everything."

When the group arrived at the gate, they saw dozens of businessmen surrounding the gate, laughing and talking to the gatekeeper.

"The sacrificial wine is here."

The disciple was a little carried away by the flattery. When he saw Guo Qian coming, he quickly avoided it.

Guo Qian smiled and said: "You sages, this is..."

The businessmen all laughed dryly, and an older man said: "I dare to ask Jijiu, are there those beds in the Imperial College?"

"What?"

Guo Qian's expression changed slightly, and the businessman continued: "It's that...the bed that was made by the imperial edict, the one used in the workshop..."

"No!"

Guo Qian said with a straight face: "This is Taixue, there is nothing you want."

The businessman said unwillingly: "The villain is willing to pay a high price!"

"roll!"

Guo Qian burst out suddenly, his face was red and his fists were clenched.

The merchants smiled dryly and excused themselves, muttering after they left.

"No, no, why are you so angry?"

"After the imperial edict is gone, the Imperial Academy will become worse day by day. It is indeed inappropriate for us to ask this."

"But you can make money! If you can get a bed, it's equivalent to ten more old craftsmen. Do you want it?"

"Definitely!"
